Caught Up In The Country
  1. Burn Something

    We get off on the flame
    I know we said we’re through
    But here it comes
    Here we go again
    Even though every time we do
    We burn something

    We ain’t no walk in the park
    We’re like sparkin’ kerosene
    We’re better off apart
    But dammit girl I need
    To burn somethin’

    So tonight come lay down by my side
    Bite my lip, light me on fire
    Get this bed so hot we should be running
    Run your fingers down my back
    Only you can strike that match
    Love me just like we ain’t learned nothing
    Baby let’s burn something

    Till there’s no more flame to feed
    All the smoke is all smoked out
    We’ll deal with the ashes when tomorrow rolls around

    But tonight come lay down by my side
    Bite my lip, light me on fire
    Get this bed so hot we should be running
    Run your fingers down my back
    Only you can strike that match
    Love me just like we ain’t learned nothing
    Baby let’s burn something
    C’mon baby let’s burn something

    Like the bridge we keep rebuilding
    Just to send it back up in a blaze baby
    ‘Cause we can’t get enough

    So tonight come lay down by my side
    Bite my lip, light me on fire
    Get this bed so hot we should be running
    Run your fingers down my back
    Only you can strike that match
    Love me just like we ain’t learned nothing
    C’mon baby let’s burn something
    C’mon baby let’s burn something
    Baby let’s burn

  3. Figure Out You (Riddle)

    Andrew Dorff, Casey Beathard, & Monty Criswell

    There’s a smoke ring halo over your head
    Well you stop on green and go on red
    You say the dirtiest things in the prettiest drawl
    You ain't scared to jump but you're afraid to fall

    You keep me beautifully confused
    First kiss I stole I knew
    I wanna spend the rest of my life trying to figure out you

    Well I can't make you love me if you don't
    And leave this long-haired country boy alone
    In the mirror while you're putting on your make up
    I'm thinking fast ball, you throw me a change up
    You're my favorite wonder of this world
    I got a million crazy questions, girl
    But only one I know the answer to
    I wanna spend the rest of my life trying to figure out you

    You me push me away and say where you been
    You never wanna see me till you see me again
    You’re my cloud 9 high and all time low
    It’s a pricey deal but I'm still sold

    You keep me beautifully confused
    First kiss I stole I knew
    I wanna spend the rest of my life trying to figure out you

    Well I can't make you love me if you don't
    And leave this long-haired country boy alone
    In the mirror while you're putting on your make up
    I'm thinking fast ball, you throw me a change up
    You're my favorite wonder of this world
    I got a million crazy questions, girl
    But only one I know the answer to
    I wanna spend the rest of my life trying to figure out you

    Well I can't make you love me if you don't
    And leave this long-haired country boy alone
    In the mirror while you're putting on your make up
    I'm thinking fast ball, you throw me a change up
    You're my favorite wonder of this world
    I got a million crazy questions, girl
    But only one I know the answer to
    I wanna spend the rest of my life trying to figure out you
    The rest of my life trying to figure out you
  4. Thank God For You

    Burned tire marks, hometown street
    Red Trans Am, bad boy streak
    Head held high, little too proud
    Turned 18, got the hell out
    I was ready to show ‘em all a thing or two
    Thank God for you

    Jack on the rocks, Skynyrd bar band
    College dropout, no kinda plan
    Holes in my boots, one pair of jeans
    American girls, Mexican weed
    Sure ‘nough bound for nowhere
    That’s the truth
    Thank God for you

    I thank God there’s angels for young wild rebels
    Girls who can dance you away from the devil
    And make my world spin ‘round the way you do
    I thank God for the days on the front porch swinging
    Holding your hand, the whole time thinking how lucky I am
    Thank God for you
    (Woahh, woahhh)

    Pawn shop guitar turned up loud
    Jar full of tips, beer drinking crowd
    Feel right at home up on the stage
    Songs about you, hell that I raised
    I still got a wild hair or two
    Thank God for you

    I thank God there’s angels for young wild rebels
    Girls who can dance you away from the devil
    Make my world spin ‘round the way you do
    I thank God for the days just a front porch swinging
    Holding your hand, the whole time thinking how lucky I am
    Thank God for you
    (Woahh, woahhh)
    (Woahh, woahhh)

    I thank God there’s angels for young wild rebels
    Girls who can dance you away from the devil
    Make my world spin ‘round the way you do
    I thank God for the days just a front porch swinging
    Holding your hand, the whole time thinking how lucky I am
    Thank God for you
  5. So Good

    I love this town
    But I can’t hang around here no more
    I see your face in every place we used to go
    As soon as I walk through the door
    Can’t get my heart around what happened
    We were lovin’ and laughing and having a ball
    You called me baby and you swore that you were crazy for me
    Now you ain’t even taking my call

    Hadn’t been so good
    It wouldn’t be so bad
    Hadn’t been so damn happy
    It wouldn’t be so sad

    I could tough it out
    Let you go
    Man up and let it roll off my shoulders
    Yes I could
    If it hadn’t been so good
    It hadn’t been so good

    If you’re saying our song is faded and gone
    And our dance is done
    Least I can say I made you smile for a while
    Baby leaving would be easy
    Wouldn’t be no crying
    And goodbye wouldn’t feel like dying
    If it hadn’t been so good

    If it hadn’t been so good
    So good

    If it hadn’t been so good
    It wouldn’t be so bad
    If it hadn’t been so damn happy
    Wouldn’t be so sad

    I could tough it out,
    Let you go,
    Man up and let it roll off my shoulders
    Girl I could
    If it hadn’t been so good
    So good
    So good
    So good
    So good
    So good
  6. What Lonely Looks Like

    Luke Laird & Barry Dean

    (If this is what lonely looks like)
    I’s supposed to be
    Sitting at the house
    Thinking about how it didn’t work out
    Wondering what I coulda done different

    Yeah some buddies of mine
    Were saying that I been down for too long
    It’s about time to walk it off
    And get on with it

    I’s sitting here, on my second beer
    Through the Marlboro Light smoke, you appear
    And it hit me that I just might be alright

    If this is what lonely looks like
    Bring on them sad songs
    Turn up that done me wrong
    Sometimes they save you when they say goodbye
    Everybody ain’t meant to be
    But the way you’re looking at me
    It makes me think I’m gonna be fine, fine, fine, fine, fine
    If this is what lonely looks like
    Yeah if this is what lonely looks like

    So there it is and here we are
    The ace of spades and the queen of hearts
    Sharin’ a drink and a shoulder
    Wondering where you want to go when it’s over
    The funny thing about a memory is you can let it hold you down
    Or have another round and make a few more
    That smile of yours
    Look in your eyes
    Thinkin’ I might be alright

    If this is what lonely looks like
    Bring on them sad songs
    Turn up that done me wrong
    Sometimes they save you when they say goodbye
    Everybody ain’t meant to be
    But the way you’re looking at me
    It makes me think I’m gonna be fine, fine, fine, just fine
    If this is what lonely looks like
    Yeah if this is what lonely looks like

    Your lips got me forgetting all the might-have-beens
    Nobody likes it when a movie ends
    But then again, when you came walkin’ in

    I said if this is what lonely looks like
    Bring on them sad songs
    Turn up that done me wrong
    Sometimes they save you when they say goodbye
    Everybody ain’t meant to be
    But the way you’re looking at me
    It makes me think I’m gonna be fine, fine, fine, fine, fine
    If this is what lonely looks like
    Yeah if this is what lonely looks like
  7. My Life

    My eyes were brown
    I spent my whole life looking down
    Dodging punches, bounced around
    Telling myself I wasn’t no count
    I’m starting to see things different now
    Out of nowhere you showed up
    Said you liked my edges rough
    Felt your touch and for the first time
    I didn’t wanna buck

    I love my eyes ‘cause you look into ‘em
    And I love my name ‘cause you say it, baby
    I love my heart ‘cause you stole it
    My kiss ‘cause you want it
    My mind ‘cause you’re on it every minute
    I love my life ‘cause you’re in it

    A vagabond
    Just running from my blood
    keeping my back to the sun
    The whiskey on my breath
    Bitter words on my tongue
    Showed you the truth
    You kissed my scars and the faded faces on my cards
    Ain’t the man I used to be
    Because of who you are

    I love my eyes ‘cause you look into ‘em
    And I love my name ‘cause you say it, baby
    I love my heart ‘cause you stole it
    My kiss ‘cause you want it
    My mind c’ause you’re on it every minute
    I love my life ‘cause you’re in it

    It’s just the beginning of
    A beautiful ending love
    Your love makes life worth living, worth living

    I love my eyes ‘cause you look into ‘em
    And I love my name ‘cause you say it, baby
    I love my heart ‘cause you stole it
    My kiss ‘cause you want it
    My mind ‘cause you’re on it every minute
    I love my life ‘cause you’re in it
    I love my life ‘cause you’re in it
  8. Cover Me Up

    Jason Isbell

    A heart on the run keeps a hand on the gun
    Can’t trust anyone
    I was so sure what I needed was more
    Tried to shoot out the sun
    Days when we raged, we flew off the page
    Such damage was done
    But I made it through
    ‘Cause somebody knew I was meant for someone

    Girl, leave your boots by the bed
    We ain't leaving this room
    Till someone needs medical help
    Or the magnolias bloom
    It's cold in this house and I ain't going out to chop wood
    So cover me up and know you're enough
    To use me for good

    I put your faith to the test when I tore off your dress
    In Richmond on high
    But I sobered up and I swore off that stuff
    Forever this time
    And old lover's sang
    “I thought it'd be me who helped him get home”
    But home was a dream
    One that I'd never seen till you came along

    So girl, hang your dress up to dry
    We ain't leaving this room
    Till Percy Priest breaks open wide
    And the river runs through
    And carries this house on the stones
    Like a piece of driftwood
    So baby cover me up and know you're enough
    To use me for good

    Girl, leave your boots by the bed
    We ain't leaving this room
    Till someone needs medical help
    Or the magnolias bloom
    It's cold in this house and I ain't going out to chop wood
    So cover me up and know you're enough
    To use me for good
    So cover me up and know you're enough
    To use me for good

    Sugar cover me up and know you’re enough
    To use me for good

  10. Young Man

    We were thin as rails
    Thick as thieves
    Little acorns trying to be trees
    16 going on 18 going on 21
    We choked on smokes, gagged on bourbon
    Hitting ‘em both, bound and determined
    To be anywhere but where we were
    Somebody mighta said it but we wouldn’t of heard it
    (Say)

    Young man you’re growin’ up so fast
    You only get one chance, one chance to be a young man,
    Young man
    You won’t know what these carefree days are worth
    When you’re up to your blue collar neck in work
    Soak it in while you still can
    Just be young, just be young man

    She was driving me wild in a Z28
    Strawberry boones, was gas on a flame
    She had her finger on the trigger
    Neither one of us considered the safety
    Backseat rodeo was all fun and games
    Till she told me I ruined her life, she was late
    I wanted to run ‘cause all I could think

    I’m a young man growin’ up so fast
    I only get one chance, one chance to be young man,
    Young man
    You’re gonna know what your carefree days are worth
    When you’re up to your blue collar neck in work
    Soak it in while you can just be young just be just be
    Young man
    (Don’t just be young)

    Son I’m cool when you do what do
    The flat brim hat and peach fuzz chin
    When I go to hug you and you try to shake my hand, think again
    Take it from your old man
    You’re growing up so fast
    And you only get one chance one chance to be a young man,
    Young man

    You don’t know what your carefree days are worth
    Till your up to you’re blue collar neck in work
    So soak it in while you can just be young just be young, man
    Just be young
    Don’t just be young
    Just be young, young man
  11. Everybody's Got Something

    I DRIVE A NEW WAY HOME

  12. Waiting On A Good Day

    Rodney Atkins & Ted Hewitt

    It rained all spring, we lost heifers in the flood
    June, July, and August they were hotter’n Satan’s blood
    Early September frost crippled crops this year
    I think it’s safe to say that the Holidays won’t be happy here

    We're just waiting on a good day to say goodbye
    We’ve tried and tried but we can’t recall a stint of tougher times
    We had a few good years
    Then it got so sad ‘round here
    We’ll have to cheer up to cry
    So we're waiting on a good day to say goodbye

    We don’t hate each other
    Nah it’d never get that far
    We know we’re both to blame for our half-hearted broken hearts
    January’s just so bitter
    Oh March’ll be much better
    The grass is gonna get green again, till then we’ll stick together

    Just waiting on a good day to say goodbye
    We’ve tried and tried but we can’t recall a stint of tougher times
    We had a few good years
    Then it got so sad ‘round here
    We’ll have to cheer up to cry
    So we're waiting on a good day

    ‘Cause she’s not her, I’m not me
    Till we’re ourselves we’ll drag our feet
    And when the sun finally shines
    She might be in love with the man she finds

    Just waiting on a good day to say goodbye
    We’ve tried and tried but we can’t recall tougher times
    We had a few good years
    Then it got so sad ‘round here
    We’ll have to cheer up to cry
    So we're waiting on a good day to say
    I knew we’d make it through that rough patch together, babe
    We’re just waiting’ on, waiting on a good good day
