Live Those Songs

Saw him sittin' on a sidewalk in Fresno
Braided hair and a tie-dyed t-shirt on
Talkin' to himself about Vietnam
About the tour he did and the deal he got
He said this world ain't the same if you ask me
If I could be somewhere else I tell you where I'd be

I'd be rollin' on a river with Credence
Stealin' kisses from Peggy Sue
I'd be knee-deep in sand on Panama beach
in the spring of '72
I'd be wastin' away on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll in
He said what I wouldn't give just to live those songs again

Saw him workin' the counter at Walgreen's
With a new haircut and a bachelor's degree
Talkin' to himself about his raw deal
Cussin' Uncle Sam and the GI bill
He said this world ain't the same if you ask me
If I could be somewhere else I tell you where I'd be

I'd be rollin' on a river with Credence
Stealin' kisses from Peggy Sue
I'd be knee-deep in sand on Panama beach
in the spring of '72
I'd be wastin' away on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll in
He said what I wouldn't give just to live those songs again

He said this world ain't the same if you ask me
If I could be somewhere else, I tell you where I'd be

I'd be rollin' on a river with Credence
Stealin' kisses from Peggy Sue
I'd be knee-deep in sand on Panama beach
in the spring of '72
I'd be wastin' away on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll in
He said what I wouldn't give just to live those songs again

Young

Looking back now well it makes me laugh
We were growin' our hair, we were cuttin' class
Knew it all already, there was nothing to learn
We were strikin' matches just to watch 'em burn

Listened to our music just a little too loud
We were hangin' in there with the outcast crowd
Headin' to the rapids with some discount beer
It was a long train trussle but we had no fear

Man I don't know where the time goes
But it sure goes fast just like that

We were wanna be rebels who didn't have a clue
in our rock n' roll t-shirts and our typically bad attitudes
Had no excuses for the things that we'd done
We were brave, we were crazy, we were mostly
Young

Talked a good game when we were out with the guys
but in the back seat we were awkward and shy
Girls were a mystery that we couldn't explain
and I guess there are some things that are never gonna change

Man I don't know where the time goes
But it sure goes fast just like that

We were wanna be rebels who didn't have a clue
in our rock n' roll t-shirts and our typically bad attitudes
Had no excuses for the things that we'd done
We were brave, we were crazy, we were mostly
Young

Young
Young
Yeah wishin' we were older
Young
Hey I wish it wasn't over

Man I don't know where the time goes
But it sure goes fast just like that

We were wanna be rebels who didn't have a clue
in our rock n' roll t-shirts and our typically bad attitudes
Had no excuses for the things that we'd done
We were brave, we were crazy, we were mostly
Young

Young
Hey wishin' we were older
Wish it wasn't over

Never Gonna Feel Like That Again

Friday night butterflies
like clockwork they'd arrive
A little chill in the October sky
Nervous till the kickoff came
Four quarters win or lose
Spent Saturdays black and blue
but it was what I loved to do
and it was more than just a game

It was my life and it was fun
Another season of my life is done
Another race I'm glad I got to run
Another chapter in my life is over

No I'm never gonna feel like that again
Time's rushin' by me like the wind
Never be as young as I was then
No I'm never gonna feel like that again

Practice dancin' in my garage
Two left feet and a white corsage
Daddy let me borrow the Dodge
Said don't bring her home on empty
Swung by and picked up Cindy Lou
Took her to the prom for a dance or two
Then we drove down to the water blue 
And that's where she kissed me

It was my life and it was fun
Another season of my life is done
Another race I'm glad I got to run
Another chapter of my life its over

No I'm never gonna feel like that again
Times rushin by me like the wind
Never be as young as I was then
No I'm never gonna feel like that again

I got a call one July day
Cindy Lou was in that way
I had a big decision to make
And I couldn't take it lightly
At first I thought of leavin' town
But I couldn't let our families down
Now I'm out here throwin' this ball around
With a boy that looks just likes me

It's my life and it's sure fun
Another season of my life's begun
Another race I'm glad I get to run
Another chapter of my life I'm writin'

No I'm never gonna feel like this again
Time's rushin' by me like the wind
Got to grab each moment that I can
'Cause I'm never gonna feel like this again
No I'm never gonna feel like this again
No I'm never gonna feel like this again

Beer in Mexico

Starin' out into the wild blue yonder
So many thoughts to sit and ponder
'Bout life and love and lack of
And this emptiness in my heart

Too old to be wild and free still
Too young to be over the hill
Should I try to grow up
But who knows where to start

So I just ...
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Do my best to waste another day
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Let the warm air melt these blues away

Sun comes up and sun sinks down
And I seen 'em both in this tourist town
Up for days in a rage
Just tryin' to search my soul

From the answers and the reasons why
I'm at these crossroads in my life
And I really don't know
Which way to go

So I just ...
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Do my best to waste another day
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Let the warm air melt these blues away

Maybe I'll settle down, get married
Or stay single and stay free
Which road I travel
Is still a mystery to me

So I'll just ...
Sit right here, have another beer in Mexico
Do my best to waste another day
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Let the warm air melt these blues away

Down in Mexico ...

Keg in the Closet

We had a dog named Bocephus livin' in the front yard
He liked sleepin' out on top of the car,
He drank beer out of a Mason jar,
And he'd climb up on everyone's bed

A white frame house in a college town
A bunch of people always hangin' around
No real problems we needed to drown
But we tried our best anyway

We went to class just to pass the time back in '89

We had a keg in the closet
Pizza on the floor
Left over from the night before
Where we were going we didnt really care
We had all we ever wanted
In that keg in the closet

This old guitar taught me how to score 
Right there on the Lambda Chi porch
Mary Anne taught me a little more 
About wantin what you can't have.

Sweatshirts and flag football
Spring breaks down in Panama,
For awhile we had it all 
we never dreamed it wouldn't last

We went to class just to pass the time back in '89

We had a keg in the closet
Pizza on the floor
Left over from the night before
Where we were going we didnt really care
We had all we ever wanted
In that keg in the closet

We all kinda went our separate ways
But I swear it seems like yesterday.

Keg in the closet
Pizza on the floor
Left over from the night before
Where we were going we didnt really care
We had all we ever wanted
In that keg in the closet

What I Need To Do

I keep telling myself this is the right thing to do
I was wastin' her time, waitin' on dreams that just weren't comin' true
And this old highway seems to understand
It's leadin me on to somewhere where no one knows my name
I got the window rolled down, I got the radio up
I'm doin' all I can to get my mind off us

What I need to do is turn this car around
Drive as fast as I can til I see the lights of our hometown
and run to her, take her in my arms
Make her see how sorry I am, well that shouldn't be so hard
But I drive on and on and on

Eighty-seven more miles will get me into Baton Rogue
There's a buddy of mine who says he might find some work that I can do
Or maybe head up north to Knoxville, Tennessee
I know my baby sister has got a couch where I can sleep
Now the sun's goin' down on my broken heart
Lord, I gotta get back before I go too far

What I need to do is turn this car around
Drive as fast as I can til I see the lights of our hometown
and run to her, take her in my arms
Make her see how sorry I am, well that shouldn't be so hard
But I drive on and on and on

But I drive on
Yes I drive on and on and on
Knowin' what I need to do
Girl I'm coming home to you

I Go Back

'Jack and Diane' painted a picture of my life and my dreams
Suddenly this crazy world made more sense to me
Well I heard it today and I couldn't help but sing along
'Cause every time I hear that song

I go back to a two-toned shortbed Chevy
Drivin' my first love out to the levee
Livin' life with no sense of time
And I go back to the feel of a 50 yard line
A blanket, a girl, some raspberry wine
Wishin' time would stop right in its tracks
Every time I hear that song
I go back
I go back

Well I used to rock all night long to 'Keep On Rockin' Me Baby'
Frat parties, college bars, just tryin' to impress the ladies
I heard it today and I couldn't help but sing along
'Cause every time I hear that song

I go back to the smell of an old gym floor
And the taste of salt on a Carolina shore
After graduation and drinkin' goodbye to friends
And I go back to watchin' summer fade to fall
Growin' up too fast and I do recall
Wishin' time would stop right in its tracks
Every time I hear that song
I go back
I go back

We all have a song that somehow stamped our lives
Takes us to another place and time

So I go back to a pew, preacher, and a choir
Singin' 'bout God, brimstone and fire
And the smell of Sunday chicken after church
And I go back to the loss of a real good friend
And the sixteen summers I shared with him
Now 'Only The Good Die Young' stops me in my tracks
And every time I hear that song
I go back
I go back

To the feel of a 50 yard line, a blanket, a girl and some raspberry wine
I go back
I go back

To watchin' summer fade to fall, growin' up too fast and I do recall
I go back
I go back

To the loss of a real good friend and the sixteen summers I shared with him
I go back
I go back
I go back

When the Sun Goes Down

Suntanned toes ticklin' the sand
Cold drink chillin in my right hand
Watchin' you sleep in the evening light
Restin' up for a long, long night

'Cause when the sun goes down, we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin' alright
When the sun sinks down over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down
Yeah

All day long just takin' it easy
Layin' in a hammock where it's nice and breezy
Sleepin' off the night before
'Cause when the sun goes down we'll be back for more

When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin' alright
When the sun sinks down over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down

This old guitar and my dark sunglasses
This sweet concoction as smooth as molasses
Nothing to do but breathe all day
'Til the big moon rises and it's time to play

When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin' alright
When the sun sinks down over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down
When the sun goes down

When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin' alright
When the sun sinks down over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down
Yeah

When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin' alright
When the sun sinks down over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down

When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin' alright
When the sun sinks down over the water
She thinks Kracker's sexy when the sun goes down

When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin' alright
When the sun sinks down over the water
Uncle Kenny's hotter when the sun goes down

When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down, hey Uncle Kenny
When the sun goes down over the water
Everything is hotter when the sun goes down

On the Coast of Somewhere Beautiful

Knew I could never hold that girl
She was born to see the world
All I got is a picture she mailed me
Barefoot in the snow white sand
A bag of sea shells in her hand
She finally found a paradise it seems

On the coast of somewhere beautiful
Trade winds blowin' through her hair
Sunlight dancin' on the water
Oh I wish I was there
Don't know how I'm gonna to find her
All I know so far
she's on the coast of somewhere beautiful
runnin' with my heart

Sometimes when the sun goes down
Shadows fall across this little town
And I close my eyes and I drift away
to another place in another time
when the world was ours and she was mine
I dream of holdin' her again someday

On the coast of somewhere beautiful
Trade winds blowin' through her hair
Sunlight dancin' on the water
Oh I wish I was there
Don't know how I'm gonna to find her
All I know so far
she's on the coast of somewhere beautiful
runnin' with my heart

Don't know how I'm gonna to find her
All I know so far
she's on the coast of somewhere beautiful
runnin' with my heart

Oh she's runnin' with my heart
On the coast of somewhere beautiful

Anything but Mine

Walkin' along beneath the lights of that Miracle Mile
Me and Mary making our way into the night
You can hear the cries from the carnival rides
The pinball bells and the skee-ball slides

Watchin' the summer sun fall out of sight
There's a warm wind coming in off of the ocean
Making its way past the hotel walls to fill the street
Mary is holding both of her shoes in her hand
Said she likes to feel the sand beneath her feet

And in the morning I'm leavin'
Makin' my way back to Cleveland
So tonight I hope that I will do just fine
And I don't see how you could ever be 
Anything but mine

There's a local band playing at the Seaside Pavilion
And I got just enough cash to get us in
And as we're dancin' Mary's wrappin' her arms around me
And I can feel the steam of summer on my skin

In the midst of the music I tell her I love her
And we both laugh 'cause we know it isn't true
Ah but Mary there's a summer drawing to an end tonight
And there's so much that I long to do to you

But in the morning I'm leavin'
Makin' my way back to Cleveland
So tonight I hope that I will do just fine
And I don't see how you could ever be 
Anything but mine

And in the morning I'm leavin'
Makin' my way back to Cleveland
So tonight I hope that I will do just fine
And I don't see how you could ever be 
Anything but mine

Mary I don't see how you could ever be 
Anything but mine

Back Where I Come From

In the town where I was raised
The clock ticked and the cattle grazed
Time passed with amazing grace
Back where I come from

You could lie on a river bank
Paint your name on a water tank
Or miscount all the beers you drank
Back where I come from

Back where I come from
Where I'll be when it's said and done
I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from

We learned in Sunday school,
Who made the sun shine through
I know who made the moonshine too
Back where I come from

Blue eyes on a Saturday night
Tan legs in the broad daylight
TVs they were black and white
Back where I come from

Back where I come from
Where I'll be when it's said and done
I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from

Some say it's a backward place
Narrow minds on a narrow wage
But I make it a point to say
That's where I come from

Back where I come from
Where I'll be when it's said and done
I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from

That's where I come from
I'm an old Tennessean
Well I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from

How Forever Feels

Big orange ball sinkin' in the water
Toes in the sand, couldn't get much hotter
Little umbrella-shaped margaritas
Coconut oil, tannin' senoritas
Oh now I know how Jimmy Buffet feels

Hands on the wheel cruisin' down the interstate
Gas pedal sticks, carries my car away
I was goin' as fast as a Rambler goes
I could feel the speed from my head to my toes
Now I know how Richard Petty feels

I've been around the block a time or two
Done almost everything a boy can do
I've done some livin', yeah I've had fun
But there is one thing that I haven't done

Saved two months, bought a little diamond
Tonight's the night, feels like perfect timin'
Down on one knee on her momma's front steps,
Man I'm gonna die if she really says yes

I wanna know how forever feels

I've been around the block a time or two
Done almost everything a boy can do
I've done some livin', yeah I've had fun
But there is one thing that I haven't done

I wanna know how forever feels
Hey I wanna know how forever feels
Girl I wanna know how forever feels

She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy

Plowin' these fields in the hot summer sun
Over by the gate Lordy here she comes
With a basket full of chicken and a big cold jug of sweet tea
I make a little room and she climbs on up
Open up the throttle and stir a little dust
Just look at her face she ain't a foolin' me

She thinks my tractor's sexy
It really turns her on
She's always staring at me
While I'm chuggin' along
She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan
She's the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor's sexy

We ride back and forth until we run out of light
Take it to the barn. put it up for the night
Climb up in the loft sit and talk with the radio on
She said she's got a dream and I asked what it is
She wants a little farm and a yard full of kids
And one more teeny weeny ride before I take her home

She thinks my tractor's sexy
It really turns her on
She's always staring at me
While I'm chuggin' along
She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan
She's the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor's sexy

Well she ain't into cars or pickup trucks
But if it runs like a Deere man her eyes light up

She thinks my tractor's ...

She thinks my tractor's sexy
It really turns her on
She's always staring at me
while I'm chuggin' along
She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan
She's the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor's sexy

She thinks my tractor's sexy
She thinks my tractor's sexy
