1.Something Better

作詞:Nick Diamond, Matthew Fleener, Ryan Fleener, Jeffrey
Middleton

The sun is comin' up
I gotta drag my butt out of bed
My phone is ringin', boss is screamin'
'Where the hell you at?'

I grab a cup of coffee
Tell him it won't be too long
But he don't know I'm waitin'
On something better to come along

There's gotta be something better than nine to five
Every day barely gettin' by
Workin', slavin', always achin'
Way too young for my back to be breakin'
Waitin' on that rainbow
Tell me where's that pot of gold?

Everyone is laughin' from a distance
When they see me clockin' in
Well, they'll all be here in twenty years
Cussin' 'bout the same old things

They stay late like a slave
And wake up at the break of dawn
They don't know I'm waitin'
For something better to come along

There's gotta be something better than nine to five
Every day barely gettin' by
Workin', slavin', always achin'
Way too young for my back to be breakin'
Waitin' on that rainbow
Tell me where's that pot of gold?

There's gotta be something better than nine to five
Every day barely gettin' by
Workin', slavin', always achin'
Way too young for my back to be breakin'
Waitin' on that rainbow
Tell me where's that pot of gold?

Well, I take her out on Friday
'Cause my baby likes to paint the town
The way she treats her man
Makes me think about settlin' down
(Aw, son)

I told her that I love her, she said let's just hold on
Man, I think she's waitin' on
Something better to come along
Yeah, hear she comes
Ah, let's go


2.Hurt Somebody

Well, you ain't that old but you ain't that young
You live a life but you ain't quite done
All eyes on you everywhere you go
Yeah, it's all good till you get too close

Girl, you're gonna hurt somebody
Make somebody bleed
Yeah, you're gonna hurt somebody
God, I hope it's me

There's an innocence there this time of night
Is it in your words, is it in your eyes?
And your red lipstick like a smoking gun
It could be aimed at anyone

Girl, you're gonna hurt somebody
Make somebody bleed
Yeah, you're gonna hurt somebody
God, I hope it's me

There's a simple truth to the morning sun
Things don't change, they just light up
A frontier mind and a restless heart
Girl, you can't change the way you are

Yeah, you're gonna hurt somebody
Make somebody bleed
Yeah, you're gonna hurt somebody
God, I hope it's me

Girl, you're gonna hurt somebody
Make somebody bleed
Yeah, you're gonna hurt somebody
And God, I hope it's me


3.Sun Goes Down

Thirteen cigarettes, seven empty beer can
Sitting on the hood, watching all the planes land
I was tired of talking so we try to steal a bait
She said, 'I ain't saying no but at least we ought to wait'

Until the sun goes down
'Til the sun goes down
Until that sun goes down, goes down
Yeah

Sitting at that stop light, had to roll the window down
I flipped a finger at a fellow from the school across town
He said, 'You better bring every friend you've got
We're gonna settle this tonight in the parking lot'

When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
When that sun goes down, goes down

Lots of girls, lots of fight
I blame it all on the reckless nights
Things don't always work out like you plan
But there's always a second chance
When the sun goes down

Yeah, I'm out with Tiffany, I'm headed to the liquor store
But I'm going out like a bullet from a gun
'Cause you gonna die old if you don't live young

When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
When that sun goes down, goes down
Yeah

Ah, when the sun goes down, ah
Thirteen cigarettes, seven empty beer can
When the sun goes down
Yeah


4.Married Men & Motel Rooms

Blue lights outside
Yellow tape on Room. 32
The starlight on Highway 9
It's back on the evening news

There's a gold pen on the night stand
Gun smoke and cheap perfume
Ain't nothing good has ever come from
Married man and motel rooms

There's holes in the door, holes in the walls
Holes in the mattress and the pillows too
Whoever held that windmaker
Didn't stop till the job was through

There's a gold pen on the night stand
Gun smoke and cheap perfume
Ain't nothing good has ever come from
Married man and motel rooms

Blue lights across town
A quite street and a big old house
Missing Lexus on the highway
Doing 90 and headed south

There's a gold pen on the night stand
Gun smoke and cheap perfume
Ain't nothing good has ever come from
Married man and motel rooms
Oh no, ain't nothing good has ever come from
Married man and motel rooms

Yeah


5.This Is My Blood

This is my house, this is my heaven
This is my land, this is my living
This is my wife, these are my children
This is my blood

Well, these are my boots, this is my tractor
And these are my hands, this is my hammer
This is my sweat, this is what matters
This is my blood

It's my life that you're looking at
When you're passing by
It might not look like much to you
But in these eyes of mine

This is my church, this is my Jesus
This is my strength, this is my weakness
This is my flag, this is my freedom
This is my blood, yeah

It's my life that you're looking at
When you're passing by
It might not look like much to you
But in these eyes of mine

This is my church, this is my Jesus
This is my strength, this is my weakness
This is my flag, this is my freedom
This is my blood

This is my house, this is my heaven
This is my land, this is my living
This is my wife, these are my children
This is my blood

Well, this is my life, this is what matters
This is my blood


6.Name On My Shirt

My old man, pick me up
Every day at half past four
I'd hide behind that old school
Waiting on his flat Bedford

I'd climb up in that cab
With someone I didn't wanna be

The true blue collared man
Putting in my time at work
Years written on my hands
A blessing and a curse

Everyday looking older
Covered up in grease and dirt
Whole world upon my shoulders
With my name on my shirt

Touching clocks, raising kids
It's all there is in all this times
Turned eighteen, turned my back
Packed my bags and headed out

Then I didn't think I could
To make sure I'd never be

The true blue collared man
Putting in my time at work
Years written on my hands
A blessing and a curse

Everyday looking older
Covered up in grease and dirt
Whole world upon my shoulders
With my name on my shirt

You get older and you see things differently
All that matters now is working for my family
I wonder if they'd be proud
If they could see me now

The true blue collared man
Putting in my time at work
Years written on my hands
A blessing and a curse

Everyday looking older
Covered up in grease and dirt
Whole world upon my shoulders
With my name on my shirt

I got my name on my shirt
My name on my shirt
Name on my shirt


7.Always A Reason

Word on the vine is Johnny got a job
Three days a week at the auto part shop
Come 5 o'clock when he gets paid
Guess we got another reason to celebrate

Joe and Mary, they were meant to be
Supposed to get married and live happily
But she slept with his buddy and broke his heart
Now they're all headed out to separate bars

Some are coming to dance, some are coming to fight
Any day of the week could be a Saturday night
Might be having a ball, may be shedding some tears
There's always a reason to drink around here

I had myself a rough 24, told the boss where to go
And he showed me the door
I hit the gas hauling asphalt
Guess I'm gonna take the afternoon off

Some are coming to dance, some are coming to fight
Any day of the week could be a Saturday night
Might be having a ball, may be shedding some tears
There's always a reason to drink around here

Days go by, the world spins around
Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down
Life is going your way or it just ain't fair
There's always a reason to drink around here

Some are coming to dance, some are coming to fight
Any day of the week could be a Saturday night
Might be having a ball, may be shedding some tears
There's always a reason to drink around here
There's always a reason to drink around here
There's always a reason to drink around here

Word on the vine is Johnny got a job
Three days a week at the auto part shop


8.I'll Shut Up Now

Hey

Price of gas, price of bread
Every good politician is dead
Wrong sleep number on my bed
Me and bad things running through my head
I'll shut up now

Construction signs on the road
Guess I'm gonna take a long way home
Pot-hole hitter with the A.C blown
Don't make cars like my daddy own
I'll shut up now, I'll shut up now

It's just a point of view
Kinda like the evening news

Well, pay checks short, the work too long
Radio plays the same ten songs
I need a beer that's good and strong
And a woman who likes to get it on
I'll shut up now

Barry got juiced and the rocket did too
Little leaguers watching everything they do
Kids growing up way too fast
Needle in the arm, needle in the ass
I'll shut up now, I'll shut up now

If I Photoshop my face
Would you put me on your Facebook page?

Well, Jesus and Krishna had a fight
Said the people are bad but the gospel's right
Luda and Pope just formed a band
But they're looking for a drummer with a good left hand
I'll shut up now

Willie and the band just got caught
Two miles south of Omaha
When the DEA opened that lock
For there's nothing in the back book

On the road again
I just can't wait to get on the road again
My wife I love is making music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again

Yeah, well, babies are born, hooked on drugs
Rich girls cover their face with mud
Choir boys are playing five o'clock stud
Money is worth more than blood
I'll shut up now

Motorcycle gangs, the doctors and shrinks
Water is brown and the air, it stinks
John Hancock is disappearing in it
I'll shut up now, I'll shut up now

If I'm boring you to death
Well, I'm almost done, almost out of breathe

'Cause my voice is sharp, the strings are dead
No one's heard a word I said
Guess I'll stop this rambling mess
I'll shut up now, I'll shut up now
I'll shut up now, I'll shut up now

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, yeah, hey
Yeah


9.There She Goes

That girl, she just left like a hurricane
He was standing in the pouring rain
Screaming out her first name

Well you know, you should've seen it coming from a mile away
But you didn't hear the wind change
Until you felt your heart break
And now it's way to late

('Cause there she goes)
Pedal mashed down, painted red toes
Sunglasses on, headed south down a dirt road

(There she goes)
Bye-bye, back to the wind
She's gone, baby, gone
You'll never see her again

(Yeah, there she goes)
You ain't nothing but a 'used-to-be'
Another memory

There she goes

Hey, man, go on and get another ice cold
Pour it down in your soul
And find a way to let her go

'Cause you know, times run out on making moves
And now you're feeling like a fool
'Cause she ain't coming back to you
There's nothing you can do

('Cause there she goes)
Pedal mashed down, painted red toes
Sunglasses on, headed south down a dirt road

(There she goes)
Bye-bye, back to the wind
She's gone, baby, gone
You'll never see her again

(Yeah, there she goes)
You ain't nothing but a 'used-to-be'
Another memory

There she goes

Pedal mashed down, painted red toes
Sunglasses on, headed south down a dirt road

Bye-bye, back to the wind
She's gone, baby, gone
You'll never see her again

You ain't nothing but a 'used-to-be'
Another memory

There she goes
Oh, yeah, yeah

Bye-bye, back to the wind
Gone, baby, gone

Yeah, there she goes
Never see her again

Yeah, there she goes

That girl, she just left like a hurricane
He was standing in the pouring rain
Screaming out her first name


10.It Takes A Man

Well, she was sitting alone in the booth in the corner
And I know the look of a lonely woman
Me being full of liquid courage
I walked on over to lend her a shoulder

Well, it didn't take long for her to heed right up
She told me a story of love and bad luck
As I opened the passenger door to my truck
I said, 'I hope you don't mind that I speak my mind'

It takes a man to get a man off your mind
Let me take a chance
You'll understand you gotta give it time
It takes a man to get a man off your mind

Well, we rode every back road on my Silverado
The brown paper bag holding booze from a bottle
Got a tear in her eyes when she heard their songs
On the radio, so I held her close

She wasn't looking for love, she only want some company
Gave me a chance and I hit the ground running
I made her laugh, she said, 'I think it funny'
I said, 'Moe, nobody love you like a poor man, honey'

It takes a man to get a man off your mind
Let me take a chance
You'll understand you gotta give it time
It takes a man to get a man off your mind
Oh, baby

It takes a man to get a man off your mind
Baby, take a chance
You'll understand you gotta give it time
It takes a man to get a man off your
Man, to get a man off your
Man, to get a man off your mind
