Call Your Name | 0 | [Verse 1]
I don't dream in my bed
These days I'll sleep alone instead
And I'm so far, far from me
In the deepest, darkest sea
[Pre-Chorus]
I hope the wind will carry you
Into the blue
Feathered wings will hold you
I hope the wind will carry you
Back to the stars
Life below is too hard
[Chorus]
I don't call your name anymore
I can't take the weight like I did before
Now you take my heart from out me
You'll be the death of me
[Verse 2]
Then my heart, it turned cold
I had to walk away alone
And you're so far, far from home
These stars, they will shine on
[Pre-Chorus]
I hope the wind will carry you
Into the blue
Feathered wings will hold you
I hope the wind will carry you
Back to the stars
Life below is too hard
[Chorus]
I don't call your name anymore
I can't take the weight like I did before
Now you take my heart from out me
You'll be the death of me
[Chorus]
I don't call your name anymore
I can't take the weight like I did before
Now you take my heart from out me
You'll be the death of me
You'll be the death of me |
Red | 0 | [Verse 1]
Loving him is like driving a new Maserati
Down a dead-end street
Faster than the wind, passionate as sin
Ending so suddenly
Loving him is like trying to change your mind
Once you're already flying through the free fall
Like the colors in autumn, so bright
Just before they lose it all
[Chorus]
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
Forgetting him was like
Trying to know somebody you never met
But loving him was red
Loving him was red
[Verse 2]
Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted
Was right there in front of you
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing
All the words to your old favorite song
Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword
And realizing there's no right answer
Regretting him was like wishing you never found out
That love could be that strong
[Chorus]
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
Forgetting him was like
Trying to know somebody you never met
But loving him was red
Oh, red
Burning red
[Bridge]
Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes
Tell myself it's time now, gotta let go
But moving on from him is impossible
When I still see it all in my head
In burning red
Loving him was red
[Chorus]
Oh, losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
Forgetting him was like
Trying to know somebody you never met
'Cause loving him was red
Yeah, yeah, red
We're burning red
[Breakdown]
And that's why he's spinning 'round in my head
Comes back to me, burning red
Yeah, yeah
[Outro]
His love was like driving a new Maserati
Down a dead-end street |
Long Way Home | 0 | [Verse 1]
She must be a long way from home
My baby is waiting somewhere I don’t know why
Here all those ones are the wrong one
And now I got nowhere else to hide
[Chorus]
I’m leaving town for the weekend
Hoping I might found myself again and this time
I’m taking this lonely road t’ill its end
Cause now I think I understand yeah sometimes
Your only road leads a long way from home
[Verse 2]
Going around, making circles in the ground
It’s crazy but I’m gonna take a chance on me
The Motel sign is already gone
One day I’ll have my name written on a neon
[Chorus]
I’m leaving town for the weekend
Hoping I will sing my songs again for a long time
I’m taking this lonely road t’ill its end
Cause now I think I understand yeah sometimes
Your only road leads a long way from home
[Solo]
[Chorus-2]
I’m leaving town before the night ends
Hoping I might found my dream again between these lines
I’m taking this lonely road from the start
I follow the feelings of my heart, yeah sometimes
This lonely road is the only road you’ll find
This lonely road leads a long way from home |
Real | 0 | Waiting on the empty street
You looked up at me
Smiled as we said hello
I could hardly breathe
It feels like I’m learning you
And it feels like you know me too
And you held me in your arms so close
And you made me feel
That this could be real
We showed each other photographs
Of things we love and things we miss
Our hands so close
We walked, we talked
I learned the names of all the people in your life
That mean the most
It feels likе some time’s gone by
Whеn I look into your ocean eyes
And you held me in your arms so tight
Whispered in my ear
And you told me it was real
I don’t wanna waste my time
Thinking this is gonna be something that it’s not
But something in your eyes is telling me
To hold back all those fears
I didn’t know I’d got
So maybe you could change my mind now
And tell me what to say
And I could waste my time with you
‘Cause maybe this is fate
Winter passed in skies of grey
And you right next to me
I never really thought you’d stay
It’s so hard to believe
But I don’t have to call your name
Or wait here in the pouring rain
I’m hoping that you feel the same
When you look at me
‘Cause this must be real |

Saints And Angels | 0 | [Verse 1:]
We're only human, baby
We walk on broken ground
We lose our way
We come unwound
We'll turn in circles, baby
We're never satisfied
We'll fall from grace
Forget we can fly
But through all the tears that we cried
We'll survive
[Chorus:]
Cause when we're torn apart
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grace to save us
We're just two tarnished hearts
When in each other's arms
We become saints and angels
[Verse 2:]
I love your imperfections
I love your everything
Your broken heart, your broken wings
I love you when you hold me
And when you turn away
I love you still and I'm not afraid
Cause I know you feel the same way
And you'll stay
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
These feet of clay (these feet of clay)
They will not stray
[Chorus] |
One More Year | 0 | What harm would one more year done
Before you were stolen away?
Don't you think that I would have come
If I'd known what I know today?
But it wouldn't have made a difference
You were gone the day we met
Left me standing with my regrets
And a face I can't forget
I was going to the west
I'm riding over Tennessee
The southern blues are high again
But you would never come and see me
It ain't right but I'll pretend
That it wouldn't have made a difference
You were gone the day we met
A face I can't forget
She said that I was blessed
I was dying in the west |
Today I Saw My Funeral | 0 | Today I saw my funeral it was an awful sight
The grass was brown and dying and the sun was sick and bright
I felt my body lowered in the cold and frozen ground
Today I saw my funeral there was no one around
Today I saw my funeral it made me so ashamed
I realized the only thing my life had brought was pain
All I ever cared about or thought about was me
Today I saw my funeral it was so hard to see
Today I saw my funeral so silent and alone
I wanted to go find someone to weep upon my bones
To change me from this terrible thing to something pure and good
Today I saw my funeral as on your grave I stood
Grandmother |
Wait Around | 0 | Lonely afternoon, she’ll be coming home soon
Save me from this dark place that I call home
And if she ain’t comin back
I guess I’ll wait around some
Pretty grey day, in a pretty grey way
Clouds coming down over the motorway
Lay here on the ground
I’m just a waitin' round
Wait a minute and boredom will get ya
Try to run but its not gonna let ya
No ones making a sound I guess i'll wait around
Wait a minute and boredom will get ya
Try to run but its not gonna let ya
No ones making a sound I guess i'll wait around
Haven’t made it past noon haven’t left my room
Cause its pissin’ down rain not stopping any time soon
I lay here on the ground
I’m just a waitin' round
I lay here on the ground
I’m just a waitin' round |
Wild Love | 0 | [Verse 1]
If you're whiskey on a summer night
I'm one too many
If you're a one hit get me high
I'm flying already
You're a storm cloud rolling in
Lightning in the wire
The way your eyes light up mine
It's like a California fire
[Chorus]
Oh we got a wild love
Haven't felt it in a while
But I feel it in your touch
Try to tame it boy I'd never
You can't fence that in
Let's let it run forever
There's no holding back the wind
When you got a wild love
Wild, wild, wild, wild, wild love
[Verse 2]
Don't know what it is about you
That makes me lose control
It's obviously dangerous
But I ain't letting go
[Chorus]
Of this wild love
Haven't felt it in a while
But I feel it in your touch
Try to tame it boy I'd never
You can't fence that in
Let's let it run forever
There's no holding back the wind
When you got a wild love
Wild, wild, wild, wild, wild love
[Bridge]
A little crazy, fallin' free
Hey baby, I hope we'll always be
[Chorus]
In wild love
Haven't felt it in a while
But I feel it in your touch
Try to tame it boy I'd never
You can't fence that in
Let's let it run forever
There's no holding back the wind
When you got a wild love
Wild, wild, wild, wild, wild love |
Reasons The Writers Cut | 0 | [Verse 1]
I don't know why you can't buy wine 'round here on Sundays
Or an ice cold beer at a college football game
I don't know why at eighteen, mama gave me a curfew
But it was, "Son, you're under my roof, then you're under my rules"
[Pre-Chorus]
I guess it's all a part of a bigger plan
And some of them, I'll never understand
[Chorus]
But they got their reasons, just like you
When you walked out of my life when you didn't have to
You sent me reelin', there's nothin' I can do
About you takin' my heart and breakin' it right in two
So if you see me soakin' in these thoughts I'm thinkin'
Drownin' in some barroom, off the deep end
I got my reasons
[Verse 2]
I don't know why them uptown guys sittin' three seats from me
Are raisin' 'em up just as fast as they can put 'em down
Or why that old timer wants the Yankees on the TV
And the barkeep keeps buyin' that one girl free rounds
[Chorus]
But they got their reasons, just like you
When you walked out of my life when you didn't have to
You sent me reelin', there's nothin' I can do
About you takin' my heart and breakin' it right in two
So if you see me soakin' in these thoughts I'm thinkin'
Drownin' in some barroom, off the deep end
I got my reasons
[Bridge]
Some are good and some are bad
Some are true and some are sad
Everyone's got some, but I need one that brings you back
[Chorus]
'Cause they got their reasons, just like you
When you walked out of my life when you didn't have to
You sent me reelin', there's nothin' I can do
About you takin' my heart and breakin' it right in two
So if you see me soakin' in these thoughts I'm thinkin'
Drownin' in some barroom, off the deep end
I got my reasons
[Outro]
Woah, I got my reasons
Woah, I got my reasons
I got my reasons |
Shine | 0 | [Verse 1]
Winter's weighing on your shoulders
It's hanging around a little too long
And I can see it in your eyes
You've taken on a load that's just too strong
Oh, but let me get down to the heart of the matter
Baby, if you want I can make it better now
[Chorus]
When the sun is hard to find
When it's raining in your eyes
When the shadows block those pretty little blue skies living inside you
When the falling of your tears, makes a candle disappear
When you just can't see the light
Baby, I'll find a way to shine
I'll find a way to shine
[Verse 2]
Everybody's got a cross to carry
Everybody's got a story they can tell
You know you're not the only one counting on a quarter and wishing well
Woah don't you sit there with your heart under lock and key
Give me one chance baby, I can set you free
[Chorus]
When the sun is hard to find
When it's raining in your eyes
When the shadows block those pretty little blue skies living inside you
When the falling of your tears, makes a candle disappear
When you just can't see the light
Baby, I'll find a way to shine
I'll find a way to shine
[Verse 3]
Sometimes in this life good luck doesn't shine like it suppose to do
When there's no one you can trust and they just keep on giving up on you
Baby, don't you know that I won't ever let you down
Come on now, woo
Oh, don't sit there with your heart under lock and key
Just give me one chance and baby, I can set you free
[Chorus]
When the sun is hard to find
When it's raining in your eyes
And the shadows block those pretty little blue skies living inside you
When the falling of your tears, makes a candle disappear
And you just can't see the light
Baby, I'll find a way to shine
I'll find a way to shine
Find a way to shine
Find a way to shine
You know I'll find a way
[Outro]
Find a way, find a way
Find a way to shine |
Dont Be A Stranger | 0 | Its 5 in the mornin’
And I’ve been waiting up all night
Left with no warning
And baby you know that ain’t right
Don’t be a stranger
We’ve been together much too long
Don’t be a stranger
Come on back where you belong
Its 5 in the morning
Have you found another
Is that the reason I’m alone
Have you found a lover
Is that the reason you’re not home
Don’t be a stranger
We’ve been together much too long
Don’t be a stranger
Come on back where you belong
Have you found another
Until I hear you say you don’t want me
I’ll never be the one to set you free
I sit and I wonder
Have we lost the love we’ve known for years
It’s pullin’ me under
To think I’ll drown in all of tears
Don’t be a stranger
We’ve been together much too long
Don’t be a stranger
Come on back where you belong
6 in the mornin’
You left with no warnin’
I sit and I wonder;
Don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger
8 in the mornin’
Don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger |
Drive my Truck | 0 | [Chorus]
I've got a girl that don't take no lip
She's as tough as they come in as hot as it gets
Man she sure looks pretty when she gets a little dirty
And I like her just like that
Not afraid to get stuck
She's the only one who can drive me truck
[Verse 1]
When I first saw her sitting on her drop tailgate
Cut off shorts and cowboy boots
Listening to George Strait
So I walked on up and took a chance
And asked her if she'd like to dance
Shook my hand 'bout broke my wrist
Said boy you can't handle this
Something happened to me that night
My arms around her I thought something felt just right
[Chorus]
'Cause I've got a girl that don't take no lip
She's as tough as they come in as hot as it gets
Man she sure looks pretty when she gets a little dirty
And I like her just like that
Not afraid to get stuck
She's the only one who can drive me truck
[Verse 2]
Now when I see her sitting on my tailgate
Not much has changed and that smile still takes my breath away
Every now and then we still like to dance
Man i'm sure glad I took that chance
A strong woman is hard to find
I'm just glad that I found mine
She is my southern belle
But she ain't scared to raise a little hell
[Chorus]
'Cause I've got a girl that don't take no lip
She's as tough as they come in as hot as it gets
Man she sure looks pretty
When she gets a little dirty
And I like her just like that
Not afraid to get stuck
And she's the only one
Not afraid to get stuck
She's the only one who can drive me truck
Who can drive my truck |
Welcome to the Country | 0 | Na na na na na na na na nah
Na na na na na na na na nah

Muddy boots no high heels
Working hard every day, come Friday night it's time to play
Headin out so jump on in

Ain't afraid to roll up our sleeves, when Monday rolls round again

Nothin Left But Leavin | 0 | Tonight it's so cold the rain is fallin' but it's still not as cold as your love for me
That's why I'm walking down this highway and a diesel going my way
Will take me far from you and you'll be free
There was nothin' left but leavin' for us in Tulsa
But then again the same was throughout in LA
Seems like trouble always finds us so I broke the tie that binds us
There was nothin' left but leavin' anyway
We tried to find our dreams in New Mexico
But the answers just weren't there in Santa Fe
And we could blame it all on Texas but the problem now we fuss is
We never had what we thought anyway
There was nothin' left but leavin' any longer
And I finally found the strenght to walk away
Tell the kids their daddy loves them they'll understand I'm thinkin' of them
There was nothin' left but leavin' anyway there was nothin' left but leavin' anyway |
Watermelon Rind | 0 | [Verse 1]
Well, when I was just a little boy
Not more than four or five years old
Me and my family head to the river
And jump in the swimming hole;
And when we got a little bit hungry
Mama got us something so fine:
She’d pull out a watermelon
And we’d eat it on down to the rind
[Chorus]
Watermelon rind
Watermelon rind!
You ain’t ever in your life
Ever had such a mighty good time
Till you chewed on a watermelon rind, watermelon rind!
Flung down at a river
With my cousins and my sister
No, I never will forget your watermelon rinds
[Verse 2]
Well I’ve been all around this whole wide world
Tampa to Taipei
‘aten at the finest restaurants from London to L.A
For my money I’ll tell you honey
There’s never better that you can find
Than to put a little salt on a watermelon slice
And eat it on down to the rind
[Chorus]
Watermelon rind
Watermelon rind!
You ain’t ever in your life
Ever had such a mighty good time
Till you chewed on a watermelon rind
Watermelon rind!
Flung down at a river
With my cousins and my sister
No I never will forget your watermelon rind, nah
(son!)
Watermelon rind
Watermelon rind!
You ain’t ever in your life
Ever had such a mighty good time
Till you chewed on a watermelon rind, watermelon rind!
Flung down at a river
With my cousins and my sister
No, I never will forget your watermelon rind, nah |
Cowboy Cool | 0 | [Verse 1]
The clothes he wears don't change too much at all
Straw hat in the Spring, felt hat in the fall
His favorite things to do, ropin calves and trippin' steers
He can take the heat, he's cowboy cool
[Chorus]
Cowboy cool, straights the way he shoots
Cowboy cool, his roots are in his boots
He might break a bone or two, but never the golden rule
His mama let her baby grow up to be cowboy cool
[Verse 2]
He'll show up down in Houston the first of every March
And Vegas in December, his Wranglers pressed and starched
Tryin' to break eight seconds and change the swing in his loop
He can take the heat, he's cowboy cool
[Chorus]
Cowboy cool, straights the way he shoots
Cowboy cool, his roots are in his boots
He might break a bone or two, but never the golden rule
His mama let her baby grow up to be cowboy cool
[Outro]
He might break a bone or two, but never the golden rule
His mama let her baby grow up to be cowboy cool
Mama let her baby grow up cowboy cool |
It Hurts Me | 0 | You go by with some other guy
While I stand here alone
You don't think that I should cry
But I'm not made of stone
And I can cry just like anyone can
And I can die just like anyone can
If you hurt me and you hurt me
Every time that you go by
And you are with another guy
It hurts me
Every time that I see you
It hurts me 'cause you know
How I need you so bad
You're the one love
That I ever had
Used to be just you and me
And no one else was there
Now you're gone, I'm all alone
And you don't even care
But I can cry just like anyone can
And I can die just like anyone can
If you hurt me and you hurt me
Every time that you go by
And you are with another guy
It hurts me
Every time that I see you
It hurts me 'cause you know
How I need you so bad
You're the one love
That I ever had
It hurts me
Every time that I see you
It hurts me
Don't you know how I need you
It hurts me
Every time that I see you
It hurts me
Don't you know how I need you
It hurts me
Every time that I see you
It hurts me
Don't you know how I need you
It hurts me... |
I Cant Take You Anywhere | 0 | [Verse 1]
You've been a part of my life for so very long
It's hard for me to believe sometimes that you're really gone
I tuck your memory away in that special hiding place
Hoping no one could tell by the look on my face
That you're still in my heart, always on my mind
Part of my everyday
[Verse 2]
Like just last night I went out for a bite
I tried to have fun with all of my might
But even the laughter, it wasn't much of a break
'Cause right in the middle of my salad and steak
Bobby Joe walked in with a couple of friends
And said, "Hey have you heard from her at all man like
Where's she been?"
[Chorus]
And it, struck a nerve
And it, hit a vein
You'd think from all the tears I cried
And this broken-hearted pain
I wouldn't have to carry you around with me
But it seems like everywhere I go
Somebody wants to know where you've been
Are you coming back again, I swear
I can't take you anywhere
[Verse 3]
So I left all alone, just headed back home
As I listened to the messages on my telephone
There was one from my sister
And one from an old friend
He said, "I drove by your house tonight dude but
You weren't in
Just checking up on you boy, I hope you're doing alright
Oh by the way man, I seen her last night
[Chorus]
And it, hit a vein
You'd think from all the tears I cried
And this broken-hearted pain
I wouldn't have to carry you around with me
But it seems like everywhere I go
Somebody wants to know where you've been
Are you coming back again, I swear
I can't take you anywhere
[Outro]
I swear, I can't take you
Just can't take you
I can't take you anywhere
I can't take you anywhere
I can't take you anywhere
I can't take you anywhere |
I Fall to Pieces | 0 | I fall to pieces each time I see you again
I fall to pieces how can I be just your friend
You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget pretend we've never met
And I've tried oh I've tried but I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces
I fall to pieces each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces time only adds to the flame
You tell me to find someone to love
Someone who'll love me too the way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces you walk by and I fall to pieces |
Walls of Red Wing | 0 | [Verse]
Oh, the age of the inmates
I remember quite freely:
No younger than twelve
No older 'n seventeen
Thrown in like bandits
Cast off like criminals
Inside the grounds
Around the walls of Red Wing
From the dirty old mess hall
You marched to that brick wall
Too weary to talk
And too tired to sing
Oh, it's all afternoon
You remember your home town
Inside the grounds
Around the walls of Red Wing
Oh, the gates are cast iron
And the walls are barbed wire
Stay far from the fence
With the electricity sting
And it's keep down your head
And stay in your number
On the inside grounds
Around the walls of Red Wing
Oh, it's fare-thee-well
To the deep hollow dungeon
Farewell to the board-walk
That takes you to the screen
And farewell to the minutes
They threaten you with it
Inside the grounds
Around the walls of Red Wing
It's many a guard
That stands around smiling
Holding his club
Like he was a king
Hoping to get you
Behind a wood piling
Inside the grounds
Around the walls of Red Wing
The night aimed shadows
Through the crossbar windows
And the wind punched hard
To make the wall-siding sing
It's many a night I pretended to be sleeping
On the inside grounds
Around the walls of Red Wing
As the rain rattled heavy
On the bunk-house shingles
And the sounds in the night
That made my ears ring
Until the keys of the guards
Clicked the tune of the morning
On the inside grounds
Around the walls of Red Wing
Oh, some of us'll end up
In St. Cloud Prison
And some of us'll wind up
To be lawyers and things
And some of us'll stand up
To meet you on your crossroads
From inside the grounds
Around the walls of Red Wing
From the inside grounds
Around the walls of Red Wing |
Nothin But The Cooler Left | 0 | [Verse 1]
Been waitin' all week
About to bust loose
Get the party iced down in my off-shore Igloo
Everybody's gatherin' around
Wherever we are that's where we're throwin' down
[Chorus]
Oh, yeah
Everybody grab a cold beer
Pop it open, raise it up in the air
Bump cans with your neighbor, yeah
Here's to good ole boys and country girls everywhere
Livin' loud, rockin' out to the sound of our favorite songs
Y'all sing along, this night ain't over yet
We're gonna stay right here til there's nothing but the cooler left
[Verse 2]
Ain't gonna waste one drop of this Friday night
Been buildin' up a thirst for a hell of a time
Got my boots on and ready to kick it off, brother
If you're runnin' low, holler throw me another
[Chorus]
Oh, yeah
Everybody grab a cold beer
Pop it open, raise it up in the air
Bump cans with your neighbor, yeah
Here's to good ole boys and country girls everywhere
Livin' loud, rockin' out to the sound of our favorite songs
Y'all sing along, this night ain't over yet
We're gonna stay right here til there's nothing but the cooler left
Oh, yeah
Everybody grab a cold beer
Pop it open, raise it up in the air
Bump cans with your neighbor, yeah
Here's to good ole boys and country girls everywhere
Livin' loud, rockin' out to the sound of our favorite songs
Y'all sing along, this night ain't over yet
We're gonna stay right here til there's nothing but the cooler left
[Outro]
Yeah, dance along, drink along
Come On, get your party on
Everybody with me 'til there's nothin' but the cooler left
Sip it son, shotgun
Either way we're ending up a couple past tipsy
With nothin' but the cooler left |
Circles | 0 | [Verse 1]
Like the bubbles floating in my beer
Circles
Like a bobber when I'm fishing off the pier
Circles
Like a quarter in the jukebox dropped at the Waffle House
Everywhere I look around I see circles, circles
[Chorus]
Like the wheels on my truck and my radio dial
Left-hand turns of a NASCAR mile
Girls on the dance floor spinning around
The moon coming up, sun going down
Ring on her finger
Ring on the bar
The hole in the middle of my old guitar
The world is a ball, y'all
It's all about circles, circles
It's all about circles, circles
[Verse 2]
There's a bill sitting in my mailbox
Rectangle
I got a neighbor when I party call the cops
Square, man
Got a nail from the driveway
Poking through my Firestone
Flat circle
I only like circles
[Chorus]
Like the wheels on my truck and my radio dial
Left-hand turns of a NASCAR mile
Girls on the dance floor spinning around
The moon coming up, sun going down
Ring on her finger
Ring on the bar
The hole in the middle of my old guitar
The world is a ball y'all
It's all about circles, circles
It's all about circles, circles
[Chorus]
Like the wheels on my truck and my radio dial
The left-hand turns of a NASCAR mile
Girls on the dance floor spinning around
The moon coming up, sun going down
[Outro]
The clock on the wall when it's quitting time
Bonfire burning with some friends of mine
The world is a ball, y'all
It's all about circles, circles (It's all about, it's all about)
It's all about circles, circles (It's all about, it's all about)
Circles |
Fade Into You | 0 | (feat. Sam Palladio and Clare Bowen)
If you were the ocean and I was the sun
If the day made me heavy and gravity won
If I was the red and you were the blue
I could just fade into you
If you were a window and I was the rain
I'd pour myself out and wash off the pain
I'd fall like a tear so your light could shine through
Then I'd just fade into you
In your heart in your head in your
Arms in your bed under your skin
Til there's no way to know where
You end and where I begin
If I was a shadow and you were a
Street
The cobblestone midnight is where
We first meet
Til the lights flickered out, we
Dance with the moon
Then I'd just fade into you
In your heart in your head in your
Arms in your bed under your skin
Til there's no way to know where
You end and where I begin
I wanna melt in I wanna soak through
I only wanna move when you move
I wanna breathe out when you
Breathe in then I wanna fade into you
If I was just ashes and you were
The ground
And under your willow they laid me
Down
There'll be no trace that one was
Once two
After I fade into you
(Ooooh....)
Then I'd just fade into you (4x) |
St. Claires Retreat | 0 | [Verse 1]
I said a prayer for good St. Claire
And then I said one more for you
'Cause when that evenin' sun came down, I felt blue
I never meant to do you right
Not like you've never done for me
The good old prayer was quick to offer her a treat
[Verse 2]
They say dreams are just feelings in a bottle
And I get to thinkin' I could use a few
And I get to thinkin' 'bout you
I should climb up on a mountain on my own two feet
'Cause the doors are always open
And the rates are always cheap
[Chorus]
I'll leave a candle in the window
But I may as well like to
Say a prayer for good St. Claire
And one for you
[Verse 3]
Time has its way of making its escape
Years go by, I wonder where did all of ours go
If I could do things all over again
I'd have spent those nights with you
Left sweet Claire like a fool to someone new
[Verse 4]
They say touch is what we need to keep us livin'
But I've made a livin' out of lyin' to you
Lord, what did I do?
I started out with good intentions
With the sunshine comes the rain
Who knew the slightest provocation
Could wash good intentions all away?
[Chorus]
I'll leave a candle in the window
But I may as well like to
Say a prayer for good St. Claire
And one for you
[Outro]
Say a prayer for good St. Claire
And one for you |
High | 0 | High, high as a kite I will fly away. Low as the rock that I’ve hit
It’s an inevitable feeling an irrevocable dealing of the cards
And I’m just laying here praying you’ll tell me it’s hard
Harder than it seems
To know myself is my greatest disease. To fear all the things I don’t know. (I don’t wanna know)
Like a wayfairing stranger or a lamb in a manger I’m scorned
And I’m just sitting here staring and bearing the norm
Sing high, high and away
Sing high, high and away
Sing high, high and away
Sing high, high and away |
I Threw Away The Rose | 0 | Once I lived a life of wine and roses
I drank a lot back then for one concern
Success for me lay just around the corner
I thought my social friend would help me make the turn
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
A victim of the drunken life I chose
Now all my social friends look down their noses
For I kept the wine and threw away the rose
I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me
The turn I made was not the one I planned
And I watched my social standings slip away from me
As I slowly watched the bottle take command
And now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
A victim of the drunken life I chose
Now all my social friends look down their noses
For I kept the wine and through away the rose... |
Real Man | 0 | I came home from college to see my old man
He was sittin' on the porch swing, with a book in his hand
He stared at my earring, and at my tattoo
He smiled and shook his head and said
It's good to see you
He chose his words carefully cause it was hard for me to come
And he knew I had ta temper and where I got it from
I waited for the sermon, the one I knew so well
But this time he wasn't preachin'
About heaven or hell
He said a real man knows the value of a woman
A real man has got nothin to prove
He's strenthened by love
And the Lord up above
So do the best that you can
To be a real man
Could it be that I saw just a glimpse of his soul
Or maybe losin' Mama had just taken it's toll
He gave me his Bible, stained with tears he had cried
And I opened up the cover
Where he wrote inside
And it said
A real man has got nothin to prove
He's strenthened by love
And the Lord up above
So do the best that you can
To be a real man
Do the best that you can
To be a real man... |
Troubled Soul | 0 | Woke up this morning, to a record that’s played
Felt the whiskey burning from yesterday
Sick of this lonesome motel room
But I think I won’t leave any time soon
I felt a heavy hand on my chest
Laid me to bed but I couldn’t rest
Troubled soul with a worried mind
I pick up my guitar and I take a chug of wine
One step ahead, but only in here
Constant fear of more despair
I met a girl, her name was Emma
She comforts me and gets me like my aunt Nora
Eased the voices and helped me keep steady
But still my thoughts felt, oh, so much heavy
I felt a heavy hand on my chest
Laid me to bed but I couldn’t rest
Troubled soul with a worried mind
I pick up my guitar and I take a chug of wine
One step ahead, but only in here
Constant fear of more despair
Troubled soul with a worried mind
I pick up my guitar and I take a chug of wine
One step ahead, but only in here
Constant fear of more despair
A spiral that hits me out of control
I reckon that I’m hard to console |
Millers Cave | 0 | Way down in the state of Georgia
Amongst the swamps and the Everglades
There's a big old hole in Tiger Mountain
God help the man who gets lost in Miller's Cave
I had me a girl in Waycross, Georgia
But she had unfaithful ways
She made me feel I was unwanted
Like the bats and the bears in Miller's Cave
I caught her out Sunday morning
With some guy they called Big Dave
The meanest man in Waycross, Georgia
I'd rather fight a mountain lion in Miller's Cave
So I said, "You're gonna pay both you and Davy
'Cause I'm gonna see you in your graves"
And they laughed at me and then I shot 'em
And then I dragged their cheatin' skin and bones to Miller's Cave
I couldn't stand the way she did me
Well I guess I showed her I was brave
Most wanted man in the state of Georgia
They're never gonna find me 'cause I'm lost in Miller's Cave |
Six Days On The Road | 0 | Well, I pulled out of Pittsburgh, rolling down the Eastern seaboard
I got my diesel wound up, and she's a-runnin' like never before
There's a speed zone ahead, alright
But I don't see a cop in sight
Six days on the road, and I'm gonna make it home tonight
I got ten forward gears and a George Overdrive
I'm takin' little white pills, and my eyes are opened wide
I just passed a Jimmy and White
I been passing everything in sight
Six days on the road, and I'm gonna make it home tonight
Well, it seems like a month since I kissed my baby goodbye
I could have a lotta women, but I'm not like some other guys
I could find me one to hold me tight
But I could never make believe it's alright
Six days on the road, and I'm gonna make it home tonight
The FBI is checkin' on down the line
Well, I'm a little overweight, but my log book's way behind
But nothing bothers me tonight
I'm gonna dodge all the scales, alright
Six days on the road, and I'm gonna make it home tonight
My rig's a little old, but that don't mean she's slow
There's a good flame blowing from her smokestack, black as coal
Well, my home town's comming in sight
And if you think I'm happy, you're right
Six days on the road, and I'm gonna make it home tonight |
Ill Be on My Way | 0 | [Verse 1]
Oh, sir we'll be soon Mississippi bound
Another city and another town
My own true lover wants me to stay
But you know it won't be long and I'll be on my way
Through Pennsylvania, down in between
Cincinnati, Louisville to New Orleans
[Verse 2]
I'll keep your picture in the gold frame
While I make my livin' stokin' flame
Every hour spent shovelin' coal
You know I miss you, baby, with my heart and soul
I'll return to you to you someday
It won't be long and I'll be on my way
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
You know I'd stay here for a while, but that just ain't my style
To tell you that I'd stay is a game I can't play
I'll be on my way
Through Pennsylvania, down in between
Cincinnati, Louisville to New Orleans |
Another War | 0 | [Verse 1]
Rebels point their loaded causes
Into windows where you breathe
They don’t grieve the empty losses
And they don’t stay to see you bleed
Silent threats they scream in the night
And the wind cries out in funereal tones
You kneel down and pray for the light
‘cause darkness of room won’t leave you alone
[Chorus]
Conversation on our porches
Dead man lying at our back door
While the blind men carry torches
To light the way for another war
[Verse 2]
Schoolboy dressed in battle fatigues
Has some ancient theory to defend
He just got finished playing make believe
Now he’s trading stories with the men
A loyal soldier knows his order
And takes his promise to the grave
The battle rages on the border
And we send money in freedom’s name
[Chorus]
Conversation on our porches
Dead man lying at our back door
While the blind men carry torches
To light the way for another war
[Bridge]
More and more black boots on stakes
In front of houses filled with tears
We can learn from our mistakes
Or just let them pass away with the years
[Verse 3]
The soldier plays a bamboo flute
A song he used to sing at home
For a fifteen year old prostitute
And teaches her to sing along
The song sounds like a lullaby
She sings the words of quiet love
They could sing that song all night
But a knock on the door says time is up
[Chorus]
Conversation on our porches
Dead man lying at our back door
While the blind men carry torches
To light the way for another war
Conversation on our porches
Dead man lying at our back door
While the blind men carry torches
To light the way for another war |
Does To Me | 0 | [Verse 1: Luke Combs]
I was a third-string dreamer on a second-place team
But I was hell on wheels with a full head of steam
When coach put me in
And I'm still proud of that hit
I was a last resort to go to prom with the queen
Thanks to an ex-boyfriend who broke her heart that week
No, I didn't get lucky
But I still felt like a king
And that might not mean much to you
But it does to me
[Chorus: Luke Combs]
So say I'm a middle of the road
Not much to show
Underachieving, average Joe
But I'm a hell of a lover
A damn good brother
And I wear this heart on my sleeve
And that might not mean much to you
But it does to me
[Verse 2: Luke Combs]
I was the one phone call when my brother went to jail
Pawned my guitar just to pay his bail
No, I'll never get it back
But I'm okay with that
I was the first man standing next to my best friend
The day the love of his life said "I do" to him
I was a couple beers deep
But I still remembered that speech
And that might not mean much to you
But it does to me
[Chorus: Luke Combs]
So say I'm a middle of the road
Not much to show
Underachieving, average Joe
But I'm a hell of a lover
A damn good brother
And I wear this heart on my sleeve
And that might not mean much to you
But it does to me
[Bridge: Eric Church]
There's a worn-out blade that my granddaddy gave me
My mama's first Bible, Daddy's Don Williams vinyl
That first-fish-catching Zebco thirty-three
Well, that might not mean much to you
But it does to me
[Chorus: Luke Combs & Eric Church]
So say I'm a middle of the road
Not much to show
Underachieving average Joe (Average Joe)
But I'm a hell of a lover
A damn good brother
And I wear this heart on my sleeve
And I'm a damn hard working
One thing's for certain
I stand up for what I believe (For what I believe)
That might not mean much to you
But it does to me
Yeah, it does to me
And that might not mean much to you
But it does to me
[Outro: Eric Church]
Oh, it does to me
Oh man, it does to me |
Long Before | 0 | Long before what is black was blackened
O, long before
Blooms of gray made mother lovely
Mother ain't lovely no more
And long before the house was leaning
O, long before
The corridor of box woods lined the entrance
Box woods ain't there no more
Dad burned the box woods
And liked to burned the house
But one came wandering and beat daddy down
O, long before
Long before this road seemed knotted
O, long before
There was but one path, dim and cozy
Path don't seem to be no more
And long before you were my sister
O, long before
Gals in town, they called me mister
Ain't no girl call on me no more
I cut the card loosewise
Were you not my only dream?
Give the hero his house
He and Ma live in sin
O, long before
And long before you were an artwork
O, long before
Mama suckled you on her holy breast
Mama's breast ain't holy no more
Long before we shared a shortsheet
O, long before
I stood above you as you slept
I don't stand above no more
We've one little mobile
And one filthy path
And will drift along tongueless
Unhappiness at last
Will last
And last
Till we see fit to stand before
That virgin cunt, that sainted whore
Whose piss we have slept under
Whose smell we have bore
Is her heelprint that marks our faces?
O, long before |
Walk Like A Man | 0 | [Verse 1]
In the fights they had he'd cover up his ears
Thought big boys don't cry, fought back all the tears
Mama had use her make-up, to hide the bruises on his face
In the morning they'd pretend that there'd never ever been a trace
His old man woke him up to help him find the car
Take the bus uptown outside some rundown bar
And swore that he was quitting
And then he'd start to cry
And though the boy knew the truth
Sometimes he'd still believe that lie
[Verse 2]
When the sins of the father are the sins of the son
All you do is crawl when you want to run
And God gave boys their mamas cause
They always see their promise
And they help them understand
How to walk like a man
Walk like a man
[Verse 3]
They moved a lot of places, they never settled down
It got pretty old being the new kid in town
He always told his friends, my daddy's sick today
Said he'd be rich if he had a nickel every time he heard his mama say
[Verse 4]
The sins of the father are the sins of the son
Crawl before you walk, boy
Walk before you run
Come on, stand up straight, I'm proud of you
Take my hand
I know you can
Walk like a man
Walk like a man
[Verse 5]
Your daddy's demons are calling your name
Don't you listen to them cause they've got no claim
Temptations may come, that isn’t no sin
You get stronger every time that you don't give in
[Verse 6]
The sins of the father are the sins of the son
You can't undo what has been done
You'll have to retrace his footsteps
Through the sand
And pray you find the love of a girl
And take her by the hand
And walk on
Walk like a man |
The Only Light | 0 | Just another Texas bus stop
Texas never seems to end
On my seventh cup a' coffee
Waitress, hit me once again
Gotta date in Colorado
With the woman in my life
I've seen enough of fairgrounds
An' singin' in the lights
'Cause the only light I wanna see
Is the light that's in the eyes
Of the woman waitin' up for me again
Yeah, the only light I wanna see
Is a candle in the winda
An' the open door that she'll be standin' in
Driver says, "It's time, folks"
So we straggle back on board
Just me, a nun, two cowboys
An' a guy in back that snored
Been twenty-seven hours
Full a' anything but fun
An' over my right shoulder
There's an early-mornin' sun
But the only light I wanna see
Is the light that's in the eyes
Of a woman waitin' up for me again
Yeah, the only light I wanna see
Is a candle in the winda
An' the open door that she'll be standin' in
Goin' on forty hours
An' I've been too long alone
But it's only just a walk, now
Up the hill and then I'm home
I've seen too many bus stops
An' I've sung my share a' songs
But the spotlight only matters
When it's shinin' in my home
'Cause the only light I wanna see
Is a light that's in the eyes
Of a woman waitin' up for me again
Yeah, the only light I wanna see
Is a candle in the winda
An' the open door that she'll be standin' in
[Fade out]
Yeah, the only light I wanna see
Is the light that's in the eyes
Of a woman waitin' up for me again
Yeah, the only light I wanna see
Is a candle in the winda
An' the open door that she'll be standin' in
'Cause the only light I wanna see
Is the light that's in the eyes
Of the woman waitin' up for me again
Yeah, the only light I wanna see... |
Grew Apart - Piano | 0 | I don’t tell ‘em 'bout the things you said
I don’t tell ‘em ‘bout the night you left
I don’t show ‘em these texts I saved
All the games you played
They don’t know nothing ‘bout it
Whenever somebody says your name
I don’t break, I just say
It’s for the best, it’s over now
Wasn’t anyone’s fault, it didn’t work out
She’s a good girl, just wasn’t the one
We wanted different things, we had a good run
But she’s better off, and so am I
It is what it is man it’s alright
I won’t tell ‘em how you broke my heart
I just tell ‘em that we grew apart
I could tell 'em how you came in late
I could tell 'em how you looked me in the eye
And told that lie with a straight face
I don’t know why I don’t, but maybe I hope
It ain’t really over
But what’s that say about me
Am I that weak?
'Cause I just keep saying
It’s for the best, it’s over now
Wasn’t anyone’s fault, it didn’t work out
She’s a good girl, just wasn’t the one
We wanted different things, we had a good run
But she’s better off, and so am I
It is what it is man, it’s alright
I won’t tell ‘em how you broke my heart
I just tell ‘em that we grew apart
I swear that I've been
I've been trying something
But I can't deny when
You know I felt it coming
I felt it coming
It’s for the best, it’s over now
Wasn’t anyone’s fault, it didn’t work out
She’s a good girl, just wasn’t the one
We wanted different things, we had a good run
But she’s better off, and so am I
It is what it is man it’s alright
I won’t tell ‘em how you broke my heart
I just tell ‘em that we grew apart
I won’t tell ‘em how you broke my heart
I just tell ‘em that we grew apart
I won’t tell ‘em how you broke my heart
I just tell ‘em that we grew apart |
New Day | 0 | It felt like I was dying
I just forgot to breathe
Bad times were brewing
And (?)
As I come around this corner
You can see that things have changed
'Cause I'm still your old buddy boy but
I'm not the same
It's a new day
You can see it in my eyes
I nearly never felt that alive
It's a new day
Just feel the sun rise
As it warms you up inside
It may turn the dark into light
As I opened up my eyes
Began to realize
Forgot about my sorrows, it was the end of all those lies
It's a new beginning
It's a brand new start
Like a power up for my rusted heart
It's a new day
You can see it in my eyes
I nearly never felt that alive
It's a new day
Just feel the sun rise
As it warms you up inside
It may turn the dark into light
Love might go to heaven
Love might go to hell
But if you don't try, no one can tell
So don't be pessimistic
You know I'm serious
Just come on over baby, give me another kiss
It's a new day
You can see it in my eyes
I nearly never felt that alive
It's a new day
Just feel the sun rise
As it warms you up inside
It may turn the dark into light |
Whiskey in My Water | 0 | [Instrumental break]
[Verse 1]
In my truck flying down a dirt road
Pickin' you up, feelin' kinda crazy
I think I'm in luck cause I know my baby
She slaps my knee says: "boy why you smiling?"
Doing my best so hard to hide it
I know what's up, so I just shoot her a wink
[Chorus]
Cause when the sun goes down it'll get a little hotter
Make an old boy's heart beat a little harder
I know I can't lose cause it's going down smooth tonight, baby
One ain't enough man may I have another Sitting 'round the fire gettin' drunk on each other
Every day I pray I thank God I got her She's the moon in my shine, the whiskey in my water
[Verse 2]
When we're past Flint Bridge, we'll break out the bottle
Drop it down low, crank up the throttle
I'm good to go, cause I've got you tonight, baby
[Chorus]
Cause when the sun goes down it'll get a little hotter
Make an old boy's heart beat a little harder
I know I can't lose cause it's going down smooth tonight, baby
One ain't enough man may I have another Sitting 'round the fire gettin' drunk on each other
Every day I pray I thank God I got her She's the moon in my shine, the whiskey in my water
[Bridge]
Sitting on this hill with her
Looking in them baby blues
Wishing that the sky would change
I've been thinking about it all damn day
I can hardly wait
[Chorus]
Cause when the sun goes down it'll get a little hotter
Make an old boy's heart beat a little harder
I know I can't lose cause it's going down smooth tonight baby
One ain't enough man may I have another Sitting 'round the fire gettin' drunk on each other
Every day I pray I thank God I got her She's the moon in my shine, the whiskey in my water

Whiskey in my water
Whiskey in my water yeah yeah yeah |
Love Is On A Roll | 0 | [Verse 1]
I can't work late although I need the money
Gotta get home to my lovin' honey
She'll be there waitin', waitin' impatiently
Love is on a roll, love is on a good roll
[Verse 2]
Usually I meet with the boys on Friday
Only this mornin' she said "This is my day"
The look she gave me sent a shiver down into my soul
Love is on a roll, love is on a good roll
[Chorus]
Our love is on a roll
Our love is on a good roll
[Verse 3]
I'm a songwriter, a professional dreamer
Mostly a singer but sometimes a screamer
I should know if anybody knows at all
That when love is on a roll, love is on a good roll
[Verse 4]
So I gotta go, I gotta get home early
Be with my woman, she's soft and curvy
Makes me feel like a king and not a regular Joe
Love is on a roll, love is on a good roll
Yeah, love is on a roll, love is on a good roll
[Chorus]
Our love is on a roll
Our love is on a good roll
Our love is on a roll
Our love is on a good roll
[Outro]
Love is on a roll, love is on a good roll
Love is on a roll, love is on a good roll
Love is on a roll, love is on a good roll
Love is on a roll, love is on a good roll |
Everybody Knows | 0 | [Verse 1]
Tell me now if you came sneaking up behind
Would you know me and see behind the smile?
I can change like colors on a wall
Hoping no one else will find what lies beneath it all
I think I hide it all so well
[Chorus]
Stepping out, everyone can see my face
All the things I can't erase from my life
Everybody knows
Standing out so you won't forget my name
That's the way we play this game of life
Everybody knows
[Verse 2]
Looking through the crowd
I search for something else
But every time I turn around
I run into myself
Here I stand
Consumed with my surroundings
Just another day
Of everybody looking
I swore they'd never see me cry
You'll never see me cry
[Chorus]
Stepping out, everyone can see my face
All the things I can't erase from my life
Everybody knows
Standing out so you won't forget my name
That's the way we play this game of life
Everybody knows
[Verse 3]
You say I'll pay the price
That's the chance that I'll take
Though you may think I'm telling lies
But I just call it getting by
[Chorus]
Stepping out, everyone can see my face
All the things I can't erase from my life
Everybody knows
Standing out so you won't forget my name
That's the way we play this game of life
Everybody knows
[Outro]
Everybody knows
I'm just barely getting by
Everybody knows
I'm just barely getting by
Everybody knows |
Lovin You | 0 | Lovin' You
But you don't want me to
I'm trying to forget
But its not working yet
I wish I could have been
What you say you wanted then
I was a damaged man
From a love I had lost
Town to town
I was steady falling down
I would not try to see
Could of well been blind
You say you loved me then
Well I wish you could again
I won't ask you to pretend
Cause you never asked me
I feel so weak inside
From the hurt I tried to hide
I see you you everywhere
Everywhere I go
You say you loved me then
Oh I wish you could again
I can't ask you to pretend
Cause you never asked me
Loving you
But you don't want me to
I'm trying to forget
But its not working yet |
The Radio | 0 | [Verse 1:]
There's a long white line stretching out on the road ahead
And there ain't one magazine that I ain't read
I haven't seen you in weeks but I hear you on the radio
Singing soft and low
[Chorus:]
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
[Verse 2:]
There never seems to be time for me and you
That's a price you pay for the life you choose
Tonight's the loneliest night I've ever known
It just goes on and on
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
It does my heart good to see you shine
So I'll just keep on counting these white lines
I haven't seen you in weeks but I hear you on the radio
Calling me back home
[Chorus][Till fade] |
Short Haired Woman Blues | 0 | Met her on a harvest moon once upon a time in the Midwest
She told me as we stole away that she was freer than all the rest
With her hair cut like a farm boy and her cards so close to her vest
Just how much harm she could do me, no I never would have guessed
Chorus:
Don’t go chasing wild ponies
They’re half crazy and they run
Don’t go loving short-haired women
They’re gonna leave you crying
After thinking it was all in fun
We came upon a boomer’s shack, she broke the windows just because
And there along the railroad track, she laid me down, that’s how she was
With the first rush of the freight train, there was rain on the high summer corn
Oh it’s just a game she told me; I said no, "I am reborn"
Chorus
Mmm all in fun
As for her whereabouts, I hear she’s living in Baton Rouge
Giving all those Creole men the short-haired woman blues
Chorus
The short-haired woman blues |
I Can Lie | 0 | [Verse 1]
Say I wear my heart on my sleeve
Didn't take too long
For you to go take off and leave
Always something wrong
Every time you’d say goodbye
Always claimed you'd write
Tell me that I couldn't fly
Tried to clip my wings in flight
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t care what you think about me
Now unless you're gone
For giving me my own voice
And now I got this song
[Chorus]
I can cry, I can smile
I can steal hearts that run wild
I can try, cuss, and yell
I can tell you "Go straight to hell"
I can breathe, pray, and sin
Stomp my feet and throw a fit
I can lie right to your face
You can't do a damn thing about it
Boy, I can lie
[Verse 2]
Knew my heart started to leave
Baby, when we didn't belong
So I got to thinking real
That you're not the one
Everything you did to me
Only sealed our fate
Never thought that you would see
This girl walkin' away
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't care what you think about me
Now your ass is gone
For giving me my own voice
And now I got this song
[Chorus]
I can cry, I can smile
I can steal hearts that run wild
I can try, cuss, and yell
I can tell you "Go straight to hell"
I can breathe, pray, and sin
Stomp my feet and throw a fit
I can lie right to your face
You can't do a damn thing about it
No, I can lie
[Breakdown]
[Chorus]
Yeah, I can cry, I can smile
I can steal hearts that run wild
Oh, I can try, cuss, and yell
I can tell you "Go straight to hell"
I can breathe, pray, and sin
Stomp my feet and throw a fit
I can lie right to your face
You can’t do a damn thing about it
[Outro]
I can cry, I can smile
I can steal hearts that run wild
I can try, cuss, and yell
I can tell you "Go straight to hell"
I can breathe, pray, and sin
Stomp my feet and throw a fit
I can lie right to your face
You can’t do a damn thing about it
No, I can lie |
Crash My Party | 0 | [Verse 1]
It don't matter what plans I got, I can break ‘em
Yeah, I can turn this thing around at the next red light
And I don't mind telling all the girls I can't meet ‘em
Hell, we can all go raise hell on any other night
Boy, I don't care, oh I just gotta see what you're wearing
Your hair, is it messed up or falling down?
Oh I just have to see it now
[Chorus]
If you wanna call me, call me, call me
You don't have to worry ‘bout it baby
You can wake me up in the dead of the night
Wreck my plans, baby that's alright
This is a drop everything kind of thing
Swing on by and I'll pour you a drink
The door's unlocked, I'll leave on the lights
Baby you can crash my party anytime
[Verse 2]
Ain't a spot downtown that's rockin' the way that you rock me
Ain't a bar that can make me buzz the way that you do
I could be on the front row of the best show
And look down and see your face on my phone
And I'm gone so long, hang on, I'll meet you in a minute or two
[Chorus]
So if you wanna call me, call me, call me
You don't have to worry ‘bout it baby
You can wake me up in the dead of the night;
Wreck my plans, baby that's alright
This is a drop everything kind of thing
Swing on by and I'll pour you a drink
The door's unlocked. I'll leave on the lights
Baby you can crash my party anytime
[Bridge]
Oh oh oh
If it's two in the morning
And you're feeling lonely
And wondering what I'm doing
[Chorus]
Go ahead and call me, call me, call me
You don't have to worry ‘bout it baby
You can wake me up in the dead of the night;
Wreck my plans, baby that's alright
This is a drop everything kind of thing
Swing on by and I'll pour you a drink
The door's unlocked. I'll leave on the lights
Baby you can crash my party anytime
You can crash my party anytime
Anytime |
Hold On To Let Go | 0 | [Verse 1]
See no walls, so I'm free
There's no place I'd rather be
On this misty morning in this old town
With only hope and a message for the lonely
[Chorus]
Got my head high
Got my soul shining
Got my tears flowing
Got the wheels turning
Got the sunshine
Got ideas lighting
Got the whole world beside me
Got to hold on to let go
Got to hold on to let go
[Verse 2]
I sit here on my porch
Feel the wind, I'm free I'm sure
I'll leave the outside world for what it's worth
Oh, my only hope is to ignore feeling lonely
[Chorus]
Got my head high
Got my soul shining
Got my tears flowing
Got the wheels turning
Got the sunshine
Got ideas lighting
Got the whole world beside me
Got to hold on to let go
Got to hold on to let go
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Got my head high
Got my soul shining
Got my tears flowing
Got the wheels turning
Got the sunshine
Got ideas lighting
Got the whole world beside me
Got to hold on to let go
Got to hold on to let go |
Rose of Cimarron | 0 | [Chorus]
Roll along, roll on, rose of Cimarron
Dusty days are gone, rose of Cimarron
[Verse 1]
Shadows touch the sand and look to see who's standing
Waiting at your window, watching, will they ever show?
Can you hear them calling? You know they have fallen on
Campfires cold and dark now, never see a spark burn bright
[Chorus]
Roll along, roll on, rose of Cimarron
Dusty days are gone, rose of Cimarron
[Verse 2]
Trails that got them home kept the names they've known
Four days high and lonely coming to you only
You're the one they turn to, the only one they knew
You're all the best to be around when the chips were down
[Chorus]
Roll along, roll on, rose of Cimarron
Dusty days are gone, rose of Cimarron
Roll along, roll on, rose of Cimarron
Dusty days are gone, rose of Cimarron |
Let There Be Lonely | 0 | Let there be lonely, I'm ready to grieve
The love I've been holdin’ on to
I've tried so hard to keep sayin’ you're mine
Now it's time, now it's time
Let there be hurtin’ I'm craving the tears
That have burned in my eyes for so long
I want to feel every drop of the pain
As I cry, as I cry
I'm gonna’ suffer the aching I've earned
Mark this one down as a lesson I've learned
Cause the only way out of here
It's the only way out of here
Let there be daggers that tear through my skin
Down to my heart where the whole thing begins
Make me a new one and I'll love again
Until then, until then
Let there be lonely
It's the only way out of here
Oh the only way out of here
Let there be lonely I'm ready to grieve
The love I've been holding on to
I've tried so hard to keep sayin’ you're mine
Now it's time, now it's time |
Get Back | 0 | Cried one too many tears
Spent too many years
Worrying about whatever bothers you
Eggshells broken down
No way to tread your ground
Can’t make you happy and me be happy too
Love ain’t always fair in times like these
But love is all we need
It’s high time to feel fine again and have my back
Been lookin’ in the mirror it ain’t me I’m lookin’ at
The girl I knew inside has gotten way off track
If I turn around retrace my steps I’ll find her and get back, get back
Been runnin down a road
That one too many know
You know it’s wrong but you force it to be right
Can’t build a happy home with only sticks and stones
And a man who only dims your light
Love ain’t always fair in timеs like these
But lovе, yeah love is all we need
It’s high time to feel fine again and have my back
Been lookin’ in the mirror it ain’t me I’m lookin’ at
The girl I knew inside has gotten way off track
If I turn around retrace my steps I’ll find her and get back
To rainbows overhead
Where the grass is green again
I’m gonna find it
It’s high time to feel fine again and have my back
Been lookin’ in the mirror it ain’t me I’m lookin’ at
The girl I knew inside has gotten way off track
If I turn around retrace my steps I’ll find her
If I turn around retrace my steps I’ll find her and get back |
Drop a Tailgate | 0 | [Verse 1]
Somethin’ bout 95 degree summer days
Somethin’ bout rockin’ out and trying to find some shade
Pour it up and take a sip feel the fire on your lips
Lay it back and take it slow and blast that stereo
[Chous]
Roll up 3 O’clock, pop me a pop top, I'm all ready for a good time
Girls in daisy dukes, hair down, lettin' loose, soakin' in the sunshine
Live it up and drink too much
And drop a tailgate
(C'mon)
[Verse 2]
Somethin’ 'bout singin' loud with people we don't know
Stars and Stripes flyin' high on truck flagpoles (that’s right)
Fillin' up this Yeti cup with the good stuff
Sunglass shades. summer haze, and time to waste
[Chous]
Roll up 3 O’clock, pop me a pop top, I'm all ready for a good time
Girls in daisy dukes, hair down, lettin' loose, soakin' in the sunshine
Live it up and drink too much
And drop a tailgate
(Oh yeah we gonna turn this thing into a party)
[Bridge]
Roll up 3 O’clock, pop me a pop top, I'm all ready for a good time
[Outro]
Roll up 3 O’clock, pop me a pop top, I'm all ready for a good time
Girls in daisy dukes, hair down, lettin' loose, soakin' in the sunshine
Live it up and drink too much
Live it up and drink too much
And drop a tailgate
And drop a tailgate
And drop a tailgate |
Low and Lonely | 0 | Low And Lonely sad and blue
Thinking only of little you
Always tryin' to keep from cryin'
I'm Low And Lonely over you
CHORUS
Do you miss me? Say you do!
Tell me darlin', please tell me true
Do you yearn dear for my return dear?
I'm Low And Lonely over you
Low And Lonely, weary, too
You're the only, true love I knew
Don't be long, dear, you know it's wrong, dear
I'm Low And Lonely over you
CHORUS |
Cherry Red | 0 | [Verse 1]
I was thinking back to the first time we met
Over plangent chords in a sad vignette
You were waving goodbye in a cherry red Corvette
And your lips were too
Cherry red, that is; with the sky so blue
It was almost mean, and your eyes were too
So blue, that is; now I am too
And my heart burns cherry red for you
[Chorus]
Now my heart burns cherry red for you
Like a fire of Beech wood, the saw don't like it
But you get some cut, one match will strike it
And the embers glow 'til the wee small hours
When the old seems almost new
That's when my heart burns cherry red for you
[Verse 2]
It was cherry red, with the custom flames
At the hot rod show, when the Kingsmen came
And that bass guitar, it rattled my frame
And it shook you too
That Corvette was Big Daddy Roth's design
Get your picture for a dollar and have it signed
First you got yours, then I got mine
And my heart burned cherry red for you
[Chorus]
Now my heart burns cherry red for you
Like a fire of Beech wood, the saw don't like it
But you get some cut, one match will strike it
And the embers glow 'til the wee small hours
When the old seems almost new
That's when my heart burns cherry red for you
[Bridge]
That's when my heart burns cherry red
My heart burns cherry red
That's when my heart burns cherry red for you
[Verse 3]
Now that fake blue sky, it sure looked real
Like you were going to California to make a deal
With the God of youth, with the man of steel
Waving toodle-loo
Now if I was young, I might track you down
But this old picture is all I found
Now my bones are shakin', my teeth are ground down
But my heart burns cherry red for you
[Chorus]
Yeah my heart burns cherry red for you
Like a fire of Beech wood, the saw don't like it
But you get some cut, one match will strike it
And the embers glow 'til the wee small hours
When the old seems almost new
That's when my heart burns cherry red
That's when my heart burns cherry red
That's when my heart burns cherry red for you |
I Still Believe In You | 0 | [Verse 1]
I still remember when I chose to pull the thread
Unlearning every word that I had ever read
Started a civil war between my heart and head
Oh and I have my days I wish I could go back again
[Chorus]
Nothing is easy now, not like it was before
I built my world around something not there anymore
And when it all fell down I found it was never true
Don't know what I believe but I still believe in you
[Verse 2]
Surfing the static of an AM radio
Same old sermon, same old song
It's problematic whеn the world's about to blow
And you don't know anything is wrong
Oh no, no
[Chorus]
Nothing is easy now, not like it was bеfore
I built my world around something not there anymore
And when it all fell down I found it was never true
Don't know what I believe but I still believe in you
I still believe in you, yeah
[Chorus]
Nothing is easy now, not like it was before
I built my world around something not there anymore
And when it all fell down I found it was never true
Don't know what I believe but I still believe in you
I still believe in you |
Toilet Where My Heart Was | 0 | I've got a toilet where my heart once was
To flush out the bad love
That was burying me
I sent it all under the city
Through old pipes and pretty
Soon out to the sea
There's a full tank of gas in this little clown car
Put your suitcases in
We can drive 'til it's morning again
If that's alright
It's sad to say but there's no doubt
Good flows with the bad out
And spirals in kind
Oh, the toilet where my heart once was
Flushed out all the bad love
And left nothing behind |
My Life’s Been a Pleasure | 0 | I still love you as I did in yesterday
Many years have gone by though it seems just like a day
It's no wonder that I love you you have been so kind and true
There will never be another it will always be just you
We've come along the way together when you've proved your love is true
My life's been a pleasure and it's all because of you
And to me you'll always be just as sweet as flowers in May
And I'll still love you as I did in yesterday
I still love you as I did in yesterday
Many years have gone by though it seems just like a day
It's no wonder that I love you you have been so kind and true
There will never be another it will always be just you
And to me you'll always be just as sweet as flowers in May
And I'll still love you as I did in yesterday
And to me you'll always be just as sweet as flowers in May
And I'll still love you as I did in yesterday |
American Saturday Night | 0 | [Intro]
(Whoa oh oh oh)
(Whoa oh oh oh)
[Verse 1]
She's got Brazilian leather boots on the pedal of her German car
Listening to The Beatles singing "Back in the USSR"
She's going around the world tonight but she ain't leaving here
She's just going to meet her boyfriend down at the street fair
[Chorus]
And it's a French kiss, Italian ice
Spanish moss in the moonlight (whoa oh oh oh)
Just another American Saturday night
[Verse 2]
There's a big toga party tonight down at Delta Chi
They got Canadian bacon on their pizza pie
They got a cooler full of cold Coronas and Amstel Light
It's like we're all living in a big old cup
Just fire up the blender, mix it all up
[Chorus]
It's a French kiss, Italian ice
Margaritas in the moonlight (whoa oh oh oh)
Just another American Saturday night
[Bridge 1]
You know everywhere has something they're known for
Although usually it washes up on our shores
My great-great-great-granddaddy stepped off of that ship
I bet he never ever dreamed we'd have all this
[Bridge 2]
You know everywhere has something they're known for
Although usually it washes up on our shores
Little Italy and Chinatown sitting there side by side
Live from New York
(It's Saturday Night!)
[Chorus]
It's a French kiss, Italian ice
Spanish moss in the moonlight (whoa oh oh oh)
Just another American, I'm just another American
And it's just another American Saturday night |
Miss Pizazz | 0 | [Verse 1]
I know she's from the south
That don't mean she's sunny
She's always got a smile
But life's not all that funny
Her pain is hard to see
Still I bet you even money
That when she's all alone
And she's always all alone
Life looks like a sham
To Miss Pizazz from Birmingham
[Verse 2]
She tries to be the picture that she thinks is in his mind
Not too clinging, not too needy
Not too fat, not too unkind
When that's not enough for him
She'll blame herself, and find
That when she's all alone
And she's always all alone
It's all not worth a damn
To Miss Pizazz from Birmingham
[Chorus]
I wish that she could see the way that she appears to me
The momеnts that she lets hersеlf be seen
I'm sure that she would feel more free
To grow to be what she could be
Not just a picture from a magazine
[Verse 3]
When someday she does take wing to frolic in the brew
Then she will surely understand what I know to be true
To see herself through others' eyes presents a twisted view
When you claim life as your own
There's no need to feel alone
Say "take me as I am," Miss Pizazz from Birmingham
[Saxophone Solo]
[Chorus]
I wish that she could see the way that she appears to me
The moments that she lets herself be seen
I'm sure she'd feel free to be what she could be
Not just a picture from a magazine
[Verse 4]
When someday she does take wing to frolic in the brew
She will surely understand what I know to be true
To see yourself through others' eyes presents a twisted view
Claim life as your own
No need to feel alone
Say "take me as I am", Miss Pizazz from Birmingham |
Come Thou Fount | 0 | [Verse 1]
Come thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
[Chorus 1]
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount, I'm fixed upon it
Mount of God's redeeming love
[Verse 2]
Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by thy help I've come
And I hope by thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
[Chorus 2]
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandering from the fold of God
He to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood
His precious blood
[Verse 3]
Oh to grace, how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let thy goodness like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to thee
[Chorus 3]
Prone to wander, Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart, O take and seal it
Seal it for thy courts above
Above
[Outro]
Here's my heart, O take and seal it
Seal it for thy courts above |
Stormy | 0 | You are the wind, stormy
You're free to be free
You are the wind, stormy
Come whisper 'round me
I've felt you wild, stormy
And how gentle you are
I've felt you wild, stormy
Please don't drift too far
No one can hold you
You die when they try
Reach me with your breath
Don't blow right on by
Just for this night, stormy
Stay, rest from your stride
Just for this night, stormy
Oh, touch me with light
No one can hold you
You die when they try
Reach me with your breath
Don't blow right on by
Just for this night, stormy
Stay, rest from your stride
Just for this night, stormy
Oh, touch me with light |
Pennies | 0 | "Hey Listen Son, you heard this one?" "Knock, knock" "Who's there?" "why did the chicken cross the road?" "Why?" "To get me another beer." "No." "Get me a Beer!" "NO!" "Get a beer out of the fridge!"
I predicted this moment you wouldn't say nothin, I bet now you regret pushing the play button
As I shuffle through my thoughts, fast forward to now, you struggle to keep it (?)
What to say now? It's like I am trying everything not to break down. But, there is only so much a man can take now
Our defining moment, there's a new game on the table, only I control it so, try to focus
It's hard to understand, what it takes to be a man. You would sell your soul for pennies, just to have the upper hand
You say that you're not scared, just afraid to face your fears and if you say something you regret, you can make it disappear
But, it all comes down and you fall so far. You built this all for nothing just to watch it fall apart
When it all comes down and falls so far. You built this all for nothing, just to watch it fall apart
Say your better off, I might as well prove you wrong. I'll show you what i'm worth I guess. I'll write it in a song
You left me all alone, guess i might as well move along. Show you what I'm worth I guess, I'll write it in a song
I rehearsed what I would tell you when you walked in the room but you look confused. Ain't always easy hearing the truth
From the moment we met i was trying my best to make you proud but it seem like you were never impressed
Then you yell at me, screaming that you got your to do and you didn't have the time, I was bothering you
Is it the money you made? Is it love? Is it hate? I find it funny we here and you have nothing to say
So, if that chicken cross the road I hope you jump in its place, while a truck speeding down and he ain't touching the brakes
How would you like it if the only door left in the room that you could get through all of a sudden shut in your face?
It was warm in the summer but now winter is here. We might have started off happy but we finishing here. You build your ego up until its stuck in the clouds but you bet all those pennies it comes tumbling down and i'll be gone
But, it all comes down and you fall so far. You built this all for nothing just to watch it fall apart
When it all comes down and falls so far. You built this all for nothing, just to watch it fall apart
Say your better off, well I might as well prove you wrong. I'll show you what i'm worth I guess. I'll write it in a song
You left me all alone, guess i might as well move along. Show you what I'm worth I guess, I'll write it in a song
It's hard to understand, what it takes to be a man. You would sell your soul for pennies, just to have the upper hand
You say that you're not scared, just afraid to face your fears and if you say something you regret, you can make it disappear
When it all comes down and falls so far. You built this all for nothing, just to watch it fall apart.When it all comes down and falls so far. You built this all for nothing, just to watch it fall apart |
The Dead South | 0 | Oh pass the rum on down the line it's getting pretty cold
It's been nine straight days of hell and burning fires in the snow
And I haven't seen my baby since that old black ship set sail
Still we're holding out 'till winter dies and hoping our strength prevails
(instrumental)
The full moon peaks around the clouds as the grey wolves cry
The hour's getting late and we've drunk every bottle dry
Just one more march from dusk 'till dawn 'till we finally arrive
At the gates of those who long ago burned our houses and took our lives
CHORUS:
And we'll sing
"We are the Dead South who came across the sea
To take back our lives and leave this land of misery
Our will is our weapon our hearts forever bound
Come on now tilt your bottle back and let’s go grab another round”
The wind is at our back the ground is shaking at our feet
Marching for the gates we pray the lord my soul to keep
For if we ever get ourselves out from this mess alive
I'll be singing this song for years to say I'm happy we survived |
Im Gonna Wait | 0 | [Chorus: Liz Hodder & Joe Pisapia]
I'm gonna wait
I'm gonna wait
Until you're ready
I'm gonna wait
[Chorus: Hodder & Pisapia]
I'm gonna wait
I'm gonna wait
Until you're ready
I'm gonna wait
[Verse: Hodder & Pisapia]
I'll never give up until you're ready
I'll never give up, I'm always there
I'll never give up until you're ready
Until you're ready I will always be there
[Bridge: Hodder & Pisapia]
'Cause I'm in love with you
And that's hard for me to do
I know in time you'll see
That you are in love with me too
[Verse: Hodder & Pisapia]
I'll never give up until you're ready
I'll never give up, I'm always there
I'll never give up until you're ready
Until you're ready I will always be there
[Pre-Chorus: Hodder & Pisapia]
Until you're ready I will always be there
[Chorus: Hodder & Pisapia]
I'm gonna wait
I'm gonna wait
Until you're ready
I'm gonna wait |
Old Blue 1954 single version | 0 | Once I had an old blue dog
And ate them 'possums, walked that log [?]
Ran them 'possums up that tree
Then sit down, and he'd bark for me
Go on Blue, you rascal you
Tree them 'possums for me and you
Go on Blue, you rascal you
Tree them 'possums for me and you
Old Blue's foot was-a big and round
When he put it on the ground
'Possum better be a-huntin' a hole
Catch him 'fore his track gets cold
Go on Blue, you rascal you
Tree them 'possums for me and you
Go on Blue, you rascal you
Tree them 'possums for me and you
Run them 'possums up that tree
Then set down and bark for me
See that 'possum sittin' on limb
Winked at me and I winked at him
Come on Blue, that will do
Here's еnough for me and you
Come on Blue, that will do
Hеre's enough for me and you
Take them home and a-hang them in a row
Lay 'em down and scrape them off
Put some sweet taters in that pan
Best ol' eatin' in that land
Come on Blue, and get some too
Here's enough for me and you
Come on Blue, and get some too
Here's enough for me and you
As I'm singin' of my song
My old blue dog is dead and gone
I laid him in the quiet, cool shade
And dug his grave with a silver spade
Let him down with a golden chain
Every link I called his name
Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue
Wish it is me instead of you
Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue
Wish it is me instead of you
Now, when I lay my banjo down
I'm goin' on to Heaven to get me a crown
When I get to Heaven, the first thing I'll do
I'll get me a horn, and I'll blow for Blue
Go on Blue, you rascal you
Tree them 'possums for me and you
Go on Blue, you're comin' too
There's room enough for me and you |
Live Love Laugh | 0 | [Chorus: Ronnie Davis]
You gotta live, you gotta love, you gotta laugh
And kick a little ass, make all the good times last
And kick a little ass, because life goes by too fast
You gotta live, you gotta love, you gotta laugh
And kick a little ass
[Verse 1: Brahma Bull]
I'm written the same song ten times twelve ways
It's just to see what my peers might say
That every song's the same, content don't change
Just fight this, drink that, it's the same old same, please (Come on)
It's much deeper than you're hearin' it
To live, love, laugh, then we die quit fearin' it (Fearin' it)
You got to live in the moment, to own it
And then ya gotta kick a little ass I condone it (Ha ha)
I'm talkin' kickin' ass in everything you do
I ain't talkin' throwin' punches every time that you argue
Be a man, stand up, do the right thing (Right thing)
Pay it forward one time, it's a nice thing (Nice thing)
You need to live, love, laugh, even kick a little ass
Thank the man for the day, quit dwellin' on the past
'Cause the future ain't promised and it's creepin' up the ass
Gotta live, love, laugh, and kick a little ass
[Chorus: Ronnie Davis]
You gotta live, you gotta love, you gotta laugh
And kick a little ass, make all the good times last
And kick a little ass, because life goes by too fast
You gotta live, you gotta love, you gotta laugh
And kick a little ass
[Verse 2: Colt Ford]
It seems like I've said it, I'm sure I must have
You gotta take time to live, love, and laugh
Time's the one thing we think we all got
And all the money in the world won't buy you a spot
Through those pearly gates, no way, start livin'
Takin' is too easy, be the one givin'
A smile with someone, take 'em to the party
Show 'em about fun, let 'em be somebody
Hope is contagious, so pass it to a friend
None of us really know when the parties gonna end
Remember Colt told ya, live, love, and laugh
Don't ever be afraid to kick a little ass
[Chorus: Ronnie Davis]
You gotta live, you gotta love, you gotta laugh
And kick a little ass, make all the good times last
And kick a little ass, because life goes by too fast
You gotta live, you gotta love, you gotta laugh
And kick a little ass
You gotta live, you gotta love, you gotta laugh
And kick a little ass, make all the good times last
And kick a little ass, because life goes by too fast
You gotta live, you gotta love, you gotta laugh
And kick a little ass
[Outro]
(Kick a little ass, ass) |
Our Song Live from SoHo | 0 | [Intro]
One, two
[Verse 1]
Well, I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
The other on my heart
I look around, turn the radio down
He says, "Baby, is something wrong?"
I say, "Nothing, I was just thinking
How we don't have a song"
And he says
[Chorus]
Our song is the slamming screen door
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
'Cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date: "Man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"
And when I got home 'fore I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again
[Verse 2]
I was walking up the front porch steps
After everything that day
Had gone all wrong and been trampled on
And lost and thrown away
Got to the hallway, well on my way
To my lovin' bed
I almost didn't notice all the roses
And the note that said
[Chorus]
Our song is the slamming screen door
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
'Cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date: "Man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"
And when I got home 'fore I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again
Da da da da
[Bridge]
Well, I've heard every album, listened to the radio
Waited for something to come along
That was as good as our song
[Chorus]
'Cause our song is the slamming screen door
Sneakin' out late, tapping on his window
When we're on the phone and he talks real slow
'Cause it's late and his mama don't know
Our song is the way he laughs
The first date: "Man, I didn't kiss him, and I should have"
And when I got home 'fore I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again
Play it again
Oh yeah
Oh oh yeah
[Outro]
I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
And I wrote down our song
Thank you so much! |
Hand Me Downs | 0 | [Verse 1]
Still have that worn out glove in the back of the closet
The one my dad gave to me when I turned 13
He said he'd teach me how to throw that 12-6 curve ball
Just like all the pros we watched on TV
Senior year my brother went off to college
Pops gave me the talk and handed my first set of keys
To a bucket of rust, a little beaten up
Thought it would break down every mile
But somehow it always got from A to B
[Chorus]
Those hand me downs
Didn't mean much back then
They sure do now
All the memories that I couldn't live without
Are still hanging around
Those hand me downs
[Verse 2]
All the finer records sitting up in the attic
From Cash and Merle to Patti and Bruce Springsteen
I can still hear our voices cutting through the static
On those long car ride from Boston to Tennessee
[Chorus]
Those hand me downs
Didn't mean much back then
They sure do now
All the memories that I couldn't live without
Are still hanging around
Those hand me downs
Those hand me downs
Oh
[Bridge]
His laugh, his grin, his stubbornness
And when to give a damn
All the lessons learned that made me who I am
[Chorus]
Those hand me downs
Didn't mean much back then
They sure do now
All the memories that I couldn't live without
Are still hanging around
Those hand me downs
Those hand me downs
Oh |
You Never Know Just How Good Youve Got It | 0 | [Verse 1]
Hey once I was a honky tonkin' talk of the town
Ridin' high in my bad Chevrolet
I had seven pretty women, Lord, hangin' on me
A different one for every day
But look at me now all my women's left town
And a buck is gettin' hard to come by
Well I must confess my life's a big mess
I'm so low I could lay down and die
[Chorus]
Well you never know just how good you've got it
'Til you ain't got it no more
You never know just how high you're flyin'
'Til you fall face down on the floor
All I can do is just moan the blues
And dream about what I had before
Hey you never know just how good you've got it
'Til you ain't got it no more
[Verse 2]
Here lately I've become one pool sharkin' fool
Make my living on the buddies of mine
I was cookin' last night when the chips were all down
So I laid everythin' I had on the line
I knew I'd regret that hundred dollar bet
But you never learn until it's too late
We flipped and I lost and then I paid the cost
When the eight fell in on the break
[Chorus]
Well you never know just how good you've got it
'Til you ain't got it no more
You never know just how high you're flyin'
'Til you fall face down on the floor
All I can do is just moan the blues
And dream about what I had before
Hey you never know just how good you've got it
'Til you ain't got it no more
No you never know just how good you've got it
'Til you ain't got it no more |
Dixie Boy Special | 0 | She fogs up the mirrors in my IROC-Z
She fries catfish like you never seen
Oh, She stops the clock when she walks in a room
Make you wanna run out and howl at the Moon
Chorus:
She's a Dixie Boy Special, heartbreaker guarantee
Ooh ooh ooh
Shes a Dixie Boy Special, the original recipe
Oh, You'd never believe when shes all dressed up
How she can back up a boat in a pickup truck
She'll catch a 20 pound bass on an 8 pound line
Party 3 days straight and still look fine
Chorus:
She's a Dixie Boy Special, heartbreaker guarantee
Shes a Dixie Boy Special, the original recipe
(Instrumentals)
In a little black dress or a cowboy hat
Oh, You're gonna wanna look but you can't touch that
Oh, She likes beer, she don't care for wine
Keep your hands to yourself, brohter, she's all mine
Chorus:
She's a Dixie Boy Special, heartbreaker guarantee
Shes a Dixie Boy Special, the original recipe |
In The Jailhouse Now | 0 | I had a friend named The Ramblin' Bob
Who used to steal, gamble, and rob
He thought he was the smartest guy around
But I found out last Monday
That Bob got locked up Sunday
They've got him in the jailhouse way downtown
He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
Well I told him once or twice
To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now
Ah di o-dalee eehee dee-o ti
Ah di o-dalee ee oh dee-o ti
Yodelayee-hee
Yodelayee-hee
Yodelay-eeee
He played a game called poker
Pinochle, whist and euchre
But shootin' dice
Was his favorite game
Now he's downtown in the jail
Nobody to go his bail
The judge done said that he refused the fine
He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
Well I told him once or twice
To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now
Ah di o-dalee eehee dee-o ti
Ah di o-dalee ee oh dee-o ti
Yodelayee-hee
Yodelayee-hee
Yodelay-eeee
I went out last Tuesday
Met a gal a named Susie
I told her I was the swellest man around
We started to spend my money
Then she started in a callin me honey
We took in every cabaret in town
We're in the jailhouse now
We're in the jailhouse now
Well I told him once or twice
To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
We're in the jailhouse now
Ah di o-dalee eehee dee-o ti
Ah di o-dalee ee oh dee-o ti
Yodelayee-hee
Yodelayee-hee
Yodelay-eeee |
Storage Unit | 0 | [Verse 1]
You were just here in a glimpse
You left, made my heart so dim
I only see you every minute on a broken clock
But I can’t blame you, it’s really not your fault
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I question if you love me
Cause all you do is bring me money
But that’s not turning a storage unit full
Cause you always go back and fall in the hole
[Verse 3]
I guess the holidays are different
Cause it feels like I’m actually livin’
Make a scene make a dream a wish on the tree
With you I feel like a bird set free
[Reprise]
Oh, Oh
[Verse 4]
But nothing lasts forevеr
Everything changes like thе weather
Soon I’ll have to be alone again
I might still have time to mend
[Chorus]
(Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah)
(Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah) |
Fuller Brush Man | 0 | When I was maybe three or four
The Fuller Brush man would knock at the door
He'd always tell me, "Boy, you're gonna miss the fun!
Time you're old enough the honky-tonks'll all be gone."
Momma had no sense with cars
She drove a Sunbeam and she drove it hard
Left her stranded time and again
Didn't matter, you could do that then
And they danced on the rooftops
Let their hearts run wild
Such a sight to the eyes of a child
We were used to all the best
The man from U.N.C.L.E. and the Wild, Wild West
We ruled the skies from a backyard swing
Nothing that flies could've stopped that thing
While they danced on the rooftops
Let their hearts run wild
Such a sight to the eyes of a child
Blood-stained blacktops twist up between the wheels
Before we knew it it was all too real
The voice of reason confined to the past
And all that mattered was to get there fast
So we could dance on the rooftops
Let our hearts run wild (hearts run wild)
Should it all come down to your last thin dime
You can dial that number one more time
But the phone won't ring 'cause the line's gone dead
It's lost in history
Like I said, it's gone
So now we give it all we got
Pick em up at daycare in a state of shock
Frayed at the edges and torn at the seams
It rarely happens in our wildest dreams
That we dance on the rooftops, let our hearts run wild
And it ain't for the sake of the child
You don't too often see a sunbeam anymore
You never see a Fuller Brush man or a dinosaur
The voice of reason rules with an iron fist
Please forgive me if I'm not prepared to handle this |
Mrs. Right | 0 | [Verse 1]
You feeling brave
He just glanced your way
You shouldn't stay
But it's really not that late
So you say
As you flip your hair and bat your eyes
His way
Honey your mistaken cause
[Chorus]
He's my baby
Maybe you might catch his eye
But I ain't worried
Cause girl he comes home to me at night
You're not the first and probably not the last
Whose gunna try
But you'll find that you're all wrong
Meet Mrs. Right
[Verse 2]
I don't blame you
He's really something else
I'd want him to
Oh wait he's mine already
How rude of me to rub it in
But girl I'm through
Watching
And I'm warning you because
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Just when the coast is clear
You move near
Inching closer
Closer to him and with that
Angel smile
You suddenly see my
One little problem
Im not the sheriff kind
[Outro]
Cause he's my baby
And maybe you might catch his eye
But I ain't worried
Cause girl he comes home to me at night
You're not the first and probably not the last
That's gunna try
But you'll find that you're all wrong
I know that you're all wrong
You know that you're all wrong
Meet Mrs. Right |
The Dreadful Engagement | 0 | You Irishmen and women too, draw near, both young and old
A doleful lamentation now to you I will unfold
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
One hundred gallant Irishmen, we are left for to deplore
Whose bodies fell a-victim upon fair Columbia's shore
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
It was at the siege of New Orleans, upon the ninth of May
Our countrymen they suffered so upon that fatal day
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
They were engaged by five to one when charged on with the steel
But Erin's sons did loudly cry, we'll die before we kneel
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
They were repulsed, they could not stand, exertion proved in vain
They strove to break the enemy's force, and drive them from the plain
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
But alas their number it was too small and it gave them no fair play
Not one of them did near escape upon that fatal day
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
To see the streets that evening, each heart would rend with pain
The human blood in rivers ran that can it flood a stream
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
Men's heads blown off their bodies most dismal for to see
And wounded men did loudly cry with pain and agony
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
The federals they did then advanced and broken through the town
They trampled dead and wounded men that lay upon the ground
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
The wounded called for mercy but none they did receive
They numbered them among the dead and threw them in the grave
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
Three hundred killed and wounded that then lay in their grave
One half of them were Irishmen far from their native shore
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
Poor orphans now they may weep and cry and parents through the day
They let their lovely children go on to Americay
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
For ye that hear those doleful lines, do not neglect to toil
An they everfore enlighten good on St. Patricks Isle
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
And a drink upon our countrymen who left their native shore
Their friends may mourn for their loss they'll never see them more
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
Now to conclude with these few lines, with grief I'll say no more
You know it was through poverty they left their native shore
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh
They had no one to heal their wounds, may angels them surround
Before the throne of heaven may they wear a brilliant crown
With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh |
Take This Dance | 0 | Take this dance with me
Cause you're still the one
Cause you're still the one
When the evening's done
It's the same old one
Like we've always done
When the last bell's rung
Take this dance with me
Doesn't matter where we've been
Doesn't matter where you're going to
Come here to me
Let me show you how
How to count on the right ones
And let the rest go
Take this chance on me
If I'm still the one
When the last bell's rung
Take this dance with me
Doesn't matter where we've been
Doesn't matter where we're going to
Take this dance with me
Cause you're still the one
Cause you're still the one
When the evening's done
It's the same old one
Like we've always done
When the last bell's rung
Take this dance with me |
We Had It All | 0 | [Verse 1]
I can hear the wind a-blowing in my mind
Just the way it used to sound through the Georgia pines
And you were there to answer when I called
You and me we had it all
[Verse 2]
Remember how I used to touch your hair
While reaching for the feeling that was always there
You were the best thing in my life that I recall
You and me we had it all
[Bridge]
I know that we can never live those times again
So I let my dreams take me back to where we've been
Then I'll stay with you girl as long as I can
Oh, it was so good, oh, so good
Mmm, when I was your man
[Verse 3]
I'll never stop believing in your smile
Even though you didn't stay, it was all worth while
You were the best thing in my life I can recall
You and me we had it all
You and me we had it all |
Ill Be There Call On Me | 0 | [Verse 1]
Girl I know the time has to come
When you're gonna need someone
One to be true to you
Here's what I want you to do
Call me, yeah, call me, yeah
[Verse 2]
If that guy makes you tired
Just go and tell him goodbye
Then girl you run on home
Find yourself a telephone
Call me, yeah, call me, yeah
[Chorus]
Call me whenever you're down
Call me when no one's around
Call me whenever you dare
I'll be there
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Call me whenever you're down
Call me when no one's around
Call me whenever you dare
And I'll be there
[Outro]
I'll be there girl (I'll be there, call)
I'll be there (I'll be there, call)
I'll be there girl (I'll be there, call)
I'll be there (I'll be there, call) |
Visceral | 0 | [Verse 1]
Walk where I walk
Sleep where I sleep
Let’s take the world it’s ours to keep
There’s a flame burning all these years, my love
Stay with me till’ morning comes
[Verse 2]
I’ll laugh when you laugh
I’ll cry when you cry
Let’s see the fair I got tickets like old times
There’s a flame burning all these years, my love
Stay with me ‘til morning comes
[Chorus 1]
Such a long road still to travel
Chasing dreams as we both unravel
Was it whiskey
Oh, it’s mystical
That our love is visceral
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Mm-mm-mm
[Verse 3]
Age as I age
Dream the same dreams
Let’s move up north and sail upstream
There’s a flame burning all these years, my love
Stay with me ‘til morning comes
[Chorus 2]
Such a long road still to travel
Chasing dreams as we both unravel
Was it whiskey
Oh, its mystical
That our love is visceral
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

The Day It Rained Forever | 0 | You took a promise down to the lake
In your heart in the sky
'Cause they tried too hard to make a mistake
And you knew what was right
And how many lies have you took around
Like a breeze on the ground?
And how many lies have you took around?
And you still can't believe in what's right
But not tonight, I want to share you
And you have to know that we want everything for you
You drew his name out in the sand
And you started to cry
'Cause you can't forget the day that it rained
When you lay by his side
And how many lies have you took around
Like a breeze on the ground?
And how many lies have you took around?
And you still can't believe in what's right
But not tonight, I want to share you
And you have to know that we want everything for you |
Crooked Tree | 0 | Crooked tree hides the moon, wheels are rusting over too
Time is running out on you, just the way your lovers do
So autumn fell and let you loose, from summers warm embrace of you
Scared of what you’ll say or do in a winter too cold to tell the truth
Come on around, come on around I won’t let me let you down
Come on around, come on around I won’t let me let you down
And yeah it’s easy blending in, when love might bleed you dry again
But I know you’ve got a thicker skin, thick enough to keep it all in
So burst into the light with me, and show the world you’re finally free
You are not burdened by your beast, while you sing she holds your grief
Come on around, come on around I won’t let me let you down
Come on around, come on around I won’t let me let you down
I’ll drink myself navy blue
And my friends they’ll say “it’s overdue!”
But I see no fun in letting loose
When holding you was tried and true
Come on around, come on around I won’t let me let you down
Come on around, come on around I won’t let me let you down |
Beautiful Mess | 0 | She was born on New Year’s Day
There wasn’t time for any celebration
Only animals to guide her way
You might say that she learned something from them
She orders double Manhattans
And then she wonders what happens
Well is it love that she’s after
She’s never sure
She was sitting in her same old place
I only knew her by her reputation
And the glitter smeared across her face
I knew then that it was leading somewhere
And when we got back to her place
She asked me what she wear
I made my eyes look away oh Lord
You know it’s so rude to stare
I said
“You could wear your best lingerie
Or your cutest little black dress for me
Either way I couldn’t care less
You look your best when you look like a beautiful mess"
A beautiful mess
A beautiful mess
A beautiful mess
A beautiful
I used to live my life so clean
I never thought I’d see a dust storm coming
But you took my nose and made me say yes
Turned my life into a beautiful mess oh no
A beautiful mess oh no
A beautiful mess oh no
A beautiful mess
Now hear me coming now hear me coming for you
Beautiful
Beautiful |
My Favorite Goodbye | 0 | I ran out of excuses
On the twenty-third of March
Had to look the truth straight in the eye
She didn’t say a word
She just walked away
It’s always been my favorite goodbye
Now when you read this letter
I’ll be a million miles away
You can’t reach me no matter how you try
Remember summer days
And the way I made you laugh
It’s always been my favorite goodbye
Look back, look back
She heard me call
She took everything but time
Look back, look back
There’s nothing left
Time takes еverything but love
Now I wander through thе seasons
Like a ghost out of a book
I never feel the moments passing by
Sometimes I think I see her
Disappearing around the corner
It’s always been my favorite goodbye
Some will leave the money
On the bureau as they’re leaving
Others look so sad you think they’ll cry
She left like a fading note
In a children’s melody
It’s always been my favorite goodbye
Look back, look back
She heard me call
She took everything but time
Look back, look back
There’s nothing left
Time takes everything but love
Do you want a blindfold
Said the captain of the guard
To the prisoner who was condemned to die
The soldier shook his head
And he gave a little smile
It’s always been my favorite goodbye |
Party At The End Of The World | 0 | Calling Paris
Come in London
Come in New York
Hello Rio
The bad news is the world is ending
The good news is there's a party
But you better get here quick
When you feel like a written off actor on Deadwood
About to get fed to the pigs
When that preacher's bus from hell
Blastin' just cowbell
Parks itself in front of your digs
There's a place you can go called Tierra Del Feugo
Down in the Southern Hemisphere
It's kinda Troy without Helen
Past the Straits of Magellan
Things are always looking up down here
Cause there's a party at the end of the world (end of the world)
Where the locals do the tango twirl (tango twirl)
Forget the temples in Nepal
Cancel the fete in Montreal
There's a party at the end of the world
It seems like I've run out of reasons to be here
So I'm just gonna steal from myself
If your attitude's appalling
There's a latitude that's calling
Get yourself past that continental shelf
Now the band that we hired
Is playing quite inspired
Singing Eskimos and eunuchs from Bangkok
And this location's so nice
We'll never run out of ice
‘Cause Antarctica's just around the block
And there's a party at the end of the world (end of the world)
Where the locals do the tango twirl (tango twirl)
Now don't make that big mistaica
And wind up with Miss Jamaica
At the party at the end of world
Flying machines, yellow submarines
French girls in cowboy decor- "D'accord"
RSVP isn't needed you see
And they all just be screaming for more-AMOUR
Now in case you hadn't heard
Things are getting quite absurd
No one really shocks us that's for sure
Roadside bombers and tsunamis
Oh god How I miss those Commies
No one really plays fair anymore
But I've spoken to the yogis
And had meetings with my roadies
Who tell me that arrangements are complete
Just below the "Roaring forties"
I am going to fly some sorties
So you best reserve that cherished window seat
To the party at the end of the world (end of the world)
Where the locals do that tango twirl (tango twirl)
I don't care about "the Rapture"
When there's native girls to capture
There's a party at the end of the world
Who cares if there's no playa
We'll be rocking in Ushuaia
At the party at the end
You surely must attend
The party at the end of the world |

Dirt Road Down | 0 | Midnight Friday night you'd text me
Dads asleep baby come get me
A right a left and I was at your house
One Dirt road down
Second we pulled out that driveway
Never rolled one mile on a highway
Never had to talk ya in to a dust cloud
You were dirt road down
Ooh, we were kicked back slow lane dreamin'
Ooh, swear I can still hear you singin'
Lot about livin' and a little bout love
Smokin' Kenwoods in a high school truck
Console kiss on a two beer buzz
Lightin' that summer on up
I fell for a girl who loved the world
More than she loved this town
I was all of these used to be memories keepin' me dirt road down
Suitcase packed up in a hard top
Said goodbye to me and this map dot
Girl, I thought I could turn you around
Before you'd turn a dirt road down
Ooh, when a flames on fire burnin'
Ooh, it never gets easy learnin'
Lot about livin' and a little bout love
Smokin' Kenwoods in a high school truck
Console kiss on a two beer buzz
Lightin' that summer on up
I fell for a girl who loved the world
More than she loved this town
I was all of these used to be memories keepin' me dirt road down
If you're out there but round here is better than what you have
There's a dirt road down here that can take us right on back
I swear I can still hear you singing
Lot about livin' and a little bout love
Smokin' Kenwoods in a high school truck
Console kiss on a two beer buzz
Lightin' that summer on up
I fell for a girl who loved the world
More than she loved this town
I was all of these used to be memories keepin' me dirt road down |
Dont Think Twice Its All Right | 0 | Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If'n you don't know by now
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It'll never do, somehow
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm traveling on
But don't think twice, it's alright
Ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
Ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was something you would do or say
To try & make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talking anyway
So don't think twice, it's all right
It ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
Like you never done before
It ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
I can't hear anymore
I'm sitting and a wondering, walking down the road
I once loved a woman - a child I am told
I give her my heart, but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's alright
I’m walkin’ down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I’m bound, I can’t tell
But goodbye’s too good a word, gal
So I’ll just say fare thee well
I ain’t sayin’ you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don’t mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don’t think twice, it’s all right |
Brother to the Blues | 0 | (Ed Rowell)
You and I don't need an introduction
Neither one of us has that much to lose
'Cause you're just a sister to satisfaction
And I'm just a brother to the blues
Now I don't have to tell you nights are lonely
There's a hunger in our eyes that tells the news
And you're just a sister to satisfaction
And I'm just a brother to the blues
It's hard to tell exactly which direction
We might go at any given time
It's just a constant search for affection
And we need all the comfort we can find
I know you can feel this attraction
From a night of love that both of us could use
'Cause you're just a sister to satisfaction
And I'm just a brother to the blues
Yes, you're just a sister to satisfaction
And I'm just a brother to the blues... |
Keep Me From Blowing Away | 0 | [Verse 1]
Well, I've spent my whole lifetime
In a world where the sunshine
Found excuses for not hangin' 'round
And I've squandered emotions
At the slightest of notions
On the first easy woman I found
But soon all the good times
The gay times, the play times
Like colors run together and fade
Oh Lord if you hear me
Touch me and hold me
And keep me from blowing away
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 2]
There's times when I tremble
When my mind remembers
The days that just crumbled away
With nothing to show
But these lines that I know
Are beginning to show in my face
Oh Lord, if you're listenin'
I know I'm no Christian
And I ain't got much comin' to me
So send down some sunshine
And throw out your lifeline
And keep me from blowing away
[Tag]
Yeah send down some sunshine
And throw out your lifeline
And keep me from blowing away |
Imagine | 0 | [Verse 1]
Man up, show me there's magic
If you want my love (want my love)
Stand up, kiss me like a cowboy
If you want my love, really want my love
[Chorus]
If you're ready to give it all you got
Then I'll take you to the mountain top
And I'll slowly fly you to the moon
If you're man enough to handle me
And get turned on by just what you see
Then imagine what my love can do
[Verse 2]
Rock me like you're a big rock star
I'll give you all of my love (all of my love)
Hold me like I'm your one and only
You'll get all of my love, you got all of my love
[Chorus]
If you're ready to give it all you got
Then I'll take you to the mountain top
And I'll slowly fly you to the moon
If you're man enough to handle me
And get turned on by just what you see
Then imagine what my love can do
[Bridge]
Man enough, sweet enough
Strong enough, my love
[Chorus]
If you're ready to give it all you got
Then I'll take you to the mountain top
And I'll slowly fly you to the moon
If you're man enough to handle me
And get turned on by just what you see
Then imagine what my love can do
Just imagine, my love |
Killing the Blues | 0 | Leaves were falling just like embers
In colors red and gold, they set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam in our eyes
Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud
Killing the blues
Now I'm guilty of something
I hope you never do, because there is nothing
Sadder than losing yourself in love
Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud
Killing the blues
Now you ask me just to leave you
To go out on my own and get what I need to
You want me to find what I've already had
Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud
Killing the blues
Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud
Killing the blues |
Life on Ya | 0 | Sunday morning, all dressed for church
Took my buddy, rode a shortcut
Showed up all covered in dirt
Daddy took one look
'Bout to blow his top
But grandma said, "It'll come out in the wash."
Gotta get a little life on ya!
Ain't always pretty
Gonna get a little dirty
Gotta get a little life on ya!
On ya! On ya!
Gotta get a little life on ya!
About five years later
I can't remember her name
I never saw it coming
But man, I remember my first heartbreak
Grandma smiling
With that bit of a wrinkled face
Said, "You ain't seen nothing yet
That girl was just a taste"
Gotta get a little life on ya!
Ain't always pretty
Gonna get a little dirty
Gotta get a little life on ya!
On ya! On ya!
Gotta get a little life on ya!
Yeah
Girl, do you remember?
When we first met
Life hadn't had a chance
To throw all it had at us yet
And that was ten years later
And you can do the math
But it all adds up to everything
That grandma said way back
Gotta get a little life on ya!
Gotta get a little life on ya!
Gotta go a little further
Gotta get a little deeper
It gets a little sweeter
When you get a little on ya!
Gotta get a little life on ya!
Ain't always pretty
Gonna get a little dirty
Gotta get a little life on ya!
On ya! On ya!
On ya!
Yeah, yeah
Gotta get a little life on ya!
Little life on ya, yeah
You got to live a little
Breathe harder
Love stronger, yeah
You got to live harder
Love stronger, yeah |
Wish I | 0 | Wish I was really going
Wish I was a blacktop road
Wish I was a steamwheel
Wish I was a radio
Wish I was in your pocket
Wish I was on your mind
Wish I was a boot you're wearing
Wish I was your valentine
But I guess I ain't your Cinderella
And if you don't want me then I don't want you back
Can't stop the rain better hold an umbrella
I don't know much but I knew that
Wish I was your whiskey baby
Wish I was on your breath
Wish you would hold me like you hold your cigarette
Wish I had a song for you to make you love me
Wish I could sing for you
Wish I could make us right
But I guess I ain't your Cinderella
And if you don't want me then I don't want you back
Can't stop the rain better hold an umbrella
I don't know much but I knew that
Wish I was your California
Wish I was a shooting star
Wish I was your one and only
Wish I could break your heart |

Bama Breeze | 0 | [Chorus]
At the Bama Breeze
You can shoot some pool down there
You can act the fool down there
You can play it cool down there
At the Bama Breeze
You can drink some beer down here
Argue, laugh, and cheer down there
Pass another year down there
[Verse 1]
Jimmy got caught smokin' a joint out behind the bar
Sittin' in his car and they took him to jail
The tip jar paid his bail
In 1984, Mick Jagger passed through town
Bought the house a round and signed his name on the wall
In the ladies bathroom stall
Yeah...
[Chorus]
At the Bama Breeze
I turned 21 down there
Had too much fun down there
Stumbled out with the sun down there
[Verse 2]
Saturday nights the bouncer Grady
Lets the ladies in free with a fake ID
And a short enough skirt
Yeah, he figures what the hell could it hurt
Second set the owner LuLu gets up with the band
A beer in her hand and sings "Free Bird" slow
Then she raises a toast
Here's to Ronnie and the boys
Now everybody make some noise
[Chorus]
At the Bama Breeze
You're one of our own down there
You'll never drink alone down there
Good god I feel at home down there
At the Bama Breeze
You're one of our own down there
You'll never drink alone down there
Good god I feel at home down there |
See You in September | 0 | [Verse 1]
Divorce is coming soon
The date, startin' to loom
Don't even want to speak or see you
Or be in the same room
[Pre-Chorus]
Your broke my little heart
Now I'll take all of your money
I'll let you keep the dodge
But don't you call me honey
[Chorus]
I just want to remember what we had again
I guess I'll see you in September just as we had planned
What a pity that you didn't try
After all the tears I cried
[Verse 2]
I'm burning all your shit today
I really do not care
The dog is mine, the house is mine
Take the kids, I said I do not care
[Pre-Chorus]
I saw your little honey
I cut off all her hair
I set fire to her Oldsmobile
And then I stood and stared
[Chorus] x2
I just want to remember what we had again
I guess I'll see you in September just as we had planned
What a pity that you didn't try
After all the tears I cried
You know that this is really tough
But you simply don't care all that much |
A Simple Song | 0 | [Verse 1]
Lately things are on my mind
Good news is hard to find
And I work on the factory line
And all I do is stay behind
Call my mama like I should
She says daddy ain't doing too good
Me and him should wet a line
Just can't seem to find the time
[Chorus]
But I love my life
Man it's something to see
It's the kids and the dogs and you and me
It's the way it's alright when everything goes wrong
It's the sound of a slow simple song
[Verse 2]
Finally saved some money up
'Til I had to fix my truck
Talked to brother the other day
He didn't have too much to say
Tryna quit these cigarettes
I can't seem to kick em yet
Sister got laid off last fall
And I got high cholesterol
[Chorus]
But I love my life
Man it's something to see
It's the kids and the dogs and you and me
It's the way it's alright when everything goes wrong
It's the sound of a slow simple song
But I love my life
Man it's something to see
It's the kids and the dogs and you and me
It's the way it's alright when everything goes wrong
It's the sound of a slow simple song |
Kinda Halfway Feel | 0 | (Kinda halfway feel that you and I are through)
Here I am and I'm alone and feeling lonely
Bothered by the thought that someone's holding you
Disappointed and I'm wanting your kiss only
Kinda halfway feel that you and I are through
I play the jukebox and I set you halfway hoping you'll walk in
And halfway knowing that you won't be by yourself
There's such a feeling in my heart I halfway face the truth
Kinda halfway feel that you want someone else
At a table where you used to sit beside me
In a corner that we felt was all our own
So in love that my heart's breaking up inside me
It's a different world when you're left alone
I play the jukebox and I set you halfway hoping you'll walk in
And halfway knowing that you won't be by yourself
There's such a feeling in my heart I halfway face the truth
Kinda halfway feel that you want someone else... |
O What A Thrill | 0 | [Verse 1]
Oh girl any moment
I may kiss your lips
Oh it's been awhile
Since I felt like this
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh girl please don't refuse me
Oh I'm so scared you will
[Chorus]
O what a thrill
O what a thrill
Stars in the sky
Stars stand still
O what a thrill
[Verse 2]
Woman words fail me
Your skin is sweet and warm
I want to console you
And hold you in my arms
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh once you, you were my baby
Oh you're my, my baby still
[Chorus]
O what a thrill
O what a thrill
Stars in the sky
Stars stand still
O what a thrill
[Outro]
O what a thrill
O what a thrill
O what a thrill
O what a thrill |
