ItalianoCo-sì,
Cosi mi ha lasciato solo,
Una mattina quasi normale
Dopo il caffè.

Cosi, mi ha lasciato il cane e il pesce rosso,
La pila di panni sporchi,

E i piatti da risciacquare.

Amore, non capirò mai,
Quello che in me non va,

Cosa ho fatto di male,

Le donne, sempre si giocan di me,

Maledizione!
Le donne,

Tutte da me, vanno via.

Così,
Così mentre leggevo il giornale,

S'è fatta la valigia e ciao

Non l’ho vista più.

Così,
Con passo svelto e leggero è fuggita

Un passo che mi diceva:

La cucina falla tu!

Français

Comme ça
Comme ça elle m’a laissé seul,
Un matin presque normal
Après le café.
Comme ça, elle m’a laissé le chien et le poisson rouge,
La pile de linge sale,
Et la vaisselle à faire.

Comme ça,
Comme ça pendant que je lisais le journal,
Elle a fait sa valise et ciao
Je ne l’ai plus revue.
Comme ça,
D’un pas rapide et léger elle a disparu
Un pas qui me disait
:
La cuisine fais-la toi-même
!

Mon amour, je ne comprendrai jamais,
Ce qui ne va pas
Ce que j’ai fait de mal,
Les femmes, se jouent toujours de moi,
Malédiction
!
Les femmes,
S’éloignent toutes de moi.

English

Just like that,
Just like that, she left me alone
An almost ordinary morning
After the coffee
Just like that,
She left me the dog and the goldfish
The pile of dirty laundry
And the washing up to do
Just like that,

Just like that,
Just like that, while I was reading the paper
She packed her bag and ciao!
I never saw her again.
Just like that,
With a quick and silent footstep, she disappeared
A footstep saying to me:
Do your own cooking.

My love, I’ll never understand
What’s the matter
What did I do wrong,
Women scorn me
A curse!
Women,
All get out of my way.

BEER CHASERCHORUSBring me another beer chaser
Another Bloody Mary’s goin’ down
I know it might seem early
But I booked the first flight out of town
That baby of mine found another man
And I ain’t stickin’ around
So bring me another beer chaser
Another Bloody Mary’s goin’ downVERSEWe came out here together
Just about a year ago
I was playin’ guitar at a hotel bar
She was workin’ at the casino
Serving drinks to high rollers
Till one of them caught her eye
Now she’s gone an’ hit the bi0g jackpot
And I’ve gone an’ bought a ticket to flyCHORUSSo bring me another beer chaser
Another Bloody Mary’s goin’ down
I know it might seem early
But I booked the first flight out of town
That baby of mine found another man
And I ain’t stickin’ around
So bring me another beer chaser
Another Bloody Mary’s goin’ downInstrumentalBRIDGEThey’re ready to board at gate #4
Here’s a hundred, you can keep the change
I’m gonna be the last one on
But I’ll sleep it off on the plane
I’ll sleep it off on the planeCHORUSBring me another beer chaser
Another Bloody Mary’s goin’ down
I know it might seem early
But I booked the first flight out of town
That baby of mine found another man

Another Bloody Mary’s goin’ down
Another Bloody Mary’s goin’ down
Another Bloody Mary’s goin’ down

HIGHWAY CALL
VERSE
Don’t try to tie me down, don’t hang my picture on the wall
I see that look in your eye, and you don’t have far to fall
And even this big Montana sky will feel too small when I hear that highway callVERSE
I’ll just start lookin’ around the bend, it happens time and time again
Keep it friendly let’s be friends, don’t try to rope me in
And I’ll hang my hat on your wall, till I hear that highway callCHORUS
Oh I think about the time that I’ve wasted,
Lettin’ this old restless heart get in the way
But everytime the smoke cleared, time dried up those tears
And I saddled up and rode away…rode away…. ay ay
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

CHORUS
Now I think about the times that I’ve wasted,
Lettin’ this old restless heart get in the way
But every time the smoke cleared, time dried up those tears
And I saddled up and rode away…rode away….

VERSE
So don’t try to tie me down, don’t hang my picture on the wall
I see that look in your eye, and you don’t have far to fall
Even this big Montana sky will feel too small, yah this big Montana sky’s gonna feel too small, when I hear that highway call, highway call.

IDLE HOURVERSE
There’s a place down the street

Where my friends congregate
And when we sit on those bar stools
We’re not alone
10 am the lights are on
Beer’s cold, the whiskey’s strong
And we’re drowning those memories
One by one
CHORUS
You can meet me at the idle hour
Where the juke box plays all those country songs
If you’re tryin’ to hang on

To a love that’s dead and gone
With too many reasons not to go back home

VERSE
The neon lights are bright
Even tho it’s past midnight
And the band’s packed up and moved on
Stare at the clock on the wall
Bartender says last call
And I start missin’ her most of all

CHORUS
So, you can meet me at the idle hour
Where the juke box plays all those country songs
So if you’re tryin’ to hang on
To a love that’s dead and gone
With too many reasons not to go back home
Too many reasons not to go back home

DRIVIN’ HOME
VERSE
There’s a four-lane highway, stretched up ahead
People rollin’ 90 miles an hour, and going nowhere
So when you need to slow down, I just turn that car around
And take the back roads thru the country when I’m drivin’ home

VERSE
Sweet country music, on the radio
Playin’ all those old songs we used to know
Ohh, They take me back, to a place not long ago
When we took the back roads thru the country
When we’re drivin’ home

INSTRUMENTAL break

VERSE
Rollin’ hills, deep blue skies, farmer Brown will tip his hat when you drive by
Oh, we’re movin’ so fast, leave your troubles in the past and
Take the back roads thru the country when you’re drivin’ home

VERSE
There’s a four-lane highway, stretched up ahead
People rollin’ 90 miles an hour and gettin’ nowhere
So when you need to slow down, just turn this car around
And take the back roads thru the country

Take the back roads thru the country
Take the back roads thru the country when I’m drivin’ home
Drivin’ home

TOO MANY HONKY TONKS

VERSE
I know she didn’t mean to hurt me
She tried so hard to make it right
I guess I lost out to the whisky
But I wonder where my baby is tonight

CHORUS
‘Cause when her tears start fallin’
Her goodtime friends come callin’
And they won’t keep her feet

On solid ground
From lonely street to misery
Uptown on down
There’re just too many honky tonks around

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE
The neon lights are shinin’
Right thru the warm glow of this wine
And my ole heart is pinin’
And I wonder where she’ll be

At closing time.

CHORUS
‘Cause when her tears start fallin’
Her goodtime friends come callin’
And they won’t keep her feet

On solid ground
From lonely street to misery
Uptown on down
There’re just too many honky tonks around

From lonely street to misery
Uptown on down
There’re just too many honky tonks around
