1.How I Got To Be This Way
I rolled my Daddy's truck off the Dicksonville curve
After drinkin' my fifth beer
And I fed hogs tryin' to pay him off
Most of my senior year
I got my jaw jacked by a big ol' boy
For messing 'round with his girlfriend
She was tall and tight and she kissed just right
But I'll never do that again
Yeah I've done some pretty stupid things but hey
I'm a little bit harder and
A whole lot smarter
That's how I got to be this way
I've been kicked in the face by a horse
Cause I ran up too fast behind him
And I shook hands on a deal with a man
And found out he was lyin'
I've broken a couple of good girl's hearts
Cause I've said I loved 'em knowin' I couldn't
And I've given my heart to a woman
Who said she'd stay when I knew she wouldn't
Yeah I've done some pretty stupid things but hey
I'm a little bit harder and
A whole lot smarter
That's how I got to be this way
I've been hit I've been burned
But I've lived and I've learned from it
I've made some mistakes but that's what it takes
To make a man out of a kid
Yeah I've done some pretty stupid things but hey
I'm a little bit harder and
A whole lot smarter
That's how I got to be this way
Yeah I've done some pretty stupid things but hey
I'm a little bit harder and
A whole lot smarter
That's how I got to be this way
That's how I got to be this
How I got to be this
How I got to be this way
Hey
2.Small Town USA
A lot of people called it prison
when I was growin up
These are my roots and this is what I love
Cause everybody knows me and i know them
And I believe that's the way
we were supposed to live
Wouldn't trade one single day
in small town USA
Give me a Saturday night my baby by my side
A little Hank Jr. and a six pack of lights
Old dirt road and ill be just fine
Give me a Sunday morning that full of grace
A simple life and I'll be okay
Here in small town USA
Around here people break there backs
just to earn a buck
Don't ever get ahead but we have enough
I watch people leave and they come right back
I never wanted any part of that
I'm proud to say that I love this place
Good ole small town USA

3.Backwoods
Rifle in a gun rack hanging in the back glass
Buck knife on my belt,
ain't no land for sale 'round here
Red clay country mud, sippin' on a cold Bud
Blue tick coon hound you know

Backwoods down in the holler
Out in the backwoods,
workin' hard for a dollar in the
Backwoods yeah we get it done right
Work hard, play hard, hold my baby tight
Lordy have mercy it's a real good life
In the backwoods, yes sir
Preacher's daughter couldn't get hotter
Floating that river on an inner tube with her,
splash
35's and a lift kit how stuck can you get
Ain't that just my luck where's the chain
I'm stuck out in the
Backwoods down in the holler
Out in the backwoods,

4.Like There's No Tomorrow
I worked hard all week
But now your here with me
Staring up, at a summer sky
A blanket in the truck bed
Just give me the go ahead
'Cause baby we got plenty of time
Crickets are singing
Country moon is shinning
I can see the fire burning in your eyes
All I wanna do, is lay you down and love you
Like there's no tomorrow, tonight
Let me whisper in your ear
Make my intentions clear
We'll just be getting started come midnight
Get in a rhythm, nobody's near listening
Just you and me for miles and miles
Crickets are singing
Country moon is shinning
I can see the fire burning in your eyes
All I wanna do, is lay you down and love you
Like there's no tomorrow, tonight
Crickets are singing
Country moon is shinning
I can see the fire burning in your eyes
All I wanna do, is lay you down and love you
Like there's no tomorrow, tonight
Like there's no tomorrow, tonight...
Oh baby
5.Good Ole American Way
Wear my name on the back of my belt
Believe there's a God to save me from hell
And dirt roads were made for country boys like me
Don't belive in politically correct
You wanna a piece better have a set
A rifle and a four wheel drive is all I need
Small mouth bass on the end of a hook
Daddy read from the good book
I'm just a country boy from this land
Makin' a living with these two hands
Still believe in the good ole American way
I watch 'em shut the factories down
Then the foreigners flood into town
They take what's left for half the pay
We can't stand by and just let it fade away
The good ole American way
Got sense enough to know things change
But the little man's getting screwed today
Somebody with a backbone please stand up
Oh we worked so hard to get this far
Now we're forgetting everything...
and just call it love
Don't tell me there ain't somethin' wrong
Somebody's gotta sing this song
I'm just a country boy from this land
Makin' a living with these two hands
Still believe in the good ole American way
I watch 'em shut the factories down
Then the foreigners flood into town
They take what's left for half the pay
We can't stand by and just let it fade away
The good ole American way
We can't stand by and just let it fade away
The good ole American way
I wear my name on the back of my belt
Believe there's a God to save me from hell
And dirt roads were made for country boys like me
6.I Could Kick Your Ass
You got your million bucks
You got your flashy sports car
You got your trophy girls
Man you think you're a star
You got your teeth bleached
You like to play the rich game
Yeah you think you're a cowboy
The new jesse james
But I could kick your ass
I could jack your jaw
Put you flat in the dirt boy
Yeah I'd have a ball
So go ahead and act tough
Like your John Wayne's son
But things can change fast
I can kick your ass
Tried to steal my girl
Better bring your big friends
Another one or two
Cause your gonna need them
You're a little to small
To be calling me names
I'm bout to knock that smirky little grin
Right off of your face
I can kick your ass
I could jack your jaw
Put you flat in the dirt boy
Yeah I'd have a ball
So go ahead and act tough
Like your John Wayne's son
But things can change fast
I can kick your ass
Yeahh
I could kick your ass
I could jack your jaw
Put you flat in the dirt boy
Hell I'd have a ball
So go ahead and act tough
Like your John Wayne's son
But things can change fast
I could kick your ass

8.The Only Place That I Call Home
Well I was baptized at the Baptist church
And my old man taught me 'bout a hard day's work
I learned how to love, learned how to fight
It's where we keep our cash in a dresser drawer
Underneath the forty-four
And if we do you wrong we damn sure make it right
It's the only place that I call home
No matter where in this country I might roam
It's where the corn grows tall
and the moonshine still flows
It's the only place that I call home
Your word is good on a handshake
Preacher still talks about a judgment day
People gonna stop when a funeral passes by
We say 'yes sir' and say 'yes ma'am'
Answer the call from Uncle Sam
Hit a bully in the nose if he crosses the line
It's the only place that I call home
No matter where in this country I might roam
It's where the corn grows tall
and the moonshine still flows
It's the only place that I call home
My roots are buried deep here in this little town
And one of these days it's where
they'll put me in the ground
It's the only place that I call home
No matter where in this country I might roam
It's where the corn grows tall
and the moonshine still flows
It's the only place that I call home
It's the only place that I call home yeah
9.Grandpa
You stood on that bank when I got baptized
Gave me a thirty thirty when I turned nine
At sixteen you caught me drinking
out in the barn
I could hear you cheering when we won state
And you held my hand at Grandma's grave
And I'll always be thankful you never sold the farm
Grandpa you stood so tall
Chewed that Red Man, wore overalls
You were the same man
on Sunday morning as Saturday night
Five foot six to the top of your hat
But when you talked bout the war
thought you were Superman
American born simple man with a southern drawl
You walk the walk, you talk the talke, Grandpa
You still swear Roosevelt was the best
That a home grown tomato tastes better than the rest
And fifty years goes too fast with a woman you love
Well this life I've chose is gettin' busy now
...
And when I walk up on your front porch
It's just like I'm still young
Grandpa you stood so tall
Chewed that Red Man, wore overalls
You were the same man
on Sunday morning as Saturday night
Five foot six to the top of your hat
But when you talked bout the war
thought you were Superman
American born simple man with a southern drawl
You walk the walk, you talk the talke
Grandpa
Yeah American born a dirt road man
with that slow southern drawl
Now keep walkin' the walk
and talkin' the talk Grandpa
10.Hank It
A lot of things a country boy learns in life
How to shoot a gun and how to use a knife
But, when I pulled into Hershey, PA
I took my guitar up on the big stage.
That night I did the best I could
Me and the boys played pretty darn good
Then I took myself out, sat in the crowd;
And learned how Bocephus shakes 'em down
You gotta Hank it
You can't sip whiskey, gotta drink it
Push it up to ten and crank it
If you wanna keep your woman, gotta spank it
If you ain't got a bunch, you gotta bank it
Live it just like he sings it
You gotta Hank it
There was a smokin' little blonde sittin' next to me
Said how'd you make it here from Tennessee
She must've been late and didn't catch my show
But when you play at 7 that's the way it goes
So I tipped my hat and we sang along to
Where Have All My Rowdy Friends Gone
I climbed up on the bus after the show
Had a shot of Jim Beam and we hit the road.
You gotta Hank it
You can't sip whiskey, gotta drink it
Push it up to ten and crank it
You wanna keep your woman, gotta spank it
Ain't got a bunch, gotta bank it
Live it just like he sings it
You gotta Hank it
You gotta Hank it
You can't sip whiskey, gotta drink it
Push it up to ten and crank it
You wanna keep your woman, gotta spank it
Ain't got a bunch, gotta bank it
Live it just like he sings it
You gotta Hank it
You gotta Hank it
