- Eighteen Inches
It’s about fifteen hundred miles to California,
They’ll get there Friday if they leave tonight,
She sneaks out at three thirty in the morning,
Leaves a note so she won’t see her daddy cry.
He cuts the engine when he coasts in the driveway,
She slides in and gives him one kiss for the road,
No friends and no family, no job out there waiting,
- History
[Verse 1]
This is it, we’re going in
Time to show ‘em what we’re made of, made of
Sweating blood, here comes the flood
I’m gone but nothing’s gonna shake us, shake us
[Pre-Chorus]
Until the end of days, they’ll remember our names
- Holding the Other
It's a battleground
Everywhere you go, there's something trying to take you down
So hard to stand up when they're kicking you around
Putting your fire out
Putting it out
Hey, hey
But I'm not scared and I'm not shaking
- Leaving
Don't tell me you're leaving
everytime you get mad
Cause I know that you're lying
and you'll be right back.
If you get angry,
just walk away
cause if you were leaving
you would've been long gone
- Next Boyfriend
I thought I knew you from somewhere
Right when you walked through the door
So, please forgive me for staring
It's driving me crazy where I’ve seen you before
Maybe it's the white t-shirt that you're wearing
The danger in your eyes or your fingers in your hair
It's a pretty small town, it's coming to me now
Whoa, I just figured it out
- On Top Of The World
I wore these high heels, black dress, red lips
To turn heads all night
I did my hair up
Showed up in a little more makeup
'Cause I thought you might
Be here with your friends
Somewhere in the dark
I'll be damned if I look like you broke my heart
- One of Those Boys
I gotta little picture painted in my mind
Of that special, not so perfect guy
My heart wants me to find
He ain't too pretty, he ain't to sweet
A little rough around the edges
Cute and country just like me
[Chorus:]
- Same Day Different Bottle
Oh Jim Beam, makes you mean
A couple shots and you'll be ready for a fight
When I look into, those bourbon eyes
I see a man that I don't recognize
I wish you would, be a little bit stronger
And I wish I could, turn that whiskey into water
It's the same day, different bottle
- The Middle
I get this feeling every year, the first days of winter
Pull out that box of souvenirs, to read your old letters
In that stack of memories, found a note you left for me
It almost feels like you're still here
I hear your voice in every word
You told me to remember
Take each day and make it last
- Tupelo
Picked a wildflower off the side of the road
You put it in my hair
Two bare feet up on the dashboard
Hands waving through the summer air
Looking at you, looking at me
With the wind strapped to our backs
Flying as high as a bird in the sky
Don't get much better than that
