Sunshine And Summertime	lyrics
SUNSHINE AND SUMMERTIME (John Rich/Rodney Clawson/Kylie Sackley) We've got barefoot ladies and tricked out Mercedes, And people getting crazy on the boulevard We've got Classic Colas an' ice-cold Corona's And big pool parties in the back yard. I said, hey, that's the way we do it New friends and blue skies that never end Hey, that's the way we like it Good times, sunshine and summertime You'll see straw sombreros and t-top Camero's, And stereos blasting in the parking lot You'll see rock hard bodies an' bikini hotties And everybody's got it goin' on, an' showin' what they got Hey, that's the way we do it New friends and blue skies that never end Hey, that's the way we like it Good times, sunshine and summertime I said: "Hey everybody, can't you feel the rhythm now? "Hey everybody, don't you want to party? "Hey everybody, can't you feel the rhythm now? "Hey everybody, don't you want to party?" Hey, that's the way we do it New friends and blue skies that never end Hey, that's the way we like it Good times, sunshine and summertime Hey, that's the way we do it New friends and blue skies that never end Hey, that's the way we like it Good times, sunshine and summertime Good times, sunshine and summertime Good times, sunshine and summertime
Mississippi Girl	lyrics
MISSISSIPPI GIRL (John Rich/Adam Schoenfeld) It's a long way from Star Mississippi To the big stage I'm singing on tonight And sometimes the butterflies still get me When I'm in the spotlight And some people seem to think that I've changed That I'm different than I was back then But in my soul I know that I'm the same way That I've really always Cause a Mississippi girl don't change her ways Just cause everybody knows her name Ain't big headed from a little bit of fame I still like wearin my old ball cap Ride my kids around piggy pack They might know me around the world But ya'll I'm still a Mississippi girl Well I spent a few weeks in California They put my face on a big movie screen But that don't mean I've forgotten where I came from That's just me chasin dreams Cause a Mississippi girl don't change her ways Just cause everybody knows her name Ain't big headed from a little bit of fame I still like wearin my old ball cap Ride my kids around piggy pack They might know me around the world But ya'll I'm still a Mississippi girl Cause a Mississippi girl don't change her ways Just cause everybody knows her name Ain't big headed from a little bit of fame I still like wearin my old ball cap Ride my kids around piggy pack They might know me around this world (that's alright) But ya'll I'm still a Mississippi girl
Dearly Beloved	lyrics
DEARLY BELOVED (Georgia Middleman/Fred Wilhelm) All right: Here we go. Good morning, dearly beloved, We are gathered here today, To watch two people we know make a big mistake. They’ll stand up at the altar, And solemnly swear: "I do". They’ll be together forever till they find somebody new. Her Daddy’s in the front row Muttering: "Oh no, here we go again. "They had a couple dates, now she’s three months late. "And it’s twenty bucks a plate I spent." Oh, good morning, dearly beloved, I’d like to welcome ya'll, To see the side effects of sex and alcohol. Please bow your heads and join me, In a prayer for these two: Who’ll be together forever till they find somebody new. (Oh all right!) The bride is a flirt and the groom is worse. As he’s putting the ring on her, He’s checkin' out the bridesmaids thinkin' that he might take, The maid of honor's honor. Oh, welcome, dearly beloved, We are here this afternoon, To throw rice as these two drive down the road to ruin. With cans tied to the bumper, An' a draggin’ muffler too, They’ll be forever together till they find somebody new. So raise your glass and join me, Here’s to the bride and groom: They’ll be together forever till they find somebody new Y'all come back, y'hear now? Thanks Dad.
I Ain't Gonna Take It Anymore	lyrics
I AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE (Kevin Brandt/Bobby Terry) You've worn the soles off both your shoes, Walkin' on me like you do. This ain't what forever's for, And I ain't gonna take it, I ain't gonna take it, Anymore. I've cried and begged and cursed and prayed, But nothing's worked, nothin's changed. No way, I win when you keep score, And I ain't gonna take it, I ain't gonna take it, Anymore. I'm gonna crawl out from this stone that I've been under, To see the light and breathe the air. And you'll have a million reasons why I shouldn't leave you. But for the first time in a long time, I don't care. I guess on one hand you should laugh, 'Cause I've said the same things in the past. But this time one hand's on the door, And I ain't gonna take it, I ain't gonna take it, Anymore. I'm gonna crawl out from this stone that I've been under, To see the light and breathe the air. And you'll have a million reasons why I shouldn't leave you. But for the first time in a long time, I don't care. Now I can't help but think of you, Lookin' back in my rear view. But I've been down that road before, And I ain't gonna take it, I ain't gonna take it, Anymore. Oh, I ain't gonna take it, I ain't gonna take it, Anymore.
Stealing Kisses	lyrics
STEALING KISSES (Lori McKenna) "It's late enough, all your kids should be home," The policeman says as he takes your beer for his own. You remember wondering what his wife thought about his occupation. He knows that you were just chasin' a dream. To the town line and back and over again. So he winks at your girls and tells you all: "I'll see you later." I was stealin' kisses from a boy, Now I'm beggin' affection from a man: In my house dress, don't you know who I am? Don't you know who I am? Standing in your kitchen. It's late enough, your husband's dinner is cold, So you wrap it up and leave it for him on the stove. It's probably the traffic again: another important meeting. You haven't talked to an adult all day, Except for your neighbor who drives you crazy. When he finally gets in, he's sure not in the mood for talkin'. I was stealin' kisses from a boy, Now I'm beggin' affection from a man: In my house dress, don't you know who I am? Don't you know who I am? I'm standing in your kitchen. And hours become days, (Become days.) Days become years, And you could burn down this town, If they made matches from fear. 'Cause you're no worse off than anybody else. Hey, don't you even know, Don't you even know yourself? So you're standing outside your high school doors: The ones you walked through 20 years before, And you whisper to all the girls: "Run, run, ooh, run." I was stealin' kisses from a boy, Now I'm beggin' affection from a man: In my house dress, don't you know who I am? Don't you know who I am? Take a look at who I am. Take a look at who I am. I'm stealin' kisses. Stealin' ksses.
Fireflies	lyrics
FIREFLIES (Lori McKenna) Before you met me, I was a fairy princess. I caught frogs and called them "Prince", And made myself a queen. Before you knew me, I traveled 'round the world. I slept in castles and fell in love, Because I was taught to dream. I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top, To capture Tinkerbell. An' they were just fireflies to the untrained eye, But I could always tell. I believe in fairy tales, And dreamer's dreams like bedsheet sails. And I believe in Peter Pan, and miracles, Anything I can to get by: And fireflies. Before I grew up, I saw you on a cloud. I could bless myself in your name, And pat you on your wings. Before I grew up, I heard you whisper so loud. Life is hard an' so is love, child: Believe in all these things. I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top, To capture Tinkerbell. An' they were just fireflies to the untrained eye, But I could always tell. I believe in fairy tales, And dreamer's dreams like bedsheet sails. And I believe in Peter Pan, and miracles, Anything I can to get by: And fireflies. Fireflies. Before you met me, I was a fairy princess. I caught frogs and called them "Prince", And made myself a queen. Before you knew me, I traveled 'round the world. And I slept in castles an' fell in love, Because I was taught to dream.
Like We Never Loved At All (Faith Hill with Tim McGraw)	lyrics
LIKE WE NEVER LOVED AT ALL (Faith Hill with Tim McGraw) (John Rich/Scott Sax/Vicky McGehee) You never looked so good as you did last night, Underneath the city lights. There walking with your friend, laughing at the moon. I swear you looked right through me. But I'm still living with your goodbye, And you're just going on with your life. How can you just walk on by without one tear in your eye? Don't you have the slightest feelings left for me? Maybe that's just your way of dealing with the pain, Forgetting everything between our rise and fall, Like we never loved at all. You, I hear you're doing fine; Seems like you're doing well, As far as I can tell. Time, (Time) Is leaving us behind, (Leaving us behind) Another week has passed, And still I haven't laughed yet. So tell me, what your secret is, baby, yeah. (I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know.) To letting go, letting go like you did, Like you did. How can you just walk on by without one tear in your eye? Don't you have the slightest feelings left for me? Maybe that's just your way of dealing with the pain, Forgetting everything between our rise and fall, Like we never loved at all. Did you forget the magic? Did you forget the passion? (Passion.) Oh, oh, and did you ever miss me, Ever long to kiss me? (Oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh oh, baby, (Oh baby) Baby. Maybe that's just your way of dealing with the pain, Forgetting everything between our rise and fall, Like we never loved at all (at all)
I Want You	lyrics
I WANT YOU (River Rutherford/Bobby Tomberlin) The eagle wants a canyon and a place where he can rest his wings a while. The drifter wants a freight train that will carry him another hundred miles. That lion’s only lookin' for something he can sink his teeth into. Oh and I want you. Ah ha, no, no, no. The devil wants a fella with a weakness he can wrap his arms around. The champion wants a challenger who just might have the strength to take him down. The river wants an ocean to run towards and pour it's heart into. Oh, and I want you. Oh, and I want you. Oh, every time that I’m around you, Oh, I’m on fire when we touch. Oh, when I hold you, boy, you know, I can’t get close enough. Yes, I want you. Oooh, ah. Oooh, ah. I could cry an' say I need you an' tell you that I die when you’re not here. I could lie an' say I love you: pour a little poison in your ear. But all I’m gonna give you is nothin' but the bare and naked truth. Oh baby, I want you. Baby, I want you. Oooh, ah. Oooh, ah. Ahh Ahh.
The Lucky One	lyrics
THE LUCKY ONE (Brett Warren/Brad Warren/Jay Joyce) So hot outside, all I can wear is these cut off overalls And sandals on my feet. But I emptied my pockets for a bus ticket, Just so I could sit there on a broken seat. I got no place I should go, I got no worries, you know. Second or seventh street, it doesn't matter to me. 'Cause you're mine, that's all I need to know. The sun shines everywhere we go. It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold every night. Yeah, I'm the lucky one. I'm the lucky one. Well, I pulled back down to my upstreet apartment: The air never works in that old place. Twenty-seven: I thought I'd be further along, Than just this rented space. I got no papers to read: I got no cable TV, no. And I got no places to be; I got no people to meet. 'Cause you're mine, that's all I need to know. The sun shines everywhere we go. It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold every night. Yeah, I'm the lucky one. I'm the lucky one. Yeah, I'm the lucky one. I'm on a roll when I'm with you. Don't stop me now: I just can't lose. 'Cause you're mine, that's all I need to know. The sun shines everywhere we go. It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold every night. 'Cause you're mine, that's all I need to know. The sun shines everywhere we go. It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold every night. Yeah, I'm the lucky one. (The lucky one.) I'm the lucky one. (I'm the lucky one.) Yeah, I'm the lucky one. (The lucky one.) I'm the lucky one.
If You Ask	lyrics
IF YOU ASK (Lori McKenna) Well, I’ve come to know the look on your face, When you’re lyin' about where you’ve been, Or how much you spent. I know when you will raise your fingers to your mouth, As if to wipe away the shame: It’s not a game, I know you feel bad. If you ask for my forgiveness, If you call my name, I will come. If you ask for my love, I will give you some. Someday I know you’ll understand: Someday you’ll finally realize what you’re doin' to yourself. If you ask for my forgiveness, If you call my name, I will come. If you ask for my love, I will give you some. We’ve been dancing to that same old song, Over and over again. I want to be your lover, I don’t want to be your policeman. So tonight when you finally make your way back to our door. I’ll let you sleep it off, like I did the night before. When you ask for my forgiveness, When you call my name, I will come. When you ask for my love, I will give you some. Iin the morning I will get you up, And I will smile just when you want me to. 'Cause I’m, I’m all you have.
We've Got Nothing But Love To Prove	lyrics
WE'VE GOT NOTHING BUT LOVE TO PROVE (Darrell Scott) What if no-one would kill for their religion? What if no-one ever had to go to war? What if children of the world made world decisions. Paint-by-number hatred wasn't hangin' around anymore. Is everything a.o.k in the USA? In the good ol' USA. Is everything a.o.k in the USA? In the good ol' USA. It's like everything and nothing leads to wisdom. It's like no one really means what they say. While we fight for peace an' die for our freedom, I guess we'll leave it to our children to find a better way. Is everything a.o.k in the USA? In the good ol' USA. Is everything a.o.k in the USA? In the good ol' USA. Is everything a.o.k in the USA? In the good ol' USA. Is everything a.o.k in the USA? In the good ol' USA. I know that I, I'm just a dreamer: A common man; schemer, Looking for light out of the dark night of my soul. I hear the drums of war, they are a-changing, And everybody's getting in the groove, yeah. Oh, we're laughin' and dancin' and talkin' and jammin' and singin'. Oh, we've got nothin' but love to prove: So how about you? Is everything a.o.k in the USA? In the good ol' USA. Is everything a.o.k in the USA? In the good ol' USA. Is everything a.o.k in the USA? In the good ol' USA. Is everything a.o.k in the USA? In the good ol' USA, good ol' USA. All right. Hey. Is everything, everything, is everything a.o.k, yeah. Is everything, everything, is everything a.o.k. C'mon.
You Stay With Me	lyrics
YOU STAY WITH ME (John Kennedy/Andrea Stople) TV flashes down the hall, painting pictures on the wall, And you’re still sleeping on my knees. And in the glow of silver light, I trace the lines above your eyes: Just another wrinkle that you can blame on me. But I can hear the current of the freeway in the distance if I keep listening. And I wonder if you ever thought of streaming off somewhere with it. Am I not what you thought? Will you get tired of what you got? If I can’t give you anymore, Than weathered ships and distant shores, Would you still be my compass, yeah? 'Cause you keep loving me the same: I don’t know how but you still stay with me, baby: You stay with me, baby. Another day, another week: we’ll slip back in old routines, Till nights like these come in between. Simple moments in the dark, ones that life can’t tear apart: They come along, oh, just when we need. And I still hear the current of the freeway in the distance but I stop listening. 'Cause I know you’ll stay. even though the waves are always shifting: We’re fighting our way through, I guess I always knew: If I can’t give you anymore, Than weathered ships and distant shores, Would you still be my compass, yeah? 'Cause you keep loving me the same: I don’t know how but you still stay with me, baby: You stay with me, baby. 'Cause you keep loving me the same: I don’t know how but you still stay with me, baby: You stay with me, baby. Oh, you stay with me. TV flashes down the hall, painting pictures on the wall.
Wish For You	lyrics
WISH FOR YOU (Craig Wiseman/Darrell Brown) A setting sun that paints a tie-dyed sky: A feather bed, an ancient lullaby. A kiss goodnight from one whose love is true: That’s the kind of day I wish for you. A field of flowers dancing in the spring. A little creek, a tree, an old rope swing. Cotton candy clouds against the blue: That’s the kind of day I wish for you. First love with all its storm, Raging like fire within. Tossing your heart to chance, You swear the dance will never end. But then it does and someone says goodbye, And after all those empty nights, you cried. The morning that you wake up, good as new: That’s the kind of day I wish for you. The faith of knowing, deep inside your heart, That Heaven holds more than just some stars. Someone’s up there watching over you: That’s the kind of day I wish for you.
Paris	lyrics
PARIS (Blair Daly/Gordie Sampson/Troy Verges) The train pulled into Paris like a rocket to the moon. The station's like a circus: every face is a cartoon. Everybody's stoned on pride and drunk on cheap champagne. Tonight this joie de vivre sure don't live up to its name. And now all that I can say is: I'd give this world to you, Every rock and every stone; Every masterpiece in Rome. And if you asked me to, I'd steal the Mona Lisa, Tear it up in little pieces, And lay them at your feet, For all the world to see. But tonight I can't give you Paris. Aristocrats are everywhere and the air's as thick as thieves. She'd like nothing better than to steal the breath from me. The tower's lights ain't shinin' as it hangs its head in shame, At the sight of American blood on the streets of St. Germain, Washin' up into the Seine. And I'd give this world to you, Every rock and every stone; Every masterpiece in Rome. And if you asked me to, I'd steal the Mona Lisa, Tear it up in little pieces, And lay them at your feet, For all the world to see. But tonight I can't give you Paris. And I'd give this world to you, I'd steal the crown and kingdom, From the Queen of England And if you asked me to, I'd take this city in my hands, Break it down in grains of sand, And lay them at your feet, For all the world to see. But tonight I can't give you Paris.
