Little White Church

(Little Big Town)

You've been singing that same old song
Far too long, far too long
Say you'll buy me a shiny ring
But your words don't mean a thing
No more calling me baby
No more loving like crazy

Till you take me down (take me down)
You better take me down (take me down)
Take me down to the little white church
Take me down (take me down) take me down (take me down)
Take me down to the little white church
Take me down

You can't ride this gravy train
Anymore, anyway
There's a price for keeping me
I might be cheap, but I ain't free
No more calling me baby
No more loving like crazy

Till you take me down (take me down)
You better take me down (take me down)
Take me down to the little white church
Take me down (take me down) take me down (take me down)
Take me down to the little white church
Take me down

Come on

Charming devil, silver tongue
Had your fun, now you're done
Mama warned me 'bout your games
She don't like you anyway

No more calling me baby
No more loving like crazy
No more chicken and gravy
Ain't gonna have your baby

Till you take me down (take me down)
You better take me down (take me down)
Take me down to the little white church
Take me down (take me down)
You better take me down (take me down)
Take me down to the little white church
Take me down to the little white church (take me down)
Take me down (take me down to the little white church)
Take me down (take me down)
You better take me down (you better take me down)
Take me down to the little white church
Take me down (take me down)
You better take me down (take me down)
Take me down to the little white church
Take me down (take me down)
You better take me down (take me down)
Take me down to the little white church
Take me down to the little white church, take me down to the little white church

Don't Water Down My Whiskey

(Alex Roe)

Baby, I ain't easy
But I'm the spark inside your gun
You might think I'm crazy
You ain't the only one

I'm gasoline sittin' on a powder keg
You gonna strike a match, you gonna start a flame
Right now
Baby I ain't ever gonna change

[Chorus]
Don't water down my whiskey
Baby, can't you see that I'm 100 proof?
I'm a shotgun cocked back
'68 flashback
Yeah, don't water down my whiskey
Baby, you can't stop this train from pushin' through
I ain't got no regrets
What you see is what you get
Don't water down my whiskey

Now, I ain't no demon
But I know how to raise some hell
That firestorm you're feelin'
I ain't nothin' like you've ever felt

I'm Tennessee strong and I'm shootin' straight
And if you know jack, you know I ain't no slave
And all I got left to say

> Don't water down my whiskey
Baby, can't you see that I'm 100 proof?
I'm a shotgun cocked back
'68 flashback
Yeah, don't water down my whiskey
Baby, you can't stop this train from pushin' through
I ain't got no regrets
What you see is what you get
Don't water down my whiskey

Like whiskey in your cup
Baby, I'm straight-up
Like whiskey in your cup
Baby, I'm straight-up
Like whiskey in your cup
Yeah, baby, I'm straight-up
Like whiskey in your cup
Baby, I'm straight-up

Don't water down my whiskey
Baby, can't you see that I'm 100 proof?
I'm a shotgun cocked back
'68 flashback
Yeah, don't water down my whiskey
Baby, you can't stop this train from pushin' through
I ain't got no regrets
What you see is what you get
Don't water down my whiskey
Don't water down my whiskey
Don't water it down, baby
Don't water it down
Don't water down my whiskey

Enough

(Alex Roe)

Sitting in the dark all night fighting shadows
And the urge to call you up hits me like an arrow
It ain't the whisky talking or the loneliness I'm feeling
Its the memories all the little things that keep me from heeling
I give up all the days I got left on this earth
Cause without you I don't know what they're worth, no

I'd give it all for you if you'd let me
This heart don't have a home without you in it no
I'd stand before you as a man who's been broken
Truer words never spoken

Is that enough
Is that enough
For your love

The flame I keep inside
Burns through rainy nights
Even though I tried to put it out
So many times

Cookbooks on the table
So I can get some advice
When I can't rest my heavy head
Cause I'm still lost in your eyes
I give up all the days I got left on this Earth
Cause without you I don't know what they're worth

And I'd give it all for you if you'd let me
This heart don't have a home without you in it no
And I'd stand before you as a man who's been broken
Truer words never spoken no

Is that enough
Is that enough
For your love

I'd give it all for you if you'd let me
This heart don't have a home without you in it no
I'd stand before you as a man who's been broken
Truer words never spoken no

Is that enough
Is that enough
Is that enough
Is that enough
For your love

Can't Tame A Fire

(Dan Tyminski)

I can talk my way out of trouble with a smoke and a smile
But she dealt me a handful and played along for awhile
But when I woke up to goodbye, coffee black with pain !
She left me she found me half empty again
I ran for a remedy, whatever fit the bill and I followed the script closely whiskey, women, and pills
Still the heart ache lingers on as I run myself down
Cause you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out!
Chorse
Sometimes there ain't better way around, everyone got something to say to how to make the flame go down, but there all the same as me in secret filled with doubt, cause you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out!! Mmmhmmmmm!

And here I am living backwards chained to the past, days spent running through memories and old photographs and all the colors and majestic, pale yellow and blues, I've gotta let em all go to forget about you!

Chorse *1

Whoooo, hooooop!! Whoooooo hooooo

But there all the same as me in secret filled with doubt, oh you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out!

No you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out whhooohoo! *2

Can't Go Back

(Little Big Town)

Some things you can't go back to
Some things need left alone
Don't mess with the memories of a life passed on
All the tumbling reservations, at the heart of my mistakes
Oh, some things you can't go back to
'Cause you let them slip away

I don't wanna be a witness
To a path that's overgrown
I don't wanna see this house not be a home
'Cause time has taken control of, what we couldn't see
No I don't wanna be a witness
To the end of you and me

How am I gonna make each moment,
Better than the last
How am I gonna make it better if I can't go back

Oh the tumbling reservations, at the heart of my mistakes
Oh, some things you can't go back to
'Cause you left them slip away
Oh, some things you can't go back to.

Back From Gone

(Josh Turner)

Gone from the eyes that were everything
Gone from those loving arms
Gone from the hands that prayed for me
And I'm gone with a guilty heart

And I'm driving through the desert wind
aAd the thought of you still humbling
My heart of mine, keep battling,
What could of been, what should  of been,
I'm here, with my hands on the wheels,
all alone,
And the further I get, the more you're moving on

Endless mile after mile of those broken white lines
Know this ain't where my heart belongs
Til I'm on my way back from gone.

Wore out that record we danced to that night
Every song, every word, every rhyme 
Oh, I got all those memories still locked up inside
Weighing heavy on my heart tonight

And I'm driving through the desert wind
And the thought of you still humbling
I know I want to turn around,
But I wonder if you'd listen now

I'm here,  with my hands on the wheel
all alone, 
and the further I get the more you're moving on

Endless mile after mile of those broken white lines
Know this ain't where my heart belongs
So I'm on my way back from gone.

Playing this game cost me everything
All that's left is the debt I owe
And I know you've been paying the price for me
Can't buy back all the years with gold

Endless mile after mile of those broken white lines
Know this ain't where my heart belongs
So I'm on my way back from gone.

Yeah, I'm on my way back from gone

Yeah, I'm on my way back from gone-

Who Needs Mexico

(Mason James)

Got a couple lounge chairs here
in my back yard
and I'm stuck down in my bed
my own long dark haired pretty señorita
chillin' with me right here

Speak a little Espanol to me baby,
come and whisper in my ear,
Ah mi amor esta noche
Yeah, we're going to be fine right here

Who needs Mexico?
Hell its just too far to go?
We can make our own nachos
Jalapeños and Don Julios

Blow up a couple fake palm trees
Get em swaying over you and me
We got it made in the shade, you know
So who needs Mexico?

I know I don't Baby

Got my early shorts on and my kool-aid bands
my feet are in the kiddy pool
We can drink a while here and still feel fine
Baby don't you think that's cool?
Got a mariachi band on the stereo,
Couple Christmas lights strung in the tree,
Got a fan turned up all the way to ten
A little scintillated ocean breeze.

Who needs Mexico?
Hell its just too far to go?
We can make our own tacos
with habaneros and Don Julios

Blow up a couple fake palm trees
Get em swaying over you and me
We got it made in the shade, you know
So who needs Mexico?

I'm down in Tijuana with my little enchilada
Start shaking them maracas in my face like chihuahua
I'm south of the border in our bedroom
She gets it hotter in there than in old Cancun

Who needs Mexico?
Hell its just too far to go?
We can make our own nachos
with guacamole and Don Julios

If a siesta is what we need
We can climb in that old hammock swing
Get it moving to and fro
So who needs Mexico

Sitting here in my old Ponto
Wearing my sombrero
Just as long as it don't snow
Who needs Mexico?

Not me, baby
We got it all right here.
I'll take another margarita, girl.

Haha, I love you Baby.

Silver And Gold

(Little Big Town)

Hangin' out with the scarecrow blues
On the other side of being used
The whine and the whistle of a passing train
Sounds so heavy when it says your name

Baby, when you're down, baby, when you're way down
Lost your shine and your feet are cold
You don't have to stay down, you don't have to stay down
You're like silver, you're like gold
You're like silver, you're like gold

Wind caught up in the weather vane
Soaked to the bone from a summer rain
I'll be right here to see you through
The dust, and the rust, and the scarecrow blues

Baby, when you're down, baby, when you're way down
Lost your shine and your feet are cold
You don't have to stay down, you don't have to stay down
You're like silver, you're like gold
You're like silver, you're like gold

Baby, when you're down, baby, when you're way down
Lost your shine and your feet are cold
You don't have to stay down, you don't have to stay down
You're like silver, you're like gold
You're like silver, you're like gold

Wings Of An Angel

(Lauren Alaina)

Does your halo grow heavy
Hanging over your head
Boy you've held my heart steady
Since the first day we met

Every time I lose my way
Only you can bring me back
'Cause your will just don't break
You keep this train on its tracks

Under the wings of an angel
Where my weary heart can sleep
I can close my eyes without thinking twice4
'Cause my soul's been set free

Under the wings of an angel
Heaven comes to me
The pearly gates are open wide
To eternity

As the years have grown longer
The shelves are full of dust
And our love is now stronger
Than the two of us

And the memories on the wall
The colors faded away
I could relive them all
Till my dying day

Under the wings of an angel
Where my weary heart can sleep
I can close my eyes without thinking twice4
'Cause my soul's been set free

Under the wings of an angel
Heaven comes to me
The pearly gates are open wide
To eternity

Yeah the pearly gates are open wide
To eternity
When the nights are growing colder
We can just stay right here
You take the weight off my shoulders
You make the world disappear

Under the wings of an angel
Where my weary heart can sleep
I can close my eyes without thinking twice
'Cause my soul's been set free

Under the wings of an angel
Heaven comes to me
The pearly gates are open wide
To eternity
I said the pearly gates are open wide
To eternity

Live Forever

(Little Big Town)

You roll through life like a rolling fire
I bring the rain like a thunderstorm
Yeah we found peace on a battlefield
It all makes sense in love and war
It all makes sense in love and war

You and me
Wild as a willow in a hurricane
Strong enough to stand in stormy weather
We might be
Crazy enough to make history
Cause the world just isn't the same since we got together
And if we don't die young, we might just live forever

There are kings and queens upon their thrones
That have a love like you and me
Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall
But love is last eternally
But love is last eternally

You and me
Wild as a willow in a hurricane
Strong enough to stand in stormy weather
We might be
Crazy enough to make history
'Cause the world just isn't the same since we got together
And if we don't die young, we might just live forever

They might sing us in a song
Or write our names up in the sky
Even when it's carved in stone
A love like ours goes on and on
A love like ours goes on and on

You and me
Wild as a willow in a hurricane
Strong enough to stand in stormy weather
We might be
Crazy enough to make history
'Cause the world just isn't the same since we got together
And if we don't die young, we might just live forever

You roll through life like a rolling fire
I bring the rain like a thunderstorm

Little Red Wagon

(Miranda Lambert)

You only love me for my big sun glasses
And my Tony Lomas
And my Dodge Dart classic
You said "I'll be Johhny and you be June
And I'll ride with you to the moon"
But guess what?

You can't ride in my little red wagon
The front seat's broken and the axel's dragin'
You can't step to this backyard swagger
You know it ain't my fault when I'm walkin' jaws droppin' like
Ooh, ah, ooh, ah

Oh, heaven help me
I've been sewing wildflower seeds
And chasing tumble weeds
But that's just who I be
And you're just trying to slow this rolling stone
But I'm on to you baby
So guess what?

You can't ride in my little red wagon
The front seat's broken and the axel's dragin'
No you can't step to this backyard swagger
You know it ain't my fault when I'm walkin' jaws droppin' like
Ooh, ah, ooh, ah

Oh, you only love me for my big sun glasses
And my Tony Lomas
I live in Oklahoma
And I've got long, blonde hair
And I play guitar, and I go on the road
And I do all the shit you wanna do
And my dog does tricks
And I ain't about drama, ya'll
I love my apron
But I ain't your mama!
So guess what?

You can't ride in my little red wagon
The front seat's broken and the axel's dragin'
No you can't step to this backyard swagger
You know it ain't my fault when I'm walkin' jaws droppin' like
Ooh, ahh, ooh, ahh, ooh yeah, ooh ha

Slowing Down

(Travis Tritt)

Here comes your tattoos slowly fading
The breaks upon your heart are leaving scars
The battles for your freedom you’ve been winning
They bought you time but they’re costing you the war

Slowing down
It don’t come easy
When running hard beens flowing through your blood
You said goodbye so many times
Its lost its meaning
And memories are all thats left to love

Oh, believe me
Slowing Down
It don’t come easy

The wasted years of love in motel rooms
Your boots under another strangers bed
Waking in the morning way too soon
Yeah, leaving you's as lonely as it gets

Slowing down
It don’t come easy
When running hard beens flowing through your blood
You said goodbye so many times
Its lost its meaning
And memories are all thats left to love

Oh, believe me
Slowing down
It don’t come easy

You just can’t stop the clock from turning back the time
But for her heart and soul
Its worth trying

Slowing down
It don’t come easy
When running hards been flowing through your blood
You said goodbye so many times
Its lost its meaning
And memories are all thats left to love

Oh, believe me
Slowing down
Oh, believe me
Slowing Down
It don’t come easy

Wild And Free

(Destin Bennett)

Stars at our backs
Wind in your hair
We’re rolling fast, don’t matter where,
On this blacktop chasing down the sun
You and me, we were born to run, 
Never slowing down, 
We ain’t stopping now, 

Wild and free, wild and free,
May we always be, wild and free

We’re holding tight, right in our hands,
Let’s make this last, long as we can
Lay your pretty head right on my chest
We can take it breath by breath
We don’t need to know, 
Where tomorrow goes

Wild and free, wild and free,
May we always be, wild and free

Wild and free, wild and free,
May we always be, wild and free

Oh-oh-oh
Mmm
Oh-oh-oh

On this blacktop chasing down the sun
You and me we were born to run
Never slowing down, we ain’t stopping now

Wild and free, wild and free,
May we always be, wild and free

Wild and free, oh, wild and free,
Yeah, we can finally be
Wild and free

We will always be, wild and free

Solid Ground

(Brett Boyett)

This Hell that I feel
It's like a runaway train
There ain't nowhere to hide
Nowhere to bury this pain

I'm sinking into the darkness
It's quicksand pulling me down
Gonna take more than I got 
left in these hands
to get me to solid ground

God I tried religion
But my souls been running on empty
All these years of sin
Guess that they're catching up to me

I'm sinking into the darkness
It's quicksand pulling me down
Gonna take more than I got 
left in these hands
to get me to solid ground

Have mercy, can't go this heart aching
I'm looking to find a way out

Gonna take more than I got 
left in these hands
to get me to solid ground

Smokin' And Cryin’

(Alex Roe)

Sittin' waitin' tables while she's sittin' waitin' for him to show
What her name or story was, maybe I'll never know
She ain't tryin' to hide what's goin' on inside, and I know I've been there before
Waitin' for somebody at the only place you'll see them anymore

Well, she's hidin' out there in her car, smokin' and cryin'
She don't have to go too far to figure out that she's dyin'
Thinks her cigarette'll make it better, but she's just lyin'
To herself about gettin' him back, she's still tryin'
Nothin's ever gonna change but the time, man, it's flyin'
While she's smokin' and cryin'

She sees him pull up in his old truck with a brand-new girl
I saw her face as she walked into the place, and it wrecked her world
I tried to go outside and give her my best advice and tell her it would be okay
But I just drank my coffee, and then I went on my way

Now she's hidin' out there in her car, still smokin' and cryin'
She don't have to go too far to figure out that she's dyin'
Thinks her cigarette'll make it better, but she's just lyin'
To herself about gettin' him back, she's tryin'
Nothin's ever gonna change but the time, man, it's flyin'
She's smokin' and cryin'

Finally Home

(Ryder Fortson)

Seen it all
Endless nights and storm clouds brewing
A tired heart
18 wheels, asphalt moving.
I felt the hurt along the way
Seen the tears roll down her face
Nothing could ever take her place
Out there on the road so alone

Home, finally home
Sometimes it's hard to stop a rolling stone
But wherever it may roll
It always seems to find its way back home

Early sun rising
In and out of hotel rooms
Highways winding
another town to push on through
Painted memories in my mind
They got me through hard days and the longer nights
But now I'm turning back the tide
I didn't realize how far I'd gone

Home, finally home
Sometimes it's hard to be a rolling stone
But wherever I may roll
I always seem to find my way back home

Endless nights
That emptiness lasted forever
When all I wanted was for all of us to be together

Home, finally home
Sometimes it's hard to stop a rolling stone
But wherever it may roll
It always seems to find its way back home
It always seems to find its way back home
I always seem to find my way back... home

Always And Forever

(Canaan Smith)

Still can't forget the first kiss
The taste of your lips
After three glasses of wine
Still feel the brush of your skin
Sneaking your hand into mine
I've been around the rock
Yes I've seen a lot
And the only thing that hasn't changed is the way my heart beats faster when you cross my mind
Turn up the lights
Tear down the stage
I know it all just goes away
And if it does
Baby, I won't lose no sleep
All that I want
All that I need
Is just to know you'll be at the center of my world
Always and Forever my girl
I thought I could keep my head down
Let it fade out
But you keep pulling me back
You got a way about you
Attracted me like a magnet
I've been around the rock
Yes I've seen a lot
And the only thing that hasn't changed is the way that your voice echoes through my mind like that
Turn up the lights
Tear down the stage
I know it all just goes away
And if it does
Baby, I won't lose no sleep
All that I want
All that I need
Is just to know you'll be at the center of my world
Always and Forever my girl
It's like nothing else matters
Except for us to ever after
It's like nothing else matters
Except for us to ever after
Turn up the lights
Tear down the stage
I know it all just goes away
And if it does
Baby, I won't lose no sleep
All that I want
All that I need
Is just to know you'll be at the center of my world
Always and Forever my girl
Forever my girl
Always, always my girl
Forever my girl

Enough (Reprise)

(Lauren Alaina & Phillip Sweet)

Sitting in the dark all night fighting shadows
And the urge to call you up hits me like an arrow
It ain't the whisky talking or the loneliness I'm feeling
Its the memories all the little things that keep me from heeling
I give up all the days I got left on this earth
Cause without you I don't know what they're worth

I'd give it all for you if you'd let me
This heart don't have a home without you in it no
I'd stand before you as a man who's been broken
Truer words never spoken

Is that enough
Is that enough
For your love

The flame I keep inside
Burns through rainy nights
I've been watching sands fall through the glass
And I'll keep waiting here for you till every grain has passed

Give it all the days I got left on this Earth
All I got left
I give up all the days I got left on this Earth
Cause without you I don't know what they're worth

I'd give it all for you if you'd let me
This heart don't have a home without you in it no
I'd stand before you as someone who's been broken
Truer words never spoken

Is that enough
Is that enough
For your love

I'd give it all for you if you'd let me
Oh-
I'd stand before you as someone who's been broken
Truer words never spoken no

Is that enough
Is that enough
Is that enough
Is that enough
Is that enough
For your love

For your love
