I met a guy on the red eye
He spotted my guitar And said what do you do? I said, I sing for a living, Country music mixed with A little rock and a little blues He said I'm sorry But I've never been crazy 'Bout that twang and trains and hillbilly thing What ever made you want to sing stuff like that? I just looked at him and laughed and said 'Cause it's songs about me And who I am Songs about loving and living And good hearted women and family and God Yeah they're all just Songs about me Songs about me So I offered him tickets I said you'll see what I mean If you show up tonight He said I doubt you'll change my opinion I'll be kind of busy, but hey man, I'll try Then later on when we finished our songs About scars and cars and broken hearts I saw him, he was standing there Right next to the stage And he shouted Man you were right It was like you sang those Songs about me And who I am Songs about loving and living And good hearted women and family and God Yeah they're all just Songs about me Songs about me So I'll just keep on singing 'Til I hear the whole world singing those Songs about me And who I am Songs about loving and living And good hearted women and family and God Yeah they're all just Songs about me Songs about me |

I never thought that this is where I'd settle down
I thought I'd die an old man back in my hometown They gave me this plot of land Me and some other men, for a job well-done There's a big white house Sits on a hill just up the road The man inside He cried the day they brought me home They folded up a flag and told my mom and dad We're proud of your son [Chorus] And I'm proud to be On this peaceful piece of property I'm on sacred ground And I'm in the best of company I'm thankful for those thankful For the things I've done I can rest in peace I'm one of the chosen ones I made it to Arlington I remember daddy brought me here when I was eight We searched all day To find out where my grand-dad lay When we finally found that cross He said, "Son this is what it costs To keep us free" Now here I am, a thousand stones away from him He recognized me on the first day I came in And it gave me a chill when he clicked his heels And saluted me [Chorus] And every time I hear twenty-one guns I know they brought another hero home to us We're thankful for those thankful For the things we've done We can rest in peace 'Cause we are the chosen ones We made it to Arlington Yeah, dust to dust Don't cry for us We made it to Arlington |

Mama put a bible in my glove box
And a hot homemade apple pie on the passenger's seat She said ??짖??You'll always be my baby??짖?? Then she planted a kiss and a couple of tears on my cheek Dad slipped me some travelin' cash And a map with a highlighted route on the dash and I realized as I looked back that They weren't just sayin' good bye There weren't just seein' me off There were just makin' sure that I Don't forget where I'm from Go out there and do your family proud son Mama loved and daddy worked Lived their lives just to make sure I know my way back home I can still smell mama's kitchen And feel every single prayer she says for me I can point these wheels towards that sunset With a out a fear without a doubt Daddy says go get that dream I left behind a pie crumb trail Just in case I get lost, fall flat, or fail And if the wind should leave my sail They weren't just sayin' good bye There weren't just seein' me off There were just makin' sure that I Don't forget where I'm from Go out there and do your family proud son Mama loved and daddy worked Lived their lives just to make sure I know my way Back to that door that's always open And that light that's always on To the love that's always waiting After bein' gone too long They weren't just sayin' goodbye They weren't just seein' me off There were just makin' sure that I don't forget where from Go out there and do your family proud son Mama loved and daddy worked, Gave their lives just to make sure I know I always know I always know my way back home My way back home My way back home |

A car goes by and I see your face
A strangers face in the window And I wish it was you I'm in a room Its a crowded room A friend walks up to say hello And I wish it was you Cause every memory that haunts my mind Is just another reason why (I wish it was you) a phone ring in the middle of the night A doorbell in the broad daylight A letter in the mail that I come home to (I wish it was you) when I see two people on the street Touchin' like they don't care who sees Laughin' the way we used to do I wish it was you Ill meet someone who could be the one But soemthin' always happens Before the night is through There's that certain look and that certain smile There's that old familiar pattern And I wish it was you Tellin' me that you'll be back someday And I don't have to feel this way (I wish it was you) a phone ring in the middle of the night A doorbell in the broad daylight A letter in the mail that I come home to (I wish it was you) when I see two people on the street Touchin' like they don't care who sees Laughin' the way we used to do I wish it was me and I wish it was you (I wish it was you) a phone ring in the middle of the night A doorbell in the broad daylight A letter in the mail that I come home to (I wish it was you) when I see two people on the street Laughin' like they don't care who sees Touchin' the way we used to do I wish it was me and I wish it was you |

Everybody has their own idea of heaven
What kind of paradise they'll see. Pearly gates, streets of gold No gettin' sick or growing old. Sounds like a beautiful place to be. But as for me My heaven is a wood frame house with a great big porch going all the way around Sittin' on the swing listening to the sounds of the birds sing My heaven is a warm summer day in the backyard while the kids all play. Flies and mosquitoes all stay away while we eat watermelon That's my heaven. You're always going to find a few non-believers. Those who stay lost in the dark, but I believe there is a place full of light, Love and grace and I don't believe that it's all that fun In my heart heaven is a cell phone ring while I'm at work and the only thing that you have to say is you miss me And get home in a hurry. My heaven is the very worst day that I spent with you And you were so mad but I still knew nobody believes Cause that don't happen in my heaven. My heaven is where I am now on the front porch Of a wood frame house swinging with you Just lookin' around at all that I've been given And this life I'm livin' is my heave My heaven My heaven |

Well they finally put that red light up in the heart of town
Took the stop sign down, it was shot up anyhow One night I ran right through it in my Chevrolet Both police cars came, but I got away It was a boom town back in'62, 'til the coal ran out And a drought came through, and they dammed the river That we all used to fish Population 405 and I made it 404 one night And left the city limit sign layin' in the ditch Run plumb over it, leavin' Metropolis Well, I found myself in a big high-rise with a concrete yard It ain't safe after dark, guess this ol' boy drove too far Met a girl, fell in love, got married and she's due in May Says we're gonna need more space, I said I know just the place Where we can walk down to the country store And we won't even have to lock our door We can still get air and water there for free She said that sounds good to me It was a boom town back in '62, 'til the coal ran out And a drought came through, and they dammed the river That we all used to fish Population 404 and when we pull in it'll be 3 more And there's a city limit sign layin' in the ditch That I need to fix, back in Metropolis I'm almost in Metropolis And I'm back in Metropolis |

I cannot be bitter
Even when the tears fall Tho I had to let you go My heart knows I learned how to love from you You found somethin' hiding I did not know was missin' An un-lit fire down in my soul Now my heart knows I learned how to love from you You love like there never was a risk Shared your heart with every tender kiss Now I know how much I have to give Cause I learned how to love from you If I start to fall again I'll close my eyes and not resist Without fear I'll just let go Cause my heart knows That I learned how to trust In the power of a touch I learned how to love from you |

Alright boys, this is her favorite song, you know that, right? So if we play it good and loud she might get up and dance again Aw she's pretty good now Here she comes, here she comes Left, left, left-right-left Hustlers shootin' eight ball Throwin' darts at the walls Feeling damn near 10 feet tall Here she comes Lord help us all Old TW's girlfriend done slapped him out his chair Poor old boy it ain't his fault it's so hard not to stare at that [Chorus] Honky tonk badonkadonk Keepin' perfect rhythm make you want to swing along Got it goin' on like Donkey Kong And ooh well shut my mouth, slap your grandma There ought to be a law, get the sheriff on the phone Lord have mercy how'd she even get them britches on With that honky tonk badonkadonk, Aww, son Now honey you can't blame her for what her mama gave her It ain't right to hate her for working that moneymaker Band shuts down at two but we're hanging out 'til three We hate to see her go but love to watch her leave with that [Chorus] Aww, son Oh that's what I'm talkin' 'bout right there We don't care about the drinkin', barely listen to band Our hands they start to shakin' when she gets the urge to dance Drivin' everybody crazy you think you fell in love Boys you better keep your distance, you can look but you can't touch [Chorus] That honky tonk badonkadonk That's it right there boys That's why we do what we do It ain't for the money, it ain't for the glory It ain't for the free whiskey It's for the badonkadonk |
