Bring Home to My Mama
04:31
|
|||
I'm off to the bar to see what awaits
Hot damn! so many ladies all over the place
Laughin' and dancin' and drinkin' baccardi
Gettin' kinda wild at a bachelorette party
Now just look at all of these beautiful faces
And here i go, lookin' for love in all the wrong places
This girl's givin' me the eye, and so i had a hunch
I thought, maybe i could pick a wife out of this bunch?
She's got the long blond hair and the daisy duke jeans
She's shakin' that thing like i've never seen
The way she's ridin' the mechanical bull
Hot damn! that girl could rock my world
But she's been with all my boys and i'm the next in line
She's pounding down shots like it's closing time
She comes up to me and i say, "i don't want no drama
I'm just lookin' for a girl that i can bring home to my mama
Yeah i'm just lookin' for a girl that i can bring home to my mama"
My mama loved my papa and she raised her boys right
Cleanin' the house and cookin' every night
Tucked her boys in at night with a kiss on the cheek
And bakin' apples pies at least once a week
Take the family to church, yeah she ain't no sinner
Cornbread and chicken every sunday dinner
Now i'm here at the bar, and she wants to have some fun
But how will i know if she's the right one?
She's got the long blond hair and the daisy duke jeans
She's shakin' that thing like i've never seen
The way she's ridin' the mechanical bull
Hot damn! that girl could rock my world
But she's been with all my boys and i'm the next in line
She's pounding down shots like it's closing time
She comes up to me and i say, "i don't want no drama
I'm just lookin' for a girl that i can bring home to my mama
Yeah i'm just lookin' for a girl that i can bring home to my mama"
Hot damn girl!
Here we go
Now let me tell you how the story ends
Well, i open my eyes, and there she was
Guess i must have packed on a healthy buzz
Got hitched then split down to tijuana
Runnin' away from the day when i have to bring her home to my mama
Good lord!
She was shakin' that thing like i've never seen
The way she's ridin' the mechanical bull
Hot damn! that girl could rock my world
But she's been with all my boys and i'm the next in line
She's pounding down shots like it's closing time
She comes up to me and i say, "i don't want no drama
I'm just lookin' for a girl that i can bring home to my mama
Yeah i'm just lookin' for a girl that i can bring home to my mama"
I guess she got the best of me....
Hot damn!

Even Keel
03:41

Well he lost his job to covid-19
It's so hard to fill the tank with gasoline
But he goes where he needs to go, he keeps his cool
Still pickin' up the kids from school
He's pickin' up the groceries with relative ease
Still livin' off the government cheese
Comin' straight home to greet his wife, he says
"I couldn't ask for a better life"
Now life's been rough but this is how they feel
They're still living on an even keel
Still got their home and a decent set of wheels
And they're getting by on an even keel
When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade
Or sip an ice cold brew in the shade
Now it may cost money to provide for you and me
But livin' in america is always free
She stays at home with the newborn, yeah she knows her place
Her whole world lights up when she sees her kid's faces
Bologna sandwiches with a drink box
And they're off to school, and she cleans up the house
Now when her man lost his job they almost lost all hope
Now uncle sam pays the bills and she still watches her soaps
And when he comes home she says, "how was your day?"
He says, "thank god for the u.s. of a"
Now the money's been tight but this is how they feel
They're still living on an even keel
They could have slipped on life's banana peel
But they're getting by on an even keel
No matter what comes their way they soar like an eagle
They're taking chances like evel knievel
Now it may cost money to provide for you and me
But livin' in america is always free
Still livin' on an even keel
Gettin' by on an even keel
Still livin' on an even keel
He loves her, and she loves him all right
They're gettin' by although the money is tight
And when he comes home everyday, he says,
"Thank goodness for the u.s. of a"
Now life's been rough but this is how they feel
They're still living on an even keel
Still got their home and a decent set of wheels
And they're getting by on an even keel
When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade
Or sip an ice cold brew in the shade
Now it may cost money to provide for you and me
But livin' in america is always free
Gettin' by on an even keel
Still livin' on an even keel
Livin' in america is always free
Remember that

Standin' My Ground
03:46
|
|||
I got american flags that everyone one can see
Another flag here says "don't tread on me"
Don't you see my signs posted on my trees?
This one here says private property
Another one here says to "keep off the grass"
Better curb your dog or i'll put my foot up your ass
Don't argue with me, you see, i know my rights, this one says
"Trespassers will be shot on sight"
I'll be standin' my ground morning noon and night
Don't mess with me cuz i know my rights
And i'll be standin' my ground, and you best be walkin'
Or i'm lettin' my gun doin' all the talkin'
I'm standin' my ground, it's the only solution
It's in the bill of rights, it's in the constitution
I'm standin' my ground, if you're standing around
I'll be keepin' this country safe and sound
I took a ride in my truck just to get fresh air and i thought to myself,
"Well, it's five o'clock somewhere"
I'm off to the bar to get a drink in me
You see I'm never lookin' for trouble, but trouble finds me
You're talking that trash, i said, "keep it down please"
Keep on runnin' that mouth, i put my hand on my piece
I'm just a regular joe, just a tom, dick, and harry
But i know a little thing called conceal and carry
I'm standin' my ground morning noon and night
Don't mess with me cuz i know my rights
And i'll be standin' my ground, and you best be walkin'
Or i'm lettin' my gun doin' all the talkin'
I'm standin' my ground, it's the only solution
It's in the bill of rights, it's in the constitution
I'm standin' my ground, if you're standing around
I'll be keepin' america safe and sound
Standin' my ground
Standin' my ground
Now i know what you're thinkin', and i know what you're sayin'
You're saying, "mister, you best be doin' some prayin'
You're a fine upstanding gentleman as far as i can tell
But your trigger happy ways will send you straight to hell"
And i say, "i know the word of god, i know the truth, he said,
'eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth'
Don't put the blame on me, cuz i'll call you a liar
Cuz if you were in my shoes you'd be fightin' fire with fire"
I'll be standin' my ground morning noon and night
Don't mess with me cuz i know my rights
And i'll be standin' my ground, and you best be walkin'
Or i'm lettin' my gun doin' all the talkin'
I'm standin' my ground, it's the only solution
It's in the bill of rights, it's in the constitution
I'm standin' my ground, if you're standing around
I'll be keepin' the whole god damn world safe and sound
That's a fact!

Well she went out one evening to the local saloon
She met a honky tonk fella who took her back to his room
And although she never saw him, again
A couple weeks later the morning sickness began
So even though her heart may have never mended
She's doin' what the good lord intended
And another good christian life won't have ended
Because she's doin' what the good lord intended
Cuz in this life there ain't no planned parenthood
You take what the good lord gives you, and make good
And sometimes you make good 7 or 12 times over
But watching them grow is like finding a four leaf clover
Yes it is
And that girl was taught to do the best that as she could
Cuz that fine young lady is of my flesh and blood
Yes she is
And if i gave up on my children it'd be a damn shame
Damn straight
Cuz who would carry on the whitaker family name?
So even though her heart may have never mended
She's doin' what the good lord intended
And another good christian life won't have ended
Because she's doin' what the good lord intended
And that's a fact

One Hot Night In Vegas
04:04
|
|||
Now in the middle of the desert is the city of lights
It's a magical place full of magical nights
Now i was in town to play a show
And after the gig, hit the casino
I was gettin' comped at the slot machine
By the finest young waitress you ever did see
Now this girl was a stone cold fox
She asked "what'll it be?", i said "love on the rocks"
Thanked her the drink and gave her a tip
I asked her to join me for a night on the strip
I was willing to wait until she got off the job
So i could introduce her to billy bob
Now i've been around the world on many different stages
Met a lot of women, seen a lot of faces
But i've got a story that's one for the ages
Oh what i wouldn't give for that one night in vegas
Cuz i didn't know if i would see her again
Got hitched in the chapel, halleluah, amen
And i would give up being rich and famous
So i could relive that one hot night in vegas
From caesar's palace to the bellagio
Man there wasn't a casino that we didn't go
We saw show after show and took shot after shot
And what happened next, well i damn near forgot
Woke up with a ring on my finger
Man i wish that was a memory that still lingered
Pick myself up off the bathroom floor
Looking at pictures from the night before
You're in the cocktail dress, and i was shirtless
With elvis presiding over the service
Now i know it's vegas but we sure moved fast,
So is this a thing that's gonna last?
Now i've been around the world on many different stages
Met a lot of women, seen a lot of faces
But i've got a story that's one for the ages
Oh what i wouldn't give for that one night in vegas
Cuz i didn't know if i would see her again
Got hitched in the chapel, halleluah, amen
And i would give up being rich and famous
So i could relive that one hot night in vegas
Everybody thought we were doin' wrong
But after all these years we're still going strong
But that memory has damn near faded
Oh what i wouldn't give for that one hot night in vegas
Now i've been around the world on many different stages
Met a lot of women, seen a lot of faces
But i've got a story that's one for the ages
Oh what i wouldn't give for that one night in vegas
Now i've been around the world on many different stages
Met a lot of women, seen a lot of faces
But i've got a story that's one for the ages
Oh what i wouldn't give for that one night in vegas
Cuz i didn't know if i would see her again
Got hitched in the chapel, halleluah, amen
And i would give up being rich and famous
So i could relive that one hot night in vegas
Man, i wish i could turn back time

Wear It With Pride
03:47
|
|||
Now in this nation, we got flags of all types
From the confederacy to the stars and stripes
So whether you're from the north, or you're from the south
Just show it with pride, that's what it's all about
Cuz in this land of liberty
Ain't no one allowed to mess with your property
What's yours is yours, and what's mine is mine
So keep off my grass, can't you read my signs?
Whatever they say, you just take it in stride
Cuz you just can't keep it on the inside
So wherever you're from, there ain't nothin' to hide
And whatever you wear baby, you wear it with pride
You wear it with pride now now
You wear it with pride
Now i know that these people have their good intents
With all this hullabaloo about these monuments
It don't matter if it's lincoln or robert e. lee
Well you just can't erase all this history
So while we're all citizens of one proud nation
There's no denyin' the pride of our generations
So for those tryin' to hide the confederacy
Well i thought this was the land of democracy
Whatever they say, you just take it in stride
Cuz you just can't keep it on the inside
So wherever you're from, there ain't nothin' to hide
And whatever you wear baby, you wear it with pride
You wear it with pride now now
You wear it with pride
Gee-tar!
You put it on your clothes and you put it on your land
And it's your right i just don't understand
And all these people tryin' to squash our voice
But whatever happened to the freedom of choice?
So whatever they say baby, you just take it in stride
Cuz you just can't keep it on the inside
So wherever you're from, there ain't nothin' to hide
And whatever you wear child, you wear it with pride
You wear it with pride now now
You wear it with pride
And that's a fact

Drinkin' and Trainin'
03:21
|
|||
Well it's friday night and the weekend's arrived
Wanna do something different, wanna feel more alive
But whatever it is, i gotta tie on a buzz
Ain't doin' no drivin', gotta avoid the fuzz
Then all of a sudden i heard a train whistle
I got so excited, i whipped out my pistol
I shot it in the air, i was hootin' and hollerin'
Now i know it's the train tracks that i'll be followin'
All aboard this drinkin' train
Gotta drink a shot of whiskey, gonna feel no pain
Gonna find me a good little honky tonk
And that'll be the stop that i hop off
Gonna find me a lady, gonna dance all night
Pass out in a field underneath a moonlight
And when i wake up with a pain in my brain
Gonna hop on that train and do it again
Well it's saturday mornin' and my head's a fog
Gotta get me a little bit'a hair of the dog
And I thought to myself, am i doin' any harm?
Should i get to my cattle, get back on the farm?
But off in the distance i hear that chuggin' sound
I hop right on & i'm chattanooga bound
Gonna find me a bar with a honky tonk band
Play texas hold 'em, get a few winnin' hands
Flop
Turn
River
All in!
All aboard this drinkin' train
Gotta drink a shot of whiskey, gonna feel no pain
Gonna find me a good little honky tonk
And that'll be the stop that i hop off
Gonna find me a lady, gonna dance all night
Pass out in a field underneath a moonlight
And when i wake up with a pain in my brain
Gonna hop on that train and do it again
Now it's sunday mornin', and i've started my search
Gotta repent my sins, gotta find me a church
And after i get my life back on track
Gotta find me a train and head on back
Now you could say i'm just goin' through a phase
Should i give up my gamblin' and drinkin' ways?
But i just spoke to god and he forgave my sins
Now i'm drinkin' and trainin' all over again
All aboard this drinkin' train
Gotta drink a shot of whiskey, gonna feel no pain
Gonna find me a good little honky tonk
And that'll be the stop that i hop off
Gonna find me a lady, gonna dance all night
Pass out in a field underneath a moonlight
And when i wake up with a pain in my brain
Gonna hop on that train and do it again
And that's a fact, jack

America, How Are Ya'?
03:37
|
|||
Now i have drivin' from sea to shinin' sea
And it seems like this land ain't made for you and me
From the fruited plains to the rolling hills
This country is dotted with these damn windmills, now
These things, they shouldn't be legal
I saw one lop a head off a bald eagle
And that's not the only thing i've seen get murdered
How 'bout the good ol' american worker?
America, how are ya'?
Oh say can you see
This world is changin' but don't cha forget
This land was made for you and me
America the beautiful
God shed his grace on thee
Now they're giving it away, but i'm here to say
I'm takin' it back for you and me
And what kinda folks are we talkin' about?
We're talkin', coal miners down in west virginia
And some good ol' frackers down in pennsylvania
On off shore rigs off the gulf coast
Yeah these are the kind of folks we care about the most
Now the wind may be blowin', but soon it will stop
While these good ol' boys are workin' around the clock
Now, i'm not sayin' that these machines are evil
But you gotta give this land back to the american people
America, how are ya'?
Oh say can you see
This world is changin' but don't cha forget
This land was made for you and me
America the beautiful
God shed his grace on thee
Now they're giving it away, but i'm here to say
I'm takin' it back for you and me
And that's a fact, jack
America, how are ya'?
I know our flag is still there
So i'm here to take you back
With bombs burstin' in the air
America the beautiful
God shed his grace on thee
And don't forget the most important part
This land was made for you and me
And you best believe that!

Regrets With All MY Ex's
06:00
|
|||
Got hitched to a lady named lucille
She liked me for my money and my automobile
Though in the end she didn't get it all
She got a couple kids out of the deal
Then i married a woman named doreen
She tossed around my heart like a washing machine
And the money and the kids were again at stake
But by then i knew the routine
And i've got regrets with all my ex's
Heartbreaks from coast to coast
And though it felt real good to walk away
It's the kids and the bank account that hurt the most
I met a girl from new york city
She had a big heart and was awful pretty
But she just couldn't change my country ways
So we had to part, and ain't that a pity
Then i met a girl from san antony
She said she loved me the same, but it was all phony
She acted the part all the way to the altar
And now she's ridin' the alimony pony
And i've got regrets with all my ex's
Heartbreaks from coast to coast
And though it felt real good to walk away
It's the kids and the bank account that hurt the most
And i've got regrets with all my ex's
Heartbreaks from coast to coast
And though it felt real good to walk away
It's the kids and the bank account that hurt the most
Yeah bein' on the road is my claim to fame
And love 'em and leave 'em is the name of the game
But every now and then i start to wonder
If this life i lead is the thing that's gonna take me down under?
Told you about gettin' hitched in tijuana
Well eventually i had to bring her home to my mama
She disapproved and then the thing was doomed
And pretty soon well, she was a goner
And that cocktail waitress from vegas
We're still together, and ain't that outrageous
But when she learns of my sordid past
Man, i'll look like a big ignoramous, that's for sure
And i've got regrets with all my ex's
Heartbreaks from coast to coast
And though it felt real good to walk away
It's the kids and the bank account that hurt the most
And i've got regrets with all my ex's
Heartbreaks from coast to coast
And though it always felt real good to walk away
It's the girls and my heart and the kids and the bills and my credit and the bank account
That hurt the most
