You like the way that sounds?
Little Jimmy Jackson is jackin' up his Bronco
He's gonna lay a little rubber later on at the truck pull
All the girls are getting pretty, sprayin' on the White Rain
Yeah they're gonna get a rowdy tonight down at the football game
Yeah
Chorus:
We let it rip
When we got the money Let it roll
If we got the gas it gets wild
Yeah but that's the way we get down
In a Hicktown
Well you can see the neighbors butt crack nailing on his shingles
And his womans' smokin Pall Mall's watchin' Laura Ingles
And Granny's getting lit she's headin' out to bingo
Yeah my buddies and me are goin' muddin' down on Blue Hole Road
You know Don`t you know
Chorus:
We let it rip
When we got the money Let it roll
If we got the gas it gets wild
Yeah but that's the way we get down
In a Hicktown
(Bridge)
We hear folks in the city party in Martini Bars
And they like to show off in their fancy foreign cars
Out here in the boondocks we buy beer at Amoco
And crank our Kraco speakers with that country radio
Chorus
We let it rip
When we got the money let it roll
If we got the gas it gets wild
Yeah but that?s the way we get down
Oh Oh We Let It Rip
When we got the money Let it roll
If we got the gas it's buck wild
Yeah but that?s the way we get down
In a Hicktown
In a Hicktown
It's the way we get down
In a Hicktown
Yeah in a Hicktown
Oh we aint finished yet
We got you're country boys and you?re redneck girls
It's the party heard round the world
Right here in Hicktown
Yeah In Hicktown
The whole town's gettin' down
. . .

He gets up before dawn
Packs a lunch and a thermos full of coffee
It's another day in the dusty haze
Those burnin' rays are wearing down his body
And diesel's worth the price of gold
And its the cheapest grain he ever sold
But he's still holding on
Chorus
He just takes the tractor another round
And Pulls the plow across the ground
And sends up another prayer
He says Lord, I never complain I never ask why
But please don't let my dreams run dry
Underneath, underneath this
Amarillo Sky
That hail strom back in '83
Sure did take a toll on his family
But he stayed strong and carried on
Just like his dad and grandad did before him
On his knees every night he prays
Please let my crops and children grow
Cause that all he's ever known
Chorus
And he takes the tractor another round
Another round, another round
And he takes the tractor another round
Another round
He says I never complain I never ask why
But please dont let my dreams run dry
Underneath, underneath this
Amarillo sky
Underneath this
Amarillo Sky

It's 3 AM and I finally say
I'm sorry for acting that way
I didn't really mean to make you cry
Oh baby, sometimes I wonder why
CHORUS
Does it always have to come down
To you leaving
Before I'll say "I Love You"
Why do I always use the words
That cut the deepest
When I know how much it hurts you
Oh baby why, do I do that to you
I know I'd never let you walk away
So why do I push you 'til you break
And why are you always on the verge of good-bye
Before I'll show you how I really feel inside
CHORUS
Why do I always use the words that cut the deepest
When I know how much it hurts you
Oh baby why, do I do that to you
Why do I do that to you
. . .

I'm on the brink
I can barely think
With all of these thoughts
Running through my head
Wonderin' if I did you wrong
No way, I did you wrong
Every night, I try to justify
All the angry things I said
Oh but I can't take 'em back
No I can't do that
I was wrong, oh but now you're gone
CHORUS
I can't hide what I feel inside
And just stop lovin' you
Even if I wanted to
I can't hold on
But Lettin' Go
Is something I can't do, is something I can't do
Even if I wanted to
All the times I sat and watched you cry
When I should have held you close
Made sure that you know
How much I cared
But I was never there
I was wrong
And now you've moved on
CHORUS
Even if I wanted to
CHORUS
Even if I wanted to

I drove half way to town last night
and i turned around
in a field full of fireflies makin' such a lonely sound
as my headlights flashed on a mailbox by the road
i realized that i was livin in a different zip code
chorus
Well i'm livin in Lonesome USA
Population 1 since yesterday
livin and dyin in the hell i made
since you been gone
right now my mind's in another state
ain't enough heart here left to break
I'm livin in Lonesome, Lonesome USA
I never knew the sound of silence could be so loud
it's hard getting used to livin in an empty house
yeah i know i can come and go any time i please
but there's somethin' i miss about
you waitin' up on me
chorus
Hey i could drive all night
and be right here where i am
and still be just as lost 'til you come back
hey i look around here and it don't take long to see
oh where i am right now's the only place to be
Lonesome USA
population 1 since yesterday
livin' and dyin' in the hell i made
since you been gone
right now my mind's in another state
ain't enough heart here left to break
i'm livin in lonesome, lonesome USA
hey, im livin in lonesome, lonesome USA
hey, im livin in lonesome, lonesome USA

the sun has opened up my eyes
and I don't want to leave your side
for that lonesome road
but here I go
climbing back behind the wheel of
50 feet of chrome and steel and a load
they need in chicago
through the middle of the night unknown
I'm on a ride that won't let me go
Chorus:
I'm an asphalt cowboy
born to run underneath the stars
pay no mind to my lonely heart
I just ride, ride
'til I'm back in your arms again
I'll be out here on the wind
sometimes late at night
I see your picture by the dashboard light
and it takes me
where I'd like to be
wrapped up in a blanket there
pulling ribbons from your hair and your kiss
girl thats what I miss
still I drive these horses through the rain and snow
this high-speed rodeo is all I know
Chorus
and I'll ride
'til I'm back in your arms again
I'll be out here on the wind
and I'll ride
through the middle of the night unknown
I'm on a ride that won't let me go
. . .

I'm a blue collar man had a hammer in my hand
for the last few years of my life
Working double overtime
while you sleep alone at noght
Baby I know it's been a long hard ride
Sometimes I forget to say I love you
But baby please know that I do, yeah
Chorus
I live this life everyday
I make my share of mistakes
and every lesson I've learned
I've learned the hard way
I do the best that I can
and I hope that you understand
After all, I'm just a man
I found a postcard that you've saved
that's turned yellow with age
of a beautiful place in the sun
We've been saying every year that we're gonna go there
and run away just the two of us
Well I put the picture back on the dresser
Grab my keys, I got back to work, yeah
chorus *2
After all, I'm just a man
That's all I am
Baby I'm just a man

I've always been there
Every time he let you down
I've caught your fallen tears
Before they hit the ground
But I just heard someone say
That you finally told him goodbye
Well girl now you finally made your move
Now I'm here to make mine
I want to be there when you wake up
Be more then just your friend
Baby there's no mistakin'
You're the love I wanna be in
I've kept my feelings
Under lock and key
I couldn't let you see them
Even though it was killing me
You can't imagine all the time I've spent
Wishing you were mine
I just know if we ever kissed we'd go crazy baby
For the rest of our lives
I want to be there when you wake up
Be more then just your friend
Baby there's no mistakin'
You're the love I wanna be in
I want to be there when you wake up
Be more then just your friend
Baby there's no mistakin'
You're the love I wanna be in
You're the love I wanna be in

Waitin' at a stop light yesterday
As a funeral procession made it's way though the gates
I watched it roll up a winding road
Through a field of green
With white headstones all in a roll
And it made me think about where I'm at
On my not so straight and narrow path
All the generous and mostly undserved
Blessing that I've had
I had an all American mom and dad
Some of the coolest friends you could ever have
Found love I thought I'd never find
Sometimes I can't believe this life is mine
And I'm not planning on leavin' yet
But the truth is you just never know
And if this is as good as it gets
Man,I think I'm good to go
I'm good to go
I said a prayer for the dearly departed
And the loves ones left broken hearted
The traffic started
And I drove away a little more able
And for that I'm grateful
'Cause I've had my troubles and had my trails
I've hit the mark and I've missed by miles
Had days that I've been fightin' mad
But the good times have more then outweigh the bad
I had an all American mom and dad
Some of the coolest friends you could ever have
Found love I thought I'd never find
Sometimes I can't believe this life is mine
And I'm not planning on leavin' yet
But the truth is you just never know
And if this is as good as it gets
Man,I think I'm good to go
I'm good to go
Got to hold my newborn baby girl
And the hand of a man as he slipped from the world
I've laughed so hard I couldn't stop
Seen the sunrise from a mountain top
And I'm not plannin' on leavin' yet
But the truth is you just never know
And if this is as good as it gets
Man,I think I'm good to go
Yeah,I've been thinkin' bout where I'm at
On my not so straight and narrow path
And I wouldn't wanna change nothing about
This roll with the punches life I've had
I had an all American mom and dad
Some of the coolest friends you could ever have
Found love I thought I'd never find
Sometimes I can't believe this life is mine
And I'm not planning on leavin' yet
But the truth is you just never know
And if this is as good as it gets
Man,I think I'm good to go
I'm good to go
Had an all American mom and dad
Some of the coolest friends you could ever have
Found love I thought I'd never find
I can't believe this life is mine
And I'm not plannin' on leavin' yet
But the truth is you just never know
And if this is as good as it gets
Man,I think I'm good to go
I'm good to go

I've never been superstitious
I've never feared the unknown
But ever since you left me
I've believed in ghosts
Girl,I believe in ghosts
Well I'm haunted by a memory
That won't leave or let me go
Call me crazy and I may be
But I believe in ghosts
Girl,I believe in ghosts
I swear I keep seeing shadows
I know that I'm not alone
I feel the temperature dropping
And it chills me to the bone
Well I'm haunted by a memory
That won't leave or let me go
Call me crazy and I may be
But I believe in ghosts
Girl,I believe in ghosts
Should I be afraid should I be scared
You follow me everywhere I'm haunted
Call me crazy hell I maybe
But I believe in ghosts
Well I'm haunted by a memory
That won't leave or let me go
Call me crazy and I may be
But I believe in ghosts
Girl,I believe in ghosts
I've never been superstitious
I've never feared the unknown
But ever since you left my baby

It was the summer of '89
I fell in love and I learned to drive
Me and Becky didn't waste no time
Went zero to 65 one night
Being young was getting old
We were headed down a dead end road
But we didn't care we were on a roll
Hangin' on for the ride
Those lines that we were crossing
Carelessly tossin' caution to the wind
We were wearin' thin
We were livin' for the minute
Lovin' every second of it
Fearless wild and free
Nothin' could stop us
But one day time caught up with us
And woke us up in the middle of our dream
But not before she loved me
To think we thought that it would last
Now lookin' back I have to laugh
What a mess we made of that
Now I'm not sure that I would want it back
We learned a little bit about love
What it wasn't and what it was
It was fast and what it was fun
The beginning of the end of us
But one day that road just ran out
Yeah,I still travel down it now and then and once again
We were livin' for the minute
Lovin' every second of it
Fearless wild and free
Nothin' could stop us
But one day time caught up with us
And woke us up in the middle of our dream
But not before she loved me
She loved me
