1.I Can Take It From There
Ain't nothin' goin' on in town tonight.
Except a loud party crowd drinkin' too much beer,
So baby tell me would it be alright
If we just take a little rain check and stay right here.
I'm sure we could find somethin' to do,
As a matter of fact baby why don't you
Grab a couple glasses and a bottle of wine.
Walk down the hall and turn down the lights,
Baby while you're at it you might as well let down your hair
And I can take if from there.
Yeah, I can take it from there.
I'm gonna put an ol' record on, Conway Twitty.
Yell girl I'd love to lay you down.
Kill the ringer on the telephone,
Ain't gonna stop lovin' you til the candle burns out.
Oh there it is, that little smile of yours.
Come on baby what you waitin' for.
Grab a couple glasses and a bottle of wine,
Walk down the hall and turn down the lights,
Baby while you're at it you might as well let down your hair.
And I can take it from there.
Tomorrows' gonna be here way too soon.
Let's not waste another minute,
girl I got plans for me and you.
Just grab a couple glasses and that bottle of wine,
Walk down the hall and darlin' turn down those lights.
Baby while you're at it you might as well let down your hair.
And I can take it from there,
Oh, I can take it from there,
I can take it from there, yeah.
2.Lost
I'm out on the highway, just about a mile away
Meet me out in the driveway
I'm gonna be there soon
I'll swing by and pick you up
Don't bother getting fixed up
Me and you and this old truck
will find something to do
No I ain't got no plan in mind
It's such a perfect night so I just thought
We could go get lost
Lost down some old back road
Lost in a song on the radio
Lost in your deep blue eyes
I don't care if we spend all night
Lost by the river cross the turnpike
Somewhere near nowhere is my favorite thing to do
What you say girl me and you
Go get a little lost
Come on baby let's go
When we get there we'll know
No bars on the cellphone
Sounds good to me
We can find us a place to park
By the water underneath the stars
And do a little fishin' in the dark
If you know what I mean
Well all we need's a tank a gas
So grab that GPS and turn it off
Let's go get lost
Lost down some old back road
Lost in a song on the radio
Lost in your deep blue eyes
I don't care if we spend all night
Lost by the river cross the turnpike
Somewhere near nowhere is my favorite thing to do
What you say girl me and you
Go get a little lost
No I ain't got no plan in mind
It's such a perfect night
So I just thought we could get
Lost down some old back road
Lost in a song on the radio
Lost in your deep blue eyes
I don't care if we spend all night
Lost by the river cross the turnpike
Somewhere near nowhere is my favorite thing to do
What you say girl me and you
Go get a little lost
3.Tomorrow
Tomorrow I'm gonna leave here.
I'm gonna let you go and walk away
Like every day I said I would.
And tomorrow, I'm gonna listen.
To that voice of reason inside my head
Telling me that we're no good.
But tonight I'm gonna give in one last time.
Rock you strong in these arms of mine.
Forget all the regrets that are bound to follow.
We're like fire and gasoline.
I'm no good for you, you're no good for me.
We only bring each other tears and sorrow.
But tonight, I'm gonna love you like there's no...
Tomorrow I'll be stronger.
I'm not gonna break down and call you up
When my heart cries out for you.
And tomorrow, you won't believe it,
But when I pass your house,
I won't stop no matter how bad I want to.
But tonight I'm gonna give in one last time.
Rock you strong in these arms of mine.
Forget all the regrets that are bound to follow.
We're like fire and gasoline.
I'm no good for you, you're no good for me.
We only bring each other tears and sorrow.
But tonight, I'm gonna love you like there's no... tomorrow
Oh baby when we're good, you know we're great.
But there's too much bad for us to think
That there's anything worth trying to save.
But tonight I'm gonna give in one last time.
Rock you strong in these arms of mine.
Forget all the regrets that are bound to follow.
We're like fire and gasoline.
I'm no good for you, you're no good for me.
We only bring each other tears and sorrow.
But tonight, I'm gonna love you like there's no...
Tomorrow, I'm gonna leave here.
Yea I'm gonna let you go and walk away
Like every day I said I would.
4.Save WaterDrink Beer
It ain't rained in four months
One cigarette spark will burn the whole town up
That ole well is plum dry
The city put a limit on the water you can buy
We don't mind cause 'round here
We save water and drink beer
Ice cold, genuine, raise 'em up, drip 'em dry
Holler and swaller y'all
Support your local wildlife
Do your part around here
Save water, drink beer
We're goin' green, hey look at us
We're maybe even doin' just a little too much
Poppin' tops, gettin' tans
And that's the price we'll pay 'til the long drought ends
We help the world around here
We save water and drink beer
Ice cold, genuine, raise 'em up, drip 'em dry
Holler and swaller y'all
Support your local wildlife
Do your part around here
Save water, drink beer
Drink beer!
Bottoms here
Let's start tonight
Plant a seed and tell a friend
And I think I could drink a little
Ice cold, genuine, raise 'em up, drip 'em dry
Holler and swaller y'all
Support your local wildlife
Do your part around here
We save water and drink beer
Say it loud and say it clear
Save water and drink beer
Hey Yeah, drink beer
5.Neon
The sky in Cheyenne, Wyoming
Is just about as blue as it gets
And if you ain't seen a Santa Fe sunset,
You ain't seen red
Texas sunflower yellow
Can take your breath away
I've seen it all
From the orange of the fall
To the green of the summer,
But my favorite color is
Neon, the light they always leave on
A weekend on the rocks
And an old school jukebox
With a little Johnny Lee on
The buzz I love to be on
You put a double on your troubles
The light at this end of the tunnel is neon
The sun can do the job in the daytime,
But the moon ain't quite bright enough
To light up the way to playtime for people like us
Just like a beach side beacon
Callin' all the ships back home
A few thousand volts to cut through the smoke
The windows are tinted
That's why they invented
Neon, the light they always leave on
The weekend on the rocks
And an old school jukebox
With a little Johnny Lee on
It's the buzz I love to be on
You put a double on your troubles
The light at this end of the tunnel is always neon
You know I've seen it all
From the orange of the fall
To the green of the summer,
But my favorite color is
Neon, the light they always leave on
Put a double on your troubles
The light at this end of the tunnel is neon
6.Old Love Feels New
Grand-daddy always said
When he was 17 he met the girl,
the one in all his dreams
And man that was it was it
he never once looked back
He found something
He just knew was gonna last
And if you ask him bout that day
He'll just tap his chest
And say
That's how you know
When it grabs a hold and won't let go
And you feel like she's always been in your soul
And as time goes by she's still surprising you
That's how you it's true
When a new love feels old
And an old love feels new
He said I walked up to her door
And I was shaking like a leave there on her porch
Til she flashed that smile at me
Son she took my breathe away
And she still does to this day
That's how you know
When it grabs a hold of you and won't let go
When you feel like she's always been in your soul
And as time goes by she's still surprising you
That's how you know it's true
When a new love feel old
And an old love feels new
And now I finally see just what he means
Cause that's how I feel
Now that you're with me
That's how I know
Cause you grabbed a hold of me and won't let go
And it feels like you've always been in my soul
That's how you know
When it grabs a hold and won't let go
When you feel like she's always been in your soul
And as time goes by she's still surprising you
That's how you know it's true
When a new love feels old
And an old love feels new
7.You
The bluest skies don't seem so blue
And the stars seem to be a little dimmer too
Now that you're around you put them all to shame
Let me break it down cause what I'm trying to say is
No one gets me like you when you kiss me
Girl you rock me hotter than some downtown band
I thought I knew what love was but I didn't have a clue
I've never found anything that makes me feel like I do about
You
Got a whole new direction it seems these days
I use to rush off from work and get home late
But now I show up late and rush back home
My priorities are different I can't leave you alone
No one gets me like you when you kiss me
Girl you rock me hotter than some downtown band
I thought I knew what love was but I didn't have a clue
I've never found anything that makes me feel like I do about
You
Girl if you ever get to guessing if I'm thinking bout you
Just remember that
No one gets me like you when you kiss me
Girl you rock me hotter than some downtown band
I thought I knew what love was but I didn't have a clue
I've never found anything that makes me feel like I do about
You
You oh you
8.Flashlight
He said son hold it still
Keep that beam shining straight
He'd have a 9/16ths in one hand
Working on that Chevrolet
It seemed like every Saturday
Soon as the sun went down
We'd be huddled underneath that hood
Tinkering around
And of all the great memories I have
The best ones are those nights,
just me and my dad
He'll never how much he taught me
Out in that garage
And I guess the stuff that stuck
Was more about life than fixing cars
Cause to this day I still can't make them run right
But I sure did learn a lot
Just holding the flashlight
He told me a lot of stories
About Grandpa and the war
While he was trying to show me
What a carburator's for
I learned a couple cuss words
When he skinned his knuckles up
And I found out momma was the only girl
He ever really loved
But when I asked him about women, he just laughed
Said if we stayed out here all year
We wouldn't have time enough for that
He'll never how much he taught me
Out in that garage
And I guess the stuff that stuck
Was more about life than fixing cars
Cause to this day I still can't make them run right
But I sure did learn a lot
Just holding the flashlight
And to this day I still can't make them run right
But deep inside I know that it's alright
Cause I sure did learn a lot
Just holding the flashlight
Thanks Dad
9.When She's On
She turns every head coming down the sidewalk
In that red sundress that she just bought
Causing a traffic jam on a greenlight
A string of pearls showing off her suntan
And all those curls dancing 'round her RayBans
If you think that's something to see
You ought to see her when she's on that front porch
In those cut-off jeans
And that Texas Longhorns t-shirt
Hair drying in the breeze
Humming along to some old Haggard song
You ought to see her when she's on
Down at the office in those high heels
Looking like a million, closing big deals
She'll remind the boys eyes are way up here
Yeah that'll make you smile ear to ear
You ought to see her when she's on that leather couch
Reading that fairy tale
To a sleepy eyed little girl
In pajamas and ponytails
Saying one day your prince charming will come along
You ought to see her when she's on
Oh you ought to see her when she's on that front porch
In those old cut-off jeans
And that Texas Longhorns t-shirt
Smiling back at me
When you see her dressed to kill
And it drops your jaw
You ought to see her when she's on that leather couch
Reading that fairy tale that's when she's on
That's when she's on that front porch
In those old cut-off jeans
That's when she's on
Oh when she's on
That's when she's on
10.She's Got This Thing About Her
It might be your smile,
cause it can change my day
Blue eyes that chase my blues away
It might be your touch
That keeps me coming back for more
Loving words that keep me going strong
That heart of hers I hang my future on
What it is, well, I can't say for sure
It's just she's got this thing about her
She's got this thing about her
Like the magic in your favorite song
You just can't put your finger on
In her arms when we're all alone
I get the feeling that I've come back home
She's got this thing about her
She stops time when she moves through a room
When she leaves she's always gone too soon
And I'm counting down the minutes till she's back
She's the love I've known eternally
It always feels brand new to me
I can't separate the fiction from the fact
It's just she's got this thing about her
She's got this thing about her
Like a hymn in a cathedral hall
Watching April snowflakes fall
In her arms when we're all alone
I get the feeling that I've come back home
She's got this thing about her
Like the magic in your favorite song
You just can't put your finger on
She's got this thing about her
11.I'm Gonna Change That
That little girl knows a lot about cheating
Caught her red handed too many times
She knows a lot about lying and leaving
Never had someone who really walked the line
I'm gonna change that
That girl won't be lonely long
I'm gonna change that
She's gonna know where she belongs
Right now she thinks her heart's just made for breakin'
But I'm gonna change that
She knows a little too much about teardrops
Cried her a mile wide river of them
All that bad luck's got her thinking she's star crossed
Always long gone, over 'fore it ever begins
I'm gonna change that
That girl won't be lonely long
I'm gonna change that
She's gonna know where she belongs
Right now she thinks her heart's just made for breakin'
But I'm gonna change that
She don't know it yet but I'm already hers for the taking
And right now she thinks her heart's just made for breakin'
I'm gonna change that
That girl won't be lonely long
I'm gonna change that
No more humming them heartache songs
Honey I'm gonna change that
You're gonna know where you belong
That it's right here with me
By my side
Forget about those tears you cried
Honey I'm gonna change that
Oh I'm gonna change that
12.Don't Leave Her (If You Can't Let Her Go)
You say you and her are really over
Don't wanna make up just to fall apart again
You say you want off this roller coaster
Well, friend, let me ask you this
Can you stand to see her dancin' in somebody else's arms?
Do you think that you'll go crazy every time you see her car?
If you can't scroll by her number, not dial it on your phone
Well that's all you need to know
Don't leave her
If you can't let her go
I ain't saying you ain't got good reason
For wanting to take a match to everything
But before you set your mind on leavin'
You really oughta stop and think
Can you run across her picture and not wonder where she is?
Can you catch the scent of her perfume and not think about her
kiss?
If you can't stop dreamin' 'bout her when you're sleepin' all
alone
Well that's all you need to know
Don't leave her
Swallow your pride and turn this thing around
Cause this here is a road
You don't wanna go down
If you can't stand to see her dancin' in somebody else's arms
Or you think that you'll go crazy every time you see her car
If you can't scroll by her number and not dial it on your phone
Well that's all you need to know
Don't leave her
Don't leave her
If you can't let her go
If you can't let her go
