Should be hung over
M. Shelton

VERSE 1-
Whiskey and me ain’t never been strangers
Lately we’ve grown way too close
And the harder I grip the bottle
Oh, the stronger is its hold 
  
PRE-CHORUS-
It’s no wonder why that woman walked out on me

CHORUS-
Now, I’m hung over
I tried to drown the mess, that I made of her
Now I must confess, 
Oh, breaking her heart was a crime and I should get more than time, 
It’s something I should be hung over

VERSE 2-
I stand accused, yes, I’m guilty
I don’t deserve a strong defense
I held the bottle instead of her
Oh, now I’m holding onto these regrets

CHORUS-
I’m still hung over
I tried to drown the mess, that I made of her
Now I must confess, 
Oh, breaking her heart was a crime and I should get more than time, 
It’s something I should be hung over

Instrumental Break

PRE-CHORUS-
Oh, I’ve got no one else to blame but me

CHORUS 2-
But I’m still hung over. I’m drowning in the mess, that I made of her
It ain’t hard to guess, that I did everything I could to be a man that was no good
She found a new shoulder. One she could cry on, while he gently holds her
I’m here and she moved on.
Oh, breaking her heart was a crime and I should get more than time, 
It’s something I should be hung over. Something I should be hung over.
Oh, breaking her heart was a crime and I should get more than time, 
It’s something I should be hung over…and over…and over.


Should Be Hungover

Damn Good Mornings (Marvin Shelton-ASCAP)

Verse
Every time I went out with my buds on the town
There was hell to pay at work the next day
So many times before, I’d barely make it through the door
At 5am, saying I’ll never do it again.
 
Pre-CH
Before a cup of joe, I gave out warnings
“Don’t you tell me no damn good mornings”
 
Chorus
Who would have guessed that I’d change
All my friends think I’m acting strange
I’ve traded in drinkin' nonsense
For an all-inclusive romance
I don’t need neon lights
You’re brighter than a Texas sunrise
Girl, with you in my life, they’re all great nights 
And damn good mornings

Verse
I never would’ve thought I could ever be caught
Cuddlin’ tight with the love of my life on a Saturday night
When we’re surfin’ the couch, I don’t wanna go out
Yeah, I got all I need, with you laying on me

Pre-CH
Now I find I'm  always resorting
To hit the sack early for a damn good morning!

Chorus
Who would have guessed that I’d change
All my friends think I’m acting strange
I’ve traded in drinkin' nonsense
For an all-inclusive romance
I don’t need neon lights
You’re brighter than a Texas sunrise
Girl, with you in my life, they’re all great nights 
And damn good mornings

Instrumental

Chorus
I’m so happy that I’ve changed
Now it doesn’t even seem strange
I’ve traded in drinkin' nonsense
For an all-inclusive romance
I don’t need neon lights
You’re brighter than a Texas sunrise
Girl, with you in my life, they’re all great nights 
And damn good mornings
damn good mornings

Damn Good Mornings

I'm Staying Right Here
Marvin Shelton-ASCAP

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I could search the world over
Sail every ocean
Fly into outer space
No one could ever take your place
Right from the start
You saved my heart

[Chorus]
If this ain’t heaven 
Let me be clear
There ain’t no question
I’m staying right here

[Verse 2]
If I left this world tonight
And God said, yeah, it’s time
I’d look for any crack
So I could come back
Just understand
I always wanna be your man

[Chorus]
If this ain’t heaven 
Let me be clear
There ain’t no question
I’m staying right here

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
You are my heaven 
Let me be clear
There ain’t no question
I’m staying right here

[Outro]
Yeah, I’m staying right here!!
I’m staying right here


I'm Staying Right Here

Dancin’    Marvin Shelton-ASCAP

[Verse 1]
Cruisin’ down 25, what’s this shit about 75
Pedal smashed to the floor
Got to hit those swinging doors
Waves rising from the heat
Someone that I got to meet
Black boots, tight jeans
She knows what a good time means

[Pre-chorus]
Tonight, I'm gonna treat myself
Pour me one from the top shelf

[Chorus]
Between you and me and Albuquerque
I'm sick and tired of working, let's go dancing at the Bourbon
She said, if you ever slide down from Denver
Everybody knows, the Bourbon is the place to go

[Verse 2]
Been working nine to five, Pay my bills and all that jive
Down for a road trip
Slip out early, give my boss the slip
Hop in the truck, gas it up
Get on the road and turn it up
Sun’s going down, pulling into town
Sim Balkey’s gonna burn it down

[Pre-chorus]
Tonight, I'm gonna treat myself
That girl is from the top shelf

[Chorus]
Between you and me and Albuquerque
I'm sick and tired of working, let's go dancing at the Bourbon
She said, if you ever slide down from Denver
Everybody knows, the Bourbon is the place to go

[Instrumental]

[BRIDGE]
(Let's go dance, let's go dance, let's go dance, let's go dance, let's go dance, let's go dance, let's go dance, let's go dance, let's go dance, let's go dance)

[Pre-chorus]
Tonight, I'm gonna treat myself
Pour me one from the top shelf

[Chorus]
Between you and me and Albuquerque
I'm sick and tired of working, let's go dancing at the Bourbon
She said, if you ever slide down from Denver
Everybody knows, the Bourbon is the place to go
(dancing, dancing)
Everybody knows, (dancing, dancing) Come on, y’all, let's go!!!

Guys Will Be Guys   Marvin Shelton-ASCAP

[Verse 1]
I can tell I did something wrong
by the way that you hung up the phone
It doesn't take a rocket scientist
To tell me that my girl is pissed

[Pre-Chorus]
Well we've been down this road before
Tell me baby, how much more?

[Chorus]
I just did something wrong again
I never read the book on how to be a boyfriend (how to be a boyfriend)
I just wish that you’d realize
That it's pretty simple
Guys will be guys

[Verse 2]
I guess it’s bad when I leave the seat up
And you get really mad when my chores ain’t done
Well, my honey do list
Is bringing me down
How many times must I take the trash out?

[Pre-Chorus]
I just wanna go out with the boys
Raise a little hell and make some noise!

[Chorus]
I just did something wrong again
I never read the book on how to be a boyfriend (how to be a boyfriend)
I just wish that you'd realize
That it's pretty simple
Guys will be guys

[Bridge]
We’re gonna be just fine
Soon as you realize
Guys will be guys

[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus]
You’ve got therapy shopping out with the girls
Credit maxed out and I'm stuck with the bills

[Chorus]
I just did something wrong again
I never read the book on how to be a boyfriend (how to be a boyfriend)
I just wish that you'd realize
That it's pretty simple
Guys will be guys

[Outro]
guys will be guys
Yeah girls will be girls
And guys will be guys

Guys Will Be Guys

Verse
His hands are dry and cracked
Oh, that's how they’ve always been
The season's hay is stacked
and the cows have all come in
But, sometimes the days feel longer and hotter

CHORUS
He don't drive them cattle
as hard as he used to
He can’t hang in the saddle
quite as long as he wants to
But, the only thing that scares him is the day he'll have to say
Oh, Lord I can’t cowboy any more

Verse
The hat don’t make the man
No, it ain’t the miles that he rides
Long as he gives it all he can
To be the cowboy he is inside
He’ll always be a man to look up to even if

CHORUS
He don't drive them cattle
as hard as he used to
He can’t hang in the saddle
quite as long as he wants to
But, the only thing that scares him is the day he'll have to say
Oh, Lord I can’t cowboy any more

Solo

CHORUS
He don't drive them cattle
as hard as he used to
He can’t hang in the saddle
quite as long as he wants to
But there’ll never come a day when you would ever hear him say
Oh, Lord I can’t!!!
No, there’ll never come a day when you would ever hear him say
Oh, Lord I can’t cowboy any more
cowboy any more

Cowboy Anymore

I'm Moving On(Marvin Shelton-ASCAP)

Verse 1
I never cared too much for words
Most of the time they're followed by hurt
Some thoughts are better left unsaid
So the pain inside is left unfed
I'm moving on

Chorus
No I ain't coming back
I'm moving on
Nothing more to say than that
Just color me gone
Well I could stay here and talk this out
But I don't really care to scream and shout
I'm moving on

Verse 2
Yeah, I need to make a change
I'm gonna rip out this page
Write a new chapter in my book
And a little push is all it took
I'm moving on

Chorus
No I ain't coming back
I'm moving on
Nothing more to say than that
Just color me gone
Well I could stay here and talk this out
But I don't really care to scream and shout
I'm moving on

Instrumental

Chorus
Yeah, I'm moving on
Gotta get my life on track
I'm moving on
I've said enough and that is that
just think of me as gone
Well I could stay here and talk this out
But that's not what you're all about
So, I'm moving on

I'm moving on
I'm moving on

I'm Moving On

He Didn’t Lose Her (Marvin Shelton-ASCAP)

Verse
She wouldn’t have left him for another man. 
By his side, she’d always stand
Nothing in this world could’ve pushed her away
But that don’t make it any easier to take

CHORUS
He didn’t lose her, but she’s gone. 
God gave her wings, she put em on
All he could do is pick up and carry on
Cuz’ he didn’t lose her…but she’s gone.

Verse
She left her little boy by his side. 
And that little boy never saw his daddy cry. 
He promised to always put on a strong face. 
But that didn’t make it any easier to take.

CHORUS
He didn’t lose her, but she’s gone. 
God gave her wings, she put em on
All he could do is pick up and carry on
Cuz’ he didn’t lose her…but she’s gone.

BRIDGE
Why do the good ones always get taken to soon?
why couldn’t heaven see that he needed her too?

CHORUS
He didn’t lose her, but she’s gone. 
God gave her wings, she put em on
He’ll raise their son and he’ll carry on
Cuz’ he didn’t lose her…but she’s gone.
No he didn’t lose her, she just went home
And he still talks to her….

He Didn't Lose Her

Ain't no use denyin'

Our Song (Marvin Shelton-ASCAP)

Verse
Do you want to write a song with me
I'll be the words, to your melody
We can play it fast, or we can go slow
Only time will tell how it's gonna go

Verse
In a couple of months, we'll have the verse
I'll either have you laughin', or make you wanna curse
But if you decide that you wanna stay mine
We'll be singing the chorus in the very next line

Chorus
'Cause this is our song, 
write it every day as we go along
Sing about the good times and the bad, 
all about the love that we have
'Cause this is our song, this is our song

Verse 
You can bring me in with a gentle strum
Make my heart pound just like a drum
Every time I hear another stanza
Oh, I just wanna raise my hands up

Chorus
'Cause this is our song, 
write it every day as we go along
Sing about the good times and the bad, 
all about the love that we have
'Cause this is our song, this is our song

We'll sing about the good times and the bad, all about the love that we have
'Cause this is our song, this is our song

'Cause this is our song, write it every day as we go along
Sing about the good times and the bad, all about the love that we have
Yeah, this is our song
(Every time I hear our song, I just wanna sing along)
(Every time I hear our song, I just wanna sing along)
Yeah , this is our song
