Too Cold At Home

Been havin' a ball since i was a boy in beaumont
Love that town but i just couldn't stay
Two stepped all the way to amarillo
Shuffled my way into santa fe
Just had to see the sun set out in frisco
The golden gate is great
But it ain't home
Give me a rodeo

Chorus
Blame it on texas
Don't blame it on me
I am who i am
And that's what i'm gonna be
You can say what you wanna say
About my insanity
Blame it on texas
Don't blame it on me

Met a girl out in eastern oklahoma
Her daddy was a tulsa millionaire
With miles and miles of oil wells he'd leave her
All a man could want was waitn' there
But one night while she lay sleepin' i slipped away
Like no man in his
Right mind would do
Call me a fool
Repeat chorus

(mark wright)

Chorus
There's danger at my door and i don't need no more
Of her danger at my door - all i've been livin' for
Was for her to love me more than she ever loved anybody before
But she broke my heart oh so many times and i'm trying to fight
My will and send her home tonight
There's danger at my door and i don't need no more
Of her danger at my door

Too many times i've chased a false alarm
Too many lonely nights let down my guard
Too many memories make this moment extra special hard

(jim rushing, herb mccullough)

Hey you there in the mirror
I didn't know you had a smile
I've watched the canyons on your face
Grow deeper with the miles
With your heart barely beating
And your spirit black and blue
I was sure that you were headed
For an early waterloo

Hey you there in the mirror
What happened to your frown
That twinkle in those smiling eyes
Is shining like a crown
You must have met somebody
With compassion in her heart
Who looked upon your haggard face
And saw a work of art

Chorus
Hey you there in the mirror
Well aint you lookin' proud
And not long ago you harbored thoughts
Of throwin' in the towel
Each day you're feelin' stronger
There's new life in your blood
Why i thought that weathered face
Would look so good in love

Repeat chorus

There's a bible on the dresser and a sign hung on the door
And a woman in my arms who shouldn't be
I'm to the point of no returning but i've been here before
This cheating life is nothing new to me
There's someone to be considered so i call her on the phone
And say the job is taking longer than i planned i don't have the heart to tell her
That a stranger's turned me on and i'm headed for
The boken promise land

Chorus:
Tonight, i'm crossing over and i'll reach the cheating side
And i'll hate myself for coming here again
Where the streets are paved with misery and lives are built on lies
A place they call the broken promise land

I found a note left on the dresser and a key left in the door
And on the floor i found her goldeb wedding band
Guess she finally had to tell me she's not waiting anymore
She's headed for the broken promise land

Chorus ii:
Tonight she's crossing over and she'll reach the cheating side
And i'll hate myself for giving her the chance
Cause the streets are paved with misery and lives are built on lies
A place they call the broken promise land

Well, it sure feels good to come in here
And just pull up a seat
A frosty mug of a cool one
Helps to beat the heat
These old dog days of summer
Lord, i'll be glad when they're gone
It's too hot to fish, too hot for golf
And too cold at home.

Well, that baseball game on tv
Takes me back to when i was a kid
We proudly wore those uniforms
Just like the dodgers did
Yea!, we won a few and and we lost a few
And for me it still goes on
Too hot to fish, and too hot for golf
And too cold at home.

Chorus

Well, i only planned on one or two
I might stay for three
If that good-lookin' thing in the corner
Keeps smilin' back at me
It's so easy not to care
'bout what's right or what's wrong
It's too hot to fish, too hot for golf
And too cold at home.

Chorus

It's too hot to fish, too hot for golf
And too cold at home.
