There she was;
Laughin', talkin', window shoppin' with a new guy.
And I'd heard about him.
I heard she found him right around when we said good-bye.
And I came real close and almost lost my temper.
But I bit my tongue, kept my cool, 'cause I remembered...
I don't care.
She don't matter.
I don't love her anymore, he can have her!
I don't know why it slips my mind,
I tell myself all the time;
Guess I forgot again for a second there;
That I don't care.
Almost 10:00.
I should've known his car would still be parked in her drive.
Almost pulled in;
Knocked on her door and gave her a piece of my mind.
Oh, but I just kept on driving back to my place;
Wonderin' why I went so far out of my way when...
I don't care.
She don't matter.
I don't love her anymore, he can have her!
I don't know why it slips my mind,
I tell myself all the time;
Guess I forgot again for a second there;
That I don't care.
When I got home, the light was blinkin' on that old machine.
She said, "My brother's been in town, but he just left.
And, I miss you! Give me a ring."
I still care!
She's all that matters!
I still love her just like always, gotta have her.
I never got her off my mind, been hopin' she would call sometime.
I know it's late, to be drivin' over there, but I don't care!
Girl when I look at you
You look through me
Like I'm not even there
I try not to give up, to be strong but
I'm afraid to say I'm scared
I can't find the place
Your heart is hiding
I'm no quitter but I'm tired of fighting
Baby I love you
Don't want to lose you
Don't make me let you go
Took such a long time
For me to find you
Don't make me let you go
Baby I'm begging please
And I'm down here on my knees
I don't want to have to set you free
Don't make me
What if when I'm long gone
It dawns on you
You just might want me back
Let me make myself clear
If I leave here
It's done; I'm gone, that's that
You carry my love around
Like it's a heavy burden
Well I'm about to take it back
Are you sure it's worth it
Baby I love you
Don't want to lose you
Don't make me let you go
Took such a long time
For me to find you
Don't make me let you go
Baby I'm begging please
And I'm down here on my knees
I don't want to have to set you free
Don't make me
Don't make me
(Don't make me)
Baby I'm begging please
And I'm down here on my knees
I don't want to have to set you free
Don't make me
Baby I love you
Don't want to lose you
Don't make me let you go
Don't make me
Stop loving you
(Don't make me)
This old Buick's like a needle on a compass
Pointed due west
I remember her smile like June sunflowers
And the look of her body as she slipped out of that dress
God, I'm such a mess
Never a mornin' person, but that girl's still in bed
The sheets are tanglin' - her little arm is danglin'
The last dream from her pretty head
I told her I was leavin'
She didn't believe the words I said
I ain't ever goin'
I ain't ever goin'
I ain't ever goin'
Back there, again
She'll put on her makeup and drink from her tea cup
Glance at that silver frame
See, I took our picture and then it'll hit her
She'll cry out with pain
Maybe, whisper my name
No one's gonna make me
Nothing's gonna take me
I ain't ever goin'
Back there, again
Now, don't blame her mama - for makin' me promise
Don't come around here, no more
She said, "maybe your life's gone to hell
But, that's a tour of duty she didn't sign up for"
When you can't save yourself, you save somebody else
Maybe that's how you survive
I'm runnin' away so she don't have to see
A life in slow-motion suicide
You throw in the towl - they call you a coward
Tell ya - fight, don't cut and run
I ain't no hero, but the truth is I know
It's the bravest thing I've ever done
The hardest part is knowing what we could have
Shoud have become
I ain't ever goin'
I ain't ever goin'
I ain't ever goin'
No one's gonna make me
Nothing's gonna take me
I ain't ever goin'
Goin'
Mr. Bourbon and Coke laughs
At all of my jokes when he's drinking
Mr. Martini stares and he
Never shares what he's thinking.
Miss Sexy Red Wine tells me at closing time
That she'll phone me
Mr. Whiskey Shot Glass watches hookers
Walk past when he's lonely.
I'm a bartender
I pour the drinkers
Laugh with the sinners
And cry with the saints
And even if they don't remember
I try to make their bar tender.
Mr. Never Does Tip says
That none of his kids ever call home
Mrs. Chews On Her Lip tells someone
She's at work on her cell phone.
Mrs. Husband Just Died always
Breaks down and cries on the weekends
Just another long night in a
Bartender's life with some good friends.
I'm a bartender
I pour the drinkers
Laugh with the sinners
And cry with the saints
And even if they don't remember
I try to make their bar tender.
And even if they don't remember
Little by little, now babe
I've come a long, long way
Picking up the pieces
That you threw away
Did you give it up
Did I let you down
Either way, it doesn't matter
Cause I'm finally comin' 'round
I hope you find where you belong
Hello - goodbye
Life goes on
In another town, in a little place
Looking in the eyes of a pretty face
I ain't no fool
I know what she's thinkin'
I can hold her in my arms
But, I could never let her stay
Cause, love
Your sweet love
Still gets in the way
Minute by minute
I hear the voice in my heart
And make a new start
So, I think a little less
I drink a little more
Cause, all in all she's everything
That I've been waiting for
She smiles that smile
I face the fact
Love's a give and take thing
It's your life - you say you need a change
Don't all the dreams we've seen come true mean anything
You say it's different now and you keep staring at the door
How can you walk away don't I matter anymore
If being free's worth what you leave behind
And if it's too late for love to change your mind
Then it's goodbye time
If we had known our love would come to this
We could have saved our hearts the hurt of wasted years
Well it's been fun - what else can I say
If the feeling's gone words won't stop you anyway
If being free's worth what you leave behind
And if it's too late for love to change your mind
Baby baby baby
He's got you cryin' again
Baby baby baby
He's got you cryin' again
He's a Good Old Boy but he's a Bad Old Boyfriend.
I know that he loves you
Looks like he'd show it now and then
I know that he loves you
Looks like he'd show it now and then
He's a Good Old Boy but he's a Bad Old Boyfriend.
He kicks off his shoes throws down this coat
Opens a beer grabs the remote
Your never heard your seldom seen
A joker don't deserve a queen
Baby baby baby
Why don't you just get rid of him (Tell him to go)
He's a Good Old Boy but he's a Bad Old Boyfriend. (That's right)
He makes you cry I'll make you laugh
He rubs you wrong I'll rub your back
Your never heard your seldom seen
A joker don't deserve a queen
Baby baby baby
Why don't you just get rid of him (Bye Bubba)
He's a Good Old Boy but he's a Bad Old Boyfriend.
He's a Good Old Boy but he's a Bad Old Boyfriend.
Funny thing about dreamers
When the dream is in their sights
Just to get where they're goin'
They leave a lot of good things behind
Guess you could call me a dreamer
And I've seen it all come true
So I smile when I need to look happy
And do all the things they tell me to
Yeah I'm a big self-made man
And a fool who can't understand
I thought I needed fortune
I thought I needed fame
But all I need is to hear you
Whisper my name
If I could only make the future
An extension of my past
I'd take these broken memories
And make those moments last
Now that my ship has come
I wonder what have I done
I thought I needed fortune
I thought I needed fame
But all I need is to hear you
Whisper my name
I thought I needed fortune
I thought I needed fame
But all I need is to hear you
Whisper my name
If time has no end and if time has no end
A billion years a trillion years what then is infinity
A cirlce an enternal loop
It can drive you crazy searching for the truth
Someday will we know all about it
Have no reason to doubt it
Someday
Before we were babies
There's nothing we recall and when we go back
Will it fade to black and that's all
Or could we be destined for some other time and place
And have we lived other lives our memories have erased
Someday will we know all about it
Have no reason to doubt it
Someday
Will we see Jesus comin as the sunshine fills the night
Or when we die will we fly into the light
Will we all be reunited with the ones who've gone away
And will we love each other the way we do today I believe
Someday we'll know all about it
Have no reason to doubt it
There's a house that's a little run down
This city ain't never found
It's miles and miles from a paved road
That's where we grew up
Seven children raised on love
When life gets hard that's where we go
Daddy don't know a stranger
A handshake and he's your friend
Oh and Mama she's an angel
She'll hold you tight till the heartache ends
Just a place made of nails and wood
But it's the love that makes you feel so good
That's what I call
That's what I call home
Daddy built it with his own two hands
Overlooking his grandpa's land
Now through the years a lot has changed
But driving up this gravel road
I get that feeling in my soul
I thank God some things still remain
Once I get myself through that old screen door
The world can't touch me anymore
That's what I call home
Yeah!
I hit the ground runnin' with the mornin' sun.
When a job needs doin', I get it done.
I show up early an' I go home late.
Everybody knows I pull my weight.
'Cause I don't mind doin',
A little heavy liftin'.
I'm always givin',
My everything.
Even when I'm hurtin',
I keep on workin'.
And as long as I'm still alive an' kickin',
I'll be stickin' to the heavy liftin'.
Well, baby, I hurt, he done me wrong.
The goin' got tough an' got gone.
Well, he ain't here an' I ain't him.
An' even if the walls come fallin' in.
You know I don't mind doin',
A little heavy liftin'.
I'm always givin',
My everything.
Even when I'm hurtin',
I keep on workin'.
And as long as I'm still alive an' kickin',
I'll be stickin' to the heavy liftin'.
Yeah.
Baby, when your heart is achin',
Lean on me, my back ain't breakin'.
All I'm sayin' is:
I don't mind doin',
A little heavy liftin'.
I'm always givin',
My everything.
Even when I'm hurtin',
I keep on workin'.
And as long as I'm still alive an' kickin',
I'll be stickin' to the heavy liftin'.
Honey, I ain't quittin',
I'm always givin',
My everything.
Yeah.
As long as I'm still alive an' kickin',
I'll be stickin' to the heavy liftin'.
Mason jars on the dresser
Filled with quarters and dollars savin em for our trip around the world
But now you've changed your tune
There'll be no honeymoon
So I'm going there without you girl
I'm going down to Mexico in a glass of tequila
Going down to Purto Rico in a bottle of rum
Going to Honolulu in a mai tai mug
Then I'm coming back home to
Georgia in a jug.
We'll never ride that bus to Mexico City
It's a pity we'll never sail our ship into Waikiki and
We'll never share that brick suburban home
Today I'm taking that money out of the jar
Tonight I'll buy my ticket down at the corner bar
I'm going down to Mexico in a glass of tequila
Going down to Purto Rico in a bottle of rum
Going to Honolulu in a mai tai mug
Then I'm coming back home to
Fires are burning up the forests
Down along the Amazon
There's children starving in Guatemala
They're just barely hanging on
And I pray they'll find the answer
That there's a way to right the wrong
And Lord while you're listening
Could I mention some troubles of my own
I got problems right here at home
A teenage boy in Mississippi
Brings his daddy's gun to school
A little girl in New York City
Buys cocaine for Mama to use
My wife is crying; Our baby's fighting
A battle that she may not win
The doctor's doing all that he can
God now it's all in your hands
And I pray they'll find the answer
That there's a way to right the wrong
Now I'm just one man, a grain of sand
In a troubled world I know
But I've got a problem right here at home
If I was a cloud, I'd make baby raindrops
And they'd feed the treetops
If I was a cloud
If I was the sun, I'd shine on the flowers
And pass on the power
If I was the sun
If I was the moon, I'd caress every ocean
In celestial motion
If I was the moon
If I was a star, charmed and enchanted
All wishes would be granted
If I was a star
If I was your man, the kisses would linger
I'd melt in your fingers
If I was your man
If I was your man, we'd share every shower
And wash away the hours baby
If I was your man
If I was a song, I'd reach all the people
From barrooms to steeples
If I was a song
If I was a dream, I'd be sweeter than honey
I'd be bigger than money
If I was a dream
If I was your man, we'd dance through the daisies
They'd say we were crazy girl
If I was your man
If I was your man, I'd pump you with this passion
You'd get more than fashion baby
If I-I-I-I-I was your man
you would not have to hurry
I'd rub away your worries girl
If I was your man
If I was your man, then we'd be together
Now and forever baby
If I was your man
And if we were love, we'd heal every nation
We'd be on everybody's station
If we were love
If I was your man, sweet lovin' man
If I was your man
There was a time
I really used to care about what others thought
And the way they talk
In a crowd
I used to pull away when she would kiss my face
And touch my hair
She didn't care who saw
She was all over me
And I used to let it get all over me
And now to prove that I love her
I'd crawl on my knees for the whole world to see
Now that she's all over me
The sky is blue
But from where I stand in the middle of this heartache
It sure looks gray
All alone
What I wouldn't give if I could feel
You always get dolled up for your party
Good thing your birthday only comes once a year
'Cause you always forget that you're so small
You can't take all that alcohol
And you wind up over my shoulder and into the car
But you'll always be beautiful
You'll always be beautiful
To me
I don't care if your hair's a mess from the night before
Your headaches and your fussin' and cussin' the sun
The makeup you had on your face
Is now all over your pillow case
And you're curled up under the covers into a ball
But you'll always be beautiful
You'll always be beautiful
To me
So baby don't you ever doubt
When father time starts drawing out
Those lines around your eyes
'Cause you'll always be
You'll always be
Beautiful
You'll always be beautiful
My oh my, you're so good-looking
Hold yourself together like a pair of bookends
But I've not tasted all your cooking
Who are you when I'm not looking?
Do you pour a little something on the rocks?
Slide down the hallway in your socks?
When you undress, do you leave a path?
Then sink to your nose in a bubble bath?
My oh my, you're so good-looking
Hold yourself together like a pair of bookends
But I've not tasted all your cooking
Who are you when I'm not looking?
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
Do you break things when you get mad?
Eat a box of chocolates 'cause you're feelin' bad?
Do you paint your toes 'cause you bite your nails?
Call up momma when all else fails?
Who are you when I'm not around?
When the door is locked and the shades are down?
Do you listen to your music quietly?
And when it feels just right, are you thinkin' of me?
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
My oh my, you're so good-looking
Tommy's daddy, kept a six pack in the fridge
We thought we were old enough,
To do what Daddy's did.
It didn't take us long to go
From drunk to really sick.
When I walked in my house,
I stumbled just a bit.
You play it cool,
But it's no use,
Dad ain't no fool,
And that's the truth.
Chewing gum won't cover,
Up that smell.
You can't hide one single thought,
If you try, you'll just get caught.
When somebody knows you that well.
We lost Daddy,
In nineteen ninety-nine.
I took care of everybody's pain,
Except for mine.
And then one night,
My wife took my face in her hands.
She said, "I think it's time you cry
for your old man."
You play it cool,
But it's no use.
She ain't no fool,
And that's the truth.
And my teardrops finally fell.
You can't hide one single thought,
If you try, you'll just get caught.
When somebody knows you that well.
I could probably do more,
To help my fellow man.
But life gets busy,
And I hope God understands.
Someday, when I get time,
I'll do more than my share.
Funny how I'm thinkin' this,
Sittin' in my easy chair.
You play it cool,
But it's no use.
God ain't no fool,
And that's the truth.
And he won't let you fool yourself.
You can't hide one single thought,
If you try, you'll just get caught.
When somebody knows you that well...
I can't have this conversation
Without lots of reservations on the line
If there's a way to slip around it
Then I'm bound to get around it one more time
Honey you are so persuasive
But it makes me more evasive when you pry
You can label me elusive
But the facts are inconclusive at this time
'Cause you can't handle what's on my mind
I've got roses growing over what you'd find
But keep on asking if you're inclined
'Cause you can't handle what's on my mind
I don't mean to drive you crazy
Comin' off all vague and hazy just because
I don't have an answer for you
I just wouldn't want to bore you if it does
But keep on asking if you're inclined
But, you can't handle what's on my mind
He was sittin' at the bar, sippin' on a regular Coke
We were drinkin' and smokin' and makin' him the butt of our jokes
We all said, "Man, what happened to you? Why can't you just have a few?"
He said, "I would if I could, but it's probably best that I don't."
Cause the more I drink, the more I drink
Yeah, I'm the world's greatest lover and a dancin' machine
I get loud, I get proud....and it gets worse
Well if I have one, I'll have thirteen
Naw, there ain't no in-between
Cause, the more I drink, the more I drink.
A couple of cold ones, and somebody hands me a shot.
Hell, even buck-tooth and bow-legged women start lookin' hot
And pretty soon I'm bummin' cigarettes and sweet talkin' some big brunette
Yeah, once I get on a roll, ain't no tellin' where I'll stop
Yep-yep
Humm, that's what I'm talking about
Man, if I have one, I'll have thirteen
And they can't get me off the kareoke machine,
The more I drink...the more I drink.
There a roadhouse just outside of town on a two-lane blacktop
Where all the folks come to hear country music play
And every year the city's gettin' closer, Lord knows it won't stop
And old Hank the bartender gave us the bad news today, yeah he said
This land was our land but Lord now it's their land
And we're still here, but not for long
So let's raise a cold one and play all the old ones
'Til we've sung the last country song
There's 300 acres of cotton corn and a little bit of gravel
All bought up by a builder from downtown
Tomorrow when the earth starts a-shakin and the walls start to rattle
A big bulldozer's gonna take Hank's roadhouse down, so everybody sing
Will we play "Swingin'" or "He Stopped Loving Her Today"
It's really sad to see it end this way
'Til we've sung the last country song
Oh we've sung the last country song
My brother said that I
was rotten to the core.
I was the youngest child,
so I got by with more.
I guess she was tired by
the time I came along.
She'd laugh until she cried,
I could do no wrong.
She would always save me,
because I was her baby.
I worked a factory in Ohio,
a shrimp boat in the Bayou,
I drove a truck in Birmingham.
Turned 21 in Cincinnati,
I called home to mom and daddy,
I said "Your boy is now a man."
She said "I don't care if you're 80,
you'll always be my baby."
She loved that photograph,
of our whole family.
She'd always point us out,
for all her friends to see.
That's Greg he's doing great,
he really loves his job.
And Ronnie with his 2 kids,
how 'bout that wife he's got.
And that one's kinda crazy,
but that one is my baby.
I got a call in Alabama,
said come on home to Louisianna
and come as fast as you can fly.
Cause your momma really needs you,
and says she's got to see you,
she might not make it through the night.
The whole way I drove 80
so she could see her baby.
She looked like she was sleepin'
and my family had been weepin'
by the time that I got to her side.
And I knew that she'd been taken,
and my heart it was breakin',
I never got to say goodbye.
I softly kissed that lady
Driving down the interstate, running thirty minutes late
Singing Margarita ville and minding my own
Some foreign car driving dude with the road rage attitude
Pulled up beside me talking on his cell phone
He started yelling at me like I did something wrong
He flipped me the bird an' then he was gone
Some beach, somewhere
There's a big umbrella casting shade over an empty chair
Palm trees are growing and a warm breeze is blowing
I picture myself right there on some beach, somewhere
I circled the parking lot trying to find a spot
Just big enough I could park my old truck
A man with a big cigar was getting into his car
I stopped and I waited for him to back up
but from out of no where a Mercedes Benz
Came cruising up and whipped right in
Some beach, somewhere
There's no where to go when you got all day to get there
There's cold margaritas and hot senoritas
Smiling with long dark hair on some beach, somewhere
I sat in that waiting room, it seemed like all afternoon
The nurse finally said, "Doc's ready for you"
You're not gonna feel a thing, we'll give you some Novocain
That tooth will be fine in a minute or two
But he stuck that needle down deep in my gum
And he started drilling before I was numb
Some beach, somewhere
There's a beautiful sunset burning up that atmosphere
There's music and dancing and lovers romancing
In the salty evening air on some beach, somewhere
Red roadside wild flower if I'd only picked you
Took you home set you on the counter
Oh, at least a time or two
Maybe she'd thought it through.
Yellow sunset slowly dipping down in the rear view
Oh, how she'd love to sit and watch you
I could have done that a whole lot more
If I hadn't been so stubborn, been so selfish
Thought about her more, thought about me less
Joked and maked her laugh, held her when she cried
A little more that.. maybe I...
Wouldn't be driving like hell flying like crazy down the highway
Calling everyone we know stopping any place she might be
Going any place she might go beating on the dash
Screaming out her name at the windshield tears soaking up my face
If I had loved her this much all along, maybe maybe, yeaa maybe...
She wouldn't be gone.. she wouldn't be gone..
She warned me it was coming said if I didn't change
She was leaving
I just didn't believe she would ever really walk out,
God, I believe her now
Called her mamma, cried like a baby to her best friend
If they've seen her, they ain't sayin, they ain't sayin...
Now, I'm cursing like a fool, praying it ain't too late
All I wanna do is fix my mistakes.
Find her beg her for one more try, until then damn it I"ll..
Be driving like hell flying like crazy down the highway
Calling everyone we know stopping any place she might be
Going any place she might go beating on the dash
Screaming out her name at the windshield tears soaking up my face
If I had loved her this much all along, maybe maybe, yeaa maybe...
She wouldn't be gone..
I wouldn't be beating on the dash
Screaming out her name at the windshield tears soaking up my face
If I had loved her this much all along, maybe maybe, yeaa maybe...
She wouldn't be gone..
Red roadside wild flower if I'd only picked you
Took you home set you on the counter, oh at least a time or two
Now I love country music
And I guess I always will
But these days, when I turn on the radio
It's just not the same thrill
I like a song that gives me chillbumps
Now and then there's some that still do
But I'm fed up with the same old vanilla
Hey how about you
I'm tired of the same old guy
With the same old song
About the same old love
It goes on and on and on
Same old guitar
And the same old strum
I may be country but I'm not dumb
Hey there Mr. Songwriter
Come and visit in my home
Then tell me about life being perfect
And love that goes on and on and on
Then ride with me in my old Bronco
Down to the factory for eight hours
Then let me introduce you to my supervisor
Then write me a song about sunshine and flowers
and the same old guy
With the same old song
About the same old love
It goes on and on
Same old guitar
And the same old strum
I may be country but I'm not dumb
I want to hear a song about passion
I want to hear a song about sin
I want to hear a song about redemption
Yeah, sing me one of them
Tell me about a cowboy in Australia
Tell me about a prisoner in China
Tell me about some old stock car driver
Down in Orangeburg, South Carolina
Instead of..
the same old guy
With the same old song
About the same old love
It goes on and on and on
Same old guitar
And the same old strum
I may be country but I'm not dumb
Same old
Same old
On the Oklahoma shore of that old red river
I stand right here and curse my pride.
That river runs deep
The current is strong
And the woman I love is on the other side.
How did the love we made together
Break apart and drift away
Leave me lost and lonely
On this crimson bank
Red River Blue
God pull me through
I'd walk through fire if that bridge hadn't burned in two
Texas summer sky
Tears in my eyes
She said goodbye and now I'm red river blue
They say everything is bigger
Under that Texas moon
I'll bet my right hand you wont find a bigger fool
She's probably smiling somewhere tonight
In someone elses arms
I'm here dragging the muddy bottom
For pieces of my heart
Red River Blue
God pull me through
I'd walk through fire if that bridge hadn't burned in two
Texas summer sky
Tears in my eyes
She said goodbye and now I'm red river blue
Girl I've been at work all work
Fingers to the bone I need
A little hit of you and me
A little time alone
All day I've been thinking about
Quiting early skipping out
Hollin' ass to hit the couch
And hang with you at home
We got some laid back country tunes on the radio
We gunna burn all afternoon like it's something to smoke
We gotta whole lot of nothing to do and no where to go
So baby I don't know about you but I'm ready to roll
Let others fool go paint the town
We'll just hold this sofa down
Till monday morning rolls around
I'll tell you what lets do
You go grab those tater chips
I'll whip up some party dip
And well kick back and take a trip
Sip a beer or two
We got some laid back country tunes on the radio
We gunna burn all afternoon like it's something to smoke
We gotta whole lot of nothing to do and no where to go
So baby I don't know about you but I'm ready to roll
Yeah we got some laid back country tunes on the radio
We gunna burn all afternoon like it's something to smoke
We gotta whole lot of nothing to do and no where to go
So baby I don't know about you but I'm ready to roll
Yeah I'm ready to roll
This is a song
About best friends
John Roy
Was a boy I knew
Since he was three
And I was two
Grew up two little houses
Down from me
The only two bad apples
On our family tree
Kind of ripened and rotted
In our puberty
Two kindred spirits bound by destiny
Well now I was smart
But I lacked ambition
Johnny was wild
With no inhibition
Was about like mixin
Fire and gasoline
(And he'd say)
Hey Romeo
Let's go down to Mexico
Chase senoritas
Drink ourselves silly
Show them Mexican girls
A couple of real hillbillies
Got a pocket full of cash
And that old Ford truck
A fuzzy cat hangin
From the mirror for luck
Said don't you know
All those little
Brown-eyed girls
Want playboys of the southwestern world
Long around
Our eighteenth year
We found two plane tickets
The hell out of here
Got scholarships
To some small town
School in Texas
Learned to drink Sangria
Til the dawns early light
Eat eggs Ranchero
And throw up all night
And tell those daddy's girls
We were majoring in a rodeo
Ah but my
Favorite memory
At school that fall
Was the night John Roy
Came runnin down the hall
Wearin nothin
But cowboy boots
And a big sombrero
(And he was yellin)
Hey Romeo
Let's go down to Mexico
Chase senoritas
Drink ourselves silly
Show them Mexican girls
A couple of real hillbillies
Got a pocket full of cash
And that old Ford truck
A fuzzy cat hangin
From the mirror for luck
Said don't you know
All those little
Brown-eyed girls
Want playboys of the southwestern world
And I said
We had a little
Change in plans
Like when Paul McCartney
Got busted in Japan
And I said
We got waylaid
When we laid foot
On Mexican soil
See the boarder guard
With the Fu Manchu mustache
Kind of stumbled on John's
Pocket full of American cash
He said
Doin a little funny business
In Mexico Amigo
But all I could think about
Was savin my own tail
When he mentioned ten years
In a Mexican jail
So I pointed to John Roy and said
It's all his now please let me go
Well it was your idea genius
I was just layin there in bed
When you said
Hey Romeo
Let's go down to Mexico
Chase senoritas
Drink ourselves silly
Show them Mexican girls
A couple of real hillbillies
Got a pocket full of cash
And that old Ford truck
A fuzzy cat hangin
From the mirror for luck
Said don't you know
All those little
Brown-eyed girls
Want playboys of the southwestern world
Ah we're still best friends
Well I caught my wife with another man
And it cost me ninety nine
On a prison farm in Georgia
Close to the Florida line
Well I'd been here for two long years
I finally made the warden my friend
And so he sentenced me to a life of ease
Taking care of Ol' Red
Now Ol' Red he's the damnedest dog that I've ever seen
Got a nose that can smell a two day trail
He's a four legged tracking machine
You can consider yourself mighty lucky
To get past the gators and the quicksand beds
But all these years that I've been here
Ain't nobody got past Red
And the warden sang
Come on somebody
Why don't you run
Ol' Red's itchin' to have a little fun
Get my lantern
Get my gun
Red'll have you treed before the mornin' comes
Well I paid off the guard and I slipped out a letter
To my cousin up in Tennessee
Oh and he brought down a blue tick hound
She was pretty as she could be
Well they penned her up in the swampland
'Bout a mile just south of the gate
And I'd take Ol' Red for his evening run
I'd just drop him off and wait
And the warden sang
Come on somebody
Why don't you run
Ol' Red's itchin' to have a little fun
Get my lantern
Get my gun
Red'll have you treed before the mornin' comes
Now Ol' Red got real used to seeing
His lady every night
And so I kept him away for three or four days
And waited till the time got right
Well I made my run with the evenin' sun
And I smiled when I heard 'em let Red out
'Cause I was headed north to Tennessee
And Ol' Red was headed south
And the warden sang
Come on somebody
Why don't you run
Ol' Red's itchin' to have a little fun
Get my lantern
Get my gun
Red'll have you treed before the mornin' comes
Now there's red haired blue ticks all in the South
Don't waste your time
Looking over your shoulder
Those loves from the past
Ain't a gettin' no closer
When I look at my future
You're all I can see
So honey, don't go loving on
Nobody but me
Nobody but me
Gonna love you like you ought to be loved on
Nobody but me
Gonna cry if you up and leave
Now you can do what you want to
But I'm asking pretty please
Honey don't go loving on
Nobody but me
I took my time
To tell you how I feel
Just because I took so long
Don't mean that it isn't real
Now I ain't got no diamond
But I'm down on my knees
So honey don't go loving on
Nobody but me
Nobody but me
Gonna love you like you ought to be loved on
Nobody but me
Gonna cry if you up and leave
Now you can do what you want to
But I'm asking pretty please
Honey don't go loving on
Nobody but me
Nobody but me
Gonna love you like you ought to be loved on
Nobody but me
Gonna cry if you up and leave
Now you can do what you want to
But I'm asking pretty please
Honey don't go loving on
Nobody but me
Don't go loving on
Grandpa's down
By the two lane
In the blazing sun
Or pouring rain
Sells tomatoes
From the back
Of his pickup truck
Reads the Bible line for line
While sipping on
Some homeade wine
That's who he is
And what he does
He's just like us
My Dad's got
A crippled hand
A casualty of Vietnam
But he's still down
At the sawmill every day
Oh and first thing
'Fore the break of dawn
Mama's got his eggs
And coffee on
My whole life
It's been that way
We come from
Back in the hollers
We got sweat
On our blue collars
The living's hard
But the living's good
You see God sent
The heavens down
And hung 'em 'round
My neck of the woods
Just as sure as the river flows
We take care of our own
Step right up when someone needs a friend
Last year on the Johnson farm
A fire wiped out the house and barn
The whole town showed up
To build 'em back again, all right
We come from
Back in the hollers
We got sweat
On our blue collars
The living's hard
But the living's good
You see God sent
The heavens down
And hung 'em 'round
My neck of the woods
We come from
Back in the hollers
We got sweat
On our blue collars
The living's hard
But the living's good
You see God sent
The heavens down
And hung 'em 'round
Tearin' down a dirt road, rebel flag flyin', coon dog in the back
Truck bed loaded down with beer and a cold one in my lap
Earnhart sticker behind my head and my woman by my side
Tail-pipe's poppin', the radio's rockin', "Country boy can survive"
If you got a problem with that, ha, ha, you can kiss my country ass
Well, I love Turkey calls, overalls, Wrangler jeans
Smoke nothin' but Marlboro reds
Tattoos up and down my arms
And deer heads over my bed
My Granddaddy fought in World War Two
But my Daddy went to Vietnam
And I ain't scared to grab my gun
And fight for my homeland
If you don't love the American flag
You can kiss my country ass
If you're a down home, backwoods Redneck
Hey come on, stand up and raise your glass
But if you ain't down with my outlaw crowd
You can kiss my country ass, aw yeah
Aw, yeah
Well, there's a whole lotta high-class people out there
That's lookin' down on me
'Cause the country club where I belong
Is a Honky Tonk till three in the mornin'
Don't wear no fancy clothes, no ties or three piece suits
You can find me in my camouflage cap
My T-shirt and cowboy boots
If that don't fit your social class
You can kiss my country ass
If you're a down home, backwoods redneck
Hey come on, stand up and raise your glass
But if you ain't down with my outlaw crowd
You can kiss my country ass
Well, I'm a front-porch sittin', guitar pickin', moonshine
Sippin' backer juice spittin' country boy from the woods
And I love fried chicken and blue gill fishin'
And outlaw women and I wouldn't change if I could, no
I ain't tryin' to start no fight but I'll finish one every time
So you just mind your own damn business
Stay the hell outta mine, if you got a problem with that
You can kiss my country ass
I said, "If you got a problem with any of that
You can kiss my natural born, Redneck to the bone
In my heaven there ain't no lawyers
Don't need names on dotted lines
Folks do business like they oughtta
A good firm handshake works just fine
We feed lawyers to the lions
In my heaven there ain't no children
Totin' loaded guns to school
Ain't no such thing as peer pressure
Being who you are is cool
They still teach that golden rule
In my heaven we hurt no one
No lying, crying, or dying young
No one's lonely, no one's scared
And anyone is welcome there
In my heaven
In my heaven I can sing like Elvis
Play guitar like B. B. King
Slide a fastball past Hank Aaron
Batter, batter, batter swing
I can do most anything
In my heaven we hurt no one
No lying, crying, or dying young
No one's lonely, no one's scared
And anyone is welcome there
In my heaven
I know that it's God's decision
What my heaven's gonna be
And I ain't telling him his business
But if he left it up to me
Then in my heaven
There's football with no referees
In my heaven
There's never been an injury
In my heaven
Angels yodel when they sing
In my heaven
The fish'll bite most anything
In my heaven
In my heaven
I knew something was the matter
It really needed my attention
And I had planned to look into it someday
But I was busy making money
I wanted you to be proud of me
Now I wish I could turn the clock back someway
I thought there was time
I never thought that you would leave me
I always thought that I could find you
Somewhere near a phone to answer when I call
Now you have my full attention
Now you're all that I can think of
This is not what I expected at all
I thought there was time
I thought there was time
Are you even on this planet
Can you see these pretty flowers
Or am I standing here just talking to the wind
How I wish that I had told you
How I wish that I had shouted
I love you I love you I love you I love you back then
I thought there was time
I thought there was time
I thought there was time
I miss the look of surrender in your eyes
The way your soft brown hair would fall
I miss the power of your kiss when we made love
Oh but baby most of all I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say
To make me laugh again and let the light back in
I miss my friend
I miss the colours that you brought into my life
Your golden smile, those blue-green eyes
I miss your gentle voice in lonely times like now
Saying it’ll be alright, I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say
To make me laugh again and let the light back in
I miss my friend
I miss those times, I miss those nights
I even miss our silly fights
The making up, the morning talks
And those late afternoon walks
I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say
To make me laugh again and let the light back in
I miss my friend
I miss my friend
I miss my friend
You told me I'd regret it
On the day I left you
I had the nerve to laugh
As I walked away
Well, its been six months
And eighteen days
Feelin' nothin' but This empty pain
And I just had to tell you
Even if there's nothin'
Left to say
I felt the burnin' on the hurtin' side
Of a love that didn't work out right
The empty longin' on a long cold night
I have been lonely
I've leaned on no one when the times got tough
When it comes to heartaches lord I've had enough
Know what it's like to live without your love
I have been lonely
I was gonna show you
That I didn't need you
Now I need to show you I was wrong
Here I am knees to the floor
I don't wanna live like this no more
I'm heartbeat in misery
Now all my pride is gone
I felt the burnin' on the hurtin' side
Of a love that didn't work out right
The empty longin' on a long cold night
I have been lonely
I've leaned on no one when the times got tough
When it comes to heartaches lord I've had enough
Know what it's like to live without your love
I have been lonely
I have been lonely
He'd get home at five-thirty
Fix a drink and sit down in his chair
Pick a fight with momma
Complain about the kids gettin' in his hair
At night he'd sit alone and smoke
I'd see his frown behind the lighters flame
Now that same frowns in my mirror
I got my daddy's blood inside my veins.
Fish swim, birds fly
Daddys' yell, mommas' cry
Old men sit and think
I Drink.
Chicken TV dinner
Six minutes on defrost three on high
Beer to wash it down then another
Some whiskey on the side
It's not so bad alone here
It don't bother me that every nights the same
I don't need another lover hangin' around
Tryin' to make me change.
Fish swim, birds fly
Lovers leave, by and by
Old men sit and think
I Drink.
I know, what I am
But I don't, give a damn.
Fish swim, birds fly
Daddys' yell, mommas' cry
Old men sit and think
I Drink.
Yea I got a friend from New York City, He's never heard of Conway Twitty, Don't know nothing bout grits and greens, never been south of Queens, but he flew down here on a business trip, I took him honky-tonking and that was it, he took to it like a pig to mud, cow to cud

Look out
People used to call me backwards, livin' out here with the tractors
Lettin' this world leave me behind
Now a days I'm an innovator, I'm a country boy prognosticator
Man, a man ahead of my times
I've got a hundred acre farm
I've got a John Deere in my barn
I've got a garden in my yard
Full of corn, peas and beans
I've got a guitar, I play unplugged
I've got a homegrown girl I love
And when the summer time hits we skinny dip in the stream
I was green before green was a thing
Sheets on the clothes line dryin', red tail hawks are flyin'
A couple of deer on the timber line
Yeah, and I know a lot more about cane pole fishin'
Then I ever will know about carbon emissions
But my little corner of the world is doin' just fine
I've got a hundred acre farm
I've got a John Deere in my barn
I've got a garden in my yard
Full of corn, peas and beans
I've got a guitar, I play unplugged
I've got a homegrown girl I love
And when the summer time hits we skinny dip in the stream
I was green before green was a thing
I've got a hundred acre farm
I've got a John Deere in my barn
I've got a garden in my yard
Full of [Incomprehensible] and greens
I've got a guitar, I play unplugged
I've got a homegrown girl I love
And when the summer time hits we skinny dip in the stream
I was green before green was a thing
[Blake Shelton - Verse 1]
I've been a walking heartache
I've made a mess of me
The person that I've been lately
Ain't who I wanna be
But you stay here right beside me
Watch as the storm goes through
And I need you
[Chorus]
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you
[Blake Shelton - Verse 2]
There's more here than what were seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel lovely
Could somehow fall for me
You'll always be love's great martyr
Ill be the flattered fool
And I need you
[Chorus]
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you
[Bridge]
On my own I'm only
Half of what I could be
I can't do without you
We are stitched together
And what love has tethered
I pray we never undo
[Chorus - Outro]
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you, gave me you
ooooh-oh-oh

deep way down in your heart
you're burning yearning for some
somebody to tell you
that life ain't passing you by

you'll get by if you'd only
cut loose, footloose

Hey girl, hey where you goin'
Come back and sit back down
You look to good to be headin' home so early now
You say you gotta work tomorrow
Got a lot on your mind
Let me buy another round girl
I think you and I should just
CHORUS:
Drink on it
Put our heads together and think on it
Maybe later on we can sleep on it
But for right now girl, we just need to drink on it
We can talk rocket science, Jesus or politics
How your boyfriend cheated on you
Man he sounds like such a prick
I could use another whiskey
And your cosmo's gettin' low
While we tryin'to figure out the next place we should go we can
CHORUS:
Drink on it
Put our heads together and think on it
Maybe later on we can sleep on it
But for right now girl, we just need to drink on it
This place is closin' down
But I don't wanna quite
Got a good thing goin' girl
Let's find out what it is and
Drink on it
Your place or mine girl, we can drink on it
Dust off a bottle and drink on it
Feels like we're doin' something right
Let's find a corner of the night
Where you and I can just
CHORUS:
Drink on it
Put our heads together and think on it
Maybe later on we can sleep on it
But for right now girl, we just need to drink on it
Might make a memory that we won't forget
Mmmm so let's just drink on it
On a Mississippi mornin'
My dad yelled out a warnin'
Son you better hit that cotton patch soon
And on my way on down the field
As I passed Old Johnson's Mill
I saw Becky Morgan, skinny dippin' nude.
Well I couldn't help but stop and stare
Hypnotized I stood right there
Enchanted by the beauty that I'd seen
Then she gave me a come here smile
Nearly drove my body wild
I fell down tryin' to kick off my jeans.
Well on that cotton pickin' mornin'
I met up with Beck Morgan
You know that day I didn't get to work on time
And in the days of my December
I know I will remember
Sowin' oats at Cotton Pickin' Time.
Well I lost my job that summer
But I guess I had it comin'
Cause that pickin' cotton just wasn't on my mind
But you don't get too much money
When you got a Tupelo honey
Keepin' you cool in the Mississippi hot sunshine.
And every cotton pickin' mornin'
I met up with Becky Morgan
The whole dang I never got to work on time
And in the days of my December
I know I will remember
Sowin' oats at Cotton Pickin' Time.
We've come along way since then
Now I own that cotton gin
And I bought that mill
Just to make her smile
And to keep our love from growin' old
We still go down there to that hole
Skinny dip and Becky is just as wild.
And every cotton pickin' mornin'
I wake up with Becky Morgan
And to this day I never got to work on time
And in the days of our December
I know we'll will remember
Sowin' oats at Cotton Pickin' Time.
We were sowin' oats at Cotton Pickin' Time
Bare Skin Rug By Blake Shelton
Blake:
Well the moon just came over the tree tops
And the whipper wheel started to sing
So I slipped down the hill
Got into the still
And drank til my ears started to ring
I followed a trail to through the hollow
To a shack back in the woods
Its my eighteenth birthday
Honey come out and play
Its time that we got to no good
Duet:
Now I aint afraind to be lonely
But I still wanna learn about love
Im a hillbilly child raised in the wild
Come lay down on my bare skin rug
Miranda:
My dress is torn up and tattered
My daddy left a long time ago
And my hair just hangs down
I never made it to town
Momma said thats where bad people go
But me and my sister been talkin'
Shes eighteen one year older than me
She laid down with a man
I want to understand what she says
I'll never believe
Duet:
Now I aint afraind to be lonely
But I still wanna learn about love
Im a hillbilly child raised in the wild
Lay me down on your bare skin rug
Blake:
Now I need a woman
Miranda:
And I need a man
Duet:
We aint got nobody
An' we aint even kin
Now I aint afraind to be lonely
But I still wanna learn about love
Im a hillbilly child raised in the wild
Lay me down on your bare skin rug
She left without leavin' 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
Three rings and an answering machine
Is what she got
If you're callin' 'bout the car I sold it
If this is Tuesday night I'm bowling
If you've got somethin' to sell
You're wastin' your time, I'm not buyin'
If it's 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 three days
And then she tried again
She didn't know what she'd say
But she heard three rings and then
If it's Friday night I'm at the ballgame
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
Then she waited by the phone on Sunday evenin'
And this is what he heard
If you're callin' 'bout my heart, it's still yours
I should've listened to it a little more
Then it wouldn't have taken me so long
To know where I belong
And by the way, boy
This is no machine you're talkin' to
Can't you tell, this is Austin
And I still love you
The sun has opened up my eyes
And I don't wanna leave your side for that lonesome road
But here I go climbing back behind the wheel
Fiffty feet of chrome and steel and a load they need in Chicago
Through the middle of the night unknown
I'm on a ride that won't let me go
I'm an asphalt cowboy, born to run underneath the stars
Pay no mind to my lonely heart
Just ride, ride until I'm back in your arms again
I'll be out here on the wind
Sometimes late at night I see your picture by the dashboard light
And it takes me where I'd like to be
Wrapped up in a blanket there pulling ribbons from your hair
And your kiss, girl, that's what I miss
Still I drive these horses through the rain and snow
This high speed rodeo is all I know
I'm an asphalt cowboy, born to run underneath the stars
Pay no mind to my lonely heart
Just ride, ride until I'm back in your arms again
I'll be out here on the wind
And I'll drive until I'm back in your arms again
I'll be out here on the wind and
And I'll ride through the middle of the night unknown
On a ride that won't let me go
Asphalt cowboy
Leave the radio on just to hear a voice other than mine
Cause I can't bear to hear the cold truth running through my mind.
Cause everything I did wrong just keeps haunting me, it won't let me be
Lying here without you, girl I'm starting to see why you gave up on me.
What I wouldn't give just to go back when you were in my life I'd do it right this time.
What I didn't do is give my whole heart to you and that's why you're gone
I know I was wrong and I'll never hold you again, cause of what I wouldn't give.
It kills me to think how much you tried to make things work.
I wouldn't listen to you, all I would do is put myself first.
I took you for granted and I pushed you away a little more each day.
Somewhere inside this hell I have seen my mistakes oh but now it's too late.
What I wouldn't give just to go back when you were in life, I'd do it right this time.
What I didn't do is give my whole heart to you and that's why you're gone
I know I was wrong and I'll never hold you again, cause of what I wouldn't give.
What I didn't do is give my whole heart to you and that's why you're gone
Shadows of the night
Moving on the ground
Like silent clouds
They follow me around
As I wander the dark
Through the midnight mist
Remembering our last kiss
Do you know how much
You're missed
Tonight I stand in this lonely place
I search the heavens
For some saving grace
And I cry, dying without you
I know you're somewhere
Looking up there too
Right now that's all
Two distant hearts can do
Oh-ooh, at least were underneath
Underneath the same moon
Picturing your face
Flowers in your hair
Like you always wear
Oh I can see you there
Longing to be touched
But you're out of reach
Oh hold on please
Won't you wait for me
la la la
la la la
la la la
Oh-ooh At least were underneath
Underneath the same moon
Shadows of the night
Moving all around
Moving on the ground
This Is Gonna Take All Night By Blake Shelton
Well I've been thinking 'bout it an' its been too long
So put them dirty dishes down and leave that laundry alone
Come on
Take me by the hand and follow me to our room
You dont have to tell me this is way over due
I know, so lets go
I wanna be with you
Come let me kiss you
An' I dont mean a peck on the cheek
Girl tonight Im making up for lost time
I hope you gotta good night sleep
I aint gonna rush it
Girl youre gonna love it
Cause I intend to do it right
But I'll go ahead and warn ya

Now I dont understand how life can get in the way
Of me and the prettiest girl in the world making love
But it does
I wanna be with you
Come let me kiss you
An' I dont mean a peck on the cheek
Girl tonight Im making up for lost time
I hope you gotta good night sleep
I aint gonna rush it
Girl youre gonna love it
Cause I intend to do it right
But I'll go ahead and warn ya
This is gonna take all night
I wanna be with you
Come let me kiss you

Im gonna pay attention to every square inch of you
I intend to do this right
But I'll go ahead and warn ya
This is gonna take all night
Yeah I'll show ya how I love ya
There's a campfire burning on the Mississippi River bank
My old pickup speakers are cranking out alot of Hank
That's the sheriff's daughter dancin' on my hood
With an empty bottle this can't be good.
There's an unwritten law in this sleepy little town
There ain't no drinkin on the river when the sun goes down
Think I see the blue lights comin' through the woods
Its the sheriff and his posse, this can't be good
Everybody is runnin' like the end of the world is comin'
With a Buffard T kinda law man closin' in
She just keeps on rockin guess i better do some talkin
She's too dumb to run n' i'm too drunk to swim
This can't be good, this can't be good, this can't be good
Aww stay tuned...
This ol' haybarn's full of last years grass
I got a whole tin can full of campfire gas
Theres a little bitty flame on this piece of firewood
And when it all comes together it can't be good
Everybody is runnin like the end of the world was comin
With a wildfire burnin' like a freight train outta control
She just keeps on rockin', babe there ain't no time for talking
Throw her over my shoulder run with everything I can
Hold on babe looks like were jumpin in...
Now you know, when we get to the other side, were gonna have to take all
These wet clothes off, and hang out awhile... you know, this could be good.
When it's sunny in Seattle and it's snowing down in new Orleans
And them boys from Amarillo stop wearin them boots and jeans
When Memphis aint got the blues
That's when I'll stop lovin you
When it's sunny in Seattle and it's snowing down in new Orleans
Baby, I don't mind you askin
If there's gonna come a day
When I say goodbye
Maybe, I guess anything could happen
Buts it's as close to never
As your ever gonna find
When it's sunny in Seattle and it's snowing down in New Orleans
And them boys from Amarillo stop wearin those boots and jeans
When there's no tequila in Mexico
That's when I'm gonna let you go
When it's sunny in Seattle and it's snowing down in New Orleans
Darlin' Somethings wont ever change
My love is one of those things
When New York is a one horse town
That's when I wont need ya around
When it's sunny in Seattle and it's snowing down in New Orleans
You know if I'd seen her comin'
I'd probably tried to hide
But I came around the corner
And she caught me by surprise
There was no ice cold shoulder
There was no ugly scene
She just smiled and didn't say
The things I thought she'd say to me
Well it was nothin' like that rainy night
She left and slammed the door
Not only she don't love me
She don't hate me anymore
I felt like some neighbor
Just some guy she once knew
You'd never know she loved me
And I broke her heart in two
Was she hidin' her emotions
Or did she really get that strong
Right then she turned and
Introduced me to her new friend John
I could tell the way he shook my hand
He'd never heard of me before
Not only she don't love me
She don't hate me anymore
There was no ice cold shoulder
There was no ugly scene
She just smiled and didn't say
The things I knew she'd say to me
I guess she got so caught up in him
My memory's gone ignored
Not only she don't love me
She don't hate me anymore
I know it might sound crazy
But I don't know what hurts me more
On Friday night when I see her out
Even in a crowd she's hard to miss
There ain't a man breathing air
Who wouldn't stop and stare
And the best part is..
She doesn't know she's got it
She doesn't know how bad we want it
She doesn't know she's got it
And that's what's a gettin' to me
She'll close her eyes when the music plays
And the way she sways
Really rocks the room
She doesn't mean to get things stirred
It's just a thing in her that was born to move
She doesn't know she's got it
She doesn't know how bad I want it
She doesn't know she's got it
And that's what's a gettin' to me
I'm gonna work my courage up
Tell her I'm in love
I'm in love a lot
She has my heart on a string
Like everything the girl has got
She doesn't know she's got it
She doesn't know how bad I want it
She doesn't know she's got it
And that's what's a gettin' to me
She doesn't know she's got it
She doesn't know how bad I want it
She doesn't know she's got it
He meets her at the front door, he can tell she's had a hard day at work
She's been needing him and he's sure been wantin' her
He touches her with tenderness, takes her in his arms and takes it slow
What a shame she can't get that at home.
What a shame she can't get that at home
There's nothing back there but a lonely house
And love ain't all about wood and stone
He satisfies all her needs and wants
What a shame she can't get that at home.
After the lovin', they lie there and talk for a while
She loves how he listens and he sure loves to see her smile
He wants to keep her but he loves her enough to let her go
What a shame she can't get that at home.
What a shame she can't get that at home
There's nothing back there but a lonely house
And love ain't all about wood and stone
He satisfies all her needs and wants
What a shame she can't get that at home.
He satisfies all her needs and wants
(Verse 1)
If I could
I would dare
Feed your dreams
And starve your fears
If I could
Light the world
We could sit
And watch it burn
We could fall asleep inside the glow
(Chorus)
So tell me what I gotta do to win you over
You'll never have to wonder if you need another
You'll never have to wonder if I understand
And every time you reach for me you'll find a hand
Ohhh
(Verse 2)
If I could
Take you in
Feeling you deep
Beneath my skin
Then I could
Slip away
With you as a poison in my veins
I don't wanna fall asleep alone
And wake up knowing that I died without the one
(Chorus)x 2
So tell me what I gotta do to win you over
You'll never have to wonder if you need another
You'll never have to wonder if I understand
And every time you reach for me you'll find a hand
Ohhh
(Ending)
If I could
I would dare
Feed your dreams
On A Good Day, when I think about her
I only cry a couple hundred tears
On A Good Day, when I can't forget about her
I can dull the pain with just a couple beers
On A Good Day I can even fake a smile
When somebody says I'm gonna be ok
But as you can plainly see
I'm not havin' On A Good Day.
So set em up
Here's a hundred dollars keep em comin' Joe (whoa whoa)
When I've had enough
Call this number and my brother
Will pour me in his car and drive me home
On A Good Day, I become the kind of man that even I can barely tolerate
And as you can plainly see
I'm not havin' On A Good Day.
On A Good Day, I would never crash a party
Knowin' she'd be there with someone else
And On A Good Day, I would have stopped before I started
To make a major fool of myself
On A Good Day, I'd been quick enough to duck
Before her new love punched me in the face
But as you can plainly see
I'm not havin' On A Good Day.
Yeah I only see you Joe
When I'm not havin' A Good Day
Here comes ponder running down the field on the minnesota vikings when they
needs his help to across the lines for 1st & goal before peterson fly in
the endzone to score points for these powerful vikings like them acrossing
There ought to be a town somewhere
Named for how I feel
Yeah, I could be the mayor down there
Say, ?Welcome to Sorryville?
It wouldn't be on a map nowhere
You might say it that it don't exist
But if you make enough wrong turns
It'd be hard to miss
There ought to be a bridge somewhere
They could dedicate to me
I'd probably come to the ceremony
With a can of gasoline
And walk on over to the other side
And there I'd light a match
And sit and stare through the smoke and flames
Wonderin' how I'm gonna get back
Why do I do the things I do?
Was I born this way? Am I a self-made fool?
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark
I need your love but I break your heart
And I know the words that'll bring you back
But I don't say nothin' as I watch you pack
I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be
It ain't easy bein' me
Ought to be a side show act
For freaks like me
Yeah, I could be the star of the show
With my name on the marquee
In a room with a big red button
That says, "Danger, do not touch"
Twice a day I'd mash it down
And you could watch me self-destruct
Why do I do the things I do?
Was I born this way? Am I a self-made fool?
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark
I need your love but I break your heart
And I know the words that'll bring you back
But I don't say nothin' as I watch you pack
I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be
It ain't easy bein' me
You say you don’t know what you were thinking, well
neither do I.
After all the time we spent together, you think you
deserve another try.
Well girl I don’t know what it is that you’re
expecting. Just because you look me in the eye
(Chorus)
You say you’re sorry, oh you’re sorry. You want it back
the way it was. Well I’m sorry but sometimes sorry just
ain’t good enough.
You say you never meant to hurt me, well that might be
true.
Do you really think I should forgive you, for what you
put me through?
I remember every time you said you loved me but I know
now your love was just a lie
(Chorus)
You say you’re sorry, oh you’re sorry. You want it back
the way it was. Well I’m sorry but sometimes sorry just
ain’t good enough.
Oh, girl I don’t know what it is that you’re expecting.
Just because you look me in the eye
Say you’re sorry.
Oh you’re sorry, so sorry.
And you want it back the way it was. Well I’m sorry but
I’ll Just Hold On By Blake Shelton
I can taste your kiss on my lips
And I’m wrapped around your finger tips
As I watch the moonlight dancing on your skin
Your green eyes and the sweet red wine
Go to my head girl every time
And I get drunk on you
I lose control and then
And here I go again
Chorus
I’m falling for you even though I know your only playing with my heart
Tomorrow might be hell
But a night or two of loving you is better than never at all
And I can’t help myself
So I’ll just hold on
I’ll just hold on
I’ll just hold on
Until your gone
Girl I know you’re a gypsy soul
And I’m just a stop along your road
And you hang around long enough to blow my mind
If I had a star for every scar
You tattooed on my heart
I could fill up the Oklahoma sky
So girl I don’t know why
Chorus
I’ll just hold on
I’ll just hold on
I’ll just hold on
Till your gone
I look down and my cell phone rings
And I see your name and I know what that means
But I don’t care
I’ll just hold on
Till your gone
Every time you need to take it home?
Seeing you there just breaks my heart?
I don’t care
I’ll just hold on
Till your gone
Your green eyes and that sweet red wine
Go to my head girl every time
But I don’t care
I’ll just hold on
Girl, I been thinkin' 'bout usAnd you know I ain't good at this stuffBut these feelings piling up won't give me no rest
This might come out a little crazyA little sideways, yeah, maybeI don't know how long it'll take me but I'll do my best
If you'll be my soft and sweetI'll be your strong and steadyYou be my glass of wineI'll be your shot of whiskey
You be my sunny dayI'll be your shade treeYou be my honeysuckleI'll be your honey bee
Yeah, that came out a little countryBut every word was right on the moneyAnd I got you smilin', honey, right back at me
Now hold on 'cause I ain't doneThere's more where that came fromWell, you know I'm just havin' fun but seriously
If you'll be my LouisianaI'll be your MississippiYou be my little LorettaI'll be your Conway Twitty
You be my sugar, babyI'll be your sweet iced teaYou be my honeysuckleI'll be your honey bee
Your kiss just said it allI'm glad we had this talkNothin' left to do but fall in each other's arms
I could've said a, "I love you"Could've wrote you a line or twoBaby, all I know to do is speak right from the heart
If you'll be my soft and sweetI'll be your strong and steadyYou be my glass of wineI'll be your shot of whiskey
You be my sunny dayI'll be your shade treeYou be my honeysuckleI'll be your honey bee
You'll be my LouisianaI'll be your MississippiYou be my little LorettaI'll be your Conway Twitty
Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone, I wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
And I?ve been keeping all the letters
That I wrote to you, each one a line or two
?I?m fine baby, how are you??
I would send them but I know
That it?s just not enough, my words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that
Another airplane, another sunny place
I?m lucky I know but I wanna go home
I?ve got to go home, let me go home
I?m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home
And I feel just like I?m living someone else?s life
It?s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not come along with me
This was not your dream
But you always believed in me
Another winter day
Has come and gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home
And I?m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone and I wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
Let me go home
I?ve had my run
Baby, I?m done
I'm coming back home
Let me go home
It will all be all right
I?ll be home tonight
You were just someone, some friend of mine
Said take a ride and have yourself a good time
To be honest I was far from over a broken heart
You were the furthest thing from my mind
And it didn’t seem to matter to you
That I looked away when we were introduced
Cos you broke the ice with that killer smile
Ordered us a drink and we talked a while
And I slowly started coming around
Now here I am
To tell the truth, I did my best
To tell myself, hey don’t forget the last time
Then I stood there in disbelief
At how easily you got to me with your eyes
You reached across the table and you took my hand
And I knew I was in trouble right there and then
When you broke the ice with that killer smile
Ordered us a drink and we talked a while
And I slowly started coming around
Now here I am, down on one knee
Am I getting to you baby, the way you got to me
When you broke the ice with that killer smile
Ordered us a drink and we talked a while
And I slowly started coming around
Now here I am
When you broke the ice with that killer smile
Ordered us a drink and we talked a while
I slowly started coming around
Well every time I turn around I see some dude dressed like a clown
Baggy pants and a Cap on sideways
They don't say Ma'am or Sir no more they won't even hold a door for a woman
Well it's a crying shame
Tell me where did all the Good Ole Boys Go?
Must be workin' on a farm or out there chasing rainbows
Are they back in Oklahoma or in a Texas rodeo?
Tell me where did all the Good Ole Boys Go?
Are they sitting on a an old bar stool or telling lies and cutting a fool
Talking about 'the way it was' and wishing?
Down in Orange Beach, Alabama hanging out at the Flora-Bama heading out the
Pass and goin' fishin'?
Tell me where did all the Good Ole Boys Go?
Must be workin on a farm or out there chasing rainbows
Are they hiding down in Georgia or in a Texas rodeo?
Tell me where did all the Good Ole Boys Go?
Are they drivin' cattle and a ridin' high living life the Cowboy way?
Or Down there on the front line fighting off the bad guys, giving them hell
For the good ole USA?
Tell me where did all the Good Ole Boys Go?
Must be workin on a farm or out there chasing rainbows
Are they back in oklahoma or in a texas rodeo?
Tell me where did all the Good Ole Boys Go?
Yeah just where the hell did all the good ole boys go?
(I know where a few of them are, down there in southern Oklahoma, even some
Down in Texas, I even saw one on NY one time, you know what I'm talking
About ladies, hell I'll hold the door for you, I'll hold your purse for you,
I'll even go pick up some feminine products for you, that's what a good ole
Good morning beautiful, how was your night?
Mine was wonderful with you by my side
And then I, open my eyes, see your sweet face
It's a good morning, beautiful day.
I couldn't see the light
I didn't know day from night
I had no reason to care
Since you came along
I can face the dawn
Cause I know you'll be there
Good morning beautiful how was your night?
Mine was wonderful with you by my side
And then I, open my eyes, see your sweet face

Running into you like this

Do I laugh

Do I dare look in your eyes
Oh no, here it goes
My hands start to shake
My heart's gonna' show
Like the day we met
To the night you said we're through
Everytime I look at you
You seem to be a bit distracted
I wish that I could feel the same
You never were too good at acting
Baby some things never change
I can't keep from letting go
It's something that I can't control
Oh no, here it goes
My hands start to shake
My heart's gonna' show
Like the day we met
To the night you said we're through
Everytime I look at you
You stand there looking sweet and innocent
But how can you be so cruel and confident
At my expense
Oh no, here it goes
My hands start to shake
My heart's gonna' show
Like the day we met
To the night you said we're through
Everytime I look at....
Oh no, here it goes
My hands start to shake
My heart's gonna' blow
Like the day we met
To the night you said we're through
Everytime I look at you
Cat Diesel Power cap pulled down low

it's from choppin' cotton, cuttin' corn and slingin' that hay
been heavy liftin' since the crack of dawn
no doubt about it that boy's country strong
he's up in the mornin' yawnin' with those work boots on
workin' like hell 'til the dinner bell brings him back home
blue collar in his blood, backwoods in his bones
no doubt about it that boy's country strong
he wears an old felt hat on his head
got a saddle for a pillow, and the ground for a bed
spurs on his heels, reins in his hands
drivin' cattle, ropin' steers and burnin' his brand
there ain't no lettin' up all day long
no doubt about it that boy's country strong
he's up in the mornin' yawnin' with those Tony Llama's on
workin' like hell 'til the dinner bell brings him back home
blue collar in his blood, backwoods in his bones
no doubt about it that boy's country strong
Yea behind every good man, there's a woman
she's the one thing that keeps him goin', keeps him goin'
she's up in the mornin' yawnin' with that coffee pot on
workin' like hell 'til the dinner bell brings him back home
blue collar in her blood, backwoods in her bones
no doubt about it that girl's country strong

Don't bother telling me what I got coming in the morning
I already know
I got some feelgood pills and a red Gatorade by my bed
Ready to go
I'm gonna do my best to dance with every girl in this bar
Before they shut it down
Then I'll pay my tab, climb in a cab
Headin' to a spot downtown
It's all about tonight
Good times, and the music and laughing, and grooving to the band
Everybody's getting right
No worries, we're rocking all kinds of concoctions in our hands
Yeah, tomorrow can wait 'til tomorrow
It's all about tonight
Hey pretty thing
I've been looking at you since the moment that you walked in
I got some wild-ass buddies that love spending money
And I see you brought a couple of friends
Just tell me your name
I don't need your number or a date next Saturday
Baby, let's act like fools, break a few rules
Party the night away
It's all about tonight
Good times, and the music and laughing, and grooving to the band
Everybody's getting right
No worries, we're rocking all kinds of concoctions in our hands
Yeah, tomorrow can wait 'til tomorrow
It's all about tonight
Haha, slide
It's all about tonight
Good times, and the music and laughing, and grooving to the band
Everybody's getting right
No worries, we're rocking all kinds of concoctions in our hands
Yeah, tomorrow can wait 'til tomorrow
I said tomorrow can wait 'til tomorrow
It's all about tonight
Yeah, it's all about tonight
Come on, it's all about tonight
We're gonna get our swerve on, a buzz on
It's all about tonight
Come on, baby, I wouldn't worry about that
Wheels turn like my memories
And the headlights shine like my used to be's
And time, time's taking way too long
And forgiveness, well I hope it's not too far gone
A hundred miles from here is where I need to be
And a hundred miles from now I'm gonna hit my knees
Say I miss you, ooh I love you and I'm sorry
And if she can find the way to take me back
I'll spend the rest of my life making up for the past
All my answers, all my hopes and all my fears
Are a hundred miles from here
I, I told her I had to go
And now I know what I didn't know
And this road will lead me back to your door
But can it take me to a girl who can't love me anymore?
A hundred miles from here is where I need to be
And a hundred miles from now I'm gonna hit my knees
Say I miss you, ooh I love you and I'm sorry
And if she can find the way to take me back
I'll spend the rest of my life making up for the past
All my answers, all my hopes and all my fears
