They bought me some crown, tequila, and Jack,
And I've been drinking cold beer by the 12 pack,
Please excuse me if I'm getting kinda loose,
If you really wanna know I'll tell ya the truth.
I don't like to drink too much, I just hang out with people that do,
And every time I'm with my friends, they always buy me a few,
You know, I don't like to drink too much, it just goes down so damn smooth
I stop thinking when we start drinking, that's just what the hell we do
I was born in Big Spring Texas, I was raised on truth and faith,
But I got in my share of trouble you know I don't profess to be a saint.
And through the years I've collected myself a bunch
of good friends that got my back
But every time I go out with them, I don't know where I'll wake up at.
You know, I don't like to drink too much I just hang
out with people that do,
And every time I'm with my friends, they always buy me a few,
You know, I don't like to drink too much, it just goes down so damn smooth
Well I stop thinking when we start drinking,
that's just what the hell we do
Well bars are trouble, and parties are double and at
a bonfire I'll get lit
Don't get me started, about a 12 pack in, you know I won't give a shit.
Down here in Texas, we roll em right, and we're always willing to share,
So if my boys from Oklahoma ever run dry,
you know they're always welcome here.
You know, I don't like to drink too much I just hang
out with people that do,
And every time I'm with my friends, they always buy me a few,
You know, I don't like to drink too much, it just goes down so damn smooth
I stop thinking when we start drinking, that's just what the hell we do
Well I remember my very first beer, I was hanging out with my dad,
He let me try his cold Bud Light, I said man that's where it's at,
I've had myself a bunch of hangovers,
and I've been passed out on a lot of floors,
But I've slowly learned the best cure for that,
is just to wake up and drink some more.
You know, I don't like to drink too much I just hang
out with people that do,
And every time I'm with my friends, they always buy me a few,
You know, I don't like to drink too much, it just goes down so damn smooth
Well I stop thinking when we start drinking,
Well, I can try ten where we went wrong
I'm sure that it would make a great country song
But I wouldn't want to have to re-hash it
Every time I sang along
Well, I been drinkin' every night
To numb my pain
Some would say it a hundred proof
Could fuel a flame
You strike a match
And your thoughts will ignite
It's the way you dumped me
Well, it's just like rot
(I'm gonna) (You gotta) light a bonfire
Burn it to the ground
Stack it high with bad memories
(And) (Then) all the things that let 'ya down
You gotta light a bonfire
Burn it to the ground
Let 'em go all those broken dreams
And the nightmare'll be hell-bound
(All right)
Lord, 'ya know I loved you
But I still got burned
You never see it comin'
That's a lesson I learned
It could blind-side 'ya so damn quick
Hits 'ya like a ton 'a bricks
Well, I finally figured out
You just let it go
Like ashes in the wind
You just let 'em blow
You torch those mem'ries
You know what I mean
Think of your lighter and some mental gasoline
(I'm gonna) (You gotta) light a bonfire
Burn it to the ground
Stack it high with bad memories
(And) (Then) all the things that let 'ya down
You gotta light a bonfire
Burn it to the ground
Let 'em go all those broken dreams
And the nightmare'll be hell-bound
(All right)
Let fire in your mind
Burn hot as the sun
Take a couple shots of whiskey
Hell! Just for fun
One more thing:
Yeah! I'm talking some trash
Before I torch your memory
Well, kiss my...
You gotta light a bonfire
Burn it to the ground
Stack it high with bad memories
Then all the things that let 'ya down
You gotta light a bonfire
Burn it to the ground
Let 'em go all those broken dreams

You know that we'll be singing all night,
I work as hard as I play, got two dam days,
To do it my way, I bust my butt all week,
But the weekend always makes it alright,
That's the story of my life,
A couple miles, we're almost there, smack dab in the middle of nowhere,
Well this ol place will always feel like home,
Man this town has really changed, but I swear it feels the same, all up and down these roads we'd roam, I wanna show you, the livin that I've done, just let me show you, where it is that I come from, right here,
This is where I discovered love, and where I learn about the one above, and where I was young and crazy,
This is where I became a man, I faced those demons and I took my stand, and where I learned your heart could be broken
And this is where it all went down,
This is my ol' Stompin Ground.
Over there is where I played ball, man I felt about ten feet tall, when I came up to bat they'd all back up,
And there we'd hide by the light of the moon, and hit the cars with our water balloons, and right there is where I rolled my truck,
I wanna show you, the livin that I've done, just let me show you, where it is that I come from, it's right here,
This is where I discovered love, and where I learn about the one above, and where I was young and crazy, this is where I became a man, I faced those demons and I took my stand, and where I learned your heart could be broken,
And this is where it all went down,
This is my ol' Stompin Ground.
I'll never lose those feelings or memories, there a part of me, my legacy, it's my history,
This is where I learned to fight, and I felt the heat until I saw the light, and where I learned that sometimes you don't win,
This is where I found my best friend, we stuck together through thick and thin, I can't believe the things we did back then,
This is where I discovered love, and where I learn about the one above, and where I was young and crazy,
And this is where it all went down,
This is my ol' Stompin Ground, my Stompin Ground
I hear the city waking up, scurrying on the run
I wrap my arms around you, I don't want the day to come
There's drops of water on the window and the clock says time to roll
Kiss your neck, breathe in your hair, I don't wanna rise and go
Cause the world out there is cold hard and blue, and I'm still warm with you
The wind hits me between the eyes, I pull my hat down low
I work my way through rain and hail, mud, sleet and slow
It' might not be here with me, but I've tucked you in my heart
And I keep your flame burning there while we're apart
Even when I'm alone, it's true, that I'm still warm with you
Tough as nails, sharp as ice, this old cruel world can cut you hard
Leave you bitter cold, sad and froze, you can build a fire
but you still need a spark to warm your heart
Thoughts of rivers and a scorching sun and the smell of green grass
Longing for those days again with the butterflies blowing past
Maybe I could rescue us, we could set sail for the sun
But even this old dead gray world will come back, she ain't done
I'm feeling lost searching for a clue, I'm still warm with you
When I bottom out and lord knows I do
Momma I've missed you, don't worry about me, I'm just living, I wish you, could come and see me,
Yeah I've been a little lonely, but please I really don't need, your sympathy,
Yeah I still feel it, she broke my heart you know that time will heal it, I've done some crying yeah
Well I admit it, but if you see her make dam sure, that you say,
I'm just fine, and I'm down here living reckless in Texas,
And I intend to stay, yeah I'll get by, out here living reckless in Texas,
And I think these just might be, the good ol days,
Well I found some work out here, swinging a hammer, well it don't pay much, about ten bucks an hour,
Well I sweat all day, then come home and shower, then I throw a bottle down and go to town,
Well I still miss her, and what we could of had, it makes me angry, sometimes I get so mad,
But momma promise, you won't tell her that I still get sad, just tell here,
I'm just fine, I'm down here living reckless in Texas,
And I intend to stay, yeah I'll get by, out here living reckless in Texas,
And I think these just might be, the good ol days,
I'm just trying to get myself together, I've been through some hard times and stormy weather,
Women and whiskey, make me feel a little better sometimes,
But I don't know what I feel,
And I don't know if I will,
And I don't know if I still,
Know what I am doing here,
But I'm just fine, and I'm out here living reckless in Texas,
And these are the good ol days, yeah I'll get by, out here living reckless in Texas,
Wouldn't have it any other way, yeah I'm just fine, I'm out here living reckless in Texas,
And I intend to stay, yeah I'll get by, out here living reckless in Texas,
Well I'm the first to tell you, that I'm not a perfect guy,
Yeah I've got my share of problems, well hell I won't lie,
I know beggars can't be choosers, but some things just won't fly,
And this search for a loving companion, is just getting to dam demanding,
If she's all take, and there's no give, if she's just way to sensitive,
If all she wants, is money to spend, well asta la vista do you comprehend,
And if she cheats man, you can take her, cause that's a Deal Breaker,
And I know there's some good girls, dealing with some lousy guys,
Maybe we can get together, swap stories, and sympathize,
It's just a game of luck you know, but sometime I don't wanna try,
Cause I've tried my best at dealing, but now I'm just not willing,
If she's all take, and there's no give, if she's just way to sensitive,
If all she wants, is money to spend, well asta la vista do you comprehend,
And if she cheats man, you can take her, cause that's a Deal Breaker,
I'm not looking for a perfect ten, I just need somebody who loves me,
The kind of girl you take home to momma, someone who won't use me and burn me,
And this search for a loving companion, is just getting to dam demanding,
If she's all take, and there's no give, if she's just way to sensitive,
If all she wants, is money to spend, well asta la vista do you comprehend,
If she's all looks, and there's no brains, if all she does is fuss and complain,
If she don't believe, if she tells lies, if she won't let me hang with the guys,
And if she cheats man, well you can take her, cause that's a deal breaker, I said a deal breaker,
Well that's a Deal Breaker, I said a Deal Breaker,
Swear to God, I'll catch ya if you fall,
and in my arms, we could have it all,
I feel alive, every time I'm near you, well do you feel the same,
as the wind blows through,
carrying the dust, of a dream, that I hope you dream with me,
I'm feeling like a ghost, of a man, can you see, understand,
If you need a place to fall, then fall right into me,
If you finally see the light, and realize that you need, you need, you need me,
If you need a place to fall, then fall right into me, I promise you I'll catch you,
If you fall,
So fall for me.
I know you have, a million thoughts inside your mind,
and soon it will be clear, well it just takes time,
I am waiting here, for you, and nothing less will do,
you've gotten in my heart, my soul, open arms, don't you know,
If you need a place to fall, then fall right into me,
If you finally see the light, and realize that you need, you need, you need me,
If you need a place to fall, then fall right into me, I promise you I'll catch you,
If you fall,
So fall for me.
I will be your home, your love, your all,
A safe place to fall, if you would see, try me, don't you know,
that lately I've been feeling like a ghost, of a man, can you see, understand,
If you need a place to fall, then fall right into me,
If you finally see the light, and realize that you need, you need, you need me,
If you need a place to fall, then fall right into me, I promise you I'll catch you,
If you fall,
This heat is about to get to me,
It's been fifty six days over a hundred degrees,
And it's kinda' got into my head,
My attitude is barely a little on the edge!
That girl... get out of here,
I'm talking about a river and a cooler, a beer,
And I don't think we need nothing else,
Just cheap... good looking South!
Chorus:
I'm going off to the South stay on a cool river,
I'm gonna keep a drink in my hand
And I can't remember what it was that
I couldn't get off my mind.
Well, here we are, welcome to the good time!
Last one here is got a bar...
So grab me another one I'm ready again,
Girl, that bikini, sure looks nice,
I really like the way it brings out your eyes!
Come over here, and give me a kiss,
The laughter ...don't get no better than this,
Sorry for being stressed the last few days,
Thank God this water takes it away!
Chorus:
I'm going off to the South stay on a cool river,
I'm gonna keep a drink in my hand
And I can't remember what it was that
I couldn't get off my mind.
I'm gonna go with the flow wherever it takes me,
I gotta drift away now and again,
I gotta get free,
Like the clouds in the sky,
With a pretty girl I don't mind!
Well, here we are, welcome to the good time!
I ain't never gonna leave,
Don't sit right here, in the shade of the ...trees!
Click it out loud I love that song,
I got the whole damn river singing along,
And I wonder ... could we go,
You always told me I should be more spontaneous, well how about we pick up and move,
I know it's kinda sudden, I don't care were we go, just as long as I'm with you,
we might be on the edge of something great, well are we gonna make this happen, or just sit around and wait,
Are we doing this, well are we gonna jump in,
Are we doing this, well then it's time to begin,
It's moments like these, that you don't wanna miss, are you with me, it's time to confess,
Are we doing this,
Well come along with me and take my hand, on the cliffs high above the lake, yeah I know it sounds crazy,
but lets jump in as her legs started to shake,
standing on the edge of something great, are we gonna make this happen, or sit around and wait,
Are we doing this, well are we gonna jump in,
Are we doing this, well then it's time to begin,
It's moments like these, that you don't wanna miss, are you with me, it's time to confess,
Are we doing this,
you can't think about these things to long,
you just have to take a chance, right or wrong,
now here we are two young lovers in Vegas, standing on the White Chapel steps, feeling kind of nervous,
and living on the edge, like a game of real life roulette,
from where I'm standing it feels like fate, are we gonna make this happen, or sit around and wait,
Are we doing this, well are we gonna jump in,
Are we doing this, well then it's time to begin,
It's moments like these, that you don't wanna miss, are you with me, it's time to confess,
Are we doing this,
