Proud To Be Here

Trace Adkins Proud To Be Here Lyrics
1.Proud To Be Here

If I were down to my last dollar -
Sittin' on an empty tank
I'd be a dollar richer than I was back-in-the-day
When I was playin' for tips and compliments
And half my rent was always spent on beer

Had a thousand dollar stereo
In a two hundred dollar truck
A screwdriver and some cussin'
Always made her start right up
But I tore it up one rainy night
Goin'round a curve when I hit second gear
And I'm just proud to be here

Yeah I'm just proud to be on the right side of the dirt
I've been loved and I've been lost and I've been hurt
I leave the hard stuff up to God
Try not to worry 'bout a whole jot
And I have no regrets for what it's worth
I've been livin' on borrowed time for years
And I'm just proud to be here

I'd like to thank my guardian angels
God must have sent His best
Heaven knows they worked their wings off
Keepin' whiskey off my breath
When I think of all I would have missed
My wife and kids and all that I hold dear
Yeah I'm just proud to be on the right side of the dirt
I've been loved and I've been lost and I've been hurt
I leave the hard stuff up to God
Try not to worry 'bout a whole jot
And I have no regrets for what it's worth
I've been livin' on borrowed time for years
And I'm just proud to be here

Yeah I'm just proud to be on the right side of the dirt
I've been loved and I've been lost and I've been hurt
I leave the hard stuff up to God
Try not to worry 'bout a whole jot
And I have no regrets for what it's worth
I've been livin' on borrowed time for years
And I'm just proud to be here
Yeah And I'm just proud to be here
Yeah And I'm just proud to be here


2.Million Dollar View

I don't need to be sittin' on the roof
Of a high-rise lookin' at the city below
I don't need to be on the beach
Watchin' that sun sink in the Gulf of Mexico
If I climb to the top of a Colorado mountain
I could see forever from there
But I don't have to go anywhere
I've got a million dollar view
Right here in my livin' room
In this little tin roof house
Even with the shades pulled down
And the lights turned out
I don't need to go to some exotic place
To see the kinda thing that takes my breath away
No all I gotta do is look at you
And I've got a million dollar view
When I see you layin' there in that sexy nightgown
It burns me down deep in my soul
You're a livin' work of art
A sight that would inspire the likes of Michelangelo
If I took a telescope and pointed it to heaven
I wouldn't find nothin' up there
That compares to what I got right here
I've got a million dollar view
Right here in my livin' room
In this little tin roof house
Even with the shades pulled down
And the lights turned out
I don't need to go to some exotic place
To see the kinda thing that takes my breath away
No all I gotta do is look at you

And I've got a million dollar view

I don't need to go to some exotic place
To see the kind of thing that takes my breath away
No all I gotta do is look at you
You know the truth is, I don't know if a million would get it

You're my million dollar view
Yeah just lookin'at you
You're my million dollar view


3.Days Like This

I can smell that fresh coffee beginnin' to brew
From the swing on this deck with a heck of a view
Of the sun burnin' steam off the lake and the dew off the ground

The weatherman's callm' for clear as can be
And I believe that he's right
'Cause my stubborn left knee is feelin1 awful dang good
And that's just what I'm needin' right now

So don't bring me the paper, don't turn on the news
If it'll fire me up, keep it away from my fuse
If the world's goin' to hell, let it go, I'll just blow it a
kiss
Don't wanna think about things like that
On days like this

Some days are just made for a big change of plans
So bring me your body and baby let's dance
You're all that I want on my mind and my hands right now
Right now baby

So don't bring me the paper, don't turn on the news
If it'll fire me up, keep it away from my fuse
If the world's gone to hell, let it go, I'll blow it a kiss
Don't wanna think about things like that
On days like this

No don't bring me the paper, don't turn on the news
If it'll fire me up, keep it away from my fuse
If the world's gone to hell, let it go, I'll blow it a kiss
Don't wanna think about things like that
On days like this

Days like this

Not today baby


4.That's What You Get

On the way tome I thought better stop before it closes
And get some, pretty things for a pretty tiling

Here I come through the door, bringm' you more roses
Whatever else you want from me

Right now baby I'm just here for you
I do anything you ask me to
That's what you get for lovin' me
Two strong arms and a heart that won't stop for anything
The kind of man a woman needs
That's what you get
That's what you get for lovin' me

Yeah for lovin1 me

I know you've heard it all before, you don't like big talkers
Well look who you're talking to

Honey I ain't leavin'nothm' out
Even things you've never thought about
That's what you get for lovin' me
Two strong arms and a heart that won't stop for anything
The kind of man a woman needs

You want a man to hold ya
Who's never gonna quit
Girl I already told ya

That's what you get for lovin' me


5.Just Fishin'

I'm lost in her there holdin' that pink rod and reel
She's doin' almost everything but sittin' still
Talkin' about her ballet shoes and training wheels
And her kittens
And she thinks we're just fishin'

I say, Daddy loves you, baby one more time
She says, I know. I think I got a bite.
And all this laughin', cryin, smilin' dyin' here inside's
What I call, livin'

And she thinks we're just fishin' on the riverside
Throwin' back what we could fry
Drownin' worms and killin' time
Nothin' too ambitious
She ain't even thinkin' bout
What's really goin' on right now
But I guarantee this memory's a big'in
And she thinks we're just fishin'

She's already pretty, like her mama is
Gonna drive the boys all crazy
Give her daddy fits
And I better do this every chance I get
Cause time is tickin'
(Yeah it is)

And she thinks we're just fishin' on the riverside
Throwin' back what we could fry
Drownin' worms and killin' time
Nothin' too ambitious
She ain't even thinkin' bout
What's really goin' on right now
But I guarantee this memory's a big'in
And she thinks we're just fishin'

She ain't even thinkin' bout
What's really goin' on right now
But I guarantee this memory's a big'in
And she thinks we're just fishin'
Yeah,
Oh she thinks we're just fishin'

We ain't only fishin'

(This ain't about fishin')


6.If I Was A Woman (With Blake Shelton)

Blake, if I was a woman
Trace, if I was a woman
If I was a woman I'd love a man like me

I got a strip in Oklahoma stretch as far as the eyes can see
Well I got my own little mountain back home in Tennessee
(Oh hell, listen to this)
I got a jet airplane and I can fly you high and far
(Yeah well, check this baby)
I got my own helicopter, I'll pick you up in your front yard

If I was a woman
Hey, if I was a woman
If I was a woman I'd love a man like me

I'd want a man who had a sensitive side
Well I'd want a man who ain't afraid to cry
Well I'd love me a man who could love me all night long
Well I'd love me a man who had the guts to sing this song

If I was a woman
No if I was a woman
If I was a woman I'd love a man like me

Yeah, if I-
Oh, we ain't supposed to sing yet
You're too stupid to be a woman
Hey, kiss my-

Yeah, if I was a woman
I'd be struckin' on some beach somewhere
(Ah that's a good one right there)
In my , everybody stop and stare

Hey if I was a woman
No if I was a woman
If I was a woman I'd love a man like me

Trace, if I was a woman
If I was a woman I'd love a man like me
No,I'd love a man like me

Uh, you sounded like a woman on that high note


7.Love Buzz

Everyone's askin' me
Boy what's got into you
think I been nippin' on the sauce
I walk around smilm1 like I feel no pain at all
I guess I don't but that's because

I got a little love buzz
I'm flyin' like a kite does
Higher than the sky, got me feelin' right
Better than the booze does
I'm sober as an old judge
I'll tell ya right now cuz
My baby she's a good drug
I got a little love buzz

Seems all I want to do
Is get to where she is
And belly up to her again yeah
And n take all she's got
Cause she's the top shelf kind
She keeps me strung out on a binge

I got a little love buzz
I'm flyin' like a kite does
Higher than the sky, got me feelin' right
Better than the booze does
I'm sober as an old judge
I'll tell ya right now cuz
My baby she's a good drug
I got a little love buzz

Yes sir ocifer
I can walk your line
And l can say your ABC's
No I ain't had a drop
And I don't smoke that stuff
If you gotta know then I'll come clean
Here's the truth
I got a little love buzz
I'm flyin' like a kite does
Higher than the sky, got me feelin' right
Better than the booze does
I'm sober as an old judge

8.It's Who You Know

The quarterback down at the school makes all the rules
'Cause he's super cool
And everybody wants to be just like him
There's a little girl in his homeroom class
Sits in the back 'cause she thinks she's tat
Lookiin' for a corner she can hide in
In life there ain't too many level playin' fields
And it don't seem fair but here's the deal
Brother here's the deal

You can walk on water, you can walk on the moon
You can walk through Memphis wearin' blue suede shoes
When the walkin' is over, at the end of the road
It ain't what you done son, it's who you know
Yeah it's who you know

Meet the man who owns it all
That's him there on the lobby wall
Don't he look like he's been carved from granite
His hands are soft, his heart is hard
And he only smokes the best cigars
And you call him sir.'cause he's earned it, damn it
There's a little old lady cleanin' up after him at night
And she prays someday that he'll see the light
Man I think she's got it right

You can walk on water, you can walk on the moon
You can walk through Memphis wearin' blue suede shoes
When the walkin' is over, at the end of the road
It ain't what you done son, it's who you know
Yeah it's who you know

At the end of the road
It's who you know

You can walk on water, you can walk on the moon
You can walk through Memphis wearin' blue suede shoes
When the walkin' is over, at the end of the road
It ain't what you done son, it's who you know
Yeah It ain't who you are son, it's who you know.


9.Poor Folks

We've got a Styrofoam cooler in the back of my old Ford truck
and we're reaching over the side for brew cause the tailgates
stuck
a couple of lines in the water, Hey, I think you've got a bite
I wonder what the Poor Folks are doing tonight?

We could have drove this old truck on into town and caught the 9
o'clock show
but I'd just as soon be sitting here with you listening to the
radio
I've got your name on my left arm, and your body in my right
I wonder what the Poor Folks are doing tonight?

The ones out there who ain't got nothin... on us
They got everything else in this world, but it ain't enough
Wishing they were the owners of a love like yours and mine
I wonder what the Poor Folks are doing tonight?

The truth is, you and me, we can't buy a whole lotta fancy nice
things
and we ain't on no first name basis with the folks down at the
bank
but we know we've got it all when we turn out the lights
We wonder what the Poor Folks are doing tonight?

The ones out there who ain't got nothin... on us
They got everything else in this world, but it ain't enough
Wishing they were the owners of a love like yours and mine
I wonder what the Poor Folks are doing tonight?
I wonder what the Poor Folks are doing tonight?


10.Always Gonna Be This Way

Summer turns this town to dust
When it don't rain, the farmers cuss
But they break the ground and they make the hay
And it's always gonna be that way

The oilfield hands belly up to the bar
With new tattoos and football scars
They go on and on about Itie good old days
And it's always gonna be that way

And the young kids still park up on the hill
'Bout two feel under the stars
And the old men still take off their hats
And they hold 'em over their hearts
I still get chills down in my bones
Every time I see your face
And ft's always gonna be that way

That little white church is gonna have a crowd
Every time a Sunday rolls around
Yeah we read the book and we all pray
And it's always gonna be that way

And the young kids still spark up on the hill
'Bout two feet under the stars
And the old men still take off their hats
And they hold 'em over their hearts
I still get chills down in my bones
Every lime I hear your name
And it's always gonna be that way

Some people leave and don't come back
Chase their dreams down a one-way track
Baby I'm all yours, I'm here to stay
And it's always gonna be that way
Yeah it's always gonna be that way
