When Tyler was 19 he decided to get married
The baby was 3, Sue was 18, just barely.
Sue found a job and put the baby in daycare.
If Tyler held a job for a week, it was rare.
It's just another day in Paradise, Texas
Susan wakes up and fixes some breakfast.
Ty washes up and puts his big hat on,
Laces his boots up while Sue keeps the eggs warm.
t’s just another day in Paradise
Everyone is so nice in paradise
You’ll feel right at home here in Paradise
Welcome to Paradise, Texas.
Tyler met this guy who worked nights at his cousin’s bar
Tyler was impressed by his new BMW sports car.
The man said "Hey Tyler, you can make easy money"
"I can see you've got brains. No, I'm not being funny."
Tyler cooked up speed late at night in the basement
Blacked out the windows to keep all the light in.
Late one night when the whole house was sleeping,
A burner tipped over and the fire began creeping
It's just another day in a jailhouse in Texas
The door slams open and they shove in his breakfast.
Tyler thinks of Sue and their beautiful child,
Covers his head with a pillow and cries.
That big prairie wind just keeps on blowing
Those big eighteen wheelers just keep on rolling
That big yellow moon will soon be showin’
In Paradise, Texas
Welcome to Paradise

Little Jeannie you're so sweet
I swear you really knock me off my feet
Will you come riding in my car
I swear one day you're gonna be a star.
Little girl
Big dreams
Working so hard
Blisters on her feet
Just another day
Another hundred cups
She's so sick of her job
At the coffee shop
Little Jeannie you're so sweet
I swear you really knock me off my feet
Will you come riding in my car
I promise you girl, you're gonna be a star.
Little girl
Big dreams
She failed at school
But she sure can sing
She learned all the hits
On her mother's knee
That girl could sing
By the time she was three
Little Jeannie you're so sweet
I swear you really knock me off my feet
Will you come riding in my car
I promise you girl, you're gonna be a star.

How much will it cost to get your freedom?
How much will it cost to lose a friend?
How long's it take to lose your lover?
How long's it take for a broken heart to mend?
When we were just a couple of kids
Never gave a thought for what we did.
One day after school Jean set fire to our history books.
We laughed so hard our whole bodies shook.
Sad to say Jean was the principal's daughter
If she didn't graduate we'd both be in hot water.
She cried, cried, cried, cried, cried, all night long.
Lord knows how I tried to satisfy her
I tried, tried, tried, tried, tried, tried, tried to get inside her mind.
She cried, cried, cried, cried, cried, all night long.
When I think back to those old times
When we were a couple of crazy wild kids
We skipped a lot of school
Thought we were so cool
We drank too much, tried to act real tough
And smoked a lot of funny stuff.
It's truly a miracle we survived.
We cried, cried, cried, cried, cried, all night long.
I said "Sugar, dry your eyes."
"Dry your eyes....once more."

I never had a girl like her before
I swore I'd give her gold and diamonds and more
She was my world, my everything
In the jewelry store there was a ring
I swore one day she'd be mine (but I was so blindl!)
If you hear from Ramona
Just hang up the phona
She'll fill your head with lies
She's the devil in disguise
With her kisses sweet as honey
You'll soon be acting funny
While she's spending all your money
She's such a trip.
I never had a girl like her before
I swore I'd give her gold and diamonds and more
She was my world, my everything
In the jewelry store there was a ring
I saved up to put it on her finger...
