Lyrics:
She’s kinda crazy
Yeah she’s long tall and lean
She’s as mean as a snake
And she likes to make scene

She’s a wild one
She’s a wild wild child
Well I can’t think
I need a drink
Driver
Take me down to Bourbon Street

She said she loved me
And then she ran around
Miss Rosy told me
She was out with Willie Brown

She’s a wild one
She’s a wild wild child
Well I can’t think
I need a drink
Driver
Take me down to Bourbon Street

She’s after diamonds
And fancy prancy clothes
Let me tell you now
That girl is trouble
And everybody knows

She’s a wild one
She’s a wild wild child
Well I can’t think
I need a drink
Driver
Take me down to Bourbon Street



Bourbon Street

Lyrics:
You like New York City and I like Tennessee
And all this hustle bustle it’s just not for me
Best of intentions It ain’t no one’s fault
I’m going back to Nashville cause that’s where I belong

All your fancy friends and those prancy things they say
No uncertain terms I’m standing in your way
Best of intentions It ain’t no one’s fault
I’m going back to Nashville cause that’s where I belong

Autumn’s come and gone
Long enough to know
Time for me to go

My trains leavin’ early so I’m gonna go ahead and say goodbye
Your lips say don’t go but your eyes say that’s a lie
Best of intentions It ain’t no one’s fault
I’m going back to Nashville cause that’s where I belong

I’m going back to Nashville cause that’s where I belong

Going Back To Nashville

Lyrics:
Ten miles into the woods
Three hundred miles out
Everything changing	
And I’ve been cut out

I’ve got you
I’ve got you
I know you won’t let me down

The words that they’ve chosen  
Cut like a knife
It's no way to live now 
It's no kind of life

But You’ve got me
You’ve got me
You know I won’t let you down

Harmonica break

They’ve chosen their cages 
They’ll never be free
A prison of mirrors
Yet they’ll never see

I’ve got you
You’ve got me
And now it’s time for us to break free
Yes now it’s time for us to break free

Break

Standing by

Lyrics:
He left her on a Wednesday
While she was by his side
He drifted off to early
No time for goodbyes

And she's waiting for the sun
She's just waiting for the sun
Yes she's waiting for the sun
So she can leave

She said she's going home now
She's riding all alone
A love that last forever
A house that's made of stone

And she's waiting for the sun
Yes she's waiting for the sun
She's just waiting for the sun
So she can leave

Waiting For The Sun

Lyrics:
Don't want to be a rose
You want to be a wildflower
Never mind the sun
You want to take a moon shower

Half a mile from here we'll disappear aboard the midnight train

You say you're getting old
You say you've reached a milestone mama
You're tired of being sold
You're tired of all the hometown drama

Half a mile from here we'll disappear aboard the midnight train

I love the way the moon glows
I love the way the wind blows
When it goes
Through your hair

Gonna be a wild ride mama
Gonna be a rodeo
Gonna be an LA drama
Gonna have to rope me down

Half a mile from here we'll disappear aboard the midnight train

Half A Mile From Here

Lyrics:
It's just a dream
Don't worry about a thing
Don't worry about a thing
It's just a dream

They're turning green
The leaves are turning green
And it will soon be spring
Don't worry about a thing

Round and round we go

Stay a while 
Let me see you smile
Let me see you smile
Stay a while

Round and round we go
Round and round we go
Round and round we go

Stay A While

Lyrics:
I am the man they call Sue Monday
I used to ride in Tennessee
They finally caught me on a Sunday
Now they gonna crucify me

I’m gonna be dancin’ 
On nothing at all

Caught me some red legs down in Georgia
Where they been burnin’ down the mills
They had our sisters in their saddles
And I got me four and twenty kills

Yeah they were dancin’ 
On nothing at all

And I made it right
Yeah I made it right
And I made it right right right right

She must be wonderin’ where I am now
She must be lookin’ for me
But I’m locked up in Louisville, Kentucky
And they are never gonna set me free free free

I’m gonna be dancin’ 
On nothing at all

And I made it right
Yeah I made it right
And I made it right right right right

Lyrics:
Ever since I met you
I feel like I’ve understood
Everything that’s happened this far’s
Happened as it should

I’m not gonna rush you 
Tell you I love you today
I know that it’s better 
With all the stops along the way

Cause you know I have sometimes played the fool
When I thought I could break all the rules

When you say you love me
I will take you at your work
But if that word is broken
From me you will not be heard

Cause you know I have sometimes played the fool
When I thought I could break all the rules

Ever since I met you
I feel like I’ve understood
Everything that’s happened this far’s
Happened as it should

I’m not gonna rush you 
Tell you I love you today
I know that it’s better 
With all the stops along the way

Cause you know I have sometimes played the fool
When I thought I could break all the rules
