1.The Truth About Men
Written:Rory Lee/Tim Johnson/Paul Overstreet
We don't like to go out shoppin', don't care what's on sale
Just wanna sit with a bag full of chips watchin' the NFL
When you come over at half time, you say does this dress fit too
tight
We just look you in the eye with a big fat lie and say
Uh-Hu, looks just right
Well that's the truth about men, that's the truth about us
We like to hunt and golf on our days off, scratch and spit and
cuss
And no matter what line we hand you when we come draggin' in
We ain't wrong, we ain't sorry, and it's probably gonna happen
again
We hate watchin' Steel Magnolias, we like Rambo and Die Hard IV
Jump up and down like fools when we see the new tools
At the Home Depot Store
We don't really wanna take you to dinner at some fancy
restaurant
The only reason we do is cause we know it leads to
The one thing that we all want
Well, that's the truth about men, that's the truth about guys
We'd rather pick guitars and work on cars
Than work on the problems in our lives
And though we might say it to you now and then
We ain't wrong, we ain't sorry, and it's probably gonna happen
again
Well, if you wanna know what we're all thinkin', it's nothing
too complex
It's just somethin' cold for drinkin' and a whole lotta S E Yes.
That's the truth about men, that's the truth about us
We like to hunt and golf and drive around lost
And scratch and spit and a whole lotta other disgusting stuff
And no matter what line we give you when we come crawlin' in
We ain't wrong, we ain't sorry and it's probably gonna happen
again
We ain't wrong, We ain't sorry, and it's probably gonna happen
Sure it's gonna happen, you know it's gonna happen again
And that's the truth about men
2.Just Let Me Be In Love
Written:Tony Martin/Mark Nesler/Tom Shapiro
My breath is short, my heart is beating fast
Every time I smile at her shes smiling back
If Im dreaming, please just let me sleep
Anyone can see that shes too good for me
Oh, give her time, shell find out soon enough
Just let me have and hold her til she does
What weve got going on is so incredible
This chemistry between us feels so wonderful
But knowing me, Ill probably
Find a way to mess it up
Who knows, who cares, right now
Just let me be in love
Dont concern me with reality
Dont convince me shes too heavenly
Forget the future, disregard the past
Those are questions I dont want to ask
To my heart, all that matters is tonight
Just let me live this moment in her eyes
What weve got going on is so incredible
This chemistry between us feels so wonderful
But knowing me, Ill probably
Find a way to mess it up
Who knows, who cares, right now
Just let me be in love
What weve got going on is so incredible
This chemistry between us feels so wonderful
But knowing me, Ill probably
Find a way to mess it up
Who knows, who cares, right now
Just let me be in love
Who knows, who cares, right now
Just let me be in love
Let me be in love
I just want to be in love
3.Drinkin' Bone
Written:Kerry Phillips/Casey Beathard
Well it's Friday evenin' six o'clock
And all my friends are twistin' off
I'm at the house just turnin' on T.V.
And they all wonder why I've changed
How many times must I explain
It's basic honky tonk anatomy
The drinkin' bone is connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected to the stayin' out all night long
And she won't think it's funny
And I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected to the drinkin' bone
Hey two plus two is always four
And down is south and up is north
Thirty-two degrees is freezing cold
You play with fire you end up burned
The early-bird gets the worm
But the only thing you really need to know
Is...
The drinkin' bone is connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected to the stayin' out all night long
And she won't think it's funny
And I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected to the drinkin' bone
Hey sing it with me
Let's make sure you know....
The drinkin' bone is connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected tot he stayin' out all ngiht long
And she won't think it's funny
And I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected the the....
The drinkin' bone is connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected to the stayin' out all night long
And she won't think it's funny
And I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected to the drinkin' bone
4.Watermelon Crawl
Lyrics:Buddy Brock/Zack Turner
Music:Buddy Brock/Zack Turner
I was driving thru georgia in late july
On a day hot enough to make the devil sigh
I saw a homemade sign written in red
Rind county watermelon festival ahead
Well, i wasn't in a hurry so I slowed down
Took a two lane road to a one horse town
There was a party going on when I got there
I heard a welcome speech from a small town mayor
He said we got a hundred gallons of sweet red wine
Made from the biggest watermelons on the vine
Help yourself to some but obey the law
If you drink don't drive do the watermelon crawl
When the band started playing the watermelon queen said
Let me show you something that you ain't never seen
She grabbed me by the arm said come on let's go
She dipped down spun around and doe-see-doed
She rocked back on her heels dropped down to her knees
Crawled across the floor then she jumped back on her feet
She wiggled and she giggled beat all you ever saw
Said this is how you do the watermelon crawl
She said we got a hundred gallons of sweet red wine
Made from the biggest watermelons on the vine
Help yourself to some but obey the law
If you drink don't drive do the watermelon crawl
Well if you're ever down in georgia round about july
If you ain't in a hurry then you oughta stop by
I can guarantee that you're gonna have a ball
Learning how to do the watermelon crawl
Well we got a hundred gallons of sweet red wine
Made from the biggest watermelons on the vine
Help yourself to some but obey the law
If you drink don't drive do the watermelon crawl
Do the watermelon crawl
Have fun you all
Do the watermelon crawl
5.The Keeper Of The Stars
Written:Dickey Lee/Danny Mayo/Karen Staley
It was no accident me finding you
Someone had a hand in it
Long before we ever knew
Now I just can't believe you're in my life
Heaven's smilin' down on me
As I look at you tonight
I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars
He sure knew what he was doin'
When he joined these two hearts
I hold everything
When I hold you in my arms
I've got all I'll ever need
Thanks to the keeper of the stars
Soft moonlight on your face oh how you shine
It takes my breath away
Just to look into your eyes
I know I don't deserve a treasure like you
There really are no words
To show my gratitude
So I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars
He sure knew what he was doin'
When he joined these two hearts
I hold everything
When I hold you in my arms
I've got all I'll ever need
Thanks to the keeper of the stars
It was no accident me finding you
Someone had a hand in it
Long before we ever knew
6.A Good Way to Get on My Bad Side
Written:George Teren/Rivers Rutherford
Verse 1:
Little Lady standin' next to me
Isn't she a pretty thing
I'm the one who put that ring on her left hand
Another fella can tip his hat
And I'm as gentle as a pussycat
But let it go much further than that and he's a dead man
Chorus:
That's a good way
That's a real good way
That's a real good way to get on my bad side
Verse 2:
Politician on my TV
Says he's only lookin' out for me
That he knows what the poor man needs in the long run
But every year he gives himself a raise
With a chunk of every buck I make
Now he's talkin' like he wants to take my shotgun
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3:
I ain't looking for no trouble, don't wanna start no fight
Don't want more than I got comin', I only wanna do what's right
Just treat me like I treat you and we'll get along just fine
But mister take one step across that line
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
I like Van Halen and I like George Jones
Charlie Daniels and the Rolling Stones
And Bocephus when he rocks and rolls still kills me
Ought to be a law against cowboy rap
And all that boy band crap
A little sissy in a cowboy hat ain't country..but
Repeat Chorus
7.Ten Rounds With Jose Cuervo
Written:Casey Beathard/Michael Heeney/Marla Cannon-Goodman
I walked in the band just stunk
The singer couldn't carry a tune in a bucket
Was on a mission to drown her memory but
I thought no way with all this raucous
(chorus)
But after one round with Jose Cuervo
I caught my boots tapping long with the beat
And after two rounds with Jose Cuervo
That band was sounding pretty darn good to me
Then some stranger asked me to dance
And I revealed to her my two left feet
Said don't get me wrong Im glad you asked
But tonight's about me and an old memory
(chorus)
Then after three rounds with Jose Cuervo
I let her lead me out on the floor
And after four rounds with Jose Cuervo
I was showing off moves never seen before
(bridge)
Well around five or round six
I forgot what I came to forget
And after round seven or was it eight
I bought a round for the whole damn place
(chorus)
And after nine rounds with Jose Cuervo
They were countin' me out I was about to give in
And after ten rounds with Jose Cuervo
I lost count and started counting again
(tag)
One round with Jose Cuervo
Two rounds with Jose Cuervo
Three rounds with Jose Cuervo . . .
8.Put Your Hand In Mine
Written:Skip Ewing/Jimmy Wayne Barber
He sat up on the bed and he watched me packing
He already knew why I was leavin'
I took what I needed but I sure left a lot still hanging
But I figured I'd get it come the weekend
He said Daddy when you get there
Are you gonna have a refridgerator
I kinda laughed and said I guess I will
Then he handed me a tracing of his hand
On the back of a piece of paper
And a magnet and my heart stood still (when he said)
Put your hand in mine
And I'll be there anytime
When it feels like you could use a friend
I'll be there to lift you up again
You can reach out to me anytime
And put your hand in mine
I drove past the Hardin Baptist Church
Though it wasn't really on the way to my hotel
Beside me on the seat I was looking at five small fingers
When I heard the chapel bell (and it took me)
Back another life ago when our hearts were open
Oh, back when we could still agree
Back when the future that we had was full of hope and
You and I we got down on our knees (and said)
Put your hand in mine
And I'll be there anytime
When it feels like you could use a friend
I'll be there to lift you up again
You can reach out to me anytime
And put your hand in mine
I couldn't even stay away one night
I noticed you left on the light
And I've only got one thing to say
If you're not too tired and it's not too late
Put your hand in mine
And I'll be here all the time
When it feels like you could use a friend
I'll be here to lift you up again
Would you reach out to me one more time
And put your hand in mine
Would you reach out to me just one more time
And put your hand in mine
9.I'm From The Country
Written:Marty Brown/Richard Young/Stan Webb
Way back up in the country, back in the hills
Down in the hollows where the folks are real
Livin' with the crazzies and the old wildcats
Sawed off shotguns and coonskin caps
That's where I'm from and I'm proud to say
I'm from the country and I like it that way
Everybody knows everybody, everybody calls you friend
You don't need an invitation, kick off your shoes come on in
Yeah, we know how to work and we know how to play
We're from the country and we like it that way
All day long we work in the fields
Then bring it on home to a home cooked meal
We love ya like Sunday, treat ya like Saturday night
And when the bed gets full we can sleep in the hay (hey)
We're from the country and we like it that way
Everybody knows everybody, everybody calls you friend
You don't need an invitation, kick off your shoes come on in
Yeah, we know how to work and we know how to play
We're from the country and we like it that way
Everybody knows everybody, everybody calls you friend
You don't need an invitation, kick off your shoes come on in
Yeah, we know how to work and we know how to play
We're from the country
We're from the country
We're from the country and we like it that way
10.Tiny Town
Lyrics:Keith Stegall
Music:Keith Stegall
I grew up in a tiny town
Sidewalks rolled up
When the sun went down
And we played in the street
Til my mom said come eat
In that tiny town
My dad ran station by the railroad track
Half his life he spent on his back
Underneath a car
Lord he worked so hard
In that tiny town
They say home is where your heart is
And I guess it's true
And they say you can't go back but I close my eyes
And I'm driving through
My mom sold Avon is the neighborhood
And I'd wait in the car hoping she'd done good
So I'd have a dime to spend on the ice cream man
In that tiny town
Got the car when I was just fifteen
Five dollars bought a lot of gasoline
For the drive in picture show
Where we used to go
In that tiny town
They say home is where your heart is
And I guess it's true
And they say you can't go back but I close my eyes
And I'm driving through
Now the years they fly by oh so fast
So much of life we lose to the past
But I'm proud to say that I was raised
In a tiny town
They say home is where your heart is
And I guess it's true
And they say you can't go back but I close my eyes
And I'm driving through
I grew up in a tiny town
Sidewalks rolled up
When the sun went down
And we played in the street
Til my mom said come eat
In that tiny town
