It's five O'clock, just got paid
I'll be off the next two days
No more workin' like dogs
No more leash, no more boss
I got a weekend of nothin' to do at all
Yee haw!
I know a place down the road
The girls are hot, the beer is cold
It's two-for-one, yeah, that's right
Not just drinks, it's girls to guys
I hear the twins are back in town from Saginaw
Yee haw!
You take your all-right, you take your can't-wait
A lotta of bring-it-on and some damn straight
And mix it all up with some down home southern drawl, y'all
You got your yee haw!
The place is packed, the line is long
The band knows every Haggard song
I'm gettin' loose, I've had a few
She wants to dance, I do too
But her boyfriend's mad, I, I think he wants to brawl
All right, yee haw!
You take your all-right, you take your can't-wait
A lotta of bring-it-on and some damn straight
And mix it all up with some down home southern drawl, y'all
You got your yee haw!
I'm talkin' big time, I mean saddle up ad hold on tight
And if you know what I'm talkin' about, y'all, yeah
How about a yee haw! Ha, ha
I've lived all my life with no ties that bind
There wasn't anything or anyone that I couldn't leave behind
I could always find a getaway from what I was hiding from
It's looking like I've run out of places to run
Everywhere I go and everything I do
There ain't a corner that I turn that ain't one big déjà vu
She told me when I walked away this day would come
She was right, I've run out of places to run
Everywhere I go and everything I do
There ain't a corner that I turn that ain't one big déjà vu
I could always find a getaway from what I was hiding from
She was right, I've finally run out of places to run
I had a one night stand with my best friends baby sister
And to this day he still wont speak to me
I pawned my grandpa's old guitar in collage
For a case of beer and a tank of gasoline
I took a swing at my old man at Christmas
I never dreamed that it would be his last
I wish mom had rung my neck
When she caught me with them cigarettes
Which reminds me, I'm down to my last pack
If I had a dime
For half the things I did
That didn't make no sense at all
I'd be living a little higher on the hall
If only I'd've known
That later on down the road
I'd look back and not like what I see
I'd've changed a lot of things
Startin' with me
I called my brother everything I could think of
The night he wouldn't bail me out of jail
I lost a job most folks ‘round here would die for
By laying out all night and raising hell
And I let a woman that I love slip through my fingers
Chalk another dumb move up to my foolish pride
I was there standin' by the bed
When the preacher bowed his head
With the family, the day my grandma die
If I had a dime
For half the things I did
That didn't make no sense at all
I'd be living a little higher on the hall
If only I'd've known
That later on down the road
I'd look back and not like what I see
I'd've changed a lot of things
Startin' with me
If only I'd've known
That later on down the road
I'd look back and not like what I see
Whoa, I'd've changed a lot of things
Startin' with me
Startin' with me
She pulled her hair back to sun her shoulders
Took the oil and rubbed it all over her soft skin
Oh, I'm a lucky man
She wasn't wantin' any suntan lines so she
Reached back and she untied that little string
Oh, and then she smiled at me
And blew a kiss right off her fingertips
I don't know what it is
But there's something about a woman
Yeah, some kind sweet little something
That I may never understand
Yeah, some kind of gift they're given
That makes this life worth livin'
And it makes a man a man
Oh, there's nothing like that something
About a woman
I sat there for a while and wondered
And she took a nap there under that summer sky
Oh, and then I realized
There are things in life that are meant to be
Maybe left a mystery
Oh, like that something about a woman
Yeah, some kind sweet little something
That I may never understand
Yeah, some kind of gift they're given
That makes this life worth livin'
And it makes a man a man
Oh, there's nothing like that something
About a woman
Yeah, some kind of gift they're given
That makes this life worth livin'
And it makes a man a man
Oh, I'm nothing without that something
Well hey girl whats ur name?
Havent I seen u before?
I recognized them dark green eyes when u dosey doed across the floor
Are you alone or are you with someone?
She said a matter of fact im not
so i took her hand thats when it all began and we headed towards the parking lot
Chorus:
And she said hey boy, do you mind takin me home tonite?
'cuz I aint never seen a country boy with tires on his truck this
high I said climb on up but watch the cup that
I spit my dip inside and hold on tight cuz its gonna be wilder than any 8 second ride
We went riding round rocking to the sound of "Country Boy Can Surivive"
and I knew then that she was my kind of girl cuz she was singing every single line
Then she slid on over put my hand on her
shoulder and I aksed her what she wanted to do
She said it dont matter where we go just as long as I'm riding with you
Chorus:
And she said hey boy, do you mind takin me home tonite?
'cuz I aint never seen a country boy with tires on his truck this high
I said climb on up but watch the cup that I spit my dip inside
and hold on tight cuz its gonna be wilder than any 8 second ride
So we headed out to old tobacco road
Put the tailgate down and we made love
She said true country boys hard to find but I found one wilder than any 8 second ride
Chorus:
And she said hey boy, do you mind takin me home tonite?
'cuz I aint never seen a country boy with tires on his truck this
high I said climb on up but watch the cup that I spit my dip inside
and hold on tight cuz its gonna be wilder than any 8 second ride
yea hold on tight cuz its gonna be wilder than any 8 second ride

I've always been the kind of man to jump the gun, and cut and run
Stayin' one step ahead of that ol' ball and chain
Settlin' down never crossed my mind, it was easier to leave the knot untied
It looks like a lot of things have changed
You're makin' it hard not to love you, makin' it tough on a man like me
Who's always found a way to get around this kind of thing
'Cause when you put your lovin' on me, I can't help feelin' like I do
Girl, you're makin' it hard not to love you
This mornin' when you kissed my cheek, I was sufferin' from lack of sleep
'Cause we stayed up makin' love half the night
Well, I must have got my second wind 'cause just like that it was on again
Nothing's ever been easier for me in all my life
Girl, you're makin' it hard not to love you, makin' it tough on a man like me
Who's always found a way to get around this kind of thing
'Cause when you put your lovin' on me, I can't help feelin' like I do
Girl, you're makin' it hard not to love you
And baby when you put your lovin' on me, I can't help feelin' like I do
Girl, you're makin' it hard not to love you
Baby, you're makin' it hard not to love you
Hard not to love you
He said he had to stop, he hadn't had a drop of anything
Stronger than coffee in 10 months 3 weeks and 1 long day
He pushed away his plate and said, it's better late then never done
When it comes to gettin' right, it took a while but I saw the light
He said, some things, they cast long shadows
That I never will out run and everyday I spend a-livin'
The ghosts of all the things that I've done wrong
Grab a chair 'cause the list is long
I can write you a country song
About the reasons I'll be going home
To a house full of memories
Things I wish I done differently
When I'm feeling weak, they keep me strong
The ghosts of all the things that I've done wrong
He said, there's a spot of paint
And it just ain't the right shade
But it covers up the hole I've made
Where I broke my wrist the night she left
And there's a lot of friends
That I ain't never seen in a lot of years
Some are still hangin' 'round
In old pictures I just can't take down
He said some things
They cast long shadows
That I never will out run
And everyday I do battle
With the ghosts of all the things I've done wrong
Grab a chair 'cause the list is long
I can write you a country song
About the reasons I'll be going home
To a house full of memories
Things I wish I done differently
And when I'm feeling weak, they keep me strong
The ghosts of all the things that I've done wrong
I got a heart full of memories
Things I wish I'd done differently
And when I'm feeling weak, they keep me strong
The ghosts of all the things I've done wrong
He said he had to stop
He hadn't had a drop of anything
Stronger than coffee in 10 months 3 weeks
Didn't come in here for your sympathy,
and a honky tonk queen's the last thing I need.
Just set me up with your best whiskey.
This is just between the bottle and me.
I don't want to talk. I don't need a friend.
Don't think I stuttered when I said
I'm here to deal with a memory.
Yeah, this is just between the bottle and me.
A man can't face the cold, hard truth
with nothing less than 90 proof.
And closing time is when I'll leave.
Till then it's just between the bottle and me.
You're a good bartender. I know you want to help.
So if you see me talking to myself,
Just walk away and let me be.
Yeah, this is just between the bottle and me.
A man can't face the cold, hard truth
with nothing less than 90 proof.
And closing time is when I'll leave.
Till then it's just between this bottle and me.
A man can't face the cold, hard truth
with nothing less than 90 proof,
And closing time is when I'll leave.
Till then it's just between this bottle and me.
Till then it's just between this bottle and me.

If you ever ate a peach
From down in Georgia
Or just like me
Your a die-hard Earnhardt fan
An if you ever had a sip
Of ol Jack Daniels
Or raised your glass
To sweet home alabam
Then you can Thank Dixie
You can Thank Dixie for that
If you ever got a wiff
Of orange blossoms in the wind
When they start to bloomin in the spring
An if you like your catfish fried
With butter grits there on the side
And swear that boy from memphis
Hes still the king
Then you can Thank Dixie
You can Thank Dixie for that
And if you ever held
One of them pretty lil southern belles
Then you know what were talkin bout yall

Then you can Thank Dixie
You can Thank Dixie for that
You can Thank Dixie
Didn't come in here the old sympathy
And a honky tonk please, the last thing I need
Just set me up with your best whiskey
Yeah, this is just between the the bottle and me
I don't wanna talk, I don't need a friend
Don't think I stuttered when I said
I'm here to deal with a memory
Yeah, this is just between the the bottle and me
Man can't face the cold hard truth
With nothing less than ninety proof
In closing time, that's when I leave
'Til then it's just between the bottle and me
You're a good bartender, I know you wanna help
So if you see me talking to myself
Just walk away and let me be
Yeah, this is just between the bottle and me
A man can't face the cold hard truth
With nothing less than ninety proof
In closing time, that's when I leave
'Til then it's just between the bottle and me
A man can't face the cold hard truth
With nothing less than ninety proof
In closing time is when I leave
'Til then it's just between the bottle and me
Well, you look like an angel with the old head in the clouds
You woke me up this morning with the old foolin' around
At a half past three, oh, lately I don't get much sleep, but that's alright
'Cause girl, it feels so good the way that you bring out the bad in me
You call me up at work, said, "Baby can you come on home?
I'm feeling kind of crazy and I'm all alone
I got nothing on, tell your boss it's an emergency there's a man in need"
'Cause, girl, it feels so good the way that you bring out the bad in me
Oh, I'd rather ask forgiveness than permission
'Cause I'm new in all these things, I'd never dream
You put me in a delicate position but I'm right where I wanna be, yeah
Girl, it feels so good the way that you bring out the bad in me
You're like a shot of whiskey to a man that don't drink
Just one taste of you and baby I can't think straight
I'm on my knees, girl, I love your dirty piece
It feels so good the way that you bring out the bad in me
Oh, I'd rather ask forgiveness than permission
'Cause I'm new in all these things, I'd never dream
You put me in a delicate position but I'm right where I wanna be, yeah
Girl, it feels so good the way that you bring out the bad in me
Yeah, it feels so good the way that you bring out the bad
She said she loved me, all night long,
I couldn't help but let her string my heart along,
I knew better, I still do,
But I'm not the first man, who's ever played the fool.
So tell why do I keep holdin' on,
Oh why do I keep starin' down the barrel of a loaded gun,
So tell me why can't I just let go, somebody knows,
well then tell me.
I won't point the finger, but I'll take the blame,
Cause I saw her comin' from a million miles away,
I should have faught the feelin,
But I gave in, cause those lyin' blue eyes kept pullin'
me back in.
So tell why do I keep holdin' on,
Oh why do I keep starin' down the barrel of a loaded gun,
So tell me why can't I just let go, somebody knows, well
then tell me.
Oooohhhhhhhhh...
So tell why do I keep holdin' on,
Oh why do I keep starin' down the barrel of a loaded gun,
So tell me why can't I just let go, somebody knows,
I had a one night stand with my best friend's baby sister
And to this day he still won't speak to me

Somewhere there's a girl out there tonight
Heartbroken, and it's showin', a little less with every glass of wine
It won't take too much time till she catches the eye
Of someone who she can talk to, to get that certain someone off her mind
Chorus
Yeah, she's had too many sleepless nights
With no one there to hold her tight
She's gettin' tired of lyin' there alone
Yeah, she's gonna cry a few more tears
But they're about to disappear
She's right there on the edge of movin' on
Yeah, she might be lonely, but she won't be lonely too long
Somewhere there's a man out there tonight
Regrettin' ever lettin' a woman like her walk out of his door
Knowin' if he'd only payed a little more attention, maybe listened
She wouldn't need what she's out lookin' for
Chorus
Yeah, she's had too many sleepless nights
With no one there to hold her tight
She's gettin' tired of lyin' there alone
Yeah, she's gonna cry a few more tears
But they're about to disappear
She's right there on the edge of movin' on
Yeah, she might be lonely, but she won't be lonely too long
She's had too many sleepless nights
With no one there to hold her tight
She's gettin' tired of lyin' there alone
Yeah, she's gonna cry a few more tears
But they're about to disappear
She's right there on the edge of movin' on
Yeah, she might be lonely
She might be lonely
Oh, she might be lonely
Well I can feel the sun shinin' on my face
And in the trees I hear the winds of change
The sky is blue and the grass is green
God is good, do you know what I mean?
That's a feelin' that grows
It's a feelin' that I know
So radio won't you play me some forgotten song
I wanna sing along, and feel that way again
I wanna run down that ole dirt road
Just to see how far she still goes
She used to run for miles when I was a kid
And that's a feelin' that I know..
It's a feelin' I get no matter where I go
Cause there really is no place like home
It's a part of me only you can find
Deep in my heart, and in my mind
It's a feelin' that grows
It's a feelin' that I know
So radio won't you play me some forgotten song
I wanna sing along, and feel that way again
I wanna run down that ole dirt road
Just to see how far she still goes
She used to run for miles when I was a kid
And that's a feelin' that I know..
It's the old oak tree where I carved my name
And baseball was my favorite game
And mama wiped the tears from my eyes
When Jenny broke my heart and made me cry
And it's a feelin' that grows
It's a feelin' that I know
So radio won't you play me some forgotten song
Hey you kids, bullying the kids down at your school
one of these days you're gonna grow up, be ashamed
who gave you the right to decide who is and who aint cool
who could sit at your table and be on your team and play your games
CHORUS
let 'em shine, shine like a diamond
give 'em time and you'll fine theres not cover rose
God's light shines for everybody
so get outta His way
nothin grows in shadows
hey fathers, screamin' at your kids from the bleachers
saying "quit actin like a sissy, suck it up and win"
maybe you ought'a stop and think about what you're teaching
yeah you talk about a loser, I dont think it's them
CHORUS
let 'em shine, shine like a diamond
give 'em time and you'll fine theres not cover rose
God's light shines for everybody
so get outta His way
nothin grows in shadows
well I aint sayin' I aint been a shadow myself
a dark cloud that rained on somebody else
well I learned a lesson that I need to tell
the doctor that saved my mommas life
helped beat her cancer, made sure she got well
was a kid I went to school with all my life
man I used to give him hell
CHORUS
let 'em shine, shine like a diamond
give 'em time and you'll fine theres not cover rose
God's light shines for everybody
so get outta His way
nothin grows in shadows
oh get outta His way
nothin grows in shadows
Tryin' to keep that wolf at bay
Twelve out of twenty-four hours a day
I'm bustin' it, I'm breakin' my back
Swing that hammer, stomp that shovel
Boss man says, "Boy, you're pullin' a double"
It's always me, pickin' up the slack
Nobody said it was easy
But girl it's been a long hard day
It seems we work our lives away
Five o'clock I'm beat, dead on these two feet
But girl when I come home to you
The only thing I wanna do
Is baby hold you tight 'cause all that gets me through
After a long day is a long night with you
One of those nights when we don't sleep
The two of us fittin' like a puzzle piece
Turnin' up the heat with the lights down low
So go ahead honey and pour the wine
I'm a little overdue for some overtime
In your lovin' arms, I ain't lettin' you go
Yet at night we'll take it slow an' easy
'Cause girl it's been a long hard day
It seems we work our lives away
Five o'clock I'm beat, dead on these two feet
But girl when I come home to you
The only thing I wanna do
Is baby hold you tight, 'cause all that gets me through
After a long day is a long night with you
Girl when I come home to you
The only thing I wanna do
Is baby hold you tight, 'cause all that gets me through
After a long day is a long night
Girl, it's been a long day and I'll need a long night with you
Just a little bit longer baby
Georgia backroad honeysuckle,
Southwest Texas big belt buckle,
West Virginia homemade whiskey,
Send it on up to St. Paul city,
Float it back down the Mississippi,
Doesn't matter where you are,
It's the same old stripes,
The same old stars,
The same old highways cuttin' across,
The same old moon turnin' on and off,
Canned up Chevy at a traffic light,
With a pretty girl on a Saturday night,
And Willie Nelson singin' "On The Road" again,
Lookin' around it's good to see,
Everybody out there keepin' it country.
Broadway, Nashville, Pedalsteal,
L.A. lights on 18 wheels,
Ride that sun across the sky,
From Jackson Hole to Telluride,
And get a little Rocky Mountain high,
Doesn't matter where you are,
It's the same old stripes,
The same old stars,
The same old highways cuttin' across,
The same old moon turnin' on and off,
Canned up Chevy at a traffic light,
With a pretty girl on a Saturday night,
And Willie Nelson singin' "On The Road" again,
Lookin' around it's good to see everybody out there,
Keepin' it country.
From muscle shows to Santa Rose,
From Bakersfield to Tullahoma,
From Baton Rouge up to Buffalo,
Anywhere that you might call home,
Doesn't matter where you are,
It's the same old stripes,
The same old stars,
The same old highways cuttin' across,
The same old moon turnin' on and off,
Canned up Chevy at a traffic light,
With a pretty girl on a Saturday night,
And Willie Nelson singin' "On The Road" again,
Lookin' around it's good to see everybody out there,
Keepin' it country.
Everybody out there keepin' it country,
Thank God y'all are keepin' it country,
Keepin' it country,
box of sunshine, bottle of rain
fistful of wind from a west-texas plain
tell me you want it, baby, that's all you've gotta do
I'll do anything for you
I'd walk the Mississippi, I'd drown in your kiss
catch a star in a mason jar, so you could make your wish
whatever that may be, baby, I'll make it come true
I'll do anything for you
CHORUS
You are the reason I live my religion,
the air that I breathe, you're that deep in me
and I'll give you my heart and my soul,
there's no fire I wouldn't walk through
I'll do anything for you
I'd call on the nightingale to write you a song
I'll sing you to sleep, baby, and I'll wake you at dawn
I'll wrap you in sweet dreams the whole night through
I'll do anything for you
CHORUS
You are the reason I live my religion,
the air that I breathe, you're that deep in me
and I'll give you my heart and my soul,
there's no fire I wouldn't walk through
I'll do anything for you
In the shadows of the last sunset,
I'll bargain with God and say, take me instead
after all baby it's the least I can do
I'll do anything for you
It's one way in, it's one way out
it's one stop, one cop, one bar town
where its eight-ball winner breaks, loser racks
it's the same old cars and the same old trucks
the same old coach with the same bad luck
but on friday nights the home team side is packed
it's every reason I left and every reason I go back
CHORUS
yeah it's the same old, same old, nothing's changed
where everybody knows your name
it's a dirt road trip down memory lane
and old flame I cant get passed
it's every reason that I left and every reason I go back
it's the same old questions from my momma's mouth
it's my dads voice "hey boy" just wearing me out
about "yes, sir yes ma'am" you dont talk back
it's the same cheap buddies with the same cheap beer
with the same cheap shots that I always fear
and them same old stories still get the same old laughs
it's evey reason that I left and every reason I go back
CHORUS x2
yeah it's the same old, same old, nothing's changed
where everybody knows your name
it's a dirt road trip down memory lane
and old flame I cant get passed
it's every reason that I left and every reason I go back
The night is early and the sky's still blue
Ain't even got to where we're going to
And you're nibblin' and whisperin' in my ear
What you wanna do?
Baby I do too
Well I don't wanna take this night too fast
It's just beginning, wait a minute, lets make it last
(Chorus)
Easy does it
We're gonna take our time
Girl we got all night
No need to rush it
Let's just kick back and relax
Slow it on down, soak up this moment
Easy does it
The summer sun is finally going down
Parked on this back road not a soul around
And we're kissing and listening to the radio
When "Let's Get It On," just had to come on
Well all day long I've been playin' it cool
You say boy I wanna, when you gonna, make your move?
(Repeat Chorus 2X)
I learned the hard way real early in life
That money sure don't grow on a tree
And there's a few things that a dollar can't buy
The best things in life, they come free
So girl I can't buy you a big diamond ring
No house on a hill full of life's finer things
And I'll tell you right now there's a whole lot that I just can't do
Oh, but baby don't think I can't love you
And when I get home after workin' all day
I'm beat down girl, I'm dead on my feet
But as tired as I am if you wanna play
Well, playin' sounds real good to me
'Cause girl I can't buy you a big diamond ring
No house on a hill full of life's finer things
And I'll tell you right now there's a whole lot that I just can't do
Oh, but baby don't think I can't love you
So girl I can't buy you a big diamond ring
No house on a hill full of life's finer things
And I'll tell you right now there's a whole lot that I just can't do
Oh, but baby, baby, oh baby don't think I can't love you
Jake Owen - Barefoot Blue Jean Night
A full moon shinin' bright
Edge of the water; we were feelin' alright
Back down a country road
The girls are always hot, and the beer is ice cold
Cadillac, horns on the hood
My buddy Frankie had his dad hook him up good
Girls smile when we roll by
They hop in the back, and we cruise to the river side
(Whoa-oh)
Never gonna grow up
(Whoa-oh)
Never gonna slow down
(Whoa-oh)
We were shinin' like lighters in the dark
In the middle of a rock show
(Whoa-oh)
We were doin' it right
(Whoa-oh)
We were comin' alive
(Whoa-oh)
Yeah, caught up in a Southern summer, barefoot, blue jean night
Blue eyes and auburn hair
Sittin' lookin' pretty by the fire in a lawn chair
New to town, and new to me
Her ruby red lips was sippin' on sweet tea
Shot me in love like a shootin' star
So, I grabbed a beer and my ol' guitar
Then we sat around till the break of dawn
Howlin' and singin' our favorite song
(Whoa-oh)
Never gonna grow up
(Whoa-oh)
Never gonna slow down
(Whoa-oh)
We were shinin' like lighters in the dark
In the middle of a rock show
(Whoa-oh)
We were doin' it right
(Whoa-oh)
We were comin' alive
(Whoa-oh)
Yeah, caught up in a Southern summer, barefoot, blue jean night
Whoa-oh, never gonna grow up
Never gonna slow down
We were shinin' like lighters in the dark
In the middle of a rock show
(Whoa-oh)
We were doin' it right
(Whoa-oh)
We were comin' alive
(Whoa-oh)
Yeah, caught up in a Southern summer, barefoot, blue jean night
(Whoa-oh)
Barefoot, blue jean night
(Whoa-oh)
Barefoot, blue jean night
(Whoa-oh)
Well I apologized when I picked her up
Said this old truck is just a fixer up
She smiled and said hey that's ok
just a couple letters missing from the Chevrolet
I pulled out of her country club neighborhood
She was over there looking so damn good
And I was feeling every bit of my side of the tracks
But she took care of that
when she pulled out that moon shine
Tasted like an apple pie
We were wishing and kissing and sipping that stuff
Sho' nuff messing me up
Till I couldn't tell the moonlight from the stars in her eyes
I never felt so fine
caught up in a good time
between her and that apple pie moonshine
well we were dancing around in the high beams
her hands in the back pockets of my jeans
the radio playing the perfect song
I still think about her every time the thing comes on
And I never forget that first kiss
When a country boy got to hold a real princess
I can still taste the cinnamon on her lips
Every time I reminisce
Its sweeter than moonshine tasting like an apple pie
We were wishing and kissing and sipping that stuff
Sho' nuff messing me up
Till I couldn't tell the moonlight from the stars in her eyes
I never felt so fine
caught up in a good time between her and that apple pie moonshine
yeah, I couldn't tell the moonlight from the stars in her eyes
I never felt so fine
Caught up in a good time between her and that apple pie moonshine
If your dream house
Is a double-wide trailer sitting back in the holler
On a country road
Then baby that's where we'll go
If you don't wanna settle down
We can bounce around from town to town
And that's fine with me
If you wanna just ride the breeze
I'll go anywhere,
West Virginia baby I don't care
Mexico on wild hair
Have you ever seen California
Pick a spot on any old map
I travel light and my bags are packed
Just as long as I'm where you're at
I'm gonna have a real good view
I'll go anywhere, anywhere with you
I'll bet there's a two lane
Running right through the middle of a wide open desert to a ghost town
If you wanna just hide out
We could send a post card back
From a mountain top out in Idaho
Maybe get snowed in
Anytime baby you say when
I'll go anywhere,
West Virginia baby I don't care
Mexico on wild hair
Have you ever seen California
Pick a spot on any old map
I travel light and my bags are packed
Just as long as I'm where you're at
I'm gonna have a real good view
I'll go anywhere, anywhere with you
Yeahhh I'll go anywhere
West Virginia baby I don't care
Mexico on wild hair
Have you ever seen California
Pick a spot on any old map
I travel light and my bags are packed
Just as long as I'm where you're at
I'm gonna have a real good view
I'll go anywhere
Girl I'll swear
Just say the word

Aww anywhere, anywhere with you

Don't put your lips up to my mouth, and tell me you can't stay, don't slip your hand under my shirt, and tell me it's ok don't say it doesn't matter cause it's gonna matter to me

Girl I know it’s late for me to be callin’
But what else was I gonna do
I wake up with a heart full of love
And no one around to give it to
It’s just me here staring up at the ceiling
Feelin’ like a watch that’s been wound too tight
Nothin’ but the sound of the box cars rumblin’
In the middle of the night
And I’m wide awake thinkin’ bout you baby

Now honey how about you?
Don’t ya ever feel like this ‘ole rock we’re ridin’

Oh boys, do y'all see that blond in the back
Standing near the bachelorette?
Yeah, well, I've been coming here for the last couple years
She's about as hot as it gets
Well, she's acting kinda shy but just give her a while
Every thing's about to change
No, I can't hear their toast but I know where this goes
It always happens the same
Yeah, one shot will get her out on the dance floor
One more, she starts to like the taste
And a few rounds later she'll be hanging on some fella
Right up in front of the stage
Another couple drinks, oh, they're headed to his place
Tonight is some guy's lucky day
Oh, now who said whiskey
Was meant to drink a woman away?
Oh boys, here she goes, the booze's started flowing
She's beginning to loosen up
Yeah, she and all her friends are headed towards the band
They must've played a songs she loves
Well, she's singing to the music the way them hips are moving
Looks like she's got the feeling right
Well, a slow song is coming, y'all, she's looking round for someone
I swear it happens every time
One shot will get her out on the dance floor
One more she starts to like the taste
And a few rounds later she'll be hanging on some fella
Right up in front of the stage
Another couple drinks, oh, they're headed to his place
Tonight is some guy's lucky day
Oh, now who said whiskey
Was meant to drink a woman away?
And with every sip she takes inhibitions go away
And a good time is all that she sees
Well, excuse me boys, I gotta go and say hello
That lady looks thirsty to me
Well, one shot will get her out on the dance floor
One more she starts to love the taste
And a few rounds later she'll be hanging on some fella
Right up in front of the stage
Another couple drinks, oh, they're headed to his place
Tonight is some guy's lucky day
Oh' now who said whiskey, who said whiskey, who said whiskey
Was meant to drink a woman away?
She rolled in
My little sandy town
She spent the summer there
A couple houses down
Well it was magic in the air
When she caught my eye
We shared three short months
And one long goodbye
She was the one that got away
The one that wrecked my heart
I should've never let her go
I should've begged her to stay
She was the one that got away
Yeah, the one that got away
Well she kissed my lips
Down on Ocean Drive
She set my world on fire
On the fourth of July
We wrote our names in the sand
Under the star-soaked sky
But it washed away like she did
With the rising tide
She was the one that got away
The one that wrecked my heart
I should've never let her go
I should've begged her to stay
She was the one that got away
Every summer that rolls around
I'm looking over my shoulder
Wishing I could see her face
Wishing I could hold her
She was the one that got away
The one that wrecked my heart
I should've never let her go
I should've begged her to stay
She was the one that got away
Yeah, she was the one that got away
The one that wrecked my heart
I should've never let her go
I should've begged her to stay
She was the one that got away
She was the one that got away
She rolled in
My little sandy town
She spent the summer there
He was old school and overalls
Tough as nails as i recall
Fought a war and came back home
Honest as the day was long
Right before my grandpa died he looked me right straight in the eyes
Said here's some words to get you by
Ro help you on the journey of your life
You'll need a hero
And a good dog
Especially a good dog
A hammer and a handsaw
A bandaid now and then
You'll need a home to come home to
Son we all need a refuge
On the straight and narrow path
You need to learn to bend
Get a good square keep it level
Have grace to face the devil
You need an angel flying by your side
On the journey of you
Ride the wind 'til we meet again
On the other side of life
You'll need some good luck and a Bible
Especially a Bible
A lot of faith in god above
And a woman you can love
You'll need a good song that you can sing on
And a shoulder you and lean on
And you gotta draw the line sometimes when push comes to shove
You'll need to lose some to be a winner
And have courage to surrender
Laugh a lot and keep it light
On the journey of your life
And no matter what dreams you're chasing
Never get above your raising
May the simple things be amazing
On the journey of your life
He said I'll be an angel flying by your side
Well that big red sun was sinking slow
That rising hat a haunting glow
I could see those heat waves rising off the ground
We were sitting on go at that old stop sign
Headlights shining on the county line
It was do or die, had to get out of that town
Well honey you said run
We were so young
Trying to set the world on fire
Turn the key and spark the wire
Chasing down a feeling, running on desire
The future was an open road,
Gone in a cloud of smoke
Leaving a trail of flames behind those tires
Just you and me girl, setting the world on fire
Yeah we were setting the world on fire
We were blazing down the road like Kerouac
No time to stop and cover our tracks
We were too damn hot for any one town to hold
Yeah we burned through a few good years
Then you started looking back in that rear view mirror
Right outside of Reno the trail got cold
You said you'd had enough, of this rambling love
Trying to set the world on fire
Turn the key and spark the wire
Chasing down a feeling, running on desire
The future was an open road,
Gone in a cloud of smoke
Leaving a trail of flames behind those tires
For a while there girl we were setting the world on fire
Pulling out a Lucky Strike, bout to head west
Riding off into God's sunset
It's times like this I always think of you
But honey you know me, I'll always be
Trying to set the world on fire
Turn the key and spark the wire
Chasing down a feeling, running on desire
The future is an open road,
Gone in a cloud of smoke
Leaving a trail of flames behind these tires
See I'm out here girl, setting the world on fire
I'm setting the world on fire
The bartender said "Y'all keep it down"
The party was going strong
By the palm trees down at the Tiki bar
Right there in the holidome
We'd been sitting there since happy hour
Had the day off in Omaha
All these girls came in and they wanted to swim
And the clothes started coming off
And it was alright, alright
We just got carried away
Yeah it was alright, alright
Nobody feeling no pain
Well 2 A.M., Room 509
We were all still good to go
Well we damn near blew the speaker out
Of that alarm clock radio
The hotel security man kept knocking
Till his knuckles turned red
While all those daisy duke country girls,
Kept dancing on the king sized bed
And it was alright, alright
We just got carried away
Yeah it was alright, alright
Nobody feeling no pain
Alright I gotta know
How many of y'all ever been out there
In that hotel before?
When they close that old pool bar down
Now I know y'all didn't just go
Back on up to your room
And turn on QVC
And order out for pizza
What you probably did
Was go down to that old ice maker
There in the hallway
And start filling up that bathtub in your room
With as much as ice
And as much liquid refreshments
As it would possibly hold
And pretty soon you've got a big old party going on
And you know
No whistle, no foul
No real harm done
We might've messed up a motel room
But sure did have some fun
And it was alright, alright
We just got carried away
Yeah it was alright, alright
Nobody feeling no pain
Yeah we were alright, alright
We just got carried away
Yeah it was alright, alright
Hey Nobody feeling no pain
Feels good
Woo!
I was good at the game,
when I had nothing to lose.
Then you started playing,
and changed all of the rules.
I stole my share of good hearts in the night,
then vanished before the dawn,
but for the first time in my life I know exactly what I want
I wanna kiss you good morning, let's not let this one end in
goodnight.
It's just the start of our story, and the ending is no where in sight.
I wanna hold you all night,
in the first sign of light, everyday for the rest of my life. From now on I wanna kiss you good morning.
It's never been me
to open every door,
or leave little notes,
or spill my heart on the floor.
I wanna cross that sacred line that says now we're more than friends.
I wanna drink that lover's wine, fall asleep and then
I wanna kiss you good morning, let's not let this one end in
goodnight.
It's just the start of our story, and the ending is no where in sight.
I wanna hold you all night,
in the first sign of light, everyday for the rest of my life. From now on I wanna kiss you good morning.
There's no better way than to start everyday lying next to the one you love.
So baby tonight you can close your eyes and tomorrow when you wake up I'm gonna kiss you good morning.
I wanna hold you all night,
There's a place that they call "Heaven"
Just south of town way up on a hill
They say you can see for miles
When the sun goes down, time stands still
No I've never been up to "Heaven"
But I've always wanted to go
It's ten miles down highway eleven
And ten more minutes up the old dirt road
Chorus
Well hey baby I was hoping
Maybe you'd feel like taking a drive
Cause I can take you on a trip to "Heaven"
And have you back by tonight
Well there's a store on the way to "Heaven"
They oughta have everything we need
A bag of ice, a six pack of something
And a few dollars worth of gasoline
Repeat Chorus
Oh I've heard that it's perfect
So what do you say we see if they're right
Well I can take you on a trip to "Heaven"
And have you back by tonight
Repeat Chorus
There's a place that they call "Heaven"
Just south of town way up on a hill
They say you can see for miles
this old boat kept us afloat
all those years on the lake
I remember that day I heard my best friend say
this is probably the last trip I'll make,
cause the doctors are saying it aint looking good and they doubt that I'll make it to spring
and it's a hell of a note when you never know what tomorrow might bring
CHORUS
so I dont buy green bananas
I dont play the lottery
right now's all I've got goin'
and that's just fine for me
and I dont own an umbrella
if it's rains I'm gonna get wet
so I dont buy green bananas
cause I dont plan that far ahead
it aint the same on these hot summer days
when I'm out here fishin alone
well sometimes I might get a few bites
but then there's days that I don't
so I just roll with the flow
and I rock with the waves
catch me some rays from the sun
and like my friend said
I'm going to live while I can, take each day as it comes
CHORUS
so I dont buy green bananas
I dont play the lottery
right now is all I've got goin'
and that's just fine for me
and I dont own an umbrella
if it's rains I'm gonna get wet
and I dont buy green bananas
cause I dont plan that far ahead
I dont own an umbrella
if it's rains I'm gonna get wet
and I don't buy green bananas
Come on
I said, "Hey girl, what's your name?
Haven't I seen you before?
I recognize them dark green eyes
When you walked through the door"
"Are you alone, or are you with someone?"
She said, "As a matter of fact I'm not"
So I took her hand, that's when it all began
And we headed towards the parking lot
And she said, "Hey boy, do you mind
Taking me home tonight?
'Cause I ain't never seen a country boy
With tires on his truck this high"
I said, "Climb on up, but honey watch the cup
That I'm spitttin' my dip inside
And hold on tight 'cause it's gonna be wilder
Than any eight second ride"
We went ridin' around rockin' to the sound
Of "A Country Boy Can Survive"
And I knew then she was my kinda girl
'Cause she was singin' every single line
Then she slid on over put my hand on her shoulder
And I asked her what she wanted to do
She said, "It really don't matter where we go
Just as long as I'm ridin' with you"
She said, "Hey boy, do you mind
Taking me home tonight?
'Cause I ain't never seen a country boy
With tires on his truck this high"
I said, "Climb on up, but honey watch the cup
That I'm spitttin' my dip inside
And hold on tight 'cause it's gonna be wilder
Than any eight second ride"
So we headed out to Old Tobacco Road
Put the tailgate down and we made love
She said "A true country boy is hard to find
But I found one wilder then any eight second ride"
She said, "Hey boy, do you mind
Taking me home tonight?
'Cause I ain't never seen a country boy
With tires on his truck this high"
I said, "Climb on up, but honey watch the cup
That I'm spitttin' my dip inside
And hold on tight 'cause it's gonna be wilder
Than any eight second ride"
Yeah, hold on tight because it's gonna be wilder
Well I love the way she dances around
In her underwear
She probably woke the neighbors up by now
Ah but she don’t care
Oh what a pretty face
Spillin’ her wine all over the place
Shaking everything she’s got around
Her towel comin’ off and her hair comin’ down
She’s got that look in her eye
She’s drivin’ me crazy, drivin’ me crazy
And I can’t believe she’s
Beautifully, playfully, hopelessly, faithfully mine
She’s prettier than all the other girls
With no make up on
She’s a cupcake, she’s a milkshake,
She’s cool whip, cherry on top
Ah but no for long
Oh I’m a lucky guy
For the life of me I don’t know why
She loves me but I know she does
Cause she shows me every time we make love
She’s got that look in her eye
She’s drivin’ me crazy, drivin’ me crazy
And I can’t believe she’s
Beautifully, playfully, hopelessly, faithfully mine
Oh she’s mine, all mine
She’s got that look in her eye
She’s drivin’ me crazy, drivin’ me crazy
And I can’t believe she’s
Beautifully, playfully, hopelessly, faithfully mine
Oh yes she’s mine, all mine
Ya well I love the way she dances around
Oh she’s prettier than all the other girls
She’s a cupcake, she’s a milkshake,
