Mud On The Tires

Charles Dubois - Brad Paisley

© Sea Gayle Music, ASCAP

I've got some big news the bank finally came through
And I'm holdin' the keys to a brand new Chevrolet
Have you been outside it sure is a nice night
How about a little test drive down by the lake

There's a place I know about where the dirt road runs out
And we can try out the four wheel drive
Come on now what do you say girl I can hardly wait
To get a little mud on the tires

Cause it's a good night to be out there soakin' up the moonlight
Stake out a little piece of shore line I've got the perfect place in mind
It's in the middle of nowhere only one way to get there
You gotta get a little mud on the tires

Moonlight on a duck blind catfish on a trot line
Sun sets about nine this time of year
We can throw a blanket down crickets singin' in the background
And more stars that you can count on a night this clear

I tell you what we need to do is grab a sleepin' bag or two
And build us a little campfire
And then with a little luck we might just get stuck
Let's get a little mud on the tires

Cause it's a good night to be out there soakin' up the moonlight...

And then with a little luck we might just get stuck
Let's get a little mud on the tires

Celebrity

Brad Paisley

© Sea Gayle Music, ASCAP

Someday I'm gonna be famous do I have talent well no
These days you don't really need it thanks to reality shows
Can't wait to date a supermodel can't wait to sue my dad
Can't wait to wreck a Ferrari on my way to rehab

Cause when you're a celebrity it's adios reality
You can act just like fool people think you're cool
Just cause you're on TV
I can throw major fits when my latte isn't just how I like it
They'll say I've gone insane I'll blame it on the fame
And the pressures that go with being a celebrity

I get to cry to Barbara Walters when things don't go my way
I'll get community service no matter which law I break
I'll make the supermarket tabloids they'll write some awful stuff
But the more they run my name down the more my price goes up

Cause when you're a celebrity it's adios reality...

So let's hitch up the wagons and head out west
To the land of fun in the sun
We'll be real world Bachelor Jackass Millionaires
Hey Hey Hollywood here we come

Yeah when you're a celebrity it's adios reality
No matter what you do people think you're cool
Just cause you're on TV being a celebrity
Yeah celebrity uh huh where's my coffee

Ain't Nothin' Like

Don Sampson - Wynn Varble

© Warner-Tamerlane Pub, BMI

I like kickin' back on the sofa
Flippin' through the channels just to see what's on
And I enjoy eatin' eggs over easy
Soppin' up with a biscuit till the yellow's gone

Ain't nothin' like watchin' a bunch of young'ns
Run screamin' through the sprinkler in their little bare feet
And ain't nothin' like findin' twenty dollars
In the pocket of the britches that you wore last week

I get into gettin' out on my mower
In the early mornin' hours fore the sun gets hot
And I like goin' down to the Kroger
When the carnival comes to the parkin' lot

Ain't nothin' like throwin a hula popper
Draggin' it across a spot a big 'un oughta be
And ain't nothin' like having him for supper
With some good hush puppies and some sweet iced tea

This old world holds all kind of treasures
And every day it just keeps gettin' better

Ain't nothin' like finding that woman
That you know you're gonna love for the rest of your life
And ain't nothin' like knowing the Lord's a comin'
Back one day to make you want to do right

Ain't nothin' like watchin' a bunch of young'ns...
Ain't nothin' like throwin a hula popper...

Little Moments

Charles Dubois - Brad Paisley

© Sea Gayle Music, ASCAP

Well I'll never forget the first time that I heard
That pretty mouth say that dirty word
And I can't even remember now what she backed my truck into
But she covered her mouth and her face got red
And she just looked so darn cute
That I couldn't even act like I was mad
Yeah I live for little moments like that

That's like just last year on my birthday
She lost all track of time and burnt the cake
And every smoke detector in the house was going off
She was just about to cry until I took her in my arms
And I tried not to let her see me laugh
Yeah I live for little moments like that

I know she's not perfect but she tries so hard for me
And I thank God that she isn't cause how boring would that be
It's the little imperfections it's the sudden change of plans
When she misreads the directions and we're lost but holding hands
Yeah I live for little moments like that

When she's laying on my shoulder on the sofa in the dark
And about the time she falls asleep
So does my right arm and I want so bad to move it
Because it's tingling and it's numb
She looks so much like an angel that I don't want to wake her up
Yeah I live for little moments

When she steals my heart again and doesn't even know it
Yeah I live for little moments like that

That's Love

Charles Dubois - Kelley Lovelace - Brad Paisley

© Sea Gayle Music, ASCAP

There ain't a woman in the world that wants to hear the word yes
When she asks if you think that she looks chubby in that dress
And if she cooks all day you better eat it with a smile
It doesn't matter if it tastes just like bad gravy on a Goodyear tire

(Yeah yeah yeah) all right so you bend the truth
(Yeah yeah yeah) that's somethin' that you'll have to get use to
Cause that's love you'll see we all commit a little bit of perjury
Ah but that's no crime if you ask me that's love
You're starin' at a burnt steak you bite the bullet and you clean your plate
And then you go on and on about how great it was
That's not a lie that's love

Well it's the very same thing she does for you
When she doesn't bring up the fifteen pounds you need to lose
And every time she runs her fingers through your hair
And she says she kinda likes the way there's not as much of it there

(Yeah yeah yeah) all right so you bend the truth...

(Yeah yeah yeah) well all right so you bend the truth
(Yeah yeah yeah) that's somethin' that you'll both gonna do
Cause that's love you'll see we all commit a little bit of perjury
You say I like it when your momma comes to visit us
That's not a lie that's not a lie that's love

Somebody Knows You Now

Brad Paisley

© Sea Gayle Music, ASCAP

You use to say you wanted someone to know you inside out
And as I look back on things well congratulations baby
Somebody knows you now
All of this time you told me you wished that you could figure yourself out
You say you're still a mystery but no not really not to me
Yeah somebody knows you now

I got a hundred bucks that says right now your hair's up in a clip
Your socks don't quite match and you're bitin' your lip
I can finish your thoughts oh pick the right restaurants
Even order for you before you sit down
Yeah somebody knows you now

So no matter where your life's path leads remember me somehow
And feel a little warm inside knowin' that somewhere tonight
Somebody knows you now

Baby all your mystery like you and me is history
Cause somebody knows you now

Famous People

Charles Dubois - Chris Wallin

© Sea Gayle Music, ASCAP

Your the first car in an hour or so
I'm glad you stopped in it's sure been slow
Around here today just like everyday

Well I couldn't help but notice your California plate
And I thought I recognized that name on your credit card
You're a movie star

Well I can't wait to get back home to tell all my buddies
That I met one of the most famous people in the country

Well I only go to movies when I'm down in Bowlin' Green
The cable don't come out this far so I never watch TV
I know you played in something but I'm gonna need some help
Wait weren't you in cannonball run No ah well

Allow me to introduce myself the name ain't John this is somebody else's
Greasy shirt my names Kurt
This is the town that I grew up in never seen LA the closest I been
To Hollywood is Dollywood

But when you get back to Beverly Hills you can tell all your buddies
You met one of the most famous people in the country

Cause I caught the record small mouth out on Kentucky lake
And I threw the winning touchdown pass the night that we won state
And I'm still signin' autographs after all these years
Oh yeah guess I'm gonna need yours sign um here

I'm thinkin' bout doin' some actin' someday
If I ever make it out to LA
Can I give you a shout maybe crash on your couch
If you hear of any roles that are floatin' around
That put me and Ashley Judd makin' out
In a steamy love scene I'd work pretty cheap

If the phones are down just ask around you'll get a hold of me
Cause I'm one of the most famous people in the country

You're talkin' to one of the most famous people in the country
Six-pack it was wasn't it you're in that movie six-pack
You look a lot thinner and younger on TV
Are you gaining weight for a role or something
I'm serious about that Ashley Judd thing I would work for free
Have you ever met Dolly Parton
Those are some famous people ha if you know what I mean

Hold Me In Your Arms (And Let Me Fall)

Charles Dubois - Kelley Lovelace - Brad Paisley

© Sea Gayle Music, ASCAP

Hold me in your arms just see how it feels
Don't make me wait forever just because you know I will
Don't leave me hangin' wishin' waitin' hopin' that you'll call
Darlin' hold me in your arms and let me fall

You've got reservations well darlin' so do I
But mine are at a restaurant six-thirty Friday night
I swear you won't regret it if you agree to go
Just do me one small favor before you tell me no

Hold me in your arms just see how it feels...

When you go out shopping you try on brand new clothes
To see if something fits or not there's just one way to know
Why's it any different when someone asks you out
You might as well just try me on before you turn me down

Hold me in your arms just see how it feels...
Yeah darlin' hold me in your arms and let me fall

Whiskey Lullaby

Bill Anderson - Jon Randall

© Tree Pub, BMI

with Alison Krauss

She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart he spent his whole life trying to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind until the night

He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind until the night

She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby

La la la la la la la...

The Best Thing That I Had Goin'

Jerry Salley - Chris Stapleton

© Sea Gayle Music, ASCAP

Finally got that promotion I worked hard to get
One that came with a company car
When they gave me the keys they said son you can bet
Keep it up and you'll really go far

But what good is all that knowin'
The best thing that I had goin' is gone

My good friends come around to hang out now and then
And they joke man you've sure got it hard
With this house on the hill and a white picket fence
And the grass sure is green in the yard

But what good is all that knowin'...

Well I squandered my time trying to buy her everything
Gave her all that I thought she deserved
Now I know all the things that she wanted were free
And I should have been home holdin' her

But what good is all that knowin'...

The Cigar Song

Brad Paisley

© Sea Gayle Music, ASCAP

Well I'm a sucker for fine Cuban cigars
The problem is I can't afford 'em
But last year I went and got myself a whole box
And just to be safe I insured 'em

I took out a policy against fire and theft
And then I hurried home
With a fifty-cent lighter I sat on my back steps
And I smoked 'em one by one

Two weeks later I went to see that insurance man
And I handed in my claim
With a straight face I told him that through a series of small fires
They'd all gone up in flames

They reviewed my case and they had no choice
But to pay me for what I'd done
And I took that check and bought a whole new box
And I smoked 'em one by one

Two weeks later this detective shows up
Tells me that company's pressin' charges
One speedy trial later they locked me up
On twenty-four separate counts of arson

And now I sit and I stare at a blank brick wall
Lookin' back on what I've done
To pass the time I've got some ten-cent cigars
And I smoke 'em one by one yeah I smoke 'em one by one

Make A Mistake

Brad Paisley

© Sea Gayle Music, ASCAP

You over think things you say what if we're not meant to be
You know what so what make a mistake with me
Nobody goes through this life and does everything perfectly
We're all gonna fail so you might as well make a mistake with me

Sometimes baby when we take
A chance that has this much at stake
We look back and in hindsight
What seemed wrong looks more like right

So I say worst case we'll be left with lots of good memories
This chance we have well it's worth that so make a mistake with me
I'm telling you the right thing to do
Is make a mistake make a mistake make a mistake with me
Whoops help me out

Is It Raining At Your House

Hank Cochran - Dean Dillon - Vern Gosdin

© Tree Pub, BMI

Is it rainin' at your house like it's rainin' at mine
Do you miss me like I miss you is it cloudy all the time
Do you tremble when the phone rings and you think I'm on the line
Is it rainin' at your house like it's rainin' at mine

Does it thunder and lightnin' even when the sunshines
Is it rainin' at your house like it's rainin' at mine

Is it rainin' at your place just like it is over here
If it is then sweetheart like me I know you're scared
I just called you to console you like any old friend would do
Is it rainin' at your house and by the way I still love you

Does it thunder and lightnin' even when the sunshines...
Is it rainin' at your house like it's rainin' at mine

Farther Along

W.B. Stevens - Jesse Baxter

© Bridge Building Music, BMI

Temped and tried we're oft made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long
While there are others living about us
Never molested though in the wrong

Farther along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by

When death has come and taken our love ones
It leaves our homes so lonely and drear
And then do we wonder why others prosper
Living so wicked year after year

Farther along we'll know all about it...

When we see Jesus coming in glory
When he comes down from his home in the sky
Then we shall meet him in that bright mansion
We'll understand it all by and by

Well farther along we'll know all about it...
Yeah we'll understand it all by and by
