"Cryin' For Me (Wayman's Song)" by Toby Keith (Toby Keith)

Answering Machine Intro

'Sorry you missed me
I'll get back with 'ya as soon as I can
Thanks and God bless'

1st Verse

Got the news on Friday mornin'
But a tear I couldn't find
He showed me how I'm supposed to live
And now he showed me how to die
I was lost 'til Sunday mornin'
I woke up to face my fear
While writing you this good-bye song
I found a tear

Chorus

I'm gonna miss that smile
I'm gonna miss you, my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I'd do it all again
So play it sweet in Heaven
'Cause that's right where you wanna be
I'm not cryin' 'cause I feel so sorry for (you) ('ya)
I'm cryin' for me (oh)

2nd Verse

I got up and dialed your number
And your voice came on the line
With that old familiar message
I'd heard a thousand times
It just said, 'Sorry that I missed you
Leave a message and God bless'
I know you'd think I'm crazy
But I had to hear your voice I guess

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

So play your upside down, left-handed,
Backwards bass guitar
And I'll see you on the other side, Superstar

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag

I'm still cryin'
I'm cryin' for me, oh
I'm still cryin'

1st Verse

I see her layin' by the poolside every day
She ain't got a lot on
She ain't got a lot to say

2nd Verse

She wouldn't look my way
But buddy, what do you expect
I'm just the fix-it-up boy at the apartment complex

Pre Chorus

And she'll go out dancin' 'bout 7:15
Climb into the back of a long limosine
I know where she's goin'
She's goin' downtown
I'm goin' downtown, too, and take a look around

Chorus

See my baby doll
She's my beauty queen
She's my movie star
Best I ever seen
I ain't hooked it up yet
But I'm tryin' hard as I can
It's just a high maintenance woman
Don't want no maintenance man

3rd Verse

I'm just sittin' 'round waitin' on a telephone call
After water pipe exploded in the living room wall
If your washer and dryer in need of repair
You know the handyman's waitin'
And he'll be right there

Twenty-four hours
Seven days a week
If it's gettin' clogged up or maybe startin' to leak
Just ring up my number, baby, give me a try
You know I got all the tools
And I can satisfy

2nd Chorus

See my baby doll
She's my beauty queen
She's my movie star
Best I ever seen
I ain't asked her out yet
'Cause I don't know if I can
You see a high maintenance woman
Don't want no maintenance man...man

Tag Chorus

See my baby doll
She's my beauty queen
She's my movie star
Best I ever seen
I ain't hooked it up yet
But I'm tryin' hard as I can

Don't want no maintenance man
Ain't no high maintenance woman
Gonna fall for a maintenance man...no



   "Love Me If You Can" by Toby Keith (Craig Wiseman/Chris Wallin)

1st Verse

Sometimes think the poor is necessary
Every night I pray for peace on earth
And I hand down my dollars to the homeless
But believe that every able soul should work

Pre Chorus

My father gave me my shotgun
That I'll hand down to my son
Try to teach him everything it means

Chorus

I'm a man of my convictions
Call me wrong, call me right
But I bring my better angels to every fight
You may not like where I'm goin'
But you sure know where I stand
Hate me if you want to
Love me if you can

2nd Verse

I stand by my right to speak freely
But I worry 'bout what kids learn from TV
And before all of debatin' turns to angry words and hate
Sometimes we should just agree to disagree

Pre Chorus

And I believe that Jesus
Looks down here and sees us
And if you ask him, he would say

(Chorus Out)

1st Verse

There's no need to apologize
This happens time and time again
As soon as somebody lays their eyes on her
They dial right in

And I watched you sneak a look
From the other side of the floor
And as I danced her by
I watched you steal one more

You don't have to tell me she's beautiful
You don't have to say things like 'one of a kind'
You don't have to wonder if she loves me, man

There's always somebody starin' at her
Yeah, I know she hung the moon
I'm the one that held the ladder
(Yeah, I know she hung the moon)
('Cause I'm the one that held the ladder)

Now if you had half a chance
You'd probably make a play
Ah, but if you were to ask her to dance
She'd only turn you away

So you'll never ever know
But buddy, if you were in my shoes
You'd see that she's just as pretty
On the inside, too

(Repeat Chorus)

This happens time and time again

That's all this is

There was a time
This heart 'a mine
Would take you back
Everytime, don't you know

A nervous wreck

Comin' around
I'm closin' up shop
Shuttin' us down

You were standin' by the foot of the bed

Did'ya think you tore my whole world apart
But as you can see
There's no pain in my head
And down in this old broken heart

I took your leavin' with a grain 'a salt
Tequila and a slice of lime
Yeah, the minute you left

Just to see how I was gettin' along
But I'd already gotten over it, baby
'Fore you were even gone

By now you've observed
I was a little over-served last night
I need to catch a few zzz's, baby
Please turn off that bedroom light

'Cause they'll be doin' their best
To burn another juke joint down

Stand high on this cliff
Overlookin' the sea

You guessed it
She's gone

   "Whiskey Girl" by Toby Keith (Toby Keith/Scotty Emerick)

Don't my baby look good in them blue jeans
Tight on the top with a belly-button ring
A little tattoo
Somewhere in between
She only shows to me

2nd Verse

Hey, we're goin' out dancin'
She's ready tonight
So damn good lookin'
Boys, it ain't even right
And when the bartender
Says, 'For the lady'
'What's it gonna be?'
I tell him, man

Chorus

She ain't into wine and roses
Beer just makes her turn up her nose, and
She can't stand the thought of sippin' champagne
No Cuervo Gold margaritas
Just ain't enough good burn in tequila
She needs somethin' with a little more edge
And a little more pain
She's my little whiskey girl

My ragged-on-the-edges girl
Ah, but I like 'em rough

Baby got a '69 Mustang
Four on the floor
And you ought to hear the pipes ring

Just sittin' there
Singin' every song on the radio

They didn't get too far

2nd Verse

Grandpappy told my pappy, back in my day, son
A man had to answer for the wicked that he done
Take all the rope in Texas, find a tall oak tree
Round up all of them bad boys, hang them high in the street
For all the people to see, that

Chorus

(He knew) Justice is the one thing you should always find
You gotta saddle up your boys, you gotta draw a hard line
When the gunsmoke settles we'll sing a victory tune
And we'll all meet back at the local saloon
(And) we'll raise up our glasses against evil forces
Singin' whiskey for my men, beer for my horses
(Singin' whiskey for my men, beer for my horses)

3rd Verse

We got too many gangsters doin' dirty deeds
Too much corruption and crime in the streets
It's time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground
Send 'em all to their maker, and he'll settle 'em down
You can bet he'll set 'em down, 'cause

(Chorus Out)

Who might reach a little understanding

I'm just talkin' 'bout tonight

You we're sittin' on your barstool
Talkin' to some fool who didn't have a clue

You said hold your horses, boy
I ain't that easy to get

She said I only take it slow
By now you ought to know that I ain't diggin' this

Who'll make a good husband, I'll make a good wife

Easy now

Yeah, I'm just talkin' 'bout a little bit later tonight



  "I Wanna Talk About Me" by Toby Keith (Bobby Braddock)

Yeah yeah, that's right

1st Verse (Rap)

We talk about your work, how your boss is a jerk
We talk about your church and your head when it hurts
We talk about the troubles you've been havin' with your brother
'Bout your daddy and your mother and your crazy ex-luv'r
We talk about your friends and the places that you've been
We talk about your skin and the dimples on your chin
The polish on your toes and a run in your hose
And God knows we're gonna talk about your clothes
You know talkin' about you makes me smile
But every once in a while

Chorus

I wanna talk about me, (I) wanna talk about I
(I) wanna talk about number one, ol' my me my

We talk about your dreams, and we talk about your schemes
Your high school team and your moisturizer cream
We talk about your Nana up in Muncie, Indiana
We talk about your Grandma down in Alabama
We talk about your guys of every shape and size
The ones that you despise and the ones you idolize
We talk about your heart, 'bout your brains and your smarts
About your medical charts and when you start
You know talkin' about you makes me grin
But every now and then

  "I Can't Take You Anywhere" by Toby Keith (Toby Keith/Scotty Emerick)

1st Verse

You've been a part of my life for so very long
It's hard for me to believe sometimes that you're really gone
I tuck your mem'ry away in my special hiding place
Hopin' no one can tell by the look on my face
That you're still in my heart and always on my mind
And part of my everyday

2nd Verse

Like just last night, I went out for a bite
I tried to have fun with all my might
But even the laughter, it wasn't much of a break
'Cause right in the middle of my salad and steak
Bobby Joe walked in with a couple of friends
And said, 'Hey, have you heard from her at all, man, like
Where's she been?'

Chorus

And it struck a nerve
And it hit a vein
You'd think from all the tears I cried
This brokenhearted pain
I wouldn't have to carry you around with me
But it seem(s) like everywhere I go
Somebody wants to know where you've been
Are you comin' back again, I swear
I can't take you anywhere

3rd Verse

So I left all alone, just headed back home
As I listened to the messages on my telephone
There was one from my sister
And one from an old friend
He said, 'I drove by your house tonight, dude, but
You wadn't in
Just checkin' up on you, boy, I hope you're doin' alright
Oh, by the way, man, I seen her last night'

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag

I swear, I can't take you
Just can't take you
I can't take you anywhere

I can't take you anywhere, oh no
I can't take you anywhere, no no no no no no no no no
I can't take you anywhere, baby



  "How Do You Like Me Now?!" by Toby Keith (Toby Keith/Chuck Cannon)

1st Verse

Yeah, I was always the crazy one
Broke into the stadium
And I wrote your number on the fifty-yard line
You were always the perfect one and a valedictorian
So under your number I wrote 'call for a good time'
I only wanted to get your attention
But you overlooked me somehow
Besides, you had too many boyfriends to mention
And I played my guitar too loud

Chorus

(How do you like me now)
How do you like me now
Now that I'm on my way
You still think I'm crazy
Standin' here today
I couldn't make you love me
But always dreamed about
Livin' in your radio
How do you like me now

2nd Verse

When I took off to Tennessee
I heard that you made fun of me
Never imagined I'd make it this far
Then you married into money, girl
Ain't it a cruel and funny world
He took your dreams
And he tore them apart
He never comes home
And you're always alone
And your kids hear you cry down the hall
Alarm clock starts ringin'
Who could that be singin'
It's me, baby, with your wakeup call

(Chorus Out)



  "You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This" by Toby Keith (Toby Keith)

1st Verse

I got a funny feelin'
The moment that your lips touched mine
Somethin' shot right through me
My heart skipped a beat in time
There's a different feel about you tonight
It's got me thinkin' lots of crazy things
I even think I saw a flash of light
It felt like electricity

Chorus

You shouldn't kiss me like this
Unless you mean it like that
'Cause I'll just close my eyes
And I won't know where I'm at
We'll get lost on this dance floor
Spinnin' a-round
And around, and around, and around
They're all watching us now
They think we're fallin' in love
They'd never believe we're just friends
When you kiss me like this
I think you mean it like that
And if you do, baby, kiss me again

Bridge

Everybody swears we make the perfect pair
But dancing is as far as it goes
Girl, you've never moved me
Quite the way you move me tonight
I just wanted you to know
I just wanted you to know

(Repeat Chorus)

Kiss me again
