Keith Urban - High Album Lyrics

(Oh, uh)
(No, no, no, oh)
(Uh, just gimme some blue sky, please)

Why we livin' every day in circles
Just burnin' out, burnin' out
I don't wanna just go through the motions
Goin' round and round
It's takin' us down

I ain't buyin' this life's gotta be such a mother
'Cause we kinda got it all when we got each other
You and me used to be like a year-round summer
Let's go back
Oh, hit the gas

In a straight line, baby
Hey, whatcha say we're never gonna look back now?
Can't you see the sun shinin'?
You and me drivin' out from under this dark cloud
I wanna know what they mean
When they say life's a dream
Shouldn't we be dreamin' it too?
In a straight line, baby
Startin' now, takin' a straight line
Straight into forever with you
Yeah, with you

Finally leaving Hotel California
Couple runaways in a getaway car
Remember when this kinda high was us, babe?
I wanna feel that way
I wanna feel that way now

Let's trade the past in the fading rearview
(Let's trade the past in the fading rearview)
For the good life comin' in the windshield clearview
Anywhere, girl, you wanna disappear to
(Anywhere, girl, you wanna disappear to)
I wanna go there too
I wanna go there with you, yeah

In a straight line, baby
Hey, whatcha say we're never gonna look back now?
Can't you see the sun shinin'?
You and me drivin' out from under this dark cloud
I wanna know what they mean
When they say life's a dream
Shouldn't we be dreamin' it too?
In a straight line, baby
Startin' now, takin' a straight line
Straight into forever with you

I ain't buyin' this life's gotta be such a mother
'Cause we kinda got it all when we got each other
You and me used to be like a year-round summer
Let's go back (Go back, go back, go back)
Let's go back, hit the gas (Go back)

In a straight line, baby
Hey, whatcha say we're never gonna look back now?
Can't you see the sun shinin'?
You and me drivin' out from under this dark cloud

In a straight line
(Straight line, straight line)
(Straight into forever)
Oh, baby
(Straight into forever)
You've been a straight line, baby
(Straight line, straight line)
(Straight into forever, straight into forever)

I ain't buyin' this life's gotta be such a mother
(Straight line, straight line)
'Cause we kinda got it all when we got each other
(Straight into forever, straight into forever)
You and me used to be like a year-round summer
(Straight line, straight line)
Let's go back
(Straight into forever, straight into forever)

When I get blue, I get dark blue
When I have one, I always have a few
When I get gone, I get real gone
When I get it wrong, I get it real wrong

I'm out tonight
And I'm feelin' like I should call you up
Maybe take a shot that you're wide awake at a quarter to three
Maybe lookin' through your camera roll
The tequila's startin' to take a toll
I was hopin', baby, maybe you'd be

As messed up as me and all alone
And all of your friends have all gone home
And you hate that the truth is nobody leaves
Your head and your heart
And your bed and your sheets
As messed up as me
As messed up as me

When you get mad, you stay that way
And you always say you're doin' okay
But we both know, it's probably a lie
And you're fallin' to pieces on the inside

And you're out tonight like you always are
You're dressed to kill and your lips are red
And misery still loves company

Are you as messed up as me and all alone?
And all of your friends have all gone home
And you hate that the truth is nobody leaves your head and your heart
And your bed and your sheets as messed up as

Me and you (me and you)
When we used to (we used to)
Paint this town, burn it down and go 'round for round for 'round
Hey, what are you doin' right now?

I'm out tonight
And I'm feelin' like I should call you up
Maybe take a shot that you're wide awake at a quarter to three

As messed up as me and all alone
And all of your friends have all gone home
And you hate that the truth is nobody leaves your head and your heart
And your bed and your sheets as messed up as me
As messed up as me
Oh, what are you doin' right now?

Uh, you can tell she was raised
Up right down in the south
Brought up to be a lady
Always made real good grades
Kept both feet on the ground
Never reckless, never crazy

Pretty much picture-perfect to a T
Little Miss Angel five days of the week
(Aw, yeah, yeah, yeah)
But sugar like that's a dangerous kind of sweet
Lookin' at her, you never would believe that

She knows how to shut the sun down
Light up all of downtown
Danger on the dance floor
Good Lord
Takes a man to handle
Gotta hold tight
'Bout to be a mile high, she's bringin' out her
Alabamalicious, supernova 'til the night is over
Wildside
Wildside

Oh yeah, hey

Wildside, oh my
Burnin' me up like a wildfire
3AM and she ain't tired, she's straight fire
When she ditches that laid-back
Spends a little time off the train tracks
It's insane that she's so refined and a little shy
But come Friday night (Friday night)

She gon' shut the sun down
Light up all of downtown
Dangerous on the dance floor
Good Lord
Takes a man to handle
Gotta hold tight
'Bout to be a mile high, she's bringin' out her
Alabamalicious, supernova 'til the night is over
Wildside

Oh yeah
Here she comes

She's pretty much picture-perfect to a T
Oh, little Miss Angel most days of the week
Aw, yeah, yeah, yeah
But sugar like that's a dangerous kinda sweet
Better stand back, 'cause y'all about to see that

She knows how to shut the sun down
Light up all of downtown
Devil on the dance floor
Good Lord
Takes a man to handle
You gotta hold tight
'Bout to be a wild ride, aw, here comes that
Alabamalicious, supernova, party's never over
Wildside (wildside)

Oh, wildside
Oh, the party's never over
(Wildside) woo, hey
Bringin' out her wildside
Hey, hey

Well, it was Saturday night last time I checked
Overdraft on the card but I ain't gon' stress
Not at all, I'll call the bank tomorrow
I got some Titanic friends, yeah, we all get wrecked
Order anything we want from the bottom shelf
Living large in a small-town bar

The clock goes 'round, it's 1 already
But don't turn it down, just let it play
Another round to hold us steady
We do one last cheers and down our beers
And they tell us that we can't stay here

Oh, I know that it's closing time and
I won't lie, yes, I had more than a few (few)
And you know I shouldn't be driving
I think I should probably go home with you

Yeah, I'm a little home, I should just go drunk
But hanging out with you is just too much fun
So sweet, you're always there for me
You'll be fine on the couch or the kitchen floor
Next time, my place but tonight at yours
We're a team, and you're the MVP

The clock goes 'round, it's 2 already
Ain't slowin' down, no, not today
Another round to hold us steady
We do one last cheers and down our beers
And they tell us that we can't stay here (you can't stay here)

Oh, I know that it's closing time and
I won't lie, yes, I had more than a few (few)
And you know I shouldn't be driving
I think I should probably go home with you (here we go)

Take me home, home, home
Take me home (party)
Home, home, home
Take me home
Take me home (one, two, three)

Oh, I know that it's closing time and (it's closing time)
I won't lie, yes, I had more than a few (more than a few)
And you know I shouldn't be driving (I shouldn't be driving)
I think I should probably go home with you
(Going home with you, baby)

(A-one, two, three, ah)

We were holdin' hands, barefoot in the grass
With the red sunset still warm on our backs
The sky looked like an ocean and the water looked like glass
And forever meant tomorrow, we both wondered if we would last

But you were leavin' town, I didn't wanna face it
Love just doesn't grow in two different places
Us burnin' out, I couldn't take it
So we tied a double knot in those faded white laces

My size twelve and your size seven
We threw 'em straight, straight up to heaven
High
In the small-town sky
It was up in the air, "Are they gonna make it?"
Never come down, never gonna come untied
Yeah, you and I, we're still hangin'
In there just like Chuck Taylors on a power line

In between the silence, you and me talked all night
I made you laugh, then accidentally made you cry
When I said, "I wouldn't blame you, if the sunrise meant 'goodbye'"
You said, "How dare you, baby, who are we not to try?"

Then sittin' right there on the hood of your satin
Bright as the red on your flower dress pattern
A light went off, and that's when it happened
You were gonna be mine, and nothing else mattered

My size twelve and your size seven
We threw 'em straight, straight up to heaven
High
In the small-town sky
It was up in the air, "Are they gonna make it?"
Never come down, never gonna come untied
Yeah, you and I, we're still hangin'
In there just like Chuck Taylors on a power line

Oh
(Are they gonna make it?)
Yes, we're gonna make it
(Are they gonna make it?)
Mm, yes, we're gonna make it

My size twelve and your size seven
We threw 'em straight, straight up to heaven, high
In that small-town sky
It was up in the air, "Are they gonna make it?"
Never come down, never gonna come untied
No, we're never gonna come untied

We're gonna make it, yes, we're gonna make it now
Gonna make it, yes, we're gonna make it now
Gonna make it, yes, we're gonna make it now
Gonna make it now (Chuck Taylors on a power line
We're gonna make it out

We're gonna make it, yes, we're gonna make it now
Yes, we are
Gonna make it, yes, we're gonna make it now (oh)
Gonna make it, yes, we're gonna make it now (just look at us, look at us, baby)
Gonna make it now, gonna make it now (look at us, baby)

We're still hangin'
In there just like Chuck Taylors on a power line

I can feel the heatwave comin' on, and that's strange
I haven't seen the sun for days, the sun for days
I can't hit the town, call my friends
One drink would start a flood again
And I know where that goes
Down, down like dominoes

Can't drink no Jack and Coke 'cause once it hits my lips
I wanna play that song, spark up a cigarette
When the smoke in the air rolls like a wave
It reminds me of that ocean view
And I swear that I won't, but when it gets cold
I think of Daytona, and I think about you, you, you, you
And I think about you, you, you, you

Mm
Middle of the boardwalk, laid down, didn't talk
I can still taste the salt, taste the salt
Tryna find new highs, but I can't fight that neon Florida sky
And everything I do (everything I do) leads me back to you (oh)

Can't drink no Jack and Coke 'cause once it hits my lips
I wanna play that song, spark up a cigarette
When the smoke in the air rolls like a wave
It reminds me of that ocean view
And I swear that I won't, but when it gets cold
I think of Daytona, and I think about you, you, you, you
Yeah, I think about you, you, you, you

Oh
Oh

I can't drink no Jack and Coke 'cause once it hits my lips
I wanna play that song, spark up a cigarette
When the smoke in the air rolls like a wave
It reminds me of that ocean view
And I swear that I won't, but when it gets cold
I think of Daytona, and I think about you, you, you, you
And I think about you, you, you, you
Oh, I think about you, you, you, you
I think about you, you, you, you

Sleepin' in the same room
But I don't even hear from you
Would you ever even notice
If I didn't come home this weekend?

We've been dancin' circles
And we don't even dance
Would you ever even say it?
We don't even fake it

Love is hard
Some things can and can't be forgiven
Love is hard
It's so hard
But I ain't quittin'

You can make a fool of me and leave me standin' on the street
With all the messes that I've made
You can yell you wish me well, or you can tell me, "Go to hell"
It doesn't matter what you say
I ain't quittin'
Oh

It hurts when we fight, babe
It's worse when we say nothin'
Callin' names and slammin' doors
And keepin' secrets, keepin' scores

Love is hard
Some things can and can't be forgiven
Love is hard
It's so hard
But I ain't quittin'

You can make a fool of me and leave me standin' on the street
With all the messes that I've made
You can yell you wish me well, or you can tell me, "Go to hell"
It doesn't matter what you say
I ain't quittin'
No, I ain't quittin'
Oh

I could never hate you
I don't wanna make you stay
But I can't let you walk away

Some things can and can't be forgiven
Love is hard
It's so hard
But I ain't quittin'

My heart's like a hometown with a welcome sign
A lotta folks pass through and don't think twice
My heart's like a hometown, a few bumps in the road
And there's a couple spots where nobody goes
One half is growin' up
One half is runnin' down

If you ever find yourself lonely in a city crowd
Wonderin' if it's too late to turn around
Baby, you already know, you ain't even gotta ask
Jump in your car, put the pedal down
No matter how
Gone that you get, long that it's been
I know that you left
But I'll still let you right back in

'Cause my heart's like a hometown, you've always got a place
To put down some roots or spend a holiday
Where all your memories hang like jerseys in a high school gym
Where you left behind your used-to-bes and coulda-beens
In the rearview mirror
No, I ain't goin' nowhere

If you ever find yourself lonely in a city crowd
Wonderin' if it's too late to turn around
Baby, you already know, you ain't even gotta ask
Jump in your car, put the pedal down
No matter how
Gone that you get, long that it's been
I know that you left
But I'll still let you right back in

Gone that you get, long that it's been
I know that you left
But I'll still let you right back in
Let you right back in, mmm
'Cause my heart's like a hometown
A wide-open door
And just because you left
It don't mean that it ain't yours

(Come on)
(Come on, you piece of-)

(Hey)
(Hey, it's 6AM)
(What the hell?)

I get up early 'fore the sun come up
Wake up the neighbors when I fire up my truck
But time is money, so I gotta be on time, on time
There's too much traffic on the interstate
So I hit the exit, now I'm rippin' down the backstreets
Seat back like McConaughey, alright
(Alright, alright)

I work hard but play harder
Mm, ain't that the American dream?
Yeah, it's the end of the week now
First round's gonna be on me

I'm on a Friday high 'cause I just got paid
I got the life, man, I got it made
Feel like the king of the world here, dancin' in the neon lights
More rodeo than Rodeo, I'm a workin' man
I own a truck and a piece of land
Ain't got that Bezos money, honey
But I ain't as broke as you think
I'm laughin' all the way to the drank (woo)
Laughin' all the way to the drank, yeah

Bartender, hey
Bartender, won't you tell me a joke?
I wanna laugh, wanna light up a smoke
Don't wanna hear no more 'bout everything
Goin' wrong, so wrong

When this life gives you lemons
And your blue sky turns to rain
Just smile, and put some
Whiskey in your lemonade

I'm on a Friday high 'cause I just got paid
I got the life, man, I got it made
Feel like the king of the world here, dancin' in the neon lights
More rodeo than Rodeo, I'm a workin' man
I own my truck and a piece of land
Ain't got that Bezos money, honey
But I ain't as broke as you think
I'm laughin' all the way to the

Miller Lite, any time, Michelob, I don't mind
Just put a drink in my hand
When I'm here with my friends, we're goin' 'til the a.m.
I feel like the luckiest man, yes, I do

Now we're out on the floor and the DJ's takin' it back, takin' it back (takin' it back)
I was hopin' for some '90s country
But I think he's startin' to scratch? What the-?

(Hey)
(No, DJ, come on, man)
(Not here)
(We need some banjo, you got some banjo?)
(Yeah)
(That's more like it)
(Woo, sounds good)
(How 'bout some?)
(Yeah)
(Woo-hoo)
(Oh yeah)
(Everybody)
(Woo)

Sounds so good
Oh yeah
I'm feelin' good, I'm feelin' good, I'm feelin' good
I'm feelin' good, I'm feelin' good

I'm on a Friday high 'cause I just got paid (ooh, just got paid)
I got the life, man, I got it made
Feel like the king of the world in the "King of Beers" neon lights
More rodeo than Rodeo, yeah, that's who I am
If you don't like it, I don't give a damn
Don't need that Bezos money, honey
I ain't as broke as you think
I'm laughin' all the way to the drank

She stole my drink, she held her own
Gave me that familiar, let-ya-guard-down feelin' you get from back home
She took me to heaven, I took her to church
I woulda said it, but she said it first
But I guess talkin' 'bout diamond rings
Makes cowgirls do cowboy things

She got the hell outta Dodge in a Silverado
With half of my heart like a desperado
Where she's headed off to, hell, if I know
But I know she ain't comin' back
She saw everything that she needed seein'
Felt everything that she needed feelin'
Loved me like she knew there wasn't no tomorrow
She got the hell outta Dodge in a Silverado

She packed that backseat with dresses and secrets
Up to the back glass
If she even looked back, I couldn't see it
She wasn't just leavin', no

'Cause she got the hell outta Dodge in a Silverado
With half of my heart like a desperado
Where she's headed off to, hell, if I know
But I know she ain't comin' back
She saw everything that she needed seein'
Felt everything that she needed feelin'
Loved me like she knew there wasn't no tomorrow
She got the hell outta Dodge in a Silverado, oh

Oh yeah
Mm

She's gone on the highway
I'm gone in this driveway
Me and her memory's about to get sideways
Like she did when she hit the gas
With whatever reasons she had

She got the hell outta Dodge in a Silverado
With half of my heart like a desperado
Where she's headed off to, hell, if I know
But I know she ain't comin' back
She saw everything that she needed seein'
Felt everything that she needed feelin'
Loved me like she knew there wasn't no tomorrow
She got the hell outta Dodge in a Silverado
Silverado, Silverado

(Woo)
(Ayy)
Silverado, oh
She got the hell outta Dodge in a Silverado, oh

Too late
Is it too late?
For me to listen?
For me to change?
So far, I'm doin' alright
I got a feelin'
Maybe it's my time to shine
To come alive, to make it right
Right with my past
The ones I hurt and left behind
It's not too late for me to change, no, no

Out here
I've been out here
On my own now
For way too long
Fightin' my own battles
With my demons
With the way that I was raised
Never safe
And never sure
What made him so mad at the world
Mad at me
I was just a kid
I won't do the same

And it's not too late
(It's not too late)
It's never too late
(It's never too late)
To break the chain

So, I've taken the best
And discarded the rest
And I'm startin' again
I'm lettin' who I was go
Got my feet on the road
And I'm leanin' in
Into the light

It's not too late
(It's not too late)
It's never too late
(It's never too late)
To break the chain
