5th Gear

Brad Paisley 5th Gear Lyrics
1.All I Wanted Was A Car

My buddy Blake was All-State
With dreams of the NFL
Jenny McClain had big brains
She got a scholarship to Yale.
Then there was Herschel
Did two commercials
And he was gonna be a movie star
But all I wanted was a car
Had a part-time job
Making chicken kebabs
At the food court at the mall
I hauled my uncle's trash
I cut my neighbor's grass
My parents they were stunned
How this former lazy bum
Suddenly was working so hard
But all I wanted was a car
When I was sixteen
When I was sixteen
All of my dreams
Revolved around one thing
All I wanted was a car
All I wanted was a car
All of my dreams
Revolved around one thing
All I wanted was a car
All I wanted was a car
All I wanted was a car
All I wanted was a car
Had a part-time job
When I was sixteen
All I wanted was a car
My parents they were stunned


2.Ticks

Every time you take a sip
In this smoky atmosphere
You press that bottle to your lips
And I wish I was your beer
In the small there of your back
Your jeans are playing peekaboo
Hey that gives me an idea
Let's get out of this bar
Drive out into the country
'Cause I'd like to see you out in the moonlight
I'd like to kiss you way back in the sticks
I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers
I know the perfect little path
Out in these woods I used to hunt
Don't worry babe I've got your back
And I've also got your front
I'll keep you safe you wait and see
You know every guy in here tonight
Would like to take you home
But I've got way more class than them
'Cause I'd like to see you out in the moonlight
I'd like to kiss you way back in the sticks
I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers
You never know where one might be
There's lots of places that are hard to reach
I'd like to see you out in the moonlight
I'd like to kiss you baby way back in the sticks
I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers
And I'd like to check you for ticks.
I'd sure like to check you for ticks...

I know the perfect little path
You never know where one might be
'Cause I'd like to see you out in the moonlight
'Cause I'd like to see you out in the moonlight
I'd like to see you out in the moonlight
Hey that gives me an idea
I'll keep you safe you wait and see
You know every guy in here tonight
Every time you take a sip


3.Online

I work down at the pizza pit
And I drive and old Hundai
I still live with my mom and dad
I'm a Sci-fi fantatic
Mild athsmatic
Never been to 2nd base
But there's a whole nother me
That you need to see
Cause online I'm down in Hollywood
I'm 6'5 and I look damn good
I drive a Mazarati
I'm a black belt in Karate
It turns girls on that I'm mysterious
I tell 'em I don't want nothing serious
Cause even on a slow day I can have a three way
I'm so much cooler online
I get home, I kiss my mom
And she fixes me a snack
I head down to my basement bedroom
In real life, the only time I
Ever even been to LA
Was when I got the chance with the marching band
Online I live in Malibu
I posed for Calvin Kline, I've been in GQ
I'm single and I'm rich
It turns girls on that I'm mysterious
I tell 'em I don't want nothing serious
Cause even on a slow day I can have a three way
I'm so much cooler online
When you got my kinda stacks, it's hard to get a date
Let alone a real girlfriend
But I grow another foot
And I lose a bunch of weight everytime I log in

Online I'm out in Hollywood
I'm 6'5 and I look damn good
Even on a slow day, I can have a three way
I'm so much cooler online
Yeah I'm cooler online
I'm so much cooler online
Yeah I'm cooler online


Yeah I'm cooler online
It turns girls on that I'm mysterious
It turns girls on that I'm mysterious
In real life, the only time I
I'm so much cooler online
I'm so much cooler online
I'm so much cooler online
Cause online I'm down in Hollywood
I'm a Sci-fi fantatic
I work down at the pizza pit
I get home, I kiss my mom
Online I live in Malibu
When you got my kinda stacks, it's hard to get a date


4.Letter To Me

If I could write a letter to me
And send it back in time to myself at 17
First I'd prove it's me by saying look under your bed
There's a Skoal can and a Playboy no one else would know you hid
And then I'd say I know it's tough
When you break up after seven months
And yeah I know you really liked her and it just don't seem fair
And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
She wasn't right for you
And still you feel like there's a knife sticking out of your
back
And you're wondering if you'll survive
You'll make it through this and you'll see
At the stop sign at Tomlinson and Eighth
Always stop completely don't just tap your breaks
And when you get a date with Bridgett make sure the tank is full
On second thought forget it that one turns out kinda cool
Each and every time you have a fight
Just assume you're wrong and dad is right
And you really should thank Mrs. Brinkman
She spent so much extra time
It's like she sees the diamond underneath
And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
Tonight's the bonfire rally
But you're staying home instead because if you fail Algebra
Mom and dad will kill you dead
Trust me you'll squeak by and get a C
You've got so much up ahead
You'll make new friends
You should see your kids and wife
And I'd end by saying have no fear
I guess I'll see you in the mirror
When you're a grown man
And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
I wish you'd study Spanish
I wish you'd take a typing class
I wish you wouldn't worry, let it be
If I could write a letter to me
To me

And oh you got so much going for you going right
And oh you got so much going for you going right
You've got so much up ahead
If I could write a letter to me
If I could write a letter to me
And oh you got so much going for you going right
I guess I'll see you in the mirror
At the stop sign at Tomlinson and Eighth


5.I'm Still A Guy

I can hear you now talkin' to your friends
These days there's dudes getting' facials
When you see a deer, you see Bambi
And I see antlers up on the wall
When you see a lake you think picnics
You're probably thinkin' that you're gonna change me
In some ways well maybe you might
Scrub me down, dress me up
Oh but no matter what,
Remember, I'm still a guy
When you see a priceless French painting
I see a drunk naked girl
You think that riding a wild bull sounds crazy
Well love makes a man do some things he ain't proud of
And in a weak moment I might
Walk you sissy dog, hold your purse at the mall
And I'll pour out my heart, hold your hand in the car
Write a love song that makes you cry
Then turn right around, knock some jerk to the ground
I can hear you now talkin' to your friends
Sayin' yeah girls he's come a long way
From draggin' his knuckles and carryin' a club
But when you say a backrub means only a backrub
And you swat my hand when I try
Well now what can I say at the end of the day
And I'll pour out my heart
Hold your hand in the car
Write a love song that makes you cry
Then turn right around
Knock some jerk to the ground
These days there's dudes getting' facials
Manicured, waxed, and Botoxed
With deep spray-on tans and creamy lotiony hands
Yeah with all of these men linin' up to get neutered
And headin' out to be feminized
But I don't highlight my hair, I've still got a pair
Oh, my eyebrows ain't plucked, there's a gun in my truck
Oh thank God I'm still a guy
end
You're probably thinkin' that you're gonna change me
Well love makes a man do some things he ain't proud of
But when you say a backrub means only a backrub
And I'll pour out my heart, hold your hand in the car
And I'll pour out my heart
Oh, my eyebrows ain't plucked, there's a gun in my truck
Yeah with all of these men linin' up to get neutered


6.Some Mistakes

You may think I'm worng for you
You're wrong for me
To look at us on paper I would have to agree
It coulda been the moonlight couda been the wine
The way that we were acting hell it coulda been moonshine
And oh where do we go from here
Some misakes are too much fun
There's this little straight stretch just south of here
It's great for mashing down the gas and trying out fifth gear
But it's also a speed trap and twice I've gotten caught
But something 'bout it calls to me and I can't seem to stop
And oh you have the same effect I know I'll just keep coming
Some mistakes are too much fun
There are things in life that I regret
And even more that haven't happened yet
It would be a shame if our little fling
Someday if we're lucky we'll get old enough
To finally be embarassed by the crazy things we've done
Be just like our parents, responsible and bland
Some mistakes are too much fun
To only make
Love like this is too much fun
To only make once
end
Someday if we're lucky we'll get old enough
Some misakes are too much fun
Some mistakes are too much fun
There's this little straight stretch just south of here
There are things in life that I regret


Some mistakes are too much fun


7.It Did

A single red rose and a table for two
a nice chardonnay and an ocean view
ships coming in and stars coming out
we sat and we talked until the place closed down
then we took a long walk down on the beach
Her and that white dress and her bare feet
we stopped and we watched that light house light
I pulled her close and i held on tight
and I said to myself
it doesn't get better than this
Fast forward to that next spring
we were looking for a preacher
Picking out rings
Family coming in and friends coming out
To that little white church on the outskirts of town
Me in that tux fighting butterflies
Tears of joy in my mamma's eyes
Her daddy walking her down the aisle
and I said to myself
it doesn't get better than this
no it doesn't get better than this
Just when I start thinking its as good as it can get
This crazy life does something just to let me know
Nine months later nearly to the day
There we were flying down the interstate
Car weaving in, car weaving out
Through traffic running every red light in town
Delivery room and the doctor comes in
I'm right beside her she's squeezing my hand
One more push and a baby cries
And I said to myself
it doesn't get better than this
But it did, it did, oh it did
Yes, it did
end
Fast forward to that next spring
Just when I start thinking its as good as it can get
and I said to myself
Nine months later nearly to the day
And I said to myself


Fast forward to that next spring
But it did, it did, oh it did


8.Mr. Policeman

Well hey, hey Mr. Policeman
Bet I can drive faster'n you can
C'mon hoss lets have some fun
Go on shoot me with a radar gun
You look bored and I sure am
Catch me if you can
Hey hey mr. policeman
I got a 75 firebird trans am
With a 455 up under the hood
Me and my brother got it runnin good
Wake up behind me in a mole grey van
Catch me if you can
Go on turn on your blue lights (sooo pretty!)
You know you want to I just flew by
I can see you feel it now
Hows my dust taste in your mouth?
C'mon smokey its time to race
Lets have us a high speed chase
Well hey hey mr. policeman
Chopper in the air and a couple of swat vans
That's not fair they're blockin the road
Now where am I supposed to go?
Catch me if you can
Hey hey mr. policeman
Bet I can run faster'n you can
And your cowboy boots,
With your big pot belly
100 bucks says you won't shoot
know these woods like the back of my hand
Go turn on your spotlight
I got running shoes and I'm younger than you
And I got all night
There's no way you're keeping up with me
So go on back to Krispy Kreme
If you wanna quit, I understand
Hey, hey, Mr. Policeman
Hey, hey, Mr. Policeman
Go turn on your spotlight
Hey, hey, Mr. Policeman
Well hey, hey Mr. Policeman
Catch me if you can


9.If Love Was A Plane

Shes 98 pounds working down at the Dairy Queen.
With an oval-vee home perm, and braces.
and He's long haired, no job and just 19
They got a baby on the way.
Look at em' go.
Now what in the world can go wrong?
Don't tell them the odds, It's best they don't know.
At the Ivey at lunchtime, in Beverly Hills,
The paparazzis are gathered outside.
'cause an actor and actress are havin' lunch.
Tonight they're in Love,
Now look at em' go,
Now what in the world can go wrong?
Don't tell them the odds, It's best they don't know.
Imagine now, the pilots voice,
on the intercom right before we leave the ground.
sayin, folks thanks for flyin with us, but theres a 6 in 10
But, that's the strangest thing about this emotion,
even knowin', our chances are small.
We line up, at the gate with our tickets,
Thinkin' somehow we're different,
We're in Love.
Look at us go,
Now what in the world can go wrong?
To hell with the odds, we'd rather not know,
If love was a plane, Nobody'd get on.
Yeah,
If love was a plane, Nobody'd get on.
end
Tonight they're in Love,
We're in Love.
At the Ivey at lunchtime, in Beverly Hills,
Imagine now, the pilots voice,
Look at em' go.


But, that's the strangest thing about this emotion,


10.Oh Love Featuring Carrie Underwood

Brad Paisley Featuring Carrie Underwood - Oh Love(Brad)
Strong like a mother holds her child
Free as horses runnin wild
And real as a prayer on a lonely night

Oh love
Oh love
All the many colors that you're made of
You heel
You bleed
You're the simple truth and you're the biggest mystery
Oh love
Oh love(Carrie)
Deep as the life from God's own breath
Endless even after death
Gone like the sunset(Brad)
You can break a heart in pieces
Put it back together again(Carrie)
You can break down sweet forgiveness
Hey yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh love
Oh love
All the many colors that you're made of
You heel
You bleed
You're the simple truth and you're the biggest mystery
Oh love
Oh love(Carrie)

Hey yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

11.Better Than This

That sleepy little campfire.
Popped and kinda crackled.
We were heating up the pork and beans.
And Bubba said, man it don't
get any better than this.
If you know what I mean. We sat there for a minute.
Listening to the crickets. Thinking this was
pretty hard to beat. 'Til Junior stood up.
Spit in the fire and said. Boy's, I hate to disagree.(Chorus 1)
But if a busload of women,
really good-looking women just suddenly pulled in here.
And ol' Joe T. Garcia showed up with
fajitas. And a hundred gallon keg of beer.
And Haggard dropped by and brought Willie with him.
And they started taking
requests. Now don't get me wrong boy's.
If Bill Dance and Hank Parker floated by in a boat.
And volunteered to be our fishing guides.
And Richard Petty pulled up in
the old 43 car. And asked us if we wanted a ride.
We'd all sit around.
Singing 'Poncho and Lefty'.
Playing poker, smokingbig cigars.
Now don't take offense ya'll.
I'm perfectly content. Just sitting here under the stars.(Chorus
2)
But if a busload of women,
really good-looking women just suddenly pulled in here.
And ol' Emeril Lagasse showed up with
kielbasa. And a hundred gallon keg of beer.
And Haggard dropped by and brought Willie with him.
And they started taking
requests. Now don't get me wrong boy's.
This is pretty good.
But it could get better than this. (Chorus 3)
But if a busload of women,
really good-looking women just suddenly pulled in here.
And Little Jimmy Dickens showed up with
fried chicken. And a hundred gallon keg of beer.
Merle Haggard dropped by and brought Willie with him.
And they started
taking requests. Now don't get me wrong boy's.
This is pretty good.
But it could get better than this.
Yeah don't get me
wrong boys.
This is pretty good. But it could get better than this.

If Bill Dance and Hank Parker floated by in a boat.


12.With You,Without You

You really left your mark
On this old house
And this old heart
I see you everywhere
And when I close my eyes
You're still there
And I know
You want me to move on
Start living a new life
Start writing a new song
Don't worry, I ain't going to ask you
To come back and love me
Baby you don't have to
It's not that hard at all
It's like you're out of town
Just forgot to call
Just because you walked away
Doesn't mean my feelings have to change
You want me to move on
Stop living an old life
Stop singing an old song
Don't worry, I ain't going to ask you
To come back and love me
Baby you don't have to
Ohhhh and If you're gone for good
I know you'll go far
Cuz how I fell about you
Yeah... and I know
You want me to move on
Start living a new life
Stop singing an old song
But I can be in love with you
No matter where you go
No matter what you do
I can be in love with you, without you
END..............
It's not that hard at all
Ohhhh and If you're gone for good
Yeah... and I know
You want me to move on
You really left your mark

14.Bigger Fish To Fry Featuring Kung Pao Buckaroos

I said a bad word when I was a kid.
Mamma said that I'd be sorry for the sin that I did.
My daddy whooped me and the
preacher said shame.
But I cuss,
And I smoke,
I laugh at dirty jokes.
The minor vices, man I know 'em well.
I've closed down bars.
I've lusted in my heart.
My exes think I oughta burn in hell.
But the devil, he won't notice when I die.
Politicians taking pork barrel bribes.
Crooked CEOs are getting off with no time.
Christmas Eve burglars stealing good children's toys.
(Can't say Christmas).
I cuss,
I smoke,
I laugh at dirty jokes.
The minor vices, man I know 'em well.
I've closed down bars (yeah, many a one).
I've lusted in my heart.
My ex thinks that I oughta burn in hell.
But the devil, won't even notice when I die. (bet he does)
Yeah there's gonna be bonfire burning
An everlasting barbecue
But with all the bad stuff going on,
There ain't gonna be room for me and you.(Chorus 2)
'Cause we cuss,
We smoke.
We laugh at Tater's jokes. (spoken)-> Tell one Jim.
'You know you're old when your wife says '
honey let's run upstairs and make love' and
your answer is 'I cannot do both.''
The minor vices, man we know em well.
We've closed down bars.
We've lusted in our hearts.
Our exes think we ougta burn in hell.
(you got it wrong, it's the other way round)
But the devil, he won't notice when we die.
Hey, don't you figure he's got bigger fish to fry?
Yeah don't you figure he's got bigger fish to fry?
Pass the tartar sauce
When we all get to heaven what a day of rejoicing it will be
But I cuss,
I cuss,
Yeah there's gonna be bonfire burning
Politicians taking pork barrel bribes.
Yeah there's gonna be bonfire burning


15.When We All Get To Heaven

Brad Paisley - When We All Get To Heavens
Sing the wondrous love of Jesus,
Sing His mercy and His grace.
In the mansions bright and blessed
When we all get to Heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
While we walk the pilgrim pathway,
Clouds will overspread the sky;
But when traveling days are over,
When we all get to Heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We'll sing and shout the victory! Let us then be true and
faithful,
Onward to the prize before us!
Soon His beauty we'll behold;
Soon the pearly gates will open;
When we all get to Heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We'll sing and shout the victory!
When we all see Jesus,
We'll sing and shout the victory!

When we all get to Heaven,
When we all get to Heaven,
When we all get to Heaven,
While we walk the pilgrim pathway,
