I still hope someday I’ll have a wife and kids
Smiling faces running to the door when I walk in
Saying “Daddy’s home, you were gone too long. What’d you bring me? Swing me. Let me show you what I did”
I still dream about that look on a woman’s face
That says I love you through the good, the bad, the sunshine or the rain
Sometimes I wish I had someone to share my life with
Maybe I’ll have a wife and kids
Maybe someday….

Maybe I could have a son
Play football in the backyard
Or take my daughter fishin’, and when she turns 15 teach her how to drive a car
When I grow old and they’ve all left home
I want to lay beside my wife and talk about the old times, remember all the good times.

I still hope someday I’ll have a wife and kids
Smiling faces running to the door when I walk in
Saying “Daddy’s home, you were gone too long. What’d you bring me? Swing me. Let me show you what I did”
I still dream about that look on a woman’s face
That says I love you through the good, the bad, the sunshine or the rain
Sometimes I wish I had someone to share my life with
Maybe I’ll have a wife and kids
Maybe someday….

Sometimes I wish I had someone to share my life with
Maybe I’ll have a wife and kids
Someday…
I’ll have a wife and kids
Maybe someday…

Could I get your name again?
Some situation that we’re in
Woke up by each other’s side
Got a little crazy last night

Last thing I remember I told the bartender
Mix rum and whatever you have
First one drink then two
Then I woke up with you so I
Know things can’t be all that bad
But it’s still a little hazy
Got a little crazy last night

Are these your shoes that I have on?
Is this your bed, is this your home?
All I know is it’s not mine
Got a little crazy last night

Last thing I remember I told the bartender
Mix rum and whatever you have
First one drink then two
Then I woke up with you so I
Know things can’t be all that bad
But it’s still a little hazy
Got a little crazy last night

I think I feel a fresh tattoo
What is it of I wish I knew
Couldn’t get more out of sight
Got a little crazy last night

Last thing I remember I told the bartender
Mix rum and whatever you have
First one drink then two
Then I woke up with you so I
Know things can’t be all that bad
But it’s still a little hazy
Sounds a little shady
I think she might have payed me but
Got a little crazy last night

Got a little crazy
Got a little crazy

She’s dancin’ for the groceries
She’s dancin’ for the rent
She’s dancin’ for the credit card
That she’s already spent
In sequins and in laces
She’s dancin’ for the braces
So her kids can have a perfect smile someday
Smiling while she dances
Is the price she has to pay

They tell her in this job there is no future
So get it while you can ’cause looks don’t last
There’s money in those pockets for the taking
And if you do it right, it makes the time go fast
The music’s loud, the drinks are mostly water
What her name is tonight, she can’t recall
The business men stare at the single mother
Who’s smiling while she’s staring at the wall

She’s dancin’ for the groceries
She’s dancin’ for the rent
She’s dancin’ for the credit card
That she’s already spent
In sequins and in laces
She’s dancin’ for the braces
So her kids can have a prefect smile someday
Smiling while she dances
Is the price she has to pay

Someday she’ll have a house out in the country
Someday she’ll see the other side of dawn
And no one will ever know
what it was she did before
But she just heard the DJ say, ‘you’re on’
And the lights come up
And they play her song

She’s dancin’ for the groceries
She’s dancin’ for the rent
She’s dancin’ for the credit cards
That she’s already spent
In sequins and in laces
She’s dancin’ for the braces
So her kids can have a perfect smile someday
Smiling while she dances
Smiling while she dances
Is the price she has to pay

She’s dancing for the groceries . . .
Is the price she has to pay . . . .

Ooo . . .

Dancing for the groceries . . .
Is the price she has to pay . . . .

She’s dancing for the groceries.

I looked up, there she stood
I say, didn’t look so great, i say you look good
aww she took her hand ran it up my thigh
and said, cowboy you ready for the wild ride

come on now junior take a wild ride (wild ride)
see can you make it on the wild ride (wild ride)
don’t try no shakin’ on the wild ride (wild ride)
things start breakin’ on the wild ride (wild ride)
yes it does

out on the highway, i saw my mind
in tiny little pieces blown from side to side
my heart was shattered along with my pride
guess you can’t keep ‘em on the wild ride

come on now junior take a wild ride (wild ride)
see can you make it on the wild ride (wild ride)
don’t try no shakin’ on the wild ride (wild ride)
things start breakin’ on the wild ride (wild ride)
yeah it does

i was crawling cross the floor, i was tryin’ to leave
when i felt something tugging what was left of my sleeve
i heard a little voice with a gold plated vibe
say i bought a ticket for the wild ride

come on now junior take a wild ride (wild ride)
see can you make it on the wild ride (wild ride)
don’t try no shakin’ on the wild ride (wild ride)
we just might break it on the wild ride (wild ride)

come on now junior take a wild ride (wild ride)
see can you make it on the wild ride (wild ride)
don’t try no shakin’ on the wild ride (wild ride)
we just might break it on the wild ride (wild ride)

running, always ready
feel as strong and steady
but you scare me

took a long walk after midnight
trying to make sense of it all
tried to catch a glimpse of my old life
but your face was all i saw

blue eyes staring through me
baby, what are you doing to me
you (never felt this before, it’s all brand new to me, never known anyone) scare me
you (i’m doing what i said i would never do, too late to stop it now) scare me

knowing there’s no turning back
knowing I don’t want to

baby you (never felt this before, it’s all brand new to me, never known anyone) scare me
you (i’m doing what i said i would never do, too late to stop it now) scare me
scare me
scare me
baby you scare me
scare me

Skeletons in closets
Ghosts underneath the bed
They hide out in pictures
And words better left unsaid
They hang around like perfume
And haunt me like an ancient melody
When I’m not chasing demons,
There’s demons chasing me

There’s things that I can’t leave alone
‘Cause they won’t leave me alone
What I want ain’t what I need
Still I reach for the things I crave
Then try to run away
Am I afraid of being free
‘Cause when I’m not chasing demons
There’s demons chasing me

So roll one up and light it
Pick up my old guitar
I’m playing crossroads
Drinking whiskey from a mason jar
Heartache at my front door
Says she needs my company
When I’m not chasing demons
There’s demons chasing me

There’s things that I can’t leave alone
‘Cause they won’t leave me alone
What I want ain’t what I need
Still I reach for the things I crave
Then try to run away
Am I afraid of being free
‘Cause when I’m not chasing demons
There’s demons chasing me

When I’m not chasing demons
There’s demons chasing me

Demons chasing me(repeats)

What I need to do is turn this car around
Drive as fast as I can ’til I see the lights of our hometown
And run to her, take her in my arms
Make her see how sorry I am, well that shouldn’t be so hard
But I drive on, and on, and on

Eighty-seven more miles gets me into Baton Rogue
There’s a buddy of mine who says he might find some work that I can do
Or maybe head up north to Knoxville, Tennessee
I know my baby sister, has got a couch where I can sleep
Now the sun’s goin’ down on my broken heart
Lord, I gotta get back before I get too far

What I need to do is turn this car around
Drive as fast as I can ’til I see the lights of our hometown
And run to her, take her in my arms
Make her see how sorry I am, well that shouldn’t be so hard
But I drive on
Yes I drive on, and on, and on

Knowin’ what I need to do
Girl, I’m comin’ home to you

Knowin’ what I need to do
Girl I’m comin’ home to you
I’m comin’ home to you
Knowin’ what I need to do

[Chorus:]
Cause when the sun goes down, we’ll be groovin
When the sun goes down, we’ll be feelin all right
When the sun sinks down over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down

All day long just takin it easy
Layin in the hammock where it’s nice and breezy
Sleepin off the night before
Cause when the sun goes down, we’ll be back for more

[Chorus:]
When the sun goes down, we’ll be groovin
When the sun goes down,we’ll be feeling alright
When the sun sinks down over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down

This old guitar and my dark sunglasses
This sweet concoction is smooth as molasses
Nothing to do but breathe all day
Until the big moon rises and it’s time to play

[Repeat chorus]

You can lie on a river bank,
paint your name on a water tank
or Miscount all the beers you drank,
Back where I come from

[Chorus]

Back where I come from
Where I’ll be when its said and done
I’m proud as anyone
That’s where I come from

We learned in the Sunday school,
who made the sun shine through
I know who made the moon shine too,
Back where I come from

Blue eyes on a Saturday night,
tan legs in the broad daylight
TV’s they were black and white,
Back where I come from

[Chorus]

Back where I come from
Where I’ll be when its said and done
I’m proud as anyone
That’s where I come from

Some say it’s a backward place,
narrow minds on a narrow wage
But I make it a point to say,
that’s where I come from

[Chorus]

That’s where I come from
Where I’ll be when its said and done
I’m proud as anyone
That’s where I come from

Back where I come from
I’m an old Tennessean
Well Im proud as anyone

That’s where I come from

That’s where I come from

That’s where I come from

That’s where I come from
