Bare Skin Rug (feat. Miranda Lambert)
. . .


Look out

People used to call me backwards, livin' out here with the tractors
Lettin' this world leave me behind
Now a days I'm an innovator, I'm a country boy prognosticator
Man, a man ahead of my times

I've got a hundred acre farm
I've got a John Deere in my barn
I've got a garden in my yard
Full of corn, peas and beans

I've got a guitar, I play unplugged
I've got a homegrown girl I love
And when the summer time hits we skinny dip in the stream
I was green before green was a thing

Sheets on the clothes line dryin', red tail hawks are flyin'
A couple of deer on the timber line
Yeah, and I know a lot more about cane pole fishin'
Then I ever will know about carbon emissions
But my little corner of the world is doin' just fine

I've got a hundred acre farm
I've got a John Deere in my barn
I've got a garden in my yard
Full of corn, peas and beans

I've got a guitar, I play unplugged
I've got a homegrown girl I love
And when the summer time hits we skinny dip in the stream
I was green before green was a thing

I've got a hundred acre farm
I've got a John Deere in my barn
I've got a garden in my yard
Full of [Incomprehensible] and greens

I've got a guitar, I play unplugged
I've got a homegrown girl I love
And when the summer time hits we skinny dip in the stream
I was green before green was a thing
I was green before green was a thing

Shes got her new jeans on
Lookin' so right its wrong
Ummm everybody stares as she walks on by

See those double takes
Hear those slammin' breaks
Yeah when she smiles you can see the sparks fly

My baby's gotten good
Good at starting fires
Hearts burn for her
But I know Im walkin' beside her
Yeah maybe babys gotten good at startin' fires
But Im the only one
Aint no doubt
Only one that puts them out

Shes got her long red dress
And boy I must confess
Ummm when you see her she'll take your breath away
When we're out on the town
Eyes look her up and down
Yeah she makes the night time hotter than a summer day

My baby's gotten good
Good at starting fires
Hearts burn for her
But I know Im walkin' beside her
Yeah maybe babys gotten good at startin' fires
But Im the only one
Aint no doubt
Only one that puts them out

Im a lucky man and I know its true
Her fire burns for me
Yeah thats just so cooool

My baby's gotten good
Good at starting fires
Hearts burn for her
But I know Im walkin' beside her
Yeah maybe babys gotten good at startin' fires
But Im the only one
Aint no doubt
Only one that puts them out

My baby's gotten good
Good at starting fires
Hearts burn for her
But I know Im walkin' beside her
Yeah maybe babys gotten good at startin' fires
But Im the only one
Aint no doubt
Only one that puts them out

Red roadside wild flower if I'd only picked you
Took you home set you on the counter
Oh, at least a time or two
Maybe she'd thought it through.

Yellow sunset slowly dipping down in the rear view
Oh, how she'd love to sit and watch you
I could have done that a whole lot more
If I hadn't been so stubborn, been so selfish
Thought about her more, thought about me less
Joked and maked her laugh, held her when she cried
A little more that.. maybe I...

Wouldn't be driving like hell flying like crazy down the highway
Calling everyone we know stopping any place she might be
Going any place she might go beating on the dash
Screaming out her name at the windshield tears soaking up my face
If I had loved her this much all along, maybe maybe, yeaa maybe...
She wouldn't be gone.. she wouldn't be gone..

She warned me it was coming said if I didn't change
She was leaving
I just didn't believe she would ever really walk out,
God, I believe her now
Called her mamma, cried like a baby to her best friend
If they've seen her, they ain't sayin, they ain't sayin...
Now, I'm cursing like a fool, praying it ain't too late
All I wanna do is fix my mistakes.

Find her beg her for one more try, until then damn it I"ll..
Be driving like hell flying like crazy down the highway
Calling everyone we know stopping any place she might be
Going any place she might go beating on the dash
Screaming out her name at the windshield tears soaking up my face
If I had loved her this much all along, maybe maybe, yeaa maybe...
She wouldn't be gone..

I wouldn't be beating on the dash
Screaming out her name at the windshield tears soaking up my face
If I had loved her this much all along, maybe maybe, yeaa maybe...
She wouldn't be gone..

Red roadside wild flower if I'd only picked you
Took you home set you on the counter, oh at least a time or two
Maybe she'd thought it through...

I can taste your kiss on my lips
And I'm wrapped around your finger tips
As I watch the moonlight dancing on your skin
Your green eyes and the sweet red wine
Go to my head girl every time
And I get drunk on you
I lose control and then
And here I go again

[Chorus]
I'm falling for you even though I know your only playing with my heart
Tomorrow might be hell
But a night or two of loving you is better than never at all
And I can't help myself
So I'll just hold on
I'll just hold on
I'll just hold on
Until your gone

Girl I know you're a gypsy soul
And I'm just a stop along your road
And you hang around long enough to blow my mind
If I had a star for every scar
You tattooed on my heart
I could fill up the Oklahoma sky
So girl I don't know why

[Chorus]

I'll just hold on
I'll just hold on
I'll just hold on
Till your gone

I look down and my cell phone rings
And I see your name and I know what that means
But I don't care
I'll just hold on
Till your gone

Every time you need to take it home?
Seeing you there just breaks my heart?
I don't care
I'll just hold on
Till your gone

Your green eyes and that sweet red wine
Go to my head girl every time
But I don't care
I'll just hold on
Till your gone

. . .


Wheels turn like my memories
And the head-lights shine like my used-to-be's
And time, time's taking way too long
And forgiveness, well I hope its not too far gone

A hundred miles from her is where I need to be
And a hundred miles from now Im gonna hit my knees
Say I miss you ooh I love you and Im sorry
And if she can find the way to take me back
I'll spend the rest of my life making up for the past
All my answers, All my hopes, All my fears
Are a hundred miles from here

I, I told her I had to go
And now I know what I didnt know
And this road could lead me back to your door
But can it take me to a girl who can love me more

A hundred miles from her is where I need to be
And a hundred miles from now Im gonna hit my knees
Say I miss you ooh I love you and Im sorry
And if she can find the way to take me back
I'll spend the rest of my life making up for the past
All my answers, All my hopes, All my fears
Are a hundred miles from here

. . .


Now listen to me, this here is how it used to be.....

I can see the day that I wont wanna hang out with the boys all night
Yeah and I can see a day when I'll walk off this dead end job for good
And I can see a day when I wont be afraid of getting older
But no matter what I do
Honey I cant see me never lovin' you

Some things are bound to change
But some things stay the same like they ought to
Some things are meant to be
Just like you and me together
If I die today or if i find a way to live forever
No matter what I do
Darlin' I cant see me never lovin' you

Yeah and I can see a time when you wont think you look as good as you used to
Ohh and I can see a time your auburn hair will turn to gray
And I can see a time when you think that you wont blow my mind but I can tell you
No matter what I do
Darlin' I cant see me never lovin' you

Some things are bound to change
But some things stay the same like they ought to
Some things are meant to be
Just like you and me together
If I die today or if i find a way to live forever
No matter what I do
I cant see me never lovin' you

No matter what I do
Honey I cant see me never lovin' you

Cat Diesel Power cap pulled down low
Makin that bacon, row by row
Can't get them muscles at the YMCA
It's from choppin' cotton, cuttin' corn and slingin' that hay
Been heavy liftin' since the crack of dawn
No doubt about it that boy's country strong

He's up in the mornin' yawnin' with those work boots on
Workin' like hell 'til the dinner bell brings him back home
Blue collar in his blood, backwoods in his bones
No doubt about it that boy's country strong

He wears an old felt hat on his head
Got a saddle for a pillow, and the ground for a bed
Spurs on his heels, reins in his hands
Drivin' cattle, ropin' steers and burnin' his brand
There ain't no lettin' up all day long
No doubt about it that boy's country strong

He's up in the mornin' yawnin' with those Tony Llama's on
Workin' like hell 'til the dinner bell brings him back home
Blue collar in his blood, backwoods in his bones
No doubt about it that boy's country strong

Yea behind every good man, there's a woman
She's the one thing that keeps him goin', keeps him goin'

She's up in the mornin' yawnin' with that coffee pot on
Workin' like hell 'til the dinner bell brings him back home
Blue collar in her blood, backwoods in her bones
No doubt about it that girl's country strong

Cowboy's, plowboys, good hearted women
They're all country strong

. . .


I look out across corn rows from a dirt road
Baby's kicked back in the front seat
Got her bare fit hanging out the window

We take a trip down memory lane
Dust on the truck, no chance of rain
My third generation farming friends
All pray that it's on the way

And if it don't show up we'll be alright
'Cause folks 'round here wouldn't take a million for a different life

Home sweet home
I thank my lucky stars at night
I was raised down here and raised up right
And my pride, you've got that right

Home sweet home
Where a little bit goes a long way
Where we shut her down on Sunday
I won't ever get too far away
From home sweet home

Pull down to the cane bridge, park in the ditch
Folks and poles are lined up
A little kid holds a stringer up
Got a massive fish

I drive away with a smile on my face
Knowing that this place was blessed by God's amazing grace

Home sweet home
I thank my lucky stars at night
I was raised down here and raised up right
And my pride, you've got that right

Home sweet home
Where a little bit goes a long way
Where we shut her down on Sunday
I won't ever get too far away
From home sweet home

Know matter where I go or where the road might lead
This little speck on the map is always gonna be

Home sweet home
I thank my lucky stars at night
I was raised down here and raised up right
And my pride, you've got that right

Home sweet home
Where a little bit goes long way
Where we shut her down on Sunday
No, I won't ever get too far away
From home sweet home
Yeah, I'm coming home

. . .


Well I've been thinking 'bout it an' its been too long
So put them dirty dishes down and leave that laundry alone
Come on
Take me by the hand and follow me to our room
You dont have to tell me this is way over due
I know, so lets go

I wanna be with you
Come let me kiss you
An' I dont mean a peck on the cheek
Girl tonight Im making up for lost time
I hope you gotta good night sleep
I aint gonna rush it
Girl youre gonna love it
Cause I intend to do it right
But I'll go ahead and warn ya
This is gonna take all night

Now I dont understand how life can get in the way
Of me and the prettiest girl in the world making love
But it does

I wanna be with you
Come let me kiss you
An' I dont mean a peck on the cheek
Girl tonight Im making up for lost time
I hope you gotta good night sleep
I aint gonna rush it
Girl youre gonna love it
Cause I intend to do it right
But I'll go ahead and warn ya
This is gonna take all night

I wanna be with you
Come let me kiss you
An' I dont mean a peck on the cheek
Girl tonight Im making up for lost time
I hope you gotta good night sleep
Im gonna pay attention to every square inch of you
I intend to do this right
But I'll go ahead and warn ya
This is gonna take all night

Yeah I'll show ya how I love ya
But girl its gonna take all night

. . .


You were just some one
Some friend of mine said take her out
An' have yourselves a good time
To be honest I was far from over a broken heart
You were the furthest thing from my mind
And it didnt seem to matter to you
When I looked away when we were introduced

Cause you broke the ice with a killer smile
Ordered us a drink and we talked a while
And I slowly started comin' around
Now here I am

To tell the truth I did my best to tell myself
Hey dont forget the last time
And I stood there in disbelief
That how easily you got to me with your eyes
You reached across the table and you took my hand
I knew I was in trouble right there and then

When you broke the ice with a killer smile
Ordered us a drink and we talked a while
And I slowly started comin' around
Now here I am

Down on one knee
Am I getting to you baby?
The way you got to me

When you broke the ice with a killer smile
Ordered us a drink and we talked a while
And I slowly started comin' around
Now here I am

. . .


There she was laughin', talkin', window shoppin'
With a new guy I'd heard about
I heard she found him right around when we said goodbye
I came real close and almost lost my temper
But I bit my tongue, kept my cool, 'cause I remembered

(CHORUS)
I don't care, she don't matter
I don't love her anymore, he can have her
I don't know why it slips my mind,
I tell myself all the time,
I guess I forgot again, for a second there,
That I don't care

Almost ten, shoulda known his car
Would still be parked in her drive
Almost pulled in, knocked on her door,
Gave her a piece of my mind
Oh, but I just kept on driving back to my place
Wonderin' why I went so far out of my way when

(CHORUS)
I don't care, she don't matter
I don't love her anymore, he can have her
I don't know why it slips my mind,
I tell myself all the time,
I guess I forgot again, for a second there,
That I don't care

I got home, the light was blinkin' on that old machine
She said, "my brother's been in town and he just left
And I miss you, give me a ring"

(CHORUS)
I still care, she's all that matters
I still love her just like always, gotta have her
I never got her off my mind,
Been hopin' she would call sometime
I know it's late to be drivin' over there,
But I don't care, I don't care

. . .


(feat. Miranda Lambert)

[Blake:]
Well the moon just came over the tree tops
And the whipper wheel started to sing
So I slipped down the hill
Got into the still
And drank til my ears started to ring

I followed a trail to through the hollow
To a shack back in the woods
Its my eighteenth birthday
Honey come out and play
Its time that we got to no good

[Duet:]
Now I aint afraind to be lonely
But I still wanna learn about love
Im a hillbilly child raised in the wild
Come lay down on my bare skin rug

[Miranda:]
My dress is torn up and tattered
My daddy left a long time ago
And my hair just hangs down
I never made it to town
Momma said thats where bad people go

But me and my sister been talkin'
Shes eighteen one year older than me
She laid down with a man
I want to understand what she says
I'll never believe

[Duet:]
Now I aint afraind to be lonely
But I still wanna learn about love
Im a hillbilly child raised in the wild
Lay me down on your bare skin rug

[Blake:]
Now I need a woman
[Miranda:]
And I need a man
[Duet:]
We aint got nobody
An' we aint even kin

Now I aint afraind to be lonely
But I still wanna learn about love
Im a hillbilly child raised in the wild
Lay me down on your bare skin rug
Come lay down on my bare skin rug
