- Bottle It Up
Well I always heard tale of a little bitty still in the backwoods
Where old Hillbilly Bill made corn and sugar taste real good
So me and my buds finally got the nerve up,
Took a little chug-a-lug from a big brown jug
Sweet and so smooth, it took me to the moon
I said Billy brother what we ought to do is..
Bottle it up, load it in the back of my truck
- By Your Grace
I'm aware of everything that's wrong with me
But still You accept me anyway
I live with a past I can't get past and it still haunts me
So I'm askin' for the courage to make a change
By Your grace, I have hope
You've already paid every debt I owe
Please take my chains and make me see
That by Your grace, I've been set free
- Dance Her Home
Here she comes a-walkin' in, cotton dress a-swishin'
The smoke is thick and the lights are dim and she sure got me wishin'
For a little bit of time out on that ol' dancefloor
If she gives me half a chance at romance
I'm gonna dance her home
Well, hey bartender, see that girl? Ask her what shes drinkin'
Tell her if she looks this way I'll be the one a-winkin'
'Cause I saw her light up when the DJ played a little George Jones
- Diamond In My Pocket
Saturday night and the moon is out
Just shinin' over top of the pines
I'm headin' on down to my baby's house
Gonna take her on a midnight ride
Now I'm on these backroads winding down to Kickapoo Creek
Dancin' and singin' to some good ol' boys like me
Baby, there's a shooting star,
- Gotta Be Me
I'm a lone country mile from bein' style
Dirty hat an cowboy boots
I cut my teeth on them old outlaw songs
My daddy used to listen to
Guess it's in my genes
I gotta be me
Yeah I say what I think
But sometimes I drink
- Grass Stains
That's a pretty little sundress you got on
And them pink flip flops look brand new
Got your toenails painted up midnight red
Spring time tan on the back of your neck, girl look at you
This white v-neck that I got on
Is clean as a whistle, bright as a day
I got new spit shine on my old boots
Starched these wranglers just for you, yesterday
- Half a Song
The band was startin' slow and about the time you walked in
I could see it in your eyes
You were heart broke and needin' a friend
The singer started singin' as I let you have my barstool
And before that first chorus was through
You were already smilin'
I said no use in tryin'
Open up a tab, oh girl I'm gladly buyin'
- Honky Tonk Mood
Woman left me with the blues
And I know just how I got 'em
I see a fifth of Jimmy Beam
I'm gonna drink it to the bottom
I ain't tryna hurt nobody
I ain't prone to give a damn
I got me nothin' left to lose
I'm in a honky-tonk mood
- I Ain't Going Nowhere Baby
I ain't going nowhere baby
Rest your worries somewhere else
High up on a shelf now baby
Next to all your other doubts
Things have been real crazy lately
But I ain't going nowhere baby
If you need to cry girl here's a shoulder
Sometimes I feel like crying too
- Kiss Goodbye
As I slide the key in the ignition of this ol' truck and fire it up
I'm struck hard by the heaviness of this situation
My eyes are fixed on the small silver half heart key chain you gave me
Dangling in the dashboard light
I read the word "forever" over and over again, I wanna cry
I turn off my radio as I turn off your county road
To pick you up just like I've done at least a thousand times
The gravel underneath these tires,
- Longer Than She Did
I got a feeling
That this broken heart of mine
Is gonna stay with me
Longer than she did
I'm on the wrong side of moving on
Counting every minute 'til the crack of dawn
There's an upside of letting go
I ain't dead yet but all I know is
- Made a Home
I poured the concrete, cut the 2x4's
Planted that oak tree and stained that front door
I hung your porch swing, painted that picket fence
Yeah, I built the whole thing nail by nail and brick by brick
Aw but, girl, what you did
Was put the singin' in the kitchen, the dancin' down the hallway
The livin' in the living room and the savin' me on Sunday
You put the tangle in the sheets and the perfume on my pillow
- Me and My Kind
Yeah that's my old girlfriend
Saw her when she walked in
Her hair's a little longer but she's still lookin' stronger than sin
No, I don't care if you buy her a drink
But she's not the kind of girl you think
Oh, cause back when we were lovin' she thought cowboys were something
Now' they ain't
Cause she's over buckles
- Ride with me
You can here my engine hummin', comin' rumblin' up the road. And I know when you meet me at the fence line in the sunshine you’ll be lookin' fine in your bandanna and your blue jeans. Baby, would you ride with me. So climb up in the seat put your bare feet up tap along with the radio. Girl we can go kick around downtown with the top down we can follow this county road wherever it leads. Baby, would you ride with me. Take my hand, say I do. I want to go down this road with you. High and low, thick and thin. Forever’s just around the bend. And we’ll be right where we want to be, baby, would you ride with me. You know life is a bull when the gate its pulled and you better be holding on tight. It’s a roller coaster, flippin' over. It’s a sailboat on the tide, on the wide open seas. Baby, would you ride with me. Take my hand, say I do. I want to go down this road with you. High and low, thick and thin. Forever’s just around the bend. And we’ll be right where we want to be, baby, would you ride with me. Well I’ve thinking all day that life is a highway we all travel on. The one that I want to see sittin' in the seat with me when I make my dreams come true, it’s you, it’s you. And it feels so fine when you. Take my hand, say I do. I want to go down this road with you. High and low, thick and thin. Forever’s just around the bend. And we’ll be right where we want to be, so baby, would you ride with me. Come on and take a ride with me.
- Stronger
I'm a twenty gauge shotgun with both barrels blazing
I'm a hundred miles an hour 'round the curve without braking
I'm a herd of wild horses through her bed of daisies
And she'll plant 'em all back again
I think I'm John Wayne when I get to drinking
I'm the first one to jump on a boat while it's sinking
But I ain't half as tough as what I'd have you thinking
If you really knew her, you'd know I'm the weak one
- Treasure
A beat-up gut string tucked behind some TVs
Like a pawn shop castaway
Started strumming little nothings
I fell in love with the way it played
Put aside the way that some things shimmer
Beauty's in the heart and not the eye
Rust is just another shade of silver
Not all treasure has to shine, hmm
- Walk Away
There's a difference, in the way she feels when I touch her now
I can tell that something's wrong but I can't put my finger on when, the why, or how
And there's a coldness in the way she swears I'm not the reason she's not in the mood
And it tears me up inside to lie here next to her while she lies to me about you
She thinks I don't know but I'm about to lose control
She's the kinda love that builds you up enough but she can't stand to be alone
Hell's what I'm gonna raise, 'cause I'm hell bent on a change
Buddy finish your drink its on me, then get up and walk away
- Whoever's in New England
You spend an awful lot of time in Massachusetts
Seems like every other weekend there's a meeting waiting there
Business must be booming or could something else
Be moving in the air up there
You say that it's important for our future
An executive on her way up has got to play the part
But each time duty calls you've got to give it all
You've got with all your heart
- Wild as You
You're like waking in the morning by a mountain stream
You're like watching that eagle floating on the breeze
As I listen to you dreaming by my side
I wish I could call you mine
But you belong where the four winds blow
Out where the untamed mustang roam
Like a sweet summer rain, passing through
Never seen anything wild as you
- With You I Am
I've never been a Cool Hand Luke
The quarterback of the winning team
Or the guy with the right kind of punchlines
Everybody wants to be
I never was that lucky ol' cuss
With a straight flush in his hand
Oh, but with you I am
I ain't no Patrick Swayze
