listen  "Midnight Sun" by Garth Brooks (Jerrod Lee Niemann/Richie Brown/Garth Brooks)

Intro

lyrics
Ain't no hay left on the ground
Gonna join the sun in sittin' down
My last bail and well, my tail is draggin'
Cotton shirt, cotton mouth
Cold ones waitin' at the house
It's time for me to get down off the wagon

1st Chorus

Hose me down and dress me up
Fire up that ol' pickup truck
Out the gate and let them horses run
A jukebox and swingin' doors
Soft and pretties on a hardwood floor
A cowboy's work just ain't never done
In the land of the midnight sun

1st Verse

Find a looker, have her hold my keys
And tell her later we'll be needin' these
Grab a cold one, turn it upside down
To that honky tonkin' sound

2nd Chorus

Hose me down and dress me up
Fire up that ol' pickup truck
Out the gate and let them horses run
'Cause eight o'clock comes twice a day
And either way you'll find me chasin' strays
A cowboy's work just ain't never done
In the land of the midnight sun

2nd Verse

Shoot the breeze while shootin' pool
Dance 'til you're sweatin' like a rented mule
Gettin' loud with all my cowboy friends
The party never ends

3rd Chorus

So hose me down and dress me up
Fire up that ol' pickup truck
Out the gate and let them horses run
Looky there who waits for me
Smilin' sweetly, holdin' up my keys
A cowboy's work just ain't never done, no
In the land of the midnight sun
In the land of the midnight sun



listen  "More Than A Memory" by Garth Brooks (Lee Brice/Chris Jacobs/Billy Montana)

1st Verse

People say she's only in my head
It's gonna take time, but I'll forget
They say I need to get on with my life
They don't realize

1st Chorus

Is when you're dialin' (six numbers) (her number)
Just to hang up the phone
Drivin' 'cross town just to see if she's home
Wakin' a friend in the dead of night
Just to hear him say it's gonna be alright
When you find the things to do not to fall asleep
'Cause you know (she'll be there) (she's waiting) in your dreams
That's when she's more than a memory

2nd Verse

Took a match to everything she ever wrote
Watched her words go up in smoke
Tore all the pictures off the wall
That ain't helpin' me at all

2nd Chorus

'Cause when you're talkin' out loud, but nobody's there
You look like hell, and you just don't care
Drinkin' more than you ever drank
Sinkin' down lower than you ever sank
When you find yourself fallin' down upon your knees
Prayin' to God, beggin' Him please
That's when she's more than a memory
She's more, she's more

(Repeat 1st Chorus)

People say she's only in my head
It's gonna take time, but I'll forget



listen  "That Girl Is A Cowboy" by Garth Brooks (Jerrod Lee Niemann/Richie Brown/Garth Brooks)

1st Verse

It was a hundred and seven
We were headin' to town
She had her sleeves rolled up
And the windows rolled down
Ooh, that girl is a cowboy
Robert Earl was singin' out
The 'Buckin' Song'
With every word that Keen was bringin'
She was singin' along
Ooh, that girl is a cowboy

Chorus

(And) sometimes the best cowboys
Ain't cowboys at all
She's got my back
Even when it's against the wall
When I need a friend
Well, she's the guy I call
'Cause sometimes the best cowboys
Ain't cowboys at all

2nd Verse

So I took her out to show her
How to rope and ride
Can't believe that it was me
That wound up broke and tied
Ooh, that girl is a cowboy
So that night, well, I decided
We should paint the town
I made it home
Although I really don't remember how
Ooh, that girl is a cowboy

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

There's just somethin' that a cowgirl has
Ain't no cowboy's got
Man, she's somethin'
When she's one of the boys
But somethin' else
Anytime she's not

(Repeat Chorus)



listen  "Good Ride Cowboy" by Garth Brooks (Richie Brown/Jerrod Lee Niemann/Bryan Kennedy/Bob Doyle)

1st Verse

From the hills 'a Kaycee, Wyoming
Where life's "Wooly and Wild"
Came (a Navy) (an Air Force) brat in a cowboy hat
And that Copenhagen smile
And from buckin' broncs to honky tonks
He always sang a cowboy's song
We were much too young
Havin' too much fun
As we all sang along

Chorus

(And) we sang "Life's A Highway"
There's only one way you're gonna get through it (yeah)
When she starts to twist
Be more like Chris
Pull your hat down tight (let me have it)
And just LeDoux it
When that whistle blows
And that crowd explodes
And them pickup men are at yo' side
They tell you good ride, cowboy
Good ride (take a ride)

2nd Verse

From gold buckles to gold records
Well, once again he was spinnin' 'round
Took the whole world on
And he turned us on
To that "Western Underground"
And from "Bareback Jack" to "This Cowboy's Hat"
The songs were stronger than his pain
He would not slow down from town to town
Like children "Runnin' Thru The Rain"

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

Tag

I bet he crossed that River Jordan
With Saint Peter on the other side
Singin' good ride, cowboy
Good ride
Say good ride, cowboy
Good ride
