Jason Aldean - 9 Album Lyrics

I got this one here on a midnight dare at a border town
Every time he stuck that needle in my skin, she had to look away
Had him put it right here on my chest over my heart
That Rose of Jericho looks so good painted underneath her name
It hurt like hell
Yeah, but it was worth the pain

When I'm missin' her, I take another shot
I know it ain't the cure, but right now it's all I've got
She took most of me, and now all that I have left
Are tattoos to remember, tequila to forget

Just another neon roller coaster Friday night
Bartender wipin' down that bar while he keeps an eyes on me
And I sure hope he ain't about top cut me off
'Cause I'm only one or two away from getting my head where it needs to be

When I'm missin' her, I take another shot
I know it ain't the cure, but right now it's all I've got
She took most of me, and now all that I have left
Are tattoos to remember, tequila to forget

Yeah, it hurt like hell
Mm, but it was worth the pain

When I'm missin' her, I take another shot
I know it ain't the cure

When I'm missin' her, I take another shot
I know it ain't the cure, but right now it's all I've got
She took most of me, and now all that I have left
Are tattoos to remember and tequila to forget
Ooh yeah

Goin' down like a sunset
Burnin' out like a cigarette
Blowin' through the cash, through the past
Drinkin' down that memory 'til there's nothin' left
I could go on and on
Why you're gone

I could blame it on the whiskey
I wouldn't blame you if you didn't even miss me
Gave you a million reasons, girl, not to be with me (with me)
Should've never let you go
Should've never watched you go
I could blame it on a good high
Let it take the blame for why you told me, "Goodbye"
Instead of missin' you and missin' all those good times (good times)
Should've never let you go
Should've never watched you go

I could say I never knew
And I could drink around the truth
But I can't blame it on you, yeah, yeah
(Do you still think about me too?)
(Baby, do you still think about me too?)

Trying to ride out the midnight
Trying to fight through the daylight
Wondering where you're at and just like that I'm looking back
On what I had when you were mine
I could go on and on (long, long time, yeah)
Why you're gone

I could blame it on the whiskey
I wouldn't blame you if you didn't even miss me
Gave you a million reasons, girl, not to be with me (with me)
Should've never let you go
Should've never watched you go
I could blame it on a good high
Let it take the blame for why you told me, "Goodbye"
Instead of missin' you and missin' all those good times (good times)
Should've never let you go
Should've never watched you go

I could say I never knew
Yeah, I can drink around the truth
But I can't blame it on you, yeah, yeah
(Do you still think about me too?)
(Baby, do you still think about me too?)

I could go on and on (long, long time, yeah)
Why you're gone

I could blame it on the whiskey
I wouldn't blame you if you didn't even miss me
Gave you a million reasons, girl, not to be with me (with me)
Should've never let you go
Should've never watched you go
I could blame it on a good high
Let it take the blame for why you told me, "Goodbye"
Instead of missin' you and missin' all those good times (good times)
Should've never let you go
Should've never watched you go

I could say I never knew
Yeah, I can drink around the truth (long, long time, yeah)
I could say I never knew
Yeah, I can drink around the truth
But I can't blame it on you, yeah, yeah
(Do you still think about me too?)
(Baby, do you still think about me too?)

Red eye got delayed, blame it on the rain
Guess I gotta stay another night
In this town full of lights
Guys like me don't like
Yeah, I flagged a yellow car, found a smokey bar
Threw this old heart on a stool
Let me and this ninety proof
Do what we gotta do

So I'm here drinkin' whiskey
In a Champagne town
Are you tryin' not to miss me
Like I'm tryin' not to miss you now?
Blamin' you by two and me by three
It's plain to see, all I'll ever be to you
Is what I am right now
Nothin' but whiskey in a Champagne town

I was just a stop along the way
Just a phase you were goin' through
In the back of your mind you knew
What this was comin' to, yeah, so did I
But it still burns tonight

Just like this whiskey
In a Champagne town
Are you tryin' not to miss me
Like I'm tryin' not to miss you now?
Blamin' you by two and me by three
It's plain to see, all I'll ever be to you
Is what I am right now
Nothin' but whiskey in a Champagne town

I'm sittin' here drinkin' whiskey
In a Champagne town
Are you tryin' not to miss me
Like I'm tryin' not to miss you now
Blamin' you by two and me by three
It's plain to see, all I'll ever be to you
Is what I am right now
Nothin' but whiskey in a Champagne town

Ain't nothin' but whiskey, whiskey
In a Champagne town
Ain't nothin' but whiskey, whiskey
In a Champagne town

She ain't nothing like the bourbon in my blood
Gets me high for a little while and then it's over
She ain't one of those move-on Mondays
Back to normal, nothing weighin' on you

Wish I could leave it all behind me
Without ever looking back
Well, she's a buzz that still runs through my head
And goodbye don't come easy
With a girl like that
I swear, sometimes, I wish we'd never met
Yeah, 'cause some things you don't forget

That boardwalk neon blue shining on her lips
I still can taste that sweet Malibu on her
That wild in her eyes, laid me down by the water
That summer-night high tide washing up on us

Wish I could leave it all behind me
Without ever looking back
Well, she's a buzz that still runs through my head
And goodbye don't come easy
With a girl like that
I swear, sometimes, I wish we'd never met
Yeah, 'cause some things you don't forget

She's a buzz that still runs through my head
No, I can't forget
No, I can't forget
I still can taste that sweet

Wish I could leave it all behind me
Without ever looking back
Oh, she's a buzz that still runs through my head
And goodbye don't come easy
With a girl like that
Oh, I swear, sometimes, I wish we'd never met
Yeah, 'cause some things you don't forget

Nobody ever thought I'd make it in this town
They all said I should leave my truck, pack, and turn right back around
They said I didn't have what it takes
I needed money and a pretty face
But I just look at them and say...

I use what I got
Take what I get
Until I ain't got nothin' left
Then I give it some more
Keep on climbing up that mountain
Keep truckin' along, work up a sweat
Past every "no" after "no" after "no" till I get a "yes"
I don't worry about what I've done
I use what I got, yeah

I still got big dreams and a strong heart
I got a lot of real good friends who helped me get this far
I still got a lot of miles to go
It's a winding, uphill road
But I'll get there the only way I know...

I use what I got
Take what I get
Until I ain't got nothin' left
Then I give it some more
Keep on climbing up that mountain
Keep truckin' along, work up a sweat
Past every "no" after "no" after "no" till I get a "yes"
I don't worry about what I've done
I use what I got, yeah

Keep on rollin' along, doin' my best
Past every "no" after "no" after "no" till I get a "yes"
I don't worry about what I'm not
No, no, I don't worry about what I'm not
I use what I got, yeah

Yeah, we proud of that name painted up on that water tower
And that red dirt on the bottom of our boots
This place runs 35 miles an hour
And that hard work runs in our roots
Yeah, we're all just backbone blue-collar people
Burning that Texaco black smoke diesel

Yeah, we're keeping it small town, keeping it slow
Keep that dust stirred up on them old dirt roads
Yeah, we keeping them girls up in them shotgun seats
Got that good stuff waiting on the end of the week
It's the way we were raised and we ain't changing now
You can find us sun up to sundown, yeah
Just keeping it small town
We're keeping it small town

Yeah we just trying to be 'bout half good as our daddies
Still trying to make a name of our own
Find a little girl you can roll with and ride with
And make a good life with and love her 'til you're gone

We're keeping it small town, keeping it slow
Keep that dust stirred up on them old dirt roads
Yeah, we keeping them girls up in them shotgun seats
Got that good stuff waiting on the end of the week
It's the way we were raised and we ain't changing now
You can find us sun up to sundown, yeah
Just keeping it small town
We're keeping it small town

Yeah, we're all just backbone blue-collar people
Burning that Texaco black smoke diesel

Yeah, we're keeping it small town, keeping it slow
Keep that dust stirred up on them old dirt roads
Yeah, we keeping them girls up in them shotgun seats
Got that good stuff waiting on the end of the week
It's the way we were raised and we ain't changing now
You can find us sun up to sundown, yeah
Just keeping it small town
We're just keeping it small town

You can find 'em 'bout sundown Friday
Comin' outta them fields for the highway
First stop, Texaco, fill a cooler full of cold beer
Paycheck sitting on the console
Gotta get it in the bank 'fore the doors close
Call your boys, get your girl, time to throw it in another gear

Here they come, rolling down Main Street
A country song spinning on a CD
Small town looking for a good time
Raise a little hell and a drink at the county line
Muddy boots, muddy tires
Wrap your baby in your jacket by the fire
Yeah, the girls 'round here, they got it bad
For good old boys in a camouflage hat

Country girls know how to love
And how to pretty up a pickup truck
Falling for a rolled-up flannel under tailgate stars
And country boys, they hold 'em tight
Best believe they gonna treat 'em right
'Cause they'll be dealing with her daddy if they break their hearts

Yeah, here they come, rolling down Main Street
A country song spinning on a CD
Small town looking for a good time
Raise a little hell and a drink at the county line
Muddy boots, muddy tires
Wrap your baby in your jacket by the fire
Yeah, the girls 'round here, they got it bad
For good old boys in a camouflage

Lay it on the seat or up on the dashboard
Let her put it on and you'll never get it back, boy
Yeah, camouflage hat

Yeah, here they come, rolling down Main Street
A country song spinning on a CD
Small town looking for a good time
Raise a little hell and a drink at the county line
Muddy boots, muddy tires
Wrap your baby in your jacket by the fire
Yeah, the girls 'round here, they got it bad
For good old boys in a camouflage hat
Yeah, camouflage hat
Yeah, camouflage hat
Yeah

I didn't show up to cover up anything
Didn't walk through that door to forget about what's-her-name
No, I didn't have a bad day
It ain't what you think

I just came here to drink 'cause it's five o'clock
Pour me the good stuff right from the top
Here to let out the laughs and breathe in a smoke
Get high on the night and the midnight glow
Sit on this barstool, live on neon time
Yeah, tonight I just came here to drink

I just wanna sit here and listen to the jukebox
Hear that song that puts me in a good spot
No, it ain't like this every night
Oh, but this time

I just came here to drink 'cause it's five o'clock
Pour me the good stuff right from the top
Here to let out the laughs and breathe in a smoke
Get high on the night and the midnight glow
Sit on this barstool, live on neon time
Yeah, tonight I just came here to drink

I just came here to drink 'cause it's five o'clock
Pour me the good stuff right from the top
Here to let out the laughs and breathe in a smoke
Get high on the night and the midnight glow
Sit on this barstool, live on neon time
Yeah, tonight I just came here to drink
Yeah, I just came here to drink
I just came here to drink

Where's the guy in the steel toes covered in dirt
Just a rock n' roll t-shirt headed to work
With a pack of Red-Man in his pocket?
He's kind of red, man, but he's rockin'
Where's the beat up Tele' and a Marshall stack
Little Marshall Tucker and a six-pack?
Where's the good ol' boys and the good ol' days?
Straight up gettin' sideways

We back, we back, we back in the speakers
Back In Black gettin' blasted in the bleachers
It's probably true what my mama said
I do it just like my daddy did
We back, we back, we back in the saddle
Back on stage makin' the whole place rattle
Back with the A-Team, train on the track
Thought we were gone, but you're wrong, now it's on
We back

Where's the chick wearin' blue jeans a little too tight?
Got a grip on a koozie if it's what she likes
Getting picked up in a pickup
And kickin' it with guys like us

We back, we back, we back in the speakers
Back In Black gettin' blasted in the bleachers
It's probably true what my mama said
I do it just like my daddy did
We back, we back, we back in the saddle
Back on stage makin' the whole place rattle
Back with the A-Team, train on the track
Thought we were gone, but you're wrong, now it's on
We back

Sun comes up and sun goes down, yeah
Everything good comes back around
We back
We back

We back, we back, we back in the speakers
Back In Black gettin' blasted in the bleachers
It's probably true what my mama said (mama said)
I do it just like my daddy did
We back, we back, we back in the saddle
Back on stage makin' the whole place rattle
Back with the A-Team, train on the track
Thought we were gone, but you're wrong, now it's on
We back (we back, we back)
Thought we were gone but you're wrong, now it's on
We back (we back, we back)
(It's probably true what my mama said)

We back, we back, we back in the saddle
Back on stage makin' the whole place rattle
Back with the A-Team, train on the track
Thought we were gone, but you're wrong, now it's on
We back

Yeah, we drank on it
Cranked some Hank on it
Got a little crazy, raised a little hell on it
Yeah, learned to pray, learned to cuss
Throw a party, throw a punch
Ain't no hiding where we're from

It's on our boots, it's on our trucks
It was in that cloud of dust we stirred up
It was out in the fields, on them old backroads
It covers this town like it covers my soul
Yeah, it's in our bones, in our blood
Yeah, as deep as these roots run
We'll never be too far gone
From the dirt we were raised on
Dirt we were raised on

Bailed some hay on it
Asked God to rain on it
We met 'em at the gate when they tried to put an interstate on it
Yeah, we got lost, we got found
And we got high and we got down
And every time we rolled into town

It's on our boots, it's on our trucks
It was in that cloud of dust we stirred up
It was out in the fields, on them old backroads
It covers this town like it covers my soul
Yeah, it's in our bones, in our blood
Yeah, as deep as these roots run
We'll never be too far gone
From the dirt we were raised on
Dirt we were raised on

Yeah, we drank on it
Cranked some Hank on it
Got a little crazy, raised hell on it

It's on our boots, it's on our trucks
It was in that cloud of dust we stirred up
It was out in the fields, on them old backroads
It covers this town like it covers my soul
Yeah, it's in our bones, in our blood
Yeah, as deep as these roots run
We'll never be too far gone
From the dirt we were raised on
Dirt we were raised on

Yeah, it's the red stuff flying in the back of a truck bed
Goin' out as far as you can get
Windows down, turned up to a country song
That's the dirt we were raised on
Sunsets and a bullet hole stop sign
Getting down on the back of a forty five
Yeah, that's how we do it all night long
That's the dirt we were raised on
That's the dirt we were raised on
That's the dirt we were raised on
That's the dirt we were raised on

She don't like this bar
She don't like my friends
She thinks we party too hard
She said, "It's me or them"
She said I need to change my ways
"Boy, you got a choice to make"

So I don't drink any more
Ever since she left
I don't drink any more and I don't drink any less

She picked a bad time
To try and slow me down
And this ain't a good night
To try and turn me around
I still like to get crazy, nothing new
Still like to have a few

So I don't drink any more
Ever since she left
I don't drink any more and I don't drink any less

I didn't want her to go and it's not that I don't give a damn
I just want someone to want me for who I am
And this is who I am

She said I need to change my ways
"Boy, you got a choice to make"

So I don't drink any more
Yeah, tonight you can bet
I don't drink any more and I don't drink any less
No, I don't drink any more and I don't drink any less

She got a way of lighting up the neon, turning heads
She got a thing that turns me on, burning red
Something 'bout them blues eyes staring right back at mine
I swear I see the line

She's a cowboy killer in a shotgun seat
Talkin' blonde wildfire holding onto me
She got a knock-out love and a goodbye kiss
Got that thirty-thirty smoke rolling off of her lips
Lose my breath, knock me dead every time I'm with her
Yeah, she's a cowboy killer

She'd make a night wild and restless
Run it off the tracks
She's riding the line of crazy and reckless
And damn I love that

She's a cowboy killer in a shotgun seat
Talkin' blonde wildfire holding onto me
She got a knock-out love and a goodbye kiss
Got that thirty-thirty smoke rolling off of her lips
Lose my breath, knock me dead every time I'm with her
Yeah, she's a cowboy killer

Something 'bout them blues eyes staring right back at mine
I swear I see the line

She's a cowboy killer in a shotgun seat
Talkin' blonde wildfire holding onto me
She got a knock-out love and a goodbye kiss
Got that thirty-thirty smoke rolling off of her lips
Lose my breath, knock me dead every time I'm with her
Yeah, she's a cowboy killer
Yeah, a cowboy killer
She's a cowboy killer

I had one for the good, one for the bye
One for kicking myself all night
One for her and all four wheels
And one for the way her leaving feels
Now here it is, time to close
Now how 'bout one more before I go?

Give me one for the road she's on tonight
Her Firestones turning, Firebird burning right out of my life
'Fore the lights come on and I pay my tab
Then climb inside that yellow cab
To take me home
Give me one for the road she's on

65 south, State Route 7
Broadway, Main Street, County Road 11
Wherever she is four-lane forgetting 'bout me

Give me one for the road she's on tonight
Her Firestones turning, Firebird burning right out of my life
'Fore the lights come on and I pay my tab
Then climb inside that yellow cab
To take me home
Give me one for the road she's on

Yeah, I ain't drunk but I ain't sober
I know I'm still gonna wake up hungover on her
So what's one more gonna hurt?

Give me one for the road she's on tonight
Her Firestones turning, Firebird burning right out of my life
'Fore the lights come on and I pay my tab
Then climb inside that yellow cab
To take me home
Give me one for the road she's on
Give me one for the road she's on
Tonight

I spent a lot of time underneath the lights down in San Antone
Yeah, I make good memories just about everywhere I go
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Sometimes you gotta put it all behind ya
But there's one thing that I just can't get off my mind

When I talk about Georgia
It's the color in your eyes of the summertime shinin' on you
I remember every mile, yeah, you drove me wild
Baby, and the way it felt like nothing else
It's true, girl, I think about you
When I talk about Georgia
Yeah, yeah

Yeah, my buddies still talk about that Daytona trip
Many years fly by, damn, it's hard to remember it
Fast-lane through Oklahoma
Tequila nights in California
But there's just one goodbye that gets me every time

When I talk about Georgia
It's the color in your eyes of the summertime shinin' on you
I remember every mile, yeah, you drove me wild
Baby, and the way it felt like nothing else
It's true, girl, I think about you
When I talk about Georgia
Yeah, yeah

Yeah, you're right here, you come back
Baby, just like that
When I talk about Georgia
It's the color in your eyes of the summertime shinin' on you
I remember every mile, yeah, you drove me wild
Baby, and the way it felt like nothing else
It's true, girl, I think about you
When I talk about Georgia
Yeah, when I talk about Georgia
Yeah, yeah

It doesn't matter if you grew up above the Mason-Dixon or down in Dixie
If you come from the east side or the west side of the Mississippi
Little farm towns to them high-rise cities
Raise 'em up if you're with me

If you got the same song coming out of your speakers
Got the same strong mix down in your cup
If you got smoke blowing in the air, howling at the moon
If you do, then that's what's up
If you got your pretty green-eyed diamond ride-or-dier
Beside you pulling that all-nighter
Yeah, we might be from a different place
But we go down the same way
The same way, the same way

This one's for them good ol' boys and girls, y'all, let's get another round
Say it loud, let 'em know all over the world now, country done come from
Little farm towns to them high-rise cities
Raise 'em up if you're with me (yeah)

If you got the same song coming out of your speakers
Got the same strong mix down in your cup
If you got smoke blowing in the air, howling at the moon
If you do, then that's what's up
If you got your pretty green-eyed diamond ride-or-dier
Beside you pulling that all-nighter
Yeah, we might be from a different place
But we go down the same way
The same way, the same way
Yeah, we go down the same way

We believe it in our hearts when we say we're country
We ain't scared to back it up
Yeah, I think it'd be safe to say that we all think
That nobody does it like us

If you got the same song coming out of your speakers
Got the same strong mix down in your cup
If you got smoke blowing in the air, howling at the moon
If you do, then that's what's up
If you got your pretty green-eyed diamond ride-or-dier
Beside you pulling that all-nighter
Yeah, we might be from a different place
But we go down the same way
The same way, the same way
Yeah, we go down the same way
The same way, the same way
Yeah, we go down the same way
Yeah, we go down the same way

She don't like it, catching cabs downtown
The noisy crowd, the people when the bar shuts down
And she don't like it when it rains, don't like the color gray
But if I know anything

I know she likes it ridin' all night long
Shotgun, next to me
A little whiskey when the week's all gone
Gets her wild and running free
With the windows down, in a nowhere town
Getting lost somewhere to a song
I know she likes it ridin' all night long
Yeah

She don't like it when it's eyes on her
Walking in the party, no that ain't her
And she don't like it when I cuss, don't like it when I smoke
She don't like it when she's all alone

But I know she likes it ridin' all night long
Shotgun, next to me
A little whiskey when the week's all gone
Gets her wild and running free
With the windows down, in a nowhere town
Getting lost somewhere to a song
I know she likes it ridin' all night long
Yeah

She likes to lean on in, likes to kick on back
She likes it when we go fast

And I know she likes it ridin' all night long (all night long)
Shotgun, next to me
A little whiskey when the week's all gone
Gets her wild and running free
With the windows down, in a nowhere town
Getting lost somewhere to a song
I know she likes it ridin' all night long
Yeah
I know she likes it ridin' all night long
Yeah
