Made Me
verse 1-
Well I grew up
with the bible as my bed time stories
and i went to church every Sunday
but i drink on a Saturday night
and every now and then i need a light
we grew up in the mud
ain’t afraid to get a little dirty
back when we thought 30
was old
oh where did the time go
chorus-
growing up in a small town
you dont miss the city lights
cuz you’ve got a starry night
and you dont need a club
when you got the great out doors
i could never ask for more
there ain’t no traffic jams
and its ok to hug your old man...

Live, Learn and Laugh
Verse 1-
there’s a new lesson to learn every day
like sharing your toys when you play
riding your bike without the training wheels for the first time
scaring your mom half to death
when you learn to drive
you learn to read and write
how to pick yourself up after a fight
chorus-
everyday we get a little older
we grow a little wiser
mistake
after mistake
never knowing which road to take
step by step
keep both hands on the wheel
try to keep it steady
you never know which day may be your last
so you gotta live, learn...

Just Me
Verse 1
I'm a big teddy bear
But poke this bear and i won't hesite to fight
Some times have trouble admitting when I'm wrong
And someone's right
I'm stubborn and stuck in my ways
But I'll hit my knees and pray
Just live life day to day
Chorus
I ain't no saint
I am who i am
Don't know where I'm going
But i know where I've been
Broke some heart's
Burnt some bridges
Had some hits
Had some misses
I'll never claim to be something different
What you get is What you see
I'm just me
Verse 2
I drink too much...
I'm a big teddy bear
But poke this bear and i won't hesite to fight
Some times have trouble admitting when I'm wrong
And someone's right
I'm stubborn and stuck in my ways
But I'll hit my knees and pray
Just live life day to day
Chorus
I ain't no saint
I am who i am
Don't know where I'm going
But i know where I've been
Broke some heart's
Burnt some bridges
Had some hits
Had some misses
I'll never claim to be something different
What you get is What you see
I'm just me
Verse 2
I drink too much...

Do It
verse 1-
lately baby
i’ve been going crazy
and i think your kiss is the only thing
that can save me
from myself
a little bit of you
is a whole lot of help
chorus-
the way you smile
takes me to a higher place
i just wanna rest my eyes on your face
for a while
just the thought of you
and i lose my cool
aint nothings ever gotten to me like this
all it takes is one little kiss
like sugar on my lips
and i lose it
girl how do you do it
verse 2-
its something that i’ll never understand
how you keep...

hey girl how you been
yeah its been a while
how are you and him
oh is that so
well I'm sorry to hear
let me wipe that tear

we could have been perfect

Into Your Arms
Verse 1-
We'll I had a wild streak
Nobody could ever get to me
Couldn't be tide down
Wasn't gonna stick around
Long enough for that
Oh
Chorus-
I ran like the wind
Like water through your fingers
Hey you'll never see me again
I was runnin runnin
From love
Runnin just to run
Until I tasted your kiss
On my lips
Now the only place I run
Is into your arms
Verse 2-
I never thought I'd see the day
That someone would get to me this way
You broke down my walls
And snuck your way in
And changed who I...
We'll I had a wild streak
Nobody could ever get to me
Couldn't be tide down
Wasn't gonna stick around
Long enough for that
Oh

Outskirts Of Town
Verse 1-
When I was growing up
You couldn't tell me nothing
I was hard headed
Stubbornness imbedded
In my blood
We were runnin wild
Runnin free
My friends and me
Chorus-
Teenagers without a care
Livin life on a dare
Different party every weekend
Drinking too much
And tryin to hide the smoke on our breath
Thinking we couldn't be touched
Couldn't slow us down
On the outskirts of town
Verse 2-
We lived by a code
You mess with one
You gotta take us all on
Never had a lot
But we were dirt road...
When I was growing up

Heart Of Mine
Verse 1-
Luke Bryan was up on stage
Playing a love song
You caught my eye
I'd been watching you all night long
Getting down
Catching the drunk girls before they hit the ground
Stopping your little sister
From fighting my friend
Ain't funny that's where it all began
Chorus-
Now I can't get you outta my head
I think about you every day
Stumbling
Fumbling for the right words to say
Watching your blonde hair fall on your shoulder
And that smile that knocks me out
It scares me not knowing how you feel
But it's a risk I...

Her Love
Verse 1-
She's dancing around in her bare feet
To a song that's in her head
It sure is a sight to see
If you ask me
She's got that dangerous little smile
That'll knock you dead
She's got a wild side
When she's feeling crazy
That's my baby
Chorus-
Hey she knows how to rock
She knows how to roll
Lets the good times flow
Loves like an angel
Kisses that taste like heaven
She cranks it up to 11
She'll set your world on fire
With just a touch
Oh there's no such thing as enough
When it comes to her love
...
She's dancing around in her bare feet
To a song that's in her head
It sure is a sight to see

When she's feeling crazy
That's my baby
Chorus-
Hey she knows how to rock
She knows how to roll
Lets the good times flow
Loves like an angel
Kisses that taste like heaven
She cranks it up to 11
She'll set your world on fire
With just a touch
Oh there's no such thing as enough

I Hope Jesus Ain't Watching Tonight
Verse 1-
It's been one of those weeks
Pushed to the limit
Boss man pushed me over the edge
I got a few choice words floating around in my head
I'd like to tell him to stick it where the sun don't shine
I need a little time to unwind
Chorus-
I hope Jesus ain't watching tonight
Cuz I'm gonna tie one on
Get to feeling right
I'm gonna throw em back
Open up a pack
And smoke em down
Hey pour me another round
And keep em coming
The devil and angel on my shoulder are about to fight
So I hope Jesus ain't watching tonight
...

Dying Day
Verse 1-
I'm a product of a logger
And bartender
I'm an American first line defender
I wear that uniform proud
Stand my ground
Never back down
Fight for what is right
Chorus-
I'm a warrior
For the red white and blue
Stand tall
Stand true
I proudly salute that flag
That so many have died to defend
Talking down about it
Ought to be a sin
Remember these words that I say
Cuz I'll defend till my dying day
Verse 2-
I've spent a year in that sand
With my brothers and sisters
Fighting for Uncle Sam...
I'm a product of a logger
And bartender
I'm an American first line defender
I wear that uniform proud
Stand my ground
Never back down
Fight for what is right
Chorus-

Stand tall

That so many have died to defend

Young And Dumb
Verse 1-
Mamma and daddy tried to teach me right
But man did I put up one hell of a fight
Breaking every rule
Thinking I was too cool for school
Acting like an out law
Running from the blue lights
I was wild and crazy
But I guess that's just the way god made me
Chorus-
I was full speed ahead
Rather be dead
Than standing still
No time for slowing down
Leaving rubber on the ground
Running before I could walk
Never knowin when to stop
I was a fireball shot chased with a beer
Beast uncaged
No fear
Back when I...
Mamma and daddy tried to teach me right
