We got the horses moving
We got woofers grooving
We got the Waylon wailing
Everybody's head is bobbing
I got the muffler flowing
I got my horn a blowing
I got the rubber burning
Down on all fours
Pull in the club
We hear the band bang
Roll through the door
Everybody hey, hey
Four on the floor, feel the beat in your soul
Moving to the rhythm, pumping till you can't take no more
Dance if you want to, do what you came to
You can't ignore the feeling of that four on the floor
Aw yeah, D.J. is really wigging
He got the old school mixing
The fellas heads are spinning
All the girls are finger licking
We got the bubbly bubbling
I got her shoulders rubbing
I got my game a spitting
Kicking it in low
She grabs my arm
Pulls me to the main stage
Out on the floor
Everybody sing, sing
Four on the floor, feel the beat in your soul
Moving to the rhythm, pumping till you can't take no more
Dance if you want to, do what you came to
You can't ignore the feeling of that four on the floor
Take a little walk outside
Honey wants to see my ride
You know I think I might
Turn on a little Barry White
Four on the floor, feel the beat in your soul
Moving to the rhythm, pumping till you can't take no more
Dance if you want to, do what you came to
You can't ignore the feeling of that four on the
Feeling of that four on the floor
Feeling of that four on the floor, oh yeah
This shouldn't be hard for you, you made it look easy back then.
And if I remember correctly, you said “we're better off as friends”.
So now would be a good time for you to let go of my hand,
what part of leave me alone do you not understand?
You know I cried for a solid year.
And I don't recall you ever shed no tears.
And now you're standin' here askin' me to please take you back again.
What part of leave me alone do you not understand?
I know I promised you I'd love you my whole life.
Baby that's one promise i made, i still stand by.
Just to take a bullet for you, one night of romance.
What part of leave me alone do you not understand?
You know I cried for a solid year.
And i don't recall you ever shed no tears.
Well now you're standin' here askin' me to please take you back again.
What part of leave me alone do you not understand?
In case you didn't hear me the first time baby.
You know I cried for a solid year.
And I don't recall you ever shed no tears.
Oh now you're standin' here askin' me to please take you back again.
What part of leave me alone do you not understand?
I just got off of work at 5
Drivin' that old van I drive
Overalls and dirty boots
But Uncle Bill needed a funeral suit
So when I walked in that fancy store
Well they looked at me like I was poor
But a wad of hundred dollar bills caused a stir
It went from “don't take checks� to “right away, yes sir!�
Upper middle class white trash
My pockets can't hold all my cash
'Cause one day I stopped to pee
Got some gas and won the lottery
Now I'm investin' in my neighborhood
My friends and family, they're all livin' pretty good!
My trailer park's full of Cadillacs
And upper middle class white trash
Well I got my homeboy Chris a brand new shop
For all those cars on cinder blocks
And cousin Charlie, well he thinks it's cool
To keep a large mouth bass in his new swimmin' pool
I had a birthday party for mama last night
In her ninety and a half foot triple-wide
You ain't seen nothin' if you ain't seen
NASCAR on a sixty inch plasma screen
Upper middle class white trash
My pockets can't hold all my cash
'Cause one day I stopped to pee
Got some gas and won the lottery
Now I'm investin' in my neighborhood
My friends and family, they're all livin' pretty good!
My trailer park's full of Cadillacs
And upper middle class white trash
We're buyin' chicken wings by the bucket!
We can't eat 'em all, we just say 'chuck it'
All the Miller Light you can handle
A hundred and fifty-seven movie channels
Upper middle class white trash
Our pockets can't hold all our cash
'Cause one day I just had to pee
Got some gas and won the lottery
Now I'm investin' in my neighborhood
My friends and family, they're all livin' pretty dag gum good!
My trailer park's full of Cadillacs
And upper middle class white trash
So pop a top, sit back and relax
All you upper middle class white trash
Ha ha ha
These last few days
What can I say
You’ve had me thinkin’ in circles
In crazy not like me ways
My favorite thing
Lately has been waking up with you
Talkin ourselves to sleep again
Baby come a little closer
Let me lay some nibble kisses on your shoulder
You said that’s your favorite place
Baby maybe we could borrow
Find a way to bag and
Steal a few tomorrows and stay
Here in these last few days
These last few days
Have blown me away
The thought of letting go,
And falling
Is actually feeling okay
I must confess
I need some rest
But with every touch
I swear the better it seems to get
Baby come a little closer
Let me lay some nibble kisses on your shoulder
You said that your favorite place
Baby maybe we could borrow
Find a way to bag and
Steal a few tomorrows and stay
Here in these last few days
I aint lookin for love
But whatever this is
I can’t get enough
Baby come a little closer
Let me lay some nibble kisses on your shoulder
You said that your favorite place
Baby maybe we could borrow
Find a way to bag and
Steal a few tomorrows and stay
He used to hold her hand, he used to hold her door.
She don't know what that feels like anymore.
Just last night he was sleepin', she kissed his face,
he said “I gotta work in the morning” and rolled away.
He used to love her like crazy, you couldn't pull them apart.
God she felt so unbelievable in his arms.
Now she's catchin' herself lookin' down at her ring every now and then.
She don't wanna leave, she just needs it to be that way again.
So this mornin' she had coffee with a brand new friend.
She still had half a cup left when he asked her “can i see you again”.
That made her smile like she hadn't smiled in years,
in just a second her smile turned to tears.
She said, “he used to love me like crazy, you couldn't pull us apart.
God i felt so unbelievable in his arms”.
But now shes catchin' herself lookin' down at her ring every now and then.
She don't wanna leave she just needs it to be that way again.
She left that little cafe, she headed straight to her car.
She picked up her phone, he didn't say hi,
he just said “hey, when you gettin' home?”
She said, "you used to love me like crazy, you couldn't pull us apart.
God I felt so unbelievable in your arms.
But now I'm catchin' myself lookin' down at my ring every now and then.
But I don't wanna leave I just need you to be that way again."
Jeep tires burn my driveway black,
Got my John deere hat turned back.
Brother says there's gonna be a fight,
Sumter County Friday Night.
One black eye and two teeth later,
Sumter High and the Lakewood gators
Brandy May, Nancy Bean,
Waiting at the Dairy Queen!
Jump in the back, take down the top,
28 minutes to Sparkle Berry Swamp.
Come over here give me a kiss,
Lord don't make it no better than this!
Red dirt roads and big tire toys,
Country girls and redneck boys,
Carolina moon is big and bright,
Sumter County Friday Night!
Fred Johnson just opened up his fields,
Change of plans ain't no big deal.
Hundered fifty cell phones ring,
Everybody's talking about the same thing!
Wedgefield Road south of town,
Go 13 miles then slow it down,
Radar trap, Barney Fife,
Don't hold that brown bag up to high!
Red dirt roads and big tire toys,
Country girls and redneck boys,
Carolina moon is big and bright,
Sumter County Friday Night!
Tailgates down around the fire,
New shotgun can't wait to try her.
Beer can targets in the air,
Duck boots are the thing to wear.
Cow tippin', skinny dipping,
Bring your own 'cause you can't have mine.
Don't start out looking for trouble,
But oh the trouble we can find!
Red dirt roads and big tire toys,
Country girls and redneck boys,
Carolina moon is big and bright,
Sumter County Friday Night,
It's really good to see you,
Your looking just as good as I recall,
No nothings really changed here at all,
I heard you moved to Phoenix
So whatcha doing back here in this no where town?
And are you staying at your mamas house?
Me oh yeah, yeah, I've been doin' fine
You should know me well enough to know I'm lying,
The lights turn red and the lights turn green,
The sun comes up and shines on everything,
Everyday, everyday, and I still don't know what to do
About the way I feel about you,
Somethings ain't ever gonna change,
Somethings ain't ever gonna change!
Now I still see your daddy,
Help him fix his 'ole tractor now and then,
No they don't make 'em anymore like the two of them!
Love to hear him talk about you,
I could listen to his stories all day long,
It's like you ain't ever been gone!
We both know you have to walk away,
But God knows I'll still love you anyway, yeah!
The lights turn red and the lights turn green,
The sun comes up and shines on everything!
Everyday, everyday!
And I still don't know what to do,
About the way I feel about you,
Somethings ain't ever gonna change!
No, Somethings ain't ever gonna change!
It's really good to see you,
You're looking just as good as I recall,
She got her daddy's tongue and temper
Sometimes her mouth could use a filter
God shook his head the day he built her
Oh, but I bet he smiled
She loves and lives her life, unruly
Tears up that dirt road up in a dualy
Dangerous, absolutely
And in a little while
She'll be roundin' that corner on three wheels
Ain't slowin down, yellin, "Come on, jump in"
Always up to somethin, crazy, got nothin' on her
She ain't right
She ain't right
She ain't right
But she's just right for me
She says she wants to meet my momma
I said, "I don't think you oughta
Be like mixin' oil and water"
But by midnight, she had
Momma on the coffee table, dancin'
Comin' unwound
Good God, I swear, can't take her anywhere
What's the girl gonna do next?
She ain't right
She ain't right
She ain't right
But she's just right for me
Every once in a while, she gives me that smile
And says, "I just don't see somebody like you
Lovin' somebody like me"
She ain't right
No, she ain't right
She ain't right
She ain't right
She ain't right
But she's just right, she's just right
She's just right for me
Mmm, she's just right, she's just right
She ain't right but she's just right for me
A Saturday downpour carved out rivers in the sand
She said it was her fist time to see the sea
Helping her climb across those jetty rocks
Was the first time I touched her hand
And the rain and the way that felt
Never let up all week
By Thursday, I knew everything about her
And, God, the last day, I didn't wanna leave without her
The sidewalks and the streets were soaked
And the sky was grey, but you should've seen her face
Shinin' like that lighthouse through all the rain
And the way she called my name
Well, I've lived those seven days a thousand times
Those seven days a thousand
Time was like the tide, it came and went
That old pier ran clear out into the mist
And my mind plays back that Tuesday night
Again and again and again
I taste that salt water taffy on her lips
And Wednesday morning snuck in through the window
And we just laid there and listened to the waves come and go
The sidewalks and the streets were soaked
And the sky was grey, but you should've seen her face
Shinin' like that lighthouse through all the rain
And the way she called my name
Well, I've lived those seven days a thousand times
Those seven days a thousand
Moments with her, now, they're all a blur
Except for every second, every word
Every drop of rain, every single grain of sand
The sidewalks and the streets were soaked
And the sky was grey, but you should've seen her face
Shinin' like that lighthouse through all the pourin' rain
And the way she called my name
Well, I've lived those seven days a thousand times
I grew up on the edge of a cornfield at the end of a long dirt road
Carolina plow boy, ain’t had a free summer since I was ten years old
Mama made us pick our own switches so we could feel the sting of doin’ wrong
That set me straight on the road I’m still on
I am who I am
The product of a good woman loved by a real good man
I’ve learned what I’ve learned
By finding the right way in all of my wrong turns
I love what I love
I ain’t afraid to say it ‘cause I’m damn sure man enough
That’s what you need to see to get a picture of me
I grew up on gospel ‘cause that’s all my daddy’d listen to
I found my soul in rock and roll when me and my first guitar were introduced
Truth is I’ve only loved one woman
And she’d have stayed, but I made her leave
She’s still hauntin’ me in every song I sing
I am who I am
The product of a woman still loved by a stubborn man
I’ve learned what I’ve learned
By finding the right way in all of my wrong turns
I love what I love
I ain’t afraid to say it ‘cause I’m damn sure man enough
That’s what you need to see to get a picture of me
Like me or leave me
Either way you know it the second you shake my hand
I’m a long way from Jesus, but I know He knows I’m doing the best I can
I am who I am
The product of the good Lord lovin’ a sinful man
I’ve learned what I’ve learned
By finding the right way in all of my wrong turns
I love what I love
I ain’t afraid to say it ‘cause I’m damn sure man enough
That’s what you need to see
I’ve spent a lot of time; I’ve spent a lot of energy
Set in my mind, set in my way settin’ him lonely
Keeping my space, Holdin’ my own keys
Makin’ my way makin’ my list of things that I don’t need
Like a woman, or a heartbreak, or a woman
You showed me that thinkin’ that way is
Overrated
Overrated
I’ve put a lot of stock
In keepin’ easy
Changin’ my mood, changin’ my socks just to suit me
Limited myself to casual kissin’
Never had a problem easily dismissin’ any woman
Or complication
But woman, you showed me that thinkin’ that way is
Overrated
Overrated
Havin’ no pictures to clutter the walls
Or anyone angry if I forget to call
Freedom and room and time alone
I’m telling you, you’re all
Over rated…
over rated…
I’ve spent a lot of time
I’ve spent a lot of energy
Set in my mind set in my way settin’ him lonely
Keeping my space, holdin’ my own keys
Makin my way makin’ my list of things that I don’t need
People say she's only in my head
It's gonna take time but I'll forget
They say I need to get on with my life
But they don't realize
'Cause when you're dialing 6 numbers just to hang up the phone
Driving cross town just to see if she's home
Waking a friend in the dead of the night
Just to hear him say it's gonna be alright
When you're finding things to do not to fall asleep
'Cause you know she'll be there in your dreams
That's when she's more than a memory
Took a match to everything she ever wrote
Watched her words go up in smoke
Tore all her pictures off the wall
That ain't helping me at all
'Cause when you're talking out loud but nobody's there
You look like hell and you just don't care
Drinking more than you ever drank
Sinking down lower than you ever sank
When you find yourself falling down upon your knees
Praying to God, begging Him please
That's when she's more than a memory
She's more, she's more
'Cause when you're dialing her number just to hang up the phone
Driving cross town just to see if she's home
Waking a friend in the dead of the night
Just to hear him say it's gonna be alright
When you're finding things to do not to fall asleep
'Cause you know she's waiting in your dreams
That's when she's more than a memory
People say she's only in my head
It's gonna take time but I'll forget
They called them crazy when they started out
Said, "Seventeen's too young to know what loves about"
They've been together fifty-eight years now
That's crazy
He brought home sixty-seven bucks a week
Bought a little 2 bedroom house on Maple Street
Where she blessed him with six more mouths to feed
Now that's crazy
Just ask him how he did it
He'll say, "Pull up a seat
It'll only take a minute
To tell you everything"
Be a best friend, tell the truth
And overuse I love you
Go to work, do your best
Don't outsmart your commonsense
Never let your prayin' knees get lazy
And love like crazy
They called him crazy when he quit his job
Said them home computers, boy, they'll never take off
Well, he sold his one man shop to Microsoft
And they paid like crazy
Just ask him how he made it
He'll tell you faith and sweat
And the heart of a faithful woman
Who never let him forget
Be a best friend, tell the truth
And overuse I love you
Go to work, do your best
Don't outsmart your commonsense
Never let your prayin' knees get lazy
And love like crazy
Always treat your woman like a lady
Never get to old to call her baby
Never let your prayin' knees get lazy
And love like crazy
They called him crazy when they started out
They've been together fifty-eight years now
I am insensitive I have a tendency to pay more attention to the things that
I need.
Sometimes I drink to much, sometimes I test your trust, sometimes I dunno
Why you're staying with me?
I'm hard to love, hard to love, I don't make it easy, I couldn't do it if I
Stood where you stood
I'm hard to love, hard to love, you say that you need me, I don't deserve
It but I love that you love me. goood
I am a short fuse, I am a wrecking ball crashing into your heart like I do
You're like a Sunday morning full of grace and full of Jesus I wish that I
Could be more like you.
I'm hard to love, hard to love, I don't make it easy, I couldn't do it if I
Stood where you stood,
I'm hard to love, hard to love, you say that you need me, I don't deserve
It but I love that you love me. Goood
Love me good
Girl you've given me a million second chances and I don't ever wanna take
You for granted, I'm just a man, I'm just a man
Hard to love, hard to love, oh I don't make it easy and I couldn't do it if
I stood where you stood.
I'm hard to love, hard to love and you say that you need me, I don't
Deserve it but I love that you love me. good. (x2)
Well, I love her and she's leaving
She met a man, plays in a band last weekend
And he lives out on the west coast
And she says she's got to go
But it's a long, long way from Myrtle Beach to L.A
Anything could change her mind
One sunset or one regret
She could turn around, come back and be mine
Happy endings happen all the time
She's almost finished packing
There's over 2,000 miles, a lot could happen
There's going to be days and days of long stretches
Maybe she'll come back to her senses
'Cause it's a long, long way from Myrtle Beach to L.A
Anything could change her mind
One sunset or one regret
And she could turn around, come back and be mine
Happy endings happen all the time
Well, I ain't waiting on no phone call
I ain't getting my hopes up at all
I ain't setting myself up for a fall
But it's a long, long way from Myrtle Beach to L.A
Anything could change her mind
One sunset or one regret
She could turn around, come back and be mine
Then everything would be just fine
Yea, happy endings happen all the time
It's a long, long way from Myrtle Beach to L.A
My baby’s sweet talkin’ the cable man
While I’m a diggin’ around up here
Sweatin’ my %#@ off in the attic
Trying to find the rabbit ears
The screen doors off the hinges
And there’s a flat tire on the Olds
And this GE Fridgerator ain’t keeping nothin’ froze
We’re falling apart together
Well it’s another flash light dinner in the dark Mmm Hmm
When times get hard
We just shake us on a little more salt and pepper
Yeah the good thing is we might be falling apart
But we’re falling apart together
Well I got me some good friends that swing a hammer at a nail
But there ain’t no houses going up
Ain’t no checks in the mail
Well the gas tanks might be empty
But the tail gates still full
We pass a guitar and a bottle around
Everybody take a pull
We’re falling apart together
Well it’s another flash light dinner in the dark Mmm Hmm
When times get hard
We just shake us on a little more salt and pepper
Yeah the good thing is we might be falling apart
But we’re falling apart together
These days ain’t stayin’ forever
They’re gonna get better
But till they do
We’ll be falling apart together
Well it’s another flash light dinner in the dark Mmm Hmm
When times get hard
We'll just shake us on a little more salt and pepper
Yeah the good thing is we might be falling apart
Did you see me with my coat and my white t-shirt
And my cowboy boots, and my baby blues
Staring at you from across the room?
Did you see me looking at you? Yes, you did
I was looking at your eyes, looking at your legs
Looking at your thigh, looking at the old back side
Did you see me looking at you, man?
I don't understand what a women like you
Would want in a boy like him, and boy like him
Well, I saw your man standing there and I gave him a glare
And I swear he looked pretty scared to me
I saw him swallow his pride and I looked deep in his eyes
And it ended with, "You wanna take this outside?"
'Cause Carolina boys get rowd and loud
Yes, we do, don't look at me
I'll turn you whole world upside down
'Cause we get rowd and loud
I didn't mean to scare you with my rowdy redneck friends
But I couldn't help to notice you walk in with him
His 3 piece suit and his penny loafer shoes
Girl, tell me what am I gonna do with you?
Do you want to ride?
Do you want to dance all night?
Do you want to take a little
Trip in my lifted ride?
It might get rowd and loud
Now tell the truth, girl, you saw a new world
The moment you layed your pretty little eyes on me
Well, I give you something to think about, something to talk about
Tell the whole world about a girl like me
'Cause Carolina boys get rowd and loud
Yes, we do, don't look at me
I'll turn you whole world upside down
'Cause we get rowd and loud
'Cause we get rowdy
No, we get rowdy
Sometimes I get angry
For feeling sorry for myself
I worry myself crazy
Till I can catch my breath
I see life as a struggle
And answers hard to find
And troubles weighing heavy on my mind
Till beautiful you start smiling
Laugh until you cry
And even if I'm trying
I can't help but laughing at myself
I don't know how you do it
Like there's nothing to it
When I look up and there ain't nothing left
But beautiful you
Sometimes when I ask you
What do you stay here for
I know we need each other
But it seems I need you more
You act like you don't hear me
You don't even make a sound
And I hold my breath until you turn around
Till beautiful you start smiling
Laugh until you cry
And even if I'm trying
I can't help but laughing at myself
I don't know how you do it
Like there's nothing to it
When I look up and there ain't nothing left
But beautiful you
You don't even see it
You swear you can't believe it
But your beautiful, beautiful
I don't know how you do it
Like there's nothing to it
Sometimes I just have to pinch myself
When I look up and there ain't nothing left
I’ve been around the ocean since I was a kid
I don’t get to see it much these days
This mornin’ I walked down to it just to say I did
And Damned if it didn’t take my breath away
I guess some things are just that way
Like a baby sleeping
A Momma kneeling
A Key-West sunset sky
Yeah the chills I get when you lay your lips on mine
That’s Beautiful … beautiful every time
Well I could hear the music drifting over the dunes
It sounded like a weddin’ on the beach
I Figured I’d take a closer look
Had nothin’ better to do
Yes I forgot the sight a blushing bride could be
Well I guess amazing is always amazing
Like a baby sleeping
A Momma kneeling
A Key-West sunset sky
Yeah the chills I get when you lay your lips on mine
That’s Beautiful
Beautiful every time
I guess amazing will always be amazing
Like a church choir singing
A nation healing
A soldier coming home alive
The love for me girl I see in your eyes
That’s beautiful
Beautiful every time
Hey hey I just had a magnificent idea

Don't be shy you know that I think you
are the epitome of knock down gorgeous
slap your mama fine
I can't help what you do to me baby
and you can't help how heaven shaped your body and

Everybody knows it's all about the girl

You know you know how to get
whatever it is you want
'specially if you're being bad
Bat your big blue eyes
put your hand down on my thigh
nibble on my ear like that
I can't help what you do to me honey
and you can't help how heaven shaped your body
they're crazy if they think we're living in a mans world
Everybody knows it's all about the girl
the girl
[instrumental]

we're living in a man's world
everybody knows it's all about
Everybody knows it's all about the girl

Lord have mercy it's the girl
Songwriters: Brice, Lee; Stone, Jon
Last night out of the blue
Driftin' off to the evenin' news
She said "Honey, what would you do
"If you'd have never met me"
I just laughed, said "I don't know,
"But I could take a couple guesses though"
And then tried to dig real deep,
Said, "Darlin', honestly
"I'd do a lot more offshore fishin'
"Probably eat more drive-thru chicken
"Take a few strokes off my golf game
"If I'd a never known your name
"I'd still be drivin' that old green 'Nova
"I probably never would have heard of yoga
"Be a better football fan
"But if I was a single man
"Alone and out there on the loose
"I'd be lookin' for a woman like you"
Well, I could tell that got her attention
So I said, "Oh yeah, I forgot to mention
"I wouldn't trade a single day
"For a hundred years the other way"
She just smiled and rolled her eyes
'Cause she's heard all of my lines
I said, "C'mon on girl, seriously
"If I hadn't been so lucky
"I'd be shootin' pool in my bachelor pad
"Playin' bass in my cover band
"Restockin' up cold Bud Light
"For poker every Tuesday night, yeah
"I'd have a dirtbike in the shed
"And not one throw pillow on the bed
"I'd keep cash in a coffee can
"But if I was a single man
"Alone and out there on the loose
"I'd be looking for a woman like you"
She knows what a mess I'd be if I didn't have her here
But to be sure, I whispered in her ear
"You know I get sick deep-sea fishin'
"And you make the best fried chicken
"I got a hopeless golf game
"I love the sound of your name
"I might miss that old green 'Nova
"But I love watchin' you do yoga
"I'd take a gold band on my hand
"Over bein' a single man
"'Cause honestly, I don't know what I'd do
Hey hey I just had a magnificent idea
why don't you slip that sundress off?
I know somewhere under there
you've got my favorite swimsuit on
Show me that little butterfly shaped tattoo
you know the one just below that tanline
Don't be shy you know that I think you

You know you know how to get
whatever it is you want
'specially if you're being bad
Bat your big blue eyes
put your hand down on my thigh
nibble on my ear like that
I can't help what you do to me honey
and you can't help how heaven shaped your body
they're crazy if they think we're living in a mans world
Everybody knows it's all about the girl
the girl
[instrumental]
you know I love what you do to me honey
you know I love how heaven shaped your body
you know I love how you kiss my lips
you know I love how heaven shaped your hips
I can't help what you do to me honey
and you can't help how heaven shaped your body and they're crazy if they think
we're living in a man's world
everybody knows it's all about
Everybody knows it's all about the girl
the girl
Lord have mercy it's the girl
It can make a a man feel like a kid
Or feel just like a clown
It can make him run for cover
Or stay and stand his ground
It can make a man pick up the bottle
Or help him lay it down
It can stop his whole world from turning
Or turn his whole world around
That’s the power of a woman
It’s the touch of her hand
One smile one tear one whisper in your ear
That’s the power of a woman
It can make a man beg for Jesus
Or make him wish he’d never asked
It can make him dream about the future
Or make a nightmare of his past
That’s the power of a woman
It’s the touch of her hand
One smile one tear one whisper in your ear
That’s the power of a woman
She can say so much without saying a word
That’s just the power of a woman
It’s the touch of her hand
One smile one tear one whisper in your ear
That’s the power of a woman
The power of a woman
My baby's sweet talkin' the cable man
While I'm a diggin' around up here
Sweatin' my [unverified] off in the attic
Trying to find the rabbit ears
The screen doors off the hinges
And there's a flat tire on the olds
And this GE fridgerator
Ain't keeping nothin' froze
We're falling apart together
Well, it's another flash light dinner
In the dark, mmm, hmm
When times get hard
We just shake us on a little more salt and pepper
Yeah, the good thing is we might be falling apart
But we're falling apart together
Well, I got me some good friends
That swing a hammer at a nail
But there ain't no houses going up
Ain't no checks in the mail
Well, the gas tanks might be empty
But the tail gates still full
We pass a guitar and a bottle around
Everybody take a pull
We're falling apart together
Well, it's another flash light dinner
In the dark, mmm, hmm
When times get hard
We just shake us on a little more salt and pepper
Yeah, the good thing is we might be falling apart
But we're falling apart together
These days ain't stayin' forever
They're gonna get better
But till they do
We'll be falling apart together
Well, it's another flash light dinner
In the dark, mmm, hmm
When times get hard
We'll just shake us on a little more salt and pepper
Yeah, the good thing is we might be falling apart
5AM at the Waffle House workers filing in
Strippers walking out
Truckers driving down the interstate
Doin coffee and pills cause they got bills to pay
And over the Brooklyn bridge a lady runs
Doing all she can to stay looking young
young
And underneath on a card board bed
A man sleeping with shoes under his head
Welcome to America x2
College kids shot gun and beer
A hobo prophet screaming end is near
A teenage girl in the bed of a truck
Cant help but think that this just might be love
Welcome to America x2
Tears streaming down a mothers face
When a folded flag comes home in her sons place
In a hospital room a new daddy cries
When he holds his baby girl for the first time
She opens up her eyes
Welcome to America x3
The houses lined up like dominos
High rises high as they can go
A Single Mom at the laundromat
Dropping every last quarter that she has
Grandmas making apple pies
Grandpas at the barber shop telling lies
Some's born to take life easy, I was born to live life on a dare
I never worried about the fall, y'all, just how high I got in the air
Flippin' dirt bikes and rollin' daddy's truck, the hit
The highs kept me smiling through the tears,
I'll take years off my life before I'll take life off my years
There are those who take it slow and steady, I aim to keep it between the lines
line up their ducks before they're ready, I'll have no regrets when it comes my time
Life's never dealt me any aces, but I'm all in double-down no fear
I'll take years off my life, before I take life off of my years
Town water towers and country quarries, no trespassing meant come on in
skydiving drunk, now there's your story, and giving that farmer's bull a spin
Ain't a fan of going slow around corners, stomp on the gas and grab another gear
Yeah' I'll take years off my life before I'll take life off my years
I love the view up on this high wire, oh, without a net down below
While most are running from the wildfires, I can't wait to get to close
What's the use of life if you don't live it? You sip your water I'll drink my beer?
Yeah, I'll take years off my life before I'll take life off of my years.
I'll take a couple years off of my life, before I take life off of my years
When you can look at her picture and not wanna kiss her no more,
when you don't feel like you've been hit by a train at the sound of her name no more
when you can drive down the road and not be afraid of what's being played on the radio...
That's when you'll know it's over
That's when you've made it
over to the other side, ready for another ride
That's when you'll know it's over
When the time of the year don't stir up any tears anymore
when it don't feel like the past is a gun and there's nowhere to run anymore
when it don't take every bone to not dial her number just leave her alone
That's when you'll know it's over
That's when you've made it
over to the other side, ready for another ride
That's when you'll know it's over
When you wouldn't go back, even if you could
when hearing' she's happy, finally feels good
That's when you'll know it's over
That's when you've made it
over to the other side, ready for another ride
That's when you'll know it's over
The feeling just hit, where did the time get to?
Some 31 days on the road, one more show to do
I'm standing on the side of the stage, about to walk on
I'll give them all that I have, Oh, then babe, I'm coming home
Give Me one more day baby
I'm almost on my way baby
I know how much you give
I know how much I take
and I know that one more day feels so long
and I feel it just as deep, honey just as strong
I know I tend to get lost in this world I live in
But nothing out here satisfies, yeah baby I know what I'm missing
So give me one one more day baby
Yeah, I'm almost on my way baby
Yeah give me one more day baby
Yeah, I know how much you give
I know how much I take…
Yeah, the feeling just hit, where did the time get to?
I'm staring out a crowd, but when I close my eyes, All I see is you.
All I see is you.
Friday, the week was long
can't wait to get my twist-off off
one sip and all the bull shish is gone
um-hmm, Hey, Freddie, I'm already ready
For another down here...beer
Saturday, mown the grass
some people think it's a pain in the back
Me, it's just another way to work up a thirst real fast
It's why I like to do her with a bungee strapped cooler
to my old john deere... beer
I like it ice cold, I take it with a lime,
Canadian, Mexican, Heineken, American, they're all friends of mine
I like it in a mug, in a bottle, in a cup, I like it with a shot
mmm! it hits the spot...Beer.
Sunday, football game, hot dog and a mustard stain, cussin' out the ref
but I guess I can't complain, I've got it made in the shade
Of a 60 inch Sony and my lazy boy chair...Beer
I like it ice cold, I take it with a lime,
Canadian, Mexican, Heineken, American, they're all friends of mine
I like it in a mug, in a bottle, or a cup, I like it with a shot
I like it when I'm fishin' on the lake, I like it when I'm wishing I was fishing on the lake...
Beer...I'll take it anyway I can get...beer, I may have a problem I'll admit it...beer
I ain't never gonna quit it...beer, it tastes good, it tastes too good...beer...
Hey Freddie, I'm already ready for another down here...beer
Well I remember friday nights,
We were full of bull natural light
Rockstars, under the parking lot lights
Killin' time in a little town
Window's tinted up, tailgates down
Running our mouths, riding up and down
Just looking for a fight
We heard all our stories a thousand times
Somebody go on and tell 'em again, ain't nobody gonna mind
Here's the good ole boy, the guitars that made the noise
And all the girls we annoyed, and the ones we kissed goodnight,
To trucks that drove us home, secrets we never told
And all the talks on old dirt roads that somehow changed our lives
Here's to the nights we won't remember and the friends we won't forget
Like I still smell the crawfish stand,
diving head first in the morning drink
Standing in the lake watching water skis go by,
Got a pretty on my shoulders and another pretty girl trying to push her over
My boys on the bank lettin the horseshoes fly
I can still see it now, all of us pilin' in our trucks and heading back into town
Here's the good ole boy, the guitars that made the noise
And all the girls we annoyed, and the ones we kissed goodnight,
To trucks that drove us home, secrets we never told
And all the talks on old dirt roads that somehow changed our lives
Here's to the nights we won't remember and the friends we won't forget
Here's to last call when we didn't care, holding' our shots up in the air
A bunch of reckless boys, man I swear, it's a wonder we survived
To trucks that drove us home, secrets we never told
And all the talks on old dirt roads that somehow changed our lives
Here's to the nights we won't remember
I know your thinking that you got me all figured out,
A music man like me ain't ever gonna settle down
And your just waintin for it
For a day that you'll convience me
Just the thought of weddin bells would make me wanna runaway
But all i can say is
Don't believe everything you think
Baby i might just have i ring in my pocket right
Now so settle on down girl
Reel that wild imigination in
Baby come on back to me again
Yeah that minds a funny thing
Don't believe everything you think
Everytime wer see another pretty girl go walking by
I see your wheels turning the way you whatch my eyes
Girl i don't know why
You let it cross your mind that i aint crazy over you
And i don't want all the very same things you do
Baby so all i'm gonna say is
Don't believe everything you think
Baby i might just have i ring in my pocket right
Now so settle on down girl
Reel that wild imigination in
Baby come on back to me again
Yeah that minds a funny thing
Don't believe everything you think
Girl you need to get a get on outta your head
and get on in to your heart instead like i said
Don't believe everything you think baby i might
Just have a ring in my pocket right now
So settle on down girl
Reel that wild imagination back in
Baby come on back to me again
Yeah that minds a funny thing don't believe everything you think
Open wide
Go to rest
Wait for my words
To explain your quest
No mistake
Not a trace
Seeing that you
Won't be failing the test
Rest in peace
No remorse
Let me connect
My soul to yours
Help me survive, see that I will not fade away
You have become what I needed to reach this day
I've forced my way
Let me stay
Don't let go
Teach me the things
You will need me to know
Take your time
I will give you mine
Give me the essence
That I need to grow
Rest in peace
No remorse
Let me connect
My soul to yours
Help me survive, see that I will not fade away
You have become what I needed to reach this day
I've forced my way
Take my crime
See the sands of time
Bring me home
Shut the door
Send me a glimpse
Of the future once more
Settle down
Go to rest
Sit back, relax
Let me enter the core
I've opened the door
Send your sign
Made of hate
Knowing how long
You've made me wait
Tasteful tear
Full of fear
Nowhere to flee
Hostile surroundings
Nourish-less soil
Taking its toll on my pride
Bittersweet feeling
Devouring beast
Eating its way from the inside
[Chorus]
Poisoning whatever's on my mind
Denying me to prosper
Closing in on all that lies behind
No use to fight this way
I try to sleep, but nothing gets me by
Repulsive thorn inside me forcing me to lie
Regret the future today
Thoughts are inutile
Ready to strike
Building on hopeless betrayal
Bipolar issues
Sneaking my way
Knowing that I will fail
Ripping me up with its venomous fang
Prospering on my despair
Sharing its secrets of pain yet to come
And no one but me can hear
Parasite of my desire to live
Controlling when I suffocate
Leaching on beauty
Nothing to give
Sight, what a terrible sight
Seeing my own demise
Worms crawl, maggots creeping
God, tell me that I am sleeping
I'm holding on in vain
You have killed again
Nursery rhymes off tune
Nothing can make it right
Letting go without a fight
He will kill again
She's supposed to light my way
Now this light blinds my eye
Senses down all is bleak
Why did you leave me dry?
Die! How could you kill like this?
Burning down all that's right
Why her smile? Why her life?
Speak to me, you have no right
Why did this have to be?
No colour meets my eye
And no tears left to dry
The beautified unspoken words make no sense
Deciphering the shallow mind's consequence
Just see to that all empty thoughts will duplicate
Leaving behind a shitload of things to hate
Re-using sampled values made for me
I buy your manufactured ways to be
Believe the loudest voice will know what's right
The power lies within the will to fight
Take your bets
Make a choice
Sing the song with my own voice
Sober truth
A lie begins
Take your place
Mediocrity wins
Seek comfort in the promise you'll never break
Be sure the ground you stand on isn't fake
Beware interpretations of your mind
By now I realize, at rest I'm blind
Tiresome disputation boring me
Ascending dullness growing exponentially
Digest the essence of what should have won
Antagonistic radical conviction
Given the chance to improvise something new
Driven by lust to free my mind from me and you
Directed inspiration taking over now
Turning my focus over from why to how
And I will never
Take your bets
Make a choice
Sing the song with my own voice
Sober truth
A lie begins
Take your place
Sight, what a terrible sight
Seeing my own demise
Worms crawl, maggots creeping
God, tell me that I am sleeping
I'm holding on in vain
You have killed again
Nursery rhymes off tune
Nothing can make it right
Letting go without a fight
He will kill again
She's supposed to light my way
Now this light blinds my eye
Senses down all is bleak
Why did you leave me dry?
Die! How could you kill like this?
Burning down all that's right
Why her smile? Why her life?
Speak to me, you have no right
Why did this have to be?
No colour meets my eye
And no tears left to dry
Pale aversion in fatal alliance
Scream for deliverance
Fake your own reverence
Drifting in and out, I won't lie
Insecure my visions blind my
Sight, my means, my faith, my view
I hate myself for trusting you!
Find the door, egress this white world
Tie these chains and link what's, take what's
Mine, what's yours, you're mine, not yours
Above discoloured vomit pours
Justification of violence of worst kind
I wish I knew it when,
White did not mean the end
When transfixion occurs as the first state
White is all that I see
This is how she came to be
No contradiction in warfare and worship
Sing me a lullaby
Since the dawn of society, there have reigned a
number of commandments one must obey to attain
social stability and uniformity.
The commandments are:
You shall not think that you ARE something.
You shall not think that you are equal to US.
You shall not think that you are wiser than US.
You shall not fancy yourself as better than US.
You shall not think that you know more than US.
You shall not think that YOU are good at anything.
You shall not laugh at US.
You shall not think that anyone cares about YOU.
You shall not think that you can teach US anything.
These norms and values have been used to oppress
the free thinkers, making sure that nobody uses their
Keep in absence of truth
My smile within this hollow
Trust in me like I trust this noose
You will never find out why
Fire bleeding from this picture of you
Hide from this unpleasant
I'd give you the ashes
Only I could find one reason to trust in you
Let me go now
Let go of my hand
Find your own place
I found my promised land
Sink if you will
I'll never comprehend
Sink if you will
I'll never come to your defence
Bury yourself
Inside your phantom pain
All the way down
See how much pity you'll gain
Fight your shadow
In this light you'll go blind
I have seen the face of
I wake to bleed another day
Dragging my anvil of pain
Betrayed, abandoned, rejected by life
My torment has branded its stain
At ease to leave this forsaken earth
My soul is awaiting my cry
Directing my lifeline away from its path
Soon is the moment I die
No way of sharing the pain that I feel
Disguising my plans to betray
Fire awaiting, my soul will be free
Tonight I'm passing away
How to live and how to bow
The lesson one must learn
Distinguish myself from your misery
Let's see now who will burn
All those who speak without a face
Now you'll remember my song
Before I was air, but not anymore
Something that'll last
Forever, but never. Let it grow
Hurt from the inside
No one's on your side
No one to care for
Everyone to blame
No one to care for
Not even a name
A dream is reappearing
In inversion
The mind is working
Against the body
Signals misinterpreted
Language lost
The mind is working
Against itself
Keep building till you reach the sky
Don't look back. Don't slow down
A dream is reappearing
Now is the time to shine
Everything inside
Keep holding back
Feel the chills down your spine
Let me break down
Your last will to deny
Put your life on the line
And surrender your past
Don't ask me why
You must submit to my fatal mind
And make it your own
I dare not lie
Come now, don't look behind
Let me see that you've grown
You are a waste of air
Made to please your own
You are not welcome here
Should be kept alone
You will never win
Never do you dare
You've let yourself in
Time to disappear
Burning flames are cold inside you
Yet heat makes you stronger
Lying until the lie is true
Can't hold it much longer
Unbearing like the sight of you
My eye is my traitor
Search to be somebody who
Rarely seen
As result of confidence
Gains derived from destruction
Two easy ways out will collide
Pick your fight
Stand you ground
Common way
Though unsound
Withered words
Say no more
Tend your wounds
End this war
Hostile tradition
Hard to convert
Primitive instinct to fight
Vindictive reason
Enmity profound
Fundamental spite
How many souls is success meant to pay?
Who will be left to take part?
Where can defeat be the final accord?
What will it do to your heart?
Withered words
Say no more
Tend your wounds
Time elapsing
Storm running out
Sorrow less beauty
Ready to doubt
Stronger than ever
Weak at the bone
Hide from the open
Turn into stone
Underneath a freezing winter
All alone
Superficial friendly gesture
Dead and gone
Spend my days searching places
To belong
Stranded in a painful detour
What went wrong?
Massive agenda
Shivering ground
Building a castle
Foundation unsound
Never suspected this beauty to be
Carving deeply into my stone
Gathering round me, yet feelings dilate
A new dimension of feeling alone
Simple surroundings
Complexity near
Not what it seems like
You lay awake at night
But stay in your bed
Trying to undermine the voice in your head
Knowing you ought to, but still find a reason
Silently laying low
Morbid fear will justify your treason
Look the other way to see
Comfort in the pain to be
The end of a life is close at hand
You're standing tall
Keep out of trouble
Do your worst
Do nothing at all
Keeping watch
Seeing ghosts
Drifting out of sight
Laying low
Covered in
Dark and dead cold night
A cry for help
The help is near
You sing a song so you can't hear
Upon your touch a death undone
May cause a strain
Agonizing death has won
Lack of remorse
No help to give
Lack of remorse
No help to find
Reeking betrayal
No reaching hand
Reeking betrayal
Black stains on broken glass
On the last day of November
Immerse beauty by the trail
Of the last scene I remember
A cry for help
A pair of drained eyes
Nowhere to turn
Unable to rise
A scenic verse
Of an old Rhyme
Justifying
The sinful crime
Time passes no longer by
No rest found in concrete soil
Image burned to my eyes
Black stains and skin to boil
Smoke forming a pillow dark
For the child to rest in silence
Black skin on bruised hand
Infant emerged of violence
A flower in full bloom
Cut by a fragment of glass
Touch her skin
And watch it bleed
Taste the words
Injurious seed
Naked walls
Cold, piercing light
Left to rot
This starlit night
Harmful lies
Tied round her neck
In the eyes
All life has drowned
Little feeble one
Close your heart
You have shown faith again
Close your heart
Look away this time
Close your heart
Shut your feelings down
Close your heart
A new start won’t bring her back
This is where I turn into
God love me I know that he
Feel the cold stare
One who would dare
Decomposed leaf
It came to grief
I shove the bricks of life,
Down my throat
I hope this time I'll choke
At last, it awoke
No light through blackened eyes
I still breathe
Drowning in filth and lies
Hungry jaws to feed
As he whispered secrets
Into ears of the deaf
Truth were lectured
By the tongues of the mute
Feel the cold eye stare from the
Dark wood noise from the heart of
I throw myself up
I peel off my skin
In piles of faith
Dive deep into the
Subconscious layers
Be careful not to sink
Stay out, be free
Don't enter this abyss
That's where I go to think
Enjoy the restrictions
Be glad you can feel the sting
Silent compassion
Won't lead to anything
Out of the dark
Nowhere to start
Tainted words
Pieces apart
Acquired taste
In control of it all
What were you thinking?
As if you can put an end to this
Rest now, tomorrow
You can make it all OK
Prepare a day you will not miss
Bring forth your gift
Made from pure belief
Be sure no one finds out
Be sure no one finds out why
Stay in the cold
You will see
Someone else will leave your mark
To be sold
So you're free
