Pardon Me 

(Buck Buchanan, Buck Naked Publishing) Buck Buchanan – Lead & Harmony Vocals & Acoustic Guitar, Russ Olsen – Bass Guitar, Johnny Regan – Drums, Marcus Engstrom – Electric guitar, Sandy Dodge – Pedal steel guitar

 

           (Chorus)

Pardon me, you look like someone my heart used to know
Could it be Fate brought me back what left long ago
Oh I see, it ain’t her, it’s just my memory
Sorry to have bothered you
Would you please pardon me

 

Somewhere in a place downtown where poor hearts go to grieve
There is a man who wears his broken heart upon his sleeve
Every time the sun goes down he sits there in the gloom
Every gal that passes by hears the same old tune

 

Years have come and gone since our hearts beat as one
My tears carry on when all is said and done
Pardon me my life was through
When she went away
If I cry you know why pardon me

 

Guardian Angel 

(Buck Buchanan, Buck Naked Publishing) Buck Buchanan – Lead & Harmony Vocals, Russ Olsen – Bass Guitar, Johnny Regan – Drums, Jim Lewis - Electric & Acoustic Guitars, Sandy Dodge – Pedal steel guitar

 

When I saw where the road was goin’
I headed out on my own.
An old guitar, a kiss for luck
Can’t go back, can’t give up.

 

(Chorus)           

Somethin’ changes when you’re on your own           
And there’s no way to turn it around.           
Just keep goin’, you’ve got nothin’ to fear           
It’s just fear that keeps slowin’ you down.           

          

Time for me to go.
Why I don’t know.
I won’t stick around
One night, one show, one more town.

Guardian angel, keep up with me.
Lines on the highway, set me free.

 

Dear Patsy 

(Buck Buchanan, Kostas, Kenny Williams) Buck Buchanan - Lead Vocals, Carol Buchanan- Harmony Vocals, Russ Olsen – Bass Guitar, Johnny Regan – Drums, Jim Lewis - Electric & Acoustic Guitars, Sandy Dodge – Pedal Steel Guitar

 

Dear Patsy, years have passed without you
I still fall to pieces when you sing
I’m crazy, feelin like I know you
Records tell me “time don’t mean a thing”

Your voice like no others
Pure and sweet and fine
One day God took you home
But your songs stayed behind
Dear Patsy, what I say is true
There will never be another you

 

Dear Patsy, fate keeps us together
And it does so unexpectedly
When I hear you, singing like an angel
On the radio, you’re here with me

Loneliness inside your soul
Found a friend in mine
You bound up my broken heart
With sweet dreams left behind
Dear Patsy, I know that you’re gone
Your still livin here inside your songs

 

 

Caught 

(Dale Watson, T. Lewis, Jesse Dayton, W. Warren) Russ Olsen – Lead Vocals & Bass Guitar, Buck Buchanan - Harmony Vocals & Acoustic Guitar, Johnny Regan – Drums, Marcus Engstrom – Electric Guitar, Sandy Dodge – Pedal Steel Guitar

 

(Chorus)           

Caught, in a camera's eye           
Caught, without an alibi           
A picture's worth a thousand words they say           
We're caught in a motel room           

The tangled sheets smell like sweet perfume           
No matter who's at fault, we're caught           

 

Now who'd have thought it'd end like this
The after glow's such a painful bliss
What a web we weave when we practice to deceive

We played the game but now we lose
Now we're just back street news
Oh my God, what are we gonna do

 

Rumors spread like wildfire in this town
It's too late to change our fate
We'll never live it down

 

 

Y'all Keep Texas 

(Buck Buchanan, Buck Naked Publishing) Buck Buchanan - Lead Vocals, Carol Buchanan- Harmony Vocals, Russ Olsen – Bass Guitar, Johnny Regan – Drums, Jim Lewis - Electric & Acoustic Guitars, Sandy Dodge – Pedal steel guitar, Marc Mattix - Fiddle

 

(Chorus)

Y’all keep Texas, we’ll stay out west
Somehow you’ve got yourself convinced, Texas is the best
Drink your Lonestar beer, we’ll drink microbrews
Y’all keep Texas, Texas for you.

 

There ain’t no hills in Texas once you’ve seen Idaho
Rio ain’t so Grande when you swim the Snake you know
Stare into the ol’ Big Sky at miles and miles of stars
Y’all keep Texas, we’ll stay right where we are.

Honky-tonkin’ music Bob Wills is still the king
He came here on the radio, so we didn’t miss a thing
You’ve got The Armadillo, we’ve got The Grizzly Bear
Y’all keep Texas, we’ll stay right here.

Outlaw country started there, that just might be so
Merle and Buck and Bakersfield is on the map you know
When you tell the whole wide world “Texas is the best”
Remember Texas ain’t out west.

 

I Take It On Home 

(Kenny O'Dell)- Johnny Regan – Lead Vocals & Drums, Russ Olsen – Bass Guitar, Marcus Engstrom – Electric guitar, Sandy Dodge – Pedal Steel Guitar, Buck Buchanan - Acoustic Guitar

 

Sometimes at the end of the day
'Fore I head home, I make a stop along the way
Have a couple of drinks wait for the five o'clock rush to go by.
And almost always there's a lady
Oh, and it's so hard when she starts coming on
But I back it on up, turn it around, and take it on home.

 

Sometimes I've gotta go out of town I'll be gone for couple of days
And this buddy of mine he's a hound in the first degree
And almost always there's the ladies
And it ain't easy when you're out and alone
But I back it on up turn it around and take it on home.

 

I take it on home to the woman who sticks by me           

'Cause I believe she'd do the same if she was me           
And I wouldn't know where to turn to if she was gone           

          
And when I ain't workin' I don't hang out I take it on home
I back it on up turn it around and take it on home

 

 

Had It With You 

(Buck Buchanan, Buck Naked Publishing) Buck Buchanan – Lead & Harmony Vocals, Russ Olsen – Bass Guitar, Johnny Regan – Drums, Jim Lewis - Electric & Acoustic Guitars, Sandy Dodge – Pedal Steel Guitar

 

No need for no more, I’m walkin’ away.
No time tomorrow, too late today.
Sad it’s over, you’ve made me blue.
No need for no more, I’ve had it with you.

 

(Chorus)

I’ve had it with you. What more can I say?
Won’t be here tomorrow, I’m outta your way.
You’ll hear the sound of nobody there
No one around, no one to care.

 

The reasons for stayin’ kept slippin’ away.
After tomorrow, just yesterday.
Now it’s over, now we’re through.
No need for no more, I’ve had it with you.

 

 

Diesel Smoke 

(Buck Buchanan, Buck Naked Publishing) Buck Buchanan – Lead & Harmony Vocals, Russ Olsen – Bass Guitar, Johnny Regan – Drums, Jim Lewis - Electric & Acoustic Guitars, Sandy Dodge – Pedal Steel Guitar

 

(Chorus)           

Thank God for my diesel smoke           
Let them old tree-huggers choke           
It keeps the wife and kids from bein' broke           
When they're alone           
Thank God for my eighteen wheels           
I say this prayer before I eat my meals           
Keep the painted metal in the air           
'Til I get home           

 

Well I never 'mounted to much in school
Thought that I was a natural fool
Teachers' knew I'd never make a dog-gone dime
When I'm out here I'm "king of the road"
Pullin' my weight haulin' the load
 

Gettin' to the destination right on time

I don't solve problems like ol' McGiver
I don't have to I'm a long-haul driver
You won't see me holdin no cardboard sign
When I'm out here I'm "king of the road"
Pullin' my weight haulin' the load
Gettin' to the destination right on time

 

 

Make Me A Woman 

(Buck Buchanan, Buck Naked Publishing) Buck Buchanan – Lead Vocals, Russ Olsen – Bass Guitar, Johnny Regan – Drums, Jim Lewis - Electric & Acoustic Guitars, Sandy Dodge – Pedal steel guitar

 

(Chorus)

Take me home and make me a woman
Take me home I’ll make you a man
Take me home this party is over
Take me home we’ve got other plans

 

People are dancing the whole night away
Couples are laughing, no cares today
Off in a corner, away from the crowd
She leans and whispers, barely a sound

 

They thanked their host said their goodbyes
Walked out the door with their little white lies
They wouldn’t miss those they left behind
She leans and whispers, one final time

 

 

Go Down Swinging

(Bill Anderson) Russ Olsen – Lead Vocals & Bass Guitar, Buck Buchanan - Harmony Vocals & Acoustic Guitar, Johnny Regan – Drums, Marcus Engstrom – Electric guitar, Sandy Dodge – Pedal Steel Guitar

 

The one I love don't want me hanging round
All she does is put me on and put me down
Tonight she's with a stranger at a party in her home
And I'm here at a tavern getting stoned

 

(Chorus)           

Cause if I gotta go I'll go down swinging           
Where there's lights and laughter booze and blonds           
And a lot of sad sad singing           
I'll sober up tomorrow and cry all day I know           
At least I'll go down swinging what a swinging way to go           

 

I’ll dance with all the girls and buy the wine
Play the jukebox till I'm down to my last dime
She thinks she's made a fool of me by loving someone else
She should see me make a fool out of myself

 

 

Hands On The Wheel 

(Buck Buchanan, Buck Naked Publishing) Buck Buchanan - Lead & Harmony Vocals, Russ Olsen – Bass Guitar, Johnny Regan – Drums, Jim Lewis - Electric & Acoustic Guitars, Sandy Dodge – Pedal Steel Guitar

 

Caffeine, nicotine, hands on the wheel
Thirty hours drivin’, no big deal.
Don’t use the Jake when you roll into town.
Make it to the Mini-Mart, put the hammer down.

 

Keep your hands on the wheel.
Keep your hands on the wheel.

 

I started drivin’ hands on the wheel
Feet in the seat, no big deal.
You gotta stop, swing to the floor.
Pedals to the metal, there ain’t no more.

 

That old “Bulldog”, don’t owe me a dime.
Fill it up, check the load, get it there on time.

 

When I’m old, can’t hold the wheel
Can’t cut the mustard, no big deal
Get me to the Mini-Mart, watch the drivers fly
Blame the dust for the tears in my eye.
