1.Footsteps Of Our Fathers
Now we are walking in the footsteps of our fathers
Standing in the shadows of our mothers
Trying to learn from those who came before us
I see the road maps in the lines upon their face
And as I look out on this crazy congregation
The truth is inside we're all the same
So come on all my sisters and my brothers
Let's go walking, walking in the footsteps of our fathers
I'm the first to say I don't know what I'm doing
I ain't gonna preach what I don't know
'Cause I ain't no deep theologer, no Ph.D psychologer
I'm making all this shit up as I go
But I know for sure we're all in this together
And in a thousand years we still won't get it right
So let's rip a page out of old Hank Williams hymnal
Let's have little church right here tonight
As we go walking in the footsteps of our fathers
Standing in the shadows of our mothers
Trying to learn from those who came before us
I see the road maps in the lines upon their face
And as I look out on this crazy congregation
The truth is inside we're all the same
Come on all my sisters and my brothers
Let's go walking, walking in the footsteps of our fathers
As I look down at the brother of my daughter
As I kneel and kiss the sister of my son
I only hope I leave the righteous path to follow
As they go walking
We are walking in the footsteps of our fathers
We are walking in the footsteps of our fathers
Standing in the shadows of our mothers
Trying to learn from those who came before us
I see the road maps in the lines upon their face
As I look out on this crazy congregation
The truth is inside we're all the same
So come on all my sisters and my brothers
Let's go walking, walking in the footsteps of our fathers
We are walking, walking in the footsteps
2.What I'm For
I'm for wildflowers in the window
Mechanics you can trust
I'm for crackers in my chili
And leavin' grudges in the dust
I'm for drive through order takers
Who can muster up a smile
I'm for takin' in that stray dog
And for hangin' 'round for awhile
I'm for turning off the TV
Gettin' off the internet
I'm for learning all the words
To the Gettysburg Address
I'm for dusty pawn shop guitars
And boxers passed their prime
I'm for soakin' up the wisdom
When my old man speaks his mind
I'm for laid off factory workers
When the wolf is at the door
You don't have to guess what I'm against
If you know what I'm for
I'm for Texas Margaritas
Gettin' outta debt
I'm for havin' faith in something
That hasn't happened yet
For the shy kid in the corner
Afraid to ask the girl to dance
For the ex-con outta prison
Who just wants a second chance
For the inner city teacher
With her heart stuck in her throat
Who can still see God in every child
And never gives up hope
I'm for dusty pawn shop guitars
And boxers passed their prime
I'm for soakin' up the wisdom
When my old man speaks his mind
I'm for Detroit factory workers
When the wolf is at the door
You don't have to guess what I'm against
If you know what I'm for
I'm for counting all my blessings
When the wolf is at my door
You don't have to guess what I'm against
You don't have to guess what I'm against
You know what I'm for
3.Feeling Pretty Good Tonight
I woke up this morning with the afternoon at my window
I must have tied one on pretty tight last night
I don't even know if I picked up the phone to call you
If I did babe I apologize
I can't believe I even made it out here
Praise the Lord baby, I'm glad I did
Most times I'm just kinda laid back looking for nothing
Never thought someone who looked like you come looking for me
I live my life one drink at a time, happily out of my mind
I never thought I'd find somebody like you to give my whole life
to
Hope I don't let my hopes get up too high
I don't know tomorrow you might change you're mind
But I'm feeling pretty good tonight
Tell you something baby, you're as pretty as a Sunday morning
But every Sunday morning's gotta have a little Saturday night
Maybe I could help you make it through 2000 Tuesdays
Maybe you just get wasted away sometime
I live my life one drink at a time, happily out of my mind
I never thought I'd find somebody like you to give my whole life
to
Hope I don't let my hopes get up too high
But I don't know tomorrow you might change you're mind
But I'm feeling pretty good tonight
I live my life one drink at a time, happily out of my mind
I never thought I'd find somebody like you to give my whole life
to
Babe I might have finally got things right
But I hope tomorrow you don't change you're mind
'Cause I'm feeling pretty good tonight, feeling pretty good
tonight
4.Lucky
I hope you get to be on a TV game show
And win a million dollars 'cause that's lucky
And I hope a bartender appears with a shot and a beer
Every time you holler 'cause that's lucky
And I hope you get to live in a big old crib
And a fancy neighborhood 'cause that's lucky
And you never have to fight for an invite
To the coolest parties out in Hollywood, oh that's lucky
But if you were just a regular guy
Living beneath this red, white and big blue sky
With your job, your car, your family, your friends
The love of a girl that you know will never end
Then you've already got it made every single day
Yeah, you know what it's like to be lucky
Well, I hope you get the chance for a paparazzi romance
With a supermodel 'cause, yeah man that's lucky
And I hope you're getting chased first place full throttle
In a NASCAR race, oh that's lucky
But if you were just a regular guy
Living beneath this red, white and big blue sky
With your job, your car, your family, your friends
The love of a girl that you know will never end
Then you've already got it made every single day
Yeah, you know what it's like to be lucky, yeah
Well, don't you feel lucky？
But if you're just a regular guy
Living beneath this red, white and big blue sky
With your hopes, your dreams, your faith and your prayers
Every breath you take, every moment you share
Then you've already got it made every single day
Yeah, you know what it's like
Yeah, brother you know what it's like to be lucky, yeah
To be lucky yeah, to be lucky yeah
Come on, don't you feel it？
Yeah, you're lucky
5.In This World
My little brother gotta engine on him, gotta engine on him
And he can't slow down
My little brother gotta engine on him, gotta engine on him
And he can't slow down
But he dreams and he hopes on
Better than anyone I've ever known in this world, in this world
My little brother gotta engine on him, gotta engine on him
And he can't slow down
My little sister's pretty as a princess and hotter than a pistol
When the sun goes down
My little sister's pretty as a princess and hotter than a pistol
When the sun goes down
And all the dreams may grow long
Try to find a place to call it home in this world, in this world
My little sister's pretty as a princess and hotter than a pistol
When the sun goes down
We must have fallen pretty hard when we fell in love with money
Because looking at her now the sunny days don't seem so sunny
But the clouds are filled with music so let it fall on us like
rain
I can feel it in the air, see it dancing on my window pane
I guess the gods that hold the key
Just don't want us to believe in this world
I believe in this world, I believe
My little guitar got a few songs in her, gotta few songs in her
That ain't been found
My little guitar got a few songs in her, gotta few songs in her
That ain't been found
6.Country Star
Well, I sure am tired of these coffee house gigs
'Cause there ain't no money and there ain't no chicks
It's gettin' harder and harder to get my kicks
So I bought a little ticket to Nashville
'Cause I wanna see my name up in neon lights
Drink pink champagne and party every night
All them lucky mothers up there livin' the life
Man, I gotta get my ass to Nashville
'Cause I wanna be a country star
And take it all way to far
Drinkin' free in every bar
Just like Bocephus
I think it'd be a cryin' shame
Not to have my own airplane
I wanna go up in flames, me and my guitar
Man, I wanna be a country star
Well, I got a drinkin' problem so I'll fit right in
Gonna sing me some hits and get some famous friends
I'll be ridin' shotgun with Kenny, Faith and Tim
And I wonder how they lived without me
I'll get big and rich, rich and build a big ol' house
With a big ol' fence to keep the rift raft out
Call my old girlfriends, say how ya like me now？
Come on baby, tell me what ya love about me？
I'm gonna be a country star
And take it all way to far
Breakin' all the young girls hearts
Just like Keith Urban
Man, I'm thinkin' that sure sounds fun
Rockin' out with Brooks and Dunn
All the way to number one, me and my guitar
Man, I wanna be a country star
Playin' golf with Vince and Willie
Hangin' out with Carrie
Underneath those big spotlights
I'm wanna be a country star
Take it all way to far
Breakin' all the young girls hearts
Just like Keith Urban
Man, I think it sure sounds fun
Rockin' out with Brooks and Dunn
All the way to number one, me and my guitar
Man, I wanna be a country star, country star
7.Let Me
Keep your head there on my shoulder
Let's just lay here for a while,
we can hurry when we're older
And girl don't worry about tomorrow
that just seems so far away
Luckily me and you,
all that we have to do is follow, just follow
Let me be the one who sets your feet up on a road
Where you've never been, oh and baby then
You can let me take these arms
And wrap you up inside a night that will never end
I wanna be that man if you let me, come on baby let me
Baby, leave those candles burning,
slide on over here to me
If you run with me girl you know
we'll make this world stop turning
Just stop turning
Let me be the one who sets your feet up on a road
Where you've never been, oh and baby then
You can let me take these arms
And wrap you up inside a night that will never end
Well, I can be that man if you let me, oh
Let me be the one who sets your feet up on a road
where you've never been
Yeah, Let me take these arms
And wrap you up inside a night that will never end
I wanna be that man if you let me, come on baby let me
Sweet baby let me
8.In It For The Money
9.Carry On
Baby's just a little bit tired of the city,
Billboards and bullshit got her down,
Seem like you need a little hill country,
A little back roads driving, little bit of the old top down
Ol' Walt Wilkins lives up in Nashville,
You know his eyes have seen the miles,
Walt why don't you jump in Jim T's caddy,
Come down to my place and drink with me awhile,
Yeah, everybody gotta get away sometime,
Forget about yourself for awhile,
Have some tacos and beer yeah and let ourselves go
I'm ok, it's alright
Just might try to get a ride tonight
I'm okay, I'm alright, carry on
Life will make sure that you got your troubles,
Life will make sure that you work too hard,
Ain't nobody that don't get tired,
Watching troubles pile up big in your own backyard,
Yeah, everybody gotta get away sometime,
Forget about yourself for awhile,
Will go down to El Arroyo
Have some tacos and beer yeah and let ourselves go
Ok, it's alright
Just might try to get a ride tonight
I'm okay, I'm alright, carry on
Sometimes you've got to grab your world with your own two hands,
Set it spinning off on a course all your own,
Take yourself a big bag for your shoulder,
Find yourself some good times, bring them on back home,
Yeah, everybody gotta get away sometime,
Forget about yourself for awhile,
Lay your whole life upon a shelf,
Got no one to blame but your own damn self,
It's ok, it's alright, heaven only know what gonna happen
tonight,
I'm ok, I'm alright,
I'm ok, I'm alright,
I'm ok, I'm alright,
Oh carry on, yeah
10.In The Middle Of The Night
It was the coldest night in Boston in the history of winter
Black outside like a murder of crows
I was 6 days clean and sober with a bottle on the table
I hurt inside but nobody knows
One shot away from shooting my soul straight through the ceiling
And fly away from feeling how this pain, it still ain't gone
But flying's kinda risky when your wing's made of whiskey
And I know that I'll come crashing down just after the dawn
When there's no one around and the silence in your soul is the
only sound
In the darkness that surrounds you are you hiding from the
light？
When you finally hit the bottom will you do what's wrong or
right？
You gonna find out what you're made of in the middle of the
night
Closing eye can keep a secret and hold it deep inside
Every sin that keeps you sinner and every lie you ever lied
But when my heart has been through breaking
From all the hell I put her through
And all the love that I've forsaken on the run from what is true
Oh, now what you gonna do
When there's no one around and the silence in your soul is the
only sound？
In the darkness that surrounds you are you hiding from the
light？
When you finally hit the bottom will you do what's wrong or
right？
You gonna find out what you're made of in the middle of the
night
Middle of the night
It was the coldest night in Boston in the history of winter
Black outside like a murder of crows
Way down in the middle, middle of the night you'll find us
Middle of the night, middle
Way down in the middle, way down, way down, way down
