All About
Verse 1-
Hey girl look at us
Who would've bet we'd make it this far
Just two kids falling for each other
Putting faith in one and another
People thought we were crazy
Maybe baby
Chorus-
Initials carved in a tree in Idaho
Dancing under a stary night in California
Kiss in the snow
In Utah
Drunken night in Colorado
This love will go where ever we want to go
Hey it's got a hold
On you and me
And there's no denying that
50 years from now we'll look back
And laugh
About when we started out
But that's what loves all...
Hey girl look at us
Who would've bet we'd make it this far
Just two kids falling for each other
Putting faith in one and another
People thought we were crazy
Maybe baby
Chorus-
Initials carved in a tree in Idaho
Dancing under a stary night in California
Kiss in the snow
In Utah
Drunken night in Colorado
This love will go where ever we want to go
Hey it's got a hold
On you and me
And there's no denying that
50 years from now we'll look back
And laugh
About when we started out
But that's what loves all...

Not On The Map
Verse 1-
When I was growing up I couldn't wait to leave
That little town
Not even on the map
I was ready to lay some rubber down
And not look back
Ain't it funny the way things change
Chorus -
I go home every chance I get
And get back to a simpler time
Try and find
That piece of me I left behind
When life gets in the way
I know the perfect place
To escape
When I want a slower pace
I just head on back to that little town
Not on the map
Verse 2-
I've been around the world
Seen a million faces
Been to...
When I was growing up I couldn't wait to leave
That little town
Not even on the map
I was ready to lay some rubber down
And not look back
Ain't it funny the way things change
Chorus -
I go home every chance I get
And get back to a simpler time
Try and find
That piece of me I left behind
When life gets in the way
I know the perfect place
To escape
When I want a slower pace
I just head on back to that little town
Not on the map
Verse 2-
I've been around the world
Seen a million faces

Brand New Start
Verse 1-
I've been a wild wind
Blowing across a dusty plain
Never one to be tamed
Never getting tied down
Moving from town to town
I leave a trail of gasoline
And light a match
And just step back
Chorus-
I've been running for so long
Wearing holes
In my soles
Trying to get gone
Then I met you
And I saw it was all wrong
You woke me up like a love song
That I put on repeat
Girl I'll spend forever dancing to the beat
Of your heart
You gave this runner a brand new start
Verse 2-
I never thought...
I've been a wild wind

Never one to be tamed

Wearing holes
In my soles
Trying to get gone
Then I met you
And I saw it was all wrong

Girl I'll spend forever dancing to the beat
Of your heart

What's It Like
Another night in this smoke filled haze
Staring at the words on the page
Saying you couldn't stay
You walked out and took my heart
So bartender what you got
That can drown a memory
Take it all away from me
Chorus-
What's it like to break me down
Kick me while on the ground
What's it like to have such a cold cold soul
How could you just let go
Throw away my love
Like it was nothing
Girl tell me something
What's it like to say goodbye
Without a single tear in your eye
What's it like
To be doing alright
...

Nothing I Cant Do
Verse 1-
Hey girl the weeks winding down
What do you say we pack it up
And get the hell out of town
We can hit that open road
Go where ever you want to go
Got the sun shining all around us
So slide on in
And let the adventure begin
Chorus-
What I need right now
Is a little bit of you lovin me
A sweet kiss
On my lips
Got George Strait comin out the speakers
And your hair blowin in the breeze
This is right where I want to be
With you rockin on my right
Enjoying this life
Oh when I'm with you
There's nothing I...

Trouble I Could Get Into
Verse 1-
Anyone that knows me
Knows I've always been one to walk the line
I may stagger from time to time
But I try to keep it right down the middle
In this crazy world
Until I met you girl
Chorus-
You're the kind of trouble I could get into
The kind that's got me wanting to get a little wild
Something in your smile
Is pulling me in
I'll never be the same again
You got me wanting to out run the blue lights
Howl at the moon on a late night
Something about you just ain't right
And I like it
I wanna try it
Whatever...
Anyone that knows me
Knows I've always been one to walk the line

But I try to keep it right down the middle

A Little Bit Of Back Home
Verse 1-
I left that small town in a cloud of dust
In my rear view mirror
Turned 18
And said adios, I'm outta here
Stomped on the gas
Got gone real fast
But every now a then
Chorus-
You just need a little bit of back home
Where all your seeds where sown
A little red dirt
In between your toes
Hey that place is a part of me
Made me who I am
So it ain't hard to fine
When I need a little bit of back home
I got it right here in this heart of mine
No matter how long I'm away
That'll never change
Verse 2-...

God Made You
Verse 1-
I was a wild child
Running like hell
Not slowing down
He must have known
I'd need someone to keep my feet on the ground
You couldn't tell me nothing
I was living free
And for me
Chorus-
He must have known
I'd need a gentle touch
That made me feel that rush
Someone to help me fight my demons
Someone to hold
And call mine
Must have known I'd need someone
Who would take the time
Keep me walking the line
The calm to my storm
Someone who ain't afraid to put their foot down
He must have known I'd need...
I was a wild child

Tonight
Verse 1-
Out here
We keep it simple
Good music, ice cold beer
Great friends, pretty girls
Just small town livin around the world
Chorus-
You mix a little bit of rain
And earth
Red clay, red dirt
What does it hurt
It covers my pick up truck
Seen it get a few good ole boys stuck
Sure is a lot of fun
Mmm...mud
It's got you slipping and sliding
Hold on tight
We're going for a ride
Tonight
Verse 2-
It don't matter if it's a Chevy or a Ford
As long as it's a 4 by 4
Covered up to the door
Jump...

Subaru Town
Verse 1-
I lived my whole life in this little place
One day I said what the hell
Let's try something new
And would you look at this city I pulled into
Chorus-
There's big city lights
No more stary nights
They don't drink sweet tea
This just ain't like me
It sure is cold up here
And don't get me started on the beer
I can't find a honky tonk
Just a bunch of clubs
Oh lord what have I done
I drove my truck right on through
To this Subaru
Town
Verse 2-
People look at me crazy when I wave
And I swear every...

Love Of Summer
verse 1-
we were 100 miles and running
couldn't tell us nothing
living wild
living free
chasing the sun
you and me
like we had nothing to lose
cuz all i saw was you
chorus-
all we had was a few months
some how we thought it'd be enough
your hand in mine
we crossed the line
a few times
just a couple crazy kids
livin like there was no tomorrow
time was just something we borrowed
windows down
blowing your hair around
your pretty pink toes on the glass
you were my dash board drummer
my sweet love of...

If These Walls Could Talk
verse 1-
every day i wake up
with you next to me
and i still cant believe
what i see
girl you're an angel
the way the light shines in from the window
gets my heart beating a mile a minute
love, i'm so deep in it
chorus-
if these walls could talk
they'd sure have a lot to say
they could tell you about every time i pray
and some knock down drag out fights
some long lonely nights
but mostly they'd tell you about all the love that fills the air
how beautiful she looks just brushing her hair
they could tell you how lucky i...
