To the man that waited on me at the Starbucks down on Main, I hope you understand
When I put on that t-shirt, the only thing I meant to say is I'm a Skynyrd fan
The red flag on my chest somehow is like the elephant in the corner of the south
And I just walked him right in the room
Just a proud rebel son with an 'ol can of worms
Lookin' like I got a lot to learn but from my point of view

I'm just a white man comin' to you from the southland

I can make anybody pretty
I can make you believe any lie
I can make you pick a fight
with somebody twice
your size. . .

Well I've been known to cause a few breakups
and I've been known to cause a few births

My buddy Blake was All-State
With dreams of the NFL
Jenny McClain had big brains
She got a scholarship to Yale
Then there was Hershel
Did two commercials
And he was going to be a movie star
But all I wanted was a car

Woahhhhh woahhhhhhh
Shes got Brazilian leather boots on the pedal of her German car
Listen to the Beatles singing back in the USSR
yeah shes goin around the world tonight
but she ain't leavin here
shes just going to meet her boyfriend down at the street fair

It's a french kiss, italian ice

Oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-ho

Like the Ferris wheel goes around and around
Well the trouble with up is there's always a down
First I'm holding your hand and we're on the boardwalk
There's heaven right here on these streets and these docks

But the sun keeps settin', the days go fast

When you're feeling lonely, lost and let down
Seems like those dark skies are following you around
And life's just one big shade of grey
You wonder if you'll see the light of day

Behind the clouds the sun is shining
Believe me, even though you can't quite make it out
You may not see the silver lining

I'm still breathing and my heart's still beating
I might as well start living again
And so I threw on a shirt
Put on a jacket went out to meet some friends
And now I'm acting like I couldn't be better
Like I've always got this smile on my face
Walking around weaving through the crowd
And trying not to look out of place

She was looking at shoes on Amazon
Her papa bad said find anyone
She thought about the first boy that she loved
Just a couple clicks and there he was

That night she sent a friend request
The next day she sat down at her desk
And four simple words Hey, how you been?

When you find yourself
In some far off place
And it causes you to rethink some things
You start to sense that slowly
You're becoming someone else
And then you find yourself

When you make new friends in a brand new town

I'm holdin' on to you
When I close my eyes
You're still in my arms
And we never said goodbye
And it's all that I can do
To go on with my life
But that's supposed to be the reason
Why I'm here tonight

A gun goes off in a far off city
A siren wails right here at home
Well sometimes life ain't all that pretty
When you're watching it all alone

You build a wall around your feelings
Just another heart afraid to break
And you don't wanna let me in cause really

I never knew how people wound up in a bar
In the middle of the day
Broken souls with broken lives
From the choices that they made
I didn't know how much I had to lose
When I threw it all away but

I do now, I do now, I'd give anything

Somebody's gotta scratch your back, the places you can't reach
Say something that'll make you laugh, that's exactly what you need,
And I hope that's me, I hope that's me.

Somebody's gonna get dressed up and take you out for valentine's,
Get lots of jealous looks thinking that's one lucky guy,
And I hope that's me, I hope that's me.

remember trying not to stare the night that I first met you
You had me mesmerized
And 3 weeks later in the front porch light taking 45 min to kiss goodnight
I hadn’t told you yet but I thought I loved you then

Chorus
Now you’re my whole life now you’re my whole world
I just can’t believe the way I feel about you girl

When a freight train jumps off a track
And rolls down my road
And its summer time in Texas
And they're playing in the snow
When politicians everywhere stop telling lies
And only state the facts
Right then, that's when
I'll take you back

"I'm Gonna Miss Her"

Well I love her
But I love to fish
I spend all day out on this lake
And hell is all I catch
Today she met me at the door
Said I would have to choose

D A
Darlin' after you left I got that promotion
D
They transferred me out to La Joya right on the ocean

And now I'm makin' more money than I can spend
G
I've got a house on the beach and a bunch of new friends

Shes 98 pounds working down at the Dairy Queen.
With an Ogilvie Home Perm, and braces.
and He's long haired, no job and just 19
They got a baby on the way.
They're off to the races in love.

Look at em' go.
Now what in the world could go wrong?

A single red rose and a table for two
A nice chardonay and an ocean view
Ships comin in and stars comin out
We sat and we talked till the place closed down
Then we took a long walk down on the beach
Her in that white dress and her bare feet
We stopped and we watched the lighthouse light
And pulled her close and i held on tight

She doesn't dare go in the place
With those bruises on her face
So she goes through the drive-through
and keeps her sunglasses on

She didn't know when she married that man
She'd get to know him like the back of his hand
But now she's had enough

Well there's a dark and a troubled side of life.
There's a bright and a sunny side too.
But if you meet with the darkness and strife,
The sunny side we also may view.

Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side,
Keep on the sunny side of life.
It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way,

If I could write a letter to me
And send it back in time to myself at 17
First I'd prove it's me by saying look under your bed
There's a Skoal can and a Playboy no one else would know you hid
And then I'd say I know it's tough
When you break up after seven months
And yeah I know you really liked her and it just don't seem fair
All I can say is pain like is fast and it's rare

Well I'll never forget the first time that I heard
that pretty mouth say that dirty word
And I can't even remember now
what she backed my truck into
but she covered her mouth
and her face got red
and she just looked so darn cute
That I couldn't

C
Darling I've been standing here just watching you all night
G
and I think I've even caught you watching me a couple times

If I don't ask I'll never know

This May sound dumb but here we go

Like a boat on a river
This bus is floating down this old highway
Looking out the window
I think about how I got here today
Oh, anyone who’s anywhere
Had some help getting there, it’s true
One of the reasons
Why I get to do the things I do

Well hey, hey Mr. Policeman
Bet I can drive faster'n you can
C'mon hoss lets have some fun
Go on shoot me with a radar gun
You look bored and I sure am
Catch me if you can
Hey hey Mr. policeman
I got a 75 firebird trans am

I've got some big news
The bank finally came through
And I'm holdin' the keys to a brand new Chevrolet
Have you been outside it sure is a nice night
How about a little test drive
Down by the lake

There's a place I know about where the dirt road runs out

You're fumbling around in the bedroom,
Trying to put on your shoes,
Hair still down, dress half on,
Looking like you’re about to blow a fuse.
I know what’s about to happen,
I can read you like a book,
You’re about to shoot that cute little "yeah, we're late" look...

"No"

On my fifth birthday, I got so upset,
About the brand new bike that I didn't get.
I'd prayed my heart out, and it didn't seem fair,
I told my Grandpa, "I guess God doesn't care,"
and he just smiled and said, "My child,

Had the time of my life,
Before I could see,
What was really going on,
And what you really thought of me.

But look at me now,
Eyes open wide.
Wiser today, and driving away,

So you ruffled some feathers, yeah, youve done it now
Turned the tables in the temple clean upside down
Youre out on a ledge and one things for sure
When youve got em all wishin youd never been born

Congratulations, you are officially alive
Its confirmation you are officially alive

(Brad)
Strong like a mother holds her child
Free as horses runnin wild
And real as a prayer on a lonely night
And sure as the ocean tide

[chorus]
Oh love

I work down at the pizza pit
And I drive and old Hyundai
I still live with my mom and dad
I 5'3 and overweight

I'm a Sci-fi fantatic
Mild asthmatic
Never been to 2nd base

I sat there and listened to the reasons I was given
As to why her bags were sittin' by the door
In great detail she told me how she could no longer live here
And it just wasn't working anymore
She had finally finished and her anger had diminished
Well, I took her hand and looked her in the eye
And in my desperation, I guess somehow I explained
Why it would be a shame to leave all this behind

You were a pain girl, a thorn in my side
Drove me insane girl, a white-knuckle ride
So why do I go lookin' through old photographs
And chase you down the hallways of our checkered past
Hold on for dear life and keep the fire fed
I oughta let go but instead

It's like I'm pressing on a bruise

Well I won 2 dollars on a scratch-off ticket
So I went back to the counter and I bought 2 more with it
And I, won 10 bucks and that was just right
So, I bought a six pack and a bag of ice
You know even if our ship came in and this is all we got
It ain’t like we really need a million dollar yacht, cause

[Chorus]

Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was much too thin
Well he didn't come down the chimney
So Mama must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him.

A clean shirt, new shoes
And I don't know where I am goin' to
Silk suit, black tie (black tie),
I don't need a reason why.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man

A gold watch, diamond ring,

A single working taillight on the trailer that she rented
Slowly disappeared around the bend
And I stood there in silence, wondering where she might be headed
As a chapter from my life came to an end
I was so sure I'd found the right one
I took my heart out on a limb
I know she really tried to love me
But she never really got over him

She's a yellow pair of running shoes
A holey pair of jeans
She looks great in cheap sunglasses
She looks great in anything
She's I want a piece of chocolate
Take me to a movie
She's I can't find a thing to wear
Now and then she's moody

You used to say you wanted someone to know you inside out
And as I look back on things well congratulations baby
Somebody knows you now

All of this time you told me you wished that you could figure yourself out
You say you're still a mystery but no not really not to me
Yeah somebody knows you now

When your wheelhouse is the land of cotton,
The first time you leave it can be strange, it can be shocking

Not everybody drives a truck, not everybody drinks sweet tea
Not everybody owns a gun, wears a ball cap boots and jeans
Not everybody goes to church or watches every nascar race
Not everybody knows the words to "Ring Of Fire" or "Amazing Grace"

Well I'm a sucker for fine Cuban cigars
The problem is I can't afford 'em
But last year I went and got myself a whole box
And just to be safe I insured 'em

[Chorus]
I took out a policy against fire and theft
And then I hurried home

Now there are men who make history
There are men who change the world
And there are men like me
That simply find the right girl
And in that very moment, it all becomes clear
What I’m meant to do, the reason I’m here
Now every night I thank the Lord I found you
And every time I put my arms around you

To the teller down at the bank
You're just another checking account
To the plumber that came today
You're just another house
At the airport ticket counter
You're just another fare
At the beauty shop at the mall
Well you're just another head of hair

I remember, trying not to stare the night that I first met you
You had me mezmorized
And three weeks later, in the front porch light
taking forty-five minutes to kiss goodnight
I hadn't told you yet
but I thought I loved you then

Chorus

You're not supposed
To say the word "cancer" in a song.
And tellin' folks Jesus is the answer
Can rub 'em wrong.
It ain't hip to sing about tractors,
Trucks, little towns,
and mama, yeah that might be true.
But this is country music and we do

Those crazy Christians, I was gonna sleep in today
But the church bells woke me up and they’re a half a mile away
Those crazy Christians, dressed up drivin’ down my street
Get their weekly dose of guilt before they head to Applebee’s

They pray before they eat and they pray before they snore
They pray before a football game and every time they score
Every untimely passing, every dear departed soul

Every time you take a sip
In this smoky atmosphere
You press that bottle to your lips
And I wish I was your beer
An' In the small there of your back
Your jeans are playing peek-a-boo8
I'd like to see the other half of your butterfly tattoo.

Bb C F
I could have been working overtime
Bb C F
or at home tryin to make that truck run right
Dm C
instead of wadin out in that stream
Bb Bb
all day long barely catchin a thing

After the breakup,
I really thought we'd make up.
Give her a little time, I'd be on her mind
And suddenly she'd wake up.
But today if you listen,
Softly off in the distance,
Somewhere 'cross town, you can hear the sound
Of wedding bells ringing.

When I am sitting in traffic some afternoon
Or bored to death in some waiting room
I am gonna close my eyes and picture you
Today

You keep brushing that hair back out of your eyes
And it just keeps falling and so do I
I am feeling like the luckiest man alive

A baby's born I the middle of the night
In a local delivery room
They grab his feet, smack'em till he cries;
He goes home the next afternoon
'Fore you know it he's off to school
And then he graduates in May
Goes out and gets a Ph.D., then cures all sorts of things
Wins a Nobel Prize and saves a million different lives

Inflatable pool full of dad’s hot air
I was three years old
Splashing everywhere
And so began my love affair
With water

On a river bank
With all my friends

The bar was empty
I was sweeping up the floor
That's when she walked in
I said, "I'm sorry but we're closed"
And she said "I know,
But I'm afraid I left my purse"
I said, "I put one back behind the bar
I bet it's probably yours"

When I was ten years old
I remember thinking how cool it would be
When we were going on an eight-hour drive
If I could just watch TV
And I'd have given anything
To have my own Pac-Man game at home
I used to have to get a ride down to the arcade
Now I've got it on my phone

You really left your mark
On this old house
And this old heart
I see you everywhere
And when I close my eyes
You're still there
And I know
You want me to move on
