   Miss You Again Josh Abbott Band

   Lyrics

   Miss You Again –Josh Abbott Band

   [Verse 1]
   Every now and again I see an old friend and they ask how you are.
   They see in my eyes; they know I can’t lie; I haven’t seen you in years.
   Called a buddy the other day, all he had to say was “Do you remember when?”
   I said “yes I do,” made me think about you and how I miss you again.

   [Chorus]
   I miss you again like words miss your name.
   I miss you again like fire misses your flame.
   There’s a chance we’ll fall in love in the end,
   but until then I’ll miss you again

   [Verse 2]
   So I’m driving around this damn night town but you’re still everywhere.
   I can’t eat, I can’t think, and God knows I can’t sleep.
   Do you know what its like to close your eyes at night and visualize memories?
   Guess I’ll lie here awake, think about my mistakes and how I miss you again.

   [Bridge]
   There’s a truth I can’t explain, I wake up screaming your name.
   And you’re driving my heart insane about the way that I feel.

   We're All In Josh Abbott Band

   Lyrics

   We're All In –Josh Abbott Band

   [Verse 1]
   You really worked me tonight when you shot that look in your eyes.
   Placed your cards down, said you were “tired of dancing around.”
   Well baby I do agree, its time that we both see
   what we’ve been holding all this time.

   [Chorus]
   We’re all in, we got nothing to lose,
   just two hearts tired of being abused.
   We can take one chance tonight,
   put our chips in for one last fight.
   But the only way we win is if we’re all in.

   [Verse 2]
   I thought I was on a roll til I got spent out of control.
   You put me in my place with the queen of hearts stamped on your face.
   Baby let’s double down, put our heads close to the ground.
   I don’t guess we’re stopping now.

   [Bridge]
   Baby I’m so tired of playing your games.
   I’ve nothing left to give but all my shame.

   Buried Me Josh Abbott Band

   Lyrics

   Buried Me –Josh Abbott Band

   [Verse 1]
   I really hate when you call me late at night.
   I didn’t answer cuz I didn’t wanna fight.
   Or hear you say things you don’t mean,
   drive my heart again down misery street

   [Chorus]
   Go ahead and arrange the flowers,
   and prepare my eulogy.
   Call my brothers to be my pall bearers
   Cuz what you did already buried me

   [Verse 2]
   When I think of you I get in my car,
   but I can never escape from where you are.
   I can’t forget the words that you said
   the night you shot me in the heart and left me for dead

   [Bridge]
   Who am I kidding, I’ll never be over you.
   Put me ten feet deep so I won’t face the truth

   Here I Stand Josh Abbott Band

   Lyrics

   Here I Stand –Josh Abbott Band

   [Verse 1]
   Here today but tonight you’re gone,
   the memories that you left remind me we’re done.
   And these hollow frames that used to hold you resemble empty graves.
   But the one of you dancing in the dark is the one I can’t put away.

   [Chorus]
   So here I stand on shaky ground and I’m reaching out.
   So take me by my hand, girl understand that this is love…
   Baby this is love.

   [Verse 2]
   I’m drowning in her sea but no one seems to care that I can’t breathe.
   Every time I reach the surface a new wave swallows me.

   I'll Trust You Josh Abbott Band

   Lyrics

   I'll Trust You –Josh Abbott Band

   [Verse 1]
   Trust is a funny thing,
   never know what it can bring,
   but it sure can cause you pain.
   I’ve been hurt a time or two,
   baby I know so have you
   so lets put the past away.

   [Pre-Chorus]
   And give this everything we’ve got

   [Chorus]
   Baby I’ll trust you in the night
   When we’re both wrong, nobody’s right.
   Let’s agree to disagree.
   Let’s go slow, let’s go fast,
   let’s just make sure we last.
   And if you will I will too,
   baby I’ll trust you.

   [Verse 2]
   Maybe you should let down your guard.
   How else am I to get to your heart
   and see how you feel?
   Yeah there’s a chance I could hurt you again.
   There’s a chance you’ll let me down.
   But its important that we still…

   Good Night for Dancing Josh Abbott Band

   Lyrics

   Good Night for Dancing –Josh Abbott Band

   [Verse 1]
   There’s a place I like to go
   where the fast songs meet the slow.
   And people come from miles around
   just to hear an old guitar sound
   Call your friends and I’ll call mine.
   We’ll have ourselves a country time.
   Get there early and have a few drinks,
   loosen up step out on the dance floor
   now what do you think?

   [Chorus]
   Yeah, it’s a good night for dancing.
   It’s a good night for you
   [repeat]

   [Verse 2]
   A nice two-step might start out the night.
   Pretty soon we’re half-stepping and the rhythm’s right.
   A line dance and the cotton eye joe,
   I spin you around and here we go.

   [Verse 3]
   Well it’s last call and the lights begin to come on
   and they announce that it’s the very last song.
   I grab your hand and lead you on the floor,
   Hold you in my arms and dance til we can’t anymore.

   Scapegoat (Heart of Stone) Josh Abbott Band

   Lyrics

   Scapegoat (Heart of Stone) –Josh Abbott Band

   [Verse 1]
   You couldn’t walk in my shoes; if you did well you would be as confused
   cuz lonely hearts like mine are hard to find…only if you close your eyes.
   So breathless here I stand suffocating on the words you choke me with.
   You toss me down, throw me around, and you leave me in the dark.
   Yeah you really play with my heart.

   [Chorus]
   So go on and blame all my mistakes.
   I’ll be the scapegoat for your sins and your shame
   and then one day you’ll be on your own.
   That’s the life for a heart like stone.

   [Verse 2]
   Screw you, I’ll sing it again, screw you for the selfish things you did.
   I showed you truth and you threw lies back in my face.
   Yeah you really wear your crown with grace.

   [Bridge]
   Well you blame me for what I did and what I did not do.
   Yeah you blame me; well baby I’m throwing it back to you.

   Distant Josh Abbott Band

   Lyrics

   Distant –Josh Abbott Band

   [Verse 1]
   Well if the wind is her breath then the sun is her glare.
   It’s hot and it’s piercing and it burns when you stare.
   She gives me shivers and keeps me warm in a daze.
   Like the night she fades away.

   [Chorus]
   I don’t understand why you have to be constantly distant from me.

   [Verse 2]
   There’s a lake somewhere full of her tears
   with a sign that says “SWIMMERS BEWARE”.
   I hold my breath as long as I can
   but her waves crush me again, and again, and again.

   On My Mind Josh Abbott Band

   Lyrics

   On My Mind –Josh Abbott Band

   [Verse 1]
   Baby I love you, don’t get me wrong.
   But I hate the way you always seem to tag along.
   I think I might just need some alone time
   cuz loving you is easy but killing you is on my mind.

   [Chorus 1]
   Hey baby don’t take me seriously.
   Well its not like I’m gonna do something while you sleep.
   I think I might just need some alone time
   cuz loving you is easy but killing you is on my mind.

   [Verse 2]
   Been working all day just to take you out at night,
   but all you wanna do is nag and prove how you’re right. Well you’re right,
   it’s gotten to where I don’t wanna come home at five.
   cuz loving you is easy but killing you is on my mind.

   [Bridge]
   Oh but here you go looking so damn fine.
   You always have a way of changing my mind.

   [Chorus 2]
   Hey baby I hope you take me very seriously.
   The only thing I wanna do is love you before we sleep.
   So come to bed and turn down the lights
   cuz killing you is easy but loving you is on my mind.

    Her Eyes Turn Green Josh Abbott Band

    Lyrics

    Her Eyes Turn Green –Josh Abbott Band

    [Verse 1]
    She sits alone in the dark.
    She hides her pain in her heart.
    You couldn’t tell by her smile.
    She only holds it for a while
    and she loves.

    [Chorus]
    A woman inside with the pain that she hides.
    It’s easy to see her eyes turn green when she cries.
    Her eyes turn green when she cries.

    [Verse 2]
    Second chance has passed him by.
    She’s lost that look in her eyes.
    She’ll hold on to memories
    and her hopes will float with the breeze
    that she loves.

    [Verse 3]
    Now she’ll move on from yesterday,
    and she’ll find someone who will say
    that she loves.

    [Tag Ending]
    Her eyes turn green…when she smiles.

    If I See You Tonight Josh Abbott Band

    Lyrics

    If I See You Tonight –Josh Abbott Band

    [Verse 1]
    You walked in with all your friends,
    caught eyes with me and then turned your head.
    Reluctantly started my way, probably thinking of what to say
    and you sat down.

    Smiled at me and said hello.
    Five minutes later it was time to go.
    Before you head on out that door, a scene I’ve seen before
    there’s something you should know.

    [Chorus]
    If I see you tonight don’t you pretend that look in your eyes.
    And don’t you tell me things you don’t mean like how you think of me
    if I see you tonight.
    And if I see you tonight I won’t be holding back tears in my eyes.
    I’ll mean everything I say like girl I miss you today
    if I see you tonight.

    [Verse 2]
    Six weeks later you called,
    cried you made a mistake and would like to see
    if maybe we could try again, maybe do things like when
    we were both happy.

    But I got bad news for you,
    girl its your turn to feel lonely too.
    You waited way to long, someone better came along
    but here’s some words for you.

    Evil Woman Josh Abbott Band

    Lyrics

    Evil Woman –Josh Abbott Band

    [Verse 1]
    I ran into an old girlfriend of mine.
    She said “you’re looking good, kinda looking fine,”
    “and I was thinking maybe after your show,
    we could go to my place and see where love goes.”
    I looked at her and I said “Baby not tonight.”
    She asked “Why?” and I said these words come to mind:

    [Chorus]
    Be gone evil woman.
    Don’t come around here with your spell.
    Be gone evil woman.
    I don’t like you in case you couldn’t tell.

    [Verse 2]
    See that girl, she’s standing over there.
    She’s got the bluest eyes and longest, blondest hair.
    I can see the way she looks in her eyes
    as she kisses her lips and rubs around her thighs.
    I can tell by her face she’s ready to go
    but tonight girl, tonight I gotta say no.

    I Guess It's Time Josh Abbott Band

    Lyrics

    I Guess It's Time –Josh Abbott Band

    [Verse 1]
    I’m sitting under pine and oak trees
    waiting on a summer breeze
    to cool me down.
    I think I’ve been up since dawn,
    your memories carry on
    without a sound.

    [Chorus]
    So I’ll be sitting here thinking what to do.
    God knows how I miss you.
    It’s a shame this is what we’re gonna do.
    But I guess its time I started getting over you.

    [Verse 2]
    You’re like the peacocks down at the park,
    so beautiful but you mean no harm
    and you can’t be caught.
    I thought I had you in my arms one time
    and everything was fine
    until we fought.

    [Bridge]
    It’s like the moment when the rain falls down,
    how you broke my heart, what a lonely sound.
    The clouds open to a new, clear sky.
    Let me clear my mind, I guess its time.
