All My Ex’s Live in Texas by Sanger D. Schafer and Lyndia Shafer     

“This is a Treat for Me, I Don’t even have any Ex’s in Texas, There Everywhere Else!”

Chorus: (George)
All my ex’s live in Texas
and Texas is a place I dearly love to be
but all my ex’s live in Texas
and that’s why I hang my hat in Tennessee

(George)
Rosanna’s down in Texarkana
wanted me to push her broom
Sweet Eileen’s in Abilene
She forgot I hung the moon

(Jimmy)
Allison’s in Galveston
somehow lost her sanity
and Dimple’s who now lives in Temple’s
got the law after me

Chorus (George)

“Oh Ace in the Hole”

(George)
I remember that old Frio River
where I learned to swim
but it brings to mind another time
where I wore my welcome thin

(Jimmy)
By transcendental meditation
I go there each night
but I always come back to myself
long before daylight

(George)
All my ex’s live in Texas
and Texas is the place Id dearly love to be
but all my ex’s live in Texas
that’s why I hang my hat in Tennessee

(George)
Some folks think I’m hidin’

(Jimmy)
Some Folks think I died

(George)
but I’m alive and well in Tennessee



Hey Good Lookin’ by Hank Williams     

(Jimmy)
Hey, Hey, Good Lookin’, whatcha got cookin’
How’s about cookin’ something up with me

(George)
Hey, sweet baby, don’t you think maybe
We could find us a brand new recipe

I got a hot rod Ford and a two dollar bill
And I know a spot right over the hill
There’s soda pop and the dancin’s free
So if you wanna have fun come a long with me.

(All)
Say Hey, Good Lookin’, whatcha got cookin’
(Alan)
How’s about cookin’ somethin’ up with me

(Jimmy)
Let’s cook it up boys

(Jimmy)
I’m free and I’m ready
maybe we can go steady
How’s about savin’ all your time for me

(Alan)
No more lookin’
I know I’ve been tooken
How’s about keepin’ steady company

(George)
I’m gonna throw my date book over the fence
And find me one for five or ten cents.
I’ll keep it ’til it’s covered with age
‘Cause I’m writin’ your name down on ev’ry page

(All)
Hey, Hey, Good Lookin’,
Whatcha got cookin’
How’s about cookin’ somethin’ up with me. (I wanna hear You Texas!)
How’s about cookin’ somethin’ up with me. (One More Time!)
How’s about cookin’ somethin’ up with me.

Where Cookin’, Alan Jackson and George Strait



Sea of Heartbreak by Paul Hampton and Hal David     

(Jimmy)
The lights In the harbour
They Don’t shine on me
I’m like a lost ship lost on this sea

Chorus:(Both)
Sea of heartbreak
Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine How wish you were mine
Again my dear
I am on this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak

(George)
How did I lose you
Where did I fail
Why did you leave me
Always to sail

Chorus:(Both)
Sea of heartbreak
Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine I wish you were mine
Again my dear
I am on this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak

Oh what I’d give to sail back to shore
Back in your arms once more

(Jimmy)
So Come to my rescue
Come here to me
Take me and keep me
Away from the sea

Chorus:(Both)
Sea of heartbreak
Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine I wish you were mine
Again my dear
I am on this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak



North East Texas Women by Willis Alan Ramsey     

South of Oklahoma, east of New Mexico
West of Louisiana where all them Cajuns grow
We gotta a little place called Texas
Where the women grow on trees
They’re right there for the pickin’ just as easy as you please

Chorus:
You better run take hold
Your gonna get young ’fore you get old
And them Texas women is Texas gold
With kisses than sweeter than cactus
Oh…

North of Amarillo, east of old Dime Box
You can find your Cinderella or a genuine Goldilocks
And if ya don’t like love attachments, if your taste in women is strange
Then go on and spend your money, boys, down in old La Grange

Chorus:
You better run tell the world
You gotta get a Lone Star girl
With her cast iron curls
And her aluminum dimple
It’s so simple

Instrumental Break

Chorus:
You better run take hold
Your gonna get young ’fore you get old
And them Texas women is Texas gold
With kisses than sweeter than cactus

North of Waxahachie, east of old Cowtown
Them Dallas women standin’ up beat the others lyin’ down
Well God bless the Trinity River and any man who is unaware
Of these northeast Texas women with their cotton candy hair

Chorus:
You better run tell the world
You gotta get a Lone Star girl
With her cast iron curls
And her aluminum dimple
It’s so simple




Boats to Build by Guy Clark     

(Jimmy)
It’s time for a change
I’m tired of that same ol same
The same ol words the same ol lines
The same ol tricks and the same ol rhymes

(Alan)
Days precious days
Roll in and out like waves
I got boards to bend I got planks to nail
I got charts to make I got seas to sail

(Both)
I’m gonna build me a boat
With these two hands
She’ll be a fair curve
From a noble plan
Let the chips fall where they will
Cause I’ve got boats to build

(Jimmy)
Sails are just like wings
The wind can make em sing
(Alan)
Songs of life songs of hope

(Jimmy)
Songs to keep your dreams afloat

(Both) I’m gonna build me a boat
With these two hands
It’ll be a fair curve
From a noble plan
Let the chips fall where they will
Cause I’ve got boats to build

(Jimmy)
Shores distant shores
There’s where I’m headed for

(Alan)
Got the stars to guide my way

(Jimmy)
Sail into the light of day

(Both)
I’m gonna build me a boat
With these two hands
It’ll be a fair curve
From a noble plan
Let the chips fall where they will
Cause I’ve got boats to build



Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffett     

Nibblin’ on sponge cake
watchin’ the sun bake
All you Parrotheads and Cowboys covered with oil, Beer, Sweat
Strummin’ my six string on my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp
They’re beginnin’ to boil

Wasted away again in Margaritaville
Searchin’ for my lost shaker of salt (Salt Salt)
Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
But I know this is all George Strait and Alan Jackson’s fault

I Don’t know the reason
Stayed here all season
With nothing to show but this brand new tattoo
But it’s a real beauty
She was a Texas cutie, how it got here
I haven’t a clue

Wasted away again in Margaritaville
Searchin’ for my lost shaker of salt (Salt Salt)
Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
And I Know, it’s all you women’s fault

I blew out my flip flop
Stepped on a pop top
Broke my leg twice had to limp on back home
But there’s booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on

Wasted away again in Margaritaville
Searchin’ for my lost shaker of salt (Salt Salt)
Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
But I know, it’s my own damn fault
Yes, and some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
But I know it’s my own damn fault




It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere by Jim Brown, Don Rollins     

The sun is hot and that ol’ clock is movin’ slow
And so am I
Workday passes like molasses in wintertime
But it’s July
Gettin’ paid by the hour and older by the minute
My boss just pushed me over the limit
I’d like to call him somethin’
But think I’ll just call it a day

Chorus:
Pour me somethin’ tall and strong
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
It’s only half past twelve, but I don’t care
It’s five o’clock somewhere

This lunch break is gonna take all afternoon
And half the night
Tomorrow morning I know they’ll be hell to pay
Hey, but that’s all right
I ain’t had a day off now in over a year
My Texas vacation is gonna start right here
If the phones for me
You can tell ‘em I’ve just sailed away

Chorus:
Pour me somethin’ tall and strong
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
It’s only half past twelve, but I don’t care
It’s five o’clock somewhere

I could pay off my tab
Pour myself in a cab and be back to work before 2
At a moment like this, I can’t help but wonder
What would Jimmy Buffett do?

(Jimmy)
I’d say
Pour me somethin’ tall and strong
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
It’s only half past twelve, but I don’t care

(Both)
Pour me somethin’ tall and strong
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
It’s only half past twelve, but I don’t care
He don’t care
And I don’t care
It’s five o’clock somewhere

Jimmy: 5 O’Clock here in Dallas Texas

Alan: I Heard that. Just Like in Margaritaville I know it’s always 5 O’Clock

Jimmy: Margaritaville and Texas, hell there the same thing Alan

Alan: When I think about it Yeah, But Down on the Chattahoochee we’ve got a 5 O’Clock too

Jimmy: Well the Only thing they could do is bring out the cheerleaders

Alan: That Sounds Good to Me. It’s 5 O’Clock we better get outta here.
