Florida Georgia Line - Anything Like Me Album Lyrics

---

You're Country

If you're anything like me
You like jacked up trucks
Four-wheel drives
And loud straight pipes
And a big tool box
You like to ride around town
with the windows down
Singin' 'Song of the South'
If you're anything like me
you're country!

[Chorus]
Born and raised in the south
American & proud
where the lost get found,
Livin' off the land
And workin' with our hands
Till the sun goes down
Mamas home cookin'
Daddy's ass whippin'
And Heaven bound
If you're anything like me (Yeah)
you're country.

If you're anything like me,
you like to cut off your sleeves.
Show off your tattoo's and your battle wounds
that you got last week.
Brag to your boys
bout the buck you killed
and the girl in your backseat.
If you're anything like me,
you're country

[Chorus]
Born and raised in the south
American and proud
Where the lost gets found
Livin' off the land
And workin' with our hands
Till the sun goes down
Mamas home cookin'
Daddy's ass whippin'
And Heaven bound
If you're anything like me (Yeah)
You're country!

It's all about the moonshine
Midnight campfire
And singin' on Saturday night
We go to church
Get right
Baby get baptized
We all see the light

[Chorus]
Born and raised in the south
American & Proud
Where the lost get found
Livin' off of land, workin' with our hands
Till the sun goes down
Mamas home cookin'
Daddy's ass whippin'
and heaven bound
If you're anything like me (Yeah)
Born and raised in the south
American and proud
Where the lost get found
Livin' off of land
workin' with our hands
Till the sun goes down
Mamas home cookin'
Daddy's ass whippin'
and Heaven bound

If you're anything like me (Yeah)
If ya play a 6 string (Yeah)
If you got a skull ring (Yeah)
If you're anything like me (Yeah)
You're country!

Now That She's Gone

Well she always had a way of getting her way
We could never work out if I wasn't willing to change
It was always my hair, my clothes, my hat
She hated my job, my dog, my dad
Even the way that I said grace
I couldn't be me for so long
I feel free now that she's gone

Gonna grow my hair out and buy a Harley
Get that tattoo I always wanted
Take off working night shift for a couple weeks
Live my life with a simple mission "have more fun, do a lot more fishing"
Hang out with my boys cause it's been too long
I'm gonna do whatever I want now that she's gone

Now I can see why I'm not the man she wanted me to be
How could I believe all the lines she fed to me
It was always eat this and don't drink that
Who are you with, where the hell are you at
You better be home by 9:15
I couldn't be me for so long
But I feel free now that she's gone

Gonna grow my hair out and buy a Harley
Get that tattoo I always wanted
Take off working night shift for a couple weeks
Gonna live my life with a simple mission "have more fun, do a lot more fishing"
Hang out with my boys cause it's been too long
I'm gonna do whatever I want now that she's gone

No more late night chick flicks
Spending all of my money just to earn a kiss
Walk a mile to the mall for the perfect pair of jeans
Spending all the days kissing ass to her family
Yeah, yeah

I'm gonna grow my hair out and buy a Harley
Get that tattoo I've always wanted
Take off working night shift for a couple weeks
Live my life with a simple mission "have more fun, do a lot more fishing"
Hang out with my boys cause it's been too long
I'm gonna do whatever I want
I'm gonna do whatever I want, yeah
I'm gonna do whatever I want now that she's gone
Now that she's gone
Woo oh oh oh

Man I Am Today

Its a kiss from Katie on the swing set,
when I was in 3rd grade

Teacher makin me sit from recess,
when I would mis-behave

Its a long haul to see my grandma,
during the holidays

I can tell my momma loved Jesus,
by the way she said grace

CHORUS:
Its a spring break,
for me and my buddies that had to go our own way
Sunday, that I got saved
Its a class ring, that we never bought cause we thought we'd win state
But it didn't turn out that way
I cant complain, Its how it became
The man I am today

Its a fast lane headed down the interstate, a long way from home

Loaded down with a truck full of memories
The only thing Ive ever owned

Its a late night, bar fights comin in
getting pizza at 3 am

Fallin in and out of love with my girlfriend,
asking God to forgive my sins again
and again

Its the four years, everybody says your supposed to find yourself and they were the best

Theres the lonely tears that I cried that night when I saw my dad die
but i know hes in a better place

So I cant complain, its how I became
the man I am today

Cause the good Lord always seems to have a funny way
of makin' you look back on your life and say

Its the white dress, walking down the isle the day I said I do
Watchin our boy take his first breath

Its the true love, that made it through the years and started on a swing set, I know that I am truly blessed

So I cant complain, Wouldn't change a thing, its how I became
the man I am today. The man I am today

Its a kiss from Katie on the swing set, when I was in 3rd grade

Never Let Her Go

It was late July in that photograph
I could see her smile, hear her laugh
Feel our bare feet, in the sand
Holdin' on to each other's hand

Sunlight dancin' off her pretty face
Man, those were the days
Been washed away like our names in the sand with the waves

She had my heart
At seventeen
Now all I've got
Is her memory
Where she is now
I just don't know
How she got gone when i never let her go

Sometime when the wind is right
I can see us there on a summer night
With a blanket down, lookin' up at the starry sky
So in love that goodnight kiss never felt so sweet
Didn't know that'd be the last there'd be
But like the leaves, on an autumn tree
When the summer's gone, so was she

She had my heart
At seventeen
Now all I've got
Is her memory
Where she is now
I just don't know
How she got gone when i never let her go

I just know she's out there somewhere
Livin life with no regrets
I wish i could say the same for me
But i ain't got there

She had my heart
At seventeen
Man i fell so hard
I lost everything
Where she is now
I just don't know
How she got gone

She had my heart
At seventeen
Now all I've got
Is her memory
Where she is now
I just don't know
How she got gone when i never let her go
Never let her go

It was late July in that photograph
I could see her smile, hear her laugh

Black Tears

She puts on her work clothes, fishnet panty hose,
She’s got a nickname that everyone knows at the Gentlemen’s club
She clocks in at midnight, even though it never feels right,
Makes her money one dollar at a time.
Without the makeup, nobody knows her name,
She wears the pain

(Chorus)
Black tears, rollin down, from the eyes of an angel in a sinner’s town
She reveals, they all cheer, then she cry’s,
Black tears

Jealous of the innocent, sometimes she’s convinced,
The boss man is still a friend she needs.
She’s tried everything, cheap sex and cocaine,
Anything to hide the pain for a little while
Wrong kind of famous in her momma’s eyes, you can tell she knows it when she cries,

(Chorus)
Black tears, rolling down from the eyes of an angel in a sinner’s town,
White lights on the mirrors, just won’t hide,
Black tears

She tries and tries so hard to get away
But everybody’s watching,

(Chorus)
Black tears, rollin down, from the eyes of an angel in a sinner’s town,
If all the pain could just disappear she'd quit cryin, shed quit cryin,
Black tears

Backwoods Beauty Queen

Daddy thinks his brown eyed girl is an angel
she's got a wild side but covers it up so well..
she knows how to party, gets a little naughty
spent a couple nights in jail
and it really turns her on when i let her get behind the wheel..

we go deep down in the woods
make a little love on the truck hood
and she might be the one to turn a church boy into the devils son
and..i'm ready, she's ready..feelin like a dream but you know i'm really livin
this could be the death of me..she's a backwoods beauty queen!

she's gotta look that'll kill and legs that should be a crime
she's a six pack girl you can throw away a bottle of wine
she's got holes in her clothes cuz anything goes when she's ridin in my fourwheel drive
and this small town's dead but she's never felt more alive!


we go deep down in the woods
make a little love on the truck hood
and she might be the one to turn a church boy into the devils son
and..i'm ready, she's ready..feelin like a dream but you know i'm really livin
this could be the death of me..she's a backwoods beauty queen!

All of the fellas..they stay jealous
when i call her mine, oh mine...
this girl is one of a kind...aint afraid to have a hell of a time
I aint sayin she aint gotta good side
but i'm prayin i don't see it tonight yeaah!!

we go deep down in the woods
make a little love on the truck hood
and she might be the one to turn a church boy into the devils son
and..i'm ready, she's ready..feelin like a dream but you know i'm really livin
this could be the death of me...woah yeah this girl has got the best of me!...
this could be the death of me...she's a backwoods beauty queen!
backwoods beauty queen!
