Proud To Be Here

Aaron Barker - Chris Wallin - Ira Dean

© Old Red Cape Songs, ASCAP

If I were down to my last dollar sitting on an empty tank
I'd be a dollar richer than I was back in the day
When I was playing for tips and compliments
And half my rent was always spent on beer

Had a thousand dollar stereo and a two hundred dollar truck
A screwed rammer and some cussing always made her start right up
But I tore it up one rainy night going round the curve
When I hit second gear and I'm just proud to be here

Yeah I'm just proud to be on the right side of the dirt
I've been loved and I've been lost and I've been hurt
I leave the hard stuff up to God try not to worry about a whole lot
And I have no regrets for what it's worth
I've been living on borrowed times for years and I'm just proud to be here

I'd like to thank my guardian angels God must have sent his best
Heaven knows they worked their wings off keeping whiskey off my breathe
When I think of all I would have missed
My wife and kids and all that I hold dear

Yeah I'm just proud to be on the right side of the dirt......
Yeah I'm just proud to be on the right side of the dirt...

Yeah I'm just proud to be here
Yeah I'm just proud to be here

Million Dollar View

George Teren - David Lee Murphy

© Blackwood Music, BMI

I don't need to be sittin' on the roof of a high-rise lookin' at the city below
I don't need to be on the beach watchin' that sun sink in the Gulf of Mexico
If I climb to the top of a Colorado mountain
I could see forever from there but I don't have to go anywhere

I've got a million dollar view right here in my livin' room
In this little tin roof house even with the shades pulled down
And the lights turned out I don't need to go to some exotic place
To see the kinda thing that takes my breath away
No all I gotta do is look at you and I've got a million dollar view

When I see you layin' there in that sexy nightgown
It burns me down deep in my soul
You're a livin' work of art
A sight that would inspire the likes of Michelangelo
If I took a telescope and pointed it to heaven
I wouldn't find nothin' up there
That compares to what I got right here

I've got a million dollar view...

I don't need to go to some exotic place
To see the kind of thing that takes my breath away
No all I gotta do is look at you
You know the truth is I don't know if a million would get it

You're my million dollar view yeah just lookin' at you
You're my million dollar view

Days Like This

Casey Beathard - Kenny Beard - Trace Adkins

© West Far Music, BMI

I can smell that fresh coffee beginnin' to brew
From the swing on this deck with a heck of a view
Of the sun burnin' steam off the lake and the dew off the ground

The weatherman's callin' for clear as can be
And I believe that he's right
'Cause my stubborn left knee is feelin' awful dang good
And that's just what I'm needin' right now

So don't bring me the paper don't turn on the news
If it'll fire me up keep it away from my fuse
If the world's goin' to hell let it go I'll just blow it a kiss
Don't wanna think about things like that on days like this

Some days are just made for a big change of plans
So bring me your body and baby let's dance
You're all that I want on my mind and my hands right now
Right now baby

So don't bring me the paper don't turn on the news...
No don't bring me the paper don't turn on the news...
On days like this days like this not today baby

That's What You Get

Rivers Rutherford - Kenny Beard - Aly Cutter

© MCA Music, ASCAP

On the way home I thought better stop before it closes
And get some pretty things for pretty thing
Here I come through the door bringing you more roses
Whatever else you want from me

Right now baby I'm just here for you
I'll do anything you ask me to

That's what you get for loving me
Two strong arms and a heart that won't stop for anything
The kind of man a woman needs
That's what you get that's what you get for loving me
Yeah for loving me

I know you've heard it all before you don't like big talkers
Well look who you're talking to
I ain't just carrying on it's a promise not an offer
I'll have your way with you

Honey I ain't leaving nothing out
And even things you never thought about

That's what you get for loving me
Two strong arms and a heart that won't stop for anything
The kind of man a woman needs
That's what you get that's what you get for loving me

You want a man to hold you who's never gonna quit
Girl I already told you when you love me that's what you get

That's what you get for loving me
Two strong arms and a heart that won't stop for anything
The kind of man a woman needs
That's what you get that's what you get
That's what you get for loving me

For loving me baby that's what you get
That's what you get for loving me

Just Fishin'

Casey Beathard - Monty Criswell - Ed Hill

© Five Hills Music, BMI

I'm lost in her there holdin' that pink rod and reel
She's doin' almost everything but sittin' still
Talkin' bout her ballet shoes and trainin' wheels
And her kittens and she thinks we're just fishin'

I say daddy loves you baby one more time
She says I know I think I got a bite
And all this laughin' and cryin' smilin'
Dyin' here inside's what I call livin'

And she thinks we're just fishin' on the riverside
Throwin' back what we could fry
Drownin' worms and killin' time
Nothin' too ambitious

She ain't even thinkin' bout
What's really goin' on right now
But I guarantee this memory's a big gun
And she thinks we're just fishin'

She's already pretty like her mama is
Gonna drive the boys all crazy give her daddy fits
And I better do this every chance I get
'Cause time is tickin' yeah it is

And she thinks we're just fishin' on the riverside...

She ain't even thinkin' bout...

She ain't even thinkin' bout...

Yeah oh she thinks we're just fishin'
We ain't only fishin' this ain't about fishin'

It's A Woman Thang

Craig Wiseman - Jim Collins

© Warner-Tamerlane Pub, BMI

You got a closet full of clothes and nothin' to wear
The whole day depends on the mood of your hair
You got forty-five names for the color of red
She says boy when you gonna get it through your head

It's a woman thang you wouldn't understand
Just adjust your mind 'cause you're just a man
There's a whole lot goin' on that you don't get
In the complicated workin's of the opposite sex
Don't strain your brain tryin' to figure out what it means
Baby don't you know know it's a woman thang

Towels in the bathroom I better not use
Baby tell me again why you got so many shoes
You go to Wal-Mart K-Mart Neimans and Saks
You shop all day and then you take it all back

It's a woman thang you wouldn't understand...

Maybe I should watch some Oprah
Bubble bath sit on the sofa
Maybe take a Cosmo quiz or two
Maybe all I need's a hug from Fred or Bubba or Big W
Perhaps I'll come to see your point of view
Naw it's a woman thang

Yeah it's a woman thang you wouldn't understand
Just adjust your mind 'cause you're just a man
I'm a lady in red I'm a daddy's girl
I'm a force to be reckoned with in heels and pearls
Now and then if I make you wanna scream
Baby don't you know know it's a woman thang

It's a woman thang you wouldn't understand
Might change my mind just because I can
I'm a dream come true I'm your worst nightmare
I could be your teddy or your grizzly bear
Every now and then when I take it to extremes
Baby don't you know know feelin' like a yo-yo
I'll tell you from the word go
It's a woman thang it's a woman thang
We don't understand cause it's a woman thang

Love Buzz

Casey Beathard - Kendall Marvel

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Everyone's asking me boy what's got into you
They think I've been living on the sauce
I walk around smiling like I feel no pain at all
I guess I don't but that's because

I got a little love buzz I'm flying like a kite does
Higher than the sky got me feeling right better than the booze does
I'm sober as an old judge I'll tell you right now
Cause my baby she's a good drug I got a little love buzz

Seems all I want to do is get to where she is
And belly up to her again yeah
And I'll take all she's got cause she is the top shelf kind
She keeps me strung out on the bench

I got a little love buzz I'm flying like a kite does...

Well yes sir Occifer I can walk your line
And I can say you're A B C's
No I ain't had a drop and I don't smoke that stuff
If you gotta know then I'll come clean here's the truth

I got a little love buzz I'm flying like a kite does...

My baby she's a good drug I got a little love buzz
You feel a little love buzz strung all night
I'm feeling a little light headed
Little love buzz little love buzz little love buzz

It's Who You Know

Rivers Rutherford - Kenny Beard - Wendell Mobley

© Warner-Tamerlane Pub, BMI

The quarterback down at the school
Makes all the rules cause he's super cool
And everybody wants to be just like him
There's a little girl in his home room class
Sits in the back cause she thinks she's fat
Looking for a corner she can hide in

In life there ain't too many level playing fields
And it don't seem fair but here's the deal
Brother here's the deal

You can walk on water you can walk on the moon
You can walk through Memphis wearing blue suede shoes
When the walking is over at the end of the road
It ain't what you done son it's who you know
Yeah it's who you know

Meet the man who owns it all
That's him there on the lobby wall
Don't he look like he's been carved from granite
His hands are soft his heart is hard
And he only smokes the best cigars
And you call him 'Sir' 'cause he's earned it dammit

There's a little old lady cleaning her back to him at night
And she prays someday that he'll see the light
Man I think she's gotten right

You can walk on water you can walk on the moon
You can walk through Memphis wearing blue suede shoes
When the walking is over at the end of the road
It ain't what you done son it's who you know
Yeah it's who you know

At the end of the road it's who you know

You can walk on water you can walk on the moon
You can walk through Memphis wearing blue suede shoes
When the walking is over at the end of the road
It ain't what you done son it's who you know
It ain't what you done son it's who you know

Poor Folks

Phillip Moore - Ray Scott

© Green Dog Music, BMI

with Blake Shelton

We've got a Styrofoam cooler
In the back of my old Ford truck
And we're reaching over the side for brew
Cause the tailgates stuck

A couple of lines in the water hey I think you've got a bite
I wonder what the poor folks are doing tonight

We could have drove this old truck on into town
And caught the nine o'clock show
But I'd just as soon be sitting here with you
Listening to the radio

I've got your name on my left arm
And your body in my right
I wonder what the poor folks are doing tonight

The ones out there who ain't got nothin' on us
They got everything else in this world but it ain't enough
Wishing they were the owners of a love like yours and mine
I wonder what the poor folks are doing tonight

The truth is you and me
We can't buy a whole lotta fancy nice things
And we ain't on no first name basis
With the folks down at the bank

But we know we've got it all when we turn out the lights
I wonder what the poor folks are doing tonight

The ones out there who ain't got nothin' on us
They got everything else in this world but it ain't enough
Wishing they were the owners of a love like yours and mine
I wonder what the poor folks are doing tonight
I wonder what the poor folks are doing tonight
Baby you know we got the life

Always Gonna Be That Way

Dallas Davidson - Chris Tompkins

© Gutter And Grace Music, BMI

Summer turns this town to dust
And it don't rain the farmer's curse
But they break the ground then they make the hay
And it's always gonna be that way

Their old field hands bailey up to the bar
With new tattoos and football scars
They go on and on 'bout the good old days
And it's always gonna be that way

And the young kids still park up on the hill
About two feet under the stars
And the old men stood take off their hands
And they hold them over their hearts

I still get chills down in my bones
Every time I see your face
And it's always gonna be that way

That little white church is gonna have a crowd
Every time the Sunday rolls around
Yeah we read the book and we all pray
And it's always gonna be that way

And the young kids still spark up on the hill
About two feet under the stars
And the old men stood take off their hands
And they hold them over their hearts

I still get chills down in my bones
Every time I hear your name
And it's always gonna be that way

Some people even don't come back
Chase their dreams down a one way track
Maybe I'm all yours I'm here to stay
And it's always gonna be that way
Yeah it's always gonna be that way
