Chris Isaak. Summer Holiday. . I was standing all alone. wondering what went wrong. with the love that seemed so strong. that summer holiday. that holiday.
While I was walkin' one mornin' for pleasure. I spied a young cowboy just ridin' along. His hat was throwed back and his spurs were jinglin'. And as he approached he was singin' this song.
Speak of the devil. The devil appears. Waiting for someone. Been waiting for years. And it's alright now. Yeah I'm alright now. . Watching her walking.
When the freedom you've know has left you a broken man. When everything you've ever owned slipped thru your hands. Well it don't really matter at all and you don't give a damn.
South of the border, down Mexico way.. That's where I fell in love where stars above, came out to play.. And now as I wonder, my thoughts ever stray..
You've finally arrived at the goals that you set. You thought that was it boy, oh, but you can't quit yet. There's a lonesome old road and it starts at the top.
I know somebody and they cry for you. They lie awake at night and dream of you. I bet you never even know they do but somebody's crying. . I know somebody and they called your name.
Just about two hundred years ago they signed that declaration. Tellin' everybody in the whole wide world. They're gonna start a brand new nation. From that day on the 4th of July has been a holiday.
For your love I'd rope the moon and put it in a blender. Mix up a concoction bound to make you surrender. I'd bite the brand off a bucking Brahma bull.
Don't you want somebody to love. Someone who could be your true love. Going, always gone. Don't you want these arms around you. Remember when it was I found you.
We're a [c]fun lovin? crowd, kinda [f]rowdy and loud,. Our [c]jukebox won't play no sad [g]songs,. So [c]don't come in here and [f]cry in your beer,. Cause we [c]don't care about [g]who done who [c]wrong..
Belinda was mine till the time that I found her. Holding Jim, loving him. Sue came along loved me strong, that's what I thought. Me and sue, that died too.
Well I called you for the last time, I won't hang around no more. I don't even remember the number on your door. I don't need you any longer, I don't want your devil's charm.
Sweeter than the grapes growin' out in California. Softer than the fuzz on the sweetest Georgia peach. Warms you goin' down like a twenty-two year old brandy.
[Chorus]. Feel like I'm gettin' into something good. Don't want to stop so I'm knocking on wood. I think my streak of bad luck is over. I'm rolling in a field of five leaf clovers.
Her hair is gold and her eyes are oh so blue. She's all the things a girl should be, but she's not you. . She knows just how to make me laugh when I feel blue.
My father had so much to tell me. Things he said I had to know. "Don't make my mistakes, there are rules you can't break". But I had to find out on my own.
She got a roof that don't leak. When the rain's pourin' down. She got a place I can sleep. Where I'll be safe and sound. . She got a lock on her door.
I'm watching somebody's heart break in two.. And wondering if somewhere your crying to.. Shadows in a mirror tell me that I'm wrong.. Shadows in a mirror, tell me that we're through..
Well, now cowboys love the ladies. They like beans and sour dough. Good horses and hot black coffee and campfires burnin' low. You know we love that cowboy music.
