Sunshine And Summertime

Rodney Clawson - John Rich - Kylie Sackley

© Steel Wheels Music, BMI

We've got barefoot ladies and tricked out Mercedes
And people gettin' crazy on the boulevard
We've got classic colas and ice cold Corona's
And big pool parties in the backyard

I said hey that's the way we do it
New friends and blue skies that never end
Hey that's the way we like it
Good times sunshine and summertime

You'll see straw sombreros and T-top cameros
And stereos blastin' in the parking lot
You'll see rock hard bodies and bikini hotties
And everybody's got it goin' on and showin' what they've got

Hey that's the way we do it...
[ guitar ]
I said hey everybody can't you feel the rhythm now
Hey everybody don't you want to party
Hey everybody can't you feel the rhythm now
Hey everybody don't you wanna party

Hey that's the way we do it...
Hey that's the way we do it...
Good times sunshine and summertime
Good times sunshine and summertime

Mississippi Girl

John Rich - Adam Shoenfeld

© WB Music, ASCAP

It's a long way from Star Mississippi
To the big stage I'm singing on tonight
And sometimes the butterflies still get me
When I'm in the spotlight

And some people seem to think that I have changed
That I'm different than I was back then
But in my soul I know that I'm the same way
That I've really always been

Cause a Mississippi girl don't change her ways
Just cause everybody knows her name
Ain't big-headed from a little bit of fame
I still like wearing my old ball cap
Ride my kids around piggy back
They might know me all around the world
But y'all I'm still a Mississippi girl

Well I spent a few weeks in California
They put my face on the big movie screen
But that don't mean I've forgotten where I came from
That's just me chasing dreams yeah

Cause a Mississippi girl don't change her ways...

Cause a Mississippi girl don't change her ways...

Dearly Beloved

Georgia Middleman - Fred Wilhelm

© Jorgasong, ASCAP

Good morning dearly beloved we are gathered here today
To watch two people we know make a big mistake
They'll stand up at the alter and solemnly swear I do
They'll be together forever till they find somebody new

Her daddy's in the front row muttering oh no here we go again
They had a couple dates now she's three months late
And it's twenty buck a plate I spent
Oh good morning dearly beloved I'd like to welcome ya'll
To see the side-effects of sex and alcohol
Please bow your heads and join me in a prayer for these two
Who'll be together forever till they find somebody new
[ mandolin ]
The bride is a flirt and the groom is worse as he's putting the ring on her
He's checking out the bridesmaids thinking that he might take
The maid of honor's honor
Oh welcome dearly beloved we are here this afternoon
To throw rice as these two drive down the road to ruin
With cans tied to the bumper and a dragging muffler too
They'll be together forever till they find somebody new

So raise your glass and join me here's to the bride and groom
They'll be together forever till they find somebody new
Welcome back here now ha ha

I Ain't Gonna Take It Anymore

Kevin Hildebrandt - Bobby Terry

© Irving Music, BMI

You've worn the soles off both your shoes
Walking on me like ya do
This ain't what forever's for
And I ain't gonna take it I ain't gonna take it anymore

I've cried and begged and cursed and prayed
But nothing's worked and nothing's changed
No way I win when you keep score
And I ain't gonna take it I ain't gonna take it anymore

I'm gonna crawl out from this stone that I've been under
To see the light and breathe the air
You'll have a million reasons why I shouldn't leave you
But for the first time in a long time I don't care

I guess on one hand you should laugh
Cause I've said the same things in the past
But this time one hand's on the door
And I ain't gonna take it I ain't gonna take it anymore
[ guitar ]
I'm gonna crawl out from this stone that I've been under...

I can't help but think of you
Looking back in my rear view
But I've been down that road before
And I ain't gonna take it I ain't gonna take it anymore
No I ain't gonna take it I ain't gonna take it anymore

Stealing Kisses

Lori McKenna

© Paper Wings Music, ASCAP

It's late enough all you kids should be home
The policeman says as he takes your beer for his own
You remember wondering what his wife thought about his occupation
He knows that you were just chasing a dream
To the town line and then back and over again
So he winks at you girls and tells you all I'll see you later

I was stealing kisses from a boy
Now I'm begging affection from a man
In my housedress don't know you who I am
Don't know you who I am standing in your kitchen

It's late enough your husband's dinner is cold
So you wrap it up and leave it for him on the stove
It's probably the traffic again or another important meeting
And you haven't talked to an adult all day
Cept your neighbor who drives you crazy
When he finally gets in he's sure not in the mood for talking

I was stealing kisses from a boy...

And hours become days and days become years
And you could burn down this town if they made matches from fear
Buy you're no worse off than anybody else
Hey don't you even know don't you even know yourself

So you're standing outside your high school door
The one you walked out of twenty years before
And you whisper to all of the girls run run ooh run

I was stealing kisses from a boy
Now I'm begging affection from a man
In my housedress don't know you who I am
Take a look at who I am take a look at who I am
I'm stealing kisses stealing kisses

Fireflies

Lori McKenna

© Paper Wings Music, ASCAP

Before you met me I was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them prince and made myself a queen
Before you knew me I traveled round the world
I slept in castles and fell in love because I was taught to dream

I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top to capture tinkerbell
They were just fireflies to the untrained eye but I could always tell

I believe in fairytales
and dreamer's dreams like bed sheet sails
And I believe in peter pan and miracles and anything I can
To get by and fireflies

Before i grew up I saw you on a cloud
I could bless myself in your name and pat you on your wings
Before I grew up I heard you whisper so loud
Life is hard and so is love child believe in all these things

I found mayonnaise bottles...

I believe in fairytales...
Fireflies

Before you met me I was a fairy princess...

Like We Never Loved At All

Vicky McGhee - John Rich - Scott Sacks

© Rich Texan Music, ASCAP

You never looked so good
As you did last night underneath those city lights
There walking with your friend
Laughing at the moon I swear you looked right through me
But I'm still living with your goodbye
And you're just going on with your life

How can you just walk on by without one tear in your eye
Don't you have the slightest feelings left for me
Maybe that's just your way of dealing with the pain
Forgetting everything between our rise and fall
Like we never loved at all

You I hear you're doing fine
Seems like you're doing well as far as I can tell
Time is leaving us behind
Another week has passed and still I haven't laughed yet
So tell me what your secret is
To letting go letting go like you did like you did

How can you just walk on by...

Did you forget the magic oh did you forget the passion
Oh did you ever miss me ever long to kiss me

Oh baby baby maybe that's just your way of dealing with the pain
Forgetting everything between our rise and fall
Like we never loved at all

I Want You

Rivers Rutherford - Bobby Tomberlin

© Memphisto Music, ASCAP

The eagle wants a canyon and a place where he can rest his wings a while
The drifter wants a freight train that will carry him another hundred miles
The lion's only lookin' for something he can sink his teeth into
Oh and I want you

The devil wants a fella with a weakness he can wrap his arms around
The champion wants a challenger who just might have the strength to take him down
The river wants an ocean to run towards and pour its heart into
Oh and I want you oh and I want you

Oh every time that I'm around you oh I'm on fire when we touch
Oh when I hold you boy you know I can't get close enough
Yes I want you

I could cry and say I need you tell you that I die when you're not here
I could lie and say I love you pour a little poison in your ear
But all I'm gonna give you is nothing but the bare and naked truth
Oh baby I want you baby I want you

The Lucky One

Jay Joyce - Brett Warren - Brad Warren

© Johnny O Music, BMI

So hot outside all I can wear is these cut off overalls
And these sandals on my feet
But I emptied my pockets for a bus ticket
So I could sit there on a broken seat
I got no place I should go I got no worries you know
Second or seventh street it doesn't matter to me

Cause you're mine that's all I need to know
The sunshine's everywhere we go
It's so right cause I've got you to hold every night
Yeah I'm the lucky one I'm the lucky one

Well I pulled back down to my upstreet apartment
And the air never works in that old place
Twenty-seven and I thought I'd be further along
Than just this rented space
I got no papers to read I got no cable TV no
And I got no places to be I got no people to meet

Cause you're mine that's all I need to know...
Yeah I'm the lucky one
[ guitar ]
I'm on a roll when I'm with you
Don't stop me now I just can't lose

Cause you're mine that's all I need to know
The sunshine's everywhere we go
It's so right cause I've got you to hold every night

You're mine that's all I need to know...
I'm the lucky one I'm the lucky one

If You Ask

Lori McKenna

© Paper Wings Music, ASCAP

Well I've come to know the look on your face
When you're lying about where you've been
Or how much you spent

I know when you will raise your fingers
To your mouth as if to wipe away the shame
It's not a game I know you feel bad

If you ask for my forgiveness if you call my name I will come
If you ask for my love I will give you some

Someday I know you will understand
Someday you'll finally realize what you're doing to yourself

If you ask for my forgiveness...

We've been dancing to that same old song over and over again
I want to be your lover I don't want to be your policeman

So tonight when you finally make your way back to our door
I'll let you sleep it off like I did the night before

When you ask for my forgiveness...

In the morning I will get you up I will smile just when you want me to
Cause I'm I'm all you have

We've Got Nothing But Love To Prove

Darrell Scott

© WB Music, ASCAP

What if no one would kill for their religion
What if no one ever had to go to war
What if the children of the world made world decisions
Paint-by-number hatred wasn't hanging around anymore

Is everything OK in the USA in the good ole USA
Is everything OK in the USA in the good ole USA

It's like everything and nothing leads to wisdom
It's like no one really means what they say
While we fight for peace and die for our freedom
I guess we'll leave it to our children to find a better way

Is everything OK in the USA...

I know that I I'm just a dreamer a common man schemer
Looking for light out of the dark night of my soul

I hear the drums of war they are a changing
And everybody's getting in the groove
We're laughing and dancing and talking and jammin' and singin'
Oh we've got nothin' but love to prove so how about you

Is everything OK in the USA...

You Stay With Me

John Kennedy - Andrea Stolpe

© Almo Music, ASCAP

TV flashes down the hall painting pictures on the wall
And you're still sleeping on my knees
And in the glow of silver light I trace the lines above your eyes
Just another wrinkle that you can blame on me

But I can hear the current of the freeway in the distance
If I keep listening
And I wonder if you ever thought of streaming off
Somewhere with it
Am I not what you thought will you get tired of what you got

If I can't give you anymore
Than weathered ships and distant shores
Would you still be my compass yeah
Cause you keep loving me the same
I don't know how but you still stay with me baby
You stay with me baby

Another day another week we'll slip back in old routines
Till nights like these come in between
Simple moments in the dark ones that life can't tear apart
They come along just when we need

And I still hear the current of the freeway...
If I can't give you anymore...
[ mandolin ]
Cause you keep loving me the same
I don't know how but you still stay with me baby
You stay with me baby oh stay with me baby

TV flashes down the hall painting pictures on the wall

Wish For You

Craig Wiseman - Darrell Brown

© Big Loud Music, ASCAP

A setting sun that paints a tie-dyed sky
A feather bed an ancient lullaby
A kiss good night from one whose love is true
That's the kind of day I wish for you

A field of flowers dancing in the spring
A little creek a tree an old rope swing
Cotton candy clouds against the blue
That's the kind of day I wish for you

First love with all its storm raging like fire within
Tossing your heart to chance you swear the dance will never end

But then it does and someone says goodbye
And after all those empty nights you cried
The morning that you wake up good as new
That's the kind of day I wish for you
[ fiddle - piano ]
The faith of knowing deep inside your heart
That heaven holds more than just some stars
Someone's up there watching over you
That's the kind of day I wish for you

Paris

Troy Verges - Eric Daly - Gordie Sampson

© Macadoo Music, BMI

The train pulled into Paris like a rocket to the moon
The station's like a circus every face is a cartoon
Everybody's stoned on pride and drunk on cheap champagne
Tonight this Joie deVivre sure don't live up to its name
And now all that I can say

Is I'd give this world to you
Every rock and every stone every masterpiece in Rome
And if you asked me to
I'd steel the Mona Lisa tear it up in little pieces
And lay them at your feet for all the world to see
But tonight I can't give you Paris
[ strings ]
Aristocrats are everywhere and the air's as thick as thieves
She'd like nothing better than to steal the breathe from me
The tower's lights ain't shining as it hangs its head in shame
At the sight of American blood on the streets of St Germain
Washin' up into the Seine

And I'd give this world to you...
[ strings ]
And I'd give this world to you
I'd steal the crown and kingdom from the Queen of England
And if you asked me to
I'd take this city in my hands break it down in grains of sand
And lay them at your feet for all the world to see
But tonight I can't give you Paris
