Lyle Lovett Album

Interstate 610
Highway 45
A sun-drunk redneck
Barely left me alive

That's when I saw her
Singin' and laughin'
Tryin' to pass me
In a Volkswagen

She's as cute as a Bug
Short as a minute
She's a pretty little package with
Everything in it
I've said enough
To praise God above
I'm crazy in love
She's as cute as a Bug

Playin' at the rodeo
Lots of people I don't know
Better ask around I guess
And try to stay behind this mess

Mister, have you seen that car?
Blowing like a hurricane
I hope she hadn't gone too far
I don't even know her name

She's as cute as a Bug
Short as a minute
She's a pretty little package with
Everything in it
I've said enough
To praise God above
I'm crazy in love
She's as cute as a Bug

Heading up north I will
Come through Huntsville
Trinity and Palestine
I'm going back to Tennessee

Lookin' through my windshield
I can still see her
Man, I got a bad case
Of Volkswagen fever

She's as cute as a Bug
Short as a minute
She's a pretty little package with
Everything in it
I've said enough
To praise God above
I'm crazy in love
She's as cute as a Bug

Cute as a Bug
Short as a minute
She's a pretty little package with
Everything in it
I've said enough
To praise God above
I'm crazy in love
She's as cute as a Bug

A friend of mine, he said to me a skinny girl is a misery
I shook my head because I knew he couldn't be right
But that's when I thought back to just last night

When I got home, it was maybe a little late.
There was ne're a crumb or ne're a plate
There was no martini, no glass of grape.
But it was there I sought to contemplate.

Some things, my baby don't tolerate
my baby don't tolerate
my baby don't tolerate
from me.

I said hello honey, how have you been.
She said what could you possibly have been doin' until half past then.
And not bein completely unsensitive I could tell my ship had run a ground,
cause when I puckered up you know she, puckered down.

Some things, my baby don't tolerate
my baby don't tolerate
my baby don't tolerate
from me.

Now a small and more ordinary man might not appreciate the guidance of a good woman who truly loves him.
He might drift in despair after the ingnorat dumb doins' of his dirty daily existance

That's not me. No, Yessiree. I'm proof that true love will set you free.
Some things, my baby don't tolerate
my baby don't tolerate
my baby don't tolerate
from me

Turn down that highway. Turn up that dirt road.
Well, It's over three days since I left Houston.
Ole Black's my truck's name.
She's held together by BF Good tires and bailing wire.

Well, I went to high school and I was not popular.
Now I am older, and it don't matter.
Ole Black's my truck's name.
She's held together.
I've slept inside her when I was tired.

I've been to Paris, and I don't mean Texas.
Well, I met them vendors one time in London.
Ole Black's my truck's name. She's held together.
My lane's the right one when I'm in England.

My baby calls me. She says she loves me.
And when I see her, then I believe her.
Ole Black's my truck's name.
And, oh, she don't say much.
We leave together and lay some rubber.

On down that highway, turn up that dirt road.
It's over three days since I left Houston.
Ole Black's my truck's name.
She's held together by BF Good tires and bailing wire.

Turn down that highway, turn up that dirt road.
It's over three days since I left Houston.
Ole Black's my truck's name.
She's held together by BF Good tires and bailing wire.

By BF Good tires and bailing wire.

I get up in the morning
Drink a cup of coffee
I look out of the window
I try to get it started
I turn it all over
Plow it all under
I plant 'em in the springtime
Pick 'em in the summer

I live in my own mind
Ain't nothin but a good time
No rain just the sunshine
Out here in my own mind
I live where I can breathe
Ain't nothin but a cool breeze
Nobody that it won't please
Out here where i can breathe

Randy and Danny Ray
They'll show back up any day
That's one thing you can count on
But sometimes they'll be long gone
I'd rather be hunting
Hooked on fishing
I read it on their t-shirts
And if you don't believe it

I live in my own mind
Ain't nothin but a good time
No rain just the sunshine
Out here in my own mind
I live where I can breathe
Ain't nothin but a cool breeze
Nobody that it won't please
Out here where i can breathe

Hardwood floor creakin'
Bedroom door squeakin'
She's standing in the kitchen
I thought that she'd still be sleepin'
Kiss her on the forehead
Asked her how she slept
She says, 'honey, it's so early
Probably shouldn't speak yet'

I live in my own mind
Ain't nothin but a good time
No rain just the sunshine
Out here in my own mind
I live where I can breathe
Ain't nothin but a cool breeze
Nobody that it won't please
Out here where i can breathe

He's pulling out for Reno
He hopes a tire don't blow
Up near Albuquerque
He'll fuel and get some coffee
Cline's Corners truck stop
A waitress with a wet mop
Telling him to don't walk
He tips his hat and don't talk

He knows it's nothing but a good ride
No there's nothing there he can't slide
No there's nothing that he won't spin
No there's nothing to it do it again
No it's nothing but the big show
No there's nowhere that he won't go
No he never has to ask why
He knows it's nothing but a good ride

He says there's something about a sunrise
Waking up sleepy eyed
He says there's something about a highway
Telling him he can't stay
He says there's something about a long drive
That gives him some peace of mind
And there's something that he can't take
When he's coming in second place

He knows it's nothing but a good ride
No there's nothing there he can't slide
No there's nothing that he won't spin
No there's nothing to it do it again
No it's nothing but the big show
No there's nowhere that he won't go
No he never has to ask why
He knows it's nothing but a good ride

And when it's all over
He'll move a little slower
He'll back up to the trailer
And look toward Oklahoma
He'll pull out right through the middle of town
And watch the sun start sinking down
Still just lighting up the road signs
Getting ready for the next time.

He knows it's nothing but a good ride
No there's nothing there he can't slide
No there's nothing that he won't spin
No there's nothing to it do it again
No it's nothing but the big show
No there's nowhere that he won't go
No he never has to ask why
He knows it's nothing but a good ride

Ain't no big dog, Coming to bite you
Ain't no bad man, Coming to find you
Just rest easy, We'll be home soon
And you'll be sleeping, In your own room
Don't you worry little one
Don't you worry little one
Everything is going to be all right In the morning light

Mama loves you, Daddy does too
Grandma wants you, After schools through
You just be cool
And rest easy
'Cause you're the king of All that you see
So don't you worry little one
Don't you worry little one
Everything is going to be all right In the morning light

When you're sleeping, What do you see
Must be angels Smiling at me
What did I do
To deserve you There weren't nothing As far as I knew

I'd go faster, In the pasture
But in Tomball, Live the law dogs
Thirty's fine, Oh, but thirty-one is a crime
And they all, Have a gun
But don't you worry little one
Don't you worry little one
Everything is going to be all right In the morning light

The sun comes up
The world goes round and round
There's no bad luck, its
Just the luck you found
You steal away
Into a lonesome sun
Another day
Is lowered in the ground

I feel my heartbeat
It's pounding in my head
I hear the hooves beat
They must be drawing near
I feel the wind blow
It's rushing through my hair
Out in the shadows
Your face is everywhere

You were standing there beside me
Right where you are supposed to be right now
Now there is no one left to guide
Tell me now what I am supposed to do
I am supposed to do

You were always there
You were always there
You were always there
You were always there

A new horizon It's all supposed to be
I close my eyes
I look at what I see
I hear the laughing and crying from above
It's just the voice
Eternal hoping love

You were standing there beside me
Right where you are supposed to be right now
Now there is no one left to guide
Tell me now what I am supposed to do
I am supposed to do

You were always there
You were always there
You were always there
You were always there

(music)

You were always there
You were always there
You were always there
You were always there

You were always there
You were always there
You were always there
You were always there

The whistle blows
At the break of dawn
Still that evening
The work goes on
Sixteen hours
Of every day
And Baby if I could
You know I'd walk away

I've been working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love

Now a man he does
The things he'll do
A woman knows
Still her hope stays true
Rise up early
Rise up strong
I feel the pain Baby
Don't let on

I've been working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love

Home is empty
The road is long
It feels like years now
That I've been gone
And all I want
And all I choose
And Baby all I have
I have to lose

I've been working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love
Working too hard to win your love

Since I first saw you I've been thinkin' about you
And now I'm out here on the highway goin' crazy without you
I can't help but want you girl, you're young and you're pretty
But somehow I can't see you up in New York City

I'm gonna leave you alone in your own little world
But won't you be my San Antonio girl
Be my San Antonio girl
Be my, be my, be my, San Antonio girl

Now I know you've heard the stories bout life in the fast lane
What they didn't tell you is you come home on a slow train
I'd just as soon remember you the way that I found you
Dancin' by yourself with the stars all around you
