    Just a bunch of poor boys, daddy's girls
    Children of the corn field
    Tryna turn a shift job into a dollar bill
    We wear them muddy boots
    Stay true to how we're raised
    Ain't nothin’ ‘bout us fake

    You know we're straight out of that dirty south
    Dirty roads, nobody got no money
    Got them shined up pickup trucks
    Whistlin' at them honeys
    From the country, yes sir
    You know we're straight out of that long week work
    At night, everybody wanna party
    All night long, bonfire on the back 40
    In the middle of nowhere, ain't nobody leavin' here
    Til we're straight outta cold beer, straight outta cold beer

    Just a bunch of John Deere junkies
    Gettin' funky to some old Hank
    Nothin' been stuck in the mud that we can't
    Hook up to a rusty chain in the summer or in the rain
    Yeah, it's a kind of thing

    You know we're straight out of that dirty south
    Dirty roads, nobody got no money
    Got them shined up pickup trucks
    Whistlin' at them honeys
    From the country, yes sir
    You know we're straight out of that long week work
    At night, everybody wanna party
    All night long, bonfire on the back 40
    In the middle of nowhere, ain't nobody leavin' here

    When you put two and two together
    You figure out love's got four letters
    I shoulda known that when I met her
    But she had to spell it out for me

    After all that second guessin’
    It's been a long hard history lesson
    Hell, that's a class I got an F in
    But now I understand perfectly

    She put the her in hurt
    She put the why in try
    She put the S.O.B. in sober
    She put the hang in hangover (hangover)
    She put the ex in sex
    She put the low in blow
    She put a big F.U. in my future
    Yeah, she’s got a way
    She’s got a way with words
    Yeah, she's got a way with words

    Little words like "I" and "do"
    Lying, cheating, screwed
    Yeah, all the words I thought I knew
    They got a brand new meaning now

    She put the her in hurt
    She put the why in try
    She put the S.O.B. in sober
    She put the hang in hangover (hangover)
    She put the ex in sex
    She put the low in blow
    She put a big F.U. in my future
    Yeah, she’s got a way

    Baby, where are you going now?
    Do you ever really know?
    Oh, you hate to be tied down
    But you hate to sleep alone

    I bet you still think about me
    Yeah, I bet you still think about me

    Like I think about you
    Even when I don't want to
    There’s just somethin’ about you, baby
    There’s nothin’ that I can do
    I think about you, you were always wild and free
    I know we couldn’t hold on forever, but baby
    I bet you still think about me

    Are you driving up the coast?
    Are you wearing any shoes?
    Did you outrun all your ghosts?
    Like you were always trying to do

    I bet you still think about me
    Yeah, I bet you still think about me

    Like I think about you
    Even when I don't want to

    There's something 'bout yesterday
    How fast it all flies away
    I don't know what it is about a goodbye kiss
    That makes you wanna stay
    We were crazy, then we were over
    We were breakin’ up, makin’ love, a runaway roller coaster

    Every time I hear that song
    I’m standing in the pouring rain
    On your front lawn and ooh-ooh-ooh
    I still think about you-ooh-ooh
    Every time I hear that song
    It's like the first time it came on and ooh-ooh-ooh
    I still think about you-ooh-ooh
    I still think about you

    There’s something in the bittersweet
    The feeling of a memory
    Right there in the moment
    All I ever wanted was you and me
    We were crying, we were wasted
    We were dying when they played it

    Every time I hear that song
    I’m standing in the pouring rain
    On your front lawn and ooh-ooh-ooh
    I still think about you-ooh-ooh
    Every time I hear that song
    It's like the first time it came on and ooh-ooh-ooh
    I still think about you-ooh-ooh
    I still think about you
    Oh, I still think about you

    There's a soundtrack in my mind
    That takes me back in time
    When I hear that melody
    I think about you and me

    Every time I hear that song
    I’m standing in the pouring rain
    On your front lawn and ooh-ooh-ooh
    I still think about you-ooh-ooh
    Every time I hear that song
    It's like the first time it came on and ooh-ooh-ooh
    I still think about you-ooh-ooh
    I still think about you

    Oh, I still think about you
    I still think about you
    Yeah, still think about you

    There's a soundtrack in my mind
    That takes me back in time
    When I hear that melody

    Girl, you're getting over him and I'm getting over her
    The eyes have it, babe, ain't gotta say a word
    Misery loves company, that's why it's you and me
    Buying each other drinks
    Back at the bar, as thick as thieves
    Stealing these little sips
    Doing our best to make the best of the worst of it

    Keep playing them songs, keep singing along
    Keep leaning it on in closer
    Keep salting the rim, getting even with her
    And with him before the night is over
    That first kiss was like a Colorado hit
    We better keep on keeping it lit
    Til we can't remember, can't remember
    What we came here to forget

    Go ahead and check your phone
    Like I've been checking mine
    Nobody's ex texting for a rewind
    Looks like it's just me and you
    Falling in love just enough to get us through
    What we're gettin’ through

    Keep playing them songs, keep singing along
    Keep leaning it on in closer
    Keep salting the rim, getting even with her
    And with him before the night is over
    That first kiss was like a Colorado hit
    We better keep on keeping it lit
    Til we can't remember, can't remember
    What we came here to forget (yeah)
    Just what we came here to forget

    Looks like it's just me and you
    Falling in love just enough to get us through
    What we're gettin’ through

    Keep playing them songs, keep singing along
    Keep leaning it on in closer
    Keep salting the rim, getting even with her
    And with him before the night is over
    That first kiss was like a Colorado hit

    Wrong side of town on the second floor
    Couple blocks down from the liquor store
    I got a love seat and a couple DVDs we can watch ...or not

    I could call a car it will be two minutes
    Til it's at the bar and we hop in it
    It's pretty clear that we're both here to get over someone

    So if you wanna come over, come on
    If you need a shoulder, it's on
    I know you got your past and baby, I got mine

    But every goodbye
    Could be the start of something new
    Maybe that starts with me and you
    We got all night
    To get to know each other better
    And try moving on together, together

    I could kill the pain that you’ve been in
    You could be my heartbreak medicine
    Proof that even dark clouds have a silver lining
    Every goodbye
    Could be the start of something new
    I wanna start something with you

    There's a reason that we're both here right now
    And a reason everything didn't work out
    With two sets of previous relationships at the same time

    Every goodbye
    Could be the start of something new
    Maybe that starts with me and you
    We got all night
    To get to know each other better
    And try moving on together, together

    I could kill the pain that you’ve been in
    You could be my heartbreak medicine
    Proof that even dark clouds have a silver lining
    Every goodbye
    Could be the start of something new
    I wanna start something with you

    So baby, come over, come on
    If you need a shoulder, it's on
    I know you got your past and I got mine

    But every goodbye
    Could be the start of something new
    Maybe that starts with me and you
    We got all night
    To get to know each other better
    And try moving on together

    So baby, come over, come on
    If you need a shoulder, it's on
    I know you got your past and I got mine
    But every goodbye

    Easy, easy, easy
    It ain't easy, mmmm, it ain't easy
    Easy, easy, easy, easy..

    Yeah, I used to be alright just saying goodnight
    Maybe see you tomorrow
    Yeah, I could go a couple of days
    Just doing my thing, whatever I wanted

    But now, your kisses hit me like lightning
    Can’t fight it, girl, you put it on me
    Yeah, you stone me, when you ain’t with me
    I ain’t nothing but lonely

    It ain't easy anymore
    When I'm walking out your door
    My feet drag across the floor
    And it just about kills me
    I hate picking up my keys
    I hate kissing you goodbye
    No, I ain't gonna lie
    With that look in your eyes
    And your arms around me
    Girl, believe me
    It ain't easy anymore
    No, it ain't easy, that's for sure

    Something different ‘bout a Friday night
    And the neon lights if you ain't beside me
    Now I love it when you call me on the phone
    Saying, hurry on home
    You got something special on
    And it's just for me
    Damn, you make it hard to leave

    It ain't easy anymore
    When I'm walking out your door
    My feet drag across the floor
    And it just about kills me
    I hate picking up my keys
    I hate kissing you goodbye
    No, I ain't gonna lie
    With that look in your eyes
    And your arms around me
    Girl, believe me

    It ain't easy leaving my baby in the bed
    And driving away knowing the last thing you said
    Was, "Don't go, don't leave, lay here with me"
    Girl, you're making me crazy
    It ain't easy, no, no, no, it ain't easy
    It sure ain’t, baby, yeah, baby

    It ain't easy anymore
    When I'm walking out your door
    My feet drag across the floor
    And it just about kills me
    I hate picking up my keys
    I hate kissing you goodbye
    No, I ain't gonna lie
    With that look in your eyes
    And your arms around me
    Girl, believe me
    It ain't easy anymore

    No, it ain't easy, walking out your door
    Mmm, no, it ain't easy, no, no
    No, it ain't easy walking out your door
    It ain't easy, oh, it ain't easy

    Sometimes I'm the guy with the boys kickin’ it back
    Or the guy with a guitar singin’ on a country track
    I might be the guy with an ice cold can
    Stirrin’ up dust on some old farmland
    When I walk into the party with you, girl
    You change all that

    And I’m just the guy with the girl everybody wants to know
    Wishin’ you were there alone
    Wonderin’ how I ever got your little hand in mine
    Lookin’ over at ya like, "Ain’t she beautiful?"
    I’m invisible, but I stand right there and smile
    You're right beside me, oh
    And I see the same thing they’re seein’
    But I don’t mind being the guy with the girl, no

    It's funny watchin' 'em do the way they do
    They come walkin' up to me but they only wanna talk to you
    And I don't blame ‘em that they're hypnotized
    They keep staring at your heartbreak eyes
    It's like their heart starts stoppin' when
    You come walkin' into the room

    And I turn into the guy with the girl everybody wants to know
    Wishin' you were there alone
    Wonderin' how I ever got your little hand in mine
    Lookin' over at ya like, "Ain’t she beautiful?"
    I’m invisible, but I stand right there and smile
    You're right beside me, oh
    And I see the same thing they’re seein'
    But I don’t mind being the guy with the girl

    The guy that don't know how he got her
    But he ain't never gonna let her, never gonna let her go
    Woah-oh, yeah

    I’m just the guy with the girl everybody wants to know
    Wishin' you were there alone
    Wonderin' how I ever got your little hand in mine
    Lookin' over at ya like, "Ain’t she beautiful?"
    I’m invisible but I stand right there and smile
    You're right beside me, oh
    And I see the same thing they’re seein'

    (Guy with the girl)
    No, I don't mind being the guy with the girl
    (Guy with the girl)
    Yeah, I'm just the guy with the girl
    I'm always the guy with the girl
    I don't mind it, baby
    I don't mind it, baby
    I'm always the guy with the girl

    The sun is setting on your last good try
    Here I am again with half a goodbye
    Wonder if you're really gone this time
    Just when I'm about to lose my mind
    There you are again on my phone
    The moon is rising and you're all alone
    Maybe we could just hang a while
    Maybe we can make each other smile
    Oh no, here I go

    [Duet]
    Why don't you go ahead and break my heart?
    Why are you waiting, is it way too hard?
    If moving on is what you wanna do
    Why don't you do it? Why don't you do it, baby?
    You can't tell me that we'll still be friends
    And maybe someday we can try again
    If you really need a brand new start
    Why don't you go ahead and break my heart?

    [Gwen]
    I'd never ever meant to get so into you
    Thought I was using you just to get me through
    You know I'm broken, I don't trust anyone
    Last thing I needed was to fall in love
    You've got me dreaming, got me thinking I've got some
    hope
    There is nobody else I wanna get to know
    But I'm so scared, I don't know what to do
    How did you get me so into you?
    Oh no, here I go

    [Duet]
    Why don't you go ahead and break my heart?
    Why are you waiting, is it way too hard?

    You can't tell me that we'll still be friends
    And maybe someday we can try again
    If you really need a brand new start
    Why don't you go ahead and break my heart?

    There's your reasons
    There's your cards
    What are you waiting for?
    Go on and break my heart

    Yeah, you can't tell me that we'll still be friends
    And maybe someday we can try again
    If you really need a brand new start
    Why don't you go ahead and break my heart?
    Oh, go on and break, go on and break my heart
    Go on and break, go on and break my heart

    There's a moment in this journey that I gave up
    My boots just couldn't walk another mile
    And that cloud above me had no silver lining
    I couldn't buy a break with my last dime

    Oh, but when I saw you standing in the corner
    I’d've never thought that you would have my back
    But then we rolled in like the thunder and the lightning
    Threw some punches then we had a laugh

    Just some roughed up desperados
    Hanging tough through thick and thin
    Kicking up dust wherever we go
    I can see that you and me are gonna be friends

    Who’d’ve thought we'd wind up here together?
    It's crazy that we're standing side by side
    Fighting just like two birds of a feather
    Who's gonna tell us now that we can't fly?

    Just some roughed up desperadoes
    Hanging tough through thick and thin
    Kicking up dust wherever we go
    I can see that you and me are gonna be friends
    To the end you and me are gonna be friends

    Yeah, here we go
    Hey, hey, you and me
    Different as different can be
    You like to rock, I like to roll
    You take the high and I'll take the low
    Woah, woah-oh, woah, woah-oh

    Just some roughed up desperados
    Hanging tough through thick and thin
    Kicking up dust wherever we go
    I can see that you and me are gonna be friends
    To the end you and me are gonna be friends

    I can see that you and me are gonna be friends, yeah

    I've got a guitar I play unplugged
    I've got a home-grown girl I love
    And when the summer time hits, we skinny dip in the stream
    I was green before green was a thing

    Yeah, I've got a hundred acre farm
    I've got a John Deere in my barn
    I've got a garden in my yard, full of roots, baked potatoes and greens
    I've got a guitar I play unplugged
    I've got a home-grown girl I love
    And when the summer time hits, we skinny dip in the stream
    I was green before green was a thing

    Oh yeah

    People would say I'm lying
    If I tried to tell 'em how we met tonight
    They'd ask how many drinks I'd had
    Cause ain't no way it all went down that right
    You were waiting on somebody
    And they never did show
    You were pissed off, leaving
    Came back cause you forgot your phone

    There I was
    Yeah, I just sat down in the seat you left
    You walked up
    I said, "What are you doing with your beautiful self?"
    You rolled your eyes but you laughed and your song came on
    I begged you for a dance and we danced
    And it was on, eyes locked, clock stopped
    One little kiss, no, we never meant to start falling in love
    Oh man, you can't make this up

    Then I walked you out to your car
    It wouldn't start cause you left on your lights
    Then you just shook your head and laughed
    And said, "I guess I need a ride"
    Then come to find out your house
    Was just a block from mine
    Yeah, this is one of those movie scene
    Cool kinda things where the stars align
    Just an hour ago...

    There I was
    Yeah, I just sat down in the seat you left
    You walked up
    I said, "What are you doing with your beautiful self?"
    You rolled your eyes but you laughed and your song came on
    I begged you for a dance and we danced
    And it was on, eyes locked, clock stopped
    One little kiss, no, we never meant to start falling in love
    Oh man, you can't make this up

    You can’t make up a night like this
    You can’t make up a story like that
    It’s one of those
    How in the world did it happen kind of things
    I’d never believe it
    If I didn’t see it, girl

    There I was
    Yeah, I just sat down in the seat you left
    You walked up
    I said, "What are you doing with your beautiful self?"
    You rolled your eyes but you laughed and your song came on
    I begged you for a dance and we danced
    And it was on, eyes locked, clock stopped
    One little kiss, no, we never meant to start falling in love
    Oh man, you can't make this up

    You can’t make up a night like this
    You can’t make up a story like that
    Oh no

    I'm standing in my savior's shadow
    He is watching over me
    I feel the rain, I hear the thunder
    As he cries for me

    And standing in my savior's shadow
    Grace will lead to where I'm free
    I take his hand, we walk together
    And his light shines on me

    Though the devil tried to break me
    My sweet Jesus won't forsake me
    When I'm in my savior's shadow
    I’m where I'm supposed to be

    I'm standing in my savior's shadow
    Following his footsteps there
    Every mountain, every ocean
    He hears my every prayer

    Though the devil tried to break me
    My sweet Jesus won't forsake me
    When I'm in my savior's shadow
    I’m where I'm supposed to be

    Though the devil tried to break me
    My sweet Jesus won't forsake me
    When I'm in my savior's shadow
    I’m where I'm supposed to be
    When I'm in my savior's shadow
    I’m who I'm supposed to be
