"Don't It"

"Don't It"



13 in the thick of a cornfield
I learned to fight, keep roads tied, and not chill
Never did change, stayed strange, hopped a train
My first chance I got out of SmallVille
Life has it's way of movin' you on, don't it?

My first stop was a pawn shop
Dropped a pretty penny for a cheap fender with a song in it
I had a quick right hand, and an old band
I thought good friends would make a good band
Life has it's way of provin' you wrong, don't it?

I've been right and I've been wrong
Somewhere in between for so long
Live the night, miss the light, and I've been shown it
Life has it's way of keepin' you strong, don't it?

So there I was, a long way from nowhere
Fried mind, spare time and a blank stare
I was just numb enough not to feel a thang
After all we didn't share a set of rings
Besides, how bad could it be!
She never found out I'd never come clean
Life has it's way of leadin' you on, don't it?

I've been right and I've been wrong
Somewhere in between for so long
Live the night, miss the light, and I've been shown it
Life has it's way of keepin' you strong, don't it?

Well now, have you ever been down the old back road?
On time borrowed
It's a trip, it's a bitch, it's an on and off light switch
Nobody follows
Everybody's got their own past
Skeletons to stash, don't look back if you do laugh
Life has it's way of movin' you on, don't it?

"Down The Road"
(feat. Mac McAnally)

"Down The Road"
(feat. Mac McAnally)



When I was a boy

Four houses down from me
Was a family with an only child
She was the only girl
In this whole world that could make me smile

Down the road
I made up reasons to go
Down the road

Somewhere inside of me
There was something she took a liking to
And I asked her to marry me
She said she really wanted to

Down the road
To see what life's gonna hold
Down the road

Her momma wants to know
If I'm washed in the blood or just in the water
Her daddy wants to know
If I make enough to take his daughter

Down the road
Before he can let her go
Down the road

Now down the street from here
There's an engineer with an only son
And our baby girl says
She believes that he is the only one

Down the road

Her momma wants to know
Is he washed in the blood or just in the water
And I wanna know
That he makes enough to take my daughter

Down the road
When it comes time to go
Down the road

Down the road
You know I wanna help her go
Down the road

Down, down, down that road

Down, down, down that road

"Dreams"

"Dreams"



She says most men her age want younger women.
She thinks her self esteem's not quite itself any more.
But she sees herself as more than what the mirror shows,
Why that's so important, heaven only knows.
When the important part for her is,
Souls and heart's sayin':

Dreams of sharin' a life and a home.
(Dreams.)
Of never ever bein' alone again.
(Dreams.)
Not even diamonds, just a little gold.
Someone there to hold her hand when she gets old.
Dreams, the kind you know will never end.
Forever lovers and forever friends.
Someone really there, to love and care, and share,
Dreams.

She swears she won't divorce her time.
She swears the more she knows about love, the harder it is to find.
Her perfect picture of her white horse prince,
Is now dependent, dirty and promises,
Someone kind and brave.
Soemone not afraid of:

(Dreams.)
Of never ever bein' alone again.
(Dreams.)
Not even diamonds, just a little gold.
Someone there to hold her hand when she gets old.
Dreams, the kind you know will never end.
Forever lovers and forever friends.
Someone really there, to love and care, and share,
Dreams.

Oh, Dreams, the kind you know will never end.
Forever lovers, forever friends.
Someone really there, to love and care, and share,
Dreams.

She says most men her age want younger women.

"Drink It Up"

"Drink It Up"



Drink it up, don't waste a drop
Squeeze every second out of that old clock
Kick it back man, enjoy the ride
Keep living every day like it's Saturday night

Cause you only get so much lightning in the bottle
Only so many times you get to feel like this
Light it up, burn it out, that's what life's all about
Man, you can't just take a little sip, fill your cup, drink it up
Oh, drink it up

Let it roll, let the big wheels turn
Sling a little gravel going through those curves
You and me, we've gotta soak it in
Keep it cranking like this party's gonna never end

Cause you only get so much lightning in the bottle
Only so many times you get to feel like this
Light it up, burn it out, that's what life's all about
Man, you can't just take a little sip, fill your cup, drink it up
Oh, drink it up

Get it while you can, take it to the limit
Live out every single minute while you're in it

Cause you only get so much lightning in the bottle
Only so many times you get to feel like this
Light it up, burn it out, that's what life's all about
Man, you can't just take a little sip, fill your cup

Cause you only get so much lightning in the bottle
Only so many times you get to feel like this
Light it up, burn it out, that's what life's all about
Man, you can't just take a little sip, fill your cup, drink it up
Oh, drink it up
Come on and drink it up

"El Cerrito Place"

"El Cerrito Place"



I been hangin' round this place, I been lookin' through your space
I been waitin' for you, I've been waitin' for you
All the places that you go, all the people that you know
I've been lookin' for you, I've been lookin' for you

And all these pretty people up on El Cerrito Place
They all got somethin' in their pockets, all got somethin' on their face
They roll down to La Brea where it meets the boulevard
Singin' hallelujah while they dance over the stars
They all say they're goin' far

Me I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby
I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby
All night long, all night long, all night long

Someone said they might have seen you where the ocean meets the land
So I've been out here all night lookin' for your footprints in the sand
Did you hear the ocean singing, baby did you sing along
While you danced out in the water to some ol' forgotten song,
Were you even here at all?

Me I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby
I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby
All night long, all night long, all night long

Somehow I wound up in the desert just after daylight
Where the Joshua Trees grow that little place you always liked
These pioneer town people ain't got too much to say
And if you ever were here baby they ain't givin' you away

Now it's been two days
I'm still lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby
I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby
All night long, all night long, all night long

And all these pretty people up on El Cerrito Place
They all got somethin' in their pockets, all got somethin' on their face

Someone said they might have seen you where the ocean meets the land
So I've been out here all night lookin' for your footprints in the sand

Think I'll go back to the city, back to El Cerrito Place
That's the last time that I saw that pretty smile upon your face
I've been lookin' for you baby

"Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven"
(feat. The Wailers)

"Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven"
(feat. The Wailers)



Preacher told me last Sunday mornin'
Son, you better start livin' right
You need to quit the women and whiskey
And carrying on all night

Don't you wanna hear him call your name
When you're standin' at the pearly gates
I told the preacher, "Yes I do"
But I hope they don't call today
I ain't ready

Everybody wants to go to heaven
Have a mansion high above the clouds
Everybody want to go to heaven
But nobody want to go now

Said preacher maybe you didn't see me
Throw an extra twenty in the plate
There's one for everything I did last night
And one to get me through today
Here's a ten to help you remember
Next time you got the good Lord's ear
Say I'm comin' but there ain't no hurry
I'm havin' fun down here
Don't you know that

Everybody wants to go to heaven
Get their wings and fly around
Everybody want to go to heaven
But nobody want to go now

Someday I want to see those streets of gold in my halo
But I wouldn't mind waiting at least a hundred years or so

Everybody wanna go to heaven
It beats the other place there ain't no doubt
Everybody wanna go to heaven
But nobody wanna go now

Everybody wanna go to heaven
Hallelujah, let me hear you shout
Everybody wanna go to heaven
But nobody wanna go now
I think I speak for the crowd

"Everywhere We Go"

"Everywhere We Go"



Well I just found this old picture in my wallet
Of you and me, down in Mexico
Just look at us there on that beach, on that blanket
That look on our face says all you need to know

Seems like everywhere we go baby love goes everywhere
Everytime our hearts meet love is all around us
Every road we take darlin' love takes
Every turn, livin' right inside us
I believe love goes
Everywhere we go

Sometimes I dream, we're alone on an island
Nowhere to go, we don't want to leave
All that we have is a world full of time
We spend it all on you and me
It's all that we need

Seems like everywhere we go baby love goes everywhere
Everytime our hearts meet, love is all around us
Every road we take, darlin' love takes
Every turn, livin' right inside us
I believe love goes
Everywhere we go

I'm so alive when I'm near you
This fire in my heart lights the world when I'm with you

Every road we take, darlin' love takes
Every turn, livin' right inside us
I believe love goes
Everywhere we go
I believe love goes
Everywhere we go
Everywhere we go

"Fall In Love"

"Fall In Love"



A little country church on a two lane road
A bride and groom coming out the door
White lace dress and a red bouquet
Just married written on a blue Chevrolet

Don't that make you want to fall in love
Don't that look like a picture of us
A match made in heaven if there ever was
Don't that make you want to fall
That just makes me want to give you my heart
Ever forever needs a place to start
Gotta be a sign from up above
Don't that make you want to fall in love

Old folks sittin' in a front porch swing
Still holdin' hands like they were sixteen
Fifty good years they're a lover's dream
Darlin' that could be you and me

Don't that make you want to fall in love
Don't that look like a picture of us
A match made in heaven if there ever was
Don't that make you want to fall
That just makes me want to give you my heart
Ever forever needs a place to start
Gotta be a sign from up above
Don't that make you want to fall in love
Yeah, yeah
Don't that make you want to fall in love

"Feel Like A Rock Star"
(with Tim McGraw)

"Feel Like A Rock Star"
(with Tim McGraw)



Do you smoke, do you drink
Do you yell out, "Hank"
Do you fold it in your pocket
Do you lock it in the bank

Do you jack it up, or drop it down to the ground
Put the juice in the goose
Or the Coke in the Crown

Whatever makes you feel like a rock star
Yeah, you can kick it back chillin'
Or you can rock hard
You busted your ass all week
And now, it's your time to be
Whatever you wanna be
You can dress to kill, you can shoot to thrill
Try to seal the deal
Whatever makes you feel like a rock star

Do you kick the dirt, or work a Vegas stop
Do you hit the strip, or roll a country mile
Do you wear uptight, or do keep it loose
Do you leave it in the truck
Or sneak it in in your boot

Whatever makes you feel like a rock star
Yeah, you can kick it back chillin'
Or you can rock hard
You busted your ass all week
And now it's your time to be
Whatever you wanna be
You can dress to kill, you can shoot to thrill
Try to seal the deal
Whatever makes you feel like a rock star

Now, whether you're pimped up hangin' in the VIP
Or way up high in the cheapest seat
Hey, pretty mama, if you roll with me
There'll be diamonds in the sky and the radio screen

Whatever makes you feel like a rock star
Yeah, you can kick back chillin'
Or you can rock hard
You busted your ass all week
And now it's your time to be
Whatever you wanna be
You can dress to kill, you can shoot to thrill
Try to seal the deal
Whatever makes you feel like a rock star

Do you smoke, do you drink
Do you yell out, "Hank"
Do you fold it in your pocket
Do ya lock it in the bank

Do you jack it up
Or drop it down to the ground
Put the juice in the goose
Or the Coke in the Crown

Whatever makes you feel like a rock star

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah

Whatever makes you feel like a rock star

"Flip Flop Summer"

"Flip Flop Summer"



Sprin's sprung, the sun's up and shinin'
School's out and everyone's smilin'
Let's pop the top off and lie for a while
And some take it easy days

Let's tell that old grind where to stick it
Put the rest of the stress in there with it
Don't you think we've had enough?
It's time to get away

It's gonna be another flip flop summer
Kick off your shoes and call up your lover
Say, "Hey baby, the winter is over
Let's head South awhile"

We're going to take us a long vacation
Mix us up some strong libations
No worries, just good vibrations
And lazy days in style
It's a flip flop summer, it's a flip flop summer

Put your coat away in the closet
You won't need it, baby
Because it's a clear blue sky
And the weatherman says it looks that way for weeks

Baby, we'll cruise down to Montigo
Raise us a glass as we pass Puerto Rico
It don't matter 'cause wherever we go
It's where it's good to be

It's gonna be another flip flop summer
Kick off your shoes and call up your lover
Say, "Hey baby, the winter is over
Let's head South awhile"

We're going to take us a long vacation
Mix us up some strong libations
No worries, just good vibrations
And lazy days in style
It's a flip flop summer, it's a flip flop summer

Let's sail away, where no problems can find us
We've got 90 days to watch that ole Tequila sun rise
And leave all our troubles behind us

It's gonna be another flip flop summer
Kick off your shoes and call up your lover
Say, "Hey baby, the winter is over
Let's head South awhile"

We're going to take us a long vacation
Mix us up some strong libations
No worries, just good vibrations
And lazy days in style
It's a flip flop summer, it's a flip flop summer
It's a flip flop summer
