Mark Wills

Ahh, Come on
Here we go

He was an underdog
A no threat
A nascar drunky
A rooky
A wanabe
Still wet behind the ears
A red line baron just gammin his gears
There are those that are
And those that ain't
The quickest get stickers
He was nuttin but paint
Shartruse paint

Then he rased
Now we cut to
The last 10 laps
And here comes junior
Sneakin up from the back of the pack
With fire in his eyes
Wavin out the window
As he's passin um by
The tention mounds
Now he's number 2
All out of rubba
And runnin on fuse
He's door to door
Outta time for
He sees those checkers
And he hears that roar

Chrous:
And the crowd goes wild!
And the crowd goes wild!
You're shinnin like a superstar baby
And the crowd goes wild!

He played the Honky Tonks
The road side bars
A real hum dinger
A blue eyed singer
With a red guitar
Around his neck
Payin them dues
'Bout stoppin his debt
But he told his mama
Every time he come back
One of these days
I'm gona buy you a big, long Catalac
And get you outta this shack

And then he hit the road
Frontin the band
6 long hairs bobbin up and down
In a Chevy van
All beat up
He did a lot of givin
But he never gave up
But one night
He wrote a song
Made a little record
That started catchin on
Now it's collisiums
He's all the rage
The lights go down
When he hits the stage

Chrous:
And the crowd goes wild!
And the crowd goes wild!
You're shinnin like a superstar baby
And the crowd goes wild!
You're shinnin like a superstar
Hey

(Speaking)
"And here's the 2/2 to Parker
Hit high in deep, right field
Jones to the back
To the wall
Goodbye!"
"Setup is good
Kick is in the air
It's got the distance
It's good!"
"He gets the 4 main front
And 3 wide receavers
2 to the left
He goes back to throw
Has time
To the end zone
Touchdown!"

End Chorus:
And the crowd goes wild!
And the crowd goes wild!
You're shinnin like a superstar baby
And the crowd goes wild!
You're shinnin like a superstar
And the crowd goes wild!
You're shinnin like a superstar baby
And the crowd goes wild!
You're shinnin like a superstar
You're shinnin like a superstar baby
And the crowd goes wild!
You're shinnin like a superstar
And the crowd goes wild!
Whoa!
You're shinnin like a superstar baby
You're shinnin like a superstar

Jenny's daddy was five years gone
By the time that Jenny was six years old
It was her and her mom and her parakeet Pete
In a little blue house at the end of the street
Her friends asked her what her daddy did
And You know how it is when you're just a kid
She couldn't tell them that she didn't know, so
Jenny just lied and told 'em

Chorus:
He's a cowboy ridin' the range
He's got a painted pony with a flowin' mane
And he's chasin' the sun, dodgin' the rain and
He don't go runnin' away when it gets tough
He's made of that stuff
That Don't let you down, boy
No, he's a cowboy
He's a cowboy

10 years later after a pillow fight
Well, Jenny and her friends got to talkin' about life
And what they're gonna do when they graduate
And what kind of guy they're gonna marry one
And all of her friends said the usual stuff
You know doctors and lawyers and bankers and such
But Jenny didn't even bat an eye
When she started talkin' 'bout her dream guy
It was a...

Repeat Chorus

Well, Jenny married a guy named Mike
And they had a little boy, and they started life
But Mike ran off four years ago
And now her little boy is five years old
And Jenny looks out the window and smiles
At the way life works when you give it a while
Her little man runnin' 'round out back
With a stick horse and a little red hat

Repeat Chorus

Jenny finally got her that cowboy

Chestnut hair with just a touch of gray
Shadows of a few more years on her face
That ain't the girl that I knew yesterday
Oh no, now, that's a woman

Up and running at the crack of dawn
There ain't always time to get her make up on
But she's more beautiful without it on
Oh yeah, that's a woman

She's got a grace that I don't understand
She can move mountains with those tender hands
She makes a king out of a common man
Yeah that's me, lucky me

Ohh.. ohh.. oh.. oh.. yeah..

She makes a king out of a common man
Yeah that's me
yeah that's me

In the evening when the kids are down
And I can see she's getting sleepy now
Still she finds some time for me somehow
Oh, now, that's a woman

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out

I'm not afraid to cry
Every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days
Every now and again
I pretend I'm ok but that's not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
Not seeing that love in you
Is what I was trying to do

It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doing it
It's hard to force that smile when I see your old friends and I'm alone

Still harder
Getting up, getting dressed
Dealing with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade
Give away
All the words that I say
Through my heart that I left unspoken

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
Not seeing that love in you
Is what I was trying to do

Is what I was trying to do
Oh wow oh wow

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
Not seeing that love in you
Is what I was trying to do

Is what I was trying to do
Yeah...
And never knowing
What could have been
Not seeing that love in you
Is what I was trying to do

What hurts the most

Thirty-one and six foot even she still looks at me and sees
Her wide eyed boy, six years old reachin' for her hand to hold
She still tells me, "Wipe your feet son, wash your hands, it's time to eat"
She believes she's heaven-sent to protect my long lost innocence

What she sees in me is nothing but the best
In her eyes I'll never be anything less
It's a love strong enough to forgive the rest
If only I could always be what she sees in me

This ain't the paradise I promised her it's just a slice of life
With an average man honest work with calloused hands
And it bothers me I can't deliver all the things I swore I'd give her
But she looks into my eyes like life with me is some kind of prize

What she sees in me is nothing but the best
In her eyes I'll never be anything less
It's a love strong enough to forgive the rest
If only I could always be what she sees in me

Three years old and two foot four each day when I walk through the door
She runs to me and holds me tight and in her eyes there shines a light
That reaches to the deepest part of all that's good inside my heart
The places that are kind and true and I know I must live up to

What she sees in me is nothing but the best
In her eyes I'll never be anything less
It's a love strong enough to forgive the rest
If only I could always be what she sees in me

So, you say you went to see a psychic
Lookin' for advice
They said when you go to sleep at night
Don't close both eyes

Something's going on in your love life
Someone real close has somethin' to hide
Now you want to hear a confession from me
Well, you better sit down, I'll tell you everything...It goes

I want to get married in Mexico
Whisper, "I told you so,"
When you get lost in that sunset
Sing an old Spanish lullaby

Where every word makes you cry
I've got two plane tickets and a ring
Yea, here it is, I confess
I told you everything

There it is
I told you everything
The other day I was lookin' at my horoscope
Searchin' for a sign

Facin' one big decision
I couldn't make up my mind
How would I ask
You for the rest of your life

When it goes by so fast
Now that you know, tell me are you surprised?
What are you gonna do with that tear in your eye?
I want to get married in Mexico

Whisper, "I told you so,"
When you get lost in that sunset
Sing an old Spanish lullaby
Where every word makes you cry

I've got two plane tickets and a ring
Yea, here it is, I confess
I told you everything
There it is

I told you everything
I can see us now holdin' hands
Staring out the window looking down
Above the clouds makin' plans

For when that big bird touches down
But for now
I want to get married in Mexico
Whisper, "I told you so,"

When you get lost in that sunset
Sing an old Spanish lullaby
Where every word makes you cry
I've got two plane tickets and a ring

Yea, here it is, I confess
I told you everything
There it is

I told you everything
I told you everything
I told you everything
There it is

She walks in through the screen door, wearin' a cotton dress
That gets my imagination up and runnin'
Slips it off to reveal a suntan that she got in Barbados
With her friends while they were summer sunnin'

I think, I'll acquire
A previous commitment
Hold all my calls
Everyone can wait a minute

Man, that girl is so fine
She just blows my mind
All she does is smile
And gets my motor runnin'

She don't need Dolce and Gabbana
I'm her biggest fan
When she's wearin'
Nothin' but a suntan

She's the kind of girl your mama warned you about
When you see her walkin' by, you stop for green lights
She's cool, air conditioned all the time
No need to chill her wine, she's that fine, that's right

No Prada or Gucci clothes
No, that don't get it
She don't need a mink coat
So just forget it

Man, that girl is so fine
She just blows my mind
All she does is smile
And gets my motor runnin'

She don't need Dolce & Gabbana
I'm her biggest fan
When she's wearin'
Nothin' but a suntan

Man, that girl is so fine
She just blows my mind
All she does is smile
And gets my motor runnin'

She don't need Dolce and Gabbana
I'm her biggest fan
When she's wearin'
Nothin' but a suntan

Man, that girl is so fine
She just blows my mind
All she does is smile
And gets my motor runnin'

She don't need Dolce and Gabbana
I'm her biggest fan
When she's wearin'
Nothin' but a suntan

Yeah, that girl is so fine
All she does is smile
And gets my motor runnin'
Yeah, nothin' but a suntan
Oh yeah, nothin' but a suntan

T.J and Charley had a little bar band
They played covers every Friday night
Bonnie was a waitress and a big fan
And every break the three of them would
Take a drink and talk about life

When it came to love, money or fame
Charley's philosophy was always the same

It ain't how good you are
It's how bad you want it
It ain't how good you are
It's how bad you want it

Well, Charley loaded his old Impala
And T.J. said, "I think I'm gonna stay"
When you hit it big there, give us a holler
And as the dust settled back down
Bonnie turned and asked T.J

"Why don't you go, you're good enough to try'"
T.J. said, "Bonnie, Charley was right"

It ain't how good you are
It's how bad you want it
Do you want it'
It ain't how good you are
It's how bad you want it, how bad

Well Charley got to tour with Lynyrd Skynyrd
And when his silver bus came rollin' through
Well, Bonnie made 'em all a fried chicken dinner
And when she left to get them pie
Charley said, "I loved her too"

How she end up with you instead'
T.J. said, "Charley, it's just like you said"

It ain't how good you are
It's how bad you want it
Do you want it' Yeah
Yeah, it ain't how good you are
It's how bad you want it, do you want it'

Yeah, it ain't how good you are
It's how bad you want it
Hey, do you want it' ya

Wheels are turnin'
I feel my whole life spinnin' 'round
Stars are burnin'
I don't even know where I am
Sometimes the road seems like such a crazy way to live
Sometimes my dreams take more, more than I can give

[Chorus]
When I need you
Gotta see you
I find a way to break through
And I can almost feel your touch
When I'm restless
Feelin' desperate
I know I'll never make it
Without your love
Even though you're a thousand miles away from me tonight
I can see you, you're right here by my side
I just close my eyes
I just close my eyes

People surround me
Still I feel so alone
Lost and empty
Every time we hang up the phone
God knows I'd turn around and run to you right now
I've still got three more nights and two more towns

[Chorus: x2]

I just close my eyes
I just close my eyes

I'll be glad to sign my autograph if you want me to
God knows I love singin', that's what I was born to do
You see me up there center stage in the spotlight for a while
But in the things that really matter I'm just sittin' on the aisle

'Cause I've seen a third grade angel with dark circles 'neath her eyes
Not a trace of hair left on her head saying, "Daddy, please don't cry"
A single Mom working overtime, a college kid readin' to the blind
When you look for heroes know that I'm just a singer in a band

I'm thankful to be living in this childhood dream come true
But sometimes the attention just leaves me confused
Yeah, I love my T-shirt on those kids, my name there up in lights
But when the show is done and I'm on the bus ridin' through the night

I think of New York City and those firemen and cops
Who ran in and laid down their lives because it was their job
A soldier in a field of mines with each step he lays it on the line
When you look for heroes know that I'm just a singer in a band

I'm humbled when you take the time to hear my life in verse and rhyme
But when it comes to heroes know that I'm just a singer in a band
I'm a singer in a band
I'll be glad to sign my autograph if you want me to
God knows I love singin', that's what I was born to do

I'm chasing down a memory
Of the way that things used to be
Kids playing underneath an old
street light
Knowing they were safe when they
laid down at night
I'm looking for something I
ain't seen in a while
I'm looking for a factory
Where a man can feed his family
Not worried about them
moving it South
Closing the doors and shut 'er
down tomorrow
I'm looking for America
The land of the free and home of
the brave
Seems like I just woke up one day
And it was gone long gone
But I know in my heart is still
out there
Can somebody please tell me where
I'm looking for America
I'm searching for an
old church steeple
Where inside you find people
Who live their lives unashamed
And they ain't afraid to say
God's name out loud
I'm looking for America
The land of the free and home of
the brave
Seems like I just woke up one day
And it was gone long gone
But I know in my heart is still
out there
Can somebody please tell me where
I'm looking for America
I'm out here looking
for the truth
A few folks to waive the red
white and blue
Who still believe freedom
isn't free
And I guess is up to you and
me to find it
Yeah we got to find it
Cause we're looking for
The land of the free and home of
the brave
Seems like I just woke up one day
And it was gone long gone
But I know in my heart is still
out there
Can somebody please tell me where
I'm looking for
Well I'm looking for
yeah we're looking for
America America

He almost forgot how to drive
over here
By he tries to survive over there
Some young conscious
ripped him off
And ran him over the road
He just turned 22 last week
In the back of a strike
somewhere in Tehran
He never thought
he lived to this old
It's crazy being home
It's crazy being home
He stepped off a plane
Feels like yesterday
They were waving flags and signs
with his names
They said they will pray for
what he done
if they only knew what he had
became
The girl in love
she swore that she'll wait
But he came home to a
cold empty place
Got a burger today and
got a new cell phone
It's crazy being home
The stars all look the same
He still answers to his name
It's ok something it just
ain't right
He tried to fight for what you love
But his young eyes
have seen too much
Till you will be where he has been
You wouldn't understand
I hope you will never
have to my friend
He got to call us back on a plane
To where he belong might sound
the same
His brothers are there he can't
find this alone
So they dropped them right there
in the blood red sand
His best friends is locked and
in his hands
And the sergeant yells
boys it's time to go
And he thought
it's crazy being home
It's crazy being home
It's crazy being home
It's crazy being home
It's crazy being home
crazy being home
Yeah It's crazy being home

Dance like you've never been
hurt like you've never
been sad baby
Dance like this beautiful
moment is all that's you have
Don't be afraid all your
waitin' is over
Just look in my eyes and not
over your shoulder
Don't let one memory get in
your way
Baby dance like
there's no yesterday
If you've been lost if you've
been wrong
If you've been broken and left
all alone
If you've seen night
you thought wouldn't end
If you felt like you don't have
any friends
This is your time
this is your chance
To dance like you've never been
hurt like you've never been
sad baby
Dance like this beautiful
moment is all that you have
Don't be afraid all your
waitin' is over
Just look in my eyes and not
over your shoulder
Don't let one memory get in
your way
Baby dance like there's no
yesterday
Baby dance like there's no
yesterday
There's no place you've been
That matters a bit anymore
Tonight we begin
And it's all about love baby
All about love so just
Dance like you've never been
hurt like you've never been
sad baby
Dance like this beautiful
moment is all that you have
Dance like you've never been
hurt like you've never been
sad baby
Dance like this beautiful
moment is all that you have
Don't be afraid all your
waitin' is over
Just look in my eyes and not
over your shoulder
Don't let one memory get in
your way
Baby dance like there's no
yesterday
Baby dance like there's no
yesterday
Baby just dance
Like there's no yesterday
Like there's no yesterday
