This Is Country Music

Charles Dubois - Brad Paisley

© House Of Sea Gayle Music, ASCAP

You're not supposed to say the word cancer in a song
And tellin' folks Jesus is the answer can rub 'em wrong
It ain't hip to sing about tractors trucks little towns and mama yeah that might be true
But this is country music and we do

Do you like to drink a cold one on the weekend and get a little loud
Do you wanna say I'm sorry or I love ya but you don't know how
Do you wish somebody had the nerve to tell that stupid boss of yours
to shove it next time he yells at you well this is country music and we do

So turn it on turn it up and sing a long
This is real this is your life in a song
Yeah this is country music

Are you haunted by the echo of your mother on the phone
Cryin' as she tells you that your brother is not coming home?
And if there's anyone that still has pride and the memory of those
that died defending the old red white and blue
This is country music and we do

So turn it on turn it up and sing a long
This is real; this is your life in a song
Just like a road that takes you home
Yeah this is right where you belong
This is country music this is country music
He Stop Lovin Her Today Hello Darlin'
God Bless The USA Amarillo by Morning
Stand By Your Man Take Me Home
I Walk The Line Country Boy Can Survive

Old Alabama

Charles Dubois - Randy Owen - Dave Turnbull

© House Of Sea Gayle Music, ASCAP

with Alabama

She'd rather wear a pair of cut-off jeans than a fancy evening dress
And with her windows rolled down and her hair all blown around she's a hot southern mess
She'll take a beer over white wine and a campfire over candle light
And when it comes to love oh her idea of a romantic night

Is listenin' to old Alabama drivin' through Tennessee
A little Dixieland Delight at the Right Time of the Night
And she can't keep her hands off of me

And now we're rollin' down an old back road
I got the steering wheel in one hand
We'll find a hideaway where she and I can play
In Mother Nature's band

Now we're listenin' to old Alabama parked somewhere in Tennessee
A little Dixieland Delight and It Feels So Right
And It's Love In The First Degree

Forget about Sinatra or Coltrane or some ol' Righteous Brothers song
And Barry White ain't gonna work tonight if you really wanna turn her on
Play some back home come on music that comes from the heart
Play something with lots of feeling cause that's where music has to start

Now we're listenin' to Old Alabama and we're drivin' through Tennessee
A little Dixieland Delight and It Feels So Right and It's Love In The First Degree
Yeah' you know we're listenin' to Old Alabama(old Alabama) drivin' through Tennessee
A little Why Lady Why at The Right Time Of The Night
Oh and she can't keep her hands off of me

Oh play me some old Alabama oh play me some old Alabama
Won't you play me some old Alabama play me some old Alabama
Won't you play

A Man Don't Have To Die

George Teren - Rivers Rutherford - Josh Thompson

© Blank Sheet Music, BMI

Well he yelled out from the back row look here preacher man
We all know you're new here but you need to understand
It don't really scare us when you yell and shake your fist
You see we already know that hell exists

Its six months short of thirty years when the boss man lays you off
No thinking you no pair of shoes no shiny new gold watch
Its payments you cant make on a house that you cant sell
See a man don't have to die to go to hell
No you don't have to die to go to hell

So tell us bout them angels and how they fly around and sing
Tell us how to get there cause we all want to be
Restin' in the arms of Jesus no shame or pain or tears
There's hell enough to go around down here

Its a place out by the airport where the girls dance just for you
And all you feel is drunk and broke and lonely when their through
Its waking up with nothing but that stale tobacco smell
See a man don't have to die to go to hell
Nah you don't have to die to go to hell
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

Its every other weekend and Wednesday with your kid
And knowing that he'll hate you when he finds out what you did
Cause you'd all still be together if you loved his momma well
There ain't no end to stories we can tell
Yeah a man don't have to die to go to hell

So tell us bout them angels how they fly around and sing
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

Camouflage

Charles Dubois - Kelley Lovelace - Brad Paisley

© House Of Sea Gayle Music, ASCAP

Kevin wasn't really all that popular in school
But I remember well the day I thought now that guy's pretty cool
He pulled into the parking lot and everybody cheered
'Cause he'd gone and painted his entire Chevy Cavalier

Camouflage camouflage disappears when it pulls out of his garage
Camouflage camouflage

I asked Penny to the prom and her mom knew how to sew
So she made a matching tux and gown from duck blind Mossy Oak
We took pictures in the backyard before we went to the dance
And the only thing that you could see is our faces and our hands

Camouflage camouflage
Camouflage you seen have seen the way it popped with her corsage
Camouflage camouflage ain't nothing that doesn't go with Camouflage

You can blend in in the country
You can stand out in the fashion world
Being invisible to a white tail and irresistible to redneck girl

Camouflage camouflage oh you're my favorite color camouflage
You can blend in in the country you can stand out in the fashion world
Being invisible to a white tail and irresistible to redneck girl

Well the stars and bars offends some folks and I guess I see why
Nowadays theres still a way to show your southern pride
The only thing is patriotic as the old red white and blue
Is green and gray and black and brown and tan all over too

Camouflage camouflage designed by mother nature and by god
Camouflage camouflage oh you're my favorite color camouflage

Remind Me

Charles Dubois - Kelley Lovelace - Brad Paisley

© House Of Sea Gayle Music, ASCAP

with Carrie Underwood

We didn't care if people stared
We'd make out in a crowd somewhere
Somebody'd tell us to get a room
It's hard to believe that was me and you

Now we keep saying that we're okay
But I don't want to settle for good not great
I miss the way that it felt back then
I wanna feel that way again

Been so long bet you forget
The way I used to kiss your neck
Remind me remind me
So on fire so in love
Way back when we couldn't get enough
Remind me remind me

Remember the airport dropping me off
We were kissing goodbye and we couldn't stop
And I felt bad cause you missed your flight
But that meant we had one more night

Do you remember how it used to be
We'd turn out the lights and we didn't just sleep
Remind me baby remind me
Oh so on fire so in love
That look in your eyes that I miss so much
Remind me baby remind me

I wanna feel that way yeah I wanna hold you close
Oh if you still love me don't just assume I know
Oh baby remind me remind me

Do you remember the way it felt
You mean back when we couldn't control ourselves
Remind me yeah remind me

All those things that you used to do
That made me fall in love with you
Remind me oh baby remind me

Yeah you'd wake up in my old t-shirt
All those mornings I was late for work
Remind me oh baby remind me yeah

Oh baby remind me baby remind me yeah oh
(Yeah you'd wake up in my old T-shirt)
Baby remind me

Working On A Tan

Charles Dubois - Kelley Lovelace - Brad Paisley

© House Of Sea Gayle Music, ASCAP

She's got the focus she's got the time
she's got a deeper shade in mind
She's got headphones
She's got spring break Swimsuit and Coppertone 8

She's working on a tan
She's sitting in the sand chilling in a chair flower in her hair margarita in her hand
Soaking up the sun getting next to nothing done
There's a term paper due in a week or two only she don't give a damn
She's working on a tan working on a tan

All the Kappa Sigma boys been lifting weights hitting that gym drinking protein shakes
They got a cooler full of beer and it's loaded in the Jeep
Why do you think they're going to the beach
Because she's working on a tan
She's sitting in the sand chilling in a chair flower in her hair margarita in her hand

Soaking up the sun getting next to nothing done
shes attracting a crowd got their tongues hanging out but she don't give a damn
She's working on a tan working on a tan

Yeah so many things run thing her mind reapply
So this week while you are stuck in your cubicle
Or your serving Starbucks or you're still in school
Far from rubbing sunscreen on your skin sorry but I have to rub it in

She's working on a tan
She's sitting in the sand chilling in a chair flower in her hair margarita in her hand
Soaking up the sun getting next to nothing done
Forget her grades forget her GPA she don't give a damn
She's working on a tan working on a tan

Love Her Like She's Leavin'

Charles Dubois - Ashley Gorley - Brad Paisley

© House Of Sea Gayle Music, ASCAP

with Don Henley

We cut the cake everybody danced and some people drank too much
You looked like the cover of Brides magazine and I looked like some guy in the tux
I'll never forget when your Uncle Bill pulled up a chair and sat down
He said son I've been married now forty-five years and pointed at you through the crowd

And said love her like she's leaving like it's going to end if you don't
Love her like she's leaving oh and I guarantee she won't

He said it's sending her flowers for no reason at all and notes on the fridge every day
An unexpected gift at an unexpected time that keep the lawyers away
It's easy to take forever for granted with tin cans tied to your car
I know she tells you that she'll always be there but I'm telling you if you're smart

Love her like she's leaving like it's going to end if you don't...

She could have any man she wants you know it's true
Best way to keep her is to keep her wanting you

Love her like she's leaving like it's going to end if you don't...
Love her like she's leaving oh and I guarantee she won't

One Of Those Lives

Kelley Lovelace - Lee Miller - Brad Paisley

© House Of Sea Gayle Music, ASCAP

Rush hour traffic always puts me in a bad mood
I got chewed out by the boss today and now I'm stuck on Highway 92
Then you call me on my cell phone while I'm cussin' out a Cadillac
You say remember Tom and Jenny's little boy well the doctors say the cancer's back

Man its been one of those days when I been thinking poor me
I got no right to complain I guess cause right now all I can see
Is a little angel in a Yankees cap it makes me realize
It's just been one those days for me but for him it's been one of those lives

Everybody under my roof is healthy knock on wood
Oh but I sure do sweat the small stuff I don't thank God as much as I should
Tonight I'm thinking about Tommy and Jenny and how they spent the last four years
All those extended stays in Memphis all the sleepless nights the prayers the tears

It's just been one of those days where I was thinking poor me...

Is that family moving back to Target House it makes me realize
It's just been one those days for me but for them its been one of those lives
And so it's been one of those days I let things get to me
I got no right to complain cause when I look around I see

Folks that are fightin' for every breath and it makes me realize
It's just been one for those days for me but for them it's been one of those lives

Toothbrush

Danny Simpson - Jon Henderson - Joel Shewmake

© Warner-Tamerlane Pub, BMI

Love starts with a toothbrush a bic razor and a Dixie cup
a little splash of aftershave before you leave for that first date
Seeing stars in both your eyes after that first kiss goodnight

Forever starts with a suitcase sneaking out the window getaway
to the car parked by the curb gassed up for Gatlinburg
a little chapel and couple of rings
will get you two toothbrushes by the bathroom sink

Everything that's anything starts out as a little think
it just needs a little time and room to grow
Step by step day by day it all adds up along the way
and the next thing that you know

Life starts with a little house
A corner lot on the edge of town
A weedeater and a picket fence

think its as good as the getting gets
then she wakes up feeling bad and you both wonder whats up with that

Everything that's anything starts out as a little think
it just needs a little time to grow
Step by step day by day it all adds up along the way
and the next thing that you know

one night around eight o'clock
you scrub him down and then you dry him off
pick him up and put his little feet on the counter by the bathroom sink
you grab the crest and a Dixie cup it all hits you as he opens up
Love starts with a toothbrush

Be The Lake

Charles Dubois - Ashley Gorley - Brad Paisley

© House Of Sea Gayle Music, ASCAP

There ain't nothing I would rather see
Than you drying off on this dock
I've been thinking it's so good to be me
But girl on second thought

Wish I could be the beach towel that you laid down on
Or that two piece that's fitting you so right it's wrong
Or the sunshine kissing on your skin
Wish I could be the lake that you're swimming in

Well I'm hiding behind these Ray-Ban shades
Staring at you like I do
I'm right here beside you and it's killing me
Cause I can't get close enough to you

Wish I could be the beach towel that you laid down on
Or that two-piece that's fitting you so right it's wrong
Or the sunshine kissing on your skin
Wish I could be the lake that you're swimming in

Or maybe that book you laid on your chest
When you drift off like you do
Or maybe that 25 SPF
You keep rubbing all over you

Wish I could be the beach towel that you laid down on
Or that two-piece that's fitting you so right it's wrong
Or the sunshine kissing on your skin
Wish I could be the lake that you're swimming in
Wish I could be the lake that you're swimming in

New Favorite Memory

Frank Rogers - Robert Arthur - Brad Paisley

© House Of Sea Gayle Music, ASCAP

You're fumbling around in the bedroom trying to put on your shoes
Hair still down dress half on looking like you're about to blow a fuse
I know what's about to happen I can read you like a book
You're about to shoot that cute little yeah we're late look

And there it is baby don't move
I wanna soak this in I've got a new favorite memory of you

Driving through town running red lights you take my hand in the car
Finally make it to the restaurant and our friends are two drinks in at the bar
I know what's about to happen yeah folks don't change that dial
She's about to light the room up with a laugh and a smile

And there it is baby don't move...

Yeah I'm gonna fall farther baby I know wait for it
And wait for it here I go
You're fumbling around in the bedroom trying to take off your shoes
Hair back down dress half off you look at me

And there it is baby don't move...
Here we go again I've got a new favorite memory of you

Don't Drink The Water

Tim Owens - Brad Paisley

© House Of Sea Gayle Music, ASCAP

with Blake Shelton

Empty house, Empty Rooms, Empty bottle of Petron
I need to go out but not around here there ain't nowhere we haven't gone
There's this travel agent that I know who says Cozumel is real nice
And so he got me a deal on a flight and a room and a little bit of free advice

Don't drink the water I told him that's okay
I ain't going down to Mexico to drink the water anyway

Clake aint you been there yeah I've been there a time or two
They got some sweet senoritas that are more than glad to meet you
But I'm tellin' you boy that whatever you do
Don't drink the water okay okay I ain't going down

To Mexico to drink the water anyway
Corona or Tecate or my old friend Jose
I ain't going down to Mexico to drink the water anyway

on this trip anything I sip better have a kick and a burn
strong enough to get you off my mind
little by little and a little grub of worm

Don't drink the water that's what they say
I ain't going down to Mexico to drink the water anyway
No one i know goes to Mexico to drink the water anyway

I Do Now

Charles Dubois - Tim Owens - Brad Paisley

© House Of Sea Gayle Music, ASCAP

I never knew how people wound up in a bar in the middle of the day
Broken souls or broken lives from the choices that they made
I didn't know how much I had to lose when I threw it all away

But I do now I do now oh I'd give anything
If I could just go back in time somehow
I wouldn't break your heart I wouldn't break those vows
If I could lift that veil and look you in the eye and say I do now

Standing before God and all our friends in that little church
Barely listening to a thing that preacher said just repeating every word
I didn't have a clue what it all meant but girl for what it's worth

I do now I do now oh I'd give anything...

I wouldn't break your heart I wouldn't break those vows
If I could lift that veil and look you in the eye and say I do now

Life's Railway To Heaven

M.E. Abbey - Charlie Tillman

© Bridge Building Music, BMI

with Marty Stuart & Sheryl Crow & Carl Jackson

Life is like a mountain railway with an engineer that's brave
We must make the run successful from the cradle to the grave
Watch for curves and hills and valleys never falter never fail
And keep your hands upon the throttle and your eye upon the rail

Blessed Saviour Thou wilt guide us till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us in God's praise forevermore

As you roll across the trestle spanning Jordan's swelling tide
You behold the Union Depot into which your train will glide
There you'll meet the Superintendent God the father God the son
With a hearty joyous greeting weary pilgrim welcome home

Blessed Saviour Thou wilt guide us till we reach that blissful shore...
Blessed Saviour Thou wilt guide us till we reach that blissful shore...

Where the angels wait to join us in God's praise forevermore
So turn it on turn it up and sing along
