Brooks & Dunn - Reboot II Lyrics
(Featuring Earls of Leicester, Halestorm)






Play Something Country

Yes, she blew through the door like TNT,
Put her hand on her hip, pointed a finger at me.
Said "I'm a whiskey drinking, cowboy chasing, helluva time.
"I like Kenny, Keith, Allan and Patsy Cline.
"I'm a full grown queen bee looking for honey.
"Ha oh ho, aw, play something country."

Yeah, the band took a break,
The DJ played P Diddy.
She said "I didn't come here to hear,
Something thumping from the city."
Said "I, I shaved my legs, I paid my money."
Ha oh ho, play something country."
"Ha oh ho, aw, play something country."

Crank up the band, play the steel guitar.
Hank it up a little, let's rock this bar.
Threw back a shot, yelled "I'm a George Strait junkie."
"Ha oh ho, play something country."
"Ha oh ho, aw, play something country."

Yeah, the bartender yelled "y'all, it's closing time."
She got this wild look on her face,
An' said "Your truck or mine,
"I know a place down the road,
"It's kinda funky.
"Ha oh ho, all out in the country.
"Ha oh ho, now, play something country."

Crank up the band, play the steel guitar.
Hank it up a little, let's rock this bar.
Threw back a shot, yelled "I'm a George Strait junkie."
"Ha oh ho, play something country."
"Ha oh ho, aw, play something country."

Crank up the band, play the steel guitar.
Hank it up a little, let's rock this bar.
Threw back a shot, yelled "I'm a George Strait junkie."
"Ha oh ho, play something country."
"Ha oh ho, aw, play something country."

Neon Moon

When the sun goes down on my side of town
That lonesome feeling comes to my door
And the whole world turns blue
There's a rundown bar 'cross the railroad tracks
I got a table for two way in the back
Where I sit alone and think of losing you

I spend most every night
Beneath the light
Of a neon moon

Now if you lose your one and only
There's always room here for the lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon

I think of two young lovers running wild and free
I close my eyes and sometimes see
You in the shadows of this smoke-filled room
No telling how many tears I've sat here and cried
Or how many lies that I've lied
Telling my poor heart she'll come back someday

Oh, but I'll be alright
As long as there's light
From a neon moon

Oh, if you lose your one and only
There's always room here for the lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon

Jukebox plays on, drink by drink
And the words of every sad song seem to say what I think
And its hurt inside of me, ain't never gonna end

Oh, but I'll be alright
As long as there's light
From a neon moon

Oh, if you lose your one and only
There's always room here for the lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon

Come watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon
Oh, watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon

Rock My World (Little Country Girl)

She's got a T-Top Camaro with a scoop on the hood
And two big speakers blasting Johnny B. Goode
Looking so sweet it oughta be a crime
She plays with my heart and messes with my mind
Acts like Madonna but she listens to Merle
Rock my world little country girl

She wears snakeskin boots made by Calvin Klein
And cheap sunglasses from the five and dime
All the other girls in school they give her dirty looks
She got an "A" in math and never cracked a book
Sure looks good in her denim and pearls
Rock my world little country girl

Rock my world
Drag me out on the floor
Dance with me 'till I can't dance anymore
One-step, two-step, get in a line
I gotta find a way to make you mine

Rock my world

I tell her that I love her but it ain't enough
She says I got to learn to loosen up
Get a little wild on Saturday night
But make sure she's home before the mornin' light
Sunday she's all ribbons and curls
Rock my world little country girl

Rock my world
Drag me out on the floor
Dance with me 'till I can't dance anymore
One-step, two-step, get in a line
I gotta find a way to make you mine

(Rock my world) Rock my world little country girl
Rock my world little country girl
Rock my world little country girl
Rock my world little country girl
Rock my world little country girl (rock my world)
Rock my world little country girl
Rock my world

Ain't Nothing 'Bout You

Once I thought that love was something I could never do
Never knew that I could feel this much
But this yearning in the deep part of my heart for you
Is more than a reaction to your touch
It's a perfect passion and I can't get enough

The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
There ain't nothing 'bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss, the way you cry,
The way you move when you walk by
There ain't nothing 'bout you (there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me

In my life I've been hammered by some heavy blows
That never knocked me off my feet
All you gotta do is smile at me and down I go
And baby it's no mystery why I surrender
Girl you got everything

The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
There ain't nothing 'bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss, the way you cry,
The way you move when you walk by
There ain't nothing 'bout you (there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me

I love your attitude, your rose tattoo, your every thought
Your smile, your lips and girl the list goes on and on and on

The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
There ain't nothing 'bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss, the way you cry,
The way you move when you walk by
There ain't nothing 'bout you (there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me

The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
Your dance, your drive, you make me feel alive

The way you talk, the way you tease
By now I think you see
There ain't nothing 'bout you that don't do something for me

Brand New Man

I saw the light
I've been baptized
By the fire in your touch
And the flame in your eyes
I'm born to love again
I'm a brand new man

Well, the whole town's talkin'
'Bout the line I'm walkin'
That leads right to your door
Oh, how I used to roam
I was a rolling stone

I used to have a wild side
They say a country mile wide
I'd burn those beer joints down
That's all changed now
You turned my life around

Whoa, I saw the light
I've been baptized
By the fire in your touch
And the flame in your eyes
I'm born to love again
I'm a brand new man

I used to love 'em and leave 'em
Whoa, I'd brag about my freedom
How no one could tie me down
Then I met you
Now my heart beats true

Baby, you and me together
Feels more like forever
Than anything I've ever known
We're right on track
I ain't looking back

Yeah, I saw the light
I've been baptized
By the fire in your touch
And the flame in your eyes
I'm born to love again
I'm a brand new man

Whoa, I saw the light
I've been baptized
By the fire in your touch
And the flame in your eyes
I'm born to love again
I'm a brand new man

Yeah, I saw the light
I've been baptized
By the fire in your touch
And the flame in your eyes
I'm born to love again
I'm a brand new man

Yeah, I'm born to love again
I'm a brand new man

Believe

Old man Wrigley lived in that white house
Down the street where I grew up
My mama used to send me over with things
We struck a friendship up
I spent a few long summers
Out on his old porch swing

Says he was in the war when in the Navy
Lost his wife, lost his baby
Broke down and asked him one time
How you keep from going crazy
He said I'll see my wife and son in just a little while
I asked him what he meant
He looked at me and smiled, said

I raise my hands, bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
They tell me that there's more to life
Than just what I can see
Oh, I believe

Few years later I was off at college
Talkin' to mom on the phone one night
Getting all caught up on the gossip
The ins and outs of the small town life
She said oh by the way son, hmm, old man Wrigley has died

Later on that night, I laid there thinkin' back
Thought 'bout a couple long lost summers
I didn't know whether to cry or laugh
If there was ever anybody deserved a ticket to the other side
It'd be that sweet old man who looked me in the eye, said

I raise my hands, bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
They tell me that there's more to life
Than just what I can see (see)

I can't quote the book
The chapter or the verse
You can't tell me it all ends
In a slow ride in a hearse
You know I'm more and more convinced
The longer that I live
Yeah, this can't be
No, this can't be
No, this can't be all there is

I raise my hands, bow my head
Oh, I'm finding more and more truth
In the words written in red
They tell me that there's more to life
Than just what I can see (just what I can see)
Believe

Oh, I
I believe
I believe (I believe)
Hmm (I believe)
I believe (I believe)
I believe (I believe)
(I believe) Oh, I believe (I believe)
Hmm (I believe, I believe)

She Used to Be Mine

She looks so good movin' cross the dance floor
Better than the day she left me
Arm in arm with somebody new
Holdin' hands and laughin' like we used to
I got my best smile on but it's no disguise
It don't hide the pain in these eyes

[Chorus]
I did her so wrong for so long
Turned my back on her love now she's long gone
I did my part to break her heart
She walked out on me and tore my world apart
She used to be mine
Oh she used to be mine

It's takin' every bit of strength that I have
To keep a hurt look off my face
I can't keep from lookin' back over my shoulder
At the lucky man taking my place
Oh, if it weren't for my pride I'd probably take off runnin'
I guess what I'm feelin' is what I got comin'

[Chorus: x2]

Oh she used to be mine
She used to be mine

She Likes to Get Out of Town

Looking at her phone desk tappin her feet
The kind of girl your mama likes to meet
A Sunday school dress buttoned up tight
When the weekend comes she's like a red taillight

She likes to get outta town
Yeah she likes to get outta town
Shes got a little red rag top she just bought
Just forty-five minutes from her two days off
Shes watching the clock just counting it down
That girl likes to get outta town

Shes got a little glove box with everything she needs
Got some red lipstick, and some Mardi Gras beads
Got some party girlfriends like to keep it unwound
That girl likes to get outta town

She likes to get outta town
Yeah, she likes to get outta town
They've got a motel room with a single bed
Just a singing down the road going out of their heads
Gonna turn it on up
Time to party on down
That girl likes to get outta town

Yeah yeah my my
Big fun's close as the city limit sign
Yeah yeah do tell
Daddy's little angel gonna raise a little,
Well well well well

Shes got a second cousin that keeps her on the phone
Got an ex-boyfriend that wont leave her alone
Oh but it wont hurt em what they don't know
What goes on the road
Stays on the road

She likes to get outta town
Yeah she likes to get outta town
She was born to shake it and its not her fault
But the competition just loves to talk
Shes so tired of them putting her down
That girl likes to get outta town

She likes to get outta town
Yeah she likes to get outta town
Its time to crank it on up
Time to party on down
That girl likes to that girl likes to get outta town
Gonna crank it gonna crank it

Boot Scootin' Boogie

Out in the country
Past the city limits sign
Well there's a honky tonk
Near the county line
The joint starts jumpin' every night
When the sun goes down
They got whiskey, women, music and smoke
It's where all the cowboy folk
Go to boot scootin' boogie

I got a good job
I work hard for my money
When it's quittin' time I hit the door runnin'
I fire up my pickup truck
And let the horses run
I go flyin' down that highway
To that hideaway
Stuck out in the woods
To do the boot scootin boogie

Yeah, heel toe do si do
Come on baby let's go boot scootin'
Oh, Cadillac blackjack, baby meet me out back
We're gonna boogie
Oh, get down, turn around, go to town
Boot scootin' boogie

The bartender asks me say son what'll it be
I want a shot at that redhead yonder lookin' at me
The dance floors hoppin' and it's hotter than the fourth of July
I see outlaws, inlaws crooks and straights all out makin' it shake
Doin' the boot scootin' boogie

Yeah, heel toe do si do
Come on baby let's go boot scootin'
Oh, Cadillac blackjack baby meet me out back
We're gonna boogie
Get down, turn around, go to town
Boot scootin' boogie

Oh, heel toe do si do
Come on baby let's go boot scootin'
Yeah, Cadillac blackjack baby meet me out back
We're gonna boogie
Yeah, get down, turn around, go to town
Boot scootin' boogie

I said, get down, turn around, go to town

Oh, get down, turn around, go to town

That Ain't No Way to Go

Lipstick letters across the mirror this morning
Said, "goodbye, baby." You left with no warning
Like a thief in the night, you ran away with my heart
I can't believe my eyes, must be a bad dream
You always said we had a good thing
You never once let on we were falling apart

[Chorus]
That ain't no way to go, girl, it just ain't right
Don't you think that I deserve to hear you say goodbye
That ain't no way to go, was it all a lie?
After all this time, that ain't no way to go

Getting nowhere, I'm tired of thinking
Guess I'll do a little wishful drinking
And make a whiskey wish upon a star
Train whistle blowing down the tracks
Lonesome sound says she ain't coming back
It's such a cold blow from out of the dark

[Chorus]

How Long Gone

I keep thinkin' any minute you'll be comin' home honey
I ain't seen nothin' of you in a month of sundays
Tell me how long gone are you gonna be

All you said was you had to get goin'
Oh but baby I wouldn't mind knowin' just
How long gone are you gonna be

How am I supposed to make any plans
When I still don't even understand
If you're ever gonna come back home to me
How long gone are you gonna be

Maybe I didn't pay enough attention
But I do believe you forgot to mention
Just how long gone are you gonna be

The phone ain't ringin', 'cause you ain't callin'
I ain't been hearin' your footsteps fallin'
Tell me how long gone are you gonna be

How am I supposed to make any plans
When I still don't even understand
If you're ever gonna come back home to me
Tell me please
How long gone are you gonna be
Tell me how long gone are you gonna be

I'll Never Forgive My Heart

Hello heartache who let you in
I swore the last time never again
Back together just you and me
Where's you old friend Mr. Misery

I went and did it I dropped my guard
I fell in and I fell hard
Now she's sayin' she's found someone new
How could I have been such a fool

Oh close the door turn out the lights draw the curtain
I'll get over her in time it's gonna take some hurtin'
I tell myself I told you so as I fall apart
I can't blame love
But I'll never forgive my heart

Oh close the door turn out the lights draw the curtain
I'll get over her in time it's gonna take some hurtin'
I tell myself I told you so as I fall apart
I can't blame love
But I'll never forgive my heart

She's Not the Cheatin' Kind

She's dressed to kill in a dress he bought her
She wouldn't care if he walked in and caught her
She's come to dance a dance or two
And do no tellin' what by the time the night is through

She found out the hard way about him
She's out to find out how she'll do without him
Her hands are shakin', her heart's pounding
By the way she's drinking his memory's drowin'

She's not the cheatin' kind
She's been cheated one too many times
Oh, she's never fooled around
He's still lyin' she's through cryin'
She's not foolin' now

She walks by and every head turns
You can see how hot her fire burns
He didn't know what a good thing he had
When it's too late and that's too bad

She's not the cheatin' kind
She's been cheated one too many times
Oh, she's never fooled around
He's still lyin' she's through cryin'
She's not foolin' now

Oh, she's not the cheatin' kind
She's been cheated one too many times

Hard Workin' Man

I'm a hard workin' man
I wear a steel hard hat
I can ride, rope, hammer and paint
Do things with my hands that most men can't
I can't get ahead no matter how hard I try
I'm gettin' really good at barely gettin' by

Got everything I own
By the sweat of my brow
From my four-wheel drive to my cowboy boots
I owe it all to my blue collar roots
I feel like I'm workin' overtime on a runaway train
I've got to bust loose from this ball and chain

I'm a hard, hard workin man
I got it all on the line
For a peace of the promised land
I'm burnin' my candle at both ends
'Bout the only way to keep the fire goin'
Is to outrun the wind

Come Friday night
I like to party hard
I carry on with the Cadillac cuties
Spend my whole week's pay on some weekend beauty
Come Monday mornin' I'm the first to arrive
I ain't nothin' but business from nine till five

I'm a hard, hard workin man
I got it all on the line
For a peace of the promised land
I'm burnin' my candle at both ends
'Bout the only way to keep the fire goin'
Is to outrun the wind

I can't wait to get up in the mornin'
And do it all over again
Well I'm a hard livin', hard workin' man

Hillbilly Deluxe

Well, up in the backwoods, down in the holler
Old boy feeling like a dog on a collar
Keepin' that chain hold tight
Waiting on Saturday night
Put on the smell good
Put on Skynyrd
Head into town like a Nascar winner
Cruisin' back and forth to the Tasty Freeze
Everywhere you look all you see is

Hillbilly deluxe, slick pick up trucks
Big timing in a small town
Stirrin' it up right about sundown
Black denim and chrome to the bone
With a little homegrown
Country girl cuddled up
Hillbilly deluxe

Couple kids, sweet thing driving a fast back
Shoot 'em a coon smile
Hoping that they smile back
Hey, baby, what's your name?
Burn a little rubber when the red light change
Here come the blue light
Here come Barney
Hide all the beer y'all
Let's move the party
Gotta go but that's alright
Do it all again next Friday night

Hillbilly deluxe, slick pick up trucks
Big timing in a small town
Stirrin' it up right about sundown
Black denim and chrome to the bone
With a little homegrown
Country girl cuddled up
Hillbilly deluxe

Hillbilly deluxe, slick pick up trucks

Indian Summer

The tall weeds lay flat down
On the hard flat Kansas ground
And a sad song in her head
Kept goin' round

She barely even knew his name
But she liked the way he played the game
Everybody cheered
When he scored that last touchdown

Indian Summer
The wonder
The hunger
And the sound of distant thunder
Indian Summer

Tangled in a moment of truth
A bottle of wine in a motel room
Blue haze circled 'round
The cold gray moon

While the wind chased the leaves outside
Passion found a place to hide
Late September heat
Couldn't be denied

Oh Indian Summer
The wonder
The hunger
And the sound of distant thunder
Indian Summer

She never even finished school
People like to talk, they can be so cruel
Her California was a place
To start brand new

So she left that dust bowl town
Sometimes we'll all know how
I wonder where we'd be
If I never scored that last touchdown

Summer
The wonder
The hunger,
And the sound of distant thunder
Indian Summer

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh woah!

Drop in the Bucket

It's just a drop in the bucket until the bucket fills up
Until the bucket fills up it's just a drop in the bucket

It's a wildcard drawn until you draw to a pair
Then you draw another pair and you're getting somewhere
Just a penny on the street until you stop and pick it up
When you stop and pick it up, it can change your luck

Oh, it's just another day until it turns into night
Then the lights get bright and you feel alright
And it's just another pair of old cowboy boots
Until you're on that floor and you start to move
It's just another song on that old guitar
Until the old guitar makes you a star

A shot of brown liquor and a smoky bar
Can make you a little bit better than you are
A small dance floor and a long slow dance
Can turn into a real romance
Take a chance
It's just an innocent kiss until it feels like this
When it feels like this then you just can't miss
She ain't nothing but a dream until you find that girl
When you find that girl she can change your world

Take a long hot day and some bright sunshine
To make a little thing called summertime
Take a walk out on the beach and a tender touch
Make a little thing called love
Talking sweet love

Only in America

Sun coming' up over New York City
School bus driver in a traffic jam
Staring out at the faces in a rear view mirror
Lookin' at the promise of the Promised Land

One kid dreams of fame and fortune
One kid helps pay the rent
One could end up going to prison
One just might be president

Only in America
Dreamin' in red white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to

We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America

Sun goin' down on an LA freeway
Newly weds in the back of a limousine
A welder's son and a banker's daughter
All they want is every thing

She came out here to be an actress
He was a singer in a band
They might just go back to Oklahoma
And talk about the stars they could have been

Only in America
Dreamin' in red white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to

We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America

O-only in America
Where we dream in red white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to

We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America

Yeah, only in America

Only in America
Where we dream in red white and blue
Yeah we dream as big as we want to
Only in America

Reboot II is the twelfth studio album by American country music duo Brooks & Dunn. It is a follow-up to their 2019 album Reboot, featuring re-recordings of Brooks & Dunn's hit singles with guest vocals from other artists.

Among these are the Earls of Leicester on a bluegrass rendition of "How Long Gone", and rock band Halestorm on "Boot Scootin' Boogie".

According to the duo, each collaborative artist was allowed creative input on which song they covered. The album precedes the duo's Neon Moon Tour, to begin in 2025.
