NATE SMITH Album Lyrics by Nate Smith

If I Could Stop Loving You

I could stop myself
From staring down at this phone at the bar by my drink
Wondering if you'll call
'Cause you're drunk like me
And out on this town, yeah

I could stop my friends
Cut 'em off right before your name comes up
Tell 'em all that I'm cool, moved on
And it ain't worth talking 'bout

If I could stop loving you, loving you
Believe me, baby, I'm trying to, trying to
I know that I could be over you, over you
If I could just stop loving you, loving you

I could start to think
There's someone out there to trust, to kiss, to touch
I could keep the radio on
Even when it plays your song
And pass by your house and not slow down

If I could stop loving you, loving you
Believe me, baby, I'm trying to, trying to
I know that I could be over you, over you
If I could just stop loving you, loving you, yeah, oh

If I could stop loving you

And I could stop thinking 'bout, thinking 'bout
If you ever think 'bout, think 'bout
Me and wanna come back around, back around
If I could just stop

If I could just stop loving you, loving you
Believe me, baby, I'm trying to, trying to
I know that I could be over you, over you
If I could just stop loving you, loving you, yeah

If I could stop loving you, loving you, oh, oh

I could stop myself
From staring down at this phone at the bar by my drink
Wondering if you'll call
'Cause you're drunk like me
And out on this town

Alright, Alright, Alright

You're wearing the day like a hundred-pound jacket
The weight of the world like it's sewn in the fabric
You smile and you say life's got you dazed and confused
And it's got your heart breaking, well, I wanna make it

Alright, alright, alright
Baby, I can go all night
Ain't got no plans, but I got hands
That like to take their time

We can sip some whiskey neat
You could lay it all on me
I'm talking body, talking problems, talking everything
Gonna be alright, alright, alright (alright, alright, alright)

Whatever you need, baby, I got you
It ain't 'cause I have to
Nah, it's 'cause I want to
Let me bring you back

If that's alright, alright, alright
Baby, I can go all night
Ain't got no plans, but I got hands
That like to take their time

We can sip some whiskey neat
You could lay it all on me
I'm talking body, talking problems, talking everything
Gonna be alright, alright, alright (alright, alright, alright)
Yeah, alright, alright, alright, yeah

Go a little slow, burn away the bad
Let me hold you close, kiss away the sad
That love that we'll be making
Girl, it's gonna make it

Alright, alright, alright
Baby, I can go all night
Ain't got no plans, but I got hands
That like to take their time

Yeah, we can sip some whiskey neat
You could lay it all on me
I'm talking body, talking problems, talking everything
Gonna be alright, alright, alright (yes, it is)
(Alright, alright, alright)
Gonna be alright, alright, alright, yeah (alright, alright, alright)

(Alright, alright, alright)
Yeah

One Good Girl

(One, two, three)

It's up in the morning, coffee, highway, punch it in, and then
I put in time, then clock it out until the weekend
Stopping off at the Mapco, grab a little bit of ice cold
Take it back down a back road, home sweet home

Here's to long, long days and longer nights
In a real small town, with a simple life
Just make hay when the sun shines
It's okay as long as you've got
One good girl, two good dogs
Three cold beers, and your Sundays off

A country sing-along underneath the front porch light
Dance a pretty thing across the kitchen once or twice
Raise a little bit of hell, yeah
Raise 'em up in the air

Here's to long, long days and longer nights
In a real small town, with a simple life
Just make hay when the sun shines
It's okay as long as you've got
One good girl, two good dogs
Three cold beers, and your Sundays off

(Alright)

Stopping off at the Mapco
Grab a little bit of ice cold
Take it back down a back road
Home sweet home

Here's to long, long days and longer nights
In a real small town, with a simple life
Just make hay when the sun shines
It's okay as long as you've got
One good girl, two good dogs
Three cold beers, and your Sundays off

Long, long days and longer nights
In a real small town, with a simple life
Just make hay when the sun shines
It's okay as long as you've got
One good girl, two good dogs
Three cold beers, and your Sundays off

One good girl, two good dogs
Three cold beers, and your Sundays off

Back At It Again

There's a dive right down the street
It's your favorite place to drink until last call
There's a jukebox in the corner
Turns a dollar and a quarter into our song

I know better than to ever show up on a Friday night
In this smoky bar, underneath these neon lights

But I'm back at it again
Two drinks pullin' you in
Gettin' caught up in your eyes
One more, one last time
It's crazy how one kiss from your lips can hit undo
On all that gettin' over you
Just when I think I'm movin' on from square one
I'm back at it again
Yeah, I'm back at it again

Probably shouldn't close that tab
Probably shouldn't take that cab back to your place
But it's too late to turn around even though I swore
I wouldn't end the night crashin' right through your door

But I'm back at it again
Two drinks pullin' you in
Gettin' caught up in your eyes
One more, one last time
It's crazy how one kiss from your lips can hit undo
On all that gettin' over you
Just when I think I'm movin' on from square one
I'm back at it again
Baby, I'm back at it again

To that place where I can't help it
I forget why we ever said goodbye

'Cause I'm back at it again
Two drinks pullin' you in
Gettin' caught up in your eyes
One more, one last time
It's crazy how one kiss from your lips can hit undo
On all that gettin' over you
Just when I think I'm movin' on from square one
I'm back at it again
Baby, I'm back at it again

It's crazy how one kiss from your lips can hit undo
On all this gettin' over you
Just when I think I'm movin' on from square one
I'm back at it again
Oh

You Ain't Been In Love

I've been through it all, yeah, so I thought
The highs and the lows, love takes you home
I've seen all the shows, heard all the songs
'Bout what it's like when it comes along

But I had never seen it, no
Guess I stopped believing

Until I found a love like that
The kind where you don't look back
'Cause you're too busy thanking God for what you have
Adding more bricks 'til you're built to last

Smile bright as the California sun
Get you high, only thing you want
Is to hold her in your arms 'til the stars go black
You ain't been in love, 'til you've been in love like that

Yeah, the green in her eyes, the gold on her skin
Tito's and lime, taste on her lips
Was the closest to heaven I'd ever been
All of my doubts, they were gone right then

When I found a love like that
The kind where you don't look back
'Cause you're too busy thanking God for what you have
Adding more bricks 'til you're built to last

Smile bright as the California sun
Get you high, only thing you want
Is to hold her in your arms 'til the stars go black
You ain't been in love, 'til you been in love like that
'Til you've been in love like that, yeah

I'd been praying, wishing
Turns out God was listening

'Cause I found a love like that
The kind where you don't look back
'Cause you're too busy thanking God for what you have
Adding more bricks 'til you're built to last

Smile bright as the California sun
Get you high, only thing you want
Is to hold her in your arms 'til the stars go black
You ain't been in love, 'til you been in love like that
'Til you been in love like that, yeah

Better Boy

Shine your truck up every Friday night
Shake her dad's hand, look him in the eye
Pick wildflowers just to make her day
When she asks you to go to church any given Sunday

You better, boy
Treat her like you're still tryna get her, boy
Love her with all four letters, boy
Kiss her in the rain
Make her wanna take your last name
Talk about forever, boy
When it's hell, go through it together, boy
Be the answer to her mama's prayers
Never let her think somewhere out there
There's a better boy, yeah

Hold her high heels when her dancing feet hurt
When she sleeps over, let her sleep in your shirt
When the stars align and the time is right, size up her grandma's ring
Work overtime, drop every dime on a house with a front porch swing

You better, boy
Treat her like you're still tryna get her, boy
Love her with all four letters, boy
Kiss her in the rain
Make her wanna take your last name
Talk about forever, boy
When it's hell, go through it together, boy
Be the answer to her mama's prayers
Never let her think somewhere out there
There's a better boy, yeah
Oh, there's a better boy

She ain't the one that you wanna let go
Yeah, take it from a heart she broke

You better, boy
Treat her like you're still tryna get her, boy
Love her with all four letters, boy
Kiss her in the rain
Make her wanna take your last name
Talk about forever, boy
When it's hell, go through it together, boy
Be the answer to her mama's prayers
Never let her think somewhere out there
There's a better boy, yeah
Oh, there's a better boy, yeah

You Only Want Me When You're Drunk

(You only want me when you're)

You only want me when you think I've moved on
Yeah, that's the only time that you wanna call
When it's 2 AM and you want me to come over again

Girl, I can see right through you
You want me to get used to
Being someone you'll never love

You only want me when you're drunk
Nah, you don't kiss to fall in love
Yeah, when you put your body on me
Tell myself that you're just lonely
You only want me when you're
You only want me when you're drunk

You only want me when you're
You only want me when you're
You only want me when you're

You only want me when I'm out on the town
And I'm whiskey kissing somebody else
When you're buzzed at the bar
And you're back in the backseat of my car

Thinkin' 'bout the way I used to
Put my hands all over you
Right now I know that's what you want

You only want me when you're drunk
Nah, you don't kiss to fall in love
Yeah, when you put your body on me
Tell myself that you're just lonely
You only want me when you're
You only want me when you're drunk

You only want me when you're
You only want me when you're
You only want me when you're (yeah-yeah)
You only want me when you're drunk, yeah

You only want me when you're drunk
Nah, you don't kiss to fall in love
Yeah, when you put your body on me
Tell myself that you're just lonely
You only want me when you're
You only want me when you're drunk

You only want me when you're
You only want me when you're
You only want me when you're

You only want me when you're drunk
Nah, you don't kiss to fall in love
Yeah, when you put your body on me
Tell myself that you're just lonely
You only want me when you're
You only want me when you're drunk

Bad Memory

Like I'm a town you never go back to
Like I'm a Maker's Mark mistake
Like I never even had you
And I heard you talk about me that way
You act like we're strangers every time I see ya
Yeah, I swear your heart's got amnesia

If you can't remember that song that we danced along to
Under that streetlight on repeat
Forgot the way that it felt the night that you said we were meant to be
Did you erase from your mind, your lips on mine in that summer heat
If you think we had it so bad, then baby, you have a bad memory, yeah
A bad memory

Go on and try to ignore me
But that won't get you very far
You've got your side of the story
But you left out the best parts

If you can't remember that song that we danced along to
Under that streetlight on repeat
Forgot the way that it felt the night that you said we were meant to be
Did you erase from your mind, your lips on mine in that summer heat
If you think we had it so bad, then baby, you have a bad memory

In the rain we were soaking wet
Running to the car, we were loving it
Oh, I can still see your silhouette
Stealing a hit from a cigarette, yeah
Is that a bad memory

You act like we're strangers every time I see ya
Yeah, I swear your heart's got amnesia

If you can't remember that song that we danced along to
Under that streetlight on repeat
Forgot the way that it felt the night that you said we were meant to be
Did you erase from your mind, your lips on mine in that summer heat
If you think we had it so bad, then baby, you have a bad memory

In the rain we were soaking wet
Running to the car, we were loving it
Oh, I can still see your silhouette
Stealing a hit from a cigarette, yeah
Is that a bad memory
A bad memory

Oil Spot

Midnight Chevy on a road to a levy
On a road to a levy we'd fly
Empty Coke bottles on the floorboard
Rattling the door on the passenger side
Blonde haired beauty with a teenage dream
Gonna leave these crickets behind
Chirping in the dark
Gonna be a big star in the California sunshine

Funny how the years keep rolling and some things never change
Except the miles on my dash and the price of gasoline
Yeah, but this old Silverado still runs like a top
And I can't shake her memory like a driveway oil spot
On my mind
On my mind

How a pretty poem found a rough knuckle guy
Found a rough knuckle guy like me
It's probably more to do with the fish in this pond
Than the fish in the deep blue sea
Out there in the great wide open of the ocean
Is where she was always gonna swim
And I was always gonna stick around this town
Scraping my knuckles

Ain't it funny how the years keep rolling and some things never change
Except the miles on my dash and the price of gasoline
Yeah, but this old Silverado still runs like a top
I can't shake her memory like a driveway oil spot
On my mind (ooh, ooh-ooh)
Ooh, on my mind (ooh, ooh-ooh)

Ain't it funny how the years keep rolling and some things never change
Except the miles on my dash and the price of gasoline
Yeah, but this old Silverado still runs like a top
And I can't shake her memory like a driveway oil spot
On my mind (ooh, ooh-ooh)
Ooh, on my mind, yeah (ooh, ooh-ooh)
On my mind (ooh, ooh-ooh)
Oh, on my mind (ooh, ooh-ooh)

Wreckage

I don't mean to be guarded, I don't mean to be rude
I don't mean to just shut you out, it's just what I've been used to
My heart got calloused, I don't wanna make that excuse
It's hard but you're worth it, I just wanna be good for you

I'm a little damaged, but damn you saw the good
When everyone saw baggage, you loved when no one could
Laying in this bed beside you, I don't have to hide away
You see all the wreckage, and it wrecks me that you stay

When I get lost in my own head, you always tell me the truth
And girl you find me right where I am, you're the one thing I can't lose
Baby you're my hero, I ain't scared to say that out loud
You're teaching me to trust again, erasing all my doubts, yeah

I'm a little damaged, but damn you saw the good
When everyone saw baggage, you loved when no one could
Laying in this bed beside you, I don't have to hide away
You see all the wreckage, and it wrecks me that you stay

You put all the shattered pieces back together, made them better
You saw what I could be through all the pain

I'm a little damaged, but damn you saw the good
When everyone saw baggage, you loved when no one could
Laying in this bed beside you, I don't have to hide away
You see all the wreckage, yeah
You see all the wreckage, and it wrecks me that you stay
And it wrecks me that you stay

LFG

Worked all week, now I'm weekend rich
Spent that green on some beers in the fridge
Just cracked a can, didn't have no plans
'Til the boys starting texting me
LFG

Threw on my boots and cruised to the bar
Took a little 80 proof shot in the dark
With a ten in the corner and wouldn't you know it
That pickup line worked perfectly
LFG

I'm on a roll like I'm holding on to aces
I'm down to go wherever this night takes us
Ain't gotta stop rocking when the doors lock up at three
If you wanna throw down, LFG

If you need a change of scene, well I know a spot
Little backwoods 40 out off the blacktop
If you're sober you're driving, I ain't so I'm riding
Put the GPS on BFE
LFG

I'm on a roll like I'm holding on to aces
I'm down to go wherever this night takes us
Ain't gotta stop rocking when the doors lock up at three
If you wanna throw down, LFG

Lfg (LFG)
Lfg (LFG)
Lfg (LFG)

I'm on a roll like I'm holding on to aces
I'm down to go wherever this night takes us
Ain't gotta stop rocking when the doors lock up at three
If you wanna throw down, LFG

Yeah, yeah

Whiskey On You

Now I've wasted a paycheck on whiskey and longnecks
Ever since you left, trying to figure this out
This Jack I've been drinking's been wasted on thinking
Now I got a new reason for throwing 'em down
Line 'em up (line 'em up), pour 'em tall (pour 'em tall)
Here's to us, happily never after all

Ain't gonna waste one more night missin', wanting you back
No, I ain't gonna cry another tear in this glass
You didn't waste any time finding somebody new
So, I ain't gonna waste another drop of whiskey on you
No, I ain't

To hell with the lonely and the why don't you want me?
Yeah, bartender pour me a farewell round
Line 'em up (line 'em up), make 'em strong (make 'em strong)

You didn't waste any time finding somebody new
So, I ain't gonna waste another drop of whiskey on you

You Shouldn't Have To

I know you can buy your own drinks, you can open your own door
You can dance all by yourself out on that hardwood floor
I know that you can drive, but you make that shotgun seat look good
Just because you can girl, doesn't mean you should

You shouldn't have to
Yeah, that's how my daddy raised me
Treat a woman like a lady
Yeah, that's just what I'll do
I'll buy you flowers
I'll take you somewhere every summer
You'll never have to wonder
If I'll always love you
'Cause you shouldn't have to

There's a standard of perfection that the world's got you believing
That you need to put on more make-up, oh but baby you don't need it
I'm starting to see as I get a little older
That you think you gotta carry the weight of the world on your shoulders

You shouldn't have to
Yeah, that's how my daddy raised me
Treat a woman like a lady
Yeah, that's just what I'll do
I'll buy you flowers
I'll take you somewhere every summer
You'll never have to wonder
If I'll always love you
'Cause you shouldn't have to
You shouldn't have to, yeah-yeah

You shouldn't have to
Yeah, that's how my daddy raised me
Treat a woman like a lady
Yeah, that's just what I'll do
I'll buy you flowers
I'll take you somewhere every summer
You'll never have to wonder
If I'll always love you
'Cause you shouldn't have to, yeah-yeah
You shouldn't have to, oh, oh

Sleeve

There was a girl from Tennessee
Brought the fires of Hell on me
She brought a long line of hurt and a world of trouble
Every door became one more wall
Goddamn, you know I gave it my all
Oh, I tried and I tried, but couldn't stop lovin' her

Some people take it for a ride
Let it rust outside like a broke-down Chevrolet
Some people keep it inside
Goin' out of their mind like they're high on cocaine
Oh, I wish it wouldn't just go
Throwin' it around like it's fool's gold
Oh, there ain't no slowin' me down
I wear mine on my sleeve
Sleeve

She drove me out of state and out of mind
And I searched for her on those West Coast nights
In every little smile and stranger passin' through
I still see her now and then in my dreams
It's like she's still callin' out to me
But I know that she's far gone, oh, oh

Some people take it for a ride
Let it rust outside like a broke-down Chevrolet
Some people keep it inside
Goin' out of their mind like they're high on cocaine
Oh, I wish it wouldn't just go
Throwin' it around like it's fool's gold
Oh, there ain't no slowin' me down
I wear mine on my sleeve
Sleeve

I was as blue as those cop car lights
Innocent in that cell that night
She broke me down to pieces
She broke me down to pieces
I'm still pickin' up the pieces
But at least it's still beatin'

Some people take it for a ride
Let it rust outside like a broke-down Chevrolet
Some people keep it inside
Goin' out of their mind like they're high on cocaine
Oh, I wish it wouldn't just go
Throwin' it around like it's fool's gold
Oh, there ain't no slowin' me down
I wear mine on my sleeve
Sleeve

I Found You

What if I didn't sit down that night at the bar?
What if I wasn't half buzzed enough to take a shot in the dark?
And say hello, what's your name
What if we didn't stay out so late?
What if I let you be the one that got away?

'Cause I was a train wreck in a dive bar, going nowhere in this town
I wasn't ready, wasn't looking for a reason to stick around
I thought this wild heart of mine was meant to run 'til the end of time
Out on the loose, that was almost true
Then I found you

What if I didn't let the walls come down that night?
What if I just went home instead of laying it all on the line?
I took a chance, on the spot, asked you to dance in the parking lot
Oh, don't wanna think about, think about where I'd be now

'Cause I was a train wreck in a dive bar, going nowhere in this town
I wasn't ready, wasn't looking for a reason to stick around
I thought this wild heart of mine was meant to run 'til the end of time
Out on the loose, that was almost true
Then I found you, baby, oh oh

I wanna feel this feeling forever, oh
Whoever I am, you're making me better

I was a train wreck in a dive bar, going nowhere in this town
I wasn't ready, wasn't looking for a reason to stick around
I thought this wild heart of mine was meant to run 'til the end of time
Out on the loose, that was almost true
Then I found you
I found you

Backseat

Eight years old in an Oldsmobile
Mama's feet on the dash, Daddy's hands on the wheel
Every ten minutes saying how long 'til we're there
Watching the pines turn into palm trees
With the windows down so I could breathe
A little bit of that sweet saltwater in the air

And those wheels keep spinning and they take me with them
Just a road trip down to a beach town, but to me
I saw the whole world in the backseat

Seventeen in a hand me down
I pick her up just to roll around
And we'd drive out to where the lights don't hide the stars
We were right where we wanted to be
Didn't have to say a word to say everything
We were trying so hard not to take it too far
But then we'd take it too far

And those wheels keep spinning and they take me with them
Just a kiss in the middle of nowhere, but to me
I saw the whole world in the backseat
I saw the whole world in the backseat, yeah

Here I am, grown up now, hospital bracelets, elevator down
Grab the keys, pull the car around
Buckle in the baby, safe and sound

Oh-oh
And those wheels keep spinning and they take me with them

And those wheels keep spinning and they take me with them
Just a look into the rearview, but to me
I saw the whole world in the backseat
I saw the whole world in the backseat, yeah
Oh
Yeah, I saw the whole world in the backseat

Name Storms After

Ain't a cloud up in the sky
Ain't no warning or a sign
But all of a sudden, I'm
Lost in the blue eyes of a hurricane
The way you're rolling in right now, oh-oh
I should be standing on some higher ground

Ooh, you're a lightning strike
To hell with whoever said it never hits twice
Ooh, you're a hundred year flood
Sweeping me away in a tidal wave rush
They never saw you coming, beautiful disaster
You're the kind of woman that they name storms after

Now I'm caught up in your wreckage
Your perfume, your kiss, your dresses
I'm at the mercy of your touch, and I can't run for cover
I feel your love like thunder in my chest

Ooh, you're a lightning strike
To hell with whoever said it never hits twice
Ooh, you're a hundred year flood
Sweeping me away in a tidal wave rush
They never saw you coming, beautiful disaster
You're the kind of woman that they name storms after

Oh-oh, yeah
Oh-oh, oh, yeah

Ooh, you're a lightning strike
To hell with whoever said it never hits twice
Ooh, you're a hundred year flood
Sweeping me away in a tidal wave rush

Ooh, you're a lightning strike
To hell with whoever said it never hits twice
Ooh, you're a hundred year flood
Sweeping me away in a tidal wave rush
They never saw you coming, beautiful disaster
You're the kind of woman that they name storms after

Raised Up

It's stuck on me like mud
On the bottom of these boots
What I used to run from
Is what I run back to
When the voices in my head
Stop sounding like my own
I drown 'em all out
And put on what I know

Turn up that Rolling Stones and mama's prayers
More like home and more like where
Jesus saves and roads ain't paved
Got it all when you ain't got much
That penny saved's a penny earned
Love's a choice even when it hurts
Any time I lose my way
I turn the way that I was raised up

Ain't it funny just how quick
You can lose your Northern Star
Get caught up in the noise
And forget just who you are
When the truth sounds like a question
Rolling off some lips like smoke
I play mine like the FM
Through the speakers of my soul

Turn up that Rolling Stones and mama's prayers
More like home and more like where
Jesus saves and roads ain't paved
Got it all when you ain't got much
That penny saved's a penny earned
Love's a choice even when it hurts
Any time I lose my way
I turn the way that I was raised up
Turn the way, turn the way, turn the way
I was raised up

It's stuck on me like mud
On the bottom of these boots
It's always in my blood
Forever in my roots

I turn up that Rolling Stones and mama's prayers
More like home and more like where
Jesus saves and roads ain't paved
Got it all when you ain't got much
That penny saved's a penny earned
Love's a choice even when it hurts
Any time I lose my way
I turn the way that I was raised up
I turn it up
The way I was raised up

It's stuck on me like mud
On the bottom of these boots
What I used to run from
Is what I run back to

Under My Skin

I fell under the spell of your hazel eyes
Now I can't sleep though I have tried
You branded my soul
With a touch that's here to stay

Now I'm makin' blue sky memories
You're the one who finally got to me
I tried to resist
But your kiss blew me away

Every fear, every letdown
Every painful memory
Fades away when I'm with you
Every high, every low
Every late night drinkin' alone
Swearin' I would never love again
Baby, you got under my skin
Yes, you did
Baby, you got under my skin

Sittin' pretty like a brand new tattoo
I just sit back and enjoy the view
And it looks like this time
It ain't gonna fade

You went and took a lost and a lonely man
Said you're gonna love me to the end
All it took was a lot of prayer
And a little faith

Every fear, every letdown
Every painful memory
Fades away when I'm with you
Every high, every low
Every late night drinkin' alone
Swearin' I would never love again
Baby, you got under my skin
Baby, you got under my skin, yeah

And every fear, every letdown
Every painful memory
Fades away when I'm with you
And every high, every low
Every late night drinkin' alone
Swearin' I would never love again
Baby, you got under my skin
Yes, you did
Baby, you got under my skin

I fell under the spell of your hazel eyes
Now I can't sleep though I have tried

I Don't Wanna Go To Heaven

It's that tin roof rain on a Sunday morning
It's your grandma's cross around your neck
It's that sunrise glowing through the blinds in the window
The kind that always steal my breath
Why would I ever wanna leave?

I don't wanna go to Heaven
When Heaven's right here lying next to me
I count every kiss and every blessing
As the only proof I'll ever need
I don't wanna go to Heaven
When Heaven's right here lying next to me

It's like that old dirt road was paved in gold
The pearly gates are our front porch
Loving you makes me believe
Even if the good Lord don't let me in, I got a glimpse
Of what it could've been, so

I don't wanna go to Heaven
When Heaven's right here lying next to me
I count every kiss and every blessing
As the only proof I'll ever need
I don't wanna go to Heaven
When Heaven's right here lying next to me

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Lying next to me
Oh-oh-oh, whoa

And I don't wanna go to Heaven
When Heaven's right here lying next to me
I count every kiss and every blessing
The only proof I'll ever need, yeah

I don't wanna go to Heaven
When Heaven's right here next to me
I count every kiss and every blessing
As the only proof I'll ever need
I don't wanna go to Heaven
When Heaven's right here lying next to me (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Lying next to me (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

World on Fire

Girl, when you called it quits
You coulda done it right
You coulda left this town out of it
When you said goodbye

You ruined everything I love
Ripped my heart right out my chest
Girl, it's like there ain't nothing left

You set my world on fire
Yeah, it's all long gone
I'm watching flames get higher
And I can't move on
I just gotta let it burn, burn, burn on down
Girl, without you it don't turn, turn, turn around
You set my world on fire
You set my world on fire

Can't hit that corner bar
Can't even ride them roads
Don't know my way around this place
I can't see through the smoke

Piled up every memory
Yeah, you took the good with all the bad
Why'd you have to strike that match

And set my world on fire
Yeah, it's all long gone
I'm watching flames get higher
And I can't move on
I just gotta let it burn, burn, burn on down
Girl, without you it don't turn, turn, turn around
You set my world on fire
You set my world on fire

Ain't nothing left for me
In this old nothing town
Guess all we'll be is ashes on the ground

So, I watch it burn, burn, burn on down
Ain't nothing I can hold on to right now
You set my

You set my world on fire
Yeah, it's all long gone
I'm watching flames get higher
And I can't move on
I just gotta let it burn, burn, burn on down
Girl, without you it don't turn, turn, turn around
You set my world on fire (oh-oh)
You set my world on fire (you set my world on fire)
You set my world on fire (yeah)
You set my world on fire (oh)
You set my world on fire

I Don't Miss You

Minds don't change, hearts don't break
People don't grow apart, time don't waste
Life ain't hard, memories don't fade
Love don't hurt and I don't care what they say
No, I don't miss you, yeah

You, you don't cross my mind or keep me up at night
You, you don't drive me crazy no more
And this world don't turn, the sky ain't blue
The sun don't shine, the stars don't shoot
People don't lie, girl, if that was the truth
Then I don't miss you

Whiskey don't burn, birds don't fly
Forever don't last, you never wonder why
Lessons don't learn, men don't cry
No one ever said it gets better with time
No, I don't miss you, yeah

You, you don't cross my mind or keep me up at night
You, you don't drive me crazy no more

Good By Now

It's been a hundred ten days, about six hours
Since you walked out the door
It's like you've got a super power
Keeps making me miss you more

I don't know what's going on
'Cause I ain't supposed to feel like this
Guess I'm doing something wrong
'Cause I ain't even close to over it

Baby, since you said goodbye then
You would think that I'd be good by now
Ah, but every time your name comes up
I can't put the whiskey down
How long is it gonna be until you and me
Is the last thing I'm thinking about?
Baby, since you said goodbye then
You would think that I'd be good by
Be good by now, yeah

Ah well girl, I guess I was crazy for thinking
I know how to get you gone
Spent a couple days cryin' then a couple more drinkin'
Ain't no end to this bender I'm on

Oh, I guess you didn't know
Yeah, this really ain't the way this works
I don't mind moving on slow
But it's going from good into bad into worse

Baby, since you said goodbye then
You would think that I'd be good by now
Ah, but every time your name comes up
I can't put the whiskey down
How long is it gonna be until you and me
Is the last thing I'm thinking about?
Baby, since you said goodbye then
You would think that I'd be good by
Be good by now, yeah (oh-oh)

Girl, we had a good thing, a good run
I just wanna get the good kind of drunk
Yeah, I wanna have a good time, a good night
But your memory's putting up a good fight

Baby, since you said goodbye then
You would think that I'd be good by now
Ah, but every time your name comes up
I can't put the whiskey down
How long is it gonna be until you and me
Is the last thing I'm thinking about? (
Baby, since you said goodbye then (
You would think that I'd be good by
Be good by now, yeah (oh-oh)

Girl, I oughta be good by now, yeah
Girl, you'd think that I'd be good by
Be good by now

What an Angel Ain't

I've heard it in church, they're everywhere
I swear I thought I met one at the bar one night
Had a bracelet made of pearls and blonde hair
She took me up to heaven, then I saw the light, yeah

She said we'd fly forever
Can't believe how hard I fell
No, no, no, I never thought I'd go through hell

'Cause an angel ain't ever supposed to break your heart
A boy don't catch her sneaking out in the dark
Lying like a sinner, looking like a saint
I'm crying like the devil 'cause that angel ain't

Picking up the phone, no, an angel don't
Take your best whiskey when she leaves, leaves you all alone
Wishing this heartbreak was over but there's beauty in the pain
At least now I know what an angel ain't, oh yeah

No matter what I do to get her gone
Her perfume and her memory still here in my bed
When I was running my hands through her long, long hair
I never thought her baby blues would turn to red

Yeah, an angel ain't ever supposed to break your heart
A boy don't catch her sneaking out in the dark
Lying like a sinner, looking like a saint
I'm crying like the devil 'cause that angel ain't

Picking up the phone, no, an angel don't
Take your best whiskey when she leaves, leaves you all alone
Wishing this heartbreak was over but there's beauty in the pain
At least now I know what an angel ain't, oh yeah

Oh yeah

She said we'd fly forever
Can't believe how hard I fell
No, no, no, I never thought I'd go through hell

'Cause an angel ain't ever supposed to break your heart
A boy don't catch her sneaking out in the dark
Lying like a sinner, looking like a saint
I'm crying like the devil 'cause that angel ain't

Picking up the phone, no, an angel don't
Take your best whiskey when she leaves, leaves you all alone
Wishing this heartbreak was over but there's beauty in the pain
At least now I know what an angel ain't
At least now I know what an angel ain't, oh yeah

Dear Heart

Dear heart
We've got a lot of history
From high and low and in-between
You and me we're disconnected
I hate this, there I said it

Dear heart
You ain't who you used to be
Who's fault is it, you or me
That dropped that ball and wrecked it
I wanna forgive and forget it

But I don't trust you and the way you lead me
To hotel bars or the middle of a backseat
In strangers' cars or a friend of a friend
'Cause it's too damn hard on me and my
Hopeless romantic settle down side
I met the one a thousand times
I wish I could fall in love again
But it's too damn hard on me and my

Dear heart
We've had our share of wild times
You stayed beating while I drank and cried
My eyes out nights and days
But something's gotta change

'Cause I don't trust you and the way you lead me
To hotel bars or the middle of a backseat
In strangers' cars or a friend of a friend
'Cause it's too damn hard on me and my
Hopeless romantic settle down side
I met the one a thousand times
I wish I could fall in love again
But it's too damn hard on me and my
Dear heart, heart, heart
My dear heart
My dear heart

Dear heart
I'm sorry that I gave you up
To the ones who don't deserve your love
Wish I could take it back
But damn it don't work like that

'Cause I don't trust you and the way you lead me
To hotel bars or the middle of a backseat
In strangers' cars or a friend of a friend
'Cause it's too damn hard on me and my
Hopeless romantic settle down side
I met the one a thousand times
I wish I could fall in love again
But it's too damn hard on me and my
Dear heart, heart, heart
My dear heart
My dear heart
Dear heart

Love Is Blind

It'd be so much easier to let me go
Let me keep on wandering down my lonely road
Why you don't, only heaven knows
Be so much easier to let me go

Be so much easier to say goodbye
No more waiting up whiskey nights
Yeah, I'd've left 'bout a million times
It'd be so much easier to say goodbye

I ain't that patient, I ain't that kind
A little bit crazy, most of my life
Girl, you saved me, I don't know why
But I thank God that your love is blind

I guess you don't believe in ghosts
You don't see the ones that haunt me most
My demons and my skeletons
Honey, you ain't scared of them

I ain't that patient, I ain't that kind
A little bit crazy, most of my life
Girl, you saved me, I don't know why
But I thank God that your love is blind

You still love me even when
I haven't loved the man I've been
I don't deserve the grace you give
And how you love me even when

I ain't that patient, I ain't that kind
A little bit crazy, most of my life
Girl, you saved me, I don't know why
But I thank God that your love is blind
Yeah, I thank God that your love is blind
