Song: Love by Roger Creager
Album: I GOT THE GUNS
From: Blake Lewis ALLSTAR7017@aol.com

This is a bad song, from an awesome TEXAS COUNTRY singer, so here goes:

Intro: A E D

Love aint what this songs about

Candle light aint what im in the mood for now

I dont need a metaphor to help me get this out

Love aint what this songs about

Chorus:

Its about beer and whiskey and drinkin

Its about playin the fool and acting without thinking

Its about runnin with your buddies who dont give a damn

What in the world happens to you man

No love aint what this songs about

Verse 2:

Crying aint what your gonna hear
You wont have any salty tears drownin in your beer
and if your feelin down then friend you better just steer clear
No crying ain what your gonna hear

Chorus 2:

Its about wine and women and song
Its about doing one thing and makin sure your doin it wrong
Its about giving in to your deepest desire
Setting the whole damn world on fire
No crying aint what your gonna hear

Bridge: same chords as verse (well actually the whole song)

Love aint what this songs about
The worlds got you trapped and friend theres no way out
So give in to your deepest desire and set this whole damn world on fire
No love aint what this songs about

Ending: DDA DDA

Well there you go hope you enjoy!

Capo 2

Looks like I really screwed up again
Should’ve learned by now that I aint never gonna win
I know the reason, I didn?t even ask, I?ve heard it all from relationships past
Now I?m on my own again
But as you leave, I say there goes another good woman
Should?ve learned by now, that I can catch ?em, but I cant hold ?em
I take it all with a grain of salt, don?t worry darlin’ this ain?t your fault
Sometimes you just gotta know when to fold ?em

Chorus:
Tonight I’m down at the dancehall, I’m a single man
I’ll be laughin?, and dancin?, and knockin? ?em back, and throwin? caution to the wind
You can search my heart for answers, and what I’m all about
These are my ways, I’ll never change, you should’ve learned by now

I still get down when I think of you
I ran you off like a proud card carryin? fool
There’ll be no justifyin?, not even worth the tryin?
I’m wrong, we both know its true
You know I’d change if I really thought it’d work
I hate bein? responsible for someone else’s hurt
Like an old broken record, I repeat the same mistakes
The flames go up and another heart gets burned

Chorus
And I’ll turn it all aro-u-n-d

Chorus 2:
Tonight I’m out at the dance hall, I?m a single man
I’ll be laughin?, jokin?, drinkin? and smokin?, cuttin? up with all of my friends
And there’s nothin? in the world more sad than a broken hearted sinner
Out in the world, here in this bar, tryin like hell to be a winner

Looks like I really screwed up again,
Should’ve learned by now, that I aint never gonna win

Intro: G C G C G C G C (Harmonica over chords)
Verse:
Sometimes I sit in my backyard. I kick back and drink Iced tea.
I stare all the way to the ocean and I dream of how it would be
If I were a ship captain somewhere or an old fashioned sailor at sea,
Or a stowed away pirate just down below hiding and praying the law don’t find me.
Maybe I’d sail from Nantucket chasing the great white whale.
Oh without a sound, I’d run him aground then I’d bring old Ahab the tail.
Yeah I’d show old Ahab his tail.
Chorus:
But I’m not a (sailor, outlaw, runaway), I’m just a man stuck here in the promised land.
C D G (Syncopated rhythm)
Living hard and living free.
I’m a dreamer that’s what I got, Oh but here goes one last shot and
C D G(Same Rhythm) ?Intro
I hope someday they’re dreaming about me.
Verse:
Sometimes I dream I’m a cowboy around 1949.
I’d cross the border on horseback with a real close buddy of mine.
I’d know we’d run from trouble but I’m sure its what we’d find.
When you’re out of the frying pan into the fire, who cares what you leave behind.
I know fall in love down there and I’d probably end up in jail.
When you fall in love with a rich man’s daughter, who’s going to go your bail?
Hey I hate them Mexican jails.
Chorus
Solo: G C G C ?
Verse: this verse is only half of the G C progression?you’ll see. (it’s shorter)
I’d love to go rafting the waters: riding the mighty Mississip.
I’d float around from town to town causing trouble then I’d give them the slip.
That water could take me back to the days of young Huck Finn.
I’d sleep all day and smoke all night and play tricks on old Jim.
Yeah I think I’d like old Jim.

By Roger Creager

A crowded restaurant and here you are
I’m doing fine but you have come so far
I ask how long its been like I dont know
Ive been counting the days since youve been gone
Youd think my love would show

Chorus:
But I hear youre doing great out on your own
Youre having a ball, have friends that call you on the telephone
Youve got hopes, Youve got dreams , youve really got it made
I used to feel the same until the day you went away

I dont know why I thought youd be around
Looking back I see I really held you down
Thinking that Id always have it all,
I hate the way youre riding high then all at once you take the fall

Chorus

Everyone is looking right at you
When you walk in you really steal the show
Youre the one thing I shouldve held on to
But standing today I’m trying like hell to let you go

Solo

Chorus

Intro:
AADA DDGA 4x

It’s 4am and I just got home
In my motel room so I picked up the phone
Figured you’d like to hear about the day I had.
It’s been a real peach of a day to day
The van had a blowout on the way
And by 11am it was already lookin bad

(Play Intro)
Well we drove all the way to Amarillo
The people are are warm but it’s always cold
It was raining outside and all our gear got soaked
But I didn’t know the croud would dig our stuff
Cuz new towns are usually tough
They were singin along and they knew every song I wrote

Chorus:
And things look good around here
The boys are in the parking lot still drinkin beer
I don’t know if I’m ever gonna get them inside
Sounds like a party out there
No worries and no cares
Things look good around here

(repeat intro)

Verse 2:
Sing all night and drive all day
Hey there’s got to be a better way
When are we supposed to get our sleep?
Sometimes I love doing what I do
Other times I hate being away from you
And sometimes I cant believe I’m in this deep
Most times i get nervous inside
Try to hide if that’s my pride
But I need a little encouragement now and then
Step out on the stage eyes wide
It always feels like my first time
I kick off a tune and I’m alright again

(Chorus)

Bridge:
What was I thinkin callin you this late?
I guess i needed to hear your voice and say

(chorus)

Verse 3:
I know we need some time alone
It’s not too long till I get home
Sorry I woke you hope that you’re not mad
But it’s 4am and I just got home
In my motel room
I figured you would like to hear about the day I had

2nd Chorus:
Things look good around here
I’m headed to the parking lot to grab me a beer
There’s a party goin on outside
This ain’t the first time through
And it won’t be the last one true
But things look good around here
