Well, She ain't your typical backwoods country girl She likes bright lights, night life Brother she can rock your world And her sweet little smile can catch any man off guard And it's hard to stop a good thing Once it starts She's a train comin' off the track A horse that cant be tamed If you ever try to hold her back She's gonna bring the pain She can give you all that you can handle Then she'll give you more But where I come from She's just the girl next door She's good, good, good at going way to far And with moves like that Who cares what her intentions are She's a train comin' off the track A horse that cant be tamed If you ever try to hold her back She's gonna bring the pain She can give you all that you can handle Then she'll give you more But where I come from She's just the girl next door

My Love 02:41
I don't wanna ever have to say I lost it Gonna save it up and put it in my pocket Lock it away somewhere So when the day is too long And you just can't bear it Come on home and I'm there to share my love Oh my love, my love Oh and baby when the world has got you down and feeling weary Just call my name Ill come around and hold you near me My love Oh my love, my love, my love You know, you know, you know You got the best of me And you know, you know, you know I got what you need When my arms won't reach My mouth won't speak, my eyes won't see You still believe in me and my love Oh my love, my love I've been waiting pretty baby For a rainy day to save me To lay in bed with you And you can drive me crazy my love Oh my love, my love, my love You know, you know, you know You got the best of me And you know, you know, you know I got what you need Oh my love, my love, my love, my love

You don't know How I feel It takes more than time For hearts to heal I said "hello" You said "goodbye" I've seen the truth But I still live a lie So let me go Watch me fall apart Dig this hole And leave me in the dark I may be low But baby you can bet I ain't as low as I can get I've searched this soul And all I've found Was torn apart And broken down And I don't need Your life of sin Climbing out Is like sinking in So let me go Watch me fall apart Dig this hole And leave me in the dark I may be low But baby you can bet I ain't as low as I can get

Good To Me 03:40
Picasso and his brush Galileo and the stars Einsteins IQ Bo Duke jumping cars Hank Aaron and that swing Elvis and those moves Everybody's got their thing And the thing that you do You're so good At being good to me It's what you were born to do No need to think it through When it comes to loving me It's only you Dr. Seuss and his rhymes Casanova and his charm Until the end of time I want you in my arms You're so good At being good to me It's what you were born to do No need to think it through When it comes to loving me It's only you

Late 03:05
I had a way of getting good grades Doing as little as I could do When the homework was passed to the front of the room I sat there and I played the fool And I did my best To lie through my teeth I told her my dog ate it after it caught fire Still she didn't believe She said Late You can do your best to plan for the worse It's ok Another story to tell, another lesson to learn I gathered the nerve to ask for a date From the prettiest girl in school So when she said "yes" and the night arrived I was feeling good and looking cool I left on time Showed up at the door Boy my face turned red when that old man said I should've turned 6 blocks before I was late You can do your best to plan for the worse It's ok Another story to tell, another lesson to learn Well the love grew fast And she took my name And just like that My whole life changed When she sat me down I knew right away With that look in her eyes And that smile on her face I held her hand as she started to say I'm late And we did our best to plan for the birth We're ok Bedtime stories to tell, a lot of lessons to learn

The day you kicked me out of the house You said pack your things and get out right now You said move on, get yourself on track Now you see how far I've gone and want me back Cuz now I'm making millions baby Singing the songs you didn't know you wrote for me You always said I'd get nowhere but It was you who got me here Talk about some irony You always said I'd be nothing without you I'm glad to say baby you knew What more could I be? If this is nothing baby, Then nothing's good enough for me And I want to thank you for the 3-car garage The heated pool is nice and the big backyard And I bought that hot tub that you wanted so bad I never use it, I just knew it'd make you mad You thought I went crazy, I said I'd make you believe But I never knew, that you'd influence me Now I'm making millions baby Singing the songs you didn't know you wrote for me You always said I'd get nowhere but It was you who got me here Talk about some irony You always said I'd be nothing without you I'm glad to say baby you knew What more could I be? If this is nothing baby, Then nothing's good enough for me I wish I could have saw your face When you saw me on TV Dancing around on your screen Singing my songs On CMT Cuz now I'm making millions baby Singing the songs you didn't know you wrote for me You always said I'd get nowhere but It was you who got me here Talk about some irony You always said I'd be nothing without you I'm glad to say baby you knew What more could I be? If this is nothing baby, Then nothing's good enough for me

All 05:18
This hearts been broken But you don't seem to mind This empty space is filled With things you left behind And every shadow That moves across this room They haunt my mind, take me back to a time Before I lost you And I wonder Do you ever think of me? Cuz I still believe That we're all but over We're all but through These 4 walls that surround me Every breath I breathe is you I recall all the memories Where I feel like you belong Because you're all You're all to me You're all to me but gone My friend's say Throw away all she left They don't realize that In my mind I've kept You alive and well and In this hell I've made I'll stay because you Never went away That we're all but over We're all but through These 4 walls that surround me Every breath I breathe is you I recall all the memories Where I feel like you belong Because you're all You're all to me You're all to me but gone

Momma likes to party And daddy doesn't mind But he'd rather remember all those nights Through a pair of bloodshot eyes While mommas getting prettied up Daddies waiting in the car They drive downtown to the closest lounge God momma loves that bar They walk right up to the bar She opens daddy's tab A small price to pay for him not to remember The night they're about to have Well the whiskeys hard And the musics loud The bottoms go up The people go down It's best for daddy not to know what mommas thinking So when momma parties Daddy does the drinking Jim Beam and Jack Daniels Are daddies best friends They're the only 2 who stick it through Until the very end Well the beer takes the memories And the whiskey takes the fear They've been doing a hell of a job For the last 15 years Well the whiskeys hard And the musics loud The bottoms go up The people go down It's best for daddy not to know what mommas thinking So when momma parties Daddy does the drinking

Lullaby 03:36
This jail cell is so damn cold Your tears fall down Shatter on the ground below There's nothing to run from You take one day at a time And pray the next one doesn't come Because time means nothing here Time is the first thing You learn not to fear All you have for company Is all your useless thoughts And painful memories Looking back on all I've done It's safe to say that I don't like who I've been Now I've got my whole life To think about all the things I'll never do again One false move One step over the line Sometimes I wish I could go back in time My heart can't take it anymore This weary body has no soul like before Looking back on all I've done It's safe to say that I don't like who I've been Now I've got my whole life To think about all the things I'll never do again

It was his 3rd bar that week It doesn't pay the rent when you play For beer and gasoline But he had dreams Bigger than this town And he prayed every night the neon lights Would help him be found Then one day He made a demo CD Packed up all his things Moved to Tennessee He played it for all who would listen All them suits up in the suites They said "boy, something's missing You'll never fill the seats Just take it from me" Cuz He ain't got the look He ain't got the style He ain't got that thing That drives the ladies wild He ain't got the boots He ain't got that down home drawl But he's got the songs Well he spent the next few years Trying to prove them wrong Putting all his heart and soul and time Into writing brand new songs about Love and loss and heartache Scars and broken dreams Waylon, whiskey and women And what life really means Then one day just after closing A man with his own show said "You ever dream of playing On that country radio" And they played it for all who would listen And that boy lit up the lines Said "you got what country's missing We'll make the suits change their minds What the hell was on their minds saying?" Cuz He ain't got the look He ain't got the style He ain't got that thing That drives the ladies wild He ain't got the boots He ain't got that down home drawl But he's got the songs Well the crowds They grew bigger And he was living his dream He's got everything he wants in life And everything he needs Cuz he's got the look And he's got the style And he's got the girls Cuz he drives them wild And he's got the crowds And they're all just singing along Cuz he's got the songs

Pedro 04:22
I was driving through some little Cuban town When a little old man flagged me down So I stopped and I offered him a ride I opened my door and he climbed in Said my names Juan boy, thanks for the lift When you stopped for me it really took me by surprise Juan where you headed I said with a smile He said down the road just a couple miles There's a little place known by very few When he climbed in he set a cage on his lap I was intrigued and so I asked Hey Juan, what's that you're taking with you? He said this is Hank, he's a fighting cock He's one of the best and he's won me a lot And you're just about to take us to win more Pesos So I said Juan, Hey can I stop by? Give this cock fighting thing a try And he said sure but just beware before we go There's a funny little man that just happens to Block all the birds when they get loose So no pretty Senioritas get hurt When we walked in I saw what he meant He had a big ol' bird caught by the fence And I saw this living legend at work He's Pedro the cock blocker He's the greatest in the south He'll do his best, put em' to the test To keep those peckers out When you see him there You better beware Your pecker don't stand no chance He's Pedro the cock blocker He's the greatest in the land Pedro knew exactly what he was doing He grabbed a stick and he got right to it And he took that bird and pushed it away Juan said boy let me tell you the tale He took a big breathe and then he exhaled And gathered the words that he was about to say He said I think it was back in '77 There was this bird with bad intentions And nobody else was willing to step in Until a funny little man from out in the crowd Stood right up and shouted out loud And so the legend of Pedro begins I was amazed at the talent he shown The cock turned away his shot was blown And he knew there was no possible way out The senioritas cheered at that gutsy man As he held that crazy cock in his hand They knew they were safe without a doubt He's Pedro the cock blocker He's the greatest in the south He'll do his best, put em' to the test To keep those peckers out When you see him there You better beware Your pecker don't stand no chance He's Pedro the cock blocker He's the greatest in the land If you're ever down in a Cuban town Just ask Juan, he'll show you around And you're gonna hear the tale I just told So bring you cock, just beware There's a funny little man who does his share To keep his legend from growing old He's Pedro the cock blocker He's the greatest in the south He'll do his best, put em' to the test To keep those peckers out When you see him there You better beware Your pecker don't stand no chance He's Pedro the cock blocker He's the greatest in the land
