randy houser - anything goes

Normally this time of night,
You wouldn't find me here
I'd be reaching for a good night kiss,
Instead of one more beer.

I'd never take a second look,
At the blond across the bar
Much less invite her over,
And let things go this far.

But anything goes,
When everything's gone
You ain't around to give a damn,
Whether I do right or wrong
So bring it on,
Anything goes,
When everything's gone.

Another morning after,
A crazy night before
I'm searching for my blue jeans,
On the stranger's bedroom floor.

Shouldn't I feel guilty?
Well, I don't feel a thing
I'd wake her up and say good bye,
But I can't recall her name.

Anything goes,
When everything's gone.
You ain't around to give a damn,
Whether I do right or wrong
So bring it on,
Anything goes,
When everything's gone

If you'd a left a single thread,
For me to hold on to
I'd have one good reason,
Not to do the things I do.

But anything goes,
When everything's gone
You ain't around to give a damn,
Whether I do right or wrong
So bring it on,
Anything goes,
When everything's gone
Anything goes,
Anything goes,
When everything's gone.

randy houser - how country feels

You were raised on an asphalt farm
Ain't never heard a rooster crow
Never walked barefoot by a river
Felt the mud up between your toes

You never rolled in the hay
You never thrown it in four wheel
Climb up on here girl
Let me show you how country feels

Let your hair down, hair down
Get you some of this laid on back
Kick your shoes off, kick 'em off
Get you some of this slow down fast
I'll take you up and down these hollers and hills
Let me show you how country feels

You ever watched the sun go down
From the bed of a pickup truck
Ever been so into somebody
You're still lying there when it comes back up

Girl what do you say?
Cut a path through that cornfield
Park down by the water
Let me show you how country feels

Let your hair down, hair down
Get you some of this laid on back
Kick your shoes off, kick 'em off
Get you some of this slow down fast
I'll take you up and down these hollers and hills
Let me show you how country feels

Let your hair down
Get you some of this laid on back
Kick your shoes off (Kick your shoes off)

Let your hair down, hair down
Get you some of this laid on back
Kick your shoes off, kick 'em off
Get you some of this slow down fast
I'll take you up and down these hollers and hills
Let me show you how country feels
Country feels

randy houser - runnin outta moonlight

Don't you worry 'bout gettin' fixed up
When you wake up, you're pretty enough
Look out your window at the cloud of dust
That's my headlights, that's my truck

Come on baby, don't you keep me waitin'
I gotta go, I've got a reservation
Tailgate for two underneath the stars
Kiss on your lips when you're in my arms

Whoa
Girl, every now and then you get a night like this
Whoa
This is one that we don't wanna miss, no

Come on baby let me take you on a night ride
Windows down, sittin' on my side
Tick tock now we're knocking on midnight
Me and you girl runnin' outta moonlight
I wanna hold you till the break of dawn
Hear the crickets sing a riverside love song
Hey baby, all we got is all night
Come on now we're runnin' outta moonlight

Girl I bet you thought I lost my mind
Outta the blue pulling into your drive
Wonder why I got you way out here
Have you ever seen a sky this clear

Whoa
Girl, you never look better than you do right now
Whoa
Oh heaven, let your light shine down

Come on baby let me take you on a night ride
Windows down, sittin' on my side
Tick tock now we're knocking on midnight
Me and you girl runnin' outta moonlight
I wanna hold you till the break of dawn
Hear the crickets sing a riverside love song
Hey baby, all we got is all night
Come on now we're runnin' outta moonlight

Whoa
Girl, every now and then you get a night like this
Whoa
This is one that we don't wanna miss, no

Come on baby let me take you on a night ride
Windows down, sittin' on my side
Tick tock now we're knocking on midnight
Me and you girl runnin' outta moonlight
I wanna hold you till the break of dawn
Hear the crickets sing a riverside love song
Hey baby, all we got is all night
Come on now we're runnin' outta moonlight

Hey baby don't it feel so right
Come on now we're runnin' outta moonlight
All I wanna do is hold you tight
Come on, come on, come on we're runnin' outta moonlight

Whoa
Yea we're runnin' outta moonlight
Whoa

randy houser - boots on

Man, I've been workin too hard
Ten hour days and I'm tired
Damn this knuckle busted',
back breakin', no paying job
Know where I'm goin from here
Hot headed women, cold beer
Kick up my heels for a little while
and do it country style

[Chorus]
In my dirty 'ole hat
with my crooked little grin
Granny beaded neck
and these calloused hands
And a muddy pair of jeans
with that copenhagen ring
No need to change a thing, hey y'all
I'm going out with my boots on

How I keep catching her eye
Man, I keep wondering why
Ain't nothing special 'bout
an "awe shucks" country boy
Lord, she's sure lookin' good
Like something from Hollywood
She got me thinkin' that I just might
leave here with her tonight

[Chorus]

'Cause I am who I am and that's
the man I'm gonna be, yeah
And when the Lord comes callin',
well, he ain't gonna have
to holler, y'all
There'll be no trouble finding me

[Chorus]

With my boots on
He's gonna take me home
Lord, with my boots on

randy houser - goodnight kiss

Girl I finally got you up in the seat of my old truck
And I bet you're wonderin' what we're gonna do
We could hit the county line, hell we do that all the time
Tell you what, if you don't mind, we could start with something new
Instead of waiting like we used to do

Let's start it with a goodnight kiss, my lips, your lips,
Baby let's just keep gettin' there
Let's start it with a long goodbye, get wrapped up tight
Let's spend all night right here
Let's start it with a goodnight kiss

I know that you told all your friends we were meetin' up with them
I can call 'em all again and tell 'em we ain't coming
Let me find a little spot, let me throw this thing in park
Let me light that little spark that gets you going like you do
Just tell me that you want to

Start it with a goodnight kiss, my lips, your lips,
Baby let's just keep gettin' there
Let's start it with a long goodbye, get wrapped up tight
Let's spend all night right here
Let's start it with a goodnight kiss
Let's start it with a goodnight kiss

I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait
Let's start it with a goodnight kiss,
My lips, your lips

Let's start it with a goodnight kiss, my lips, your lips,
Baby let's just keep gettin' there
Let's start it with a long goodbye, get wrapped up tight
Let's spend all night right here
Let's start it with a goodnight kiss
Let's start it with a goodnight kiss

I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait

randy houser - we went

Black pontiac with a pocket of cash
Foot on the gas ready and throwing up a little dust
Like a pick up truck does in the mud
but ain't nobody slowing' us down right now

She said I need a little something
with some get up and go
And nobody knows how to get me going
Quite like you do when you doin' the things that you do
Wanna give this sleepy podunk town
something to talk about

We went taillights fading from some blue lights chasing
Cut a path through the corn off County Road 44
Tore up a fence, jumped in a ditch, felt so good
We didn't want it to end so we went

Looking for a dive just to kill some time
Let the heat cool off we could do us some dancin'
Didn't take long, just a couple of songs
You know it's last call when the law comes walkin' in

So we went taillights fading
from some blue lights chasing
Cut a path through the corn off County Road 44
Tore up a fence, jumped in a ditch, felt so good
We didn't want it to end so we went

Rocking to the radio, fogging up the windows
Headlights off In a spot nobody else knows

We went taillights fading from some blue lights chasing
Cut a path through the corn off County Road 44
Tore up a fence, jumped in a ditch, felt so good
We didn't want it to end

Black pontiac with a pocket of cash
Foot on the gas ready and throwing up a little of dust
Like a pick up truck does in the mud
but ain't nobody slowing' us down right now

randy houser - no stone unturned

I made it up to Nashville, played the part
I took a broken guitar through the heart
And I chased a girl to New Orleans
She lit me up on Bourbon Street
So I headed up to Memphis on a train
Got sidetracked in the Mississippi rain
Picked up a case of delta blues
Then I washed it down with Tennessee booze
There ain't no grass gonna grow up under my feet
No tellin' where I might be
I can always find one hell of a time
While I'm out here lookin' for me
No stone unturned
No turn un-stoned
Well Colorado put me in the clouds
I still don't think my feet have touched the ground
And I sat the night on fire out in L. A
Hell, I'm just glad nobody knew my name
Well there ain't no grass gonna grow up under my feet
No tellin' where I might be
I can always find one hell of a time
While I'm out here lookin' for me
No stone unturned, no turn un-stoned
I'm drawn to the chaos and the wind
Can't help but take a look now and then
And one day I'll prob'ly settle down
But there's still a lotta lost to be found
Well there ain't no grass gonna grow up under my feet
No tellin' where I might be
I can always find one hell of a time
While I'm out here lookin' for me
No stone unturned
No turn un-stoned
No stone unturned
No turn un-stoned

randy houser - country round here tonight

Everybody knows that down at ol Joe s
He s icing them long necks down
Dusting them stools off, racking them pool balls

Little later on, when the sun gets gone
Gonna be a crowd neath the neon lights
It won t be long til the good time s on

For all them boys in the fields making dollar bills
Stacking that hay up high

Getting through the day, hell, they just can t wait
To congregate around a cold beer sign
Tie one on to a jukebox song
Bout to get country round here tonight

There s a backed up line of four wheel drives
Filling up the parking lot
This little bar they call a hole in the wall
Is everybody s favorite spot
There s a sawdust floor waiting on the door
To swing wide open, let us all inside

Bout to get country round here tonight

For all them boys in the fields making dollar bills
Stacking that hay up high
All them girls in the sand working on their tans

Bout to get country round here tonight

So let that Crown and a cold beer pour
Honky-tonks and Friday nights are for

All them boys in the fields making dollar bills
Stacking that hay up high
All them girls in the sand working on their tans
Down by the riverside
Getting through the day, hell, they just can t wait
To congregate round a cold beer sign
Tie one on to a jukebox song
Bout to get country round here tonight

It won t be long til the good time s on
Bout to get country round here tonight

randy houser - rub a little dirt on it

I heard it the first time I skinned my knee
Daddy said, Don t be scared to bleed
Years later from a football coach
Took a hit, couldn t quit
It was fourth and goal
We didn t win that game, but the lesson learned
You gotta shake off them scrapes and burns
When the world don t turn your way
Sometimes all you can say

Is rub a little dirt on it
Shake the dust right outta your mind
Let a cool breeze work on it
Ya feel the healing comin on right on time
Crack a six-pack open
Somewhere under an open sky
When life gets a little hurt on it
Get in the middle of nowhere
And rub a little dirt on it

Nothing knocks the cobwebs off your soul
Like some spiderwire on a fishing pole
It ll take your breath
Takin in a sunset from a flat bottom boat
That heavy load lyin on your chest
Got your mind all twisted up in a mess
When life scatters all your stuff
Sometimes to clean it up

You gotta rub a little dirt on it
Shake the dust right outta your mind
Let a cool breeze work on it
Ya feel the healing comin on right on time
Crack a six-pack open
Somewhere under an open sky
When life gets a little hurt on it
Get in the middle of nowhere
And rub a little dirt on it
Rub a little dirt on it
Crack a six-pack open
Somewhere under an open sky
When life gets a little hurt on it
Get in the middle of nowhere
And rub a little dirt on it
Yeah, rub a little dirt on it

I heard it the first time I skinned my knee
Daddy said, Don t be scared to bleed
Yeah

randy houser - american dreamer

There s a little white church with a clapboard sign
Says, Jesus could save you if you could come inside
There s a bar on the square where we d all like to go
Where the only neon on says closed
There s a little pink house just over the hill
A kitchen full of kids and a table full of bills
There s a man in his chair
says, They closed down the mill
But he s drinkin like the devil and prayin like hell

He says, I m an American dreamer
I m proud of who I am
I break my back, I bust my ass
I work with these two hands
Just like my father s father
I d die for my son to be
An American dreamer
Just like me

Somewhere out there, there s a boy and a girl
Stuck on the other side of the world
Dreamin about the land of the free
Oh, but someday, they ll be just like me

Cause I m an American dreamer
I m proud of who I am
I break my back, I bust my ass
I fight with these two hands
Just like my father s father
I d die for my son to be
An American dreamer
Just like me

Yeah, just like me
Oh
Yeah, just like me
Yeah

There s a little white church with a clapboard sign
Says, Jesus could save you if you could come inside

randy houser - call me

3 AM is the loneliest hour when we re fightin
Sometimes nothin speaks any louder than silence
So blame me, shame me, hate me, break me

randy houser - note to self

Note to self
A truck only goes so far on half a tank
That credit card ain t money in the bank
If it don t sound like a good idea it probably ain t

Note to self
You can t change a way she s gonna change her mind
She might love you but she won t like you all the time
Stead of taking her for granted take her somewhere nice
Note to self

Love ain t diamond rings
Bigger don t always mean better
The grass ain t always green
Money don t grow on trees ever
Can t make somebody be made for ya
God ain t gonna do the praying for ya
Whiskey s best left up there on a shelf

Note to self
Some girls say goodbye and mean goodbye
It don t mean that she don t hurt and she don t cry
You re gonna wish she woulda
When she tells you she don t wanna fight
Note to self

Love ain t diamond rings
Bigger don t always mean better
The grass ain t always green
Money don t grow on trees ever
Can t make somebody be made for ya
God ain t gonna do the praying for ya
Whiskey s best left up there on a shelf
Note to self

I shoulda kept it in my pocket
I shoulda known it from the start
I shoulda read it every morning
Shoulda wrote it on my heart

Love ain t diamond rings
Bigger don t always mean better
The grass ain t always green
Money don t grow on trees ever
Can t make somebody be made for ya
God ain t gonna do the praying for ya
Whiskey s best left up there on a shelf
You re gonna have to find the answers somewhere else
Note to self

randy houser - remember how to pray

Our hands were folded, eight-years-old
Heads were bowed and eyes were closed
Just as I am, soft and low
The invitation hittin close to home

Yeah, and just like it was yesterday
I hear ol pastor Billy say
To get to Heaven, there s just one way
So I walked down the front and I got saved
And I still remember how to pray

At round about seventeen
You couldn t tell me anything
I hit the road to chase a dream
To say the least, times were lean

Tip jars, empty bars
Backseat sleepin , beat-up cars
Livin fast and runnin hard
But even in the mix of messes made
I still remember how to pray

Forgive me, I know I m not perfect
But Heaven knows I know someone who was
And sometimes when everything is workin
I look up and thank Him just because
Sometimes, I forget and that s okay
I still remember how to pray

Yeah, there s a lot of faces and places
That my memory can t recall
Some disappear in phases and stages
And some don t disappear at all

Forgive me, I know I m not perfect
But Heaven knows I know someone who was
And sometimes when everything is workin
I look up and thank Him just because
Sometimes, I forget and that s okay
Yeah, every now and then, I lose my way
But I still remember how to pray

Well, now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
Pray the Lord my soul to take
I still remember how to pray
How to pray
