Me and the Boys
Remember back when we were young
And all the crazy things that we have done
Me and the Boys out skipping school
Back on the hill acting a fool
Yes its so easy to remember when
Everything was so simple then
We never worried about the money we spent
When you ain’'t got no money
You don’t care where it went
[Chorus]
Feel the wind running through our hair as we ride
Running so fast not even time could hold us
Young and free we had nothing to hide
And we were doing all the things that nobody told usSummer days when there weren't any courses
Down at the creek riding make believe horses
Acting out westerns that they had seen
Down at the picture show movie screen
One year later feeling 5 years older
Still scared of the girls but we were acting much bolder
And in the evening when the sun went down
Back street, make out, fooling around
[Bridge]
Me and the Boys[x4]
Cruising around in a ’57 dodge
Boys all checking out the noisy ride
Backyard mechanics each and every one
It was greasy work but damn it was fun

American Farmer
See that man in the field over yonder
With dirt on his hands and a loan on his back
He's the man that puts the food on your table
He's the man that grows the clothes on your back
Were running a mile out of the house he was born in
Tending on the sidelines and watching him fall
Selling his land to the big corporations
What you gonna do when they get it allHe's been rolled for sure treated like a outlaw
Turned down sold out, put out to graze
He's been pushed you know when he can push no more
It gets a little harder everyday[chorus]
He's the American farmer
And he damn hard to beat
Better wake up America, wake up America
Coz if the man don't work then the people don't eatKeep sending that high tech stuff off to Russia
I can't figure what where doing it for
We should be sending them wheat and meat and cotton
'Cause a loaf of bread never started no war
See that man in the middle of city
Eatin' outta garbage cans, sleepin' in the street
See that lady livin' in the ghetto
How in the world she gonna make ends meetIt's a damn disgrace on the face of America
Hungry people everywhere you go
Children in Africa starving by the millions
While the land lays fallow and the banks foreclose[chorus]
He's an American, he's an American, he's an American, American farmer
Better see him through
'Cause if he goes down swinging
You better know where gonna go down swinging to[chorus]
The people don't eat
The people eon't eat
I said the people don't eat
The people don't eat

Drinkin' My Baby Goodbye
Sittin' on a bar stool actin' like a durn fool
That's what I'm a doin' today
Sitting' her drinkin' tryin' to keep from thinkin'
I'm a boozin' my troubles away
Well now I couldn't make her stay, well doggone her anyway
She can't say that I didn't try
So pour me another one
Im finished with the other one
I'm drinkin' my baby goodbyeSpoken:
Everytime we disagreed
She was always askin' me
Are you a man or a mouse
Now that she's gone
She probably thinks I'm home
Just a mopin' around the house
She probably thinks that she's the one thing
I just couldn't get along without
Well wouldn't it surprise her I got a sympathizer
As long as these bottles hold outRepeat Chorus
Every time I triy to sit down and talk to her
It always ends up in a fuss
I tried to reason with her right up to the time
She got on that Greyhound bus
It'd be better if I could forget her
'Cause she sure forgot about me
And if takes all night I'm gonna' do it right
I'm gonna' sit here till I can't seeRepeat Chorus
