Poet Introduction
Music is my life. I'm country and proud
Country Proud
where i come from its quiet nights
expect after them friday lights
where we get a little rowdy
in the middle of nowhere
with some cold beer
and the speakers cranked
pumpin out a lot of Hank
oh
its yes ma'am
and no sir
please and thank you
thats just how we do
its cold cans
callused hands
and rockin farmers tans
its lookin someone in the eye
and knowin it aint no lie
its a dyin way of life
its respecting your elders and the soldiers fighting for you and me
it aint where you're from
its how you were raised...

The Way Them Jeans Fit
see that girl walkin in here
so damn hot
got everyone spinnin in their chair
droppin their beer
yeah she could start a fire on a snowy day
leave you tongue tied
not knowin what to say
all because
the way them jeans fit
oh thats a sight you aint ever gonna forget
got them low riders on so tight
gonna
gonna make you stare all night
droppin quarters in the juke box
just to watch her dance
mmm...she'll leave you in a trance
we sure hate to see her leave
but we sure love to watch her walk away
lookin better than you...

What Grown Folks Do
that girl sure knows how to get the mind goin
leaves me wantin to know and
i'm sure its written all over my face
aint no tryin to hide it
cant deny it
when she smiles at me that way
oh
baby why dont you slide on over here
let me whisper in your ear
and i'll tell you everything you got me wantin to get into
hey girl
we can fire up
that old truck
get away so its just me and you
hey we dont gotta tell a soul
if we want to get a little crazy
and just lose control
lets go try something a little new
and do what grown folks...

Goodbye's Never Easy

its been a long time knowin
oh
goodbyes never easy

its killin me to walk away
but we both know it'd be much worse if i chose to stay

but baby dry those tears
and let go of all your fears
we both know what we gotta do
that doesnt mean that i...

Back
its funny how the years have gone by
they aren't kiddin when they say time flies
now i'm all grown up
and yeah life gets a little tough
but you'll never hear me complain
but i cant help but miss the good ole days
staring at an old photograph
and it takes me back
to when we use to live for friday night
watchin our boys under them stadium lights
when we'd try to show off for the girls
just hopin for a kiss
its crazy all the things i miss
like me and her sittin on my tailgate
out by the lake
sometimes i wish i could go again
to...

Makes One Of Those Mornings
the way you're lookin at me
with those baby blue eyes
got me feelin a fire inside
girl you got what i want to see
so come on over here
let me pull you close
and whisper in your ear
so i can tell you whats on my mind
i hope you got a little time

and make me weak in the knees

Why God Made Me
standin out on the back porch
lookin up at the stars
smilin
all because some pretty little girl won my heart
how could it happen to me
how did she make me believe
lord she's everything i could ever need
oh
she's my angel
my saving grace
all it takes is her beautiful face
and nothing else matters
no worries
no cares
just runnin my fingers through her hair
i get lost in those blue eyes
lose all track of time
but i dont mind
cuz every second with her
and i learn
why i was put on this earth
its pretty easy...

Take My Hand
we walk a high wire above the normal life
everyone says we wont make it through the night
but we keep goin one foot in front of the other
keepin our balance
holdin on to each other
never lookin down
no we wont hit the ground
as long as we got love and faith
baby i'll be yours
if you'll be my saving grace
oh
baby take my hand
and we'll take on this world
all i need is you to be my girl
we'll run away
on a speeding train
and never look back
no never look back
as we ride down the track
we'll watch the telephone...

Still Get Crazy
you know i dont go out the way i use to
i dont throw back the shots
some would think that my partying ways were through
cuz i dont dance with all the pretty girls any more
i dont come in crawling through the door
at 4
but
i can still get crazy
swing you around
just like before baby
if you really want to get down
i'll show you a good time
if you want to get wild
flashin me that come here smile
we can hit the honkey tonk
get on stage with a band that rocks
and if some dude looks at you wrong
i have no problem knockin him...

I Warned Her
when she walked in
she saw me standing in a dark corner
she could see i'd been around
with my hat pulled down
and scuffed up boots
been kickin up a dusty trail
walkin through hell
but she took a chance
on romance
i warned her
she knew i was a cowboy when we met
but she had her mind set
on taming this wild horse
thought she could break me
what she couldn't see
was my need to run
livin fast
like a bullet shot from a gun
i never wanted to break her heart
but from the start
i warned her
she brought me...
