Billy Currington Album

I don't wanna rush this thing
I don't wanna jump the gun
I really wanna say those three little words
But I'm gonna bite my tongue

Yeah, I'm just gonna lay on back
Leave it on cruise control
I'm gonna hold it all inside
Till the right time comes down the road

[Chorus:]
I got a feelin'
My head's a reelin'
My heart is screamin'
I'm about to bust loose
Bottled up emotion
It's more than a notion
It starts with an "I"
And ends with a "U"
I got a feelin'
Are you feelin' it too

I guess I've all but said it now
So much for hopin' you'd go first
Don't leave me hangin' out here on a line
Baby, it's your turn
Say you couldn't sleep last night
Swore that you could feel me breathe
Had you wantin' me there by your side
Yeah, baby I know what you mean

[Second Chorus:]
I got a feelin'
My heads a reelin'
My heart is screemin'
I'm about to bust loose
Bottled up emotion
It's more than a notion
It starts with an "I"
And ends with a "U"
I get a feelin'
You're feelin' it too

Bottle up emotion
It's more than a notion
It starts with an "I"
And ends with a "U"
I got a feelin'
You're feelin' it too
You're feelin' it too
Yeah, you're feelin' it too
Feelin' it too

I prefer the fiddle to the violin
And I tend to think that super models are too thin
And I think that who you are is who you ought to be
But that's just me

The best of Andy Griffith was in black and white
Fishin' still beats workin' if you never get a bite
And coffee's kind of pointless without caffiene
But that's just me

And I believe in little that I hear and only half of what I see
And I believe that livin' by the book is harder than it used to be
And I'm convinced that loving you is going to be the secret to my longevity
But that's just me

I've never seen a place that I like more than home
When I go to the movies I don't take a telephone
And I'll buy the gas but you ought to get the air for free
But that's just me

I've never even been to Mars but I'm a man
And I accept the fact that women are just hard to understand
And I think that people take themselves to seriously
But that's just me

And I believe in little that I hear and only half of what I see
And I believe that livin' by the book is harder than it used to be
And I'm convinced that loving you is going to be the secret to my longevity
But that's just me
Hey that's just me

You're the last thing that I cling to
Before I fall asleep at night
You're the first thing that reach for
In the early mornin' light

[Chorus:]
You're the name that I see written in the stars
You're the face that I see in every cloud
Oh, I wish you could have been more like
Your memory and kept hangin' around

You're that tap on my shoulder
You're that voice in the crowd
You're that constant distraction
You're that book I can't put down

[Repeat Chorus]

It keeps haunting me, I still want and need you, always will
You're every, thought I think, every sight I see
Every feelin' I feel

[Repeat Chorus]

You're the last thing that I wish for

Well we know it ain't the first time
We know it used to be my past time
And a couple times back we agreed
That was gonna be my last time
But I guess last night I plum forgot
Who's runnin' this show and who's not

Oh I must've been off of my rocker
I must've got some wires crossed
To come in hear claimin' that from here on out
I'm gonna be the boss
Oh it must've been me the big talker
I had a little too much of Johnny Walker
So let's forget about it baby
I must've been off of my rocker

No there ain't no need to stay mad
No need to waste a whole day mad
Though I have to admit honey
You look pretty darn cute mad
Oh baby workin' this out can't be that hard
Hahaha, I said I'm gonna be in charge

Well I must've been off of my rocker
I must've got some wires crossed
To come in hear claimin'that from here on out
I'ma gonna be the boss
Oh it must've been me the big talker
I had a little too much of Johnny Walker
So let's forget about it baby
I must've been off of my rocker

Oh burn it down now

Yeah I guess last night I plum forgot
Who's runnin' this show and who's not

Oh I must've been off of my rocker
I must've got some wires crossed
To come in hear claimin'that from here on out
I'ma gonna be the boss
Oh it must've been me the big talker
I had a little too much of Johnny Walker
So let's forget about it baby
I must've been off of my rocker
Yeah let's forget about it baby
I must've been off of my rocker

I remember looking up
To look up to him
And I remember most the time
He wasn't there
I'd be waiting at the door
When he got home at night
He'd pass me by to go to pass out in his chair

And I'd say
Walk a little straighter daddy
You're swaying side to side
You're footsteps make me dizzy
And no matter how I try
I keep tripping and stumbling
If you'd look down here you'd see
Walk a little straighter daddy
You're leading me

He stumbled in the gym
On graduation day
And I couldn't help but feel
So ashamed
And I wasn't surprised a bit
When he didn't stay
He stumbled out before they called my name

And I thought
Walk a little straighter daddy
You're swaying side to side
It's not just me who's watching
you've caught everybody's eye
And you're tripping and stumbling
and even though I've turned 18
Walk a little straighter daddy
You're still leading me

The old mans still like he always was
But I love him anyway
If I've learned one thing from him
Its my kids will never have to say

Walk a little straighter daddy
You're swaying side to side
You're footsteps make me dizzy
And no matter how I try
I keep tripping and stumbling
if you'd look down here you'd see
Walk a little straighter daddy
You're leading me

Yeah walk a little straighter daddy

Well here we again me and my friends on a Friday night
Waitin' on Jimmy he's always gotta get his hair just right
Bobby yells where we gonna go
Ah you'd think by now he'd know

Where the girls are where the fun is
Where the heads get turned and the games begin
Might get you a name and a number
Kiss and a heart where the girls are

Pile three in my truck the rest will follow us and we'll head downtown
Ah we all know the drill hit Jack and Jill's then the Cavalier Lounge
Jimmy you run in and look around
And we'll know if you don't come out

Where the girls are where the fun is
Where the heads get turned and the games begin
Might get you a name and a number
Kiss and a heart where the girls are

If we gotta cross the county line
Oh you can bet we're gonna find

Where the girls are where the fun is
Where the heads get turned and the games begin
Might get you a name and a number
Ah where the girls are where the fun is
Where the heads get turned and the games begin
Might get you a name and a number
Kiss and a heart where the girls are
Where the girls are
Where the girls are

Daily grind is stealing me away again
When I just wanna lay back down
Another night gone and don't know where it went
What I need more than anything right now

Is time with you more time with you
To laugh and talk and play and make more love to you
Ah there's nothing in this world I'd rather do
Then spend time with you

Seven days you and me in paradise
The world revolving around us
We'd still be there and forever if the choice was mine
'Cause seven days that's not enough

Is time with you more time with you
To laugh and talk and play and make more love to you
Ah there's nothing in this world I'd rather do
Then spend time with you
Time with you

I'm gone for now to do the things I have to do
But baby you know I live

For time with you more time with you
To laugh and talk and play and make more love to you
Ah there's nothing in this world I'd rather do
Then spend time with you

Like a summer breeze floating across the water
Softer than a whisper on my skin
I can't begin to tell you how it moves me
It's so intense I burn within

When she gets close to me my emotions break free
And I just wanna hold on to her permanently
It's like nothing else my heart has ever felt
It's unbelievably heavenly
When she gets close to me

She walks across the room just like an angel
And I get that funny feeling deep inside
Pulls up a chair and sits down at the table
I come to laugh whoa there's nothing like

When she gets close to me my emotions break free
And I just wanna hold on to her permanently
It's like nothing else my heart has ever felt
It's unbelievably heavenly
When she gets close to me

Wow no one has ever touched me like this
Set me on fire with just one sweet gentle kiss
Amazing that's what it is

When she gets close to me my emotions break free
And I just wanna hold on to her permanently
It's like nothing else my heart has ever felt
It's unbelievably heavenly
When she gets close to me
Anywhere close to me

That red Georgia clay when mixed with the rain
Sure made for one nasty mess
Ah, but we were ridin' high in the old truck of mine
In deep as we could get
Always lookin' for a rut, tryin' not to get stuck
And swingin' that mud everywhere, growin' up down there

Me and my friends where the deep river bends
Had a long rope tied to a tree
Takin' turns on a swing, takin' turns takin' drinks
And I don't mean iced tea
A good buzz later playin' chicken with the gators
Way too young to be scared, growin' up down there

[Chorus:]
And those tan little peaches turnin' us on
Keepin' things hot all summer long
If I could back in a second I swear
Well, I'd still be growin' up down there

Well, nothin' going on ever lasted too long
We were good at makin' good times
Find a field spread the word keep a bonfire burnin'
Through both ends of the night
Had the radio up, had a keg in a truck
Tryin' to get lucky somewhere
Growin' up down there

And those tan little peaches turnin' us on
Keepin' things hot all summer long
If I could back in a second I swear
Well, I'd still be growin' up down there

And those tan little peaches turnin' us on
Keepin' things hot all summer long
If I could back in a second I swear
Well I'd still be growin' up down there

Yeah, lookin' back now man it don't seem fair

So there's somewhere you gotta be
Well, I sure hate to see you leave
I'll break my grip but babe you need to know
Next time I might not let you go

[Chorus:]
I know what you said
And I wanted that too
But takin' it slow is gettin' harder to do
It's feelin' more and more like forever
Holdin' you close
And next time I might not let you go

Good thing I don't get paid to think
'Cause I sure thought I had the strength
To fight love off, but my resistance is runnin' low
And next time I might not let you go

[Repeat Chorus]

Yeah next time I just might
Hold on for dear life

Yeah, next time I might not let you go
Next time I might not let you go

So, there's somewhere you gotta be

That backward town in my rearview
Was gonna be my whole world
Til my factory job got shipped to Mexico
And a city boy stole my sweet girl

I used to know everybody by name
Everybody's moved away
Can't say that I'm really wantin' to go
But I've run out of reasons to stay

[Chorus:]
This ain't nothin' like what I
Had in mind for me
But then again my future
Ain't what it used to be

Well I thought like my dad and his daddy before
That I would die where I was born
Live a small town dream in a big backyard
Raisin' babies and corn

Now here I am, one eye on the road
Tryin' to read a map on the dash
Nowhere close to making up my mind
With a fork in the road comin' fast

This ain't nothing like what I
Had in mind for me
Then again my future
Ain't what it used to be

This ain't nothing like what I
Had in mind for me
Then again my future
Ain't what it used to be

That backward town in my rearview
