Chris Young - Famous Friends Album Lyrics

Raised on Country

Got a little southern drawl in my talk
Little pickup truck on my highway
Got a little boot stomp in my walk
Little neon light in my Friday
Got some Tennessee in my whiskey
Raise a cup up if you with me

I was raised on Merle, raised on Willie
Got my Honky Tonk attitude from Joe Diffie
Daddy did too, it's family tradition
If someone cranks it up, you can't help but listen
My upbringing sounds like George Strait singing
And I gotta give props to the radio
'Cause if you know me, I was raised on country

It's the only reason that I survived
Every breakup and every party
It's the soundtrack to my life
It runs deep in my DNA

I was raised on Merle, raised on Willie
Got my Honky Tonk attitude from Joe Diffie
Daddy did too, it's family tradition
If someone cranks it up, you can't help but listen
My upbringing sounds like George Strait singing
And I gotta give props to the radio
'Cause if you know me, I was raised on country
I was raised on country

(Raised on country music)
Learned a lot about living and a little 'bout love
(Raised on country music)
And you know that's something I'm so proud of

I was raised on Merle, raised on Willie
Got my Honky Tonk attitude from Joe Diffie
Daddy did too, it's family tradition
If someone cranks it up, you can't help but listen
My upbringing sounds like George Strait singing
And I gotta give props to the radio
'Cause if you know me, I was raised on country

(Raised on country music)
Yeah, I was raised on country
(Raised on country music)
I was raised on country
(Raised on country music)

Famous Friends

[Chris Young]
My buddy Brandon holds the record
For single-season touchdown throws
And good ol' Johnny, he's the life of every party
It's like Cheers they know him everywhere he goes

[Chris Young & Kane Brown]
I've got some famous friends, you've probably never heard of
But back in Rutherford County, our crowd is second to none
You might not know 'em here in this big city we're in
But when I go back home, I've got some famous friends
Yeah I do

[Kane Brown]
My buddy Jason, he's the sheriff
He'll flash his lights but lеt me go
My boy Randy, he's a preachеr
My girl Megan, she's been teacher of the year
I swear for five years in a row

[Chris Young & Kane Brown]
I've got some famous friends, you've probably never heard of
But back in Hamilton County, our crowd is second to none

[Kane Brown & Chris Young]
I got friends in high places, on these small town roads
'Cause 'round here it's all about the people that you know

[Chris Young & Kane Brown]
I've got some famous friends, you've probably never heard of
But back in Davidson County, our crowd is second to none

You might not know 'em here in this big city we're in
But when I go back home, I've got some famous friends, yeah

Town Ain't Big Enough

We used to be the king and the queen
Of bringing life to a party
When you were there with me
I'd buy the drinks
You'd play the songs and be singin' along a little off-key
And just blame the whiskey

But now I wish that we could draw a line through the city
'Cause seein' those two blue eyes so pretty
Messes me up like it always does
This town ain't big enough

Your friends and mine
Run into each other all the time
Seems like there ain't no place to run
This town ain't big enough for both of us

Now I go out and I pray the whole time
That I won't see you smiling across the room and miss you
But it never fails, I always do

Wish that we could draw a line through the city
'Cause seein' those two blue eyes so pretty
Messes me up like it always does
This town ain't big enough

Your friends and mine
Run into each other all the time
Seems like there ain't no place to run
This town ain't big enough for both of us
This town ain't big enough

I wish that we could draw a line through the city
'Cause seein' those two blues eyes so pretty messes me up

Your friends and mine
Run into each other all the time
Seems like there ain't no place to run
This town ain't big enough for both of us
This town ain't big enough (this town ain't big enough)
Ain't big enough for both of us

Drowning

Still got your number in my phone
And even though you don't know I listen
I still call and wait 'til the tone
Just to hear you saying, "Leave a message"

Since you've been gone I've had to find
Different ways to grieve
There's days that I don't even want it on my mind
But tonight I'm weak

So, I'm gonna pull out pictures, ones with you in 'em
Laugh and cry a little while reminiscing
By myself
I can't help
That all I think about is
How you were taken way too soon
It ain't the same here without you
I gotta say, missing you comes in waves
And tonight I'm drowning

Yeah, I know you're in a better place
And one day I'll see you again
But it's killing me we can't be face to face
I miss my best friend

So, tonight I'm gonna pull out pictures, ones with you in 'em
Laugh and cry a little while reminiscing
By myself
I can't help
That all I think about is
How you were taken way too soon
It ain't the same here without you
I gotta say, missing you comes in waves
And tonight I'm drowning

Yeah, tonight I'm drowning

I know it's a part of life
But I wasn't ready to say goodbye

So, tonight I'm gonna pull out pictures, ones with you in 'em
Laugh and cry a little while reminiscing
By myself
I can't help
That all I think about is
How you were taken way too soon
It ain't the same here without you
I gotta say, missing you comes in waves
And tonight I'm drowning

Yeah, tonight I'm drowning

Rescue Me

Girl, I could be your Superman
Yeah, I could leap them tall, tall buildings for ya
Save the day like no one can
If you'd let me
I could stop a train in its tracks
Put the world on my back
In case you didn't see
Here go your hero
If you'd let me

But tell me, who is gonna rescue me?
'Cause it sure feels like kryptonite
How you got me on one knee
With my hand out beggin' for mercy
What's a happy ending if I can't get the girl?
What's it matter if I save the world?
If you don't promise me
Before you take this ring
And rescue me

(Rescue, rescue)
(Rescue, rescue)

Never thought I'd feel this way
Always thought that love was a villain, baby
But ever since you came around it's different
Those kisses are leaving me defenseless

Who is gonna rescue me?
'Cause it sure feels like kryptonite
How you got me on one knee
With my hand out beggin' for mercy
What's a happy ending if I can't get the girl?
What's it matter if I save the world?
If you don't promise me
Before you take this ring
And rescue me

(Rescue, rescue)
(Rescue, rescue)
Um, baby, rescue me (rescue, rescue)
(Rescue, rescue)

Stop a train in its tracks
Put the world on my back
Here go your hero
Here go your hero

But who is gonna rescue me?
'Cause it sure feels like kryptonite
How you got me on one knee
With my hand out beggin' for mercy
Yeah, what's a happy ending if I can't get the girl?
What's it matter if I save the world?
If you don't promise me
Before you take this ring
And rescue me

(Rescue, rescue)
(Rescue, rescue) mm
Yeah baby, rescue me, oh (rescue, rescue)
(Rescue, rescue)

Break Like You Do

I see you're doing well
Well, I'm not
Got someone new in your life
Well, I don't
I've been busy wantin' you back
And you've been busy movin' on way too fast
Guess my heart's takin' the long way out
It don't even know what to do
And seein' you with him tonight
I guess I don't break like you

I don't drink like you do, I can't just have one
'Cause I'm still drinkin' 'bout us, so I'll probably get drunk
Wish I could laugh and dance on a Saturday night
Like you do, like goodbye ain't even crossin' your mind
Maybe you're just good at gettin' gone
Or I'm just really bad at movin' on?
I'm still in love, girl, it's true
What can I say?
I hate that I don't break like you do

I wish I could just smile, say hello
Show you I'm doing fine, but I won't
'Cause I can't fake it through
Damnit, I don't break like you

I don't drink like you do, I can't just have one
'Cause I'm still drinkin' 'bout us, so I'll probably get drunk
Wish I could laugh and dance on a Saturday night
Like you do, like goodbye ain't even crossin' your mind
Maybe you're just good at gettin' gone
Or I'm just really bad at movin' on?
I'm still in love, girl, it's true
What can I say?
I hate that I don't break like you do, oh

I don't drink like you do, I can't just have one
So, I'll just sit right here, keep drinkin' 'bout us
I wish I could laugh, wish I could dance
But, baby, I just can't

I don't drink like you do, I can't just have one
'Cause I'm still drinkin' 'bout us, so I'll probably get drunk
Wish I could laugh and dance on a Saturday night
Like you do, like goodbye ain't even crossin' your mind
Maybe you're just good at gettin' gone
Or I'm just really bad at movin' on?
I'm still in love, girl, it's true
What can I say?
I hate that I don't break like you do
I hate that I don't break like you do

At the End of a Bar

You can find your future
Run into your past
You can look for answers
At the bottom of a glass
You can make a best friend
And never know their name
Buy 'em shots of tequila then forget why you came

There's a million things that you can find
Bartender conversation or a pair of blue eyes, yeah
Your true love or next broken heart
Maybe a party crowd on a friday night
Long necks, long lines and neon signs, hell
Sometimes that's where it all starts
At the end of a bar

You can hear a cover band
Playing 90's songs
Become a brand new man
To time marches on
Time marches on

There's a million things that you can find
Bartender conversation or a pair of blue eyes, yeah
Your true love or next broken heart
Maybe a party crowd on a friday night
Long necks, long lines and neon signs, hell
Sometimes that's where it all starts
At the end of a bar

There's a million things that you can find
Bartender conversation or a pair of blue eyes, yeah
Your true love or next broken heart (heart was broken)
Maybe a party crowd on a friday night
Long necks, long lines and neon signs, hell
Sometimes that's where it all starts
At the end of a bar
Oh-oh

The end, at the end of a, at the end of a
At the end of a bar (at the end of a bar)
At the end of a, at the end of a (oh you know that's right where it starts)
At the end of a bar

You can tell find your future
Run into your past
You can look for answers
At the bottom of a glass

Love Looks Good on You

First time I saw you sitting all alone at the bar
In that simple sundress, you can bet you were breaking some hearts
But since we got together I've watched
And you've taken it up one more notch

Yeah, baby, love looks good on you
Don't you know everyone stops and they watch how you shine when you walk in a room
When you smile with no makeup first thing when you wake up
You look like an angel, it's true
Yeah, baby, love looks good on you

There's a look in your eyes that I swear hadn't been there before
And you're wearing my t-shirt just like it was meant to be yours
So, baby, put your hand in mine
And let me love you the rest of our lives

Yeah, baby, love looks good on you
Don't you know everyone stops and they watch how you shine when you walk in a room
When you smile with no makeup, first thing when you wake up
You look like an angel, it's true
Yeah, baby, love looks good on you

It looks so good on you

And just like a bottle of wine
It only gets better with time

Yeah, baby, love looks good on you
Don't you know everyone stops and they watch how you shine when you walk in a room?
When you smile with no makeup, first thing when you wake up
You look like an angel, it's true
Yeah, baby, love looks good on you

Yeah, baby, love looks good on you
Baby, love looks good on you

One of Them Nights

Small town, sundown
Words done got around
Somethin' goin' down around here
Left at the stop sign
Just past the county line
Bring it on, bring your own beer

Back in the backwoods
Got a couple real good
Jars of Mountain Dew
There's an old dirt road
Where the good times grow
And I don't know about you

But it feels like one of them nights
It's finally Friday, gonna get right
Hay field lookin' like a runway
Blow them speakers on some country
Yeah, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout, y'all
No closing time, don't need a last call
The man in the moon's gonna leave on the lights
Drop it into four-wheel, feels like one of them nights

Barbed wire, mud tire
Throw a pallet on the fire
We've been waitin' all week
Shoes on the floorboard
Creek bank, dance floor
Sounds like a party to me

Ah yeah, it feels like one of them nights
It's finally Friday, gonna get right
Hay field lookin' like a runway
Blow them speakers on some country
Yeah, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout, y'all
No closin' time, don't need a last call
The man in the moon's gonna leave on the lights
Drop it into four-wheel, feels like one of them nights

(Yeah, it feels like one of them nights)

Ain't no guest list
Ain't gonna miss this
One we'll be talkin' about

But it feels like one of them nights
It's finally Friday, gonna get right
Hay field lookin' like a runway
Blow them speakers on some country
Yeah, you know what I'm talking 'bout, y'all
No closin' time, don't need a last call
The man in the moon's gonna leave on the lights
Drop it into four-wheel, feels like one of them nights

Yeah, it feels like one of them nights
Yeah, it feels like one of them

Small town, sundown
Words done got around
Somethin' goin' down around here

When You're Drinking

We've been down this road before
How many times am I gonna have to close that door?
When you've had wine, and you're lonely
Why is that the only time you ever want me?

You can call me an ex, when you hang out with your friends
You can call me on a Sunday, just to ask me how I've been
You can call me almost anytime, 'cept when you're under neon lights
'Cause you say you love me, and we know you don't mean it
So just don't call me when you're drinking
Just don't call me when you're drinking

'Cause I'll pick up and you'll Uber here
We'll do what we always do and you'll disappear
Then I'll wake up, still holding on
To something that I'll only have, 'til you're sober and you're gone

You can call me an ex, when you hang out with your friends
You can call me on a Sunday just to ask me how I've been
You can call me almost anytime, 'cept when you're under neon lights
'Cause you say you love me, and we know you don't mean it
So just don't call me when you're drinking
'Cause I'll start thinking, that this time you really need me
My heart just won't learn the lesson, that you're always gonna leave me

You can call me an ex, when you hang out with your friends
You can call me on a Sunday just to ask me how I've been
You can call me almost anytime, 'cept when you're under neon lights
'Cause you say you love me, and we know you don't mean it
So just don't call me when you're drinking
Just don't call me when you're drinking

Cross Every Line

If I was a quarterback and you were the cheerleader
And I was on the field and you were cryin' by the bleachers
Fourth quarter, fourth down, I wouldn't think twice
I'd take my helmet off, run to you right on the sidelines
If you were captured, baby, I would be relentless
I'd declare it war and run right out them trenches
Yeah, you'd hear my battle cry
I'd let the bullets fly
Wouldn't be an enemy let behind the enemy line

I'd cross every line in the world for you
I'd cross every line in the world for you
Nowhere I wouldn't go, nothin' I wouldn't do
I'd cross every line in the world for you

There'll be people in your life tellin' you that you can't
Be who you wanna be, drawin' lines in the sand
But I promise you now, I ain't that someone
When it comes to you, girl, I ain't ever gonna draw one

I'd cross every line in the world for you
I'd cross every line in the world for you
Nowhere I wouldn't go, nothin' I wouldn't do
I'd cross every line in the world for you

Cross my heart and hope to die
Baby, I wouldn't even break it
I'd cross every line in the world for you

If life's a race, I'm gonna go the distance
If at the end of it, there's a yellow ribbon
I'll just keep on lovin' you, there ain't no quittin'
Just 'cause I reached the finish line don't mean I'm finished
No, it don't mean I'm finished

I'd cross every line in the world for you
I'd cross every line in the world for you
Nowhere I wouldn't go, nothin' I wouldn't do
I'd cross every line in the world for you

Cross my heart and hope to die
Baby, I wouldn't even break it
I'd cross every line in the world for you

Hold My Beer Watch This

Small town dive, Friday night
Never runs out of those cold Bud Lights
Girl walks in, we all stare
Damn near knocks me off of my chair
Green eyes, kick it in another gear
Reeling in every single guy in here
Ain't gonna wait my turn
I'm gonna make the first move, first

Hold my beer and watch this
Just one shot, I won't miss
By the next song we'll be out there on the dance floor
There ain't no doubt in my mind
Something's going down here tonight
So, I'm gonna take me one more sip then it's
Hold my beer and watch this

Later that night a guy walks up
Hitting on her and he's halfway drunk
He says, "Let's dance"
She says, "No, thanks"
He spits off a four-letter name
Now he's got me mad
Nobody talks to a woman like that

Hold my beer and watch this
Just one shot, I won't miss
Just one hit and he'll be laid out on the dance floor
Ain't no doubt in my mind
Something's going down here tonight
So, I'm gonna take me one more sip, then it's
Hold my beer and watch this

Hold my beer and watch this
Just one shot, I won't miss
We got everybody out here on the dance floor
Ain't no doubt in my mind
Something's going down here tonight
So, I'm gonna take me one more sip then it's
Hold my beer and watch this
Yeah, hold my beer and watch this

Best Seat in the House

I only had fifty-four bucks
To buy tickets for the both of us
To that show we've been talking 'bout going to for a while
But I had to make you smile, so
I bought what I could afford
Just enough left over for a couple of Coors
And sure we're two rows from the back
But when you look at me like that

I'm feeling front row center
The band sounds killer
With you singing harmony
I wouldn't trade my place to be on that stage
If you weren't there next to me
'Cause those lights ain't got anything on you
I'm locked in on everything you do
Girl, listen from where I'm sitting, no doubt
I got the best seat in the house

Don't even know what song they're on
'Cause I've been over here staring at you so long
Dancing and singing with your hair tucked behind your ear
It's never been so clear
Section three hundred thirty-three is
The only place I wanna be

Yeah, I'm feeling front row center
The band sounds killer
With you singing harmony
I wouldn't trade my place to be on that stage
If you weren't there next to me
'Cause those lights ain't got anything on you
I'm locked in on everything you do
Girl, listen from where I'm sitting, no doubt
I got the best seat in the house
Yeah, I got the best seat in the house

I'm feeling front row center
The band sounds killer
With you singing harmony
I wouldn't trade my place to be on that stage
If you weren't there next to me
'Cause those lights ain't got anything on you
I'm locked in on everything you do
Girl, listen from where I'm sitting, no doubt
I got the best seat in the house (front row center, band sounds killer)
I got the best seat in the house (with you singing harmony)
(I wouldn't trade my place to be on that stage)
(If you weren't there next to me)

Tonight We're Dancing

I don't wanna hit the same spot
The same restaurant
We've been to a million times before
Wanna do something different
Remember when we met
And I pulled you out onto a hardwood floor?
I wanna make you feel that way again

So, tonight we're dancin'
Barefoot in the kitchen
Spinnin' along to a George Strait song, "You Look So Good In Love"
And when it's just us
All I wanna do is stare into your eyes all night long
Heart-to-heart, hand-in-hand
So, tonight we're dancin'

I just wanna turn down the lights
Lose track of time
Steal a few kisses, then steal a few more
Hell, I don't even know how long it's been

So, tonight we're dancin'
Barefoot in the kitchen
Spinnin' along to a George Strait song, "You Look So Good In Love"
And when it's just us
All I wanna do is stare into your eyes all night long
Heart-to-heart, hand-in-hand
So, tonight we're dancin'

Yeah, tonight we're dancin'
I wanna make you feel that way again

So, tonight we're dancin'
Barefoot in the kitchen
Spinnin' along to a George Strait song, "You Look So Good In Love"
And when it's just us
All I wanna do is stare into your eyes all night long
Heart-to-heart, hand-in-hand
Just turnin' in circles again and again
So, tonight we're dancin'

Girl, tonight we're dancin'
