Two Lanes Of Freedom

Jaren Johnston - Jennifer Schott

Two hearts two bucket seats too much sun not to wear shades
Boot to the pedal and pedal to the metal we're the reason this road was paved yeah
Now honey how fast you wanna go Nascar driving Miss Daisy
Radio loud radio low or I can sing if you want me to baby

I can tell God's smiling down I just get that feeling
You and me going town to town on two lanes of freedom

Oh no red lights or stop signs around for miles
Just swaying trees your hair in the breeze and that smile and I know
God made old country roads for driving and dreaming
Mine's coming true girl here with you on two lanes of freedom
Two lanes of freedom

Bottle of wine and a cheap motel door twelve feet from the road
Watch the sunset holding hands and talk about where we're gonna go
So where you wanna go (where you wanna go)
Where you wanna go (where you wanna go)
Where you wanna go (where you wanna go)
Where you wanna go (where you wanna go)

Babe there's no red lights or stop signs around for miles
Just swaying trees your hair in the breeze and that smile and I know
God's working down from that sky blue ceiling
He made these old country roads for driving and dreaming
Mine's coming true girl here with you on two lanes of freedom
Two lanes of freedom two lanes of freedom
Two lanes of freedom

One Of Those Nights

Luke Laird - Rodney Clawson - Chris Tompkins

She's getting dressed up putting on that lipstick
Shimmy shaking right into them cut-offs baby oh yeah
You're getting off work cashing out that paycheck
Gotta change that shirt and pick that girl up on her front step
Here she comes now looking so fine
You've been waiting on this night for such a long long time

She slides in and you roll down Main Street
You turn right when that red light turns green
Sun sets now you're half way to heaven
She picks a song you turn it up to eleven
You say do you wanna and she says hell yeah
So you hit the party all your buddies are jealous

Someday you'll be looking back on your life
At the memories this is gonna be one of those nights

Crowded backyard everybody's laughing
Kinda party next week you'll say I was there when it happened
Coming up on midnight 'bout time to get gone
And then the DJ starts to play your favorite song
You slow dance for 3 minutes or so and then she whispers baby let's go

And when she slides in and she gives you the green light
You hold off 'til you turn on the headlights

Someday when you're looking back on your life
At the memories this is gonna be one of those nights
Yeah one of those nights

Full moon through a crack in the windshield
You hold her close and you'll never forget how her heartbeat feels
No you never will

'Cause someday when you're looking back on your life
At the memories this is gonna be one of those nights

Yeah one of those nights one of those nights
Yeah one of those nights one of those nights oh
One of those nights this is gonna be hey
This is gonna be one of those nights

Friend Of A Friend

Mark Irwin - Josh Kear - Andrew Dorff

I heard it from a friend of a friend
You're living out in LA now
Got a studio apartment couple blocks off the beach
Doing yoga in the evenings you love the kids you teach

I heard it from a friend of a friend
You met somebody in a coffee shop
You've been going out now for going on ten months
You already met his family things are heating up

Don't you believe anything you hear
When someone tells you I still ask about you
After all these years
No matter what they say it's just not true
I don't spend all my days and all my nights
Just missing you

I heard it from a friend of a friend
You looked amazing in that long white gown
With flowers in your hair barefoot in the sand
Your daddy almost broke down when he gave away your hand

But don't you believe anything you hear...

I heard it from a friend of a friend
He didn't mean it when he took those vows
You've been staying with your mama a couple weeks now
Been asking everybody about me

I heard it from a friend of a friend
I heard it from a friend of a friend

Southern Girl

Jaren Johnston - Rodney Clawson - Lee Miller

Now I ain't saying them LA ladies don't know what they're doing
And I been in love with New York City a time or two
I had some Seattle coffee some Chicago wind
Some Kansas wheat fields I'd love to see again
But the fireflies play where the cattails grow
And them southern girls they talk nice and slow with

Kisses sweeter than Tupelo honey
Little bit crazy like New Orleans
Memphis blue and Daytona sunny
Soft as cotton in some cut off jeans
Don't you know
Ain't nothing in the whole wide world
Like a southern girl

Southern girl rock my world hazel eyes and golden curls
Put on a country song we'll dance all night long

A southern girl's mama probably taught her how a lady should act
But a southern girl's probably got a barn somewhere reared out back
She'll get a little hay in her hair her tires in the mud
She's been caught in the rain and washed in the blood
Likes cherries in her Coke takes a little sip
Comes over to me with them sunburned lips and them

Kisses sweeter than Tupelo honey...

Southern girl rock my world Hazel eyes and golden curls
Put on a country song we'll dance all night long

If you've ever seen Savannah heat up when the stars come out
Well then fellas come on you know what I'm talking about

Kisses sweeter than Tupelo honey...

Southern girl rock my world put on a country song

Southern girl rock my world hazel eyes and golden curls
Put on a country song we'll dance all night long

Southern girl rock my world Hazel eyes and golden curls
Put on a country song we'll dance all night long

Southern girl rock my world hazel eyes and golden curls
Put on a country song we'll dance all night long

Southern girl rock my world hazel eyes and golden curls
Put on a country song we'll dance all night long

Nashville Without You

Kyle Jacobs - Joe Leathers - Ruston Kelly

It'd be just another river town
Streets would have a different sound
There'd be no honky-tonks with whiskey rounds
No dreamers chasin' dreams down

No tourists takin' in the sights
No Stetsons under Broadway lights
No pickers playin' for pocket change
No rhinestone boots on an old church stage

Hey Blue Eyes Cryin' In The Rain
Hey Fire Burnin' Round The Ring
Hey Crazy you know it's true
That Nashville wouldn't be Nashville without you

No ghost of the man in black
No long white Cadillac
No woman standin' by her man
In the place where it all began

Hey Good Lookin' hey Mama Tried
Hey Gambler hey Country Boy Can Survive
Hey Jolene you know it's true
That Nashville wouldn't be Nashville without you

Hey Georgia hey Smokey Mountain Rain
Hey Galveston He Stopped Loving Her Today
Hey Fancy you know it's true
That Nashville wouldn't have

Blue Eyes Cryin' In The Rain
Hey Fire Burnin' Round The Ring
Hey Crazy you know it's true
That Nashville wouldn't be Nashville without you

It'd be just another river town
Streets would have a different sound

Book Of John

Greg Becker - Jon Nite

We were sitting round the supper table and the buzz of the Frigidaire
Was the only sound 'til mamma laid down a book she found upstairs
It was covered in dust in the back of the closet
Goodwill box we almost tossed it out
We could have lost all those memories

There was a picture of mama in the pouring rain
Ticket stubs to a Braves game
Silver star and a baggage claim from Hanoi Vietnam
There was a picture of him calling on grandpa
Leather skin from a baseball
We laughed and cried told stories all night long
From the Book of John

Now the pot of coffee's almost gone as we turn another page
We're climbing on him like a Jungle Jim watching his hair turn gray
All the Polaroids are just reminders
You can't hold life in a three-ring binder
We flipped on through 'em anyway

There's a picture at his sister taken in July
On the steps of the church pulling out his tie
Hair's still wet from getting baptized the brand new blue suit on
An old set of keys to his Chevrolet
A crumpled up receipt for a wedding ring
We watched ourselves grow up there in his arms
In the Book of John

That sun came up we were wide awake
Head to toe in black and gray
Long black Lincoln waiting down the drive
He was father son husband and friend
I still flip through it every now and then
When I need just a few words of advice
It's almost like he's not really gone
And I know one day I'll be passing on
The Book of John

Mexicoma

Brad Warren - Brett Warren - James Slater

I'm sitting here stoned at Tortilla Jo's
Nobody knows my name and that's alright with me
She said adios so I said hello
Don Julio top shelf self help remedy

Sure was good to know you
I still wanna hold ya
But I know it's over
You ain't coming back
This ain't California
I'm somewhere south of the border
I'm in a Mexicoma
My my my my my my Mexicoma
I know it's over
But the sun still shines on a fool like me

You pulled the plug on what I thought was love
But I got just enough juice to forget about you and squeeze this lime
I can see the ocean (I can see the ocean)
I can feel the breeze (I can feel the breeze)
Almost can't remember how you left me down here on my knees

Sure was good to know you...

I'm sitting here stoned at Tortilla Jo's
And nobody knows my name and that's alright with me

My my my my my my Mexicoma I know it's over
I'm in a Mexicoma my my my my my my Mexicoma
I know it's over I'm in a Mexicoma
My my my my my my Mexicoma I know it's over
I'm in a Mexicoma my my my my my my Mexicoma
I know it's over
But the sun still shines on a fool like me

Number 37405

Tom Douglas - Troy Jones

Oh he listens to the countdown every Sunday morning
From a cold solitary prison cell
And the music from his radio is like freedom down a dirt road
Makes that eight by ten a brighter hell

Before he started doing all the hard time that he's doing
He was singing in them honky tonks and dives
He dreamed of being somebody now he's number 37405

Well she used to come and see him every other weekend
And bring him all the news from way back home
It's been two birthdays since he's kissed her
Five seconds since he's missed her
Now the perfume on those letters ain't that strong

He's got too much time to think about the night he had too much to drink
And all his buddies they begged him not to drive
Mr Life of the Party is now number 37405

Old judge on the bench said Son your crime's got consequences
It's what he told him fifteen years ago
He took a life and that's a fact he'd give his own to give it back
Today's the day he finally gets parole

He turns in them prison clothes and stands there at the fork in the road
And mama prays and waits while he decides
And the angels close their eyes

Listens to the birds sing on a perfect autumn morning
Just down the road rings an old church bell

It's Your World

Scott Stepakoff - Josh Osborne - Shane McAnally

Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey

It's your bed that we sleep in
It's your smile up on the wall
It's your night it's your weekend
And when it's over it's your call
Your rain your sky your sunshine in my eyes
Your end your beginning
It's your world I'm just living in it

You leave your mark on everything that you touch
You're painting my heart with your calico brush
The air that I breathe the water I drink the dirt beneath my feet
No matter how you spin it
It's your world baby I'm just living in it

Hey hey hey hey hey hey

I'm holding on for dear life for just one more time around
Hoping that you might drop by
The next time you pass through my town
Your lows your highs I hang on your goodbyes
Every second every minute
It's your world baby I'm just living in it

You leave your mark on everything that you touch
You're painting my heart with your calico brush
The air that I breathe the water I drink the dirt beneath my feet
No matter how you spin it
It's your world baby I'm just living in it

Cause I know it's turning without me
And it ain't all about me it's all about you

You leave your mark on everything that you touch
You're painting my heart with your calico brush
The air that I breathe the water I drink the dirt beneath my feet

You leave your mark on everything that you touch
You're painting my heart with your calico brush
The air that I breathe the water I drink the dirt beneath my feet
No matter how you spin it
It's your world baby I'm just living in it
I'm just a map dot on your planet
It's your world baby I'm just living in it

Hey hey hey hey hey hey

Highway Don't Care

Mark Irwin - Josh Kear - Brad Warren - Brett Warren

with Taylor Swift & Keith Urban

Bet your window's rolled down and your hair's pulled back
And I bet you got no idea you're going way too fast
You're trying not to think about what went wrong
Trying not to stop till you get where you going
You're trying to stay awake so I bet you turn on the radio
And the song goes

I can't live without you I can't live without you baby
I can't live without you I can't live without you baby baby

The highway won't hold you tonight
The highway don't know you're alive
The highway don't care if you're all alone
But I do I do
The highway won't dry your tears
The highway don't need you here
The highway don't care if you're coming home
But I do I do

I bet you got a dead cell phone in your shotgun seat
Yeah I bet you're bending God's ear talking 'bout me
You're trying not to let the first tear fall out
Trying not to think about turning around
You're trying not to get lost in the sound but that song is always on
So you sing along

I can't live without you I can't live without you baby
I can't live without you I can't live without you baby baby

The highway won't hold you tonight...

I can't live without you I can't live without you baby
I can't live without you I can't live without you baby baby
The highway don't care the highway don't care
The highway don't care but I do I do

I can't live without you I can't live without you baby...
I can't live without you I can't live without you baby...
I can't live without you I can't live without you baby...

I can't live without you I can't live without you baby
