(i promise u, im sad)
Sing the wondrous love of Jesus
Sing His mercy and His grace
In the mansion's bright and blessed
He'll prepare for us a place
When we all get to Heaven
What a day of rejoicing that will be
When we all see Jesus
We'll sing and shout the victory
While we walk the pilgrim pathway
Clouds will over spread the sky
But when travelin' days are over
Not a shadow, not a sign
When we all get to Heaven
What a day of rejoicing that will be
When we all see Jesus
We'll sing and shout the victory
Onward to the prize before us
Soon His beauty we'll behold
Soon the Pearly Gates will open
We shall tread the streets of gold
When we all get to Heaven
What a day of rejoicing that will be
When we all see Jesus
We'll sing and shout the victory
When we all see Jesus
When I get where I'm going
On the far side of the sky
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly
I'm gonna land beside a lion
And run my fingers through his mane
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain
[Chorus]
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here
I'm gonna walk with my grand daddy
And he'll match me step for step
And I'll tell him how I missed him
Every minute since he left
Then I'll hug his neck
[Repeat chorus]
So much pain and so much darkness
In this world we stumble through
All these questions I can't answer
So much work to do
But when I get where I'm going
And I see my maker's face
I'll stand forever in the light
Of his amazing grace
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
Hallelujah
I will love and have no fear
When I get where I'm going
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Two Tear Drops – Brad Paisley
Two teardrops were floatin' down the river
One teardrop said to the other,
“I'm from the soft blue eyes of a woman in love.
I'm a tear of joy she couldn't carry.
She was so happy she'd just gotten married.
I was on her cheek when she wiped me away with her glove.
I could tell on the look on her face, she didn't need me.
So I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea.'
The other tear said, “We've got a connection.
I'm a tear of sorrow born of rejection.
I'm from the sad brown eyes of her old flame.
She told him they would be life long companions,
Left him with questions and not enough answers.
I was on his cheek as he stood there callin' her name.
I could tell he had a lot of my friends for company.
So I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea.'
Oh the ocean's a little bit bigger tonight,
Two more teardrops somebody cried,
One of them happy and one of them bluer than blue.
The tide goes out and the tide comes in,
And someday there'll be teardrops again,
Released in a moment of pleasure or a moment of pain.
Then they'll drift on down and ride to the sea again.
Last night I sat in the waiting room,
The nurse walked in and gave me the news,
It's a baby girl and they're both fine.
An old man sittin' not ten feet away,
Just lost his wife, and he said to me,
“You've got a brand new angel and I've lost mine.
I guess the good lord givedth and the good lord taketh away.'
And we both wiped a teardrop from our face.
Oh the ocean's a little bit bigger tonight,
Two more teardrops somebody cried,
One of them happy and one of them bluer than blue.
The tide goes out and the tide comes in,
A whole new circle of life begins,
Where tears are a part of the pleasure, and part of the pain.
Till they drift on down and ride to the sea again.
Instrumental
Finally got that promotion I worked hard to get
One that came with a company car
When they gave me the keys they said son you can bet
Keep it up and you'll really go far
But what good is all that knowin'
The best thing that I had goin'
Is gone
My good friends come around to hang out now and then
And they joke, man you've sure got it hard
With this house on the hill and a white picket fence
And the grass sure is green in the yard
Well I squandered my time trying to buy everything
Gave her all that I thought she deserved
Now I know all the things that she wanted were free
instrumental
Sleepin' on the foldout thanks to me and my big mouth
Why did I do what I did
I should'a known better than to lie
But it's too late and so tonight I'm
Sleepin' on the foldout sofa-bed
She wanted me to go and see her family
But I told her that I had to work
I never dreamed she'd get home so dang early
And she caught me cleanin' fish
Out on our back porch
And now I'm
I can't believe they call this thing a mattress
It's 2 a.m. and I'm wide awake
Lookin' back I should'a just been honest
Instead of tellin' her the whole staff
Spent the day out on the lake
And now I'm
Hey, Dude, the record's over.
There are no more tracks.
If you want more music, go back to track one.
That's what I would do.
I mean it's really a good record.
Otherwise: get a life.
Album: Sharp Dressed Men: A Tribute to ZZ Top
Clean shirt, new shoes
And I don't know where I am goin' to.
Silk suit, black tie,
I don't need a reason why.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.
Gold watch, diamond ring,
I ain't missin' not a single thing.
And cufflinks, stick pin,
when I step out I'm gonna do you in.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.
--- Instrumental ---
Top coat, top hat,
I don't worry 'cause my wallet's fat.
Black shades, white gloves,
Lookin' sharp and lookin' for love.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl grazy 'bout a sharp dressed man...
I have come up with a substitute for Viagra.
(What is it?)
It is Fix A Flat and Miracle Gro.
An' it's called Flat Miracle.
I'm sittin' on the fender of someone else's truck
Drinkin' Old Crow Whiskey and hot 7 Up
Out in the parkin' lot
You can hear the band playin'
Right through the walls
Ain't no cover charge
Ain't no last call
Out in the parkin' lot
[Chorus]
Yeah, I love to see the neon dancin' on the gravel
And I love to hear the pickup trucks as they come unraveled
Some 've given up
Some 've given in
Looks like everybody's lookin' for a friend
Out in the parkin' lot
Whoops, there's a couple
Who could not wait to get home
They're probably in love so let's leave them alone
Out in the parkin' lot
There's a couple of cowboys
Puttin' up their dukes
But there weren't much to it after both of 'em puked
Out in the parkin' lot
[Repeat chorus]
Now the band is on the bus
And they're all loaded up to leave
But the drummer's got a girlfriend
And she's tuggin' at his sleeve
Out in the parkin' lot
[Repeat chorus]
I'm sittin' on the fender of someone else's truck
Drinkin' Old Crow Whiskey and hot 7 Up
Out in the parkin' lot
She says not to buy her flowers
Or big expensive gifts
She says she don't want jewlery
And she doesn't need another dress
If I want to show her how much I adore her
The best way that I've found
Is to make sure when I'm finished
I put that toilet seat down
We've been to counseling
To try and see the ways we could improve
This thing between us
And different ways to show each other 'I love you'
Forget about those getaway vacations
To romantic coastal towns
If you want to say 'I love you'
Then put that toilet seat down
'Cause in the middle of the night
It's cold and it's dark
And when I hear my name in vain
I know I haven't done my part
She just wants me to support her
And the best way that I've found
So with a gentle hand and a loving touch
I put that toilet seat down
I know it's kind of funny
You can teach a little puppy
But it's very hard to train a grown man
When I'm all about my buisiness
And the path of least resistance
She's the one that suffers in the end
In the middle of the night
It's cold and it's dark
And when I hear my name in vain
I know I haven't done my part
She just wants me to support her
And the best way that I've found
So with a gentle hand and a loving touch
I put that toilet seat down
Down, down
(Brad Paisley)
Mother - do not cry for me
All of this is exactly how it's supposed to be
(Sara Evans)
I'm right here. Can you hear my voice?
My life, my love, my Lord....my baby boy
(Brad Paisley)
As they nail me to this tree
Just know my Father waits for me
(Sara Evans)
God how can this be your will?
To have your son and my son killed?
(Brad Paisley)
Whatever happens...whatever you see...
Whatever your eyes tell you has become of me
This is not...
Not the end...
I am making all things new again
(Sara Evans)
I remember when you were born
In that manger where I first held
You in my arms
So many miracles and lives you've changed
And this world repays you how?
With all this pain
(Both)
Whatever happens(Whatever happens)...whatever you see(I don't wanna see)...
Whatever your eyes tell you has become of me
This is not...
Not the end...
I am making all things new again
Mother - do not cry for me
All of this is exactly how it's supposed to be
I'm right here. Can you hear my voice?
My life, my love, my Lord....my baby boy
As they nail me to this tree
Just know the Father waits for me
God how can this be your will?
To have your son and my son killed?
Whatever happens...whatever you see...
Whatever your eyes tell you has become of me
This is not...
Not the end...
I am making all things new again
I remember when you were born
In that manger where I first held
You in my arms
So many miracles and lives you've changed
And this world repays you how?
With all this pain
Well I'll never forget the first time that I heard
That pretty mouth say that dirty word
And I can't even remember now
What she backed my truck into
But she covered her mouth and her face got red
And she just looked so darn cute
That I couldn't even act like I was mad
Yeah I live for little moments like that
That's like just last year on my birthday
She lost all track of time and burnt the cake
And every smoke detector in the house was going off
She was just about to cry until I took her in my arms
And I tried not to let her see me laugh
Yeah I live for little moments like that
I know she's not perfect
But she tries so hard for me
And I thank God that she isn't
Cause how boring would that be
It's the little imperfections
It's the sudden change of plans
When she misreads the directions
And we're lost but holding hands
Yeah I live for little moments like that
When she's laying on my shoulder
On the sofa in the dark
And about the time she falls asleep
So does my right arm
And I want so bad to move it
Because it's tingling and it's numb
She looks so much like an angel
That I don't want to wake her up
Yeah I live for little moments
When she steals my heart again and doesn't even know it
Yeah I live for little moments like that
Hey everybody, let's have fun
You only live but once and when you're dead you're done
You better let the good time roll, baby, oh, let's get it own mama
And I don't care if you're old now
Get yourself together and let the good time roll
Don't sit there mumbling, talkin' trash
If you want to have a ball you got to go out, spend some cash
L-l-let the good times roll, babe, oh baby, oh baby
And I don't care if you're old now, get together and let the good time roll
Hey y'all tell everybody, Ray Charles' in town
Got a dollar and a quarter and I'm just ringing the clock now
Don't let nobody, play me cheap
I got fifty cents more than I'm gonna keep
I'm gonna let the good times roll now, oh baby, oh baby
And I don't care if you're old now, get together and let the good time roll
Hey no matter whether, rainy weather
If you want to have a ball you got to get yourself together
Oh, get yourself under control
Ohh, yeah, oh

Well I love her
But I love to fish
I spend all day out on this lake
And hell is all I catch
But today she met me at the door
Said I would have to choose
If I hit that fishin' hole today
She'd be packin' all her things
And she'd be gone by noon
Well I'm gonna miss her
When I get home
Right now I'm on this lakeshore
And I'm sittin' in the sun
I'm sure it'll hit me
When I walk through that door tonight
Yea I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite, Alright
Now there's a chance that if I hurry
I could beg her to stay
But that water's right
And the weather's perfect
No tellin' what I might,catch today
So I'm gonna miss her
When I get home
But right now I'm on this lakeshore
And I'm sittin' in the sun
I'm sure it'll hit me
When I walk through that door tonight
Yea I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there,Another bite
Yeah, I'm gonna miss her
I was 12 when daddy said to me
Don't take to drinking boy that road don't lead no where
And don't you ever let me hear you swear
Don't you dare
He told me that stealing's a lazy man's way
Something for nothing leaves you hell to pay so don't buy into
and then you can look the whole world in the eye
Honey I've tried
But Since I met you girl I've been breaking every rule
I must confess I'm just a back sliding fool
I want to drink from your loving cup
Swear I'll never give you up
Steal all your kisses underneath the moon
I wanna lie here close to you look at what you made me do
Darling you're the reason why
I drink, swear, steal and lie
Last night I threw away the 12 step book
I finally faced the fact that I am hooked on you
There's nothing more that I can do Ain't no use
Cause every time I see your angel face
My halo disappears without a trace I swear
Girl I'd admit I haven't got a prayer
But I don't care
I know this ain't exactly how I was raised
But heaven help me honey I ain't changing my ways
I want to drink from your loving cup
Swear I'll never give you up
Steal all your kisses underneath the moon
I wanna lie here close to you look at what you made me do
Darling you're the reason why
I drink, swear, steal and lie
I want to drink from your loving cup
Swear I'll never give you up
Steal all your kisses underneath the moon
I wanna lie here close to you look at what you made me do
Darling you're the reason why
I drink, swear, steal and lie
Drink, swear, steal and lie
F/ Chely Wright
You wouldn't believe the number of times I've heard somebody say
How come some guy, some handsome prince, hasn't swept you away
But I take off on that tour bus, a different city every night
And doing what I love to do makes it hard to be a wife
You wouldn't believe the number of times I've been asked that myself
Folks can't understand why a heart like mine is still on the shelf
But I'm married to my music and I have been most my life
That makes it hard to be a husband
It makes it hard to be a wife
Cause I'd rather play the Grand Ole Opry
Than go out to dinner and a movie
Right now I'm not thinkin' bout a family of my own
Cause the band's on stage and I'm late for my show
There's folks who think my life is lacking
Cause my time at home is usually spent packing
You might assume that I don't' have a clue what love's about
Oh, but I know love
Of that I have no doubt
Cause you wouldn't believe the way it feels to hear somebody say
Your song sure means a lot to me
It got me through a real tough day
And if hearing words like that means giving up my social life
Then I've got all the friends I need on that front row
And I've got all the friends I need on that back row
And we can't see those folks unless we're never home
And that makes it hard to be a wife
And hard to be a husband
And hard to be a wife
1, 2
Got up this morning, headed down the road
I saw this pilgrim with a heavy load
Were my eyes lyin' at what I'd seen?
Hello, stranger. Remember me?
Hang your coat on that nail
kick your shoes off let 'em sail
I set my suitcase down in the den
Welcome stranger, come on in
Come on in, come on in
It's so good to see you again
It don't matter where you been
welcome stranger, come on in
I'll make the coffee, I'll get the cream
We'll open up a bottle of old Jim Beam
We'll hoot and holler to your favorite song
Welcome stranger, welcome home
I sure did miss you there's no doubt
The days got longer after you checked out
But the pain got stronger when it kicked in
Welcome stranger, come on in
Come on in, come on in
It's so good to see you again
It don't matter where you been
welcome stranger, come on in
It don't matter where you been
welcome stranger, come on in
welcome stranger, come on in

The Grand Old Op'ry Theatre proudly presents:
Cornography.
Kung Pao!
Episode two: The continuing adventures of the Kung Pao buckaroos.
The three cowboys needed a place to bed down for the night.
So I suggested the establishment of Miss Kitty May,
(Or she may not).
A former love and a woman of questionable repute.
So they walked into the saloon and asked for Miss Kitty.
And just then, they heard a voice sayin:
'Hi, boys. You lookin' for these.'
And the littlest cowboy turned around to see two huge 38s pointed right at his face.
(Jimmy, you can't say that!)
(What? She had huge guns.)
Smith and Wesson revolvers.
Oh boy, were they loaded.
Cornography.
She's aiming them right at us.
(Softer, George, it's more effective.)
She's aiming them right at us.
Everybody duck!
Not you, Jimmy. You stand up normal.
They dropped the money they owed her, an' she bent over to pick it up,
And, oh, that moon was beautiful.
(Now Jimmy, you can't say that!).
Out the window. I couldn't see it till then George:
There were mountains in the way.
Cornography.
'You guys are gonna get in trouble for this.'
That woman sure chaps my.
Ask her out then.
I think he's got a little thing for her, George.
(Louder, Bill, it's more effective.)
I think he's got a little thing for her, George.
It's not THAT little.
(That was worth a three or four, Bill.)
All, right, Jimmy, let's get serious now.
So the little cowboy was tryin' not to act too excited.
But when I look at a woman that beautiful, it's hard.
(Jimmy!!!).
What? It's very difficult.
I hope they're not recordin' this.
Yeah.
Cornography.
An' I said: 'Little cowgirl, how would you like a little cowpoke?'
'Here we go.'
Ooh yeah. Need a little buckaroo?
In your dreams short barrell.
Bum chicka bow wow.
Oh my God.
So the Kung Poo Buck.....
So the Kung Pao Buckaroos rode off into the sunset.
Tune in next time for more action and romance.
Yeah.
(Softer, George, it's more effective.)
Yeah.
Yesterday morning, just before noon
I passed a girl wearing your old perfume
And I stopped and stared
I could almost see you standing there
Don’t get me wrong - I’m almost over you
But now and then I like to go walking through
Some of our old times
Even though I realize
I’ll have another chance
I’ll find another girl
I’ll see another day
And I’ll build another world
I’ll start another life just like you told me to
And I’ll find another love
But there will never be another you
Night after night I go back through the years
I sit on this porch as the sun disappears
Like we did back then
I remind myself once again
That I’ll have another chance
I’ll find another girl
I’ll see another day
I’ll build another world
I’ll start another life
Just like you told me to
And I’ll find another love
But there’ll never be another you
Well I guess I should thank you for showing me how love should feel
I know what I’m gonna look for cuz I felt it when you held me
And I’ll have another chance
I’ll find another girl
I’ll see another day
And I’ll build another world
I’ll start another life just like you told me to
I’ll find another love
But there’ll never be another you
Another you

How come some guy, some handsome prince, hasn't swept you away

Strong like a mother holds her child
Free as horses running wild
And real as a prayer on a lonely night
And sure as the ocean tide
Oh love
Oh love
Oh the many colors that you're made of
You heal
You bleed
You're the simple truth
And you're the biggest mystery
Oh love
Oh Love
Deep as the life from Gods own breath
And it's even after death
Gone like the sunset
You can break a heart in pieces
Put it back together again
You can break down sweet forgiveness
You're the one that never ends
Oh Love
Ooooohhhh
Ooooohhhh
Oh love

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Christ, the Saviour is born
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes
I love thee, Lord Jesus look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle until morning is nigh
Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care
And take us to heaven to live with thee there
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
Wrapping paper everywhere
Stacked up dishes, but who cares
They can wait until tomorrow now
It's you and me, and this old couch
The Christmas tree in our living room
Fills the room with pine perfume
And colored lights dancing on the walls
While Nat King Cole sings "Deck The Halls"
Don't you get the sense tonight
That for now the world is right
And as another Christmas ends
My mind drifts and once again
I'm thinking like a six year old
Only 364 days to go
Max got his bike
I swear, that kid
He's got it parked right by his bed
Jenny sure loves her puppy too
I'm not sure just who walked who
Thanks for my robe, no that's ok
It looks better on you anyway
What is it about this time of year
That makes our troubles disappear
'Cause don't you get the sense tonight
That for now the world is right
And as another Christmas ends
My mind drifts and once again
I'm thinking like a six year old
Only 364 days to go
We can't avoid it
No way around it
Before too long we'll be
Either back to work back to school
Or just back to reality
Don't you get the sense tonight
That for now the world is right
And as another Christmas ends
My mind drifts and once again
I'm thinking like a six year old
Only 364 days to go
To the teller down at the bank
You're just another checking account
To the plumber that came today
You're just another house
At the airport ticket counter
You're just another fare
At the beauty shop at the mall
Well you're just another head of hair
Well that's alright, that's ok
If you don't feel important, honey
All I've got to say is
To the world
You may be just another girl
But to me
Baby, you are the world
To the waiter at the restaurant
You're just another tip
To the guy at the ice cream shop
You're just another dip
When you can't get reservations
'Cause you don't have the clout
Or you didn't get an invitation
'Cause somebody left you out
That's alright, that's ok
When you don't feel important honey
All I've got to say is
You think you're one of millions but you're one in a million to me
When you wonder if you matter, baby look into my eyes
And tell me, can't you see you're everything to me
That's alright, that's ok
When you don't feel important honey
O they tell me of a home far beyond the sky
O they tell me of a land far away
O they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
O they tell me of an uncloudy day
O the land of the cloudless day
O the land of the uncloudy day
O they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
You used to say you wanted someone to know you inside out
And as I look back on things well congratulations baby
Somebody knows you now
All of this time you told me you wished that you could figure yourself out
You say you're still a mystery but no not really not to me
Yeah somebody knows you now
I got a hundred bucks that says right now your hair's up in a clip
Your socks don't quite match and you're bitin' your lip
I can finish your thoughts or pick the right restaurants
Even order for you 'fore you sit down
Yeah somebody knows you now
So no matter where you life's path leads
Remember me somehow
And feel a little warm inside knowin' that somewhere tonight
Somebody knows you now
Well baby all your mystery
Like you and me is history
Someday I'm gonna be famous, do I have talent, well no
These days you don't really need it thanks to reality shows
Can't wait to date a supermodel, can't wait to sue my dad
Can't wait to wreck a Ferrari on my way to rehab
'Cause when you're a celebrity
It's adios reality
You can act just like a fool
People think you're cool
Just 'cause you're on TV
I can throw a major fit
When my latte isn't just how I like it
When they say I've gone insane
I'll blame it on the fame
And the pressures that go with
Being a celebrity
I'll get to cry to Barbara Walters when things don't go my way
And I'll get community service no matter which law I break
I'll make the supermarket tabloids, they'll write some awful stuff
But the more they run my name down the more my price goes up
'Cause when you're a celebrity
It's adios reality
No matter what you do
People think you're cool
Just 'cause you're on TV
I can fall in and out of love
Have marriages that barely last a month
When they go down the drain
I'll blame it on the fame
And say it's just so tough
Being a celebrity
So let's hitch up the wagons and head out west
To the land of the fun and the sun
We'll be real world bachelor jackass millionaires
Hey hey, Hollywood, here we come
'Cause when you're a celebrity
It's adios reality
No matter what you do
People think you're cool
Just 'cause you're on TV
Being a celebrity
I'm holdin' on to you
When I close my eyes
You're still in my arms
And we never said goodbye
And it's all that I can do
To go on with my life
But that's supposed to be the reason
Why I'm here tonight
In a downtown restaurant with a friend of a friend
Well she sure likes to talk and I ain't heard a single word she's said
Oh, but every now and then I nod
And I pretend to pay attention
And I say things like, "uh huh"
And, "yeah, you're right" and "are you kiddin'"
And I laugh when it seems
Like the right thing to do
It's hard to hold a conversation
Holdin' on to you
I'd give anything
Just to hear your voice
Or see you look at me and smile
Oh but what I miss the most
Is holdin' on to you
'Cause here I am tonight
Starin' at a woman
Who's the last thing on my mind
When I close my eyes
You're still in my arms
Every day I clock out
And head straight to her house
We cuddle up on the couch
But it always ends the same ole way
I'm drivin' home and it's incredibly late
Something's got to change, 'cause
I've been wrapped around her finger
Since the first time we went out
Every day and every night she's all I think about
I need that girl beside me
When the lights go out
I think it's time to put a ring on the finger
I'm wrapped around
Went to the bank took out a loan
Went and bought the perfect stone
Called up her dad on the phone
I'm takin' him to dinner Sunday night
I've never been so nervous in my life
I want to do this right, 'cause
I've been wrapped around her finger
Since the first time we went out
Every day and every night she's all I think about
I need that girl beside me
When the lights go out
I think it's time to put a ring on the finger
I'm wrapped around
Yes sir I love her very much
I know it's only been seven months
But that's long enough
I've been wrapped around her finger
Since the first time we went out
Every day and every night she's all I think about
I need that girl beside me
When the lights go out
I think it's time to put a ring on the finger
I'm wrapped around
I think it's time to put a ring on the finger
There's an old Kodak camera in my dresser drawer
I ran across it just this afternoon
And I realized that I don't ever use it anymore
In fact last time I did I think it was with you
When we were down in Cozumel
We had the whole beach to ourselves
And it's crazy now to think
That it's all there on that film
And I could take it to the store
To be developed, but what for
I can still see everything just fine
And who needs pictures with a memory like mine
Standin' there I couldn't help but think about
Everything that might be on that roll
I think it even has another trip we took
I guess that must've been at least three years ago
When we were down in Baton Rouge
And there wasn't much to do
So we drove into New Orleans every afternoon
And I swear that you would think
That it was only yesterday
'Cause I can still see everything just fine
Who needs pictures with a memory like mine
Somewhere in my closet
There's a cardboard box just sittin' on a shelf
It's full of faded memories
And it's been there ever since the night you left
Oh, just forgotten photographs
To remind me of the past
Oh, but I can still see everything just fine
Who needs pictures with a memory like mine
She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart, he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until' the night
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said, "I'll love her till I die"
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The Angels sang a whiskey lullaby
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la laa
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la laa
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years, she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
Until' the night
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the Angels sang a whiskey lullaby
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la laa
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la laa
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la laa
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la laa
(feat. Dolly Parton)
When I get where I'm going
On the far side of the sky
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly like a bird
I'm gonna land beside a lion
And run my fingers through his mane
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain
[Chorus]
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here
I'm gonna walk with my grand daddy
And he'll match me step for step
And I'll tell him how I missed him
Every minute since he left
Then I'll hug his neck
[Repeat chorus]
So much pain and so much darkness
In this world we stumble through
All these questions I can't answer
So much work to do
But when I get where I'm going
And I see my maker's face
I'll stand forever in the light
Of his amazing grace
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will love and have no fear
When I get where I'm going
Sittin' on a bench at West Town Mall
He sat down in his overalls and asked me
"You waitin' on a woman?"
I nodded, yeah and said, "How 'bout you"
He said, "Son since nineteen fifty-two
I've been waitin' on a woman"
"And when I picked her up for our first date
I told her, I'd be there at eight"
And she came down the stairs at eight-thirty
She said, "I'm sorry that I took so long
Didn't like a thing that I tried on"
But let me tell you son, she sure looked pretty
Yeah, she'll take her time but I don't mind
Waitin' on a woman
He said the wedding took a year to plan
You talk about an anxious man, I was nervous
And waitin' on a woman
And then he nudged my arm like old men do
And said, "I'll say this 'bout the honeymoon, it was worth it
Waitin' on a woman"
And I don't guess we've been anywhere
She hasn't made us late I swear
Sometimes she does it just 'cause she can do it
Boy, it's just a fact of life
It'll be the same with your young wife
Might as well go on and get used to it
She'll take her time 'cause you don't mind
Waitin' on a woman
I've read somewhere statistics show
The man's always the first to go
And that makes sense 'cause I know she won't be ready
So when it finally comes my time
And I get to the other side
I'll find myself a bench, if they've got any
I hope she takes her time, 'cause I don't mind
Waitin' on a woman
Honey, take your time, 'cause I don't mind
A baby's born in the middle of the night in a local delivery room
They grab his feet, smack him till he cries he goes home the next afternoon
'Fore you know it he's off to school and then he graduates in May
Goes out and gets a Ph.D. and then cures all sorts of things
Wins a Nobel Prize and saves a million different lives
The world's a better place for all he's done
It's funny when you think about the reason he's alive
It's all because two people fell in love
Right now at a picnic shelter down by Caney Creek
You'll find potato salad hot dogs and baked beans
The whole Wilson family's lined up fillin' their paper plates
They've drove or flown in here from fifteen different states
Well Stanley Wilson says that sixty years ago he knew
That Miss Emma Tucker was the one
Now five generations get together every June
All because two people fell in love
There ain't nothin' not affected
When two hearts get connected
All that is, will be, or ever was
Every single choice we make
Every breath we get to take
Is all because two people fell in love
Well, I recall a young man who was driftin' aimlessly
And a young waitress who seemed lonesome as could be
But in a little cafð³ right off of fourteenth avenue
With a whole lotta help from up above
We met and things sure turned around for me and you
And all because two people fell in love
Baby, there ain't nothin' not affected
When two hearts get connected
All that is, will be, or ever was
I'm glad your dad could not resist
Your mama's charms and you exist
All because two people fell in love
You know, to me it's all so clear
Every one of us is here
All because two people fell in love
A baby's born in the middle of the night in a local delivery room
Yesterday I thought that I was low as I could get
I had hit rock bottom ever since you up and left
But this morning when I saw you with
Somebody else, well needless to say
That's when I started sinking even lower
And as far as where I am at today
There's two feet of topsoil
A little bit of bedrock, limestone in between
A fossilized dinosaur
A little patch of crude oil
A thousand feet of granite underneath
Then there's me
I was kinda hopin' I could dig my way back out
A couple dozen roses maybe get you back somehow
But the love in your eyes as you talked to him
Today was plain to see
So I ain't gonna get involved, but
Should you change your mind
Well you know right where I'll be
There's two feet of topsoil
A little bit of bedrock, limestone in between
A fossilized dinosaur
A little patch of crude oil
A thousand feet of granite underneath
I could've been workin' overtime
Or at home tryin' to make that truck run right
Instead of wadin' out in that stream
All day long barely catchin' a thing
Just me and dad
I'm glad he talked me in to that
It was time well wasted
And there's no way I trade a few more dollars in my pocket I could've spent
For a day I'll never forget
No, I didn't get a thing done
But I sure soaked up every minute of the memory we were makin'
And I count it all as time well wasted
Those leaves were a foot deep in the yard
And 'wash me' was written all over the car
But watchin' movies all day with you
Wasn't on my list of things to do
But we laid on that couch
Girl, we never left the house
It was time well wasted
And there's no way I trade a few more things that I could've crossed off my list
For a day I'll never forget
No, I didn't get a thing done
But I sure soaked up every minute of the memory we were makin'
And I count it all as time well wasted
This world spins too fast if you let it
There's always one more thing to do
But lookin' back I never have regretted
Takin' off early or callin' in sick
Or lovin' away a Sunday afternoon
It was time well wasted
And there's no way I trade a few more dollars or things crossed off my list
For a day I'll never forget
No I didn't get a thing done
But I sure soaked up every minute of the memory we were makin'
And I count it all as time well wasted
Every time you take a sip
In this smoky atmosphere
You press that bottle to your lips
And I wish I was your beer
In the small there of your back
Your jeans are playing peekaboo
I'd like to see the other half of your butterfly tattoo.
Hey that gives me an idea
Let's get out of this bar
Drive out into the country
And find a place to park.
'Cause I'd like to see you out in the moonlight
I'd like to kiss you way back in the sticks
I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers
And I'd like to check you for ticks.
I know the perfect little path
Out in these woods I used to hunt
Don't worry babe I've got your back
And I've also got your front
Now, I'd hate to waste a night like this
I'll keep you safe you wait and see
The only thing allowed to crawl all over you when we get there is me.
You know every guy in here tonight
Would like to take you home
But I've got way more class than them
Babe that ain't what I want.
'Cause I'd like to see you out in the moonlight
I'd like to kiss you way back in the sticks
I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers
And I'd like to check you for ticks.
You never know where one might be
There's lots of places that are hard to reach
I gotcha.
I'd like to see you out in the moonlight
I'd like to kiss you baby way back in the sticks
I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers
And I'd like to check you for ticks.
You're not supposed to say
The word cancer in a song
And tellin' folks Jesus is the answer
Can rub 'em wrong
It ain't hip to sing about tractors, trucks
Little towns and mama
Yeah that might be true
But this is country music and we do
Well, you like to drink a cold one
On the weekend and get a little loud
Do you wanna say I'm sorry or I love ya
But you don't know how?
Do you wish somebody had the nerve
To tell that stupid boss of yours
To shove it next time he yells at you?
Well, this is country music, and we do
So turn it on, turn it up and sing along
This is real, this is your life in a song
Yeah this is country music
Are you haunted by the echo of your mother
On the phone?
Cryin' as she tells you that
Your brother is not coming home?
And if there's anyone that still
Has pride and the memory of those
That died defending the old red, white and blue
This is country music and we do
So turn it on, turn it up and sing along
This is real, this is your life in a song
Just like a road that takes you home
Yeah this is right where you belong
This is country music
This is country music
You Stopped Loving Her Today
(This is country music)
Hello Dolly
(This is country music)
God Bless the USA
(This is country music)
Amarillo by the Morning
(This is country music)
Stand by Your Man
(This is country music)
Take Me Home Country Roads
(This is country music)
I Walk the Line
(This is country music)
On a hill far away, stood an old rugged Cross
The emblem of suff'ring and shame
And I love that old Cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain
So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged Cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
Oh, that old rugged Cross so despised by the world
Has a wondrous attraction for me
For the dear Lamb of God, left his Glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary
So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged Cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
In the old rugged Cross, stain'd with blood so divine
A wondrous beauty I see
For the dear Lamb of God, left his Glory above
To pardon and sanctify me
So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged Cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
To the old rugged Cross, I will ever be true
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away
Where his glory forever I'll share
So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged Cross
Well I'm a sucker for fine Cuban cigars
The problem is I can't afford 'em
But last year I went and got myself a whole box
And just to be safe I insured 'em
[Chorus]
I took out a policy against fire and theft
And then I hurried home
With a Fifty-cent lighter I sat on my back steps
And I smoked 'em one by one
Two weeks later I went to see that insurance man
And I handed in my claim
With a straight face I told him that through a series of small fires
They'd all gone up in flames
[2nd Chorus]
They reviewed my case and they had no choice
But to pay me for what I'd done
And I took that check and bought a whole new box
And I smoked 'em one by one
Two weeks later this detective shows up
Tells me that company's pressin' charges
One speedy trial later they locked me up
On twenty-four separate counts of arson
[3rd Chorus]
And now I sit and I stare at a blank brick wall
Lookin' back on what I've done
To pass the time I've got some ten-cent cigars
And I smoke 'em one by one
I never was a straight-lace, straight A student
teacher’s pet or child prodigy
I wasn’t gonna get rich throwin’ a football
It take too long to get a law degree
So I sat down with momma and daddy
tried to talk some sense into my big head
But the best advice that I ever got
was from my sister’s rock star boyfriend
Just get you a guitar and learn how to play
Cut up some jeans, come up with a name
When you’re living in a world that you dont understand
Find a few good buddies, start a band
Start a band, Start a band
And all those girls that were too cool to talk to,
They’ll be waiting in the line out back
Might get your picture in the hometown paper
Maybe buy your momma that Cadillac
Just get you a guitar and learn how to play
Cut up some jeans, come up with a name
When you’re living in a world that you don’t understand
Find a few good buddies, start a band
Start a band, Scrape up some money, buy a van
Learn free bird and ramblin’ man
Never buy another beer again
Guitar
Just get you a guitar and learn how to play
Grow out your hair, come up with a name
With a little bit of luck you’ll be packing the stands
Find a few good buddies, start a band
No need to study, start a band
When your wheelhouse is the land of cotton,
The first time you leave it can be strange, it can be shocking
Not everybody drives a truck, not everybody drinks sweet tea
Not everybody owns a gun, wears a ball cap boots and jeans
Not everybody goes to church or watches every nascar race
Not everybody knows the words to "Ring Of Fire" or "Amazing Grace"
Chorus:
Oh, Dixie Land,
I hope you understand
When I miss my Tennessee Home
And I been away way too long
I can't see this world unless I go
Outside my Southern Comfort Zone
I have walked the streets of Rome, I have been to foreign lands
I know what it's like to talk and have nobody understand
I have seen the Eiffel Tower lit up on a paris night
I have kissed a West Coast girl underneath the Northern Lights
I know what it's like to meet the only one like me,
To take a good hard look around and be a minority
And I Miss my tennessee home
I can see the ways that I grown
I can't see this world unless I go
Outside my Southern Comfort Zone
I miss your biscuits and your gravy
Fireflies dancing in the night
You have fed me and saved me
Billy Graham and Martha White
I have since become a gypsy
And I just can't wait to pack
Cause I know the route I leave on
It will always bring me back
(Solo)
Chorus
I wish I was in Dixie Again
I miss my Tennessee Home
I've been away way too long
I can't see this world unless I go
Outside My Southern Comfort Zone
Look away, look away
(Chorus: I wish I was in dixie, away, look away)
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas Day
Strings of streetlights even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home
With their treasures
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle you'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas Day
Silver bells, silver bells
Soon it will be Christmas Day
I called to say I'm working late tonight
To cancel our dinner date
But she just said that's alright
And just like that she made some other plans
Saw a movie with a couple friends
Had herself a ball, oh 'cause after all
She's her own woman
Without me, she does fine
She's her own woman
Whoa, but she's mine
I couldn't tell you even if you had a gun to my head
Where we keep the tarragon
Or even what the hell that is
Well, I wouldn't last forty five minutes in this house
Without her living in it
I'd be lost yeah, that's for sure but as for her
She's her own woman
Without me, she'd be fine
She's her own woman
Whoa, but she's mine
Raised up a daddy's girl
Went out into the big wide world
Has never needed any body's help
With everything she does for me
Oh, it's still a mystery
How I fell in love with her all by myself
She's her own woman
Got it going on, that suits me fine
You're gonna have to find your own woman
Well, Santa looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked a lot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was much too thin
He didn't come down the chimney
So mama must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked a lot like him
Well, they thought I was fast a sleepin'
They thought that I was tucked in bed
They never thought I'd come a peepin'
Or that I'd hear what was said
Santa put his arm around mama
And mama put her arm around him
So if Santa Claus ain't daddy
Then I'm a gonna tell on him
I never saw Dancer or Prancer
I never heard the sleigh bells ring
I never saw the red nosed reindeer
Like they show on the TV screen
But he sure brought a lot presents
So Santa Claus he must have been
Well, he sure looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked a lot like him.
Santa looked a lot like daddy

We didn't care if people staredWe'd make out in a crowd somewhereSomebody'd tell us to get a roomIt's hard to believe that was me and you
Now we keep saying that we're okayBut I don't want to settle for good, not greatI miss the way that it felt back thenI wanna feel that way again
Been so long, bet you forgetThe way I used to kiss your neckRemind me, remind me
So on fire, so in loveWay back when we couldn't get enoughRemind me, remind me
Remember the airport, dropping me offWe were kissing goodbye and we couldn't stopAnd I felt bad 'cause you missed your flightBut that meant we had one more night
Do you remember how it used to be?We'd turn out the lights and we didn't just sleepRemind me, baby, remind me
Oh, so on fire, so in loveThat look in your eyes that I miss so muchRemind me, baby, remind me
I wanna feel that wayYeah, I wanna hold you closeOh, if you still love meDon't just assume I know
Oh baby, remind meRemind me
Do you remember the way it felt?You mean back when we couldn't control ourselvesRemind me, yeah, remind me
All those things that you used to doThat made me fall in love with youRemind me, oh baby, remind me
Yeah, you'd wake up in my old t-shirtAll those mornings I was late for workRemind me, oh baby, remind me, yeah
When I looked out today
And saw that the sky was gray
I thought about the way
You loved days like this
And driving in to town
It really started coming down
Bringing me back around
To all that I miss
It feels like it's rainin' you
It feels like it's rainin' you
I didn't even run inside
Or worry about staying dry
Besides there nowhere I can hide
These feeling now
Running down my face
Takes me to another place
I can't think of a better way to drown
It feels like it's rainin' you
I can't explain it
But I am baptized anew
It feels like it's rainin' you
If I had my way
It would do this every day
I would never see the sun
Because the closest I get
To holding you again
Is every time that sky opens up
It feels like it's rainin' you
I can't explain it
But I am baptized anew
It feels like it's rainin' you
Blake Shelton Sings Austin.
It's on his 2001 Album.
She left without leaving a number
Said she needed to clear her mind
He figured she'd gone back to Austin
Cause she talked about it all the time
It was almost a year before she called him up
3 rings and an answering machine is what she got
If you're calling about the car, I sold it
If this is Tuesday night I'm bowling
If you got something to sell you're wasting your time
I'm not buying
If its anybody else wait for the tone you know what to do and
P.S. if this is Austin I still love you....
The telephone fell to the counter she heard
But she couldn't believe what kind of man would
Hang on that long what kind of love that must be
She waited 3 days and then she tried again
She didn't know what she'd say but she heard 3 rings and then....
If its Friday night I'm at the ball game
And First thing Saturday if it don't rain
I'm headed out to the lake and I'll be gone
All weekend long but I'll call you back when I get home on
Sunday afternoon and P.S. if this is Austin I still love you
Well this time she left her number but not another word
And then she waited by the phone on Sunday evening
And this is what he heard
If you're calling about my heart its still yours
I should have listened to it a little more
And it wouldn't have taken me so long to know where I belong
And by the way boy this is no machine you're talking to
I work down at the pizza pit
And I drive and old Hundai
I still live with my mom and dad
I 5'3 and overweight
I'm a Sci-fi fantatic
Mild asthmatic
Never been to 2nd base
But there's a whole nother me
That you need to see
Go check out MySpace
Cause online I'm down in Hollywood
I'm 6'5 and I look damn good
I drive a Mazarati
I'm a black belt in Karate
And I love a good glass of wine
It turns girls on that I'm mysterious
I tell 'em I don't want nothing serious
Cause even on a slow day I can have a three way
Chat with two women at one time
I'm so much cooler online
So much cooler online
I get home, I kiss my mom
And she fixes me a snack
I head down to my basement bedroom
And fire up the mac
In real life, the only time I
Ever even been to LA
Was when I got the chance with the marching band
To play tuba in the Rose Parade.
Online I live in Malibu
I posed for Calvin Kline, I've been in GQ
I'm single and I'm rich
And I got a set of six pack abs that'll blow your mind
It turns girls on that I'm mysterious
I tell 'em I don't want nothing serious
Cause even on a slow day I can have a three way
Chat with two women at one time
I'm so much cooler online
Yeah I'm cooler online
When you got my kinda stats, it's hard to get a date
Let alone a real girlfriend
But I grow another foot
And I lose a bunch of weight everytime I log in
Online I'm out in Hollywood
I'm 6'5 and I look damn good
Even on a slow day, I can have a three way
Chat with two women at one time
I'm so much cooler online
Yeah I'm cooler online
I'm so much cooler online
Rush hour traffic
Always puts me in a bad mood
I got chewed out by the boss today
And now I'm stuck on highway 92
Then you call me on my cellphone
While I'm cussing out a Cadillac
You say "remember Tom and Janey's little boy?
Well, the doctors say the cancer's back"
Man, it's been one of those days
When I've been thinkin' poor me
I've got no right to complain I guess
'Cause right now all I can see
Is a little angel in a Yankees cap
It makes me realize
It's just been one of those days for me
But for him it's been one of those lives
Everybody under my roof
Is healthy, knock on wood
Oh, but I sure do sweat the small stuff
I don't thank God as much as I should
Tonight I'm thinkin' about Tommy and Janey
And how they've spent the last four years
All those extended stays in Memphis
All the sleepless nights, the prayers, the tears
It's just been one of those days
Where I was thinkin' poor me
I've got no right to complain I guess
'Cause right now all I can see
Is that family movin' back in to Target House
It makes me realize
It's just been one of those days for me
But for them it's been one of those lives
And so, it's been one of those days
When I let things get to me
I've got no right to complain
'Cause when I look around I see
Folks out there fighting for every breath
And it makes me realize
It's just been one of those days for me
Had the time of my life
Before I could see what was really going on
And what you really thought of me.
Look at me now, eyes open wide,
Wiser today and driving away with my shattered pride.
Now I'm nobody's fool
It ain't no fun anymore
Cause now that I'm nobody's fool
I'd rather be yours
Well you know what they say
The truth sets you free
And that's just great unless you don't wanna be
And you can keep the last laugh,
Cause I don't like how it feels
When you save face, but your heart breaks
Well you've cut the wrong deal.
Now I'm nobody's fool
I miss the way it was before
Don't wanna be nobody's fool
I wanna be your, your, yours
Cause I'm a fool anyway
Whether I leave or stay
So why, why did I have to run?
I wanna make you laugh,
I wanna make you smile,
I wanna feel like I belong to someone.
Now I'm nobody's fool
It ain't no fun anymore
Cause now that I'm nobody's fool
I wanna be yours, yours.
Don't wanna be nobody's fool.
On my fifth birthday, I got so upset
About the brand new bike that I didn't get
I'd prayed my heart out and it didn't seem fair
I told my grandpa, I guess God doesn't care
And he just smiled and said my child
Make no mistake, every prayer you pray
Gets answered, even though
Sometimes, the answer is no
Five years later, out behind the shed
With a stolen pack of grandpa's cigarettes
I struck a match and held that first one to my lips
And prayed to God, please let me get away with this
And through the smoke, I saw grandpa standing there
Make no mistake, every prayer you pray
Gets answered, even though
Sometimes, the answer is no
When I think of all the answers in my life
I would have to say, there's no doubt
It was always for the best when I didn't get my way
Grandpa got older like grandpas do
His health was failing and I guess I knew
It'd be best if he was called on hold but selfishly
I prayed that God would keep him hanging on
And when he passed away, in my mind I heard him say
Make no mistake, every prayer you pray
Gets answered, even though
Sometimes, the answer is no
Your fumblin' 'round in the bedroom
Tryin' to put on your shoes
Hair still down, dress half on
Lookin' like your about to blow a fuse
I know what's about to happen, I can read you like a book
Your about to shoot that cute little, yeah we're late look
There it is, baby don't move
I wanna soak this in,
I've got a new favorite memory of you
Drivin' thru town, runnin' red lights
You take my hand in the car
Finally make it to the restaurant
And our two friends are two drinks in at the bar
I know what's about to happen, folks don't change that dial
She's about to light the room up with a laugh and a smile
There it is, baby don't move
I wanna soak this in,
I've got a new favorite memory of you
Yeah, I'm gonna fall for it, baby I know
Wait for it, wait for it, here I go
Fumblin' 'round in the bedroom
Tryin' to take off your shoes
Hair back down, dress half off
Look at me
There it is, baby don't move
I wanna soak this in,
I got a new favorite memory of you
Here we go again
I've got some big news
The bank finally came through
And I'm holdin' the keys to a brand new Chevrolet
Have you been outside it sure is a nice night
How about a little test drive
Down by the lake
There's a place I know about where the dirt road runs out
And we can try out the four-wheel drive
Come on now what do you say
Girl, I can hardly wait to get a little mud on the tires
'Cause it's a good night
To be out there soakin' up the moonlight
Stake out a little piece of shoreline
I've got the perfect place in mind
It's in the middle of nowhere only one way to get there
You got to get a little mud on the tires
Moonlight on a duck blind
Catfish on a trot line
Sun sets about nine this time of year
We can throw a blanket down
Crickets singin' in the background
And more stars than you can count on a night this clear
I tell you what we need to do is grab a sleepin' bag or two
And build us a little campfire
And then with a little luck we might just get stuck
Let's get a little mud on the tires
And then with a little luck we might just get stuck
Darlin' I've been standin' here just watchin' you all night
And I think I've even caught you watchin' me a couple times
If I don't ask I'll never know
This may sound dumb, but here we go
Do you believe in love at first sight
Me neither
I'm glad that we agree
Believe me
That's a big relief
Well, this place is awful crowded
And this music is so loud
Would you like to go and grab a bite to eat
Me neither
It's nice to finally meet a girl who doesn't move too fast
I was only checkin', that's the reason that I asked
Relationships need time to grow
You and I should take this slow
And darlin' tell me, would you like to dance
Me neither
I was just bein' polite
Thank goodness
My feet are much too tired
I'm sure you're tired too
I can see an empty booth
Would you like to maybe sit and talk a while
Me neither
We'd never get along
I'm thinkin' there's no chemistry at all
This has been a waste of time
And I'm runnin' outta lines
Don't you think it's time for me to end this song
Seasons come and seasons go
One day sun, the next day snow
Flowers die and flowers grow
But love is never-ending
You can't kill it with goodbye
It always finds a place to hide
Inside your heart for your whole life
Love is never-ending
When the lights have all gone down
It'll still be hangin' 'round
Even when you think it's lost, it can still be found
When every memory has been made
And the pages start to fade
And every prayer you ever prayed is heaven bound
When you think the ride is over
You're back at the beginning
Love is never-ending
When a man and woman start growin' old
The fire of passion may grow cold
But what they got still warms their soul
Love is never-ending
It keeps goin' on and on
Long after we're all gone away
Time may change what you believe
But one day the truth will set you free
Just have faith and you will see
Love is never-ending
Featuring: Don Henley
We cut the cake everybody danced and some people drank too much
You looked like the cover of Brides magazine and I looked like some guy in the tux
I'll never forget when your Uncle Bill pulled up a chair and sat down
He said son I've been married now 45 years and pointed at you through the crowd
And said
(chorus)
Love her like she's leaving
Like it's going to end if you don't
Love her like she's leaving
Oh and I guarantee she won't
He said it's sending her flowers for no reason at all and notes on the fridge every day
An unexpected gift at an unexpected time, that keep the lawyers away
It's easy to take forever for granted with tin cans tied to your car
I know she tells you that she'll always be there but I'm telling you if you're smart
(chorus)
She could have any man she wants you know it's true
Best way to keep her is to keep her wanting you
(chorus)
Love her like she's leaving
They've read the scripture, they've passed the plate
And we're both prayin' he don't preach late
But he's gettin' "Amens," and that's just our luck
Yeah, it's eighty-five degrees outside and he's just gettin' warmed up
Oh you and me, we could be soakin' up that sun
Findin' out just how fast your brother's boat'll run
I tell you there ain't nothin' that'll test your faith
Like a long sermon on a pretty Sunday
Well it's been rainin' all week long
I woke up this mornin', the dark clouds were gone
We've both been raised not to miss church
But on a day like today heaven knows how much it hurts
See that sunlight shinin' through that stained glass
Featuring: Sheryl Crow, Marty Stuart
Life is like a mountain railway
With an engineer that's brave
We must make the run successful
From the cradle to the grave
Watch for curves and hills and valleys
Never falter never fail
And keep your hands upon the throttle
And your eye upon the rail
Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In God's praise forevermore
As you roll across the trestle
Spanning Jordan's swelling tide
You behold the Union Depot
Into which your train will glide
There you'll meet the Superintendent
God, the Father, God, the Son
With a hearty joyous greeting
Weary pilgrim, welcome home
Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In God's praise forevermore
Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In God's praise forevermore
Where the angels wait to join us
In God's praise forevermore
So turn it on, turn it up
Well it's a Kung Pao Buckaroo holiday
Whatever you do watch what you say
If you're easily offended well that's ok
It's a completely non-offensive
Is it raining at your house like it's raining at mine
Do you miss me like I miss you, is it cloudy all the time
Do you tremble when the phone rings and you think I'm on the line
Is it raining at your house like it's raining at mine
Does it thunder and lightnin' even when the sun shines
Is it raining at your house like it's raining at mine
Is it raining at your place just like it is over here
If it is then sweetheart like me I know you're scared
I just called you to console you like any old friend would do
Is it raining at your house and by the way I still love you
I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The son of God discloses
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
He speaks and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet that the birds hush their singing
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
And the joy we share as we tarry there
When you see a deer, you see Bambi
And I see antlers up on the wall
When you see a lake you think picnics
And I see a large mouth up under that log
You're probably thinkin' that you're gonna change me
In some ways, well, maybe you might
Scrub me down, dress me up
Oh, but no matter what, remember, I'm still a guy
When you see a priceless friend's painting
I see a drunk naked girl
When you think that riding a wild bull sounds crazy
And I'd like to give it a whirl
Well, love makes a man do some things he ain't proud of
And in a weak moment I might
Walk your sissie dog, hold your purse at the mall
But remember, I'm still a guy
And I'll pour out my heart, hold your hand in the car
Write a love song that makes you cry
Then turn right around, knock some jerk to the ground
'Cause he copped a feel as you walked by
I can hear you now talkin' to your friends
Sayin' yeah, girls he's come a long way
From draggin' his knuckles and carryin' a club
And buildin' a fire in a cave
But when you say a back rub means only a back rub
Then you swat my hand when I try
Well, now what can I say at the end of the day
Honey, I'm still a guy
And I'll pour out my heart, hold your hand in the car
Write a love song that makes you cry
Then turn right around knock some jerk to the ground
'Cause he copped a feel as you walked by
These days there's dudes gettin' facials
Manicured, waxed and botoxed
With deep spray-on tans and creamy lotiony hands
You can't grip a tackle box
Yeah, with all of these men linin' up to get neutered
It's hip now to be feminized
But I don't highlight my hair, I've still got a pair
Yeah honey, I'm still a guy
Oh, my eyebrows ain't plucked, there's a gun in my truck
Oh thank God, I'm still a guy
When a freight train jumps off a track
And rolls down my road
And it's summer time in Texas
And they're playing in the snow
When politicians everywhere stop telling lies
And only state the facts
Right then, that's when
I'll take you back
Let's say I get bucked off a bull and fall and hit my head
And then I get amnesia and forget the things you said
I lose my better judgment and I take up smoking crack
Right then, that's when
I'll take you back
Go on keep trying
Come on keep calling
You know I like it
When you come crawling
It's like music
To hear you bawling
Waa, waa, waa, waa, waa
When Donald Trump takes a part time job parking cars
When Clint Eastwood does ballet in a big pink leotard
And a donkey wins the Derby as he takes his victory lap
Right then, that's when
I'll take you back
The day that old morning sun rises in the west
And they pass a law in L.A. banning artificial breasts
When cars can run on water, gasoline and oil ain't worth jack
Right then, that's when
I'll take you back
It's like music
To hear you bawling
I am dreamin' tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
How dare you accuse me of being on a leash
Just because you haven't seen me
On the town the last few weeks
You say that girl I'm seein' has somehow made me change
But I say take a closer look
Deep down I'm still the same
Yeah, I still love the night life
Even though I've settled down
I can have the time of my life
Without leavin' the house
We have our own private parties
The good times never end
Yeah, I still love the night life
It's the best it's ever been
There may not be a jukebox, but I still love to dance
We two step ¡®cross that kitchen floor
Each time we get the chance
From neon light to soft white, sawdust to squeaky clean
It's different circumstances
Ah, but some things never change
Yeah, I still love the night life
Even though I've settled down
I can have the time of my life
Without leavin' the house
We have our private parties
The good times never end
Yeah, I still love the night life
It's the best it's ever been
Yeah, I still love the night life
Even though I've settled down
I can have the time of my life
Without leavin' the house
We have our own private parties
The good times never end
Yeah, I still love the night life
It's the best it's ever been
Yeah, I still love the night life
Hold me in your arms, just see how it feels
Don't make me wait forever just because you know I will
Don't leave me hangin', wishin', waitin', hopin' that you'll call
Darlin' hold me in your arms and let me fall
You've got reservations, well darlin,' so do I
But mine are at a restaurant six-thirty Friday night
I swear you won't regret it if you agree to go
Just do me one small favor before you tell me no
Hold me in your arms, just see how it feels
Don't make me wait forever just because you know I will
Don't leave me hangin', wishin', waitin', hopin' that you'll call
Darlin' hold me in your arms and let me fall
When you go out shoppin,' you try on brand new clothes
To see if somethin' fits or not, there's just one way to know
Why's it any different when someone asks you out?
You might as well just try me on before you turn me down
Hold me in your arms, just see how it feels
Don't make me wait forever just because you know I will
Don't leave me hangin', wishin', waitin', hopin' that you'll call
Darlin' hold me in your arms and let me fall
When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new
It always winds up feeling more like a job interview
My momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone
Who wouldn't find out about me and then turn around and run
I met the man I call my dad when I was five years old
He took my mom out to a movie and for once I got to go
A few months later I remember lying there in bed
I overheard him pop the question and I prayed that she'd say yes
And then all of a sudden
Oh, it seemed so strange to me
How we went from something's missing
To a family
Lookin' back all I can say
About all the things he did for me
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad
That he didn't have to be
I met the girl that's now my wife about three years ago
We had the perfect marriage but we wanted somethin' more
Now here I stand surrounded by our family and friends
Crowded 'round the nursery window as they bring the baby in
And now all of a sudden
It seemed so strange to me
How we've gone from something's missing
To a family
Lookin' through the glass I think about the man
That's standin' next to me
And I hope I'm at least half the dad
That he didn't have to be
Lookin' back all I can say
About all the things he did for me
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad
That he didn't have to be
Yeah, I hope I'm at least half the dad
That he didn't have to be
Because he didn't have to be
When a single Mom goes out on a date with somebody new
It always winds up feeling more like a job interview
My Momma used to wonder if she’d ever meet someone
That wouldn’t find out about me and then turn around and run
I met the man I call my Dad when I was five years old
He took my Mom out to a movie, and for once I got to go
A few months later I remember lying there in bed
I overheard him pop the question and I prayed that she’d say yes
And then all of a sudden, oh it seemed so strange to me
How we went from ‘something’s missing’ to a family
Looking back all I can say about all the things he did for me
Is I hope I’m at least half the Dad that he didn’t have to be
I met the girl that’s now my wife about three years ago
We had the perfect marriage but we wanted something more
Now here I stand surrounded by our family and friends
Crowded round the nursery window as they bring the baby in
And now all of a sudden, oh it seems so strange to me
How we’ve gone from ‘something’s missing’ to a family
Looking through the glass I think about the man that’s standing next to me
And I hope I’m at least half the Daddy that he didn’t have to be
And looking back all I can say about all the things he did for me
Is I hope I’m at least half the Dad that he didn’t have to be
Yeah I hope I’m at least half the Dad that he didn’t have to be
Because he didn’t have to be
Tempted and tried we're often made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long
While there are others living about us
Never molested though in the wrong
Oh farther along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by
When death has come and taken our loved ones
It leaves our home so lonely and drear
And then do we wonder why others prosper?
Living so wicked year after year
Farther along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by
When we see Jesus coming in glory
When He comes down from His home in the sky
Then we shall meet Him in that bright mansion
We'll understand it all by and by
Oh farther along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by
I'm still breathing and my heart's still beating
I might as well start living again
And so I threw on a shirt, put on a jacket
Went out to meet some friends
And now I'm acting like I couldn't be better
Like I've always got this smile on my face
Walking around, weaving through the crowd
And trying not to look out of place
'Cause everybody's here
Yeah, but if you look close you'll see
Everybody's here, everybody's here but me
The first time somebody asked where you were
I didn't know what to say
The second time somebody asked where you were
I lied and said she's on her way
The third time somebody asked where you were
Well, I just wanted to scream
Well, I guess the land of the living
Ain't no place for a heartbroken zombie like me
'Cause everybody's here
Yeah, but if you look close you'll see
It's painfully clear, everybody's here but me
Now I look around and see a lot of single people
But there ain't a single one like me
Because they all wanna leave here with somebody
And I just wanna leave
Everybody's here, it's painfully clear
Everybody's here
Yeah, but if you look close you'll see
Everybody's here, everybody's here but me
I remember working on a rooftop
In the hot summer sun all day
Now I work two hours a night
It feels a lot more like play
'Fore Kenny joined the band
He used to hang dry wall
Ben worked down at Valentino's
So when you see us up here and think
Man they're lucky
You don't have to tell us 'cause we know
Yeah, we're laughing all the way to the bank
'Cause it all just seems so funny
A bunch of guys like us
In a big tour bus
Making that easy money
Desperado hauled cattle
Grady drove trucks
Justin had a hot dog stand
Kevin sold records
And Brent sold shoes
And Gary was a garbage man
I used to have an ex-girlfriend
That didn't understand
She said boy you're going nowhere fast
You oughta get a real job
Why don't you quit that band
You know I'm stubborn, set in my ways, said I'd never
Fall in love, used all the old cliches
But just now when you called and my heart rate hit the roof
I realized it's time to eat my words and face the truth
So come on over tonight we'll sit on the swing
Watch the pigs fly by flappin' their brand new wings
Just sit back and relax and watch me eat my hat
While the oak trees sprout dollar bills
And I look you in the eye
To finally say the words I swore I'd never say
In my whole life
So come on over tonight
I called my buddies, they're comin' too
After the way I ran my mouth they can't
Believe it's true
They're bringin' pizza and sweet tea
And I hope that you don't mind
But they said they've gotta see this
And they promise to be quiet
So come on over tonight we'll sit on the swing
Watch the pigs fly by flappin' their brand new wings
Just sit back and relax and watch me eat my hat
While a big ol' bolt of lightning
Strikes me not just once, but twice
As I say the words I swore I'd never say
In my whole life
Yeah, come on over tonight
Me fallin' in love, that's one of those things
That I swore would never come true
But I'm startin' to think that nothin' is impossible now
That I found you, nothin'
Yeah, come on over tonight we'll sit on the swing
Watch the pigs fly by flappin' their brand new wings
Just sit back and relax and watch me eat my hat
See the premiere performance of demons on ice
As I say the words I swore I'd never say
In my whole life
Say, come on over
Hey, come on over
Lately I’ve been running into our old friends
And somewhere in the small-talk someone always asks where you’ve been
So I tell them what you gold me and they can’t believe we’re through
They ask me what I’m doing now, and in case you’re wondering too
I breathe in and breathe out
Put one foot in front of the other
Take one day at a time, til you find
I’m that someone you can’t live without
But until then I’ll breathe in and breathe out
I’ve got every reason to find someone new
Cos you swore up and down to me that I’d seen the last of you
But the way that you loved me left me hoping and holding on
So until this world stops turning round and my heart believes you’re gone
I’ll breathe in and breathe out
Put one foot in front of the other
Take one day at a time, til you find
I’m that someone you can’t live without
But until then I’ll breathe in and breathe out
We were meant to be girl, there’s no doubt
If it takes the rest of my life for you to figure it out
I’ll breathe in and breathe out
Put one foot in front of the other
Take one day at a time, til you find
I’m that someone you can’t live without
It was a cold and dark December night
But a star still lit the sky
Away in a manger you heard a baby cry
It was the cry of the Son of God
A little baby boy
Born in that manger to bring the world joy
So hush up little baby
You know not what you'll do
You'll bring the world peace and love
And teach them while you do
You have nothing to fear because you know
God is with you all the way
That little important baby
Born on Christmas day
Many people soon gathered round that tiny run down barn
They knew not of what they saw
Then came three all dressed in fancy robes, silks and furs
This was the first indication of the importance of his birth
So hush up little baby
You know not what you'll do
You'll bring the world peace and love
And teach them while you do
You have nothing to fear because you know
God will lead the way
That little important baby
Born on Christmas day
We expected a soldier to save us from our plight
All dressed in shiny armor, ready for a fight
But instead he sent a little baby boy
All filled with love happiness
To bring the world joy
So hush up little baby
You know not what you'll do
You'll bring the world peace and love
And teach them while you do
You have nothing to fear because you know
God will lead the way
That little important baby
Born on Christmas day
That little important baby
There ain't nothing I would rather see
Than you drying off on this dock
I've been thinking, it's so good to be me
But girl, on second thought
Wish I could be the beach towel that you laid down on
Or that two-piece that's fitting you so right, it's wrong
Or the sunshine kissing on your skin
Wish I could be the lake that you're swimming in
Well, I'm hiding behind these Ray-Ban shades
Staring at you like I do
I'm right here beside you and it's killing me
'Cause I can't get close enough to you
Wish I could be the beach towel that you laid down on
Or that two-piece that's fitting you so right, it's wrong
Or the sunshine kissing on your skin
Wish I could be the lake that you're swimming in
Or maybe that book you laid on your chest
When you drift off like you do
Or maybe that 25 SPF
You keep rubbing all over you
Wish I could be the beach towel that you laid down on
Or that two-piece that's fitting you so right, it's wrong
Or the sunshine kissing on your skin
Wish I could be the lake that you're swimming in
I remember sayin' I don't care either way
Just as long as he or she is healthy, I'm okay
And then the doctor pointed to the corner of the screen
And said, "You see that thing right there? Well, you know what that means"
I started wondering who he was going to be
And I thought heaven help us if he's anything like me
He'll probably climb a tree too tall and ride his bike too fast
End up every summer wearin' something in a cast
He's gonna throw a ball and break some glass
In a window down the street
He's gonna get in trouble, oh, he's gonna get in fights
I'm gonna lose my temper and some sleep
It's safe to say that I'm gonna get my payback
If he's anything like me
I can see him right now, knees all skinned up
With a magnifying glass tryin' to melt a Tonka truck
Won't he be a sight with his football helmet on?
That'll be his first love 'til his first love comes along
He'll get his heart broke by the time he's in his teens
And heaven help him if he's anything like me
He'll probably stay out too late and drive his car too fast
Get a speeding ticket, he'll pay for mowing grass
He's gonna get caught skippin' class
And be grounded for a week
He's gonna get into trouble, we're gonna get in fights
I'm gonna lose my temper and some sleep
It's safe to say that I'm gonna get my payback
If he's anything like me
He's gonna love me
And hate me along the way
The years are gonna fly by
And I already dread the day
He's gonna hug his mama, he's gonna shake my hand
He's gonna act like he can't wait to leave
But as he drives out he'll cry his eyes out
If he's anything like me
There's worst folks to be like, oh, he'll be alright
So you say you wanna tie the knot
And you're askin' me if I think that the two of you have got
What it takes to make it work
Well one thing's for sure
All you really need is love
Let me say I'm happy for you both
And here's a little something that the two of you should know
If you want to do it right
Just take my advice
All you really need is love
And a license and a blood test and a bunch of invitations
A minister, a white dress, and of course a congregation
And flowers and music and candles and cake
And a bunch of rice for folks to throw as you drive away
Now what's that expression on your face
You're lookin' kind of pale, is everything OK
Don't worry you'll be fine
If you just keep in mind
All you really need is love
And bridesmaids and groomsmen and a wedding coordinator
And food for the reception, you'll need someone to cater
Did I forget to mention it'll take a couple rings
And of course a P.A. system if you're wantin' me to sing
Now you look so happy you could cry
And that explains the tear drops I see wellin' in your eyes
Don't worry you'll be fine
If you just keep in mind
All you really need is love
I'm sure I'm tellin' you something you already knew
I can make anybody pretty
I can make you believe any lie
I can make you pick a fight
With somebody twice your size
Well I've been known to cause a few breakups
And I've been known to cause a few births
I can make you new friends
Or get you fired from work
And since the day I left Milwaukee
Lynchburg, Bordeaux, France
Been makin' the bars lots of big money
And helpin' white people dance
I got you in trouble in high school
But college now that was a ball
You had some of the best times
You'll never remember with me
Alcohol, alcohol
I got blamed at your wedding reception
For your best man's embarrassing speech
And also for those naked pictures of you at the beach
I've influenced kings and world leaders
I helped Hemingway write like he did
And I`ll bet you a drink or two that I can make you
Put that lampshade on your head
'Cause since the day I left Milwaukee
Lynchburg, Bordeaux, France
Been makin' a fool out of folks just like you
And helpin' white people dance
I am medicine and I am poison
I can help you up or make you fall
You had some of the best times
You'll never remember with me
Alcohol, alcohol
Yes since the day I left Milwaukee
Lynchburg, Bordeaux, France
Been makin' the bars lots of big money
And helpin' white people dance
Yea I got you in trouble in high school
And college now that was a ball
You had some of the best times
You'll never remember with me
Alcohol, alcohol
(Alcohol, alcohol)
(Alcohol, alcohol)
(Alcohol, alcohol)
Well he yelled out from the back row look here preacher man
We all know you're new here but you need to understand
It don't really scare us when you yell and shake your fist
You see we already know that hell exists
Its six months short of thirty years when the boss man lays you off
No thanking you no parachute no shiny new gold watch
Its payments you cant make on a house that you cant sell
See a man don't have to die to go to hell
No you don't have to die to go to hell
So tell us bout them angels and how they fly around and sing
Tell us how to get there cause we all want to be
Restin in the arms of Jesus no shame or pain or tears
There's hell enough to go around down here
Its a place out by the airport where the girls dance just for you
And all you feel is drunk and broke and lonely when their through
Its waking up with nothing but that stale tobacco smell
See a man don't have to die to go to hell
Nah you don't have to die to go to hell
Oooh oooh oooh [x2]
Its every other weekend and Wednesday with your kid
And knowing that he'll hate you when he finds out what you did
Cause you'd all still be together if you loved his momma well
There ain't no end to stories we can tell
Yeah a man don't have to die to go to hell
So tell us bout them angels how they fly around and sing
Darlin' after you left I got that promotion
They transferred me out to La Jolla right on the ocean
And now I'm makin' more money than I can spend
I've got a house on the beach and a bunch of new friends
Oh, you oughta hear what they say
Tellin' me that I've got it made
I've been better
Yeah, I miss those times when we were still together
Right now lookin' back
I don't think the past has ever been this clear
And I realize sittin' here, as I write this letter
Oh, I've been better
I've been seein' a girl that I met out in Spring Valley
She's havin' the time of her life, least that's what she tells me
She says it's love and to tell you the truth
I've tried my best to feel that way too
Oh, but I always realize
When I look into her eyes
That
In the deep dark hills of eastern Kentucky
That's the place where I trace my bloodline
And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone
'You will never leave Harlan alive'
When my granddad's dad walked down Catron's Mountain
And he asked Tillie Helton to be his bride
He said, won't you walk with me out of the mouth of this holler?
Or we'll never leave Harlan alive
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
And the sun goes down about three in the day
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinkin'
And you spend your life just thinkin' of how to get away
Well no one ever knew there was coal in them mountains
'Til a man from the Northeast arrived
Waving hundred dollar bills
He said, I'll pay you for your minerals
But he never left Harlan alive
Well granny, she sold out cheap and they moved out west of Pineville
To a farm where big Richland River winds
I bet they danced them a jig and laughed and sang a new song
Who said we'd never leave Harlan alive?
But the times, they got hard and tobacco wasn't selling
And ole granddad knew what he'd do to survive
He went and dug for Harlan coal
Sent the money back to granny but he never left Harlan alive
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
And the sun goes down about three in the day
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinkin'
And you spend your life just thinkin' of how to get away
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
And the sun goes down about three in the day
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinking
And you spend your life digging coal from the bottom of your grave
In the deep dark hills of eastern Kentucky
That's the place where I trace my bloodline
And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone
You've sure got a real nice place
So don't take this the wrong way
But I can tell by your decorating taste
You've been alone too long
You've got more candles than a midnight mass
That fancy mirror adds a touch of class
But do you know how good a mounted bass
Would look there on that wall
You need a man around here
You can't do it all by yourself
To me it's painfully clear
That you could use a little help
Someone to kill the spiders
Change the channel and drink the beer
Seems to me that you sure need
A man around here
Thumbing through your stack of magazines
I don't see a Maxim or Field and Stream
I haven't been in a room this clean
Since they took my appendix out
Well you've gotta be kidding me
Don't tell me that thing is your TV
My laptop's got a bigger screen
Baby, there ain't no doubt
Someone to kill the spiders
And by the way, you're out of beer
Seems to me that you sure need
A man around here
Yeah, it seems to me that you sure need
Every morning the last couple of weeks
In between shaving and brushing my teeth
I'd lean on the sink and practice my lines
By now you would think they'd be memorized
But leave it to me to come all this way
Get down on one knee, forget what to say
I'm at a loss, should have known this is how it would be
'Cause you have that effect on me
I must admit I still don't understand
Why I lose my head holding your hand
There's no explanation, no simple excuse
For this intoxication I feel around you
And now truth be known since I've met you, girl
I've been walkin' around in my own little world
One look in my eyes, oh, and darlin' any fool could see
That you have that effect on me
You've had your eyes on a two carat ring
I finally went out and I bought it
Right now it's at home sittin' on my TV
Would you believe I forgot it
Oh, but you can't blame me, 'cause it's plain to see
That you have that effect on me
Yeah, you have that effect on me
With seven billion people in this world,
I can't believe your still a single girl,
I bet you're thinking you're better off on your own,
But the best things in life,
Just can't be done alone.
It takes two to make love baby,
I'm sure of that,
I'm one, you're one,
You do the math.
Being single has been kinda fun,
But I can see you with me ridin' shotgun,
I'll take you baby anywhere you wanna go,
And together we can have more fun than we can have alone.
It takes two to make love baby,
I'm sure of that,
I'm one, you're one,
You do the math.
I ain't never been a number's guy, but sure enough,
I look into your eyes and all adds up.
It takes two to make love baby,
I'm sure of that,
I'm one, you're one,
You do the math.
I'm one, you're one,
She's got the focus
she's got the time
she's got a deeper shade in mind
She's got headphones
She's got spring break Swimsuit and Coppertone 8
She's working on a tan
She's sitting in the sand chilling in a chair, flower in her hair margarita in her hand
Soaking up the sun getting next to nothing done
there's a term paper due in a week or two only she don't give a damn
She's working on a tan
working on a tan
All the Kappa Sigma boys been lifting weights hitting that gym drinking protein shakes
they got a cooler full of beer and it's loaded in the jeep why do you think they're going to the
beach
Because she's working on a tan
She's sitting in the sand, chilling in a chair, flower in her hair margarita in her hand
Soaking up the sun getting next to nothing done
shes attracting a crowd got their tongues hanging out but she dont give a damn
She's working on a tan
working on a tan
Yeah so many things run thing her mind?.reapply
So this week while you are stuck in your cubicle or your serving Starbucks or you're still in
school
far from rubbing sunscreen on your skin sorry but I have to rub it in
she's working on a tan
She's sitting in the sand, chilling in a chair, flower in her hair margarita in her hand
Soaking up the sun getting next to nothing done
forget her grades forget her GPA she don't give a damn
She's working on a tan
You really left your mark
On this old house
And this old heart
I see you everywhere
And when I close my eyes
You're still there
And I know
You want me to move on
Start living a new life
Start writing a new song
Don't worry, I ain't going to ask you
To come back and love me
Baby you don't have to
Cuz I can be in love with you, without you
It's not that hard at all
It's like you're out of town
Just forgot to call
Just because you walked away
Doesn't mean my feelings have to change
Now I know
You want me to move on
Stop living an old life
Stop singing an old song
Don't worry, I ain't going to ask you
To come back and love me
Baby you don't have to
Cuz I can be in love with you, without you
Ohhhh and If you're gone for good
I know you'll go far
Cuz how I fell about you
Don't matter where you are
Yeah... and I know
You want me to move on
Start living a new life
Stop singing an old song
But I can be in love with you
No matter where you go
No matter what you do
Sleigh bells ring
Are you listening
In the lane
Snow is glistening
It's a beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
And here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song
As we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say are you married
We'll say no man
But you can do the job
When you're in town
Later on
We'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
We'll face unafraid
The plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Jim Ed Brown
We'll sing "Pop A Top" with Mr. Snowman
When chapel bells are ringing all around
Yeah we'll face unafraid
That plans that we've made
There’s a man standing on the corner
With a sign saying ‘Will work for food’
You know the man, you see him every morning
The one you never give your money to
You can sit there with your window rolled up
Wondering when the light’s gonna turn green
Never knowing what a couple more bucks
In his pocket might mean
What if he’s an angel sent here from heaven
And he’s making certain that you’re doing your best
To take the time to help one another
Brother, are you gonna pass that test
You can go on with your day-to-day
Trying to forget what you saw in his face
Knowing deep down you could have been his saving grace
What if he’s an angel
There’s a man, and there’s a woman
Living right above you in apartment G
There’s a lot of noise coming through the ceiling
And it don’t sound like harmony
You can sit there with your TV turned up
While the words and his anger fly
But come tomorrow when you see her with her shades on
Can you look her in the eye
What if she’s an angel sent here from heaven
And she’s making certain that you’re doing your best
To take the time to help one another
Brother, are you gonna pass that test
You can go on with your day-to-day
Trying to forget what you saw in her face
Knowing deep down you could have been her saving grace
What if she’s an angel
A little girl on Daddy’s lap
Hiding her disease with a baseball cap
You can turn the channel, most people do
But what if you were sitting in her Daddy’s shoes
Maybe she’s an angel sent here from heaven
And she’s making certain that you’re doing your best
To take the time to help one another
Brother, are you gonna pass that test
You can go on with your day-to-day
Trying to forget what you saw in her face
Knowing deep down you could have been her saving grace
When I was ten years old
I remember thinkin' how cool it would be
When we were goin' on an eight hour drive
And I could just watch TV
And I'd have given anything
To have my own Pac-Man game at home
I used to have to get a ride down to the arcade
Now I've got it on my phone
Hey, glory, glory, hallelujah
Welcome to the future
My grandpa was in World War II
He fought against the Japanese
He wrote a hundred letters to my grandma
Mailed 'em from his base in the Philippines
I wish they could see this now
[Incomprehensible]
'Cause I was on a video chat this morning
With a company in Tokyo
Hey, everyday is a revolution
Welcome to the future
Hey, look around it's all so clear
Hey, wherever we would go and when we
Hey, so many things I never thought I'd see
Happening right in front of me
I had a friend in school
Running back on a football team
They burned a cross in his front yard
For asking out the home coming queen
I thought about him today
And everybody who's seen what he's seen
From a woman on a bus
To a man with a dream
Hey, wake up Martin Luther
Welcome to the future
Hey, glory, glory, hallelujah
The bar was empty
I was sweeping up the floor
That's when she walked in
I said, "I'm sorry but we're closed"
And she said "I know,
But I'm afraid I left my purse"
I said, "I put one back behind the bar
I bet it's probably yours"
And the next thing that I knew
There we were, lost in conversation
And before I handed her her purse
I said, "You'll only get this back on one condition"
And we danced
Out there on that empty hardwood floor
The chairs up and the lights turned way down low
The music played, we held each other close
And we danced
And from that moment
There was never any doubt
I had found the one
That I had always dreamed about
And then one evenin'
When she stopped by after work
I pulled a diamond ring out of the pocket of my shirt
And as her eyes filled up with tears
She said, "This is the last thing I expected"
And then she took me by the hand
And said, "I'll only marry you on one condition"
Like no one else had ever danced before
I can't explain what happened on that floor
But the music played
We held each other close
And we danced
Inflatable pool full of dad's hot air
I was three years old splashin' everywhere
And so began my love affair with water
On a river bank with all my friends
A big old rope tied to a limb
And you're a big old wuss if you don't jump in the water
And when that summer sun starts to beatin' down
And you don't know what to do
Grab your swimming trunks, ice up that old Igloo
And drive until the map turns blue
Daytona Beach on spring break
Eighteen girls up on stage
White t-shirts about to be sprayed with water
Let her go boys
And when that summer sun starts to beatin' down
And you don't know what to do
Just go and grab someone you wanna see in a bathing suit
And drive until the map turns blue
You can stay right there when the daylight's gone
Play truth or dare, and it won't take long
'Fore you and her got nothin' on but water
All you really need this time of year
Is a pair of shades and ice cold beer
Yesterday I thought that I was low as I could get
I had hit rock bottom ever since you up and left
But this morning when I saw you with somebody else
Well needless to say
That's when I started sinkin' even lower
And as far as where I'm at today
There's two feet of topsoil
A little bit of bedrock, limestone in between
A fossilized dinosaur
A little patch of crude oil
A thousand feet of granite underneath
Then there's me
I was kinda hopin' I could dig my way back out
A couple dozen roses maybe get you back somehow
But the love in your eyes as you talked to him today was plain to see
So I ain't gonna get involved, but
should you change your mind
Well you know right where I'll be...
There's two feet of topsoil
A little bit of bedrock, limestone in between
A fossilized dinosaur
A little patch of crude oil
A thousand feet of granite underneath
Love starts with a toothbrush a bic razor and a dixie cup
a little splash of aftershave before you leave for that first date
Seeing stars in both your eyes after that first kiss goodnight
Forever starts with a suitcase sneaking out the window getaway
to the car parked by the curb gassed up for Gatlinburg
a little chapel and couple of rings
will get you two toothbrushes by the bathroom sink
Everything that's anything starts out as a little think
it just needs sometime to grow
Step by step day by day it all adds up along the way
and the next thing that you know
Life starts with a little house
a corner lot on the edge of town
a weedeater and a picket fence
think its as good as the getting gets
then she wakes up feeling bad and you both wonder whats up with that
Everything that's anything starts out as a little think
it just needs a little time to grow
Step by step day by day it all adds up along the way
and the next thing that you know
one night around 8 oclock
you scrub him down and then you dry him off
pick him up and put his little feet on the by the bathroom sink
you grab the crest and a dixie cup it all hits you as he opens up
Too country what's that
Is it like too Republican or too Democrat
Is it too far to the left
Too far to the right
Too straight down the middle
Is it too black or too white
Are the biscuits too fluffy is the chicken too fried
Is the gravy too thick are the peas too black-eyed
Is the iced tea too sweet does it have too much tang
Are there too many lemons in mama's lemon meringue
Too country what's that
It is too many pearls of wisdom under grandpa's old hat
Is it just too old fashioned is it just too antique
Is the question too strong or the answer too weak
Are the roses too red is the sunshine too bright
Are there too many stars in the heavens at night
Are there too many fish that still jump in the stream
Is the blue sky too blue is the clean air too clean
Is the grace too amazing is the steeple too tall
Are there too many "yes sir's", "yes ma'am's"
And "how're y'all's"
Is the message too real too close to the bone
Do the fiddle and steel remind you too much of home
Is honest and true just not in demand
Too country
Too country
Too country
Its astounding
Time is fleeting
Madness, takes its toll.
But listen closely,
Not for very much longer.
Ive got to keep control. . .
I remember doing the time warp.
Drinking, those moments when,
The blackness within me.
I remember, trying not to stare the night that I first met you
You had me mezmorized
And three weeks later, in the front porch light
taking forty-five minutes to kiss goodnight
I hadn't told you yet
but I thought I loved you then
Chorus
And now you're my whole life
now you're my whole world
I just can't believe the way I feel about you, girl
Like a river meets the sea,
stronger than it's ever been.
We've come so far since that day
And I thought I loved you then
And i remember, taking you back to right where I first met you,
You were so surprised
There were people around, but I didn't care
Got down on one knee right there once again,
I thought I loved you then
Chorus
And now you're my whole life
now you're my whole world
I just can't believe the way I feel about you, girl
Like a river meets the sea,
stronger than it's ever been.
We've come so far since that day
And I thought I loved you then
I could just see you, with a baby on the way
And I could just see you, when your hair is turning gray
What I can't see is how I'm ever gonna love you more
But I've said that before
And now you're my whole life
now you're my whole world
I just can't believe the way I feel about you, girl
We'll look back someday, at this moment that we're in
And I'll look at you and say
And I thought I loved you then
36, 32, boot cut with a skoal ring
Grease stains, bleach spots and a hole in the knee
You say the man inside those Levi's don't take orders
And she'll just have to realize you'll do as you damn well please
You wear the pants, buddy good for you
I'm so impressed, yeah whoopty-doo
You need to know that ain't how it works
It's not who wears the pants, it's who wears the skirt
In the top drawer of her dresser there's some panties
Go try on that purple pair with the lacy frill
With your big old thighs I bet you can't get in 'em
And with that attitude of yours, hell I bet you never will
You wear the pants, buddy good for you
I'm so impressed, yeah whoopty-doo
You need to know that ain't how it works
It's not who wears the pants, it's who wears the skirt
A big old boy like you can probably bench 350
A little thing like her can barely lift the bar
But just wait until that woman has a headache
And she sits there with her legs crossed we'll see how strong you are
You wear the pants, buddy good for you
We're so impressed, whoopty-doo
You'll soon find out that ain't how it works
It's not who wears the pants, it's who wears the skirt
There ain't a woman in the world that wants to hear the word yes
When she asks if you think that she looks chubby in that dress
And if she cooks all day you better eat it with a smile
It doesn't matter if it tastes just like bad gravy on a Goodyear tire
Yeah, yeah, yeah all right so you bend the truth
Yeah, yeah, yeah that's somethin' that you'll have to get use to
'Cause that's love you'll see
We all commit a little bit of perjury
Ah but that's no crime if you ask me, that's love
You're starin' at a burnt steak
You bite the bullet and you clean your plate
And then you go on and on about how great it was
That's not a lie, that's love
Well it's the very same thing that she does for you
When she doesn't bring up the fifteen pounds that you need to lose
And every time she runs her fingers through your hair
And she says she kinda likes the way there's not as much of it there
Yeah, yeah, yeah well all right so she bends the truth
Yeah, yeah, yeah that's somethin' that you have to get use to
'Cause that's love you'll see
We all commit a little bit of perjury
Ah but that's no crime if you ask me, that's love
Your bummin out so she says
"There's sumthin' kinda sexy bout a bald head
Aww and hunny it'll make you look twice as tough."
That's not a lie, that's love
Yeah, yeah, yeah well all right so you bend the truth
Yeah, yeah, yeah that's somethin' that you'll both gonna do
'Cause that's love you'll see
We all commit a little bit of perjury
You say I like it when your momma comes to visit us
You may think I'm wrong for you
And you're wrong for me
To look at us on paper
I would have to agree
It could have been the moon light
Or it could have been the wine
But the way that we were acting
Hell it could have been the moon shine
And oh we're do we go from here
I don't know
But baby one thing's clear
Some mistakes are too much fun
To only make once
There's this little straight stretch
Just south of here
It's great for mashing down the gas
And trying out fifth gear
But it's also a speed trap
Twice I've gotten caught
But something bout it calls to me
And I can't seem to stop
And oh you have the same effect
I know I'll just keep coming back
Some mistakes are too much fun
To only make once
Well there are things in life that I regret
And even more that haven't happened yet
But it would be a shame if our little fling
Always stayed a onetime thing
Someday if we're lucky
We'll get old enough to finally be embarrassed
By the crazy things we've done
Be just like our parents
Responsible and bland
No risk, no excitement
Hey lets get it while we can
Cause
Some Mistakes are too much fun
To only make once
Love like this is too much fun
She's a yellow pair of running shoes
A holey pair of jeans
She looks great in cheap sunglasses
She looks great in anything
She's I want a piece of chocolate
Take me to a movie
She's I can't find a thing to wear
Now and then she's moody
She's a Saturn with a sunroof
With her brown hair a-blowing
She's a soft place to land
And a good feeling knowing
She's a warm conversation
That I wouldn't miss for nothing
She's a fighter when she's mad
And she's a lover when she's loving
And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
I talk about her, I go on and on and on
'Cause she's everything to me
She's a Saturday out on the town
And a church girl on Sunday
She's a cross around her neck
And a cuss word 'cause its Monday
She's a bubble bath and candles
Baby come and kiss me
She's a one glass of wine
And she's feeling kinda tipsy
She's the giver I wish I could be
And the stealer of the covers
She's a picture in my wallet
Of my unborn children's mother
She's the hand that I'm holding
When I'm on my knees and praying
She's the answer to my prayer
And she's the song that I'm playing
She's the voice I love to hear
Someday when I'm ninety
She's that wooden rocking chair
I want rocking right beside me
Everyday that passes
I only love her more
Yeah, she's the one
That I'd lay down my own life for
And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
She's everything to me
Yeah she's everything to me
Everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
She moved into my old apartment
That’s how we got this whole thing started
She called and said that I had mail
Waiting there for me
I told her that I’d come and get it
How could I know in just a minute
That I’d be standing face to face
With my own destiny
Oh, and we sat there talking
Just like we were old friends
Oh, then I asked her
Can I see you again
She said yes, and I said why
And she said when, and I said how about right now
Love can’t wait, then I asked if she believed in fate
And she said yes
The days flew by just like a fast train
And nothing else has been my brain
Except the thought of how she makes me
The man I wanna be
She’s the one I want for a million reasons
Loving her is just like breathing
It seems the end is obvious
She was made for me
Oh, then it happened one night
Looking in her eyes
Oh, when I popped the question
Much to my surprise
She said yes, and I said why
And she said when, and I said how about right now
Love can’t wait, then I asked if she believed in fate
And she said yes
So we called a preacher, family and friends
And nothing’s been the same since she said yes
And I said why
And she said when, and I said how about right now
Love can’t wait, then I asked if she believed in fate
And she said yes
Well the reindeer pull the sleigh
And the elves make the toys
Those are the stories that are well known to all
Little girls and boys
But I've got another story
That I bet you haven't heard
Did you know that Santa
Has a secret agent bird
He's Penguin, James Penguin
That dapper little guy
Like a well dressed duck in a three piece tux
He's Santa's secret spy
Have you ever wondered
How Santa keeps tabs
How he knows when you've been good
How he knows when you've been bad
He's Penguin, James Penguin
That dapper little guy
Like a well dressed duck in a three piece tux
He's Santa's secret spy
From an undisclosed location
He's watching me and you
He's got satellite uplinks in his cufflinks
Yeah he sees everything you do
He's Penguin, James Penguin
That dapper little guy
Like a well dressed duck in a three piece tux
He's Santa's secret spy
Not so very long ago
Santa didn't need much help
But with more and more kids every year
He soon got overwhelmed
He told the elves one Christmas
We can't do this anymore
Then a knight in shining polyester
Waddled through his door
And it was Penguin, James Penguin
He was there to save the day
He had wireless
And GPS outfitted on the sleigh
And Santa said Penguin
Won't you be my ears and eyes
How'd you like to help me run
My SCFBI
He's Penguin, James Penguin
And now I guess you've heard
How Santa got his little Christmas
Hollywood never fails to make a sequel
For each and every movie that does well
Why can't love be more like that
Where the best ones get a second chance
And that way though you're gone
It wouldn't be that long ('til)
I'd see you in part two
And we'd pick up where we left off
When I lost you
And we'd fall in love again
And change the way the story ends
Yeah, we'd bring back me and you
In part two
Lookin' back we had so much to look forward to
The kind of love that deserves to be continued
And if this were only Tinseltown
By now they would have figured out
A way for you and I
To give it one more try (and)
I'd see you in part two
And we'd pick up where we left off
When I lost you
And we'd fall in love again
And change the way the story ends
Yeah, we'd bring back me and you
In part two
Yeah, we'd fall in love again
And change the way the story ends
Yeah, we'd bring back me and you
I'm sittin' on the fender of someone else's truck
Drinkin' Old Crow Whiskey and hot 7 Up
Out in the parkin' lot
You can hear the band playin' right through the walls
Ain't no cover charge, ain't no last call
Out in the parkin' lot
Yeah, I love to see the neon dancin' on the gravel
And I love to hear the pickup trucks as they come unraveled
Some've given up, some've given in
Seems like everybody's lookin' for a friend
Out in the parkin' lot
Whoops, there's a couple who could not wait to get home
They're probably in love, so let's leave them alone
Out in the parkin' lot
There's a couple of cowboys puttin' up their dukes
But there weren't much to it after both of 'em puked
Out in the parkin' lot
Yeah, I love to see the neon dancin' on the gravel
And I love to hear the pickup trucks come unraveled
Some've given up and some've given in
Seems like everybody's lookin' for a friend
Out in the parkin' lot
Now, the band is on the bus and they're all loaded up to leave
But the drummer's got a girlfriend and she's tuggin' at his sleeve
Out in the parkin' lot
Yeah, I love to see the neon dancin' on the gravel
I love to hear the pickup trucks come unraveled
Some've given up, some've given in
Seems like everybody's lookin' for a friend
Out in the parkin' lot
I'm sittin' on the fender of someone else's truck
Drinkin' Old Crow Whiskey and hot 7 Up
Out in the parkin' lot
He finally gave in to his friend's girlfriend
When she said ‘there's someone you should meet’
At a crowded restaurant way cross town
He waited impatiently
When she walked in their eyes met and they both stared
And right there and then everyone else disappeared
But one boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly
To put it mildly it was love at first sight
He smiled, she smiled and they knew right away
This was the day they'd waited for all their lives
And for a moment the whole world
Revolved around one boy and one girl
In no time at all they were standing there
In the front of a little church
Among their friends and family
Repeating those sacred words
Preacher said, ‘Son, kiss your bride,’ and he raised her veil
Like the night they met time just stood still
For one boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly
To put it mildly it was love at first sight
He smiled, she smiled and they knew right away
This was the day they'd waited for all their lives
And for a moment the whole world
Revolved around one boy and one girl
He was holding her hand when the doctor looked up and grinned
‘Congratulations, twins’
One boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly
To put it mildly it was love at first sight
He smiled, she smiled and they knew right away
This was the day they'd waited for all their lives
And for a moment the whole world
She'd rather wear a pair of cut-off jeans
Than an evening dress
And with the windows rolled down
And her hair blowin all around
Well, she's a hot Southern mess
She'd take a beer over white wine
A campfire over candle light
And when it comes to love,
Her idea of a romantic night
Is listenin' to old Alabama
And driving through Tennessee
A little "Dixieland Delight" and
"The Right Time of the Night",
And she can't keep her off of me
And now we rollin' down an old backroad
I've got the steering wheel in one hand
We'll find a hideaway where she and I can play
In Mother Nature's band
Now, we're listenin' to old Alabama
Parked somewhere in Tennessee
A little "Dixieland Delight",
And "It Feels So Right",
And it's "Love In the First Degree"
Forget about Sinatra or Coltrane
Or some ol' Righteous Brothers' song
Hey, even barry White ain't gonna work tonight
If you really wanna turn her on
(Alabama)
Play some back home, come on, music
That comes from the heart
Play somethin' with lots of feelin'
'Cause that's where music has to start
(Brad)
Now, we're listenin' to old Alabama
And we're drivin' through Tennessee
A little "Dixieland Delight",
And "It Feels So Right",
And it's "Love In the First Degree"
Yeah, you know we're listenin' to old Alabama (Old Alabama)
And drivin' through Tennessee
A little "Why, Lady, Why"
At "The Right Time of the Night",
And she can't keep her hands off of me
Oh, play me some old Alabama
Oh, play me some old Alabama
Won't you play me some old Alabama
I opened my eyes, look at the clock,
It says eight fifteen,
Stumble out of bed, fumble down the hall,
still half asleep.
Opened up a window, opened up the paper,
And put some coffee on, grab two cups,
Oh yeah, you're gone.
Shower and shave, take a little time to read the news,
Sort through the mail,
see something about some sale they're having on women's shoes,
Billy's band is playing at the Canyon club on Friday,
I bet they sing our song, maybe we can go,
Oh year, you're gone.
This is gonna take some getting used to baby,
I'm gonna need more time,
Cause I still say us when I ought to say me,
I still say ours instead of mine,
Every plan I make, every road I take,
I still see you riding along,
Then suddenly it hits me,
Oh yeah, you're gone.
This is gonna take some getting used to baby,
I think I need more time,
Because I still say us, when I ought to say me,
I still say ours instead of mine,
Every plan I make, every road I take,
I still see you riding alone,
Then suddenly it hits me,
Oh yeah, you're gone.
Oh there ain't no doubt about it baby,
Well hey, hey Mr. Policeman
Bet I can drive faster'n you can
C'mon hoss lets have some fun
Go on shoot me with a radar gun
You look bored and I sure am
Catch me if you can
Hey hey mr. policeman
I got a 75 firebird trans am
With a 455 up under the hood
Me and my brother got it runnin good
Wake up behind those ol' ray-bans
Catch me if you can
Go on turn on your blue lights (sooo pretty!)
You know you want to I just flew by
I can see you peeling out
Hows my dust taste in your mouth?
C'mon smokey its time to race
Lets have us a high speed chase
Well hey hey mr. policeman
Chopper in the air and a couple of swat vans
That's not fair they're blockin the road
Now where am I supposed to go?
Time to use my backup plan
Catch me if you can
Hey hey mr. policeman
Bet I can run faster'n you can
With your big pot belly
And your cowboy boots,
100 bucks says you won't shoot
I know these woods like the back of my hand
Come on catch me if you can
Go on turn on your spotlight (sooo shiny!!)
I got runnin shoes and im younger than you
And I got all night
Theres no way you're keepin up with me
Just go on back to the Krispy Kreme
If you wanna quit I understand
Catch me if you can
Hey hey mr. policeman
I said hey hey mr. policeman
Im in the jailhouse now
I'm in the jailhouse now
They told me once or twice
Son, respect my authority
Like a boat on a river
This bus is floating down this old highway
Looking out the window
I think about how I got here today
Oh, anyone who’s anywhere
Had some help getting there, it’s true
One of the reasons
Why I get to do the things I do
I met this angel with calloused hands
Who let this boy into his band
Under his wing I learned to fly
On these six strings, through this life
You can hear him in my playing, although he’s gone
And I owe him so much more than just this song
Like a leaf that had fallen
I was drifting down the stream
Mr Guitar came into my life
And let me live this dream
His old Brecht still speaking
It’s teaching all of us a tone
He was my friend and my hero
All wrapped up in one
I met this angel with calloused hands
Who let this naive boy into his band
Under his wing I learned to fly
On these six strings, into the night
I can still hear him playing, although he’s gone
And I owe him so much more than just this song
And every face we see
From every stage we roam
With every note we play
Even though they’re gone
You over think things
You say what if we're not meant to be
Well you know what so what
Make a mistake with me
Nobody goes through this life and does
Everything perfectly
We're all gonna fail so you might as well
Make a mistake with me
Sometimes baby when we take
A chance that has this much at stake
We look back and in hindsight
What seemed wrong looks more like right
So I say worst case we'll be left with
Lots of good memories
This chance we have well it's worth that
So make a mistake with me
I'm tellin' you the right thing to do
Is make a mistake
Make a mistake
Well I'll never forget the first time that I heard
That pretty mouth say that dirty word
And I can't even remember now what she backed my truck into
But she covered her mouth and her face got red
And she just looked so darn cute
That I couldn't even act like I was mad
Yeah I live for little moments like that
Well that's just like last year on my birthday
She lost all track of time and burnt the cake
And every smoke detector in the house was goin' off
And she was just about to cry until I took her in my arms
And I tried not to let her see me laugh
Yeah I live for little moments like that
I know she's not perfect but she tries so hard for me
And I thank god that she isn't 'cause how boring would that be
It's the little imperfections it's the sudden change in plans
When she misreads the directions and we're lost but holdin' hands
Yeah I live for little moments like that
When she's layin' on my shoulder on the sofa in the dark
And about the time she falls asleep so does my right arm
And I want so bad to move it 'cause it's tinglin' and it's numb
But she looks so much like an angel that I don't wanna wake her up
Yeah I live for little moments
When she steals my heart again and doesn't even know it
If I could write a letter to me
And send it back in time to myself at 17
First I'd prove it's me by saying look under your bed
There's a Skoal can and a Playboy no one else would know you hid
And then I'd say I know its tough
When you break up after seven months
And yeah I know you really liked her and it just don't seem fair
All I can say is pain like that is fast and it's rare
And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
She wasn't right for you
And still you feel like there's a knife sticking out of your back
And you're wondering if you'll survive
You'll make it through this and you'll see
You're still around to write this letter to me
At the stop sign at Tomlinson and Eighth
Always stop completely don't just tap your brakes
And when you get a date with Bridgett make sure the tank is full
On second thought forget it that one turns out kinda cool
Each and every time you have a fight
Just assume you're wrong and dad is right
And you should really thank Mrs. Brinkman
She spend so much extra time
It's like she sees the diamond underneath
And she's polishing you 'til you shine
And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
Tonight's the bonfire rally
But you're staying home instead because if you fail Algebra
Mom and dad will kill you dead
Trust me you'll squeak by and get a C
And you're still around to write this letter to me
You've got so much up ahead
You'll make new friends
You should see your kids and wife
And I'd end up saying have no fear
These are nowhere near the best years of your life
I guess I'll see you in the mirror
When you're a grown man
P.S. "go hug Aunt Rita every chance you can"
And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
I wish you'd study Spanish
I wish you'd take a typing class
I wish you wouldn't worry, let it be
I'd say have a little faith and you'll see
If I could write a letter to me
Oh lighten up, where's your sense of humor
They're just tiny little rumors
That I started 'cause I'm lookin' out for you
Oh settle down, I'm just a little jealous
And I'm sure those other fellas
Never once believed the lies I told were true
Like the time I told that cowboy that you used to be a man
And the doctor you were datin' that you hide your wedding band
Even if I am responsible for scaring them away
You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favor
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway
Oh can't you see, the reason that I'm doin'
All the crazy things I'm doin'
Is because I really care about you girl
And I'll admit I go a little farther
Than I know I probably oughta
But it's all because I need you in my world
Like the time I told that lawyer that you spent a year in jail
And the salesman you were seein' you hang out at cheap motels
Even if I am responsible for scaring them away
You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favor
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway
I can't stand the thought of you with anybody else
I know I've gone overboard but I can't help myself
Like the time I told that dentist you had seven little kids
And you doubled as a dancer at the strip joint on the ridge
Even if I am responsible for scaring him away
You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favor
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway
It's all because I love you and I can't stop thinkin' of you
A single red rose and a table for two
A nice chardonay and an ocean view
Ships comin in and stars comin out
We sat and we talked till the place closed down
Then we took a long walk down on the beach
Her in that white dress and her bare feet
We stopped and we watched the lighthouse light
And pulled her close and i held on tight
And i said to myself
It doesnt get better than this
No it doesnt get better than this
And it did
It did
Whoa it did
Fastforeward to that next spring
We were lookin for a preacher
Pickin out rings
Family comin in and friends comin out
To that white church on the outskirts of town
Me in that tux fightin butterflies
Tears of joy in the mommas eyes
Her daddy walkin her down the aisle
He lifted that veil and i saw that smile
And i said
To myself
It doesnt get better than this
No it doesnt get better than this
But it did
It did
Oh it did
Just when i start thinkin its as good as it can get
This crazy life does somethin just to let me know
I haven't seen anything yet
Nine months later nearly to the day
There we were flyin down the interstate
Car weavin in and car weavin out
Through traffic runnin every red light in town
Delivery room and the doctor comes in
I'm right beside and shes squeezin my hand
One more push and a baby cries
Sweet little angel with his momma's eyes
And i said
To myself
It doesnt get better than this
No it doesnt get better than this
But it did
It did
Oh it did
She?s 98 pounds, workin? down at the Dairy Queen
With a noble V home perm and braces
And he?s long haired, no job and just 19
They got a baby on the way, they?re of to the races
In love, look at ?em go
Now what in the world could go wrong?
Don?t tell them the odds, it?s best they don?t know
If love was a plane, nobody get on
At the Ivy, at lunch time in Beverly Hills
The paparazzi are gathered outside
?Coz an actor and an actress are havin? lunch
And accordin? to 'Extra and Entertainment Tonight', their in
Love look at ?em go
Now what in the world could go wrong?
Don?t tell them the odds, it?s best they don?t know
If love was a plane, nobody get on
Imagine now the pilot?s voice on the intercom
Right before we leave the ground
Sayin?, 'Folks thanks for flyin? with us
But there?s a 6 in 10 chance we?re goin? down'
But that?s the strangest thing about this emotion
Even knowin? our chances are small
We line up at the gate with our tickets
Thinkin? somehow we?re different, I mean after all, we?re in
Love look at us go
Now what in the world could go wrong?
To hell with the odds, we rather not know
If love was a plane, nobody get on
I talked to my sister in Memphis
And I told her you were movin' to town
Here's her number
She said she'd be glad to show you around
I left a map on your front seat
Just in case you lose your way
But don't worry, once you reach Sallisaw
It's all interstate
I know you need to go
But before you do I want you to know, that I
Wish you the best
And I wish you nothing less
Than every thing you've ever dreamed of
And I hope that you find love along the way
But most of all
I wish you'd stay
I figure right about sundown
You'll be in West Tennessee
And by then
Maybe I'll understand why you had to leave
I know that you've done some changin'
And I know there's no changin' your mind
And yes I know
We've been through this a thousand times
I'm sorry for still holdin' on
I'll try to let go and I'll try to be strong, and I'll
Wish you the best
And I wish you nothing less
Than every thing you've ever dreamed of
And I hope that you find love along the way
But most of all
I wish you'd stay
Yeah, everything you've ever dreamed of
And I hope that you'll find love along the way
But most of all
I wish you'd stay
Somebody's gotta scratch your back
The places you can't reach
Say something that'll make you laugh
That's exactly what you need
And I hope that's me, I hope that's me
Somebody's gonna get dressed up
And take you out for valentine's
Get lots of jealous looks
Thinking that's one lucky guy
And I hope that's me, I hope that's me
And you, you keep on wondering who
Is gonna love you like I already do
And I keep wondering when you'll see
That eventually
Somebody's gonna throw on a coat
When your fever hits a hundred and two
Go down and pick your prescription up
And come home and fix you soup
And I hope that's me, I hope that's me
Somebody's gonna buy a ring
Somebody's gonna make you cry
Somebody's gonna lift that veil
And get to look into your eyes
And I hope that's me, I hope that's me
'Cause you, you keep on wondering who
Is gonna love you like I already do
And I keep wondering when you'll see
Maybe eventually
Old man on a front porch swing
Looking back on his long life
Glass of ice tea in his hand
Other arm around his wife
I hope that's you, I hope that's me
I hope that's you and I hope that's me
I hope that's you and I hope that's me
I hope that's you, and I hope that's me
stop starin' at me
leave the sad looks at home
everybody feels bad,
and you don't understand,
it's not like i'm alone
'cause everyone has battles to fight
and i don't need your sympathy tonight
yeah, it's a hard life
but i'm okay
if i didn't have this, i wouldn't be who i am today
and i have lots of friends
oh, and i have love
and yeah, i have a hard life but in some ways everybody does
there's a lot i can't do
but don't be judgin me
i'm in a body i hate
but i have my faith, more then what you see
so what if i can't kick a soccer ball into a goal?
i feel like i can lift 500 pounds with my soul
yeah, it's a hard life
oh, but i'm okay
if i didn't have this, i wouldn't be who i am today
and i have lots of friends
oh, and i have love
yeah, i have a hard life but in some ways everybody does
and some like me have lost their battle
but they will be the sun that gives you warmth,
and lights the way so we can shine on
yeah, it's a hard life
but i'm okay
if i didn't have this, i wouldn't be who i am today
and i have lots of friends
oh, and i have love
yeah, i have a hard life but in some ways everybody does
Long stem things of beauty
Created by the good Lord
Cut down in the prime of their lives
Boxed up, wrapped in paper
Delivered to your front door
Just to wind up in your garbage can outside
Tell me how many flowers have to die
Before you give this love another try
I've asked you to forgive me at least 9 dozen times
Tell me how many flowers have to die
I'm crazy and I'm desperate
I had you and I blew it
And right now I've got nothing left to lose
I've got a Visa in my wallet
And I'm not afraid to use it
How long the needless violence lasts
Is really up to you
Stop the senseless killing
Can't you hear the roses cry
Baby, how many flowers have to die
When you find yourself in some far off place
And it causes you to rethink some things
You start to sense that slowly you?re becoming someone else
And then you find yourself
When you make new friends in a brand new town
And you start to think about settling down
The things that would have been lost on you are now clear as a bell
And you find yourself, yeah, that?s when you find yourself
Well, you go through life so sure of where you?re heading
And you wind up lost and it?s the best thing that could happen
?Cause sometimes when you lose your way it?s really just as well
?Cause you find yourself, yeah, that's when you find yourself
When you meet the one that you?ve been waiting for
And she?s everything that you want and more
You look at her and you finally start to live for someone else
And then you find yourself, yeah, that?s when you find yourself
We go though life so sure of where we?re heading
And then we wind up lost and it?s the best thing that could happen
Sometimes when you lose your way it?s really just as well
Well you're the first car in an hour or so
I'm glad you stopped in it's sure been slow around here today
Just like everyday
Well I couldn't help but notice your California plates
And I thought I recognized that name on your credit card
You're a movie star
Well I can't wait to get back home and tell all my buddies
That I met one of the most famous people in the country
Well I only go to movies when I'm down in Bowling Green
The cable don't come out this far so I never watch TV
I know you played in somethin' but I'm gonna need some help
Wait weren't you in Cannonball Run, no oh well
Allow me to introduce myself
My name ain't John this is somebody else's greasy shirt my name's Kurt
This is the town that I grew up in
Never seen L.A. the closest I've been to Hollywood is Dollywood
But when you get back to Beverly Hills you can tell all your buddies
That you met one of the most famous people in the country
'Cause I caught the record small mouth out on Kentucky lake
And I threw the winning touchdown pass the night that we won state
And I'm still signin' autographs after all these years
Oh yeah, guess I'm gonna need yours, sign um here
I've been thinking about doing some acting some day
If I ever do make it out to L.A. can I give you a shout
Maybe crash on your couch
If you hear of any roles that are floating around
That would put me and Ashley Judd makin' out in a steamy love scene
Well I'd work pretty cheap
If the phones are down just ask around you'll get a hold of me
'Cause I'm one of the most famous people in the country

I need to go out but not around here
there ain't nowhere we haven't gone
there's this travel agent that I know who says Cozumel is real nice
and so he got me a deal on a flight and a room and a little bit of free advice
don't drink the water
I told him that's ok
I ain't going down
to Mexico to drink the water anyway
blake aint you been there yeah
(Blake) I've been there a time or two
They got some sweet Senoritas
that are more than glad to meet you
but I'm tellin you boy that whatever you do
don't drink the water
ok ok
I ain't going down
to Mexico to drink the water anyway
Corona or Tecate or my old friend Jose
I ain't going down
to Mexico to drink the water anyway
on this trip anything I sip better have a kick and a burn
strong enough to get you off my mind
little by little and a little grub of worm
don't drink the water
that's what they say
I ain't going down
to Mexico to drink the water anyway
no one i know goes to Mexico
Oh yeah, sure, no problem
I'll just throw away these feelings
Let go of all these hopes
And never think of you
No offense, but you've lost it
If you think I'll just forget you
And decide that I don't love you
Do you realize what you're tellin' me to do
It's like sayin' don't breathe
Or don't blink
Well darlin' I don't think you understand
See, I can't just turn this off
It's like sayin' don't eat
Or don't sleep
Our love's just one of those things
That I've gotten used to doin' way too long
You don't have to worry
I'm not gonna stop you
You can pack up all your things
And head on out that door
But don't stand there and tell me
How you think it would be best
To leave my feelings in the past
And not allow myself to love you anymore
It's like sayin' don't eat
Or don't sleep
Our love's just one of those things
The Grand Old Op'ry Theatre proudly presents
Cornography, Kung Pao, episode two
The continuing adventures of the Kung Pao Buckaroos
The three cowboys needed a place to bed down for the night
So I suggested the establishment of Miss Kitty May
Or she may not
A former love and a woman of questionable repute
So they walked into the saloon and asked for Miss Kitty
And just then, they heard a voice saying
"Hi, boys, you lookin' for these"
And the littlest cowboy turned around
To see two huge 38s pointed right at his face
Jimmy, you can't say that
What? She had huge guns
Smith and Wesson revolvers
Oh boy, were they loaded, oh brother
Cornography
She's aiming them right at us
Softer, George, it's more effective
She's aiming them right at us, everybody duck
Not you, Jimmy, you stand up normal
They dropped the money they owed her and she bent over to pick it up
And, oh, that moon was beautiful, now Jimmy, you can't say that
Out the window, I couldn't see it till then George
Oh, there were mountains in the way
Cornography
You guys are gonna get in trouble for this
That woman sure chaps my, ask her out then
I think he's got a little thing for her, George
Louder, Bill, it's more effective
I think he's got a little thing for her, George
It's not that little
That was worth a three or four, Bill
All right, Jimmy, let's get serious now
So the little cowboy was tryin' not to act too excited
But when I look at a woman that beautiful, it's hard
Jimmy, what, it's very difficult
I hope they're not recordin' this, yeah, ah
Cornography
And I said, "Cowgirl, how would you like a little cowpoke?"
Here we go, ooh yeah, need a little buckaroo?
In your dreams short barrel
Bum chicka bow wow, oh my God
So the Kung Poo Buck, Kung Poo
So the Kung Pao Buckaroos rode off into the sunset
Tune in next time for more action and romance
At the first sign of morning light ol' glory's in the sky
Across the pond it's afternoon and the Union Jack flies high
We're on our first cup of coffee
We're on our third cup of tea
And we can't pretend to live on different planets, you and me
In this collision of worlds
Watch the new day dawn on a distant shore
In this collision of worlds
Oh you can't sit this out no more
Abbey Road, Route 66,
CIA to the MI-6, right lane, left lane,
Metric, imperial, pounds, dollars
Howdy, cheerio,
That V8 growl to a V12 scream
Hail to the chief, God save the queen
Cops, bobbies, Tabasco, Wasabi
Pistachio ice cream.
In this collision of worlds
Well it's too late and you can't stop it now
In this collision of worlds
Yeah find you a place and just watch it now
Yeah you're a good ole boy
Well you're a decent bloke
I say it's irony, I say it's a joke
When I look around, now I can see
We ain't so different, you and me
Meat and potatoes, bangers and mash
Dollars, pounds, dosh, cash
Autobahn, to the rising sun
The I10, to the M1
Congress, Parliament, President, The Queen!
Petrol, you say gasoline
Now grab your bird, and get your girl
Now it's a small world
Collision of worlds
Watch the new day dawn on a distant shore
In this collision of worlds
No you can't sit this out no more
It's a collision of worlds
It's too late and you can't stop it now
Collision of worlds
West Texas forecast, more of the same
Sunny and mild, no chance to rain
That old John Deere tractor ain't moved in days
Oh, but he's out there climbin' back on
Because he's yet to admit that his crops are all gone
She stares out the window, fightin' back tears
And watches him wastin' his time in the fields
An' they're havin' problems payin' the bills
All she knows that it won't be long
Before the bank finally places a lien on the farm
And the tractor keeps rollin?
The dust rises high
Creating the only cloud in the sky
He?s holdin? his ground
But it?s gettin? tough
He?s keepin? his faith
In the Lord up above
Prayin? for rain
Through a cloud of dust
Yesterday somethin' in town caught his eye
The old hardware store, had a 'Help Wanted' sign
He thought about stoppin' but he drove on by
'Cause he just can't bear to let go
After all it's the only life he's ever known
And the tractor keeps rollin?
The dust rises high
Creating the only cloud in the sky
He?s holdin? his ground
But it?s gettin? tough
He?s keepin? his faith
In the Lord up above
Prayin? for rain
Through a cloud of dust
Yeah, he's holdin' his ground
But it's gettin' tough
He's keepin' his faith
In the Lord up above
Prayin' for rain
Through a cloud of dust
West Texas forecast, more of the same
I filled up two shopping carts late last night
One was full of fishing gear, the other Miller Lite
The checkout lady laughed and said you think you've got enough?
And I said yeah, you're probably right and filled another two carts up
Gonna catch all the fish, gonna drink all the beer
Gonna hanker down, we're staying here
Might take all day, might take all year
Till we catch all the fish, till we drink all the beer
So I picked up the boys at dawn and we were on our way
It hadn't been ten minutes before Jimmy's cellphone rang
His old lady asked him how long we'd be on the lake
And I said you tell her we're staying here however long it takes
Gonna catch all the fish, gonna drink all the beer
Better warn her now, better make it clear
Might take all day, might take all year
Till we catch all the fish, till we drink all the beer
Just as long as there's a can left in that cooler
Just as long as there's a bass left in that lake
That just means we've still got some work to do here
Just as long as there's still gas left in that tank
As long as there's a can left in that cooler
As long as there's a bass left in that lake
That just means that we've still got some work to do here
As long as there's still gas left in that tank
Well, we caught all the fish and we drank all the beer
And we ran outta gas, now we're stuck out here
A bunch of empty cans and worthless fishing gear
'Cause we drank all the fish and we caught all the beer
Kevin wasn't really all that popular in school
But I remember well the day I thought
Now, that guy's pretty cool
He pulled into the parking lot and everybody cheered
'Cause he'd gone and painted his entire Chevy Cavalier
Camouflage, camouflage
It disappears when it pulls out of his garage
Camouflage, camouflage
Well, I asked Jenny to the prom
And her mom knew how to sew
So she made a matching tux
And gown from Duck Blind Mossy Oak
We took pictures in the backyard
Before we went to the dance
And the only thing that you can see
Is our faces and our hands
Camouflage, camouflage
You should've seen the way it popped with her corsage
Camouflage, camouflage
Ain't nothing doesn't go with camouflage
You can blend in in the country
You can stand out in the fashion world
Be invisible to a whitetail
Irresistible to a redneck girl
Camouflage, camouflage
Oh, you're my favorite color, camouflage
You can blend in in the country
You can stand out in the fashion world
Be invisible to a whitetail
Irresistible to a redneck girl
Well, the stars and bars offend some folks
And I guess I see why
But nowadays there's still a way
To show your Southern pride
The only thing as patriotic
As the old red, white and blue
It's green and gray and black
And brown and tan all rolled into
Camouflage, camouflage
Designed by Mother Nature and by God
It's camouflage, camouflage
Featuring: Little Jimmy Dickens, Kung Pao Buckaroos
I said a bad word when I was a kid
Mama said, that I'd be sorry for the sin that I did
My daddy whooped me and the preacher said shame
And I tried like hell to change
But I cuss, I smoke, I laugh at dirty jokes, the minor vices
Man, I know 'em well, I've closed down bars, I've lusted in my heart
My ex's think I oughta burn in hell, but the devil he won't notice when I die And don't you figure, he's got bigger fish to fry, oh, yeah
Politicians taking pork barrel bribes
Crooked CEO's are getting off with no time
Christmas Eve burglars stealing good children's toys
(Can't say Christmas)
Holiday burglars stealing good children's toys
I cuss, I smoke, I laugh at dirty jokes, the minor vices
Man, I know 'em well, I've closed down bars, I've lusted in my heart
My ex thinks I oughta burn in hell, but the devil won't notice when I die Yeah, don't you figure, he's got bigger fish to fry
Yeah, there's gonna be bonfire burning
An everlasting barbecue
But with all the bad stuff going on
There ain't gonna be room for me and you
'Cause we cuss, we smoke, we laugh at Tater's jokes
Tell one Jim, you know you're old when your wife says
"Honey, let's run upstairs and make love
And your answer is, "I cannot do both"
The minor voices, man, we know 'em well
We've closed down bars, we've lusted in our hearts
Our ex's think we oughta burn in hell
But the devil, he won't notice when we die
Hey, don't you figure, he's got bigger fish to fry
Yeah, don't you figure he's got bigger fish to fry
Pass the tartar sauce
That sleepy little campfire, popped and kinda crackled
We were heating up the pork and beans
And Bubba said, "Man it don't get any better than this
If you know what I mean"
We sat there for a minute, listening to the crickets
Thinking this was pretty hard to beat
Till Junior stood up, spit in the fire and said
"Boy's, I hate to disagree"
But if a bus load of women, really good looking women
Just suddenly pulled in here and ol' Joe T. Garcia showed up
With fajitas and a hundred gallon keg of beer
And Haggard dropped by and brought Willie with him
And they started taking requests
Now don't get me wrong boys
This is pretty good
But it could get better than this
If Bill Dance and Hank Parker floated by in a boat
And volunteered to be our fishing guides
And Richard Petty pulled up in the old 43 car
And asked us if we wanted a ride
We'd all sit around, singing, "Poncho and Lefty"
Playing poker, smoking big cigars
Now don't take offense ya'll, I'm perfectly content
Just sitting here under the stars
But if a bus load of women, really good looking women
Just suddenly pulled in here and ol' Emeril Lagasse showed up
With Kielbasa and a hundred gallon keg of beer
And Haggard dropped by and brought Willie with him
And they started taking requests
Now, don't get me wrong boys
This is pretty good
But it could get better than this
But if a bus load of women, really good looking women
Just suddenly pulled in here and Little Jimmy Dickens showed up
With fried chicken and a hundred gallon keg of beer
Merle Haggard dropped by and brought Willie with him
And they started taking requests
Now don't get me wrong boys
This is pretty good
But it could get better than this
Yeah, don't get me wrong boys
This is pretty good
When you're feeling lonely, lost and let down
Seems like those dark skies are following you around
And life's just one big shade of gray
You wonder if you'll see the light of day
Behind the clouds, the sun is shining
Believe me even though you can't quite make it out
You may not see the silver lining
But there's a big blue sky waiting right behind the clouds
I've heard it said that this too shall pass
Good times or bad times, neither one lasts
But thinking that your luck won't ever change
Is like thinking it won't ever stop once it starts to rain
Behind the clouds, the sun is shining
Believe me even though you can't quite make it out
You may not see the silver lining
But there's a big blue sky waiting right behind the clouds
(Whoa oh oh oh)
(Whoa oh oh oh)
She's got Brazilian leather boots on the pedal of her German car
Listenin' to the Beatles singin' "Back in the USSR"
Yeah, she's goin' around the world tonight, but she ain't leavin' here
She's just goin' to meet her boyfriend down at the street fair
And it's a French kiss, Italian ice
Spanish moss in the moonlight
(Whoa oh oh oh)
Just another American Saturday night
There's a big toga party tonight down at Delta Chi
They got Canadian bacon on their pizza pie
They got a cooler full of cold Coronas and Amstel Light
It's like we're all livin' in a big ol' cup
Just fire up the blender, mix it all up
It's a French kiss, Italian ice
Margaritas in the moonlight
(Whoa oh oh oh)
Just another American Saturday night
You know everywhere has somethin' they're known for
Although usually it washes up on our shores
My great-great-great-granddaddy stepped off of that ship
I bet he never ever dreamed we'd have all this
You know everywhere has somethin' they're known for
Although usually it washes up on our shores
Little Italy and Chinatown sittin' there side by side
Live from New York
(It's Saturday Night!)
It's a French kiss, Italian ice
Spanish moss in the moonlight
(Whoa oh oh oh)
Just another American, I'm just another American
And it's just another American Saturday night
My buddy Blake was All-State
With dreams of the NFL
Jenny McClain had big brains
She got a scholarship to Yale
Then there was Herschel
Who did two commercials
And he was gonna be a movie star
But all I wanted was a car
All I wanted was a car
Had a part time job making chicken for Bob's
At the food court at the mall
I hauled my uncle's trash, I cut my neighbor's grass
And I raked the leaves in the fall
My parents, they were stunned
How this former lazy bum
Suddenly was workin' so hard
But all I wanted was a car
All I wanted was a car
Yeah, when I was sixteen
All my dreams revolved around one thing
All I wanted was a car
All I wanted was a car
When I finally got that big hunk of steel
Those four wheels underneath
I went everywhere in it, broke the speed limit
And I even broke in the backseat
Now when I look outside
Sittin' in the drive, it blows my mind to see
An SUV and a Sedan and two kids playing
And I can't believe that they all belong to me
When I caught their momma's eye
In that old thing I used to drive
Never dreamed it would take me this far
All I wanted was a car
When I was sixteen
All my dreams revolved around one thing
All I wanted was a car
All I wanted was a car
All I wanted was a car
All I wanted was a car
I like kickin' back on the sofa
Flippin' through the channels just to see what's on
I enjoy eatin' eggs over easy
Soppin' up with a biscuit 'til the yellow's gone
Ain't nothin' like watchin' a bunch of young'ns
Run screamin' through the sprinkler in their little bare feet
And ain't nothin' like finding twenty dollars
In the pocket of the britches that you wore last week
I get into getting out on my mower
In the early mornin' hours 'fore the sun gets hot
And I like goin' down to the Kroger
When the carnival comes to the parkin' lot
Ain't nothin' like throwing a hula popper
Draggin' it across a spot a big 'un oughta be
And ain't nothin' like having him for supper
With some good hush puppies and some sweet iced tea
This old world is full of simple pleasures
They're all good but some are better
Ain't nothin' like finding that woman
That you know you're gonna love for the rest of your life
And ain't nothin' like knowing the Lord's a comin'
