Get Out Of This Town
drivin around
this one horse town
that i use to love
gets a little tough
these days
cuz every where i go
i see your face
who ever thought someone like me
would be ready to pack it on up
and leave
oh
i just gotta get out of this town
before your memory tares me down
no matter where i go
or what i do
i cant out run it
cuz you're on every street
and every corner
i see you in every girl i meet
i should be over it by now
i guess i just gotta get out of this town
i drive up to the dam to think
just...
this one horse town
that i use to love
gets a little tough

who ever thought someone like me

Ride With Me
girl jump in the truck
and lets fire that bad boy up
nothings ever looked so good to me
as you sittin right there on my bench seat
why dont you slide on over here
shift the gear
i'll hit the clutch
and if you want
we can go get stuck
oh
come on baby and ride with me
your brown eyes and them long legs is all i want to see
i'll roll the windows down
let your hair blow in the wind
come on, come on girl
give in
we can ditch this town
oh we can leave right now
no need to pack
cuz you're all i need
so come on baby...
and lets fire that bad boy up
nothings ever looked so good to me
as you sittin right there on my bench seat
why dont you slide on over here
shift the gear
i'll hit the clutch
and if you want
we can go get stuck
oh
come on baby and ride with me
your brown eyes and them long legs is all i want to see
i'll roll the windows down
let your hair blow in the wind
come on, come on girl
give in
we can ditch this town
oh we can leave right now
no need to pack
cuz you're all i need

Who The Hell Do You Think You Are
it took a long time to get where i am today
a lot of long nights and shots made it that way
a lot of empty bottles
and burnin your memory
made it possible
so when your name came up on my caller id
oh it hit me
who the hell do you think you are
i'm finally gettin past these scars
and healing my heart
i dont need you comin around
and messin that up
i've finally got up off the ground
i'm finally doin ok
so i dont want to hear what you have to say
please just stay away
i've come so far
so who the hell do you think you are...
a lot of long nights and shots made it that way

She's A Heart Breaker
would you look at her

yeah honey that ought to be a crime
you got every fool at here losing their mind
and you dont even know it

oh she's a tornado in heels
and she's kickin down the door

but you aint never met no one like her...

When The Sun Come Up
girl i've never been one to let someone get this close
i'd normally be packin up
and sayin adios
but i cant seem to pick my feet up off the ground
yeah something about you is making me want to stick around
oh
i dont want just another one night stand
no i want to be the one holdin your hand
i want to be the one lookin you in they eyes
and being the reason you smile
hey
if its ok
i think i might stick around for a while
and when the lights go out
have no doubt
that i aint going no where
we can start all over and try to find...

My Hearts Got A History
girl lately things have been changing
in ways theres no explaining
you're gettin closer and closer everyday
and i cant lie
it scares the hell out of me
i try and i try
to fight who i use to be
oh but
my hearts got a history of leaving
of runnin scared
and runnin wild
yeah you wont even see it comin
but just like that i'll be off and runnin
baby i'm just givin you a warning
cuz i dont want to see you cry
but i cant lie
oh it aint no mystery

and you know i'm lookin forward to eveyone

Trouble In Those Eyes
when she walked in
i swear the music stopped
yeah she was that damn hot
she wiggled across the floor
shakin her ass
didn't say a word
they just set down and filled up a glass
had everybody breaking their necks to get a view
i cant lie
i was too
she gave me that look
and i saw
trouble in those eyes
there was no way to deny
with that wink and that smile
could have seen for a country mile
should have turn and ran
but she had me in the palm of her hand
my feet just wouldn't move
she had nothin to lose
shakin in...

Every Mistake
i've had my share of bad wrecks
stumbles and falls
had my back up against a few walls
fought my way out
hit my knees
had my doubts
but i'm here now
oh
every mistake led me to you
every heart ache i've been through
made it so i'm standing here
without any fear
i couldn't give all of me
if i hadn't broken piece for piece
wouldn't be what you see
if it wasn't for these scars
on my heart
so i wouldn't change a thing
i had to break
to be what you need
so i'm happy for every mistake
you had people tear you...
stumbles and falls
had my back up against a few walls
fought my way out
hit my knees
had my doubts

without any fear
i couldn't give all of me
if i hadn't broken piece for piece

if it wasn't for these scars

so i wouldn't change a thing
