Comin' On Strong lyrics

You're doing all you can

To get in them old jeans

You want that body back

You had at 17

Now baby, don't get down
Don't you worry 'bout a thing

cuz the way you're fillin out,

Yeah, Thats alright with me

I don't want the girl you used to be

And incase you didn't notice

The kids are fast aleep and You're...

One Hot Mama!

You turn me on lets turn it up,

mudgrips

white-tip

cigar stickin' out of my face

Earnhart racing sticker

on the window
banged up fender

four by four

straight pipe roar

primer and rust

all over the door

scarred up knuckles

mack belt buckle

white t-shirt

aint afraid to work

got a 'what-are-you-looking-at-asshole- smirk

(chorus)

cold beer

hot wingers

wranglers

skoal ring

Well, I said I'd call her sometime

No, I think I just asid I might

'Cause I was cool as Colorado

Mr. Saturday Night

We're talkin' shades on
Leanin' on the payphone

I let her know right off

I was the restless kind

Don't expect for me to get all

Tangled up and tied

I was one smooth cowboy

But don't look now boys

Chorus:

She's comin' on strong

From out of nowhere

if this was a joke

id be laughing by now

cuttin' up with the boys

and braggin' bout how

i talked my way
out of the trouble i was in

again

she kept sayin'

you're gunna miss me

but i never did take her seriously

i guess her gift of prophecy was real

amen

(chorus)

babys gone

baby aint to blame

thatd be my fault

me and my no brain

might'a took a train to Tupelo

well it aint home

but itll have to do for a while

got a fold down bed

two windows on the parking lot

three plates in the kitchenette
a table and chair where i can eat

a little black-and-white tv

a shower stall and a bathroom sink

and one two-drawer nightsand

barely enough room to be a man

and on the nightstand

sits a photograph

of my wife and kids

i smell the fragrance

of your hair

feel your fingers and your breath

on my skin

when we're here alone like this
a crazy world makes perfect sense

i hear you whisperin' my name

your kisses leave the sweetest taste

on my lips

when you say 'i love you too'

soft and tender like you do

i know all m dreams have come true

(chorus)

then i wake up

on the floor beside our bed

i like to be a little wild

i like to raise a litle Cain

I wanna keep it on the edge

let my restless heart remain
untamed

(chorus)

im gunna live the way i love

and love the way i live

walk the higest wire

and stay out on the limb

away from any fences

free of any chains

unbound, untied, untamed

i only want what i've got coming

ill take the credit and the blame

have you ever had

one of those days

when you wake up feelin' good

so good that you could tae the whole world on

one of those days
when you just know

no matter what

nothin' in the world could go wrong

well thats the way i feel this mornin'

but, baby i just gotta say

i always have one of those days

chorus:

after one of those nights

just like last night

An hour into my shirt

I'm covered from head to toe

Drilling oil from the bottom

Of the Gulf of Mexico
SUn's on the rise

Sweat rolling black down my face

Work until i cant move

Another back-breaking typical day

Chorus:

I've weathered waterspouts and hurricanes

Hailstorms and driving rain

And missing you

Ive worked through broken drills

And bustedhands

Mile marker 203

The gas gauge leaning on the edge of 'E'

And I'll be danged if the the rain aint pourin' down

Something's smokin' underneath the hood

There's a bangin' and a clangin' and it can't be good

And it's another 50 miles to the nearest town

Everything I own's in the back in a Hefty bag

I'm out of cigarettes, and I'm down to my last drag

Chorus:

Long-legged shadows

Mississippi sunset

She was standing like a candle

That hadn't been burned yet

The wind was blowin'
Clouds like ashes

Had my hand in my pocket

Reaching for my matches

Ican see those

Cotton sheets dancin'

On her mama's clothesline in my head

From my lips a Lucky Strike was danglin'

The day was dyin' in a sea of red

Then came the night

Warm and dark
