Don't be fooled! The lyrics may not seem straighted ''A'' as they say or the correct structure as some say a song should be, but don't cut them short they can & will sound HOT .... with the right people workin with them I have no doubt.

Hey cowboy© Stephanie Ankner
I’m in lust with a cowboy,
A man I don’t even know.
I’ve only ever seen him before,
With his country boy glow.
We’ve never even talked,
But he’s surely smiles my way.
He’s looked a million times into my eyes,
And each time, I wish I had the courage to say.
Chorus
Hey there cowboy,
What’s your name?
Are you already taken?
(why)You keep coming round my way.
OOOOh
With your rugged good looks, and
Your (sweet) handsome smile.
Your eyes are killing me cowboy,
With your rustic wrangler style.
So..Hey there cowboy,
What’s your name?
Are you already taken?
(why)You keep coming round my way.
Hey there cowboy, Hey there cowbot
Now I’m not quit sure,
How much more I can take.
I need to know your situation
For heaven’s sake (and)
I know it might not be of the norm,
(and) I don’t wanna step on any toes.
But if you out there looking cowboy
Hey…You need to let me know !
Chorus
Hey there cowboy,
What’s your name?
Are you already taken,
(Why )You keep coming round my way.
OOOOh
With your rugged good looks, and
Your (sweet )handsome smile.
Your eyes are killing me cowboy,
With your rustic wrangler style.
Has anyone got a claim on you
Or can I place my claim
Cuz I’m lusting badlyfor you cowboy
And I still don’t even know ya name…
I’m willing to get to know you
If your willing to keep coming round my way
Cuz I finally built up the courage
To say
Chorus
Hey there cowboy,
What’s your name?
Are you already taken,
(Why )You keep coming round my way.
OOOOh
With your rugged good looks, and
Your (sweet )handsome smile.
Your eyes are killing me cowboy,
With your rustic wrangler style.

Who would have thought
Vs1
She was my best friend since elementary
The one who laughed at everything I said .
the one who'd play hide and go seek., is
the one I can't get out of my head.
Vs-2
She was the one who always picked me
couldn't separated us if you tried
We always played on the same team.
so we could be by each other's side
We were closer the two kids could ever be
there was no one closer to me, (oh no, no one closer to me)
(Chorus)
Who would have thought,
I’d grow up to see her in a new light
Instead of being the same old best friends
She’s now the love of my life..
ohh
Who would have thought,
Vs-3
She has always made me happy
Every day of my life
From grade school to College
Morning noon and night.
vs-4
It’s so amazing when we are kids
We don’t ever realize,
These friendships we make now
Are the people who will always be in our life.
We were closer the two kids could ever be
there was no one closer to me, (oh no, no one closer to me)
(Chorus)
Who would have thought,
I’d grow up to see her in a new light
Instead of being the same old best friends
She’s now the love of my life..
ohh
Who would have thought,

YOU TAUGHT ME
I WAS IN THE NINETH GRADE WHEN I MET YOU
I FELL SO HARD BUT I WASN’T WHAT YOU WANTED
YOU HAD BETTER THINGS TO DO.
YOU BROKE IT OFF AND WENT ON YOUR WAY
HURT LIKE HELL. I STILL FEEL IT TO THIS DAY.
I STILL FEEL IT TO THIS DAY.
THE FIRST PERSON I LOVED
IS THE ONE WHO DID ME WRONG.
SHUT ME OUT FROM HIS WORLD.
HE NEW I WASN’T THAT STRONG.
I COULDN’T HELP BUT CRY SO HARD
YOU WOUNDED MY HEART AND LEFT ME SO SCAR’D
(BRIDGE)
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR MY FUTURE
INSTEAD OF BLAMING YOU FOR THE PAST.
I HAVE LOVE IN MY LIFE THAT’S GONNA LAST.
(CHORUS)
YOU TAUGHT ME WHAT ITS LIKE TO LOVE AND TO LOOSE
YOU TAUGHT ME THAT A HEART CAN BREAK AND SING THE BLUES
MOST IMPORTANTLY YOU TAUGHT ME A LIFELONG LESSON
THAT HAVING A BROKEN HEART COULD BE A BLESSING.
I NEVER WANTED TO LOVE AGAIN. DIDN’T WANT TO BE HURT
THEN I MET THIS NEW FRIEND AND HE STARTED TO FLIRT.
I COULDN’T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED; MY HEART HAD FOUND NEW LOVE.
NEVER EXPECTED THIS MIRACLE TO BE SENT FROM ABOVE.
BRIDGE & CHORUS
I’M GLAD THAT YOU DID HURT ME, THOUGH IT SOUNDS SO EXTREME.
IF YOU NEVER BROKE MY HEART, I WOULD HAVE NEVER MET MY DREAM
HE TAKES SUCH GOOD CARE OF ME. MY HEART DON’T SING THE BLUES.
I’VE GOT SUCH A GREAT LIFE AND A LOVE THAT’S SO TRUE,
SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU!
BRIDGE & CHORUS

DRIVING DOWN LIFE’S
GOT A HALF A TANK OF GAS
THINGS DON’T SEEM TO BE GOING MY WAY.
NOT SURE HOW LONG OR IF I’M GONNA LAST.
NOT SURE OF WHERE I’M GOING
NOT SURE WHERE I’LL END
JUST GOTTA KEEP ON DRIVING
TIL I FIND YOU MY FRIEND
GOT THE RADIO ON
LISTENING TO SOME OLD TIME TUNES.
JUST GAZING AT THE SKY
TRYING TO FIND YOU.
MEMORIES OF A DISTANT PAST
WHERE I HELD YOU SO CLOSE.
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHY IT WAS YOUR TIME TO GO.
(chorus)
I COULDN’T HAVE PRAYED FOR ANYTHING BETTER
WHAT YOUR LOVE DID TO ME MY HEART WILL ALWAYS TREASURE.
I WAS BLESSED TO HAVE YOU IN MY LIFE
EVEN IF ONLY FOR A SHORT WHILE
TO CALL YOU MY ANGEL, TO CALL YOU MY WIFE.
I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY
THE GOOD ONES GO FIRST.
TRYING TO MAKE SOME SENSE OF IT
CUZ MY HEART STILL REALLY HURTS.
NOT SURE ABOUT MY LIFE
OR WHERE IT’LL TAKE ME
I JUST THANK THE GOOD LORD EVERYDAY
FOR YOUR LOVE HE GAVE ME
(chorus)
I COULDN’T HAVE PRAYED FOR ANYTHING BETTER
WHAT YOUR LOVE DID TO ME MY HEART WILL ALWAYS TREASURE.
I WAS BLESSED TO HAVE YOU IN MY LIFE
EVEN IF ONLY FOR A SHORT WHILE
TO CALL YOU MY ANGEL, TO CALL YOU MY WIFE.
I SURE DO MISS THE LOVE THAT WE SHARED
WISH I COULD HAVE IT ALL BACK AGAIN.
IF THINGS COULD BE DIFFERENT
I’D STILL BE HOLDING YOU MY FRIEND.
I NEED TO FIND THE PLACE WHERE I BELONG
NOW THAT MY HEART IS BROKEN
AND THE LOVE OF MY LIFE IS GONE
I DON’T KNOW WHERE I AM GOING
AND ONLY GOD KNOWS WHERE I BEEN
GOTTA KEEP ON DRIVING
TIL I AM WITH YOU AGAIN
(chorus)
I COULDN’T HAVE PRAYED FOR ANYTHING BETTER
WHAT YOUR LOVE DID TO ME MY HEART WILL ALWAYS TREASURE.
I WAS BLESSED TO HAVE YOU IN MY LIFE
EVEN IF ONLY FOR A SHORT WHILE
TO CALL YOU MY ANGEL, TO CALL YOU MY WIFE.
I’M
JUST TO FIND YOU AGAIN
GOTTA KEEP ON DRIVING
TIL I FIND THE END

MY DADDY
I WAS BORN TO A MOMMA THAT JUST DIDN’T CARE
GREW UP LIVIN WITH MY DADDY WHO WAS NEVER THERE.
I SPENT MOST OF MY TIME ALL ALONE
DREAMIN OF THE DAY
I CAN LEAVE MY DADDY’S HOME.
I NEVER WONDERED WHERE HE WAS OR WHEN HE’D BE HOME
DIDN’T BOTHER TO ASK I WAS USE TO BEING ALONE.
DADDY WOULD SAY SON
I’LL BE HOME AROUND TEN
GET YOURSELF SOME DINNER
AND GET YOURSELF TO BED.
I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY MY DADDY ALWAYS LIED.
HE NEVER MADE IT BACK HOME, HE WAS NEVER ON TIME.
WHAT HE WOULD DO ALL THEM HOURS
ALWAYS GOT ME THINKING
HE’D COME HOME SMELLING LIKE ALCHOL
AFTER A GOOD NIGHT OF DRINKING..
MY DADDY REALLY NEVER SPOKE TO ME
NEVER HAD MUCH TO SAY.
HE STILL BLAMES ME WHY MY MOMMA RAN AWAY.
IT WAS NOT MY FAULT SHE DIDN’T WANT TO STAY
SHE WAS DONE WITH MY DADDY AND JUST LEFT ONE DAY.
MOMMA SAID SHE’D COME BACK FOR ME
TOLD ME NOT TO CRY
BUT ITS BEEN SEVEN YEARS NOW SINCE
MOMMA SAID GOODBYE.
I CAN’T REALLY BLAME HER
CAUSE DADDY WAS NEVER THERE.
HE’S TO BUSY WITH HIS DRINKING TO
SHOW MOMMA HE CARED.
HE HAS NO TIME FOR ME AND THAT’S OK
I BEEN ALONE ALL MY LIFE WITH
DADDY HAVIN NOTHING TO SAY.
HE CAN GO ON WITH HIS LIFE
THAT’S JUST FINE WITH ME.
ITS LIKE I WAS NEVER HERE
THE SON HE NEVER SEEN.
MY MOMMA NEVER CAME FOR ME
EVEN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS
NEVER BOTHERED TO WONDER
WAS MY DADDY THERE FOR ME.
I’VE SINCE GROWN AND GOT A WIFE OF MY OWN
GOT SOME CHILDREN I LOVE
THAT I’D NEVER LEAVE ALONE.
I’VE LEARNED A GREAT LESSON
FROM MY DADDY ALL THOSE YEARS
NEVER TAKE FOR GRANTED WHAT YOU HAVE
NO MATTER HOW IT APPEARS.
MY MOMMY STILL I HAVE NEVER SEEN
SHE SIMPLY FORGOT TO COME BACK
JUST LIKE SHE PROMISE ME.

NOTHING BUT THE BEST
When I was just a young boy
Barely in my teens
I was livening in
Didn’t have any dreams
Life was such a struggle
Didn’t have much of a childhood.
Had hand me downs
From brother to brother
Barely had any toys,
Cuz there was no room for the clutter.
We lived in a four room house
Just trying to make ends meet.
(chorus)
I wasn’t sure what the future held for me
There wasn’t much of anything as far as I could see.
Didn’t have no money, my family was so poor.
All we had was each other and yet
we could not ask for more
Oh No we could no ask for more.
My daddy worked long hard hours
Just so the family could eat
We never really did get to see him
And he never got to sleep
remember hearing my momma,
She’d cry every night.
Heard her pray to the lord
to make everything alright.
She was strongest person I ever known,
The glue that kept us always together
No matter what life threw at us ,
Momma always made it better
She made that clear to us ,
And made sure we understood
“You have to work hard for a living
that’s the only thing you could do”
(chorus)
I wasn’t sure what the future held for me
There wasn’t much of anything as far as I could see.
Didn’t have no money, my family was poor.
All we had was each other and yet
we could not ask for more
Oh No we could no ask for more.
I can remember just how hard it was ,
Oh .. the life we lived
I wish I could have done something,
But I was the youngest of for kids.
Momma and Daddy struggled all their lives
Seems like they never got to rest
They did it all for me and my brothers , to have nothing but the best.
We didn’t have back then what our family’s got today
but that’s the lesson for us all To be thankful each and everyday

NOTHING BUT THE BEST (W/O CHORUS)
When I was just a young boy, Barely in my teens.
I was livening in
Mom and dad tried to give us the best they could.
Life was such a struggle, didn’t have much of a childhood.
Had hand me downs from brother to brother
Barely had any toys, there was no room for the clutter.
We lived in a four room house just trying to make ends meet.
My daddy worked long hard hours just so the family could eat.
I could remember hearing my momma cry every night
I heard her pray to the lord to make everything alright.
She was strongest person I ever known, the glue that kept us together
No matter what life threw at us my momma always made it better.
My daddy never really, knew what went on
He was never at home; he had to work three jobs.
Sometimes it would be days before we seen his face
He was just to busy with work to stay in one place.
I am sure though my daddy would have been there if he could
He always made that clear to us and made sure we understood
You have to work hard for a living that’s the only thing to do
To make sure your family is taken care of and has enough food.
I would of loved to seen my daddy so much more
But life was so tough and our family was so poor.
There were times at night that I would cry to
I tried to be really quite so momma never knew.
I didn’t want to upset her and cause her more pain
Her heart is already broken and feels so ashamed.
She missed my daddy you can see it in her eyes
She felt so alone you can tell by her cries.
She wanted to give us a better life,
A life that we deserve
But that path was to rocky and was so full of curves
I can remember just how hard my momma and daddy lived
I wish I could have done something then but I was only a kid.
They struggled all their lives and never got to rest
They did it all for me and my brothers to have nothing but the best.
We didn’t have back then what our family’s got today
but that’s the lesson for us all To be thankful each and everyday

ONE MORE ROUND
One More Round
Verse 1
I've said it all before
and I'll say it again.
Our love cannot be cured.
My heart can not mend.
Can't forget your cheatin'.
Won't forgive your lies.
You were so misleadin'.
Now it's time we say goodbye.
Chorus:
Cause you're all out of time.
I've spent to many years
trying to do what's right,
and I've cried to many tears.
So I'm given up on love,
I'm throwing in the towel.
cause I'm not strong enough
to fight one more round.
Verse 2
We could never be
what we once were.
You threw that all away
Now the tides have turned..
There is no more us.
There will never be.
You gave that all up.
Now it's time for you to leave.
(Repeat Chorus)
Ending Chorus:
I'm sitting at the bar tonight
thinking of those years
I spent trying to do what's right
and how I cried all those tears.
So here goes my toast to love
I've thrown in the towel.
Yeah I'm giving up.
Bartender, one more round

Personal Ad
Vs-1
Took out an ad in the
Accidentally checked Looking for Couples.
It was the biggest mistake that I ever made
Tried to have them fix it but they said it’s too late.
Vs-2
The papers only published every thirty days.
What I am gonna do, I had them publish my name
Hope no one notices or thinks that I’m prey.
The guys down at the bar will never let me explain.
(Pre chorus)
Who could blame them it sure seems like a lame story
I hope these 30 days pass by for me in a hurry.
(Chorus)
Better know what you’re doing, when you use a personal ad,
Check what you have done, and then do it again
Could never be too sure... that everything is correct
Take me for example, I know the effect.
Still... I Never thought it was gonna be this bad
Looking for love in a personal ad.
Vs-3
My ad sure has got me a lot of attention,
Mailbox has reached its limit.
Six different couples wanting my affection,
Seems I got a new one every three minutes.
Vs-4
Not sure what I am gonna say to these couples
Their expecting some kind of call back
Ain’t trying to get anyone’s feathers in a ruffle
Cuz I am not interested ... going down that path
(Pre chorus)
Just trying to find myself a nice wholesome Girl
I figured I’d take a chance with the personals
(Chorus)
Better know what you’re doing, when you use a personal ad,
Check what you have done, and then do it again
Could never be too sure... that everything is correct
Take me for example, I know the effect.
Still... I Never thought it was gonna be this bad
Looking for love in a personal ad.

Redneck Pride
Vs-1
Being a true blooded redneck
Is just fine by me.
I’m proud to stand with honor
For the whole world to see
I ain’t got no problem being a hick
Cuz I love my life and I love my Buick
Vs-2
I’m proud of my farm boy roots
Just a simple country boy
Wearing my wranglers and cowboy boots.
….I don’t mind the way that I walk and talk
Ain’t got much time to think about it
Cuz I spend most of my time with my livestock.
(Pre Chorus)
I sure am always busy, but that’s how a redneck wants to be
I know what’s need and I honor my priorities
(Chorus)
I GOT … REDNECK PRIDE
I don’t need to fit into your customs,
Just so that I ‘m liked.
I’m a gonna be who I am
I’m a redneck and I won’t deny
I’ll do what ever fits me best
In my heart I know I’ve be blessed
Cuz..I GOT… REDNECK PRIDE
Vs-3
I might not got not much of a education
But I can surely work on a car.
I can put it right up on the blocks
And have the engine rebuilt by six o’clock
I can run my family farm with my eyes closed
