I got a hard head, I get that from my dad
And I can overreact maybe just a tad
I put up walls to show the world I'm tough
When i don't get my way, I get difficult
But when it comes to lovin' me
Baby you make it look so easy
You're my refuge from the road
A safe place to go
When I'm out here livin' on this ledge
And when I'm circlin' the drain
You keep my crazy sane
And quiet all the voices in my head
I'm probably wrong more than I say
And I'd point that out if you were that way
Yeah I'm hard to love and ever harder to live with
And I know there's days when you just want to up and quit
But when it comes to lovin' me
Baby you make it look so easy
You're my compass when I'm lost
My anchor when I get tossed
And the right way when all I can do is wrong
Sometimes I drink 'til I fall down
but your arms save me from the ground
And hold me 'til all the hurt is gone
I got a hard head, I was born that way
And that makes me wrong more than I say
But I thank God you got a hard head too
I guess he must have known you'd need that
To get us through
'Cause when it comes to lovin' me
Baby you make it look so easy
Without you here everything's in black and white
Without you here I'm upside down
Without you here honey I'm a melody
Living in a world that can't hear sound
If these boots could fit a railroad track I'd be gone and never look back
If my thumb could flag a wild wind down
I'd lean back and let it blow me around
And try to land anywhere other than without you here
Without you here every breath is wasted
Without you here I'm just a ghost
Without you here I'm stranded at the station
And my mind caught the last train for the coast
If this truck were a time machine I'd rev it up and let it carry me
Light years away or on down the line
I'd give the shirt off my back or my last dime
If it can take me anywhere other than without you here
There's roads and sky, boats and wine
A million ways to leave you behind
I don't know where but there's still life out there
Not without you here, not without you here
'Cause without you here everything's in black and white
Without you here I'm upside down
Without you here honey I'm a melody
It was my senior year, I just turned eighteen
I was a Friday night hero with division one dreams
I had an offer on the table, a four year ride
'Til that fourth and two, and twenty four dive
And I left on a stretcher, wound up on a crutch
Walked on that next summer, wound up getting cut
I flipped off that coach, left that school in the dust
For letting my dreams go bust
But I thank God I ain't what I almost was
Yeah, I moved on back home and came awful close
To being some son-in-law to some CEO
Coulda been a corner office, country club, suit and tie man
Answerin' to no one but her and him
I ran out on his money, ran out on her love
At four in the mornin' I loaded my truck
I left my home town in a big cloud of dust
I just had to follow my gut
And I thank God I ain't what I almost was
Guitar town, I bought this old Epi-phone
Started stringin' chords and words into songs
I've been puttin' in time on Sixteenth Avenue
Pourin' out my heart for tips on a stool
I ain't makin' a killin' but then there's those nights
When the song comes together and hits them just right
The crowds on their feet 'cause they can't get enough
Of this music I make and I love
And I thank God I ain't, yeah, I thank God I ain't
She was pacing back and forth on her front porch
I pulled up slinging gravel in my Daddy's Ford
She cried all the way to Johnson's store
I kept the motor running and parked by the door
Yeah I was foolish and wild
she was classic and regal
we were fresh out of school, both barely legal
we were young and on fire and just couldn't wait
six weeks in, she was three weeks late
one means none and we're home free
two means three and a diamond ring
yeah i wonder what fate is gonna decide
we're just sittin around waiting on two pink lines
sitting around waiting on two pink lines
yeah her Daddy's gonna kill me and thats a fact
maybe we'll just leave town and never come back
or I could stand there and tell him
face him like a man
oh who am I kidding, he'll never understand
yeah thats second hand just keeps slowing down
i swear it stopped twice the last time around
yeah we'll know the truth in three minutes time
we're just sittin around waiting on two pink lines
sitting around waiting on two pink lines
hot summer nights, whispering her name
under the blanket by the river bank
hearts beating fast we never thought twice
but she pulled me close and i held on tight
when the moment of truth finally comes
she gives me a look and then comes undone
she says looks like were lucky
someones smiling down
she grabs her coat and says see ya around
yeah these days the rabbit doesn't die
you just sit around waiting on two pink lines
praying that fate is on your side
sitting around waiting on two pink lines
These boots have counted off many a band
Playing one night roadhouse stands
For tips in empty rooms
These boots have stood toe-to-toe
With the biggest baddest Joes
Like they had some things to prove
These boots
These boots more than once saved my ass
Like the time they hid in the grass
From those cops in Tupelo
And these boots have danced with the devil
And nearly lost that battle to Wild Irish Rose
Chorus:
I've wore out more soles then I'd care to count
Done more stupid things than most would dare to
I've kicked myself more times than not
For the roads they led me down
But the damnedest thing I've ever seen 'em do is walkin' out on you
These boots had to see California
And an Arizona morning
Where god paints the sky
And these boots had to spur that beast in Cheyenne
Though that bull made me a real man
I still drag that leg sometimes
(Repeat Chorus)
Now these boots are one step from the door
They walked out of years before
I can almost see her now
These boots ought kick that door aside
Stomp out my foolish pride
But they just turn around
Damn these boots...Damn these boots
I remember waitin' by the curb with Mr. Murphy
When daddy picked me up from school his eyes were red
We drove to the hospital in a hurry
Where my family gathered 'round my grandpa's bed
He was my best friend, he taught me how to fish
And I cried listenin' to my daddy pray
For one of those I've loved along the way
She had a ribbon in her hair the day I met her
That whole next year we couldn't get enough
After graduation she took off for Denver
And for a while we both tried to keep in touch
She was my best friend and it broke my heart
But I don't regret the day that she became
One of those I've loved along the way
And I hope they know I never would've made it this far on my own
'Cause where would we all be without those
Fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers
The friends I've made, the long lost lovers
I wouldn't be who I am today
If not for those I've loved along the way, along the way
Now I'm just a country boy with a guitar
Lookin' back down this old road I've been travelin' on
It was never about tryin' to be some big star
For me it's always been about these songs
You see they're my best friends, they're the life I live
And I hope they've put a smile on the face
Of those that I've loved along the way
'Cause I wouldn't be the man I am today
Only fools would race down Gristmill Road
Let alone in angry weather
That's what I tell everyone I know
Now that I know better
That's a lesson I wish I would have learned
Without having to watch my Mustang burn
Before my best buddy had to wind up hurt
And his whole life was changed
That's a lesson I wish I didn't learn
The hard way
Only a fool would keep a diamond ring
In a box on the top of his closet
He came so close, he almost asked
It was right there in his pocket
That's a lesson I wish I would have learned
Before standing in the back row of that church
Watching her daddy givin' her
To the man who took my place
That's a lesson I wish I didn't learn
The hard way
Regrets been known to give a man a beatin'
But I ain't in the mood for fighting back this evening
Only fools don't take the time of day
They stay too busy running
To stop just once and tell their dad
Just how much they love him
That's a lesson I wish I would have learned
Before the phone call came and it was her
No, Mama never had to say a word
I knew it was too late
That's a lesson I wish I didn't learn
The hard way... The hard way
To this day when I hear that song
I see you standin' there on that lawn
Discount shades, store bought tan,
Flip flops and cut off jeans
Somwhere between that setting sun
I'm on fire and born to run
You looked at me and I was done
Well, we're just getting started
I was singin' to you, you were singin' to me
I was so alive, never been more free
Fired up my daddy's lighter and sang Oh-h-h-h-h-h
Stayed there 'til they forced us out
Took the long way to your house
I canstill hear the sound of you saying don't go
When I think about you, I think about 17,
I think about my old jeep
I think about the stars in the sky
Funny how a melody sounds like a memory
Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night
Springsteen.
I bumped into you by happenstance
You probably wouldn't even know who I am
But if I, whispered your name
I bet there'd still be a spark
Back when I was gasoline
And this old tattoo had brand new ink
And we didn't care what your momma'd think
About your name on my arm
Baby is it spring or is it summer
The guitar sounds or the beat of the drummer
You hear sometimes late at night
On your radio
Even though you're a million miles away
When you hear Born in the USA
You relive those glory days
So long ago
When you think about me, do you think about 17
Do you think about my old jeep,
Think about the stars in the sky
Funny how a melody, sounds like a memory
Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night
Springsteen
Springsteen
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Woah-oh-oh-oh, Woah-oh-oh-oh, Oh-h-h-h (x2)
Funny how a melody sounds like a memory,
LIke soundtrack to a July Saturday night,
Springsteen
Springsteen
Oh, Springsteen.
Turn the quiet up, turn the noise down
Let this ol' world just spin around
I wanna feel it swing, wanna feel it sway
And put some feel good in my soul
Drink a little drink, smoke a little smoke
Want a little more right and a little less left
Little more right now, a little less what's next
Act like tomorrow's ten years away
And just kick back and let the feelin' flow
Drink a little drink, smoke a little smoke
I set my sails for a new direction
But the wind got in my way
I changed my course but my definition of change
Just ain't the same
I'm gonna sit around here, stay away from there
I'm gonna make pretend I just don't care
I could get up, go get her back
Or maybe I'll just let her go
Drink a little drink, smoke a little smoke, yeah
Yeah, go get her back
Drink a little drink, smoke a little smoke
Drink a little drink, smoke a little smoke
Kick back, give the blues spin
Break out the wine, forget again
Dig down deep, find my stash
Light it up, take me back
Kick back, give the blues spin
Break out the wine, just forget again
Dig down deep, find my stash
Light it up, memory crash
Oh no, I don't know, baby, might take all night
Better maybe break out that old rock and roll
Drink a little drink, smoke a little smoke
I was fifteen when my daddy's old man
Caught me half way through my first beer
He laughed so hard when my face turned green
He said, ?You come from a long line of sinners like me?
Now me and my brother go to see him some times
But he don't have much to say anymore
So we sit on his headstone with a fifth of Jack D
Here's to a long line of sinners like me
La de dah, de dah, la de dah, dah de, de
I come from a long line of sinners like me
My mama had a soft spot for a hell raisin' boy
So she had two more just like him
It takes an Angel to raise a family
That comes from a long line of sinners like me
Well, now maybe who knows one day I'll settle down
Give my dad a grandson of his own
And when the doctor smacks him, he'll probably take a swing
'Cause he'll come from a long line of sinners like me
La de dah, de dah, la de dah, dah de, de
I come from a long line of sinners like me
On the day I die, I know where I'm gonna go
Me and Jesus got that part worked out
I'll wait at the gates 'til his face I see
And stand in a long line of sinners like me
I'll stand in a long line of sinners like me
La de dah, de dah, la de dah, dah de, de
I come from a long line of sinners like me
La de dah, de dah, la de dah, dah de, de
Here?s to a long line of sinners like me
I come from a long line of sinners like me
I'm a long gone Waylon song on vinyl.
I'm a back row sinner at a tent revival.
She believes in me like she believes her Bible.
She loves me like Jesus does.
I'm a left foot leaning on a souped up Chevy.
I'm a good ole boy drinkin' whiskey and rye on the levee.
But she carries me when my sins get too heavy.
She loves me like Jesus does.
All the crazy in my dreams,
both my broken wings,
every single piece of everything I am.
She knows the man I ain't,
she forgives me when I can't.
That devil, man, he don't have a chance.
She loves me like Jesus does.
I always thought she'd give up on me someday.
Wash her hands of me leave me staring down some runway.
But I thank God each night and twice on Sunday
that she loves me like Jesus does.
All the crazy in my dreams,
both my broken wings,
every single piece of everything I am.
She knows the man I ain't,
she forgives me when I can't.
That devil man, he don't have a prayer.
She loves me like Jesus does.
Yeah she knows the man I ain't.
She forgives me when I can't.
That devil, man, he don't stand a chance.
Cause she loves me like Jesus does.
(feat. Merle Haggard)
There's a little dive on a dead-end road
Called the Cross-Eyed Cricket Waterin' Hole
Where you can hear the sound of a steel guitar
An' get loud an' rowdy with PBR
But at the top of every hour, man, you can hear a pin drop
As ol' Jack drops a quarter an' plays Merle on that jukebox, an' we stop
Chorus:
An' tip our hats
An' raise our glasses of cold, cold beer
They say country's fadin'
But we still wavin' that flag around here
An' when it's time to go, you know you're welcome back
Where the people pledge allegiance to the Hag
When the weekend comes an' the weather's clear
There's a high spot fifteen miles from here
Where you can always find a few dusty trucks
With the windows down an' the radio up
We sit there poppin' tops, shootin' bull an' singin' songs
But you can bet your boots that when Haggard comes on
(Repeat Chorus)
One of these days when my time has come
You can take me back to where I'm from
Put me on a westbound train
An' ship me off in the pourin' rain
Don't cry for me when I'm gone
Just put a quarter in the jukebox an' sing me back home
An' tip our hats
An' raise our glasses of cold, cold beer
They say country's fadin'
But just keep wavin' that flag around here
An' I know, it'll keep on comin' back
Long as people pledge allegiance
Where folks still pledge allegiance
It's over when it's over
Aint it baby, Aint it
Rips ya like a dagger,
Can it baby, Can it
Wish we could do it over
Damn it baby, Damn it
We had it in the air, we just couldnt land it
It's the first snap, of the last straw,
Where regrets outlast the alcohol
It's a cold sweat, in an empty bed,
And dreams are like a knife,
When you're hangin by a thread
And no, maybe we can make it if we just play,
The right cards.
Now it's over when it's over
Aint it baby, Aint it
Rips ya like a dagger,
Can it baby, Can it
Wish we could do it over
Damn it baby, Damn it
We had it in the air, but just couldnt land it
It's a white flag,
It's a stop sign,
It's the last long drag, on a marlboro light
It's a long night, beatin up the past
Now when the first lie, is gonna hit you back
This aint no gone for drill,
Or no goodbye for tomorrow, it's over.
Yeah it's over,
Yeah it's ovver.
There aint no better way,
We could make it work
It's a blank page,
When you're outta words.
Yeah it's a flat line,
It's a heart attach
Yeah it's too far gone, to be shocked back
It's a one way, with nowhere to turn
It's a no breaks, baby, crash and burn
Aint no map, gonna ever bring us back
From where we are.
It's just over when it's over
Aint it baby, Aint it
Rip ya like a dagger,
Can it baby, Can it
Wish we could do it over
Damn it baby, Damn it
I love sleeping in on Saturdays
And I love college football games
I love not acting my age
And good barbeque
Yeah I'm a fan of all the books
And anything my mama cooks
Smallmouth bass have got me hooked
On Sunday afternoon
Yes I love good cold beer
And mustard on my fries
I love a good loud honky tonk
That rocks on Friday night
And hell yes I love my truck
But I want you to know
Honey I love your love the most
Man I love how Redman tastes
And damn I love my Nascar race
Any song sung by George Strait
Is country at it's best
Yes I love good cold beer
And mustard on my fries
I love a good loud honky tonk
That rocks on Friday nights
And hell yes I love my truck
But I want you to know
Honey I love your love the most
I love
Yeah I love scuffed up cowboy boots
And broken tore up jeans
A four wheel drive, eight point bucks
And rocky road ice cream
And hell yes I love my dog
And Jack D in my coke
But honey I love your love
Yeah I love your love
I love your love the most
I love your love the most
Get-ups, gimmicks
One hit wonders that don't stick
Pretty boys acting tough
Boy bands give it up
And if it looks good on TV
It'll look good on a CD
Shape it up, trim it down
Who gives a damn 'bout how it sounds
I don't think Waylon done it that way
And if he was here he'd say Hoss, neither did Hank
I ain't dogging what you're doing
But boys come on let's get real
You still got a lotta boot left to fill
You say you're the real deal
But you play what nobody feels
You sing about Johnny Cash
The man in black would've whipped your ass
I don't think Waylon done it that way
And if he was here he'd say Hoss, neither did Hank
I ain't dogging what you're doing
But boys come on let's get real
You still got a lotta boot left to fill
So so long 'til I see you again
When you're laying in the bargain bin
Well I don't think Waylon done it that way
And if he was here he'd say Hoss, neither did Hank
I ain't dogging what you're doing
But then again, hell yes I am
I just don't give a damn
'Cause you still got a lotta boot left to fill
Honey, honey
Honey you still prey on my mind
I tried thumbin', a freight train jumpin'
Baby nothin' leaves you behind
So I jump up find me a mountain
Shake of the sheep I been countin'
Chase that sun 'til it runs out of sky
And if your memory's still too strong
I'll keep movin' on and get longer gone
Now there are those who
Swear that I belong in a padded room
'Cause I can't sleep, baby you keep
Creepin' up like the light of a crescent moon
So I jump up find me a mountain
Shake of the sheep I been countin'
Chase that sun 'til it runs out of sky
And if your memory's still too strong
I'll keep movin' on and get longer gone
It would be easy if I never loved you
I found someone new but until I do
I jump up find me a mountain
Shake of the sheep I been countin'
Chase that sun 'til it runs out of sky
And if your memory's still too strong
I'll keep movin' on and get longer
And get longer gone, longer gone
Honey, honey
One, two
One, two, three

An? I won?t be back for a while

With a big sun droppin? in a blue sky

On the livin? part of life

An? keep that money rollin? in
They say, keepin? up with the feelies, boy
You can?t back off one inch
But I been puttin? in my time

I?m gonna spend some, maybe waste some
Before my time comes an? I wind up dead

Hang a sign on the door of my life
Tell the world that I?ve gone missin?

Kick back an' get high
On the livin?, the livin' part of life
Yeah, bop, bop
Bop, bop, bop, bop
Yeah, that one was right
I'm a long gone Waylon song gone by,
I'm a backroads sinner at a tent revival,
She believes in me like she believes her bible,
And loves me like Jesus does.
I'm a left foot leaning on a suped up Chevy,
I'm a good ol' boy, drinking whiskey and rye on the levee,
But she carries me, when my sings make me heavy,
And she loves me like Jesus does.
All the crazy in my dreams,
Both my broken wings,
Every single piece of everything I am,
Yeah, she knows the man I ain't,
She forgives me when I can't,
And the devil man, he don't stand a chance,
Cause she loves me like Jesus does.
Always thought she'd give up on me one day,
Wash her hands of me, leave me staring down some runway,
Yeah, I thank God each night, and twice on Sunday,
That she loves me like Jesus does.
All the crazy in my dreams,
Both my broken wings,
Every single piece of everything I am,
Yeah, she knows the man I ain't,
She forgives me when I can't,
And the devil man, he don't stand a chance,
Cause she loves me like Jesus does
Yeah, she knows the man I ain't,
She forgives me when I can't,
And the devil man, he don't stand a chance,
Cause she loves me like Jesus does.
These four walls of Fort Worth
Are closin' in on me
My final meter's over
An' they're gonna set me free
I can feel the fire's a burnin'
As the devil guards my door
I hit my knees in search of Jesus
On a cold jail house floor
Lord, now I'm singin', "Get me out of here"
I see the preacher's eyes
As my daughter cries
When they strap me in this chair
Lord, I hope she forgives me
For livin' my life this way
Tonight I ride the lightning
To my final judgment day
'Every life owes a debt'
That's what the Bible says
I owe mine to this state
For shootin' that boy to death
A liquor store at ten
He was reachin' for his gun
Well, now his Momma sits there smilin'
As the bar shifts roll on one
And now I'm singin', "Get me out of here"
I see the preacher's eyes
As my daughter cries
When they strap me in this chair
Lord, I hope she forgives me
For leavin' her this way
Tonight I ride the lightning
To my final restin' place
A hungry blue eyed baby cryin'
Made me rob that store
An' as that boy lay there dyin'
I dropped my pistol on the floor
Yeah, I'd take it all back
But there's nothin' I can do
They've covered my face
An' the order's gone through
As the bar shifts roll on two
Now I'm flyin'
Up an' out of here
I close my eyes an' slowly rise
Let my body leave this chair
Lord, I hope you forgive me
For livin' my life this way
Yeah, tonight I ride the lightning
To my final restin' place
These four walls of Fort Worth
Verse 1
Yeah I see you over there makin' eyes at me
Like you don't wanna get caught
Where'd you get the cowboy on your arm
And where you want me to drop him off
I see you tryin' to hide that fire inside
But your hold me back's almost gone
Yeah it's about time I let cowboy know
That I'm a gonna take you home
Chorus 1
Yeah so keep on lookin' at me that way
That way we can move this along
I can tell yout what I got here on my mind
But I think you already know
Yeah and now's the time for you to turn around
If you want me to walk away
Or you can keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on lookin' at me that way
Verse 2
Yeah I can tell by the way I took your hand
And then asked you to dance
He went all John Wayne in front of his friends
And said I don't think so man
Yeah all blowed up like a loud mouth pup
Never been in a junkyard fight
But if you're gonna bark at the big dog boy
Then you're gonna get to feel the bite
Chorus 2
Yeah so keep on lookin' at me that way
That way we can move this along
I can finish sweepin' her off her pretty little feet
And your buddies can carry you home
You can back off and let her dance with me
And live to fight another day
Or you can keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on lookin' at me that way
Verse 3
Yeah I love the way the sun's comin' through
And bouncin' off the small of your back
Yeah I know if I call in sick today
Boss man will have a heart attack
Yeah I knew it was over when she rolled over
And said baby why don't you stay
And keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on lookin' at me that way
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on lookin' at me that,
yeah
alright
yeah, come on
alright listen up
I got a reputation going 'round ,
I aint never been the kind to back down
I've thrown a punch or two and gave a few black eyes
But jack daniels kicked my ass again last night
(I know that's right)
Yeah I hung in pretty good for a round or two ,
But he dont fight fair like daddy taught me to
Then I turned my head & then he snuck up from behind
But Jack Daniels kicked my ass again last night
I always thought this heart , was made of steel and bullet proof
But the memory of a tail light fading breaks it right in two
Guess there super man has got his kryptonite - i got mine -
But Jack Daniels kicked my ass again last night
Well I didn't bleed and I ain't black and blue
It ain't hard to tell who got the better of who
'Cause in the morning light, I'm hard to recognize
Yeah, Jack Daniels kicked my ass again last night
Yeah, I always thought this heart , was made of steel and bullet proof
But the memory of a tail lights fading breaks it right in two,
Guess there super man has got his kryptonite
But Jack Daniels kicked my ass again last night
Alright break it down, right here now
You want the proof im about to give you the proof right here
That black label is like blackpowder for my soul
My head feels like a bomb about to blow
Hell, I'm half incline to give that fuse a light
I read it in the paper, marked a date on the wall
To remind myself to celebrate the day I lose it all
They made plans to be together, I made plans to be alone
She got a rock and I'm gettin' stoned
Damn right I've got objections but it's awful late now
The cans are on the limo and the rice is on the ground
They're headed for the islands but hell I'm already gone
She got a rock and I'm gettin' stoned
Here's to happy ever after and here's to balls and chains
Here's to all us haters of old lovers new last name
And here's to holin' up and gettin' right where I belong
She got a rock and I'm gettin' stoned
Yeah I knew that it was over
When I heard those wedding bells
That preacher was my jailer, now this bottle is my bail
So much for all that prayin' her I do would be I don't
She got a rock and I'm gettin' stoned
Here's to happy ever after and here's to balls and chains
Here's to all us haters of old lovers new last names
And here's to holin' up and gettin' right where I belong
She got a rock and I'm gettin' stoned
So to hell with her and him
And that white horse they rode on out on
She got a rock, I'm gettin' stoned
Hungover and hard up
I'm broken down and messed up
I never saw your leavin' coming
But it sure felt when it left
Memory button stuck on repeat
Mind skipping like a record machine
Over and over that goodbye scene
Keeps spinning in my head
It keeps haunting me ain't no maybe about it
The hurt keeps calling me,
Come on out we've got you surrounded
Yeah the bottle in my hand is loaded
And I ain't afraid to use it tonight
Hungover and hard up
Pain hurts and whiskey's tough
And too much ain't never enough
To break through your spell
Living in the lost and found
Round and round, up and down
I'm tired of this seesaw merry-go-round
So Mary you can go to hell
All I wanna do is just get on down the highway
I'll be there as soon as I get on outta my way
Yeah the truth is like a hangman's noose
And it's holding up my heart tonight
Hungover and hard up
I tried it all well now what
I'm giving everything but up
And ups going down the drain
Just when I thought the coast was clear
You're clouding up my atmosphere
That morning sun's waiting there when I wake up
I know where I come from:
How 'bout you?
I don't need baggy clothes,
Or rings in my nose to be cool.
The scars on my knuckles,
Match these scuffs on these cowboy boots.
An' there's a whole lot more like me:
How 'bout you?
I punch the clock tryin' to make it to the top:
How 'bout you?
I ain't got no blue-blood trust fund,
I can dip in to.
Yeah, I wish Uncle Sam would give a damn,
About the man who's collar's blue.
But if he don't, hell, I'll make it on my own:
How 'bout you?
An' how 'bout you?
Do you feel the way I do?
To tell the truth,
I think we're the chosen few.
But that's just me:
How 'bout you?
I still say: "Yes, Ma'am" to my Momma:
How 'bout you?
If I shake your hand, look you in the eye,
You can bet your ass, it'll be the truth.
I cover my heart with my hat,
When they fly that Red, White and Blue,
Just like my Daddy taught me:
How 'bout you?
An' how 'bout you?
Do you feel the way I do?
To tell the truth,
I think we're the chosen few.
But that's just me:
Well, how 'bout you?
I like my country rockin':
How 'bout you?
Just put me on a stage, man,
Turn it up an' I'll turn it loose.
Yeah, give me a crowd that's redneck an' loud,
We'll raise the roof.
Yeah, I might just stay all night long.
How 'bout you?
Do you feel the way I do?
To tell the truth,
I think we're the chosen few.
An' how 'bout you?
Do you feel the way I do?
'Cause, man, I know where I come from:
You were too bad for a little square town
With your hip hop hat and your pants on the ground
Heard you cussed out mama, pushed daddy around
You tore off in his car
Here you are runnin' these dirty old streets
Tattoo on your neck, fake gold on your teeth
Got the hood here snowed but you can't fool me
We both know who you are
Homeboy, you're gonna wish one day
You were sittin' on the gate of a truck by the lake
With your high school flame on one side
Ice cold beer on the other
Ain't no shame in a blue collar forty
Little house, little kids, little small town story
If you don't ever do anything else for me
Just do this for me, brother, come on home, boy
I was haulin' this hay to Uncle Joe's farm
Thought of us barefoot kids in the yard
Man, it seems we were just catchin' snakes in the barn
Now you're caught up in this mess
I can use a little help unloadin' these bales
I can keep ya pretty busy with a hammer and a nail
Ain't a glamorous life but it'll keep you outta jail
Not worry us all to death
Homeboy, you're gonna wish one day
You were sittin' on the gate of a truck by the lake
With your high school flame on one side
Ice cold beer on the other
Ain't no shame in a blue collar forty
Little house, little kids, little small town story
If you don't ever do anything else for me
Just do this for me, brother, come on home, boy
Come on home, boy
You can't hold back the hands of time
Mama's goin' gray and so is daddy's mind
I wish you'd come on back and make it alright
Before they're called home, boy
Homeboy
Come on home, boy
Homeboy
I wear a greasy ball cap
I like my shirt untucked
I spend saturdays working on my truck
I don't like to fight
But I ain't scared to bleed
Most don't mess with a guy like me
Guys like me drink to many beers on friday after work
Our best blue jeans have skoal rings
We wear our boots to church
So rough around the edges
It's hard to believe that girls like you
Love guys like me
Your daddy worked at the bank
Mine worked on cars
You went to college
I pulled graveyard
You must have had your pick
Of all the trust fund types
But you came back to me and only god knows why
Guys like me drink too many beers on friday after work
Our best blue jeans have skoal rings
We wear our boots to church
So rough around the edges
It's hard to believe that girls like you
Love guys like me
Now theres a lot of guys like me out there
In a lot of little towns
And tellin' all our buddies, we won't ever settle down
We say thats just the way we are and the way we'll always be
So God sends girls like you for guys like me
I'll bet you the wine is fine
And I'll bet you the diamonds are real
And I'll bet you his house is a big one
Up on the hill
Hey, that's where he's got me girl
And not that I blame you at all
Now don't say you're sorry
Just go and have you a ball
?Cause I ain't got his kind of money
And I probably never will
But I got a buck that says
His twenties and his hundred dollar bills
Ain't gonna satisfy you forever
They can only buy so much
I ain't got his kind of money
But he ain't got my kind of love
Who's gonna bait your hook?
Who's gonna get lost in your eyes?
Who's gonna throw that ball
That wins you the prize?
Yeah, who's gonna kiss you good night?
Make it last all night long?
Yeah, who's gonna be there
When he's always gone?
No, I ain't got his kind of money
And I probably never will
But I got a buck that says
His twenties and his hundred dollar bills
Ain't gonna satisfy you forever
They can only buy so much
I ain't got his kind of money
But he ain't got my kind of love
He can buy you all he wants to
But girl I ain't sold
So keep my number handy
?Cause I think we both know
I ain't got his kind of money
And I probably never will
But I got a buck that says
His twenties and his hundred dollar bills
Ain't gonna satisfy you forever
They can only buy so much
I ain?t got his kind of money
But he ain't got my kind of love
I ain't got his kind of money
But you're gonna miss my kind of love
You gonna miss it baby, ha!
No if, and's, but's or maybe's, so you wanna be her baby
I can read your face like a book
Yeah, it looks easy to love her but believe me, brother
It's harder than it looks
She's as pretty as a picture
Every bit as funny as she is smart
Got a smile that'll hold you together
And a touch that'll tear you apart
When she's yours she brings the sunshine
When she's gone the world goes dark
Yeah, she's heaven on the eyes
But boy she's hell on the heart, yeah
Yeah, she's good when she's bad, she's cute when she's mad
And she does all the wrong things right
Yeah boy, it's a fact when they're made like that
You ain't ever gonna sleep at night
She's as pretty as a picture
Every bit as funny as she is smart
Got a smile that'll hold you together
And a touch that'll tear you apart
When she's yours she brings the sunshine
When she's gone the world goes dark
Yeah, she's heaven on the eyes
But boy she's hell on the heart
Once you feel her touch and you've felt that rush
It's gonna mess up your head
But here's the kicker, son
Your old ticker's gonna beat you half to death
She's as pretty as a picture
Every bit as funny as she is smart
Got a smile that'll hold you together
And a touch that'll tear you apart
When she's yours she brings the sunshine
When she's gone the world goes dark
Yeah, she's heaven on the eyes
But, boy she's hell on the heart
Early Monday morning to Friday at five,
Man I work work work but I don't climb climb climb
Boss man can shove that over time up his can,
All I wanna do is put a drink in my hand
Fill it up I'll throw it down,
I got a forty hour week worth of trouble to drown
No need to complicate it, I'm a simple man,
All you gotta do is put a drink in my hand
Yeah the parking lot is muddy can't get to the door,
I take my jacked up drop er down in 4x4
Chill down a long neck, warm up the band,
All you got to do is put a drink in my hand
Fill it up I'll throw it down,
I'm about to tear a new one in this old town
5 4 3 2 1 I'm a rocket man,
All you gotta do is put a drink in my hand
Make me want to go ooh ooh ooh when you dance like that,
You got that little tattoo playing peeky boo on your back
If you want to impress me baby here's my plan,
All you got to do is put a drink in my hand
Yeah fill it up I'll throw it down,
When you drive me home take the long way around
You be my Lois Lane, I'll be your Super Man,
All you got to do is put a drink in my hand
My head Monday morning, that alarm clock sings,
It goes bang bang bang while it ring ring rings
Yeah I'm ready to roll baby if you want to rock again,
All you got to do is put a drink in my hand
Yeah fill it up I'll throw it down,
I got a little hungover still hanging around
Yeah that hair of the dog is howling hey there man,
All you got to do is put a drink in my hand
Yea that hair of the dog is howling hey there man,
All you got to do is put a drink in my hand
(Bowm bowm bowm bow-dum...bowm bowm bowm bow-dum)
Like a honey bee beatin' on my screen door
Got a little buzz and my head is sore
From my bed I can feel the sun
Lord 'round here the morning comes
Just a creepin' creepin' creepin' creepin'
You shot outta here like a bullet from a gun
A flip of a switch, a thief on the run
Since the day you left me baby
I can feel the lonely, I can hear the crazy
Just a creepin' creepin, just a creepin' creepin'
Head to the future, run from the past
Hide from the mirror, live in a glass
What the dreams forget the whiskey remembers
Kinda like molasses in late December
Just a creepin' creepin'
(oh creepin')
Your cocaine kiss and caffeine love
Got under my skin and into my blood
That need you back comes over me
Like ivy crawling up a hickory tree
Just a creepin' creepin', just a creepin' creepin'
(Creepin')
Head to the future, run from the past
Hide from the mirror, live in a glass
What the dreams forget the whiskey remembers
Kinda like molasses in late December
Just a creepin' creepin'
(Ah come on)
(Break it down down down down......)
Just last night I saw the light
At the end of that tunnel on the other side
Thought I'd find my way out of this pain
Only to find your memory train
There'll be fire on the mountain
I had a revelation last night
Divine inspiration from the other side
Or what it's gonna take to right all this wrong
We need a country music Jesus to come and save us all
We need a second coming worse than bad
Some long haired hippie prophet
Preaching from the book of Johnny Cash
A sheep among the wolves there standing tall
We need a country music Jesus to come and save us all
(Chorus)
There'll be fire on the mountain
There'll be revival and banging drums
There'll be screaming and there'll be shouting
When my county music Jesus comes
We've had our believers in the past
And they gave us a message that would last
They built our house on a foundation of stone
God send a country music Jesus to come and save us all
(Chorus x2)
There'll be fire on the mountain
There'll be revival and banging drums
There'll be screaming and there'll be shouting
When my country music Jesus comes
There'll be fire on the mountain
There'll be revival and banging drums
There'll be screaming and there'll be shouting
When my country music Jesus comes
There's a cabin in a valley,
My grandpa built on your land.
Your mountains are a canvas,
For the makers hand.
Tonight I'm fishing elk river,
If only in my mind.
No, I haven't seen her banks in such a long, long time.
I carry you in my heart
your memory comes over me like the dark and
(Refrain)
Like a phone call from my baby,
Sayin' honey I miss ya like crazy.
Like the sound of a siren song,
Oh Carolina, ya keep callin me home.
Callin' me home.
Sometimes I grow weary,
From goin' all the time.
I love to take a minute,
Let you ease my mind.
I'd love to see my mama
Maybe go for a drive
But I gotta play the star in some little town again tonight
Don't get me wrong
I love what I do
It's just another song about missing you
(Refrain)
Callin' me home
Callin' me home
Callin' me home, yeah
Oh, oh, we're almost home
Like a phone call from my baby
Sayin honey I miss ya, I miss ya like crazy
Just like the song of a siren song
Oh Carolina,
Carolina,
Carolina,
Keep callin me home,
Callin' me home,
Callin' me home,
Callin' me home
Carolina,
Carolina,
Never realized how much she brought to the table
'Till I went to sit my cup of coffee where the table used to be
No couch, no bed, no heirloom antique cradle
No more hope for one day startin' that family
Bet she's gainin' fast on Memphis
With a trailer load in tow
Who says you can't take it with you till you go
Chorus:
She got away with everything that I had goin'
And she got away before I could make it all alright
And I got a way with leavin' what needs said unspoken
Hell I even blew the chance I had to say goodbye
Yeah she took her heart and took off down that road
And they say you can't take it with you when you go
Good news is ain't much here left for packin'
Bad new is she left behind a million memories
All the echoes of her cryin' lovin' and laughin'
Left me with nothin' left to do but leave
That old house is in the rearview, ridin' shotgun is her ghost
Who says you can't take it with you when you go
(Repeat Chorus)
Closin' in on Dallas now
Is the best love I've ever known
I believe that gas is too damn high
Ain't nothin' more American than Mama's apple pie
I believe in love, I believe in peace
But I don't believe we'll ever see it in that Middle East
I believe the Bible is cold hard fact
And I believe that Jesus is comin' back
Before she does
I believe the Sabbath is the day of rest
The tax man and the devil share the same address
I believe don't start if you're gonna quit
I believe in keep your mouth shut and carry a big stick
I believe dogs are better than cats
And I belive that Jesus is comin' back
Before she does
There's absolutely positively no doubt in my mind
That O.J. did it, Lee Harvey didn't and she's really gone this time
I belive that cold cold beer
Tastes better on a barstool than it does anywhere
I believe hard work really makes the man
But everyone should wet a line every now and then
I believe it's best to pay in cash
And I believe that Jesus is comin' back
Before she does
There's absolutely positively no doubt in my mind
That O.J. did it, Lee Harvey didn't and she's really gone this time
I believe she was a real good thing
Can you believe I let a girl like her get away
I believe she meant it the night she packed
And said Jesus is comin' back
Before she does
Before she does
I'll bet you the wine is fine
And I'll bet you the diamonds are real
And I'll bet you his house is a big one
Up on the hill
Hey, that's where he's got me girl
And not that I blame you at all
Now don't say you're sorry
Just go and have you a ball
? Cause I ain't got his kind of money
And I probably never will
But I got a buck that says
His twenties and his hundred dollar bills
Ain't gonna satisfy you forever
They can only buy so much
I ain't got his kind of money
But he ain't got my kind of love
Who's gonna bait your hook?
Who's gonna get lost in your eyes?
Who's gonna throw that ball
That wins you the prize?
Yeah, who's gonna kiss you good night?
Make it last all night long?
Yeah, who's gonna be there
When he's always gone?
No, I ain't got his kind of money
And I probably never will
But I got a buck that says
His twenties and his hundred dollar bills
Ain't gonna satisfy you forever
They can only buy so much
I ain't got his kind of money
But he ain't got my kind of love
He can buy you all he wants to
But girl I ain't sold
So keep my number handy
? Cause I think we both know
I ain't got his kind of money
And I probably never will
But I got a buck that says
His twenties and his hundred dollar bills
Ain't gonna satisfy you forever
They can only buy so much
I ain? t got his kind of money
But he ain't got my kind of love
I ain't got his kind of money
But you're gonna miss my kind of love
You gonna miss it baby, ha!
I like to think that i
have strong enough conviction
to give my life for something
i believe
But the truth is that i
ever been put in that position
where id have to die
to keep someone else free
but their are those, that do it every day
and their are those, that will tomorrow
so tonight i pray, as i lay my words down
to watch over those, still standing their ground
I like to think that i
have had the kind of courage
to speak the name of god
where it was vained
or be the kind of guy
who stayed by her side
when alot of other guys
would of ran
cause their are those, that do it every day
and their are those, that will tomorrow
so tonight i pray, as i lay my words down
Lord watch over those, still standing their ground
i make my living with this old guitar
i stand on a stage and i pour out my heart
it might not seem like much in the sceme of things
yea i doubt ill ever save a life with one of these
songs i sing
but their are those, that do it every day
and their are those, that'll save one tomorrow
so tonight i pray, as i lay my words down
Lord please watch over those still standing their
I gave a girl a ride in my wagon
And she crawled in and took control
She was tired and her mind was a-draggin'
And I said get some sleep and dream of rock and roll
Like a picture she was laying there
And moonlight dancing off her hair
She woke up and took me by the hand
She's gonna love me in my Chevy van and that's all right with me
Yeah, her young face was like that of an angel
And her long legs were tanned and brown
You better keep your eyes on that road, boy
You better slow this vehicle down
Cause like a picture she was laying there
And moonlight dancing off her hair
She woke up and took me by the hand
She's gonna love me in my Chevy van and that's all right with me
Yeah, I put her out in a town that was so small
You could throw a rock from end to end
A dirt road main street, she walked off in her bare feet
And it's a shame I won't be passin' that way again
Like a picture she was laying there
Moonlight dancing off her hair
She woke up and took me by the hand
We made love in my Chevy van and that's all right with me
Yeah, like a picture she was laying there
Moonlight dancing off her hair
She woke up and took me by the hand
And we made love in my Chevy van
We made love in my Chevy van
Workin' all this overtime is good at keepin' me occupied
Hell with the stress
It ain't killed me yet
Doctor says I gotta quit
Get on the wagon and off of them damn cigarettes
But they ain't killed me yet
Doc you probably wonder why I don't care
Why I don't change, why I ain't scared
'Cause I thought her leavin'
Would stop my heart from beatin'
And gettin' over her would be my death
It hurts every night when she dances through my mind
I still feel the sting of loneliness
But it ain't killed me yet
She turned this house into a tomb
Ghosts rattle in every room, they're doin' their best
But they ain't killed me yet
So I lean on the bottle more every night
I'm probably past the point where I should give it a rest
But it ain't killed me yet
No I ain't sayin' I'll never die
But till I do, I'm on borrowed time
'Cause I thought her leavin'
Would stop my heart from beatin'
And gettin' over her would be my death
It hurts every night when she dances through my mind
I still feel the sting of loneliness
But it ain't killed me yet, it ain't killed me yet
It hurts every night when she dances through my mind
I still feel the sting of loneliness
Hey my name is Michael
And I'm 34 years old
I work for this city
At least I did two months ago
Here's a picture of my boy
And he's starting to look like me
He plays his first football game
Next week against the Chiefs
His mom and him still live
On Murphy Road in our old house
And after 3 or 4 boyfriends
She's finally settled down
He's a banker out of Baker man
You oughta see her ring
And that's what's going on these days
In my life without me
Whiskey ain't been on my breath
But it stays on my mind
And I ain't had a steady hand
In such a long, long time
The devil that lived in me
Passed on this past June
When my very own flesh and blood
Said, "Daddy, I hate you"
And these days I'm on time
And I get where I'm supposed to be
I don't sleep away the daylight
Or embarass my family
His mom and him are doing great
Without that drunk S.O.B.
And that's what's going on these days
In my life without me
Yeah, you think with all this taking, man
I wouldn't want it still
But with everything in my life is changed
I know one thing never will
Hey my name is Michael
and I'm an alcoholic
one of the fallen
I woke up this morning
And the sun was shining
And the birds were singing
And everything was just fine
Almost like they were
Rubbing it in
So I woke up this morning
And I, I went back to bed
I woke up this morning
And I tried to lie
But the truth was there
In my bloodshot eyes
Well honey, your still gone
And you ain't came back yet
So I woke up this morning
And I, I went back to bed
I know this world is gonna spin
Whether I get up or I sleep in
Yeah, you being gone
Today's too much to swallow
So I'll try again tomorrow
I woke up this morning
Smelled spring on the breeze
Its like that wind was teasing me
But there's a breeze in my heart
And still a stone in my head
So I woke up this morning
And I, I went back to bed
I know this world is gonna spin
Whether I get up or I sleep in
Yeah, you being gone
Today's too much to swallow
So I'll try again tomorrow
I know this world is gonna spin
Whether I get up or I sleep in
Yeah, you being gone
Today's too much to swallow
So I'll try again tomorrow
Woke up this morning
Sun was shining
Birds were singing
And everything was just fine
I got a nice sized collection I'll admit it
Yea the night I showed it to her I'll never forget it
One shot of Whiskey River and she was gone, long gone
She couldn't leave my Willie alone
I played her everything from Material Girl
All of my Skynyrd and Merle
The Beatles and the Rolling Stones
Yea tried like hell to hook her on the Man in Black
She wasn't havin any of that
And she kept goin back
To the only thing that turned her on
She wouldn't leave my Willie alone
Well the honeymoon sure did wear off fast
We went from huggy, kissy, to fightin like dogs and
cats
Well bad got worse when she went to cleanin out my
home, sweet home
And she wouldn't leave my Willie alone
I tried to give her everything from Material Girl
All of my Skynyrd and Merle
The Beatles and the Rolling Stones
Yea tried like hell to hook her on the Man in Black
She wasn't havin any of that
And she keeps comin back
To the o-o-only thing that turns her on
She won't leave my Willie alone
Yea I'm afraid it's been this way my whole life long
They won't leave my Willie alone
If it was up to my pride, I'd be gone
If it was up to my mind, I'd be moving on
If it was up to my shoes
I'd be layin' rubber on the street
Anywhere else, that's where I'd be
And ain't it just my luck
When every other part of me gets unstuck
You'd already be gone if it was up to me
But my heart's got a memory
My heart's got a memory
If it took a train, I'd be on that track
If it took a drink, I'd be knockin' one back
If one little pill could set me free
Honey I'd O.D., yeah I'd O.D.
And ain't it just my luck
When every other part of me gets unstuck
You'd already be gone if it was up to me
But my heart's got a memory
My heart's got a memory
Sometimes it feels like my heart's got a mind of it's own
And it's decided it don't wanna leave you alone
But if I had my way
I wouldn't feel this pain
And maybe someday baby
I'd kick this thing
But I really don't know when that might be
'Cause my heart's got a memory
Oh whoa whoa, Oh whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa
No one would blame ya tomorrow
If you packed your things and hit that open road
Ended up in the bahamas with an address that
Only your mama would know
Yeah I could lie and say this time im gonna change
But we both know better
I'm like a ship out on the ocean
Cussin' the waves but loving the motion
Chasin a star that don't always shine
Gettin' far out and falling behind
I know loving me's never been easy
I'm like a wild card that's hard to play
But I won't thank you for loving me anyway
Oh whoa whoa, Oh whoa whoa, Oh whoa whoa whoa
They dressed you up like an angel
And they painted you a halo and some wings
That gold carat they dangled
Was supposed to keep your eyes off guys like me
They told you I'm no good
And that you always could do so much better
I'm like a ship out on the ocean
Cussin' the waves but loving the motion
Chasin a star that don't always shine
Gettin far out and falling behind
I know loving me's never been easy
I'm like a wild card that's hard to play
But I won't thank you for loving me anyway
Yeah through the ups and downs and sideways
All the gotta have it my ways
Yeah the crazy nights and dog days
You kept on lovin me anyway
Whoa oh
Oh whoa whoa, Oh whoa whoa, Oh whoa whoa whoa
I'm like a ship out on the ocean
Cussin' the waves but loving the motion
I'm like a ship out on the ocean
Cussin' the waves but loving the motion
Gettin far out I'm fallin behind
Yeah loving loving loving me anyways
Oh whoa whoa, Oh whoa whoa, Oh whoa whoa whoa
You're loving me anyways yeah
Yeah I'm like a ship out on the ocean
Muddy water coming out of the sink in there
And dirty sheets up on the bed
I can't get no picture on the TV screen
I can't stand the ones up in my head
I got the air turned down to very cold
But it ain't doing a bit of good
It ain't like there was a first resort
In this last chance for gas neighborhood
I was looking for freedom
I was looking for a good time
I was looking for a little space
A little place that was mine, all mine
I was going with my change of heart
Wanted no part of forever
I was looking for a blessing
When I said baby it's all for the better
Yeah, what do you know
I think I wound up where she told me to go
Of all the places man I broke down here
Shade tree mechanic told me son
I can't get no parts for this here make in here
But don't worry boy I'll get it done
Meanwhile I need to be back with her yesterday
Clock in this town don't seem to care
I'm finding fast this Godforsaken place
Is at least two weeks from everywhere
I was looking for freedom
I was looking for a good time
I was looking for a little space
A little place, some peace of mind
I was going with my change of heart
Wanted no part of forever
I was looking for a blessing
When I said baby it's all for the better
Yeah, what do you know
I think I wound up where she told me to go
This place ain't on no map
But how was I to know it's everywhere that she ain't at
How did she know that I'd wind up where she told me to go
Where she told me to go
Momma used to teach,
And Preacher used to preach,
there's angels watching over me,
their here to shield you,
so you dont yield to the devil,
when your soul gets weak,
but they're hard to hear,
when you're jammin gears,
and they're always hanging back,
yeah they try to chase but if they wanna save me,
they better step on the gas,
chorus
cause I'm livin faster than my angels can fly,
yeah I've been wearin the wings off mine,
im bound to die out-livin life
faster than my angels can fly
yeah faster than my angels can fly
theres days i regret this hitch in my step,
and scars on my boots and hands,
all those times i rushed to get growed up,
and to hurry to become a man,
and the promises i made
and the hearts i break all in the name of fun,
yeah id apologize but i aint go no time for no tie me up slow me down love,
chorus
cause I'm livin faster than my angels can fly,
yeah I've been wearin the wings off mine,
yeah im bound to die out-livin life
faster than my angels can fly
yeah faster than my angels can fly
yeah i slowed down, i aint what i was,
still they aint got a prayer,
of ever catching up,
cause i was born to run, born to run, born to run
yeah
faster than my angels can fly,
yeah I've been wearin the wings off mine,
yeah im bound to die out-livin life
