What Makes You Country (2017)

    What Makes You Country

    People talkin' ’bout what is and what ain’t country
    What gives ’em a right to wear a pair of beat-up boots?
    Is it the size of your tires and your fires, or your wild ass buddies?
    Well, give me a minute, let me hit you with some hometown truth

    You could be a cowboy on the Texas plain
    Or a plowboy waitin’ on the rain
    We’re all a little different, but we’re all the same
    Everybody doin' their own thing

    I got my dirt road cred when I was twelve
    On a no cab tractor hauling them bales
    Backing in boats, fishing limb lines
    Running bird dogs through the Georgia pines
    Step side cover down in peanut dust
    Friday night spotlight, and that was us
    It might not've been you, but I can't judge
    Just be proud of what makes you country

    Does it run in your blood?
    Did it come from your daddy and mama?
    Were you converted by an Alabama song on the radio?
    That feels so right
    Did you lock eyes with a little green eyed girl from Jackson?
    Tell me what got ya, I just gotta know

    Me, I got my Sunday learning in a Live Oak Church
    Silver Queen corn in a backyard dirt
    Waiting for the fall to finally come along
    So I can grab my gun and get my outside on
    Step side cover down in peanut dust
    Friday night spotlight, and that was us
    It might not've been you, but I can't judge
    Just be proud of what makes you country

    Might be from a city or a little farm town
    Whatever kind of square that you drove around
    Do you wear in on your sleeve or keep it deep down?
    You know you gotta let it out

    I got my dirt road cred back when I was twelve
    On a no cab tractor hauling them bales
    Backing in boats, fishing limb lines
    Running bird dogs through them Georgia pines
    Step side cover down in peanut dust
    Friday night spotlight, and that was us
    It might not've been you, but I ain't judging
    And just be proud of what makes you country
    Whatever makes you country

    You do your kinda country
    They doing they kind of country
    I do my kind of country
    Whatever makes us country

    Out Of Nowhere

    It's just a regular Saturday night in the summer
    Same guys and girls and the same stars way up in the sky
    It's like the music stopped playing when I saw your body
    Did you come here with someone or come here to party tonight?

    My little light out of nowhere girl
    Where you been all my life?
    Where you been trying to hide?
    It's like you come
    Come from another world
    Fell right out of the sky
    And landed right here tonight
    Do you wanna dance with me?
    Anywhere you gotta be?
    Do you wanna go somewhere my little out of nowhere girl?
    My out of nowhere girl

    Girl are you lost? Are you just here in town for the weekend?
    All of my life I've been here, never seen you before
    If you need someone to show you around, girl I got you
    I gotta know you and hold you
    I don't wanna leave here alone anymore

    My little light out of nowhere girl
    Where you been all my life?
    Where you been trying to hide?
    It's like you come
    Come from another world
    Fell right out of the sky
    And landed right here tonight
    Do you wanna dance with me?
    Anywhere you gotta be?
    Do you wanna go somewhere my little out of nowhere girl?
    I just wanna talk to you
    Tell me what you wanna do
    Yeah we gotta go somewhere
    My little out of nowhere girl
    Yeah, yeah, yeah

    We could go anywhere you want
    Baby I got you
    You know I got you
    When you walked in this place, you turned it up
    Right when I saw you
    Baby I saw you

    My little light out of nowhere girl
    Where you been all my life?
    Where you been trying to hide?
    It's like you come
    Come from another world
    Fell right out of the sky
    And landed right here tonight
    Do you wanna dance with me?
    Anywhere you gotta be?
    Do you wanna go somewhere my little out of nowhere girl?
    I just wanna talk to you
    Tell me what you wanna do
    Yeah we gotta go somewhere
    My little out of nowhere girl
    My out of nowhere girl
    My out of nowhere girl
    Out of nowhere girl

    Light It Up

    I open my eyes, reach for the phone
    Not a word from you baby
    It don’t leave my sight since we had that fight
    Can’t remember but maybe
    I blew you up
    In the middle of the night again
    You were drinking with your friends
    You ignored it but you got it

    I get so neurotic about it baby
    ‘Cause I know you’re reading your phone
    I can’t help from going crazy
    Thinking you might not be all alone
    I wake up, I check it, I shower and I check it
    I feel the buzz in my truck
    And I almost wreck it
    I always got it on me
    Just in case you want me
    So, if you’re looking for my love
    Then light it up

    Every time I unlock my screen
    I hope I see one of them red lipstick ‘I miss you’ pictures
    I’m on your clock, you’re in control
    You want me now baby go figure
    My worlds at the tips of your fingers

    I get so neurotic about it baby
    ‘Cause I know you’re reading your phone
    I can’t help from going crazy
    Thinking you might not be all alone
    I wake up, I check it, I shower and I check it
    I feel the buzz in my truck
    And I almost wreck it
    I always got it on me
    Just in case you want me
    So, if you’re looking for my love
    Then light it up
    Yeah baby, then light it up

    I go to sleep, I check it In the middle of the night, I check it, I feel the buzz in my bed
    And I don’t get no rest
    I always got it on me
    Just in case you want me
    So, if you’re looking for my love
    Then light it up
    Yeah baby, light it up

    Most People Are Good

    I believe kids oughta stay kids as long as they can
    Turn off the screen, go climb a tree, get dirt on their hands
    I believe we gotta forgive and make amends
    'Cause nobody gets a second chance to make new old friends
    I believe in working hard for what you've got
    Even if it don't add up to a hell of a lot

    I believe most people are good
    And most mama's oughta qualify for sainthood
    I believe most Friday nights look better under neon or stadium lights
    I believe you love who you love
    Ain't nothing you should ever be ashamed of
    I believe this world ain't half as bad as it looks
    I believe most people are good

    I believe them streets of gold are worth the work
    But I still wanna go even if they were paved in dirt
    I believe that youth is spent well on the young
    'Cause wisdom in your teens would be a lot less fun
    I believe if you just go by the nightly news
    Your faith in all mankind would be the first thing you lose

    I believe most people are good
    And most mama's oughta qualify for sainthood
    I believe most Friday nights look better under neon or stadium lights
    I believe you love who you love
    Ain't nothing you should ever be ashamed of
    I believe this world ain't half as bad as it looks
    I believe most people are good

    I believe that days go slow and years go fast
    And every breath's a gift, the first one to the last

    I believe most people are good
    And most mama's oughta qualify for sainthood
    I believe most Friday nights look better under neon or stadium lights
    I believe you love who you love
    Ain't nothing you should ever be ashamed of
    I believe this world ain't half as bad as it looks
    I believe most people are good

    I believe most people are good
    I believe most people are good

    Sunrise, Sunburn, Sunset

    Your daddy had a lakehouse
    He had me paint in that summer sophomore year
    Said I could stay for free
    A couple buddies, a couple weeks
    You roll in in a little red Honda
    And headed straight for the pier
    Tank top and cutoff jeans
    A little PacSun underneath
    Who knew it was 'bout to be

    Sunrise, sunburn, sunset, repeat
    Moonlight, all night, crashing into me
    Nothing will ever be easy as you and me
    Tangled up with nowhere to be
    Just sunrise, sunburn, sunset, repeat
    Sunrise, sunburn, sunset, repeat, ayy

    I turned those shutters the color of your eyes
    'Til the day turned into night
    And took turns with a jar
    Turn that boat dock into a bar
    And then we passed the guitar around the fire to each other
    And watched all of our friends pair off with one another
    But we felt like the stars we were under
    And everybody knew that that was our summer

    Sunrise, sunburn, sunset, repeat
    Moonlight, all night, crashing into me
    Nothing will ever be easy as you and me
    Tangled up with nowhere to be
    Just sunrise, sunburn, sunset, repeat
    Yeah

    Whoa
    We set July on fire
    Whoa
    Yeah, girl, you and I were
    Sunrise, sunburn, sunset, repeat

    Sunrise, sunburn, sunset, repeat
    Moonlight, all night, crashing into me
    Nothing will ever be easy as you and me
    Tangled up with nowhere to be
    Just sunrise, sunburn, sunset, repeat
    Sunrise, sunburn, sunset, repeat
    Yeah

    Whoa
    We set July on fire
    Whoa
    Yeah, girl, you and I were
    Sunrise, sunburn, sunset, repeat
    Sunrise, sunburn, sunset, repeat

    Land Of A Million Songs

    You don't know why, you can't make it stop
    You were hooked with your daddy's hand-me-down flat top
    The first time that you made your first love cry
    And the words you wrote were running from her eyes
    Down on the paper, made you feel so alive
    So you packed up your pickup and crossed that Tennessee line

    You're always searching for a little something different to say
    And the Bible from a woman who's standing on the stage
    You get told you're fitting in, you get told you don't belong
    You drink too much in a smokey little bar downtown
    Stumble home when it's time to throw in the towel
    Wake up in the morning, look out, and the sunlight hurts
    Find your old guitar, write down another verse
    In the land of a million songs

    Oh oh oh
    Oh oh oh

    Everybody's got a story that needs to be sold
    And they pray someday they'll hang a little gold
    And ride back to their hometown with their head held high
    On any given day, there's a dream, there's a chance
    That lightning will strike at the end of a pen
    And all the leaving, and losing, will all be worth the fight

    So you're always searching for a little something different to say
    And the Bible from a woman who's standing on the stage
    You get told you're fitting in, you get told you don't belong
    You take that loan dot job just to pay the rent
    You learn a few things from them hard-working men
    You listen to 'em laugh and you listen to 'em curse
    You find your old guitar and write down another verse
    In the land of a million songs

    Some will come and some will go
    If you don't lay it all out there, you'll never know

    You're always searching for a little something different to say
    And the Bible from a woman who's standing on the stage
    You get told you're fitting in, you get told, boy, you don't belong
    You drink too much in a smokey little bar downtown
    Stumble home when it's time to throw in the towel
    Wake up in the morning, look out, and the sunlight hurts
    You find that old guitar and write down another verse
    In the land of a million songs
    Oh oh oh
    In the land of a million songs (oh oh oh)

    Like You Say You Do

    I watch you tell everyone
    That she is your only one
    But I see the other side
    Know all the things you try to hide
    Man, you put you up a real good front
    You thinking you've got everyone
    But you ain't got me fooled
    I see right through

    If you love her like you say you do
    Then why don't you love her like you say you do
    'Cause I wanna love her like you say you do
    If you ain't gonna treat her right
    Then don't make her lie awake another night
    Waitin' on another dream that just ain't comin' true
    If you ain't gonna love her like you say you do
    Then I wanna love her like you say you do

    Think you go as simple as you walk away
    There ain't too much you even gotta say
    You don't have to hurt her anymore
    It's just a turnin' of a door
    And don't you worry about bein' gone
    'Cause she won't want for nothing too long
    'Cause I see what you couldn't see
    And I wanna be what you wouldn't be

    If you love her like you say you do
    Then why don't you love her like you say you do
    'Cause I wanna love her like you say you do
    If you ain't gonna treat her right
    Then don't make her lie awake another night
    Waitin' on another dream that just ain't comin' true
    If you ain't gonna love her like you say you do
    Then I wanna love her like you say you do

    If you ain't gonna treat her right
    Then don't make her lie awake another night
    Waitin' on another dream that ain't comin' true
    If you ain't gonna love her like you say you do
    Then I wanna love her like you say you do
    No, no, no
    If you ain't gonna love her like you say you do
    Then I wanna love her like you say you do
    I wanna love her, I wanna love her, I wanna love her
    Like you say you do
    I wanna love her, I wanna love her
    Like you say you do

    Hooked On It

    First time I tied a plastic worm on and felt him on the other end
    It was get the net, get him in the boat
    Yeah buddy, I was hooked on it
    First time I heard Chattahoochee on the speakers of my radio
    I was topping off the tank on my old tune tone it
    I was hooked on it

    So many things where I grew up
    Once you get a little, you can't get enough
    This small town life runs through my blood
    And I'm hooked on it

    The first time I got that Gulf Coast white sugar sand on my feet
    Saw the sunshine dancing on that clear blue water
    I was hooked on it
    First time I pulled me a long neck bottle from the bottom of a bucket of ice
    As soon as that cold beer hit my lips
    I was hooked on it

    So many things where I grew up
    Once you get a little, you can't get enough
    This small town life runs through my blood
    And I'm hooked on it
    Come on
    Like a Friday payday honky tonk buzz
    I gotta have a little more of it just because
    I keep coming back to the good stuff, 'cause I'm hooked on it

    So many things where I grew up
    Once you get a little, you can't get enough
    This small town life's all in my blood
    And I'm hooked on it
    Yeah, I'm hooked on it
    I'm hooked on it

    She's A Hot One

    Running kind of late, got her makeup half on
    Touch it up good enough
    Oh, whatever
    All her girlfriends waiting outside on her
    They've been blowing up her phone
    Girl come on, get yourself together
    Got her hands up she's so ready with her driver on the way
    Skips the damn line, she ain't even gotta pay

    She starts feeling the buzz about shot one
    Hips starts swaying when the DJ drops one
    She's in against the law, call the cops wanted
    She might be a mess but she's a hot one
    With her little jeans and white t
    She might rev up an old boy's heart or even stop one
    Putting on a show tonight, letting go tonight
    She might be a mess, but she's a hot one

    She's dancing like every guy in here ain't watching her
    Do her thang, make it rain
    (God to mighty?)
    She's breaking necks, got them spilling beer
    Putting that bartender through a year or two of Junior college
    She's about to get the Dolce Vita's on the bar
    It's all but all over the minute she starts

    Feeling the buzz about shot one
    Hips starts swaying when the DJ drops one
    She's in against the law, call the cops wanted
    She might be a mess but she's a hot one
    With her little jeans and white t
    She might rev up an old boy's heart or even stop one
    Putting on a show tonight, letting go tonight
    She might be a mess, but she's a hot one

    Like the summer heat where she comes from
    She's burning me down
    Just look at her now
    Just look at her now
    (She's so hot)
    (She's so hot)
    (She's so hot)

    She starts feeling the buzz about shot one
    Hips starts swaying when the DJ drops one
    She's in against the law, call the cops one wanted
    She might be a mess but she's a hot one
    With her little jeans and white t
    She might rev up an old boy's heart or even stop one
    Putting on a show tonight, letting go tonight
    She might be a mess, but she's a hot one

    Hungover In A Hotel Room

    Hungover in a hotel room
    Cell phone's dead
    You're stretched out next to me
    Lost somewhere in a dark whiskey dream
    Hungover in a hotel room
    Call the concierge
    Two bloody mary's and some cigarettes
    So you can wake up to breakfast in bed
    Hear your voice in my head

    Hey, when you gonna come pick me up?
    You always say we're gonna burn it down
    If you want it baby, call me back
    Call me back, maybe we can hang out

    Then it was room 704, hang a sign on the door
    Gucci falling on the floor with the lights down low
    Dancing in the dark, body killing me
    Throwing off sparks
    Lay it back baby, anything goes
    Spent the whole night last night all messed up, making love
    Girl, I swear I've never felt this good
    Waking up hungover in a hotel room

    Slide the curtains back
    Light up the morning on the balcony
    Look at you stirring in the shadows and sheets
    Last night on repeat

    Hey, when you gonna come pick me up?
    You always say we're gonna burn it down
    If you want it baby, call me back
    Call me back, maybe we can hang out

    Then it was room 704, hang a sign on the door
    Gucci falling on the floor with the lights down low
    Dancing in the dark, body killing me
    Throwing off sparks
    Lay it back baby, anything goes
    Spent the whole night last night all messed up, making love
    Girl, I swear I've never felt this good
    Waking up hungover in a hotel room

    There's that smile driving me wild
    Call the front desk, late check out out request
    You know, better yet, book it for another night

    Room 704, hang a sign on the door
    Gucci falling on the floor with the lights down low
    Dancing in the dark, body killing me
    Throwing off sparks
    Lay it back baby, anything goes
    Spent the whole night last night all messed up, making love
    Girl, I swear I've never felt this good
    Waking up hungover in a hotel room
    Hungover in a hotel room
    Hungover in a hotel room

    Pick It Up

    I put a fishing rod by your bed
    Right next to a Bible
    I leaned a guitar in the corner of your room
    With some Milsap on vinyl
    I figured the best thing I could do
    Was put a thing or two
    And that it wouldn't hurt to have in your way, on your path

    Hoping you might pick it up one day
    And you might learn a couple pretty cool things
    That I love to do
    Then you can take it and spin it, and fit it to you
    I don't know what you gonna be
    But I hope you smile when you think of me
    'Cause I helped make you
    But I didn't never try to make you pick it up
    You just pick it up, pick it up

    Early to rise, headin' to work
    Open a door for a stranger
    Yes sir, yes madam, red dirt on my hands
    Showing you the best way I can

    So you might pick it up one day
    And you might learn a couple pretty cool things
    That I love to do
    Then you can take it and spin it, and fit it to you
    I don't know what you gonna be
    But I hope you smile when you think of me
    'Cause I helped make you
    But I didn't never try to make you pick it up
    Yeah, you just pick it up

    Dancing and kissing your Mama in the kitchen
    Treatin' her like a princess, hoping you might pick it up one day
    Hoping you might learn a couple pretty cool things
    That I love to do
    Then you can take it and spin it, and fit it to you
    I don't know what you gonna be
    But I hope you smile when you think of me
    'Cause I helped make you
    But I didn't never try to make you pick it up
    Yeah, you just pick it up, pick it up
    You just pick it up, pick it up, yeah

    I hope you pick it up

    Driving This Thing

    I know this town like the back of my hand
    Every back road, every turn road
    Baby, where you wanna go?
    Get you there with my eyes closed
    Just pick the spot, say the word
    Baby, what you got?
    It might be my Chevrolet, but tonight you're calling the shots

    We can go uptown, show out
    Spend every dime in my pocket
    We can hit the outskirts, red dirt
    Riding these roads like a rocket
    You can be my freeway DJ
    Just tell me where to point these lights
    Yeah, I might be the one behind the wheel
    But you're driving this thing tonight
    You're driving this thing tonight

    Been waiting all day just to see what you got on
    Is it your high heels, your blue jeans?
    Maybe that red dress, or climing up in your bare feet
    I'll put the pedal down, but baby, you got the keys

    We can go uptown, show out
    Spend every dime in my pocket
    We can hit the outskirts, red dirt
    Riding these roads like a rocket
    You can be my freeway DJ
    Just tell me where to point these lights
    Yeah, I might be the one behind the wheel
    But you're driving this thing tonight
    You're driving this thing tonight
    You're driving this thing tonight

    Just pick the spot, say the word
    Baby, what you got?
    It might be my Chevrolet, but tonight, you're calling the shots

    We can go uptown, show out
    Spend every dime in my pocket
    We can hit the outskirts, red dirt
    Riding these roads like a rocket

    Yeah, I might be the one behind the wheel
    But you're driving this thing tonight
    You're driving this thing tonight
    You're driving this thing tonight
    You're driving this thing tonight

    You're driving this thing tonight
    Just pick the spot, say the word
    Baby, what you got?
    It might be my Chevrolet, but tonight, you're calling the shots

    Win Life

    Ain't tryin' to be a hero
    Just tryin' to cash a paycheck
    ‘Til the clock hits zero
    Make the most of these days left
    Found a few shortcuts
    Picked up a couple secrets
    Don't have it figured out yet
    But I’ve learned the hard way

    It’s more drunk in love than habits kicked
    More miracles than magic tricks
    More green grass grows than green on dollar bills
    More babies raised than raisin' hell
    More get back up's than times you fell
    Well I don't know it all, hey but I know how it feels
    To be the guy that's tryin' to come back from behind
    Just tryin' to win life

    Been in a couple scrapes
    I barely got out of
    Got a couple scars
    I kinda ain't proud of
    But you can't be afraid to drive
    ‘Til the gas tank’s empty
    And if your glass is half full
    You better make damn sure it's whiskey

    And be more drunk in love than habits kicked
    More miracles than magic tricks
    More green grass grows than green on dollar bills
    More babies raised than raisin' hell
    More get back up's than times you fell
    Well, I don't know it all, hey but I know how it feels
    To be the guy that's tryin' to come back from behind
    Watchin’ those numbers on the scoreboard clock unwind
    Still tryin' to win life

    But if you lose yourself in someone else
    Then maybe you don't lose it all

    Just be more drunk in love than habits kicked
    More miracles than magic tricks
    More green grass grows than green on dollar bills
    More babies raised than raisin' hell
    More get back up's than times you fell
    Well I don't know it all, hey but I know how it feels
    To be the guy that's tryin' to come back from behind
    And that Hail Mary’s comin' down on the five yard line
    And I’m tryin' to win life
    Just tryin’ to win life
    I’ll be tryin’ to win life
