Toby Keith Album

Winter gettin' colder, summer gettin' warmer
Tidal wave comin' cross the Mexican border
Why buy a gallon, it's cheaper by the barrel?
Just don't get busted singing Christmas carols

That's us, that's right
Gotta love this American ride
Both ends of the ozone burnin'
Funny how the world keeps turnin'
Look Ma, no hands, I love this American ride
Gotta love this American ride

Mama gets her rocks off watchin' Desperate Housewives
Daddy works his ass off payin' for the good life
Kids on the YouTube learnin' how to be cool
Livin' in a cruel world, pays to be a mean girl

That's us, that's right
Gotta love this American ride
Both ends of the ozone burnin'
Funny how the world keeps turnin'
Look Ma, no hands, I love this American ride
Gotta love this American ride

Poor little infamous, America's town
She gained five pounds and lost her crown
Quick fix plastic surgical antidote
Got herself a record deal, can't even sing a note

Plasma gettin' bigger, Jesus gettin' smaller
Spill a cup of coffee, make a million dollars
Customs caught a thug with an aerosol can
If the shoe don't fit, the fit's gonna hit the shan

That's us, that's right
Gotta love this American ride
Both ends of the ozone burnin'
Funny how the world keeps turnin'
Hot dog, hot damn, I love this American ride
Gotta love this American ride, oh yeah

Oh yeah, na na, na na na na
Na na, na na na na, na na, na na na na
Na, na, na, na

I learned quick my eighteenth summer
Diggin' ditches for the man
You can't be a guitar strummer
Cussin' that shovel in your hand

Took my paycheck to a pawn shop
Bought a silvertone guitar
Wrote a song about a beer joint
Went and played it in a bar

Chorus:
It's hard as hell out on this highway
But I'm still addicted to the show
When that crazy crowd calls out it keeps me
A gypsy driftin' down the road

Buses, trucks and lit up stages
Angel faces with no names
Stadium of savin' graces
Stand and singing with a flame

Repeat chorus

I go on when I'm too tired to sleep
And I go on, sing when I can't speak
I go on and on and on and on

Repeat chorus

And when that crazy crowd calls out it keeps me
A gypsy driftin' down the road

Sometimes I lie awake
Starring at the ceiling
I'll have someone beside me
But she won't know your name
She won't be here long
Hell she's almost a memory
You'll never be really gone
Girl, are you feelin' me?

[Chorus]
Do you fall asleep missin' my kiss in the dark?
Wake up the next morning not sure where you are?
Is it killin' you, like it's killin' me?
Are you lying there, lying to somebody else?
Trying to find the one thing I can't find for myself?
When he's touching you, really touching you,
Are you feelin' me?

You ever wish on a star that ain't fallin',
Hoping you dreams will come true?
Pray for the day that you know it's comin,
well I do, baby I do, baby I do
Baby I do

[Chorus]
Do you fall asleep missin' my kiss in the dark?
Wake up the next morning not sure where you are?
Is it killin' you, like it's killin' me?
Are you lying there, lying to somebody else?
Trying to find the one thing I can't find for myself?
When he's touching you, really touching you,
Are you feelin' me?

Oh, when he's touching you, are you feelin' me?
Are you feelin' me?
Are you feelin' me?
Oh, are you feelin' me?
Girl, are you feelin' me?
Oh, when he's touching you

I was hangin' out a last night at the top cat when the band slowed down to Merle
man i hit it 'cross the bar room trying to find my baby girl
some drunk tried to punk me, and ask my baby "do you dance" she said "yes i do, but not with you, i'm waitin' on my man"

see every dog has it's day dog, when the big dog throws him a bone
one moment in the sunshine when your ducks lined up in a row
lucky dog get a big ol' bed, stray dog gets the porch
every dog has it's day dog, but today dog just aint yours

well i flipped her around and i kissed her and she said lets do one more
and we were half way through a two step when he stepped out on the floor
he jerked me back and said "im cuttin' in, girl lets docee do" she doubled up her fist and caught him right square on the nose

every dog has it's day dog, when the big dog throws him a bone
one moment in the sunshine when the ducks line up in a row
lucky dog gets a big ol' bed, stray dog gets the porch
every dog has it's day dog, but today dog just aint yours

fat dog, skinny dog, little itty bitty dog, hot dog, kurd dog, weenie dog, bird dog, hound dog, cow dog, bow wow wow dog, wonder dog, barkin' dog, chasing' parked car dog.

every dog has it's day dog, when the big dog throws him a bone
one moment in the sunshine, when your ducks line up in a row
yeah lucky dog gets gets a big ol' bed, stray dog gets the porch
every dog has it's day dog, but today dog just aint yours
every dog has it's day dog, but today dog just aint yours

I didn't call you up and tell you
Girl, I'm sorry, with whiskey on my breath
I didn't ask you to forgive me
Cause girl I know you haven't yet

I didn't midnight knock your front door
Catch you scared to be alone
I didn't wake up with an empty bottle, baby
Just kinda woke up on my own

For the first time in forever
I see clearly why you're gone
Didn't open up my eyes
And cause your sad goodbye, baby
Just kinda woke up on my own

I didn't find strength in a stranger
I didn't go to bed all stoned
I didn't come to, to see the light this morning baby
Just kinda woke up on my own

I didn't come to, to see the light this morning baby
Just kinda woke up on my own

Mmmm

Yeah You can try to love your woman
Try to love your friends
Try to love your neighbor
You can try it again
Try to go to church
Try to live your life
Probably still be tryin' on the day that you die.

Well, if you're tryin' you ain't
(tryin')
There's work to do son
You can't get up early
Baby, you can't get it done
Roll up your sleeves
Don't tell me that you can't
Make something something
If you're tryin' you ain't

Try something old
Try something new
Try it when no one else is even watchin' but you (watchin' but you)
Try just a little
Try it too much
Try an over do it and it still ain't enough

And, if you're tryin' you ain't
(tryin' you ain't)
There's work to do son
You can't get up early
Baby, you can't get it done
Roll up your sleeves
Don't tell me that you can't
Make something something
If you're tryin' you ain't

Tryin'
Tryin' you ain't
Tryin'
Tryin'

Well if you're tryin' you ain't
(tryin' you ain't)
There's work to do son
You can't get up early
Baby, you can't get it done
Roll up your sleeves
Don't tell me that you can't
Make something something
If you're tryin' you ain't
And,if you're tryin' you ain't
(tryin' you ain't)
There's work to do son
You can't get up early
Baby, you can't get it done
Roll up your sleeves
Don't tell me that you can't
Make something something
If you're tryin' you ain't

Tryin
Tryin
Tryin you ain't
Tryin
Still tryin....

Got the news on Friday morning
But a tear I couldn't find
You should me how I am supposed to live
Now you should me how to die
I was lost til Sunday morning
I woke up to face my fear
While writing you this good bye song I found a tear

I'm going to miss that smile
I'm going to miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I'd do it all again

So play it sweet in heaven
Cause that's right where you want to be
I'm not cryin' cause I feel so sorry for you
I am cryin' for me

I got up and dialed your number
Your voice came on the line
That old familiar message
I have heard a thousand times
It just said, sorry that I missed you
Leave a message and god bless
I know that you think I am crazy
But I just had to hear your voice I guess

I'm going to miss that smile
I'm going to miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I'd do it all again

So play it sweet in heaven
Cause that's right where you want to be
I'm not cryin' cause I feel so sorry for you
I am cryin' for me

Oh

So play your upsidedown, left handed
Backward bass guitar
I'll see you on the other side superstar

I'm going to miss that smile
I'm going to miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I'd do it all again

So play it sweet in heaven
Cause that's right where you want to be
I'm not cryin' cause I feel so sorry for you
I am cryin' for me

I'm still cryin'
I'm cryin' for me
Oh
I'm still cryin'

[Jack my brake]? at the traffic stop
interstate lookin' like a parkin' lot
fatboy flying on a fatboy bike
weavin' in and out and passin' me by
I honked my horn and shot the bird at that crazy SOB
[Even if]? deep down I was wishin' it was me

But if I had one I'd have to say
I'd probably do the same dang thing
Pull her to the shoulder and let that steel horse run
I'd be hell on wheels if I had one

Called my brother said how you been
We ain't been fishin' since I don't know when
He said this graveyard shift's a graveyard grind
I got more bills than I got time
I'd love to weigh the line but my wife'll just stay on my case
I said I guess I know who wears
the pants around your place

But if I had one I'd have to say
I'd probably do the same dang thing
Stay at home holdin' my baby when the workday's done
Yeah I'd try to keep her happy if I had one

Sittin' on a barstool talkin' to a lady
She's runnin' my tab up callin' me baby
Buy her a drink she'll let you chase her
watch her shake her money maker

But if I had one I'd have to say
I'd probably shake it the same dang way
Hike it up high so I could get it some
I'd never buy another beer if I had one

You know things would be different if I had one

That's what I'd do, if I had one of those

I'd do it just like that, right... there

Thing's would be different if I had one too

But I don't

But if I had one

Yeah, [buddy]? Ooooh, [buddy]?

Why'd you had to wear that dress this evening
And those high heels with those buckles on your feet
I love the way your hair falls down across your shoulders
But you ain't gonna hear that from me

You got my heart racing like a freight train
Wishin' you and me were somewhere else
I know how good it's gonna be when we get to where we're goin
Think I'll better keep it to myself

Cause baby I can't tell you what I'm thinking
I've had way to much to drink tonight
Oh, this is where I usually say something out of line
Just be glad that right now you can't read my mind

Every time we dance we're getting closer
And I'd like to say a thing or two about it
But trust me, you don't wanna get me talkin
I'm better of just dancin' all around it

Cause baby I can't tell you what I'm thinking
I've had way to much to drink tonight
Oh, this is where I usually say something out of line
Just be glad that right now you can't read my mind

Cause baby I can't tell you what I'm thinking
I've had way to much to drink tonight
Oh, this is where I usually say something out of line
Just be glad that right now you can't read my mind

Oh, the road to love is paid with good intentions
Just be glad that right now you can't read my mind

Just be glad that right now you can't read my mind

I know sometimes you need me to be tender
I don't give you much to go on
So I'm amazed at how you hold on to me
Baby girl I've never been this close before
Never opened up that door
I'm still finding my way

Something else that lovers do
When I've been by myself
Never had to talk about
Movin' in with someone else

[Chorus]
Then you kiss my face
And it makes me smile
Girl I want to lay with you,
Right here with you
For a little while
When I feel that rush
Coming down all over me
You're as fas as I can see
That's tender as I wanna be
Tender as I wanna be
Girl it's so tender

No maybe it's that hard
To find someone to please me
Or it could be that real true love
Sometimes don't come easy
No it don't come easy

Chorus

Sun gettin' heavy and the night is fallin'
Phone ringin' it's a good time callin'
Old truck slicked up shinin' like a rhinestone

Takin' off like a big red pocket
Flyin' high by the time the band comes on

I'm loaded, got a fist full of cash
I'm rollin' just filed her up with gas
I'm goin' where I wanna be, I got my baby beside me
She's strollin' and I like it a lot
She's showin' everything she's got
We're blowin' these twenty dollar bills
I can't tell ya how good I feel
I'm loaded

My baby's got her shoes off out on the dance floor
Gonna dance 'til she can't dance anymore
They haven't played "Give Me Three Steps,
Give Me Three Steps yet

Bought ten rounds for my buddies at the back bar
Struck my last five in the tip jar
Stretched my dollar 'bout as far as it can stretch

What's that?--Checks?--You'd cash a check?--Well, hell!

I'm loaded, bring another round
Rock 'n rollin' my baby's still getting down
I'm blowin' through my twenty dollar bills
I can't believe how good I feel
I'm loaded--got a fist full of cash
I'm rollin' just filled her up with gas
I'm goin' where I wanna be--I got my baby beside me

I'm loaded (loaded)
Loaded (loaded)
Loaded (loaded)
Got my baby beside me

I'm loaded (loaded)
Rollin' (rollin')
Strollin' (strollin')
I got my baby beside me

I'm loaded (loaded)
Loaded (loaded)
Loaded (loaded)

I quit school in the 10th grade and I grew out my hair
I got me a job doin' lawnmower repair
I met an army recruiter down at the Winn Dixie
He said "son you've no future, pack up and go with me"

The first place we landed was a base called Balad
They convoyed our asses to a 10 acre F.O.B.
With my boots and my cover and an old m16
Two bottles of water and a cold M.R.E.

Chorus:
Oh you'll meet lots of new friends and you're sure to get paid
We'll show you the world and we'll teach you a trade
It's not a job, it's an adventure, oh yes sir I got that
Ah but you never told me i'd get my ass shot at
You never told me i'd get my ass shot at

The first night in combat we went out on patrol
They ambushed our convey and we chased the asshole
We found them all hidin' in low water ditches
And we took aim and killed all them son of a bitches

(Repeat Chorus)

Walked in on my buddy with a female M.P.
The ugliest woman you ever did see
He said "why are you laughin', you got lots of nerve"
Over here in the desert we grade on the curve

Ah you'll meet lots of new friends and you're sure to get paid
We'll show you the world and we'll teach you a trade
It's not a job, it's an adventure, oh yes sir I got that
Ah but you never told me i'd get my ass shot at
Oh you never told him he'd get his ass shot at
