BLUE COLLAR BEAUTIFUL
Decked out in denim, toolbelt on her hips
Little bit of cherry bomb shine on her lips
A hometown, all-around, heavy on the pedal
She’s two parts Stevie Nicks, one part Loretta
She’s blue collar beautiful
She ain’t your typical
A drop-dead original
Got that working class
She’s forklifts and ponytails
Steeltoes and polished nails
Straight from the heartland
Red, white and blue collar beautiful
She’s sunrise to overtime, burnin’ both ends
And a Friday? all-nighter when she’s out with her friends
Band starts, she’s breakin’ hearts, under those lights
She’ll get her hands dirty, but she cleans up real nice, cuz
She’s blue collar beautiful
She ain’t your typical
A drop-dead original
Got that working class
She’s forklifts and ponytails
Steeltoes and polished nails
Straight from the heartland
Red, white and blue collar beautiful
Whoa oh
She’ll stop you in your tracks
Whoa oh
Yeah lookin’ like that
She’s blue collar beautiful
She ain’t your typical
A drop-dead original
Got that working class
She’s forklifts and ponytails
Steeltoes and polished nails
Straight from the heartland
Red, white and blue collar beautiful --- END ---

CHANCES ARE IT'S A COUNTRY SONG
"Chances are it's a country song"
VERSE
How’re you doing my friend sure good to see you again.
Catch up on lost times, ex wives and old girl friends Here’s a little piece of advice, when things ain't going your way.
All you need’s a quarter in a juke box to toe tap your blues away.
CHORUS
I heard you lost your job.
I heard you lost your truck.
I heard you lost your girl, your dog,
Man you got the worlds worst luck.
But I’ll tell you brother one thing.
Next to whiskey, if there’s something, to help you move your troubles right along,
Chances are it’s a country song.
VERSE
Some folks laugh and they joke sayin this is all country’s about.
But they’re just songs about life and what life’s really all about.
Saturday nights going up and Sunday mornings coming down
You’re never far from friends If there’s a radio laying around.
CHORUS
I heard you lost your job.
I heard you lost your truck.
I heard you lost your girl, your dog,
Man you got the worlds worst luck.
But I’ll tell you brother one thing.
Next to whiskey, if there’s something, to help you move your troubles right along,
Chances are it’s a country song.
BRIDGE
It’s more than cowboy hats, honky tonks and Friday nights.
It all good, gonna be alright, when Travis Tritt says It’s a great day to be alive.
CHORUS OUTRO
I heard you lost your job.
I heard you lost your truck.
I heard you lost your girl, your dog,
Man you got the worlds worst luck.
But I’ll tell you brother one thing.
Next to whiskey, if there’s something, to help you move your troubles right along,
Chances are it’s a country song. --- END ---

COUNTRY AND WESTERN
[Verse 1]
Every boy Needs a father
One way or another
Catching dreams and fish out on the water
My Uncle Joe
That was my mother's brother
He smelled of cigarettes and aftershave
Motor oil and fresh cut hay
And all the fields we worked together
Did two tours overseas
When he got home he made time for me
He was kind to me, his philosophy
A masterpiece, the way it ought to be
Didn't know then that his legacy
Would be the last thing that he gave to me
It rang true to me, the way it's got to be
Simple truths that stuck with me
[Chorus]
Find a good woman and love her
And keep your words sweet and tender
Some advice you'll remember
There's only two kinds of music in this world
And boy you count yourself lucky if you learn
A little country
And western
A country and western
[Verse 2]
Now every girl Needs a father
Years later I’d discover
Catching dreams and fish out on the water
With Carrie Jo
She's my girlfriend's daughter
On that fishin boat we'd spend the day
Summer sun, ocean spray
And all those bays we worked together
Didn't my tour overseas
When I got home they ran straight to me
It was time for me, this philosophy
A masterpiece, the way it ought to be
Didn't know then that this legacy
Would be the only thing that made sense to me
It rang true to me, the way it's got to be
Simple truths that stuck with me
[Chorus]
Find a good woman and love her
And keep your words sweet and tender
Some advice you'll remember
There's only two kinds of music in this world
And boy you count yourself lucky if you learn
A little country and western
Country and western
A little country and western
Country and western
(Woah-woah-woah-woah-woah)
(Woah-woah-woah-woah-woah) --- END ---

LAST WORDS OUT THE DOOR
There was a buddy of mine
He wasn’t killing time He was a family man earning his pay
He had a wife and a kid and a nice place to live
He even saved for a rainy day
But that all didn’t matter When the truck came at him
And took it all away
Now there’s a cross by the road
And a story that’s told Of what he’d want to say
If he was alive today
You never know when the good lord’s gonna call you
And even though I’m only headed to the store
I always smile and say I love you
When I’m leaving, cause those should be
The last words out the door
Now time flew by and he was on my mind
So I wound up at his door
She said Hey how you been?
Good to see you again thought you might’ve Shown up before.
Every day’s a little brighter, my hearts a little lighter and I don’t cry much anymore
But the look in her eyes made me realize
He’s left her needing so much more
Those last words out the door.
You never know when the good lord’s gonna call you
And even though I’m only headed to the store
I always smile and say I love you
When I’m leaving, cause those should be
The last words out the door
All over the world
Every moment of every day
People closing doors
Without ever taking the time to say
We were standing there
Her boy flew down the stairs
Tore on out the door
But then he stopped in his tracks
Smiled and look back and said
I almost forgot to say, I love you mom
Then he was gone and on his way
You never know when the good lord’s gonna call you
And even though I’m only headed to the store
I always smile and say I love you
When I’m leaving, cause those should be
The last words out the door --- END ---

ON SATURDAY
On Saturday
Gonna head to the beach, put our cares out of reach
weekend holiday
Gonna turn off our phones, grab the ice and Patron
and we're on our way
On Saturday
Gonna feel the wind blow and roll down the window
And sing outta key
With me holding your hand, you know we’re gonna get sand
Where it ain’t s’posed to be.
Crank up some Chesney on the radio
Kenny's gonna take us where we wanna go
Wind and the waves and the breeze in our hair, today we don't care
Kick off our Wranglers when we hit the sand
Crash in the surf, workin' on our tan
Living every second cause we got the time, today it's you and I
On Saturday
On Saturday
We’ll light bonfires, strum guitars till we’re tired
And we’ll break away
Makin love on the beach, caressed softly by each
Wave that rolls our way
Crank up some Chesney on the radio
Kenny's gonna take us where we wanna go
Wind and the waves and the breeze in our hair, today we don't care
Kick off our Wranglers when we hit the sand
Crash in the surf, workin' on our tan
Living every second cause we got the time, today it's you and I
On Saturday
Oh, the weather is fine, we can follow the tide
Lie on the beach with you by my side
Crank up some Chesney on the radio
Kenny's gonna take us where we wanna go
Wind and the waves and the breeze in our hair, today we don't care
Kick off our Wranglers when we hit the sand
Crash in the surf, workin' on our tan
Living every second cause we got the time, today it's you and I
On Saturday --- END ---

REDNECK MILLIONAIRE
He ain’t got no money ain’t got no cash
No silver spoon just a pile of trash
On the front yard of the shack that’s home
With nothin to show but all the bills he owed.
Don’t know the ABC’s or the 123’s of do ray me
That was his destiny…until he won the lottery.
Now he’s a redneck millionaire
Money talks but he don’t hear
The Midas touch is what he’s got
Five hundred thousand dollar pickup truck
He’s a redneck millionaire
Bought the trailer park ya he’s still there
Take a boy from the country, add a little bit of luck
A whole lot of zeros and whaddaya got..
A redneck millionaire
Well from NYC to West Palm Beach
Ain’t nowhere this old boy can’t reach
He’s got a mullet by Vidal Sasoon
Skoal Bandit car in his living room
Don’t stand a snowball’s chance with a Hooters girl
In this or any other world…until he won the lottery
Now he’s a redneck millionaire
Money talks but he don’t hear
The Midas touch is what he’s got
Five hundred thousand dollar pick ‘em up truck
He’s a redneck millionaire
Bought the trailer park ya he’s still there
Take a boy from the country, add a little bit of luck
A whole lot of zeros and whaddaya got..
A redneck millionaire
Rags to riches and back again
Lost every dime but not one friend
Easy come and easy go
When every dirt road leads you back home
Now he’s a redneck millionaire
Money talks but he don’t hear
The Midas touch is what he’s got
Five hundred thousand dollar pickup truck
He’s a redneck millionaire
Bought the trailer park ya he’s still there
Take a boy from the country, add a little bit of luck
A whole lot of zeros and whaddaya got..
A redneck millionaire --- END ---

TE AMO TEQUILA
Don’t know when
Might have hit me from the start
A broken glass beats a shattered heart
Though I tried, I couldn’t let sweet love on in
But I’ll deny that I’m suffering
I found a friend in those darkest nights
Who brought me hope in the mornin light
When I pray Lord, Jose Cuervo here
Is never out of sight
Te amo tequila
When I need ya
Sometimes I feel like
You’re my only friend...
You’ve been there for the good times
And the bad times
You heard all the lies
You never judged me in the end
A little salt and lemon
You got me forgettin
That I’m not in heaven...
Te amo tequila
You know the truth, seldom is as clear
When It’s seen through the bottom of a bottle
Still it might, it might help me find tomorrow
Through the sadness and the sorrow
Seen all the highs and lows Agave gold and myself alone
Siempre sabiendo
Mucho gusto El Patron
Te amo tequila
When I need ya
Sometimes I feel like
You’re my only friend
You’ve been there for the good times
And the bad times
You heard all my lies
You’ll never judge me in the end
A little salt and lemon
You got me forgettin
That I’m not in heaven
Te amo tequila
You got me living the dream
It’s myself I deceive
Living life like I’m Jimmy Buffett
Damn truth of the matter is
I just can’t get enough of it
Te amo tequila
When I need ya
Sometimes I feel like
You’re my only friend
You’ve been there for the good times
And the bad times
You heard all my lies
You’ll never judge me in the end
A little salt and lemon
You got me forgettin
That I’m not in heaven --- END ---

THAT SUIT DON'T SUIT YOU
Might have known that it would rain today
Fit for a farmer on his way
To heaven, where the fields are always green
For the first time I looked down on you
Its the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do
Now I’m mad as hell,
And can’t believe what I’m seeing
why did they put you in that suit?
They must have gotten you confused
With those men that took your farm,
stole your pride, broke grandma’s heart
If I got here two days ago
You wouldn’t be layin there in them clothes
You’d have on a pearl-snap shirt
Them ol’ levi’s and work boots
Cause that suit don’t suit you
When Daddy left in 92
You were the only daddy I ever knew
You understood what no one else could understand
But I gotta look away, can’t look at you
cause a working man, dont wear Sunday shoes
And sure as hell ain’t goin home with clean hands
why did they put you in that suit?
They must have gotten you confused
With those men that took your farm, stole your pride, broke grandma’s heart
If I got here two days ago
You wouldn’t be layin there in them clothes
You’d have on a pearl-snap shirt, ol’ levi’s and work boots
Cause that suit don’t suit you
I shouldn’t of stayed away so long
I should have been here all along
To send you off to the Lord in your
Overalls
why did they put you in that suit?
They must have gotten you confused
With those men that took your farm, stole your pride, broke grandma’s heart
If I got here two days ago
You wouldn’t be layin there in them clothes
You’d have on a pearl-snap shirt, ol’ levi’s and work boots
Cause that suit don’t suit you --- END ---

WHEN A MOMMAS BOY MEETS A DADDYS GIRL
It's a single red rose on the bench of a truck
Her hand pulling back a curtain as it pulls up
It's a curfew careful get back midnight
It's a door held open as she climbs inside
It's a first kiss telling all you need to know
Can I have this dance in the headlight glow
A true love story living here on earth
When a momma's boy meets a daddy's girl
It's a hey whatcha doing for the rest of your life
It's a promise of forever so I can kiss you all the time
It's a no way out and you're never gonna want one
Take it to the grave cause you'll never find no one else
Its a little bit of God smiling down on this world
When a momma's boy meets a daddy's girl
It's a paycheck spent on a diamond band
It's a knee in the dirt then a tear then a yes
Folks miles around are gonna pack that church
When a momma's boy meets a daddy's girl
It's a hey whatcha doing for the rest of your life
It's a promise of forever so I can kiss you all the time
It's a no way out and you're never gonna want one

Its a little bit of God smiling down on this world
When a momma's boy meets a daddy's girl
It's a I can't wait she's gonna be here soon
Find the fastest lane to that hospital room
You get the bluest eyes and the blondest curls
When a momma's boy meets a daddy's girl
When a momma's boy meets a daddy's girl --- END ---

WHY DON'T YOU GROW SOME BOOTS?
Dinner’s on the table
You’ve been MIA all night
But I’m still waiting for you against my mommas good advice
I find you out at your place but you’re lookin right through me
You got your your pretty litte Xbox
I guess that’s your call of duty
If this is gonna work
There’s some things you gotta learn
Ya I’m tired of getting burned
So listen up
Why don’t you treat this lady right ?
Go on and take me out tonight
Would it kill you to take my hand
Ya act like a boy, and boy I need a man
These heels were made for walkin
That’s what their about to do
I don’t care what size you wear just grow a pair
Why don’t you grow a pair…of boots
Grow some boooooo-oo-oots
Once upon a time
You’d jump through hoops to be with me
Yeah, girls’ night with the bachelor,
You’d show up with wine and cheese
Seems like things have changed
Now you’re just taking me for granted
I kissed a prince and got frog
My oh my, ain’t that romantic
This fairy tale is over,
Now all I do is dirty laundry,
And it’s just not working for me
Why don’t you treat this lady right ?
Go on and Take me out tonight
Would it kill you to take my hand
Ya Act like a boy and boy I need a man

DOWNTIME
Well I know I don’t know much
But I know I’ve had enough
Slammin five days straight on up
And then I’m gone
By early next morning, I’ll be soaking it all in
The big fish are calling me
Whether god is givin rain or givin shine
Working on some downtime
Gonna cast my best lines
On the lake or closing time
Hanging with some friends of mine
These forty eight hours we're gettin high
Working on some downtime
Now the girls have all shown up
Were gonna get it all sewn up
Corn fed wild child shorty's done grown all up
Running off the dock like it was on fire
Hit that ice cold water hold your drinks a little higher
Drift on down its a little bit quieter just you and me
There’s lots of time to get nothing done
Working on some downtime
Gonna cast my best lines
On the lake or closing time
Hanging with some friends of mine
These forty eight hours we're gettin high
Working on some downtime
The only thing that’s fit working for
The only thing I wanna work for
Working on some downtime
Working on some downtime
Gonna cast my best lines
On the lake or closing time
Hanging with some friends of mine
These forty eight hours we're gettin high
Working on some downtime --- END ---

SHE'S GOT HER DADDY'S HEART
[Verse 1]
She arrived on a rainy Wednesday
The most beautiful little girl
Ten fingers and toes, a cute little nose
Ready to take on the world
[Verse 2]
The whole family gathered round her
As she lay in her mama's arms
Against all odds and all they knew
Somehow she came along
[Chorus]
With grace of God upon her
Heavenly sight from the start
The nurse said she's got her mama's eyes
So she must have her daddy's heart
When the whole world's flying at her
And the cold winds begin to blow
She just lowers her head and pushes on through
Cause there's one thing she knows
She's got her grandma's courage and her mama's arms
To keep her from falling apart
But most of all she won't fall
She's got her daddy's heart
[Verse 3]
On a hot summer day five years later
With her daddy way overseas
A knock on the door, what's the chaplain here for?
Mama why are you down on your knees?
[Chorus]
With the grace of God upon her
No power could keep them apart
Don't cry mama, don't cry cause you know
I've got my daddy's heart
When the whole world's flying at her
And the cold winds begin to blow
She just lowers her head and pushes on through
Cause there's one thing she knows
She's got her grandma's courage and her mama's arms
To keep her from falling apart
But most of all she won't fall
She's got her daddy's heart
[Bridge]
Even though he never came home
She can handle anything
Time and time and time again
He’d given her roots and wings
[Chorus]
When the whole world's flying at her
And the cold winds begin to blow
She just lowers her head and pushes on through
Cause there's one thing she knows
She's got her daddy's heart
She's got her daddy's heart
She's got her daddy's heart --- END ---

DRINK AROUND THE WORLD
I’ve always loved that your head’s been up in the clouds
Got dreams just a little too big for this small town
And I wanna be the one that can take you there
But these days ain’t got much cash to spare
Still I know a way we can get a taste
Of anywhere
We can pour red wine, just close your eyesGo to Paris in our minds, see the city lights Then rum and coke in Havana dancin’ with the ocean breeze
Be my margarita, senorita
On a beach in mexico sippin’ tequila
Then take a shot glass ride back home to Tennessee
Come drink around the world with me
Got a faded old poster of the taj mahal, on your bedroom wall
You wanna board that flight, you wanna see it all
It might take a little while before we hit Japan
Or Morocco, leavin’ tracks in the desert sand
Girl as long as you hold my hand
We can pour red wine, just close your eyesGo to Paris in our minds, see the city lights Then rum and coke in Havana dancin’ with the ocean breeze
Be my margarita, senorita
On a beach in mexico sippin’ tequila
Then take a shot glass ride back home to Tennessee
Come drink around the world with me
One day I’m gonna take you where the grape was grown
But tonight girl we ain’t goin’ far from home, cause....
We can pour red wine, just close your eyesGo to Paris in our minds, see the city lights Then rum and coke in Havana dancin’ with the ocean breeze
Be my margarita, senorita
On a beach in mexico sippin’ tequila
Then take a shot glass ride back home to Tennessee
Come drink around the world with me --- END ---

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING JESSE?
In our school there are rules, to separate the cool and uncool
Look at me; I'm just this girl, part time Mickey Dee's, never lived in your world
Till the day in the hall, you caught me in the act of a fall
I felt your hands on me and Lord although I wanted to I just couldn't speak
So we just let our bodies do the talking way out back late after school when we knew no one else was watching...
What are you thinking Jesse?
Are you thinking bout a girl like me?
You don't want to fall in love
Cause someone broke your heart but it wasn't me
And I knew that from the very start
That you and I were going all the way
Jesse are you thinking, thinking bout me?
The next day at our school you played me for another fool
When we pass in the hall your eyes say you don't know me at all
You're just in a different league I heard you told your friends I'm a freak
I don't care I heard it all, even when you say don't wait around for your call
But I know just where you'll be a going when the bell rings after class and we know no one else is knowing....
What are you thinking Jesse?
Are you thinking bout a girl like me?
You don't want to fall in love
Cause someone broke your heart but it wasn't me
And I knew that from the very start
That you and I were going all the way
Jesse are you thinking, thinking bout me?
You'll just run away cause you can face the facts
You're on the DL with a girl from a different kind of world
You'll never stay away you know you'll just keep coming back
What are you thinking Jesse?
Are you thinking bout a girl like me?
You don't want to fall in love
Cause someone broke your heart but it wasn't me
And I knew that from the very start
That you and I were going all the way
Jesse are you thinking,
Jesse are you thinking,
Thinking bout me? --- END ---

PLEASE COME BACK TO WICHITA
There was a time still in my mind
When I was yours and baby you were mine
There was a place long ago where we had it all and we just didn't know

I won't ever say his name
And I know it might not be the same
We'll just take it one day at a time...

JUST LIKE A CARNY
You came rolling into town on a summer night
lucky for me, your car broke down
at our only streetlight
and I was there to lend a hand
I closed the hood, and picked up my tools
you kissed me on the cheek
and whispered thank you in my ear
and that was all it took
at least you stayed for a week
But you're rolling from one home to the next
How many more like me have there been?
Just like a carny
you move on without a trace
Don't tell me that you love me
you just say what you have to
to get what you need
and in the morning you'll be gone
pulling out stakes
before the dawn
The week went fast
and our love felt pure
I didn't see it comin' till you left for good
at least you left a note
explaining why you had to leave
You said your heart couldn't stay in one place
that there was too much love out there to taste
Baby i wish her the best
I hope you finds your peace
Rolling form one home to the next
How many more like me are ahead?
Just like a carny
you move on without a trace
Don't tell me that you love me
you just say what you have to
to get what you need
and in the morning you'll be gone
pulling out stakes
before the dawn
nothin' I could have said
nothin' I could have done
that would make you want to settle down
make you settle down for love
that would consecrate your soul
make you love me more
but your heart don't work that way
it's a shame you'll never know
Just like a carny
you move on without a trace
Don't tell me that you love me
you just say what you have to
to get what you need
and in the morning you'll be gone
pulling out stakes
before the dawn
there will be another town you'll find tonite
and one more heart that you'll break,
and then you'll go
and then you'll go --- END ---

TWO STEPS AND TANGOS
Would you like to dance?
Take me into the moonlight
I won't turn away cause you got me yearning
Is this for tonight?
Or will it last forever?
If you only knew the way I feel inside
Two steps and tangos
A lovers floor tonight
We'll dance the whole night through
Until the morning light
Would you promise me this?
We won't stop with a kiss
Just spin me round and round
Two steps and tangos
A lovers floor tonight
Take me in your arms
Love me in the morning
Make me believe that you won't be going
I know it won't be long
Until the musical calling
If you only knew the way I feel inside
Two steps and tangos
A lovers floor tonight
We'll dance the whole night through
Until the morning light
Would you promise me this?
We won't stop with a kiss
Just spin me round and round
Two steps and tangos
A lovers floor tonight
Sweep me off my feet
Bring me to my knees
The world is ours tonight
Take me to that place
Where I first saw you face
Then I'll love you for all time
Two steps and tangos
A lovers floor tonight
We'll dance the whole night through
Until the morning light
Would you promise me this?
We won't stop with a kiss
Just spin me round and round
Two steps and tangos
A lovers floor tonight --- END ---

HIGH CLASS IN BORROWED SHOES
Looking back when I was just a girl
didn’t have a clue about my Momma's world
just down 'n out dirt poor family rich in love
They worked all week oh they worked all the time
after all the bills were paid we barely had a dime
thrift store thrift and hope is what got us through
At the end of the week
momma knew
how to keep the love burning
get rid of the blues
High class and borrowed shoes
Momma turned those heads when she wanted to
glowing in that second hand dress she wore like new
gentle laughter, loving eyes
that’s the kind of beauty that money just can’t buy
Didn’t care what she didn’t have, she knew what to do
With high class and borrowed shoes
Little spit and polish, needle and thread
you’d never know how little money they’d spent
they looked like millionaires in my eyes
Momma and daddy danced all night
Others would cut in but daddy didn’t mind
Cause momma saved he last dance for him everytime
Cause at the end of the week
Momma always knew
that wold keep the love burning
get ride of the blues
Closed doors and walls of paper
laughing like fools loving for the ages
If I learned anything I learned it’s true that
High class and borrowed shoes
Momma turned those heads when she wanted to
glowing in that second hand dress she wore like new
gentle laughter, loving eyes
that’s the kind of beauty that money just can’t buy
Didn’t care what she didn’t have, she knew what to do
With high class and borrowed shoes --- END ---

SEPTEMBER TO MAY
September we’re back in class
Different schools in different towns
We’ve been dreading this all summer long, being apart when nothing’s wrong.
We said it won’t be long, we’d hang on to our song
Until springtime comes and I’ll be there in your arms.
From September to May, can we wait that long?
Through the winter days, we’ll listen to our song.
That sweet melody we shared all summer long.
Thanksgiving rendezvous, was the last time I saw you.
And we planned for Valentines, we both know it won’t come true.
Cause the team took all your time. I still love you and we will try.
To keep hanging on to our sweet melody of love.
From September to May, can we wait that long?
Through the winter days, we’ll listen to our song.
That sweet melody we shared all summer long.
We talked a big game, that our love would last
It doesn’t feel the same, hangin on will this love remain? --- END ---

All I wants some peace and quiet sometimes
But damn, you’re gone just one night and now I

DADDY'S DOWN THE LINE
My Cell phone had no service, that's why I haven't called.
Truck’s stopped 100 miles from Tulsa, with stuff nobody needs at all
I hear you got an A in Math I heard you lost a tooth
Tell your mom you love her and don’t forget to clean your room
I just wanted you to know
Daddy’s down the line, daddy’s doin’ fine
Daddy’s workin Overtime
For four days a month and bedtime stories on the phone
Daddy’s not alone
I got your picture on the dash, it’s guiding me back home
I just wanted you to know that Daddy’s Down The Line
This road I’m on’s the high road, it’s the road I’ve got to take
Your mom and me couldn’t work it out, and something had to break
See you next weekend, like her and I have arranged
I set up your bedroom, you’re going to love the place
And I’m on my way home
Daddy’s down the line, daddy’s doin’ fine
Daddy’s workin Overtime
For four days a month and bedtime stories on the phone
Daddy’s not alone
I got your picture on the dash, it’s guiding me back home
I just wanted you to know that Daddy’s Down The Line
I hope that this new guy takes takes care of you, that’s Mom’s new boyfriend
But if you ever need me honey, don’t ever forget
That Daddy’s down the line
Daddy’s down the line, daddy’s doin’ fine
Daddy’s workin Overtime
For four days a month and bedtime stories on the phone
Daddy’s not alone
I got your picture on the dash, it’s guiding me back home
I just wanted you to know that Daddy’s Down The Line --- END ---

IT FINDS ME
Didn’t wash my truck
Didn’t get the yard cut
Cause I was interrupted
Few buddies stopped by
Got me Rocky Mountain high
Now the bee’s ain’t the only things buzzin
It don’t matter what I’m doing, where I’m at
When trouble’s got a target on my back
It finds me, follows me around
A cold beer knows
How to track me down
No it ain’t my fault
I can’t finish what I started
Turns a work day into a party
No it don’t give a damn if I shouldn’t
If a good Tim’s out there lookin
It finds me
Gotta paint that fence
Clean out the old shed
Be a weekend honey do hero
Somehow a cold can always lands in my hands
And my plans go right out the window
Yeah I can lock myself in the house
But like a hell bent happy hour hound
It finds me, follows me around
A cold beer knows
How to track me down
No it ain’t my fault
I can’t finish what I started
Turns a work day into a party
No it don’t give a damn if I shouldn’t
If a good Tim’s out there lookin
It finds me
It don’t matter what I’m doing, where I’m at
When trouble’s got a target on my back
It finds me, follows me around
A cold beer knows
How to track me down
No it ain’t my fault
I can’t finish what I started
Turns a work day into a party
No it don’t give a damn if I shouldn’t
If a good Tim’s out there lookin
It finds me --- END ---

LITTLE BIT OF FIRST KISS
First time I remember
When you walked into the room
You were late for the party
Just trying to be cool
When you looked in my direction
I could see a softer side
I knew something got a hold on me
And it was just a matter of time
How did we get from nothing to something?
Caught in a flash, now we both want that one thing...
Takes a little bit of eyes
Takes a little bit of lips
With a whole lot of smile
To get a little bit of first kiss
You know I’m talking right now
So baby lean on in
For a whole lotta love
You need a little bit of first kiss
Looking back on that moment
And all the things we never knew
Now we’re finishing each others sandwiches
And gazing at the moon
All we have together,
all the things were gonna do
Came from one small reaction
when you walked into the room
How did we get from nothing to something?
Caught in a flash, now we both want that one thing...
Takes a little bit of eyes
Take a little bit of lips
With a whole lot of smile
To get a little bit of first kiss
You know I’m talking right now
So baby lean on in
For a whole lotta love
You need a little bit of first kiss --- END ---

COLD COMFORT
There ain’t gonna be no conversation
everything was said way back when
If I could change I’d take all of the blame
Just to hold you in my arms once again
Now it’s good old boys and barfly buddies
Frosty silver bullets gone in a flash
Here’s to sad songs that old jukebox plays on.
Got to sooth a wounded heart that beats too fast
I just need a little cold comfort
Cold comfort
That’s all I’ve got since you went and said goodbye
This beer tastes just like heartbreak
That’s solo cup is my only friend tonight
I’ll get over you for now all I can do
Is raise a glass of cold comfort
Cold comfort
All the boys went home to wives and steady girlfriends
So I’m holding this here fort for my foolish pride
The call displays on yeah it’s your number I’m callin
I said I’ve never call I guess I lied
Now it’s seven hours, twelve drafts later,
Somebody’s number written on my hand...
The neon shines on but boy you’re still gone
Its closin time and I could use a friend
I just need a little cold comfort
Cold comfort
That’s all I’ve got since you went and said
goodbye
This beer tastes just like heartbreak
That solo cup is my only friend tonight --- END ---

I LOVE THE WAY YOU DRINK
Girl I could spend all night with you
Talk about nothing tangueray for two
On the rocks with a twist straight up with lime
Whatever you want call it girl I’m buying
Or we could hit the dance floor
For a little bit more
Slow spin around to an old country sound
I like the way you move to your favorite song
we aint going home till the lights come on
Pretty brown eyes and shot of jack
Longnecks long legs heart attacks
Sippin on top shelf buzz and ice
Two for one kisses killing me tonight
You’re lighting me up like some neon
You’re the high I kinda wanna spend the night on
I like the way you taste, make it hurt make it burn make it stang
Girl I love the way you drink
So girl lets raise another glass
I like the way you tip em back like that
you press your lips tight
Against a Bud Light
thats the luckiest bottle in the bar tonight
Lets Hit the exit sign
By the side door
Lets call a black car
Like we some rock stars
You know you got me
Where you want me
So set me up another round of that sugar so sweet --- END ---

GET THE F150 OUTTA HERE
Girl I've been saving twenties
In a beat up tip jar playing Tom Petty
To the same old drunks in this dive bar
Girl I've been saving twenties
In a beat up tip jar playing Tom Petty
To the same ol drunks in this dive bar
Cause I'm eying up that 2016 certified pre-owned Ford pickup
The perfect getaway truck
And girl guess what? I just bought it.
Ya I just bought it.
This four wheel drive is ready to burn right out of this one horse town tonight
You can climb that stepside, ride shotgun and wave goodbye
To this nowhere life. Pack up our dreams. Toss em in the bed.
Throw it into gear.
Baby whaddaya say, we get the F150 outta here.
Baby we've talked long enough of blowing our time and talents on getting stuck
It's time to put our money where our mouth is and find out
What freedom's gonna take...
I'm dying to see what your hair looks like blowin in the wind anyway.
This four wheel drive is ready to burn right out of this one horse town tonight
You can climb that stepside, ride shotgun and wave goodbye
To this nowhere life. Pack up our dreams. Toss em in the bed.
Throw it into gear.
Get the F150 outta here.
This town ain't going nowhere while were gone.
And girl we're gonna make it, we're never gonna come back home
ya we're never gonna come back home.
This four wheel drive is ready to burn right out of this one horse town tonight
You can climb that stepside, ride shotgun and wave goodbye
To this nowhere life. Pack up our dreams. Toss em in the bed.
Throw it into gear.
Baby whaddya say we get the F150 out of here?
Let's get the F150 outta here. --- END ---

WAIT TILL DADDY GETS HOME
Slowdown, mama take a breath now
Tell me what’s goin down.
What’s on your mind?
Have faith, these hands can fix anything
Your mood’s gonna start to swing
For the better a little bit later tonight
Just wait till daddy gets home
Girl, you best be all alone
Cause after seeing those messages on my phone, I can barely keep between the lines.
Girl you look so good in your I don’t cares
Pink Supreme hoodie with your messed up hair
Babe you got me rocking on the end of my chair
You know exactly what you’re doing now don’t you?
You may be laughing now but oh...
Just wait till daddy gets home
You’re gonna lay down
Get it all off your chest now
Take your worries and your clothes and
Leave em on the floor
Your angel face reminds me of that getaway
Our honeymoon that never goes away
Never ever never and ever amen
Just wait till daddy gets home
Girl, you best be all alone
Cause after seeing those messages on my phone, I can barely keep between the lines.
Girl you look so good in your I don’t cares
Pink Supreme hoodie with your messed up hair
Babe you got me rocking on the end of my chair
You know exactly what you’re doing now don’t you?
You may be laughing now but oh...
Just wait till daddy gets home
You know exactly what you’re doing now don’t you?
Just wait till daddy gets home
Girl, you best be all alone
Cause after seeing those messages on my phone, I can barely keep between the lines.
Girl you look so good in your I don’t cares

You know exactly what you’re doing now don’t you?
You may be laughing now but oh...

IT IS WHAT IT IS
I don't take things sitting down
I fight back hard and stand my ground
You take something that belongs to me
There ain't gonna be no say la vie
But honey I knew when you walked out
It was something I couldn't do nothing about
Now I wake up every day
Look into the mirror and say it is what it is
It ain't what I want
It's you letting go
And me still holding on
Oh it's sad but it's true
Cause there's nothing I can do
It ain't what I like, it ain't what I wish, it ain't what it was
But it is what it is
Some say love is a rodeo ride
If you wanna stay in it better hang on tight
A leap of faith, a slippery slope
Harder to hold than a bar of soap
The poet's rhyme and the singer's sing
About a fragile yet powerful mysterious thing
The highest highs and the lowest lows
But I've been there and all I know is it is what it is
It ain't what I want
It's you letting go
And me still holding on
Oh it's sad but it's true
Cause there's nothing I can do
It ain't what I like, it ain't what I wish, it ain't what it was
But it is what it is
Yes it is what it is
It's that first white hot ten second kiss
When your heart about to pound right out of your chest
It's angry words, it's a suitcase packed
It's an empty kitchen and a bottle of Jack
It is what it is
Ain't what I want
It's you letting go
And me still holding on
Oh it's sad but it's true
Cause there's nothing I can do
It ain't what I like, it ain't what I wish, it ain't what it was
But it is what it is
It is what it is
Yes it is what it is --- END ---

SOMEWHEREVILLE
Verse 1]
Funny thing about life
It can take you anywhere
Small town girl dreaming New York City
Bet she'll get there
[Verse 2]
She's got some big old dreams
Going to state scholarship bound
She’s gonna fight to earn the means
Won't let her mama down
[Chorus]
Somewhereville, Somewhereville
Pretty little town to the mill shut down hard livingville
Homecoming queen dreaming of the big apple till the quarterback came
She's down for the chapel mama said God's will
Down in Somewhereville
[Verse 3]
She didn't know it could get so bad
Money's tight and fights started
Black eye gift from the deadbeat dad
Left her all alone, brokenhearted
[Verse 4]
Ladies night with her best friend Patty
The only neon lights in this here town
Lookin for a new baby daddy
Why don't you come on down
[Chorus]
Somewhereville, Somewhereville
Pretty little town to the mill shut down hard livingville
Homecoming queen dreaming of the big apple till the quarterback came
She's down for the chapel mama said God's will
Down in Somewhereville
[Bridge]
Turns out those big bright lights
Were heaven on Friday nights with a baby girl
Cheering on the varsity
Her dream was never found
But when she lays her head on down she knows she's got a home
Yeah she still has a home
[Chorus]
Somewhereville, Somewhereville
Pretty little town to the mill shut down hard livingville
Homecoming queen dreaming of the big apple till the quarterback came
She's down for the chapel mama said God's will
Down in Somewhereville
Oh mama said God's will
Down in Somewhereville --- END ---

HOW DID I WAKE UP IN YOUR ARMS AGAIN? (DUET)
In your eyes,
The first light of the day
All the light that I need
Baby just you and me
And back when we first met,
I was captivated
The smile on your face,
The world in your eyes
Even though we knew back then, time wasn’t on our side
Had too much going on but we both knew we’d get it right
How did I wake up in your arms again?
When the first time that we met, we thought we’d just be friends
There’s a little something something we just can’t deny
The rush, the bliss, the high, baby it gets me every time
Now you and me baby,
On the open road
Don’t know where it’s going
But I don’t mind not knowing
Every mile,
Every song on the radio
Every I love you
Dreams do come true
Lovers and dreamers, nothing but time on our side
Singing songs and makin love and drinkin that cheap wine
How did I wake up in your arms again?
When the first time that we met, we thought we’d just be friends
There’s a little something something we just can’t deny
The rush, the bliss, the high, baby it gets me every time
I don’t wanna waste time wondering where we would have been
If I hadn’t got the chance to wake up in your arms again
(Different chords)
How did I wake up in your arms again?
How did I wake up in your arms again?
How did I wake up in your arms again?
When the first time that we met, we thought we’d just be friends
There’s a little something something we just can’t deny
The rush, the bliss, the high, baby it gets me every time
How did I wake up, how did I wake up,
How did I wake up in your arms again? --- END ---

TESLA TRUCKER
Going to come a day when the driving ends
Dispatch called, they got a brand new friend
Drives all night, don't take no breaks
No white line fever, no flying J
When the Tesla trucker hits the road
It's the way that it goes, I guess, but I'm not sold
The world keeps squeezing tighter every day
When the tesla trucker takes the pay
Tesla trucker ain't got no soul
Don't shed no tears, ain't got no home
Used to drive them lonely roads
Sang away the pain, make light the load
Red Sovine, don't know what to say
Tesla trucker needs no songs to play
When the tesla trucker hits the road
It's the way that it goes, I guess, but I'm not sold
The world keeps squeezing tighter every day
When the robot Tesla takes the pay
(Tesla trucker)
(Tesla trucker)
Hell on wheels all dipped in chrome
State of the art, no flesh, no bones
Company man, brand new age
No union dues, no holidays
Tesla trucker
When the tesla trucker hits the road
It's the way that it goes, I guess, but I'm not sold
The world keeps squeezing tighter every day
When the tesla trucker takes the pay
(Tesla trucker)
(Tesla trucker)
(Tesla trucker)

MOVIE KISS
It starts with a love song
Playing on the radio
The beating of my heart takes me higher than the moon
Yeah, you know I really want to
It starts with a love song
Playing on the radio
The beating of my heart
Takes me higher than the moon
Ya you know I really want to
The way you look at me
Sends a shiver through my soul
You're leaning in real close
All we gotta do is let go...
Like a movie kiss
You can't stop this
Fireworks are flying all around
Like a movie kiss feels timeless
Romeo and Juliet sneaking out
Like a movie kiss relentless
We're gonna burn the whole place down...
Ooohh like a movie kiss.
Here in the afterglow
It's so early that it's getting late
I wanna stay but I gotta to go
But we got time for one last take
The way your holding me
Our epic tale of love is told
As the credits roll on and on
All we gotta do is let go
Like a movie kiss
You can't stop this
Fireworks are flying all around
Like a movie kiss feels timeless
Romeo and Juliet sneaking out
Like a movie kiss relentless
We're gonna burn the whole place down...
Ooohh like a movie kiss.

But your touching these lips

You can't stop this
Fireworks are flying all around
Like a movie kiss feels timeless
Romeo and Juliet sneaking out
Like a movie kiss relentless
We're gonna burn the whole place down...
Ooohh like a movie kiss. --- END ---

BAR NECKIN
Another Friday night
The bar's packed real tight
Guys are standing in line cause it's free for ladies tonight
And girls are dressed to the nines
Gonna leave the week behind
Scuff up them boots on the dance floor and take the bull for a ride
Promise you'll behave yourself
Girls just wanna have fun
But when the DJ plays that song
Your show has just begun
And it's gonna be a rerun
Waiting on you and it's 2 AM
Always seem to forget your friends
There you are once again
Bar Neckin
Promise us every time
One French kiss with random guys
Do your ass get left behind
Bar neckin
Hate to start it with wine
Say you'll pace yourself this time
Through the bottom of the bottles it’s gonna get real tight
Double shot of Jack makes that nerd a daddy Mac
By 11 o'clock you forgot which posse's got your back
They all look like tens to you
Hey girl you gotta chill
You think you've got Zac Efron
All you got is Jonah Hill
You're just tripping on a thrill
Waiting on you and it's 2 AM
Always seem to forget your friends
There you are once again
Bar neckin
Promise us every time
One French kiss with random guys
Do your ass get left behind

PATSY CLINE MADE ME THINK OF YOU
When I drive to town
If there's a melody
On the radio
Takes me back to a time of what might have been
You had such a voice
Said you were going far
Lord you sang so strong
The whole joint just sang along to every Patsy song
That was then and this is still now
I've always wondered why we never worked out
So I go walking after midnight
Thinking that I'm crazy
Wishing I was back in baby's arms
And though a long time's passed between us
When she sings I fall to pieces
Thinking 'bout sweet dreams no longer shared
Patsy Cline made me think of you
Patsy Cline made me think of you
Been a long time since we were through
Patsy Cline made me think of you
Seems twenty years got by
Had me a family
Weekends we sing along
To those old campfire songs
Stirring up sweet memories
My daughter asked me why
Daddy there's a tear in your eye
I just smiled and said
Some old ghost just got fed
Ain't it funny how time flies
That was then and this is still now
I've always wondered why we never worked out
So I go walking after midnight
Thinking that I'm crazy
Wishing I was back in baby's arms
And though a long time's passed between us
When she sings I fall to pieces
Thinking 'bout sweet dreams no longer shared
Patsy Cline made me think of you
Patsy Cline made me think of you
Been a long time since we were through
Patsy Cline made me think of you
I thank God for all I have
I'm such a lucky man but these songs make me think wonder why
So I go walking after midnight
Thinking that I'm crazy
Wishing I was back in baby's arms
And though a long time's passed between us
When she sings I fall to pieces
Thinking 'bout sweet dreams no longer shared
Patsy Cline made me think of you
Patsy Cline made me think of you
Been a long time since we were through
Patsy Cline made me think of you --- END ---

BORN WITH A COUNTRY NAME
City girl got the look.
City girl Got the style
City girl heels ain't never walked a country mile
Daddy got all your grandads money
Never worked a damn day in his life but he
Made sure his girl got all the cash and the cars
Hello pretty lady
Dead Mercedes
On the side of the road
Ray Bans starin at me
What’s your name boy?
Girl you’re gonna be told.....
I was born with a country name
I’m living proof of what I’m claiming
It’s not my fault I didn’t get to choose
Cause Mama dont care bout hythm n blues
I walk proud from the place where I ramble
Seven generations all got the same handle...
Carved us a living out of them backwoods
Six days outta seven it was understood
A good ol boy like me won’t ever change
Cause I was born with a country name
Now hop on in
Girl Slide on over
Bet you ain't never heard Randy Travis
in your brand new Rover
Hands in the air boots stomping down
There’s still a few good ol' country boys around.
So you want a taste of the country
Girl you like what you can see
I got something that can’t be denied
It’s all in my history....
I was born with a country name
I’m living proof of what I’m claiming
It’s not my fault I didn’t get to choose
Mama didn't care bout rhythm n blues
I walk proud from the place I ramble
Seven generations all got the same handle
Carved us a living out of them backwoods
Six days outta seven it was understood
A good ol boy like me won’t ever change
Cause I was born with a country name --- END ---

ANGELS ON MY TAILGATE
It's a Friday night, edge of town, get down up on Black Rock Bluff
Got the moonbeams and all the things that a country boy dreams of
CJ's trucks got his kickers cranked up, tires got a keg on the bed
And the back of my ride is a fine sight with eight long lovely legs
I'm talking about angels on my tailgate
It's hard to believe, but I think somebody up there must be smiling down on me
Looks like miracles still happen, cause lo and behold, I got angels on my tailgate
Feels like heaven blessed my soul
Now who would have guessed that the one on the left would wind up being my bride
And I was working late when she called to say that her water broke that night
It was 27 miles of white knuckle driving through the wind and the ice and the snow
Now you can call it luck cause we shut off the truck with a minute and a half to go
But I think it was angels on my tailgate
It's hard to believe, but I think somebody up there must be smiling down on me
Looks like miracles still happen, cause lo and behold, I got angels on my tailgate
Feels like heaven blessed my soul
Yes, some have wings and halos, but they're every shape and size
Like those twins in the sun with the onesies on, got the daddy's smile and the mama's eyes
I'm looking at angels on my tailgate
I still can't believe, but I think somebody upstairs is smiling down on me
I know miracles can happen now, cause lo and behold, I got angels on my tailgate
I swear heaven blessed my soul
Heaven blessed my soul
Lovely angel --- END ---

LEAVING FOR ALBERTA
Have you ever seen the sun rise on the ocean
You'd be lucky if you lived to see it twice
I've seen it all my life
Now I'm leaving here tonight
Flying away out west without you
I'll be leaving for Alberta in the morning
I'll be back by summer praying you're still there
If the work is good and the money's fast
We might have a second chance
Go on with our lives like we did before
And stay on this island of ours forevermore
All the jets taking men from the rock to Fort McMurray
Get a little fuller every time that crude oil spikes
Mamas and their babies cry
Cause their daddy's on a suncor flight
A daddy knows just what a daddy's got to do
I'll be leaving for Alberta in the morning
I'll be back by summer praying you're still there
If the work is good and the money's fast
We might have a second chance
Go on with our lives like we did before
Stay on this island of ours forevermore
I remember the stories my daddy told me
About the fishing grounds and all their glory
They're all gone they ain't never coming back
Half in different lands living in Fort Mac
Trying to get on with their lives like they did, like they did
I'll be leaving for Alberta in the morning
I'll be back by summer praying you're still there
If the work is good and the money's fast
We might have a second chance
Go on with our lives like we did before
Stay on this island of ours forevermore --- END ---

LOVE EMERGENCY
[Verse 1]
Don't you feel it getting hotter for me, babe?
All I need is just a water for me, babe
Then you walk into the room like my doctor ordered you
Can't you see that I'm fading fast?
Oh, the moment you came along, babe
(You came along)
I was feeling pretty strong, babe
(Feeling pretty strong)
Now I'm weak at the knees, come put your hand on me
Won't you come and make me feel alright?
[Chorus]
(Oh) Nine one one emergency, can’t you feel myurgency?it’s an emergency a love emergency
Nine one one outta my mind, cross my heart, hope to die
An Emergency
Can't you see it's an emergency?
(Yeah)
[Verse 2]
Got me running up a fever, babe
(Running up a fever)
Oh, you know you be my healer, babe
(Won't you be my healer?)
Oh, this game is terrible, be my love, be my drug
Help me make it to the morning
[Chorus]
(Oh) Nine one one emergency, can’t you feel my urgency?

IF YOU COULD DO WHAT YOU WANTED TO
[Verse 1]
Super man taught me I could fly
When I was only five
But Mary Lou’s braces proved that wasn’t true
When I kissed her afterschool
Those high school days were over in a blaze
I couldn’t wait to get a job so I could finally get paid
When at last I found the hero in me
Seems like life had some other destiny
[Chorus}
Did you ever wonder what you could do
If you could do what you wanted to
Like a eagle flying high in the sky
I sure could do what I wanted to
6 am the alarm rings wake me for another too long day
Same blah job same blah boss
Can’t stand living at a total loss
I thought I’d be more than I am
Sometimes it’s hard to understand
What ever happened to all my dreams
My master plan looks torn at the seams
Did you ever wonder what you could do
If you could do what you wanted to
Like a eagle flying high in the sky
I sure could do what I wanted to
I’m gonna make me another start
I don’t know when and I don’t know how
But when that chance comes
I’m gonna grab it and get out
Did you ever wonder what you could do
If you could do what you wanted to
Like a eagle flying high in the sky
I sure could do what I wanted to --- END ---

ALL OR NOTHING
[Verse 1]
Your whole story in the making
There are two hearts trying to beat as one
That's a risk that's worth the taking
If you're gonna get the love you want
[Pre-Chorus]
Only when you give it all will it return
That's the very thing that makes the world turn
[Chorus]
'Cause it's all or nothing when the love's true
Many hopes and many heartaches come with saying I love you
But that one thing is the reason why we do the things we do
'Cause it's all or nothing when I say that I love you
[Verse 2]
Every day of every year there's always someone getting burned by love
And even though it is sincere, the warmest hearts may freeze or break and run
[Pre-Chorus]
If you hold your ground you just might have a chance
Taking on the world in a new romance
[Chorus]
'Cause it's all or nothing when the love's true
Many hopes and many heartaches come with saying I love you
But that one thing is the reason why we do the things we do
'Cause it's all or nothing when I say that I love you
[Bridge]
Best intentions always seem to be the ones with the hardest love
This will keep us on trying 'cause the love that you're denying could be the one (ooh yeah)
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
'Cause it's all or nothing when the love's true
Many hopes and many heartaches come with saying I love you
But that one thing is the reason why we do the things we do
'Cause it's all or nothing when I say that I love you
'Cause it's all or nothing when I say that I love you
'Cause it's all or nothing when I say that I love you --- END ---

I BREAKUP WITH YOU
[Intro]
One, two, one, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
Your friend's talking to my friend who told me
You've been kissing somebody else
Your friend's talking to my friend who told me
You've been messing and you saw herself
You were gonna let me down easy
Were you worried that I'd make a scene
I had to hear it through the grapevine, baby
[Chorus]
'Cause a bitch and revenge is sweet
You don't break up with me, I break up with you
It's not a rumor anymore, baby, now it's true
You don't break up with me, I break up with you
[Verse 2]
Your friend's talking to my friend who told me
That you were thinking of keeping me around
Your friend was saying it's not your genius
As long as I didn't find out
You'll see you made a big mistake
You probably don't even have a heart to break
I need more than just a pretty face
Not a boy who's home playing video games
[Chorus]
You don't break up with me, I break up with you
It's not a rumor anymore, baby, now it's true
You don't break up with me, I break up with you
[Bridge]
One more time
You don't break up with me, I break up with you
[Guitar Solo]

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
I hear you baby
There’s work to do
It keeps piling on up and I know that's bothering you
But I got a plan
You know what they say
Old dog's new tricks, yeah Rome wasn't built in a day
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't get me wrong
We're gonna get it right
[Chorus]
I got a funny little feeling it’s your loving that I’m needing it's the only thing we're doing tonight
Come Sunday morning
We're gonna follow through
I got unfinished business and I'm making it my mission when it comes to me and you
[Verse 2]
Little splash on the rocks
Down the small of your back
It's hard to stay on track when you're looking like that
It doesn't make me want to get at
Those dishes piled up
Laundry sittin down there
Sun's going down quick, take it easy, take a sip, call it unfinished business
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't get me wrong
We're gonna get it right
[Chorus]
I got a funny little feeling it’s you're loving that I’m needing it's the only thing we're doing tonight
Come Sunday morning
We're gonna follow through
I got unfinished business and I'm making it my mission when it comes to me and you
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't get me wrong
We're gonna follow through
[Chorus]
I got a funny little feeling it’s your loving that I'm missing and we’re doing all that tonight
Come Sunday morning
We're gonna follow through
I got unfinished business and I'm making it my mission when it comes to me and you
I got unfinished business and I'm making it my mission when it comes to me and you --- END ---

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU GOT DRUNK?
[Verse 1]
Jimmy drives a rig, just hauling cable
Forty hours a week, putting food on the table
Weekend comes with paycheck cashing
There's just one thing he'll be asking tonight
[Chorus]
When was the last time you got drunk?
When was the last time you tore it up?
Pouring shots all night, just to call it a day
When was the last time you got drunk?
Man, when was the last time you had some fun?
The answer to that question just might be tonight
[Verse 2]
They say there's having a few beers
And then there's drinking
Jimmy's double-fisting, he sure ain't thinking
Some come out for the fight, some come out for the women
Jimmy came out for a cold can of Pabst Blue Ribbon
[Chorus]
When was the last time you got drunk?
When was the last time you tore it up?
Pouring shots all night, just to call it a day
When was the last time you got drunk?
Man, when was the last time you had some fun?
The answer to that question just might be tonight
[Verse 3]
Jimmy's paying the price and he's holding the porcelain
Wishing he'd never won his suede boots and that nice shirt
'Cause in the morning light, most fear
Where Jimmy grabs another beer
'Cause the best way to shake it off
It's just to grab that hair of the dog
[Chorus]
When was the last time you got drunk?
When was the last time you tore it up?
Pouring shots all night, just to call it a day
When was the last time you got drunk?
Man, when was the last time you had some fun?
The answer to that question just might be tonight
The answer to that question just might be tonight

WALK ON FIRE WITH YOU
[Verse 1]
Oh baby, we can go all night
Why stop now when it feels so right?
Full moon and a bottle gonna take me to tomorrow with you
With you
[Verse 2]
You know you had it coming for a long time now
And boy, it's time to teach you what you don't know how
Your mama said I'm a sinner and I'll go down to the river with you
[Chorus]
I'm gonna walk on fire with you
I'm gonna walk on fire with you
[Verse 3]
Where the whiskey got me dizzy and there's no doubt
Better lay me on down because I'm about to pass out on you
Oh baby, on you
[Verse 4]
Smoke 'em if you got 'em 'cause I'm burning with desire
I bet your mama don't know that I'm a real live wire with you
It's true
It's true
[Chorus]
I'm gonna walk on fire with you
I'm gonna walk on fire with you
[Instrumental Break]

I'm gonna walk on fire with you
I'm gonna walk on fire with you
I'm gonna walk on fire with you
I'm gonna walk on fire with you --- END ---

WHEN I RIDE
Verse 1]
There's a thrill
I only find when I'm out on the highway
Got a road
And I can only seem to do it my way
My thoughts are free
Right where I want to be
After my high
[Chorus]
When my life
Ain't going quite the way that I had planned it
Spinnin' wheels take me somewhere in the world I'll understand it
So far from here
That my troubles disappear
And it's all right
[Chorus]
When I ride
There's something in my soul that falls in place
When I roll
There's nothing in the world I can't escape
I'm gone for good
But I'm good to go
[Verse 2]
There ain't no map
No matter the names and places that I'm going
Freedom calls
And that's all I'll be needing and be knowing
I feel the wind whisper by me
Once again I'm on the highway
And it's all right
[Chorus]
When my life
There's something in my soul that falls in place
When I roll
There's nothing in this world I can't escape
I ain't gone for good
But I'm good to go
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
All that I need
Something left over me
And all that I need
And all that I need
When I ride
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
When I ride
There's something in my soul that falls in place
When I roll
There ain't nothing in the world I can't escape
I'm far from good
But I'm good to go
[Outro]
(Oh)
(Oh)
(Oh) --- END ---

LOST IN THE THICK OF LOVE
[Verse 1]
All alone, Doing things on my own
Then you came along
And it all changed for me
Thought I had it all
Then you went and made me fall
Now it's all clear
How things could be
[Chorus]
When you wanna fall, and you’ve gone all in
When you wanna dream, but you cannot sleep
You think that you’re in love, but you don’t believe it
You’re lost in the thick of love in the thick of love
[Verse 2]
Everyday, We can live life our way
With a love strong
Forever me and you
We got it all, Who doesn't want to have it all?
So please say yes
Cause I know it's true
[Chorus2]
I just want to fall I wanna be all in
You're in all my dreams girl under my skin
I'm just falling hard please let's begin
Let's be lost in the thick of love
[Bridge]
People spend their lives hoping to find
One love like ours to last for all time
[Chorus 3]
When you wanna fall, and you’ve gone all in
When you wanna dream, but you cannot sleep
You think that you’re in love, but you don’t believe it
You’re lost in the thick of love in the thick of love --- END ---

ONCE YOU GO COUNTRY
[Verse 1]
I can tell you don't go out
Good old boys like me
So maybe it’s just a case of curiosity
But let me warn you before it goes too far
Before you get your first taste of pickup trucks, moonshine and southern stars
[Chorus]
Once you go country
You'll never go back
Once you trade in your fifty cent and your nickel back
For some cold hard Johnny Cash
When you're hollering (woo) and swallering
In your boots and your cowboy hat
Once you go country
You'll never go back
[Verse 2]
Now you're saying hey y'all to everyone you meet
And when you hear a Skynyrd song come on, you start stomping your feet
It just took one two-step dance to whet your appetite
Now you're finger licking deep fried chicken and sipping sweet tea and ice
[Chorus]
Once you go country
You don't go back
Once you trade in your fifty cent and your nickel back
For some cold hard Johnny Cash
When you're hollering (woo) and swallering
In your boots and your cowboy hat
Once you go country
You'll never go back
[Bridge]
Yeah, we'll build a little house
Sit on the front porch swing
Look up at the Moonshine
And listen to the crickets sing
[Chorus]
Once you go country
You'll never go back
Once you trade in your fifty cent and your nickel back
For some cold hard Johnny Cash
When you're hollering (woo) and swallering
In your boots and your cowboy hat
Yeah, once you go country
You'll never go back
[Outro]
(Good job, guys) --- END ---

FEELS LIKE SOMEONE'S WALKING ON MY GRAVE
[Verse 1]
Something's wrong in the middle of the night
Got this feeling that it just ain't right
Winds are howling and the storm's moving in
It's gonna wash away all my sins
We are high in a deep dark sky
Spirits calling out my name
Brings a shiver right down my spine
No way of knowing what it is
[Chorus]
I feel like someone's walking on my grave
Feeling kind of strange
I feel like someone's walking on my grave
Driving me insane
[Verse 2]
There's a secret I just can't deny
Someone's watching with an evil eye
The past is calling out to be paid
Bills overdue but I'm just to blame
Can't run away and I don't know why
My feet are frozen to the earth
I gotta stay, I gotta stand my ground
No matter what may come
[Chorus]
I feel like someone's walking on my grave
Feeling kind of strange
I feel like someone's walking on my grave
Driving me insane
[Bridge]
Time to face my fears, time to hide my tears
Time to keep on keeping on
(ooh-yeah)
(ooh-yeah)
(ooh-yeah)
[Chorus]
I feel like someone's walking on my grave
Feeling kind of strange
I feel like someone's walking on my grave
Driving me insane
Yeah, driving me insane

GIVE ME THE CHEAPEST AND THE COLDEST
Opening chorus]
(Hey bartender)….
Give me the cheapest and the coldest
Make itJust like that man
He went and left me in the coal dust
I just don't understand
[Verse 1]
When we met it was peaches and cream
I thought we had a fairytale story
We coulda been a lifetime team
Turns out he didn’t write it for me
I put in everything I gave it my best
All I wanted was his ring
But when I asked and put him to the test
He was gone aint that the thing
[Chorus]
Give me the cheapest and the coldest
Make itJust like that man
He went and left me in the coal dust
I just don't understand
[Verse 2]
You know I ain’t ungrateful
I’m not asking for a lot
When he wanted mashed potatoes
He sure got ‘em and he got ‘em hot
I put in everything aint nothing left
No country girl would understand
But mama said it and she said it best
Ain’t it just like a man
[Chorus]
Give me the cheapest and the coldest
Make itJust like that man
He went and left me in the coal dust
I just don't understand
(And bartender honey , you can put it on my tab) --- END ---

BACK WHEN YOU HAD MY BACK
Verse 1]
Sorry I’m so tired of feeling sorry for myself
Heard that you've been playing house with someone else
I heard it from a friend
I Ain't sad. Sad to say that I ain't mad at you no more
Ain’t no turning back to what we were before
Before we hit the end
[Chorus]
Back when we were young and wild and free as the wind
Back when you had me and I had you back when
Back when you had my back
Back when you had my heart
Back when we had the world
Back when we had it all
[Verse 2]
Remember, I remember breaking up and waking up and making love
Cause loving you was the only thing I knew
[Chorus]
Back when we were young and wild and free as the wind
Back when you had me and I had you back when
Back when you had my back
Back when you had my heart
Back when we had the world
Back when we had it all
[Bridge]
We chased the moon and the stars with our heads in the clouds
Just two dreamers living out loud
Sometimes I wish that I could turn back time
[Chorus]
Back when you had my back
Back when you had my heart
Back when we had the world
Back when we had it all
Oh back when you had my back
Back when you had my heart
Back when we had the world
Back when we had it all --- END ---

SOME JUST PLAY THE GAME OF LOVE
Every towns got one
local watering hole
That people get pulled into
By forces unknown
They know they wanna be there
But they don’t know why
They just get drawn like a moth to that neon light
Some play with emotions
Some play with daddy’s money
Got the notion
Of maybe getting lucky
happy hour wall flowers hanging around
Till that last call comes down and they all get thrown out
Some are getting numbers
Some are acting tough
Some just play the game of love
Sweaty palms
and stolen glances
All night long waiting, waitin on chances
To swoop on in for the last slow dance song
Cuz once the lights come on they’ll all be gone
Some play with emotions
Some play with daddy’s money
Got the notion
Of maybe getting lucky
happy hour wall flowers hanging around
Till that last call comes down and they all get thrown out
Some are getting numbers
Some are acting tough
Some just play the game of love
Some-just-play, play the game of love --- END ---

I BELIEVE THE WHISKEY
I’m looking for the answers in the bottom of this glass
So pour me another I’ve got questions to ask
I’m totally committed to finding the truth
But it’s not here in this beer. Kick it up to 90 proof
I believe the whiskey when it says I’m 10 feet tall
The smartest man alive ask me anything at all
What they can’t teach in school, I learned here on this stool
I’ve got the 90 proof I believe the whiskey
When I hear the whiskey talkin, I open up my ears
It’s crazy how those voices makes yours just disappear
Now if the Dali lama had ever met Jim beam
They could have made this world a better place
For guys like you and me
I believe the whiskey when it says I’m ten feet tall
The best I’ll ever be say hell yeah amen y’all
What they can’t teach in school, I learned here on this stool
I’ve got the 90 proof I believe whiskey
Only a fool argues with a fool
Cause no one can tell who’s the fool me or
I believe the whiskey when it says I’m ten feet tall
The best I’ll ever be hell yeah amen y’all
What they can’t teach in school, I learned here on this stool
I’ve got the 90 proof I believe whiskey
I believe the whiskey --- END ---

SHOW YOU THE HIGH ROAD
Lord I want to believe things are getting better
Even though they seem to get worse
And I know out there somebody’d trade places with me.
My troubles to them are far from a curse
It’s so hard to be grateful
When your heart’s feelin hateful
You got to let out the love
Stay high above
Don’t let them drag you down
Brother you don’t know where to go
Feeling lost inside your soul
It’s right there to behold
I can lighten your load
Let me show you the high road
Now the world today sure aint what it useta
What would Jesus say, say if he coulda
Let charity win over greed always like it shoulda
Still unto ourselves were doin glory halleluja
It’s so hard to be grateful
When your heart’s feelin hateful
You got to let out the love
Stay high above
Don’t let them drag you down
Brother you don’t know where to go
Feeling lost inside your soul
It’s right there to behold
I can lighten your load
Let me show you the high road
The message is still the same
One and all can claim
When youre down you will receive
Miracles can happen if you believe
It’s so hard to be grateful
When your heart’s feelin hateful
You got to let out the love
Stay high above
Don’t let them drag you down
Brother you don’t know where to go
Feeling lost inside your soul
It’s right there to behold
I can lighten your load
Let me show you the high road --- END ---

AS LONG AS I CAN DRIVE

Head out to the country running from the city
Let's sneak out this afternoon
[Verse 2]
Riding shotgun with me wondering when you'll kiss me
Ain't no telling what we might do
[Chorus]
I'm gonna love you till the morning in my truck
Just no telling all about it boy you got some pure blind luck
And in the dawn when the stars no longer shine
We can do it all again just as long as I can drive

Let's find a secret swimming hole
No one knows where I can show you
You can show me
We can do anything we want
Something we all need
[Verse 3]
In this neon jacked up hemi let’s fly outta the city
Boy we got nothing better to do
[Verse 4]
Somewhere near the Gun Rack reachin for your six pack
Looks like it's a party with you

I'm gonna love you till the morning in my truck
Just no telling all about it boy you got some pure blind luck
And in the dawn when the stars no longer shine

Let's find a secret swimming hole
No one knows where I can show you
You can show me

Rocking in the bed of my four by four like a rodeo
Stampin red dirt put under that midnight sky
Bumping and grinding is what's going on
Baby close your eyes, it ain't no surprise
As long as I can drive

Let's find us a road, let's find us a ride
Let's find a secret swimming hole

We’re both hoping for a break why escalate

WHY CAN'T I CRY?
Verse 1]
You left me in a wasteland, no man's land
Walking through the desert when
You threw my heart right out the window
And I had to pick it up, find a beat
Crawl until I could be
Standing straight up and strong on my own
[Pre-Chorus]
And it all seems like a blur, you're blowing smoke and kicking dirt
It ain't like it didn't hurt, so
[Chorus]
Why, why
Can't I cry?
Tell me why
Can't I cry?
I just need some tears to fall, a break to get through this wall
And it'll all be done and over, over
Why, why
Can't I, why
Can't I cry?
[Verse 2]
I'm swimming in a flashback, bags packed
Ready for some rehab
Been zoning out like I'm a stoner
And all I can do is think, what the hell is wrong with me?
I just want to feel again
[Chorus]
Why, why
Can't I cry?
Tell me why
Can't I cry?
I just need some tears to fall, a break to get through this wall
And it'll all be done and over, over
Why, why
Can't I, why
Can't I cry?
[Outro]
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)
I just need some tears to fall
And it'll all be done and over
Why, why
Can't I cry?
Why, why
Can't I cry?
I just need some tears to fall, a break to get through this wall
And it'll all be done and over, over
Why, why
Can't I, why
Can't I cry?
Why, why
Can't I cry? --- END ---

I WANNA LIVE A LIFE WORTH LIVING

I wanna live a life worth living
I wanna leave a mark on time
I wanna live a life that's something
They'll remember, they’ll remember
Down the line
Down the line

Take it higher
When there's something that’s worth keeping your eye-on
You’ll never spend it sleeping even though your thoughts are dreaming ever higher never thought that you could make it so you try on.
To wanna make a life worth living

COULD IT BE LOVE
[Verse 1]
I never thought that I'd fall so hard
If heaven passed my way
I was Looking from afar
To see it just for a second
Believe it anyway
Baby can we have tonight
Cause I’d die to hear you say
[Chorus]
Could it be love
Could it be we're the lucky ones
Never felt so right until the first time that we touched
Could it be love
Or just an ordinary crush
I wanna shout it out for all the world to hear
Could it be love
[Verse 2]
Something about the way you look tonight
It's got me all wrapped up
Burning deep inside
The twinkle in your eyes
To me it's everything
I wonder if you feel it too
Or am I just dreaming?
[Chorus]
Could it be love
Could it be we're the lucky ones
Never felt so right until the first time that we touched
Could it be love
Or just an ordinary crush
I wanna shout it out for all the world to hear
Could it be love
[Bridge]
It's funny how life takes us for a ride
Could have walked right past you and paid no never mind
What if we hadn't met
Lived our lives with someone else until the end
[Chorus]
Could it be love
Could it be we're the lucky ones
Never felt so right until the first time that we touched
Could it be love
Or just an ordinary crush
I wanna shout it out for all the world to hear
Could it be love.
Could it be love. --- END ---

TRAINS PLANES AND AUTOMOBILES
[Verse 1]
I had a dream you kissed me
And now I damn sure wish we
Could lay in bed all day and just be lazy
We're finding time where we can
But I'm gone every weekend
I'm missing you like crazy
Yeah baby
[Chorus]
I miss you like black and white Nick at Nite pouring red wine and we're watching some "I Love Lucy"
Miss you like Friday night fireflies driving nights
And staying up for an 80s movie…
So I'll be catching trains, planes, automobiles
Ever since I met you I'm gonna get you any way I can
I’ll be catching trains, planes, and automobiles
Any way I'm taking I'm gonna make my way to you again
(Hey)
[Verse 2]
I'm living in your sweater
You're finding my love letters
It's okay baby but it's not the real thing
[Chorus]
I miss you like black and white Nick at Nite pouring red wine and we're watching some I love lucy
Miss you like Friday night fireflies driving nights
Staying on up for an 80s movie
I'll be catching trains, planes, automobiles
Ever since I met you I'm gonna get you any way I can
I’ll be catching trains, planes, and automobiles
Any way I'm taking I'm gonna make my way to you again
(Yeah)
[Outro]
(Yeah yeah)
(I'll live on that)
(Baby just to hold you in the)

YOU'RE REAL GOOD AT MOVIN ON
[Verse 1]
Sitting and drinking, thinking all by myself
Watching you trading drinks for smiles with someone else
Staring, shaking, hit and run last week
He's a deer in the headlights, I can see what he can't see
[Chorus]
Well we hooked up Friday, slept in Saturday
Met your mama Sunday night
You don't waste any time, cause wasting time's not your style
Monday we were smitten , Tuesday two steppin
Wednesday talking rest of our lives
Thursday you ditched me, Friday it hit me
You’re real good at moving on
[Verse 2]
He’s five drinks deep, he's hooked line and sinker, he's your prey
Reel you in, spit you out, cowboy you've been played
[Chorus]
Cause we hooked up Friday, slept in Saturday
Met your mama Sunday night
You don't waste any time, cause wasting time's not your style
Monday I was smitten, Tuesday two steppin
Wednesday talking rest of our lives
Thursday you ditched me, Friday it hit me
You’re real good at moving on
[Bridge]

THE WORLD NEEDS A BEER
[Verse 1]
It's plain to see this world has lately gone off the deep
Gone plumb crazy everybody's mad
Everything's a damn shame
Wish I could bring them all down in Gallagher's pub
Take a load off they could kick their feet up
And listen to Joe tell a dirty joke and chill
[Chorus]
Yeah I think what the world needs is to take a little break from reality
And maybe we could see things a little more clear
Yeah I think big or subtle we can drown our troubles in tiny bubbles
It ain't PC but it's how we do it 'round here
Yeah I think the world needs a beer
[Verse 2]
If you don't believe me just look around
Everybody's high-fiving and laughing out loud with a big old smile
I guess that's why they call this happy hour
[Chorus]
Yeah I think what the world needs is to take a little break from reality
And maybe we could see things a little more clear
Yeah I think big or subtle we can drown our troubles in tiny bubbles
It ain't PC but it's how we do it 'round here
Yeah I think the world needs a beer
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Yeah I think what the world needs is to take a little break from reality
And maybe we could see things a little more clear
'Cause I think big or subtle we can drown our troubles in tiny bubbles
It ain't PC but it's how we do it 'round here
Yeah if you agree raise 'em up and say cheers
Yeah I think the world needs a beer
The world needs a beer
Yeah a big old ice cold beer --- END ---

SAFE HOUSE
[VERSE 1]
Girl you’ve sure seen your share of busted and broken homes
Never found a place to plant your roots
But I know half an acre, that’s made for two
It might not be quite as grand or tall as the Taj Mahal
But the bones are good, it’s built to last
Through wind and rain, it ain’t made of glass
[CHORUS ]
If you need a place to land
I got the deed, I got the keys
Behind this picket fence
The big bad world won’t ever breach
Whenever you’re there
You can let your hair and walls all fall down
Forever in this safe house
[VERSE 2]
It’s two stories of Tennessee timber
Where we can raise our own
At our own pace, in our own space
With plenty of room to grow
And square feet, for some little feet
Someday on this hardwood floor
Roam free as you wanna be
But baby there’s an open door
[Chorus]
If you need a place to land
I got the deed, I got the keys
Behind this picket fence
The big bad world won’t ever breach
Whenever you’re there
You can let your hair and walls all fall down
Forever in this safe house
[Bridge]
At the end the day
Wherever we stay
I’ll be your solid ground
Where we can build a safe house
[Chorus]
If you need a place to land
I got the deed, I got the keys
Behind this picket fence
The big bad world won’t ever breach
Whenever you’re there
You can let your hair and walls all fall down
Forever in this safe house --- END ---

SHES A HOT MESS
[Intro]
Hey boys, little hot mess
One, two, one, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
Down by the river in the pale moonlight
Told a story about a girl that don't end it right
Watch out, slow down, hold on
[Verse 2]
Should've seen her coming from a mile away
Like a mean Texas twister on a hot summer day
Watch out, slow down, hold on
[Chorus]
Never seen a girl like her before
Red flags waving, you're back for more
She's a hot mess, sugar in a cat suit and a piece of dress
A hot mess, tearing down the town in a daddy's 'vette
[Verse 3]
They say innocent, she ain't no good at it
Makes all the boys go wild
A hot mess, it's a matter of time 'til you're on your back
She's a hot mess
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
First two
(Oh yeah, you don't have to listen)
(I don't have to listen) --- END ---

COFFEE AND CRUISE CONTROL
[Verse 1]
Crossed the state line ‘bout an hour fore daybreak
200 miles to go till I can see your face
There's something in your voice the last time that we spoke
Didn't have to read between the lines, I know I had to get back home
Now what you said or didn't say, it's the miles in between
Not a matter of you or a matter of me
I have to believe it's a matter of coffee
[Chorus]
And cruise control
Keep my eyes wide open while the white line leads me home
I got a full tank, the radio on
A mile a minute till the night is finished, pray you won't be gone
The only thing that keeps me hanging on
Is coffee and cruise control
[Verse 2]
You hit the ground running, fall back and bid half-dead
In between your life careens from A to Z and back again
We were so good together, where and when did we go wrong?
Your hopes and dreams aren't what they seem when the shiny part wears off
Not who we were or who we are, it's the miles in between
Not a matter of staying or a matter of leaving
I hope you believe it's a matter of coffee
[Chorus]
And cruise control
Keep my eyes wide open while the white line leads me home
I got a full tank, the radio on
A mile a minute till the night is finished, pray you won't be gone
The only thing that keeps me hanging on
Is coffee and cruise control
[Bridge]
The wheels hum and the engine runs down an endless stretch of road
While a woman waits at dawn to break on my last ride alone
(Pray you won't be gone)
[Chorus]
It's a matter of coffee and cruise control
Keep my eyes wide open while the white line leads me home
Got a full tank, the radio on
A mile a minute till the night is finished, pray you won't be gone
The only thing that keeps me hanging on
Is coffee and cruise control
(Cruise control)
(Coffee and cruise control)
(Yeah) --- END ---

BEACHCOMBER
[Verse 1]
She's a beachcomber, when the dawn's calling
You'll find her, down in the surf, picking memories
Deep in the sand, beneath the toles
There are pieces of gold and stories untold
Just lost memories
None of them her own
[Chorus]
Because she lives a lonely life
Combing moonlit shores at night
Never finding precious memories of her own
[Verse 2]
She's a beachcomber, when the dawn's calling
You'll find her, this treasure seeker, hunting diamond rings
And most of the time, it's nickels and dimes
Watched up by the tide, she's just getting by
On her hopes and dreams
On the next prize that she finds
[Chorus]
Because she lives a lonely life
Combing moonlit shores at night
Never finding precious memories of her own
[Bridge]
She's a beachcomber
Just getting older
What always glitters ain't always gold
It's fine to keep her soul with soul
The only thing she's bent on keeping is sweet time
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
She's a beachcomber, when the dawn's calling
You'll find her, this treasure seeker, hunting diamond rings
And most of the time, it's nickels and dimes
Watched up by the tide, she's just getting by
With her hopes and dreams
On the next prize that she finds
[Chorus]
Because she lives a lonely life
Combing moonlit shores at night
Never finding precious memories of her own
[Outro]
She's a beachcomber
Yeah she's just getting older --- END ---

ELEVEN ELEVEN
[Verse 1]
We kissed goodnight
Didn't know it was the last time cause we never said goodbye
There are times when I think of you
That clock up on the wall asks me what if it was true
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe it's coincidence, I don't know
Maybe it's just fate
[Chorus]
When it's 11:11 and the stars are shooting and my heart is praying
All it takes is one wish to bring you back from heaven
When it's 11:11
[Verse 2]
Where are you tonight?
I wonder, God, I wonder, would you still be mine?
Is your spirit up in the sky?
Somehow gazing at the moon at the very same time
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe it's coincidence, I don't know
Maybe it's just fate
[Chorus]
When it's 11:11 and the stars are shooting and my heart is praying
All it takes is one wish to bring you back from heaven
When it's 11:11
[Bridge]
This foolish heart tries so hard to believe
Cause no one's thinking about me, can't you see it's 11:13
[Chorus]
When it's 11:11 and the stars are shooting and my heart is praying
All it takes is one wish to bring you back from heaven
When it's 11:11 and the stars are shooting and my heart is praying
All it takes is one wish to bring you back from heaven
[Outro]
When it's 11:11
When it's 11:11
When it's 11:11
When it's 11:11 --- END ---

UP ALL NIGHT
[Verse 1]
Up up up up up all night with you
Up up up up up up all night with you
Blinds are pulled down and the music's low
Only light in the room is a Netflix glow
I just wanna be here with you
(I just wanna be here with you)
There's a look in your eye girl I think you know
The reason that I ain't already halfway home
I just wanna be here with you
(I just wanna be here with you)
[Pre-Chorus]
We're in the moment right now
Tomorrow only comes if we let it
[Chorus]
And that's you
We're the ones getting older
If we don't sleep
Is it really staying over?
Your daddy won't know, your mama won't mind
You say you don't want me to leave
I've got nowhere to go and nowhere to be
And I'm down
To stay up up up up up all night with you
To stay up up up up up all night with you
[Verse 2]
We're almost at the bottom of this box of wine
I think this playlist just started for the second time
I just wanna be here with you
(I just wanna be here with you)
I don't know who's coming on stronger
If you lose one more button on that shirt I'm just saying
[Chorus]
And that's you
We're the ones getting older
If we don't sleep
Is it really staying over?
Your daddy won't know, your mama won't mind
You say you don't want me to leave
I've got nowhere to go and nowhere to be
And I'm down
To stay up up up up up all night with you
To stay up up up up up all night with you

To stay up up up up up all night with you

RAGS TO RICHES AND RICHES TO RAGS
[Verse 1]
Get up in the morning, drag it out of bed
Working for the man, working till you're dead
Almighty dollar, go get yourself some
Go and sell your soul if the kingdom come
Go buy cash, or Bitcoin gold
Said the YouTube man, lo and behold
Careful what you wish for, somebody said
Let all that glitters be your testament…
[Chorus]
Rags to riches and riches to rags
Talking 'bout a living, puttin money in the bag
You want everything and there's no denying
That you came up swinging but you went down crying
Now you’re Driving Uber tryna keep that Jag
Rags to riches and riches to rags
[Verse 2]
You're running with the dogs on a crazy ride
Equifax calling, pray you're not denied
Is it Louis Vuitton or kroger you’re eyeing ?
Who cares about the bags you're buying?
Beaucoup bucks, only Benjamins they want
Spend 'em if you got 'em like you're all gone drunk
Your bumper sticker's got a seven deadly sin
He Who dies with the most toys wins…
[Chorus]
Rags to riches and riches to rags
Talking 'bout a living, puttin money in the bag
You want everything and there's no denying
That you came up swinging and then you went down crying

Rags to riches and riches to rags
Rags to riches and riches to rags

Filthy lucre keeps your right on moving
Rags to riches and riches to rags
Rags to riches and riches to rags

Talking 'bout a living, putting money in the bag
You want everything and there's no denying
That you came up swinging but you went down crying

Rags to riches and riches to rags
Rags to riches and riches to rags --- END ---

ONLY FOOLS
[Verse 1]
I should have known from the moment I met you
We'd be going down this road
I feel the sun burning off the black top
Chillin me to the bone
Well We're 200 miles from nowhere, baby
Trying to outrun the storm
(Oh-yeah)
[Chorus]
Only fools, only fools leap before they look
Only fools, only fools play it by the book
Only fools crave the cut of the knife
Only a fool's gonna get it right, at getting over you
[Verse 2]
I got real good at loving and leaving
But it's too late to turn back now
Why did you go and make me love you
When I told you I don't know how
Time and again I showed you, baby
This is how I’m gonna roll
(Oh-yeah)
[Chorus]
Only fools, only fools leap before they look
Only fools, only fools play it by the book
Only fools crave the cover of the night
Only a fool's gonna get it right, getting over you
(Oh-yes)

What if we went all in from the start
Would I have died of a broken heart
Guess we'll never know 'cause I'll never show another man the woman
You think I am
(Only fools)

Only fools, only fools leap before they look
Only fools, only fools play it by the book

YOU'RE MY GRACELAND
[Verse 1]
Before I met you, I was just a man that was lonely as hell
I'd spend my nights drunk and high waking up at the heartbreak hotel
But then one day in the pouring rain I looked up and there was you
Wasn't looking for love but it hit me like a bull right out of the blue
I didn't know then
But thank God I know now
[Chorus]
Baby you're my Graceland
You're the only one that feels like home
When I was alone you pulled me in showed me love like I've never known
And I can't help falling
More and more for you every day
You made a king out of an ordinary man
Oh baby you're my Graceland
[Verse 2]
You took this withered heart and this weary mind and set my soul on fire
I can't get enough of your burning love and the flames keep getting on higher
Yeah I was a wreck
But now I'm blessed
[Chorus]
'Cause baby you're my Graceland
You're the only one that feels like home
When I was alone you pulled me in showed me love like I've never known
And I can't help falling
More and more for you every day
You made a king out of an ordinary man
[Bridge]
Oh baby you're my Graceland
Yeah you made a king out of an ordinary man
[Chorus]
Oh baby you're my Graceland
You're the only one that feels like home

IT COULDA BEEN WORSE
She took that cat
And my old Chevrolet
I don’t think that damn cat likes me anyway
I finally got that extra pillow
And more bedroom real estate
But there’s still a few things left
She forgot to take
Could have have been worse
but I don’t know how
I can’t imagine getting much lower then I feel now
A wise man once said
what you can’t get over go around
Could have been worse but I don’t know how
I still see our picture
in that empty space
I guess all that’s left of us
is a nicotine frame
I finally fixed that faucet
after all the times she complained
Guess I had to wait till she took
my whole world away
Could have have been worse
but I don’t know how
I can’t imagine getting much lower then I feel now
A wise man once said
what you can’t get over go around
Could have been worse but I don’t know how
The fire we had between us
burned all we had to the ground
When you left and knocked me off this Married go round
Could have have been worse
but I don’t know how
I can’t imagine getting much lower then I feel now
A wise man once said
what you can’t get over go around
Could have been worse but I don’t know how
Yeah it coulda bin worse
I don’t wanna know how. --- END ---

TRUCK WATCHING
[Intro]
(One, two, three, four)
[Chorus]
The sun goes down, yeah, we all roll up
Turn this parking lot into a party spot
Girls dolled up like a million bucks
But the guys only want to pick up
(Trucks!)
Chevs us to the left and the Fords to the right
We toss the cops to be out all night
So they caught Smitty’s Hemi at a traffic light
Looks like he’s walkin on home
Around here, they keep it tight
Just girls watching, guys watching
(Trucks!)
[Chorus]
Truck watching
Truck watching
There’s every kinda rig you’d ever want to see
Jacked up juiced up ten foot three
Bushwacker flares Black Rhino rims
Cummins Cat back gotta tell em where you’ve been
The girls they keep on tryin, but good ol boys keep on buyin
(Trucks!)
Chevs us to the left and the Fords to the right
We toss the cops to be out all night
So they caught Smitty’s Hemi at a traffic light
Looks like he’s walkin on home
Around here, they keep it tight
Just girls watching, guys watching

SMALL KISSES
[Verse 1]
Hey baby
What you doing?
Just caught a glimpse of the rose tattoo it's on the
Nape of your neck
Sexy as heck
I'm dying just to plant a few there for you I'm talking
[Chorus]
Small kisses that's the way I say I love you baby
Small kisses means big love for me and I
I can't find a better way to show I love you than with
Small kisses they just come naturally

These lips are made for walking
Take me a trip from your forehead girl
All the way from your lips to your toes your knees with stops in between just you and me underneath the sheets

Small kisses means big love for me and I
I can't find a better way to show I love you than with

I can't find a better way to show I love you than with

MY BEER COMMERCIAL LIFE
[Verse 1]
We're talking copper tone tan lines in the sea breeze
The sun is shining, it's a party day
Hot girls are tossing frosty cold ones can I yes please
Bros have got the grill on for steak
[Verse 2]
My only problem is I'm not invited
This party's playing on my TV
The frothy suds are getting me all excited
I can’t taste but I sure can see
[Chorus]
That beer commercial life
I want it
That beer commercial life
I need it
That beer commercial life
I want it
That beer commercial life
I need it
[Verse 3]
Can't seem to beat 'em so I think I better join 'em
Head out to Buck-ee's for Redneck champagne
Old Billy's got a beat up Dale Earnhardt cooler
Big Moose has got a tank of propane
[Verse 4]
Just one more thing that's missing from this mission
Daisy Duke's long legs and sweet perfume
A pontoon boat to hit the lake and take us fishing
Luke and Jelly blasting the Tunes
[Chorus]
That beer commercial life
I want it
That beer commercial life
I need it
That beer commercial life
I want it
That beer commercial life
I need it
[Verse 5]
Now in the blink of an eye Miss Geico’s telling me why
I might need her insurance
I said no thank you ma'am I'll just stay where I am
Tuned in for the next occurrence
[Chorus]
Of that beer commercial life
I want it
That beer commercial life
I need it
That beer commercial life
I want it
That beer commercial life
I need it, I need it, yeah, yeah --- END ---

Oh my, look at my my

To take her out on the town
We can cruise the strip or hit the drive-in
Maybe just roll around
Or any back road she wants to go
I'll gladly take her down
She's down to earth and loves the dirt
Like a rock in solid ground, yeah

Oh my, look at my my
Oh my, look at my my, oh my

Oh my, look at my baby
She's got a sparkle and shine
She shines as bright as a diamond
She's got that high-end fine
Yeah, she's mine, all mine, that's right
[Chorus]
Oh my, look at my my
Oh my, look at my my, oh my
Oh my, look at my my
Oh my, look at my baby
[Verse 2]
And since we got together
I introduced her to the fellas
They said, "Man, where'd you get her?"
"Damn, we're just so jealous"
I still remember the first time
I took her to meet my mom
She got all teary-eyed and Dad said, "You did good, son"
[Chorus]
Oh my, look at my my
Oh my, look at my my, oh my
Oh my, look at my my
Oh my, look at my baby
She's got a sparkle and shine
She shines so bright like a diamond
She's got that high-end fine
Yeah, she's mine, all mine
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
She's got brand new tires from Firestone
She's head to toe in chrome
She’s likes to drink unleaded
She’s a all mine when I pay the loan
[Chorus]
Oh my, look at my my
Oh my, look at my my, oh my
Oh my, look at my my
Oh my, look at my baby
She's got a sparkle and shine
She shines so bright like a diamond
She's got that high-end fine
Yeah, she's mine, all mine, that's right
[Outro]
Oh my, look at my my
Oh my, look at my my, oh my
Oh my, look at my my
Oh my, look at my baby

BAD LUCK NEVER HAD A CHANCE
[Verse 1]
Mama used to say make the best of every day
Don't let the blues get a hold on you
And when things don't go your way
Tomorrow's a brand new day
Good things come findin' out of you
[Chorus]
And when you least expect it
Old friends gonna come to call
Memories once neglected
Got me laughin' all night long
'Cause bad luck never had a chance
This old boy never knocked on wood
And those black cats, I don't believe in that
When it comes to love, it's all good
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna take my girl to Memphis
See where it all began
Take a stroll in the southern sunshine
Then we'll wind up in Graceland
I ain't gonna take no pictures
Ain't no need for luck
When you get right down to it, baby
All we need is love
[Chorus]
'Cause bad luck never had a chance
This old boy never knocked on wood
And those black cats, I don't believe in that
When it comes to love, it's all good
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
I never knew luck and love could be one and the same
It's gonna be all right
[Chorus]
'Cause bad luck never had a chance
This old boy never knocked on wood
'Cause those black cats, I don't believe in that
When it comes to love, it's all good
[Outro] --- END ---

DON'T LET YOUR LOVE SLIP AWAY
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
[Verse]
Don’t let your love slip away
Find loneliness here to stay
Now that you’re gone
And all alone
So you’ve got nothing
On your own
You thought you took the higher ground
She went and left without a sound
Now it’s the same every day
The boy, you sure did get your way
[Chorus]
Don’t let your love slip away
Don’t let your love slip away
Thats all you had and now she’s gone
But you were right and that’s what you got
Don’t let your love slip away
Don’t let your love slip away
Thats all you had and now she’s gone
But you were right and that’s what you got --- END ---

INSIGNIFICANT OTHERS
[Verse]
Tell me how we came to this place
Traversed time in some strange way
Did we lie to ourselves ?
Thinking it was forever
[Chorus]
So why if you only live one life
Why would you give it all away to please another?
Sometimes we try to change fools minds
Only to maintain our fates as star crossed lovers
Somehow to find ourselves as insignificant others
[Verse]
The road we have to face
Has long since been replaced
By one with more distance
More than ever, and ever
[Chorus]
So why if you only live one life
Why would you give it all away to please another?
Sometimes we try to change fools minds
Only to maintain our fates as star crossed lovers
Somehow to find ourselves as insignificant others --- END ---

DOUBLE WIDE SMILE
[Verse 1]
I drive a truck
Five days a week
And it doesn't matter where I am
Where I'm gonna be
I've got a purpose
Lot 29
At the Shenandoah trailer park
On the Indiana line
Whether I'm hauling hogs
Hauling logs
Hauling anything at all
There's just one place that I long to be
[Chorus]
At the end of the week when the driving is done
Got my lazy boy sitting out there in the sun
Got my too pretty wife got my two little ones
And that’s gotta a double wide smile spread
Across my face
[Verse 2]
Now it ain't the Taj Mahal
But it can go anywhere I want
And those pink flamingos that she won at bingo
Really classy up the place
But What I love most of all
Is those folks and the friends we call
At the Shenandoah trailer park 'round the Indiana line
And even though the place is small
We’re livin large
What else could this trucker want
There's just one place that I long to be
[Chorus]
At the end of the week when the driving is done
Got my lazy boy sitting out in the sun
With my too pretty wife got my two little ones
And that’s gotta a double wide smile spread
Across my face
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
At the end of the week when the driving is done
Got my lazy boy sitting out in the sun
With my too pretty wife got my two little ones
And that’s gotta a double wide smile spread
Across my face --- END ---

WHEN YOU FIND WHAT YOUR RUNNING FROM BABY
[Intro]
(One, two, three, four)
[Verse 1]
You sing a lie, you shine a light
And then you tell them what you want to say
You gain a life, you cannot lie
And then down, down, down, down, down, down
[Chorus]
But if find what you’re running from baby
Oh, let me be on the side of no one
Cause I'm already on the run
[Verse 2]
You gain a life, you cannot lie
You shine a light and then down, down, down, down, down, down
And then down, down, down, down, down, down
And then down, down, down, down, down, down
[Chorus]
But if you find what you’re running from baby
Oh, you let me on when someone finds me
But I'm already on the run
[Outro]
To where you find me --- END ---

EVERY TIME AN ANGEL SMILES
[Verse 1]
I know the good Lord's watching
And he's seen the way I've lived
So when it comes to heaven, the odds are pretty slim
I'm getting in
But lucky for me, I found you
And baby, here's the thing
Every time an angel smiles, a good old boy gets his wings
[Chorus]
I want to wake up every morning
Try and put one on your face
So you can take on anything that comes your way
Every day
And in the evening, girl, when you get back home
I'll keep doing the same thing
Yeah, 'cause every time an angel smiles, a good old boy gets his wings
[Verse 2]
You're heaven-sent and I'm helping on loving you
Just loving you
I don't know why a simple guy got everything
But girl, I do
Oh, I pray we got a long life
Of loving through this world
But when we've seen our last days, I know just where you're headed, girl
Somehow I'll be there beside you
Oh, yes, some things never change
[Chorus]
Every time an angel smiles, a good old boy gets his wings
[Outro]
You're heaven-sent and I'm helping on loving you
Just loving you
I don't know why a simple guy got everything
But girl, I do
I know heaven's watching
But baby, here's the thing
Every time an angel smiles, a good old boy gets his wings --- END ---

AIN'T NOTHIN THAT A LITTLE BIT OF WHISKEY CAN'T FIX
[Verse 1]
Wouldn't it be nice
If my numbers came up
I'd roll on down to Vegas
Spend a couple nights with
Lady Luck
I could waste my days
On a white sandy beach
Cool drink in my hand
Sitting next to a sweet Georgia peach
[Pre-Chorus]
But that ain't my reality still
Life's been pretty damn good to me
And if the small stuff ever gets me down
[Chorus]
There ain't nothing that a little bit of whiskey can't fix
on a Friday night with friends like this
Down a few shots man this week
Is gonna be fading
[Chorus]
Load 'em up at the bar, play my favorite song
Talk to pretty girls all night long
On a night like tonight, man, I can tell you this
There ain't nothing that a little bit of whiskey can't fix
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I don't feel right
Just to work all week
Got to waste my nights
Catching up on my sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
But man, that's just reality still
Life's been pretty damn good to me
And if the small stuff ever gets me down
[Chorus]
There ain't nothing that a little bit of whiskey can't fix
on a Friday night with friends like this
Down a few shots man this week
Is gonna be fading
[Chorus]
Load 'em up at the bar, play a favorite song
Talk to pretty girls all night long
On a night like tonight, man, I can tell you this
There ain't nothing that a little bit of whiskey can't fix
[Bridge]
When I look around, I can see
Life's been pretty damn good to me
And if the small stuff ever gets me down
[Chorus]
There ain't nothing that a little bit of whiskey can't fix
on a Friday night with friends like this
Down a few shots man this week
Is gonna be fading
[Chorus]
Load 'em up at the bar, play a favorite song
Talk to pretty girls all night long
On a night like tonight, man, I can tell you this
There ain't nothing that a little bit of whiskey can't fix --- END ---

ONLY IF YOU TAKE MY NAME
[Verse 1]
The world keeps on turning and the lives that we lead
Keep on burning like so many candles in the wind
We're always searching and the search can sometimes
Lead to one thing another candle burning in the wind
And that's where true love begins
[Chorus]
Call it a bolt from the blue or love at first sight
An online fling that turned out right or the only one for you since the seventh grade
We've got one chance to live a lifetime together
It's only you and only forever I'll stake that claim
Only if you take my name
(Yeah) (Yeah)
[Verse 2]
When I first saw you I was only into
Tearing little pieces of the world for myself
But we've got the real thing and it's you that's given my life meaning
Knowing we will stand the test of time
A true love so hard to find
[Chorus]
Call it a bolt from the blue or love at first sight
An online fling that turned out right or the only one for you since the seventh grade
We've got one chance to live a lifetime together
It's only you and only forever I'll stake that claim
Only if you take my name
(Yeah) (Yeah)
[Bridge]
(Yeah)
Whatever time that’s been laid out is our path
All the best years of my life I'll share with you
[Chorus]
Call it a bolt from the blue or love at first sight
An online fling that turned out right or the only one for you since the seventh grade
We've got one chance to live a lifetime together
It's only you and only forever I'll stake that claim
Only if you take my name
(Yeah) (Yeah) --- END ---

TELL ME LIES
[Verse 1]
Go ahead and look in my eyes
Tell me lies, yeah, tell me lies, yeah
thought you worked it out by now
That’s just not how it’s gonna go down
Now feel the heat rising in my chest
There's a round knot tight it won’t let me rest,
I'll give you all you want, all right
If I tell you all this, are you gonna take flight?
[Chorus]
Tell me lies
Tell me lies
Go ahead and tell me lies
[Verse 2]
Screaming like a freight train
Stuck in my head just a wall of red
just a wall of red yeah
Thinking you could get the better of me
Thinking I cant see when a fool can see
You cant do a southern man like that
No you just cant do any man like that
[Chorus]
Tell me lies
Tell me lies
Go ahead and tell me lies
[Solo]
[Outro]
Tell me lies
Tell me lies
Go ahead and tell me lies --- END ---

NOTHING BUT SUNSHINE
Nothing but sunshine
Shines every day
Nothing but blue skies
No rainy days
[Chorus]
You can't wait to see the one you're dreaming of
You're the one he wants
Nothing but sunshine shines on our love
[Verse 2]
Nothing can break you
Keep the faith
Keep those blue skies
Long summer days

You can't wait to see the one you're dreaming of
You're the one he wants
Nothing but sunshine shines on our love

WRITE OUR OWN LOVE SONG
[Verse 1]
Girl, our life is like a Hollywood movie
With a country music soundtrack
In the truck, in the bar, wherever we are
I hear banjos or fiddles or steel guitar
But when we're all alone and we're kissing
It feels like something's missing
[Chorus]
Yeah, we got Brooks and Dunn for stepping out on the floor
When you wanna get drunk, we can listen to George
But honey, when we get behind closed doors
We can write our own love song
There's old Hank and Burn when you feel like crying
And nothing like Willie when you're getting high
But when it's just you and me in the middle of the night
We can write our own love song
We can write our own love song
[Verse 2]
There's a thousand country love songs
But they'll never capture you, girl
'Cause those writers down in Tennessee
Don't know how it feels when you're touching me
In the silence, when time's frozen
And love is what we're composing
[Chorus]
Yeah, we got Brooks and Dunn for stepping out on the floor
When you wanna get drunk, we can listen to George
But honey, when we get behind closed doors
We can write our own love song
There's old Hank and Burn when you feel like crying
And nothing like Willie when you're getting high
But when it's just you and me in the middle of the night
We can write our own love song
We can write our own love song
[Bridge]
It will never be a hit on the radio
But that's fine, it'll always be yours and mine
[Chorus]
Yeah, we got Brooks and Dunn for stepping out on the floor
When you wanna get drunk, we can listen to George
But honey, when we get behind closed doors
We can write our own love song
There's old Hank and Burn when you feel like crying
And nothing like Willie when you're getting high
But when it's just you and me in the middle of the night
We can write our own love song
We can write our own love song
[Outro]
We can write our own love song --- END ---

IT'S ALREADY JUNE
[Verse 1]
Girl I tried to be patient
And let you decide
But I can't keep on waiting
For you to make up your mind
You say that you love me
That I'm the one you want
But it appears another year
Has already halfway gone
[Chorus]
I'm not into ultimatums
Girl we got us a situation
Let's stop the hesitating
Let's get married
I wanna be your lifetime lover
Girl we ain't getting any younger
Please say I do
'Cause it's already June
[Verse 2]
We could be leaving that old chapel
With our friends all throwing rice
I could see us honeymooning
Under a tropical sky
Girl I know this is a really
Really big decision to be making
So please say yes 'cause I think it's best
My heart's not built for breaking
[Chorus]
I'm not into ultimatums
Girl we got us a situation
Let's stop the hesitating
Let's get married
I wanna be your lifetime lover
Girl we ain't getting any younger
Please say I do
'Cause it's already June
[Bridge]
You're all this cowboy's ever gonna need
My heart's on my sleeve
And I'm down on one knee
[Chorus]
I'm not into ultimatums
Girl we got us a situation
Let's stop the hesitating
Let's get married
I wanna be your lifetime lover
Girl we ain't getting any younger
Please say I do
'Cause it's already June
[Outro]
Girl let's say I do
'Cause it's already June --- END ---
