While I Was Waiting

I thought about us
And all we’ve been through
And I found myself on a beach
Watching waves was all I could do
To keep from cussing out the stars
Cause I wasn’t sure you knew
I was all ready to apologize
While I was waiting there for you

I thought about us
And all the memories we shared
I saw a tiny dog in a girl’s arms
It looked so cold and scared
And I remembered the moment
I saw you sleeping in my car
After a night of heavy drinking
I couldn’t drive home from the bar

So we stayed there all night
We shared a blanket from the trunk
The next morning we got breakfast
And cause really bad, we stunk
I took you to your parents house
You took a steaming bath all alone
While I waited in your bedroom
And I saw a message on your phone

I thought about you
You had a right to be so upset
I invaded your private life that day
Then felt so much consuming regret
Then I saw you from a distance
You pulled up in your Pink VW bug
I was gonna say I was so so sorry
It turned out you had tried a drug

So we stayed there all night
Shared an afghan in the backseat
The next morning we got breakfast
Then I took you to your street
Cops were at your parents house
They had some unfortunate news
I chose to stop drinking forever
While I was waiting there for you

I chose to stop drinking forever
While I was waiting there for you

Meet-Cute

I used to be ungrateful
I wasn’t happy, I would yell
I expected others to see
Through the lies they’d tell

Then your eyes met mine
And straight away I knew
For the rest of my years
Right then
was our meet-cute
Right then
Was our meet-cute

You saw me for who I was
Underneath my shame
You saw my insecurities
You knew I played a game
Where I had all the answers
For everyone else but me
You knew deep in your heart
I wasn’t who I wanted to be

When your eyes met mine
And straight away you knew
For the rest of your years
Right then
was our meet-cute
Right then
Was our meet cute

Bridge:
I was colder than Alaska
I had icicles in my stare
You heated me with honesty
Just by being quietly there
My friends and family all
Gave up on me so fast
You gave me tender affection
Helped me get past my past

When your eyes met mine
It all came to me so clear
I had a vision of you and I
Overcoming our fears
For the rest of our years
We’d live our authentic truth
All because we had
A life changing meet-cute

Be My Partner In Crime

I was standing in line at a punk pop show
Waitin’ to order myself a can of PBR
When up came a girl in a Buzzcocks shirt
Who I recognized from the ride in my car

I Ubered her there and it was a fun talk
She said I should come watch her band
The music was loud & she said in my ear
“I wanna do more than hold your hand”

She said
Be my, be my, be my, be my partner in crime
She said
Be my, be my, be my, be my partner in crime
Partner in crime, Partner in crime
Be my, be my, be my, be my partner in crime

I said “ok, but I’ve gotta go home and pack
Do you want me to do that after the show?”
She said “Oh, that won’t be soon enough!”
In about a half an hour she was gonna go

I said “That’s fine, I’ll meet you outside
I don’t live too far away from this place”
Then she smiled and gave me a soft peck
But before I started my frantic race

I said
I’ll be, I’ll be, I’ll be, I’ll be your partner in crime
I said
I’ll be, I’ll be, I’ll be, I’ll be your partner in crime
Partner in crime, Partner in crime
I’ll be, I’ll be, I’ll be I’ll be your partner in crime

I got there and back just as fast as I could
But I couldn’t find that girl anywhere
But she gave me 5 stars and a big fat tip
And I thought to myself “That’s fair”

Then a band mate handed me a note from her
It said “Meet me at the airport, I will wait.”
But then I looked at the girl behind the bar
And I was blessed by a golden hand of fate

She said
Be my, be my, be my, be my partner in crime
She said,
Be my, be my, be my, be my partner in crime
Partner in crime, Partner in crime
Be my, be my, be my, be my partner in crime

I found out the next morning the singer died
On the chartered plane I nearly decided to take
Instead I ended up in bed with the bartender
In a cozy log cabin out at Bloomington Lake

Now we enjoy our life and what we’ve built
Yet I think about that night all the time
When I fell for two girls in the same place
Who fed me the same crazy pick up line

They said,
Be my, be my, be my, be my partner in crime
They said,
Be my, be my, be my, be my partner in crime
Partner in crime, Partner in crime
Be my, be my, be my, be my partner in crime

Just Your Turn

You got to know my Mom and Dad
Then they brought him back into view
He had come home from the service
And he remembered kissing you

Back at a house party in the 80’s
It was a night he never forgot
I remember he came home that night
And said you were totally hot

But now you’re both older
So much older than before
You blazed through other guys
But his heart was broken and sore
You might think he really loves you
There’s a lesson you could learn
He might never be yours, no
This is just your turn
Oh, he might never be yours, 
This is just your turn

Dad introduced you to her, bro
He once introduced a girl to me
She worked for him in Accounting
But she didn’t turn out to be

A one guy kind of woman
She shattered me one day in July
I found out my friend said to her
I was a one woman kind of guy

And now that we’re both older
So much older than before
She’s blazed through other men
My heart was broken and sore
I thought we had the real deal
But there’s a lesson I learned
I was never gonna be hers
It was just my turn
Oh, I was never gonna be hers
It was just my turn

So I see you now together
Holding hands and having fun
I don’t know if it will work out
One of you might cut and run

But I still must have faith in you
Maybe Dad opened an amazing door
Maybe you both deserve each other
God’s healing what was broken and sore
You’re both happy, that’s what matters
I hope you never have to learn
That you don’t belong with each other
And this is just your turn

Oh, I pray to heaven above,
For true love, it’s just your turn
Oh, I pray to heaven above,
For true love, it’s just your turn

Boys From Her Hometown

Verse 1:

When she met me I was wearin’ suits
coats, belts, shirts and silk ties
I dressed up to sell daily at my job
but it was a sudden surprise
After we got married, fancy got old
Keepin’ up with Joneses ain’t my style
I like my Dive Bar tees ‘n jeans
but that don’t make her smile

Chorus:

Cause I looked like all the boys
Oh, I’m like all those boys
All those rough ‘n rowdy boys
All those wild n’ crazy boys
The boys from her hometown

Verse 2:

When I asked her what was wrong
She said she missed the cleaner me
The one who’d buy nicer threads
Than guys who hang out at Denny’s
I said this is who I sincerely am
I’m no dandy, Ivy League or ritzy man
I’m an Aggie Blue Collar Country kid
Just doin’ the best I damned well can

Chorus:

But I look like all the boys
Oh, I act like all those boys
All those rough ‘n rowdy boys
All those wild n’ crazy boys
The boys from her hometown

Bridge:

Oh, she tried to avoid who they were
I think she just didn’t wanna get hurt
She’d likes me with a shaven face
Than one covered with scruff ‘n dirt
And I can’t help if I’m different than
My fancy brother with his luxury car
She’ll have to face the facts now
I love old cars and have a big heart

Verse 3:

She’s been disappointed and afraid
This is not the life she had in mind
She wishes we could go back to
When I was dressed up to the nines
Guess I’m not what she expected
But it should’ve been clear as day
I was much happier driving her around
In my cherry putt-putt Chevrolet

Chorus:

And looking like all the boys
Oh, I act like all those boys
All those rough ‘n rowdy boys
All those wild n’ crazy boys
The boys from my hometown

Who are all exactly like all
The boys from her hometown

The Truth About Me and You

When you learned the truth about me
Did you see what you thought I’d be
Did you have feelings inside
That you wouldn’t hide
Did you analyze what you could only see

When you learned the truth about you
Did your heart tell you it already knew
Did you really come clean
How you’ve been so mean
Did you recognize what we’ve been through

It’s unrelenting and unreal
What we do and how we feel
And there’s not much that can be done
When you can’t tell me how you are
On the beach, at home or in our car
You never know, it could be fun
More fun than keeping secrets
And telling it all to your close friends
Deeper than anything we’ll ever do
And oh, that’s the truth
Oh you know it’s the truth
That’s the truth about me and you

When you learned the truth about us
Did you ponder about it all, because
I thought about it night after night
How something could remain right
After all the wrong it always was

It’s unrelenting and unreal
What we do and how we feel
And there’s not much that can be done
When you can’t tell me how you are
On the couch, in bed or from afar
You never know, it could be fun
More fun than keeping secrets
And telling it all to your close friends
Deeper than anything we’ll ever do
And oh, that’s the truth
Oh you know it’s the truth
That’s the truth about me and you

The lies, the hurt, the pain
Disappear and come back again
They don’t stop and I am confused
If it’s my soul feeling out of control
And only the half of a whole
That doesn’t see we’re both abused

It’s unrelenting and unreal
What we do and how we feel
And there’s not much that can be done
When you can’t tell me how you are
On the beach, at home or in our car
You never know, it could be fun
More fun than keeping secrets
And telling it all to your close friends
Deeper than anything we’ll ever do
And oh, that’s the truth
Oh you know it’s the truth
That’s the truth about me and you
That’s the truth about me and you

That’s the truth about me and you.

Horse Loving Sweetheart

Told my horse loving sweetheart
It’s me or that goddamned thing
She looked at me square in the eyes
Then handed over her engagement ring

She said she’s loved me since she met me
But she’s known him so much longer
So she left me with my old pickup truck
and I’m feelin’ so free and stronger

Cause when you’re in a lovers quarrel
With your fiancé and a damned old horse
She’s got no choice but to stay loyal to
The one she loves more than life of course
No matter what you do
No matter what you say
He’s gonna take that girl away
‘Cause she’s a horse loving sweetheart
She’ll always be one come what may

So my horse loving ex-sweetheart
Met another who loved her so
They married out on the prairie
I was too proud and refused to go

But soon enough he was out of there
He was tired of being second fiddle
Truth is he should’ve known better
It’s not like some ol’ confusin’ riddle

Cause when you’re in a lovers quarrel
With your lady and a damned old horse
She’s got no choice but to stay loyal to
The one she loves more than life of course
No matter what you do
No matter what you say
He’s gonna take that gal away
‘Cause she’s a horse loving sweetheart
She’ll always be one come what may

Oh, she’s a horse loving sweetheart
She’ll always be one come what may

Back to Seascape

Remember when we took a holiday
Up the coast so you and I could play
And lay down on a blanket you bought
In a small town whose name I forgot

You wore a one piece under a cotton dress
I didn’t have a need for any more or less
My back got burned but you got a tan
You said you loved that I was your man

So take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back to Seascape
So we could be in love again
Take me back to Seascape
So we could be in love again

I was happier when you held me there
I would run my fingers through your hair
And we didn’t have much else to do
You cared for me, I deeply adored you

You wore a one piece under a cotton dress
I had no need for anything more or less
Your heart was open and so was mine
As we shared a bottle of raspberry wine

So take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back to Seascape
So we could be in love again
Take me back to Seascape
So we could be in love again

I cannot forget our passionate past
Dear, I cannot forget those days
When you and I took a break
Before you said I was a mistake

You wore a one piece under a cotton dress
I didn’t have a need for any more or less
My back got burned but you got a tan
You said you loved that I was your man

So take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back to Seascape
So we could be in love again
Take me back to Seascape
So we could be in love again

He Doesn’t Know

If you believe leaving me with him
Will solve your problems, think again
I drink like a guppy but he’s a shark
He smelled your blood and he went all in

He saw your brand name clothes and
That flashy sports car you drive
You poor cash, poor preppy girl
Sweetie, he’s gonna eat you up alive

He doesn’t know you don’t have the coin
He doesn’t know the club he can’t join
He doesn’t know I’m the bread maker
I know he’s a con artist and a taker

What the hell did you tell him anyway
I wish I could sit down with him and say
You’ll leave him like you are leaving me
Don’t men ever learn from telling historys

He doesn’t know you don’t have the coin
He doesn’t know the club, he can’t join
He doesn’t know I’m the real bread maker
And you’re a con artist, a ruthless taker

Good luck sweetheart I wish you the best
I’m sorry I failed your sneaky little test
I’m not sorry for spending money on you
How could I know there’s little I could do

He doesn’t know you don’t own anything
Or that’s really a cubic zirconia ring
He doesn’t I’m the real bread maker
And you’re a cheat, a liar and a faker

But I’d do it all over again
I’d be with you again
Yeah, I’d do it all over again
Just come stay with me again
Just come be with me again
Just come be with me again
Come be with me again

Come be with me again
