"Cool Thing"

"Cool Thing"


We were wrapped up in a blanket
Red wine buzz kickin’ in
A little Sarasota moonlight
Driftwood fire burnin’
She was on break from Ohio State
And I was down there sellin’ parasail rides
Just another summer day
Till I strapped her in and watched her fly

[Chorus:]
Talk about a sunset
All I could see were purples and reds
And her silhouette wavin’ goodbye
She didn’t come there lookin’ for love
And the cool thing was
Neither did I and neither did I

She dipped down in the water
As I slowed down holdin’ that line
Wet T-shirt on a two piece
We ditched that boat and hung outside
And we walked ankle deep in ocean
You know that place where footprints disappear
Just like that evenin’ she drove away
It’ll be burned in my mind for a million years

[Chorus x2]

Woo, woo, woo

"Dance"

"Dance"


Headphones downtown, train outside in the rain
In my shotgun seat right beside me
Country rock and roll, hip hop throwback soul
Cross the kitchen floor, just the bare feet

Crank the dollar clockwise, windin' up her wild side
That girl is ready to move

She don't really care who's watchin'
When she gets goin', there's no stoppin' her
If there's a beat somewhere that's droppin', she's rockin'
It's a party anywhere that her feet land
My baby loves to da-a-ance, da-a-ance, da-a-ance
My baby loves to dance

Don't need Friday night, don't need flashing lights
Moments always right when the feelin' hits her
It's all I can take the way she swings and sways
I can't look away, can't resist her

Crank the dollar clockwise, windin' up her wild side
That girl is ready to move

She don't really care who's watchin
When she gets goin', there's no stoppin' her
If there's a beat somewhere that's droppin', she's rockin'
It's a party anywhere that her feet land (her feet land)
My baby loves to da-a-ance, da-a-ance, da-a-ance
My baby loves to da-a-ance, da-a-ance, da-a-ance
My baby loves to dance

Yeah, she gets my heart racing (my baby loves to dance)
All through my body beating like a drum (my body beating like a drum)
Yeah, the sexy way she shakes it (my baby loves to dance)
She don't really care who's watchin'
Once she gets goin', there's not stopping her
There's no stopping her

If there's a beat somewhere that's droppin', she's rockin'
It's a party anywhere that her feet land (her feet land)
My baby loves to da-a-ance, da-a-ance, da-a-ance
(My baby loves to dance, my baby loves to dance)
My baby loves to da-a-ance, da-a-ance, da-a-ance
(My baby loves to dance, my baby loves to dance)
My baby loves to dance

"DJ Tonight"

"DJ Tonight"


Girl, what's your favorite song
I'll be your DJ tonight

Mmm, the way you hold that glass with your fingertips
I wish I was the whiskey upon your lips
Never wanted somethin' so bad
You started dancin' like, man
Got me checkin' you out again
Singin' all the wrong words with your friends
When I finally caught you starin' back

I've been thinkin' of words to say if you walked up to me right now
I've been starin' at you so long that my drinks gettin' watered down
I walked up to you like

You don't have to say a word
I see the look in your eyes
Girl, what's your favorite song
I'll be your DJ tonight
And we'll keep rockin' 'til the last call
Feelin' alright, yeah, yeah
Now you're callin' me baby
While I keep on fallin', yeah
And I think it's more than the just the liquor talkin'
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Like a diamond
The way you're singin' Sweet Caroline
Bom, bom, bom
It's perfect timing
I've been waitin' for you my whole life

Girl you got me buzzin' so hard
I don't even look around, oh no
And we've been dancin' here so long
That I think you should know by now

You don't have to say a word
I see the look in your eyes
Girl, what's your favorite song
I'll be your DJ tonight
And we'll keep rockin' 'til the last call
Feelin' alright, yeah, yeah
Now you're callin' me baby
While I keep on fallin', yeah
And I know it's more than the just the liquor talkin'
Oh, oh, oh, oh

You don't have to say a word, baby
Oh slide a little closer, little lady

You don't have to say a word
I see the look in your eyes
Girl, what's your favorite song
I'll be your DJ tonight
And we'll keep rockin' 'til the last call
Feelin' alright, yeah, yeah
Now you're callin' me baby
While I keep on fallin', yeah

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Girl, what's your favorite song
I'll be your DJ tonight

"Dry County Girl"

"Dry County Girl"


A tall drink of water in a cotton dress
That preacher's daughter, she sure is blessed
As sunlight passes through the fabric so soft
You can imagine what goes through my thoughts
She says there'll be time for all of that
When my dress is white and your suit is black

[Chorus]
There's so many fish in the sea
And I know it's a great big world
But I couldn't help but fall in love so hard
For my dry county girl
For my dry county girl, yeah

It's widely known that I have my flaws
While she's the Joan of Arkansas
Her lips won't touch the demon wine
But her eyes are full of pure moonshine
And I get drunk just holding her hand
I get high thinking I could be her man

[Repeat Chorus]

For my dry county girl
Lord, I fell so hard
For my dry county girl
For my dry county girl, yeah
Yeah, talking about my

[Fade]

"Easy"
(duet with Natasha Bedingfield)

"Easy"
(duet with Natasha Bedingfield)



We broke up
yeah, it's tough
most guys would've been crushed
Wastin' their time
Wonderin' where they went wrong
No way, not me
Hey, I'm doing just fine
I'm not afraid of movin' on

It's easy going out on a Friday night
Easy every time I see her out
I can smile, live it up
The way a single guy does
But what she, what she don't know
Is how hard it is to make it look so
Easy

[Natasha Bedingfield]
The truth is
That I miss lyin' in those arms of his
But I don't ever let it show
I laugh and I act like
I'm having the time of my life
as far as he knows

It's easy goin' out on a Friday night
Easy, everytime I see him out
I can smile, live it up
The way a single girl does
But, what he, what he don't know
is how hard it is to make it look so
Easy
Oh, it's easy

Oh, it's easy goin' out on a Friday night
Oh, it's easy every time I see him out
I can smile, live it up
Forget about the way it was
But what she
Oh, what he don't know
What she don't know
Is how hard it is to make it look so
Easy
Look so easy

"Ellsworth"

"Ellsworth"


Grandma burned the biscuits
Nearly took the house down with it
Now she’s in assisted livin’
We all knew that day would come
We knew she was too gone to drive
The day she parked on I-65
Found her on the shoulder cryin’
She didn’t know where she was

It’s like her mind just quit
Oh, but bring up grandpa
It’s like someone flipped a switch

A front porch light and blue Desoto
Couple of straws in a Coca-Cola
You could see it all goin’ down
A handsome boy in army green
A tear on his face, down on a knee
Shaky voice, a diamond ring
She’ll put you in that town
Tomorrow she won’t remember what she did today
But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas 1948

She takes out his medals
A cigar box of letters
Sits and scatters pictures
Black and whites of days gone by

We started losin’ her when she lost him
But to hear her carry on
You’d swear she’s seventeen again

Football games and leaves are cracklin’
Walking her home in his letter jacket
You could see it all goin’ down
A perfect night on a front porch glider
Sayin’ goodnight for the next three hours
Her tired eyes grow wide and bright
When she talks about that town
Tomorrow she won’t remember what she did today
But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas 1948

While the world is fading all around her
Sharin’ a sundae at the counter
He’s goin’ on and on about her
Bet she’s right there right now
Tomorrow she won’t remember what she did today
But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas 1948

"Every Day"

"Every Day"


You could've bowed out gracefully
But you didn't
You knew enough to know
To leave well enough alone
But you wouldn't
I drive myself crazy
Tryin' to stay out of my own way
The messes that I make
But my secrets are so safe
The only one who gets me
Yeah, you get me
It's amazing to me

[CHORUS]
How every day
Every day, every day
You save my life

I come around all broken down and
Crowded out
And you're comfort
Sometimes the place I go
Is so deep and dark and desperate
I don't know, I don't know

[Repeat Chorus]

Sometimes I swear, I don't know if
I'm comin' or goin'
But you always say something
Without even knowin'
That I'm hangin' on to your words
With all of my might and it's alright
Yeah, I'm alright for one more night-
Every day
Every day, every day, every day
Every day, every day
You save me, you save me, oh, oh, oh
Every day
Every, every, every day-

Every day you save my life

"Fall Here"

"Fall Here"


When you’re ready for love
And you’ve conquered your fear
And you wanna fall baby
Fall here

When you’ve had enough hurt
And you’re tired of the tears
If you wanna fall baby
Fall here

You’re broken and jaded
Say love’s overrated
But I say girl ain’t that a shame?
With all that he put you through
I can’t really blame you
But don’t let some fool give us all a bad name

When you’re ready for love
And you’ve conquered your fear
If you wanna fall baby
Fall here

When you’ve had enough hurt
And you’re tired of the tears
If you wanna fall baby
Fall here

Fall here
Right into my world
Let me catch you, girl
Let me be the one
Let me be the one

When you’re ready for love
When you’re ready for love
If you wanna fall I won’t let you down girl
Oh baby let go

When you’re ready for love
And you’ve conquered your fear
And you’re tired of the tears
Baby fall, baby fall here
Yeah, baby fall here

"Falling Upside Down"

"Falling Upside Down"


There's no gravity up here
It's kind of hard to explain
Every time I'm holding you
It's like backwards rain - yeah

[Chorus]
You lift me up like a kite on a string
Like a bird on newfound wings
So high on you, I'm floating and flying around
Your love is like fallin' upside down

You've got me so lightheaded
It's a dizzy mood
Spinning uncontrollably
And gaining altitude

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]
Look at me
Used to be, I could keep my feet on the ground
When you said you could take me higher
You weren't playing around
(You weren't playing around)

[Repeat Chorus]

"Fast Cars And Freedom"

"Fast Cars And Freedom"


Starin' at you takin' off your makeup
Wondering why you even put it on
I know you think you do but baby you don't need it
Wish that you could see what I see it when it's gone
I see a dust trail following an old red Nova
Baby blue eyes, your head on my shoulder

[Chorus:]
Wait, baby don't move, right there it is
T-shirt hanging off a Dogwood Branch
That river was cold but we gave love a chance
Yeah, yeah for me
You don't look a day over Fast Cars and Freedom
That sunset river bank first time feeling

Yeah, smile and shake your head as if you don't believe me
I'll just sit right here and let you take me back
I'm on that gravel road, look at me
On my way to pick you up you're standing on the front porch
Looking just like that remember that

I see a dust trail following an old red Nova
Baby blue eyes, your head on my shoulder

[Chorus]

I see a dust trail following an old red Nova
Baby blue eyes, your head on my shoulder
You don't look a day over Fast Cars and Freedom
That sunset river bank first time feeling
