Saturday night you can come on by
Just swing on down if you're looking for a good time
Yeah we got a little booze round here but you might wanna bring yourself a handle or a 12 pack
It's a good time - moonshine
Sippin' on that honey drink with you
So put them keys away no need to drive
Everybody walks on a Saturday night
You can let it all go you can let it fly
It's a barn party
(It's a barn party y'all)
Sittin' over there with a lighter in your hand trying to pop that top don't you know that it's a twist off?
No 502 just 415e
Come on down if you want to shoot some Jack D
It's a feel right southern night
Sippin' on Coors Light all night with you
So put them keys away no need to drive
Everybody walks on a Saturday night
You can let it all go you can let it fly
Stack the ice fill the cooler high
Loves all you need - don't start a fight
Smoke in the air and the fire's high
It's a barn party

Raccoon
03:48

|
I was out in the desert
Looking for the meaning of life
The little damn raccoon said you gotta choose
So I looked in his eyes (and I said)
I'm stuck in the middle
I'll ride another line
It's one or the other
And i'll try till I die - till I die
That raccoon he told me to listen
He said he'd seen a thing or two
Make up your mind
Either left or right
So I looked in his eyes (and I said)
I'm stuck in the middle
I'll ride another line
It's one or the other
And i'll try till I die - till I die
(I'm gonna get you raccoon)
I'm stuck in the middle
I'll ride another line
It's one or the other
And i'll try till I die - till I die

I don't wanna think baby - I aint trying to leave baby - all I need is getting next to you
I don't wanna fight baby - warming up the night baby - all I need is getting next to you
So give me a drink
It's been a hell of a week
They can say what they want
Blah blah blah blah blah blah
I aint listening
Turn the music on baby - to your favorite song baby - all I need is getting next to you
Whiskey on ice baby - warming up the night baby - all I need is getting next to you
So give me a drink
It's been a hell of a week
They can say what they want
Blah blah blah blah blah blah
I aint listening
So refill that glass and i'll tip it on back
They can talk all they want
Blah blah blah blah blah blah
I aint listening
It's been a hell of a week - won't you give that drink?
Damn straight, Rev
So give me a drink
It's been a hell of a week
They can say what they want
Blah blah blah blah blah blah
I aint listening
So refill my glass and i'll tip it on back
They can talk all they want
Blah blah blah blah blah blah
I aint listening

Magic
02:52

She been looking for a lovin' man and i've been looking for a girl like you
Someone to help me get back up - show me how i'm gonna make it through
Sometimes the world seems so tough like there's nothing else that I can do
She's my little bit of magic - when i'm feeling blue
A little bit of magic - the world aint that bad
Just a little bit of magic to help us relax
It's tragic when you have it and you let it slip away
A little bit of magic to shake off the hate
There's been times i've been beaten down I had choices that I couldn't make
In a world that could be so harsh - I never knew how much I could take
When you feel like giving up don't forget it's just around the bend
A little bit of magic to help you transcend
A little bit of magic - the world aint that bad
Just a little bit of magic to help us relax
It's tragic when you have it and you let it slip away
A little bit of magic to shake off the hate

Heartbreaker
03:01

Little Lucy worked at the corner store
She was sweet as a peach - everybody's kind of girl
She never had to try she'd just give me a smile and I give her my heart
I couldn't see through them lies
Now when I come around everybody is laughing at me
She said just what she thinks you wanna hear - She just buying time
It don't mean nothing at all
And i'm the kinda fool who believe her still - couldn't tell you why
She put her charm on me
And when she comes around you know just what I mean
She's a heartbreaker
I wish that I could say i'm gonna cut her loose
Move on with my life - I aint nobody's fool
She keeps beating me down - running all over town
Hell I don't know why i'm begging her not to leave
Oh baby please
Now when I come around everybody is laughing at me
She said just what she thinks you wanna hear - She just buying time
It don't mean nothing at all
And i'm the kinda fool who believe her still - couldn't tell you why
She put her charm on me
And when she comes around you know just what I mean
She's a heartbreaker
(thats right Rev)
She said just what she thinks you wanna hear - She just buying time
It don't mean nothing at all
And i'm the kinda fool who believe her still - couldn't tell you why
She put her charm on me
And when she comes around you know just what I mean
She's a heartbreaker

Dark Side
02:52
|

|
I heard you like to make an entrance - I can tell by the way that you walk
Just tell me what your looking for - I can play you anything you want
Once again we're dancing with the dark side baby and I know what i've gotta do
I've been losing too much sleep - I've been losing touch
I said I'd make it up to you - it aint enough
I've been leaving town in the middle of the night
And I don't wanna lose ya - cut me some slack
Here we are dancing with the dark side
I've been losing track of time - I've been losing face
I said i'd make it up to ya - you know it aint enough
(let em have it Rev)
You aint nothing but a paper chaser - sniffing out them dolla dolla bills
(aww shit)
Sometimes it may be tempting but we prefer to keep it real
Once again we're dancing with the dark side baby and I know what i've gotta do
I've been losing too much sleep - I've been losing touch
I said I'd make it up to you - it aint enough
I've been leaving town in the middle of the night
And I don't wanna lose ya - cut me some slack
Here we are dancing with the dark side
I've been losing too much time - I've been losing face
I said i'd make it up to ya - you know it aint enough

Be Somebody
02:45
|
|||
|
When we grow up we're gonna be somebody
Climb on up and we can take this drive
Everybody's speeding up their lives
Looking back on my younger years
We just wanted to get out of here
I wanna break that cycle clean
Do and say things we didn't mean
Living life just to chase that dream
Taking it all back
When we grow up we're gonna be somebody
Now that were older we can let it fly
Just kick back and feel that high
If I find love again I won't let it go
Who we are is what we know
I wanna break that cycle clean
Do and say things we didn't mean
Living life just to chase that dream
When we grow up we're gonna be somebody
Climb on up - music loud and we can push our luck
We light it up - park it down by the field in love
We had goals we could see them
Believe that we achieve them
Live it up
When we grow up we're gonna be somebody

Bring It Back
02:56
|
|||
|
I remember when our love was oh so new
Nothing mattered then it was only me and you
You would shine in the night Caroline
Do you remember when we stayed out all night?
Everywhere I went you were right there by my side
And your smile would light up my life
You never even had to try
I know one day we'll bring it back
It's not too late to bring it back
I may be a dreamer but I believe that we can make it through
You've shown me that I still have so much to lose
But i'm not giving up this time
I need you in my life Caroline
I know one day we'll bring it back
It's not too late to bring it back
I remember when our love was oh so new
Nothing mattered then it was only me and you
And I try all the time Caroline

Another Round
03:48
|

|
I don't need no lover - give me another round
Whiskey on the double till I hit the ground
Yes i'll have another round
I don't need nobody - give me another round
Now you've gone and left me - i'm tired of being down
Yes i'll have
Those neon lights are buzzing every night I can't stay away - lost my will to fight
Beat me down till i'm black and blue and i'll have another round
I can't forget I loved ya - give me another round
Till I can't remember - I need another round
Learn to live without you - give me another round
Drown away my worries until I hit the ground
Yes I'll have
Neon lights are buzzing every night I can't stay away - lost my will to fight
Beat me down till I'm black and blue and i'll have
Go on now - make your way to the door I aint chasing after you anymore
Now I can't get you out of my mind so i'll have - yes i'll have another round
I don't need no lover - give me another round
Those neon lights are buzzing every night I can't stay away - lost my will to fight
Beat me down till i'm black and blue and i'll have
Go on now - make your way to the door I aint chasing after you anymore
Now I can't get you out of my mind so i'll have - yes i'll have another round

Lazy Lover
03:00
|
|||
|
I don't want a lazy lover
I don't want to be here for another round
I try to tell myself I love her
I don't wanna have to pick myself off the ground
You can tell me that but I've been down this road before
Try to bring it back but i'm just asking for a little more
You can let it all go or I can let ya on down the road
The storm blew in and the river overflowed
I don't wanna let you down
But I don't wanna be your whipping boy
I don't want a lazy lover
Give it all you've got or nothing at all
Can't bring myself to give up on her
Now you've got me with my back up against the wall
You can tell me that but I've been down this road before
Try to bring it back but i'm just asking for a little more
You can let it all go or I can let ya on down the road
The storm blew in and the river overflowed
I don't wanna let you down
But I don't wanna be your whipping boy

Life
04:07
|
|||
|
I'm tired of being - i'd rather be nothing at all
It's always sunny and i'm hoping for rain
To come wash away all my sorrow and pain
And put me back on my feet
I know what I want and I know what I need
But it's not what I see
Sometimes I can't stand the world all around me
Sometimes I don't mind at all
Sometimes I get so sick and tired of trying I know I am just gonna fall
The harder I try the more disappointed I am when the world is laughing and pointing
I try to breathe deep but my chest just gets tighter
The world is made up of lovers and fighters
I've been losing too much sleep these days
Thank god the doctor gave me these pills
They help me chase away all my terrible thoughts
Cause life gets too real
These days it just seems that I find myself driving in circles with nowhere to go
The twist and the turns of these small town backroads give me hope
The harder I try the more disappointed I am when the world is laughing and pointing
I try to breathe deep but my chest just gets tighter
The world is made up of lovers and fighters
I've been losing too much sleep these days
Thank god the doctor gave me these pills
They help me chase away all my terrible thoughts
Cause life gets too real
Life gets too real
Love gets too real
I've been losing too much sleep these days
Thank god the doctor gave me these pills
They help me chase away all my terrible thoughts
Cause life gets too real
