"Good Girls"

"Good Girls"



Jesse called her best friend Jenny
Said we're goin' out tonight
Gonna chase the moon
Right out of the sky
We're gonna drink Boone's Farm
Like we were seventeen again
You can't say no
As long as we've been friends

Good girls
Always walk the line
Good Girls
Never let you seem them cry

Took off like a bottle rocket
Through a field of corn
And hell hath no fury
Like a woman scorned
Then Jesse lit a cigarette and said
My man's been sleepin' around
And I know who it is
And Jenny's head fell down

Good girls
Always walk the line
Good girls
Never let you see them cry

Next mornin' the paper read
Two killed in a fatal crash
The train never had time to stop
They were parked right on the tracks
The only witness was
A weeping willow on a faraway hill when
Jesse told Jenny
Hey if I can't have him neither one of us will

Good Girls
Always walk the line
Good Girls
Never let you see them cry

Cry, cry, cry, cry

Jesse called her best friend Jenny
Said we're goin' out tonight
Gonna chase the moon
Right out of the sky

"Grown Men Don't Cry"

"Grown Men Don't Cry"



I pulled into the shopping center
And saw a little boy wrapped around the legs of his mother
Like ice cream melting they embraced
Years of bad decisions runnin' down her face
All mornin' I'd been thinkin' my life's so hard
And they wore everything they own, livin' in a car
I wanted to tell him it would be ok
But I got just got in my suburban and I drove away

But I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry

Keep having this dream about my old man
I'm 10 years old, and he's holding my hand
We're talkin' on the front porch watchin' the sun go down
But it was just a dream he was a slave to his job and he couldn't be around
So many things I wanna say to him
But I just placed a rose on his grave, and I talk to the wind

But I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry, don't cry

I'm sittin' here with my kids and my wife
And everything that I hold dear in my life
We say grace and thank the Lord
Got so much to be thankful for
Then it's up the stairs and off to bed and my little girl says
"I haven't had my story yet."

And everything weighin' on my mind disappears just like that
When she lifts her head off her pillow and says,
"I Love You Dad"

I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
And I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry, don't cry

"Halo"

"Halo"



Let's just cut it down the middle
Let it bleed and bleed out
I'll clean up the mess, baby
You stand there and shout
Cry, cry
Baby, I can't hold us together

Paint me in a corner
Cover me with rage
I'll take it like a circus lion
Silent in my cage
Cry, cry
Baby, I can't change the weather

Baby, I'll let go when you say so
Try to let your heart fly free
I'll crawl out of my cradle
Down in to my black hole
And you just lay low
Under your halo

I'll slip into the back room
Fall onto your cast
Almost out of focus
Like a faded photograph
Cry, cry
baby, I'm all out of answers

Baby, I'll let go when you say so
Try to let your heart fly free
I'll crawl out of my cradle
Down in to my black hole
And you just lay low
Under your halo

Baby, I'll let go when you say so
Try to let your heart fly free
I'll crawl out of my cradle
Down in to my black hole
And you just lay low
Under your halo

Bab, you just lay low
Under your halo

"Hard On The Ticker"

"Hard On The Ticker"



I gave up pamento cheese
Domino's delivery
Whiskey sours
Apple pies
Finger-lickin' chicken fried
Are gastronomic history
I used to like them scary shows
But I gave 'em up a while ago
Don't do no death-defyin'
Rollercoster ridin'
Now days I just take it slow
Every since we started datin'
I been compensating
To keep from gettin' up
To heaven any quicker 'Cause
She's hard on the ticker
Hard on the ticker
The girl is such a hazard that she oughta have a sticker
Sayin' hard on the ticker

Now, when she wiggles through my door
My chin gets heavy hits the floor
Silky hair, scarlet lips
Swingin' double-jointed hips
My blood begins to roar

And when she nibbles on me ear
It's partly pleasure, partly fear
Little dab is all it takes
To get my heart a palpatatin'
Feelin' like the end is near
I oughta get a policy
A double indemnity
It'd make my beneficiary
A whole lot richer 'Cause
She's hard on the ticker
Hard on the ticker
The girl is such a hazard that she oughta have a sticker
Sayin' hard on the ticker

That's my girl
Yeah, she's hard on the ticker
I oughta get a policy
A double indemnity
It'd make my benificiary
A whole lot richer
Oh, she's hard on the ticker
She's hard on the ticker
Hey, she's hard on the ticker

"Here Tonight"
(feat. Gracie Mcgraw)

"Here Tonight"
(feat. Gracie Mcgraw)



Got rambling in my boots
There's a lot of strings that I've cut loose
I ain't afraid of taking flight
But I'd rather be right here tonight
There's a greener grass on down the road
There's a million places left to go
With a brighter moon in a bigger sky
But I'd rather be right here tonight

There's something in the air
There's something in the wine
That something's got me feeling
I ain't packing up and leaving this time
I'd rather be right here tonight

LA to the Outer Banks
Coeur d’alene (Quarterlane) to Pontchartrain
Yea, Colorado got me high
But I'd rather be right here tonight

There's something in the air
There's something in the wine
That something's got me feeling
I ain't packing up and leaving this time
I'd rather be right here tonight

No better place than where you stand
Tear up those tomorrow plans
You only get to live one time
So let's live it up right here tonight

There's something in the air
There's something in the wine
That something's got me feeling
I ain't packing up and leaving this time
There's something in the air
There's something in the wine
That something's got me feeling
I ain't packing up and leaving this time
I'd rather be right here tonight

"Hey Now"

"Hey Now"



On a night like this
Ain't what I'm lookin' for
The music's slow and the beer is warm
You came in the room
Put that record on
Started groovin' to that funky song

And I said, hey now,
It don't seem that late now
I thought the party was windin' down
Hey now look what I just found
Gonna stay now
Bring the Tanqueray, I'll
See how this plays out
Until you looked at me
I was just about to leave
I was just about to leave

Watch dancin' there,
Lit the whole place up,
Made me wonder where you came from, yeah
Some kinda paradise,
Some kind of heaven sent,
I know it might 2 a.m.

But hey now,
It don't seem that late now
I thought the party was windin' down
But hey now look what I just found
Gonna stay now
Bring the Tanqueray, I'll
See how this plays out
Until you looked at me
I was just about to leave
I was just about to leave

When I saw you, going for your keys
Girl I had to ask you if you'd dance with me
Yeah would you dance with me

You said, hey now,
It don't seem that late now
I thought the party was windin' down
But hey now look what I just found
Gonna stay now
Bring the Tanqueray, I'll
See how this plays out
Until you looked at me
I was just about to

Hey now,
It don't seem that late now
I thought the party was windin' down
But hey now look what I just found
Gonna stay now
Bring the Tanqueray, I'll
See how this plays out
Until you looked at me
I was just about to leave
I was just about to leave

Ooh but hey now, hey now...
Oh hey now, hey now...
Look what I just found
Look what I just found
Gonna dance, gonna dance, gonna stay
Gonna do just about everything

"Highway Don't Care"
(feat. Keith Urban & Taylor Swift)

"Highway Don't Care"
(feat. Keith Urban & Taylor Swift)



Bet your window's rolled down and your hair's pulled back
And I bet you got no idea you're going way too fast
You're trying not to think about what went wrong
Trying not to stop 'til you get where you goin'
You're trying to stay awake so I bet you turn on the radio
And the song goes

I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby
I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby, baby

The highway won't hold you tonight
The highway don't know you're alive
The highway don't care if you're all alone
But I do, I do.
The highway won't dry your tears
The highway don't need you here
The highway don't care if you're coming home
But I do, I do.

I bet you got a dead cell phone in your shotgun seat
Yeah, I bet you're bending God's ear talking 'bout me.
You're trying not to let the first tear fall out
Trying not to think about turning around
You're trying not to get lost in the sound but that song is always on
So you sing along

I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby
I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby, baby

The highway won't hold you tonight
The highway don't know you're alive
The highway don't care if you're all alone
But I do, I do.
The highway won't dry your tears
The highway don't need you here
The highway don't care if you're coming home
But I do, I do.

I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby
I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby, baby

The highway don't care
The highway don't care
The highway don't care
But I do, I do.

I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby
I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby, baby
(The highway don't care
The highway don't care
The highway don't care
But I do, I do)
[3x]

I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby

"Home"

"Home"



Mama's got her apron on
Standing in the kitchen
Cooking up my favorite dish
Whatever she is fixing
Daddy's in a picture in a frame
That's always sitting by the phone

Daffodils are popping up
Out behind the clothesline
Underneath that tree I planted
When I was just a boy of nine
Man I never can believe
Just how much it's grown when I go

Home
Back home
To the gentle place that held be close
As I became a man
And the streets are all familiar
And an old friend shakes my hand
And I feel fine
So fine
Yeah, knowing that this road I'm wandering on
From time to time
It always leads me home

Brother, he'll be waiting with the
Latest from the grapevine, saying
Man you won't believe them stories
About those crazy friends of mine
And all them little scandals
That a small town can't seem to leave alone

Later on we'll sit around
Bellies tight from supper
Telling all them stories
That we just can't get enough of
And somewhere in an honest laugh
It'll finally hit me that I'm

Home
Back home
Where the memories all have gathered up
And slowly turned to gold
And I carry them along with me wherever I may go
And I feel fine
So fine
In knowing that this road I'm wandering on
From time to time
It always leads me home
Back home

Well I go and put some flowers down at daddy's stone
And I see that empty space beside him
It always makes me glad that I came

Home
Back home
Where the Bible is the Bible
And the angels get their wings
And the circle is unbroken
When I hear them church bells ring
And I feel fine
You know I feel so fine
Yeah, knowing that this road I'm wandering on
From time to time unwinds
Cross the rivers, through the pines
It always leads me home

Back home
Yeah I'm going back home
Back home

"How Bad Do You Want It"

"How Bad Do You Want It"



Robert Johnson went to the crossroads, so the legend goes
He left with his guitar and the devil took his soul, the devil took his soul

Been out here on this highway
Breathing diesel smoke
Driving hard for hours
Trying to make that Memphis show
People always ask me
"Son what does it take
To reach out and touch your dreams?"
To them I always say

Are you hungry?
Are you thirsty?
Is it a fire that burns you up inside?
How bad do you want it?
How bad do you need it?
Are you eating, sleeping, dreaming
With that one thing on your mind?
How bad do you want it?
How bad do you need it?
Cause if you want it all
You've got to lay it all out on the line

I get to make my living
Doing what I love
Every night I give my heart and soul
Sometimes that ain't enough
But brother, if you're like me
Looking down that road
Be careful of that wild wind, son
Sometimes it don't let go

Can you feel it?
Can you taste it?
Can you hear it knocking at your door?
How bad do you want it?
How bad do you need it?
Are you eating, sleeping, dreaming
With that one thing on your mind?
How bad do you want it?
How bad do you need it?
Cause if you want it all
You've got to lay it all out on the line

There's always a price you pay no matter what you do
If you're gonna climb that mountain to the top
It always comes down to

How bad do you want it?
How bad do you need it?
Are you eating, sleeping, dreaming
With that one thing on your mind?
How bad do you want it?
How bad do you need it?
Cause if you want it all
You've got to lay it all out on the line

Robert Johnson went to the crossroads, so the legend goes
He left with his guitar and the devil took his soul, the devil took his soul

"How I'll Always Be"

"How I'll Always Be"



I'm a little more beer bottle beer joint than a fancy bar
I'm a little more sitting up high on the road than a little car
I'm a little more bust ya back than take it for free
And that’s how I'll always be
I'm a little more lose my temper than to sit on back
I'm a little more ol' Hank Williams than that trendy crap
I love a flat wood ol' front porch made of an old oak tree
And that's how I'll always be

I'll always be a fan of ol' stray dogs and guitars playin'
One room churches, back road walks and front porch swingin'
Sunset skies, bonfire nights, I love the simple things
That's how I'll always be

I got friends that say I live a little like cool hand Luke
Fast cars and motorcycles raisin' hell in cowboy boots
But hey on Sunday morning I'll take the back row seat
That's how I'll always be

I'll always be a fan of ol' stray dogs and guitars playin'
One room churches, back road walks and front porch swingin'
Sunset skies, bonfire nights, I love the simple things
That's how I'll always be

I'm a fan of chert rock bouncing off a Chevy fender
That feeling that you get that first time she lets ya kiss her
Rusty roofs that rattle when the rain is fallin' down
Handshake deals fresh cut hay fields and hometowns

I'll always be a fan of ol' stray dogs and guitars playin'
One room churches, back road walks and front porch swingin'
Sunset skies, bonfire nights, I love the simple things
That's how I'll always be
That's how I'll always be
That's how I'll always be
That's how I'll always be
