Love Me Right lyrics - Casey Donahew Band

I grew up in a north Texas town
And I was the guy your daddy wouldn't let you hang around
'Cause I was on the move, and I was movin' fast
Tell you that I love you but I know it'll never last
Then I met a girl with a heart so true
She took me by the hand, turned my gray skies back to blue

She said lay me down, you know I'm gonna love you
Hold me tight and there's things I'm gonna show you
Listen close, whisper when I tell you
Love me right and we'll always get through
Never lie, always stay true
You can stay all night if you want to
I don't mind the little things you do
Love me right and we'll always get through

I was into gamblin', and I was into cars
I was into goin' where the girls dance on the bars
I was into trouble, I was up to nothin' good
And I was always doin' little things I never should
And I was always leavin', but she can make me stay
All I had to do was to hear her say

She said lay me down, you know I'm gonna love you
Hold me tight and there's things I'm gonna show you
Listen close, whisper when I'll tell you
Love me right and we'll always get through
Never lie, always stay true
You can stay all night if you want to
I don't mind the little things you do
Love me right and we'll always get through

Now I've changed my ways
And I'm walkin' straight
I'm in a hurry so don't make me late
'Cause I've gotta see her
I wanna know
I'm gonna hold and I'll never let go

She said lay me down, you know I'm gonna love you
Hold me tight and there's things I'm gonna show you
Listen close, whisper when I tell you
Love me right and we'll always get through
Never lie, always stay true
You can stay all night if you want to
I don't mind the little things you do
Love me right and we'll always get through
Lay me down, you know I'm gonna love you
Hold me tight and there's things I'm gonna show you
Listen close, whisper when I tell you
Love me right and we'll always get through
Never lie, always stay true
You can stay all night if you want to
I don't mind the little things you do
Love me right and we'll always get through

Love me right
Just love me right
Won't you love me right
And we're gonna get through

Where The Rain Can't Find Me lyrics - Casey Donahew Band

I woke up to the rain this morning
Forgot the couch was my bed
And I drove to work just thinking
Just about things that you had said
And I got stuck in traffic
Cussed for days upon days
And I got to find a getaway from all your wicked ways

And I’m just gunna go where the rain can’t find me
Far enough so that you know we’re through
Somewhere where the waves crash on white beaches
And all the waters bloom

I’ll be burning on a golden beach top
Sunglasses for my eyes
And everyone here thinks I’m happy
I can’t hear your lies
Gotta love a girl rubbin my shoulder
Helping me work on my tan
All my drinks they’ve got umbrellas
And I’m gunna drink all I can
Let’s just go

Where the rain can’t find me
Far enough so that you know we’re through
Somewhere where the waves crash on white beaches
And all the waters bloom

I’m just gunna go here the rain can’t find me
Far enough so that you know we’re through
Somewhere where the waves crash on white beaches
And all the waters bloom

Where the rain can’t find me
Far enough so that you know we’re through
Somewhere where the waves crash on white beaches
And all the waters bloom

Where the rain can’t find me
Far enough so that you know we’re through
Somewhere where the waves crash on white beaches
And all the waters bloom

I woke up to the rain this morning

Shine On Me lyrics - Casey Donahew Band

The sands of time they flow so slow
I catch hell from everyone I know
And I’m so tired of being alone
So I get drunk and I just stay home

Looking in the mirror I get lost
I think about life’s’ choices and the cost
I wish I could stop and catch my air
And whoever said that life is fair

[Chorus]
Now it’s been a long 25 years
Living life with all these fears
I’m holding on for a better day
Pray the sun will come and stay
Shine on me, shine on me

Life so hard, I’m so confused
Broken down, my soul’s been used
And I know there won’t be an excuse
But sometimes you got to cut the pain loose

[Chorus]

I know you won’t understand
All I can do is all I can
I’m so weak when I need to be strong
And it won’t be long until you find me gone

Now it’s been a long 25 years
Living life with all these fears
I’m holding on for a better day
Pray the sun will come and stay
Shine on me, shine on me

Just shine on me (shine on me) [4x]

Crash lyrics - Casey Donahew Band


Tap the brakes
We’re not slowing down
The bridge is burning
There’s no turning around
And she was screaming
But I don’t hear a sound
And all my friends
Keep on waiting for this to come unwound

And I don’t know why I care
Don’t miss that cold stare she use to give to me
And I keep hopin that somehow I find my way out now that I can see
That I’ve crashed

It was rainin
She was dressed in white
We were dancing
Holdin on so tight
Just romancing
And this could be the night
It was the last time
Everything seemed to feel so right
Now she won’t stop complaining she driving me insane and I cant breathe

And I keep hopin that somehow I find my way out now that I can see
That I’ve crashed
You know I’ve crashed

And I don’t know all that I can do
But I can’t stay
Ad I keep holdin on to something to get me through today

And I don’t know why I care
Don’t miss that cold stare she use to give to me
And I keep hopin that somehow I find my way out now that I can see
That I’ve crashed
I’ve crashed
You know I’ve crashed

Hangovers And Memories lyrics - Casey Donahew Band

There’s an empty bottle of wine sitting by the bed
Images of you and him in my head
I threw the bottle across the room
Broke your picture on the wall
Trying to convince myself I ain’t missin you at all

The things that you think will keep you sane
Are the things that’ll surely tear you down
An empty shot glass, a pocket full of pills
Until the love of a strange girl just don’t seem real
an’ When the man in the mirror becomes a blur
All you’re left with are hangovers and memories of her

You got holes in your story
That your smile can’t erase
And I can tell that you’re lying
By that love upon your face
And myself be easy, and my pride is one to cause
And you’ll wake up alone tomorrow
know your heart’s the one that lost

The things that you’ll think will keep you sane
Are the things that’ll surely tear you down
An empty shot glass, a pocket full of pills
Until the love of a strange girl just don’t seem real
When the man in the mirror becomes a blur
All you’re left with are hangovers and memories of her

Now all I’m left with are hangovers and memories of her

White Trash Story lyrics - Casey Donahew Band

My best friend Junior, he lives two trailers down
His wife MaryLou she runs the Caberet in town
They've got two kids, and they dont look like him
He's a tractor tech, he's a redneck, now he's gettin drunk again

[Chorus]
I'm talkin bout the good times, drinkin down the bad
Tryin to remember all those crazy nights that we had
Now I'm empty, I'm not sad
Talkin bout the good times, drinkin down the bad

Miss Sara Ann Bakersmith, she was my girlfriend
I took her top off for the first time at the drive-in
You know those had to be the coolest things I'd seen
She was passed around like a bottle of crown, but she was always sweet to me

[Chorus]

Now Junior's Junior's kid, you know they call him "The Duece"
And his grandma she drinks vodka in her orange juice
She sells pot to kids, and she just got out of jail
Junior had to sell his new John-boat just to help to raise the bail

[Chorus]

Now my name's Carl Wayne, I've had two DUI's
Three years ago they took my license I dont drive
These boots can get me there, 'cause I live just down the street
Its last call, its too far to crawl, now help me to my feet

[Chorus]

Just talkin bout the good times, drinkin down the bad
Talkin bout the good times

Stockyards lyrics - Casey Donahew Band

The stockyards its my backyard that's where I grew up
Its where I drank my first beer I cried my first tear
On the corner of north and main
Down the bricks of exchange I felt so strange
She reached down and gave me a kiss
And in the shadows of downtown I hung around
To find me a gold buckle queen

[Chorus:]
In the stockyards its my backyard that's where I grew up
Its were I drank my first beer I cried my first tear
On the corner of north and main
In the stockyards its my backyard that's where I grew up

If your down in the shoots twirling the loops
Cadilliac's is probably your spot
Man its cowboy hats and cowboy cats
As far as the eye can see
And I'll be coming back real soon to longhorns saloon
So Alex can pour me a beer

[Chorus]

If your on the chase I know the place
William Roberts will surly suffice
And if your not sure just drink one more
She'll look better I swear
Cause I was given birth in south fort worth
That's where I'll live and die

[Chorus]

Not sure where you are it could be PR's
I've been lost there myself
Two steps from my pillow the shut down armadillo
I stopped off and bought one round

[Chorus]

Lost Days lyrics - Casey Donahew Band

[Verse 1:]
Well its been a long time since I seen you around
and when was the last time you laid a foot in my town
my doors still open and you know the way to my place
and I still spend all night long dreamin about your face

[Chorus:]
I roll out of bed with you in my head
and I spend my time thinkin about what you said
wish I knew what I put you through
well I'd love to see you if you wanted to too
but if you don't call it will be ok
cause I've got a heartache to get me through the lost days

[Verse 2:]
my friends have saw you when you were walkin down main
you been in town three days haven't called I'm goin insane
but I still remember we'd get high and love all night
but I still wake up alone till the dawning of the light

[Chorus]

And everything I do just seems so wrong
and you been gone now for so long
and everyone around here thinks we're done
but I still feel the pain with the rising of the sun

[Chorus]

New Orleans lyrics - Casey Donahew Band

Well I walked on down to Bourbon Street
I'm looking for the house of New Orleans
And I sold off all my whiskey
I bummed a cigarette from a man who had no arms
And I asked him for directions
He just turned around and walked on down the road

[Chorus]
Well I remember the night
That we danced out in the rain
I remember the night
That she helped me thru my pain
I know there's times I feel like I could go insane
But I remember the night that we danced in the rain

I walked on down to the waters edge
Watched the Mississippi river boats flying down that waterline
And I watched couples walking in the sand and holding hands
Well I got lost that night in the shadows of the dam

[Chorus X2]

High lyrics - Casey Donahew Band

I'm cruising down mainstreet in an '87 Chevrolet
I'm rollin down 174 tryin to find some more
Wish I had a little money I'd spend it all on you
I'd buy us a quarter bag and twelve pack of brew

[Chorus]
And we'll get high, and I drink
Well I'm tryin not to think
And I get stoned and I'm drunk
Well I'm tryin to change my luck
Just gettin by
Well I'm a-gettin by, gettin high, yeah

Walkin down Browns mountain tryin to find my way around
I hope I don't get stopped by the cops in this here town
Head on to the south side and the cemetary trails
A worn out fishin hole where I raised a lot of hell

[Chorus]

There's a girl that lives on my street
Strawberry blonde, she tastes so sweet
I wanna tell her all the words in my heart
She moved away then she tore my world apart

[Chorus]

Fifteen minutes south of the Fort Worth city lights
We watch football games here on Friday nights
I grew up slow and now I'm living so fast
Running out of liquor and this quarter bag won't last

[Chorus 2x]

Tulsa lyrics - Casey Donahew Band

You always said you'd never leave me
Now you are gone and I'm to blame
Living in a hotel room by the airport
I hear you're seeing what's his name

[Chorus]
But those bright lights up in Tulsa
Don't shine here in Ft. Worth
Lying to myself won't do no good
That northern wind blows colder
And you're lying on his shoulder
Well I'm alone, I'm alone
She's in Tulsa

I try to sleep but I hear my heart break
I try to cry but there's no more tears
I can't believe you finally left me
We've been together for five damn years

[Chorus X3]

Let It Take Over You lyrics - Casey Donahe Band

Whats goin on in my head
These three words I just said
and what is the deal with the way that I feel when you walk in a room.
Well I guess I'm falling apart,
She's got the keys to my heart,
and though I long for her touch,
cause I love her so much please be my girl.
And now I wanna feel you by me,
now I wanna what you see.
Now when you look in my eyes,
do you see any lies, why much you run?
Has something begun, Let it take over you.
Well I'll give you all that I've got,
and I wont be what I'm not.
I'll let my passion unfold and ask you, that I hold,
if you'll give me a chance, there's nothing more I can say,
I love you more everyday,
and I know its for real cause your kisses
i steal every chance that i get,
And now I wanna feel you by me,
now I wanna know what you see.
Now when you look in my eyes,
do you see any lies, why much you run?
Has something begun?
Let it take over you.
Because its sure taken me,
I was blind now I see
Why must you run has something begun,
Let's have some fun,
Let it take over you
Just let it take over you
Just let it take over,
Just let it take over you

Your Gone lyrics - Casey Donahew Band

Now the air turns colder
I wish that I had told her
Everything I know my heart should say
Ive been lying here thinking,
Been up all night, Ive been drinkin
Wash my sins away with a bottle of Jim Beam
I wanted to call but I waited
She's gone and I hate it
Everything I know my heart should say

[Chorus:]
I will spend my days thinkin about forever
And how the days go by so fast
And I just wanna scream so loud
That the walls tumble down
And I just wanna run so fast
I forget the past
And I just wanna breathe the air
Well I know you still care
But you're gone, you're gone

Well I've been sittin here lonely
She's still my only
Sold my soul and I got nothin in return
Sit and stare off to no where
I close my eyes and she's not there
Everyday I know just seems so dark

[Chorus 2X]

Can't Go Back lyrics - Casey donahew band



Well I said things I didn't mean
And you threw down that diamond ring
Turned around with no regrets
Just like we never met
Saw that ring skip across the floor
Said I don't love you anymore

[Chorus]
I never thought leaving would be this hard
Standing out front in the yard
I turn around and watch
While the lights in the house all fade to black
Realize you can't go back

I still love you this I know
And it's so hard to turn and go
I still see you in my dreams
And I still want you to wear that ring
If nothing ever changes
Then life just stays the same
And I'm the only one to blame

[Chorus X2]

Twelve Gauge lyrics - Casey Donahew Band

There's a twelve gauge shotgun lyin on the floor
She's not sure that he's breathin anymore
Now she's sittin on the corner of her bed in her room
Siren's blarin they'll be there soon.

Now she's cryin with her head in her hands
Talkin so fast that they don't understand
Said he hit her that morning, he hit her that night
All she remembers was a flashin light

[Chorus]
But he's never gonna hit her again, he's never gonna hit her again
You can be real sure of one thing friend, he'll never ever hit her again.

Well he caught her with a quick right cross
Didn't know the line he'd crossed
Now there's blood in her hair and blood on her clothes
Blood still runnin' from her nose
Well she went and found a box of shells
Gonna take him straight to hell
There were tears on her face when her eyes turned black
Didn't know a twelve gauge could kick like that

[Chorus]

There's a twelve gauge shotgun lyin on the floor
She's not sure that he's breahin anymore
Well they put her in the cop car, took her downtown
All of the neighbors standin around
And now she's cryin with her head in her hands
And talkin to fast that they don't understand
Said he hit her in the morning, he hit her that night
All she remembered was a flashing light

[Chorus 2X]

Love You Like I Do lyrics - Casey Donahew Band

Said you need a little time
Get your mind back to right
You loaded up the trunk of your car
And you drove on out of sight
Went out to California
Spent 3 weeks by the bay
There was nothing I could do or say
That would ever make you stay
You came home but not alone
And your mind just seemed to roam
But I noticed that you'd sneak off
Just to use your telephone

[Chorus]
Now tell me where have you been
And just how far did you go
Well are you headed back
Is there someone there you know
Now he may tell you that he loves you
He may tell you that he's true
But there's no way in this world
He can love you like I do

Does he grab you by the hand
Does he whisper in your ear
Does he hold you while your sleeping
In the darkness pull you near
And does he tell you little stories
Just to see you smile
Would he walk a thousands miles
Just to love you for awhile

[Chorus]

In your eyes I see you leaving
In your lips I taste the wine
Somewhere deep inside of me
I know I'm running out of time

[Chorus]

Down The Road lyrics - Casey Donahew Band

Well she's sittin in a car tryin to figure out
where she'll go
And she don't understand why she let him
break her soul

Now she's bein kinda small and it hurts when you fall
I guess it all hurts the same
But she can't believe that its time to leave but she's
headed down the road

[Chorus:]
She's got a hundred miles left in her gas tank
And not enough money to care
She grabs the wheel like its no big deal and she's
headed down the road
And she don't care why he left her there she's just
headed down the road

Now she stops and stares in a truckstop mirror
She can't believe what she sees
Has it really been this long and wheres the
Woman that she used to be
But she'll forget all about those regrets when
she's headed down the road

[Chorus]

Now she's locked out, lonely, lost and she
wants to go home
And she reaches down in her pocket to find some
money for the phone
And she just reaches on
She's all alone

[Chorus]

And she's gotta know why he broke her soul so she's
Headed down the road

Back Home In Texas lyrics - Casey Donahew Band

I went up to New York City, It's a yankee pity
Those crazy bastards don't have a clue.
I went down to Tennesee, rocky top I had to see
But I left there cause the corn wont grow
I went down to New Orleans, let me tell you bout that scene
I got drunk on Bourban Street

[Chorus]
But I've been up all night, sippin on whiskey drinkin beer
Back home in Texas, I wouldn't live anywhere but here
Thinkin bout all those night I spent so far away
But I'm back home in Texas, and this is where I'm gonna stay.

I went out to California, my friends I'll have to warn you
They got a kick-ass streak out there
And Las Vegas took all my money, didn't think that it was funny
I lost two grand but I got drunk.
Colorado's cold, the snow it gets real old
It's hard to ski in cowboy boots

[Chorus]

Oklahoma's near, It's not home I fear
I got a better view from the south
Mexico's still hot, don't think that it's my spot
Never heard of Shiner Boch

[Chorus 2X]
