well you aint gotta look no further now

Countrified Good Time

and work our way up to some Strait
get everybody dancin in the moon light
ya'll its just a countrified...

That Old Chevy
i remember growin up
standing next to grandpa
on that bench seat
the cooler didnt work
so with that summer heat
we'd roll the windows down
as we'd drive around
oh
that old chevy
orange and white
sure knew about a country night
yeah its old and worn
banged and torn
been through 4 generations of family
it watched all the kids grow like weeds
seen grown folk do some stupid things
i'm sure when it was new
everyone thought it was cool
but i got a little piece of history
every time i turn that key
and it takes me...

Under My Skin Like A Tattoo
theres something about that girl
and those eyes
or maybe its the way she smiles
whatever it is
i dont have words to describe
the way i feel inside
shes got me out of my mind
she's left a permeant mark
on this ole heart
i never saw it coming
i probably should be runnin
its like i'm livin a dare
goin off a wild hare
baby i just dont think this is fair
but i know you aint going no where
no matter what i do
cuz she's under my skin
like a tattoo
talkin to her every day
makes me think
its crazy the way things...

My Drug
i'm shakin and sweatin
regretin
not havin my next fix
comin down off this high
is killin me inside
as hard as i try
i cant put it down

oh
a kiss like that
gives you a feelin you cant get back
she's in my veins
takin over my brain
strong enough to drive someone insane
she's taken over my life
no there's no point in tryin to fight
i just gotta have it
mmm...she's my bad habit
her love

i can still taste it on my lips
nothing has ever gotten to me like this

American
i hear so much bitchin and complainin
sayin
this and sayin that
too much blamin
pointin fingers
just waitin
to pull the trigger
people want to run this country down
and you know what
i think it needs to stop right now
oh
i'm damn proud to be an american
i've fought for this country with some real good friends
hey somebody had to take a stand
those ones that didnt make it back
dont let it be in vain
show a little respect
or pack up your things
and go a different way
if you dont like it here
you're free to...

If You Ever Get Lonely
hey girl how have you been
i aint heard from you in a while
it sure is good to hear your voice again
why'd you call
were you just touchin base
checkin in
hows everything been goin out there in the big ole city
i know you had to go
but just so you know
if you ever get lonely
and start missin home
all you gotta do is pick up the phone
cuz i'll always be there
when life get a little unfair
and if you ever think about comin back
to be honest
i'd be ok with that
but girl dont let me be the one to change your mind

Set That Drink Down
my demons sure have got the best of me
broke me down
and made my better half leave
yeah i got lost in a whiskey haze
fell so far from grace
she always believed
i was something special
until she realized i couldn't let the bottle go
now its too late
i wish i would have known
oh
if i could have seen what was coming
maybe i would have hit the ground runnin
from the devil in that glass
but he just kept pullin me back
get me so far off track
now there aint no chance in hell
she'll come around
this all could have been...

Fast Life
ever since i was young
i was livin life like a bullet shot from a gun
no nothing could stop me
i just had to be livin free
yeah the highway called my name
as soon as i hit that blacktop
i knew nothing would ever be the same
oh
i might be a little out of control
aint no slowin down
i gotta cover too much ground
so livin wilds how i'll keep things
and we'll just see what it brings
i'm like a raging fire
gotta burn these tires
through the night
just livin the fast life
hey i aint got no time for settling
its peddle...

My Backwards Ways
growin up
i tried to fight
my country roots
but that neon light
was in my blood
hey i'm country from my hat down to my boots
momma was rockin out to Tracy Larwance and George Strait
grandma and grandpa would always play
Bob Seger and Elvis
and daddy was gettin down
to the sound
of Lynard Skynard and Ozzy
yeah country soul
mixed with some rock n roll
hey just the way i was raised
ya'll its in my veins
so dont ask me why i'm like this today
country aint where you're at
hell anyone can wear a cowboy hat
its all in...

Like My Old Man
i'm stubborn
i'm reckless
but i got a heart the size of Texas
i dont talk to much
but i'll say what needs to be said
but most of the time
there aint too much going on inside my head
oh
the more i look back
from then to now
its crazy how
far i've come
all the stupid things i've done
but its made me who i am
so i'd do it all again
i know i've still got a while to go
but i'm in control
i aint afraid to take a stand
its crazy how much i'm like my old man
i drink too much
and smoke more than i should
i...
