Ford Ranger and a cowboy hat, Travis Tritt on FM Huntin' dog right behind my gun rack - yeah it's us against them I got my own chew, don't need a pinch out of yours I got a can of fresh Copenhagen from the country store Crappy fishin' in a green john boat, we got plenty of bait Sittin' knockin' back cold ones and thinkin' - ain't America great Cause we've got all the freedom and we don't even care All this talk about oil security and I ain't even scared I've got my own views and you've got yours How's about workin' together instead of keepin' score I've got a double barrell in my doublewide It ain't about livin' on cinderblocks, it's 'bout American pride Cause two barrells of rocksalt will keep my homeland safe Sometimes you know I feel like an American hero just keepin' critters at bay Ford Ranger and a cowboy hat, Travis Tritt on FM Huntin' dog right behind my gun rack - yeah it's us against them

Game 04:16
Time spent for a penny – that’s not enough. But what’s enough anymore? It’s just one in a million, then a million more. But then you still feel poor. It’s a game that we all play. But if it means that much we’d do it everyday. It’s a shame to waste a day. Cause time sneaks up on you and then it slips away. Sometimes you can steal it, but that’s no fun. Yeah, you’re no fun anymore. I’ll run the whole city but I won’t get far. No I don’t get far. It’s a game that we all play. But if it means that much we’d do it everyday. It’s a shame to waste a day. Cause time sneaks up on you and then it slips away.

Easy 03:58
It used to be easy – to fall in love, It used to be no big deal – that’s how it starts. It used to be easy – to not think much, It used to be no big deal, and not mean much at all. But oh, then there you were Life went crazy – oh what a rush. It used to be easy – to feel so young. We used to stay out all night, and not care what’s to come. Life was so wild then – and seemed so long, But a thing we’d never known was sneaking up on us. (and) So – here we are Life seems crazy, but there’s more to come. It used to be easy – to be so dumb. It used to be no big deal – one more day done gone. If I could slow life down – I sure would. I’m running out of time with you – and that’s not what I want. And so, here we are; Life gets crazy, but there’s more to come And oh, yeah when it comes, All that I ask is – don’t leave me alone

Sally 04:56
I pull a pink ribbon from the head of my baby as she passes by She turns around like she's ready to kiss me but waits for my line But I stood frozen there just gasping for air but I don't know why...I...I...I... I didn't have the nerve to kiss my girl in front of all the other guys Oh Sally your lovin' eyes will sail tonight And when the captain sings my praise won't you hold on tight I steal drunken kisses from the barstool mistress as a poke pinches my side She rears her fist back like she's ready to slug me but listens to me cry "Oh baby you know you've got my soul - just look into my eye-eye-eye-eyes." She drags me out by the seat of my pants and I pray she stays in my life. Oh Sally your lovin' eyes will sail tonight And when the captain sings my praise won't you hold on tight. Shabada doo be doh doo doobie doo ba doo do bow shabadabadoobiedowow Laboodahboodow dow dooboo bow wow. Loop do woop poowowboodoowow. Ah rootie tootie dootie doop doowoop doowow. Doop doowoo doowow. Rootie tootie doowee dowow doopie roopie roopoo. Doopdoowah doowow rootie tootie doowow, ah rootahtootahrootie dowow. Oh Sally your lovin' eyes will sail tonight And when the captain sings my praise won't you hold on tight Oh Sally your lovin' eyes will sail tonight And when the captain sings my praise won't you hold on tight She's my one and only my love and my life She's my one and only my love and my life She's my one and only my love and my life She's my one and only my love and my life

Runnin' 04:59
Well I ran all the way home, all the way home - I'm goin' back home And it rained, oh how it poured, I kept movin' forward - I wanna get home And although I don't know the way, I kept makin' hay - all the way home And I ran fast as I could, faster than I should - I wanna get home Get on out of my way, get on out of my way, out of my way I want out of this place, get me out of this place - I wanna go home Well it seemed normal enough, forgettin' stuff - I'm just getting old But then I got to this place, I forgot my face - and who I am Well if I just had some cash, I'd catch a cab - to take me back home But my mouth won't form the words, and thoughts can't be heard - I wanna go home Get on out of my way, get on out of my way, out of my way I want out of this place, get me out of this place - I wanna go home

You've got a choice, son - it's what you want it to be With every single layer of meaning there's always another to peel You can make it what you want, make it what you want Make it what you want you can make it what you want Make it what you want, make it what you want Make it what you want you can make it what you want Make it what you want, make it what you want Make it what you want you can make it what you want Make it what you want, make it what you want You can make it... Everything's coming together just as it falls apart Every time one of us dies another gets a fresh new start Everything's coming together all at once in your heart You should try to keep it together cause it can rip right apart Don't let it rip right apart After the bars close and your all alone When your soul goes as black as the night good and evil all at once And every single thing you think suddenly means so much Can you hold on? Hold on. Everything's coming together just as it falls apart Every time one of us dies another gets a fresh new start Everything's coming together all at once in your heart You should try to keep it together cause it can rip right apart Don't let it rip right apart.

There’s nobody left at the bar drinking. It’s mid-November and I’m sleeping with my windows up. The full moon pull has got my mind thinking. To do list like the sun that keeps rising up. I hope it goes back down. So I can sleep. The sun keeps rising and I keep falling down. The sun keeps rising and I can’t knock it down. There’s no use fighting what nature brought you. Some of us are blind while some get to see the earth. I could’ve done more but I never thought to. Chalk it up to love and live and learn. Oh what I’ve learned. The sun keeps rising and I keep falling down. The sun keeps rising and I can’t knock it down
