Got a baby girl sleepin’ in my bedroom
And her momma laughing in my arms
There’s a sound of rain on the rooftop
And the game’s about to start
I don’t really know how I got here
But I’m so glad that I did
And it’s crazy to think that one little thing
Could have changed all of this

Maybe it didn’t turn out like I planned
Maybe that’s why I’m such, such a lucky man

Chorus:
Every stoplight I didn’t make
Every chance I did or I didn’t take
All the nights I went too far
All the girls that broke my heart
All the doors that I had to close
All the things I knew but I didn’t know
Thank God for all I missed
‘Cause it led me here to this

Like the girl that I loved in high school
Who said she could do better
Or the college I wanted to go to
Till I got that letter
All the fights and the tears and the heartache
I thought I’d never get through
And the moment I almost gave up
All led me here to you
I didn’t understand it way back when
But sittin’ here right now
It all makes perfect sense

Repeat Chorus

Oh I cried when my momma passed away
And now I got an angel
Looking out for me today
So nothing’s a mistake

Repeat Chorus

It led me here to this

I woke up again this morning
And wouldn’t you know it, pouring rain
I went and burned a pot of coffee
And like us I poured it down the drain

Chorus:
‘Cause I didn’t know I needed you so
And letting you go was wrong
And baby I know you got your radio on
So this is my my bad, come back song

I know I’ve said I wouldn’t miss you
But now I’m saying I’m a fool
You’re on the feel good side of leaving
And I’m the backside of a mule

And I didn’t know I needed you so
And letting you go was wrong
And baby I know you got your radio on
So this is my so sad come back song

And now I’m laying down without you
In this king size empty bed
And I wish I had my arms around you
But I’ll just dream of you instead

‘Cause I didn’t know I needed you so
And letting you go was wrong
And baby I know you got your radio on
So this is my get back, come back

Hey, I didn’t know I needed you so
And letting you go and letting you go was wrong
And baby I know you got your radio on
So this is my my bad, come back, song

Oh yeah yeah

I know I said I wouldn’t miss you
I said I wouldn’t miss you girl, yeah

Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na

We all sang na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na, yeah

Come on now
So this is my get back, come back, song

I’ll chase the kids around the yard all afternoon
Put away the dishes so she don’t have to
Fix the screen door on the porch
Like I said I’d do

Tell her I don’t know how you do it, baby, when I’m gone
Dance her ’round the kitchen to a George Strait song
Sneak a kiss on the back of the neck
Like we were alone
And if I’m right on the money
You know I might get lucky

Chorus:
There’s a window of opportunity between
When the kids are tucked in
And a half glass of Chardonnay
She knows what I’m thinking
Reads me like a book
But the key to get a second look
And a come here honey
Is treat her right in the daylight
And I might get lucky

Well, I work out on the road
And it wears us thin
She wonders when I’m leaving
Even when I’m walking in

So we set aside time
To get to know each other again
And if I play my cards right
I know it sounds kind of funny
But I might get lucky

Repeat Chorus

Someday she might wake up and see
She’s way out of my league
But then again maybe she won’t
You know I might get lucky, yeah

Repeat Chorus

I might get lucky
I might get lucky
I might get lucky

Always there when my world starts closing in
Something to hold no matter how long it’s been
Gets me high then knocks me to the ground
Soothes my mind and then begins to break me down

Chorus:
Whiskey and you
Ain’t nothing I can do
But come crawling back to
Whiskey and you

I never asked you to love me
I never begged you to stay
But I never want you to leave me
I wouldn’t have it any other way

Repeat Chorus

As darkness finds the candle
And the flame stops flickering
Girl I know and I hope
It won’t be too long ’til we light it up again

Repeat Chorus

Whiskey and you
There ain’t nothing, there ain’t nothing I can do
But I keep crawling, I keep coming back to
Whiskey and you

I was up in New York City
Just the other week
You should’ve seen the waitress face
When I ordered sweet tea
She said, “We don’t have that here”
And I apologized
I said, “Please forgive me
I’m in a southern state of mind”

And those girls out in California
They don’t understand
They don’t like it when I hold the door
Or when I say yes ma’am

They act like I’ve done something wrong
And they give me the evil eye
I say, “Honey, I’m sorry
I’m in a southern state of mind”

I could be anywhere
In my heart I’m always there
Where they drink sweet tea
And they raise you to be polite
No changin’ who I am
That’s the way I’ve always been
No matter what state I’m in
I’m in a southern state of mind

I’m always walkin’ ’round
Tellin’ everybody hi
Just a wavin’ at the strangers
In the cars passin’ by

Some people may look at me
And say that boy just ain’t right
Hey, y’all, I ain’t crazy
I’m in a southern state of mind

I could be anywhere
In my heart I’m always there
Where you know everybody
If you don’t then you’re still polite
No changin’ who I am
That’s the way I’ve always been
No matter what state I’m in
I’m in a southern state of mind

You can see it in the clothes I wear
You can hear it when I talk
Ball cap, boots and jeans
And a little southern drawl

I could be up in Ohio
Or back home in Caroline
No matter what state I’m in
I’m in a southern state of mind
Don’t matter what state I’m in
I’m in a southern state of mind

Yeah, alright
A southern state of mind
Come on, come on, oh

The second I saw you
What was important wasn’t important no more
Love will do that
Love will do that

Made the ole moon burn brighter, led to all-nighters
Made sleeping a thing of the past
Love will do that
Love will do that

Chorus:
It changes everything
Makes the angels sing
Puts the past in the past
It’ll drive you crazy
Sometimes it just makes you laugh
Yeah, love will do that

Turns minutes to hours
Days into years
Gets time to moving so fast
Love will do that

It makes you move mountains or not an inch
Life’s good right where we’re at
Love will do that
Love will do that

Repeat Chorus

It’ll give you a sunset and an old rockin’ chair
A hand to hold while you’re looking back
Love will do that
Love will do that

Repeat Chorus

Oh, I know, I know, I know, love will do that
Love will do that

Way back when she did a hundred and ten
In her dad’s old Chevrolet
And she once climbed, way up high
To paint her name on a water tank

She’s got that little red rose
On her big toe, tattooed in Myrtle Beach
Went to Mardi Gras with the mother-in-law
Got a suitcase full of beads

She’s walked on fire
And jumped out of planes for fun
But loving me is the craziest thing
That she’s ever done

Chorus:
She’s living on faith
I’m chasing my dreams
I fly and fall
Till I unravel at the seams
She never played it safe
Never walked when she could run
But loving me is the craziest thing
That she’s ever done

Left the bright lights drove down 95
To a sleepy southern town
Gave up a sweet gig to have a couple kids
Chasing her around

All her friends roll their eyes and grin
When she says that I’m the one
They say loving me is the craziest thing
That she’s ever done

Repeat Chorus

She likes walking on a tightrope
Dancing on a ledge
But she knows I’ll catch her
If she falls off the edge

Repeat Chorus

Yeah, loving me is the wildest thing
That she’s ever done

Written by Darius Rucker, Clay Mills and Frank Rogers

I’d never leave the perfect girl
Or rip apart the perfect world
Just up and leave in the middle of a song

I’d never pack my things in a Silverado
Drive on out to Colorado
Just to find some freedom I thought was gone
Ooh, there are things I’d never do

Chorus:
But here I am in this hotel room
Thinking ’bout you and what I’ve done
Oh, what have I done?
Head in my hands, thinking about a lot of things
I wish that I could change
It’s sad but it’s true
I’ve done a lot of things I’d never do

I’d never ever work so much
That I’d lose sight, I’d lose touch
Of everything a man could ever want
I’d never lose my cool and say
Those words that cut just like a blade
And leave you dying, crying all alone

Repeat Chorus

Oh, I’d never do

Here I am in this hotel room
Thinking ’bout you and what I’ve done
What have I done?

Head in my hands, thinking about a lot of things
I wish that I could change
It’s sad, sad but true
I’ve done a lot of things, a whole lot of things I’d never do

I’d never leave the perfect girl
Or rip apart the perfect world
Just up and leave in the middle of a song

What makes a man
Work till his kids get too old to kiss and hug
Keep on climbing that imaginary mountain
When is enough, enough
What makes a man build a kingdom
Only to lose his woman
How high is too high how big is too big
How far will we go just to slip off the edge

Chorus:
Yeah, we all fall down, life takes us out
The sky starts spinning
When our heads get above the clouds
The higher we fly the harder it feels
When we hit the ground
Yeah, we all fall down
Yeah, we all fall down

How does a man pick himself up
When he’s let himself down
Tell me where does he find the courage
To turn his world back around

Will he break down and cry like someone just died
What can he say about the man he used to be
When he can’t even speak though he’s dying to scream

Repeat Chorus

He’s the only one to blame
And the only one who knows
How low he must go
To win back his soul

Yeah, we all fall down
Yeah, we all fall down

Is 10 o’clock in the morning too early to drink beer?
I don’t know and I don’t care
When a girl walks by in a two piece, is it impolite to stare?
I don’t know and I don’t care

I don’t know what beach this is
I don’t know what day this is
I don’t know if I packed enough clothes to wear
And I don’t care

Hey, man, do you think those are real
Or do you think they’re fake?
You mean those, right there?
I don’t know and I don’t care

Do you want the blonde or the brunette
Or the one with the long, red hair?
I don’t know and I don’t care

I don’t know what her name is
I don’t know where she learned to kiss
I don’t know if that’s her boyfriend over there
And I don’t care

Is 4 o’clock in the morning too late to drink beer?
I don’t know, but you know what? I don’t care

I don’t know the last time I ate
I don’t know how I’m still awake
I don’t know how long a man can live on beer

Man, I don’t know where I left my phone
I don’t know when we’re goin’ home
I don’t know if I’ve still got a job up there
And I don’t care, I don’t care
I don’t know and I don’t care

Have you ever seen
A prairie wind make a wave
On a wheat field
Bringing needed rain

Have you ever seen
A mama stop a baby’s cry
With just the touch
And a whisper of his name
When she looks at me
That’s what I see

Chorus:
She’s beautiful like that
Like a winter rose, snow on the ground
I was blessed the day I found her
I’m one lucky man
‘Cause the more I know, the more I need her
The more I love, the more I see
Her heart is a shining star
She’s beautiful like that

Have you ever seen
A purple sky, sun coming up
Bringing new life
To everything it shines on

Have you ever seen
A couple after fifty years
Laughing and holding hands
Still going strong

Well, the reason why
I’ll love her ’til the day I die

Repeat Chorus

The sound of a church bell
The road that leads back home
An unspoken promise
You’ll never be alone

Repeat Chorus

She’s beautiful like that
She’s beautiful like that

It’s my third cup of coffee
The fifth time I said I’m sorry
The sun slowly peakin’ through the glasses
Says we’ve been up all night

We both know where this is going
It’s been a long time coming
Is it really over?
Is this really goodbye?
Maybe I should say something
Maybe you’d change your mind
Maybe, maybe
Buy a little more time

Chorus:
But I got nothing
No magic words
To stop your leaving
To end this hurt
I’m just blank
I’m staring into space
Prayin’ please, please let me think of something
‘Cause I got nothing

I watch you pack your things
You look down at your ring
Slowly slip it off and then
You lay it on our bed

Maybe I should pick it up
And get down on my knees
Tell you what you wanna hear
And give you what you need

Repeat Chorus

You’re almost at the door
And you stop and turn around
Your eyes are begging me
Please say something right now

But I got nothing
No magic words
To stop your leaving
And I can’t end this hurt
I’m just blank
I’m staring into space
Praying please, please let me think of something
‘Cause if you go
I got nothin’

I signed up to see this world
Through the windows of buses and planes
Ever since they called my number
I’ve been living in the fast lane

Yeah, it’s a dream come true
I’m a lucky man
And I love this roll I’m on
But I do run out of gas
Can only run so fast so long ‘till

Chorus:
I need some front porch rockin’
Some back road walkin’
Some sittin’ ’round talkin’ ’bout nothin’
I need some screen door slammin’
Some home made jam and
Some biscuits cookin’ in the oven
I need a little fun with my little ones
A little gospel on Sunday
I need some hangin’ ’round my little town
In a big way

I may wake in the mornin’ in Dallas
I went to bed in Tennessee
Need someone tellin’ me where I am sometimes
And where I’m supposed to be

Sometimes I wanna be George Jones
Sometimes Charlie Pride
But all I want to be right now
Is with my baby tonight ‘cause

Repeat Chorus

Oh, in a big way

You know I can’t complain
(I can’t complain)
I love this crazy dream but

Repeat Chorus

In a big way

I need some front porch rockin’
I need some back road walkin’
I need some sittin’ around talkin’ about nothin’
About nothin’, really nothin’ at all
Oh yeah

She sits alone by a lamp post
Tryin’ to find the thought that’s escaped her mind
She says, “Dad’s the one I love the most
But Stipe’s not far behind.”

She never lets me in, only tells me where she’s been
When she’s had too much to drink
I say that I don’t care, I just run my hands through her dark hair
Then I pray to God you gotta help me fly away

Chorus:
And just let her cry if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing if it eases all her pain
Let her go, let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be, let her be

This morning I woke up alone, found a note standing by the phone
Sayin’, “Maybe, maybe I’ll be back someday.”
I wanted to look for you
You walked in, I didn’t know just what I should do
So I sat back down and had a beer and felt sorry for myself

Chorus:
Sayin’ let her cry if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing if it eases all her pain
Let her go, let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be, let her be
No, no, no, no

Chorus:
Let her cry let her cry if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing if it eases all her pain
Let her go, let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be, ah

Last night I tried to leave, cried so much I could not believe
She was the same girl I fell in love with long ago
She went in the back to get high
I sat down on my couch and cried, yellin’
“Oh, mama, please help me.”
Won’t you hold my hand and

Chorus:
Let her cry if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing if it eases all her pain
Let her go, let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be

Let her cry, if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing, if it eases all her pain
Let her go, let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be
Ah, let her be

Country music singers
Have always been a real close family
But lately some of my kinfolk
Have disowned a few others and me

I guess it’s because
I kinda changed my direction
And Lord, I guess I went
And broke their family tradition
They get on me want to know

Hank, why do you drink?
Hank, why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out
The songs that you wrote?
Over and over
Everybody met my prediction
So if I get stoned I’m just carryin’
On an old family tradition

I am very proud
Of my daddy’s name
Although his kind of music
And mine ain’t exactly the same

Stop and think it over
Put yourself in my position
If I get stoned and sing all night long
It’s a family tradition

So don’t ask me
Hank, why do you drink?
Hank, why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out
The songs that you wrote?

If I’m down in a honky tonk
Some old slicks trying to give me friction
I say leave me alone I’m singin’ all night long
It’s a family tradition

Lordy, I have loved some ladies
And I have loved Jim Beam
And they both tried to kill me in 1973

When my doctor asked me
“Son, how’d you get in this condition?”
I said “Hey sawbones, I’m just carryin’ on
An old family tradition”

So don’t ask me
Hank, why do you drink?
Hank why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out
The songs that you wrote?
Stop and think it over
Try to put yourself in my unique position
If I get stoned and sing all night long
It’s a family tradition
