Jason Aldean - Night Train Album Lyrics

This Nothin' Town

Got us a sunset sinking into a friday night
Got us some beer needs drinking hey and we just might
Sometimes we gotta make it up as we go
But layin' low ain't all that goes on 'round here

It might look a little laid back to ya
But it ain't all just porches and plows
But don't let that one red light fool ya
There's always something going down
In this nothing town

That old abandoned factory just got the wrecking ball
We threw a party in the parking lot just to watch it fall
Sometimes we gotta make it up as we go
But laying low ain't all that goes on round here

It might look a little laid back to ya
But it ain't all just porches and plows
But don't let that one red light fool ya
There's always something going down
In this nothing town
In this nothing town

Somebody's backyard
Some river bank
Sometimes c'mon y'all
Yeah that's all it takes

It might look a little laid back to ya
But it ain't all just porches and plows
But don't let that one red light fool ya
There's always something going down
In this nothing town

There's something going down
In this nothing town

When She Says Baby

Some days it's tough just gettin' up
Throwin' on these boots and makin' that climb
Some days I'd rather be a no-show lay-low
Before I go outta my mind.

But when she says baby,
Oh no matter what comes ain't goin' nowhere she runs her fingers through my hair and saves me.
Yeah that look in her eyes got me comin' alive and drivin' me a good kinda crazy
When she says baby.
Oh when she says baby.

Some nights I come home fightin' mad
Feel like runnin' my fist through the wall.
Is it even worth it what I'm fightin' for anymore feelin'
Torn all the hell with it all.

But when she's says baby,
Oh no matter what comes ain't goin' nowhere she runs her fingers through my hair and saves me.
Yeah that look in her eyes got me comin' alive and drivin' me a good kinda crazy
When she says baby

Everything gonna be alright.
Just lay down by my side.
Let me love you through this life.

Yeah she's the perfect shot of faith.
When every bit of mine is gone.
Somethin' I can believe in a best friend
A heaven sent love to lean on.

But when she says baby,
Oh no matter what comes ain't goin' nowhere she runs her fingers through my hair and saves me.
Yeah that look in her eyes got me comin' alive and drivin' me a good kinda crazy
When she says baby.
Oh when she says baby.
Yeah that look in her eyes got me comin' alive and drivin' me a good kinda crazy.

Feel That Again

A river in July, two kids on summer break,
Another record high, clothes scattered on the bank.
The rush of jumpin' in, I wanna feel that again.

Sun going down, build a fire in the dirt
You're dancing all around wearing my t-shirt,
The way you pull me in, I wanna feel that again

Guitar comin' through the speakers,
That song you never wanna end,
Gimme some of that you and me,
Some of that way back when,
A little bit of wild and free
I wanna feel that again

Nothin' but a blur, gravel road, a flatbed Ford
Always was the cure, ooh whenever we got bored,
Sideways round the bend, yeah I wanna feel that again.

Guitar comin' through the speakers,
That song you never wanna end,
Gimme some of that you and me,
Some of that way back when,
A little bit of wild and free
I wanna feel that again

Guitar comin' through the speakers,
That song you never wanna end,
Gimme some of that you and me,
Some of that way back when,
A little bit of wild and free
I wanna feel that again
Feel that again

Wheels Rollin'

Counting the lines on a highway road
Mile one by one
Flying through the midnight rain
Like a bullet from a gun

I lay down but I can't sleep
cause I still feel the band
Still on a high from the crowd in the lights
with a cold one in my hand

Singing
Here I go, down this road
Another town, another state
I wouldn't have it any other way
All I want, is to sing my songs
Hearing that crowd, keeps me going
Guitars rocking, wheels rolling

I step up, the lights go down
I hear that first chord ring
It's where I go to lose myself
Forget about everything

It's my home away from home
Hanging with my friends
It's a crazy life, but every night
I get to do it again and again and again

Here I go, down this road
Another town, another state
I wouldn't have it any other way
All I want, is to sing my songs
Hearing that crowd, keeps me going
Guitars rocking, wheels rolling

Here I go, down this road
Another town, another state
I wouldn't have it any other way
All I want, is to sing my songs
Hearing that crowd, keeps me going
Guitars rocking, wheels rolling

Here I go
On down this road
Don't you know
I wouldn't have it any other way

Talk

You've told me 'bout your family
The town that you grew up in
Believe me, I wanna know everything about you
And I've rambled on about me
By now you know I'm crazy
We could go on all night if we wanted to
But I don't want to

I don't wanna talk anymore
I know enough about you to know all I wanna do is
Find out a little bit more
I don't wanna waste that moon
And the heat on the hood of this Ford
I don't wanna talk anymore

That homemade wine on your lips
My name under your breath
Under one of the best river nights you ever saw
Hey, that says it all

I don't wanna talk anymore
I know enough about you to know all I wanna do is
Find out a little bit more
I don't wanna waste that moon
And the heat on the hood of this Ford
I don't wanna talk anymore

I don't wanna talk
I don't wanna talk anymore
I know enough about you to know all I wanna do is
Find out a little bit more
I don't wanna waste that moon
And the heat on the hood of this Ford
I don't wanna talk anymore
I don't wanna talk anymore

The Only Way I Know

Well, I grew up in one of them old farm towns
Where they hit it hard 'til the sun goes down
Nobody really seemed to care
That we were living in the middle of nowhere
We just figured that's how it was
And everybody else was just like us
Soaking in the rain baking in the sun
Don't quit 'til the job gets done

That's the only way I know
Don't stop 'til everything's gone
Straight ahead, never turn round
Don't back up, don't back down
Full throttle, wide open
You get tired and you don't show it
Dig a little deeper when you think you can't dig no more
That's the only way I know

That old red dirt - the first thing you learn
Is you don't get nothing that you don't earn
Humble pride that I grew up on
You find out just how bad you want it
Sun in our eyes backs to the fences
We didn't know the odds were against us
Hit the wall smoking and spinning
Still wasn't thinking 'bout nothing but winning

That's the only way I know
Don't stop 'til everything's gone
Straight ahead, never turn round
Don't back up, don't back down
Full throttle, wide open
You get tired and you don't show it
Dig a little deeper when you think you can't dig no more
That's the only way I know

Maybe there's another path that
Will get you there a little bit faster,
But I'm sticking with the one inside of me.

That's the only way I know
Don't stop 'til everything's gone
Straight ahead, never turn round
Don't back up, don't back down
Full throttle, wide open
You get tired and you don't show it
Dig a little deeper when you think you can't dig no more
That's the only way I...

That's the only way I know
Don't stop 'til everything's gone
Straight ahead, never turn round
Don't back up, don't back down
Full throttle, wide open
You get tired, you don't show it
Dig a little deeper when you think you can't dig no more
That's the only way I know

That's the only way I know

Take A Little Ride

Been goin' round and round all day
Bailin' some hay and stacking it all up
Can't wait for the sun to go down
Roll into town, shine the old truck up
Swing by the quick stop
Grab a little Shiner Bock
[Another version says "Grab a couple Rocky Tops" in reference to Coors beer.]
Then ease on out your way
To your place around 8 o'clock

Well I'm just ready to ride this Chevy,
Ride this Chevy down a little backroad
Slide your pretty little self on over
Get a little closer, turn up the radio
Put your pretty pink toes on the dash
Lean your seat back
Man I swear there ain't nothing looks better than that
Sweet tan, little thing with nothing to do
I wanna take a little ride with you

I hope you're wearing those frayed out cut-offs
Makes me want to get lost out in the moonlight
Drop the tailgate down on a turn road
Watch the corn grow, baby that's a good night
Anyone from the heartland is gonna understand
What I'm talking about right now
Ain't no doubt, we got a game plan

Well I'm just ready to ride this Chevy,
Ride this Chevy down a little backroad
Slide your pretty little self on over
Get a little closer, turn up the radio
Put your pretty pink toes on the dash
Lean your seat back
Man I swear there ain't nothing looks better than that
Sweet tan, little thing with nothing to do
I wanna take a little ride with you

Well I'm just ready to ride this Chevy,
Ride this Chevy down a little backroad
Slide your pretty little self on over
Get a little closer you can play my radio
Put your pretty pink toes on the dash
Lean your seat back
Man I swear there ain't nothing looks better than that
Sweet tan, little thing with nothing to do
I wanna take a little ride with you
Take a little ride with you
I wanna take a little ride with you

I Don't Do Lonely Well

Baby since you've been gone
I leave the TV on
Gotta hear somebody's voice
I just need some kind of noise
I lay some pillows down
To wrap my arms around
I pretend I'm holding you
I know it's sad but it's what I do
To keep me from goin' crazy

I can get up and face the day
Just fine all by myself
Go out and take on the world
And get it done like nobody else
Ohh but I don't do lonely well

I got some real good friends
Check on me now and then
Try to get me out at night
Say I need to get a life
It's easy to say alright
When you're not the one goin' crazy

I can get up and face the day
Just fine all by myself
Go out and take on the world
And get it done like nobody else
Ohh but I don't do lonely well

Here comes another sunset
Here comes another long night
I'm not over you yet
No I'm not over you yet

I can get up and face the day
Just fine all by myself
Go out and take on the world
Get it done like nobody else
Ohh but I don't do, don't do lonely well
No no no
Don't do lonely well

Night Train

I've been thinkin' bout you all day baby
waitin' on that sun to go down
whatcha say I pick you up after work
slide over, well slip out to the outskirts of town
got a blanket and a fifth of comfort
a little something to knock off the edge
it's supposed to get a little cool tonight
looks like I'm gonna have to hold you tight... yeah

[Chorus:]
Bout a mile off old mill road
in that spot nobody knows
park the truck and we take off running
hurry up, girl I hear it coming
got a moon and a billion stars
sound of steel and old box cars
the thought of you is driving me insane
come on baby lets go listen to the night train

yeah I hope its gonna be a long one
if were lucky its moving slow
wouldn't mind if it lasted all night
lying next to you on that hillside lets go

Bout a mile off old mill road
in that spot nobody knows
park the truck and we take off running
hurry up girl, I hear it coming
got a moon and a billion stars
sound of steel and old box cars
the thought of you is driving me insane
come on baby lets go listen to the night train

Let's go listen to the night train [x2]

[Chorus]

Let's go listen to the night train

1994

Now girl I know you used to the same old same
But we ain't floatin' that boat, no we ain't ridin' that train
Hop on my rocket ship and let's get outta here
Let me put a little shimmer in your atmosphere

Now let's get outta this town, outta this club
Girl whatever you're sippin' I'ma mix it up
Take a few tick-tocks off of your clock
Put a little Third Rock in your hip-hop
I got that

1994, Joe Diffie comin' out my radio
I'm just a country boy with a farmer's tan
So help me girl I'll be your Pick-Up Man
How 'bout a night to remember and a fifth of Goose
'Bout to bust out my honky-tonk attitude
A little feel good you ain't never felt before
I'm talkin' 1994

Hey Joe, Joe, Joe Diffie
Joe, Joe, Joe Diffie
Joe, Joe, Joe Diffie

Girl don't you worry, now your ship just came in
So go on tell your mama, tell all your friends
That your new favorite color is John Deere green
Hop in this truck aka Time Machine

1994, Joe Diffie comin' out my radio
I'm just a country boy with a farmer's tan
So help me girl I'll be your Pick-Up Man
How 'bout a night to remember and a fifth of Goose
'Bout to bust out my honky-tonk attitude
A little feel good you ain't never felt before
I'm talkin' 1994

Hey Joe, Joe, Joe Diffie
Joe, Joe, Joe Diffie
Joe, Joe, Joe Diffie

Baby if you're lookin' for a good time
Let me take you to the C-O-U-N-T-R-Y
Now baby let's go, holler if you're with me
Hey Joe, come on and teach us how to Diffie

1994, Joe Diffie comin' out my radio
I'm just a country boy with a farmer's tan
So help me girl I'll be your Pick-Up Man
How 'bout a night to remember and a fifth of Goose
'Bout to bust out my honky-tonk attitude
A little feel good you ain't never felt before
I'm talkin' 1994

Hey Joe, Joe, Joe Diffie
Joe, Joe, Joe Diffie
Joe, Joe, Joe Diffie
Will the real Joe Diffie please stand up

Staring At The Sun

She's like starin' at the sun
She could easily blind someone
Other women, I see none
She's like starin' at the sun

She gets on you
Under your skin like a tattoo
She'll always be there
She holds on, stuck in your head like an old song
She ain't goin' nowhere

She's like standin' in the rain
Washes all my cares away
At the end of a long, hot day
She's like standin' in the rain

She gets on you
Under your skin like a tattoo
She'll always be there
She holds on, stuck in your head like an old song
She ain't goin' nowhere

She gets on you
Under your skin like a tattoo
She'll always be there
She holds on, stuck in your head like an old song
She ain't goin' nowhere

She's like finally coming home
And seeing that light in the window on
After being gone too long
She's like finally coming home
Standin' in the rain
Starin' at the sun

Drink One For Me

You don't know how bad,
I wish I was home
Can't wait to get back,
But while I'm gone
Y'all carry on

Drink one for me, for all the old times
We tore up that town, raised hell alright
Tell the boys, thanks for having my back
Some of the best memories I've ever had
So go on and get crazy
And drink one for me

I can't count the miles,
It just feels so far
And it could be a while
'Til I'm where you are
So keep me in your heart

Drink one for me, for all the old times
We tore up that town, raised hell alright
Tell the boys, thanks for having my back
Some of the best memories I've ever had
So go on and get crazy
And drink one

For the ones you can't be with
The ones we'll always miss
And times like this
And times like this

Drink one for me, for all the old times
We tore up that town, raised hell alright
Tell the boys, thanks for having my back
Some of the best memories I've ever had
So go on and get crazy
And drink one for me
Drink one for me

Black Tears

She puts on her work clothes, fishnet pantyhose,
She's got a nickname everybody knows at the gentlemen's club
She clocks in at midnight, even though it never feels right,
Makes her money one dollar at a time.
Without the makeup, nobody knows her name,
And she wears the pain

Black tears, rolling down,
From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town
She reveals, and they all cheer,
Then she cries, black tears

Jealous of the innocent, sometimes she's convinced,
The boss man is still a friend she needs.
She's tried everything, cheap sex and cocaine,
Anything to hide the pain for a little while
The wrong kind of famous in her momma's eyes,
You can tell she knows it when she cries

Black tears, rolling down
From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town,
White lights on the mirror,
Just won't hide, black tears

She tries and tries so hard to get away
But everybody's watching

Black tears, rolling down,
From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town,
If all the pain would just disappear
She'd quit cryin', yeah she'd quit cryin',
Black tears

Walking Away

I make you laugh and tell you things
You start thinking this is more than what it really is
You're beginning to dream and maybe someday
You could be the angel that could make me change
But all I see is a storm that you'll get lost in
Cause if it feels this good when we're just talkin'

You should be walking away, walking away
As far as you can go, as fast as you can.
You don't know it but you oughta be walking away, walking away
From me baby
Instead of tryin' to save me
You oughta be walking away

You're standing there, in your party dress
And there ain't no doubt about it darlin' I'm impressed
But I see you and I know me.
I'd say right now that I'm the last thing that you need
But girl don't get me wrong, I'd sure love to do this
But somewhere in my heart I know the truth is

You ought to be walking away, walking away
As far as you can go, as fast as you can.
You don't know it but you oughta be walking away, walking away
From me baby
Instead of tryin' to save me
You oughta be walking away

You should be walking away, walking away
As far as you can go, as fast as you can.
You don't know it but you oughta be walking away, walking away
From me baby
Instead of tryin' to save me
You oughta be walking away

Water Tower

State champs white and blue
Yeah, I remember you
You sure had a hell of a view from way up there
High above the yellow pines
And first baptist "Jesus Saves" sign
I talked to you a million times
'Bout gettin' outta' here

Water tower, it sure is good to see you,
I've been away, for way too long
Water tower like a lighthouse in a storm,
You help me find my way back home

How far did you think I'd get
When I pointed my wheels out west?
A little young and dumb I guess
Gotta learn somehow
Slowin' down and drivin' in
I can finally breathe again
It's like I found a long lost friend
God I've missed this town

Water tower, it sure is good to see you,
I've been away, way too long
Water tower like a lighthouse in a storm,
You help me find my way back home

You and that lonesome full moon watching over me
I'm right where I'm supposed to be

Water tower, it sure is good to see you,
I've been away, way too long
Water tower like a lighthouse in a storm,
You help me find my way back home
You help me find my way
