American Ride

Toby Keith American Ride Lyrics
1.American Ride

Winter gettin colder, summer gettin warmer
Tidal wave comin cross the Mexican border
Why buy a gallon, when its cheaper by the barrel
Just dont be busted singin Christmas carols

Thats us, Thats right
Gotta love this American ride
Both ends of the ozone burnin
Funny how the world keeps turnin
Look ma, no hands
I love this American ride
Gotta love this American ride

Momma gets her rocks off watchin Desperate Housewives
Daddy works his can off payin for the good life
Kids on the YouTube learnin how to be cool
Livin in a cruel world, pays to be a mean girl

Thats us, Thats right
Gotta love this American ride
Both ends of the ozone burnin
Funny how the world keeps turnin
Look ma, no hands
I love this American ride
Gotta love this American ride

Poor little miss Americas town
She gained five pounds and lost her crown
Quick fix plastic surgical antidote
Got herself a record deal, cant even sing a note

Plasma gettin bigger, Jesus gettin smaller
Spill a cup of coffee, make a million dollars
Cousins caught a buzz with an aerosol can
If the shoe dont fit, the fits gonna hit the shan

Thats us, Thats right
Gotta love this American ride
Both ends of the ozone burnin
Funny how the world keeps turnin
Hot dog, Hot damn
I love this American ride
Gotta love this American ride
Oh yeah,
Na na na na na na na na.


2.Gypsy Driftin'

I learned quick my eighteenth summer
Diggin' ditches for the man
You can't be a guitar strummer
Cussin' that shovel in your hand

Took my paycheck to a pawn shop
Bought a silvertone guitar
Wrote a song about a beer joint
Went and played it in a bar

It's hard as hell out on this highway
But I'm still addicted to the show
When that crazy crowd calls out it keeps me
A gypsy driftin' down the road

Buses, trucks and lit up stages
Angel faces with no names
Stadium of savin' graces
Stand and singing with a flame

It's hard as hell out on this highway
But I'm still addicted to the show
When that crazy crowd calls out it keeps me
A gypsy driftin' down the road

I go on when I'm too tired to sleep
And I go on, sing when I can't speak
I go on and on and on and on

It's hard as hell out on this highway
But I'm still addicted to the show
When that crazy crowd calls out it keeps me
A gypsy driftin' down the road

And when that crazy crowd calls out it keeps me
A gypsy driftin' down the road


3.Are You Feelin' Me

Sometimes I lie awake
Starring at the ceiling
I'll have someone beside me
But she won't know your name

She won't be here long
Hell she's almost a memory
You'll never be really gone
Girl, are you feelin' me?

Do you fall asleep missin' my kiss in the dark?
Wake up the next morning not sure where you are?
Is it killin' you, like it's killin' me?
Are you lying there, lying to somebody else?
Trying to find the one thing I can't find for myself?
When he's touching you, really touching you,
Are you feelin' me?

You ever wish on a star that ain't fallin',
Hoping you dreams will come true?
Pray for the day that you know it's comin,
Well I do, baby I do, baby I do
Baby I do

Do you fall asleep missin' my kiss in the dark?
Wake up the next morning not sure where you are?
Is it killin' you, like it's killin' me?
Are you lying there, lying to somebody else?
Trying to find the one thing I can't find for myself?
When he's touching you, really touching you,
Are you feelin' me?

Oh, when he's touching you, are you feelin' me?
Are you feelin' me?
Are you feelin' me?
Oh, are you feelin' me?
Girl, are you feelin' me?
Oh, when he's touching you


4.Every Dog Has Its Day

I was hangin' out a last night at the top cat
when the band slowed down to Merle
man i hit it 'cross the bar room trying to find my baby girl
some drunk tried to punk me,
and ask my baby 'do you dance'
she said 'yes i do, but not with you,
i'm waitin' on my man'

see every dog has it's day dog,
when the big dog throws him a bone
one moment in the sunshine
when your ducks lined up in a row
lucky dog get a big ol' bed,
stray dog gets the porch
every dog has it's day dog,
but today dog just aint yours

well i flipped her around and i kissed her
and she said lets do one more
and we were half way through a two step
when he stepped out on the floor
he jerked me back and said 'im cuttin' in,
girl lets docee do' she doubled up her fist
and caught him right square on the nose

every dog has it's day dog,
when the big dog throws him a bone
one moment in the sunshine
when the ducks line up in a row
lucky dog gets a big ol' bed,
stray dog gets the porch
every dog has it's day dog,
but today dog just aint yours

fat dog, skinny dog, little itty bitty dog,
hot dog, kurd dog, weenie dog, bird dog,
hound dog, cow dog, bow wow wow dog,
wonder dog, barkin' dog, chasing' parked car dog.

every dog has it's day dog,
when the big dog throws him a bone
one moment in the sunshine,
when your ducks line up in a row
yeah lucky dog gets gets a big ol' bed,
stray dog gets the porch
every dog has it's day dog,
but today dog just aint yours
every dog has it's day dog,
but today dog just aint yours

7.Cryin' For Me (Wayman's Song)

Got the news on friday mornin'
But a tear I couldn't find
You showed me how I'm supposed to live
And now you showed me how to die

I was lost till sunday morning
I work up to face my fear
While writing you this goodbye song
I found a tear

I'm gonna miss that smile
I'm gonna miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I'd do it all again

So play it sweet in heaven
'Cause Thats right where you want to be
I'm not cryin cause I feel so sorry for you
I'm cryin for me

I got up and dialed your number
And your voice came on the line
With that old familiar message
I'd heard a thousand times it just said
Sorry that I missed you
Leave a message and god bless
I know you think I'm crazy
But I had to hear your voice again

I'm gonna miss that smile
I'm gonna miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I'd do it all again
So play it sweet in heaven
'Cause Thats right where you want to be
I'm not cryin cause I feel so sorry for you
I'm cryin for me

So play your upside down left handed
Backwards bass guitar
And I'll see you on the other side
Superstar

I'm gonna miss that smile
I'm gonna miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I'd do it all again
So play it sweet in heaven
'Cause Thats right where you want to be
I'm not cryin cause I feel so sorry for you
I'm cryin for me

I'm still cryin'
I'm cryin for me
I'm still cryin'


8.If I Had One

Jack my brake at the traffic stop
Interstate lookin' like a parkin' lot
Fatboy flying on a fatboy bike
Weavin' in and out and passin' me by
I honked my horn and shot the bird at that crazy SOB
Even if deep down I was wishin' it was me

But if I had one I'd have to say
I'd probably do the same dang thing
Pull her to the shoulder and let that steel horse run
I'd be hell on wheels if I had one

Called my brother said how you been
We ain't been fishin' since I don't know when
He said this graveyard shift's a graveyard grind
I got more bills than I got time
I'd love to weigh the line but my wife'll just stay on my case
I said I guess I know who wears
The pants around your place

But if I had one I'd have to say
I'd probably do the same dang thing
Stay at home holdin' my baby when the workday's done
Yeah I'd try to keep her happy if I had one

Sittin' on a barstool talkin' to a lady
She's runnin' my tab up callin' me baby
Buy her a drink she'll let you chase her
Watch her shake her money maker

But if I had one I'd have to say
I'd probably shake it the same dang way
Hike it up high so I could get it some
I'd never buy another beer if I had one

You know things would be different if I had one

That's what I'd do, if I had one of those

I'd do it just like that, right... there

Thing's would be different if I had one too

But I don't

But if I had one

Yeah, buddy Ooooh, buddy


9.You Can't Read My Mind


10.Tender As I Wanna Be

I know sometimes you need me to be tender
I don't give you much to go on
So I'm amazed at how you hold on to me
Baby girl I've never been this close before
Never opened up that door
I'm still finding my way

Something else that lovers do
When I've been by myself
Never had to talk about
Movin' in with someone else

Then you kiss my face
And it makes me smile
Girl I want to lay with you,
Right here with you
For a little while

When I feel that rush
Coming down all over me
You're as fas as I can see
That's tender as I wanna be
Tender as I wanna be
Girl it's so tender

No maybe it's that hard
To find someone to please me
Or it could be that real true love
Sometimes don't come easy
No it don't come easy

Then you kiss my face
And it makes me smile
Girl I want to lay with you,
Right here with you
For a little while

When I feel that rush
Coming down all over me
You're as fas as I can see
That's tender as I wanna be
Tender as I wanna be
Girl it's so tender

12.Ballad Of Balad

Well I quit school in the tenth grade and I grew out my hair.
I got me a job doin' lawn mower repair.
I met an army Recruiter down at the Winn-Dixie.
He said son you've no future, pack up and go with me.

Well the first place we landed was a base called Balad.
They convoyed our asses to a 10 acre faub.
With my boots and my Cover and an old M-16,
two bottle of water and a cold MRE.

Oh, you meet lots of new friends and you're sure to get paid.
We'll show you the world and we'll teach you a trade.
It's not A job, it's an adventure. Oh yes sir I got that,
but you never told me I'd get my ass shot at.
but you never told me I'd get my ass shot at.

The first night in combat we went on patrol.
The ambushed our convoy and we chased the assholes.
We found them all hidin' in The water ditches.
Took aim and killed all them son of a bitches.

Oh, you meet lots of new friends and you're sure to get paid.
We'll show you the world and we'll teach you a trade.
It's not A job, it's an adventure. Oh yes sir I got that,
but you never told me I'd get my ass shot at.
but you never told me I'd get my ass shot at.

Walked in on my buddy with a female marine.
Ugliest woman that you've ever seen.
He said why are you laughin', you've got Lots of nerve.
Over here in the desert, we grade on the curve.

Oh, you meet lots of new friends and you're sure to get paid.
We'll show you the world and we'll teach you a trade.
It's not A job, it's an adventure. Oh yes sir I got that,
but you never told me I'd get my ass shot at.

'Oh you never told me we'd get his ass shot at.
