"Ain't Back Yet"

"Ain't Back Yet"



I heard a song 'bout a ramblin' man
Bought a guitar and I started a band
I got a gig at the local Am Vet
I was gone and I ain't back yet

'69 bored, out and jacked up
A quarter mile that was all it was
I burned the cool off of that Corvette
And I was gone and I ain't back yet

Lookin' back at the moments, black and white
I wouldn't change a thing that changed my life
For the worse, for the better
Man, I was gone, gone forever

She was a cut offs pepper sauce queen
Man, we were matches and gasoline
First taste of love never will forget
I was gone and I ain't back yet
I was gone, gone and I ain't back yet

Lookin' back at the moments, black white

I wouldn't change a thing that changed my life
For the worse, for the better
Man, I was gone, gone forever
The laughs, the smiles, the trials, the tears
It's hard to hate what got me here
What got me here

She was a straight out of Hollywood smile
We missed it all by a country mile
Went out one night for some cigarettes
And I was gone and I ain't back yet

I was gone, gone and I ain't back yet
I was gone and I ain't back
Ain't back, ain't back yet

I was gone and I ain't back yet
I was gone and I ain't back yet
I was gone, gone and I ain't back yet

"Ain't That Love"

"Ain't That Love"



I will always remember
The first time that we met
And the first time that I kissed your lips
Is a thing I won't forget
The special way you held me
Is the way you hold me still
And I knew right then that you loved me
And I know you always will

Ain't that love
Ain't that how it's supposed to be
When two hearts come together as one
Just like you and me
Ain't that love
Shining in your eyes
Heaven sent from up above
Ain't that love

My grandma and grandpa
My momma and my dad
Didn't have a lot of things
But love is what they had
Their love kept them together
Through the many years
Though life was hard
They shared it all
Through the laughter and the tears

Ain't that love
Ain't that how it's supposed to be
When two hearts come together as one
Just like you and me
Ain't that love
Shining in your eyes
Heaven sent from up above
Ain't that love

Baby you're the sunshine
That brightens up my day
And I will always stand by you
Darlin' come what may
And I will always love you
To have and to hold
And I'll keep my every promise to you
With this band of gold

Ain't that love
Ain't that how it's supposed to be
When two hearts come together as one
Just like you and me
Ain't that love
Shining in your eyes
Heaven sent from up above
Ain't that love

Heaven sent from up above
Ain't that love

"All I Need To Know"

"All I Need To Know"



With a little luck this ol' truck will get me home today
With a little more I'll still have this job tomorrow
Weather man says a wet weekend he just might be right
But rain or shine you'll be mine tonight

That's all I need to know
In a world where most things come and go
I'll always have you to hold
And that's all I need to know

Heaven knows I ain't even close to bein' God's gift to women
But in your arms I feel like I am
I don't know it all, I sure can't solve
The problems of the human race
But I know how to bring a smile to your face

That's all I need to know
In a world where most things come and go
I'll always have you to hold
And that's all I need to know

Darlin', say it one more time
You will forever be mine

That's all I need to know
In a world where most things come and go
I'll always have you to hold
And that's all I need to know
I'll always have you to hold
That's all I need to know

"Always Gonna Be You"

"Always Gonna Be You"



I could jump on some ol' highway
Run a thousand miles or more
Unlock some hidden mystery
Behind a distant door
I could sail the seven oceans
Til I crawl upon some long forgotten shore

But it's always gonna be you
Always gonna be you I'm lookin' for

I could climb a hundred mountains
Leave a hard ol' world behind
Wander right across some prairie
Like a man out of his mind
I could walk and stare into the sun
Let it all just burn me deaf and blind
But it's always gonna be you...
Always gonna be you I'm tryin' to find

Where does a man go for redemption
Where does he take a broken heart
Shouldn't there be some small exemption
If he does all that it takes
To admit to his mistakes
Til the truth batters and breaks his world apart

I could ask for my forgiveness
From the heavens high above
Tell myself my prayers are gonna somehow be enough
And lay down in some angels bed
Convinced I've found the one I'm dreamin' of
But it's always gonna be you...
Always gonna be you that I love.

Where does a man seek his salvation?
When does his mind finally go free?
Is the pain he feels the only explanation...
For believing lies are true
For the stone inside his shoe
The endless ways the years keep haunting me...

I could find an empty church
Get down on my knees
Tell myself the mercy
Is a matter of degrees
Then lay down in some angel's arms
Convinced I've found the one I'm dreamin' of
But it's always gonna be you...
Always gonna be you that I love

Always gonna be you... that I love
...that I love...

"American Kids"

"American Kids"


Doublewide Quick Stop midnight T-top
Jack in her Cherry Coke town
Momma and daddy put their roots right here
'Cause this is where the car broke down
Yellow dog school bus kickin' up red dust
Pickin' us up by a barbed wire fence
MTV on the RCA, no A/C in the vents

We were Jesus save me, blue jean baby
Born in the USA
Trailer park truck stop, faded little map dots
New York to LA
We were teenage dreamin', front seat leanin'
Baby, come give me a kiss
Put me on the cover of the Rolling Stone
Uptown down home American kids
Growin' up in little pink houses
Makin' out on living room couches
Blowin' that smoke on Saturday night
A little messed up, but we're all alright

Baptist church parkin' lot, tryin' not to get caught
Take her home and give her your jacket
Makin' it to second base, but sayin' you went all the way
Monday afternoon at practice
Sister's got a boyfriend daddy doesn't like
Now he's sittin' out back, 3030 in his lap
In the blue bug zapper light

We were Jesus save me, blue jean baby
Born in the USA
Trailer park truck stop, faded little map dots
New York to LA
We were teenage dreamin', front seat leanin'
Baby, come give me a kiss
Put me on the cover of the Rolling Stone
Uptown down home American kids
Growin' up in little pink houses
Makin' out on living room couches
Blowin' that smoke on Saturday night
A little messed up, but we're all alright

"Angel Loved The Devil"

"Angel Loved The Devil"



I was lost in the wild side of life
I was blinded by smoke and neon lights
I was drinkin' and sinkin'
Without a prayer
Then she showed up
Right out of thin air

She took me to heaven
Oh my Lord, what a ride
And I've never been higher
On her love I could fly
I was hell bound
On my way down
Then I found what I need
Oh, an angel loved the devil out of me

I thank God for her love each day
He saved me
When he sent her my way
Now each night
I drive by those neon lights
And go home to my own paradise

Where she takes me to heaven
Oh my Lord, what a ride
and I've never been higher
On her love I could fly
I was hell bound
On my way down
Then I found what I need
Oh, an angel loved the devil out of me

Oh yes she did
An angel loved the devil out of me

"Another Friday Night"

"Another Friday Night"



Gonna cash my check before the drive-thru closes
Get my baby a couple Quick Sack roses
Put $5 worth of gas in my pride and joy
Another Friday night in the life of a country boy

Gonna take her out to the Tasty Freeze then
We'll go dancin' at the American Legion
When ole Bobby does Elvis
You'll swear it was the real mccoy
Another Friday night in the life of a country boy

Aww there ain't much to do
In this one life town
But we don't let that
Slow us down
If it's too quiet
We make our own noise
Now you can bet your boots
By the end of the week
My pretty little girl
Is ready for me
Another Friday night in the life of a country boy

When we've had enough of that shakin' and a-shoutin'
We go fog up the windows in the Smoky Mountains
We have more fun than a couple of tourists and a Polaroid
Another Friday night in the lift of a country boy

Aww there ain't much to do
In this one life town
But we don't let that
Slow us down
If it's too quiet
We make our own noise
Now you can bet your boots
By the end of the week
My pretty little girl
Is ready for me
Another Friday night in the life of a country boy

Another Friday night in the life of a country boy

"Anything But Mine"

"Anything But Mine"



Walking alone beneath the lights of that miracle mile,
Me and Mary making our way into the night,
You can hear the cries from the carnival rides,
The pinball bills, skee ball slides,
Watching the summer sun fall out of sight,
There's a warm wind coming in from off of the ocean
Making it's way past the hotel walls to fill the streets
Mary is holding both of her shoes in her hands
Said she likes to feel the sand beneath her feet

And in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland
So tonight I hope that I will do just fine
And I don't see how you could ever be anything but mine

There's a local band playing at the sea side pavilion
And I got just enough cash to get us in
And as we are dancing Mary's wrapping her arms around me
And I can feel the sting of summer on my skin
In the midst of the music I tell her I love her,
We both laugh cause we know it isn't true
But Mary there's a summer drawing to an end tonight
And there's so much that I long to do to you

But in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland
So tonight I hope that I will do just fine
And I don't see how you could ever be anything but mine

Ooooooooo...

And in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland
So tonight I hope that I will do just fine
And I don't see how you could ever be anything but mine

Mary I don't see how you could ever be anything but mine

Ooooooooooo... ooooooooooooooo...

... And in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland
So tonight I hope that I will do just fine
Hey, I don't see how you could ever be anything but mine

"Back In My Arms Again"

"Back In My Arms Again"



People always say that hindsight's 20/20
When it comes to mistakes in love, girl I got plenty
But the one that sticks out the most in my mind
Is the night I left you standing on the front porch crying
Living for the day I could make it all up to you

Til your back in my arms, back in my arms again
Til your back in my arms, I'll be oh lonesome 'til then
Now honey I wont' eat, I won't even sleep
I'll be walking these soles off of both of my feet
Til your back in my arms, back in my arms again

Well I'm getting to know this old town like never before
Walking every street, knocking on every door
Girl, whereever you are, I want you back
I love you baby, and I'm sure 'bout that
Whatever it takes, there's nothing that I won't do

Til your back in my arms, back in my arms again
Til your back in my arms, I'll be oh lonesome 'til then
Now honey I wont' eat, I won't even sleep
I'll be walking these soles off of both of my feet
Til your back in my arms, back in my arms again

I must have been a fool, I confess
To ever let you go, now I ain't gonna rest

Til your back in my arms, back in my arms again
Til your back in my arms, I'll be oh lonesome 'til then
Now honey I wont' eat, I won't even sleep
I'll be walking these soles off of both of my feet
Til your back in my arms, back in my arms again

"Back Where I Come From"

"Back Where I Come From"


Well in the town where I was raised,
the clock ticked and the cattle grazed
Time passed with amazing grace,
Back where I come from

You can lie on a river bank,
paint your name on a water tank
Miscount all the beers you drank,
Back where I come from

[Chorus]

Back where I come from
Where I'll be when its said and done
I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from

We learned in Sunday school,
who made the sun shine through
I know who made the moon shine too,
Back where I come from

Blue eyes on a Saturday night,
tan legs in the broad daylight
TV's they were black and white,
Back where I come from

[Chorus]

Back where I come from
Where I'll be when its said and done
I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from

Some say it's a backward place,
narrow minds on a narrow wage
But I make it a point to say,
that's where I come from

[Chorus]

Back where I come from
Where I'll be when its said and done
I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from

That's where I come from
I'm an old Tennessean
Well Im proud as anyone

That's where I come from
