That Was Us
Verse 1-
We'd spend all day
Sinking our toes down in that Indian clay
Out by the lake
Picking black berries
And stuffing our face
With a little crooked grin
all of them
Laughin again and again
Chorus-
That was us
Growin up
Acting tough
Tryin to run
Before we learned how to walk
Out in that California sun
Talk that talk
Couldn't tell us nothing
We didn't already know
Growin up
That was us
Verse 2-
Stayin out all night
Raising hell
Try to make it home
Before the moon fell
Layin...

Growin up

My Better Half
Verse 1-
If I'm fire
You're the rain
If I'm a snowy day
You're the sunshine lightin the way
If I'm an eagle soaring high
You're the wind that helps me fly
No matter how you spin it
Girl life without you in it
Just ain't no way to live
Chorus-
You're my better half
The best part of me
I think that's pretty easy to see
That without you I wouldn't be much of anything
What we got
Is way more than a new last name and a wedding ring
You make me a stronger person
Than I've ever been
With you by my side
There ain't...
If I'm fire
You're the rain
If I'm a snowy day
You're the sunshine lightin the way
If I'm an eagle soaring high
You're the wind that helps me fly
No matter how you spin it
Girl life without you in it
Just ain't no way to live
Chorus-
You're my better half
The best part of me
I think that's pretty easy to see
That without you I wouldn't be much of anything
What we got
Is way more than a new last name and a wedding ring
You make me a stronger person
Than I've ever been

Thank You
Verse 1-
Phone was ringing off the hook
Call from my buddy
Sayin I'll be home a week from Sunday
You better have to beer iced down
When I come around
Crazy to think a year gone by
Since he went off to fight
Chorus-
I take my hat off to those men and women puttin their lives on the line
Just so I can keep living mine
The ones willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice
So we can sleep at night
And anybody that ever runs em down
Better not run into me out on the town
I'd like to shake every last one of their hands
And say thank you...

Angels Working Over Time
verse 1-
I've always been a straight shooter
quick from the hip
fire and don't miss
ain't afraid to bust you in the lip
i like to get loose and crazy
mamma always prayed someone would save me
oh
chorus-
my angels working over time
with all the hell i raise
they never get a break
tryin to keep me in line
i put em through the paces
keep em on their toes
never knowin which way i'm gonna go
i'm sorry you got stuck watchin over me
cuz i follow where that wind blows
probably think I've lost my mind
got my angels...

Living My Dream
verse 1-
i ain't living the high life
but I've got the means to get by
and a beautiful wife
so i think i'm doing alright
I've got plenty of love tonight
may not have a big ole house
or a brand new car
but I've got a roof over my head
and a way to get from a to b
so if you ask me
chorus-
i'm living my dream
don't need all them fancy things
to make me smile

I Don't Want To Hear Another Song About Trucks
verse 1-
hey there bartender
what cha ya say you pour me up something strong
and put on a country song
but before you go pickin one out
let me tell you right now
that I've got a broken heart
so before that song starts
chorus-
i don't want to hear another song about trucks
play me something about being down on your luck
no i don't want to hear about cut offs
and gettin drunk
at some party on a dirt road
no i don't give a damn about a river bank
or having a good time
runnin after moonlight
i just want to drown my mind...

In Control
Verse 1-
Well it's a pretty good bet
That I haven't found my limit yet
I'm gonna push you right to the edge
But I'll be holding your hand
So you won't fall
I'll have your back
When it's against the wall
Hey I may be little crazy
But baby
Chorus-
Don't you ever doubt the way I love you
I'd walk through hell
Just to see you smile
Crawl a country mile
To look into those blue eyes
I'm gonna make you cuss and shout
From time to time
But when you cry
I'll hold on and never let go
Hey it's gonna be a windy up hill...
Well it's a pretty good bet
That I haven't found my limit yet
I'm gonna push you right to the edge
But I'll be holding your hand
So you won't fall
I'll have your back
When it's against the wall
Hey I may be little crazy
But baby
Chorus-
Don't you ever doubt the way I love you
I'd walk through hell
Just to see you smile
Crawl a country mile
To look into those blue eyes

But when you cry
I'll hold on and never let go
Hey it's gonna be a windy up hill...

Lesson From You
Verse 1-
I know it's late
And I probably shouldn't have called
But this 5th of whiskey
In me
Sayin we need to talk
So honey won't you just pick up that phone
I know that your home
Chorus-
I ain't been the same since the day you left
And Took my heart
tore it all to hell
I fell
So far from cloud 9
When you walked out on this love of mine
Thought we had something special
Guess I was just your fool
Blinded by your halo
But I know the devil was once an angel too
He must of took a lesson from you
Verse 2-...

What Feels Right
Verse 1-
Time to blow off a little steam
Let loose
This beast inside of me
Hey get them shots a pouring
And let's crank this mother into the early morning
Chorus-
It's a late night
free for all
Come on come on y'all
Ain't stopping till last call
So raise em up
Slam em down
Stomp them boots to a honky tonk sound
Ain't leaving here lonely tonight
So find someone
And just do what feels right
Verse 2-
Wanna hoop and hollar
Spend my last dollar
On that blonde over there
Send a round her way
Give her...
Time to blow off a little steam
Let loose
This beast inside of me
Hey get them shots a pouring
And let's crank this mother into the early morning
Chorus-
It's a late night
free for all
Come on come on y'all
Ain't stopping till last call
So raise em up
Slam em down
Stomp them boots to a honky tonk sound
Ain't leaving here lonely tonight
So find someone
And just do what feels right

Cuddled Up With You
Verse 1-
Falling asleep with the window open
And the sound of cars in the street
The city's coming alive
And all I want to do
Is stay cuddled up in these sheets
With you
Chorus-
Hey let the world buzz by
All I need in this life
Is you by my side
And I'll be alright
Nothing else matters
When you're kissing on me
Hey there ain't nothing out there I want to see
Cuz I got it all right here
So let them do whatever it is they gotta do
And I'll just stay cuddled up with you
Verse 2-
There ain't nothing that can't...
Falling asleep with the window open
And the sound of cars in the street
The city's coming alive
And all I want to do
Is stay cuddled up in these sheets
With you
Chorus-
Hey let the world buzz by
All I need in this life
Is you by my side
And I'll be alright
Nothing else matters
When you're kissing on me
Hey there ain't nothing out there I want to see
Cuz I got it all right here
So let them do whatever it is they gotta do
And I'll just stay cuddled up with you

Be This Tough
Verse 1-
I'm stuck doing the same thing
Day after day
Wake up before the dawn
And unload the hay
Check the coop for eggs
Sit down to eat
But not before I pray
Chorus-
I do another lap around
This sleepy little town
I know it like the back of my hand
I swear one day
I'll get out here man
But every time
I drive to that county line
My tires seize up
Who'd ever thought it'd be this tough
Verse 2-
I ain't saying its all bad
But there's gotta be more out there
I swear I'm gonna find it
Some where...
I'm stuck doing the same thing
Day after day
Wake up before the dawn
And unload the hay
Check the coop for eggs
Sit down to eat
But not before I pray
Chorus-
I do another lap around
This sleepy little town
I know it like the back of my hand
I swear one day
I'll get out here man
But every time
I drive to that county line
My tires seize up
Who'd ever thought it'd be this tough
