My buddy said his girlfriend is as pretty as can be.
He said: "Help a brother out tonight,
"An' come double date with me."

"An' they're lookin...
Guess it slipped my mind: now I'm in trouble deep.
For the last two years in a row,
I forgot our anniversary.
So I come rushin' in: twelve roses in bloom.
Said: "Honey would you like a romantic eve...
Thought I'd call you up an' see if you had celebrated,
Day you were born: It's a little belated.
Age is just a number an' it's really over-rated to me.
Yeah, November 3rd: that's a day I remember,
...
Seven in the mornin',
She'd have to make a choice:
Precious baby girl,
Or a bouncin' baby boy.
She could either keep it,
Or give that child away.
So she quit school that mornin',
An' became a Mom t...
It's as sad as it's true,
But I can't believe a word that you say.
I've been hopin' for the best,
But there's less and less an' more every day.
You can't hide where you been, behind that little gri...
Note to self: better call.
She'll be mad as hell if I know her at all.
'Cause today's her birthday an' I almost forgot.
Note to self: I better not
Note to self: on my way home,
Don't forget the ro...
She called me on the 'phone and said:
"C'mon, get on the plane tonight, pronto."
So just like every time when Kimo Sabi cried for help,
Here come Tonto.
I guess she run her lover off again,
An' I c...
Yeah, when I came to, you were standin' by the foot of the bed.
I was still hung over an' my eyes were bloodshot red.
Did you think things were gonna be different?
Did you think you tore my heart a...
I almost said: "I love you."
Could I really be that kind of guy?
To see one candle burning in your eye,
And watch my heart fill up with butterflies?
I almost said I need you:
Girl, I shouldn't go t...
I got a sweet little woman: she knows that I love her true.
I gotten three little kids on the floor an' they love their Daddy too.
I got a one on the way an' I don't think I can pay the doctor bill...
It's a little too late, I'm a little too gone;
A little too tired of this hangin' on:
So I'm lettin' go while I'm still strong enough to.
It's got a little too sad, I'm a little too blue;
It's a li...
Yeah the big boss man, he likes to crack that whip
I ain't nothing but a number on his timecard slip,
I give him 40 hours and a piece of my soul,
Puts me somewhere at the bottom of his totem pole,
...
I see you standin' in the sun
Like an iron dinosaur
Got your tired head restin'
On a West Texas floor
We were really something son
Back in our time
Yeah we broke a lot of hearts
And we made a lot o...
There's no need to apologize
This happens time and time again
As soon as somebody lays their eyes on her
They dial right in
I watched you sneak a look
From the other side of the floor

The needle showed the gas was low
And three dollars in my pocket
Her beauty got the best of me
And she didn't try to stop it
On a dead end road nobody knows
A thing about but me
We parked that old ...
Hey Daddy!!
Oh yeah
Well I am a big dog daddy you know my face and the joint starts rockin when I walk in the place
The band starts stompin those rhythm guitars.
And the dance floor is jumpin throu...
(Chorus)
Hey goodbye senorita, you sure been a friend of mine.
She said well adios amigo.
Some other place, some other time.
Then we drank a shot of tequilla, baby 'till we meet again
She just said...
(Chorus)
I'm gonna get my drink on, I wanna hear me a sad song.
My baby just left home, I didn't treat her right.
Right here's where I belong, I'm gonna stay 'till the money's gone.
If it takes me ...
Yea, the whole town came out to watch
The day the paved the parking lot
Somebody hung a ribbon up,
And then they cut it down
And that big white rose upon that sign
Put innocence in all our lives
