Born Country
Well I was raised in a small farming town
And I’m proud, to say I’m still around
Just a country boy, livin’ a simple life
On a backroad, with my kids and wife
I wake up every day and go to work
Hammering nails and shovelling some dirt
Got scars on my hands that match the scuffs on my boots
It ain’t hard to tell, my collar is blue
I was born country
Calloused hands, dirt on my boots
I was born country
And that’s how I’ll always be
Well, I was raised the old-fashioned way
Work hard every day just to get my pay
Come Friday night, I break out my guitar
And I play it in all the local bars
You can bet I’ll be playing the classic tunes
Like Hank, Merle, and George and Alan too
Come Monday morning I pour myself a cup
And I head back to work in my pickup truck
I was born country
Calloused hands, dirt on my boots
I was born country
And that’s how I’ll always be
I was born country
Calloused hands, dirt on my boots
I was born country
And that’s how I’ll…
I was born country
Quiet fields to the old maple trees
I was born country
And that’s where, yeah that’s where I’ll always be
Where I’ll always be
Lucky Man
Well the sun’s shining bright
On a Sunday afternoon
I see my little man out there
Playing in the yard
With a stick in his hands
And dirt on his boots
He’s trying to be a cowboy
Tryin’ to follow his roots
In the heart of the woods
On his little John Deere tractor
Each day’s a new adventure
He’s growing up so fast
Man he’s just like me
In his own little way
He may think I’m Superman
But he’s the best part of who I am
I’m a lucky man
He looks up to me
With those wide-open eyes
He says dad can I help you
Or please dad can I drive
No fancy controllers
No time for shiny screens
Just a heart full of hope
And a cowboy full of dreams
Man he’s just like me
In his own little way
He may think I’m Superman
But he’s the best part of who I am
I’m a lucky man
Man he’s just like me
In his own little way
I hope someday he understands
That he’s the best part of who I am
I’m a lucky man
I’m a lucky man
I’m a lucky Dad
My Little Girl
Little girl
How can I explain
What I feel inside
When I look in your eyes
Little girl
There’s this empty space
Only you can fill
With just a little smile
Little girl
All those up all nights
Making sure your safe
Tightly in my arms
Little girl
It won’t last too long
You’ll grow so fast
And some day
You’ll be standing on your own
Yeah every choice you make
And every step you take
Every dream you chase
I’ll be there for you
And every time you fall
If someone breaks your heart
I’ll be there
With a shoulder to lean on
My little girl
My little girl
I won’t last too long
You’ll grow so fast
And some day
You’ll be standing on your own
Yeah every choice you make
And every step you take
Every dream you chase
I’ll be there for you
And every time you fall
If someone breaks your heart
I’ll be there
With a shoulder to lean on
No I can’t promise to be there
For the rest of your life
But I can promise
To love you
For the rest of mine
My little girl
We've Got Something
We were just two kids
Who fell in love
Right then and there
Not knowing what it was
We were taking our time
Goin’ day by day
And not knowing what
This whole life would bring
Many years have gone by
Ain’t no words can describe
Mmmm we’re one of a kind
We’ve got something
People can’t touch
We’ve got something
They can’t steal
We’ve got something that’s twice as much
As anything there’s ever been
Mmmm we’ve got something
So grab a bottle of wine
Something’s on my mind
You and me tonight
We’ll let the sparks fly high
Turn the lights down low
We’ll take it real real slow
Just follow my lead
And I’ll show what I mean
They say love is something we say
I’m telling you it’s something we do
Mmmm baby let me love you
We’ve got something
People can’t touch
We’ve got something
They can’t steal
We’ve got something that’s twice as much
As anything there’s ever been
Mmmm we’ve got something
We’ve got something
People can’t touch
We’ve got something
They can’t steal
We’ve got something that’s twice as much
As anything there’s ever been
Mmmm we’ve got something
Mmmm we’ve got something
That Old Maple Tree
Underneath, that old maple tree
Side by side, two brothers in mischief
I still remember the grin on our faces
As he stood there with his brown hat in disbelief
He said come here boy and listen close
I’m gonna tell you something I don’t tell most
This ain’t right and you know it too
You’re breaking things you can’t undo
Here’s something that I want you to know
Stand up tall and be a better man
Right your wrongs, while you still can
You can build your life, with your own two hands
That’s what he told me, that’s what he told me
Underneath that old Maple tree
I’m all grown up now, kids of my own
Doin my best to raise them the right way
I pass down stories, the words he would say
He’s been gone now for so many years
And every time I lose my way
I hear his voice like it was yesterday
Sayin’ son the world can pull you down
But don’t forget your stompin’ ground
When it’s hard to see, think back to that old tree
And stand up tall and be a better man
Right your wrongs, while you still can
You can build your life, with your own two hands
That’s what he told me, yeah that’s what he told me
Stand up tall and be a better man
Right your wrongs, while you still can
You can build your life, with your own two hands
I still remember my grand-daddy’s speech
Underneath that old maple tree
I’ll always remember my grand-daddy’s speech
Underneath that old maple tree
She's My Girl
She wears them cowgirl boots
With her tight-fitting jeans
A little bit of makeup
A little bit of curls
Yeah she’s my brown eyed girl
She ain’t the kind to let you down
No she’s the one that’ll pick you up
And get you off ground
She’ll go the extra mile
Try everything she can just to make you smile
She’s my girl, my whole world
She’s the anchor to my ship sailing on the open water
She’s my girl, my everything
She took my name and made it her’s
She’s my girl
After all these years together
She still reaches right there to my heart
She gave me love for life, kids I love
Yeah everything I’ve ever dreamed about
She’s my girl, my whole world
She’s the anchor to my ship sailing on the open water
She’s my girl, my everything
She took my name and made it her’s
Yeah she’s my girl
My whole world spins around her
I feel at home anywhere together
I wanna grow old beside her
She’s the answer to my prayers
She’s my girl, my whole world
She’s the anchor to my ship sailing on the open water
She’s my girl, my everything
She took my name and made it her’s
Yeah she’s my girl
She’s my girl
My everything
She’s got me wrapped around her finger
She’s my girl
She’s the one who keeps me going
Chasin’ all my dreams
Oh, Oh, Oh
She’s my girl
Small Town Country Night
Backroad bonfire, lighting up the night with all our friends
Raise our cups up high, toasting to good time that never ends
The night is young, and the stars are bright, we’re gonna forget about life for a while
C’mon get in the truck, and come with me girl
We’ll drink some beer, shoot some whiskey and have some fun
Maybe two-step to some good ole’ Brooks and Dunn
Life’s too short to stay at home alone
Let’s get together and sing our favorite country songs
We’re having a small town, small town country night
We got a few guitars, our tailgates down and crickets singing in the background
The moon is high and shining bright, we might be drinking here ‘till the morning light
Dance to a little bit of Boot Scootin’ Boogie
Or maybe Jackson’s Chattahoochee, leave our troubles behind
And have a damn good time
We’ll drink some beer, shoot some whiskey and have some fun
Maybe two step to some good ole’ Brooks and Dunn
Life’s too short to stay at home alone
Let’s get together and sing our favorite country songs
We’re having a small town, small town country night
Ah come on!
Yeah we’ll drink some beer, shoot some whiskey and have some fun
Maybe two step to some good ole’ Brooks and Dunn
Life’s too short to stay at home alone
Let’s get together and sing our favorite country songs
We’re having a small town, small town country night
Yeah we’re having a small town
I come from a small town
We’re having a small town country night, tonight
