Zach Top - Cold Beer & Country Music Album Lyrics

Well, the day I was born the doc couldn't believe
I came out cryin' Chattahoochee
Didn't take too long after that
For the hair on my head to grow long in the back
Now all the girls want me to pick 'em up
When they hear me rollin' by in my pickup truck 'cause it

Sounds like the radio
Back in '94, you know
Hook a speaker up to my soul
It sounds like the radio

Sounds like a damn good time
Soakin' up some neon light
Well, it's a little bit of fiddle
And whole lot of country gold
Yeah, my whole life
Sounds like the radio

Oh, people call me a walkin' talkin' jukebox
I keep the hits spinnin' non-stop
Somethin' bout a steel guitar moaning the blues
Makes me wanna throw back a case or two
They say honky-tonk heroes go to heaven, you know
Maybe that's why everybody wants to go 'cause it

Sounds like the radio
Back in '94, you know
Hook a speaker up to my soul
It sounds like the radio

Sounds like a damn good time
Soakin' up some neon light
Well, it's a little bit of fiddle
And whole lot of country gold
Yeah, my whole life
Sounds like the radio

Well, when I die, lay me down in the ground
Next to an old beer joint with a party crowd, where it

Sounds like the radio
Back in '94, you know
Hook a speaker up to my soul
It sounds like the radio

Sounds like a damn good time
Soakin' up some neon light
Well, it's a little bit of fiddle
And whole lot of country gold
Yeah, my whole life
Sounds like the radio
I said, my whole life
Sounds like the radio

Hey bartender I need me one of those long necks
Yeah man that's good about as good as it gets
Here's a twenty for the jukebox, crank it up please
Here's another fifty, run the tab for me
Nah that stool's not taken, girl you can sit right there
Ol' Joe will take care of you 'cause he cares
No I didn't come in here lookin' for no romance
Hell, I didn't even come here lookin' for one of those one night stands

I don't need to talk
I don't need no shrink
I don't need to dance
Or hear what you think
All I need to keep me from losing it
Is good cold beer and country music

Girl I hope I didn't come off too much like a big jerk
But I'm here to treat myself to a little bit of self work
If you'd sit down on that stool any other night
I'd be buying you drinks, feeding you limes
Working on a real good time

But tonight I don't need to talk
I don't need no shrink
I don't need to dance
Or hear what you think
All I need to keep me from losing it
Is good cold beer and country music

All I need to keep me from losing it
Is good cold beer and country music
All I need to keep me from losing it
Is good cold beer and country music
Good country music

No mam I aint from around here
But you're pretty smile makes me wish I was
No I aint got nowhere I gotta get to
I'll be glad to nurse this coffee till you close up

No mam I got no place to stay here
Is that right well that's mighty nice of you
Yea I like the way I think you're thinking
Before we go too far I ain't gonna hide the truth

I'd like to say I'll hang around but I've never been one to settle down
There's always some new dirt for these old boots
I'll hang my hat here a couple nights or you might go and change my mind
But one thing I won't do is lie to you
That's just what cowboys like me do

Mamma's cooking ain't got nothing on you
Aw and you sure make it feel like home round here
I was thinking I might go and see seattle
But you're right the rain is cold this time of year

I'd like to say I'll hang around but I've never been one to settle down
There's always some new dirt for these old boots
I'll hang my hat here a couple nights or you might go and change my mind
But one thing I won't do is lie to you
That's just what cowboys like me do

My hat's been hanging here a couple nights
Who knows you might change my mind
But one thing I won't do is lie to you
That's just what cowboys like me do
That's just what cowboys like me do

I might sound crazy now
But I'll say it anyhow
Cause I want you to hear my heart baby
I'll never win no prize
For pretty words and rhymes
But you'll feel what I'm feelin' baby
Thought I knew what beautiful was

There's the sun, there's the moon
There's million dollar skyline views
Then there's Rocky Mountain highs
Oceans rollin' wild and blue
There's the sun, there's the moon
Then there's you

Baby just think about
Could you imagine life without
Cll those things, all those beautiful things
Now you know what I'd feel like
With no you in my life
Like the stars with no sky to hold 'em
That world ain't one I want to live in girl

There's the sun, there's the moon
There's million dollar skyline views
There's Rocky Mountain highs
Oceans rollin' wild and blue
There's the sun, there's the moon
Then there's you

Thought I knew what beautiful was

There's the sun, there's the moon
There's million dollar skyline views
There's Rocky Mountain highs
Oceans rollin' wild and blue
There's the sun, there's the moon
Then there's you

Daddy said they ain't making no more of it
Said that's fine with me cause I'm tired of working on it
Soon as I can I'm outta here, I don't love it like you do
Son I know just how you feel, I used to feel the same way too

Till I learnt dirt turns to gold
You gotta be patient son it happens slow
It'll take some blood, sweat and tears
More than a few hard working years
I know it's hard to see that far down the road
Oh but dirt turns to gold

Will I save enough to move into that city
Where the lights shine bright at night and the girls are pretty
Aw but some nights I can't sleep a wink, all the sirens and the horns
And I miss crickets, whippoorwills and the peaceful sounds of home

I know dirt turns to gold
I washed it off but it stayed down in my soul
And there's this girl I met said she'd like to see
The place that means so much to me
She wants to feel that feeling that I know
Back where dirt turns to gold

So I took her back home for a long weekend
She'd never seen nothing like county road ten
I rolled all those windows down
And pointed out my old stomping grounds
And after supper at mom and dad's
Swinging in the swing, hand in hand
Watching the Sun sinking out of sight
She said I could get used to this light

Out where dirt turns to gold
Aw a piece of heaven down some country road
There's space out here for rust to breathe
Build a home and plant some seeds
Sit on the porch and watch our children grow
That's where dirt turns to gold

Yeah, dirt turns to gold

One that's a Friday night firecracker
That you wanna hold onto
One that's a Sunday mornin' go to churcher
That you wanna sit next to

That's the kinda woman I like
That's the kinda woman I like

One that drives like a bat out of hell
Always lookin' for somethin' to pass
One that knows how to just be herself
Ain't puttin' on no act

That's the kinda woman I like
Likes to love and does it right
Keeps me comin' back every night
That's the kinda woman I like
That's the kinda woman I like

One that'll fight like a wildcat
If you turn her redneck on
One that'll cry and take it all back
Be the first to admit she's wrong

That's the kinda woman I like
Likes to love and does it right
Keeps me comin' back every night
That's the kinda woman I like
That's the kinda woman I like
That's the kinda woman I like
Likes to love and does it right
Keeps me comin' back every night
That's the kinda woman I like
That's the kinda woman I like

You said yes when I asked if you were taken
Somethin in your voice said you wanted to say no
But when i held you close on a slow dance you were shaken
So if you decide to leave I need to know

[Chorus]
You won't be lonely for long
If he should ever do you wrong
Just let me know girl when he's gone
You won't be lonely for long

Thanks for the beer, and here let me give you my number
But if your buying I guess I can sit down and have one more
I don't know what kind of a blind spell you got me under
But you're making me say things that I've never said before

You won't be lonely for long
If he should ever do you wrong
Just let me know girl when he's gone
You won't be lonely for long

So goodbye girl I gotta go
Just remember if you decide to leave, let me know

You won't be lonely for long
If he should ever do you wrong
Just let me know girl when he's gone
You won't be lonely for long

My lucky star fell out of the sky
Right before my wishing well went dry
Seems every which way I go
There's a black cat crossing the road
Played the lottery with last month's rent
I'm still waiting on my shift to come in

Bad luck was always hanging around
A good roll was always letting me down
I had every reason in the world to give up
But you came along and now its gone
So long bad luck

My first love said she'd love me for life
Slipped out one night and never told me goodbye
My second love convinced me to love again
Then she left me for my best friend
My third and fourth went crazy as hell
I even bought a rabbit's foot but that didn't help

Bad luck was always hanging around
A good roll was always letting me down
I had every reason in the world to give up
But you came along and now its gone
So long bad luck

You're my lucky four-leaf clover
Horse shoe over my shoulder
Seven come eleven girl
I'm lucky I found you

Bad luck was always hanging around
A good roll was always letting me down
I had every reason in the world to give up
But you came along and now its gone
So long bad luck

So long bad luck
Oh, so long

He said, "I don't know your story
I just know you look lonely
Fancy that, I'm lonely too
We both got our reasons, no reason to share 'em
Let's just dance, hold me closer to you
Maybe just for tonight"

Tell me you love me
And tell me you need me
I know we both know it ain't true
And I'll whisper, "You're everything I've ever wanted"
I'll pretend if you'll pretend too
Oh, tell me you love me
And use me like I'm usin' you

She said, "Don't ask for my number
And I won't ask for yours
Some things are best left alone
So just kiss me again like this never ends
Like there's no one waitin' at home"

And tell me you love me
Tell me you need me
I know we both know it ain't true
And I'll whisper, "You're everything I've ever wanted"
I'll pretend if you'll pretend too
Oh, tell me you love me
And use me like I'm usin' you

Baby, I'll whisper, "You're everything I've ever wanted"
I'll pretend if you'll pretend too
Aw, tell me you love me
And use me like I'm usin' you
Mmm, like I'm usin' you

He came home from work and saw a U-Haul
Backed up to the porch
What the hells going on, she said happy anniversary
I'm giving you a divorce
Go on and get going but you ain't taking the kids
Thats one thing for sure
She said look at them kids and now look again
Now tell me do they look like yours

[Chorus]
Ain't that a heartbreak
Ain't that a screw your head around
And ain't that a fine break
Ain't that a world turned upside down
Ain't that a do you wrong
Ain't that a bitter pill to taste
Ain't that a stone cold country song
Yea ain't that a heartbreak

Ohh six months later theres a U-Haul trailer
Kicking dust up down the drive
And she knocks on the door with an old sob story
Maybe daddy left her high and dry
He said thats too sad, thats really too bad
Wish I had time to hear about that
But I got a new love, she's got the oil warmed up
And she's about to rub my back

Ain't that a heartbreak
Ain't that a screw your head around
And ain't that a fine break
Ain't that a world turned upside down
Ain't that a do you wrong
Ain't that a bitter pill to taste
Ain't that a stone cold country song
Yea ain't that a heartbreak

Well I ain't no philosopher
But I believe this is true
What you do to someone else
Is gonna come back around onto

Ain't that a heartbreak
Ain't that a screw your head around
And ain't that a fine break
Ain't that a world turned upside down
Ain't that a do you wrong
Ain't that a bitter pill to taste
Ain't that a stone cold country song
Yea ain't that a heartbreak

Ain't that a stone cold country song
Yea ain't that a heartbreak

Well, it's been some time
You still look like an angel
I heard you're doin' fine
Got promoted back in April and you met someone
Your dad says he's okay
Well, I've never been better
Things are going my way

I sleep like a baby
I never show up late for work
I don't drink whiskey
I don't know how it feels to hurt
Oh, and I ain't been lonely since you said goodbye
I wish I could say I miss you
But you know I never lie

Yeah, I met somebody too
She's a model out in LA
And she's begging me to move
She's says Malibu is really great
Ain't decided if I'm going or not
But at the end of the day

I sleep like a baby
I never show up late for work
I don't drink whiskey
I don't know how it feels to hurt
Oh, and I ain't been lonely since you said goodbye
Wish I could say I miss you
But you know I never lie

Yeah, I've never been better
Things are going my way

I sleep like a baby
I never show up late for work
Oh, and I don't drink whiskey
I don't know how it feels to hurt
Oh, and I ain't been lonely since you said goodbye
Wish I could say I miss you
Oh, but you know I never lie

Better get them wheels rolling
If you're really goin'
Shouldn't take this long to say goodbye
Cause you keep talking, talking
Instead of walking, walking
Wasting way too much of my sweet time

[Chorus]
When there's grass that needs mowing
And fish that needs catching
Ain't tryna be pushy don't wanna be rude
But there's beer needs drinking
And a bar that needs closing
And a girl that's needing holding to
Now when did you say you're leaving baby
I got things to do

Whats with all this fussing
Whats with all this cussing
Leaving was your idea all along
But you keep yacking, yacking
When you ought to be packing, packing
Why don't you get going so I can get on with

Grass that needs mowing
And fish that needs catching
Ain't tryna be pushy don't wanna be rude
But there's beer needs drinking
And a bar that needs closing
And a girl that's needing holding to
Ohh when did you say you're leaving baby
I got things to do

Girl it just ain't right
You burning up my daylight

And there's grass that needs mowing
And fish that needs catching
Ain't tryna be pushy don't wanna be rude
But there's beer needs drinking
And a bar that needs closing
And a girl that's needing holding to
Ohh when did you say you're leaving baby
I got things to do

Just when did you say you're leaving baby
I got things to do
Things to do
