1.Back When
Don't you remember
The fizz in a pepper
Peanuts in a bottle
At ten, two and four
A fried bologna sandwich
With mayo and tomato
Sittin' round the table
Don't happen much anymore
We got too complicated
It's all way over-rated
I like the old and out-dated
Way of life
Back when a hoe was a hoe
Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing
When you were cracking jokes
Back when a screw was a screw
The wind was all that blew
And when you said I'm down with that
Well it meant you had the flu
I miss back when
I miss back when
I miss back when
I love my records
Black, shiny vinyl
Clicks and pops
And white noise
Man they sounded fine
I had my favorite stations
The ones that played them all
Country, soul and rock-and-roll
What happened to those times？
I'm readin' Street Slang For Dummies
Cause they put pop in my country
I want more for my money
The way it was back then
Back when a hoe was a hoe
Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing
When you were cracking jokes
Back when a screw was a screw
The wind was all that blew
And when you said I'm down with that
Well it meant you had the flu
I miss back when
I miss back when
I miss back when
Give me a flat top for strumming
I want the whole world to be humming
Just keep it coming
The way it was back then
Back when a hoe was a hoe
Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing
When you were cracking jokes
Back when a screw was a screw
The wind was all that blew
And when you said I'm down with that
Well it meant you had the flu
I miss back when
I miss back when
I miss back when
2.Last Dollar (Fly Away)
When I'm down to my last dollar
I walk right threw my shoes
Just a small reminder of the hell that I've gone through
But look at me still smiling
Cause I'm wondering what I'll do
Since I ain't got nothing
I got nothing to lose
Everybody say HaHaHa, HaHaHa
My Friends are always giving me
Watches, Hats, and wine
That's how I know this is serious
That's how I know its time
I don't have to worry about things that I don't have
Cause if I ain't got nothing
I got nothing to hold me back
1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you giving me the most beautiful set of wings
And I'm so glad you're here today
Cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away
Fly away, Fly away
There's nothing that's worth keeping me
From places I should go
From happyville to lovingland
I'm gonna tour from coast to coast
I'm leaving everything behind
There's not much that I need
Cause If I ain't got nothing
I could lose a fancy freed
1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you giving me the most beautiful set of wings
And I'm so glad you're here today
Cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away
Fly away, Fly away
Look at me so free
Nothings holding me down(down)
Look at me so free
Can't keep my feet on the ground
1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you giving me the most beautiful set of wings
And I'm so glad you're here today
Cause tomorrow I might have to go and
1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you giving me the most beautiful set of wings
And I'm so glad you're here today
Cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away
Fly away, Fly Away,
Fly away, Fly away
Fly away!!
3.If You're Reading This
You're reading this, my mama's sittin there
Look's like I only got a one way ticket over here
I sure wish I could give you one more kiss
War was just a game we played when we were kids
Well I'm layin down my gun and hanging up my boots
I'm up here with God and we're both watching over you
So lay me down
In that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul
Is where my mama always prayed that it would go
And if you're reading this
I'm already home
If you're reading this halfway around the world
I won't be there to see the birth of our little girl
I hope she looks like you
I hope she fights like me
And stands up for the innocent and the weak
I'm layin down my gun and hanging up my boots
Tell dad I don't regret that I followed in his shoes
So lay me down
In that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul
Is where my mama always prayed that it would go
And if you're reading this
I'm already home
If you're reading this, there's gonna come a day
When you'll move on and find someone else, and that's ok
Just remember this, I'm in a better place
Where soldiers live in peace and angels sing Amazing Grace
So lay me down
In that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul
Is where my mama always prayed that it would go
And if you're reading this
If you're reading this...
I'm already home
4.Do You Want Fried With That
I thought that was your voice
I thought that was my car
Now we ain't ever met before
But I know who you are
You're living in my house
And I'm living in a tent
And don't laugh, this second job of mine
Is paying both our rents
You're out here buying Happy Meals
And I'm eating rice and pintos
You so much as crack a smile at me, man
I'll come through this here window
Well you took my wife
And you took my kids
And you took that life
That I used to live
My pride, the pool, the boat, my tools,
my dreams, the dog, the cat
Yeah I think that's just about everything
Oh I almost forgot
Do you want fries with that？
Your ketchup's in the bag
And a check is in the mail
I hope your chicken's raw inside
And I hope your bun is stale
I'm supposed to tell you
'Please come back'
But how bout this instead？
I hope you both choke on a pickle
Man, that would tickle me to death
I don't know what you're waiting on
You're holding up the line
Oh man, you ain't got no change coming back
Are you out of your mind？
Well you took my wife
And you took my kids
And you took that life
That I used to live
My pride, the pool, the boat, my tools,
my dreams, the dog, the cat
Yeah I think that's all there is
Do you want fries with that？
Well you took my wife
And you took my kids
And you took that life
That I used to live
My pride, the pool, the boat, my tools,
my dreams, the dog, the cat
Yeah I think that about covers it
Do you want fries with that？
5.Unbroken
How I ever lived and breathed before you loved me, I don't
recall
If I walked around at all, it was in bits and pieces of a jagged
heart
You kissed me and every piece went back in place, every pain got
erased
You held me up to the light
No one ever left me out in the rain
Cold words still remain unspoken
And I never got lost, spent years in the dark
You're here, now my heart's unbroken
When I see your smile fill my soul again
I'm unbroken
If I doubted the power of love, baby now I understand
I thank God for every day I wake up to the soft touch of your
magic hands
In this world sometimes the only thing that's real is the way
you make me feel
Babe, the changes day and night
I swear it's life
No one ever left me out in the rain
Cold words still remain unspoken
And I never got lost, spent years in the dark
You're here, now my heart's unbroken
When I see your smile fill my soul again
I'm unbroken
I still see the night, I fell into your eyes
And when we made love it felt like the first time
No one ever left me out in the rain
Cold words still remain unspoken
And I never got lost, spent years in the dark
You're here, now my heart's unbroken
When I see your smile fill my soul again
I'm unbroken
No one ever left me out in the rain
Cold words still remain unspoken
And I never got lost, spent years in the dark
You're here, now my heart's unbroken
No one ever left me out in the rain
Cold words still remain unspoken
And I never got lost, spent years in the dark
You're here, now my heart's unbroken
When I see your smile fill my soul again
6.Can't Be Really Gone
Her hat is hanging by the door
The one she bought in Mexico
It blocked the wind
It stopped the rain
She'd never leave that one
So, she can't be really gone
The shoes she bought on Christmas Eve
She laughed and said they called her name
It's like they're waiting in the hall
For her to slip them on
So, she can't be really gone
I don't know when she'll come back
She must intend to come back
I've seen the error of my ways
Don't waste the tears on me
What more proof do you need
Just look around the room
So much of her remains
Her book is lying on the bed
The two of hearts to mark her page
Now who could ever walk away at chapter 21
So, she can't be really gone
Just look around this room
So much of her remains
Her book is lying on the bed
The two of hearts to mark her page
Now who could ever walk away
With so much left undone
So, she can't be really gone
No, she can't be really gone
7.Angry All The Time
Here we are
What is left of a husband and a wife
With four good kids
who have a way of gettin on with their lifes.
Well, I'm not old,
but I'm gettin a whole lot older everyday.
It's to late to keep from going crazy,
I got to get away.
The reasons that can't stay,
dont have have a thing to do with being in love.
And I understand that lovin a man
should have to be this rough.
You ain't the only one
who feels like this worlds left you far behind.
i dont know why you gotta be angry all the time.
Our boys are strong,
the spittin image of you when you were young.
I hope someday the can see past
what you have become.
I remember everytime I said i'd never leave.
What I can't live with is memories
of the way you used to be.
The reason that I can't stay
don't have a thing to do with being in love.
And I understand that loving a man
should'nt have to be this rough.
You ain't the only one
who feels like this worlds left you far behind.
i don't know why you gotta be angry all the time.
Twenty years have came and went
since i walked out of your door.
I never quite made it back to the one i was before.
And god it hurts me, to think of you
For the light in your eyes was gone.
Sometimes, I dont know why this old world
can't leave well enough alone.
The reason that I can't stay
don't have a thing to do with being in love.
And I understand that loving a man
should'nt have to be this rough.
You ain't the only one
who feels like this worlds left you far behind.
i don't know why you gotta be angry all the time.
8.Suspicions
I'm so glad that I met youl baby
I'm so proud when we walk in the room
I know its crazy to worry like I do
I get this feeling that i'm losing you
I get these suspicions
Even though I know that you love me baby
and I really should'nt feel this way
Ooooh Suspicions
I can't help it your just so good lookin'
I'm afraid somebodys gonna steal
You away from me
When I go out to a party with you
You always turn every head in the room
And I just know what's on every man's mind
I try to fight it, but it gets me sometimes
I get these suspicions
Even though I know that you love me baby
and I really should'nt feel this way
Ooooh Suspicions
I can't help it your just so good lookin'
I'm afraid somebodys gonna steal
You away from me
When I'm with you, I feel so satisfied
The way you touch me when you lay by my side
And that look you get in your eyes when we love
Makes me hate myself for what I'm thinkin' of
I get these suspicions
Even though I know that you love me baby
and I really should'nt feel this way
Ooooh Suspicions
I can't help it your just so good lookin'
I'm afraid somebodys gonna steal
You away from me
Suspicions
Even though I know that you love me, baby
And I really shouldn't feel this way
Suspicions
I can't help it you're just so good lookin'
I'm afraid somebody's gonna steal you away from me
9.Find Out Who Your Friends Are (featuring Tracy Lawrence)
10.Let It Go
I been caught sideways out here on the crossroads
Tryin' to buy back the pieces I lost of my soul
It's hard when the devil won't get off your back
It's like carryin' around the past in a hundred pound sack
Today, I'm gonna keep on walkin'
I'm gonna hold my head up high
Gonna leave it all behind
Today, I'm gonna stand out in the rain
Let it wash it all away, yeah wash it all away
I'm gonna let it go, Oh oh, Oh yeah
I'm gonna let it go, oh oh, Oh yeah
Skeletons and ghosts are hidin' in the shadows
Threatening me with all the things that they know
Choices and mistakes they all know my name
I'm through holdin' in and holdin' on to all that pain
Today, I'm gonna keep on walkin'
I'm gonna hold my head up high
Got no more tears to cry
Today, I'm gonna stand out in the rain
Let it wash it all away, yeah wash it all away
I'm gonna let it go, Oh oh, Oh yeah!
I'm gonna let it go, Oh oh, Oh yeah!
I know, I know, I know, I know I been forgiven
I know, I know, I know, I'm gonna start livin'
Today, I'm gonna keep on walkin'
I'm gonna hold my head up high
I'm Gonna leave it all behind
Today, I'm gonna stand out in the rain
Let it wash it all away, yeah wash it all away
I'm gonna let it go, Oh oh, Oh yeah!
I'm gonna let it go, Oh oh, Oh yeah!
I'm gonna let it go, Oh oh, Oh yeah!
Oh oh, Oh yeah!
11.Real Good Man (Live Version)
Girl you've never known no one like me
Up there in your high society
They might tell you I'm no good
Girl they need to understand
Just who I am
I may be a real bad boy
But baby I'm a real good man
I may drink too much and play too loud
Hang out with a rough and rowdy crowd
That don't mean I don't respect
my mama or my Uncle Sam
Yes sir, yes ma'am
I may be a real bad boy
But baby I'm a real good man
I might have a wreckless streak,
at least a country mile wild
If you're gonna run with me
it's gonna be a wild ride
When it comes to loving you,
I've got velvet hands
I'll show you how a real bad boy
can be a real good man
I take all the good times I can get
I'm too young for growing up just yet
Ain't much I can promise you
'cept to do the best I can
I'll be damned
I may be a real bad boy
But baby I'm a real good man
I may be a real bad boy
Oh but baby I'm a real good man
