Toby Keith – I Love This Bar

We got winners, we got losers
Chain smokers and boozers
And we got yuppies, we got bikers
We got thristy hitchhikers
And the girls next door dress up like movie stars

Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar

We got cowboys, we got truckers
Broken-hearted fools and suckers
And we got hustlers, we got fighters
Early birds and all-nighters
And the veterans talk about their battle scars

Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar

[Chorus:]
I love this bar
It’s my kind of place
Just walkin’ through the front door
Puts a big smile on my face
It ain’t too far, come as you are
Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar

I’ve seen short skirts, we got high-techs
Blue-collar boys and rednecks
And we got lovers, lots of lookers
And I’ve even seen dancing girls and hookers
And we like to drink our beer from a mason jar

Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
Yes I do

I like my truck (I like my truck)
I like my girlfriend (I like my girlfriend)
I like to take her out to dinner
I like a movie now and then

But I love this bar
It’s my kind of place
Just trollin’ around the dance floor
Puts a big smile on my face
No cover charge, come as you are
Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar

We got divorcees and a big bouncer man
An old jukebox and a real bad band
We got waitresses and we got barflies
A dumb-ass and a wise-guy
If you get too drunk just sleep out in your car

Reason number 672 why

Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
Play it on out boys
Beer-thirty’s over
Got to take it on home

Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
I just love it

Toby Keith Should’ve Been A Cowboy

I bet you’ve never heard ol’ Marshall Dillion say
Miss Kitty have you ever thought of running away
Settling down would you marry me?
If I asked you twice and begged you pretty please
She’d have said yes in a New York minute
They never tied the knot
His heart wasn’t in it
He just stole a kiss as he rode away
He never hung his hat up at Kitty’s place

I should’ve been a cowboy
I should’ve learned to rope and ride
Wearing my six-shooter riding my pony on a cattle drive
Stealing the young girl’s hearts
Just like Gene and Roy
Singing those campfire songs
Oh I should’ve been a cowboy

I might of had a sidekick with a funny name
Running wild through the hills chasing Jesse James
Ending up on the brink of danger
Riding shotgun for the Texas Rangers
Go west young man, haven’t you been told
California’s full of whiskey, women and gold
Sleeping out all night beneath the desert stars
With a dream in my eye and a prayer…
In my heart

I should’ve been a Cowboy
I should’ve learned to rope and ride
Wearing my six-shooter riding my pony on a cattle drive
Stealing the young girl’s hearts
Just like Gene and Roy
Singing those campfire songs
Oh I should’ve been a cowboy

I should’ve been a Cowboy
I should’ve learned to rope and ride
I’d be wearing my six-shooter riding my pony on a cattle drive
Stealing the young girl’s hearts
Just like Gene and Roy
Singing those campfire songs
Oh I should’ve been a Cowboy
Yeah I should’ve been a Cowboy
Yeah I should’ve been a Cowboy

Toby Keith, Crash Here Tonight ((Acoustic Version))

I almost said I love you
Could I really be that kind of guy
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 there anymore
Act like I never been in love before
You probably think it’s my first time
Is this what love’s all about
Am I getting in too deep
Wouldn’t want to freak you out
Make a promise I can’t keep

So close your eyes and hum along
And I’ll sing you one more love song
If everything is still alright
Why don’t you just crash here tonight

Close your eyes and hum along
And I’ll sing you one more love song
If everything is still alright
Why don’t you just crash here tonight

Girl if everything is still alright
Why don’t you just crash here tonight

American Soldier- Toby Keith (tribute)

I’m just trying to be a father,
Raise a daughter and a son,
Be a lover to their mother,
Everything to everyone.
Up and at ‘em bright and early,
I’m all business in my suit,
Yeah, I’m dressed for success from my head down to my boots,
I don’t do it for money, there’s still bills that I can’t pay,
I don’t do it for the glory, I just do it anyway,
Providing for our future’s my responsibility,
Yeah I’m real good under pressure, being all that I can be,
And I can’t call in sick on Mondays when the weekends been to strong,
I just work straight through the holidays,
And sometimes all night long.
You can bet that I stand ready when the wolf growls at the door,
Hey, I’m solid, hey I’m steady, hey I’m true down to the core,
And I will always do my duty, no matter what the price,
I’ve counted up the cost, I know the sacrafice,
Oh, and I don’t want to die for you,
But if dyin’s asked of me,
I’ll bear that cross with an honor,
‘Cause freedom don’t come free.
I’m an american soldier, an american,
Beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand,
When liberty’s in jeopardy I will always do what’s right,
I’m out here on the front lines, sleep in peace tonight.
American soldier, I’m an American,
An American,
An American Soldier

Toby Keith – Whiskey Girl

Don’t my baby look good in them blue jeans?
Tight on the top with a belly button ring
A little tatoo somewhere in between
She only shows to me

Hey we’re going out dancin’ she’s ready tonight
So damn good-lookin’ boys it ain’t even right
And when bar tender says for the lady
what’s it gonna be?
I tell him man…

[Chorus:]
She ain’t into wine and roses
Beer just makes her turn up her nose
And, she can’t stand the thought of sippin’ champagne
No Cuervo Gold Margaritas
Just ain’t enough good burn in taquilla
She needs somethin’ with a little more edge and a little more pain
She’s my little whiskey Girl
My Ragged-on-the-edges girl
Ah, but I like ‘em rough

Baby got a ‘69 mustang
four on the floor, and you ought to hear the pipes ring
I jump behind the wheel and it’s away we go
Hey, I drive too fast, but she don’t care

Blue bandana tied all up in her hair
Just sittin’ there singin’ every song on the radio

[Chorus x2]

Whoa she’s my little whiskey girl
my raggid-on-the-edges girl
Ah, but I like ‘em rough
Yeah, I like ‘em rough
I like ‘em rough

Toby Keith – Love Me If You Can

Love Me If You Can
(Craig Wiseman/Chris Wallin)

1st Verse

Sometimes I think that war is necessary
Every night I pray for peace on earth
And I hand down my dollars to the homeless
But believe that every able soul should work

Pre Chorus

My father gave me my shotgun
That I’ll hand down to my son
Try to teach him everything it means

Chorus

I’m a man of my convictions
Call me wrong, call me right
But I bring my better angels to every fight
You may not like where I’m goin’
But you sure know where I stand
Hate me if you want to
Love me if you can

2nd Verse

I stand by my right to speak freely
But I worry ’bout what kids learn from TV
And before all the debatin’ turns to angry words and hate
Sometimes we should just agree to disagree

Pre Chorus

And I believe that Jesus
Looks down here and sees us
And if you ask him, he would say

(Chorus Out)

She’s A Hottie – Toby Keith

Toby Keith – A Little Too Late

(chorus)
It’s a little too late
I’m a little too gone,
A little too tired of this hangin’ on
So I’m letting go while I’m still strong enough to
It’s got a little too sad
I’m a little too blue
It’s a little too bad
You were too good to be true
I’m big time over you baby
It’s a little too late

No I don’t want to want to talk about what we can do about us anymore
Only time you and me wastin’ is the time it takes to walk right out that door
Yeah talk about water under the bridge,
You should know by now girl that’s all this is

(chorus)
It’s a little too late,
I’m a little too gone,
A little too tired of just hangin’ on
I’m letting go while I’m still strong enough to
It’s got a little too sad,
I’m a little too blue
It’s a little too bad
You were too good to be true
I’m big time over you baby
It’s a little too late

There was a time,
this heart of mine,
would take you back every time
don’t you know
It’s been two packs of cigaretts
a sleepless night
a nervous wreck, a day ago.
Now you ain’t got no business coming around
I’m closing up shop
Shuttin’ us down

(chorus)
It’s a little too late,
I’m a little too gone,
A little too tired of just hangin’ on
I’m letting go while I’m still strong enough to
It’s got a little too sad,
I’m a little too blue
It’s a little too bad
You were too good to be true
I’m big time over you baby
It’s a little too late
I’m big time over you baby,
It’s a little too late

Toby Keith – Stays in Mexico

His name was Steve,
Her name was Gina,
(spoken) You’ve never been here before have you?
They met at a bar called Cabo Wabo Cantina,
He was an insurance salesman from South Dakota,
She was a first grade school teacher Pheonix Arizona,
(Spoken) No, My first time here
They started dancing and it got real hot,
Then it spilled over to the parking lot,
One more tequila they we’re falling in love,
One more is never enough!

(Chorus)
Don’t bite off more than you can chew,
There’s things down here the devil himself wouldn’t do,
Just remember when you let it all go,
What happens down in Mexico,
Stays in Mexico

He woke up in the morning and he made
a little telephone call,
To check on his wife and his kids back
at home in Souix Falls,
(spoken) hey baby everything ok?
She hopped right in the shower with a heavy heavy mind,
(spoken) What am I doing?
He knew it was the first time Gina
had ever crossed that line,
They walked down to the beach and started drinking again,
Jumped into the ocean for a dirty swim,
One more margarita they we’re falling in love,
One more is never enough!

Chorus
Don’t bite off more than you can chew,
There’s things down here the devil himself wouldn’t do,
Just remember when you let it all go,
What happens down in Mexico,
Stays in Mexico

Oh Mexico

Waiting at the bar at the terminal gate,
She says ‘Steve I gotta go, I’m going to miss my plane’
He said ‘One more tequila before you climb on up,’
She said ‘one more is never enough!’

Don’t bite off more than you can chew,
There’s things down here the devil himself wouldn’t do,
Just remember when you let it all go,
What happens down in Mexico,
Stays in Mexico

Chorus

Stays in Mexico,
Stays in Mexico,
Stays in Mexico,
Oh Mexico

 

Beer for my horses

Well a man come on the 6 o?clock news
Said somebody?s been shot, somebody?s been abused
Somebody blew up a building
Somebody stole a car
Somebody got away
Somebody didn?t get too far yeah
They didn?t get too far

Grandpappy told my pappy, back in my day, son
A man had to answer for the wicked that he done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall oak tree, round up all of them bad boys
Hang them high in the street for all the people to see that

Chorus:

Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles we?ll sing a victory tune
We?ll all meet back at the local saloon
We?ll raise up our glasses against evil forces
Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

We got too many gangsters doing dirty deeds
We?ve got too much corruption, too much crime in the streets
It?s time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground
Send ?em all to their maker and he?ll settle ?em down
You can bet he?ll set ?em down ?cause

Chorus (x2)

Toby Keith-courtesy of the Red White and Blue(war in iraq)

American girls
And American guys
Will always stand up and salute
Will always recognize
When we see Ol’ Glory flying
There’s a lot of men dead
So we can sleep at peace at night
When we lay down our heads

My Daddy served in the Army
Where he lost his right eye
But he flew a flag out on our yard
Til the day that he died
He wanted my mother, my brother,
My sister and me
To grow up and live happy
In the Land of the Free

Now this nation that I love
Has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flying in
From somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see clearly
Through out big black eye
Man, we lit up your world
Like the Fourth of July

Ch:Well, Uncle Sam put your name
At the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shaking her fist
And the Eagle will fly
And there’s gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Liberty
Ringing her bell
And it’ll feel like the whole wide world
Is raining down on you
Brought to you courtesy
Of the Red, White and Blue

Justice will be served
And the battle will rage
This big dog will fight
When you rattle his cage
And you’ll be sorry that you messed with
The U S of A
‘Cause we’ll put a boot in your ass
It’s the American way

Toby Keith – Huckleberry

Just off of the two-lane where the school bus used to stop
Was a little wooden A-frame with a yellow tin roof top
One day it was raining on this world
She said ?have you ever really, really ever kissed a girl??

Baby I?ll be your Huckleberry, you don?t have to double dare me
If the storm gets wild and scary count on me to be right there
You?re so extra ordinary sweet like maraschino cherries
We?ll grow up and we?ll get married
I?m gonna be your Huckleberry

Later on that summer we went to the county fair
They had a brand new roller coaster and everyone was scared
It was two bucks to experience the thrill
She said ?come on boy let?s get in line I?ll ride it if you will?

Baby I?ll be your Huckleberry, you don?t have to double dare me
If the ride gets wild and scary count on me to be right there
You?re so extra ordinary sweet like maraschino cherries
We?ll grow up and we?ll get married
I?m gonna be your Huckleberry

Snuck off on a slow dance at the junior/senior prom
Went lookin? for some romance before I had to get her home
Steamin? up the windows of my car
She said ?until I get my wedding ring boy we can?t go that far?

Baby I?ll be your Huckleberry, you don?t have to double dare me
If the world gets wild and scary count on me to be right there
You?re so extra ordinary sweet like maraschino cherries
We grew up and we got married
Now look at those three little Huckleberries
