Jump back, baby, turn your head around. Jump back, feet won't touch the ground. I can see you on the dance floor baby, Turning heads while music softly plays In the warmth of a southern breeze you dance As i hold you in my gaze. !BRIDGE 1: Here i am, look around I feel love rushing in but it don’t make a sound And i know, if you saw me here, You’d be feeling the same way too. to CHORUS Other guys are moving in, but Somehow darling, you don’t seem to care Trouble is, though i’d love to do the same My two left feet don’t make a pair – Here i am, in this band & i’d rather be dancing if you’d hold my hand But i’ll play my guitar, ‘cause you’re happier where you are. Did you come all alone here? Is there someone you’re trying to forget? Did you turn off your phone, dear? If i don’t make my move now it’s something i’ll always regret And i know in my heart, In the rhythm you dance, i’m just playing a part Are you lost in the song? ‘cause i’m singing it just for you. CHORUSES OUT

THE GIRL FROM TENNESSEE I met a girl who stole my heart in Texas It’s a story that I want you all to see It’ll hit you in the solar plexus ‘Cos the truth and her were bitter enemies I’d seen off all those pretty girls come knocking at my door I guess I thought I'd seen it all before Chorus: Is it true you come from Tennessee? Does your daddy read the bible, say a prayer before you eat? Is there something you're not telling me Cos I never thought a country girl...... Could be the death of me/ could make a fool of me You can trace my family thru the ages To the time that we fought Santa Ana's best Our story is written in the pages, That there's Texans, and then there are the rest And then in one sweet phrase that I still don't understand, You came along and ruined all my plans Chorus When I dance with her I feel the magic That you have to be in love to understand But the outcome of this union was tragic When I took her home, and asked her for her hand And when my dad disowned me, my mama did the same They told me I'd disgraced the family name Chorus

Caballero 03:37
Verse 1: I thought we had an understanding, Though nothing’s ever been said, That if I’m down this way that I might stay till tomorrow? Verse 2: Seems to me loves got a hand in Things goin’ round in your head ‘cause when I hold you tight, I know you might be falling. Bridge: How bittersweet the sight - dawn’s early light And you know I’m not staying, I thought I heard you saying... Chorus: My way is your way, how can that be wrong? Caballero, Caballero if you’re leaving me tomorrow, How am I supposed to carry on? Verse 3: Always thought leaving was easy, Goodbye’s the devil I know. If I seem to care I swear that I’d be lyin’. Bridge 2: But still I see your face, my heart takes flight. This ain’t a game I’m playing, But still I hear you saying... Chorus: My way is your way, how can that be wrong? Caballero, Caballero if you’re leaving me tomorrow How am I supposed to carry on? How am I supposed to carry on?

VERSE 1: In a little café just the other side of the border She was just sitting there givin' me looks that made my mouth water. So I started walking her way - she belonged to that man, José, And I knew, yes I knew I should leave, when I heard her say-ay-ay, CHORUS: Come a little bit closer, you’re my kind of man - so big and so strong Come a little bit closer, I'm all alone, and the night is so long. VERSE 2: So we started to dance - in my arms, she felt so inviting. That I just couldn't resist - just one little kiss so exciting. Then I heard the guitar player say “Vamoose, José's on his way" Then I knew, yes I knew I should run, but then I heard her say-ay-ay, Repeat CHORUS SOLO VERSE 3: Then the music stopped, when I looked the café was empty. Then I heard José say, "Man you know you're in trouble plenty". So I dropped my drink from my hand, and through the window I ran And as I rode away, I could hear her say to José-ay-ay, Repeat CHORUS La la-la-la la-la - La la-la-la la-la Ho ho la-la - La la la-la

Jesus in the rehab, with a dose of love addiction Looks you in the eye, without much conviction Now he's got one eye looking forward, the other looking back Seems the second coming is a little off the track Watch out where you step, Careful who you follow Every little hero gonna leave you feelin' hollow (x2) Buddha in the bar room, lost his meditation Set him up a whisky, cause he needs some medication Now he's got one eye looking forward, and the other looking back Seems to me Nirvana, is a little off the track Chorus x 2 Elvis in the bathroom, he needs a little motion Outside of dis-Graceland, all love and sweet devotion So he gives a little shimmy, but his heart can't take the strain Jesus says to Gabriel, I think we're gonna need a crane Watch out where you step, Careful who you follow Every little hero gonna leave you feelin' hollow. Watch out where you step, Careful who you follow Every day you pray when we’re here & gone tomorrow Chorus x 2 Lad Vocals – Matt & Drew, Jim Russell – Drums, Jamie & Robbie McIntosh – guitars, Steve Hamilton, Ben Edwards - Brass

I got friends that are hard to refuse. There’s Bud and there’s Miller and there’s Jack Daniels too. Let's not forget Cuervo, he’s long been my hero, There’s Becks and Corona to name but a few The sauce is my saviour, despite my behaviour It’s hard to resist a good brew. But if I can get sober, I’ll drag myself over And we’ll raise just a small glass or two… Chorus: My liver’s been battered and bruised, My head is all messed up and I'm so confused. Tomorrow I'll give up the booze. If I can get sober I'll drag myself over, And pick up a 6-pack and drink it with you. I couldn't drink more if I tried, So how come each morning my mouth is so dry? It got me to thinkin’, if I stopped my drinkin’ Would I be a more reasonable guy? Some say stayin’ sober is like playin’ poker; We all know we’ll lose in the end. It’s true I'm no winner, I'm a miserable sinner, Ain’t a lifestyle that I recommend Repeat Chorus The doctor said, “Son here’s the deal - Your condition is one that’s unlikely to heal. I admire your style boy, but you live in denial boy. I suggest you abandon your automobile.” Chorus 3: My livers been battered and bruised My head is all messed up and I'm so confused Tomorrow I'll give up the booze If I can get sober I’ll drag my ass over, And pick up a 6-pack and drink it with you. When I get my car back, I'll pick up a 6-pack, And drive myself over and drink it with you. Lad Vocal – Jamie, Jim Russell – Drums

Twelve o'clock, southbound on fifteen Three hours from home and the weather sets in I see the lights of the lost and crossed motel I make the bar as she's starting to sing A little love, a little love A little love don't hurt anyone A little love, sweet love Won't hurt no-one at all 3 a.m, and the snow is still falling Looks like I'm stuck in this old motel bar She gets up, as the barman is calling She ain't even gonna make her car I take her hand, say she's crazy for leaving There’s no more regrets and this kiss ain't goodbye Chorus x 2 Don’t hurt anyone Don’t hurt no-one at all L

Mi Chorizo 03:38
Well, me and my friend Chico, went looking for some action, Not to put too fine a point on it, We headed down from Houston, way down to Old El Paso, We were known as gentlemen of taste & wit Well you know those girls from Texas? As pretty as a picture, When they take aim you better run the other way. So I suggested Juarez, across the Rio Grande Where the chiquititas' smiles will light your day. Well we're walking down the Calle, just taking in the action, When I see this senorita standing there So I strike some conversation, I wanna tell her she's the one But she just smiles and looks the other way Now I don't speak no lingo, I'm just a simple gringo, and Chico he can talk that Spanish way Then Chico whispers to me, man, she just don't understand you, This is what you’re gonna have to say Mi chorizo esta loco Try to understand un poco Mi chorizo esta loco over you Then she looks me up and down, I see her hand come ‘round I ask you, what’s a guy like me to do?! When I come to I see Chico, he's laughing like a drain He's laughing fit to bust his bony ass So I ask him what just happened? How I'm lying on this sidewalk Won't you tell me please how did this come to pass? He says it’s just your lingo, you speaka too much gringo And she can't understand you anyway Now listen dear amigo, if you really want to reach her This is what you're really gonna have to say Mi corazon es loco Try to understand un poco Mi corazon es loco over you Then she looks me up and down, And her hand comes softly ‘round I ask you, what’s a guy supposed to do?!

Made For Me 03:03
Chorus: You were made for me; it’s so easy to see It’s not science, it’s not (algebra) It’s so obvious to me You were made for me, like a song in a show, If it’s clear as the sky to me, then how come you don’t know? I was born to fulfil this moment Like a bird getting ready to fly I was empty and bare, ‘Til I saw you standing there, like an angel, And I knew you were mine, Single Chorus: You were made for me, in that old fashioned way If you don’t understand, my love, How can I make you stay? If a girl and a boy get together Then they kiss, and the sparks start to fly Then I guess that it’s true, there ain’t nothin’ you can do But surrender to the feelin’ inside Single Chorus: You were made for me, like a song in a show, If it’s clear as the sky to me Then how come you don’t know? Solo over single chorus I was born to fulfil this moment Like a bird getting ready to fly I was empty and bare, ‘til I saw you standing there And like love birds, I knew you were mine, Single Chorus: You were made for me, in that old fashioned way If you don’t understand, my love, How can I make you stay?

Texas Adios 03:22
Saw her standing in a slam-door frame Cute as sin, yeah sin was shamed She only had to call me twice Once for the shock, then once more besides I couldn't think of nothing smart So I says 'you wanna ride with me down to the mart? Pick up a six n a quart of J-D Down to the creek, have a time with me' Texas, Texas adios One more county line to cross Austin town was a mighty loss Texas, Texas adios We hit the road in a ragin' flow, One for the money, none for the show San Diego all the way to Baltimore Every city was an open door Oh baby this'll last forever This flame will burn thru any kinda weather Like a tornado in the Lone Star State, It was in Austin that love turned to hate Chorus I know I says this could last forever I loved your ways, and I loved the leather But call me dumb, or you may call me flake It was in Austin that I made my break It was in Austin that I wiped the slate Chorus x 2 Adios, adios, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, adios! Lead vocal – Matt, Jim Russell – drums
