VERSE 1:
Well it’s finally the end of long work week
I rush on home and get a little sleep
Wake up and strap my guitar on and get a little warmed up
Get to the show an open up the adrenalin rushing there’s people galore,
Can’t wait until we hit the stage and the lights go up.
CHORUS:
And we were tearin' it up
Kickin' up dust
The band was pumpin'
The crowd was jumpin'
Couldn’t get enough.
Burnin' it up
Too hot to touch
The sparks were flyin'
There's no denyin'
We were tearin' it up.
VERSE 2:
When we hit the first chord they were ready to dance
Like a stampede of horses or an avalanche
They were doing the latest, packin' the dance floor down
We took our first break we were havin' a beer
The bar owner's grinning from ear to ear
Says boys I got tell ya that you’re doing me a hell of a job.
CHORUS
VERSE 3:
Well I can hardly wait till next weekend
When me and the boys get to do it again
Packin' the dance floor doin' all our latest stuff
They’ll be swingin' and stompin' and doin' their spins
Clappin and shoutin' and shakin' rear ends
Man I got tell ya that I really really love my job.
CHORUS AND OUT
END
Traces Of Tracy

VERSE 1:
I’ve been waitin' for three days for you to return my calls
And I keep starin' at the telephone baby not ringin' off that wall
Well I keep tryin' to reach you but I ain't had no luck
Until I hear your sweet voice on the line baby I ain't givin' up
And the pictures hangin' on the walls reminding me every day
I should have stood in the doorway baby beggin' you to stay
CHORUS:
I’m lookin' at traces of Tracy drivin' me crazy
I’m going out of my mind
Everything surroundin' me reminds me of you
All the time when I lay down and see your big green eyes
And smell that perfume on the sheets I got to get you back
Cause traces of Tracy are killin' me.
VERSE 2:
There’s that old clock on the mantle that you just had to have
And the curtains you hung on the windows baby they're all still tied back
And that ole sweatshirt you stole from me an slept in every night
Still hangs there on the end of the bed baby waitin' on you tonight
In my mind I said it was over but my heart can’t handle that
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
I know I should have never let you go
and I’m payin' for it still
But I’ve got to get you back 'cause all I have are
Traces of Tracy...traces...traces
CHORUS
END
You Were Right’r Than Me

VERSE 1:
Well late last night we had a hell of a fight
I crossed the line I know you were right
Hey I let my foolish pride take control over me
Well I thought I was right but you were right’r than me.
Well I guess I realize what you mean to me
The last thing I’d want is to ever leave
Girl I hope you realize what I’m tryin to say
Is that I thought I was right but you were right’r than me
CHORUS:
Well I know I don’t tell you all the time
But your sweet love is always on my mind
And there's one thing and I want you to know it’s true
I still need you.
VERSE 2
Well you said your mom was right when she said you were wrong
A runnin' round town with this ole dog
Girl I bet you think the things your momma said were true
Well your momma was right but darling you were too.
CHORUS
CHORUS:
Well I know I don’t tell you all the time
But your sweet love is always on my mind
And there's one thing and I want you to know it’s true
I still need you.
Well I thought I was right but you were right’r than me
Yeah I thought I was right but you were right’r than me
Girl I thought I was right but you were right’r than me
Well I thought I was right but you were right’r than me
