That Ain't Country
you know i'm kinda gettin sick
oh all these country wanna be
hypercrits
all singing about the beach
and places folks like me
dont ever get to see
unless we join the military
oh
that aint country
you're just singing some song
that some big shot wrote
goin through the motions
learnin the notes
its always the same things
talkin about dairy queen
and pick up trucks
its gettin kind of old
music rows done lost its soul
with this manufactured pop crap
come on ya'll lets take it back
cuz its about more then the...

Out Of Here
baby the way you're lookin at me
is drivin me crazy
i see that twinkle in your eyes
sure beats the night sky
i've never seen something shine so bright
its a little hard to see under these city lights
so lets try our luck
and jump in the truck
yeah got a busted up radio
but thats alright
i'll just sit and listen to you all night
i dont care where we go
just down the road
or a million miles away
as long as i get to see your pretty face
and you're rockin right next to me
girl thats all i need
so climb up in this chevy...

I Can't Drink
ya'll its sure been fun
but i can't stay
to watch the sun
go down

cuz i got a pretty little girl waitin for me at home
and from the message she left on my phone
she dont want to be alone
so
i cant drink
no dont you think
you're gonna change my mind
no not this time
she's worth more than any beer
so i'm gone
yeah brother i'm outta here
cuz with a kiss so sweet
ya'll she knocks me right off my feet
i know i dont get it either
never thought i'd be the one
to say i'm done
but...

Don't Miss You
girl i might think about you
and all the things we use to do
i might miss your kiss
and the way you'd bite your lips
i might miss that look you gave me
and the way you use to save me
but
i sure in the hell dont miss you
and everything you put me through
no a heart break like that
ain't worth ever goin back
i can find another to do everything you use to
you aint that big of a deal
i know that love was never real
so go on and say what you want to say
but you cant stay
i'll be better off with something new
no girl i dont...

She's The Good Kind Of Crazy
here she comes around the bend
spittin up dirt
and jamin it into gear again
yeah she's as wild as they can get
when she leaves
it'll be like a tornado hit
oh
she's the good kind of crazy
i love it when she calls me baby
a little insane
yeah maybe
but she grows on ya
and gets under your skin
ya'll there aint no goin back to normal again
tryin to out run her
is like tryin to out run the wind
so you might as well give in
mmm...thats my baby

Dance With Me Baby
i know some times
the world spins a little too fast
a moment here and gone
just like that
and we cant get it back
well i dont want to waste a single second with you
so i'll tell you what we ought to do
turn the lights down low
i'll play a George Strait song
nice and slow
and i'll pull you close
you can rest your head on my shoulder
and i'll put it on repeat
cuz i dont want this to be
over
cuz it would feel so right
holding you tight
so let go all the crazy
in the world tonight
and just dance with me baby
...

All She Left
all she left
was a million memories
a broken heart and a bottle of whiskey
she must have known bad it was gonna hit me
no she didn't leave a note
and she didn't say goodbye
just left me here to cry
i never saw it comin
i had no idea she was gonna take off runnin
it hit me like a ton of bricks
like a shot straight to the brain
but i guess i'm the only one to blame
oh she must have known it was gonna get me
cuz all she left was a million memories
and a bottle of whiskey
what the hell lead to this
is there something i missed...

Hypnotized By The Neon
10 pm
and i'm walkin through that door again
i sit on the same stool
order the same drink
like the same fool
yeah they all know my name
not much else has changed
it dont ever last too long
but a few rounds
and a few country songs
and i know i'll be alright
for a couple of hours
i forget about you
and everything we went through
yeah under those lights
for the night
you're gone
when i get hypnotized by the neon
i get lost in the bright
of the lights
like a moth to a flame
when i wake up in the morning...
and i'm walkin through that door again
i sit on the same stool
order the same drink

Dance In The Rain
girl do you hear it coming down out there
yeah most people are probably cuddled up
not thinking about much
but i can see that look in your eyes
and its like you read my mind
hey we might only have a little time
so
lets dance in the rain
get a little insane
like we aint got no care in the world
like its just you and me girl
take my hand
and let me twirl you around
to the sound
of the water hittin the ground
under the moon light
baby it feels so right
this is one of those nights
we wont forget
life's too short...

Who Needs The Bright Lights
its a friday night
and you're gettin all dolled up
its so hard not to touch
as you're pickin out what to wear
and what shoes go with it
and how to do your hair
you're puttin your make up on
ready to get gone
but
baby who needs the bright lights
with you by my side
i'd rather have you to myself
than share you with anyone else
so why dont we lock the door
unplug the phone
let me get you all alone
you look too damn good
to go any where
so why dont we stay right here
let me whisper in your ear
i'll pull you close...

Love The Hell Out Of Me
i've always been reckless soul
out and wondering on my own
no room for gettin tied down
no ball and chain
then you came around
and everything changed
oh
you make this sinner hit their knees
beg the good lord please
forgive me
i guess i was all bark and no bite
it just took someone like you
to make me want to do right
no more fighting
no more runnin
no more hidin
there aint no denyin
who you make me want to be
but its just fair warning
its gonna take an angel to love the hell out of me
those bright blue...
