COUNTRY MUSIC LYRICS

Lyrics

Title

All them other boys wanna wind you up and take you downtown But you look like the kind that likes to take it way out

We Were Walkin' in High Cotton Old times there are not forgotten

But there was somethin bout the way The blue lights were shinin Bringing out the freedom in your eyes

I’ll never settle down, That’s what I always thought. Yeah, I was that kind of man, just ask anyone

I'm not big on social graces, Think I'll slip on down to the oasis

I was singing to you, you were singing to me I was so alive, never been more free. Fired up my daddy's lighter and we sang oh

And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee.

Got it goin' on, Like Donkey Kong And whoo-wee Shut my mouth, slap your grandma

Buyin' drinks for everybody But the pilot, it's a party Got this 737 rocking like a G6

Same old boy Same sweet girl Ten years down the road

There's a party back in the woods tonight, Heard it through the redneck grapevine, Got a keg of beer and a bunch of girls, Sure enough gonna be a good time

I like to see the sunrise, See the love in my woman's eyes Feel the touch of a precious child, And know a mothers love

Yeah, when I first saw that bikini top on her, She’s poppin’ right out of the South Georgia water

King in the can and the Marlboro man Jack 'n' Jim were a few good men Where you learned how to kiss and cuss, and fight too Better watch out for the boys in blue.

Heading down south to the land of the pines I'm thumbing my way into North Carolina Staring up the road and pray to God I see headlights

Watching girls in bikinis is like watching a slinky walk down the stairs Can't help but stare

I'm just watchin' her blonde hair, sun burn, stare at them, white caps rollin' over Laid back in a thrift store beach chair, droppin' limes in her Corona

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

This thing burns gas like crazy But that's all right People got their ways of copin' Oh, and I've got mine

I know they say you can't go home again I just had to come back one last time Ma'am, I know you don't know me from Adam But these hand prints on the front steps are mine

He said, "I was in my early forties with a lot of life before me. When a moment came that stopped me on a dime

Well, it's alright to be little bitty A little hometown or a big old city Might as well share, might as well smile Life goes on for a little bitty while

This old man and me were at the bar and we Were havin' us some beers and swappin' I don't cares Talkin' politics, blonde and red head chicks Old dogs and new tricks and habits we ain't kicked

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"

Something about beer sitting on ice After a long hard day makes it taste just right On that dropped tailgate on a summer night Something about beer sitting on ice

There's not enough rain in Oklahoma To wash the sins out of that house There's not enough wind in Oklahoma To rip the nails out of the past

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors

Quarter in a payphone Drying laundry on the line Watching Sun Tea in the window Pocket watch for tellin' time Seems like only yesterday I'd get a blank cassette Record the country countdown 'cause I couldn't buy it yet

Back this hitch up into the water Untie all the cables and rope Step onto the astro turf Get yourself a coozie Let's go

It started way back in third grade I used to sit beside Emmylou Hayes A pink dress, a matching bow and her pony tail She kissed me on the school bus, but told me not to tell
