The clouds are partin', the summer suns startin'
To burn down on that river
My baby's waitin', I got the Chevy shakin'
I'm blazin' a trail to get her, there she is

She's got her shades on and man, she's lookin' strong
Mine all mine for the weekend
The coolers loaded down, we're headed outta town
Jumpin' off the deep end

Goin' barefoot and crazy, me and my baby
Back flip off the flip right bridge
Double dog, dare me and I will
Meet me at the bottom with a cool wet kiss

She's rockin' that bikini top
My hearts skippin' like a rock across that water
Don't ever wanna stop
Goin' barefoot and crazy

The sun is droppin', we got the fire poppin'
And it's lightin' up her blue eyes
With a little bit of luck it'll heat things up
And we'll be lovin' in the moonlight

Break out my old guitar, sing fishin' in the dark
Baby, get ready
We'll take a little sip, we'll take a little dip
And sleep in the bed of my Chevy

Goin' barefoot and crazy, me and my baby
Just me and her and the man in the moon
Drinkin' on a cold bud brew
Mornin's gonna come way too soon

We'll wake up and do it all again
Wishin' it would never end
Anybody asks where we've been
Tell 'em barefoot and crazy

Barefoot and crazy, me and my baby
I did a back flip off the flip right bridge
Double dog dared me and I did
Met me at the bottom with a cool wet kiss

She's rockin' that bikini top
My hearts skippin' like a rock across that water
Don't ever wanna stop

Goin' barefoot and crazy
Don't ever wanna stop, don't ever wanna stop
Goin' barefoot and crazy

Goin' barefoot and crazy
Don't ever wanna stop, don't ever wanna stop
Goin' barefoot and crazy, goin' barefoot and crazy

Saw a story on the local news last night
'Bout one more struggling single mother
She was talking about how hard it is getting by
With no help, no money, no nothing from the baby's father

Made me think about this guy I know with a wife and a child
Who's working two jobs just to get by
Yeah, he says he'd do anything he could in this world
Just to give his young family a better life, yeah, a better life

Oh! That's a man!
That's a 19-year-old, modern-day hero man

Those two young Marines over there fighting for their country
Man, they're gonna be friends forever
Well they'd both come back eventually
But as bombs and destiny would have it
They don't come back together

Yeah, the one who lived to tell about
Why he can't even talk about it
Keeps fighting that fight up there in his head
Ain't a day goes by he don't wonder why
Why it wasn't me instead, it could've been me instead!

Oh! That's a man!
That's a you don't know how hard he tried
To save his buddy's life man

I don't know about you
But sometimes I just need a little reminding
To reach down to find some understanding
Find some kind of kindness

Read about a man who said his family had been farming
The same land in Ohio for a hundred years
Felt like he'd paid for it ten times over
With his own blood, his own sweat and his own tears

If he had to he'd be out there on that tractor working
Seven long, hot days a week
Yeah, he's the kind of fella that people get real quiet
When he stands up in church to speak
They know when he speaks

Oh! That's a man!
That's a stand tall, walk straight
Put God's share in the collection plate man
Oh! That's a man!
Oh! That's a man!

Not Giving Up on Me

[No lyrics]

I see you looking and I know what you think
You’re getting braver with every drink but
I am telling you something you need to know

She may look like a sweet young thing
Talking to him but she ain’t hearing a thing
If you were smart you’d turn around and let her go

That girls’ a Barbie doll
A Barbie doll
She’s real good-looking but she’s got no heart at all

She puts on her makeup and drives to the bar in her
Boyfriend’s old man’s brand-new car
She’s got no idea what she does or why

She does whatever she wants I guess
Whatever comes first or whatever looks best
Nobody I know has ever seen her cry

(Chorus)

You should have seen her last Saturday night
She had a friend of mine treating her right
She was hanging on him until she found a better deal

You should have seen how cold she got
My buddy asked why and she said why not
Nobody I know swears she’s even real

(Chorus)
