Wait out by the road I'm comin' to pick you up.

"Just Gettin' Started"


I knew the minute that I picked you up
It was gonna be a wild ride
You kissed me like you couldn't get enough
Barely made it out of your drive
Burn a little rubber at the red light
Got a little warnin' from the blue lights
It's only going on 9 o'clock but
Feels more like midnight

We ain't even turned up the radio
Ain't been two miles down the road
The way you look at me baby I don't know
If we even gonna make it to the party
Yeah we got a whole lotta moonlight left
Already havin' the time of our lives
And we just gettin' started tonight

Girl you already got the window down
And you got your seat laid back
Ain't even make it halfway to town
And you're already talkin' 'bout a six pack
Already got your shoes off
And you're talkin' 'bout slippin' off
Nah we ain't even found your friends
And you already wanna get lost

We ain't even turned up the radio
Ain't been two miles down the road
The way you look at me baby I don't know
If we even gonna make it to the party
Yeah we got a whole lotta moonlight left
Already havin' the time of our lives
And we just gettin' started tonight

Ain't had a drink and I'm tore up
Ain't even had a taste of your love
But girl the crazy thing is
We just gettin' warmed up

We ain't even turned up the radio
Ain't been two miles down the road
The way you look at me baby I don't know
If we even gonna make it to the party
Yeah we got a whole lotta moonlight left
Already havin' the time of our lives
And we just gettin' started tonight
And we just gettin' started tonight

"Just Passing Through"


Well I can hear that rooster crowin’ down the road
I felt my eyes open up real slow and I looked around
Makin’ sure I hadn’t checked out
Cause there was an angel lying next to me
And I figured heaven’s where I must be
Oh but it was you, and baby what else could I do
In that bed I said a little prayer,
For one more day I’m still here

[Chorus:]
It’s your world and I’m just in it
Ain’t no other way to spin it
Lucky me just being there when I get to hold you
I’m just here to love you girl
It’s your world and I’m just passing through

I dig in my heels and try to slow this down
I want my life to revolve around, everything you do
Oh but that’s all up to you
Everything good seems to go so fast
It’s kinda like one big party you crash you weren’t counting on
One day you’re here and gone
Baby all I wanna do is lay right here
And hope it all don’t disappear

[Chorus x2:]
It’s your world and I’m just in it
Ain’t no other way to spin it
Lucky me just being there when I get to hold you
I’m just here to love you girl
It’s your world and I’m just passing through

I’m just here to love you girl
It’s your world and I’m just passing through

"Keep The Girl"


This life is full of choices
Hard to make one
All the voices in my head
Those blue eyes I'm in love with
Or that highway which ever I pick
There'll be regrets

I go one way I lose everything
I go the other way same thing

I'm torn and it's tearing me apart
I want to go but I don't want to break her heart
Like a sword with a double edge blade
It's gonna cut deep either way
This little town, that big old world
Chase the dream or keep the girl

More than once I packed it all up
But I break down blame it on the truck
Just couldn't go
Just wanna be out there making my mark
Lay down every night in her arms

I'm torn and it's tearing me apart
I want to go but I don't want to break her heart
Like a sword with a double edge blade
It's gonna cut deep either way
This little town, that big old world
Chase the dream or keep the girl

I don't know why I can't have it all
Need to tear down that wall
Between this little town, that big old world
Go chase my dream and keep the girl

I'm torn and it's tearing me apart
I want to go but I don't want to break her heart
Like a sword with a double edge blade
It's gonna cut deep either way
This little town, that big old world
Chase my dream and keep the girl

I want it all, keep the girl, hey

"Keeping It Small Town"


Yeah we proud of that name painted up on that water tower
And that red dirt on the bottom of our boots
This place runs 35 miles an hour
And that hard work runs in our roots
Yeah we're all just backbone blue-collar people
Burning that Texaco black smoke diesel

Yeah we're keeping it small town, keeping it slow
Keep that dust stirred up on them ol' dirt roads
Yeah we keeping them girls up in them shotgun seats
Got that good stuff waiting on the end of the week

You can find us sun up to sun down yeah
Just keeping it small town
We're keeping it small town

Yeah we just trying to be 'bout half good as our daddies
Still trying to make a name of our own
Find a little girl you can roll with and
Ride with and make a good life with and
Love her til you're gone

We're just keeping it small town, keeping it slow
Keep that dust stirred up on them ol' dirt roads
Yeah we keeping them girls up in them shotgun seats
Got that good stuff waiting on the end of the week
It's the way we were raised and we ain't changing now
You can find us sun up to sun down yeah
Just keeping it small town
We're keeping it small town

Yeah we're all just backbone blue-collar people
Burning that Texaco black smoke diesel

Yeah we're keeping it small town, keeping it slow

"Laid Back"


Got a headlight circle, Chevrolets, Saturday night and a riverbank
Silver bullets poppin’, got my speakers rockin’
A feel good song that’ll take you back, watchin’ them pretty girls work that
Baby shake it just right, I could do this all night

"Laughed Until We Cried"


Going through my closet the other day
Found an old yearbook, flipped right to the page
Of that senior trip down there on that Panama strip
We all started yelling when we smelled the beach
Just couldn't wait to try our fake ids
We only had a few days, and a whole lot of memories to make
Oh man we were livin, didn't waste one minute
We talked and drank and danced and said goodbye
We laughed until we cried

This past year my family
Was sittin cross-legged 'round the Christmas tree
Listenin to granddad, we all knew it would probably be his last
He was crackin jokes and we were takin turns
Tellin stories bout fishing or lessons learned
Out on the porch with him we all felt like kids again

Oh man we were livin, sittin' there reminiscin'
Yeah, we sang and talked and traveled back in time
We laughed until we cried

It's like the best days under the sun
Every emotion rolled into one
A little of this, A little of that
Kinda happy, Kinda sad

Just the other night the baby was cryin
So I got out of bed rocked her awhile and I held her tight
And I told her it would be all right
My mind went back to a few years ago
We tried so long, we almost gave up hope
And I remember you comin' in and tellin me the news
Oh man we were livin, goin crazy in the kitchen
We danced and screamed and held each other tight
We laughed until we cried
(although, the cd cover says Oh man were livin I'll never forget it,
We danced and kissed and thanked the Lord that night)

"Lights Come On"


You're a crack of dawn Monday morning
Coffee strong pouring everything you got
Into a paycheck Friday night
You're a power stroke diesel backhoe riding
King of beers 18-wheeler driving
Livin' life in-between the lines of clocking in and quittin' time
Then the 6-string circus comes to town
We hang them speakers over the crowd

When the lights come on and everybody's screamin'
Lighters in the sky yeah everybody's singin'
Every word to every song
To the girl they're takin' home tonight
When the lights come on and everybody's feelin'
A hallelujah high from the floor to the ceiling
Yeah the drink that we're drinking the smoke that we're smoking
The party we're throwin's goin' all night long
When the lights come on
When the lights come on

You're a little shy thing with a wild side on a night like this it just can't hide 'Cause it's dyin' to live it up so come on and raise your cup
If we talkin' 'bout memories yeah we gonna make 'em
Talkin' 'bout rules you know we gonna break 'em

When the lights come on and everybody's screamin'
Lighters in the sky yeah everybody's singin'
Every word to every song
To the girl they're takin' home tonight
When the lights come on and everybody's feelin'
A hallelujah high from the floor to the ceiling
Yeah the drink that we're drinking the smoke that we're smoking
The party we're throwin's goin' all night long
When the lights come on
When the lights come on

Yeah we all the same 'cause we thinkin' the same thing
We on the same page 'cause we sippin' the same drink
Here's a little something to thank y'all for showing up
Aldean and the boys about to blow it up

When the lights come on and everybody's screamin'
Lighters in the sky yeah everybody's singin'
Every word to every song
To the girl they're takin' home tonight
When the lights come on and everybody's feelin'
A hallelujah high from the floor to the ceiling
Yeah the drink that we're drinking the smoke that we're smoking
The party we're throwin's goin' all night long
When the lights come on
When the lights come on

Boy's blowin' it up
It's goin all night long
When the lights come on

 

[fox69]

"Like You Were Mine"


I blew right past that city limit sign
Into that little town we used to own
The co-op and the quick stop were all boarded up
And those yellow lines faded on the road

Man I swear I can still hear you singing
Like an angel through my Chevy stereo
Oh every turn, every street, I drop down a memory
You're everywhere we used to go

I still look for your car
I still stop at the bar on the weekend, drinking too much Crown
I'm still chasing the buzz, yeah that used to be us
Keeps me up like we're still going down
Still feeling you like you never said goodbye
Like you were mine

Sometimes this tinker back truck
Talks me into burning gas
Past your house
A little south where the gravel runs out
But it never brings you back

I still look for your car
I still stop at the bar on the weekend, drinking too much Crown
I'm still chasing the buzz, yeah that used to be us
Keeps me up like we're still going down
Still feeling you like you never said goodbye
Baby, like you were mine

Oh yeah, still feels you're mine
Man I swear I can still hear you singing
Like an angel through my Chevy stereo
Oh every turn, every street, I drop down a memory
You're everywhere we used to go

I still look for your car
I still stop at the bar on the weekend, drinking too much Crown
I'm still chasing the buzz, yeah that used to be us
Keeps me up like we're still going down
Still feeling you like you never said goodbye
Baby, like you were mine
Yeah it still feels like you're mine

Man I swear I can still hear you singing
Like an angel through my Chevy stereo
Oh every turn, every street, I drop down a memory
You're everywhere we used to go

"Lonesome USA"


Drove half way to town last night an' I turned around,
In a field of fireflies makin' such a lonely sound.
As my headlights flashed on a mailbox by the road,
I realized that I was livin' in a new zip code.

Well, I'm livin' in Lonesome, USA...
Population one since yesterday.
Livin' and dyin' in the hell I made since you been gone.
Right now, my mind's in another state;
Ain't enough heart here left to break.
I'm livin' in Lonesome, Lonesome, USA.

I never knew the sound of silence could be so loud.
It's hard getting used to livin' in an empty house.
Yeah, I know I can come an' go any time I please,
But there's somethin' I miss about you waitin' up on me.

Well, I'm livin' in Lonesome, USA...
Population one since yesterday.
Livin' and dyin' in the hell I made since you been gone.
Right now, my mind's in another state;
Ain't enough heart here left to break.
I'm livin' in Lonesome, Lonesome, USA.

Hey, I could drive all night an' be right here where I am,
And still be just as lost till you come back.
Hey, I look around here an' it don't take long to see,
Oh, where I am right now's no place to be.

[Instrumental Break]

Lonesome, USA...
Population one since yesterday.
Livin' and dyin' in the hell I made since you been gone.
Right now, my mind's in another state;
Ain't enough heart here left to break.
I'm livin' in Lonesome, Lonesome, USA.
Hey, I'm livin' in Lonesome, Lonesome USA.
Hey, I'm livin' in Lonesome, Lonesome USA.
