Headstands 03:20
lyrics
buy track
Used to be your own man Stuck to your own plan Kept to your own time Did it on your own dime Now you’re putting on a new face Moving at new pace Lightin’ up a new scene Bowin’ to a new queen And I say hey, hey, what do you say? You shuck and you jive when she lookin’ your way Ooh, ohh, what do you do? She got you doing headstands You were headin’ for a breakdown She caught you on a rebound Showed a little backside And hit you like landslide She got you in a deep freeze Put you down on your knees Got all up in your kitchen Became your new religion And I say hey, hey, what do you say? You shuck and you jive when she lookin’ your way Ooh, ohh, what do you do? She got you doing headstands Yes, yes, she shimmy that dress You're walkin' real tall like you wanna impress Oh, no, where’d ya go? She got you doing headstands Who's that girl got you running around Got you upside down Acting like a wannabe? Tell me who’s that daisy driving you crazy? I’m thinking she looks just a little like me

No Honor 03:21

You don’t honor me when you weave your way to the back door You don’t honor me when your take home pay don’t make it home You don’t honor me when you say what you’re really thinkin’ You don’t honor me when you prevaricate like you ain’t been drinkin’ Mama didn't raise no fool You don’t honor me When you say her name while I wash your face When you sleep all night in your moth-eaten chaise When you say it’ll be the last time When you make me say I believe you (No honor) You ain’t no king (No honor) But you got that thing (No honor) That makes me wanna stay Cuz when the sun comes up and the boots come off You can make it all up in the morning I don’t honor you when I dance on the bar like I’m Coyote Ugly I don’t honor you when I post a bathroom selfie I don’t honor you when I hang on the boys like an old t-shirt I don’t honor you when I pass out face down in the dirt (No honor) I ain’t no queen (No honor) I'm like your nicotine (No honor) You just can’t keep away Cuz when the sun comes up and the boots come off I can make it all up in the morning You got leftovers in the fridge The bills are on the table I went out for just a smidge Be home soon as I'm able I'm (Don't wait up) (No honor) You ain’t no king (No honor) But you got that thing (No honor) That makes me stay (No honor) I ain’t no queen (No honor) I'm like your nicotine (No honor) You just can’t keep away Cuz when the lights go down and the whiskey flows Ain’t no time for honor, everybody knows But come time when the rooster crows We can make it all up in the morning

Giving Up On You 03:46

The 1449 commuter out of Memphis Last one off the train and it’s not you In my F150 I got a six pack and some takeout Looks like it’s gonna be just me and the moon again You know your words drip out like honey Too sweet to believe And I’ve become a tragic figure in this story that you weave But now I’m giving up on you So do what you want to Go where you need to Cuz I’m giving up on you And your alibis You say that you want me You tell me you need me You whisper I’m the only one But those are lies I got your body on my mind and your picture in a locket I got your toothbrush, your daddy’s watch, and your laundry to do I got the first love note you wrote me folded right here in my pocket I got all your late night promises but I ain’t got you And I hate myself for always tryin’ to see your better side But I know myself I know I gave enough to say I tried I’m giving up on you Now there's been too many years That I won't be getting back And I’ve cried too many tears Down these many miles of track I've been waiting for an angel On this godforsaken line Damn that 1449 I’m giving up on you

You know I wear high heels to the grocery and a mini skirt in church I got a pocket full of charm, a little attitude in my purse I won’t set foot outside my door without putting on my face I’m the girl that you wanna be and the woman that you love to hate I’m gonna shake what my momma gave me Gonna flaunt what I know I got Cuz I was born to play the game And I’m gonna come out on top I’m gonna shake what my momma gave me Ain’t nobody gonna make me stop You'd best not try to tame me Gonna shake what my momma gave me Shake what my momma gave me, yeah Shake, shake, what my momma gave me I sleep with my brassiere on just like Marylin Monroe I keep perfume in my glovebox cuz you never know My lips are always glistening like I just bit a Georgia peach You might think I got a head that’s full of air, but let me tell you this blonde ain’t bleach I’m gonna shake what my momma gave me Gonna flaunt what I know I got Cuz I was born to play the game And I’m gonna come out on top I’m gonna shake what my momma gave me Ain’t nobody gonna make me stop No ya don't dare try to shame me Gonna shake what my momma gave me Shake what my momma gave me, yeah Shake, shake (what my momma gave me) Ain’t not fakin’ the way she’s shakin’ everybody feel the room get hot mom In the tight blue jean damn near obscene boys are thinking 'bout you know what Her eyes say eat your heart out boys, she hit you like a whiskey straight She more tasty looking than a momma’s cooking, don’t you wanna fill up your plate Gonna watch her shake I’m gonna shake what my momma gave me Gonna flaunt what I know I got Cuz life’s too short to play it safe And I wanna go out on top I’m gonna shake (pause) what my momma gave me Cuz it ain’t your job to save me It ain’t your job to save me It ain’t your job to save me Gonna shake what my momma gave me, yeah

Ain't As Easy As You Drink I Am 03:31

I bet you were a tall drink of water when you walked into this place seven hours ago But ten drinks later, just look at your face, three sheets and they’re ready to blow The lights are barely on in this bar but I can see what you’re Thinkin’ that your chances look up the more you’re drinking So belly on up and throw another one down And keep telling yourself you’re the man But it ain't your night, mister And I ain’t your woman Cuz I ain’t as easy as you drink I am Now boys it goes to the muscles, hey yeah, and some boys it goes to the head And sometimes it goes to that particular place that makes 'em think your boots belong by their bed You think you’re some kinda juke joint king You can buy me a drink but I ain't givin' up a thing So belly on up and throw another one down And keep telling yourself you’re the man But it ain't your night, mister no And I ain’t your woman Cuz I ain’t as easy as you drink I am I ain’t as easy as you drink I am So belly on up and throw another one down And turn on the charm if you can But this ain't your night, mister And I ain’t your woman Cuz I ain’t as easy as you drink I am You're spitting out words like some clumsy Casanova and thinking that you got me impressed Something 'bout your truck and your dog and your momma with your eyes tattooed on my chest You’re gonna wake up with devil and pay for your sin But this time tomorrow you can run it back again

Within You 04:04

When your world’s on fire And you can barely breathe And your feet burn hot on the bed of the earth beneath You gotta be cooler You gotta be cooler Just let it flow and you will know The peace of mind that you’re aching for is within you When the gravity pulls So hard you can barely stand And your legs feel like they’re sinking in sand You gotta stand taller You gotta stand taller Take some time to steel and you will feel All the strength that you’re yearning for is within you It’s all within you In your soul And the path you take The life you make Is all in your control It’s all within you everywhere you go When the sky’s so dark You can barely see Not a single star to light your way back to me You gotta search harder You gotta search harder Even if you were blind you would find The one true path that you’re looking for is within you It’s all within you in your soul And the path you take The life you make Is all in your control And there’s just one more thing I want you to know When you’re all alone And you feel so small And life has got your back up against the wall You gotta look deeper You gotta look deeper Let your heart be free and you will see The one true love that you’re looking for is within you One true love inside of you One true love all over you One true love because I’m within you too

Never heard anyone sing about how they started a band on their very first date How he’s always stealing the food that’s on her plate There’s never been a song about how they stayed in their hotel room for 3 days straight And in 13 years they’ve never once been late How he tells one joke and it’s obscene How they share one lucky slot machine How she hid a burnt dinner under their bed Wrote him letters to read when she is dead All the songs they play are all cliche There’s only one way to write this wrong We’re gonna need a new love song Yeah, yeah, we need a new love song Yeah, yeah, we need a new love song Cuz we never found the right one If we really wanna sing along Then baby we can write our own We can write our own love song Never heard anyone sing about how he read his favorite book right over her shoulder How she steals the covers when it gets colder There’s never been a song about how they played board games like it’s world war three How she made him buy a twelve foot Christmas tree How she tore his shirt on New Year’s Eve How misspelled words are their pet peeve How he hides his whiskey in the fridge What they did that night on the Governor’s bridge All the tunes they sing are not our thing And we’re done tryin’ to sing along We really need a new love song Yeah, yeah, we need a new love song Yeah, yeah, we need a new love song Cuz we never found the right one If we really want to sing along Then baby we can write our own We can write our own love song This ain’t no silly little love song It ain’t no song sung blue This ain’t no Elton John It ain’t what Hank would do It’s just a love song written for me and you We need a new love song Yeah, yeah, we need a new love song Yeah, yeah, we need a new love song Cuz we never found the right one So let’s write our own love song Yeah, yeah, we’ll write our own love song Yeah, yeah, we’re gonna write our own love song Cuz we never found the right one And if we really wanna sing along Then baby we can write our own We can write our own love song

Girl you’d be adorable if you would cut your hair Girl you could fit in if you would change the clothes you wear Girl you’d have more friends if you’d pretend you’re having fun Girl you’d have a boy if you’d learn to bite your tongue Well you only read the cover Never knew me through and through If you did then you’d discover There’s more to me than you So won’t you let me be Let me be me Said let me be Let me be me Cuz you only see what you want to see So just let me be Let me be me Baby you’d be prettier if you would only smile Baby you’d be tighter if you’d run another mile Baby you’d be happier if you’d pop a pill Baby you’d a had a ring if knew how to chill You think you know me inside out But you ain’t got a clue If you did then you would know There’s more to me than you Your black and white world could never capture me Cuz I got so many colors that you’ll never see So now I gotta break, gotta break free Don't care what you think Don't care what you do Ain't no dirty secret There's more to me than you

You can't choose your family or where it is that you come from But if your heart calls out for country you can go and get you some Just cuz they call you Yankee don't mean you don't belong Cuz the redneck in you comes alive when they play that country song So if you're drinking a Martini but you want an ice cold beer Just show your country sassafras and get your ass down here And if you're driving a Mercedes but you wish it was a truck Take a drive down 95 cuz we don't give a damn You am what you am You'll be whistling Dixie in good time When you toe the Mason Dixon line No you can't choose your name, and you can't choose your maker But you can't put your boots down in the ground of a small town country acre Just cuz they called 'em rebels don't mean no choosing sides Cuz a country heart beats keeping time nationwide So if you say you guys when you really mean y'all You can say whatever's on your mind if you say it with a drawl If you're nibblin on some sushi but you're craving shrimp and grits Just belly up in this honky tonk cuz we don't give two hoots Go and get yourself some boots And step along that old grapevine Toe the Mason Dixon line You can't choose your family Or where it is that you come from So if your head's in New York City but your heart's in Tennessee You're never more than a country mile from where you're meant to be And if you wish your suit and tie was a t-shirt and a cap You can show the world what God gave you Cuz we don't give a lick Down here in the sticks In the sweet shade of southern pine Everything will be just fine You know you’ll find your peace of mind When you toe the Mason Dixon line

You give me all you got and a little bit more You hold my hand, you hold my door You turn my water into wine You light my way when the sun don’t shine You answer my call any time of day You listen to every word I say You tell me I’m right when you know I’m wrong You wait for me no matter how long And I may be a mystery Cuz your best is never enough I got a complicated history And I can play a little rough When I make you prove your love I’m gonna hang my cross on you Boy, you know I’m gonna hang in my cross on you in I’m gonna hang my cross on you Whatcha gonna do? You carry the weight, boy, looks damn good on you You pick me up when I fall down (ain’t that enough?) You put me together when I break down (ain’t that enough?) Your ready for me every day of the week (ain’t that enough?) So much lovin’ my legs get weak (ain’t that enough?) We all got our scars we pick up along the way And you can promise me the stars But if you’re wantin’ me to stay there’s a game we gotta play Don’t you wonder what you got yourself into? I know I treat you bad but no one wants you like I do So let me hang my cross on you I know you never cheated, I know you never lied Now stand up tall, put your arms out wide Your love is sanctified Your faith is justified You give me your heart, you give me your pride Even the tears you’ve cried Ten feet tall, eight feet wide You’re gonna be crucified Carry that weight, boy, looks damn good on you

Undiscovered 04:28

There’s a girl in New York City She lives all alone Punches the clock every day Works her hands to the bone But when the lights go down it’s a different world She takes out her brushes, she captures the colors Puts them down on the paper You’d swear God had done it himself And she’s destined to be, destined to be undiscovered She’s destined to be, destined to be undiscovered So many people and so many miles in between So many signals, how can we know what they all mean? So many times we appear to look right through each other How do we sleep when so much remains undiscovered? Across town there’s a quiet man He says he can heal with the touch of a hand But no one believes him till the moment they need him the most And around the corner there’s a widowed wife She says she can see into the afterlife But nobody pays her mind To them she’s only a ghost And they are destined to be, destined to be undiscovered They are destined to be, destined to be undiscovered So many people and so many miles in between So many signals, how can we know what they all mean? So many times we appear to look right through each other How do we sleep when so much remains undiscovered?

Why Do I Think About You 03:12

I never liked your music Never liked your voice Never liked the way you acted like one of them boys I never liked your mama Never liked your friends Never liked your damn Mercedes-Benz No we never had a heart to heart Never got off to a good start So why do I think about you? When they pour my drink just a little too strong Why do I think about you? And the radio plays that Emmylou song Why do I think about you? And I catch myself singing along Why do I think about you? Why do I? Why do I? I never liked the way you dressed Never liked your hair Never liked the way you’re always putting on airs Never liked your half smile Never liked your walk Never liked the way you talk just to hear yourself talk No we never saw eye to eye Never got on each other’s good side So why do I think about you? When I wrap myself in my covers at night Why do I think about you? And the moon lights up my room just right Why do I think about you? And I hold my pillow just a little too tight Why do I think about you? Why do I? Why do I? How did you get under my skin How did you get into my bed Why you always on my mind When will you get out of my head? So why do I think about you? When they pour my drink just a little too strong Why do I think about you? And the radio plays that Emmylou song Why do I think about you? And I catch myself singing along Why do I think about you? Why do I? Why do I? So why do I think about you? When I slip down under my covers at night Why do I think about you? And the moon lights up my room just right Why do I think about you? And I hold my pillow just a little too tight Why do I think about you? Why do I? Why do I?

Up In Smoke 05:20

All these plans up in smoke They were real to me Were they real to you Or was it all just a joke Please, please, please I'm down here on my knees Won't you grab the wheel one last time Let it roll It's a funny thing about fortune If it ever looks your way You can take all your gold And get a good hold But somehow it slips away You might get caught up in the thick of things You might get caught up in yourself But don't let the one thing that is real to you Slip away to somebody else Now I'm getting tired of talking And you're tired of listening too And we're good and tired of each other There's only one thing left to do All of those dreams and all of those schemes I guess it's time we finally awoke And burn it all up in smoke
