"No Zip Code" (2018)




Way Gone lyrics - David Lee Murphy

She ain't cryin' on the shoulder of the road
Somewhere out on the edge of town
She ain't listening to a sad song lookin' in the rear view
Thinking she should turn around
She ain't thinking she made a mistake
That she left too fast, that there's still a chance
She ain't even just a little bit sorry
Man, that ain't where she's at

She's way gone, way gone
She's way down the road, ain't just going gone
Way gone
Got her foot on the gas two, back speakers blown
Got a crazy little smile on her face and the train of thought she's on
Is way gone

She ain't waiting on a late night call
Saying sorry, baby, please come back
She ain't drivin' and cryin' and
Rewinding good times that she had
She ain't saying a sweet little prayer
Asking Heaven what went wrong

She's way gone, way gone
She's way down the road, ain't just going gone
Way gone
Got her foot on the gas two, back speakers blown
Got a crazy little smile on her face and the train of thought she's on
Is way gone

She ain't worried 'bout a road map
How she's gonna crawl back on her knees

She's way gone, way gone
She's way down the road, ain't just going gone
Way gone
Got her foot on the gas two, back speakers blown
Got a crazy little smile on her face and the train of thought she's on
Is way gone

Well she ain't comin' back ain't comin' back, she's gone, way gone
Well she ain't comin' back ain't comin' back, she's gone, way gone
Well she ain't comin' back ain't comin' back, she's gone, way gone
Well she ain't comin' back ain't comin' back, she's gone, way gone

No Zip Code lyrics - David Lee Murphy

We all wanna live out in the country
Way back off an old gravel road
Pick a little spot where they can't find us
No address and no zip code

I see oak trees growing in an old fence row
Barbed wire nailed to a cedar fence post
Got a little bobber dancing in the creek
And you sitting right there next to me
Long tan legs, sun shining on 'em
I know it's a dream and baby I want it
Sitting there sipping on homemade wine
Girl I can't get out of my mind

We all wanna live out in the country
Way back off an old gravel road
Pick a little spot where they can't find us
No address and no zip code

Ain't gotta make a living any way you can
You're just the kinda girl for a simple kinda man
My boss even told me yeah go ahead son
I can understand where you're coming from

We all wanna live out in the country
Way back off an old gravel road
Pick a little spot where they can't find us
No address and no zip code

We all wanna live out in the country
Way back off an old gravel road
Pick a little spot where they can't find us
No address and no zip code

We all wanna live out in the country
If it ain't heaven it sure is close
Way out here's the way we like it
No address and no zip code

Yeah we got no zip code

I Won't Be Sorry lyrics - David Lee Murphy

I won't be sittin' 'round somewhere
Talkin' 'bout everything I wish I'd done
And I won't be standing on the sidelines
Wishin' I'd had just a little more fun
And I won't be kickin' myself
For the ship that sailed without me

Someday I'm gonna look back
With a couple of scars
And a few good stories
Someday if I'm gonna go out
Then I'm gonna go out in a blaze of glory
And I won't be sorry

I wanna be holdin' that candle
With both ends burning when the flame burns out
And I wanna be slingin' that gravel
Runnin' on empty with the peddle down
And I wanna be livin' it up
Still pushing my luck with no regrets

Someday I'm gonna look back
With a couple of scars
And a few good stories
Someday if I'm gonna go out
Then I'm gonna go out in a blaze of glory
And I won't be sorry
I won't be sorry

No tears for me, no apologizes,
No wishing I'd done what they told me

Someday I'm gonna look back
With a couple of scars
And a few good stories
Someday if I'm gonna go out
Then I'm gonna go out in a blaze of glory
I won't be sorry
I won't be sorry

Haywire lyrics - David Lee Murphy

We live normal lives in a normal town
And try to make it home 'fore the sun goes down
We do everything right by the book
We know all the rules and don't have to look
And that's a good thing

It ain't hard to get stuck in the same routine
You get caught in a rut if you know what I mean
Wound too tight, gotta let it unravel
Step on the gas, sling a little gravel
Yeah, baby you and me

We're gonna go haywire
Get a little crazy maybe stay out 'til daylight
It really don't matter if people start thinking we ain't right
Baby sometimes you gotta go
Haywire

Well it's crawfish night at the Cajun Gator
We can dance barefooted on a picnic table
A little short skirt shaking your hair
A drink in one hand, baby who cares
They can't help but stare

We're gonna go haywire
Get a little crazy maybe stay out 'til daylight
It really don't matter if people start thinking we ain't right
Baby sometimes you gotta go
Haywire

We're gonna go haywire
Get a little crazy maybe stay out 'til daylight
It really don't matter if people start thinking we ain't right
Baby sometimes you gotta go
Haywire

Get a little crazy maybe stay out 'til daylight
It really don't matter if people start thinking we ain't right
Baby sometimes you gotta go
Haywire

Gotta go a little haywire

As The Crow Flies lyrics - David Lee Murphy

Straight as the crow flies
I won't be long
Straight as the crow flies
I'll be going home

Baby, I want you to know
It don't matter where you go
If there ain't one, I'll cut a road to you
Might get rocky might be rough
I'll go through or rise above
Whatever it takes to get my love to you

Straight as the crow flies
I won't be long
Straight as the crow flies
I'll be going home

Ain't no price too high to pay
In the dark of night or light of day
I'm gonna find the quickest way to you
Wind may blow, rain may fall
But that won't slow me down at all
I'll get on my knees and crawl to you

Straight as the crow flies
I won't be long
Straight as the crow flies
I'll be going home

They might put me in the ground
Ain't no devil gonna hold me down
Gonna spread my wings split that sky
If you go first, I'm right behind you

Straight as the crow flies
I won't be long
Straight as the crow flies
I'll be going home

Straight as the crow flies
I won't be long
Straight as the crow flies
I'll be going home

Winnebago lyrics - David Lee Murphy

(originally by Kenny Chesney)

Bright blue, down-filled sleeping bag
Got it rolled up and thrown in back
Pair of jeans and your hiking boots
And that cute little black swimming suit
Yeah, we can stop on the way outta town
Get what you want and ice it on down
A little getaway time is what I need
Just you and me

Why don't we hook up the old Winnebago
Baby, why don't we go
Rolling down a two-lane
Park it right, by the lake night
Catch a little moonlight
Open all the windows
You and me in the middle of nowhere
We'll build a fire
As soon as we get there

There ain't supposed to be a cloud in the sky
Gonna be all kinds of stars tonight
We'll pull the lawn chairs up real close
Make a few sparks stirring the coals
With that little trailer we can't go wrong
Even if a little bit later on
It starts to rain, we'll go inside
And rock away the night

Why don't we hook up the old Winnebago
Baby, why don't we go
Rolling down a two-lane
Park it right, by the lake night
Catch a little moonlight
Open all the windows
You and me in the middle of nowhere
We'll build a fire
As soon as we get there

We could take off for the weekend
Slow it down and do a little breathing
We'll be way outta town
Fore they'll know we're gone
It's been way too long
How bout it girl, come on

Why don't we hook up the old Winnebago
Baby, why don't we go
Rolling down a two-lane
Park it right, by the lake night
Catch a little moonlight
Open all the windows
You and me in the middle of nowhere
We'll build a fire
As soon as we get there

Why don't we hook up the old Winnebago
Why don't we hook up the old Winnebago
Why don't we, why don't we hook up the old Winnebago
Why don't we, why don't we

Get Go lyrics - David Lee Murphy

Cattails soaking in kerosene
Gonna light 'em up when the sun goes down
Lined up stuck in the ground
And the prettiest girls you've ever seen
Will be showing up in a minute now
Yeah, we ain't messin' around

We gonna get it right
Right from the get go
Got the beers all nice and ice cold
We ain't here working on a halo
Ain't gonna wait to crank it up, hell no
Ain't easing in
Let the fun begin kick it up to ten
And just let it go
Gonna do it like we just got tonight
So let's get it right from the get go

It don't make no sense sitting on a fence
When you know a good times coming on
And we're playin' all the right songs
And them pretty little country things
Don't wanna wait to start shakin' it all night long
Yeah, so what are we waiting on y'all

We gonna get it right
Right from the get go
Got the beers all nice and ice cold
We ain't here working on a halo
Ain't gonna wait to crank it up, hell no
Ain't easing in
Let the fun begin kick it up to ten
And just let it go
Gonna do it like we just got tonight
So let's get it right from the get go

Cattails soaking in kerosene
Gonna light 'em up when the sun goes down
Hey, go on light 'em up now

We gonna get it right
Right from the get go
Got the beers all nice and ice cold
We ain't here working on a halo
Ain't gonna wait to crank it up, hell no
Ain't easing in
Let the fun begin kick it up to ten
And just let it go
Gonna do it like we just got tonight
So let's get it right from the get go
Right from the get go
Right from the get go
Right from the get go
Right from the get go

That's Alright lyrics - David Lee Murphy

You might live downtown in a big high-rise
You might live in a double wide (that's alright)
Take a deep breath and thank the lord
Check your troubles at the door
We all know what we're here for
That's alright

Turn right on the red at the four way stop (that's alright)
Ain't no street lights on this blacktop (that's alright)
There's a farm gate cross the gravel road
A no trespass sign with bullet holes
Come on in make yourself at home
That's alright

It's gonna be good, it's gonna be great
It might get loud and it might go late
There's a pretty good chance it'll last all night
But that's ok, that's alright

Well, broke your glass on the kitchen floor (that's alright)
Get a plastic cup, pour you some more (that's alright)
Well it's summer time and it's just hot
We gotta cool little swimming spot
Tiki torches out on the dock
And that's alright

It's gonna be good, it's gonna be great
It might get loud and it might go late
There's a pretty good chance it'll last all night
But that's ok, that's alright

There ain't a whole lotta rules 'round her
If the beer runs out have no fear
We'll just call ol' uncle Jack
He'll bring something in a paper sack
Speakers in the truck 'bout to blow
Got it cranked up to ten point o
Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough
Granny does your dog bite no child no

It's gonna be good, it's gonna be great
It might get loud and it might go late
There's a pretty good chance it'll last all night
But that's ok, that's alright

Yeah you might live in a big high-rise (that's alright)
You might live in a double wide (that's alright)
We hang out down a gravel road (that's alright)
No trespass sign with bullet holes (that's alright)

Voice Of Reason lyrics - David Lee Murphy

There's things I do at times knowing it just don't make sense
But I just do it anyway, I don't know why it is
The voice of reason never speaks to me

I appreciate the wisdom out there blowing in the wind
But I never seem to hear it even when I'm listening
The voice of reason never speaks to me
The voice of reason never speaks to me

Why's it only good advice that I tend to refuse
Maybe I'm hard headed but I know that's no excuse
The voice of reason never speaks to me
The voice of reason never speaks to me

Yeah I've tried to free my mind but something just ain't sinking in
It's almost in a language I can't seem to understand
But I won't try to justify and blame it all on fate
Me and better judgment, we just don't communicate
The voice of reason never speaks to me

People tell me this ol' world is all cause and effect
In my case it seems like all the dots just don't connect
The voice of reason never speaks to me

Some say spontaneity is something I don't like
I've made a few decisions that I wish I could take back
The voice of reason never speaks to me
The voice of reason never speaks to me

Waylon And Willie (And A Bottle Of Jack) lyrics - David Lee Murphy

Old '67 Fleetwood sitting out in the barn
A transmission shy but we kept the battery charged
You used to come over and that's where we'd go
Climb in and play that big Ford speaker stereo

Sinking deep in the seats of that old Cadillac
Under the spell of that old 8 track
It took me to heaven [?]
With Waylon and Willie and a bottle of Jack

Sitting up on blocks in our own little world
We sit there together just you and me girl
We'd fog up the windows till we couldn't see out
Finding everything we couldn't live without

Sinking deep in the seats of that old Cadillac
Under the spell of that old 8 track
It took me to heaven [?]
With Waylon and Willie and a bottle of Jack

Sometimes I come out here
On a night like tonight
And I picture you smiling
In the dashboard lights
It feels like I'm flying
But I'm sitting still
I close my eyes
And put my hands on the wheel

Sinking deep in the seats of that old Cadillac
Under the spell of that old 8 track
It took me to heaven [?]
With Waylon and Willie and a bottle of Jack

We went to heaven, we went to Texas, yeah
We did some livin', that's a fact
With Waylon and Willie and a bottle of Jack
With Waylon and Willie and a bottle of Jack
With Waylon and Willie and a bottle of Jack

"Tryin' To Get There" (2004)

I Like It Already lyrics - David Lee Murphy

She slid across the front seat and said, "Come on baby let’s go"
She rolled down the windows and cranked up the radio
She said, "When I’m with you honey I feel defenseless"
Oh and that kinda talk can drive a man senseless
I’m just doin’ my best to keep my heart steady
I think I’m in love and I like it already

With one hand on the wheel and the other one losin’ control
I was tickin’ like a time bomb tryin’ to keep the car on the road
Yeah she had my mind in such a sweet commotion
I was gettin’ all kinds of serious notions
I’m just doin’ my best keep my heart steady
I think I’m in love and I like it already

Yeah I like it already (I like it already)
Oh I like it a lot (I like it a lot)
I like it already (I like it already)
Oh and I don’t want it to stop

Oh something real good is happenin’ to me
And I’m beginnin’ to see the possibilities
Hey from here on out the sky’s the limit
She’s got me holdin’ on from minute to minute
I’m just doin’ my best to keep my heart steady
I think I’m in love and I like it already

Yeah I like it already (I like it already)
Oh I like it a lot (I like it a lot)
I like it already (I like it already)
Oh and I don’t want it to stop

I’m just doin’ my best to keep my heart steady
I think I’m in love and I like it already
Hey I’m just doin’ my best to keep my heart steady
I think I’m in love and I like it already
Hey I’m a likin’ it
Hey I like it already
Yeah I like it already
Hey I like it already
Hey yes I do

Same Ol' Same Ol lyrics - David Lee Murphy

She was layin’ there starin’ at the ceilin’
Thinkin’ ‘bout all she didn’t wanna do today
Alarm clock finally quit ringin’
Wasn’t gettin’ no attention anyway
She’s just tired of that weddin’ ring
Yeah she’s tired of four gray walls
She’s fed up with just ‘bout everything
And that’s all hey you know that’s all

It’s the same ol’ same ol’ every night
Got to have a change of scenery
It’s the same ol’ same ol’ every night
One of these days she just might leave

Little dress hangin’ in the back of her closet
She could slip away and put it on
Long tan legs as smooth as silk
She knows what she’s thinkin’s wrong
She’s just tired of the way it is
Yeah she’s tired what she’s goin’ thru
She’s fed up with the life she’s missed
She’s feelin’ used she’s just to used to the

It’s the same ol’ same ol’ every night
Got to have a change of scenery
It’s the same ol’ same ol’ every night
One of these days she just might leave

Oh and she’s tired of his runnin’ ‘round
And she’s tired of bein’ left alone
She’s had enough of bein’ held down
While he’s on the town, she’s wantin’ out

It’s the same ol’ same ol’ every night
Got to have a change of scenery
It’s the same ol’ same ol’ every night
One of these days she just might leave

It’s the same ol’ same ol’ every night
Got to have a change of scenery
It’s the same ol’ same ol’ every night
One of these days she just might leave

Better believe me

Loco lyrics - David Lee Murphy

Little Hula girls on the shot glass.
All we need's a little salt and lime.
We can plug in the hot pepper lights and pretend,
That we're livin' on Key West time.
I can run to the store an' get some charcoal,
Buy a tikki torch an' fire up the grill.
The whole town wants to know when I'm gonna grow up,
But you know I never will.

Yeah, I might be a little bit loco,
But it keeps me from losin' my mind.
Oh, but half insane, that's ok, babe,
A little bit crazy's all right.

There's nothin' wrong with a little excitement;
No, it makes me forget about work.
'Cause I live by the rule that everything's cool,
Just as long as nobody gets hurt.
Hey, I feel like I'm on vacation.
Honey, you say the word and we'll go.
'Cause you're getting to me in those cut off jeans,
And that T-shirt from Sloppy Joe's.

Yeah, I might be a little bit loco,
But it keeps me from losin' my mind.
Oh, but half insane, that's ok, babe,
A little bit crazy's all right.

Yeah, the deep end might be so close,
Oh, that I'm hangin' on for dear life.
Yeah, I might be a little bit loco, baby,
But a little bit crazy's all right.
That's right.

Yeah, I might be a little bit loco,
But it keeps me from losin' my mind.
Oh, but half insane, that's ok, babe,
A little bit crazy's all right.

Yeah, the deep end might be so close,
Oh, that I'm hangin' on for dear life.
Yeah, I might be a little bit loco, baby,
But a little bit crazy's all right.

Yeah, I might be a little bit loco,
But it keeps me from losin' my mind.
Well, I might be a little bit loco, baby,
But, a little bit crazy's all right.
You're crazy, baby.

Might be a little bit loco, baby,
But, a little bit crazy's all right.

Own Little World lyrics - David Lee Murphy

Left her high heels sittin’ by the door
Little black dress slipped off on the floor
Wrinkled sheets on a king sized bed
Ceilin’ fan goin’ round overhead

In our own little world
With the shades pulled down
In our own little world
Where we won’t be found

Telephone ringin’ like nobody’s home
Somebody’s sellin’ something that we don’t want
Two hundred channels on a color TV
But here in this room it’s just you and me

In our own little world
With the shades pulled down
In our own little world
Where we won’t be found

It’s crazy outside life flies by
There’s only one thing that matters here tonight
You and me need to spend a little time alone

In our own little world
With the shades pulled down
In our own little world
Where we won’t be found

In our own little world
In our own little world

In our own little world
With the shades pulled down
In our own little world
Where we won’t be found


Tryin' To Get There lyrics - David Lee Murphy

Well I’ve been up on the high road
Spent some time on the low road
Seen a little bit of it all if you know what I mean
From pickup trucks to limousines
Yeah I’ve made some turns Lord that took me out of the way
Been more than a few times that I wound up in the wrong place just

Tryin’ to get there
Sometimes that ain’t easy
When you really don’t know where that is
But I’ve learned along the way
That we’re all lookin’ for the same thing
And I’m tryin’ to get there oh the best I can

Growin’ up’s been tough on me
I still don’t know what I wanna be
I hope the good Lord understands
There’s times I need a helping hand
‘Cause I’ll take the long way to find the short way round
And just like everybody I’m tryin’ to reach a higher ground but I’m

Tryin’ to get there
Sometimes that ain’t easy
When you really don’t know where that is
But I’ve learned along the way
That we’re all lookin’ for the same thing
And I’m tryin’ to get there oh the best I can

Tryin’ to get there
Sometimes that ain’t easy
When you really don’t know where that is
But I’ve learned along the way
That we’re all lookin’ for the same thing
And I’m tryin’ to get there oh the best I can

Yeah I’ve made some turns Lord that took me out of the way
Been more than a few times that I wound up in the wrong place just

Tryin’ to get there
Sometimes that ain’t easy
When you really don’t know where that is
But I’ve learned along the way
That we’re all lookin’ for the same thing
And I’m tryin’ to get there oh the best I can

Inspiration lyrics - David Lee Murphy

I feel like I’m standin’ on a mountaintop
Baby when I hold your hand
Well that’s where I am
This feelin’ rises up inside of me
Oh it’s like a gentle wind
Breathin’ life into me again
Whatever I thought I ever wanted before
When I look in your eyes
You make me believe that
There’s just so much more

Baby you’re my inspiration
You lift me to a higher place
You’re the one sweet dream
I can keep my faith in
You’re the light that shines in me
My hopes my destiny
Oh you’ll always be
My inspiration

Sometimes when I look at you
Thoughts start fillin’ my head
It's like a melody that comes along
And I’m singin’ it all day long
Just seein’ you smile brings out the best in me
When I’ve gone as far as I can go
You stir something down deep in my soul
Nothin’ else on earth can make me feel like you
Oh with you in my life I gotta reason
For everything that I do

Baby you’re my inspiration
You lift me to a higher place
You’re the one sweet dream
I can keep my faith in
You’re the light that shines in me
My hopes my destiny
Oh you’ll always be
My inspiration

Baby you’re my inspiration
You lift me to a higher place
You’re the one sweet dream
I can keep my faith in
You’re the light that shines in me
My hopes my destiny
Oh you’ll always be
My inspiration

Ghost In The Jukebox lyrics - David Lee Murphy

It’s either Charlie Rich or Bill Monroe
But it might be Hank or Elvis friend I really don’t know
The young news reporter frowned as he turned and walked out
But all the regulars knew what he was askin' about
Strange things happen here when it's late at night
When we pull down the shades and we turn out the lights

There's a ghost in the jukebox
And it don’t come out ‘til everybody goes home
There's a ghost in the jukebox
He ain't doin' no harm so just leave him alone

There's just a few of us who know the truth
Who've seen it jump and light up from that back corner booth
On those nights we'd pull the plug when the crowd was gone
Just to hear those golden old hillbilly songs
Seems like he knows that he's among friends
He ain’t made it to heaven and we understand

There's a ghost in the jukebox
And it don’t come out ‘til everybody goes home
There's a ghost in the jukebox
He ain't doin' no harm so just leave him alone

Might be the last place that he's got to go
But he’s still hangin' onto that last drop of soul

She Always Said lyrics - David Lee Murphy

She left town with the guitar man
From the Delta Outlaws hillbilly band
They played the Elks and the Eagles club
The VFW and the Holiday Inn
No matter what big stories he told her
This little town was too small to hold her

She always said she had to get out of here
Had to get outta this place
She always had her heart set on Hollywood
Heaven knows she had the face
There wasn’t nothin’ that she couldn’t do
Once she got the thought in her head
I’m here ‘til I’m gone
And that’s what she always said

Well she left him with a heart broke grin
On a first class flight outta New Orleans
Her plane disappeared as he was wavin’ goodbye
He could only imagine she was wavin’ at him
But he’s not the first and he won’t be the last
She would’ve told him but he didn’t ask

She always said she had to get out of here
Had to get outta this place
She always had her heart set on Hollywood
Heaven knows she had the face
There wasn’t nothin’ that she couldn’t do
Once she got the thought in her head
I’m here ‘til I’m gone
And that’s what she always said

She ain’t the kind to let herself
Be tied down to anything
I know I didn’t wanna listen
Anytime she started talkin’ that way

She always said she had to get out of here
Had to get outta this place
She always had her heart set on Hollywood
Heaven knows she had the face
There wasn’t nothin’ that she couldn’t do
Once she got the thought in her head
I’m here ‘til I’m gone
And that’s what she always said

Mama's Last lyrics - David Lee Murphy

Well I never knew my daddy
But everybody says my brother looks like him
And my brother he’s in prison
And I doubt he’ll be gettin’ out again
But I watch it from the cradle
Though mama tried to hide the truth from me
She did all that she was able
And Lord I guess the rest is history

But we all know nobody’s perfect
And mama prayed I’d turn out differently
And she tried to raise me better
‘Cause I was the baby of the family
Oh well I know she’d never say it
But we all make mistakes and that’s a fact
And I know I’m not the first but I guess
I was Mama’s last

Mama had to work the factory
She had too much pride to take a helpin’ hand
But she read the Bible
So I got no excuse for what I am
When they’d pass the plate on Sunday
I know it’d break her heart if she knew now
While she was puttin’ in her quarters
I was reaching in and taking dollars out

But we all know nobody’s perfect
And mama prayed I’d turn out differently
And she tried to raise me better
‘Cause I was the baby of the family
Oh well I know she’d never say it
But we all make mistakes and that’s a fact
And I know I’m not the first but I guess
I was Mama’s last

But we all know nobody’s perfect
And mama prayed I’d turn out differently
And she tried to raise me better
‘Cause I was the baby of the family
Oh well I know she’d never say it
But we all make mistakes and that’s a fact
And I know I’m not the first but I guess
I was Mama’s last

No I’m not the first mistake that she ever made
But I was mama’s last

Beggin' For Affection lyrics - David Lee Murphy

Well she's just not the kind
To sit home on a Friday night
With big teardrops rollin' down her cheeks
Sittin' there all alone
Waitin' by the telephone
Prayin' it’s gonna ring

Well she won’t be beggin' for affection
She won’t have to look too far for sympathy
No she won’t be beggin' for affection
There’s gonna be someone to give her all the love she needs

I can almost see it now
Hearts breakin’ all over town
She was born for the world to appreciate
She deserves to be held and kissed
Like the woman she really is
If she decides to leave it’ll be too late

Well she won’t be beggin' for affection
She won’t have to look too far for sympathy
No she won’t be beggin' for affection
There’s gonna be someone to give her all the love she needs

‘Cause I’ll be right here to give her all the love she needs

Might Be Me lyrics - David Lee Murphy

I’ve always looked at you from a distance
As something I could never have
And I’ve realized my way of existence
Could one day be what holds you back
And lookin’ in your eyes
Can make me smile and still feel sad
‘Cause you’ve got one big bright shinin’ future
Baby I can’t give you that

‘Cause I’m a dead ender, big spender
I’ve been known to get on a bender
Yeah that might be me
But I’ll always be in love with you
And I’m a high flier, live wire
Tight rope walker and a rainbow rider
Yeah that might be me
But I’ll always be in love with you
I’ll always be in love with you

I might drift down to someplace warm
And find a hideaway do the island thing
I’ve always wanted my own private ocean
To sit beside and float my dreams
Maybe someday I’ll find that secret
The whole world’s lookin’ for
Girl if I had you there ain’t nothin’ anywhere
That I’d want anymore

‘Cause I’m a dead ender, big spender
I’ve been known to get on a bender
Yeah that might be me
But I’ll always be in love with you
And I’m a high flier, live wire
Tight rope walker and a rainbow rider
Yeah that might be me
But I’ll always be in love with you
I’ll always be in love with you

And lookin’ in your eyes
Can make me smile and still feel sad
‘Cause you’ve got one big bright shinin’ future
Baby I can’t give you that

‘Cause I’m a dead ender, big spender
I’ve been known to get on a bender
Yeah that might be me
But I’ll always be in love with you
And I’m a high flier, live wire
Tight rope walker and a rainbow rider
Yeah that might be me
But I’ll always be in love with you
I’ll always be in love with you

Killin' The Pain lyrics - David Lee Murphy

Heartaches come and heartaches go
Sometimes they’re fast sometimes they’re slow
Some hang around they don't wanna leave
Oh but killin' the pain just comes easy for me

Like mile marker signs down a dead end road
Sometimes I forget how far I've gone
But when it's all a blur it's as clear as can be
Killin' the pain just comes easy for me

No it ain't that hard for somebody like me
To wind up in all the wrong company
I don't even mind a little misery
When I can't feel a thing

It might look hard but it really ain't
All I need is a town to paint
Yeah I was born with a gift it comes naturally
Killin’ the pain just comes easy for me

No it ain't that hard for somebody like me
To wind up in all the wrong company
I don't even mind a little misery
When I can't feel a thing

So when life comes along and puts a hurtin' on you
And you’re out doin' what we all gotta do
Just tell yourself it ain't as bad as it seems
Killin' the pain just comes easy for me

No it ain't that hard for somebody like me
To wind up in all the wrong company
I don't even mind a little misery
When I can't feel a thing

"We Can't All Be Angels" (1997)

She Don't Try (To Make Me Love Her) lyrics - David Lee Murphy

She called me up last evenin'
She said come on by
When I got there she was leavin'
And I was right on time
She said I'm sorry hon' but I can't stay
I've had a change of plans
When I get home it might be late
I hope you'll understand

She don't try to make me love her
She don't try to make me love her but I do
No she don't try to make me love her
She don't try to make me love her but I do

I'm always bringin' her flowers
And she don't say a word
I tell her how I feel about her
It's like she never heard
I get the feelin' she avoiding me
Oh but just the same
If she ever started spoilin'me
It wouldn't change a thing

She don't try to make me love her
She don't try to make me love her but I do
No she don't try to make me love her
She don't try to make me love her but I do

She don't try to make me love her
She don't try to make me love her but I do
No she don't try to make me love her
She don't try to make me love her but I do


Just Don't Wait Around 'Til She's Leavin' lyrics - David Lee Murphy

Lookin' at the bare spot on the bedroom wall
Brought home the honest truth to me
The picture hangin' there was just another treasure
I had lost so foolishly
It took all this to realize the talks we had
Meant she was tired of playin'
And now I see she needed more
Of what I wasn't doin' or sayin'

So just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'
To show her just how much she really means
Just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'
To give the kind of love a lady needs

Promises don't push aside
The fact that I had taken her for granted
Just a touch to let her know how much I really cared
Was all she wanted
But it's too late to change her mind
When you're just a memory behind her

So take her in your arms and make her see
She's the one you'll want forever

So just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'
To show her just how much she really means
Just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'
To give the kind of love a lady needs

Hold her
And she'll be satisfied
She needs
Lovin' all the time

So just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'
To show her just how much she really means
Just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'
To give the kind of love a lady needs

So just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'
To show her just how much she really means
Just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'
To give the kind of love a lady needs

So just don't wait around 'til she's leavin'


We Can't All Be Angels lyrics - David Lee Murphy

Late nights and smokey ole pool rooms
Bars closin' down at three
And I'm right here in the middle of it all
With the bad company
Well maybe you don't understand it
Oh and we might never agree
But I'm past the point of making excuses
That's what I am and I guess the truth is

We can't all be angels
Naw naw naw
I can't say that
I claim to be much of a
Saint after all
But I can tell you it ain't so bad
Once you've learned how to fall

Flyin' down these ole backroads
Is when I feel at my best
When I've twisted all the rules that'll bend
And broken all the rest
Now I'll never try to change you
Oh and I'd never do you no wrong

We can't all be angels
Naw naw naw
I can't say that
I claim to be much of a
Saint after all
But I can tell you it ain't so bad
Once you've learned how to fall

There's alot to be said for good clean livin'
And if I have to sneak through the back door to heaven

We can't all be angels
Naw naw naw
I can't say that
I claim to be much of a
Saint after all
But I can tell you it ain't so bad
Once you've learned how to fall

Bringin' Her Back lyrics - David Lee Murphy

Check the ol buddy filler' up with ethyl
'Cause I got a long drive in sight
My baby just left me for a pool shootin' fella
And I'm gonna bring her back tonight
Aw he don't really need her and I know he's gonna feed her full
Of promises he can't keep
But I'm the one to blame
'Cause I been drivin' her insane
By staying out six nights a week
So buddy check the tires I'll leave the engine runnin'
'Cause I can't waste no more time
I got sixty-three miles of two lane before I even
Cross that Tennessee line
I know my baby needs me and I hope that when she sees me
That she's gonna wanna come back home
I let her slip away and that's the price you gotta pay
But I ain't leavin' there alone

I'm bringin' her back
Bringin' my baby back home
Bringin' her back
Bringin' my baby back home

So buddy take a ten don't worry 'bout the windows
I can see enough to get me by
Forget about the change I don't need the money
She's the only thing on my mind
Aw heads will be a spinnin' when I cross the city limits
Cause she's been away from me too long
So when the sherriff's askin' if you've seen my car a passin'
You can tell him just where I've gone

I'm bringin' her back
Bringin' my baby back home
Bringin' her back
Bringin' my baby back home

I know my baby needs me and I hope that when she sees me
That she's gonna wanna come back home
I let her slip away and that's the price you gotta pay
But I ain't leavin' there alone

I'm bringin' her back
Bringin' my baby back home
Bringin' her back
Bringin' my baby back home

I'm bringin' her back
Bringin' my baby back home
Bringin' her back
Bringin' my baby back home

Kentucky Girl lyrics - David Lee Murphy

Underneath the big blue moon
Everything looks lonely
Even that sweet smile upon your face
Leavin' past tobacco rows
Down that ole dirt road
Can't remember when I felt this way

What did you do
Kentucky girl
You got me wantin' more
Than I wanted to
What did you do
Kentucky girl

I knew we'd have to say goodbye
And here we are together
Takin' one last look before I go
When I saw those big brown eyes
My heart said forever
Never heard it talk like this before

What did you do
Kentucky girl
You got me wantin' more
Than I wanted to
What did you do
Kentucky girl

Well if I go away
And leave you behind
When I come back someday
Would you still be mine

What did you do
Kentucky girl
You got me wantin' more
Than I wanted to
What did you do
Kentucky girl

That's Behind Me lyrics - David Lee Murphy

Said goodbye in Tennessee
I dried her tears and I ran free
Had the whole wide world to see
But that's behind me
Took a while 'til I found
Her sweet love I couldn't live without
Now every time I turn around
That's behind me

Yeah that's behind me
When I close the door
And try to face another night alone
It taps me on the shoulder
Just about the time my eyes begin too close
That's behind me

From the pages of my past
That ole ghost keeps, coming back
No matter where I run no matter how fast
That's behind me
Look for love and see her face
Another town another place
Though I'm a thousand miles away
That's behind me

Yeah that's behind me
When I close the door
And try to face another night alone
It taps me on the shoulder
Just about the time my eyes begin too close
That's behind me

Yeah that's behind me
When I close the door
And try to face another night alone
It taps me on the shoulder
Just about the time my eyes begin too close
That's behind me

I Could Believe Anything lyrics - David Lee Murphy

A little white house
On the edge of town
A shady front porch
A few acres of ground
A big brass bed
Big enough for two
Where every night
I'm dreamin' 'bout you

Maybe it's the truth
Maybe it's my imagination
All I know is what my heart's sayin'
About me and you
That you're one in a lifetime honey
Like nothin' I've ever seen
And when I'm lookin' into your eyes
I could believe anything

Never back up
Never turn round
I was never the kind
For settlin' down
And when I'm in your arms
It's where I wanna be
That little voice
Starts talkin' to me

Maybe it's the truth
Maybe it's my imagination
All I know is what my heart's sayin
About me and you
That you're one in a lifetime honey
Like nothin' I've ever seen
And when I'm lookin' into your eyes
I could believe anything

Maybe it's the truth
Maybe it's my imagination
All I know is what my heart's sayin'
About me and you
That you're one in a lifetime honey
Like nothin' I've ever seen
And when I'm lookin' into your eyes
I could believe anything

All Lit Up In Love lyrics - David Lee Murphy

When I saw you comin' honey
I could tell
Life's really been treatin' you well
There's a change
A burnin'bright
I'm seeing you in a different light

'Cause you're
All lit up in love
Like the lights of heaven above
I've never seen you look so good
All lit up in love

You never told me honey
I was blind
You never said I'd wake up and find
That somebody'd come and
Take my place
But it's written all over your face

'Cause you're
All lit up in love
Like the lights of heaven above
I've never seen you look so good
All lit up in love

Wish I'd been the one to put that sparkle in your eyes
To see that glow about you girl,it's a look I recognize

'Cause you're
All lit up in love
Like the lights of heaven above
I've never seen you look so good
All lit up in love
'Cause you're
All lit up in love
Like the lights of heaven above
I've never seen you look so good
All lit up in love

Almost Like Being There lyrics - David Lee Murphy

I can't count the times
And all those lonely motel nights
I've stared at four gray walls
The miles don't seem as far
Cause in my mind your in my arms
I hear your voice
And all my dreams come true

And girl is almost like being there
I close my eyes and you appear
I could swear you're right there in the room
You come to me like you always do
A sweet dream I surrender to
It's almost like being there with you

It goes straight to my heart
The way you whisper in the dark
Like only you can do
When we're alone
And in that big ole bedto
The words keep ringin in my head
Girl even
After we hang up the phone

And girl is almost like being there
I close my eyes and you appear
I could swear you're right there in the room
You come to me like you always do
A sweet dream I surrender to
It's almost like being there with you

Velvet Lies lyrics - David Lee Murphy

You give to me
A kiss and a whisper
My love is all you'll ever want
And I've told myself
I shouldn't listen
'Cause some words are said and then they're gone

And those velvet lies
On your lips tonight
Would be so easy to believe in

And I know this time
That my hands are tied
With those velvet lies
So soft and warm
Well I can't help thinking
It could always be like this
But I know the truth
Is somewhere waiting

And you know I can't resist
And those velvet lies
On your lips tonight
Would be so easy to believe in
And I know this time
That my hands are tied
With those velvet lies

And those velvet lies
On your lips tonight
Would be so easy to believe in
And I know this time
That my hands are tied
With those velvet lies

She's Not Mine lyrics - David Lee Murphy

I try to remember when we walk in the room
And she takes my hand
That crowds gonna stir
When they take one look at her
And be thinkin I'm a lucky man
And it could be so easy for me to believe
Cause I know there's nobody else
When I look in those eyes
And I see her smile
I've gotta keep telling myself

She's not mine
Lord knows I wish she was
She's not mine and
I'm not the lucky one
Wish I could say
That she was my baby
But she's not mine

Now I understand that a woman like that
Is never easy to keep
Oh there ain't no question
She's no man's possession
Unless she wants to be
So think what you want when she's on my arm
Cause it sure is rough on me
No matter how good feels
Or how it appears to
She don't belong to me

She's not mine
Lord knows I wish she was
She's not mine and
I'm not the lucky one
Wish I could say
That she was my baby
But she's not mine
In my dreams I know the way it feels
But Lord I can't forget it's not real
She's not mine

She's not mine
Lord knows I wish she was
She's not mine and
I'm not the lucky one
Wish I could say
That she was my baby
But she's not mine

"Gettin' Out The Good Stuff" (1996)

Every Time I Get Around You lyrics - David Lee Murphy

Well I can feel those wheels start turin' 'round honey
When ya walk into the room
The rest of the world fades right off into the blue
Yeah I'm off of the ground up in the clouds
Not sure which one I'm on
And I couldn't tell you what day it is baby
Not when your in my arms 'cause honey

I forget about everything every time I get around you
Girl it's like I got a one track mind all I wanna do
Is stare into those big brown eyes
It's almost like I'm hypnotized
Every time every time I get around you

You'd think by now I'd learned somehow
To keep under control
But girl you're the kind that makes man just wanna let go
I don't care about nothin' but your sweet lovin'
When you look at me that way
And sometimes when I'm holdin' you tight
I can't remember my name 'cause honey

I forget about everything every time I get around you
Girl it's like I got a one track mind all I wanna do
Is stare into those big brown eyes
It's almost like I'm hypnotized
Every time every time I get around you

I forget about everything every time I get around you
Girl it's like I got a one track mind all I wanna do
Is stare into those big brown eyes
It's almost like I'm hypnotized
Every time every time I get around you

The Road You Leave Behind lyrics - David Lee Murphy

I remember the night my dad stopped the car
And got out in the rain
Changed a blown out tire on a car
For a family with out of state plates
I said dad did we know those folks
As they waved and drove out of sight
He just smiled as he started the car
He said son not 'til tonight

You see the road you leave behind you
Is another road you're gonna have to come back down
It's just the way this big old world turns 'round
You'll find somehow somewhere someplace sometime
You gotta go back down the road you leave behind

Stuck out on the highway one night
Many years gone by
Had the hood of my truck pulled up
My ol' gas tank was dry
Some ol' guy gettin' off on the night shift
Pulled up to check on me
He said I been in your shoes before son
And it's no place to be

You see the road you leave behind you
Is another road you're gonna have to come back down
It's just the way this big old world turns 'round
You'll find somehow somewhere someplace sometime
You gotta go back down the road you leave behind

I said what do I owe you friend you could easily passed me by
He said next time it might be me son you don't me a dime

You see the road you leave behind you
Is another road you're gonna have to come back down
It's just the way this big old world turns 'round
You'll find somehow somewhere someplace sometime
You gotta go back down the road you leave behind

She's Really Something To See lyrics - David Lee Murphy

She sat on the front porch and pulled on her boots
In her favorite old faded blue jeans
And one tail waggin' puppy climbed up into her arms
And I could tell he felt just like me
No matter where she goes he's never too far behind
When she steps out into that morning light

She really something to see
My dream comes alive
When I open my eyes
And I still go weak in the knees
She's too good to believe
And I can tell you that she's
Really something to see

I've seen her in moonlight on soft summer nights
With ten thousand stars in the sky
And in a room full of candles like an angel in white
While the heavens rumbled outside
No matter where she goes I'm never too far behind
When she steps out into that morning light

She really something to see
My dream comes alive
When I open my eyes
And I still go weak in the knees
She's too good to believe
And I can tell you that she's
Really something to see

It's like that movie you've seen time after time
Where you always find something you've missed
Well I could sit here right now and just watch her for hours
'Cause I know my world has been blessed

She really something to see
My dream comes alive
When I open my eyes
And I still go weak in the knees
She's too good to believe
And I can tell you that she's
Really something to see

Genuine Rednecks lyrics - David Lee Murphy

Well I know my place and I'm not ashamed to say it
No darlin' it even makes me proud
If there's one place I know where I'm never alone
It's where I feel most at home

It's in a room full of real live genuine rednecks
Bonafide backwood misfits
Goodtimin' hillbilly lunatics
With cold beer and jukebox music
I don't like crowds but this one's mine
'Cause everybody here is genuine redneck

Well darlin' right or wrong where I do belong
It don't come with a crystal chandelier
I'd have to go out on a limb to say I fit in
With all the social high class atmosphere
Why we could slip out the back door and find my pickup truck
Darlin' I'm just wishin' I was in the middle of

A room full of real live genuine rednecks
Bonafide backwood misfits
Goodtimin' hillbilly lunatics
With cold beer and jukebox music
I don't like crowds but this one's mine
'Cause everybody here is genuine redneck

Now there may be those who look down their nose
At the company I keep
Oh but just to let you know as good people go
If you don't like them you won't like me
You might find the front door propped open wide
But you'll know you've been somewhere been inside

A room full of real live genuine rednecks
Bonafide backwood misfits
Goodtimin' hillbilly lunatics
With cold beer and jukebox music
I don't like crowds but this one's mine
'Cause everybody here is genuine redneck

Good time bonafide real live genuine full blooded redneck

100 Years Too Late lyrics - David Lee Murphy

When the sun is dawnin' and he's just gettin' up
Starin' out over the mornin' through the steam off his coffee cup
He thinks about a woman whose love he still holds dear
A sweetheart he kept hangin' on for way too many years
It could've been so different with a family and a wife
But he was crossed between his feelings and that Oklahoma sky

Another time and in another place
He might have rode with Jesse James
And though he rides he can't out run his fate
'Cause he was born 100 years too late

It's hard to imagine another world out there
As he alys beside a campfire up in only God knows where
But he feels the day approachin' when the kind of life he's known
Will only be in stories and sung about in songs

Another time and in another place
He might have rode with Jesse James
And though he rides he can't out run his fate
'Cause he was born 100 years too late

And he wouldn't trade one sleepless night beneath the pourin' rain
If he had it all to do over again he wouldn't change a thing

Another time and in another place
He might have rode with Jesse James
And though he rides he can't out run his fate
'Cause he was born 100 years too late

Born That Way lyrics - David Lee Murphy

Came out swingin' and a kickin' with my heels dug in
Puttin' up a fight like they ain't seen since
The doctor held me up looked me in the face
Said he didn't have to slap me but he did it anyway

I don't know why
Just born that way
No I don't know why
Just born that way

No I never had nothin' and I know I never will
All my daddy left me was a funeral bill
If something's too easy something's wrong I know
'Cause I was born the gift of a hard way to go

I don't know why
Just born that way
No I don't know why
Just born that way

You know all in all it ain't such a bad lot
You learn to live with what little you got
Never had a job that didn't stink
Never really cared what anybody thinks

I don't know why
Just born that way
No I don't know why
Just born that way

Breakfast In Birmingham lyrics - David Lee Murphy

She was still on my mind when I crossed the state line
Walked out a little too fast
I said some things that I didn't mean
And I should have taken 'em back
And I knew when I said 'em that voice in my head whispered
Man when are you gonna learn
You told her goodbye you left with your pride
But you're gonna eat those words

And now I'm havin' breakfast in Birmingham
Tryin' to swallow my pride
I got a plate full of memories
And not much appetite
There ain't nothin' like a cold cup of coffee and a stale apology
I'm having breakfast in Birmingham
She's in Tennessee

It's a thunderin' sound silver droppin' down
In an ol' pay phone
When you're makin' that call to say you were wrong
And it's ringin' like nobody's home
She's not the kind who'll cry and remind me
That I left and broke her heart
I'm prayin' she answer 'cause I gotta tell her
This time I went too far

And now I'm havin' breakfast in Birmingham
Tryin' to swallow my pride
I got a plate full of memories
And not much appetite
There ain't nothin' like a cold cup of coffee and a stale apology
I'm having breakfast in Birmingham
She's in Tennessee

Gettin' Out The Good Stuff lyrics - David Lee Murphy

Hobo Jim was tendin' the fire
He said tonight boys we got a feast
Got a fresh stole hen and half pint of gin
And a big can of blackeyed peas
Said it ain't no joke that hickory smoke
Can work up an appetite
He said roll up your sleeves and don't wait for me
Boys we're gonna do it up right

We're gettin' out the good stuff tonight
Yeah we're windin' it up and lettin' it go
Just the good stuff tonight
Yeah there ain't no place like home sweet home

Got the moon and the stars and some quarter cigars
Boys it don't get better than that
Got a big pile of wood and it sure feels good
To just kick back and relax
He learnin' to treasure the simpler pleasures
It comes real easy for me
As a matter of fact life by the tracks
It's kinda hard to beat

We're gettin' out the good stuff tonight
Yeah we're windin' it up and lettin' it go
Just the good stuff tonight
Yeah there ain't no place like home sweet home

In the scheme of things you don't wanna save it too long
'Cause you can't take it with you when you're gone

We're gettin' out the good stuff tonight
Yeah we're windin' it up and lettin' it go
Just the good stuff tonight
Yeah there ain't no place like home sweet home

We're gettin' out the good stuff tonight
Yeah we're windin' it up and lettin' it go
Just the good stuff tonight
Yeah there ain't no place like home sweet home

I've Been A Rebel (And It Don't Pay) lyrics - David Lee Murphy

Well dad said son don't you be a fool
Stay away from that old brown mule
He's mean as a snake and twice as quick
Oh but always that kind that had to be shown
I couldn't listen I couldn't be told
Even way back then I had to get my kicks

Yeah I been a rebel and it don't pay
There ain't no future in livin' this way
It ain't worth the trouble and I've tried to change
Yeah I done it the hard way all my life
It's cost me plenty too many times
I been a rebel and it don't pay

If there's a bump in the road well I hit 'em all
You don't really learn 'til you hit a brick wall
Back up and say man I could'a gone around that
Yeah sometimes I wish I could just go along
But that hard headed streak's just a little too long
Gettin' first hand knowledge and goin' nowhere fast

Yeah I been a rebel and it don't pay
There ain't no future in livin' this way
It ain't worth the trouble and I've tried to change
Yeah I done it the hard way all my life
It's cost me plenty too many times
I been a rebel and it don't pay

Yeah I been a rebel and it don't pay
There ain't no future in livin' this way
It ain't worth the trouble and I've tried to change
Yeah I done it the hard way all my life
It's cost me plenty too many times
I been a rebel and it don't pay


Pirate's Cove lyrics - David Lee Murphy

The lake at night is still and black
The water's smooth like polished glass
You've heard the tales so it's time to go
Gonna take you back into pirates cove

Got a sure ol' horse Evinrude
And a 12 foot jon boat to carry the brew
A couple of steaks and a big ol' knife
My old ghost is comin' back to life

You could say I know the way by heart
Through the stumps and in the dark
There's one way in and that's by boat
That'll get you back into pirates cove

A trail of smoke curls though the trees
Fire down low and there ain't no breeze
Just the cottonmouths and the copperheads
And for some strange reason I fit in

You could say I know the way by heart
Through the stumps and in the dark
There's one way in and that's by boat
That'll get you back into pirates cove

Well it's a different world when you get back here
The dancin' shadows disappear
The memories they'll come and go
Someday I'll stay in pirates cove

You could say I know the way by heart
Through the stumps and in the dark
There's one way in and that's by boat
That'll get you back into pirates cove

You could say I know the way by heart
Through the stumps and in the dark
There's one way in and that's by boat
That'll get you back into pirates cove

"Out With A Bang" (1994)




Can't Turn It Off lyrics - David Lee Murphy

On a lonesome highway it was gettin' late
Not another set of headlights on the interstate
I was miles from nowhere my only friend around
Was a country station fadin' in and out

And the road went on and on
But it just kept hangin' on
I can live with the static Lord but
I can't turn it off
It might not be clear and strong
And sometimes it's here and gone
Long as it keeps comin' back
I can't turn it off

I was feelin' kinda desperate as the sun came up
They played "Hello Darlin'" and it was breakin' up
The signal on that lighted dial was barely comin' through
And I knew in a few more miles it'd be gone for good

And the road went on and on
But it just kept hangin' on
I can live with the static Lord but
I can't turn it off
It might not be clear and strong
And sometimes it's here and gone
Long as it keeps comin' back
I can't turn it off

Be a long ol lonely ride without it
When I can't hear enough
Oh I just turn it up

And the road went on and on
But it just kept hangin' on
I can live with the static Lord but
I can't turn it off
It might not be clear and strong
And sometimes it's here and gone
Long as it keeps comin' back
I can't turn it off

Party Crowd lyrics - David Lee Murphy

She couldn't keep from cryin' when she told me goodbye
I knew Lord it was breakin' her heart, and she was breakin' mine
So for the sake of her feelings and the sake of my pride
I told her not to worry 'bout me
So I'm sittin' here soakin' up the neon lights
Misery looking for some company

Tonight I'm lookin' for a party crowd
Slammin' 'em back and laughing out loud
Where the smoke's so thick the blues can't hang around
With the jukebox a jumpin' like it just don't care
If they're dancin' over here or fightin' over there
I'm makin' the rounds, looking for a party crowd

It'll dawn on me tomorrow wherever I wake up
I'll look back and try to recall just where the heck's my truck
So take my keys and lock em up tight, let the good times flow
I'll worry bout tomorrow when it comes to light
The night's still young and I'm on a roll

Tonight I'm lookin' for a party crowd
Slammin' 'em back and laughing out loud
Where the smoke's so thick the blues can't hang around
With the jukebox a jumpin' like it just don't care
If they're dancin' over here or fightin' over there
I'm makin' the rounds, looking for a party crowd

Tonight I'm lookin' for a party crowd
Slammin' 'em back and laughing out loud
Where the smoke's so thick the blues can't hang around
With the jukebox a jumpin' like it just don't care
If they're dancin' over here or fightin' over there
I'm makin' the rounds, looking for a party crowd

Tonight I'm lookin' for a party crowd
Slammin' 'em back and laughing out loud
Where the smoke's so thick the blues can't hang around
With the jukebox a jumpin' like it just don't care
If they're dancin' over here or fightin' over there
I'm makin' the rounds, looking for a party crowd

Mama 'N Them lyrics - David Lee Murphy

Well there's a rusty ol tin roof overhead
Keeps out the rain at night
A lazy ol dog layin' under the truck
And he's been known to bite
There's a 12 gauge shotgun over the door
So darlin' don't be surprised
If we end up starin' down a double barrel
When we pull up the drive 'cause

Mama 'n them have always lived
Way back up in the hills
Nothin's ever changed 'em
Lord nothin' ever will
If they don't shoot us first they'll ask us in
And treat you just like long lost kin
Honey you're gonna fit right in
With mama 'n them

Better honk the horn just to let 'em know
They don't get much company
And they won't believe this big cadillac
Really belongs to me
If you ain't sure yet just what to expect
From my side of the family
Well you better duck to know it's us
I can't make no guarantees 'cause

Mama 'n them have always lived
Way back up in the hills
Nothin's ever changed 'em
Lord nothin' ever will
If they don't shoot us first they'll ask us in
And treat you just like long lost kin
Honey you're gonna fit right in
With mama 'n them

High Weeds And Rust lyrics - David Lee Murphy

There's a shutter hangin' from a window pane
The paint's 'a crackin' from the sun and the rain
I just quit carin' 'cause I'm all alone
My woman left me in a broken home with

High weeds and rust
Up around my truck
With a broken heart
In an inch of dust
Well I've seen it all
Boom turn to bust
And I'm bout to drown
In high weeds and rust

Well there's a tractor sittin' in an empty field
I swore I wouldn't do nothin' 'til my heart had healed
My friends say son get her off your mind
But when the bank comes lookin' for me all they'll find is

High weeds and rust
Up around my truck
With a broken heart
In an inch of dust
Well I've seen it all
Boom turn to bust
And I'm bout to drown
In high weeds and rust

Well black birds sittin' on the telephone line
Watchin' me layin' around wastin' time
Never thought I could sink so low
I can't believe I just let it go to

High weeds and rust
Up around my truck
With a broken heart
In an inch of dust
Well I've seen it all
Boom turn to bust
And I'm bout to drown

Fish Ain't Bitin' lyrics - David Lee Murphy

Sally Cantrell worked behind the bar
Had a wavin' rebel flag tattooed on her arm
She called everybody honey
That came walkin' through her door

She was known for puttin' things just the way they were
She called 'em like she saw 'em without smoothin' fur
When it comes to woman torubles
Nobody said it better than her no sir

If the fish ain't bitin'
If the fish ain't bitin'
Well now don't go gettin' shook
Honey take a look
What kinda bait you got on the hook

With that low smokey voice I can she her Lord
Breakin' up fights over Chevys and Fords
With that motherly broomstick logic
No man can ignore

But on the subject of love she gave good advice
And everybody listened without thinkin' twice
And she swore when she said it
Without blinkin' an eye oh my

If the fish ain't bitin'
If the fish ain't bitin'
Well now don't go gettin' shook
Honey take a look
What kinda bait you got on the hook

So if you're down on your luck and all you can say is
You should've seen the one I let get away
Well maybe all you need is a change in your strategy yes indeed

If the fish ain't bitin'
If the fish ain't bitin'
Well now don't go gettin' shook
Honey take a look
What kinda bait you got on the hook

Out With A Bang lyrics - David Lee Murphy

I just dropped five dollars in a jukebox baby
Ain't a soul on the old dance floor
If you're gonna run with the big dogs hon
You gotta get off the porch
You can sit there all night uptight honey
But a good time's something I know
You gotta get the jump while the night is young
And there's just one way to go

Out with a bang kickin' up dust
Honey tonight I'm all wound up
Over the fence and off of my chain
Honey tonight I'm hurricane
Out with a bang

You know some folks say I'll never see Heaven
If I don't change the road I'm on
But me I know just where I'm goin'
I don't have to be told
The say livin' fast just won't last
But that don't bother me
'Cause when it comes my time to go
I won't go easily

Out with a bang kickin' up dust
Honey tonight I'm all wound up
Over the fence and off of my chain
Honey tonight I'm hurricane
Out with a bang

Everybody wants good time
We all have the time
So if you're comin' with me now darlin'
You better hold on tight

Out with a bang kickin' up dust
Honey tonight I'm all wound up
Over the fence and off of my chain
Honey tonight I'm hurricane
Out with a bang

Greatest Show On Earth lyrics - David Lee Murphy

I've watched her close her eyes
When she kissed me
And I've heard her moan so low
And I've felt her hold me tight
With all her soul inside
In ways a woman only knows

You won't see one like her
In this whole world
She's given me some memories
A lifetimes worth
If she didn't love me
You can take my word
She put on the greatest show on earth

Lookin' back I can't believe
I couldn't see she needed me
But like a fool I let it end
And it should have been so clear
When I wiped away those tears
There's just some things you can't pretend

You won't see one like her
In this whole world
She's given me some memories
A lifetimes worth
If she didn't love me
You can take my word
She put on the greatest show on earth

Maybe I just saved myself
The pain and all the heartache
Of bein' just another face in the crowd
She made it look so real Lord
It came to her so easy
It's one thing that I'll never doubt

You won't see one like her
In this whole world
She's given me some memories
A lifetimes worth
If she didn't love me
You can take my word
She put on the greatest show on earth

Dust On The Bottle lyrics - David Lee Murphy

Creole Williams lived down a dirt road
Made homemade wine like nobody I know
Dropped by one Friday night and said
"Can you help me, Creole
Got a little girl waitin' on me and I wanna treat her right"

"I got what you need son; it's sittin' down in the cellar"
He reached through the cobwebs
As he turned on the light and said

"There might be a little dust on the bottle
But don't let it fool ya about what's inside
There might be a little dust on the bottle
It's one of those things that gets sweeter with time"

She was sittin' in the porch swing as I pulled up the driveway
My ol' heart was racing as she climbed inside
She slid over real close and drove down to the lake road
Watched the Sun fade in that big red sky

I reached under the front seat and said
"Now here's something special
It's just been waiting for a night like tonight"

There might be a little dust on the bottle
But don't let it fool ya about what's inside
There might be a little dust on the bottle
It's one of those things that gets sweeter with time

You're still with me, and we've made some memories
After all these years there's one thing I've found
Some say good love, well, it's like a fine wine
It keeps getting better as the days go by

There might be a little dust on the bottle
But don't let it fool ya about what's inside
There might be a little dust on the bottle
It's one of those things that gets sweeter with time

There might be a little dust on the bottle
But don't let it fool ya about what's inside
There might be a little dust on the bottle
It's one of those things that gets sweeter with time

Don't let it fool ya

Just Once lyrics - David Lee Murphy

A man can't look at a woman too long
Who looks like you without having thoughts
Run through his head and straight past his heart
Well I might not stand a ghost of a chance
You're a one man woman not a one night stand
You're not the kind to let it go that far
But I wouldn't think twice
If you ever changed your mind

Just once what I wouldn't do
To get my arms on a woman like you
Just once I'd love to know what it's like
Just once before I die
What I wouldn't give for just one night
Just once or twice

Gazing into your big brown eyes
Tonight I'm a little bit hypnotized
What makes a man put himself thru this
I can't count the times I've held my breath
As you walked past to control myself
I think it's time to get it off my chest
So what I'd like to say
If I had my way

Just once what I wouldn't do
To get my arms on a woman like you
Just once I'd love to know what it's like
Just once before I die
What I wouldn't give for just one night
Just once or twice

If you changed your mind
Well I wouldn't think twice

Just once what I wouldn't do
To get my arms on a woman like you
Just once I'd love to know what it's like
Just once before I die
What I wouldn't give for just one night
Just once or twice

Everything's Gonna Be Alright lyrics - David Lee Murphy

She raddled the ice in my plastic cup
I said "Yes mam", fill her up
Tell me something good that I don't know
'Cause this world's been kicking my behind
Life ain't been a friend of mine
Lately I've been feeling kinda low

And she looked back over her shoulder
Pointing at the sign hanging up on the wall
It said

Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
And nobody's gotta worry 'bout nothing
Don't go hitting that panic button
It ain't worth spilling your drink
Everything's gonna be alright
Alright, alright

So I nodded my head and said that's for sure
Dropped a few bucks in the mason jar
Felt those good old neon vibes on me
And whatever monkey that was on my back
He jumped off just like that
Right into the deep blue sea

And I looked back over her shoulder
Thinking 'bout the sign hanging up on the wall
That said

Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Nobody's gotta worry 'bout nothing
Don't go hitting that panic button
It ain't near as bad as you think
Everything's gonna be alright
Alright, alright

There ain't no doubt it's gonna work out
Come on, sing it with me
There ain't no doubt it's gonna work out
Come on and sing it with me

Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
And nobody's gotta worry 'bout nothing
Don't go hitting that panic button
It ain't near as bad as you think
Everything's gonna be alright
Alright (Is gonna be alright), alright (Is gonna be alright)
Everything's gonna be alright
Alright (Is gonna be alright), alright (Is gonna be alright)
Everything's gonna be alright
Is gonna be alright, is gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Is gonna be alright, is gonna be alright
