On My Way To Mexico 02:53
lyrics

Una sonrisa y una mujer in the moonlight I whisper a song, the desert gets quiet at night A flame from the fire, a hint of desire in your eye Don’t be a fool, you know that you’ve been on my mind So please don’t break my heart I know we’ve been so far apart But I let my lover go Now I’m lonesome on my own Won’t you meet me on my way to Mexico? My bags are packed, I’m leaving town in the morn’ You say we’ll meet again, but I’m not sure Don’t try to lie, I’ve heard it all before Just “besos y buena suerte” mi amor So please don’t break my heart I know we’ve been so far apart But I let my lover go Now I’m lonesome on my own Won’t you meet me on my way to Mexico? I let my lover go Now I’m lonesome on my own Won’t you meet me on my way to Mexico?

Keep On Keepin' On 04:05

Little buddy bitin’ on a Backwoods singing his song “Everybody round here packed up and they got gone" Been caught up splitting our time between right and wrong This girl been messin’ with my haircut all day long Ohio middle of the highway far from here Get tickets to the rodeo ‘bout once a year Little fire in the belly of the beast with God to fear No work in town, take it easy on Daddy my dear We been broke down, washed out, can’t seem to get along We got bad luck, we messed up, but we keep on keepin’ on Like a pitbull chompin’ on a chain looking mighty mean Tattoo tear falling on the cheek of a small town queen All she does is think about the things she ain’t never gonna see On a playground messin’ with a bottle of Dad’s Jim Beam We been broke down, washed out, can’t seem to get along We got bad luck, we messed up, but we keep on keepin’ on The clouds roll in without a warning sign This kid spend this whole life like he’d be doing time He threw his weapon down between the cotton and the corn No way of getting out of this kind of storm Come on lord, look at the mess you made! Come on lord, could you make it go away? We been broke down, washed out, can’t seem to get along We got bad luck, we fucked up, but we keep on keepin’ on We been broke down, washed out, can’t seem to get along We got bad luck, we messed up, but we keep on keepin’ on

Ask You To Dance 03:59
lyrics

Sure feels good to be home for some time Out on the road you get dusty and tired Sure feels good when you come back to town Some things don’t change when you’re not around The gang’s downtown and we’re havin’ a few They stay telling lies like the old folks we knew The barkeep is friendly, the company is fine So why don’t you come down here and sit by my side? I been hangin’ round with my boys for a while Wonderin’ if I still got a chance I filled up the jukebox down at the bar And I’ve been meanin’ to ask you to dance I don’t love you like I did long ago It’s been years since I’ve been back on the West Coast But I got this feelin’ down in my bones And there’s a few things I just need to know I been hangin’ round with my boys for a while Wonderin’ if I still got a chance I filled up the jukebox down at the bar And I’ve been meanin’ to ask you to dance I been hangin’ round with my boys for a while Wonderin’ if I still got a chance I filled up the jukebox down at the bar And I’ve been meanin’ to ask you to dance Been meanin’ to ask you to dance

Baby’s on the freeway, says she’s going home Long Island beauty with her work boots on I can walk to work my baby takes the train Waitin’ on the weekend I been countin’ days Thinkin’ on the words I’m gonna tell her along the way Sippin’ on her coffee, watch the trucks roll by Never said she’s sorry now she wonders why Prayin’ in the garden, bent down in the sun Runnin’ through her mind like “did I miss the one” Lord, let me lie out in the country when my work is done Go on and take your time Go on and slow down your mind It’s gonna be alright Now I’m sippin’ on this whiskey round the county line Thinkin’ on your momma boy she raised you right Your friends are gettin’ married you’re still hangin’ round Hidin’ from the winter till the sun comes out I can’t tell you how long this will last girl, but we got right now Go on and take your time Go on and slow down your mind It’s gonna be alright Baby’s on the freeway says she’s going home Long Island beauty with her work boots on

Crescent Moon 03:31
lyrics

I’m all alone New York City little apartment home I had a dream About the falling snow By the river side We were swimming in the water Not paying any mind Our friends came down The sun came out The seasons changed We got found I woke up on the couch I smiled, I shook my head And waited for a sound I’ve been here For quite a while I’m restless dear I could run for miles I’m thinking, if you’ve got the time Would you come on over And sing with me tonight We could get away Sometime soon To a mountain lake With a crescent moon Somewhere far away among the pines But until we get there Could you sing with me tonight Sing with me tonight Sing with me tonight
