Wild Ones
We've been waiting all week
Been waiting on the weekend
To crawl out of the shadows
With the ones your mama said run from
The ones your daddy kept you from
Now we're all on the loose
And we are here
Everybody raise your glass
(Hey, hey, hey)
Pick it up and throw it back
Grab ahold of your honey
And everybody get a little lovin'
A little touchin'
A little kissin' and a huggin'
Do a little lovin'
A little touchin'
A little kissin' and a huggin'

Everybody's bumpin' to the beat just right
Worry 'bout tomorrow when tomorrow comes
Tonight we're just worried about having fun
Cause we're the wild ones, yeah
You know that we're the wild ones
We're gonna always do it our way
And we don't care what nobody say
Cause we're the wildcats
We're the fighters
We're the midnight up all nighters
So everybody raise your glass

Pick it up and throw it back
Grab ahold of your honey
And everybody get a little lovin'
A little touchin'

Come And Get It
I got a fever, revving high
I need a lover, to get me right
Tonight
I got a picture, in my head
Of your lipstick, cherry red
Tonight, tonight
[Chorus:]
Girl what's the matter with you?
Can't you see in when it's standing right in front of you?
Come and get it baby
Girl what's the matter with you
Can't you see it when it's standing right in front of you?
Come and get it tonight
Got your blue jeans, revving high
Girl I'm beggin, for a try
Tonight, tonight
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge:]
My heart you ain't gotta steal it
It's all yours so just come and get it
My heart you ain't gotta seal it
It's all yours so just come and get it tonight
[Chorus x2]
[Bridge]
Girl Of Summer
Boardwalk's empty, gray stole the blue from the sky
And ain't nobody watchin' the sun burnin' into the night
But Vida's hangin' 'round makin' out in the photo booth
Guess this old beach town burned out for me and you
I can see the smoke rolling off your lips
Feel my fingers runnin' through the belt loops on your hips
I guess you had to go, had other things in mind
Never thought you'd leave me behind
[Chorus:]
I see I was just another
Sunset fadin' in your eyes
I may never love another
But I had my girl of the summer
I can see your feet on my dash
Dark hair in the breeze
Hunger in the golden brown eyes
[?] to me
Grindin' through the gravel past the trains to that old junkyard
The things we uncover on top of those abandoned cars
I can feel the steel stickin' to my back
Feel the wind howlin' through the trains on the tracks
Countin' every star, crossin' every line
Always thinkin' that you'll be mine
[Chorus:]
I see I was just another
Sunset fadin' in your eyes
I may never love another
But I had my girl of the summer
Magic
Well I never believed in fairytales
Even when I was a kid
It sounded like another trick
To get us all to bed
With just a story they read
Yeah, Houdini might escape
And then he'll vanish from the scene
Baby that was smoke and mirrors
And this is you and me
I don't know what to think
Now your hand does something to my skin
Make me want you more and believe again
[Chorus:]
Oh give me some of that magic, magic
Baby, oh, oh
You know I gotta have it, have it
It's the way you look when you want me close
When your hair falls down raining glitter and gold
Oh give me some of that magic, magic baby
It wants you to strike a flame
Ignite a full-on fire
Girl you got me burning
So take me a little higher
I wanna walk that wire
Stop the hands of time
Forever right here
Don't leave me blind baby
Cause my only fear
Is that you'll disappear
Now your lips do something to my kiss
Make me want you more and believe again
[Chorus:]
Oh give me some of that magic, magic
Baby, oh, oh
You know I gotta have it, have it
It's the way you look when you want me close
When your hair falls down raining glitter and gold
Oh give me some of that magic, magic baby, magic
Give me some, give me some, give me some magic baby
[Chorus:]
Oh give me some of that magic, magic
Baby, oh, oh
You know I gotta have it, have it
It's the way you look when you want me close
When your hair falls down raining glitter and gold
Oh give me some of that magic, magic baby
That Was Us
Me and Teddy used to burn that old Chevy
All the way out to Mary Lee's
One of the guy's the kind that ride or die
And we were thick as thieves
The whole damn town said, when we come around
We're as mean as a four letter word
Up to no good fun. No, we didn't have much,
Just a whole lotta time to burn
[Chorus:]
So, if we got high, we got stoned
If there was a fight, we got it on
If there was a backseat, we made love
That was then and that was us
We crossed the county line for a kegger one night
There were some girls we had never seen
Teddy had his eye locked on a dime
Mary said that she was lookin' at me
Standin' there sippin' on a smoke
And a cheap ass bottle of rum
She said "My name's Katie, you're my kinda crazy
And it takes one to know one"
So, if we got high, we got stoned
If there was a fight, we got it on
If there was a backseat, we made love
That was then and that was us
Mary Lee started hangin', started talking
With a boy with a checkered past
It wasn't long 'fore he showed his true colors
And they left her all blue and black
Cops stopped us runnin' 90
With a loaded pistol and a bottle of booze
And it's a good damn thing them blue lights got us
'Fore we did what we was gonna do
So, if we got high, we got stoned
If there was a fight, we got it on
If there was a backseat, we made love
That was then and that was us
If we got high, yeah, you know we're gonna roll it up
If we got high, yeah, you know we got stoned
If there was a fight then you know we're gonna back 'em up
If there was a fight, we got it on
In the back of the seat, you know we got tangled up
In the back of the seat, you know we made love
That was then and that's still us Well, come on

Itchin to get my fix and kiss your lipstick.
What Ya Got On Tonight
This pretty little red head
With the cowboy boots
Dancin' to the beat of an old guitar
Lookin' at me baby like she wants to
A southern belle in a red dress
She's got her hair pulled back
And I admit that she's lookin' pretty good
There's nothin' like you
When you wear it like that
[Chorus:]
I miss you baby
It's drivin' me crazy
Oh I think about it lately
Girl I gotta have it
You're makin' me imagine
What ya got on tonight
Show me what I'm missin'
Girl I need a picture
What ya got on tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Sexy little red dress, rock 'n roll tank top
Nothin' but a t-shirt cause it's bed time
Hot pink knee high argyle socks
And you're still wearin' that ball cap
Top Gun Ray Ban
Lookin' like you're gonna start on the 1980's
Tell me honey, how do I become your man
[Chorus:]
I miss you baby
It's drivin' me crazy
Oh I think about it lately
Girl I gotta have it
You're makin' me imagine
What ya got on tonight
Show me what I'm missin'
Girl I need a picture
What ya got on tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
[Chorus:]
I miss you baby
It's drivin' me crazy
Oh I think about it lately
Girl I gotta have it
You're makin' me imagine
What ya got on tonight
Show me what I'm missin'
Girl I need a picture
What ya got on tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
What ya got on tonight
What ya got on tonight
What ya got on tonight
Heart's Desire
Nights falling on me like a big black coat
Staring through the window at the empty cold
Thick white smoke rolling off my limps
A Chest feeling heavy like a cannon ball
Got sweat rolling down me like a waterfall
Cause I let love slip through my fingertips
Oooo...oooo, Hey...aaaaa. I'm a raging fire, your my hearts desire.... Hey!
Slipping in and out of a restless sleep
Thinking and wonderin' if you are thinking of me
Or are you long gone girl, with another man
The thought brings me right up to the brink of rage
Like a lion in rusted out circus cage
I want to break these bars, make you understand
Oooo.... oooo. Hey...aaaa, I'm a raging fire, your my hearts desire.... Hey!
When I finally settle in to a midnight dream
Your walking through a field of flowers smiling at me
So I reach right out and try to touch your skin
Then a morning breeze blows and I almost taste your sweet sent drippin' on my pillow case
Damn this day, here I go again
Oooo.... oooo, Hey...aaaa, I'm a raging fire, your my hearts desire.... Hey!
I dont think I can really take no more
Like a prize fighter laying on the canvas floor
I hear the clock bell ring struggle to my feet
I've been 52 rounds with your memory
I'd go 52 more if it make you see
Girl you mean the world to me
Oooo.... oooo, Hey...aaaa. I'm a raging fire, your my hearts desire.
Oooo.... oooo, Hey...aaaa. I'm a raging fire, your my hearts desire.
Complicated
Girl I know I drive you mad
And I know I make you cry
And I wish I knew the reason
But I don't know why
And you know all the things to do
To get under my skin when you want to girl
Here we are, yeah we made it this far
With both hands on the wheel
Of a getaway car
With the window down
Baby wave goodbye
To your mama standin' there in the drive
From the day we married
We were goin' too fast
We were born to run
We were built to last
[Chorus:]
All I know sometimes you love it
Sometimes you hate it
But what good's love if it ain't
A little complicated
No it don't always go just like you
Hoped it would
But sometimes complicated's pretty damn good
Girl you made your choice and you had your pick
Of a little bit smoother ride than this
Coulda played it safe
Coulda got out clean
But ya rolled the dice and you're stuck with me
With the window down
Baby wave goodbye
To your mama standin' there in the drie
From the day we married
We were goin' too fast
We were born to run
We were built to last
[Chorus:]
All I know sometimes you love it
Sometimes you hate it
But what good's love if it ain't
A little complicated
No it don't always go just like you
Hoped it would
But sometimes complicated's pretty damn good
Not much in the bank account
Just enough to get us by
So I'm scared as hell
The way you're smilin' at me
With those two pink lines
[Chorus:]
And oh I know sometimes you love it and you hate it
But what good's love if it ain't a little complicated
Now all I know sometimes you love it
Sometimes you hate it
But what good's love if it ain't a little complicated
No it don't always go just like you hoped it would
But sometimes complicated's pretty damn good
Pretty damn good
Damn
Sometimes complicated's pretty damn good
I'm To Blame
If it ain't broke, you can bet that I'm gonna break it
If there's a wrong road, I'm damn sure gonna take it
Where there's smoke, my pocket lighter sparked the fire
Where there's blue lights, just read me my rights
No, they don't make guys like me, you get exactly what you see
I come from a long line of bloodline that ain't gonna change
So, take your pistol pointing finger right off of the trigger
I know where to aim, hell, I'm to blame
Where there's a love, I tell ya, girl, I love to hate it
Where there's a do not touch, my finger print done stained it
Where there's a train wreck, sit on back and watch me crash
Where there's a what, you say, damn right I said it
No, they don't make guys like me, you get exactly what you see
I come from a long line of bloodline that ain't gonna change
So, take your pistol pointing finger right off of the trigger
I know where to aim, hell, I'm to blame
For breaking your heart, taking this living a little too hard
Drinking too much and playing too loud, where there's a scar I carved it out
No, they don't make guys like me, you get exactly what you see
I come from a long line of bloodline that ain't gonna change
So, take your pistol pointing finger right off of the trigger
I know where to aim, hell, I'm to blame
I know where to aim, hell, I'm to blame
That's Alright With Me
Everybody knows I like whiskey
Preferably from Tennessee
But if you hand me an ice cold beer
Or some red wine, or some moonshine
Or one of them fruity drinks
Hell, that's alright with me
God knows I love women
The devil knows they make me weak
And I might find the right one
And settle down in a little town
Or I might just stay wild and free
And that's alright with me
[Chorus:]
I like whiskey and tight denim
On good hearted women
And for that I make no apologies
Call me country, call me hippie
A wildcat from Dixie
And if you do or don't like what you see
That's alright with me
There's nothing quite like the ocean
With a little tent and a little beach
And I like sitting 'round the campfire with my guitar
And if somebody wants to pass around some drinks
Hell, that's alright with me
[Chorus:]
I like whiskey and tight denim
On good hearted women
And for that I make no apologies
Call me country, call me hippie
A wildcat from Dixie
And if you do or don't like what you see
That's alright with me
I just slip on my cheap sunglasses
And let the world do it's thing
And even if it's all just f-in' taxes
Well, that's alright with me
[Chorus:]
I like whiskey and tight denim
On good hearted women
And for that I make no apologies
Call me country, call me hippie
A wildcat from Dixie
And if you do or don't like what you see
That's alright with me
That's alright with me
Running For You
We had a good run
But I knew, I knew, I knew
I knew this day would come
As bad as I want to
Ain't no way, not me girl
I ain't gonna stop you
[Chorus:]
But if the rain stops falling, falling on you
And your heart stops breaking, breaking in two
If the light starts fading, baby don't move
Just say my name, stay right there
I'll come running for you
I'm gonna miss you
Baby there's no way that I can go with you
So go on and chase it
I know, I know, I know
You can almost taste it
Yeah, time's a wastin'
[Chorus:]
But if the rain stops falling, falling on you
And your heart stops breaking, breaking in two
If the light starts fading, baby don't move
Just say my name, stay right there
I'll come running for you
It's gonna be a long night
And I might shed a tear
But I'm a be alright
Comeback Kid
I'm a new used car with a couple dents
And I'll get where I'm going
Cause I know where I've been
When it all goes south, I'm gonna rise again
Just call me the comeback kid
I'm a hail Mary pass on homecoming night
Six points down with the clock ticking by
Come hell or high water I still believe I can win
Just call me the comeback kid
[Chorus:]
Oh, oh, oh
Girl I'm glad that you never did
Oh, oh, oh
Lose faith in this comeback kid
Baby, all life's bullets I've took to the chest
Should've buried me alive, should've left me dead
But when I reach for that white flag
You won't let me quit
And you call me the comeback kid
[Chorus:]
Oh, oh, oh
Girl I'm glad that you never did
Oh, oh, oh
Lose faith in this comeback kid
Someday I'm gonna get you that white picket fence
And that little pink house just like Mellencamp said
Cause I want to taste the good life
Before the Lord puts us to bed
[Chorus:]
Girl keep holding on, keep hangin' in
Oh, oh, oh
Don't ever do what you never did
Oh, oh, oh
Don't give up on this comeback kid
Oh, oh, oh
Girl, I'm glad that you never did
Oh, oh, oh
Lose faith in this comeback kid
Just keep holding on
Just keep holding on
Just keep holding on
What I Do
(Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)
I like to smoke cheap cigarettes
God knows I'll take what I can get
Mary Jane's a friend of mine, from time to time
I'm a stubborn mule from what I hear
When it comes to what kinda beer I wanna drink
So don't think you'll change my mind
I'm a midnight lover on the loose
I'm a wild card baby through and through
Give me a guitar and I'll pick some songs for you
That's what I want and that's who I am
That's what I do
I've been known to offend, feel kinda bad but do it again
Ain't the first, sure ain't the last time I do
I'm on my way
[?] politically incorrect
I apologize ahead of time if it pertains to you
I'm a midnight lover on the loose
Cause I'm a wild card baby through and through
Give me a guitar and I'll pick some songs for you
Cause that's what I want and that's who I am
That's what I do
Cause that's what I want and that's who I am
And that's what I do
How am I to swear when I ain't supposed to swear
That's how it goes
Settle down and loosed up
We'll get along
I'm a midnight lover on the loose
I'm a wild card baby through and through
Give me a guitar and I'll pick some songs for you
Cause that's what I want and that's who I am
That's what I do
Cause that's what I want and that's who I am
And that's what I do
That's what I want and that's who I am
And that's what I do
Backseat
(Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)
We was just kids, but she looked like a woman
Everything she was, was everything I wanted
We were both willing, but still a little guarded
She smiled that smile, that's where it all started
[Chorus:]
The two of us in the backseat
Lights off on a backstreet
I showed her and then she showed me
Right there, right there in the backseat
Yeah in the backseat
Flashed the headlights, she slipped out the back door
Didn't have to say nothing, we knew what we were in for
With every first kiss, I could feel her heart race
I'd fumble with the buttons while she was touching my face
What to do next, she knew that I didn't know
She'd smile and say, "Boy, make it up as you go"
[Chorus:]
The two of us in the backseat
Lights off on a backstreet
I showed her and then she showed me
Right there, right there in the backseat
Yeah in the backseat
Sometimes I think about her, yeah sometimes
I guess you never forget your first time
[Chorus:]
The two of us in the backseat
Lights off on a backstreet
I showed her and then she showed me
Right there, right there in the backseat
Yeah in the backseat
Burn The Whole World Down
(Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)
I'm goin' back through that open door
And I
[?] no more
If I'm gone, if I'm gone too long
Don't write me no sad song
Just send me
[?]
From the bottom of my heart
You say it's hard to say I love you
But it's hard to say I don't
And that ain't enough to keep me hangin' 'round
If your daddy tries to stop me
I'm gonna make damn sure he don't
I'm gonna get out of this town
And burn the whole world down
Don't shed a tear, don't shed a tear for me
I'll be in good company
Just my guitar and a lonesome road
Where I ain't scared to go and spend the night
You'll miss my kiss, girl
Just remember this
You say it's hard to say I love you
But it's hard to say I don't
And that ain't enough to keep me hangin' 'round
If your daddy tries to stop me
I'm gonna make damn sure he don't
I'm gonna get out of this town
And burn the whole world down
I'm gonna find the place
Where I'll make my mark
It's so far to the dark
You say it's hard to say I love you
But it's hard to say I don't
And that ain't enough to keep me hangin' 'round
If your daddy tries to stop me
I'm gonna make damn sure he don't
I'm gonna get out of this town
You say it's hard to say I love you
But it's hard to say I don't
And that ain't enough to keep me hangin' 'round
If your daddy tries to stop me
I'm gonna make damn sure he don't
I'm gonna get out of this town
And burn the whole world down
