"American Saturday Night"

"American Saturday Night"



Woahhhhh woahhhhhhh
Shes got Brazilian leather boots on the pedal of her German car
Listen to the Beatles singing back in the USSR
Yeah shes goin around the world tonight
But she ain't leavin here
Shes just going to meet her boyfriend down at the street fair

It's a french kiss, italian ice
Spanish moss in the moonlight
Just another American Saturday night

There's a big toga party tonight down at Delta Chi
They've got Canadian bacon on their pizza pie
They've got a cooler full of cold Coronas and Amstel light
It's like were all livin' in a big ol' cup
Just fire up the blender, mix it all up

It's a French kiss, Italian ice
Margaritas in the moonlight (woahhhh)
Just another American Saturday night

You know everywhere has something they're known for
Although usually it washes up on our shores
My great great great granddaddy stepped off of that ship
I bet he never ever dreamed we'd have all this

You know everywhere has somethin' they're known for
Although usually it washes up on our shores
Little Italy, Chinatown, sittin' there side by side
Live from New York, It's Saturday Night!

It's a French kiss, Italian ice,
Spanish moss in the moonlight
Just another American, just another American,
Its just another American Saturday night

"Anything Like Me"

"Anything Like Me"



I remember sayin' I don't care either way
Just as long as he or she is healthy I'm OK
Then the doctor pointed to the corner of the screen
And said, "You see that thing right there, well, you know what that means."

I started wondering who he was gonna be
And I thought, "Heaven, help us if he's anything like me."

He'll probably climb a tree too tall and ride his bike too fast
End up every summer wearing something in a cast
He's gonna throw a ball and break some glass in a window down the street

He's gonna get in trouble oh he's gonna get in fights
I'm gonna lose my temper and some sleep

It's safe to say that
I'm gonna get my pay back
If he's anything like me

I can see him right now, knees all skinned up
With a magnifying glass trying to melt the Tonka truck
Won't he be a sight with his football helmet on
That'll be his first love 'til his first love comes along

He'll get his heart broke by the time he's in his teens
And heaven help him if he's anything like me

He'll probably stay out too late and drive his car too fast
Get a speeding ticket he'll pay for mowing grass
He's gonna get caught skipping class and be grounded for a week

He's gonna get in trouble, we're gonna get in fights
I'm gonna lose my temper and some sleep

It's safe to say that
I'm gonna get my pay back
If he's anything like me

He's gonna love me and hate me along the way
Years are gonna fly by I already dread the day

He's gonna hug his momma, he's gonna shake my hand
He's gonna act like he can't wait to leave

But as he drives out
He'll cry his eyes out
If he's anything like me

There's worse folks to be like
Oh, he'll be alright
If he's anything like me

"Away In A Manger"

"Away In A Manger"



Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes
I love thee, Lord Jesus look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle until morning is nigh
Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care
And take us to heaven to live with thee there

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

"Be The Lake"

"Be The Lake"



There ain't nothing I would rather see
Than you drying off on this dock
I've been thinking, it's so good to be me
But girl, on second thought

Wish I could be the beach towel that you laid down on
Or that two-piece that's fitting you so right, it's wrong
Or the sunshine kissing on your skin
Wish I could be the lake that you're swimming in

Well, I'm hiding behind these Ray-Ban shades
Staring at you like I do
I'm right here beside you and it's killing me
'Cause I can't get close enough to you

Wish I could be the beach towel that you laid down on
Or that two-piece that's fitting you so right, it's wrong
Or the sunshine kissing on your skin
Wish I could be the lake that you're swimming in

Or maybe that book you laid on your chest
When you drift off like you do
Or maybe that 25 SPF
You keep rubbing all over you

Wish I could be the beach towel that you laid down on
Or that two-piece that's fitting you so right, it's wrong
Or the sunshine kissing on your skin
Wish I could be the lake that you're swimming in
Wish I could be the lake that you're swimming in

"Beat This Summer"

"Beat This Summer"




Oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-ho

Like the Ferris wheel goes around and around
Well the trouble with up is there's always a down
First I'm holding your hand and we're on the boardwalk
There's heaven right here on these streets and these docks

But the sun keeps settin', the days go fast
And the sand on the beach is like an hourglass
I can just feel it all slipping away
And babe I can already say that

As long I live, whatever I do
As great as it is, you know what's a bummer
I ain't ever gonna beat this summer with you
Baby it's true
The taste of your kiss is so bittersweet
I ain't gonna beat, no way I'm gonna beat this summer with you

Before you know it it's all gonna stop
They'll be rolling up windows and puttin' up tops
Be a cold wind blowin' the leaves through the air
And you won't find a tan line anywhere (anywhere)

Baby I know that it ain't over yet
So let's make the most of what we have left
But it's hard living for this moment we're in and
Knowing it's all gonna end…

As long I live, whatever I do (Whatever I do)
As great as it is, you know what's a bummer
I ain't ever gonna beat this summer with you
Baby it's true
The taste of your kiss is so bittersweet
I ain't gonna beat, no way I'm gonna beat this summer with you

Yeah looking at you, girl, standing there
Got your wayfarers on and the sun in your hair
And just like the song in a seashell, you'll be stuck in my mind
Bouncing around in my head
And baby I can tell

As long I live, whatever I do (Whatever I do)
As great as it is, you know what's a bummer
I ain't ever gonna beat this summer with you
Baby it's true
The taste of your kiss is so bittersweet
I ain't gonna beat, no way I'm gonna beat this summer with you

"Better Than This"

"Better Than This"



That sleepy little campfire poppin kinda crackling
We were Heating up the pork and beans
Bubu said man it don't get any better than this
If you know what I mean
We sat there for a minute listening to the crickets
Thinkin this is pretty hard to beat
Til Jr stood up spit in the fire
Said boys I hate to disagree

But if a bus load of women, really good looking women,
Just suddenly pulled in here
Old Joe t Garcia showed up with fajitas and a 100 gallon keg of beer and Haggard dropped by
And brought Willie with him
And they started taking requests
Well don't get me wrong boys this is pretty good
But it could get better than this

Bill Dance and Hank Parker floated by in a boat
And volunteered to be our fishing guides
And Richard petty pulled up in the old '43 car
And asked us if we wanted a ride
We'd all sit around singin poncho and l

Lefty playing poker and smoking big cigars
Now don't take offense y'all I'm perfectly content
Just sittin here under the stars

But if a bus load of women, really good lookin women,
Just suddenly pulled in here
And Old emril degasi showed up with kilbasi
And a 100 gallon keg of beer
If Haggard dropped by and brought willie with him
And they started taking requests
Don't get me wrong boys this is pretty good
But it could get better than this

But if a bus load of women, really good lookin women,
Just suddenly pulled in here
And little Jimmy Dickets showed up with fried chicken
And a 100 gallon keg of beer
Mearl Haggard dropped by and brought willie with him
And they started taking requests
Don't get me wrong boys this is pretty good
But it could get better that this

"Bigger Fish To Fry"

"Bigger Fish To Fry"


I said a bad word when I was a kid
Mamma said that I'd be sorry for the sin that I did
My daddy whooped me and the preacher said shame
And I tried like hell to change.

[Chorus:]
But I cuss, I smoke, I laugh at dirty jokes
The minor voices, man I know 'em well
I've closed down bars, I've lusted in my heart
My ex's think I ougta burn in hell
But the devil he won't notice when I die
Don't you figure he's got bigger fish to fry.

Politicians taking pork barrel bribes
Crooked CEOs are getting off with no time
Christmas Eve burglers stealing good children's toys, (can't say Christmas)
Holiday burglers stealing good children's toys.

[Chorus:]
I cuss, I smoke, I laugh at dirty jokes
The minor voices, man I know 'em well
I've closed down bars, I've lusted in my heart
My ex think I ougta burn in hell
But the devil won't even notice when I die
Yeah don't you figure he's got bigger fish to fry.

Yeah there's gonna be bonfire burning
An everlasting barbecue.
But with all the bad stuff going on
There ain't gonna be room for me and you.

'Cause we cuss, we smoke, ee laugh at Tater's jokes.
[Spoken]
Tell one Jim. You know you're old when your wife says honey
let's run upstairs and make love
And your answer is "I cannot do both."
The minor voices, man we know 'em well
We've closed down bars, we've lusted in our hearts
Our ex's think we ougta burn in hell
But the devil he won't notice when we die
Hey, don't you figure he's got bigger fish to fry

Yeah, don't you figure he's got bigger fish to fry
Pass the tartar sauce.

When we all get to heaven what a day of rejoicing it will be...

"Born On Christmas Day"

"Born On Christmas Day"


It was a cold and dark December night
But a star still lit the sky
Away in a manger you heard a baby cry
It was the cry of the Son of God
A little baby boy
Born in that manger to bring the world joy

[1st Chorus]
So hush up little baby
You know not what you'll do
You'll bring the world peace and love
And teach them while you do
You have nothing to fear because you know
God is with you all the way
That little important baby
Born on Christmas day

Many people soon gathered round that tiny run down barn
They knew not of what they saw
Then came three all dressed in fancy robes, silks and furs
This was the first indication of the importance of his birth

[2nd Chorus]
So hush up little baby
You know not what you'll do
You'll bring the world peace and love
And teach them while you do
You have nothing to fear because you know
God will lead the way
That little important baby
Born on Christmas day

We expected a soldier to save us from our plight
All dressed in shiny armor, ready for a fight
But instead he sent a little baby boy
All filled with love happiness
To bring the world joy

[3rd Chorus]
So hush up little baby
You know not what you'll do
You'll bring the world peace and love
And teach them while you do
You have nothing to fear because you know
God will lead the way
That little important baby
Born on Christmas day
That little important baby
Born on Christmas day

"Camouflage"

"Camouflage"



Kevin wasn't really all that popular in school
But I remember well the day I thought now that guy's pretty cool
He pulled into the parking lot and everybody cheered
Because he had gone and painted his entire Chevy Cavalier camouflage

Camouflage it disappears when it pulls out of his garage
Camouflage-camouflage

I asked Jenny to the prom and her mom knew how to sew
So she made a matching tux and gown from Duck Blind Mossy Oak
We took pictures in the backyard before we went to the dance
And the only thing that you can see is our faces and our hands

Camouflage,
Camouflage you should've seen the way it popped with her corsage
Camouflage, camouflage, ain't nothing that doesn't go with camouflage

You can blend in in the country
You can stand out in the fashion world
Be invisible to a white tail, irresistible to a redneck girl

Camouflage, camouflage
Oh you're my favorite color camouflage

You can blend in in the country
You can stand out in the fashion world
Be invisible to a white tail, irresistible to a redneck girl

Well the stars and bars offend some folks and I guess I see why
Nowadays there's still a way to show your southern pride
The only thing as patriotic is the old red white and blue
Is green and gray and black and brown and tan all over too

Camouflage, camouflage
Designed by Mother Nature and by God

It's camouflage, camouflage
Oh you're my favorite color camouflage

"Catch All The Fish"

"Catch All The Fish"



I filled up two shopping carts late last night
The one was full of fishing gear, the other Miller Lite

The checkout-lady laughed and said 'You think you got enough'
And I said 'Yeah, You're probably right', and filled another two carts up

Gonna catch all the fish
Gonna drink all the beer
Gonna head outta town
We're not staying here
Might take all day
Might take all year
Till we catch all the fish
Till we drink all the beer

So I picked up the boys at dawn and we were on our way
It hadn't been ten minutes before Jimmy's cellphone rang
His old lady asked him how we'd be on the lake
And I said You tell her 'We're staying here however long it takes'

Gonna catch all the fish
Gonna drink all the beer
Better warn her now
Better make it clear
Might take all day
Might take all year
Till we catch all the fish
Till we drink all the beer

Just as long as there's a can left in that cooler
Just as long as there's a bass left in that lake
That just means we still got some work to do here
Just as long as there's still gas left in that tank

As long as there's a can left in that cooler
As long as there's a bass left in that lake
That just means that we still got some work to do here
As long as there's still gas left in that tank

Well, we caught all the fish
And we drank all the beer
And we ran outta gas
Now we're stuck out here
With lots of emtpy cans
And worthless fishing gear
Cause we drank all the fish
And we caught all the beer
Well, I mean we caught all the fish
And drank all the beer
