Everyday someone asks me what's me story, And what do I like to do, And everyday, for the most part, I only go so far, I almost never tell the truth, 'Cause the trurth is behind me, there's not much to give up, I like simple, not complicated, [Chorus] 'Cause I'm a Small Town Kid, driven by rock music, And some honky-tonk in the mix, I like whiskey in coke, A doulbed to the top, shot of cuervo, now and then, I never ask for a lot, I'll never need much, A good-lookin lady who can drive my truck, I'm not afriad to admit, I'm that Small Town Kid, [End Chorus] City lights, yellow cabs, Yankee hats, suits and ties, everywhere, These city folks, look at me in my shirt and jeans, They make me think I don't fit in here, Well the things they say might be right, They might be so but one thing I know, I can't change who I am, [Chorus] 'Cause I'm a Small Town Kid, driven by rock music, And some honky-tonk in the mix, I like whiskey in coke, A doubled to the top shot of cuervo, now and then, I never ask for a lot, I'll never need much, A good-lookin lady who can drive my truck, I'm not afriad to admit, I'm that Small Town Kid, [End Chorus] Mama don't you worry, they won't change me, A hundered thousand miles mean nothin to me, [Chorus] 'Cause I'm a Small Town Kid, driven by rock music, And some honky-tonk in the mix, I like whiskey in coke, A doubled to the top shot of cuervo, now and then, I never ask for a lot, I'll never need much, A good-lookin lady who can drive my truck, I'm not afriad to admit, I'm that Small Town Kid, [End Chorus] I'm that Small Town Kid.. |

Give me skies of black and blue, the way you make me feel Give me skies of green and red, cold winds that make it real Storms are brewing deep within of hurt and loss and pride It's good to see the world in pain when I take a walk outside Chorus: When it rains, I don't mind being lonely, I cry right along with the sky When it rains, I don't pretend to be happy, I don't even have to try When it rains, Some people get down, They're sporting a frown, so I fit right in Yeah, the sun may brighten your day but if I had my way, I'd take the rain I don't care about politics or the hypocrites on my TV I'm not mad at the girl who left because she couldn't be with me So make up your theories about the scandals and the lies Start out depressed then everything comes as a pleasant surprise When it rains, I don't mind being lonely, I cry right along with the sky When it rains, I don't pretend to be happy, I don't even have to try When it rains, Some people get down, They're sporting a frown, so I fit right in Yeah, the sun may brighten your day but if I had my way, I'd take the rain **Solo** When it rains, I don't mind being lonely, I cry right along with the sky When it rains, I don't pretend to be happy, I don't even have to try When it rains, Some people get down, They're sporting a frown, so I fit right in Yeah, the sun may brighten your day but if I had my way, I'd take the rain |

I've got the streets memorized, I see the faces embedded in my mind, I keep on fightin the urge to go, I've got nothin in common with the town I've come to know, (So) [Chorus] I am so close now to walkin away, About to walk a path I've gotta take, I am packin up, headin out, Cause I can't sleep I'm dreamin way too loud, I'm so close now, so close now, To gettin out, [End Chorus] The same old lines, the same routine, Nothin changes, that's not good for me, I need a break, I need somethin new, I need to replace these old worn out broke shoes, (Cause) [Chorus] I am so close now to walkin away, About to walk a path I've gotta take, I am packin up, headin out, Cause I can't sleep I'm dreamin way too loud, I'm so close now, so close now, To gettin out, [End Chorus] I've got that truck all loaded down, I should've known how hard it'd be to leave this town, [Chorus] I am.. So close now to walkin away, About to walk a path I've gotta take, I am packin up, headin out, Cause I can't sleep I'm dreamin way too loud, I'm so close now, so close now, To gettin out, [End Chorus] To gettin out, To gettin out... |

That's The Way
I sit here in my bed, with you in my head, haunting my mind I think of all we had, all the good and bad and all of the times We'd sit down and talk, sometimes till three or four o'clock in the morning I live in misery, haunted by your memory, and the love that I felt Guess that was not enough, you fell out of love, something you couldn't help I guess now I see; that's the way it's gotta be Chorus: Fates got a plan for us, even when our lives get rough You make up, break up, you fall, you get back up Can't you see; that's the way it's gotta be We run around these streets, looking for company, someone to hold At the end of the night, we give up our fights, and go home alone We give up on love, and we say we've had enough of the game Fates got a plan for us, even when our lives get rough You make up, break up, you fall, you get back up Can't you see; that's the way it's gotta be We walk around in circles, were all just jumping hurdles, just trying to get by We take life in stride, and swallow our pride, all to survive Can't you see; that's the way it's gotta be Fates got a plan for us, even when our lives get rough You make up, break up, you fall, you get back up Can't you see; that's the way it's gotta be |

Going through the change, when it rains it pours these days
Nothing stays the same, you gotta find new ways To swim upstream, while you chase your dreams And in between you keep your sanity Chorus: Waiting on life to Level Waiting on something stable Maybe soon I'll be able To rest my head again Never thought I'd see the day, I'd hear the old man say It could end this way, why did it end this way And the young kids know, they'll be on their own And you can't go home; no you can't go home Waiting on life to Level Waiting on something stable Maybe soon I'll be able To rest my head again Ups and Downs, what goes around comes around They don't get the hint downtown; they try to hold you down Waiting on life to Level Waiting on something stable Maybe soon I'll be able To rest my head again |

I fell in love with an Oklahoma girl, She stole my heart took over my world, She lit my cigarette and never had to ask, One look and I was gone like that, [Chorus] That's okay I don't mind, A Texas boy just might find, Something in an Oklahoma girl, When I met that girl she took me where I'd never been before, Miles away from my so-called life, I didn't really care, She took me there... [End Chorus] Made a 2 hour drive to stay one night, A kiss on the lips made it all feel right, Hands through my hair and her head on my chest, The whole day we stayed in bed, [Chorus] That's okay I don't mind, A Texas boy just might find, Something in an Oklahoma girl, When I met that girl she took me where I'd never been before, Miles away from my so-called life, I didn't really care, She took me there.. [End Chorus] I crossed the state line about an hour ago, Got all week to brag to everyone I know, That roll their eyes and shake their heads, Who have their doubts, Make their bets.. [Chorus] But that's okay I don't mind, A Texas boy just might find, Something in an Oklahoma girl, When I met that girl she took my where I'd never been before, Miles away from my so-called life, I didn't really care, She took me there....... [End Chorus] |

Eternal flame came on the radio, And I remember how you loved it so, Memories sneak up on me, wherever I go, A car like you used to drive, Pulled beside me today at the light, Chances to break down and cry, wherever I go, And you want me to be strong, any less just shows I'm weak, How'd you turn so cold, where's the girl I used to know, [Chorus] And it's love and hate and all these emotions, I never thought that you'd be going, Now I'm just going through the motions, Where everything is you, everything is you, [End Chorus] An inside joke comes to mind, We'd wear them out all the time, Memories sneak up on me wherever I go, And it seems you've disappeared, though you're not that far away, Please tell me it's not true, I didn't mean that much to you, [Chorus] And it's love and hate and all these emotions, I never thought that you'd be going, Now I'm just going through the motions, Where everything is you, everything is you, [End Chorus] What did I do wrong, nothing I treated you like an angel, What did I do wrong, nothing I treated you like an angel, What did I do wrong, nothing I treated you like an angel, I treated you like an angel, [Chorus] And it's love and hate and all these emotions, I never thought you'd be going, Now I'm just going through the motions, Where everything is you, everything is you, [End Chorus] I treated you like an angel... |

She walked in dressed in red
Didn't take long to lose my head All this time I never knew There were girls with eyes so blue Certain of herself, she walked around As if she knew she owned this town Talking to her I'd have never guessed End of the night I'd kiss the girl in red Chorus: I'm not the kind to make up my mind To lose sanity; lose my head For some girl in red I smell the smoke; still hear the band Taste the beer that was in my hand That night we met runs through my head I can't forget the girl in red I'm not the kind to make up my mind To lose sanity; lose my head For some girl in red **Solo** I'm not the kind to make up my mind To lose sanity; lose my head For some girl in red I'm not the kind to make up my mind To lose sanity; lose my head For some girl in red |

I Call the Tune
I see you strutting in here girl with one thing on your mind Your gonna try to get the best of any man you find Girl keep on walking, walking on past me I've been around the block a time, I call them like I see I'm not accusing you of being insincere Before you say another word let me make it clear Chorus: You wanna go, lets go But we gotta do it my way Hold on, step back Hear everything that I say If you wanna love me, you've gotta give me room Baby we can dance but I call the tune I've been down that road before of making compromise Fallen to the power held behind a lover's eyes Now that I'm much older, I've gotta take a stand No amount of beauty's gonna change the way I am It's not too soon and you may think I'm jumping the gun Baby you can play for keeps when you don't need anyone You wanna go, lets go But we gotta do it my way Hold on, step back Hear everything that I say If you wanna love me, you've gotta give me room Baby we can dance but I call the tune You wanna go, lets go But we gotta do it my way Hold on, step back Hear everything that I say If you wanna love me, you've gotta give me room Baby we can dance but I call the tune [Thanks to Noah for lyrics] |

He never knew their names and never really cared, Lyin to himself, he was never just a young kid scared, Livin on his own with no one to hold on to, Nowhere to go, nothin to do, But lie awake and pray that one-day, Someone will come his way, [Chorus] All he knows, Are Highways and Broken Hearts, Late nights and old guitars, Wonderin where you are, You're so far away, [End Chorus] His shoes are worn and tired and not at their best, Like a gypsy never sure where he'll be goin next, Superficial friends, and girls with glazed over eyes, It's a good time, but just for the night, Then off he'll go to maybe Mexico, Then off to Colorado, [Chorus] All he knows are, Highways and Broken Hearts, Late nights and old guitars, Wonderin where you are, You're so far away, [End Chorus] (Yeah..) Staring through the walls of that motel room, Reflectin on his days, the route he seemed to choose, Will good outshine the bad, can he turn this thing around, Should he drop to his knees, just give up now, Beggin for release in the night, Has he gone too far to fight? [Chorus] All he knows are, Highways and Broken Hearts, Late nights and old guitars, Wonderin where you are, You're so far away, [End Chorus] You're so far away, You're so far away, Yeah.. (Yeah) (Yeah) |

I've been living in this town, for quite sometime
It's been eighteen years since I crossed that county line I sold almost everything that was mine Now I'm leaving town, with nothing but that bottom line A hundred dollars and a half of a tank of gas The shirt that's on my back, and an beat up Rangers cap 200 miles to go, who would believe that, I would go this far, without turning back Chorus: So Here I go, packing light to head down that road And I know, this life I'll lead will beat on my soul But I'll still have my pride Nothing But That Bottom Line The bands been on the road now, for quite sometime Hitting all the cities, neon sign to neon sign Drowning in straight bourbon whiskey, beer and too much wine Playing our songs for nothing but that bottom line But on that stage each night, were captured by the sound Singing these songs we write, to a different town 'Cause there are people who believe in what we've found They like the song we sing and that's why we hang around So Here I go, packing light to head down that road And I know, this life I'll lead will beat on my soul But I'll still have my pride Nothing But That Bottom Line Thirty Years from now on that marquee sign You'll see our name lit up misspelled, and live tonight But we don't care, cause we play music that we like Almost for free, for nothing but that bottom line So Here I go, packing light to head down that road And I know, this life I'll lead will beat on my soul But I'll still have my pride Nothing But That Bottom Line So Here I go, packing light to head down that road And I know, this life I'll lead will beat on my soul But I'll still have my pride Nothing But That Bottom Line |
