    We are young country

    But we know how to have fun
    Come Saturday night

    We know what's right
    We know what's wrong
    We know what we like to hear in a song
    We like some of the old stuff
    We like some of the new
    But we'll do our own chosen
    We pick our own music
    If you don't mind, thank you

    We are young country
    We like all kinds
    Of music and people
    Cause we don't draw no lines

    No, our hair is not orange
    We don't wear chains and spikes
    But we know how to have fun
    Come Saturday night

    (Tell them what we like, Daryl)

    We like ol' Waylon
    Hey, we know Van Halen
    We like ZZ Top
    We like country and rock

    Old Hank would be proud
    And Elvis would too
    Cause we like our country
    Mixed with some big city blues

    We are young country
    We are the pride
    The sons and the daughters
    Of American life

    Old Hank would be proud
    (Oh, yes he would)
    And Elvis would too
    (Thank you very much)
    Cause we like our country
    Mixed with some rhythm and blues

Album: The Truth About Men
Released: 1st July 2003

  • written by Paul Overstreet, Rory Lee Feek, Tim Johnson

    We don't like to go out shopping
    We 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 uh, 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 4
    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 every 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 something cold for drinking
    And a whole lot of 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 lot of 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

Artist: Blake Shelton
Album: Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning
Released: 13th March 2007

  • written by David Bellamy

    Hey, redneck girl likes to cruise in Daddy's pickup truck
    And a redneck girl plays her heart when she's down on her luck
    Living for Friday afternoon
    She's gonna show one ol’ boy that weekend moon

    And I pray that someday I will find me a redneck girl
    Redneck girl likes to stay out all night long
    She makes sweet rock'n'roll while she listens to a country song
    She's waitin' for that moment of surrender
    Her hands are calloused but her heart is tender

    And I pray that someday I will find me a redneck girl
    Yeah, gimme a, gimme a, gimme a redneck girl
    Yeah, gimme a, gimme a, gimme a redneck girl

    Gimme a, gimme a, gimme a redneck girl
    Yeah, gimme a, gimme a, gimme a redneck girl

    Redneck girl got a name on the back of her belt
    She got a kiss on her lips for her man and no one else
    Coyote's howling out on the prairie
    First comes love, then comes marriage

    And I pray that someday I will find me a redneck girl
    Yeah, gimme a, gimme a, gimme a redneck girl
    Gimme a, gimme a, gimme a redneck girl
    What you say, boys
    You got to give me a, give me a, give me a redneck girl

    Gimme a, gimme a, gimme a, gimme a redneck girl

    [Michael]
    Another summer day is come and gone away
    In Paris or Rome
    But I want to go home
    Mmmmmmmm

    [Blake]
    Maybe surrounded by a million people I
    Still feel all alone
    I wanna go home
    Oh, I miss you, you know

    [Michael]
    I've been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
    Each one a line or two
    "I'm fine, baby, how are you?”

    [Blake]
    I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
    My words were cold and flat
    And you deserve more than that

    [Blake]
    Another airplane, another sunny place
    I'm lucky I know
    But I want to go home
    I've got to go home

    [Michael]
    Let me go home
    Cause I'm just too far from where you are
    I gotta go home

    [Blake]
    And I feel just like I'm living someone else's life
    It's like I just stepped outside
    When everything was going right

    [Michael]
    And I know just why you could not come along with me
    Cause this was not your dream
    But you always believed in me

    [Blake]
    Another winter day has come and gone away
    And even Paris and Rome
    And I want to go home
    Let me go home

    [Michael]
    And I'm surrounded by a million people
    I still feel alone
    Oh, let go home
    Babe, I miss you, you know

    [Both]
    Let me go home

    [Blake]
    I've had my run
    Baby, I'm done
    I’m coming back home

    [Michael]
    Let me go home
    Cause it will all be alright

    [Blake]
    I’ll be home tonight

    [Both]
    I'm coming back home

  • written by Doug Edwards, David Richardson

    She's faced the hardest times you could imagine
    And many times her eyes fought back the tears
    And when her youthful world was about to fall in
    Each time her slender shoulders bore the weight of all her fears
    And a sorrow no one hears still rings in midnight silence in her ears

    Let her cry for she's a lady
    Let her dream, she's a child
    Let the rain fall down upon her
    She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

    And if by chance I should hold her
    Let me hold her for a time
    If allowed just one possession
    I would take her in my arms to be mine

    Be careful how you touch her; she'll awaken
    Cause sleep's the only freedom that she knows
    And when you walk into her eyes, you won't believe
    The way she's always paying for a debt she never owes
    And a silent wind still blows, that only she can hear, and so she goes

    Let her cry for she's a lady
    Let her dream cause she's a child
    Let the rain fall down upon her
    She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

    Let her cry; oh, she’s a lady
    Let her dream cause she's a child
    Let the rain fall down upon her
    She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

    She's a flower growing wild
    She's a flower growing wild

    Empty house, empty rooms
    Empty bottle of Petrón

    There ain't nowhere we haven't gone

    There's this travel agent that I know
    Who says Cozumel is real nice

    And a room and a little bit of free advice

    Don't drink the water
    I told him that's OK
    I ain't going down
    To Mexico to drink the water anyway

    Or my old friend Jose
    I ain't going down
    To Mexico to drink the water anyway

    On this trip anything I sip
    Better have a kick and a burn
    Strong enough to get you off my mind
    Pickle my liver and a little grub of worm

    Don't drink the water
    That's what they say
    But I ain't going down
    To Mexico to drink the water anyway

    No one I know goes to Mexico
    To drink the water anyway

    Cheap red wine straight out of a coffee cup
    One more down to drink you off my mind
    Lord knows I've tried a thousand times to give you up
    But it's closing time and we both know why

    I’m just too selfish, I guess
    I know you're tired and restless
    It's no surprise we've come undone
    But I can't unlove you just because
    You say it's better in the long run

    We’ve been driving down this highway
    Now we're out of gas too far out of town
    Oh, and here we are all tangled up and sideways
    You're all broken down, yeah, I’m breaking down

    I’m just too selfish, I guess
    I know you're tired and restless
    It's no surprise we've come undone
    But I can't unlove you just because
    You say it's better in the long run

    Oh, maybe somewhere a little down the line
    I'll get a little better leaving us behind
    Maybe someday, oh, I'll be fine

    And you'll move on and I will too
    But still I don't see getting over you
    Oh no, no

    I’m just too selfish, I guess
    I know you're tired and restless
    It's no surprise we've come undone
    Oh no, I can't unlove you just because
    You say it's better in the long run

    In the long run

    Honey, I will always love you, but we'll never know

    Cause you ain't Dolly; oh, and you ain't Porter
    She's a little bit fuller; yeah, and you're a whole lot
    shorter
    We danced all night and filled the jukebox full of quarters
    Cause you ain't Dolly and you ain't Porter, no
    No, you ain't Dolly and you ain't Porter

    Heavenly hosts sing hallelujah

    With the dawn of redeeming grace

    And I feel like I'm losing my mind
    Banging my head up against the wall
    Staring at nothing cause I can't sleep at night
    Can't make it stop, yeah, I think too much
    What do I do? Falling apart
    I need a shock straight to my heart
    No one would want to be in my shoes right now, oh

    I don't reach for the bottle of whisky
    (Straight on the rocks)
    But you won't see me popping the pills
    (P-p-popping the pills)
    Cause if I want the pain to go away
    In a second make it fade
    You're the only thing that will
    You're my medicine, medicine
    My m-m-medicine, medicine
    My m-m-medicine

    You know you're an expert at complicating things
    (That’s how I'm wired, believe me it's no fun)
    But you make the war seem like such an easy game
    (Kiss me and my arguments come undone)
    Down in the trenches, you are the white flag
    Make me surrender, want you so bad
    Baby, don't stop what you started
    Don't ever be done, oh

    I don't reach for the bottle of whisky
    (Straight on the rocks)
    But you won't see me popping the pills
    (P-p-popping the pills)
    Cause if I want the pain to go away
    In a second make it fade
    You're the only thing that will
    You're my medicine, medicine
    My m-m-medicine, medicine
    My m-m-medicine

    You make it all better, better
    You make me feel home
    You make it all better, better
    You make me feel home

  • written by Steve Dorff, Jay Landers, Bobby Tomberlin

    Time has a way of changing everything
    That goes for almost anything but us
    Always have and I always will remain
    Words from a heart that you can trust
    While others come and go
    You can always know
    I'm here for you
    Whenever you might need me

    Sometimes if you're lucky
    You'll find that certain someone
    You can always count on to be true
    If I had the choice of only one friend in this world
    You know that I'd want it to be you

    You're still sweet as a honey bee, after all these years
    And you'll always be that funny girl to me
    Season to season we'll always have a reason
    You mean, to be the best of friends that we can be (that's right)
    Someone you can turn to (I turn to you)
    Every minute of the day
    Warm memories to hold on to
    That will never fade away

    Sometimes if you're lucky
    You'll find that certain someone
    You can always count on to be true
    If I had the choice of only one friend in this world
    You know that I'd want it to be you

    You're like a sweet familiar song
    A good book when I'm alone
    A cup of coffee when I'm cold
    A country road that leads me home

    Sometimes if you're lucky
    You'll find that certain someone
    You can always count on to be true
    If I had the choice of only one friend in this world
    You know that I'd want it to be you

    Until I make it home again
    I thank God he gave me you
    We'll stay the way we were forever true
    There's no one in this world that's been
    A better friend to me than you

Title: Wishin’ Boot
Artist: Saturday Night Live Cast ft. Blake Shelton
Album: Wishin’ Boot [Single]
Released: 29th January 2015

  • written by Saturday Night Live Cast

    Sometimes the storm clouds seem dark
    It feels like there's no hope
    But trust us, there's something out there, watching over you
    All you gotta do is believe

    When I was sixteen, our farm burned down
    Daddy took to drinkin' all over town
    I raised my brothers in an old motel
    Went from livin' in heaven to starvin' in hell
    And then one day I heard a knock at the door
    Opened it up and saw a boot on the floor

    It was a wishin' boot, the wishin' boot
    The little black boot that makes your dreams come true
    It was a wishin' boot, it was full of food
    When you're in need, just believe
    In the wishin' boot

    When I was young nobody taught me wrong from right
    Started stealin' trucks by day and hookin' by night
    Goin' nowhere fast in a one horse town
    Shot a johnny in Amarillo and they took me down
    I was in jail facin' twenty to life
    Til the warden said there's a visitor that wants to say hi

    It was a wishin' boot, the wishin' boot
    It paid my bail and bought me a new suit
    Cause that boot could see, see the good in me
    Next day by dawn it was gone
    That's the wishin' boot

    I was workin' in the barn with my ol' dog Jake
    When the wishin' boot appeared, and I thought, this is a mistake
    I walked up to the boot to say everything's alright
    Then the boot pulled out a knife and threatened my life
    This was not the wishin' boot, it was a fake
    And suddenly my good ol' dog began to change shape

    It was a wishin' boot, the real wishin' boot
    The whole dang time that dog had been the boot
    Oh, wishin' boot, beautiful and true
    You're so much more than a boot
    You're the wishin' boot

    The wishin' boot is a boot and it's there when you need it
    Don't ask how it knows what it knows
    Just take what it gives you
    And never let it go

    It's the wishin' boot, just believe it's true
    It's hope in the form of a little ol' dirty boot
    You’re the wishin' boot, the boot is you
    Tell all your friends ‘bout the boot
    ‘bout the wishin' boot
    ‘bout the wishin' boot
    ‘bout the wishin' boot
    The wishin' boot

    Almost heaven, West Virginia
    Blue ridge mountain, Shenandoah river
    Life is old there, older than the trees
    Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze

    Country roads, take me home
    To the place I belong
    West Virginia, mountain mama
    Take me home, country roads

    All my memories, they gather round her (if I should stay)
    A miner's lady, stranger to blue water (I would only be in your way)
    So I'll go, yet I know (dark and dusty, painted on the sky)
    I'll think of you every step of the way (misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye)

    Country roads, take me home
    To the place I belong
    West Virginia, mountain mama
    Take me home, country roads

    On the road again
    Like a band of gypsies, we go down the highway
    We're the best of friends
    Insisting that the world keep turning our way
    And our way

    Country roads (country roads), take me home (take me home)
    To the place I belong
    West Virginia, mountain mama
    Oh, take me home, country roads

    Oh, I hope life treats you kind
    And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
    I wish you joy and happiness
    But above all this, I wish you love

    And I will always love you
    I will always love you
    Country roads
    Take me home, country roads (and I will always love you)
    On the road again (I will always love you)
    I just can't wait to get on the road again
    Country roads
    The life I love is makin' music with my friends (I will always love you)
    I can't wait to get on the road again
    Take me home, country roads
    I will always love you
    I'll always love you

    Pour me another Tequila Sheila
    Take off that red satin dress

    For all the damn gold in Juarez

    I feel like old Pancho Villa, Sheila
    And sure could use a friend (I got Pesso to spend)
    So pour me another Tequilla Sheila
    And lay down n'love me again

    Though I can tell you about it
    But don't mind my gun by the bed
    I feel kind of naked without it
    And it eases the fear in my head

    Just pass me the salt n'the lemon
    Bend down n'blow out the light
    I never had trusted the woman
    But Sheila I'll trust you tonight

    Pour me another Tequila Sheila
    Take off that red satin dress
    I cross the border and I beat the dealer
    For all the damn gold in Juarez

    I feel like old Pancho Villa, Sheila
    And sure could use a friend (I got Pesso to spend)
    So pour me another Tequilla Sheila
    And lay down n'love me again

    Sheila I'm hearing your heart beat
    But I'm hearing footsteps outside
    The courtyard is crawling with damn federalists
    And Sheila there's no place to hide

    I don't know who could have tipped them
    nobody knew but you
    But I can't make love to a squealer, Sheila
    So I guess there's just one thing to do

    Pour me another Tequila Sheila
    I'm gonna put on your red dress, you put on my cloths
    You go out and face the dealer
    And Sheila, I wish you the best

    I feel like old Pancho Villa, Sheila
    I need a fast horse and a friend
    So pour me another Tequila Sheila
    And I'll ride towards the border again

  • written by Roger Ferris

    Last night I broke the seal on a Jim Beam decanter
    That looks like Elvis
    I soaked the label off a Flintstone Jelly Bean jar
    I cleared us off a place on that
    One little table that you left us
    And pulled me up a big ole piece of floor
    I pulled the head off Elvis
    Filled Fred up to his pelvis
    Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone
    And so are you

    'Round about ten we all got to talking
    'Bout Graceland, Bedrock and such
    The conversation finally turned to women
    But they said they didn't get around too much
    Elvis said, "Find 'em young."
    And Fred said, "Old Fashioned girls are fun."
    Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone
    And so are you

    Later on it finally hit me
    That you wouldn't be 'a comin' home no more
    Cause this time I know you won't forgive me
    Like all of them other times before
    Then I broke Elvis's nose
    Pouring the last drop from his toes
    Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone
    And so are you
    Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone
    And so are you

    I've always been the kind of man who doesn't believe in strings
    Long term obligations are just unnecessary things
    But girl you've got me thinkin', while I'm drinking one more beer
    If I'm headed for a heartache, then why the hell am I still here

    I'm testin' my resistance and its wearin' mighty thin
    I got the feelin' I should leave before the roof caves in
    My mind tells me to move along but my body begs me stay
    And now I feel the need to hold you close and love the night away

    While you're turnin' me
    Every which way but loose
    You turn me every which way but loose
    Inside the fire's burnin' me
    In mind you just keep turnin' me
    Every which way but loose
    Baby there's no excuse
    To turn me every which way but loose

    When the sun comes up in the mornin' it should find me someplace new
    But right this minute all I want is to lay here next to you
    Those memories still keep callin' me from somewhere in my past
    Better hurry if they want me cause I can feel me fading fast

    While you're turnin' me
    Every which way but loose
    You turn me every which way but loose
    Inside the fire's burnin' me
    In mind you just keep turnin' me
    Every which way but loose
    Baby there's no excuse
    To turn me every which way but loose

    And what you're workin' with
    Lookin' in the mirror, seein' all your flaws

    Roses are red, violets are blue

    Throw caution to the wind
    Like a dandelion wish, go wild and free
    Roses are red, violets are blue
    Wallflowers and weeds are beautiful, too
    Wallflowers and weeds are beautiful, too

    The you you are that's in the dark

    Show 'em all your colors
    Don't worry what they think
    It's the different that makes you fit
    And don't you quit

    Right outside of this one church town
    There’s a gold dirt road to a whole lotta nothing
    Got a deed to the land but it ain’t my ground
    This is God’s country

    We pray for rain and thank Him when it’s falling
    ’Cause it brings the grain and a little bit of money
    We put it back in the plate, I guess it’s why they call it
    God’s country

    I saw the light in a sunrise
    Sitting back in a forty on the muddy riverside
    Getting baptized in holy water and shine
    With the dogs runnin’

    Saved by the sound of the been found
    Dixie whistle in the wind, that’ll get ya heaven bound
    The devil went down to Georgia but he didn’t stick around
    This is God’s country

    We turn the dirt and work until the week’s done
    We take a break and break bread on Sunday
    Then do it all again because we’re proud to be
    From God’s country

    I saw the light in a sunrise
    Sitting back in a forty on the muddy riverside
    Getting baptized in holy water and shine
    With the dogs runnin’

    Saved by the sound of the been found
    Dixie whistle in the wind, that’ll get ya heaven bound
    The devil went down to Georgia but he didn’t stick around
    This is God’s country
    God’s country

    I don’t care what my headstone reads
    Or what kinda pinewood box I end up in
    When it’s my time, lay me six feet deep
    In God’s country

    I saw the light in a sunrise
    Sitting back in a forty on the muddy riverside
    Getting baptized in holy water and shine
    With the dogs runnin’

    Saved by the sound of the been found
    Dixie whistle in the wind, that’ll get ya heaven bound
    The devil went down to Georgia but he didn’t stick around
    This is God’s country

    Yeah, I saw the light in a sunrise
    Sitting back in a forty on the muddy riverside
    Getting baptized in holy water and shine
    With the dogs runnin’

    Saved by the sound of the been found
    Dixie whistle in the wind. that’ll get ya heaven bound
    The devil went down to Georgia but he didn’t stick around
    This is God’s country

    [Verse 1: Chris Janson]
    When you rise real broke down
    Got a real smoke, real way out
    In the real kinda BFE
    You're SOL as far as you can see
    When your girl gets real mad
    And she rips up your real grass
    When she's a real kinda real gone like that
    No doubt they're gonna have your back

    [Chorus: Chris Janson]
    Talkin' 'bout real friends
    Fish that you ain't gotta reel in
    Call 'em and they'll be the first ring picker-uppers
    Get you unstuckers
    Same town, same twang, and different mothers
    Real friends, y'all that you're all in
    Ones who haul you home when you've been drinkin'
    Too much, too long, when the right goes wrong
    Who you gonna count on?
    Talkin' 'bout your real, real, real friends

    [Verse 2: Blake Shelton]
    If you're single, single wide kickin'
    If you're hilltop big house livin'
    If it's hittin' the fan or if it's hittin' the jackpot
    They don't give a damn about what you got

    [Chorus: Blake Shelton]
    Real friends
    Fish that you ain't gotta reel in
    Call 'em and they'll be the first ring picker-uppers
    Get you unstuckers
    Same town, same twang, different mothers
    Real friends, y'all that you're all in
    Ones that haul you home when you've been drinkin'
    Too much, too long, when the right goes wrong
    Who you gonna count on?
    Talkin' 'bout your real, real, real friends
    Real friends

    [Bridge: Chris Janson]
    Got your hat, got your back when you get bucked off
    Cool your head when it gets too hot

    [Chorus: Both, Blake Shelton & Chris Janson]
    Talkin' 'bout real friends
    Fish that you ain't gotta reel in
    Call 'em and they'll be the first ring picker-uppers
    Get you unstuckers
    Same town, same twang, different mothers
    Real friends, y'all that you're all in
    Ones who haul you home when you've been drinkin'
    Too much, too long, when the right goes wrong
    Who you gonna count on?
    Tell us 'bout your real, real, real friends
    Real, real, real friends
    Your real, real, real friends
    Real friends

Album: Years
Released: 7th February 2019

  • written by John Anderson, Dan Auerbach, David Ferguson

    Sometimes a man just needs to be alone
    Drive the Blue Ridge Parkway to the sky
    I don't know where I'm goin'
    There ain't no way of knowin'
    Tryin' to forget the reasons why

    Tuesday I'll be gone
    It's time for movin' on
    My road to happiness, it
    Might be long
    Tuesday I'll be gone

    Take a ride down the road out in the country
    And drive the long way around
    It don't matter which way or what direction
    Long as I am freedom-bound

    Yeah, Tuesday I'll be gone
    It's time for movin' on
    Gonna find my way somehow
    Gonna ride to the edge of sundown
    Find a place In some small town
    To lay my head down

    My road to happiness, it
    Might be long
    My road to happiness, it
    Might be long, but
    Tuesday I'll be gone
    Tuesday I'll be gone

    Don't have to leave this town to see the world
    Cause it's something that I gotta do
    I don't wanna look back in 30 years
    And wonder who you're married to
    I wanna say it now, wanna make it clear
    For only you and God to hear
    When you love someone, they say you set 'em free
    But that ain't gonna work for me

    I don't wanna live without you
    I don't wanna even breathe
    I don't wanna dream about you
    Wanna wake up with you next to me
    I don't wanna go down any other road now
    I don't wanna love nobody but you
    Looking in your eyes now, if I had to die now
    I don't wanna love nobody but you

    All the wasted days, all the wasted nights
    I blame it all on being young
    Got no regrets cause it got me here
    But I don't wanna waste another one
    I've been thinking about what I want in my life
    It begins and ends the same
    If I had to choose what I couldn't lose
    There would only be one thing

    I don't wanna live without you
    I don't wanna even breathe
    I don't wanna dream about you
    Wanna wake up with you next to me
    I don't wanna go down any other road now
    I don't wanna love nobody but you
    Looking in your eyes now, if I had to die now
    I don't wanna love nobody but you
    I don't wanna love nobody but you

    I wanna say it now, wanna make it clear
    For only you and God to hear

    I don't wanna live without you
    I don't wanna even breathe
    I don't wanna dream about you
    Wanna wake up with you next to me
    I don't wanna go down any other road now
    I don't wanna love nobody but you
    Looking in your eyes now, if I had to die now
    I don't wanna love nobody but you

    When dollar beers are worth every cent
    Splitting the rent, you and your boys five deep in a two bedroom
    Parking lot view, sleeping till noon, doing what you wanna do
    When you're high on life and life can't get any better

    Then a girl a walks in, you know the right one, you can tell
    Shinin' like a million dollar penny in a wishin' well
    Buyin' drinks turns into buyin' roses
    You're thinkin' rings, changing names, that's how the story goes
    Just when you think you've got it all and then
    A girl walks in
    Yeah, a girl walks in

    When you're stayin' up late just to talk on the phone
    You hate sayin' goodnight, you hate sleepin' alone
    So you pack up the back of your truck with her stuff
    That two year lease ain't long enough
    When you're high on life, and life can't get any better

    Then a girl walks in, you know the right one dressed in white
    The kind you wanna keep the rest of your life
    Then you're raisin glasses, droppin' roses
    She's dancin' with her daddy, that's how the story goes
    That's when you think you got it all and then
    A girl walks in
    Yeah, and a girl walks in

    A girl walks in
    And says there's one on the way
    Then one day

    A girl walks in lookin' like her mama
    Says I love you daddy, right then you know she's gonna
    Steal your heart and you'll have to let her go
    When that boy comes along, that's how the story goes
    Just when you think you got it all and then
    Oh, ain't it funny how you think you got it all and then
    A girl walks in
    Yeah a girl walks in
    Then a girl walks in

    Yeah, I met you 'fore anyone knew my name
    Playin' for pennies on the dive bar stage
    Split an all-star special on our first date in a Waffle House booth
    Your daddy was cryin' when he gave you away
    'Cause all those country songs I played
    They didn't come with a 401k
    But hey, I had you

    You can make a six pack on the carpet
    Taste like a million dollar bill
    You can make a one bed room apartment
    Feel like a house up on the hill
    You can make my truck out in the driveway
    Roll like a cleaned up Cadillac
    Girl, lookin' at you lookin' at me that way
    Can make a man feel rich on minimum wage

    Girl, your love is money, your love is money
    Yeah, your love can make a man feel rich on minimum wage
    Girl, your love is money, your love is money
    Yeah, your love can make a man feel rich on minimum wage

    You can give me a tab that's always open
    Or give me a yacht parked out in the ocean
    But all that keepin' up with the Jones'
    It just ain't my style
    Just give me some lights strung out in the yard
    Give me a lawn chair under the stars
    The top of the world's right where you are
    'Cause every time you smile

    You can make a six pack on the carpet
    Taste like a million dollar bill
    You can make a one bed room apartment
    Feel like a house up on the hill
    You can make my truck out in the driveway
    Roll like a cleaned up Cadillac
    Girl, lookin' at you lookin' at me that way
    Can make a man feel rich on minimum wage

  • written by Jessie Jo Dillon, Jon Mark Nite, Richard Chase Mcgill

    Second hand lighters, headlight dreamers
    Backseat players, windshield singers
    Small town livin' love the haters
    Main street beat drop rearview shakers
    They say we're never gonna grow up

    Hand stamped, handshakes
    Love drunk, tipsy
    Mapco coke and a whiskey kiss me
    Strap off a shoulder, feel that fire
    Embers in her eyes gonna burn me higher

    They say we're never gonna grow up
    Well they might be right, 'cause we're loud we're alive
    And tonight we're raisin' somethin' cold up
    We thought we would one day
    But hey we ain't 'cause one day still ain't showed up
    I guess we're never gonna grow up

    Fall in too fast, hang on too long
    Screw what we need, do what we want
    Leave our mark, like black on leather
    Don't they know we'll live forever

    We're never gonna grow up
    Well they might be right, 'cause we're loud we're alive
    And tonight we're raisin' somethin' cold up
    We thought we would one day
    But hey we ain't 'cause one day still ain't showed up
    Oh, I guess we're never gonna grow

    Ain't gettin' old if it ain't old now
    (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
    They say we're never gonna grow up (oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

    We're never gonna grow up
    Well they might be right, 'cause we're loud we're alive
    And tonight we're raisin' somethin' cold up
    We thought we would one day
    But hey we ain't 'cause one day still ain't showed up
    No, we're never gonna grow up

    No, we're never gonna grow (oh-oh-oh)
