Caught Up In The Country

Burn Something

We get off on the flame
I know we said we’re through
But here it comes
Here we go again
Even though every time we do
We burn something

We ain’t no walk in the park
We’re like sparkin’ kerosene
We’re better off apart
But dammit girl I need
To burn somethin’

So tonight come lay down by my side
Bite my lip, light me on fire
Get this bed so hot we should be running
Run your fingers down my back
Only you can strike that match
Love me just like we ain’t learned nothing
Baby let’s burn something

Till there’s no more flame to feed
All the smoke is all smoked out
We’ll deal with the ashes when tomorrow rolls around

But tonight come lay down by my side
Bite my lip, light me on fire
Get this bed so hot we should be running
Run your fingers down my back
Only you can strike that match
Love me just like we ain’t learned nothing
Baby let’s burn something
C’mon baby let’s burn something

Like the bridge we keep rebuilding
Just to send it back up in a blaze baby
‘Cause we can’t get enough

So tonight come lay down by my side
Bite my lip, light me on fire
Get this bed so hot we should be running
Run your fingers down my back
Only you can strike that match
Love me just like we ain’t learned nothing
C’mon baby let’s burn something
C’mon baby let’s burn something
Baby let’s burn

Caught Up In The Country

Figure Out You (Riddle)

Andrew Dorff, Casey Beathard, & Monty Criswell

There’s a smoke ring halo over your head
Well you stop on green and go on red
You say the dirtiest things in the prettiest drawl
You ain't scared to jump but you're afraid to fall

You keep me beautifully confused
First kiss I stole I knew
I wanna spend the rest of my life trying to figure out you

Well I can't make you love me if you don't
And leave this long-haired country boy alone
In the mirror while you're putting on your make up
I'm thinking fast ball, you throw me a change up
You're my favorite wonder of this world
I got a million crazy questions, girl
But only one I know the answer to
I wanna spend the rest of my life trying to figure out you

You me push me away and say where you been
You never wanna see me till you see me again
You’re my cloud 9 high and all time low
It’s a pricey deal but I'm still sold

You keep me beautifully confused
First kiss I stole I knew
I wanna spend the rest of my life trying to figure out you

Well I can't make you love me if you don't
And leave this long-haired country boy alone
In the mirror while you're putting on your make up
I'm thinking fast ball, you throw me a change up
You're my favorite wonder of this world
I got a million crazy questions, girl
But only one I know the answer to
I wanna spend the rest of my life trying to figure out you

Well I can't make you love me if you don't
And leave this long-haired country boy alone
In the mirror while you're putting on your make up
I'm thinking fast ball, you throw me a change up
You're my favorite wonder of this world
I got a million crazy questions, girl
But only one I know the answer to
I wanna spend the rest of my life trying to figure out you
The rest of my life trying to figure out you

Thank God For You

Burned tire marks, hometown street
Red Trans Am, bad boy streak
Head held high, little too proud
Turned 18, got the hell out
I was ready to show ‘em all a thing or two
Thank God for you

Jack on the rocks, Skynyrd bar band
College dropout, no kinda plan
Holes in my boots, one pair of jeans
American girls, Mexican weed
Sure ‘nough bound for nowhere
That’s the truth
Thank God for you

I thank God there’s angels for young wild rebels
Girls who can dance you away from the devil
And make my world spin ‘round the way you do
I thank God for the days on the front porch swinging
Holding your hand, the whole time thinking how lucky I am
Thank God for you
(Woahh, woahhh)

Pawn shop guitar turned up loud
Jar full of tips, beer drinking crowd
Feel right at home up on the stage
Songs about you, hell that I raised
I still got a wild hair or two
Thank God for you

I thank God there’s angels for young wild rebels
Girls who can dance you away from the devil
Make my world spin ‘round the way you do
I thank God for the days just a front porch swinging
Holding your hand, the whole time thinking how lucky I am
Thank God for you
(Woahh, woahhh)
(Woahh, woahhh)

I thank God there’s angels for young wild rebels
Girls who can dance you away from the devil
Make my world spin ‘round the way you do
I thank God for the days just a front porch swinging
Holding your hand, the whole time thinking how lucky I am
Thank God for you

So Good

I love this town
But I can’t hang around here no more
I see your face in every place we used to go
As soon as I walk through the door
Can’t get my heart around what happened
We were lovin’ and laughing and having a ball
You called me baby and you swore that you were crazy for me
Now you ain’t even taking my call

Hadn’t been so good
It wouldn’t be so bad
Hadn’t been so damn happy
It wouldn’t be so sad

I could tough it out
Let you go
Man up and let it roll off my shoulders
Yes I could
If it hadn’t been so good
It hadn’t been so good

If you’re saying our song is faded and gone
And our dance is done
Least I can say I made you smile for a while
Baby leaving would be easy
Wouldn’t be no crying
And goodbye wouldn’t feel like dying
If it hadn’t been so good

If it hadn’t been so good
So good

If it hadn’t been so good
It wouldn’t be so bad
If it hadn’t been so damn happy
Wouldn’t be so sad

I could tough it out,
Let you go,
Man up and let it roll off my shoulders
Girl I could
If it hadn’t been so good
So good
So good
So good
So good
So good

What Lonely Looks Like

Luke Laird & Barry Dean

(If this is what lonely looks like)
I’s supposed to be
Sitting at the house
Thinking about how it didn’t work out
Wondering what I coulda done different

Yeah some buddies of mine
Were saying that I been down for too long
It’s about time to walk it off
And get on with it

I’s sitting here, on my second beer
Through the Marlboro Light smoke, you appear
And it hit me that I just might be alright

If this is what lonely looks like
Bring on them sad songs
Turn up that done me wrong
Sometimes they save you when they say goodbye
Everybody ain’t meant to be
But the way you’re looking at me
It makes me think I’m gonna be fine, fine, fine, fine, fine
If this is what lonely looks like
Yeah if this is what lonely looks like

So there it is and here we are
The ace of spades and the queen of hearts
Sharin’ a drink and a shoulder
Wondering where you want to go when it’s over
The funny thing about a memory is you can let it hold you down
Or have another round and make a few more
That smile of yours
Look in your eyes
Thinkin’ I might be alright

If this is what lonely looks like
Bring on them sad songs
Turn up that done me wrong
Sometimes they save you when they say goodbye
Everybody ain’t meant to be
But the way you’re looking at me
It makes me think I’m gonna be fine, fine, fine, just fine
If this is what lonely looks like
Yeah if this is what lonely looks like

Your lips got me forgetting all the might-have-beens
Nobody likes it when a movie ends
But then again, when you came walkin’ in

I said if this is what lonely looks like
Bring on them sad songs
Turn up that done me wrong
Sometimes they save you when they say goodbye
Everybody ain’t meant to be
But the way you’re looking at me
It makes me think I’m gonna be fine, fine, fine, fine, fine
If this is what lonely looks like
Yeah if this is what lonely looks like

My Life

My eyes were brown
I spent my whole life looking down
Dodging punches, bounced around
Telling myself I wasn’t no count
I’m starting to see things different now
Out of nowhere you showed up
Said you liked my edges rough
Felt your touch and for the first time
I didn’t wanna buck

I love my eyes ‘cause you look into ‘em
And I love my name ‘cause you say it, baby
I love my heart ‘cause you stole it
My kiss ‘cause you want it
My mind ‘cause you’re on it every minute
I love my life ‘cause you’re in it

A vagabond
Just running from my blood
keeping my back to the sun
The whiskey on my breath
Bitter words on my tongue
Showed you the truth
You kissed my scars and the faded faces on my cards
Ain’t the man I used to be
Because of who you are

I love my eyes ‘cause you look into ‘em
And I love my name ‘cause you say it, baby
I love my heart ‘cause you stole it
My kiss ‘cause you want it
My mind c’ause you’re on it every minute
I love my life ‘cause you’re in it

It’s just the beginning of
A beautiful ending love
Your love makes life worth living, worth living

I love my eyes ‘cause you look into ‘em
And I love my name ‘cause you say it, baby
I love my heart ‘cause you stole it
My kiss ‘cause you want it
My mind ‘cause you’re on it every minute
I love my life ‘cause you’re in it
I love my life ‘cause you’re in it

Cover Me Up

Jason Isbell

A heart on the run keeps a hand on the gun
Can’t trust anyone
I was so sure what I needed was more
Tried to shoot out the sun
Days when we raged, we flew off the page
Such damage was done
But I made it through
‘Cause somebody knew I was meant for someone

Girl, leave your boots by the bed
We ain't leaving this room
Till someone needs medical help
Or the magnolias bloom
It's cold in this house and I ain't going out to chop wood
So cover me up and know you're enough
To use me for good

I put your faith to the test when I tore off your dress
In Richmond on high
But I sobered up and I swore off that stuff
Forever this time
And old lover's sang
“I thought it'd be me who helped him get home”
But home was a dream
One that I'd never seen till you came along

So girl, hang your dress up to dry
We ain't leaving this room
Till Percy Priest breaks open wide
And the river runs through
And carries this house on the stones
Like a piece of driftwood
So baby cover me up and know you're enough
To use me for good

Girl, leave your boots by the bed
We ain't leaving this room
Till someone needs medical help
Or the magnolias bloom
It's cold in this house and I ain't going out to chop wood
So cover me up and know you're enough
To use me for good
So cover me up and know you're enough
To use me for good

Sugar cover me up and know you’re enough
To use me for good

Young Man

We were thin as rails
Thick as thieves
Little acorns trying to be trees
16 going on 18 going on 21
We choked on smokes, gagged on bourbon
Hitting ‘em both, bound and determined
To be anywhere but where we were
Somebody mighta said it but we wouldn’t of heard it
(Say)

Young man you’re growin’ up so fast
You only get one chance, one chance to be a young man,
Young man
You won’t know what these carefree days are worth
When you’re up to your blue collar neck in work
Soak it in while you still can
Just be young, just be young man

She was driving me wild in a Z28
Strawberry boones, was gas on a flame
She had her finger on the trigger
Neither one of us considered the safety
Backseat rodeo was all fun and games
Till she told me I ruined her life, she was late
I wanted to run ‘cause all I could think

I’m a young man growin’ up so fast
I only get one chance, one chance to be young man,
Young man
You’re gonna know what your carefree days are worth
When you’re up to your blue collar neck in work
Soak it in while you can just be young just be just be
Young man
(Don’t just be young)

Son I’m cool when you do what do
The flat brim hat and peach fuzz chin
When I go to hug you and you try to shake my hand, think again
Take it from your old man
You’re growing up so fast
And you only get one chance one chance to be a young man,
Young man

You don’t know what your carefree days are worth
Till your up to you’re blue collar neck in work
So soak it in while you can just be young just be young, man
Just be young
Don’t just be young
Just be young, young man

Everybody's Got Something

I DRIVE A NEW WAY HOME
AND I TOOK YOUR PICTURES OFF MY PHONE
I DON’T GO WHERE WE USED TO GO
I TURN YOUR SONG OFF THE RADIO
CAUSE IT PUSHES MY BUTTONS
YEAH, EVERYBODY’S GOT SOMETHIN’

I GAVE AWAY THAT DRESS YOU LIKED
THOUGHT OUTTA SIGHT OUTTA MIND
DON’T REALLY MATTER WHAT I DO
YOU’RE A SHADOW I CAN’T LOSE
NO, I CAN’T OUT RUN IT
YEAH, EVERYBODY’S GOT SOMETHIN’

EVERYBODY’S GOT SOMETHIN’, SOMETHIN’
THEY CAN’T GET AROUND
EVERYBODY’S GOT ONE THING, THE ONE THING
THEY CAN’T SEEM TO DO WITHOUT
IT AIN’T CIGARETTES OR BOOZE, FOR ME IT’S YOU
EVERYBODY’S GOT SOMETHIN’

IT AIN’T THE STORM OR THE NEIGHBORS FIGHTIN’
KEEPIN’ ME AWAKE AT NIGHT
IT’S YOUR LIPS ON A GLASS OF WINE
I’VE PLAYED IT BACK A THOUSAND TIMES
CAN’T STOP IT FOR NOTHIN’ NO
EVERYBODY’S GOT SOMETHIN’

EVERYBODY’S GOT SOMETHIN’, SOMETHIN’
THEY CAN’T GET AROUND
EVERYBODY’S GOT ONE THING, THE ONE THING
THEY CAN’T SEEM TO DO WITHOUT
IT AIN’T CIGARETTES OR BOOZE, FOR ME IT’S YOU

IT AIN’T MARLBORO RED OR JOHNNY WALKER BLUE
EVERYBODY’S GOT SOMETHIN’
EVERYBODY’S GOT SOMETHIN’
FOR ME IT’S YOU
FOR ME IT’S YOU

Waiting On A Good Day

Rodney Atkins & Ted Hewitt

It rained all spring, we lost heifers in the flood
June, July, and August they were hotter’n Satan’s blood
Early September frost crippled crops this year
I think it’s safe to say that the Holidays won’t be happy here

We're just waiting on a good day to say goodbye
We’ve tried and tried but we can’t recall a stint of tougher times
We had a few good years
Then it got so sad ‘round here
We’ll have to cheer up to cry
So we're waiting on a good day to say goodbye

We don’t hate each other
Nah it’d never get that far
We know we’re both to blame for our half-hearted broken hearts
January’s just so bitter
Oh March’ll be much better
The grass is gonna get green again, till then we’ll stick together

Just waiting on a good day to say goodbye
We’ve tried and tried but we can’t recall a stint of tougher times
We had a few good years
Then it got so sad ‘round here
We’ll have to cheer up to cry
So we're waiting on a good day

‘Cause she’s not her, I’m not me
Till we’re ourselves we’ll drag our feet
And when the sun finally shines
She might be in love with the man she finds

Just waiting on a good day to say goodbye
We’ve tried and tried but we can’t recall tougher times
We had a few good years
Then it got so sad ‘round here
We’ll have to cheer up to cry
So we're waiting on a good day to say
I knew we’d make it through that rough patch together, babe
We’re just waiting’ on, waiting on a good good day
