Song Lyrics
Girl Like That
Steve Carter/Bill Colbert/Ace Ford (Red Brazos music/Caliche music/Blue Water music)
She walked across the dance floor, fussin’ with her hair
Like she apperared right out of thin air
Flashin’ a smile that would knock you flat
Boy, I could fall for a girl like that
She passed right by without a second look
I did a double take and that’s all it took
I saw it was me she was lookin’ at
Boy, I could fall for a girl like that
Chorus:
Boy I could fall for a girl like that
Heart over heels at the drop of a hat
Right outa the park, right off of the bat
Boy I could fall for a girl like that
I walked over to her to ask her to dance
I lost her in the crowd, I missed my chance
Back to my seat and there she sat
Boy I could fall for a girl like that
The Redneck Level
Alan Moe Monsarrat/Steve Carter/Jerome Earnest (Mad Moe Music/Born Liar Music)
Fancy words are comin’ out of your mouth
I ain’t too sure what your talkin’ about
I’m tryin’ real hard just to understand
But you’ve got to realize I’m a simple man
I ain’t a lawyer, I’m just a rebel
So, bring it on down to the redneck level
I haven’t bought a computer yet
And I ain’t never surfed on the internet
You won’t find me sittin’ home on Saturday night
‘cause honky-tonk dancin’ is what I like
As for beer, you better give me several
To Bring it on down to the redneck level
Chorus:
The redneck level is the bottom line
It’s what everybody understands all the time
So, don’t talk to me like a silver-tongued devil
Bring it on down to the redneck level
I like Sunday dinner with all my clan
Cornbread cooked in an old black pan
I like fishin’ and tyin’ flies
Wide open spaces and starry skies
I get in the truck, put the pedal to the metal
To bring it on down to the redneck level
Old Side Of Town
Steve Carter/Alan Moe Monsarrat/Graham Carter Born Liar music/Big One music)
There’s an old man up working late in his store
He only fixes things they don’t make anymore
He’s been on this corner for 36 years
And I can’t remember when he wasn’t here
Out on her front porch Miss Emily Jones
Still lookin’ good she’s a faded rose
She catches my eye with a wave and a smile
Just like she did when I was a child
Chorus:
On the old side of town I can always depend
On every street corner like a long lost friend
Buildings stand proud even though they’re run down
Life goes on on the old side of town
The years roll by and the dust blows in
The old folks just come out and sweep it off again
When they lay down I’ll take my turn
But for right now I’ve got years to burn
When the sun goes down and the lights turn on
All the paint looks new and the dirt is gone
When a dance gets danced and a song get’s sung
It looks like it did when my world was young
Long Gone Cold Desire
As I wake up in the morning, I put the wrong foot out of my bed
there`s nothing in the ice-box, no more wonderbread
no coffee in the grinder, no wood to feed the fire
no love to kindle this old heart, just your long gone cold desire
When I think of all the time I wasted being true
walking that old tight-rope line wanting only you
now my well`s run out of water, no wood to feed the fire
no love to kindle this old heart, just your long gone cold desire
As I go to sleep this evening, it's you I'm dreamin' of
you talk about believeingyou end up leavin' love
no letter on the table no wood to feed the fire
no love to kindle this old heart,just your long gone cold desire
Jak Daniels
Alan Moe Monsarrat (Mad Moe Music)
If you see her please tell her that I’m sorry
I don’t blame her for walking out the door
And you can tell her I’m doin’ better
Than I ever was before
Jack Daniels doesn’t live here anymore
Everyday I fight the demon that’s inside me
Every night I try to even up the score
And it’s workin’ ‘cause I can walk
Right past that liquor store
Jack Daniels doesn’t live here anymore
I know wthat I can’t change the past
I can’t make her forget
But I just want to tell her that
It ain’t over yet
You can tell her that she won’t find me
Lyin’ on that bar’room floor
Jack Daniels doesn’t live here (the boy packed up and left here)
Jack Daniels doesn’t live here
Silky Sue
Alan Moe Monsarrat/Steve Carter (Mad Moe Music/Born Liar Music)
It was a rainy night up in Kentucky
That was the night that I got lucky with you
Little silky Sue
You were workin’ in a bar on the access road
Where the radiator blew and the truck got towed, it’s true
Little silky Sue
Silky Sue what are you gonna do
When the sun goes down
Paint the whole town red
or just lie in bed And roll our eyes around
When I hear that moanin’ of the old freight train
The fever rises up in me again
Well, I ain’t never loved anybody else like you
Little silky Sue
We lit out of town like a prairie fire
I had big dreams and a strong desire for you
Little silky Sue
We rolled on down to Dothan Alabama
Set up house and had a kid or two
They looked just like you
Silky Sue what are you gonna do
When the sun goes down
Paint the whole town red or just lie in bed
And roll our eyes around
When I open up the window and it smell like rain
The feelin’ washes over me again
Well, I ain’t never loved anybody else like you
Little silky Sue
Not In This World
Alan Moe Monsarrat (Mad Moe Music)
The pain inside my heart is a living thing
As I sit staring out the kitchen door
Now the sky is turning black
And she ain't coming back
But someday we'll be together once more
Chorus:
But not in this world
Not in this world
In this world I can't undo the wrong I've done
Not in this world
'Cause in this world
My light may fade away before too long
They say that father time can heal most anything
But the pain keeps growing stronger day by day
There's voices in my brain
And I can't stand the pain
But someday she will love me once again…
…Chorus…out
Velma from Selma
Augie Meyers
You used to be my lover
We did it under cover
Now it’s all out in the open
Why did you tell your brother?
You brother told your Mother
Your mother told you Father
Your Father beat the shit out of me
Your Father he told me
He never wants to see me
Hanging around anymore
He said if he found me
He’d take me out and ground me
And make an enchilada out of me
Velma from Selma, won’t you please tell me what to do
You want to be my lover
We’ve got some ground to cover
‘cause I just don’t want to be no enchilada
I Just Want To Fall In Love Again
Steve Carter (Born Liar Music)
I keep thinkin’ ‘bout that first kiss
Our walk together hand in hand
I was afraid it would lead to this
I just want to fall in love again
I’m not tryin’ to fool myself
To lead you on or reel you in
I don’t want to find someone else
I just want to fall in love again
Let me know
What’s on your mind
When I’m with you
It just gets better all the time
I’m not certain that you’re the one
To be a lover and a friend
But gettin’ there is half the fun
I just want to fall in love again
In love - again
The Two Step Program
Alan Moe Monsarrat/Steve Carter (Mad Moe Music / Born Liar Music)
I never used to come in here when she was my wife
But now it seems like I’m in here almost every night
But you needn’t worry ‘bout me ‘cause I’m doin’ fine
I’m on the 2-step program to dance her off my mind
I took advice from my best friend he swore it worked for him
Now I don’t have to make amends for the shape I’m in
And there’s no rules about drinkin' or havin’ a good time
I’m on the 2-step program to dance her off my mind
Chorus:
The program is a big success, I want you all to know
I step in here and drink some beer and ‘round the floor I go
I cut a rug and jitterbug with every gal I find
I’m on the 2-step program to dance her off my mind
I keep on thinkin’ that some night she may wander in
I don’t believe she’d like the look of all my brand new friends
I’ve spun around with every gal in town, they’ve all been very kind
They know I’m on the 2-step program to dance her off my mind
Sudden Stop
Steve Carter/Bill Colbert (Born Liar music/ Caliche music)
You're mindin‘ your own business
And the last thing on your mind
is a new romance but you just cant say no
your heart leaps off that dusty shelf
As you try to convince yourself
you won‘t rush in this time, you‘ll take it slow
The stars are dancin’ around the moon
Yout head is spinnin’ pretty soon
Those same three words jump
It s too late now it’s said and done
Face it, you‘re as good as gone
Enjoy the ride, looks like your headin’ south
When you fall in love
You take that step into the blue
It‘s a long way down
Might as well enjoy the view
When your heart hits bottom
You won t survive the drop
It aint the fall that gets you
It s that sudden stop
It‘s the same old story, different song
What started out alright went wrong
This time you were so sure that it would last
But its adios, goodbye, that’s all
No parachute can break your fall
Dont I look now, the ground is closin’ fast
Ramona
Alan Monsarrat / Holly Watson
I’ve got a date with the biggest slut in town
It was easy when I told her
You weren’t around
She gave me her room key and she said
“Just come on down”
I ainn’t done it yet
But I might
Ramona if you don’t come home tonight
Ramona
I’m hangin’ by a thread
Forgive me
For all those things I said
Please come back
And give me one more chance
Or the devil’s gonna get me in his sight
Ramona if you don’t come home tonight
I’m gonna buy a drag racing car
That way I can get home fast
When they close the bar
I’m goin’ bungee jumping and I’m taking up cigars
I ain’t done it yet but I might
Ramona if you don’t come home tonight
I’m tryin’ out to be a matador
I’m gonna parachute from the forty-second floor
I’ll be skinnydippin’ soon
In a place called Shark Lagoon
I ain’t done it yet but I might
Ramona if you don’t come home tonight
Rodeoactive
Alan Moe Monsarrat (Mad Moe Music)
Her blue jeans look just like
They’ve peen painted on.
She wears them tucked up in her boots
And her legs are long
She’s got an old black Stetson hat
Sittin’ on her head
She hangs it on the rockin’ chair
When she crawls into bed
Sometimes the ridin’ stock is good
Sometimes she finds it lacking
She’s Rodeoactive
She’s Rodeoactive
Her heart beats a little bit faster
When they open up that chute
She really loves to watch them ride
And there’s no substitute
She can ride and rope and barrel race with all the rest
When it comes to dancin’
They say that she’s the best
She’s headed for the honky-tonk
When the show is through
And a whole lot of two-steppin’
Is a what she’s a gonna do
When its time to do the chore
You won’t find her slackin’
She’s Rodeoactive
She’s Rodeoactive
