So Small - Carrie Underwood

2007-10-30T13:06:00.000-07:00

Yeah, Yeah

What you got if you ain't got love
The kind that you just want to give away
It's ok to open up
Go ahead and let the light shine through
I know it's hard on a rainy day
You wanna shut the world out and just be left alone
But don't run out on your faith

Cause sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever
Is in your hands
And when you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else seem
So small

It's so easy to get lost inside
A problem that seems so big at the time
It's like a river that's so wide it swallows you whole
While you're sitting around thinking about what you can't change

And worrying about all the wrong things
Time's flying by, moving so fast
You better make it count cause you can't get it back
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever
Is in your hands
Oh, and when you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else seem
So small, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've out there searching for forever
Is in your hands
And then you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Oh, it sure makes everything else seem
So small

Yeah, yeah

Ladies Love Country Boys - Trace Adkins

2006-12-23T04:16:00.000-07:00

Yeah she grew up in the city in a little subdivision
Her daddy wore a tie, mama never fried a chicken
Ballet, straight-As, most likely to succeed.

They bought her a car after graduation
Sent her down South for some higher education
Put her on the fast track to a law degree

Now shes coming home to visit
Holding the hand of a wild-eyed boy
With a farmers tan.

Shes riding in the middle of his pickup truck
Blaring Charlie Daniels, yelling, Turn it up!
They raised her up a lady but theres one thing
They couldn't avoid
Ladies love country boys.

You know mamas and daddies want better for their daughters
Hope they'll settle down with a doctor or a lawyer
And their uptown, ball gown, hand-me-down royalty.

They never understand why their princess falls
For some camouflage britches and a southern-boy-drawl.

Or why shes riding in the middle of a pickup truck
Blaring Hank Jr., yelling, Turn it up!
They raised her up a lady but theres one thing
They couldn't avoid
Ladies love country boys.

You can train em, you can try to teach em
Right from wrong but its still gonna turn em on.

When they go riding in the middle of a pickup truck
Blaring Lynyrd Skynyrd, yelling, Turn it up!
You can raise her up a lady but theres one thing
You just cant avoid
Ladies love country boys.

They love us country boys.

Almost - Bowling For Soup

2005-12-30T21:30:00.000-07:00

I almost got drunk at school, at fourteen
Where I almost made out with the Homecoming Queen
Who almost went on to be Miss Texas
But lost to a slut, with much bigger breast-es
I almost dropped out to move to LA
Where I was almost famous for almost a day

And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost loved you
I almost wished you would've loved me too

I almost held up a grocery store
Where I almost did five years and then seven more
Cause I almost got popped for a fight with a thug
Cause he almost made off with a bunch of the drugs
That I almost got hooked on cause you ran away
And I wish I would've had the nerve to ask you to stay

And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost had you
And I didn't even know it

You kept me guessin' and now I'm destined
To spend my time missing you
I almost wish you would've loved me too

Here I go, thinking 'bout all the things I could've done
I'm gonna need a forklift, cause all the baggage weighs a ton
(baggage weighs a ton)
I know we've had our problems, I can't remember one

I almost forgot to say something else
And if I can't fit it in, I'll keep it all to myself
I almost wrote a song about you today
But I tore it all up and then I threw it away

And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost had you
And I didn't even know it

You kept me guessin' and now I'm destined
To spend my time missing you
And I almost had you (almost had you)
Almost had you

I almost wish you would've loved me too.

Hicktown - Jason Aldean

2005-12-12T18:03:00.000-07:00

You like the way that sounds?
Little Jimmy Jackson is jackin' up his Bronco
He's gonna lay a little rubber later on at the truck pull
All the girls are getting pretty, sprayin' on the White Rain
Yeah they're gonna get a rowdy tonight down at the football game
Yeah

Chorus:
We let it rip
When we got the money Let it roll
If we got the gas it gets wild
Yeah but that's the way we get down
In a Hicktown

Well you can see the neighbors butt crack nailing on his shingles
And his womans' smokin Pall Mall's watchin' Laura Ingles
And Granny's getting lit she's headin' out to bingo
Yeah my buddies and me are goin' muddin' down on Blue Hole Road
You know Don`t you know

Chorus:
We let it rip
When we got the money Let it roll
If we got the gas it gets wild
Yeah but that's the way we get down
In a Hicktown
(Bridge)

We hear folks in the city party in Martini Bars
And they like to show off in their fancy foreign cars
Out here in the boondocks we buy beer at Amoco
And crank our Kraco speakers with that country radio

Chorus
We let it rip
When we got the money let it roll
If we got the gas it gets wild
Yeah but thats the way we get down
Oh Oh We Let It Rip
When we got the money Let it roll
If we got the gas it's buck wild
Yeah but that's the way we get down
In a Hicktown

In a Hicktown
It's the way we get down
In a Hicktown
Yeah in a Hicktown

Oh we ain't finished yet
Got your country boys
And your redneck girls
It's the party heard 'round the world
Right here in Hicktown

Yeah in Hicktown
The whole town's gettin down

Yeah we let it rip
When we got the money let it roll
If we got the gas it gets wild
Yeah but thats the way we get down
In Hicktown

Yah that's the way we get down
In Hicktown
Oh take it home

Songs About Me - Trace Adkins

2005-12-12T18:02:00.000-07:00

I met a guy on a Red Eye, he spotted my guitar and said Whada you do?
I said I sing for a livin’. Country music mixed with a little rock and a little blues.
He said I’m sorry but I’ve never been crazy ‘bout that twang and trains and hillbilly things.
Whatever made you want to sing stuff like that?
I just looked at him and laughed and said….

Cause it’s songs about me
And who I am
Songs about lovin and livin and good hearted women, family and God
Yeah they’re all just songs about me
Songs about me

So I offered him tickets. I said You’ll see what I mean if you show up tonight.
He said I doubt you’ll change my opinion . I’ll be kinda busy but hey man, I’ll try.
Then later on when we finished our songs about scars and cars and broken hearts,
I saw him, he was standing there right next to the stage and he shouted
Man you were right it was like you sang those
Songs about me and who I am
Songs about lovin and livin and good hearted women, family and God
Yeah they’re all just songs about me
Songs about me, yeah

So I’ll just keep on singing til I hear the whole world singing.
Those are songs about me and who I am.
Songs about lovin and livin and good hearted women, family and God.
Yeah they’re all just songs about me.
Songs about me.

Best I Ever Had - Gary Allan

2005-12-12T18:01:00.000-07:00

So you sailed away into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay, love can be so boring
And nothing's quite the same now
I just say your name now.

But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had.

So you stole my world, now I'm just a phony
Remembering the girl leaves me down and loney
Well, send it in a letter
Make yourself feel better.

But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You dont want me back
You're just the best I ever had.

And it might take some time to patch me up inside
But I can't take it so I, I run away and hide
And I might find in time that you were always right
You were always right.

So you sailed away into a grey sky morning
Now, I'm here to stay, love can be so boring
Was it what you wanted?
Could it be I'm haunted?

But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You dont want me back
You're just the best I ever had.

You're just the best I ever had.

Country Boy Can Survive - Kid Rock

2005-12-12T17:57:00.000-07:00

The preacher man says it’s the end of time
The Mississippi river she’s goin’ dry

The interest is up and the stock markets down
Your only getting mugged if ya go downtown

I live back in the woods you see
My woman, my kids, and my dogs and me

I got a shotgun and rifle and a 4-wheel drive
A country boy can survive
And a country boy can survive

See I can plow a field all day long
I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn

We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
Ain't too many things these old boys can't do

We grow good old tomatoes make homemade wine
A country boy can survive

Because you can't stomp us out and you can't make me run
Hey there boy I got a big shotgun

We say grace, and we say ma'am
If you ain't into that, we don't give a goddamn

I had a good friend in New York City
He never called me Kid Rock he called me Hillbilly

My grandpa taught me how to live off this land
His taught him to be a businessman

He used to send me pictures of the Broadway nights
I'd send him some homemade wine

But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
For forty-three dollars, my friend lost his life

Ohhh I'd love to spit some Beech-Nut in the dude's eye
Shoot him with my mother f****n old forty-five

A country boy can survive
Cuz you can't stomp us out and you can't make us run
Hey there boy I got a big shotgun

We say grace, and we say ma'am
If you ain't into that, we don't give a goddamn

Went from North California and south Alabam’
And little towns all around this land

I can skin a buck, and run a trotline
A country boy can survive
And a country boy can survive
Survive

Beautiful - Christina Aguilera

2005-12-12T17:55:00.000-07:00

Don't look at me

Everyday is so wonderful
And suddenly, it's hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain,
I'm so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness,
The pieces gone,
Left the puzzle undone,
Ain't that the way it is?

You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
Cause you are beautiful in every single way
Yes words can't bring you down, oh, no
So don't you bring me down today

No matter what we do
No matter what we say
We're the song inside the tune
Full of beautiful mistakes
And everywhere we go
The sun will always shine
But tomorrow we might awake
On the other side

'Cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes words can't bring us down
So don't you bring me down today

So don't you bring me down... today

Mississippi Girl - Faith Hill

2005-12-12T17:54:00.000-07:00

Well, 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 been

'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 wearing my old ball cap
Ridin' my kids around piggy back
They might know me all around the world
But, y'all, I'm still a Mississippi girl

Well, I spent a few weeks in California
They put my face on the big movie screen
But that don't mean I've forgotten where I came from
That's just me chasing 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 wearing my old ball cap
Ridin' my kids around piggy back
They might know me all around the world
But, y'all, 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
Still like wearing my old ball cap
Ridin' my kids around piggy back
They may know me all around this world, that's all right
But, y'all, I'm still a Mississippi... girl

Daughters - John Mayor

2005-12-12T17:53:00.000-07:00

I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
She's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too

Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left
Cleaning up the mess he made

Fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too

Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without warmth from
A woman's good, good heart

On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world

So fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters

So mothers be good to your daughters, too

Miss Me Baby - Chris Cagle

2005-12-12T17:50:00.000-07:00

Miss me baby
When you hear our favorite song,
Miss me baby
And when you start to sing along
Think about all the times that we danced
In light to it all night long, oh
Then miss me baby.

You want me honey,
Like you did the night you told me that you loved me
We couldn't wait anymore.
Left the keys in the door, took my hand
Pulled me down on the kitchen floor.
Yeah we were that crazy
Miss me baby.

'Cause when he's holding you,
Know that it's killing me,
Let my memory be the reason girl
That you can't sleep
And everytime you feel his touch,
I pray to God it's not enough
That I touched your heart so deep
Girl, you can't shake me
'Cause I love you,
Yes, I need you,
Miss me baby.

Miss me baby,
Until you can't take it no more
Miss me baby
Pack your bags and hit the door
I'm a man, I was wrong, forgive me
Come back home
I'll be waiting
Right here waiting
Miss me baby.

'Cause when he's holding you,
Know that it's killing me,
Let my memory be the reason girl
That you can't sleep
And everytime you feel his touch,
I pray to God it's not enough
And that I touched your heart so deep
Girl, you can't shake me
'Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you, oh
Miss me baby.

And everytime you feel his touch,
I pray to God it's not enough
And that I touched your heart so deep
Girl, you can't shake me
'Cause I love you,
Yes, I need you, oh
Miss me baby.

And everytime you hear this song,
Miss me baby...

Sitting, Waiting, Wishing - Jack Johnson

2005-12-12T17:41:00.000-07:00

Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe you'd see the signs

The Lord knows that this world is cruel
I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool
Learning lovin' somebody don't make them love you

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
Must I always be playing, playing your fool

I sang your songs, I danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
But putting up with them
Wasn't worth never having you

Maybe you've been through this before
But it's my first time so please ignore
The next few lines cause they're directed at you

I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool

I keep playing your part
But it's not my scene
Want this plot to twist
I've had enough mystery
Keep building it up
Then you shooting me down
But I'm already down

Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting

Well, if I was in your position
I'd put down all my ammunition
I'd wonder why'd it taken me so long

But the Lord knows that I'm not you
And if I was, I wouldn't be so cruel
Cause waitin' on love is so easy to do

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
Must I always be playing, playing your fool

No, I can't I always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool
