Here Tonight

Brett Beavers - John Osborne - T.J. Osborne

with Gracie McGraw

Got rambling in my boots
There's a lot of strings that I've cut loose
I ain't afraid of taking flight
But I'd rather be right here tonight
There's a greener grass on down the road
There's a million places left to go
With a brighter moon in a bigger sky
But I'd rather be right here tonight

There's something in the air
There's something in the wine
That something's got me feeling
I ain't packing up and leaving this time
I'd rather be right here tonight

LA to the Outer Banks
Coeur d'alene to Pontchartrain
Yea Colorado got me high
But I'd rather be right here tonight

There's something in the air
There's something in the wine
That something's got me feeling
I ain't packing up and leaving this time
I'd rather be right here tonight

No better place than where you stand
Tear up those tomorrow plans
You only get to live one time
So let's live it up right here tonight

There's something in the air
There's something in the wine
That something's got me feeling
I ain't packing up and leaving this time
There's something in the air
There's something in the wine
That something's got me feeling
I ain't packing up and leaving this time
I'd rather be right here tonight

Losin' You

Tom Douglas - Rodney Clawson - Matt Dragstrem

You're in the blue breeze blowing across the sugar white sand
And the roar of the wheels when I'm trying to land
In a Hank Williams tune and a Coltrane song
In the dead of the night and at the break of dawn
It never gets old and it's always new
Everywhere I go I keep on losing you

In the words of a poet no one reads anymore
In the shadows and sunlight crawling across the floor
In airport lounges in motel rooms
In the Starbucks line under quarter moons
Between the little white lies and the cold hard truth
Is everywhere I am girl I'm still losing you

Yeah you kissed me one last time made that driveway gravel fly
Red taillights lit like a spark just the start of a long goodbye
And some memories just won't fade not a damn thing you can do
So girl if you're long gone how come I keep on losing you

In Seattle and Vegas old rodeos
And lonesome dove and the last picture show
In a truck stop parking lot gasoline rainbow
The burn of the whiskey neon smoke
I close my eyes and you're right there

Yeah you kissed me one last time made that driveway gravel fly...

Missing you red wine slow dance kissing you
Late night driving wishing you were still here
Turning that radio searching for a song to listen to

And some memories just won't fade not a damn thing you can do
So girl if you're long gone how come I keep on losing you
Guess I'll keep holding on and I'll keep on losing you
Missing you red wine slow dance kissing you
Searching for a song to listen to

How I'll Always Be

Chris Janson - Jamie Paulin - Jeremy Stover

I'm a little more beer bottle beer joint than a fancy bar
I'm a little more sitting up high on the road than a little car
I'm a little more bust ya back than take it for free
And that's how I'll always be

I'm a little more lose my temper than to sit on back
I'm a little more ol' Hank Williams than that trendy crap
I love a flat wood ol' front porch made of an old oak tree
And that's how I'll always be

I'll always be a fan of ol' stray dogs and guitars playing
One room churches back road walks and front porch swinging
Sunset skies bonfire nights I love the simple things
That's how I'll always be

I got friends that say I live a little like Cool Hand Luke
Fast cars and motorcycles raising hell in cowboy boots
But hey on Sunday morning I'll take the back row seat
That's how I'll always be

I'll always be a fan of ol' stray dogs and guitars playing
One room churches back road walks and front porch swinging
Sunset skies bonfire nights I love the simple things
That's how I'll always be

I'm a fan of chert rock bouncing off a Chevy fender
That feeling that you get that first time she lets ya kiss her
Rusty roofs that rattle when the rain is falling down
Handshake deals fresh-cut hay fields and hometowns

I'll always be a fan of ol' stray dogs and guitars playing
One room churches back road walks and front porch swinging
Sunset skies bonfire nights I love the simple things
That's how I'll always be that's how I'll always be
That's how I'll always be that's how I'll always be

Damn Country Music

Cary Barlowe - Jessi Alexander - Josh Thompson

I packed it all on a whim
Threw an old Hank cassette tape in
Dad's 84 rusty Ford
He swore we'd never make it
I quit my job let my mama down
Broke an angel's heart on the way out of town
Pulled my roots from the ground

For the hum of wheels on the blacktop
The strum of strings on a flat top
It's a neon fever for a small town dreamer
Tells you everything you have is worth losing
Damn country music

You might get lost in the lights
The things that keep you up all night
Whiskey straight at 3 a.m
Chasing songs in your head
It's the sweetest highs the lowest lows
It's needing yes and hearing no
Just another soul sold believe me I know

It's the hum of wheels on a blacktop...

When the money the fame
The lights on your name
All fade away
Well you'll still be a slave to

The hum of wheels on a blacktop
The strum of strings on a flat top
It's a neon fever for a small town dreamer
Tells you everything you have is worth losing
Damn country music

Love Runs

Brad Warren - Brett Warren - Andrew Dorff

Love walks into a bar
And gets you to buy her a drink
Love walks you out to the dance floor
Right when the band starts to sing
Love walks you to a corner booth
Into her life and back through yours
Love walks you out to her car
Right up to her front door

Then love runs through your veins
Like the wax of a candle flame
The first time that she says your name
And you just come undone
Then love runs through her hair
Like your fingers while you stare
Into her eyes thinking she might be the one
When love walks love runs

Love walks you through the calling
The calling up of her old man
Love walks you down the sandy aisle
To put forever on her hand
Love walks you through the highs and lows
Love walks you to your knees
Love walks you over that burning bridge
Between the fights and I'm sorrys

Then love runs through your veins
A little less night a little more day
There's still a fire there's still a flame
And you know she's still the one
Then love runs you crazy like
A runaway train that runs your life
Way too fast and reckless like a bullet from a gun
Love walks love runs

One day love turns into war
Says I can't do this anymore
Then one day love walks out the door

Then love runs fast as it can
After those tail lights for one more chance
Waving your broken heart in your hands
That kind of coming undone
Then love runs down your face
And it won't stop until she hits the brakes
And you're holding her in your arms
Till that black sky turns to sun
Whoa love walks love runs
Love walks love runs
Whoa yeah whoa oh love walks love runs

What You're Lookin' For

Brett James - Troy Verges - Angelo Petraglia

Baby go on and do what you gotta do
I'll never be the man that you want me too
Just keep me somewhere in your young wild memory
And whenever you finally get to
Wherever your heart leads

I hope you find someone to love
And every dream that you dream of
I'm not the one you need and you know it
You're gonna leave so baby get going
I won't try to stop you anymore
Yeah somewhere on the other side of that front door
I hope you find what you're looking for

This has been coming down for a long long time
I ain't gonna change and I can't change your mind
Just look back on me like a sun-soaked yesterday
And wherever your life leads you
Somewhere along the way

I hope you find someone to love...

I don't wanna slow you down
Don't wanna hold you down
You're better off without me
I just wanna see you smile
Girl I miss your smile
Wanna see you happy

I hope you find someone to love...

Baby go on and do what you gotta do
I'll never be the man that you want me too

Top Of The World

Josh Osborne - Jimmy Robbins - Jon Nite

We could have a little double wide planted in an empty field
We could have a big old white picket wrap around on a hill
Don't make a difference to me baby where the wind takes me long as I'm with you girl
We could have something or nothing still be sitting on top of the world

Cause when you got love like we got love
I'm holding on to heaven holding on to you
When you got one like I got one
Anyway you looking it's a hell of a view

Don't know where we're gonna be
But I know we're gonna be
Sitting on top of the world
So keep hanging on to me
Yeah don't you wanna be
Sitting on top of the world
Top of the world

We could be rolling on a couple of Goodyears and painted rust
We could be strolling barefoot in the sand in the setting sun
Yeah any way you kiss me flips me and gets me the right kind of tipsy girl
We could be somewhere or nowhere and still be sitting on top of the world

'Cause when you got love like we got love
I'm holding on to heaven holding on to you
When you got one like I got one
Anyway you looking it's a hell of a view

Don't know where we're gonna be...

'Cause when you got love like we got love
I'm holding on to heaven holding on to you
When you got one like I got one
Anyway you looking it's a hell of a view
'Cause when you got love like we got love
I'm holding on to heaven holding on to you
When you got one like I got one
Anyway you looking it's a hell of a view

Don't know where we're gonna be...

'Cause when you got love like we got love
Sitting on top of the world
'Cause when you got love like we got love
Sitting on top of the world
'Cause when you got love like we got love
Sitting on top of the world
'Cause when you got love like we got love
Sitting on top of the world

Don't Make Me Feel At Home

Kim Williams - David Lewis

Room number 10 at the Holiday Inn
I softly knocked upon the door
Both excited and ashamed I slipped off my ring
Somethin' I'd never done before

The door open wide she welcomed me inside
Took my coat and offered me a drink
I just shook my head I sat down on the bed
I looked her in the eye and said No Thanks

Don't make me feel at home
Cause there ain't nothing there but wood and stone
Loneliness is all I feel inside those walls
And I can't go home please make me feel the way
She hasn't made me feel in way too long
Warm me with your touch make me feel loved
Don't make me feel at home

There's no love at home is it right or is it wrong
Does it matter if no one really cares
When she took my hand I told her once again
As I took the ribbon from her hair

Don't make me feel at home
Cause there ain't nothing there but wood and stone
Loneliness is all I feel inside those walls
And I can't go home please make me feel the way
She hasn't made me feel in way too long
Warm me with your touch make me feel loved
Don't make me feel at home warm me with your touch
Make me feel loved don't make me feel at home

Want You Back

Hillary Lindsey - Ashley Gorley - Rodney Clawson

I've been walking round all over this town
Tried to shake your shadow but you follow me round
Baby it don't matter what I do it all keeps coming back to you
I've been staying up I've been losing sleep
All them country songs saying pour another drink
Baby that won't drown out what we had and girl

I want you back back in my arms
Back of the yellow cab chasing kisses in the dark
Back back to your place
With your red wine lips saying come here baby
I don't know what I was thinking when I let you go
And I ain't even gonna act
Like I don't need you miss you wish that you would
Come on home baby I want you back
Want you back want you back want you back

The color of the night baby it ain't like
Like it used to be when we were burning it bright
But then the fire turned ice cold
And now it's all smoke and shadows
Wanna grab the phone wanna call you up
Tell you that I'll take it just the way that it was
Every little fight the making up all night
All the good all the bad

I want you back b ack in my arms
Back of the yellow cab chasing kisses in the dark
Back back to your place
With your red wine lips saying come here baby
I don't know what I was thinking when I let you go
And I ain't even gonna act
Like I don't need you miss you wish that you would
Come on home baby I want you back

Tell me what I've gotta do ain't no getting over you
Girl there ain't no moving on
All I want is what we had baby I just want you back

I don't know what I was thinking when I let you go
And I ain't even gonna act
Like I don't need you miss you wish that you would
Come on home baby I want you back
I want you back I want you back
I want you back want you back

California

Rodney Clawson - Jon Richardson - Vicky McGehee

with Big & Rich

It's a three-day drive if she drives all night
Says she's leaving at the crack of dawn
Well she might still be lying here with me
But in her heart she's already gone
Already packed up the Altima's gassed up
She done put the map up there on the dash
And I'm all tore up just trying to man up
Damming these tears up but can't hold 'em back

Cause she's in love with California
And that westcoast sunshine dream
These ain't no Hollywoods
And these hills ain't Beverly
Ain't no beaches on these back roads
No sunset on the boulevard
She's in love with California
And breaking my heart

Got a waitress job waiting in an IHOP
Throw a rock and hit Universal City
Got a glamour shot in her hip pocket
Hoping somebody'll think she's pretty
By this time tomorrow she'll hit Colorado
I'll be drowning my sorrow in a bottle of Beam
Before she hits Fagstaff maybe she'll backtrack
But I wouldn't bet that if I was me

Cause she's in love with California
And that west coast sunshine dream
These ain't no Hollywoods
And these hills ain't Beverly
Ain't no beaches on these back roads
No sunset on the boulevard
She's in love with California
And breaking my heart

She was all mine
But now it's go time

And she's in love with California
And that west coast sunshine dream
These ain't no Hollywoods
And these hills ain't Beverly
There ain't no beaches on these back roads
No sunset on the boulevard
She's in love with California
And breaking my heart

She's in love with California
And breaking my heart oh she's breaking my heart

Humble And Kind

Lori McKenna

You know there's a light that glows by the front door
Don't forget the key's under the mat
When childhood stars shine
Always stay humble and kind

Go to church cause your mamma says to
Visit grandpa every chance that you can
It won't be wasted time
Always stay humble and kind

Hold the door say please say thank you
Don't steal don't cheat and don't lie
I know you got mountains to climb
But always stay humble and kind
When the dreams you're dreamin' come to you
When the work you put in is realized
Let yourself feel the pride
But always stay humble and kind

Don't expect a free ride from no one
Don't hold a grudge or a chip and here's why
Bitterness keeps you from flyin'
Always stay humble and kind

Know the difference between sleeping with someone
And sleeping with someone you love
I love you ain't no pick-up line
So always stay humble and kind

Hold the door say please say thank you
Don't steal don't cheat and don't lie
I know you got mountains to climb
But always stay humble and kind
When those dreams you're dreamin' come to you
When the work you put in is realized
Let yourself feel the pride
But always stay humble and kind

When it's hot eat a root beer popsicle
Shut off the AC and roll the windows down
Let that summer sun shine always stay humble and kind

Don't take for granted the love this life gives you
When you get where you're going don't forget to turn back around
And help the next one in line always stay humble and kind
