*Intro*
Hey girl, go on now!
You know you've got everybody lookin'
Got a little boom in my big truck
Gonna open up the doors and turn it up
Gonna stomp my boots in the Georgia mud
Gonna watch you make me fall in love
Get up on the hood of my daddy's tractor
Up on the tool box, it don't matter
Down on the tailgate
Girl I can't wait
To watch you do your thing
*Bridge*
Shake it for the young bucks sittin' in the honky-tonks
For the rednecks rockin' 'til the break of dawn
The DJ spinnin' that country song
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Shake it for the birds, shake it for the bees
Shake it for the catfish swimmin' down deep in the creek
For the crickets and the critters and the squirrels
Shake it to the moon, shake it for me girl
*Chorus*
Aw, country girl, shake it for me
Girl, shake it for me
Girl, shake it for me
Country girl, shake it for me
Girl, shake it for me
Girl, shake it for me
Sombody's sweet little farmer's child
They got it in their blood to get a little wild
Pony-tail and a pretty smile
Rope me in from a country mile
So come on over here and get in my arms
Spin me around this big ole barn
Tangle me up like grandma's yarn
Yeah, yeah, yeah
*Bridge*
Shake it for the young bucks sittin' in the honky-tonks
For the rednecks rockin' 'til the break of dawn
For the DJ spinnin' that country song
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Shake it for the birds, shake it for the bees
Shake it for the catfish swimmin' down deep in the creek
For the crickets and the critters and the squirrels
Shake it to the moon, shake it for me girl
*Chorus*
Country girl, shake it for me
Girl, shake it for me
Girl, shake it for me
Country girl, shake it for me
Girl, shake it for me
Girl, shake it for me
Guitar!
Now dance, like a dandelion
In the wind on the hill underneath the pines
Yeah, move like the river flows
Feel the kick drum down deep in your toes
All I wanna do is get to holdin' you
And get to knowin' you
And get to showin' you
And get to lovin' you
'Fore the night is through
Baby, you know what to do
*Bridge*
Shake it for the young bucks sittin' in the honky-tonks
For the rednecks rockin' 'til the break of dawn
For the DJ spinnin' that country song
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Shake it for the birds, shake it for the bees
Shake it for the catfish swimmin' down deep in the creek
For the crickets and the critters and the squirrels
Shake it to the moon, shake it for me girl
*Chorus*
Aw, country girl, shake it for me
Girl, shake it for me
Girl, shake it for me
Country girl, shake it for me
Girl, shake it for me
Girl, shake it for me
Country girl, shake it for me
Girl, shake it for me
Girl, shake it for me
Country girl, shake it for me
Girl, shake it for me
Girl, shake it for me

Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye
All we do right is make love
And we both know now that ain't enough
(Chorus)
Ain't gonna beg you to stay
Ain't gonna ask you what's wrong
Ain't no reason running after something already gone
Take off your leaving dress
Let's do what we do best
I guess everybody's got their way of moving on
Girl rest your head, one more time in my bed
Love me like you loved me when you loved me and you didn't have to try
Let's lay down tonight
And kiss tomorrow goodbye
Baby who we are just didn't work
But maybe we can leave with something out of all this hurt
(Chorus x2)
Ain't gonna beg you to stay
Ain't gonna ask you what's wrong
Ain't no reason running after something already gone
Take off your leaving dress
Let's do what we do best
I guess everybody's got their way of moving on
Girl rest your head, one more time in my bed
Love me like you loved me when you loved me and you didn't have to try
Let's lay down tonight
And kiss tomorrow goodbye
Kiss tomorrow goodbye
And we both know now that ain't enough
(Chorus)
Ain't gonna beg you to stay
Ain't gonna ask you what's wrong
Ain't no reason running after something already gone
Take off your leaving dress
Let's do what we do best
I guess everybody's got their way of moving on
Girl rest your head, one more time in my bed
Love me like you loved me when you loved me and you didn't have to try
Let's lay down tonight
And kiss tomorrow goodbye
Baby who we are just didn't work
But maybe we can leave with something out of all this hurt
(Chorus x2)
Ain't gonna beg you to stay
Ain't gonna ask you what's wrong
Ain't no reason running after something already gone
Take off your leaving dress
Let's do what we do best
I guess everybody's got their way of moving on
Girl rest your head, one more time in my bed
Love me like you loved me when you loved me and you didn't have to try
Let's lay down tonight
And kiss tomorrow goodbye
Kiss tomorrow goodbye

Drunk On You
Cottonwood fallin' like snow in July
Sunset, riverside, four wheel drives
And a tail light circle
Roll down the windows turn it on up
Pour a little Crown in a Dixie cup
Get the party, started
Girl, you make my speakers go boom boom
Dancin' on the tailgate in the full moon
That kinda thing makes a man go mm mm
You're lookin' so good in what's left of those blue jeans
Drip of honey on the money maker gotta be
The best buzz I'm ever gonna find
Hey, I'm a little drunk on you
And high on summertime
If you ain't a ten you're a nine point nine
Tippin' n' spillin' that home made wine
On your tied up T-shirt
Every little kiss is drivin' me wild
Throwin' little cherry bombs into my fire
Good God all mighty
Girl, you make my speakers go boom boom
Dancin' on the tailgate in the full moon
That kinda thing makes a man go mm mm
You're lookin' so good in what's left of those blue jeans
Drip of honey on the money maker gotta be
The best buzz I'm ever gonna find
Hey, I'm a little drunk on you
And high on summertime
Let's slip on out where it's a little bit darker
And when it gets a little bit hotter
We'll take it off on out in the water
Girl, you make my speakers go boom boom
Dancin' on the tailgate in the full moon
That kinda thing makes a man go mm mm
You're lookin' so good in what's left of those blue jeans
Drip of honey on the money maker gotta be
The best buzz I'm ever gonna find
Hey, I'm a little drunk on you
And high on summertime
Yeah, I'm a little drunk on you
Sunset, riverside, four wheel drives
And a tail light circle
Roll down the windows turn it on up

Too Damn Young
We met down at the floatin' dock
She snuck out, scared she might get caught
We were nervous
But it was worth it
There was no such thing as consequence
With her in my arms, it finally made sense
In that moonlight
I saw her tanlines
(Chorus)
Every time my feet are dangling in the water
I can't help but think about her lying there
With her wet hair
Didn't know what we were doing but we didn't care
That old wooden dock was warm on our backs
A t-shirt for a pillow and just like that
She kissed me like she meant forever
We were too damn young to know any better
The fog rolled in, she said I better go
She took my t-shirt and wore it home
A memory, a souvenir
She could keep
So I stayed and watched the sun rise
Like it was waking up my life
To what love was
I can still see us
(Chorus x2)
Every time my feet are dangling in the water
I can't help but think about her lying there
With her wet hair
Didn't know what we were doing but we didn't care
That old wooden dock was warm on our backs
A t-shirt for a pillow and just like that
She kissed me like she meant forever
We were too damn young to know any better
She snuck out, scared she might get caught
We were nervous
But it was worth it
There was no such thing as consequence
With her in my arms, it finally made sense
In that moonlight
I saw her tanlines
(Chorus)
Every time my feet are dangling in the water
I can't help but think about her lying there
With her wet hair
Didn't know what we were doing but we didn't care
That old wooden dock was warm on our backs
A t-shirt for a pillow and just like that
She kissed me like she meant forever
We were too damn young to know any better
The fog rolled in, she said I better go
She took my t-shirt and wore it home
A memory, a souvenir

So I stayed and watched the sun rise
Like it was waking up my life

Every time my feet are dangling in the water

I Dont Want This Night to End
Girl, I know I don't know you.
But your pretty little eyes so blue,
are pulling me in like the moon on your skin.
I'm so glad you trusted me, to side up on this dusty seat.
And let your hair down, and get outta town.
Got the stars comin' out,
Over my hood.
And all I know now.
Is it's going good.
You got your hands up,
You're rocking in my truck.
You got the radio on,
You're singing every song.
I'm set on cruise control.
I'm slowing loosing hold of everything I got.
You're looking so damn hot.
And I don't know what road we're on,
Or where we've been from starrin' at you.
Girl, all I know is I don't want this night to end.
Gonna cuss the morning,
When it comes.
Cause I know that the rising sun,
Ain't no good for me.
Cause you'll have to leave.
Gonna make the most of every mile.
Do anything to make your smile,
Land on my lips.
And get drunk on your kiss.
The clock on the dash,
Says 3:35.
There's plenty of gas,
And the night's still alive.
You got your hands up,
You're rocking in my truck.
You got the radio on,
You're singing every song.
I'm set on cruise control.
I'm slowing loosing hold of everything I got.
You're looking so damn hot.

You Dont Know Jack
He asked me for a dollar
I said go get a job
And I turned up my collar
and started walking off
He said I don't blame you
I know what you think
I just spend your money
to buy another drink
But you don't know Jack
Double shot
80 proof
On the rocks
until you've lost it all
And you can't go back
To your life
And your kids
And your ex-wife
With just a telephone call
If you think it's just a bottle
In an old brown paper sack
You don't know Jack
And he showed me a picture
Of two little girls
wearing Easter dresses
Hair done up in curls
He said God bless their mama
She said I couldn't stay
Buddy if you were wondering
how could I throw it all away?
But you don't know Jack
Double shot
80 proof
On the rocks
until you've lost it all
And you can't go back
To your life
And your kids
And your ex-wife
With just a telephone call
If you think it's just a bottle
In an old brown paper sack
You don't know Jack
If you've never felt a fire
Running through your veins
If you've never seen the devil
Face to face
You don't know Jack
Double shot
80 proof
On the rocks
until you've lost it all
So brother just be glad
And tonight
Hold your kids
kiss your wife
And when you talk to God
Count up all your blessings
And thank the Good Lord that,
You don't know Jack
You don't know Jack
I said go get a job
And I turned up my collar
and started walking off
He said I don't blame you
I know what you think
I just spend your money

But you don't know Jack

Harvest Time
(Luke Bryan, Rodney Clawson)
There's peanut dust and corn husks driftin' through the air tonight
The marchin' band's warmin' up under the football lights
There's tractor-trailers backed up down by the elevator
Train track grain car will roll in later
Get filled up and head on out in the world
(Chorus)
It's harvest time in this little town
Time to bring it on in, pay the loans down
Fill our disel tank up, make another round
There's a big red moon comin' up in the sky
Combine's cuttin' in a staggered line
The only time of year we miss the church bells chime
It's harvest time
There's a thermos and a water jug rollin' around in the cab
A set of socket wrenches wrapped up in a greasy red rag
When Bobby's mother pulls in the field bringing us supper
We grab a bite and make sure to hug her
Saddle back up and let the big wheels roll
(Chorus)
At a quarter 'til 2 I kick off my boots in the laundry room
We'll start it all over tomorrow at noon
'Til it's all done until we're all done
(Chorus)
There's peanut dust and corn husks driftin' through the air tonight
The marchin' band's warmin' up under the football lights

I Know Youre Gonna Be There
I'm gonna put on my new shirt
Shine up these old boots
Take a deep breath
Try to keep my cool
I know you're gonna be there
I'm gonna have a couple drinks, just to knock off the edge
Not too much, don't wanna make a fool of myself
I know you're gonna be there, I know you're gonna be there
And I'm gonna bring somebody I barely even know
And when you turn my way, I'm gonna pull her in close
And the crazy thing about it is I ain't into her at all
I just wanna see if you still care
I know you're gonna be there
You love the band that's playing, you wouldn't miss them for the world
All our friends are coming out and if I know one thing, girl,
I know you're gonna be there
Gonna walk right by that table where you always like to sit
And when I run into you, it's gonna be an accident
I know you're gonna be there
I'm gonna act like it ain't nothing, but another Friday night
And you're just some old friend and I'm doing just fine
Like I'm only going out to shake off another week
Maybe see the boys and catch a buzz somewhere
But I know you're gonna be there
And I'm gonna bring somebody I barely even know
And when you turn my way, I'm gonna pull her in real close
And the crazy thing about it is I ain't into her at all
I just wanna see if you still care
I know you're gonna be there, I know you're gonna be there
I'm gonna put on my new shirt
Shine up these old boots
Truth is when I see yah, I don't know what I'll do
Shine up these old boots
Take a deep breath
Try to keep my cool
I know you're gonna be there
I'm gonna have a couple drinks, just to knock off the edge
Not too much, don't wanna make a fool of myself
I know you're gonna be there, I know you're gonna be there

Muckalee Creek Water
It flows underneath the 32 bridge,
And cuts through the heart of South Georgia
Big copperheads and mean wild pigs,
And gators in the weeds waitin' for ya
I leave my phone in the truck,
I leave my truck at the road
My four-wheeler gets me where I wanna go
I leave the world behind,
I pull my hat down low,
Get back to my roots, by a full moon glow
I got an old Jon boat that I stowed down there
On them hot summer nights when I get a-wild here
I got a moonshine stash in a cypress stomp
And a catfish line going, bom bom
An old tractor tire where I sit by the fire
And drink to a sweet swamp song
So if you're looking for me, don't even bother
When I dip my feet in that Muckalee Creek water
Daddy brought me down here when I was a kid
Taught me how to bait a crawfish basket
From the time I was old enough to walk
He had me running down squirrels and rabbits
I feel right at home in this neck of the woods
If this was all I had, I'd be living good
So let the stock market do what it's gonna do
Let the dollar go down and gas soar through the roof
I got an old Jon boat that I stowed down there
On them hot summer nights when I get a-wild here
I got a moonshine stash in a cypress stomp
And a catfish line going, bom bom
An old tractor tire where I sit by the fire
And drink to a sweet swamp song
So if you're looking for me, don't even bother
When I dip my feet in that Muckalee Creek water
I'm free, and I'm me
Being everything that I wanna be
Nobody chucking with me,
No sign of the city lights
Hell with the city lights!
Well I got an old Jon boat that I stowed down there
On them hot summer nights when I get a-wild here
I got a moonshine stash in a cypress stomp
And a catfish line going, bom bom bom
An old tractor tire where I sit by the fire
And drink to a sweet swamp song
So if you're looking for me, don't even holler
When I get my feet in that Muckalee Creek water
That Muckalee Creek water
And cuts through the heart of South Georgia
Big copperheads and mean wild pigs,
And gators in the weeds waitin' for ya
I leave my phone in the truck,

Tailgate Blues
[ Featuring Ashton Shepherd ]
I catch my buzz in the black of night,
Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows.
If I loose my cool in the open and it shows,
that I'm down and I ain't alright.
I search my soul where there is no moon.
The trees all cross and are covered in moss.
If the crickets wanna know, then I'll tell 'em what I lost.
Oh, I've got the tailgate blues.
I ain't sure where it all began.
Somewhere out here, I know.
This bridge was a little more crowded then,
I was playing a tailgate show.
Now, I'm just sitting here alone.
To catch my buzz in the black of night,
Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows.
If I loose my cool in the open and it shows,
that I'm down and I ain't alright.
I search my soul where there is no moon.
The trees all cross and are covered in moss.
If the crickets wanna know, then I'll tell 'em what I lost.
Oh, I've got the tailgate blues.
Damn that AM radio, for playing more than a song.
My heart won't beat if the strings are broke.
The melody's hittin' me wrong.
Right here where she belongs.
I catch my buzz in the black of night,
Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows.
If I loose my cool in the open and it shows,
that I'm down and I ain't alright.
I search my soul where there is no moon.
The trees all cross and are covered in moss.
If the crickets wanna know, then I'll tell 'em what I lost.
Oh, I've got the tailgate blues.
The crickets heard my story.
And I listened to them sing.
Yes, I closed the tailgate up.
Ain't no telling what tomorrow might bring,
maybe me and a dixie cup.
That won't be enough.
Yes, I catch my buzz in the black of night,
Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows.
If I loose my cool in the open and it shows,
that I'm down and I ain't alright.
I search my soul where there is no moon.
The trees all cross and are covered in moss.
If the crickets wanna know, then I'll tell 'em what I lost.
Oh, I've got the tailgate blues.
I catch my buzz in the black of night,
Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows.
If I loose my cool in the open and it shows,
that I'm down and I ain't alright.

Been There Done That
Girl, you and me ain't talking much.
I just slam the door and leave in my truck.
There ain't nothing left for us.
I think enough's enough.
I look down, see your name there on my phone then I hit ignore and just drive on.
We've been living like this too long.
And there ain't no reason to turn around.
Baby, you can have it all.
I ain't, I ain't coming back.
I've already been there, done that.
And I'm done with you messing with my mind.
The last times, the last time, baby.
I can only change who I am so much, and all I can give is all my love.
And my love ain't never been enough.
So I ain't coming back.
I've been there, done that.
Street by street and town after little town.
Feels like that I'm on the right road now.
I bet you're probably wondering how, I could just walk out.
I put you high up as I could.
And I know I've done everything I should, to try to make a bad thing good.
I guess it just took too long for me to see, that we ain't meant to be.
I ain't, I ain't coming back.
I've already been there, done that.
And I'm done with you messing with my mind.
The last times the last time, baby.
I can only change who I am so much, and all I can give is all my love.
And my love ain't never been enough.
So I ain't coming back.
I've been there, done that.
I'll wake up and I'll start to second-guess myself.
And I'll crave your touch oh but I know too well.
That I ain't, I ain't coming back.
I've already been there, done that.
And I'm done with you messing with my mind.
The last times, the last time, baby.
I can only change who I am so much, and all I can give is all my love.
And my love ain't never been enough.
So, I ain't coming back.
No, I ain't coming back.
I've been there, done that.
Baby I've been there done that
I just slam the door and leave in my truck.
There ain't nothing left for us.
I think enough's enough.
I look down, see your name there on my phone then I hit ignore and just drive on.
We've been living like this too long.

Faded Away
I don't remember much about that time,
Just the smell of the air and your hand in mine.
Riding the strip, sittin' on my lap
In the back of the truck with the only friends I had.
It was spring break, we were out late,
And I though goodness for heavens sake.
When I saw you...
And then I kissed you...
On a balcony over the sun
In a chair by the rail, high above everyone
We made love as the waves rolled in
And we owned that town for one weekend.
Like the tan on my skin, our names in the sand
Like the sound of the boat
Starting up, heading out of the bay
Girl you... faded away.
I still taste the shots on your lips that night,
And the smoke from the club still burns my eyes
Feel of your body takin' off your dress,
Waking up that morning in a tangled mess.
So if I'da known, I'da held on...
A little bit longer and stronger with nothing to lose,
Cause I still see you...
On a balcony over the sun
In a chair by the rail, high above everyone
We made love as the waves rolled in
And we owned that town for one weekend.
Like the tan on my skin, our names in the sand
Like the sound of the boat
Starting up, heading out of the bay
Girl you... faded away.
On a balcony over the sun
In a chair by the rail, high above everyone
I watched you drive through the gate
Without saying the words I needed to say.
Like the tan on my skin, our names in the sand
Like the tears on your face
And the sun going down that day
Girl you... faded away.
You faded away.
Just the smell of the air and your hand in mine.
Riding the strip, sittin' on my lap
In the back of the truck with the only friends I had.
It was spring break, we were out late,
And I though goodness for heavens sake.
When I saw you...
And then I kissed you...
On a balcony over the sun
In a chair by the rail, high above everyone
We made love as the waves rolled in
And we owned that town for one weekend.
Like the tan on my skin, our names in the sand
Like the sound of the boat
Starting up, heading out of the bay
Girl you... faded away.
I still taste the shots on your lips that night,
And the smoke from the club still burns my eyes
Feel of your body takin' off your dress,
Waking up that morning in a tangled mess.
So if I'da known, I'da held on...
A little bit longer and stronger with nothing to lose,
Cause I still see you...
On a balcony over the sun
In a chair by the rail, high above everyone
We made love as the waves rolled in
And we owned that town for one weekend.
Like the tan on my skin, our names in the sand
Like the sound of the boat
Starting up, heading out of the bay
Girl you... faded away.
On a balcony over the sun
In a chair by the rail, high above everyone
I watched you drive through the gate
Without saying the words I needed to say.
Like the tan on my skin, our names in the sand
Like the tears on your face
And the sun going down that day
Girl you... faded away.
You faded away.

I Knew You That Way
The secret way long shadows bleed into the night.
The desperate way leaves in the fall hold colors tight.
The way that thunder knows the taste of summer rain.
I knew you that way.
The way cool mountain waters dance down to the sea.
Bound by something strong, but still so wild and free.
It gives into the passion of the path it takes.
I knew you that way.
I held you closer than I had a right to hold.
But the only thing that time can't take away
Is I knew you that way.
The way that skin on skin can start a crazy fire
That no one sees but burns all night long with desire.
The quiet ease that makes a lover wanna stay.
I knew you that way.
I held you closer than I had a right to hold.
But the only thing that time can't take away
Is I knew you that way.
The holy way that love knows it should never end.
The sacred way that stars guide sailors home again.
Like teardrops know the words to Amazing Grace.
I knew you that way.
I knew you that way.
I knew you that way.
The desperate way leaves in the fall hold colors tight.
The way that thunder knows the taste of summer rain.
I knew you that way.
The way cool mountain waters dance down to the sea.
Bound by something strong, but still so wild and free.
It gives into the passion of the path it takes.
I knew you that way.
I held you closer than I had a right to hold.
But the only thing that time can't take away
Is I knew you that way.
The way that skin on skin can start a crazy fire
That no one sees but burns all night long with desire.
The quiet ease that makes a lover wanna stay.
I knew you that way.
I held you closer than I had a right to hold.
But the only thing that time can't take away
Is I knew you that way.
The holy way that love knows it should never end.
The sacred way that stars guide sailors home again.
Like teardrops know the words to Amazing Grace.
I knew you that way.
I knew you that way.
I knew you that way.
