Drinkin' Songs And Other Logic Lyrics – Clint Black

I'm lookin' at a busy bartender
There's one man party goin' one
I'm sittin' here nursin' a longneck beer
Tryin' to forget you're gone
And I've got a fresh roll of quarters
For an all night honky tonk sound
It keeps me singin' a different tune
So the bottle won't let me down

Drinkin' songs and other logic get me over you
If there's a bullet I can dodge it with a shot of ninety proof
With the jukebox now in session and Haggard ringin' true
Drinkin' songs and other logic get me through

It's a good life here in the nightlife
Bedin' in the neon glow
The bartender, me and the kings of country
Playin' everythin' we know
The Red headed stanger's smokin'
He burned a hole in his guitar
And I'm drowin' in a whisky river
Lord, that's a-runnin' right through this bar

Drinkin' songs and other logic get me over you
If there's a bullet I can dodge it with a shot of ninety proof
With the jukebox now in session and Willie ringin' true
Drinkin' songs and other logic get me through

Oh, lonesome me, I'm walkin' floors, hello walls, and swingin' doors
Your cheatin' heart, you done me wrong, and the list goes on and on

Drinkin' songs and other logic get me over you
If there's a bullet I can dodge it with a shot of ninety proof
With the jukebox now in session and the music ringin' true
Drinkin' songs and other logic get me through
Drinkin' songs and other logic get me through

Heartaches Lyrics – Clint Black

The doctor told me I'd get better in time
The pains in my chest won't drive me outta my mind
A little patience and I'll get over this one
Now even he would admit his diagnosis was wrong

'Cause here come those heartaches again
I've got a memory that's wearin' me thin
I'll have an IV of somethin' strong
'Cause I just might not have that long

'Cause here come those heartaches again
I see you will be checkin' me in
Doctor, give me just one more shot
There's no tellin' how long I've got

I'll need a bypass of anything I might feel
A big glass of pain killer
It might even seem like I'm here
But I won't bother tellin' my HMO
'Cause everytime I was dyin'
They kept letting me go

And here come those heartaches again
I've got a memory that's wearin' me thin
I'll have an IV of somethin' strong
'Cause I just might not have that long

'Cause here come those heartaches again
I see you will be checkin' me in
Doctor, give me just one more shot
There's no tellin' how long I've got

'Cause here come those heartaches again

Code Of The West Lyrics – Clint Black

All my life I've been a cowboy in my heart
Every western hero on the screen's
Been with me from the start
Ridin' high and showin' me the way
And they've been there with me through my toughest times
We'd ride out to the boundries but we never crossed those lines
And that's a code that I'm still livin' by today

The code of the west was black and white
Good guys and the bad
You would always know who's wrong or right
By the color of their hat

Now there aren't so many happy trails
I've ridden some you wouldn't wanna see
You don't go off into the sunset
And they don't run from sea to shinin' sea

And it's good to see the bad guys on the run
While our modern day heroes show 'em how the west was won
On their trail 'til they bring the last one down
We could use a few more cowboys here today
A few more days of reckoning and a lot more hell to pay
Where that debt is owed there ain't no middle ground

The code of the west was black and white
The good guys and the bad
You would always know who's wrong or right
By the color of their hat

Now there aren't so many happy trails
I've ridden some you wouldn't wanna see
You don't go off into the sunset
And they don't run from sea to shinin' sea

The code of the west was black and white
The good guys and the bad
You would always know who's wrong and who was right
By the color of their hat

Now there aren't so many happy trails
I've ridden some you wouldn't wanna see
You don't go off into the sunset
And they don't run from sea to shinin' sea

All my life I've been a cowboy in my heart

Rainbow In The Rain Lyrics – Clint Black

I've seen the storms comin' so many times I'm losin' track
Yesterdays clouds are rollin' in again
Oh, and what a woman, every time I start thinkin' back
How she's come and gone just like the wind

And there's no such thing as old forgotten memories
No such thing as the only one to blame
And I'm not one who'll never see the forest for the trees
But I can't find a rainbow in the rain

I wake up in the mornin'
Hope I got you outta my head
But not if I'm shiverin' from the cold
And the red skies warnin' to say I'd better stay in bed
And don't go lookin' for a pot of gold

'Cause there's no such thing as old forgotten memories
No such thing as the only one to blame
And I'm not one who'll never see the forest for the trees
But I can't find a rainbow in the rain

No, there's no such thing as old forgotten memories
And I don't go lookin' for rainbows in the rain

Undercover Cowboy Lyrics – Clint Black

Sneakin' all around
Hopin' that he won't be recognized
He looks her up and down
Maybe she'd believe his little lies
All the misinformation
Will make it hard to check his alibis
It's a tricky operation
Even for the master of disguise

Undercover cowboy
Workin' undercovers all over town
Just another plowboy
Tryin' to cover a lot of ground
Undercover cowboy
He'll tell ya everythin' you need to do
To be an undercover cowgirl
The undercover cowboy only wants to know
How to get under the cover with you

Undercover cool
He tells her all about his cattle ranch
From the tiny little pool
That's what he likes to call his oil patch
With all the colors of the rainbow
He's gonna paint you a lovely view
But you can only lay a little low
'Til he can let ya know about a secret rendezvous

Undercover cowboy
Workin' undercovers all over town
Just another plowboy
Tryin' to cover a lot of ground
Undercover cowboy
He'll tell ya everythin' you need to do
To be an undercover cowgirl
The undercover cowboy only wants to know
How to get under the cover with you

Now he's well schooled in the bar stool pickup line
He's a dance hall king with one thing on his mind
Undercover cowboy

Undercover cowboy
Workin' undercovers all over town
Just another plowboy
Tryin' to cover a lot of ground
Undercover cowboy
He'll tell ya everythin' you need to do
To be an undercover cowgirl
The undercover cowboy only wants to know
How to get under the cover with you

Undercover cowboy, undercover cowboy
Undercover cowboy, undercover cowboy
Undercover cowboy

Go It Alone Lyrics – Clint Black

Here we are again my old friend
We rode to the ends of the earth and back again
We've seen all and done all that there is to do
Now you're ridin' the sky with the others we knew
Ridin' free like the drifer you are
With your back to the wind

But I have seen you and me with our backs to the wall
We have fought to be free from both sides of the law
Sometimes we're forgiven the chances we take
Most times we're just bending the rules when they break
But this is one ride just you alone have to make
Win, lose or draw

You go it alone my old friend
We could never know how just how it would end
We're just flesh and bone, we break and we bend
It's chiseled in stone, we say our amen
And you go it alone

There once was a time when we knew the trails
Now ahead or behind are fences and rails
We've outlived the lifetime and ran out of room
But every hand finally throws up his hat to the moon
Now the fiddler's just played his last tune
And told his last tale

He said, you go it alone my old friend
We could never know how just how it would end
We're just flesh and bone, we break and we bend
Now it's chiseled in stone, we've said our amen
And you go it alone

You go it alone, you go it alone

Too Much Rock Lyrics – Clint Black

The sun's gonna shine tomorrow
But I'll be lookin' for the rain
Wells run dry, there's only dirt to turn
If things go broke tomorrow
But it goes against my grain
And I'm plowin' down a row of no return

There's just too much rock in this country
Too many lessons to learn
'Til that harvest moon smiles down on me
There's just too many stones to overturn

Now I'm gonna put this hoe down
And pick up my guitar
Plant some seeds down on Music Row
But it seems that old town is a lot like on the farm
I keep plantin', nothin' ever seems to grow

There's just too much rock in this country
Too many lessons to learn
'Til that harvest moon smiles down on me
There's just too many stones to overturn

Now I've heard it said to make a livin' like that
Will take more than flesh and bone
As a matter of fact to wear that hat
You're gonna plow through a world of stone

There's just too many lessons to learn
'Til that harvest moon smiles down on me
There's just too many stones to overturn

Too many stones to overturn

A Big One Lyrics – Clint Black

Look around any old crowded bar
You'll see a million reason, a million scars
You can hear what the body language has to say
A good libation in celebration, a dedication in desperation
If you wanna know why I'm here, let me count the ways

I only need one good reason to keep on drinkin'
So I'll have one more, I'm not done
Well, I'm toast, I'll toast every little thing around
Until the memories are all gone
I can't think of one thing wrong
With drinkin' and thinkin' of the one good reason I have
And it's a big one

I keep pourin' it in, I don't think it shows
There's a hole in my heart where all the whiskey goes
I try fillin' it up but it just seems to go right through
Drink as I may, no matter what I do
Never seem to need a reason number two
I count it all on one finger
It's always pointin' right at you

Now let me hear you drinkers

I only need one good reason to keep on drinkin'
So I have one more, I'm not done
I'll be non stop, bottoms up, callin' for another round
Until the memories are all gone
I can't think of one thing wrong
With drinkin' and thinkin' of the one good reason I have
And it's a big one

Now there's all kinds of reasons, good and bad
There's about twenty-seven that my brother had
I'd a had 'em all rather than the one I have
I wouldn't be here countin' in the aftermath

But I need only one good reason to keep on drinkin'
So I have one more, I'm just drinkin'
And thinkin' of one good reason I have
And it's a big one

It's a big one, I'll tell ya, it's a big one
Oh, brother, it's a big one

I Don't Wanna Tell You Lyrics – Clint Black

I don't wanna tell you
You don't have a place in my heart
I don't like bein' the only one
That knows there's somethin' tearin' us a part
I can't write a goodbye letter
Loving eyes won't read between the lines
I don't wanna tell you
There's just no other way that I can find

I don't wanna tell you
But it seems the only way to make this clear
And I don't wanna tell you
So I'll just stop and have another beer
'Cause when I get home
I don't want my conscience weighin' on my mind
I don't wanna tell you
There's just no other way that I can find

For so long I've tried to show you
Hopin' you'd just see that somethin's wrong
The more that I let go of you
The more I feel you just keep hangin' on
So long I've known it's over
Always wishin' you could read my mind
I don't wanna tell you
There's just no other way that I can find

I don't wanna tell you
But it seems the only way to make this clear
I don't wanna tell you
So I'll just stop and have another beer
'Cause when I get home
I don't want my conscience weighin' on my mind
I don't wanna tell you
There's just no other way that I can find

Back Home In Heaven Lyrics – Clint Black

There's a burnin' silver lining, lighting up the sky
Ahead of someone's promise, the storm is passing by
I know I can't be with you, you're like a distant star
Shining in the great unknown, but I know where you are

You're the guiding light that always gets me through
But it's the longest road that leads me back to you
My body's bound to waunder but my heart will always be
Back home in heaven where my angel waits for me

I can feel the earth beneath my feet
And sunlight on my face
This world can bring me to my knees
And keep me in my place
Where I'm always lookin' up to you
Just like I've always done
Asking you my questions
And the answers always come

You live on here in your carefully planted seeds
That have grown to give me everything I need
My body's bound to waunder but my heart will always be
Back home in heaven where my angel waits for me

You're the guiding light that always gets me through
But it's the longest road that leads me back to you
My body's bound to waunder but my heart will always be
Back home in heaven where my angel waits for me
Back home in heaven where my angel waits for me

Thinkin' Of You Lyrics – Clint Black

I've been thinkin' of ya
And my heart aches 'til I can't clear my head
And my thoughts won't rise above ya
And I've had all I can take
There's no more heart to break
Though I always get it wrong
Gonna have to sing along
With the familiar drinkin' song

Whiskey bottle with some melody
Just rolls of the tongue for me, I know 'em all
When I mix gin and misery
I know I'll be the last to see me when I fall

So I'm thinkin' of ya but I don't feel the pain
The song went to my head where I can't forget to love ya
And I'll probably go insane about that old refrain
Though my heart is not that strong
It keeps beating right along
With the familiar drinkin' song

Whiskey bottle with some melody
Just rolls of the tongue for me, I know 'em all
When I mix gin and misery
I know I'll be the last to see me when I fall

Whiskey bottle with some melody
Just rolls of the tongue for me, I know 'em all
When I mix gin and misery
I know I'll be the last to see me when I fall
And I have to crawl

Still I'm thinkin' of ya
And my heart aches, I can't clear my head
And my thoughts won't rise above ya
And I've had all I can take
There's no more heart to break
Though I always get it wrong
Gonna have to sing along
With the familiar drinkin' song

Longnecks And Rednecks Lyrics – Clint Black

She sees him flag down the waitress
A picture of greeting and class
She brings him his beer in a bottle
Then he goes and pours it in a glass

Longnecks ain't nothin' without rednecks
It takes more than a cowboy hat to really make them cool
And rednecks ain't nothin' without longnecks
That's why we all feel ten feet tall sittin' on a stool

Now a bottle is what drinkin' was made for
It doesn't take some suds to make that clear
You won't find Martinis on the dance floor
But I can do the two-step drinkin' beer

Longnecks ain't nothin' without rednecks
It takes more than some cowboy boots to really make them cool
And rednecks ain't nothin' without longnecks
That's why we all feel ten feet tall sittin' on a stool

Pour anything you want into a coctail
Those highbrow drinks don't show how smart you are
It's not that kinda class that made Budweiser
It's the higher education at the bar

Longnecks ain't nothin' without rednecks
It takes more than the honky tonk to really make them cool
And rednecks ain't nothin' without longnecks
That's why we all feel ten feet tall sittin' on a stool

Yeah, that's why we all feel ten feet tall sittin' on a stool

"Spend My Time" (2004)

We All Fall Down Lyrics – Clint Black

I oughta know the look in another's eyes
When there's something on their mind
I think I saw that look in a lover's eyes
They were looking into mine
Like we both had found the one we want
But found the one we wanted just quit trying

So we tell ourselves that what we found
Is what we meant to find
That's what we tell ourselves
You won't believe the things
A heart could tell a mind
Somehow we sell ourselves on love
I just don't think
I'll believe my heart this time

I oughta know the language well
I've heard me tell myself these things before
I finally made my mind up
My heart tells me to look for something more
Determined not to wind up wondering
Was she the one
Well, you never can be sure

So we tell ourselves that what we found
Is what we meant to find
That's what we tell ourselves
You won't believe the things
A heart could tell a mind
Somehow we sell ourselves on love
I just don't think
I'll believe my heart this time

So we tell ourselves
That what we found is what we meant to find
That's what we tell ourselves
You won't believe the things
A heart could tell a mind
Somehow we sell ourselves on love
I just don't think
I'll believe my heart this time

My Imagination Lyrics – Clint Black

Standing there with her arms around no one
No one who'd die for her right where he stands
Looking around like she's looking for someone
Looking like she's got time on her hands
Funny how much you can see in someone
Across the room who you don't even know
Telling you things she would tell to no one
Taking you places she's wanted to go

Like a walk in the rain, a place in the sun
With a lifetime of love that has only begun
Doing all of the things only lovers can do
My imagination is running away with you

Walking away and I'm walking beside her
Into forever here in my mind
Deraming a dream that we're dreaming together
Finding the things only lovers can find

Like a walk on the moon, a dance in the stars
With a love light that finds us wherever we are
And our own happy ending will always come true
My imagination is running away with you

As fast as I can running straight to your heart
Where the fantasy ends and reality starts
'Til I stop believing that dreaming is all I can do
And the fantasy might even come true
My imagination, it's only my imagination running away with you

She's Leavin' Lyrics – Clint Black

When I think about the time that I sat crying in my beer
Jukebox pounding misery from ear to ear
I know I'd tell myself I'm better off without you here
But I'm looking for beginnings when the end is always near.

She's leavin' in the morning sing a sad song for me
Keeping me in the dark don't know how long it will be
But I've heard that tune before she says she's gotta be free
But I know that's not true and that's what's bothering me.

Anywhere you look it's everywhere and all around
It's the blues they keep singing lord
And it's bound to get you down
But the melody can move you in a way to ease the pain
And it won't be long before you're on your feet again
I'd be alright if she'd just make up her mind
I don't know why but I forgive her, time after time...

Everything I Need Lyrics – Clint Black

Everything I need all depends on you
Everything I want is everything you do
It's been handed down through time
It's really nothing new
Boy meets girl, I meet you
A love song that could never be untrue.

[Chorus:]
All I need is everyting I want
It's a fundamental greed
All I need is everything you flaunt
That's a language I can read
All I need is everything I want
And that makes you everything I need.

Everything I need is on my one-track mind
Everything I want is where I draw the line
I'll take all you've got to give
Spend up all your precious time
You can't undo the ties that bind
Or hide the moon that needs the sun to shine.

[Chorus:]
All I need is everyting I want
It's a fundamental greed
All I need is everything you flaunt
That's a language I can read
All I need is everything I want
And that makes you everything I need.

Everything I need can't get it on TV
Everything I need is absolutely free
Everything I need is pure biology
That will bring me to my bended knee
My craving you will sweetly torture me.

[Chorus:]
All I need is everyting I want
It's a fundamental greed
All I need is everything you flaunt
That's a language I can read
All I need is everything I want
And that makes you everything I need...

Spend My Time Lyrics – Clint Black

How can we know how far the long way can be
Looking from where we are it never seemed that long to me
I've many miles behind me, maybe not so much ahead
It seems I made good time with the directions I misread.

So I'm gonna spend my time like it's going out of style
I'm moving the bottom line farther than a country mile
I still have hills to climb before I hit that wall
No matter how much time I buy I could never spend it all.

Funny thing that time, we're always running out
I'm always losing mine, there's not enough of it about
And though it's always here it will always come and go
The days become the years that'll be gone before you know.

So I'm gonna spend my time like it's going out of style
I'm moving the bottom line better than a country mile
I still have hills to climb before I hit that wall.

I won't go quietly into that dark night
There'll be no more buring daylight
I'll be living in every moment that I'm in.

Oh, I'm gonna spend my time like it's going out of style
I'll only use what's mine, I've been saving for awhile
I still have hills to climb before I hit that wall
No matter how much time I buy I could never spend it all.

No matter how much time I buy I could never spend it all...

What Ever Happened Lyrics – Clint Black

Snow up on the mountains
Sun layn' low across the clouded sky
I've been feeding this fire for so long
The flame is gone
I could second guess the storm
Tell my heart to leave the warm
But I'll just stay inside
There's no way that I'll take any chances of my own
What if I get it wrong
Another season come and gone
Robin hardly sang her song
For too few summer skies
All the tourists barely even said goodbye
Back again
Now there's lovers all around
The sun might as well lay down
I don't need the light
It won't be my eyes
That tell me if they found
Fair weather friends

What ever happened to the change of seasons
What ever happened to all my reasons
To open up my heart and let it be
What ever happened to falling in love
What ever happened to me

Sun up on the mountains
Somebody said it happened yesterday
But I guess I can't remember back that far
Was not all there
But the sky was probably blue
Doesn't matter when to view
Depends on where you are
What kind of heart you might be looking through
Oh and if you care, tell me

What ever happened to the change of seasons
What ever happened to all my reasons
To open up my heart and let it be
What ever happened to falling in love
What ever happened to me eeee

What ever happened to the change of seasons
What ever happened to all my reasons
To open up my heart and let it be
What ever happened to falling in love

What ever happened to the change of seasons
What ever happened to aaall my reasons
Oooh just let it be
What ever happened to falling in love
What ever happened to me

Does anyone remember me?
What ever happened to falling in love
What ever happened to me
