I had all my family in my back yard. I rocked and I rolled ‘em with my daddy’s guitar. I had only three strings but they didn’t seem to mind, ‘cause they came to see the king that night! Yea!
(CHORUS)
Well, all my life I dreamed I’d be soakin’ up the neon down in Tennessee. I’d be singin’ my songs in the biggest bars. Livin’ it up like a Hill-b-b-billy Superstar!
Well one of my buddies blew out his knee. Thought a football could catch the homecoming queen. He’d laugh me when I’d sing my songs. Now it’s my big ole bus that boy’s riding on.

(CHORUS)

Won’t be no pussy cat dolls playin’ in here tonight, but if you’re lookin’ for some Willie, I’m your guy! Yea yea!

(CHORUS)

2. MY BEST FRIEND’S A GIRL (3:31)

My best friend has 50 pairs of shoes, spends an hour at the store looking for shampoo.
My best friend hates it when I cuss, won’t drink beer or go fishin’ that much
My best friend knows nothin’ bout guitars, don’t get into poker or smokin’ big cigars
Never checks the oil in the car...

(CHORUS)
She’s five foot four and fun to kiss, the one I wanna hang out with on a Sunday. When it’s rainin.’ We’ll just lay around and love all day. I can talk to her about everything. She can talk me into most anything. Even drug me down to Disney world....my best friend’s a girl.
My best friend hates the freckles on her nose. She’s as pretty as it gets, and doesn’t even know it. My best friend can be stubborn as an ox and go an leave a little love note in my tackle box . And lately, been talkin’ babies, quite a lot.

(CHORUS)
She tells me, when my pants don’t match my shirt. She’s seen me at my best and loved me at my worst.

(CHORUS)
Yea, my best friend’s a girl. I sure love you, girl.



3.TALKIN’ COUNTRY** (3:11)
Jon Henderson, Neal Coty
Murrah Music Corporation (BMI)/Bug Music (BMI) Administered by Bug. All Rights Reserved. Used by permission.

She’s got a good heart, a saved soul, knows every shortcut off of Red Oak Road.
Loves takin’ her time, speakin’ her mind, and sittin’ with me on the porch.
From up north, to down south, ain’t the Mason Dixon I’m going on about.
She a sunrise through the Georgia pines coming through and old screen door

(CHORUS)
I’m talkin country blue eyes won’t you keep on shinin’ country.
From the place she takes me to the way she says she loves me.
Man, I’m talkin country

She got my back, my last name. Says, “There’s your two things that’ll never change.”
Likes moonlight, moonshine. Twin fiddles on the radio.
She a dance in the rain, a walk in the sun, a good time rocky boat river run.
She’s come to town turn back around. Same old same wherever she goes.

(CHORUS)

She’ll slide right up next to me in the front seat of my GMC.
Don’t put no-one but the Good Lord up above me
Gets mad as the Devil when we’re late for church
Shows up early every day to work
She knows how to bait a hook boys, trust me.

(I’m Talkin’ Country) She’s got a good heart, a saved soul, knows every shortcut off of Red Oak Road. Loves takin’ her time, speakin’ her mind, and stittin’ with me on the porch all the time! She’s got my back, my last name. Say’s “There’s your two things that’ll never change.” I’m talkin’ country.


4. SOMEBODY LIKE ME (3:20)
Regie Hamm
BBGB Music (SESAC). All rights reserved. Used by permission.

I never was the prayin’ kind. I never knew what to say. I always thought God was somewhere out there, a million miles away. Watchin’ everything I did. Waitin’ to strike me down. Until I did a little readin’ and this is what I found...

(CHORUS)
Jesus was a workin’ man, they said he was a long hair. Some kind of roughneck redneck rebel from Galilee. A healer with callused hands, not afraid to fight and bleed. Well maybe somebody like that could love somebody like me.

I think if he was here today, he’d hang around us simple souls. I think he’d watch football games and Nascar, I think he’d like rock and roll. He’d be down at the local bar, takin’ his best friends keys. He’d probably volunteer down there at the mission, Especially on Christmas Eve Oh!!!

(CHORUS)

An ordinary carpenter in ordinary clothes. He didn’t have to come down to Earth, but Heaven Knows!
(CHORUS)

A healer with callused hands, not afraid to fight and bleed. Well maybe somebody like that can love somebody like me! Maybe somebody like that could love somebody like me. ‘Cause Jesus was a workin’ man.


5. EASY **(3:04)
Thom McHugh, Michael Logan
Ole’ Music Group. Combustion Entertainment. All Rights Reserved. Used by permission.

I don’t know why they say that love takes so much work.
Claim its a losing game that’s gonna get you hurt.
Might be that way for most. I really wouldn’t know.


(CHORUS)
‘Cause you make it easy, easy for me. Don’t even have to try to, love you. It just comes naturally. And maybe they’re right. Maybe it’s true. Love can be hard sometimes but you make it easy.
You’re laugh your look your kiss your hands under my shirt.
The way you read my mind when I can’t find the words.
I want to spend the rest of my life counting the reasons why

(CHORUS x2)
So what if their right, so what if it’s true. It don’t really matter much ‘cause you know just what to say, know just what to do. Love can be hard sometimes but you make it easy.

Oh, so easy. You make it easy. Oh, so easy.



6. MISSING YOU* (3:45)
AJ Clark, Wes Cleve Clark, Frank Myers Sony ATV/AJ and Cleve's Publishing Company (BMI). All Rights Reserved. Used By Permission.

The hardest thing I have to do is walk away, leaving you. That long stretch of lonesome’s callin’ out my name. I got a job to do.
When the sun sets I know we’ll be miles apart, but you’ll stay on my mind till you’re back in my arms.

(CHORUS)
I’ll be missing you, callin’ home every night that I’m gone.
Just to hear you say you miss me too.
I’ll be countin down every day, praying God will keep you safe.
Until the Highway leads me back to you, I’ll be missing you

Every town has a name, but their just dots on an old road map. They ain’t home.
I catch myself in the rearview mirror lookin’ back, when I’m alone.
Truck stop coffee, red tail lights pushing through the pourin’ rain.
A day, a week, a month. To me it’s all the same.

(CHORUS)
I’ll be missing you. Oh girl, I’ll be missing you!
(Chorus)
Yea, yea. The hardest thing I have to do is walk away. Leaving you.

"THERE'S STILL A PLACE FOR THAT" 6 PAK LYRICS

1. THERE’S STILL A PLACE FOR THAT* (2:43)
Jon Michael Henderson, Neal Coty
Murrah Music Corporation (BMI)/Bug Music (BMI) Administered by Bug. All Rights Reserved. Used By Permission.
Old dirt roads that’ll never get paved. A walk and talk that are one in the same. Old men at the feed store chewing the fat. There’s still a place for that.

Thou shalt not on a courthouse square. Blue ribbon cake at the county fair. A country singer in a cowboy hat. A front porch light and a welcome mat.

Chorus
There’s still a place for that, There’s still a place for that
Yes, sir. No, ma’am. Thank you. Please. Man, I got you’re back.
AM Radio. A Fleetwood Cadillac. Yea, there’s still a place for that.
No first kiss till the second date. Watchin’ your mouth, cleanin’ your plate.
Kids puttin’ pennies on the railroad track, a Sunday shirt and a pair of slacks

(CHORUS) A little home sweet home. Plum off the map. Yea, there’s still a place for that.

A little less cool, old school, livin’ by the Golden Rule. Doin’ unto others what you wanted them to do for you (aw yea). A little turtle dove, true love, stayin when it get’s tough. Meanin’ what you say on the day that you said, “I do.” I’m tellin’ you, there’s still a place for that!

(CHORUS)

In a world like this, there’s still a place, there’s still a place....for that!


2. YOU’RE GETTIN WARM** (3:15)

I said baby how bout us dressin’ up and going out, she said, “No.” Well how bout then we call up a few friends, she said, “No.” Baby let me guess from that wine you just poured, I need to build us a fire and make a bed on the floor..

(CHORUS) She said, “Your gettin’ warm, your gettin’ close. Keep going where you’re going, you’re on the right road. Almost there, try that again. Oh, Keep the kisses coming up and down my skin. Baby stay right where you are, you’re gettin warm.”

I said what if I did just a little more of this, she said, “Yes.” Would I be on track with another touch of that? She said, “Yes.”

Is my takin your breath away starting to work? Are we bout to the place it’s more heaven than earth?

CHORUS
Its a teasing little game she likes to play and I play right along, when I hear her say You’re gettin’ warm....

Almost there, try that again. Oh keep the kisses coming up and down my skin
Baby stay right where you are
Yea, baby so good so far... You’re gettin’ warm.... mmm... You’re gettin’ warm.

3. DOWN HOME BOY (3:05)
Patrick Jason Mathews, Jon Michael Henderson. Universal Music Publishing/ Murrah Music Corporation (BMI)/Bug Music (BMI) Administered by Bug. All Rights Reserved. Used By Permission.

Born twenty miles outside of town, up a road only trucks and tractor’s go down.
Two bare feet’s how you got around, growin up a down home boy.
Ate what we planted in the ol red clay, sun burned from workin’ in the field a day.
You use what you learn in the FFA , growing up a down home boy.

(CHORUS) Down home boys have roots that don’t break loose and pull up in the first hard rain. They got grandma’s bible, grandpa’s rifle and well water in their veins.
Could-a cut my first tooth on a silver spoon. Thank God I had no choice
But to grow a little backbone, growin’ up a down home boy.

Pull your rusty bucket in that four year school, your Co-Op cap and your boots ain’t cool.
The frat daddy’s all make fun of you for growing up a down home boy.
But between that football scholarship and datin’ that sorority president
And that degree you proved it don’t hurt a bit, growing up a down home boy.

CHORUS

You buy 15 acres off your old man. Have a little baby just a quick as you can.
Then you and your woman get to try your hand at growin’ up a down home boy.
CHORUS

Could-a cut his first tooth on a silver spoon. thank God he’s got no choice

But to grow a little backbone, growing up a down home, grow a little backbone growing up a down home boy, growing up a down home boy!



4. WHISKEY SUNRISE* (4:15)
Andrew Timmons (ASCAP). (C) 2010. All Rights Reserved. Used By Permission.

Willie was a farm boy who lived down to Cotton Patch
His momma and old Pop John raised hogs and skinned muskrats
Every Friday nite they’d get to hollarin’ and carrying on
And Ole' Pop John would run into town and get his liquor on
And he’d drink.. Lord he’d drink

Willie learned real fast to just stay out of his way
Or Sunday mornings there’d be a whole lotta hell to pay
Cuz old Pop John stumbled in at the crack of light
Hallowed eyed he was looking for a fight
And Willie would take his guitar down to the creek and he’d sing

(CHORUS)
Wild Whiskey Sunrise. It’s a good time to get away.
Life cuts from both sides. Like a sharp knife.
You can live or die, on a Whiskey Sunrise.

Willie left for Memphis on the day he turned 18.
Got a job doin’ dishes down off of Beale Street
One night he was singing in the parking lot
A record man said son you can make it to the top
And he sang.. Lord he let it ring!

(CHORUS) Wild Whiskey Sunrise
It’s about time
I got away

A few years later old pop john ran a red light
The EMT’s they said he probably wouldn’t make it thru the night
That Georgia sun was creeping up along those old live oaks
When an eerie sound came across his bedside radio
As he clenched in pain he heard Willie’s final refrain

(CHORUS) Wild Whiskey Sunrise
It’s about time
You had your day


5. THE WORK OF A WOMAN (2:59)
Jon Henderson, Terri Jo Box, Neal Coty
Bug Music.  All Rights Reserved. Used by permission.

He’s waitin’ by himself at the bus stop. Got his homework done and his lunch box.
Hair parted on the left side. Downy fresh shirt and a crease in his Levi’s.
You’re lookin’ at the second grade president. All that didn’t just happen by accident.

(CHORUS)
There’s the work of a woman, the one there behind the scene.
She’s the what you get, in the what you see.
Behind any good man you can bet there’s gonna be the work of a woman!

Boy’s that don’t change when you grow up. You still need a rock with a soft touch.
If we didn’t have her we wouldn’t have a clue. Or a life or a love and a home to come home to. She’s a beautiful smile in our billfolds. And anytime a man does somethin’ right, you gotta know...

(CHORUS)

So when you do the impossible, when you feel unstoppable. And anytime it’s a miracle...

It’s that woman, the one there behind the scene, she’s the what you get in the what you
see. Behind any good man you can bet there’s gonna be...the work of a woman
the one there behind scene, she’s the what you get in the what you see.
Behind any good man you can bet there’s gonna be...the work of a woman.
The work of a woman.


6. SHE JUST PRAYS* (3:30)
Adam Wheeler, Terri Jo Box, Scott Sean White © 2011 Noble Vision Music Group (ASCAP). Administered by Bluewater Music Services Corp. Songs of Merf Music, LLC. ALP2G. All Rights Reserved. Used By Permission.

The farmer prays for rain from that old stubborn sky
So his crops will grow and his great, great grandaddy’s dream won’t die
The doctor prays for steady hands to give that girl more time
And the soldier prays he’s home before the baby’s due
And mama’s, they just pray for you.


(CHORUS)
She’s Callin’ Down the Angels To keep you safe, everyday
She’s prayin’ all the right dreams come true
That you find love, keep your faith, forgive yourself for your mistakes

Everybody’s got a list of things that they ask God to due. But mamma’s, they just pray for you.

From the fevers and the stitched, to every game you ever lost
And every time you took the wheel, whether you knew it or not
She was right there on her knees, pouring out her heart
She don’t talk to God ‘bout all that stuff on the evening news, No mommas they just pray for you.

(CHORUS)

She prays you find love, but even then, you come home every chance you get.

Everybody’s got a list of things, they ask God to do but mammas, they just pray for you. They just pray for you.

"TAILGATE TIME" 2010 SINGLE

TAILGATE TIME
Levi Riggs (BMI), Scott Rottler (ASCAP), Bartek Michael (ASCAP)
(C) 2010. 

I got forty hours behing me and the weekend's just ahead.  Trade my workshirt for a jersey of my favorite team instead.
Tell the Boss I'll see him Monday.  I got important things on my mind.  As far as I'm concerned this weekend's mine!

Chorus
It's Tailgate Time, Tailgate Time, get me off this assembly line. Cuz I got good friends and touchdowns on my mind!  It's Tailgate Time.

Pregame's on the radio.  Cooler's in the bed. Burgers, bratts, and beers. You know my boys gotta get fed.
Tell the wife I'll see her Tuesday. The big game starts at 9....Tell her this extended weekend's mine!!!

Chorus

Bridge
Cuz there's no place that I'd rather be than in the parking lot, my team's down by three.  Blame the referee!  We're gonna win this time!
And the stadium shakes. There's a flag on the play! As the clock ticks down, it's the end of the game and the rivalry is hangin' on the line!

Chorus Chant.

It's Tailgate Time!

(Hey Riggs! While you're in there, get me a them bratts.  Yea, were gonne get 'em this time boys! Only down by three. Comin' to get ya!  Watch out boy's here we come! They're goin' deep!!! Touchdown Baby!)

"F-150" 2010 SINGLE

"F-150"
Levi Riggs (BMI). (C)2009.

I wish I could have you here. One arm wrapped around you, dear.
But you're in my rear-view mirror lookin' back at me.
Once we used to be so close. I smiled with you the most.  About you I would boast, then I had to set you free.

(Chorus)
Wishin' you were here with me in the middle seat of this F-150 in the hot summer heat.
One hand on the wheel, one hand holding you, in the middle seat of my F-150.

It wasn't long ago when I passed you on the road. 
You were in that guy's black truck but you didn't see me.
I saw he made you ride on the passenger side.
It look like the Great Divide, not where you'd want to be.

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
My V-8 won't get up and go since you're gone.  My radio won't play our favorite Alabama songs.

(Chorus)

La La La La La

La La La La La
