Country or Bust We plant it in the spring time, weed and hoe all summer long. Making clear corn liquor and singing our own song We live outside, with the kids and the dogs from dawn till dusk Way out on the state road Where the pavement turns to dust We’re making our last stand, country or bust Country or Bust We did it in the city, Chasing easy street Had to learn it ain’t what you make, son it’s what you keep And now we keep it all. To live this life before it goes to rust. Way out on the state road Where the pavement turns to dust We’re making our last stand, country or bust Country or Bust This is Real Organic Perfect Place to Hide Lose the scared and panic and find your way outside We ain’t much for strangers Never know who’s passing through But everything we’ve got is yours, there’s a bed waiting for you it’s outside, with the kids and the dogs and all of us. Way out on the state road Where the pavement turns to dust We’re making our last stand, country or bust Country or Bust

All they left was a post it on the mailbox All it said was, “check your storage space” All I did was, grab my keys and a flash light and so I found them there in a sweaty embrace when life gives you the finger, son, you need your special place. This old truck always turns over When I stomp the gas This old truck held every thing I own The day I left his ass I can find the cheap parts any, and fix it with a socket set I ain’t given up this truck, cause this truck ain’t quit me yet No this truck ain’t quit me yet. I spent some time swiping through the headshots Looking for a love that I knew could not fail. And I tried so hard to be great romancer But I always ended up chasing my tail. And I want a happy song, but mine is in a minor scale This old truck always turns over When I stomp the gas This old truck held every thing I own The day I left his ass I can find the cheap parts any, and fix it with a socket set I ain’t given up this truck, cause this truck ain’t quit me yet No this truck ain’t quit me yet. Sometimes we, go riding through the country Just two old friends living past their prime If I’m feeling flush I fill up on the good stuff And let that motor sing in perfect time. And he ain’t flesh and blood, but he’s the only thing that’s mine. This old truck always turns over When I stomp the gas This old truck held every thing I own The day I left his ass I can find the cheap parts any, and fix it with a socket set I ain’t given up this truck, cause this truck ain’t quit me yet No this truck ain’t quit me yet.

A long time ago you worked up your nerve You walked across the room and you said you words “How do you do? My name is Joe.” She looked you up and and down and it was stop or go. Time flies by The old ways get hard to prove Time flies by But if you want it friend you better make your move My first boss was an SOB He had a good old time taking shots at me. I picked up my nickels and learned to fast. Told that old man that he could kiss my ass. Time flies by The old ways get hard to prove Time flies by But if you want it friend you better make your move There’s always some new bill to pay. A new bomb to fear, a new word to say. But people they’re just all the same You can get things done or shake the blame. Time flies by The old ways get hard to prove Time flies by But if you want it friend you better make your move

That fender guitar sure sparkles in the window. Periwinkle telecaster sounds like a dream The neck pickup coos like a little baby And single coil bridge sure knows how to twang and scream Put it on layaway I ain’t got the scratch today But it will be mine and I’m gonna buy it in my own sweet time. Good things wait for those who come with cold hard cash Every pay day, I chip some away. Put it on layaway. That red velvet suit fits you like a warm bath You walk down the street in that suit and folks step aside Bell bottom slacks and a vest just like Tom Jones. Clothes that swing for the fence with nothing to hide. Put it on layaway I ain’t got the scratch today But it will be mine and I’m gonna buy it in my own sweet time. Good things wait for those who come with cold hard cash Every pay day, I chip some away. Put it on layaway. That bike sounds like righteous rolling thunder. 1200 cc’s of Wisconsin American steel. Chrome in front. Chrome in the rear and just enough chrome On the side. I know just how to make this big ticket deal. Put it on layaway I ain’t got the scratch today But it will be mine and I’m gonna get it in my own sweet time. Good things wait for those who come with cold hard cash Every pay day, I chip some away. Put it on layaway.

I don’t know why you want me so I don’t know how to tell you no But just in case you need a show… Just keep it coming Just keep it coming I will come running to you. I’ve wasted years on childish games Begging for mercy, life in flames But You stole me heart like Jesse James Just keep it coming Just keep it coming I will come running to you. I’ve got a Ph.D. in romantic deceits Square pegs and round holes and dead end streets It’s tempting to try and boil it down. Pick thru my past in this cut throat town. But you are the luck that turned me round Just keep it coming Just keep it coming I will come running to you.
