It hit me like a brick, when I first heard you Guitar town was playin' , I said what's that groove Now you came on strong, and that's what I'm going to do So, no more being shy, I think I always new... IT'S YOUR FEEL GOOD MUSIC, MAKES YOU LAUGH MAKES YOU SING TO... IT'S YOUR KINDA MUSIC, MAKES YA SHOUT, MAKES YA WANNA MOVE.. IT'S YOUR FEEL GOOD MUSIC, MAKES YA DANCE, MAKES YA WANNA GROOVE... IT'S A NICE CHANGE OF PACE, SO I SAY..... HEY THERE ROCK 'N ROLLER, YOU HEAR THAT COUNTRY CALLING YOU !!!!

It's been the place to meet since the town was built, it's our own watering hole... It's been a meeting hall, concert hall, banquet hall, town hall, everything to put on a show... It's been left for dead at least a dozen times through depression, recession and the crash of 29'... The local bands really packed 'em in, and we all joined in to sing... CAUSE,,,, WE'RE NOT GOING TO THE MOVIES, WE'RE NOT GOING TO THE SHOW, WE'RE ALL HEADED OUT ON A SATURDAY NIGHT TO THE HOMETOWN BAR AND GRILL.... IT'S THE SAME OLD CROOKED BAR STOOLS, SAME OLD POOL CUE... MEET MY OLD FRIENDS ON A SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE HOMETOWN BAR AND GRILL...

The cattle may roam and I may ride, I haven't built a fence, no need to hide Take 'em to the water, and bring 'em back alive, cause the creek means life... A one room shack out of dirt and hay, We put a stake down, here is where I'll stay, make a fresh start and we'll do it our way, and we won't know defeat... ALL I SEE FROM EAST TO WEST AND 3 MILE SOUTH IS WHERE MY LAND ENDS, GRANDADDY SAID WITH HIS DYING BREATH AND THE CREEK TO THE NORTH... DEFEND MY LAND TILL THE DAY I DIE, SO MANY CAME, SO MANY TRIED... FROM MYRTLE TO MIAMI ON HIGHWAY 23, YOU NEVER GO SOUTH, of DEAD HORSE CREEK !!!!

Uncle Homer 04:48
Got a letter from a lawyer, got a meeting tomorrow at 3:00. What does he want, what could it be, is somebody suing me ?? I walked right in nervously, they said you don't need a seat, just down the hall and to the right, there's some folks you ought a meet. Behind the desk was a layer there with bright shinny teeth, by the chair was cousin Bruce, had the same look as me.. Sit down boys, I got great news, then he began to speak, and what he said was a shock to me, and this is how it went.... (IT SEEMS THAT ) WIERD OLD UNCLE HOMER LEFT YOU A PILE OF CASH, HE PULLED TWO NAMES FROM A HAT AND SAID THAT IS THAT. SO HERE'S YOUR CHECKS AND GOOD LUCK BOYS, IT'S ALL UP TO YOU, BECAUSE WIERD OLD UNCLE HOMER, JUST NEVER KNEW WHAT TO DO.

The workin' man gets up on time, he hits the road ,and it's just fine. You punch the clock, the bell goes off, you go to work till the bell says stop, Just another day, I'm hoping for more pay, but the one thing that's going to keep me sain, IS THE, BEER DRINKIN' LONG WEEKEND NATIONAL HOLIDAY, YA !! WE CAN BBQ WE CAN PLAY HORSE SHOES, WE CAN CHASE YOUR BLUES AWAY, THERE AIN'T NO NEED TO CHECK THE CLOCK, THERE'S NO PLACE TO BE... ON A BEER DRINKIN' LONG WEEKEND NATIONAL HOLIDAY , YA !!.
7.
PACKIN' UP FOR THE WEEKEND, MAKIN' PLANS TO GET AWAY, GOT MY COOLER FULL OF BEER AND WE'RE GRABING ALL THE GEAR, CAUSE WE'RE GOING TO GO CAMPING TODAY !!! I don't care much for the city, It's alright if you like that pace, Lookin' forward to the weekend, we can leave this rat race. Not much work done on a friday, time is draggin' real slow, One more hour 'till my freedom, you know I'll be good to go.....

I'm Alright 04:09
I've seen a lot of folks, I've seen them come and go. I've seen the good and the bad. I've tried to see them, I've tried to meet them, I always fall for the trap.... BUT I'M ALRIGHT (hey), YA ALRIGHT (hey), I GOT THIS THING WORKED OUT. I'M ALRIGHT (hey), YA ALRIGHT (hey), I'VE GOT IT ALL WORKER OUT....
9.
You talk to me like a microphone, you can't hear me cause your on your phone, Texting your friends, or anybody who will listen. Well life's to short, to put up with your fiction... You got twelve hundred friends on your instagram but not a single one really give a damn, about your trip to the city, or the colour of your hair, only 200 likes, now life's unfair.... CAUSE YOU, INTERUPT AND YOU JUMP RIGHT IN TO A CONVERASATION YOUR HIGHJACKIN' GOTTA FIND A WAY TO RIGHT THIS WRONG, HEY SELFISH GIRL,,,, GET GONE.....

Well I heard you throwin' shoes, there's nothin' you'd rather do, When horseshoes are flyin' tonight, that song describes it alright. And the point to the whole darn game, OH, ANOTHER RINGER !! Let's head down to the pits, try to get a few games in, We need to go practice up, so we can stop being the runner up, And you know what we're looking all for, OH, ANOTHER RINGER !! THEY CAN GETTEM' OFF THE BACKBOARD GET'EM WITH A FEW FLIPS, GET'EM ANYWAY THEY WANT. I'M LUCKY IF I HIT THE PIT, DON'T STAND TO CLOSE, GOT ANOTHER ONE TO TOSS THE OLD GUYS GIVE ADVICE, EVEN IF THEY SAY IT TWICE IT DOESN'T SINK IN ENOUGH. I'M LOOKING FOR THE MAGIC FIX, DON'T CARE WHAT IT IS, JUST WANT TO HEAR YOU ALL SHOUT, OH, ANIOTHER RINGER !!!
