## Song lyrics
### Who Needs Pictures (1999)

* Me neither. I'm glad that we agree. Believe me, That's a big relief. Well, this place is awful crowded And this music is so loud. Would you like to go and grab a bite to eat? Me neither.
** Me Neither written by Brad Paisley, Chris DuBois and Frank Rogers.
* Somewhere in my closet There's a cardboard box just sittin' on a shelf. It's full of faded memories And it's been there ever since the night you left.Oh, just forgotten photographs To remind me of the past. Oh, but I can still see everything just fine. Who needs pictures with a memory like mine? Yeah, who needs pictures with a memory like mine?
** Who Needs Pictures, written by Brad Paisley, Chris DuBois and Frank Rogers.
* And then all of a sudden Oh, it seemed so strange to me, How we went from something's missing To a family. Lookin' back all I can say About all the things he did for me Is I hope I'm at least half the dad That he didn't have to be.
** He Didn't Have to Be, written by Brad Paisley and Kelley Lovelace.
* And we danced; Out there on that empty hardwood floor. The chairs up and the lights turned way down low The music played, we held each other close. And we danced.Like no one else had ever danced before. I can't explain what happened on that floor. But the music played, We held each other close, And we danced. Yeah, we danced.
** We Danced, written by Brad Paisley and Chris DuBois.

### Part II (2001)

* Well I love her; But I love to fish. I spend all day out on this lake And hell is all I catch. Today she met me at the door Said I would have to choose. If I hit that fishin' hole today, She'd be packin' all her things, And she'd be gone by noon.Well, I'm gonna miss her When I get home. But right now I'm on this lake shore And I'm sittin' in the sun. I'm sure it'll hit me When I walk through that door tonight That I'm gonna miss her. Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite.
** I'm Gonna Miss Her (The Fishin' Song), written by Brad Paisley and Frank Rogers
* I've been wrapped around her finger Since the first time we went out. Every day and every night she's all I think about. I need that girl beside me When the lights go out. I think it's time to put a ring on the finger I'm wrapped around.
** Wrapped Around, written by Brad Paisley, Chris DuBois, and Kelley Lovelace.
* Yeah there ain't nothing not affected When two hearts get connected. All that is, will be, or ever was. Every single choice we make, Every breath we get to take, Is all because two people fell in love.
** Two People Fell in Love, written by Brad Paisley, Kelley Lovelace, and Tim Owens.
* I know you need to go, But before you do I want you to know, that I Wish you the best. And I wish you nothing less Than every thing you've ever dreamed of. And I hope that you find love along the way. But most of all, I wish you'd stay.
** I Wish You'd Stay, written by Brad Paisley and Chris DuBois.

### Mud on the Tires (2003)

* 'Cause it's a good night To be out there soakin' up the moonlight. Stake out a little piece of shoreline. I've got the perfect place in mind. It's in the middle of nowhere; only way to get there You got to get a little mud on the tires.
** Mud on the Tires, written by Brad Paisley and Chris DuBois.
* Cause when you're a Celebrity, It's adios reality. You can act just like a fool. People think you're cool Just cause you're on TV. I can throw major fits When my latte isn't just how I like it. They say I've gone insane, I'll blame it on the fame, And the pressures that it goes with Being a Celebrity.
** Celebrity, written by Brad Paisley.
* I know she's not perfect but she tries so hard for me And I thank god that she isn't 'cause how boring would that be? It's the little imperfections, it's the sudden change in plans. When she misreads the directions and we're lost but holdin' hands. Yeah I live for little moments like that.
** Little Moments, written by Brad Paisley and Chris DuBois.
* When she's layin' on my shoulder on the sofa in the dark And about the time she falls asleep, so does my right arm. And I want so bad to move it, 'cause it's tinglin' and it's numb; But she looks so much like an angel that I don't wanna wake her up. Yeah I live for little moments When she steals my heart again and doesn't even know it. Yeah I live for little moments like that.
** Little Moments

### Time Well Wasted (2005)

* To the world, You may be just another girl. But to me, Baby, you are the world.
** The World, written by Brad Paisley, Kelley Lovelace, and Lee Thomas Miller
* And since the day I left Milwaukee, Lyncheburg and Bourbon, France Been makin' a fool out of folks Just like you, And helpin' white people dance. I am medicine and I am poison. I can help you up or make you fall. You had some of the best times You'll never remember with me... Alcohol.
** Alcohol, written by Brad Paisley

### 5th Gear (2007)

* I'd like to see you out in the moonlight. I'd like to kiss you way back in the sticks. I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers. And I'd like to check you for ticks.
** Ticks, written by Brad Paisley, Kelley Lovelace, and Tim Owens.
* Online, I’m out in Hollywood. I’m 6 foot 5 and I look damn good. Even on a slow day, I could have a three way, Chat with two women at one time. I’m so much cooler online; Yeah, I’m cooler online.
** Online, written by Brad Paisley, Chris DuBois, and Kelley Lovelace.
* And oh you got so much going for you, going right. But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night. I wish you'd study Spanish, I wish you'd take a typing class. I wish you wouldn't worry, let it be. I'd say have a little faith and you'll see. If I could write a letter to me.
** Letter to Me, written by Brad Paisley.
* You're probably thinkin’ that you're gonna change me; In some ways well maybe you might. Scrub me down, dress me up. Oh but no matter what, Remember, I'm still a guy.
** I'm Still a Guy, written by Brad Paisley, Kelley Lovelace, and Lee Thomas Miller

### American Saturday Night (2009)

* Everyday is a revolution. Welcome to the future.
** Welcome to the Future, written by Chris DuBois and Brad Paisley.
* Now you're my whole life; Now you're my whole world. I just can't believe The way I feel about you girl. Like a river meets the sea, Stronger than it's ever been. We've come so far since that day, And I thought I loved you then.
** Then, written by Chris DuBois, Ashley Gorley, and Brad Paisley.
* All you really need this time of year Is a pair of shades And ice cold beer. And a place to sit somewhere near Water.
** Water, written by Brad Paisley, Chris DuBois, and Kelley Lovelace.
* And I started wondering who he was going to be And I thought heaven help us if hes anything like me. He'll probably climb a tree to tall and ride hes bike to fast; End up every summer wearin something in a cast. He's gonna throw a ball and break some glass in a window down the street. He's gonna get in trouble, oh he's gonna get in fights. I'm gonna lose my temper and some sleep. It's safe to say that I'm gonna get my payback if he's anything like me.
** Anything Like Me, written by Brad Paisley, Chris DuBois, and Dave Turnbull.

### This Is Country Music (2011)

* You're not supposed to say the word "cancer" in a song. And tellin' folks Jesus is the answer can rub 'em wrong. It ain't hip to sing about tractors, trucks, little towns, and mama, yeah that might be true. But this is country music and we do.
** This Is Country Music, written by Brad Paisley and Chris DuBois.
* So turn it on, turn it up, and sing a long This is real; this is your life in a song. Yeah this is country music.
** This Is Country Music.
* She'd rather wear a pair of cut-off jeans Than an evening dress. And with the windows rolled down, And her hair blowin all around, Well, she's a hot Southern mess.She'd take a beer over white wine. A campfire over candle light. And when it comes to love, Her idea of a romantic nightIs listenin' to old Alabama And driving through Tennessee A little "Dixieland Delight" and "The Right Time of the Night", And she can't keep her hands off of me.
** Old Alabama, written by Brad Paisley, Chris DuBois, Dave Turnbull, and Randy Owen.
* You can blend in in the country; You can stand out in the fashion world Being invisible to a white tail and irresistible to a redneck girl. Camouflage, Camouflage Oh you're my favorite color Camouflage.
** Camouflage, written by Chris DuBois, Kelley Lovelace, and Brad Paisley.
* We didn’t care if people stared; We’d make out in a crowd somewhere. Somebody’d tell us to get a room; It’s hard to believe that was me and you. Now we keep saying that we’re OK. But I don’t want to settle for good not great. I miss the way that it felt back then; I wanna feel that way again.
** Remind Me, sung with Carrie Underwood, written by Brad Paisley, Chris DuBois, and Kelley Lovelace.

## Quotes about Brad Paisley

* West Virginia-born Telecaster shredder Brad Paisley is one of the most electrifying live performers in country music. His extraordinary skill on a Telecaster ranges from traditional country phrasing to some pretty out-there work, and from delicate clean-tone passages to dizzying solo flights that once earned him a description in Guitar One magazine as “Eddie Van Halen on cornbread.”
** Mike Duffy and Jeff Owens of Fender
