Home Again

The wife and I had got in a fight, and I was kicked out for the night
So I sat at the bar fumin mad
Then a short man walked in, a young Mexican
Wearin a three piece suit and a black cowboy hat

He ordered a Pacifico, and I said, "Hey amigo,
How bout you order a real beer, or go back to where you came."
I know it wasn't right, but I was drunk and wantin to fight
But he just smiled and asked me my name

I said, "I aint tellin you nothin," and to prove I wasn't bluffin
I walked over and knocked the bottle out his hand
It spilled all down his suit, I waited to see what he'd do
But he smiled, shook his head, and walked out the back

I followed him outside still lookin for a fight
and said "hey Pancho why you runnin away scared"
But faster than a mamba strike, he hit me with a pretty hard right
And I keeled over gaspin for air

He pulled out a revolver, and poured the bullets in his hand
and said, "Amigo, do you believe in heaven or hell?
Well you might find out tonight, what's on the other side
For messin with a member of the Cartel

He said my cylinder holds 5, but I'm gonna put in 3
For everything that you've done to me
One for spilling my beer, one for ruining my suit
and one more for bein racist and mean

He put the bullets in, gave the cylinder a spin
Ad I still lay writhing on the ground
He pulled the hammer back, I waited for the blast
And I thought of my wife and kids back in town

He pulled the trigger, click. I couldn't help but flinch
He grinned and said, "Todays your lucky day
I let the Lord decide, and He wants to spare your life
And I hope that you'll go and change your ways."

He got inside his car, drove away from the bar
And I used a payphone to call a cab
Now I don't pick no fights, ever since that scary night,
With the cartel member in the black cowboy hat.

Black Cowboy Hat

Baby girl it's time to say goodbye
I'm sure you know the reason why
You said that you'd change, but you're still the same
So I'm leavin you behind

All we do is fuss and fight
But you know I treat you right
I gave you my heart, from the very start
But you still treat me unkind

I'm worn out from wastin all my time
I'm weary from all these tears I'm cryin

I'm goin far away
Don't try and make me stay
I bid you farewell, go and find someone else
I'm tired of the games you play

I'm worn out from wastin all my time
I'm weary from all these tears I'm cryin

But then she came to me 
Said "Honey please don't leave"
Her tears and her sobs once again the job
From this woman I'll never be free

Never Be Free

Why do I forget?
How good I've got it
How faithful you have been
To me just like you promised

I've never gone hungry
Always had clothes on my back
In You Lord, there is nothing I lack

You've been right there with me
Through my darkest nights
Led me to green pastures
And helped me see the light

I've never gone hungry
Always had clothes on my back
In You Lord, there is nothing I lack

Sweet freedom, oh what a sweet release
To trust in You Lord, and fight my battles on my knees
No matter what might come my way
You'll be with me through anything I face

Why Do I Forget

Darlin there ain't a thing I'd change
Everything about you drives me wild
Your wavy hair, rosy lips, ocean eyes, and curvy hips
Everything about you drives me wild

Can't picture my life with no one else
No other girl has made me feel this way I felt
Holdin you in my arms your head upon my chest
Baby I'm so blessed

How pretty you are my darlin angel
A lily among all the thorns
Not a day goes by, that I'm not the luckiest guy
In the whole wide world

Can't picture my life with no one else
No other girl has made me feel this way I felt
Holdin you in my arms your head upon my chest
Baby I'm so blessed

Music playing soft in the background
Candles burnin low, castin shadows all around
You and I together, letting the world pass us by
Baby I'm so happy you are mine

Can't picture my life with no one else
No other girl has made me feel this way I felt
Holdin you in my arms your head upon my chest
Baby I'm so blessed

Baby I'm So Blessed

Cause all the high times they don't last
Startin today, I'm gonna change my ways

All the bridges I burned, All the damage I dealt

Cause all the high times they don't last
Startin today, I'm gonna change my ways
I'm givin it all up to start growin up
I'm givin it all up to start growin up
