"Find Me A Preacher"

"Find Me A Preacher"



Look at you sittin' on that tailgate
All barefoot, beautiful & brown eyed
Just watching you breathin is blowin' me away
All I can think about tonight

Somebody find me a preacher
Somebody find me a man with a bible who can tie a knot.
I know what I got, I know who I love
Track him down, wake him up
Right here right now in this Tennessee Dirt
No long white dress No little white church
Just you in your cutoff jeans & my old t-shirt
Somebody find me a preacher

Baby I can't wait another minute
With you on my lap and your back against the wheel
I ain't got no diamond here to give ya
But if this is how loving you feels

Somebody find me a preacher
Somebody find me a man with a bible who can tie a knot.
I know what I got, I know who I love
Track him down, wake him up
Right here right now in this TN Dirt
No long white dress No little white church
Just you in your cutoff jeans & my old tshirt
Somebody find me a preacher

Cause I want to spend the rest of my life
Making you feel the way I feel tonight

Somebody find, Somebody find me a preacher
Somebody find me a man with a bible who can tie a knot.
I know what I got, I know who I love
Track him down, wake him up
Right here right now in this Tennessee Dirt
No long white dress No little white church
Just you in your cutoff jeans & my old t-shirt
Somebody find me a preacher

Somebody find me a preacher, find me a preacher

"Give Me You"

"Give Me You"



Give me a front porch with a summer breeze
Give me "Yes Ma'am", "No Sit" and "Thank you",
"Please"
Give me a hero who don't lie, steal or cheat
And a little good news
Give me Christmas through children's eyes
One vacation good as advertised
Most of all, as if it's any surprise
Baby, give me you

At the top of my list of life's good things
Is the pleasure and purpose your love brings
And of all that I hold near to me
That's real and right and true
Give me you, Give me you

Give me a day not so prearranged
In fact, give me the phone my plans have changed
Give me a break from chasin' dollars day
Baby, give me you

At the top of my list of life's good things
Is the pleasure and purpose your love brings
And of all that I hold near to me
That's real and right and true
Give me you, Give me you

At the top of my list of life's good things
Is the pleasure and purpose your love brings
And of all that I hold near to me
That's real and right and true
Give me you, Give me you

Baby, give me you, Give me, give me you

"Happy To Be Here"

"Happy To Be Here"



So many close calls, dodging reckin' balls
They're ain't appeared for, I didn't fall through
Girl, there's no tellin' how, I ever made it out
And lived to talk 'bout the reckless things I use to do
Or to tell the truth

I shouldn't be alive, I've seen the other side
All I can say is, I'm just happy to be here
Wrapped in your lovin' arms just like an answered prayer
There's a God out there and I'm just happy to be here
Happy to be here

Baby, when I see your face, I'm in a better place
Girl, I'm so blown away that heaven came down to me
How'd I get so lucky?

I shouldn't be alive, I've seen the other side
All I can say is I'm just happy to be here
Wrapped in your lovin' arms just like an answered prayer
There's a God out there and I'm just happy to be here
Right with you baby, for the rest of my life

I'm happy to be here for the rest of my life
Right with you baby

I shouldn't be alive, I've seen the other side
All I can say is I'm just happy to be here
Wrapped in your lovin' arms just like an answered prayer
There's a God out there and I'm just happy to be here
Happy to be here for the rest of my life

"Hauling One Thing"

"Hauling One Thing"



Monday I .... from Pennsylvania
Swapped it for a load of long horns in for work
Wednesday I slept 'til noon
Parked outside a Houston breezy spoon

Here it takes it's hot salt south to Albuquerque
Spent the night and showered in a Motel Six
Now I'm on a Houston, comin' home
Get ready girl, I'm burnin' up the road

And I'm only haulin' one thing
Girl, it belongs to you
I can't get home too soon

I'm in the passin' lane
Takin' needles, leavin' smoke
One state to go between you and me
And I'm only haulin' one thing

I've been right now, you're sleepin' in my T-shirt
The one you steal each time I'm on the road
You say it makes you think of me
I think of that and I don't need caffine

So I'm jamin' gears and standin' on the peddle
Filled up with diesel, fifty miles to go
For five days I've been in this truck
But I'll be home before the sun comes up

And I'm only haulin' one thing
Girl, it belongs to you
I can't get home too soon

I'm in the passin' lane
Takin' needles, leavin' smoke
One state to go between you and me
And I'm only haulin' one thing

I'm only haulin' one thing
Girl, it belongs to you
I can't get home too soon

I'm in the passin' lane
Takin' needles, leavin' smoke
One state to go between you and me
And I'm only haulin' one thing

Yeah, yeah, I'm only haulin' one thing, babe
...., yeah
Yeah, I'm east bond down
Close it up and ....
So

"Hell, I Can Do That"

"Hell, I Can Do That"



I was flippin' through the channels
A lazy Sunday afternoon
Caught the race in Talladega
Comin' 'round lap 22

When the fella in the blue car
Gave a red car a little tap
Then the rainbow colors
Went flippin' down the track
In what that announcer called
A spectacular crash

And I thought
Well, hell, I can do that
What's the big deal?
Hit a wall in a ball of fire
Requires no steel

A hundred thousand fans
Screamin' in the stands
He gets a bag full of cash
Drivin' circles and crash
Hell, I can do that

While they were under caution
I switched it back to the football game
My team was losin'
Coach was hangin' his head in shame

Then they gave 30 to the football
And he hit the hole fast
'Tween him and the goal line
Was nothin' but the grass
And he tripped on his own two feet
Fell flat on his back

And I said
Oh, hell, I can do that
Man, what's the big deal?
If I only wanted
A stumblin', fumblin' skills

A hundred thousand fans
Screamin' in the stands
He gets a bag full of cash
And sit out the second half
Hell, I can do that

Well, I must have dozed off
I woke up with my baby next to me
Remote in her hand
Tears in her eyes from a movie
A romantic comedy
Starring Matthew McConaughey

Oh, hell, baby
I can do that
I don't see the big deal
Kiss a girl, save the world
And the monster ain't even real

He just takes off his shirt
Stuntman does the work
He gets a boat load of cash
For a quick shot of his ass
Hell, I can do that

Might need to wax my back
But, hell, I can do that

"Help Me Understand"

"Help Me Understand"



Once in a lifetime
You'll open up your heart
Maybe once in your lifetime
You'll swear to never be apart
You think your love's on solid ground
Then out of the blue, it all comes tumblin' down

Who's gonna hold me tonight
When I'm feeling lonely
Who's gonna show me the light
'Cause I need to know
With all the things we've go
How can love just stop
Tell Me
Somebody help me understand

And my picture in your locket
What will you do with it now
All our friends and all our memories
Tell me how we sort them out
What's yours is yours
What's mine is mine
Is that all that's left
After all this time

Who's gonna hold me tonight
When I'm feeling lonely
Who's gonna show me the light
'Cause I need to know
With all the things we've go
How can love just stop
Tell Me
Somebody help me understand

Help me understand
Why I'm not part of our plan
And you don't need me anymore
Help me understand
Why I still wanna be where you are
Even though I know in my hear
You don't love me anymore

Who's gonna hold me tonight
When I'm feeling lonely
Who's gonna show me the light
'Cause I need to know
With all the things we've go
How can love just stop
Tell Me
Somebody help me understand

"High"

"High"



Ain't no whiskey in this glass
Try not to smoke too many cigarettes
I stay away from Mary Jane
These are my choices

Ain't gonna judge you if you do
So don't you judge me if I don't
I got my reasons, my demons and my past
But hey the truth is
Yeah the truth is

I get high
Drivin' down the freeway
Just knowin' that it's Saturday
And I got no place to be
I get high
Standin' in the spotlight
No words for what it feels like
When you sing these songs back to me
If you ask me now
I'll tell you this is how
I get high

Sometimes this world can be too much
Somedays I feel like bein' out of touch
And I see a sunset that takes my breath away
And I find hope again
Set there and drink it in
I get high
Drivin' down the freeway
Just knowin' that it's Saturday
And I got no place to be
I get high
Standin' in the spotlight
No words for what it feels like
When you sing these songs back to me
And if you ask me now
I'll tell you this is how
I get high

I get high
Standin' in the spotlight
No words for what it feels like
When you sing my songs back to me
And if you ask me now
I'll tell you this is how
I get high
Yeah this is how I get high

"Hillbilly Bone"
(feat. Trace Adkins)

"Hillbilly Bone"
(feat. Trace Adkins)



Oh man, you've gotta watch where you're stepping around here
Yeah I got a friend in New York City
He's never heard of Connway Twitty
Don't know nothing about grits and greens
Never been south of Queens
But he flew down here on a business trip
I took him honky tonkin' and that was it
He took to it like a pig to mud, like a cow to cud

We all got a hillbilly bone down deep inside
No matter where you from you just can't hide it
And when the band starts banging and the fiddle saws
You can't help but hollering, Yee Haw!
When you see them pretty little country queens
Man you gotta admit that's in them genes
Ain't nothing wrong, just getting on your
Hillbilly bone-ba-bone-ba-bone-bone

Nah, you ain't gotta be born out in the sticks
With an F-150 and a 30-06,
Or have a bubba in the family tree
To get on down with me
Yeah, bubba all you need is an open mind
If it fires you up you gotta let it shine
When it feels so right that it can't be wrong
Come on, come on, come on

You ain't alone...
You ain't alone

We all got a hillbilly bone down deep inside
No matter where you from you just can't hide
And when the band starts banging and the fiddle saws
You can't help but hollering, Yee Haw!
When you see them pretty little country queens
Man you gotta admit that's in them genes
Ain't nothing wrong, just getting on your
Hillbilly bone-ba-bone-ba-bone-bone

[Instrumental]

Come on y'all

We all got a hillbilly bone down deep inside
No matter where you from you just can't hide
And when the band starts banging and the fiddle saws
You can't help but hollering, Yee Haw!
When you see them pretty little country queens
Man you gotta admit that's in them genes
Ain't nothing wrong, just getting on your
Hillbilly bone-ba-bone-ba-bone-bone
Hillbilly bone ba-bone ba-bone bone
Hillbilly bone ba-bone ba-bone bone

I've always wanted to sing the bone song

"Hillbilly Rich"

"Hillbilly Rich"




He grew up pickin' in a chicken wire joint,
Burnin' up the road, from point to point,
Doing Silver bullets, singing "Shotgun Willie",
A five pice band and a coal black tele,

He told his Moma one day I'm gonna be like the king,
Buy you a house and a Big diamond ring,
You can tell your boss down at the truckstop stick it,
Your Backwoods bare foot boy done hit it,

Hillbilly Rich,
Podunk Proud,
He got horns on the hood of his caddy, cruisin round town,
Got some nuddie boots, got a big city cuttie
Blonde hair Brown roots,
look out another hometown hick done struck it
Hillbilly rich.

Theres a big crowd gathered at the wal-mart store,
Hes flying off the shelf,
The folks want more,
Got a sold out show down in Dallas tonight,
and them Rhimestone sparkle in the big spot light,
Combread country living like a rockstar,
Got 40 acres and a swimming pool, shaped like a guitar,

Hillbilly Rich
Podunk Proud
He got horns on the hood of his caddy, cruisin round town,
Got some nuddie boots, got a big city cuttie
Blonde hair Brown roots,
look out another hometown hick done struck it
Hillbilly rich.

Hes throwing parties catching the town
He got family, he never knew he had

Hillbilly Rich,
Podunk Proud,
He got horns on the hood of his caddy, Cruisin round town,
Got some nuddie boots, got a big city cuttie
Blonde hair Brown roots,
Look out another hometown hick done hit it

"Hold My Beer"

"Hold My Beer"



Oh, dearly beloved
We are gathered up in here today
To join in holy monogamony
This dear feller
And this ol' gal he brought with him

The weddin' chapel couldn't get more packed
The lovebirds were dressed in white and black
The preacher turned to the groom and asked
Him to slip the ring on her left hand
He turned to his best man

And said, "Hold my beer"
"This won't take long"
"And I want it back"
"And I don't want it gone"
"I trust you, buddy"
"Here, hold my beer"

I now pronounce you
Y'all

They cut the cake and they poured champagne
They mock-paraded and formed a train
They crashed right into the groom's old flame
As she came crashin' in
The new bride was kinda green

And said, "Hold my beer"
"This won't take long"
"And I want it back"
"And I don't want it gone"
"I trust you, honey"
"Here, hold my beer"

When the catfight broke up, the band broke in
Did some hagglin' and hankerin' some cash
When somebody's cousin that nobody knew
Yelled, "What's with this hill-billy crap?"
You could've heard a pin drop

And then, "Hold my beer"
"This won't take long"
"And I want it back"
"And I don't want it gone"

"Somebody, hold my beer"
"This won't take long"
"And I want it back"
"And I don't want it gone"
"I trust you, buddy"
"Here, hold my beer"

Ya, no, no, just hold it, no
I wouldn't give it and then tell I didn't like it
Oh, it's gone now
Never ask the preacher to hold your beer
