Brad Paisley - Whiskey Lullaby with Alison Krauss

Brad:
She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette.
She broke his heart: He spent his whole life trying to forget.
We watched him drink his pain away, a little at a time,
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind,
Until the night,
Brad and Alison:
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger.
And finally drank away her memory.
Life is short, but this time it was bigger,
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees.
We found him with his face down in the pillow,
With a note that said: "I'll love her till I die."
And when we buried him beneath the willow,
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby.
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la,

Alison:
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself.
For years and years, she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath.
She finally drank her pain away, a little at a time.
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind.
Until the night,
Alison and Brad:
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger.
And finally drank away his memory.
Life is short, but this time it was bigger,
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees.
We found her with her face down in the pillow,
Clinging to his picture for dear life.
We laid her next to him beneath the willow,
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby.
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la.

La la la la la la la la...La la la la la la laaaa...

Brad Paisley - She's Everything

She's a yellow pair of running shoes
A holey pair of jeans
She looks great in cheap sunglasses
She looks great in anything
She's I want a piece of chocolate
Take me to a movie
She's I can't find a thing to wear
Now and then she's moody

She's a Saturn with a sunroof
With her brown hair a-blowin
She's a soft place to land
And a good feeling knowing
She's a warm conversation
That I wouldn't miss for nothing
She's a fighter when she's mad
And she's a lover when she's loving

[Chorus]
And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
I talk about her, I go on and on and on
because she's everything to me

She's a Saturday out on the town
And a church girl on Sunday
She's a cross around her neck
And a cuss word 'cause its Monday
She's a bubble bath and candles
Baby come and kiss me
She's a one glass of wine
And she's feeling kinda tipsy

She's the giver I wish I could be
And the stealer of the covers
She's a picture in my wallet
Of my unborn children's mother
She's the hand that I'm holding
When I'm on my knees and praying
She's the answer to my prayer
And she's the song that I'm playing

[Repeat chorus]

She's the voice I love to hear
Someday when I'm ninety
She's that wooden rocking chair
I want rocking right beside me
Everyday that passes
I only love her more
Yeah, she's the one
That I'd lay down my own life for

And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
She's everything to me
Yeah she's everything to me

Everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
She's everything to me
Yeah shes everything to me
everything to me

Brad Paisley - Long Sermon

They've read the scripture, they've passed the plate
And we're both prayin' he don't preach late
But he's gettin' "Amens," and that's just our luck
Yeah, it's eighty-five degrees outside and he's just gettin' warmed up

Chorus
Oh you and me, we could be soakin' up that sun
Findin' out just how fast your brother's boat'll run
I tell you there ain't nothin' that'll test your faith
Like a long sermon on a pretty Sunday

Well it's been rainin' all week long
I woke up this mornin', the dark clouds were gone
We've both been raised not to miss church
But on a day like today heaven knows how much it hurts

Chorus

See that sunlight shinin' through that stained glass
How much longer is this gonna last

Chorus

Brad Paisley - I'll Take You Back

When a freight train jumps off a track
And rolls down my road
And its summer time in Texas
And they're playing in the snow
When politicians everywhere stop telling lies
And only state the facts
Right then, that's when
I'll take you back

Let's say I get bucked off a bull and fall and hit my head
And then I get amnesia and forget the things you said
I lose my better judgment and I take up smoking crack
Right then, that's when
I'll take you back

[Chorus]
Go on keep trying
Come on keep calling
You know I like it
When you come crawling
It’s like music
To hear you bawling
Waa, waa, waa, waa, waa

When Donald Trump takes a part time job parking cars
When Clint Eastwood does ballet in a big pink leotard
And a donkey wins the Derby as he takes his victory lap
Right then, that's when
I'll take you back

[Repeat chorus]

The day that old morning sun rises in the west
And they pass a law in L.A. banning artificial breasts
When cars can run on water, gasoline and oil ain't worth jack
Right then, that's when
I'll take you back

Go on, keep trying
Come on, keep calling
You know I like it
When you come crawling
It's like music
To hear you squalling
Waa, waa, waa, waa, waa

It’s like music
To hear you bawling
Waa, waa, waa, waa, waa

Brad Paisley - I'm Gonna Miss Her

Well I love her but I love to fish
I spend all day out on this lake and hell is all I catch
Today she met me at the door said I would have to choose
If I hit that fishin' hole today she'd be packin' all her things
And she'd be gone by noon

Well I'm gonna miss her when I get home
But right now I'm on this lakeshore and I'm sittin' in the sun
I'm sure it'll hit me when I walk through that door tonight
Yeah I'm gonna miss her oh looky there I've got a bite
[ guitar - steel ]
Now there's a chance that if I hurry I could beg her to stay
But that water's right and the weather's perfect
No tellin' what I might catch today

So I'm gonna miss her...When i get home
Right now I'm on this lakeshore and I'm Sittin' in the sun
I'm sure it'll hit me, When i walk through that door tonight
Yeah I'm gonna miss her oh looky there another bite

Yeah I'm gonna miss her oh looky there I've got a bite

Brad Paisley - He didn't have to be

When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new
It always winds up being more like a job interview
My momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone
Who wouldn't find out about me and then turn around and run

I met the man I call my dad when I was five years old
He took my mom out to a movie and for once I got to go
A few months later I remember lying there in bed
I overheard him pop the question and prayed that she'd say yes

And then all of a sudden
Oh, it seemed so strange to me
How we went from something's missing
To a family
Lookin' back all I can say
About all the things he did for me
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad
That he didn't have to be

I met the girl that's now my wife about three years ago
We had the perfect marriage but we wanted somethin' more
Now here I stand surrounded by our family and friends
Crowded 'round the nursery window as they bring the baby in

And now all of a sudden
It seemed so strange to me
How we've gone from something's missing
To a family
Lookin' through the glass I think about the man
That's standin' next to me
And I hope I'm at least half the dad
That he didn't have to be

Lookin' back all I can say
About all the things he did for me
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad
That he didn't have to be

Yeah, I hope I'm at least half the dad
That he didn't have to be
Because he didn't have to be
You know he didn't have to be

Brad Paisley - Ain't Nothin' Like

I like kickin' back on the sofa
Flippin' through the channels just to see what's on
I enjoy eatin' eggs over easy
Soppin' up with a biscuit 'til the yellow's gone

Chorus
Ain't nothin' like watchin' a bunch of young'ns
Run screamin' through the sprinkler in their little bare feet
And ain't nothin' like finding twenty dollars
In the pocket of the britches that you wore last week

I get into getting out on my mower
In the early mornin' hours 'fore the sun gets hot
And I like goin' down to the Kroger
When the carnival comes to the parkin' lot

2nd Chorus
Ain't nothin' like throwing a hula popper
Draggin' it across a spot a big 'un oughta be
And ain't nothin' like having him for supper
With some good hush puppies and some sweet iced tea

Bridge
This old world HOLDS ALL KINDS OF TREASURES
AND EVERYDAY, IT JUST KEEPS GETTIN' better

3rd Chorus
Ain't nothin' like finding that woman
That you know you're gonna love for the rest of your life
And ain't nothin' like knowing the Lord's a comin'
Back one day to make you want to do it right

Repeat 1st chorus

Repeat 2nd chorus

Who are you when I'm not looking

My oh my, you're so good-looking
Hold yourself together like a pair of bookends
But I've not tasted all your cooking
Who are you when I'm not looking?

Do you pour a little something on the rocks?
Slide down the hallway in your socks?
When you undress, do you leave a path?
Then sink to your nose in a bubble bath?

My oh my, you're so good-looking
Hold yourself together like a pair of bookends
But I've not tasted all your cooking
Who are you when I'm not looking?

I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know

Do you break things when you get mad?
Eat a box of chocolates 'cause you're feelin' bad?
Do you paint your toes 'cause you bite your nails?
Call up momma when all else fails?

Who are you when I'm not around?
When the door is locked and the shades are down?
Do you listen to your music quietly?
And when it feels just right, are you thinkin' of me?

I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know

My oh my, you're so good-looking
But who are you when I'm not looking?

Blake Shelton - All about tonight

You made up your mind
It was time it was over
After we had come so far
But I think there's
Enough pieces of forgiveness
Somewhere in my broken heart.

I would not have chosen
The road you have taken
It has left us miles apart
But I think I can still find
The will to keep going
Somewhere in my broken heart

So fly, go ahead and fly
Till you find out who you are
And I, I will keep my love unspoken
Somewhere in my broken heart

I hope that in time you will find
What you long for
Love that's written in the stars
And when you finally do
I think you will see it's
Somewhere in my broken heart

Girl I, I will keep my love unspoken
Somewhere in my broken heart
I hope that in time you will find
what you long for
Love that's written in the stars
And when you finally do
I think you will see it's
Somewhere in my broken
Somewhere in my broken
Somewhere in my broken heart.

Billy Dean - Somewhere in my broken heart

You made up your mind
It was time it was over
After we had come so far
But I think there's
Enough pieces of forgiveness
Somewhere in my broken heart.

I would not have chosen
The road you have taken
It has left us miles apart
But I think I can still find
The will to keep going
Somewhere in my broken heart

So fly, go ahead and fly
Till you find out who you are
And I, I will keep my love unspoken
Somewhere in my broken heart

I hope that in time you will find
What you long for
Love that's written in the stars
And when you finally do
I think you will see it's
Somewhere in my broken heart

Girl I, I will keep my love unspoken
Somewhere in my broken heart
I hope that in time you will find
what you long for
Love that's written in the stars
And when you finally do
I think you will see it's
Somewhere in my broken
Somewhere in my broken
Somewhere in my broken heart.

Alison Krauss - Let me touch you for awhile

Its been a long time comming
As you shed a lonesome tear
And now you're in a wonderama,
I wonder what you're doin' here.

The flame no longer flickers,
You're feeling just like a fool.
You keep starin' into your liquor,
Wonderin' what to do.

I don't hardly know you,
But I'd be willin' to show you,
*I know* a way to make you smile!
Let me touch you for awhile.

I'm gonna ruin my black mascara.
You're drinkin whiskey when it should be wine.
You keep a-lookin' into that mirror.
But to me you're lookin' really fine.

I don't hardly know you,
But I'd be willin' to show you,
I know a way to make you,
Laugh at that cowgirl as she's walkin' out your door.
I know a way to make you smile.

Just let me whisper things,
You've never heard before.
Just let me touch you, baby.
Just let me touch you for awhile.

I don't hardly know you,
But I'd be willin' to show you,
I know a way to make you smile.

It's been a long time,
Let me touch you for awhile.

Alison Krauss - Goodbye is all we have

I'm soaring the sky, I can hear the birds
and man they don't lie
How you gonna catch me, when I'm this high

I'm moving on
I got the words to a brand new song
How you gonna catch me, when I'm this gone

[Chorus:]
Gone tomorrow here today
Just in case you got somethin' to say
I'll be leaving with the rest if
Goodbye is all we have

I disconnected the phone
Told the neighbors I'll be heading on
As soon as the light hits the lawn

I'm heading north
Gonna see what this heart's really worth
I guess it's time to be on my own

[Chorus]

I sure would love to see you tonight
Maybe try to end this fight
If I don't hear you knockin' on my door
Then I'll know for sure

[Chorus]

Alison Krauss - Baby, now that i've found you

Baby, now that I've found you
I won't let you go
I built my world around you
I need you so,
baby even though
You don't need me
now

Baby, now that I've found you
I won't let you go
I built my world around you
I need you so
Baby even though
You don't need me,
You don't need me no, no

Baby, baby,when first we met
I knew in this heart of mine
That you were someone I couldn't forget.
I said right,
and I bide my time

Spent my life looking
for that somebody
to make me feel like you
Now you tell me that you want to leave me
But darling, I just can't let you

[guitar & fiddle solo]

Baby, baby,
when first we met
I knew in this heart of mine
That you were someone I couldn't forget.
I said right,
and I bide my time

Spent my life looking
for that somebody
to make me feel like you
Now you tell me that you want to leave me
But darling, I just can't let you

(Now that I found you)
I built my world around you
I need you so, baby even though
You don't need me now

Baby, now that I've found you
I won't let you go
I built my world around you
I need you so
Baby even though
You don't need me
You don't need me no, no

Alan Jackson - Angels cried

They came from near, they came from far
Following a distant star to where he'd lay
Not being sure of what it meant
But knowing it was heaven sent, they made their way

And the creatures gathered round
And didn't make a sound and the angels cried

The angels knew what was to come
The reason God had sent His Son from up above
It filled their hearts with joy to see
And knowing of His destiny, came tears of love

And the creatures gathered round
And didn't make a sound and the angels cried

I've often thought about that night
And wondered if they realized that star so bright
Was sent to tell all the land
The Son of God would soon become the Son of Man

And the creatures gathered round
And didn't make a sound and the angels cried
And the angels cried
And the angels cried

Alan Jackson - After 17

Her right hand closed the front porch door
Suddenly a child no more
All the ribbons all the bows in a box now on her closet floor
Anxious for whats to come
Afraid to leave a place she loves

Shes not a woman not a girl
Trying to find her place in this crazy world
Meet a lover make a friend
Try and figure out what this life really means
After 17

Broken hearts and rusted dreams
Sometimes make it hard to leave and
Certainty is out of reach even with some self belief
So she bites her lip and shows a smile
Flips her hair and flaunts her style

Shes not a woman not a girl
Trying to find her place in this crazy world
Meet a lover make a friend
Try and figure out what this life really means
After 17

Her memories she stowed away
Pulls them out on rainy days
And brand new faces take their place beside the ones that never fade
Shes strong and fragile, weak and smart
Whatever the cost she plays the part

Shes not a woman not a girl
Trying to find her place in this crazy world
Meet a lover make a friend
Try and figure out what this life really means
After 17

Her right hand closed the front porch door
And suddenly a child no more.

Alan Jackson - 1976

Rockie burned up the movie screen and I was turnin seventeen
Tie-dyed shirts and Levis jean, lookin cool at the Dairy Queen
Tryin to impress a young woman in her Sunday dress

And that was 1976, didnt know who I was yet
A pretty little blonde haired girl stole my heart and changed my world
Two kids and a moonlit sky, a little love on a Friday night
Built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976

My high school days I packed away, set my sights on a bigger stage
Jimmy Carter moved to DC, a Georgia boy just like me, life seemed easy
Nothin much that we needed

That was 1976, didnt know who I was yet
A pretty little blonde haired girl stole my heart and changed my world
Two kids and a moonlit sky, a little love on a Friday night
Built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976

[Instrumental Interlude]

Eight track tapes were still in style and Elvis was still alive
Wonder Woman sure looked fine, Bionic Man was still Prime Time
And that girl I liked, we kept on tryin till we got it right

And that was 1976, didnt know who I was yet
A pretty little blonde haired girl stole my heart and changed my world
Two kids and a moonlit sky, a little love on a Friday night
Built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976

Yeah, that was 1976, didnt know who we were yet
Built a fire that just wont quit and that was 1976

We built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976

Stealing Angels - He better be dead

I’ve texted him twenty one times

And still my phone don’t ring

And my wild imagination son is
Makin’ up scary things…makin’ up scary things

No one shares a kiss like that
And then just doesn’t call
Last night he promised me the world
And now I’m gettin’ nothing at all!

He better be dead
His house burnt down to the ground
He better have two wheels hangin’ off a crumblin’ cliff
Way I'm feelin' now
I'm swearin' his head
Better be pressed up against a gun
After all the things we've said

If he still ain’t called by now

He better be dead

I don’t like being done like them
That just aint my style
Little boys playin games
You know they really get me wrong
You know they really get me wrong

If I weren’t getting madder by the minute
Then I’d be worried sick
I know he knows im callin’
So what the hell is it

He better be dead

His house burnt down to the ground
He better have two wheels hangin’ off a crumblin’ cliff
Way I'm feelin' now
I'm swearin his head
Better be pressed up against a gun
After all the things we've said
If he still ain’t called by now

He better be dead as a door nail
Cold as a stone
Flat on a train tracks
Whaoooooo
Traced on the floor
Stiff as a board
Knock knock knockin’ on heavens door

He better be dead
His house burnt down to the ground
He better have two wheels hangin’ off a crumblin’ cliff
Way I'm feelin' now
I'm swearin his head
Better be pressed up against a gun
After all the things we've said
If he still ain’t called by now

He better be tied to a motel bed
Hand cuffed, gagged, and bound
He better be dead

That boy better be dead

I’ve texted him twenty two times
And still my phone don’t ring
