- All I Want For Christmas Is A Real Good Tan
Ooooh, don't you think it's a pretty good plan
All I want for Christmas is a real good tan
All I want for Christmas is a real good tan
Take me to the islands
Put my feet in the sand
Rockin' to and fro with the rhythm of the ocean
Singin' silent night with the palm trees a blowin'
- Back Where I Come From
In the town where I was raised
The clock ticks and the cattle graze
Time passed with Amazing Grace
Back where I come from
Now you can lie on a riverbank
Paint your name on a water tank
Or miscount all the beers you drank
Back where I come from
- Boston
She comes from Boston, works at the jewelry store
Down in the harbor, where the ferries come to shore
She never really knew how good it would feel
To finally find herself in a place, so warm and real
She wears a Red Sox cap to hide her baby dreads
The girl she was in New England, is different now and dead
In all the local bars, she flirts and tells the boys
- Brandy, You're a Fine Girl
(As recorded by Looking Glass)
ELLIOT LURIE
There's a port on a western bay
And it serves a hundred ships a day
Lonely sailors pass the time away
And talk about their homes
- Come Over
Songwriters: McAnally, Shane L / Osborne, Josh / Hunt, Sam
I turn the tv off, to turn it on again
Staring at the blades of the fan as it spins around
Counting every crack, the clock is wide awake
Talking to myself, anything to make a sound
(Chorus)
I told you I wouldn't call, I told you I wouldn't care
- From Hillbilly Heaven To Honky Tonk Hell
On a hillside in Hazzard
Sets a new double-wide
God's little acre
Your paradise
A poor boy found heaven
With a good country girl
He had all he wanted
- Here And Now
Seen the skyline in New York City
Fireflies in Tennessee
Sipped a little shine from a paper sack that'll
Knock the horns off a Cadillac
I must've sat on a dozen islands
Watched the sun sink into the sea
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt and hat
But my favorite place to be is
- I am Better as a Memory
I move on like a sinners prayer
I let 'em go like a levee breaks
walk away as if I don't care
learn to shoulder my mistakes
I'm built to fade like your favorite song
gettin' reckless when there's no need
laugh as your stories ramble on
break my heart but it won't bleed
- I Go Back
'Jack and Diane' painted a picture of my life and my dreams
Suddenly this crazy world made more sense to me
Well I heard it today and I couldn't help but sing along
Cause everytime I hear that song
I go back to a two toned short bed Chevy
Drivin' my first love out to the levy
Livin' life with no sense of time
- I Want To Know What Love Is
[Intro]
Dm C F Bb Dm C Dm
[Verse]
Dm C F
I've gotta take a little time
Bb Dm C
- Life Is Good, Grass Is Green
Darlin' if you think back
To the heartbroken past
Before we found each other
It's so amazin', it's almost crazy
What a difference lookin' through the eyes of love
Life is good, the grass is green
The good Lord smilin' on you and me
Gonna knock on wood
- Life on a Rock
Some say we're the land of misfit toys
An insane mix of girls and boys
Nothing really changes, like a stretch of sand time forgot
That's just livin', that's just livin'
That's just livin' life on a rock, yea
Well you don't lose your lover, you just lose your turn
Drivin' on the left side gotta be learned
Happy hour's from 3 to 6 but it never really stops
- Live A Little
Stressed out, running late, racing down the interstate
Spilled hot coffee, down the front of my jeans
It’s work, work, pay the rent, money and my time’s spent
Not a minute left for me to be me
Been going like nothing can wait
I gotta get my priorities straight
- me and you
Ordinary? No! I really don't think so,
Not a love this true.
Common destiny, we were meant to be, me and you.
Like a perfect scene from a movie screen,
We're a dream come true.
Suited perfectly, for eternity, me and you.
CHORUS:
Everyday, well I need you even more,
- Must Be Something I Missed
There must be something I missed
I wake up in the morning just makin' a fist
I don't call it living, I just exist
There must be something I missed
Yeah, there must be something I need
Something in a cage that wants to be free
- No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems
I’ve been up to my neck workin 6 days a week
Wearin holes into the shoes on my feet
Been dreamin of gettin away since I don’t know
Aint no better time than now..for mexico
No shoes, no shirt, no problems
Blues what blues..hey I forgot them
The sun and the sand and a drink in my hand with no bottom
- Old Blue Chair
There's a blue rocking chair
Sittin' in the sand
Weathered by the storms
And well oiled hands
It sways back and forth
With the help of the winds
It seems to always be there
- Out Last Night
We went out last night
Like we swore we wouldn’t do
Drank too much beer last night
A lot more than we wanted to
There were girls from Argentina and Arkansas
Maine, Alabama and Panama
All mixed together and having a ball
- Save it for a rainy day
"Save It For A Rainy Day"
It's no secret that lately there ain't no escaping
That I've been waking up alone
Just me and the TV and a sinking feeling
That you ain't ever coming home
But today the tears ain't gonna hit the floor
Cause the boat's in the bay and it's calling my name
- She Thinks My Truck Too Sexy
(Yeah, j-j-j-j-b, yeah, whoa oh, whoa noo.)
Now I can see it girl,
You aint gotta say nothing,
Your lips are calling me,
Like they wanna do something,
I feel the chemistry,
Yeah you're into me,
- Some People Change
His old man was a rebel yeller,
Bad boy to the bone, he'd say,
Can't trust a color'd feller
He'd judge em by the tone of their skin,
He was raised to think like his dad,
Narrow mind and full of hate,
On the road to nowhere fast,
- Somewhere With You
If you're going out with someone new
I'm going out with someone too
I won't feel sorry for me
I'm getting drunk, but I'm much right to be.
Somewhere with you
Left a love on the car that we ride in
Driving around on a saturday night
- Spirit of a Storm
There's a spirit of a storm in my soul
A restlessness that I can't seem to tame
Thunder and lightning follow everywhere I go
There's a spirit of a storm in my soul.
There's a hurricane that's raging through my blood
I can't find a way to calm the sea
Maybe I'll find someday the waters aren't so rushed
- Summertime
Summertime is finally here
That old ballpark, man, is back in gear
Out on 49
Man I can see the lights
School's out and the nights roll in
Man, just like a long lost friend
You ain't seen in a while
- Ten With A Two
Last night downtown I was drinking the booze
Like it was going out of style
My whole head got light
I lost my eyesight
I ain't been that drunk in awhile
Along about 1 I spotted a queen
And I started to make my move
Aw, she was believing every
- Tequila Loves Me
[Verse 1]:
South of the border, american dollars
Take you a long, long way.
Beachside bungalows, sand between your toes,
Nobody knows your name.
There's a worm at the bottom of the bottle,
That's well within my reach.
And a heart that you broke will soon be a joke,
- That's Why I'm Here
Well I ain't had nothin' to drink
I knew that's probably what you'd think
If I'd drop by this time of night
Remember way back when
I promised you I'd drop in
At one of those meetings down at the "Y"
They started talkin' about steps you take
- The Boys Of Fall
When I feel that chill, smell that fresh cut grass
I’m back in my helmet, cleats, and shoulder pads
Standing in the huddle, listening to the call
Fans going crazy for the boys of fall
They didn’t let just anybody in that club
It took every ounce of heart and sweat and blood
To get to wear those game-day jerseys down the hall
- The Good Stuff
Well me and my lady had our first big fight
So I drove around until I saw the neon lights
At a corner bar.
It just seemed right, so I pulled up.
Not a soul around but the old barkeep
Down at the end lookin' half asleep.
And he walked up and and said, "What'll it be?"
I said, "The good stuff."
- The Road And The Radio
Ain't nothing out here but me, the road, and the radio
Lookin' for an exit, and a song that I might know
Countin' down the memories, addin' up the miles
Searching for a feeling, that I ain't felt in a while.
Clarity and inspiration
Happiness is a destination, that's hard to find
It may take some time
- There Goes My Life
All he could think about was I'm too young for this.
Got my whole life ahead.
Hell I'm just a kid myself.
How'm I gonna raise one.
All he could see were his dreams goin' up in smoke.
So much for ditchin' this town and hangin' out on the coast.
Oh well, those plans are long gone.
- Turn For The Worse
There's a fork in the road
On my way home
Temptation waits
Wine, women, and song
Lord my will breaks
Where that road bends
And tonight I took a turn for the worse again
- When I See This Bar
"When I See This Bar"
Well I see the souls of so many friends,
And I see us all back here again.
With sandy floors and ceiling fans,
A Rastafarian one-man band with songs
That fill my memories like a tip jar.
Yeah, that's what I see
- Who You'd Be Today
Sunny days seem to hurt the most.
I wear the pain like a heavy coat.
I feel you everywhere I go.
I see your smile, I see your face,
I hear you laughin' in the rain.
I still can't believe you're gone.
It ain't fair: you died too young,
- You and Tequila Make Me Crazy
Baby, here I am again
Kicking dust in the Canyon wind
Waiting for that sun to go down
Made it up Mulholland Drive
Hell bent on getting high
High above the lights of town
- You Had Me From Hello
One word, that's all was said,
Something in your voice called me, turned my head.
Your smile captured me, you were in my future as far as I could see.
And I dont know how it happened, but it happens still.
You ask me if I love you, if I always will.........
Well, you had me from Hello
I felt love start to grow the moment I looked into your eyes,
- You Save Me
Every now and then I get a little lost
My strings all get tangled, my wires all get crossed
Every now and then I'm right up on the edge
Dangling my toes out over the ledge
I just thank God you're here
'Cause when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
'Cause when I'm a firecracker comin' undone
