Good Girl
When the lights go down on this little town
and I'm wondering what to do
When I put on my good shirt and jeans with no holes
and slide on my cowboy boots
in my mind I'm always dancing' with you
You were my good girl
the one that I could twirl without ever thinkin'
around the dance floor
You made me look better
than I could ever look by myself
in this honky tonk bar
Don't get me wrong, girl I still think you're a pearl
and I'm happy you found someone new
he may be good lookin'but when he starts a hoofin'
the boy, he just ain't got a clue
In my mind I'm always dancin' with you
You were my good girl
the one that I could twirl without ever thinkin'
around the dance floor
You made me look better
than I could ever look by myself
in this honky tonk bar
Now, I'm drivin' these dirt roads tryin' to unload
these boots that are filled with the blues
If you see my by my pickup kickin' the dust up
and howling' by the light of the moon
in my mind I'm just dancin' with you
In my mind I'm always dancin' with you

The Sober Life (Breen)
The night time is the hardest time alone
you keep waiting’ to have a drink but you don’t
No, it ain’t as easy as you thought
The sober life is not a little hard
it’s a lot
When you’ve lost damn near everything and everyone
When your only choice is the very last one
No, it ain’t as easy as you thought
The sober life is not a little hard
it’s a lot
CHORUS
And the only thing that’s easy now is thinkin’
of all the crazy things you did while drinkin’
and you just want to make it go away
so you get down on your knees and start to pray
Lord, I’m sorry I hurt the ones I love
and I hope they can forgive me for what I’ve done
you see I thought they all were crazy but they’re not
The sober life is not a little hard
it’s a lot
Oh, the sober life is not a little hard
it’s a lot

Cristina Valencia (Breen)
CRISTINA VALENCIA why can't you see
Although you're so young you're the only one
woman for me
My nights are so long and my days are so blue
CRISTINA VALENCIA why can't you love me too
Oh your dark eyes they whisper
To me in the night
You are beauty it haunts me
ai yi yi yi yi yi
What must I do I'd do anything for you
CRISTINA VALENCIA why can't you love me too
Solo
Oh I play you sweet love songs on my guitar
Under your window each night after dark
Just hoping someday you'll invite me to stay
But each morning I wake up and my dream fades away
CRISTINA VALENCIA why can't you see
Although you were so young you're the only one woman for me
My nights are so long and my days are so blue
CRISTINA VALENCIA why can't you love me too
CRISTINA VALENCIA why can you love me too

All Night Long (Breen)
Down by the river in my old home town
there's a place where we used to all hang around
and we'd sing "Will The Circle Be Unbroken"
and we'd play our banjos and fiddles all night long
CHORUS
All night long, all night long
all night long, all night long
Bluegrass and whiskey and that old time sound
used to ring through them hills
when the sun went down and we'd sing
Rocky Top and Ruby and we'd play our guitars and dobros all night long
All night long, all night long
all night long, all night long
These are the memories that I hold so dear
as my friends and my family pass by
and I wonder what I'm doing inside this old
pine box
I should be singin' and a playin'
that Sweetheart of Mine
All night long, all night long
all night long, all night long
The light of the Savior well it lifts me up
and the higher I go the more I see
There's an old Martin guitar and a
band of angels
just waiting' on a song to sing that sweet harmony
All night long, all night long
all night long, all night long
from Mike Breen And The Big Dream - All Night Long, released February 3, 2012

Big Big Dream (Breen)
Baby's coming' My baby's coming' in on a plane
Baby's coming' My baby's coming' in on a plane and I can't wait to hold her and see her sweet face
Baby's coming' My baby's coming' in on a plane
Baby's coming' My baby's coming' in on a plane and I can't wait to hold her and see her sweet face
It's been so long, I've been holdin' on
to this dream and it's gonna come true I believe
'cause it's a big big dream
Yeah, it's a big big dream
it's a big dream dream
it's a big dream dream
so big I can hardly contain
all the love that I feel
Baby's coming' My baby's coming' in on a plane and I can't wait to hold her and see her sweet face
All the diamond rings
and precious things
can't compare
to my baby and the dream that we share
'cause it's a big big dream
Yeah, it's a big big dream
it's a big dream dream
it's a big dream dream
so big I can hardly contain
all the love that I feel
Baby's coming' My baby's coming' in on a plane and I can't wait to hold her and see her sweet face
I can't wait to hold her and see her sweet face

Carnival Queen (Breen)
She's a lifetime commitment she suffers no fools
She can read you she can lead you and she'll take you to school
If you thought you knew love well you ain't got a clue
Della my Della she knows how to do
CHORUS
The carousels’ higher the merry-go-round faster
The barker's all smile when she walks down midway
With my arm around her I feel like I found her
The girl of my small town dreams
Della my carnival queen
She worked concessions when I hired on
Hotdog and a frosty root beer and it wasn't
Last time I thanked sweet God up above
For the girl at the counter, Della my love
CHORUS
The carousels’ higher the merry-go-round faster
The barker's all smile when she walks down midway
With my arm around her I feel like I found her
The girl of my small town dreams
Della my carnival queen
And I just can't wait to put up that closing sign
On this roller coaster because tonight me and Della we're going to ride
I'm just a hayseed Lord knows where I'd be
If it weren't for the woman who is right beside me
As we walked down the aisle with our friends looking on
Hi wire Ronnie and fire eating John
CHORUS
The carousels’ higher the merry-go-round faster
The barker's all smile when she walks down midway
With my arm around her I feel like I found her
The girl of my small town dreams
Della my carnival queen
