Brantley Gilbert - Back in the day

Mamma, she's still got that picture
Of me and Katie on homecomin' night
She looked pretty in that fancy dress
But that girl was a barefoot blue jean princess

A hand full of rocks and daddy's pine ladder
Sure did come in handy
For a teenage boy thinkin' all that mattered
Was a kiss that taste like candy

Back in the day we were wild and free
She was my dashboard drummer
Butterflies in the backseat
Little footprints on my window
Parkin' my Chevy by the riverside
And four letters in a heart carved in a pine
A little sun dress layin up there on the bank
While the water washed our innocence away
Back in the day

Friday nights I'd look up there in the bleachers
And I can see her,
with my letter man's jacket on
And I still got this scar here on my right hand
From when Bobby told her she deserved a better man

Aw.. She hung right with me down in panama city
Raisin' hell on our senior trip
and man ain't it funny
it gets the best of me
And I just can't forget
I just can't forget

Back in the day we were wild and free
She was my dashboard drummer
Butterflies in the backseat
Little footprints on my window
Parkin' my Chevy by the riverside
And four letters in a heart carved in a pine
A little sun dress layin up there on the bank
While the water washed our innocence away
Back in the day

Summer was over
College was callin' man I had to watch her leave
But I still wonder if she ever thinks of me

'Cause back in the day we were wild and free
She was my dashboard drummer
Butterflies in the backseat
Little footprints on my window
Parkin' my Chevy by the riverside
And four letters in a heart carved in a pine
A little sun dress layin up there on the bank
While the water washed our innocence away
Feels like yesterday
Back in the day
Back in the day

Brantley Gilbert - A modern day prodigal son

I set out one night in the fast lane bound for freedom
In a truck that daddy bought me
And money mom had saved for school

I laid down all my books and picked up the drinking
Hell I let 'em down
When I gave up like a fool

And one reckless night just lookin' for my whiskey
I found a bible mama gave me and read a while
I read a story 'bout a man who lived just like me
Then finally ate his pride and came runnin' home

And lord I'm a renegade, a rambler
I've squandered all I've owned
A bonified runaway, I'm a gambler
Can't count the lies I've told
And I need redemption, how 'bout forgiveness
And I pray for open arms, and be with me lord
'Cause I'm comin' home, like a modern day prodigal son

I had all of my things packed by early mornin'
I left that bottle I'd lost right there on the bathroom floor
I stopped at a payphone and called back home to mama
Yeh she might not even talk after all I've done

The phone rang twice before I got an answer
And mama nearly dropped the phone when she heard me say
I said mama it's your son and will yall have me
She said son you know I've longed for this day

[Chorus 2x]

Clay Walker - Everydody needs love

In L.A. they love their cars
Their muscles and their martini bars
They love to tan, they love their Gucci
Their Ray-Ban shades and eatin' sushi

Over in Texas they love the cowboys
From the big city bankers to the plowboys
They love their Ribeyes, and ropin' steers
Shootin' Jose Tequila and long neck beers

World's apart for worse or for better
The one thing that brings us together is

Everybody wants love, love, love
Everybody wants love
Everybody needs love, love, love
Everybody needs love

Over in Nashville they love their country
Eatin' biscuits and gravy on Sunday
They love the Opry and George Jones
Crankin' Sweet Home Alabama and The Rolling Stones

New York, New York big as it gets
They like to fight between the Yankees and the Mets
Down the South they love their football
The Bulldogs and the Longhorns and the Tennessee Vols

World's apart for worse or for better
The one thing that brings us together is

Everybody wants love, love, love
Everybody wants love
Yeah everybody needs love, love, love
Everybody needs love

It makes this whole world turn 'round

'Cause everybody wants love, love, love
Everybody wants love
Yeah, won't you give me some love, love, love?
Everybody needs love

Everybody wants love, love, love
Everybody wants love
Oh yeah, don't you know we need love, love, love?
Yeah everybody needs love

Clay Walker - Country boy and city girl

Now I'm not the kind to take things for granted
A simple mind and two strong working hands
But right at the time I thought my feet were planted
You came along and uprooted this simple man

A strong-willed woman with every chance to show it
But I didn't mind 'cause you made my life worthwhile
A beautiful woman with every reason to know it
You liked my courage and honey, I sure liked your style

A country boy and city girl, makin' life in this old world
We went against the grain and against all odds
It don't matter what they say, I'm gonna love you anyway
And time won't undo what you've gone and done to my heart

Well, I always thought we'd stay together
And I still think about you from time to time
But I should have known nothing lasts forever
But I'd never be the one to say goodbye and I remember

A country boy and city girl makin' life in this old world
We went against the grain and against all odds
It don't matter what they say, I'm gonna love you anyway
And time won't undo what you've gone and done to my heart
And oh, honey time cannot do what you've gone and done to my heart

Clay Walker - Coming back again

I was breathin' but Lord I was barely alive
Findin' reasons for losin' the will to survive
I pushed the heart far beyond what it could take
Sometimes something's gotta break

Now it's alright, I think I see a light there up ahead
Yeah, it's alright, I think I've finally risen from the dead
The fire inside of me was gone like the wind
Now it's stirrin' within
It's coming back again

Down in the ashes of a light that I let bury me
One hand pullin' me under, and another tryin' to set me free
In the struggle, I know I lost my way
Somehow I never lost my faith

Now it's alright, I think I see a light there up ahead
Yeah, it's alright, I think I've finally risen from the dead
The fire inside of me was gone like the wind
Now it's stirrin' within
It's coming back again

Sometimes you stumble over steps you never take
Sometimes you learn from your mistakes

Now it's alright, I think I see a light there up ahead
Yeah, now it's alright, I think I've finally risen from the dead
The fire inside of me was gone like the wind
But now it's stirrin' within
It's coming back again
It's coming back again

Clay Walker - Cold hearted

Everything I touch turns to ashes
So I wouldn't dare lay a hand on you
I've never had much luck with passion
But I can tell you're wantin' me too

Everytime you look my way I shiver
I'm havin' a hard time keepin' my cool
I see the message your eyes deliver
Or is it just the smoke in the room

I feel the heat
It's gettin' harder and harder to breathe
I feel the sweat
Rollin' down the nape of my neck
You're burnin' me up
Just look at this ragin' fire you started
Don't stop now
Baby you're cold hearted

Well I've always been a little bit reckless
Oh and now here I am playin' with fire
With every sweet kiss from your red lips
You make my temperature rise

I feel the heat
It's gettin' harder and harder to breathe
I feel the sweat
Rollin' down the nape of my neck
You're burnin' me up
Just look at this ragin' fire you started
Don't stop now
Baby that's cold hearted

I feel the heat
It's gettin' harder and harder to breathe
I feel the sweat
Rollin' down the nape of my neck
Oh you're burnin' me up
Oh look at this ragin' fire you started
Don't stop now
Baby that's cold hearted

Clay Walker - Boogie till the cows come home

There's a wood stove in the corner
There's saw dust on the floor
They've got a flashing neon lone star sign
Hangin' by the door
All they sell is beer and setups
So you'll have to bring your own
But when they play that swing it only means one thing
You're gonna boogie till the cows come home

'Faded Love' and 'Milk Cow Blues'
'The Oklahoma Stomp' and 'Born to lose'
Tip your hat to the 'Rose of San Antone'
Here we go with the 'Cotton Eyed Joe'
We're gonna boogie till the cows come home

It's an old Southwest tradition
And a guaranteed good time
And there's people of all ages here
From one to ninety-nine
Even if you show up by yourself
You don't have to be alone
'Cause when they play that swing it only means one thing
You're gonna boogie till the cows come home

'Faded Love' and 'Milk Cow Blues'
'The Oklahoma Stomp' and 'Born to lose'
Tip your hat to the 'Rose of San Antone'
Here we go with the 'Cotton Eyed Joe'
We're gonna boogie till the cows come home

'Faded Love' and 'Milk Cow Blues'
'The Oklahoma Stomp' and 'Born to lose'
Tip your hat to the 'Rose of San Antone'
Here we go with the 'Cotton Eyed Joe'
We're gonna boogie till the cows come home

'Faded Love' and 'Milk Cow Blues'
'The Oklahoma Stomp' and 'Born to lose'
Tip your hat to the 'Rose of San Antone'
Here we go with the 'Cotton Eyed Joe'
We're gonna boogie till the cows come home

Here we go with the 'Cotton Eyed Joe'
We're gonna boogie till the cows come home

Clay Walker - Before the next teardrop falls

If he brings you happiness
Then I wish you both the best
It's your happiness that matters most of all
But if he ever breaks your heart
If the teardrops ever start
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls

Si te quire de verdad
Y te da felicidad
Te deseo lo mas bueno pa' los dos
Pero si te hace llorar
A mi me puedes hablar
Y estare contigo cuando triste estas

I'll be there anytime
You need me by your side
To drive away every teardrop that you cried
And if he ever leaves you blue
Just remember, I love you
And I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
And I'll be there before the next teardrop falls

Clay Walker - Average Joe

I don't mind working
I don't mind drinking
when I need to unwind
And I like listening to a
country song on a Friday night

I'm a welder in the shop downtown
the dry waller in your brand new house
Yeah I'm your Average Joe
I'm the guy that fixed your van
I'm the painter I'm your concrete man
Yeah I'm your Average Joe

I've got brothers
And I've got sisters
Fighting hard for me and you
Yeah I got a mother and she's been praying
They'll all be coming home real soon

I'm the lightening in the pouring rain
I drive the diesel in the other lane
Yeah I'm your Average Joe
I wax the floors in the grocery store
Drop off the boxes at your front door
Yeah I'm your Average Joe

Never made a ton of money
Just enough to get us by
But the things that make me rich
Is this woman and these kids of mine

You know you run into me everywhere
You need a hand I'm gonna be right there
I'm your Average Joe
I love my country and being free
Yeah there're millions of you just like me
Cuz I'm your Average Joe
Yeah I'm your Average Joe

Clay Walker - A few questions

How in this world can we put a man on the moon
And still have a need for a place like St. Jude's
And why is one man born in a place where all they know is war
And a guy like me has always been free
And how can two people who've built a loving home
Try for years and never have a child of their own
And somewhere out there tonight there's a baby no one's holding tight
In need of love, to me that don't add up

But I wasn't there the day you filled up the oceans
I didnt' get to see you hang the stars in the sky
So I don't mean to second guess you or criticize what I don't understand
These are just a few questions I have

And why did my cousin have to die in that crash
A good kid only 17, I still wonder about that
It seems unfair to me some get the chance to chase their dreams
And some don't, but what do I know?

I wasn't there the day you filled up the oceans
I didnt' get to see you hang the stars in the sky
So I don't mean to second guess you or criticize what I don't understand
These are just a few questions I have

Why do I feel like you're hearing these prayers of mine
When so many outta be ahead of me in line
When you look down on me, can you see the good through all the bad
These are just a few questions I have

Clay Walker - A cowboy's toughest ride

See that cowboy at the bar
The one at the end with all the scars
He got stomped by the meanest bronc in Santa Fe
But if he looks a little down and out
It ain't that bronc he's thinking about
It's that girl that broke his heart along the way

When a cowboy falls, he falls hard
And sometimes he falls way too far
And you can bet that when he hits the ground
And he'll get back up and play the part
Even with a broken heart
He'll hold the reins and hide the pain inside
Love's always a cowboy's toughest ride

Girl just listen to me now
I should know what I'm talking about
'Cause everything I learned, I learned from you
I have rode some broncs from hell
And it hurt me every time I fell
But not half as much as the pain of losing you

When this cowboy falls, he falls hard
And sometimes he falls way too far
But you can bet that when he hits the ground
He'll get back up and play the part
Even with a broken heart
He'll hold the reins and hide the pain inside
Love's always a cowboy's toughest ride
You were there, so cowboy's toughest ride

Carrie Underwood - I just can't live a lie

Lately nothing I do ever seems to please you
And maybe turning my back would be that much easier
Cause hurtful words are all that we exchange
But I can't watch you walk away

Can I forget about the way it feels to touch you?
And all about the good times that we've been through
Could I wake up without you every day?
Would I let you walk away?

No, I can't learn to live without
And I can't give up on us now

[Chorus]
Oh, I know I could say we're through
And tell myself I'm over you
But even if I made a vow
I promise not to miss you now
And try to hide the truth inside
I'd fail cause I, I just can't live a lie

Could I forget the look that tells me that you want me?
And all the reasons that make loving you so easy
The kiss that always makes it hard to breathe
The way you know just what I mean

No, I can't learn to live without
Ohh, so don't you give up on us now

Ohh, I know I could say we're through
And tell myself I'm over you
But even if I made a vow
I promise not to miss you now
And try to hide the truth inside
I'd fail cause I, I just can't live a lie

Ohh, and I don't wanna try

Ohhhh, I know I could say we're through
And tell myself I'm over you
But even if I made a vow
I promise not to miss you now
And try to hide the truth inside
I'd fail cause I, I just can't live a lie

I just can't live a lie

But even if I made a vow
I promise not to miss you now
And try to hide the truth inside
I'd fail cause I, I just can't live a lie

Oh, I cant live a lie [x2]

Carrie Underwood - Before he cheats

right now, he's probably buying her some fruity little drink cause she can't shoot whiskey...

Right now, he's probably up behind her with a pool-stick, showing her how to shoot a combo...

And he don't know...

That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seats...
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...

Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.

Right now, she's probably up singing some
white-trash version of Shania karaoke..
Right now, she's probably saying "I'm drunk"
and he's a thinking that he's gonna get lucky,
Right now, he's probably dabbing on 3 dollars worth of that bathroom polo...
And he don't know...

That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seats,
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...

Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.

I might've saved a little trouble for the next girl,
Cause the next time that he cheats...

Oh, you know it won't be on me!

No...not on me
'Cause I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seats...
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...

Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.

Oh.. Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats...

Ohh... before he cheats...

Carrie Underwood - Do you hear what i hear

Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see
Way up in the sky little lamb
Do you see what I see
A star, a star
Dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepard boy
Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky shepard boy
Do you hear what I hear
A song, a song
High above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepard boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know
In your palace wall mighty king
Do you know what I know
A child, a child
Shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold

Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace people everywhere
Listen to what I say
The child, the child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

The child, the child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light

Carrie Underwood - Cowboy casanova

You better take it from me, that boy is like a disease
You’re running, you’re trying, you’re trying to hide
And you’re wondering why you can’t get free
He’s like a curse, he’s like a drug
You get addicted to his love
You wanna get out but he’s holding you down
‘Cause you can’t live without one more touch

He’s a good time cowboy casanova
Leaning up against the record machine
Looks like a cool drink of water
But he’s candy-coated misery
He’s the devil in disguise
A snake with blue eyes
And he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don’t want to fight
You better run for your life

I see that look on your face
You ain’t hearing what I say
So I’ll say it again
‘Cause I been where you been
And I know how it ends
You can’t get away
Don’t even look in his eyes
He’ll tell you nothing but lies
And you wanna believe
But you won’t be deceived
If you listen to me
And take my advice

He’s a good time cowboy casanova
Leaning up against the record machine
Looks like a cool drink of water
But he’s candy-coated misery
He’s the devil in disguise
A snake with blue eyes
And he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don’t want to fight
You better run for your life

Run run away
Don’t let him mess with your mind
He’ll tell you anything you want to hear
He’ll break your heart
It’s just a matter of time
But just remember

He’s a good time cowboy casanova
Leaning up against the record machine
Looks like a cool drink of water
But he’s candy-coated misery
He’s the devil in disguise
A snake with blue eyes
And he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don’t want to fight
You better run for your life

Oh you better run for your life
Oh you better run for your life

Carrie Underwood - Angels brought me here

It's been a long and winding journey
But I'm finally here tonight
Picking up the pieces
And walking back into the night
Into the sunset of your glory
Where my heart and future lies
There's nothing like that feeling
When I look into your eyes

My dreams came true
When I found you
I found you
My miracle...

Chorus:

If you could see what I see
You're the answers to my prayers
If you could feel the tenderness I feel
You would know it would be clear
That angels brought me here

Standing here before you
Feels like I've been born again
Every breathe is ur love
Every heartbeat speaks your name

My dreams came true
Right here in front of you
My miracle...

If you could see what I see
You're the answers to my prayers
If you could feel the tenderness I feel
You would know it would be clear
That angels brought me here

Bridge:

They brought me here to be with you
I'll be forever greatful-grateful
Oh forever faithful
My dreams came true
When I found you
My miracle...

If you could see what I see
You're the answers to my prayers
If you could feel the tenderness I feel
You would know it would be clear
That angels brought me here

Carrie Underwood - All American girl

Since the day they got married
He'd been praying for a little baby boy
Someone he could take fishing
Throw the football and be his pride and joy
He could already see him holding that trophy
Taking his team to state
But when the nurse came in with a little pink blanket
All those big dreams changed

And now, he's wrapped around her finger
She's the center of his whole world
And his heart belongs to that sweet, little, beautiful, wonderful, perfect
All American girl

Sixteen short years later
She was falling for the senior football star
Before you knew it he was dropping passes
Skipping practice just to spend more time with her
The coach said, hey son what's your problem
Tell me have you lost your mind
Daddy said you'll lose your free ride to college
Boy, you better tell her goodbye

But now, he's wrapped around her finger
She's the center of his whole world
And his heart belongs to that sweet, little, beautiful, wonderful, perfect
All American

And when they got married and decided to have one of their own
She said, be honest, tell me what you want
And he said, honey you outta know

A sweet, little, beautiful one just like you
I want a beautiful, wonderful, perfect All American

Now, he's wrapped around her finger
She's the center of his whole world
And his heart belongs to that sweet, little, beautiful, wonderful, perfect
All American girl

All American girl

Stealing Angels - Paper heart

I wish somebody told me I would light up
And in a second I would turn to ash
I wish somebody told me I would tear up
Always be out there lookin’ for my other half
That I had a paper heart
That I had a paper heart

I wish somebody told me I would roll up
Into a little ball that you could throw away
If I woulda known I woulda folded up
Into a 747 airplane
Cause I’ve got a paper heart

Shoulda paid attention to the state of my condition
Before I kissed you that way, I shoulda listened
Thought I was a rockin’ stone, standin’ my ground all on my own
But I was blown away
Cause I’ve got a paper heart

Oh, I woulda never looked at you if I only if I knew
Never woulda kissed you that way, I shoulda listened
Thought that I was strong enough, knew all there was to know about love
But I was blown away
Cause I’ve got a paper heart

I wish somebody told me I would light up
And in a second I would turn to ash
I’ve got a paper heart
I’ve got a paper heart
That I had a paper heart
I’ve got a paper heart
I wish somebody told me, someone shoulda told me
I’ve got a paper heart
That I had a paper heart
I wish somebody told me, someone shoulda told me
I’ve got a paper heart

Stealing Angels - Lightning in a bottle

Oh yeah

Are you ready for a little bit of danger?
Have you read all the warning signs?
If you wanna see sparks light the dark,
Tonight might be your night
You got here just in time

[Chorus]
Lightning in a bottle
Let loose, it'll strike you down
It's like catching a bullet
Before it knocks you to the ground
Lightning in a bottle
Baby don't get too close

Well you never know what coulda happen
When the cosmic forces fly
That kind of blast happens so fast
You better not blink your eyes
You could kiss your heart good-bye

[Chorus]
Lightning in a bottle
Let loose, it'll strike you down
It's like catching a bullet
Before it knocks you to the ground
Lightning in a bottle
Baby don't get too close

C'mon
Ooh yeah yeah yeah

Can't you feel it, it's electric
Hits you when you least expect it
You can't help but be affected
You know you want it
Come and get it

[Chorus (x2)]
Lightning in a bottle
Let loose, it'll strike you down
It's like catching a bullet
Before it knocks you to the ground
Lightning in a bottle
Baby don't get too close

Whoo!

Stealing Angels -If I had a ladder

We never even knew what we were building
But we knew when it was done
We made these bricks and we laid them one by one
Now look at what we've created
Out of heartache, silence and tears
Something this high wasn't built in a night,
It takes years

[Chorus]
If I had a ladder
Would I climb up to the top
And if I saw the chance
Jump and run and never stop
If I had a ladder
Would I look down just to see
That it's not as high or wide
As we swore it had to be
This wall we built between us might not matter
If I had a ladder

Now what's the point in pointing fingers
That won't make it fall
We both did our share to make it rise
In the air this tall

[Chorus]
If I had a ladder
Would I climb up to the top
And if I saw the chance
Jump and run and never stop
If I had a ladder
Would I look down just to see
That it's not as high or wide
As we swore it had to be
This wall we built between us might not matter
If I had a ladder

I can't do this alone
I wanna get there with you
Cause baby the view will be beautiful.
Beautiful

[Chorus]
If I had a ladder
Would I climb up to the top
And if I saw the chance
Jump and run and never stop
If I had a ladder
Would I look down just to see
That it's not as high or wide
As we swore it had to be
This wall we built between us might not matter
If I had a ladder

No this wall we built between us might not matter
If I had a ladder

If I had a ladder

Stealing Angels - Girls gotcha back

One day out of the blue my tears turned off like a faucet
No more rolling down my cheeks
I finally wear mascara again without the worry of a tragedy
No more crumbling heart or clouds so dark
No more anger, oh no
Today I called up my girlfriends and said it's over
It's finally over

[Chorus]
Tonight I’m drinking celebrating my life
With my girlfriends gonna rock all night
In the city and it's sexy, oh yeah
Get all dressed up, gonna laugh and dance
Maybe get lucky in a little romance
The evening (every evening) is looking dazzling
Boys they come and go like that
Girls gotcha back

It's a funny, twisted life that I’ve been living
So lost inside my pain
My friends pray for sunshine on my pillow
To dry up the rain
Flowers on my steps
Send helpful texts to save me, oh yeah
I thank god for friends here till the end that get me
I'm so lucky

[Chorus]
Tonight I’m drinking celebrating my life
With my girlfriends gonna rock all night
In the city and it's sexy, oh yeah
Get all dressed up, gonna laugh and dance
Maybe get lucky in a little romance
The evening (every evening) is looking dazzling
Boys they come and go like that
Girls gotcha back
Girls gotcha back

Boys they come and go
Yeah, boys they come and go

[Chorus]
Tonight I’m drinking celebrating my life
With my girlfriends gonna rock all night
In the city and it's sexy, oh yeah
Get all dressed up, gonna laugh and dance
Maybe get lucky in a little romance
The evening (every evening) is looking dazzling
Girls gotcha back
Girls gotcha back

Chris Young - You're gonna love me

If you like a man who you can put your trust in
You don't have to worry where he's been
Then rest easy
Girl, you're gonna love me

And if you like to slow dance to ol' Keith Whitley
Long Sunday drives out in the country
I'm your cup of tea
Girl, you're gonna love me

Come and rest your head against my chest
'Cause I'm the one for you
You don't have to look no more
Your search is through

So girl if you like a handful of fresh wild flowers
A back rub on a bad day talkin' for hours
I'm good company
Girl you're gonna love me

Come and rest your head against my chest
'Cause I'm the one for you
You don't have to look no more
Your search is through

So girl if you like a big heart that's in this for the long haul
Till we're rockin' on the front porch and they're callin' me papaw
Till the last breath you breathe
Girl, you're gonna love me
Just try it and see
Girl, you're gonna love me

Chris Young - Voices

You could say I'm a little bit crazy
You could call me insane
Walkin' 'round with all these whispers
Runnin' 'round here in my brain

I just can't help but hear 'em
Man, I can't avoid it
I hear voices
I hear voices like

My dad sayin', "Work that job
But don't work your life away"
And mama tellin' me to drop some cash
In the offerin' plate on Sunday

And granddad sayin', "You can have a few
But don't ever cross that line"
Yeah, I hear voices all the time

Turns out I'm pretty dang lucky
For all that good advice
Those hard-to-find words of wisdom
Holed up here in my mind

And just when I've lost my way
Or I've got too many choices
I hear voices
I hear voices like

My dad sayin', "Quit that team
And you'd be a quitter for the rest of your life"
And mama tellin' me to say a prayer
Every time I lay down at night

And grandma sayin', "If you find the one
You better treat her right"
Yeah, I hear voices all the time

Sometimes I try to ignore 'em
But I thank God for 'em
'Cause they made me who I am

My dad sayin', "Work that job
But don't work your life away"
And mama tellin' me to drop some cash
In the offerin' plate on Sunday

And granddad sayin', "You can have a few
But don't ever cross that line"
Yeah, I hear voices all the time
Yeah, I hear voices all the time
All the time

Chris Young - Tomorrow

Tomorrow I'm gonna leave here.
I'm gonna let you go and walk away like every day I said I would.
And tomorrow, I'm gonna listen.
To that voice of reason inside my head telling me that we're no good.

[Chorus]
But tonight I'm gonna give in one last time.
Rock you strong in these arms of mine.
Forget all the regrets that are bound to follow.
We're like fire and gasoline.
I'm no good for me.
You're no good for me.
We only bring each other tears and sorrow.
But tonight, I'm gonna love you like there's no tomorrow.

Tomorrow I'll be stronger.
I'm not gonna break down and call you up when my heart cries out for you.
And tomorrow, you won't believe it,
but when i pass your house,
I won't stop no matter how bad I want to.

[Chorus]

Baby when we're good, you know we're great.
But there's too much bad for us to think that there's anything worth trying to save.

[Chorus]

Tomorrow, I'm gonna leave you there.
I'm gonna let you go and walk away like every day I said I would.

Chris Young - The man I want to be

God, I'm down here on my knees
'Cause it's the last place left to fall
Beggin' for another chance
If there's any chance at all
That You might still be listenin'
Lovin' and forgivin' guys like me

I've spent my whole life
Gettin' it all wrong
And I sure could use Your help
'Cause from now on

I want to be a good man
A do like I should man
I want to be the kind of man
The mirror likes to see

I want to be a strong man
And admit that I was wrong man
God, I'm asking You to come change me
Into the man I want to be

If there's anyway for her and me
To make another start
Could You see what You could do
To put some love back in her heart?
'Cause it goin' to take a miracle
After all I've done to really make her see

That I want to be a stay man
I want to be a brave man
I want to be the kind of man
She sees in her dreams

God, I want to be Your man
And I want to be her man
God, I only hope she still believes
In the man I want to be

Well, I know this late at night the talk is cheap
But Lord, don't give up on me

I want to be a givin' man
I want to really start livin', man
God, I'm asking You to come change me
Into the man I want to be

Chris Young - Drinkin' me lonely

I'm pushing you away each time I pull up that ol' barstool
Drownin' you in every drop I drink
Tellin' you to go to hell but I'm talking to myself
'Cause you're not around to hear what I think

I'm trying to teach my heart to hate you but it ain't workin' right
Now the truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely tonight

And Lord, it's more than just thirsty that I'm feelin' inside
'Cause these tears I've been crying have left me bone dry
I wish the bartender had a cure I could buy
But the truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely tonight

You said I'd have to choose between your love and this old bar room
I just laughed but I guess you knew best
Who cares who's right or wrong tonight, my better half is gone
And this whiskey's layin' claim to all that's left

So I'll just order up another and pretend I'm all right
When the truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely tonight

And Lord, it's more than just thirsty that I'm feelin' inside
'Cause these tears I've been crying have left me bone dry
I wish the bartender had a cure I could buy
But the truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely tonight

So I'll just order up another and pretend I'm all right
When the truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely tonight

Chris Young - Flashlight

He said son hold it still
Keep that beam shining straight
He’d have a 9/16ths in one hand
Working on that Chevrolet
It seemed like every Saturday
Soon as the sun went down
We’d be huddled underneath that hood
Tinkering around
And of all of the great memories I’ve had
The best ones are those nights just me and my dad

He’ll never how much he taught me
Out in that garage
And I guess the stuff that stuck
Was more about life than fixing cars
Cause to this day I still can’t make them run right
But I sure did learn a lot
Just holding the flashlight

He told me a lot of stories
About Grandpa and the war
While he was trying to show me
What a carburator’s for
I learned a couple cuss words
When he skinned his knuckles up
And I found out Momma was the only girl
He ever really loved
Then I asked him about women, he just laughed
Said if we stayed out here all year
We wouldn’t have time enough for that

He’ll never how much he taught me
Out in that garage
And I guess the stuff that stuck
Was more about life than fixing cars
Cause to this day I still can’t make them run right
But I sure did learn a lot
Just holding the flashlight

And to this day I still can’t make them run right
But deep inside I know that it’s alright
Cause I sure
Just holding the flashlight

Thanks Dad

Chris Young - Lost

I’m out on the highway, just about a mile away
Meet me out in the driveway
I’m gonna be there soon
I’ll swing by and pick you up
Don’t bother getting fixed up
Me and you and this old truck will find something to do
No I ain’t got no plan in mind
It’s such a perfect night so I just thought
We could go get lost

Lost down some old back road
Lost in a song on the radio
Lost in your deep blue eyes
I don’t care if we spend all night
Lost by the river cross the turnpike
Somewhere near nowhere is my favorite thing to do
Won’t you say girl me and you
Go get a little lost

Come on baby let’s go
When we get there we’ll know
No bars on the cellphone
Sounds good to me
We can find us a place to park
By the water underneath the stars
And do a little “fishin’ in the dark”
If you know what I mean
Well all we need’s a tank a gas
So grab that GPS and turn it off
Let’s go get lost

Lost down some old back road
Lost in a song on the radio
Lost in your deep blue eyes
I don’t care if we spend all night
Lost by the river cross the turnpike
Somewhere near nowhere is my favorite thing to do
Won’t you say girl me and you
Go get a little lost

No I ain’t got no plan in mind
And it’s such a perfect night
So I just thought we could get

Lost down some old back road
Lost in a song on the radio
Lost in your deep blue eyes
I don’t care if we spend all night
Lost by the river cross the turnpike
Somewhere near nowhere is my favorite thing to do
Won’t you say girl me and you
Go get a little lost

Chris Young - Gettin' you home

Tuxedo waiters, black tie,
white table clothes and red wine,
we've been planning, this night,
looking forward to it,for some time
now honey I know you love getting dressed up,
and you know I love showing you off,
but watching your baby blue eyes, dancing in the candle light glow,
all I can think about, is getting you home,

[Chorus]
Walking through the front door, seeing your black dress hit the floor, uh honey there sure ain't nothing, like you loving
me all night long, and all I can think about is getting you home,

I don't need this menu, no I don't,
I already know just what I want,
did I hear you right, did you tell me,
go pay the waiter and lets leave,
now honey I know by that look in your eyes,
and your hand drawing hearts on mine, that our night out of the house, ain't gonna last too long,
when all you can think about, is getting me home,

[Chorus]

Walking through the front door, seeing your black dress hit the floor, uh honey there sure ain't nothing like you loving me
all night long,
and all I can think about, all I can think about,
all I can think about, is getting you home.
Send "Gettin' You Home" Ringtone to your Cell

Chris Young - Beer or gasoline

Two dollars shy of a five dollar bill
Last mile I pushed my truck uphill
About hurt me
I left my truck by the pump right where I parked it
Walked through the doors of the Last Chance Market
Have mercy, I was thirsty
The guy behind the counter said what's it gonna be
I said I don't know man, you tell me

It's a gallon of gas, or a cold six pack
One goes in my tank, one comes in a sack
Makes life complicated when it costs the same
Hell it ain't no fun, to do without one
But I'll do a lot of walkin' if my motor don't run
It's a tough ol' choice to make if you know what I mean
It's either beer of gasoline

I could feel that video camera watch me
Checkin' out the sale on the ol' Milwaukee
(Mmm) Three bucks to my name
That cooler had every brand known to man
Tall boys, bottles, and aluminum cans
(Aww) What a shame
And it's gettin' pretty bad when you finally discover
It all comes down to either one or the other

It's a gallon of gas, or a cold six pack
One goes in my tank, one comes in a sack
Makes life complicated when it costs the same
Hell it ain't no fun, to do without one
But I'll do a lot of walkin' if my motor don't run
It's a tough ol' choice to make if you know what I mean
It's either beer of gasoline

I could see where this is headed
And I'm tired of talkin'
Cold beer unleaded
Hell I'm walkin'

It's a gallon of gas, or a cold six pack
One goes in my tank, one comes in a sack
Makes life complicated when it costs the same
Hell it ain't no fun, to do without one
But I'll do a lot of walkin' if my motor don't run
It's a tough ol' choice to make if you know what I mean
It's either beer of gasoline

Beer or gasoline

It's a gallon of gas, or a cold six pack
One goes in my tank, one comes in a sack

Now it ain't no fun to do without one
But I'll do a lot of walkin' if my motor don't run

20/07/2011

Easton Corbin - This far fron Memphis

She said goodbye in Tallahassee
I just crawled in my truck
Set my mind on Miami
And my sights on better luck

[Chorus:]
Ain't a man deserves to hurt like this
It's a lonely place, it sure is
Guess I never really knew the blues
Ever got this far from Memphis

All the night life and the beaches
Couldn't soothe my achin' soul
And how I ended up in Key West
God and the liquor only know

[Repeat Chorus]

Now I've run out of road
So I guess my only hope
Is to trade this truck for a boat

[Repeat Chorus]

Ever got this far from Memphis
Man, I'm a long ways from Memphis

Easton Corbin - The way love looks

Baby I know I've told you
But I ain't told you today
When you walked in with that sleepy eyed grin
There's something I've been meaning to say

I like the way love looks
The way it looks on you

When you pencil in all your makeup
When youre rubbing it off at night
Getting out of them jeans while youre giggling at me
there's no mistaking I

I like the way love looks
The way it looks on you

Lying on the very next pillow
Smiling like you do
Sharing your deepest secrets
Baby I'm telling you

I like the way love looks
The way it looks on you

When you fall asleep in front of the tv
When youre cryin over some sad book
When you beg and plead to go fishin w me
And I have to bait your hook

Easton Corbin - That'll make you wanna drink

Smokey bar
Mediocre band playin’
Old familiar songs, hit after hit
Neon lights
Cuttin’ through the smoke a new Minnesota
Fats is chalkin’ up his stick
Nine ball in the corner pocket,
twenty dollars gone
Two Bubba’s standin’ toe to toe about
to get it on

[Chorus:]
That’ll make you wanna drink
Say, what the heck
Turn up a cold one
Throw down your paycheck
A room full of good times, laughter and pain
That’ll make you wanna drink
That’ll make you wanna drink

Country boy
Out there on the dance floor with mud
on his boots
He brought straight from the farm
Older man
Gold chains around his neck and a pretty
young thing hangin’ on his arm
I bet he’s got a couple of them little blue pills
She ain’t gonna, but for drinks all night she’ll
make him think she will

[Repeat Chorus]

The reason I came in here is I screwed
up real bad
She’s made it mighty clear, she ain’t never
comin’ back

[Repeat Chorus]

That’ll make you wanna drink

Easton Corbin - Someday when I'm old

Someday when I'm old
I'll pull up to the store
and park wherever I want to.

I'll buy a box of moonpies
and flirt with the cashier
yeah, like I was still 22

I'll bitch about $18
for a gallon of gas
down at the Texaco
Someday when I'm old

Yeah, someday when I'm old
I'll keep chewing gum in my front pocket
and cold Dr Pepper in the fridge

I'll let my daughter get mad
say I'm ruining their supper
when I give that stuff to my grandkids

Now I realize that somethings
they just don't matter
and how fast it all goes
Someday when I'm old

That clock just starts tickin
Oh the day that you're born
And no matter how much time you get
You always want more

Someday when I'm old,
I'll be the only one
who remembers you young, and beautiful
Your dark hair falling on that pillow case
all the secrets we shared, all the love that we made...

And I'll hold on to those precious moments
like pieces of gold...
someday when I'm old.

Easton Corbin - Roll with it

I got my old guitar and some fishin poles
So baby fill that cooler full of something cold
Don't ask just pack and we'll hit the road runnin
honey what do you say

I got just enough money and just enough gas
So pick a place on the map we can get to fast
Where the white sandy beach meets water like glass
And if the tide carries us away

Baby we'll roll with it
Won't think about it too much
Baby let's just go with it
And get out of this ordinary everyday rut

And we get swept away by one of those perfect days
When the sun is sinking low at dusk
And wind up a little deeper in love
Baby lets roll with it

We get so caught up in catching up
Trying to pay the rent trying to make a buck
That don't leave much time for time for us
And aint life too short for that

So open up that bag of pig skins you bought
At the Exxon station the last time we stopped
And you kick back baby and dance in your socks
On the windshield to some radio rock

And we'll roll with it
Won't think about it too much
Baby let's just go with it
And get out of this ordinary everyday rut

And we get swept away by one of those perfect days
When the sun is sinking low at dusk
And wind up a little deeper in love
Baby lets roll with it

And it won't be no thing if it starts to rain
And we have to wait it out in the truck
We might wind up a little deeper in love
So baby lets roll with it

Easton Corbin - Let alone you

It was Sunday afternoon
I was sunk in my recliner
Football game was on
Tampa Bay and Carolina
I wasn't payin much attention
The volume down not watchin it at all
This house was like an ice box
Had all the curtains drawn
I had it more like a hotel room and less like a home
It's been so quiet around here lately
I wasnt thinkin anyone would call

Let alone you
All the way from Dallas
Out of the blue
Sayin that you missed us
And time and distance made you see
You were lost without me
How did you know I'd finally hit the bottom
An all time low
Suddenly forgotten
The sound of your voice on the line
Made fate turn circles on a dime
Just when I thought I'd never find somebody new
Let alone you

Now here I am at the baggage claim
A nervous wreck waitin on your plane
Ring in my hands checkin my watch
I never dreamed 48 hours ago
I'd be standin here waitin on anyone
No not anyone

Let alone you
All the way from Dallas
Out of the blue
Sayin that you missed us
And time and distance made you see
You were lost without me
How did you know
I'd finally hit the bottom
An all time low
Suddeny forgotten
The sound of your voice on the line
Made fate turn circles on a dime
Just when I thought I'd never find somebody new
Let alone you
Let alone you

Easton Corbin - Leavin' a lonely town

Mama's standin' at the old screen door
With a dish rag in her hand
Cryin' like I never seen her cry before
Like she don't understand why

I'm leavin' a lonely town
I'm leavin' a lonely town

My old man he's workin' on his truck
Ain't never had much to say
Just shakes my hand and wishes me luck
And watches me walk away, yeah

I'm leavin' a lonely town
I'm leavin' a lonely town

Drivin' one last time down Main Street
Past the cafe on the square
Go slow by the window 'cause I know she's
Waitin' tables in there, but

I'm leavin' a lonely town
She knows, I'm leavin' a lonely town
I'm leavin' a lonely town
Lord, I'm leavin' a lonely town

Mama's standin' at the old screen door
Cryin' like I never seen her cry before
Lonely town, lonely town
Lonely town

Easton Corbin - I can't love you back


I can love you in the morning
I can love you all day
I can love you even more when I get home
I can love you every second
to the ends of the earth
Where needing you's the only thing that's on
my broken one track mind

[Chorus]
Girl, I love you crazy
It comes so easy, after all we had
I could love you with all my heart
But the hardest part is
I just can't love you back

I could write a thousand letters
Call a hundred times a day
Or try to drown my sorrow at the bar
I could go down to the church
Get on my knees and pray
But it still won't change the way things really are
Won't bring you back again

[Chorus]

I can love you for all I'm worth
To the ends of the earth
But I just can't love you back

Easton Corbin - Don't ask me about a woman

I was sittin with him on his front porch swing
Soaking up wisdom and Grandma's sweet tea
Listening to his stories, man, he'd done it all
His tour in the Army and his wilder days
Raising my daddy and bailing his hay
He cut off a twist of tobacco, stuck it in his jaw
Cocked back his hat with a sideways grin and
gave me that ole wink
He said, I can tell you something 'bout
most anything

But don't ask me about a woman
All I know is boy they're something
They're tender and they're tough
Can break it down and lift you up
Don't ask me about a woman
That's some complicated stuff
They ain't made to figure out
They're just made to love

He said, boy I've lived nearly eighty years
There's a lot of know how between these ears
But when it comes to your grandma
I'm still your age
It took me a long, long time to learn
Loving a woman is full of left turns
The more they change, the more they stay
the same
Son, it's been that way since the
beginning of time
We're behind the wheel but just along for
the ride

But don't ask me about a woman
All I know is boy they're something
They're tender and they're tough
Can break it down and lift you up
Don't ask me about a woman
That's some complicated stuff
They ain't made to figure out
They're just made to love

Fast forward ten years it's Saturday night
She's changed three times, says her hair
ain't right
My mind reels back to the time and place
When I heard my grandpa say

Don't ask me about a woman
Boy, that's some complicated stuff
They ain't made to figure out
They're just made to love
Now I know what he's talkin about
They're just made to love

Easton Corbin - A lot to learn about livin'

Stepped off the plane down in Cabo
Just meaning to stay for a week
I got a funny sensation about this vacation
The second the sand hit my feet
Taxi driver took my two bags
He saw me looking at my watch
He said, you won't need that here 'cause time disappears
In paradise there ain't no clocks

[CHORUS:]
You got alot to learn about livin'
It's a different world down here
Our biggest problem's decidin' what fish we're fryin'
Does it go with tequila or beer

He dropped me off at the hotel
I took a u-turn into the bar
I sat down on a stool out by the pool
Next to a lady smoking a Cuban cigar
I ordered a drink and took out my cell phone
I tried to make a call to L.A.
Dang thing wouldn't work, I started to curse
Bartender said, I bet it can wait

[REPEAT CHORUS]

I, yi, yi...change is in the air
Now, I, yi, yi...ain't got a care

Six months later I'm driving a taxi
I got a Hawaiian shirt and a tan
Pick up some guy in a Brooks Brothers tie
I say, it's time to loosen up man

[REPEAT CHORUS]

There's alot to learn about livin'
It's a different life down here
Our biggest problem's decidin' what fish we're fryin'
Does it go with tequila or beer

Easton Corbin - A little more country than that

[Bridge 1]
Imagine a dirt road full of potholes
With a creek bank and some cane poles catchin channel cat
I'm a little more country than that

[Bridge 2]
Picture a small town with an old hound
Layin out front of the courthouse
While the ol men chew the fat
I'm a little more country than that

[Chorus]
I just want to make sure you just know who your gettin under this ol hat
Cause girl I'm just not the kind of two time or play games behind your back
I'm a little more country than that

[Bridge 3]
Think of hank song with a days gone
With a steel ride this old song that sends chills up your back
I'm a little more country than that

[Bridge 4]
If you want a brick home in a school zone
With the doors locked and alarms on
Girl you're way off track
I'm a little more country than that

[Chorus]
I just want to make sure you just know who your gettin under this ol hat
Cause girl I'm just not the kind of two time or play games behind your back
I'm a little more country than that

[Bridge 5]
Yea I'm sure that you've heard those three words from lovers and they fell flat
But this ring ain't something I need to give you and then take back
I'm a little more country than that

I'm a little more country than that [Repeat 2x]

Easton Corbin - A dozen roses

I guess you noticed there’s only eleven roses
I chosen from our garden where they grew
Take the roses and look into the mirror
And the twelfth rose will be looking back at you

There’s just something about us bringing roses
To a woman they say a more than a man can say
After what I’ve done you may not keep the roses
But I just thought I would send them anyways

There’s just something about us bringing roses
To a woman they say more than a man can say
After what I’ve done you may not keep the roses
But I just though I would send them anyways

After what I’ve done you may not keep the roses
But I just thought I would send them anyways

Carlene Carter - Unbreakable heart

An empty house
A broken fairy tale
A hollow girl with empty arms
From an angel's tears
God made the stars
Why can't he make me an unbreakable heart
In my blue world
You shone like heaven's fire
And left me cryin' in the dark
How could anyone
Be so hard
Did you think I had
An unbreakable heart
I suppose I should know
Sometimes love just comes and goes
But I believed, foolish me
We'd go on and on
One day someone will come to you
And rock you tightly in her arms
Please remember this when you drop your guard
Nobody has an unbreakable heart
From an angel's wings to a fallen star
God makes everything
But unbreakable hearts

Carlene Carter - The lucky ones

We are the lucky ones, we know the truth
Our daughters and sons just like us in our youth
Generations before us watch over from above
They filled us with faith and they showered us with love

My girl's just like her mama, loves with all her heart
And my son keeps me smilin' when life seems too hard
We're lucky that we have their love
'Cause some can only dream
So I never take for granted what I know means everything

We are the lucky ones
We are the lucky ones

We are the lucky ones, we know the score
There's you and there's me and those fools at our door
They want what we have, but they don't understand
It's a secret that keeps us still holdin' hands

We are the lucky ones
We are the lucky ones

Time keeps on tickin' while we watch the clock
We learn from mistakes, yeah we've been around the block
The way that this cruel world turns some upside down
It's amazing to me that we're still hangin' 'round

Strange as it seems
I live my life like some sweet dream
One day I'm flying through the air
Next I'm danglin' by a string
Tell me, am I walkin' on coals or treadin' on thin ice
To have a little heaven here on earth
Well, hell I'll pay the price

We are the lucky ones
We are the lucky ones

Carlene Carter - I fell in love

Hey, I hit town without a clue
Minding my business like I always do
Just my luck I ran smack into you

And I never could've known it would be like this
You got the kind of charm that I can't resist
I figure what's the harm in a little bitty kiss or two

But I fell in love
(Whatcha wanna do that for)
Oh I fell in love
(Whatcha wanna do that for)
I fell in love

Took me by surprise, put me on the floor
Right between the eyes with a two by four
Just a little taste and
I fell in love

I was doing fine out on my own
Never sitting home by the telephone
I couldn't complain that I didn't have much to do
I was a two fisted woman looking for a fight
Had a boy on my left, a boy on the right
But you burned me up like a chicken at a barbeque

But I fell in love
(Whatcha wanna do that for)
Oh I fell in love
(Whatcha wanna do that for)
I fell in love

Didn't see it coming into view
I was overwhelmed and overdue
I ain't gonna sweat it
I fell in love

But I fell in love
(Whatcha wanna do that for)
Oh I fell in love
(Whatcha wanna do that for)
I fell in love

Caught me on the blind side unaware
I may be a fool but I don't care
I never knew what hit me
I fell in love

But I fell in love
(Whatcha wanna do that for)
Oh I fell in love
(Whatcha wanna do that for)
I fell in love

Trying to visualize what's wrong with me
Got me hypnotized, I cannot see
Boy you really got me
I fell in love
I fell in love
I fell in love
Oh I fell in love

Carlene Carter - Gardian angel

Some folks live their life not knowing
Where they've been or where they're going
I'm not one but I know some
I've been selfish with affection
I threw it all in one direction
To turn around and then I found
The ones I loved I'd let 'em down

There must be a guardian angel

I lived my life like no tomorrow
A lot of laughs and such sweet sorrow
But most the time I took for granted
And heaven knows somebody planned it

There must be someone watching over me
A guardian angel guiding me
A guardian angel just for me

About the company I'm keeping
I slipped away while they were sleeping
I kissed the boys and made them cry
Oh I never stopped to say good-bye

Some folks live their life not knowing
Where they've been or where they're going
I've been up to living it down
And heaven knows I know how now

There must be someone watching over me
A guardian angel guiding me
A guardian angel just for me
A guardian angel watching me
A guardian angel just for me
A guardian angel...

Carlene Carter - Every little thing

I hear songs on the radio
They might be fast or they might be slow
But every song they play's got me thinkin' 'bout you
I see a fella walkin' down the street
He looks at me and he smiles real sweet
But he don't matter to me
'Cause I'm thinkin' 'bout you

Every little dream I dream about you
Every little thought I think about you
Drives me crazy when you go away
I oughta keep you locked up at home
And like a wild horse I wanna break you
I love you so much I hate you
Every little thing reminds me of you
Honey when you leave me here all alone

My tongue gets tied when I try to talk
My knees get weak when I start to walk
So I might as well stay home and keep thinkin' 'bout you
"The Young and the Restless" on my TV set
That's just like us when we first met
And when they start to kissin'
Got me thinking bout you

Every little dream I dream about you
Every little thought I think about you
Drives me crazy when you go away
I oughta keep you locked up at home
And like a wild horse I wanna break you
I love you so much I hate you
Every little thing reminds me of you
Honey when you leave me here all alone

Every little dream I dream about you
Every little thought I think about you
Drives me crazy when you go away
I oughta keep you locked up at home
And like a wild horse I wanna break you
I love you so much I hate you
Every little thing reminds me of you
Honey when you leave me here all alone

Carlene Carter - Do it in a heartbeat

If there was something I could do
To capture you
I'd do it in a heartbeat
Some little trick that I could try
To catch your eye
I'd do it in a heartbeat
If I had to jump through a hoop of fire
Even that would be as easy as pie
If to fly like a Superman
Would win your hand
I'd do it in a heartbeat

You got a tedious task,
All you gotta do is ask
I wouldn't need a second bidding
If I was printed in the press
As saying "yes" I would not be kidding
If the only thing to keep you from me
Was a slam bam thing with Ali
I'd get pushed around and knocked
Down fifteen rounds
But I'd do it in a heartbeat

If looks could kill
You surely will
Do a hundred and three
If you'd just look at me
And if they locked you up
All the girlies in town
Would be tryin' to tear that
Jailhouse down
But I'd do it in a heartbeat

If you thought I was cute
In a parachute
I'd freefall forty thousand
And if you thought I'd be nice
Hangin' on ice
I'd climb the highest mountain
If I had to jump through a hoop of fire
Even that would be as easy as pie
If to fly like Superman
Would win your hand
I'd do it in a heartbeat
Do it in a heartbeat
Do it in a heartbeat
Do it in a heartbeat

Carlene Carter - Come on back

You been out there layin' low
In every dive from here to Memphis
Lookin' for something to fill the hole
In your poor little heart
And keep out the cold
Why does love have to hurt so bad
To drive a man downtown every night
I tell ya something ain't right
Something's real wrong
In the morning when I wake up
You'll still be gone

Come on back to the one who really loves you
Baby come on back to me
Come on back to the one who really cares
Baby come on back to me

Out chasing shadows on the dark side of town
You can't hold what you can't catch
It's a bitter business this running around
When the penny drops it's a lonely sound
Women are fools when it comes to you
They gotcha doin' things you can't undo
Like a chain of heartaches around your neck
Give 'em enough rope and they'll hang you yet

Come on back to the one who really loves you
Baby come on back to me
Come on back to the one who really cares
Baby come on back to me

Come on back to the one who really loves you
Baby come on back to me
Come on back to the one who really cares
Baby come on back to me

Why does love have to hurt so bad
To drive a man downtown every night
I tell ya something ain't right
Something's real wrong
In the morning when I wake up
You'll still be gone

Come on back to the one who really loves you
Baby come on back to me
Come on back to the one who really cares
Baby come on back to me

Come on back to the one who really loves you
Baby come on back to me
Come on back to the one who really cares
Baby come on back to me

Carlene Carter - Change

Well I stayed up all night
I've been doing it for years
Sleep is not my friend 'cause dreams just feed my tears
So I laughed my way around
I've been everybody's girl
I drank for forgiveness till I drank up the world

Change
Nobody's here to hold me
Change
And the morning's cold and lonely
But I think I can change my life
Change

There's a light outside my window
Peepin' through the blinds
There's a life out there worth livin'
But there's nothing here to find
Just a book of people's numbers
That are just as scared as me
Dialing for a dimes worth
Of pain and company

Change
Nobody's here to hold me
Change
And the morning's cold and lonely
But I think I can change my life
Change

No matter where I turn
There's no escape I see
I'm just staring in this mirror
And that stranger can't be me
But I think I can change my life
You'll see a change in me

Well I'm sittin' in this room
With my cigarettes and wine
I'm out of all the other stuff
And now I'm running out of time

Change
Nobody's here to hold me
Change
I'm so cold and so lonely
But I think I can change my life
You'll see a change in me

Carlene Carter - All night long

Well, I've been out all night just sneakin' around
My feet start itchin' when the sun goes down
Time to come clean, you got the goods on me
But I ain't no angel, and it's plain to see
That I love you more than anything in this whole world
And when it comes to you, you know that I'm your girl
So let me make it up to you, all night long

Hey, I wasn't doing nothin' honey you ain't done before
But I was hip-mo-tized by the swinging doors
I love to party and I love to dance
A little wink and a smile don't mean romance
Maybe I been naughty, now I wanta be nice
You need some warmin' up 'cause you're as cold as ice
So let me make it up to you, all night long

Let me make it up to you
I wanna wake up with you
I promise that I'll be true blue
Let me make it up to you
I wanna stay up with you
All night long, all night long

Let me make it up to you
I wanna wake up with you
I promise that I'll be true blue
Let me make it up to you
I wanna stay up with you
All night long, all night long

Well, I love you more than anything in this whole world
And when it comes to you, you know that I'm your girl
So let me make it up to you, all night long
Let me make it up to you, all night long
All night long, all night long
All night long, all night long
All night long, all night long
All night long, all night long

Brooks & Dunn - You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

I'm still hurtin' from the last time
You walked on this heart of mine
I can't find much to believe in
You let me down so many times
Heaven knows how much I love you
But I'm tired of holding on
You better kiss me
'Cause your gonna miss me when I'm gone

Not much chance we're gonna make it
If I'm the only one who's trying
You know I'm running out of reasons
And we're running out of time
Someday, girl, you're gonna wake up
And wonder what went wrong
You better kiss me
'Cause your gonna miss me when I'm gone

You're good at going through the motions
All I hear are alibis
Now I get this empty feeling
When I look into your eyes
I don't see the love light shining
I don't know what's going on
You better kiss me
'Cause your gonna miss me when I'm gone

You better kiss me
'Cause your gonna miss me when I'm gone

You better kiss me
'Cause your gonna miss me when I'm gone

Brooks & Dunn - She used to be mine

She looked so good movin’ ‘cross the dance floor
Better than the day she left me
Arm in arm with somebody new
Holdin’ hands and laughin’ like we used to
I got my best smile on, but it’s no disguise
It don’t hide the pain in these eyes

I did her so wrong, for so long
Turned my back on her love, now she’s long gone
I did my part, to break her heart
She walked out on me, and tore my world apart
She used to be mine
Oh, she used to be mine

It’s taken every bit of strength that I have
To keep a hurt look off of my face
I can’t keep from lookin’ back over my shoulder
At the lucky man takin’ my place
Oh, if it weren’t for my pride, I’d probably take off runnin’
Guess what I’m feelin’, is what I got comin’

I did her so wrong, for so long
Turned my back on her love, now she’s long gone
I did my part, to break her heart
She walked out on me, and tore my world apart
She used to be mine
Oh, she used to be mine

I did her so wrong, for so long
Turned my back on her love, now she’s long gone
I did my part, to break her heart
She walked out on me, and tore my world apart
She used to be mine
Oh, she used to be mine

Oh, she used to be mine,
She used to be mine

Brooks & Dunn - Red dirt road

I was raised off of rural route 3
Out past where the blacktop ends
We'd walk to church on Sunday morning
And race barefoot back to Johnson's fence
That's where I first saw Mary
On that roadside pickin' blackberries
That summer I turned the corner in my soul
Down that red dirt road.

Chorus:
It's where I drank my first beer
It's where I found Jesus
Where I wrecked my first car
I tore it all to pieces
I learned the path to heaven
Is full of sinners and believers
Learned that happiness on earth
Ain't just for high achievers (I've heard)
I've come to know there's life at both ends
Of that red dirt road.

Her daddy didn't like me much
In my shackled up GTO
I'd sneak out in the middle of the night
Throw rocks at her bedroom window
We'd turn out the headlights
And drive by the moonlight
Talk about what the future might hold
Down that red dirt road

Repeat Chorus

I went out into the world
And I came back in
I lost Mary
Oh, I got her back again
And driving home tonight
It feels like I found a long lost friend

Repeat Chorus

Brooks & Dunn - Play something country

Yes, she blew through the door like TNT,
Put her hand on her hip, pointed a finger at me.
Said: "I'm a whiskey drinkin', cowboy chasin', helluva time.
"I like Kenny, Keith, Allan and Patsy Cline.
"I'm a full grown Queen Bee lookin' for honey.
"Ha-ooh-hoo, aw, play somethin' country."

Yeah, the band took a break,
The DJ played P Diddy.
She said: "I didn't come here to hear,
"Somethin' thumpin' from the city."
Said: "I, I shaved my legs, I paid my money.
"Ha-ooh-hoo, play somethin' country.
"Ha-ooh-hoo, aw, play somethin' country."

Crank up the band, play the steel guitar.
Hank it up a little, let's rock this bar.
Threw back a shot; yelled: "I'm a George Strait junkie.
"Ha-ooh-hoo, play somethin' country.
"Ha-ooh-hoo, aw, play somethin' country."

Yeah, the bartender yelled:"Y'all, it's closin' time."
She got this wild look on her face,
An' said: "Your truck or mine,
"I know a place down the road,
"It's kinda funky.
"Ha-ooh-hoo, all out in the country.
"Ha-ooh-hoo, now, play somethin' country."

Crank up the band, play the steel guitar.
Hank it up a little, let's rock this bar.
Threw back a shot; yelled: "I'm a George Strait junkie.
"Ah-ooh-hoo, play somethin' country.
"Ha-ooh-hoo, now, play somethin' country."

Instrumental break.

Crank up the band, play the steel guitar.
Hank it up a little, let's rock this bar.
Threw back a shot; yelled: "I'm a George Strait junkie.
"Ah-ooh-hoo, play somethin' country.
"Ha-ooh-hoo, play somethin' country."

Brooks & Dunn - Neon moon

When the sun goes down
On my side of town
That lonesome feeling
Comes to my door
The whole world turns blue

There's a rundown bar
Cross the railroad tracks
I've got a table for two
Way in the back
Where I sit alone
And think of losing you

I spend most every night
Beneath the light
Of this neon moon

If you lose your one and only
There's always room here for
the lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon

I think of two young lovers
Running wild and free
I close my eyes
And sometimes see
You in the shadows
Of this smoke-filled room

No telling how many tears
I've sat here and cried
Or how many lies
That I've lied
Telling my poor heart
She'll come back someday
Oh, but I'll be alright
As long as there's light
From a neon moon

If you lose your one and only
There's always room here for
the lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon

The jukebox plays on
Drink by drink
The words of every sad song
Seem to say what I think
This hurt inside of me
Ain't never gonna end

Oh, but I'll be alright
As long as there's light
From a neon moon

If you lose your one and only
There's always room here for
the lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon

To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon

To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon

Brooks & Dunn - My next broken heart

You picked me up, you shot me down
You're stepping out all over town
Drove me back to drinking in this bar
I found myself a brand new friend
I'm headed down that road again
I'm Working on my next broken heart

Happy or sad, it's hard to tell
You taught me how to hurt so well
But when it comes to love I know my part
I'll play this game that I can't win
I'll be somebody's fool again
Working on my next broken heart

I thought all along you'd be the death of me
But I met one tonight who wants what's left of me
I've seen that look before
She'll tear my world apart
I'm working on my next broken heart

I thought all along you'd be the death of me
But I met one tonight who wants what's left of me
I've seen that look before
She'll tear my world apart
I'm working on my next broken heart

I'm working on my next broken heart
I'm working on my next broken heart

Brooks & Dunn - My Maria

My Maria don't you know I've come a long, long way
I been longin' to see her
When she's around she takes my blues away
Sweet Maria the sunlight surely hurts my eyes
I'm a lonely dreamer on a highway in the skies

Maria, Maria I love you

My Maria there were some blue and sorrow times
Just my thoughts about you bring back my piece of mind
Gypsy lady you're a miracle work for me
You set my soul free like a ship sailing on the sea
She is the sunlight when the skies are grey
She treats me so right lady take me away

My Maria
Maria I love you
My Maria
Maria I love you

My Maria
Maria I love you

Brooks & Dunn - Indian summer

The tall weeds lay flat down
On the hard flat Kansas ground.
And a sad song in her head,
Kept goin' round.

She barely even knew his name,
But she liked the way he played the game.
Everybody cheered,
When he scored that last touchdown...

Indian Summer,
The wonder,
The hunger,
And the sound of distant thunder.
Indian Summer.

Tangled in a moment of truth.
Bottle of wine in a motel room.
Blue haze circled 'round
The cold gray moon.

While the wind chased the leaves outside.
Passion found a place to hide.
Late September heat,
Couldn't be denied.

Oh Indian Summer,
The wonder,
The hunger,
And the sound of distant thunder.
Indian Summer.

She never even finished school.
People like to talk, they can be so cruel.
Her California was a place,
To start brand new.

So she left that dust bowl town.
Sometimes we'll all know how.
I wonder where we'd be,
If i never scored that last
Touchdown.

Summer.
The wonder,
The hunger,
And the sound of distant thunder.
Indian Summer.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh woah!

Brooks & Dunn - Hard workin' man

I'm a hard workin' man
I wear a steel hard hat
I can ride, rope, hammer and paint
Do things with my hands that most men can't
I can't get ahead no matter how hard I try
I'm gettin' really good at barely gettin' by

Got everything I own
By the sweat of my brow
From my four-wheel drive to my cowboy boots
I owe it all to my blue collar roots
I feel like I'm workin' overtime on a runaway train
I've got to bust loose from this ball and chain

Chorus:
I'm a hard, hard workin man
I got it all on the line
For a peace of the promised land
I'm burnin' my candle at both ends
'Bout the only way to keep the fire goin'
Is to outrun the wind

Come Friday night
I like to party hard
I carry on with the Cadillac cuties
Spend my whole week's pay on some weekend beauty
Come Monday mornin' I'm the first to arrive
I ain't nothin' but business from nine till five

(Repeat chorus)

I can't wait to get up in the mornin'
And do it all over again
Well I'm a hard livin', hard workin' man

Brooks & Dunn - Brand new man

Chorus:
I saw the light
I've been baptised
By the fire in your touch
And the flame in your eyes
I'm born to love again
I'm a brand new man

Well the whole town's talking
'Bout the line I'm walking
That leads right to your door
Oh how I used to roam
I was a rolling stone

I used to have a wild side
They say a country-mile-wide
I'd burn those beer joints
down
That's all changed now
You turned my life around

Repeat Chorus

I used to love 'em and leave
'em
I'd brag about my freedom
How no one could tie me
down
Then I met you
Now my heart beats true

Baby you and me together
Feels more like forever
Than anything I've ever
known
We're right on track
I ain't looking back

Repeat Chorus 3 times

I'm born to love again
I'm a brand new man

Brooks & Dunn - Boot scootin' boogie

Out in the country past the city limits sign
Well there's a honky tonk near the county line
The joint starts jumpin everynight when the sun goes down
They got whiskey women music & smoke
It's where all the cowboy folk go to boot scootin' boogie

I've got a good job I work hard for my money
When it's quittin time I hit the door runnin'
I fire up my pickup truck & let the horses run
I go flyin' down that highway to that hide-a-way
Stuck out in the woods to do the boot scootin' boogie


Yeah, heel, toe, docie doe come on baby let's go boot scootin
Cadilac black jack, baby meet me outback we're gonna boogie
Oh get down, turn around go to town boot scootin' boogie

The bartender asks me says son what'll it be
I want a shot at that redhead yonder lookin' at me
The dance floors hoppin' & it's hotter than the fourth of July
I see outlaws, inlaws crooks & straights all out makin' it shake
Doin' the boot scootin' boogie

Yeah, heel, toe, docie doe come on baby let's go boot scootin
Cadilac black jack, baby meet me outback we're gonna boogie
Oh get down, turn around go to town boot scootin' boogie

Yeah, heel, toe, docie doe come on baby let's go boot scootin
Cadilac black jack, baby meet me outback we're gonna boogie
Oh get down, turn around go to town boot scootin' boogie

Brooks & Dunn - Believe

Old man Wrigley lived in that white house
Down the street where i grew up
Momma used to send me over with things
We struck a friendship up
I spent a few long summers out on his old porch swing

Says he was in the war when in the navy
Lost his wife, lost his baby
Broke down and asked him one time
How ya keep from going crazy
He said I'll see my wife and son in just a little while
I asked him what he meant
He looked at me and smiled, said

(Chorus)
I raise my hands, bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
They tell me that there's more to life than just what i can see
Oh i believe

Few years later i was off at college
Talkin' to mom on the phone one night
Getting all caught up on the gossip
The ins and outs of the small town life
She said oh by the way son, old man Wrigley's died.

Later on that night, i laid there thinkin' back
Thought 'bout a couple long-lost summers
I didn't know whether to cry or laugh
If there was ever anybody deserved a ticket to the other side
It'd be that sweet old man who looked me in the eye, said

(Chorus)
I raise my hands, bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
They tell me that there's more to life than just what i can see

I can't quote the book
The chapter or the verse
You can't tell me it all ends
In a slow ride in a hearse
You know I'm more and more convinced
The longer that i live
Yeah, this can't be
No, this can't be
No, this can't be all there is

(Chorus)
When I raise my hands, bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
They tell me that there's more to this than just what i can see
I believe
Oh, I
I believe
I believe
I believe
I believe

Brooks & Dunn - A man this lonely

A man this lonely
A man this blue
A man whose world's been torn in two
Needs somebody
With a heart that's true
A man this lonely needs a woman like you

Two arms this empty
Need someone to hold
A man this lost needs somewhere to go
When the nights go on forever
And the days do too
A man this lonely needs a woman like you

I'd lost hope
I was so far down
Here you come turning all that around
I'd come to think
Of love as a lie
All that's on my mind now
Is you by my side

A man this lonely
A man this blue
A man whose world's been torn in two
Needs somebody
With a heart that's true
A man this lonely needs a woman like you
A man this lonely needs a woman like you

Blake Shelton - 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 - Sunny in Seattle

When it's sunny in Seattle and it's snowing down in new Orleans
And them boys from Amarillo stop wearin them boots and jeans
When Memphis aint got the blues
That's when I'll stop lovin you

When it's sunny in Seattle and it's snowing down in new Orleans
Baby, I don't mind you askin
If there's gonna come a day
When I say goodbye

Maybe, I guess anything could happen
Buts it's as close to never
As your ever gonna find
When it's sunny in Seattle and it's snowing down in New Orleans
And them boys from Amarillo stop wearin those boots and jeans
When there's no tequila in Mexico
That's when I'm gonna let you go
When it's sunny in Seattle and it's snowing down in New Orleans

Darlin' Somethings wont ever change
My love is one of those things

When New York is a one horse town
That's when I wont need ya around
When it's sunny in Seattle and it's snowing down in New Orleans
When it's sunny in Seattle and it's snowing down in New Orleans

Blake Shelton - Nobody but me

Don't waste your time looking over your shoulder
Those loves from the past ain't getting no closer
When I look in my future you're all I can see
Don't go loving on nobody but me.

[Chorus:]
Nobody but me gonna love you like you ought to be loved on
Nobody but me gonna cry if you up and leave
You can do what you want to,
But I'm asking pretty please (Honey) Don't go loving on nobody but me.

I took my time to tell you how I feel
Just because I took so long don't mean that it isn't real
I ain't got no diamond, but I'm down on my knees
Don't go loving on nobody but me.

[Chorus:]
Nobody but me gonna love you like you ought to be loved on
Nobody but me gonna cry if you up and leave
You can do what you want to,
But I'm asking pretty please (Honey) Don't go loving on nobody but me.

[Chorus:]
Nobody but me gonna love you like you ought to be loved on
Nobody but me gonna cry if you up and leave
You can do what you want to,
But I'm asking pretty please (Honey) Don't go loving on nobody but me.

Don't go loving on nobody but me...

Blake Shelton - It ain't easy bein' me

There ought to be a town out there,
Named for how I feel.
Yeah I could be the mayor down there,
And say welcome to Sorryville.
It won't be on a map nowhere,
You might say that it doesn't exist,
But if you make enough wrong turns
It'd be hard to miss.

There ought to be a bridge somewhere
They could dedicate to me.
I'd probably come to the ceremony
With a can of gasoline;
Walk on over to the other side
And there I'd light a match
And sit and stare through the smoke and the flames
Wonderin' how I'm ever gonna get back.

Why do I do the things I do?
Was I born this way? Am I a self-made fool?
I shoot the lights and curse the dark;
I need your love but I break your heart;
And I know the words that'll bring you back,
But I don't say nothin' as I watch you pack.
I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be;
It ain't easy bein' me.

Ought to be a side show act for freaks like me;
Yeah I could be the star of the show
With my name on the marquee.
In a room with a big red button that says "Do Not Touch,"
And twice a day I'd mash it down
And you could watch me self-destruct.

Why do I do the things I do?
Was I born this way? Am I a self-made fool?
I shoot the lights and curse the dark;
I need your love but I break your heart;
And I know the words that'll bring you back,
But I don't say nothin' as I watch you pack.
I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be;
It ain't easy bein' me.

Blake Shelton - I don't care

[Verse:]
There she was;
Laughin', talkin', window shoppin' with a new guy.
And I'd heard about him.
I heard she found him right around when we said good-bye.

And I came real close and almost lost my temper.
But I bit my tongue, kept my cool, 'cause I remembered...

[Chorus:]
I don't care.
She don't matter.
I don't love her anymore, he can have her!
I don't know why it slips my mind,
I tell myself all the time;
Guess I forgot again for a second there;
That I don't care.

[Verse:]
Almost 10:00.
I should've known his car would still be parked in her drive.
Almost pulled in;
Knocked on her door and gave her a piece of my mind.

Oh, but I just kept on driving back to my place;
Wonderin' why I went so far out of my way when...

[Chorus:]
I don't care.
She don't matter.
I don't love her anymore, he can have her!
I don't know why it slips my mind,
I tell myself all the time;
Guess I forgot again for a second there;
That I don't care.

[Bridge:]
When I got home, the light was blinkin' on that old machine.
She said, "My brother's been in town, but he just left.
And, I miss you! Give me a ring."

[Chorus:]
I still care!
She's all that matters!
I still love her just like always, gotta have her.
I never got her off my mind, been hopin' she would call sometime.
I know it's late, to be drivin' over there, but I don't care!
I don't care.

Blake Shelton - Chances

Its two a.m
and this old bar is closing
He knows the partners
have been chosen
But in the corner both,
he spots lonely youth,
and he catches her eye

And he moves fast
and says my name is Steven
Guess I blew my chance
Since everyone is leaving
She stands up to go
never says hello
But she never says goodbye

Then she smiles and
leans her head back
towards the door
And as she takes his hand
His jaw falls to the floor

Now we all take chances
Every once in a while
We take chances
If its just to ease our minds
We all take chances
Wrong or right
Ah but sometimes chances
Take us by surprise

Morning light comes shining throw her window
She wakes just in time to hear him go
She curls up in bed
Hands on her head
Tears in her eyes

She relives the night they spend together
Shouts out loud "Lord knows I knew better!"
Then she hears a sound
slips on her gown
takes a look outside

With coffee and flowers
He walks toward the door
And as he says "Good Morning"
Her jaw falls to the floor

Now we all take chances
Every once in a while
We take chances
If it's just to ease our minds
We all take chances
Wrong or Right
Ah but sometimes chances
Take us by surprise

Yeah sometimes chances
Take us by surprise

mmm hmmm mmm mmmm mmm
