Mud On The Tires

Brad Paisley Mud On The Tires Lyrics
1.Mud On The Tires

Written:Brad Paisley/Chris Dubois

I've got some big news
The bank finally came through
And I'm holdin' the keys to a brand new Chevrolet
Have you been outside it sure is a nice night
How about a little test drive
Down by the lake

There's a place I know about where the dirt road runs out
And we can try out the four-wheel drive
Come on now what do you say
Girl, I can hardly wait to get a little mud on the tires

'Cause it's a good night
To be out there soakin' up the moonlight
Stake out a little piece of shoreline
I've got the perfect place in mind
It's in the middle of nowhere only way to get there
You got to get a little mud on the tires

Moonlight on a duck blind
Catfish on a trot line
Sun sets about nine this time of year
We can throw a blanket down
Crickets singin' in the background
And more stars than you can count on a night this clear

I tell you what we need to do is grab a sleepin' bag or two
And build us a little campfire
And then with a little luck we might just get stuck
Let's get a little mud on the tires

'Cause it's a good night
To be out there soakin' up the moonlight
Stake out a little piece of shoreline
I've got the perfect place in mind
It's in the middle of nowhere only way to get there
You got to get a little mud on the tires

And then with a little luck we might just get stuck
Let's get a little mud on the tires


2.Celebrity

Lyrics:Brad Paisley
Music:Brad Paisley

Someday I'm gonna be famous,
Do I have talent, well, no.
These days you don't really need it,
Thanks to reality shows

Can't wait to date a supermodel,
Can't wait to sue my dad.
Can't wait to wreck a Ferrari
On my way to rehab....

Cause when you're a Celebrity
It's adios reality
You can act just like a fool
People think you're cool
Just cause your on TV.
I can throw major fits
When my latte isn't just how I like it
They say I've gone insane,
I'll blame it on the fame,
And the pressures that it goes with
Being a Celebrity

I get to cry to Barbara Walters,
When things don't go my way.
I'll get community service
No matter which law I break

I'll make the supermarket tabloids,
They'll write some awful stuff
But the more they run my name down,
The more my price goes up

Cause when you're a Celebrity,
It's adios reality.
No matter what you do,
People think you're cool,
Just cause you're on TV.
I can fall in and out of love,
Have marriages that barely last a month.
When they go down the drain
I'll blame it on fame
And say it's just so tough.
Being a Celebrity

So let's hitch up the wagons and head out west
To the land of fun in the sun
We'll be real world bachelors
Jackass Millionaires
Hey, Hey, Hollywood
Here we come!

Yeah, When you're a Celebrity
It's adios reality
No matter what you do,
People think you're cool,
Just cause you're on t.v.
...Being a Celebrity
...Yeah Celebrity!
...uh-huh

'Where's my coffee?'


3.Ain't Nothin' Like

Lyrics:Don Sampson/Wynn Varble
Music:Don Sampson/Wynn Varble

I like kickin' back on the sofa
Flippin' through the channels just to see what's on
I enjoy eatin' eggs over easy
Soppin' up with a biscuit 'til the yellow's gone

Ain't nothin' like watchin' a bunch of young'ns
Run screamin' through the sprinkler in their little bare feet
And ain't nothin' like finding twenty dollars
In the pocket of the britches that you wore last week

I get into getting out on my mower
In the early mornin' hours 'fore the sun gets hot
And I like goin' down to the Kroger
When the carnival comes to the parkin' lot

Ain't nothin' like throwing a hula popper
Draggin' it across a spot a big 'un oughta be
And ain't nothin' like having him for supper
With some good hush puppies and some sweet iced tea

This old world is full of simple pleasures
They're all good but some are better

Ain't nothin' like finding that woman
That you know you're gonna love for the rest of your life
And ain't nothin' like knowing the Lord's a comin'
Back one day to make you want to do right

Ain't nothin' like watchin' a bunch of young'ns
Run screamin' through the sprinkler in their little bare feet
And ain't nothin' like finding twenty dollars
In the pocket of the britches that you wore last week

Ain't nothin' like throwing a hula popper
Draggin' it across a spot a big 'un oughta be
And ain't nothin' like having him for supper
With some good hush puppies and some sweet iced tea


4.Little Moments

Written:Chris Dubois/Brad Paisley

Well I'll never forget the first time that I heard
That pretty mouth say that dirty word
And I can't even remember now what she backed my truck into
But she covered her mouth and her face got red
And she just looked so darn cute
That I couldn't even act like I was mad
Yeah I live for little moments like that

Well that's just like last year on my birthday
She lost all track of time and burnt the cake
And every smoke detector in the house was goin' off
And she was just about to cry until I took her in my arms
And I tried not to let her see me laugh
Yeah I live for little moments like that

I know she's not perfect but she tries so hard for me
And I thank god that she isn't 'cause how boring would that be
It's the little imperfections it's the sudden change in plans
When she misreads the directions and we're lost but holdin'
hands
Yeah I live for little moments like that

When she's layin' on my shoulder on the sofa in the dark
And about the time she falls asleep so does my right arm
And I want so bad to move it 'cause it's tinglin' and it's numb
But she looks so much like and angel that I don't wanna wake her
up
Yeah I live for little moments
When she steals my heart again and doesn't even know it
Yeah I live for little moments like that


5.That's Love

Written:Chris Dubois/Brad Paisley/Kelley Lovelace

There ain't a woman in the world that wants to hear the word yes
When she asks if you think that she looks chubby in that dress
And if she cooks all day you better eat it with a smile
It doesn't matter if it tastes just like bad gravy on a Goodyear
tire

Yeah, yeah, yeah all right so you bend the truth
Yeah, yeah, yeah that's somethin' that you'll have to get use to

'Cause that's love you'll see
We all commit a little bit of perjury
Ah but that's no crime if you ask me, that's love
You're starin' at a burnt steak
You bite the bullet and you clean your plate
And then you go on and on about how great it was
That's not a lie, that's love

Well it's the very same thing that she does for you
When she doesn't bring up the fifteen pounds that you need to
lose
And every time she runs her fingers through your hair
And she says she kinda likes the way there's not as much of it
there

Yeah, yeah, yeah well all right so she bends the truth
Yeah, yeah, yeah that's somethin' that you have to get use to

'Cause that's love you'll see
We all commit a little bit of perjury
Ah but that's no crime if you ask me, that's love
You're starin' at a burnt steak
You bite the bullet and you clean your plate
And then you go on and on about how great it was
That's not a lie, that's love

Yeah, yeah, yeah well all right so you bend the truth
Yeah, yeah, yeah that's somethin' that you'll both gonna do

'Cause that's love you'll see
We all commit a little bit of perjury
You say I like it when your momma comes to visit us
That's not a lie, that's not a lie, that's love


6.Somebody Knows You Now

Lyrics:Brad Paisley
Music:Brad Paisley

You used to say you wanted someone to know you inside out
And as I look back on things well congratulations baby
Somebody knows you now

All of this time you told me you wished that you could figure
yourself out
You say you're still a mystery but no not really not to me
Yeah somebody knows you now

I got a hundred bucks that says right now your hair's up in a
clip
Your socks don't quite match and you're bitin' your lip
I can finish your thoughts or pick the right restaurants
Even order for you 'fore you sit down
Yeah somebody knows you now

So no matter where you life's path leads
Remember me somehow
And feel a little warm inside knowin' that somewhere tonight
Somebody knows you now

Well baby all your mystery
Like you and me is history
'Cause somebody knows you now


7.Famous People

Written:Chris Dubois/Chris Wallin

Well you're the first car in an hour or so
I'm glad you stopped in, it's sure been slow around here today
Just like every day
Well I couldn't help but notice your California plates
And I thought I recognized that name on your credit card
You're a movie star
I can't wait to get back home and tell all my buddies
That I met one of the most famous people in the country

Well, I only go to movies when I'm down in Bowling Green
And cable don't come out this far so I never watch TV
I know you played in something but I'm gonna need some help
Hey wait, weren't you in Cannonball Run, no, oh well

Allow me to introduce myself
My name ain't John, this is somebody else's greasy shirt my
name's Kurt
This is the town that I grew up in
I've never seen L.A., the closest I've been to Hollywood is
Hollywood
But when you get back to Beverly Hills, you can tell all your
buddies
That you met one of the most famous people in the country

'Cause I caught the record small mouth down on Kentucky Lake
And I threw the winning touchdown pass the night that we won
state
And I'm still signing autographs after all these years
Oh, yeah I guess I'm gonna need yours, sign um here

I've been thinking about doing some acting someday
If I ever do make it out to L.A., can I give you a shout
Maybe crash on your couch
If you hear of any roles that are floating around
That would put me and Ashley Judd makin' out in a steamy love
scene
I'd work pretty cheap
If the phones are down, just ask around you'll get a hold of me
'Cause I'm one of the most famous people in the country

You're talkin' to one of the most famous people in the country


8.Hold Me In Your Arms(And Let Me Fall)

Written:Brad Paisley/Chris Dubois/Kelley Lovelace

Hold me in your arms just see how it feels
Don't make me wait forever just because you know I will
Don't leave me hangin', wishin', waitin', hopin' that you'll
call
Darlin' hold me in your arms and let me fall

You've got reservations, well darlin' so do I
But mine are at a restaurant six-thirty Friday night
I swear you won't regret it if you agree to go
Just do me one small favor before you tell me no

Hold me in your arms just see how it feels
Don't make me wait forever just because you know I will
Don't leave me hangin', wishin', waitin', hopin' that you'll
call
Darlin' hold me in your arms and let me fall

When you go out shopping you try on brand new clothes
To see if something fits or not there's just one way to know
Why's it any different when someone asks you out
You might as well just try me on before you turn me down

Hold me in your arms just see how it feels
Don't make me wait forever just because you know I will
Don't leave me hangin', wishin', waitin', hopin' that you'll
call
Darlin' hold me in your arms and let me fall

Yeah darlin' hold me in your arms and let me fall


9.Whiskey Lullaby

Written:John Randall/Bill Anderson
Artist:Brad Paisley/Alison Krauss

She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette.
She broke his heart:He spent his whole life trying to forget.
We watched him drink his pain away, a little at a time,
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind,
Until the night:
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger.
And finally drank away her memory.
Life is short, but this time it was bigger,
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees.
We found him with his face down in the pillow,
With a note that said: 'I'll love her till I die.'
And when we buried him beneath the willow,
The angels sang a whiskey lullabye.
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la.
La la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la.

The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself.
For years and years, she tried to hide the whiskey on her
breath.
She finally drank her pain away, a little at a time,
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind.

Until the night:
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger.
And finally drank away his memory.
Life is short, but this time it was bigger,
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees.
We found her with her face down in the pillow,
Clinging to his picture for dear life.
We laid her next to him beneath the willow,
While the angels sang a whiskey lullabye.
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la.
La la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la.

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la.

La la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la.


10.The Best Thing That I Had Goin'

Written:Jerry Salley/Chris Stapleton

Finally got that promotion I worked hard to get
One that came with a company car
When they gave me the keys they said son you can bet
Keep it up and you'll really go far

But what good is all that knowin'
The best thing that I had goin'
Is gone

My good friends come around to hang out now and then
And they joke, man you've sure got it hard
With this house on the hill and a white picket fence
And the grass sure is green in the yard

But what good is all that knowin'
The best thing that I had goin'
Is gone

Well I squandered my time trying to buy everything
Gave her all that I thought she deserved
Now I know all the things that she wanted were free
And I should have been home holdin' her

But what good is all that knowin'
The best thing that I had goin'
Is gone


11.The Cigar Song

Lyrics:Brad Paisley
Music:Brad Paisley

Well I'm a sucker for fine Cuban cigars
The problem is I can't afford 'em
But last year I went and got myself a whole box
And just to be safe I insured 'em

I took out a policy against fire and theft
And then I hurried home
With a thirty-cent lighter I sat on my back steps
And I smoked 'em one by one

Two weeks later I went to see that insurance man
And I handed in my claim
With a straight face I told him that through a series of small
fires
They'd all gone up in flames

They reviewed my case and they had no choice
But to pay me for what I'd done
And I took that check and bought a whole new box
And I smoked 'em one by one

Two weeks later this detective shows up
Tells me that company's pressin' charges
One speedy trial later they locked me up
On twenty-four separate counts of arson

And now I sit and I stare at a blank brick wall
Lookin' back on what I've done
To pass the time I've got some ten-cent cigars
And I smoke 'em one by one
Yeah, I smoke 'em one by one


12.Make A Mistake

Lyrics:Brad Paisley
Music:Brad Paisley

You over think things
You say what if we're not meant to be
Well you know what so what
Make a mistake with me

Nobody goes through this life and does
Everything perfectly
We're all gonna fail so you might as well
Make a mistake with me

Sometimes baby when we take
A chance that has this much at stake
We look back and in hindsight
What seemed wrong looks more like right

So I say worst case we'll be left with
Lots of good memories
This chance we have well it's worth that
So make a mistake with me

I'm tellin' you the right thing to do
Is make a mistake
Make a mistake
Make a mistake with me


13.Make A Mistake With Me

(Instrumental)


14.Is It Raining At Your House

Written:Hank Cochran/Dean Dillon/Vern Gosdin

Is it raining at your house like it's raining at mine
Do you miss me like I miss you, is it cloudy all the time
Do you tremble when the phone rings and you think I'm on the
line
Is it raining at your house like it's raining at mine

Does it thunder and lightnin' even when the sun shines
Is it raining at your house like it's raining at mine

Is it raining at your place just like it is over here
If it is then sweetheart like me I know you're scared
I just called you to console you like any old friend would do
Is it raining at your house and by the way I still love you

Does it thunder and lightnin' even when the sun shines
Is it raining at your house like it's raining at mine

Is it raining at your house like it's raining at mine


15.Spaghetti Western Swing

(Instrumental)


16.Farther Along

Tempted and tried we're oft made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long
While there are others living about us
Never molested though in the wrong

Farther along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by

When death has come and taken our loved ones
It leaves our home so lonely and drear
And then do we wonder why others prosper
Living so wicked year after year

Farther along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by

When we see Jesus coming in glory
When he comes down from his home in the sky
Then we shall meet him in that bright mansion
We'll understand it all by and by

Farther along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by

Yeah we'll understand it all by and by
