Sweet Country Sound I was raised off the land you see Caught Fish and I picked from trees I learned real early how to work real hard Grew Crops, had a steer or two, Chopped Wood had a chicken coop Yeah, we were country, down to our bones But at night when the work was done, Oh lord we had some fun Yeah, neighbors would come in from miles around A big gut bass & a slide guitar, a fiddle player or a honkytonk harp no tellin what’cha hear, but you know it’ll be good and old Hank would always find his way, Waylon, Willie and Johnny’d get played Lord they blessed our house most every night Daddy would sing them low down blues, just like ol’ Hank used to Mamma would jump in and harmo-nize Just give me that Sweet Country sound, I don’t need no rock to roll me around That Sweet Country sound It’ll kick my boots till they lay me down… “get down” When I grew up I moved out east, became a genuine city fried freak Let my hair grow long and my belt grew wide I was playing that rock and roll, but it just didn’t soothe my soul Like that country music, from way back home So I dug out my boots and my daddy’s black hat, Got me a honky-tonk band I started playing my music everywhere I’d go From the New York city Broadway lights, to Los Angeles neon nights I spread the seeds of country, and watched em grow Oh Hank would always find his way, Waylon, Willie and Johnny’d get played Lord they blessed our house most every night Daddy would sing them low down blues, just like ol’ Hank used to Mamma would jump in and harmo-nize Just give me that Sweet Country sound, I don’t need no rock to roll me around That Sweet Country sound It’ll kick my boots till they lay me down… “get down”

Love at First Drink © 2004 Cowboy Bob Sawyer Well it all seemed to happen on a Sat’day nite, the moon was full & the stars were bright I’d just gone into town to wet my whistle at the local inn, I wasn’t lookin for trouble, I had a plan, I was lookin to see that bartender man, And drown my weekly sorrows in a bottle of gin I’d just finished drinkin up my first round or five, my courage was up, I was feelin alive I was lookin through the bottom of my glass, when I saw her standing there I turned my head, to see who was there, but I guess it was me she was giving that stare I’m tellin you guys, I think my luck was about to change Cause she was blonde, tall & thin, with a come and get me grin, and I shoulda known right & there that my ship was sank, But I was in love, with anything that moved, and then she moved me yeah, I was in love… love at first drink…. Well she batted them long blonde lashes at me, my knees got weak, she’s just gotta be That angel I’d been prayin long & hard for since I was a teen. I jumped off my stool & headed her way, I was thinkin of sumpin suave & deboner to say When this truck in a leather jacket, spun her around I stopped dead in my tracks, & started to leave, But then she turned around, hell she was lookin at me, And I swear I saw a look of fear a coming from her eyes Well I’m not usually the fighting kind, I say live and let live that’s my state of mind, But then she started to cry and I turned into one of them super guys Cause she was blonde, tall & thin, with a come and get me grin, and I shoulda known right & there that my ship was sank, But I was in love, with anything that moved, and then she moved me yeah, I was in love… love at first drink…. Well I grabbed me a chair, broke it over his head, He just turned around, that’s when I knew I was dead, I tell ya this guy was one big muscle with broken teeth I needed something fast to even this race, so I got me a bottle, smashed it cross his face He just spit out the glass and smiled, man, I was too deep Then he grabbed him a table and held it up in the air, I didnt wanna be around to see where it'd land I just grabbed ol’ angel eyes by the arm and headed out that bar Well Lady luck musta been with me that night, cause when he threw the table he was off to the right and It crashed through the window, as we hi-tailed it out to the car There’s a moral to this story thats gotta be told, if your out gettin schnockered & your feelin kinda bold And a certain little angel comes a knockin ‘cross your door You better turn and run, you better head for the hills Cause your gonna be sorry when you get the bill Cause I’m tellin ya guys, she’ll have ya comin back for more Cause she’ll be blonde, tall & thin, with a come and get me grin, and ya better know right then & there that yer ship is sank, But you’ll be in love, oo’ with anything that moves, then she’ll move ya, oh you’ll be in love, Love at 1st drink

Too Many Teardrops in my Coffee © 1987 - Cowboy Bob Sawyer Well you told me you were going out this evening With some girlfriends to a late night picture show Well you’ve taken me for a fool one too many times And this may be the time, I’m gonna go Cause there’s too many teardrops in my coffee From too many heartaches in my beer From too many lonesome nights I’ve been spending Waiting home, and wishing you were here Well your wedding ring was off your finger this morning I found it in the pocket of your jeans With a matchbook from a local motels bar room You just laughed and said, It wasn’t what it seemed Cause there’s too many teardrops in my coffee From too many heartaches in my beer From too many lonesome nights I’ve been spending Waiting home, and wishing you were here Well I packed my bags again and said that it’s over Talking to an empty room once again You’ve kept me hangin on one too many times Breaking my heart each time, but now it won’t mend Cause there’s too many teardrops in my coffee From too many heartaches in my beer From too many lonesome nights I’ve been spending Waiting home, and wishing you were here Waiting home, and wishing you were here

Tumbleweed 03:53
TumbleWeed © 2005 - Cowboy Bob Sawyer He barely stood 5 ft tall, Aw, but he was a giant amongst men The folks all around called him tumbleweed, Cause of the way he came blowin on the wind No one was really sure of just where he came from, but everyone around knew where he belonged And what his past carried had long been left behind It was here and now, that he called home Dusty roads and one night stands, were all he ever knew Living life one day at a time, with nothing left to lose The story goes that they met one night, On his way of just passin’ through But with a smile and a kiss, in the risin’ moon light, This ramblin man sprung roots It wasn’t long before he was a downright outstanding citizen And she was the envy the girls all around And soon this fine young man the folks called Tumbleweed Had this country girl dreaming of silk n’ lace wedding gowns The life of a rambler, cheater & gambler, were gone like yesterdays blues Sent from above, this woman he loved, God knows she loved him too Well they got married one evening in the breath of a soft summer breeze On the bank of the creek where they first met All the town folk came out to see these two young lovers As the full moon rose over a blood red sunset Now it seemed like years that they lived in joyful wedded bliss He had all but forgotten about his scarred and troubled past But when you’re the outlaw with the quickest gun Dreams of happiness just ain’t meant to last He’d lay a rose on her pillow each night, and sing her a simple mans song Forever & ever is all I can give, and forever is where we belong He was hanging his wifes picture on the wall that night, when the boy outlaw and his brother came busting in he didn’t bother turning round’ cause he knew it didn’t matter The dream he’d been living was about to end She found him on the floor, barely hangin onto dear life He took her hand and brought it up to his chest He opened his eyes one last time, and whispered “forever” And her Tumbleweed finally came to rest
