Left thirty early, I still showed up late
Boss wasn't buyin' what I had to say
Took it on the chin with a smile on my face
No, it ain't my day

Clock it out, hop in my '05 truck
Just paid it off, and now it won't startup
Slam the steerin' wheel, swear I 'bout had enough<

And It's really coming down out here
Better turn the high beams on
Blue skies in the rear view mirror shining on you
Ain't no other way around this storm I'm going through

So bring it on, bring it on, bring on the pain I can take it
I'm gunna drive until the dawn
Gotta

You know I like my chicken fried
Cold beer on a friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up
Well I was raised up beneath
The shade of a georgia pine
And that`s home you know

Sweet tea pecan pie and homemade wine
Where the peaches grow
A

Never been turn three Talladega in the lead
Checkered flag 'bout to bring it home
Never had the the clock runnin' out, throw a Hail Mary
Touchdown and win a Super Bowl
Never picked the right five on a Saturday night
For the million dollar Powerball
I've never walked on th

Gold
Sunset sliding down that horizon
Three-sixty shinin' slow
Splittin' through the hills
Drippin' on a field of gold
Hayseed on the wind, summer blowin' in
Hand out the car window
She lets her hair down
Dirty blonde, but right now

It looks like gold

Another song, another town
The leavin' hurts, but you can't slow down
Yeah, another night, another show, neon rodeo
Miss you, baby, gotta go
It's goodbyes and wrong turns
Long nights and lessons learned
Baby, I know it's hard
Love you, but I can't stay
My life is

Sometimes it happens 'cause a friend has a friend
And sometimes it happens at the bar at two AM
Aw, but most the time, it happens when you finally stop tryin'
But for you and I, it happened when we finally stopped drivin'

We were blue-jean dreamers, too-young-to-know hearts

They say you know you made it
When everybody knows your name and
You're depeer in the pockets
Anything you want, you got it
The destination's always changin'
So you never quite arrive
I'm tired of goin' 'round in circles
So I'm gettin' off this ride

I'm takin' i

Faded Dallas Cowboys t-shirt
Just a streetlight-curfew kid
Sandlot swingin' for the fences
Thought those days would never end

Like number three burnin' up the track
Like a shootin' star through the summer black
Years were flyin' by in a flash
Watchin' the future bec

He said I was in my early forties
With a lot of life before me
When a moment came that stopped me on a dime
And I spent most of the next days
Looking at the x-rays
And talking about the options, talking 'bout sweet time

And I asked him when it sank in
That this migh

Smartest man that I ever knew
Never spent a day in college
But he believed that I needed more
Than a small town lumber mill knowledge
Four years at osu I'm surprised they let me in
Guess they taught me a thing or two but nothing like he did

Of how a worn out Bible can h

If she wanted to hide anything in the world from me
She coulda put it underneath that Bible that she gave me
Only thing she thought could save me
If she wanted me to hear what was goin' on in her heart
Yeah, she shoulda put it on vinyl, that jukebox
I'da heard every word arou

She puts holes in the living room wall when
She hangs a picture
She nearly burnt the house down last week,
Just cooking dinner
She's got a smile that lights up the room
She's got a short fused temp too
She's everything that drives a man insane
But I can't help but lov

I've watched a California sunset
Burn from orange to gold
Bought a pawn shop six string
Sold my soul to rock and roll
They say if you ain't busy livin'
Then you're just dyin' slow
I wanna say I've done it all
By the time it's time to go

Where and when and what'l

This town’s a prison in the great wide open
There’s a different set of bars that I'm behind
But you spread your wings and flew on up to Boston
Honey you got out so tell me why can’t I

I want to believe a man can change
But I'm doing the same thing
Same place every night

Ooh, yeah
Well that truck in the front yard
Needs a new carburetor
And that hole in the sheetrock
I'll get to it later
This front porch swinger's got a six-pack stringer
So I probably won't do it today

But there's always next year to drink less beer
And think le

Yeah, ayy
I'm up to no good again
Burnin' through a second wind
Turnin' these doubles into nothin'
Tryna drown somethin' burnin' down in my chest
It's beatin' me black and blue
Like only goodbye'll do
Wish I could just drop it, but I got a problem
And it ain't eve

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I would offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you f

There's some lipstick on a note that says goodbye
Find a new girl in some other town tonight
She rolled in from the west on a sunset desert breeze
Well she ran from nowhere lonely just like me
Tumbleweed

You entertain to love this heart of mine
Tumbleweed

Well I t

Give me a bottle of your very best
'Cause I've got a problem I'm gonna drink off my chest
Gonna spend the night gettin' down
'Cause that woman I had wrapped
Around my finger just come unwound
That woman I had wrapped around

My finger just come unwound
She kicked me
