Old Dominion - Odies But Goodies Album Lyrics

I've been so many miles
I've done forgot how long I've been gone
I've worn a hole right through my soul in both these shoes I've got on
I've ran the streets, I've shot the breeze
I've seen the world, but found out
My ragged heart's still on a string that's tied to you

And I'm on my way (hey)
I'm almost there
I look like hell, baby, but I don't care
Pick out your best dress, leave it on the floor
I'm coming in hot, baby
Can't wait no more

Yeah, so baby, leave the light on and let your hair down
I'm your midnight rider, it won't be long now
Been driving all night
So Katy, bar the door
Gonna hold you tight, so hold the phone
Gonna kiss you like I'm coming home from war

(Hey)

You kept a candle in the window
Waiting, burning for me
I'm turning home
I'll turn you on as soon as I turn the key
Your gravity is pulling me
You're all I need

I'm on my way (hey)
I'm almost there
I look like hell, baby (hey), but I don't care
Yeah, this old highway is through with me
Yeah, there's a million winding roads
But just one place I wanna be

So baby, leave the light on and let your hair down
I'm your midnight rider, it won't be long now
Been driving all night
So Katy, bar the door
Gonna hold you tight, so hold the phone
Gonna kiss you like I'm coming home from war

I'm on my way
Hey, hey
I'm on my way

So baby, leave the light on and let your hair down
I'm your midnight rider, it won't be long now
Been driving all night
So Katy, bar the door
Gonna hold you tight, so hold the phone
Gonna kiss you like I'm coming home from war (hey)

Just like I'm coming home from war
I'm on my way
I'm on my way

I spent a lifetime lookin' for you
Single bars and good time lovers were never true
I'm playin' a fools game and hoping to win
Telling those sweet lies and losing again

I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places
Lookin' for love in too many faces
Searching their eyes and lookin' for traces
Of what I'm dreaming of
Hoping to find a friend and a lover
I'll bless the day I discover
Another heart lookin' for love

I was alone then with no love in sight
I did everything I could to get me through the night
I don't know where it started or where it might end
I turned to a stranger just like a friend

I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places
Lookin' for love in too many faces
Searching their eyes and lookin' for traces
Of what I'm dreaming of
Hoping to find a friend and a lover
I'll bless the day I discover
Another heart lookin' for love

You came knockin' at my heart's door
You're everything I've been lookin' for

No more looking for love in all the wrong places
Looking for love in too many faces
Searching their eyes and lookin' for traces
Of what I'm dreaming of
Now that I've found a friend and a lover
I bless the day I discovered you, oh you
Looking for love

I discovered you, oh you
Looking for love

Right now we both know
We're Marina del Rey,
Plane's gonna fly away
And you'll be on it
And by this time tomorrow
I'll be singing yesterday
The sunshine's gonna fade
And we can't stop it
So before we turn in, I can't make you love me

Let's be Brown Eyed Girl, Sweet Caroline,
Free Fallin', Small Town Saturday Night.
Before we lose that Loving Feeling
Let's go Dancing on the Ceiling
Keep on living that Teenage Dream,
Paradise City where the grass is green
Pretty soon I'll be so lonesome I could cry,
But that's a song for another time

Well just for one more day
What do you say
Baby be my Pretty Woman
Because we know Sunday morning's coming down
And let's take a drive you and I down some old country road
Talk about growing old in one of those pink houses
Yeah we might be a Candle in the Wind
But let's pretend we're

Brown Eyed Girl, Sweet Caroline,
Free Fallin', Small Town Saturday Night.
Before we lose that Loving Feeling
Let's go Dancing on the Ceiling
Keep on living that Teenage Dream,
Paradise City where the grass is green
Pretty soon you'll be always on my mind,
But that's a song for another time

So before we're singing I will always love you

Let's sing Brown Eyed Girl, Sweet Caroline,
Free Fallin', Small Town Saturday Night.
Before we lose that Loving Feeling
Let's go Dancing on the Ceiling
Keep on living that Teenage Dream,
Paradise City where the grass is green
Pretty soon I'll be so lonesome I could cry,
But that's a song for another time

Yeah, that's a song for another time
(Brown Eyed Girl, Sweet Caroline)
Hey that's a song for another time
(Free Fallin', Small Time Saturday Night)
That's a song for another time

She was diggin' up her sundress, showing off her tatty
She said, "I like your ride, maybe you could be my caddy
What you say you pick us up a six-pack of Natty"
Aww nice

She had a sweet little southern twang
Said, "We don't have to talk about forever things
For tonight maybe we could just hang like a pair of dice"

Said, whatever girl, you know I'm down
I was thinkin' we could crash this town

Like a beer can in a truck bed
On a slow ride in the sunset
Bouncin' down a small town street
Let's pop the top right off this thing
I need a cold drink cause you're a hot mess
Let the night do what it does best
Shake me up and baby turn me loose
I just wanna roll around with you
Like a beer can in a truck bed

I said, girl you got your shades on, looking like you're famous
We could turn this little one horse into Vegas
Holdin' you is like I'm holdin' all the aces
I can't lose

She said, "Come on, boy, pour it on"
She didn't know that I was already gone

Like a beer can in a truck bed
On a slow ride in the sunset
Bouncin' down a small town street
Let's pop the top right off this thing
I need a cold drink cause you're a hot mess
Let the night do what it does best
Shake me up and baby turn me loose
I just wanna roll around with you
Like a beer can in a truck bed

Said, whatever girl, you know I'm down
I was thinkin' we could crash this town

Like a beer can in a truck bed
On a slow ride in the sunset
Bouncin' down a small town street
Let's pop the top right off this thing
I need a cold drink cause you're a hot mess
Let the night do what it does best
Shake me up and baby turn me loose
I just wanna roll around with you
Like a beer can in a truck bed

I just wanna roll around with you
Like a beer can in a truck bed

I just wanna roll around with you
Hey babe, I just wanna get down with you
Hey babe, I just wanna roll around with you
Hey babe, I just wanna get down with you
Hey babe, I just wanna roll around with you
Like a beer can in a truck bed

I know it's a drag, I know it's a grind
I know that a dollar ain't worth a dime
Just trying to keep up with the Joneses at the end of the block
I know you get tired, I know you get down
I know you get sick of this soul sucking town
But let's make a little lemonade, if lemons is all we got

'Cause I'm stuck on you, you're stuck on me
I never gotta wonder where my honey be
I ain't savin' all my sugar for a Saturday night
Seven days a week I got an appetite
The sun sets like a tangerine
Let's find a road we've never seen
Don't waste another mile or a minute not kissin' me
Life is short, make it sweet

Open sky, glimpse of heaven, take the top off the CJ-7
Let that surfside Santa Ana wind mess up your hair
And let that windshield frame the ocean
Radio keep coast-to-coastin'
If we don't get where we're going, baby I don't care
I'm already there

'Cause I'm stuck on you, you're stuck on me
I never gotta wonder where my honey be
I ain't savin' all my sugar for a Saturday night
Seven days a week I got an appetite
The sun sets like a tangerine
Let's find a road we've never seen
Don't waste another mile or a minute not kissin' me
Life is short, make it sweet

Days will be long but the years will fly right by
We'll never be as young as we are tonight
Baby, ain't that right? Yeah

'Cause I'm stuck on you, you're stuck on me
I never gotta wonder where my honey be
I ain't savin' all my sugar for a Saturday night
Seven days a week I got an appetite
The sun sets like a tangerine
Let's find a road we've never seen
Don't waste another mile or a minute not kissin' me
Life is short, make it sweet

Life is short, make it sweet
Oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah

I feel like a beat up back road
All full of potholes
Man, I'm on a hell of a ride
Doing my best and I can't get arrested
I can't get time on my side
Down on my luck and I'm down on my knees
And I'm down to my last dirty dime
Red sky morning, it keeps on pouring
Just like the tears in my eyes

I'm looking for smooth sailing
Feeling the breeze on my back
Get my blues fading
My weather and my wheels on track
Come hell or high water
The sun's gonna shine
Might not be tomorrow but I know I'm gonna find
Smooth sailing
Watch me sail away

The flowers are dying
My woman is crying herself to sleep every night
And people try to be nice and they give me advice
But they ain't got a dog in this fight
What's left of my faith is a drop in the tank
Here lately, I've been running on fumes
But there's a new sun rising on the horizon
Lord, I hope I get there soon

I'm looking for smooth sailing
Feeling the breeze on my back
Get my blues fading
My weather and my wheels on track
Come hell or high water
The sun's gonna shine
Might not be tomorrow but I know I'm gonna find
Smooth sailing
I'm looking for smooth sailing

I could use it, I could use it
I could use a little tide turn
I could use it before I lose it
I could use a little
I could use a little smooth sailing

I'm looking for smooth sailing
Feeling the breeze on my back
Get my blues fading
My weather and my wheels on track
Come hell or high water
The sun's gonna shine
Might not be tomorrow but I know I'm gonna find
Smooth sailing
I'm looking for smooth sailing
Watch me sail away

I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none
A renaissance man if there's ever been one
Got a pretty good handle on a lot of things
But I ain't figured out everything

'Cause all I know about girls is
The wide world ain't gonna spin without 'em
But it'll spin around 'em
All I know about girls is
You best get outta their way
Shut your damn mouth if she got something to say
It's like, yeah baby, no baby, whatever you want baby
Whatever it is is my fault
All I know about girls is
All I know about girls is
I don't know nothing at all

It's probably the reason Hemingway drank
For all the Lovesick Blues that were written by Hank
They all got stuck right where I am
Just like every other man

All I know about girls is
The wide world ain't gonna spin without 'em
But it'll spin around 'em
All I know about girls is
You best get outta their way, and
Shut your damn mouth if she got something to say
It's like, yeah baby, no baby, whatever you want baby
Whatever it is is my fault
All know about girls is
All I know about girls is
I don't know nothing at all

Mm
Yeah, I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none
But they sure make learning fun

All I know about girls is
The wide world ain't gonna spin without 'em
But it'll spin around 'em
All I know about girls is
You best get outta their way, and
Shut your damn mouth if she got something to say
You be like, yeah baby, no baby, whatever you want baby
Whatever it is is my fault
All I know about girls is
All I know about girls is
I don't know nothing at all

All I know about girls is
I don't know nothing at all

I don't know nothing at all

Stop got a little gasoline at the old B&P
Rollin round wound up in the middle of BFE
Spinnin these wheels down a road that we ain't ever seen

Who knows where we are

I get a little more lost every time I look in her eyes
It's hard to keep my hands on the wheel when she's looking so fine
I ride down any back road that she wants me to drive
With the

Seat laid back running
Fingers through my hair
Watching miles go by
Like she just don't care
Looking at me with
One thing on her mind

Woah

I guess I'm making all the right wrong turns tonight

Something about the sound of the gravel setting the mood
It's got me thinking I should park this thing underneath the moon
And wrap ourselves all around each other like a vine of Kudzu
With the

Seat laid back running
Fingers through my hair
Watching miles go by
Like she just don't care
Looking at me with
One thing on her mind

Woah

I guess I'm making all the right wrong turns tonight

Who knows where this is winding up
I don't mind if it's getting late
Lucky stars are lining up
She's loving every move I make

With the

Seat laid back running
Fingers through my hair
Watching miles go by
Like she just don't care
Looking at me with
One thing on her mind

Woah
I guess I'm making all the right wrong turns tonight
Woah
I guess I'm making all the right wrong turns tonight
Woah

Strictly outta curiosity,
What would happen if you got with me?
Kissin' you would hit the spot with me
Come on skip a couple rocks with me

Gimme any of your heart tonight
Ain't no reason that we need to be apart tonight
I got somethin' we could start tonight
Lookin' at you girl it's hard to fight

Those stars need to be wished on
Your skin needs to be kissed on
My eyes baby they're fixed on you in your snapback
T-shirt of your favorite rock band
Checkin' your make-up in my Ray Bans
Breakin' hearts like only you can in your snapback

Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh
In your snapback

Come on baby shoot a smile at me
Midnight selfie on a balcony
A little somethin' for my lock screen
You're burnin' a hole in my pocket
And we got the beat let's drop it

Those stars need to be wished on
Your skin needs to be kissed on
My eyes baby they're fixed on you in your snapback
Tattoos, cutoffs and converse
Singin' along to the song with the wrong words
Every move you make baby it works in your snapback

Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh
In your snapback

Those stars need to be wished on
Your skin needs to be kissed on
My eyes baby they're fixed on you in your snapback
T-shirt of your favorite rock band
Checkin' your make-up in my Ray Bans
Breakin' hearts like only you can in your snapback

Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh
In your snapback [x4]

We took a u-turn down on 42nd street
Almost hit another car
Spilled my coffee on my jeans and I said
"Aw, they're ruined now"
She said
"Naw, they're better now. It's just a matter of perspective."
She kissed my cheek
Its the little imperfections that make'em unique
I don't know how she does it, but she could

See the stars in the city
She sees a diamond when the world sees dust
Finds the glitter in the gritty
I know I ain't much but
That girl sees something nobody else can see
When she sees something in me
Yeah she could see the stars in the city

The more I hang with her the more I realize
Their can be beauty in the broken if you open up your mind
She says thinks like
"Ain't this rain nice" and
"Don't sad songs make you smile"
Well if she's crazy
I wanna be crazy too
She's the kinda girl that can break up a band
I wanna see whatever she can

See the stars in the city
She sees a diamond when the world sees dust
Finds the glitter in the gritty
I know I ain't much but
That girl sees something nobody else can see
When she sees something in me
Yeah she could see the stars in the city

That girl sees something nobody else can see
When she sees something in me
Yeah she could see the stars in the city
In the city

See the stars in the city
The stars in the city
She sees a diamond when the world sees dust
Finds the glitter in the gritty
So pretty she can break you heart
Yeah she sees the stars in the city

In the city
She sees the stars in the city
Yeah

Hey girl, what's up?
I know it's late, but I knew you'd pick it up
Naw, I ain't drunk
Okay, maybe I do have a little buzz but
That song came on and I just thought what harm could come from one little call?
I know you say you're taken, but I say girl you're taking too long

To tell him that it's over
Then bring it on over
Stringing him along any longer girl, it's just wasting precious time
Girl, you know it can't wait
Rip it off just like a band-aid
The way you look at me, girl, you can't pretend
I know you ain't in love with him, break up with him

I know, you don't wanna break his heart, but that ain't no good reason to be keeping us apart look,
just tell him, it's you, it ain't him,
and maybe you can lie to him and say you'll still be friends
Whatever you got to say to get through to him that you ain't in love
C'mon you can't deny that you and I kinda fit like a glove

So tell him that it's over
Then bring it on over
Stringing him along any longer girl, it's just wasting precious time
Girl, you know it can't wait
Rip it off just like a band-aid
It ain't my business to be all up in, but I know you ain't in love with him, break up with him
I know that you're so done with him, break up with him, break up with him

You would've hung up by now if you weren't thinking it too
No pressure, whatever, just do what you gotta do, but if I was you
I'd tell him that it's over
Then bring it on over
Stringing him along any longer girl, it's just wasting precious time
Girl, you know it can't wait
Just rip it off like a band-aid
Yeah, I know I said it, but I'll say it again, I know you ain't in love with him, break up with him
The way you look at me, girl, you can't pretend,
I know you ain't in love with him, break up with him, yeah
Just break up with him

We were walking down the boardwalk
Watching stars out on the ocean
We were drunk on margaritas
And that might have been my moment
But we stood there in silence
And watched the waves crash

Vacation with your family
After midnight, in the kitchen
I was hangin' with your dad
I could have asked him but I didn't
I don't know why, I guess I thought I had more time

If I hadn't been so young and stupid
Yeah, I let somebody beat me to it
Don't know what you got until you lose it
Guess I blew it, baby
I should have married you

That's just the way it goes
I should have seen it through
I should have let you know
I should have said I do
Back when I still had the chance, yeah
I should have married you

Maybe I thought I needed freedom
Maybe it's all about the timing
Maybe I wouldn't let my ego
Let somebody tie me down
Ah, but I can't blame you for not waitin' around

If I hadn't been so young and stupid (I wish I would have known, wish I would have known)
Yeah, I let somebody beat me to it (whoa, yeah)
Don't know what you got until you lose it
Guess I blew it, baby
I should have married you

That's just the way it goes (way it goes)
I should have seen it through (seen it through)
I should have let you know (let you know)
I should have said I do (said I do)
Back when I still had the chance, yeah
I should have married you

Whoa-oh, oh
Whoa-oh, oh

If I hadn't been so young and stupid (I wish I would have known, wish I would have known)
I let somebody beat me to it (whoa, yeah)
Don't know what you got until you lose it
Guess I blew it, baby
I should have married you

That's just the way it goes (way it goes)
I should have seen it through (seen it through)
I should have let you know (let you know)
I should have said I do (said I do)
Back when I still had the chance, yeah
I should have married you
Back when I still had the chance, yeah
I should have married you

Turn me on, turn me off
Then you turn me back on by the weekend
And you won't say the words that I want
But you flirt when you're drinkin'
I see those bubbles pop up
Like you're texting then they disappear
Let's cut through the shit then
Let's get to what we're doing here

Are we just a backseat
Tryna get it while we can?
Are we names in a tattoo
Or just a number on a hand?
Are we last-call kissing
Or will we be reminiscing with each other
For the next forty years?
Are we written in the stars, baby?
Or are we written in the sand?

Yeah, I want you to want me
To take you back home to my mama
Put my name on your lips
Call me yours and forget all this drama (forget it all)
Your makeup is next to my toothbrush
But you never put it away on the shelf
I'm asking you baby
'Cause I'm tired of asking myself (I'm tired of asking myself)

Are we just a backseat
Tryna get it while we can?
Are we names in a tattoo
Or just a number on a hand?
Are we last-call kissing
Are we dancing in the kitchen
Baby tell me what it is or what it isn't?
Are we written in the stars, baby?
Or are we written in the sand?

Are we just a backseat
Tryna get it while we can?
Are we names in a tattoo
Or just a number I should wash right off my hand? (Wash right off my)
Are we last-call kissing
Or will we be reminiscing with each other
For the next forty years?
Are we written in the stars, baby?
Or are we written in the sand?
Are we written in the stars, baby?
Or are we written in the sand?

I feel like a beat up back road
All full of potholes
Man, I'm on a hell of a ride
Doing my best and I can't get arrested

All your wishes dried up in your wishing well
Took a shot in the dark, now it's shot to hell
Chips are all falling in the wrong direction
The mirror's only showing all your imperfections

Maybe it's time for you to stop on a dime
And get to turning your frown around upside down
You know the storm always passes
Put on your rose colored glasses

How good is that song on the radio?
How good is that top-down summer night?
How good is that rock when it's on a roll
And there ain't no slowdown in sight?
Maybe it ain't all good but I swear it's alright
Take a big ol' swig of the simple life
How good is that? (How good is that, how good, how good is that?)
How good is that? (How good is that, how good, how good is that?)

I get it when you're in it, it can mess with your head
Your get up and go would rather stay in bed
Well, just remember that I love you and that ain't gonna change
I'm here to make your heart feel like you just got paid

How good is that song on the radio?
How good is that top-down summer night?
How good is that rock when it's on a roll
And there ain't no slowdown in sight?
Maybe it ain't all good but I swear it's alright
Take a big ol' swig of the simple life
How good is that? (How good is that, how good, how good is that?)
How good is that? (How good is that, how good, how good is that?)
How good is that? (How good is that, how good, how good is that?)
How good is that? (How good is that, how good, how good is that?)

Well, maybe it's time for you to stop on a dime
And get to turning your frown around upside down
You know the storm always passes
Put on your rose colored glasses, yeah

How good is that song on the radio?
How good is that top-down summer night?
How good is that rock when it's on a roll
And there ain't no slowdown in sight?
Maybe it ain't all good but I swear it's alright
Take a big ol' swig of the simple life
How good is that? (How good is that, how good, how good is that?)
How good is that? (How good is that, how good, how good is that?)
How good is that? (How good is that, how good, how good is that?)
How good is that? (How good is that, how good, how good is that?)

Well it was down some street we couldn't even pronounce
We were smoking a little from a half an ounce
Tequila was cheap but the flow we were feeling was real
Neither one of us looking for three little words
Unless those three words was "do not disturb"
Checkout was s'posed to be noon but we slept in 'til three

But she kept the hotel key
Slipped it in her purse
I guess it makes her think of me
And that night we left our hearts on our sleeves
And the clothes all over the floor
We both know we can't open that door no more
But she kept the hotel key

Well I could still see her on the bed sitting Indian style
With my t-shirt on and a half drunk smile
She talked about Austin and how she'd get back there someday
We had the curtains wide open and a song on my phone
We danced by the TV we never turned on
And wondered would anyone miss us if we ran away
But this isn't one of those stories that ends up that way, no

But she kept the hotel key
Slipped it in her purse
I guess it makes her think of me
And that night we left our hearts on our sleeves
And the clothes all over the floor
We both know we can't open that door no more
But she kept the hotel key
Yeah
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

We left the lights
We left the crowd
We left the world and locked it out
She left a picture in my head
She left a night I can't forget, but

She kept the hotel key
Slipped it in her purse
I guess it makes her think of me
And that night we left our hearts on our sleeves
And the clothes all over the floor
We both know we can't open that door no more
But she kept the hotel key

Yeah, she kept it

She kept the hotel key
Slipped it in her purse
I guess it makes her think of me
And that night we left our hearts on our sleeves
And the clothes all over the floor
We both know we can't open that door no more
But she kept the hotel key

Yeah, she kept it
She kept the hotel key
Oh
She kept the hotel key

(Yeah, one, two, one, two, I'm talkin' to you)

I remember it like it was yesterday
'Cause it was
And I was lettin' the sun and the rum
Just do what it does

I threw my phone in the water
Little push off the dock
She was packin' her bags
I was poppin' a top

Is she gone for the summer, gone for the night
Gone for the weekend or the rest of my life
Was she laughin', was she cryin' as she walked away
I can't say
I was on a boat that day

The river was rollin'
I was getting my float on
She was tellin' me so long
I was already so long gone

Yeah, aye

She could've been halfway to Houston but I didn't care
I was drunk as a skunk eatin' lunch with a cross-eyed bear
You've been there

Yeah, she was lookin' for something
Better than me
I was lookin' for nothin'
Just ridin' the breeze

Is she gone for the summer, gone for the night
Gone for the weekend or the rest of my life
Was she laughin', was she cryin' as she walked away
I can't say
I was on a boat that day

The river was rollin'
I was getting my float on
She was tellin' me so long
I was already so long gone

Yeah, aye, aye

I remember it like it was yesterday
'Cause it was
And I still got a buzz

Is she gone for the summer, gone for the night
Gone for the weekend or the rest of my life
Was she laughin', was she cryin' as she walked away
I can't say
I was on a boat that day

The river was rollin'
I was getting my float on
She was tellin' me so long
I was on a boat that day

The river was rollin'
I was getting my float on
She was tellin' me so long
I was on a boat that day

Ah, hey, hey, hey (ah, hey, hey, hey)
I was on a boat that day
Hey, hey, hey

Yeah the song comes on and I sing out loud
And there ain't no road that I can't go down
And I don't think twice when I pass your house all the time
Yeah the rain just rolls right off my back
And I don't get caught in the same old traps
I can hear your name and fall asleep just fine
Yeah the world don't revolve around you
Not everything's about you

Sunsets happening
My phone rings
I'm finally laughing
And doing things with my friends

Drink to this
And drink to that
Let's roll that 8 ball in the rack
It's what I have, not what I had

Yeah the song comes on and I sing out loud
And there ain't no road that I can't go down
And I don't think twice when I pass your house all the time
Yeah the rain just rolls right off my back
And I don't get caught in the same old traps
I can hear your name and fall asleep just fine
Yeah the world don't revolve around you
Not everything's about you anymore

She's got brown eyes
And her own place
Just last Friday
I picked her up and we went out

Drink to this
And drink to that
I turned her on to Fleetwood Mac
It's what I have, not what I had

Yeah the song comes on and I sing out loud
And there ain't no road that I can't go down
And I don't think twice when I pass your house all the time
Yeah the rain just rolls right off my back
And I don't get caught in the same old traps
I can hear your name and fall asleep just fine
Yeah the world don't revolve around you
Not everything's about you anymore

Yeah the song comes on and I sing out loud
And there ain't no road that I can't go down
And I don't think twice when I pass your house all the time
Yeah the rain just rolls right off my back
And I don't get caught in the same old traps
I can hear your name and fall asleep just fine
Yeah the city lights and the midnight stars
And too many drinks in a Downtown bar
Don't mess me up like they did before
Yeah the world don't revolve around you
Not everything's about you anymore

Anymore
Yeah, Yeah
Oh, Oh

I'm fast, I'm free
I turn my face against the wind
If someone tries to fence me in
I have to see
What's beyond the beaten path
Always on to greener grass

And that's what you love about me
And the reason you're without me

I race and I run, I keep chasin' the sun
When I'm done, you see nothin' but dust
I'm restless and rare with the wind in my hair
Going somewhere that I never was
You were holdin' me knowin' I couldn't be broken
And now you're just holdin' the reins
I'll love you forever, you should have known better
Some horses can never be tamed

I might not be
The painted sunset that you chose
But not too many get that close, yeah
It's so bittersweet
I finally found an open field
I couldn't stand just standing still

And that's what you love about me
And the reason you're without me

I race and I run, I keep chasin' the sun
When I'm done, you see nothin' but dust
I'm restless and rare with the wind in my hair
Going somewhere that I never was
You were holdin' me knowin' I couldn't be broken
And now you're just holdin' the reins
I'll love you forever, you should have known better
Some horses can never be tamed

And that's what you love about me
And the reason you're without me

I race and I run, I keep chasin' the sun
When I'm done, you see nothin' but dust
I'm restless and rare with the wind in my hair
Going somewhere that I never was
You were holdin' me knowin' I couldn't be broken
And now you're just holdin' the reins
I'll love you forever, you should have known better
Some horses can never be tamed

I'll love you forever, you should have known better
Some horses can never be tamed

(Hey, hey)
(Get up)
(Hey, hey)

I wonder if Jack and Diane ever made it
After the drums and the guitars all faded
Was the best they could do good enough
Or did the heartland just swallow 'em up?

How did my mom and my dad ever do it
If there were troubles then we never knew it?
I guess they had each other and that was enough

You know you can't keep the ground from shaking
No matter how hard you try
You can't keep the sunsets from fading
You gotta treat you life like
You're jumping off a rope swing, baby, 'cause the whole thing's
Really just a shot in the dark
You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart
You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart

What am I gonna tell my kids when they see
All of this bullshit that goes down on TV
When the whole world is down on its luck
I gotta make sure they keep their chin up

Cry when it hurts, laugh when it's funny
Chase after the dream, don't chase after the money
And know we got each other and that's what's up

'Cause you can't keep the ground from shaking
No matter how hard you try
You can't keep the sunsets from fading
You gotta treat you life like
You're jumping off a rope swing, baby, 'cause the whole thing's
Really just a shot in the dark
You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart
You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart, yeah

(Hey, hey)

You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart

'Cause you can't keep the ground from shaking
No matter how hard you try
You can't keep the sunsets from fading
You gotta treat you life like
You're jumping off a rope swing, baby, 'cause the whole thing's
Really just a shot in the dark
You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart
You gotta love, love, love, love (like there's no such thing)
You gotta love, love, love, love (as a broken heart)
You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart

If I could buy a house on Memory Lane
I'd put my money down and I'd sign my name
On that little corner lot where it don't ever rain
And we'd stay good as new like a fresh coat of paint

You'd be mine
In the shine of a front porch light
Yeah, I might as well live there, baby
That's where I spend most of my time

Thinkin' 'bout those sunsets that bled into jean jacket nights
Those tangled up mornings lost in paradise
Still drunk on the feeling when I close my eyes
You're pullin' me closer, your head on my shoulder
We'd never let go and we'd never be over

If I could buy a house on Memory Lane
I wouldn't have to wonder if you miss me the same
I'd be lovin' you as usual, tellin' you you're beautiful
Oh, I'd be happily delusional

Thinkin' 'bout those sunsets that bled into jean jacket nights
Those tangled up mornings lost in paradise
Still drunk on the feeling when I close my eyes
You're pullin' me closer, your head on my shoulder
We'd never let go and we'd never be over

Thinkin' 'bout those sunsets that bled into jean jacket nights
Those tangled up mornings lost in paradise
Still drunk on the feeling when I close my eyes
You're pullin' me closer, your head on my shoulder
We'd never let go and we'd never be over

If I could buy a house on Memory Lane
I'd put my money down and I'd sign my name
On that little corner lot where it don't ever rain
And baby, me and you, we'd never fade, never fade
We'd never fade
Never fade, never fade

Been flying solo for so long
Nobody's singing the harmony
Up there just me and my shadow
No bass, no guitar, no tambourine

And I found you like a melody
You were singing in the same key as me
We had 'em dancing in the streets

I don't wanna be a one man band
I don't wanna be a rolling stone, alone
Putting miles on a run-down van
Baby, we could take our own show on the road
I'll lay down the beat, you carry the tune
We'll get tattoos, and we'll trash hotel rooms
Baby, take my hand
I don't wanna be a one man band
No

I wanna run down your wild dreams
And I wanna chase every high with you
Count every rip in these old jeans
We'll never learn how to sing the blues

If I'm gonna be famous
Girl, I wanna be famous with you
We got our own little groove

I don't wanna be a one man band
I don't wanna be a rolling stone, alone
Putting miles on a run-down van
Baby, we can take our own show on the road
I'll lay down the beat, you carry the tune
We'll get tattoos, and we'll trash hotel rooms
Baby, take my hand
'Cause I don't wanna be a one man band

When the spotlight goes cold, and the curtains come down
The chairs are all stacked, and there's no one around
And nobody's paying, we'll still be playing

I don't wanna be a one man band
I don't wanna be a rolling stone, alone
Putting miles on a run-down van
Baby, we can take our own show on the road
I'll lay down the beat, you carry the tune
We'll get tattoos, and we'll trash hotel rooms
Baby, take my hand
'Cause I don't wanna be a one man band
I don't wanna be a one man band

Grass stained bare feet
Dove in my front seat
Windshield full of road to run
And a gas tank full of freedom

Red sky faded to black
A couple cans deep in a six pack
World disappearing around us
Temptation always found us

With beer on our breath in a parking lot
Kill the headlights so we wouldn't get caught
Radio glow on the dash
We were messin' around
We could hardly breathe
Breakin' new ground in my back seat
We had our foot on the gas
Goin' nowhere fast

One summer of sunsets
Was as far as we were gonna get
So caught up in how it feels
We didn't care if we were spinnin' wheels

With beer on our breath in a parking lot
Kill the headlights so we wouldn't get caught
Radio glow on the dash
We were messin' around
We could hardly breathe
Breakin' new ground in my back seat
We had our foot on the gas
Goin' nowhere fast

Yeaahee

With beer on our breath in a parking lot
Kill the headlights so we wouldn't get caught
Here and gone in a flash
Yeah
We were messin' around
We could hardly breathe
Breakin' new ground in my back seat
No way to know if it would last
But we had our foot on the gas
Goin' nowhere fast
Goin' nowhere fast

I can't get you off the tip of my tongue,
You're running through my head again
Like one of those summer sing-a-long songs,
I play you once and you're just stuck 'em in
I'm either talkin' about ya or thinkin' about ya
Or runnin' my mouth about bein' without ya to all my friends

Shut me up by showing up
With strawberry stuff on your lips you know I like so much
Just a little kiss will do the trick
Give me something else to do with my lips
Cause I go on and on when you're gone
You're the only one who can shut me up

I get sick of the sound of my own voice
When I get a couple drinks in me
I gotta admit the way you got me whipped
You know it's kinda embarrassing
I'm tired of the drama so hey little mama, I'm hopin' you wanna
So tell me you're gonna be on your way

Shut me up by showing up
With strawberry stuff on your lips you know I like so much
Just a little kiss will do the trick
Give me something else to do with my lips
Cause I go on and on when you're gone
You're the only one who can shut me up

I'm either talkin' about ya or thinkin' about ya
Or runnin' my mouth about bein' without ya to all my friends
So come on and

Shut me up by showing up
With strawberry stuff on your lips you know I like so much
Just a little kiss will do the trick
Give me something else to do with my lips
Yeah baby
Shut me up with your love
Just one little taste, baby watch what it does
Just a little kiss will do the trick
Give me something else to do with my lips
Cause I go on and on when you're gone
You're the only one who can shut me up

Yeah, baby shut me up
Oh yeah
Shut me up!

I'll take another cold beer from you, brother
Got a story I could tell ya
Could you drop a pink umbrella in my High Life?
And make it look like a Mai Tai
I'll paint you a palm tree picture
Couple fools in paradise

Swept up in the blue
We were living life in a movie
Just like Elvis and Priscilla, yeah, the both of us
Drinking pineapple rum out of a coconut
By the ocean, happy as a ukulele
Yeah, that rainbow we were under
Sometimes I wonder why we
Ever left Hawaii

Back on the mainland
Things ain't the same, man
Wish we could go back to island time
We had a plan to sell bamboo wind chimes
At a roadside souvenir stand
We had it all in the palm of our hands
But it slipped right through like sand in Waimea Bay
We shoulda stayed

Swept up in the blue
We were living life in a movie
Just like Elvis and Priscilla, yeah, the both of us
Drinking pineapple rum out of a coconut
By the ocean, happy as a ukulele
Yeah, that rainbow we were under
Sometimes I wonder why we
Ever left Hawaii

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Swept up in the blue
We were living life in a movie
Just like Elvis and Priscilla, yeah, the both of us
Drinking pineapple rum out of a coconut
By the ocean, happy as a ukulele
Yeah, that rainbow we were under
Sometimes I wonder why we
Ever left Hawaii, mmhm

Ever left Hawaii

Mm-hm
Uh-huh

There's streets I go down
There's corners I turn
There's records that spin me
And midnights I burn

Sidewalks that can lead me
In circles 'round the block
There's dive bars with good bands, but there's one thing they ain't got, so

If you're ever on the lonely side of town, little messed up
Saturday night
Nothing going on and you feel like

Gettin' up to something, girl, you know I'm always down
For a good time
Little small talk
You don't need no reason at all

To call an old familiar, more-than-a-friend
You can find me right where I've always been

If you're ever on the lonely side of town
If you're ever
If you're ever

I heard you broke up with who you broke up with me for
I won't bring it up, I swear, I'm over keeping score

I don't really care how it ended
It doesn't really matter anyway
Consider it an open invitation
Even if you threw your key away

If you're ever on the lonely side of town
A little messed up
Saturday night
Nothing going on and you feel like

Gettin' up to something, boy, you know I'm always down
For a good time
Little small talk
You don't need no reason at all

To call an old familiar, more-than-a-friend
You can find me right where I've always been

If you're ever on the lonely side of town (yeah, yeah)
That's where I hang around
That's where I hang around

Uh-huh

You don't have to be in misery (no you don't)
To need a little company (come on)

If you're ever on the lonely side of town, little messed up
Saturday night
Nothing going on and you feel like

Gettin' up to something, girl, you know I'm always down
For a good time
Little small talk
You don't need no reason at all

To call an old familiar, more-than-a-friend (you know what?)
You can find me right where I've always been

If you're ever on the lonely side of town (if you're ever)
If you're over on the lonely side (mm)
If you're ever on the lonely side of town
Yeah, you know I'm always down

If you're ever
If you're ever (come my way)
If you're ever on the lonely side
Come and stay

If you're ever
If you're ever on the lonely side (if you're ever on the lonely side)
Just look me up (if you're ever)
I'll be right there (if you're ever)
I'll be right there (if you're ever on the lonely side)

Yeah, I'm around (and you're)
A little messed up (if you're ever)
Saturday night
Nothing going on and you feel like (if you're ever)
Gettin' up to something, boy you know I'm always down for (if you're ever)
A good time (if you're ever)
A little small talk, mhmm (if you're ever on the lonely side)

You know the color of my coffee
Too many t-shirts in my closet that you bought me
At this point, I can't unlearn the things you've taught me
About myself

You pick the music when I'm driving
Your mama always takes my side when you fight me
And these days, my dog likes you more than he likes me
You can just tell

So what am I supposed to, unlisten to every song written?
Take you out of every melody?
You know my secrets, my demons, and I know your weaknesses
All of your doubts and your dreams

So we
Can't break up now
No, we
Can't break up now

I hate the thought of starting over
If you left, I know I'd never get closure
Can't imagine letting anyone get closer
Than you are to me, oh

Yeah, I'll battle this out all night 'till e fix it
If the ship's going down, I'm going down with it
Your friends are my friends
I start where you end
We've got too much history

So we
Can't break up now
No, we
Can't break up now

We've come too far and we're in too deep
We love too hard just to let it go
So we
Can't break up now, oh

So what am I supposed to, unlisten to every song written?
Take you out of every melody?

No, we
Can't break up now
No, we
Can't break up now
No, we
Can't break up now
No, we
Can't break up now

We've come too far and we're in too deep
We love too hard just to let it go
So we
Can't break up now

No, we
Can't break up now, oh
Can't break up now

I feel like a beat up back road
All full of potholes
Man, I'm on a hell of a ride
Doing my best and I can't get arrested
I can't get time on my side
Down on my luck and I'm down on my knees
And I'm down to my last dirty dime
Red sky morning, it keeps on pouring
Just like the tears in my eyes

I'm looking for smooth sailing
Feeling the breeze on my back
Get my blues fading
My weather and my wheels on track
Come hell or high water
The sun's gonna shine
Might not be tomorrow but I know I'm gonna find
Smooth sailing
Watch me sail away

The flowers are dying
My woman is crying herself to sleep every night
And people try to be nice and they give me advice
But they ain't got a dog in this fight
What's left of my faith is a drop in the tank
Here lately, I've been running on fumes
But there's a new sun rising on the horizon
Lord, I hope I get there soon

I'm looking for smooth sailing
Feeling the breeze on my back
Get my blues fading
My weather and my wheels on track
Come hell or high water
The sun's gonna shine
Might not be tomorrow but I know I'm gonna find
Smooth sailing
I'm looking for smooth sailing

I could use it, I could use it
I could use a little tide turn
I could use it before I lose it
I could use a little
I could use a little smooth sailing

I'm looking for smooth sailing
Feeling the breeze on my back
Get my blues fading
My weather and my wheels on track
Come hell or high water
The sun's gonna shine
Might not be tomorrow but I know I'm gonna find
Smooth sailing
I'm looking for smooth sailing
Watch me sail away

I took a little time, tequila and therapy
And threw it in a blender with ice
I was more messed up than I cared to be
Spent a whole lot of lonely nights

I was mad at myself, pissed at the world
It was hard to get up, but I put one foot
In front of the other, kept on keepin' on
Going through the motions until

There was no hard feelings
And no bad vibes
I can honestly say
I'm happy to see the happy back in your eyes
You found somebody
Who painted your grey skies blue
Do I wish it was me? Hell yeah
Am I all the way over the pain? Not yet
But the sun keeps coming up, baby
And I'm still breathing
And there's no hard feelings, mm

Well, I probably owe you an apology
And some money for a new screen door
Your dad's probably glad to be rid of me
But that ain't me anymore

Hey, you love who you love
And you lose who you thought was the one
And you think that you might go crazy
And never get out of the rut
You get drunk, you hold on and let go of the grudge, 'til

There's no hard feelings
And no bad vibes
I can honestly say
I'm happy to see the happy back in your eyes
You found somebody
Who painted your grey skies blue
But do I wish it was me? Hell yeah
Am I all the way over the pain? Not yet
But the sun keeps coming up, baby
And I'm still breathing
Hey, there's no hard feelings

I was mad at myself, pissed at the world
It was hard to get up, but I put one foot
In front of the other, kept on keeping' on
Going through the motions until

There was no hard feelings
And no bad vibes
I can honestly say
I'm happy to see a little happy back in your eyes
You found somebody
Who painted your grey skies blue, good for you
But do I wish it was me? Hell yeah
Am I all the way over the pain? Not yet
But the sun keeps coming up, baby
And I'm still breathing
And there's no hard feelings, mm
I got no hard feelings

The Sun going down on a little beach town out west
A wide open highway a window seat on a jet
The sound of a train pulling out of the station
A man like me should find inspiration in anything
But here I am in this hotel room

Still writing songs about
You and sun Santa Monica freeway (Fix)
You on my bed and a mini bar three day
Wind in your hair and my heart all a mess in the morning
I've gotten drunk on whiskey and women
Broke up in places that we've never been in
Spending all night and all day trying to say something new
But it's no use
I'm still writing songs about you

A pawn shop in Dallas cut me a deal on a six string
It doesn't know how you look how you laugh how you kiss me
Well I'm on the end of the bed and it's way past two
I'm stuck on a line cause I know what rhymes with you

You and sun Santa Monica freeway (Fix)
You on my bed and a mini bar three day
Haze in your hair and my heart all a mess in the morning
I've gotten drunk on whiskey and women
Broke up in places that we've never been in
Spending all night and all day trying to say something new
But it's no use
I'm still writing songs about you

If you ever wake up and wonder what I'm up to
Baby I'm right here

Still writing songs about
You and sun Santa Monica Freeway (Fix)
You on my bed and a mini bar three day
Haze in your hair and my heart all a mess in the morning
I've gotten drunk on whiskey and women
Broke up in places that we've never been in
Spending all night and all day trying to say something new
But it's no use
I'm still writing songs about you

Still writing songs about
Oh yeah
