"Wide Open" (2009)



Wide Open lyrics - jason aldean

The corner cafe,
She scrapes some quarters off the table,
Says thanks yeah now maybe I'll be able,
To get that black Mercedes,
I've been saving for,
The other girls say,
You outta undue a couple buttons,
Start showing off a little something,
She says naw you go ahead,
Think I'd rather stay poor,
See I'm just making rent,
She said this ain't where my road ends

[Chorus]
This may not be my town,
It'll do for now,
Til I can figure out,
Who I am,
Where I'm going,
Shes slinging eggs and bacon,
With a college education
Just hanging out and waiting,
For a better plan,
Shes ok not knowing,
Shes young,
And the worlds wide open.

There's a rusty old ford,
Lives out back behind the diner,
Sitting there waiting on her to make her mind up,
It tends to sling a little gravel,
And take her who knows where,
Maybe head out west,
It's in Gods hands I guess.

[Chorus]

She throws down that apron,
Takes the money shes been making,
Her life's out there waiting,
Got a better plan,
That's where shes going,
Shes young,
And the worlds wide open.

This I Gotta See lyrics - jason aldean

I can't count the barns I've past
Painted red, white and black
See Rock city
And up ahead there's a turn
Take me right through Gatlinberg
I hear it's pretty

Maybe some other time
I can't slow down
Right across that state line
Right about now

Her hair's still wet from her bath
She's sittin' on the front porch
With a glass of iced tea
In my sweat shirt and her bare feet
This I gotta see

If I hurry I can catch
The colors on her skin from that sunset
And her face and that love waitin' on me
This I gotta see, this I gotta see

I can't wait to get to her
Man, I wish I were there already
She's the only thing that keeps
This world from drivin' me crazy

I just hit that city limit
Yeah and that a pretty good sign
If I pick it up a bit
I'll be right on time

Her hair's still wet from her bath
She's sittin' on the front porch
With a glass of iced tea
In my sweat shirt and her bare feet
This I gotta see

If I hurry I can catch
The colors on her skin from that sunset
And her face and that love waitin' on me
This I gotta see, this I gotta see, yeah

Her hair's still wet from her bath
She's sittin' on the front porch
With a glass of iced tea
In my sweat shirt and her bare feet
This I gotta see

If I hurry I can catch
The colors on her skin from that sunset
And her face and that love waitin' on me
This I gotta see, this I gotta see

Fast lyrics - jason aldean

Goodbye crack of dawn
Goodbye harvester
Goodbye hello baby
After a long hard day
Of plowing dirt

Goodbye way of life
Goodbye pass it down
Goodbye up all night
Of praying for rain
A two year drought
Walking on faith
And toughing it out

Hey, what's past is past
Oh, nothin' in this world lasts
Hey, aren't those four lanes fast?

Goodbye gravel road
Thanks for the ride
For watchin' over me
Remember the time

I rolled my truck
And you were there
When I woke up
You walked me home
Yeah, you lead me home

But hey, what's past is past
Oh, nothin' in this world lasts
Hey, aren't those four lanes fast?

Goodbye, tomorrow's another day
In no time it only moves one way
Away from yesterday
But memories never fade

What's past is past
Oh nothin', nothin' in this world lasts
Hey, aren't those four lanes fast?

Aren't they fast?
What's past is past
Aren't they fast?
Aren't they fast?

Crazy Town lyrics - jason aldean

Roll into town, step off the bus
Shake off the where, you came from dust
Grab you guitar, walk down the street
Sign says Nashville Tennessee
But I have found

It's a crazy town, full of neon dreams
Everybody plays, everybody sings
Hollywood with a touch of twang
To be a star you gotta bang, bang, bang

Bend those strings till the hank comes out
Make all the drunk girls scream and shout
We love it, we hate it, we're all just trying to make it
In this crazy town

Pay your dues and you play for free
And you pray for a honky tonk destiny
You cut your teeth in the smokey bars
And live off the tips from a pickle jar
'Til find a cool new sound and you smile
When the record man shoots you down

It's a crazy town, full of neon dreams
Everybody plays, everybody sings
Hollywood with a touch of twang
To be a star you gotta bang, bang, bang

Bend those strings till the hank comes out
Make all the drunk girls scream and shout
We love it, we hate it, we're all just trying to make it
In this crazy town

One year they repossess your truck
And the next you make a couple million bucks

It's a crazy town full of neon dreams
Everybody plays, everybody sings
Hollywood with a touch of twang
To be a star you gotta

Bend those strings till the hank comes out
Make all the drunk girls scream and shout
We love it, we hate it, we're all just trying to make it
We love it, we hate it, we all came here to make it
In this crazy town, it's a crazy town

Don't Give Up On Me lyrics - jason aldean

I don't to church enough
I curse out loud, I drink too much
I'm more of a sinner than a saint

Got a dusty Bible on my shelf
I just pick it up when I need help
Lord know there's a lot I need to change
And I want to, baby, you make me want to

You tie the knot
When I'm at the end of my rope
You never stop believin' in me
When I don't know who I am
Or what I'm supposed to be
I don't give you no good reason
But baby, don't give up on me

I've smoke my last cigarette
At least a hundred times I bet
I guess I'll just keep quittin' til' it sticks

But for all the things I've failed to do
I've never failed at lovin' you
We both know I can't grant your every wish
But I want to, baby, you make me want to

You tie the knot
When I'm at the end of my rope
You never stop believin' in me
When I don't know who I am
Or what I'm supposed to be
I don't give you no good reason
But baby, don't give up on me

You tie the knot
When I'm at the end of my rope
You never stop believin' in me
When I don't know who I am
Or what I'm supposed to be
I don't give you no good reason
But baby, don't give up on me

She's Country lyrics - jason aldean

You boys ever met a real country girl?
Talkin, true blue, out in the woods, down home, country girl

She's a hot little number in her pick-up truck
Daddy's sweet money done jacked it up
She's a party-all-nighter from South Carolina, a bad mamajama from down in Alabama
She's a raging cajun, a lunatic from Brunswick, juicy Georgia peach
With a thick southern drawl, sexy swing and walk, brother she's all

Country, (shoot) from her cowboy boots to her down home roots
She's country, from the songs she plays to the prayers she prays,
That's the way she was born and raised, she ain't afraid to stay, country
Brother she's country

A hell raisin sugar when the sun goes down, mama taught her how to rip up a town
Honey dripping honey from the hollerin Kentucky, getcha flippin kinda trippie like a Mississippi hippie,
She's a Kansas princess, crazy mother trucker, undercover lover
Thick southern drawl, sexy swing and walk,
Brother she's all

Country (shoot) from her cowboy boots to her down home roots
She's country, from the songs she plays to the prayers she prays,
That's the way she was born and raised, she ain't afraid to stay, country
Nothin but country

(Thick southern drawl)
(Sexy swing and walk)
(Aw show 'em how a country girl does it one time now)

Brother she's country, from her cowboy boots to her down home roots
Nothin but country
Yea yeayeaaa
She's country (shoot) from her cowboy boots to her down home roots
She's country, from the songs she plays to the prayers she prays,
That's the way she was born and raised she ain't afraid to stay, country
Yea she's nothing but country

She's all about the country
From the backwoods she's a homegrown, down to the bone, she's country

On My Highway lyrics - jason aldean

On my highway the yellow lines
Disappear from time to time
And I wound up on the wrong side of the road

On my highway I go too fast
Afraid that I might finish last
I hugged the curve too hard and lost control
Oh you never know which way it's gunna go

But what a feeling, chasing the sun
Living my life like a shot from a gun
Laughing a little bit more with every mile
Oh what a freedom racing the wind
Dying to know what's around the next bend
Smiling as I watch the years roll by
I'm learning how to take it day by day on my highway

On my highway I missed some signs
And left a damn good love behind
I see her in my rear view like a ghost

On my highway I've broken down
Cried when no one else was around
And prayed that God would save my soul
Yeah I've paid a lot of heavy tolls

But what a feeling, chasing the sun
Living my life like a shot from a gun
Laughing a little bit more with every mile
Oh what a freedom racing the wind
Dying to know what's around the the next bend
And smiling as I watch the years roll by
I'm learning how to take it day by day on my highway

Yeah, yeah
What a feeling out on the run
Drinking up the rain
Soaking up the sun
Laughing a little bit more with every mile
What a freedom, like a sail in the wind
Not looking back, not forgetting where I've been
Smiling as I watch the years roll by
And I'm moving on from my mistakes,
And I'm learning how to take it day by day...
On my highway.

Oh, yeah.

Keep The Girl lyrics - jason aldean

This life is full of choices
Hard to make one
All the voices in my head
Those blue eyes I'm in love with
Or that highway which ever I pick
There'll be regrets

I go one way I lose everything
I go the other way same thing

I'm torn and it's tearing me apart
I want to go but I don't want to break her heart
Like a sword with a double edge blade
It's gonna cut deep either way
This little town, that big old world
Chase the dream or keep the girl

More than once I packed it all up
But I break down blame it on the truck
Just couldn't go
Just wanna be out there making my mark
Lay down every night in her arms

I'm torn and it's tearing me apart
I want to go but I don't want to break her heart
Like a sword with a double edge blade
It's gonna cut deep either way
This little town, that big old world
Chase the dream or keep the girl

I don't know why I can't have it all
Need to tear down that wall
Between this little town, that big old world
Go chase my dream and keep the girl

I'm torn and it's tearing me apart
I want to go but I don't want to break her heart
Like a sword with a double edge blade
It's gonna cut deep either way
This little town, that big old world
Chase my dream and keep the girl

I want it all, keep the girl, hey

Big Green Tractor lyrics - jason aldean

She had a shiny little beamer with the ragtop down
sitting in the drive but she wouldn't get out
The dogs were all barking and a wagging around
And I just laughed and said yall get in
She had on a new dress and she curled her hair
She was looking to good not to go somewhere
Said what'cha wanna do baby I don't care
We can go to the show
we can stay right here
and I can take you for a ride on my big green tractor
we can go slow or make it go faster
down through the woods and out to the pasture
long as I'm with you it really don't matter
climb up in my lap and drive if you want to
girl you know you got me to hold on to
we can go to town or baby if you'd rather
I'll take you for a ride on my big green tractor
we can fire it up and I can show you around
sit up on the hill and watch the sun go down
when the fireflies are dancing and the moon comes out
we can turn on the lights and head back to the house
or we can take another ride on my big green tractor
we can go slow or make it go faster
down through the woods and out to the pasture
long as I'm with you it really don't matter
climb up in my lap and drive if you want to
girl you know you got me to hold on to
we can go to town baby if you'd rather
I'll take you for a ride on my big green tractor
Just let me dust of the seat
put your pretty little arms around me
You can climb up in my lap and drive if you want to
girl you know you got me to hold on to
we can go to town or baby if you'd rather
I'll take you for a ride on my big green tractor
We can go to town or we can go another round
On my big green tractor

The Truth lyrics - jason aldean

Tell 'em all I'm on vacation
Say I went to visit friends
That you ain't heard or seen from me in quite a while
When they ask you where I've been

Tell 'em I'm out on the West Coast
Where it don't ever rain
And that I'm probably doing fine

Just don't tell 'em I've gone crazy
That I'm still strung out over you
Tell 'em anythin' you want to
Just don't tell 'em all the truth
Yeah, don't tell 'em all the truth

Tell 'em all I'm out in Vegas
Blowin' every dollar I ever made
Tell 'em that I must be into somethin' bad for me
'Cause I sure lost a lot of weight

Tell 'em I'm out on the road
With some old rock and roll band
Living like a gypsy can

Just don't tell 'em I've gone crazy
That I'm still strung out over you
Tell 'em anythin' you want to
Just don't tell 'em all the truth
Yeah, don't tell 'em all the truth

The truth is that I'm askin' you to lie
And we both know that it ain't right
But if you ever loved me
Please have some mercy on me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Tell 'em anything you want to
Just don't tell 'em all the truth
Yeah, don't tell 'em all the truth
I still need you

Yeah, that's the truth
I still love you
Baby, that's the truth

Love Was Easy lyrics - jason aldean

It seems like money
Is always on our minds these days
Make more, spend more
Worry how the bills will get paid

Oh, it wasn't that long ago
But it seems so far away
When we didn't have a damn thing
But we were happy

And love was easy
Just layin' on a river bank
All night countin' the stars

Love was easy
As that feelin' we found
In the back seat of my car

Even in the dark
Love was easy
When we didn't make it so hard

Can you tell me
The last time we really laughed?
The last time we had a moment
When we hated that the moment passed

Here we are down the road
Standin' here lookin' back
Seein' what we used to have
Is what we're missin'

When love was easy
Just layin' on a river bank
All night countin' the stars

Love was easy
As that feelin' we found
In the back seat of my car

Even in the dark
Love was easy
When we didn't make it so hard
Yeah

Maybe that's how it is
Ah, maybe that's how it goes
But all I know

Is love was easy
Just layin' on a river bank
All night countin' the stars

Love was easy
As that feelin' we found
In the back seat of my car

Even in the dark
Love was easy
When we didn't make it so hard
When we didn't make it so hard

Love was easy, baby, yeah
When we didn't make it so hard

Johnny Cash lyrics - jason aldean

(Watch ya got)

Quit my job flipped off the boss took my name off the payroll.
(screw you man)
Picked up my cell rang my baby's bell said I'm three miles from home.
I said sugar why don't you put on that sundress I like so much,
Wait out by the road I'm comin' to pick you up.

(whoa)
Throw your suitcase in the back,
(whoa)
Done gassed up the Pontiac,
(whoa)
Blastin' out to Johnny Cash, headin' for the highway,
Baby we ain't ever comin' back.

It's four hundred and sixty seven miles to the outskirts of Las Vegas.
What do you say we go get married by a preacher man that looks like Elvis.
(yeah momma)
Sugar don't you worry bout tellin' your momma goodbye,
We'll send her a souvenir postcard from the wild side.

(whoa)
Throw your suitcase in the back,
(whoa)
Done gassed up the Pontiac,
(whoa)
Blastin' out to Johnny Cash, headin' for the highway,
Baby we ain't ever comin' back.

(whoa)
Throw your suitcase in the back,
(whoa)
Done gassed up the Pontiac,
(whoa)
Blastin' out to Johnny Cash, headin' for the highway,
Baby we ain't ever comin' back.

(suey!)

(woah)
(woah)
(woah)
Hear that train a comin', rollin' round the bend.
(whoa)
The man in black is gonna rock your ass again.
(woah)
(woah)
(woah)

Laughed Until We Cried lyrics - jason aldean

Going through my closet the other day
Found an old yearbook, flipped right to the page
Of that senior trip down there on that Panama strip
We all started yelling when we smelled the beach
Just couldn't wait to try our fake ids
We only had a few days, and a whole lot of memories to make
Oh man we were livin, didn't waste one minute
We talked and drank and danced and said goodbye
We laughed until we cried

This past year my family
Was sittin cross-legged 'round the Christmas tree
Listenin to granddad, we all knew it would probably be his last
He was crackin jokes and we were takin turns
Tellin stories bout fishing or lessons learned
Out on the porch with him we all felt like kids again

Oh man we were livin, sittin' there reminiscin'
Yeah, we sang and talked and traveled back in time
We laughed until we cried

It's like the best days under the sun
Every emotion rolled into one
A little of this, A little of that
Kinda happy, Kinda sad

Just the other night the baby was cryin
So I got out of bed rocked her awhile and I held her tight
And I told her it would be all right
My mind went back to a few years ago
We tried so long, we almost gave up hope
And I remember you comin' in and tellin me the news
Oh man we were livin, goin crazy in the kitchen
We danced and screamed and held each other tight
We laughed until we cried
(although, the cd cover says Oh man were livin I'll never forget it,
We danced and kissed and thanked the Lord that night)

Do You Wish It Was Me lyrics - jason aldean

Do you wish it was me?
When the sun slowly chases the moon from the sky
And touches your face as you open your eyes
What are you thinking? Do you like what you see?
Is it all that you dreamed of or do you wish it was me?

Is the life that you chosen free from regret?
Or is what might have been just to hard to forget?
Has the glitter all faded? Do you get what you need?
Are you satisfied baby or do you wish it was me?

I know you did what you thought you should do
It was safe and secure so completely thought through
You sacrificed passion and abandoned your dreams
Baby, was it all worth it or do you wish it was me?

Does each kiss seem closer to the first or the last?
Is the fire still raging or has it burned down to ash?
Do the memories still haunt you? Do they beg and pled?
Are you satisfied baby or do you wish it was me?

Is the life that you chosen free from regrets?
Or is what might have been just to hard to forget?
Has the glitter all faded? Do you get what you need?
Are you satisfied baby or do you wish it was me?
Are you satisfied baby? mm...yeah
Or Do you wish it was me? [2x]
Oh, Do you wish it was me? [4x]

I Use What I Got lyrics - jason aldean

Nobody ever thought I'd make it in this town
They all said i should leave my truck, pack, and turn right back around
They said I didn't have what it takes
I needed money and a pretty face
But I just look at them and say...

I use what I got
Take what I get
Until I ain't got nothin' left
Then I give it some more
Keep on climbing up that mountain
Keep truckin along, work up a sweat
Pass every no, after no, after no, till i get a yes
I don't worry about what i've done
I use what I got, yeah

I still got big dreams and a strong heart
I got a lot of real good friends who helped me get this far
I still got a lot of miles to go
It's a winding, uphill road
And I'll get there the only way i know

I use what I got
Take what I get
Until I ain't got nothin left
Then I give it some more
Keep on climbin' up that mountain
Keep truckin' along, work up a sweat
Pass every no, after no, after no, till I get a yes
I don't worry about what I'm not
I use what I got, yeah

Keep on rollin' along, doin' my best
Past every no after no after no til i get a yes
I don't worry about what i'm not
No, no, I don't worry about what I'm not
I use what i got, yeah

Who's Kissing You Tonight lyrics - jason aldean

I don't think of you every day and night
I got things to do, yeah I'm doing alright
So, I can't explain why in times like these
I nearly go insane when you're not here with me
Oh I know it's really over and you're never coming back
And there's no way that I can make it right
Still I wonder, oh I wonder, oh baby I can't but wonder
Who's kissing you tonight?

Oh it's the jealousy that's hurting me
So why can't I let it be, why can't I just let go?
But the thought of you somewhere with someone else
Doing what we used to do, feeling what we felt
Oh I know it's really over and you're never coming back
And there's no way that I can make it right
Still I wonder, oh I wonder, oh baby I can't but wonder
Who's kissing you tonight?

Oh I know it's really over and you're never coming back
And there's no way that I can make it right
Still I wonder, oh I wonder, oh baby I can't but wonder
Who's kissing you..Who's kissing tonight?
Who's holding you tight? Aw, Who's kissing you tonight?

Relentless lyrics - jason aldean

I toss and turn, I'm losing sleep
Cant seem to make any sense of anything
I keep wandering around in circles, in a daze
Just when i start awakening
I find that something's intoxicating me
Til I'm tangled up, lost inside a maze

I can't outrun it
Just keeps comin'
Girl, your love is relentless

Just like the waves against the sand
Over and over and time and time again
Your love keeps on reaching out to me

I can't outrun it
Just keeps comin'
Oh your love is relentless
I can't fight it
There's no hiding
Oh your love is relentless

I'm staring at a hurricane
A hundred miles of driving rain
I just smile and lean into the wind
Cause i can't outrun it

I can't outrun it
Just keeps comin'
Girl, your love is relentless

I can't fight it
There's no hiding
Girl, your love is relentless

I toss and turn, I'm losing sleep
Can't seem to make any sense of anything
I keep wandering round in circles, in a daze
Just when i start awakening
I find something's intoxicating me
Till I'm tangled up, lost inside a maze

My Memory Ain't What It Used To Be lyrics - jason aldean

It must have been a mountain standing in our way
Or some small misunderstanding
We talked about too late
Was it the kitchen or the bedroom
Where we let a good thing go
Was it destined dreams, or space we needed?
I don't know.

Baby, lately my memory
Ain't what it used to be at all
It's crazy, but holding you close to me
Seeing you smile at me
Is all that I recall
Cause baby it don't matter how hard i try
I still can't remember why we said goodbye

Maybe time's just playing tricks on me these days
Or maybe these old feelings never went away
Cause all that i remember
Is that I'm still in love with you
And if I'm losing my mind, I hope you are too

Baby, lately my memory
Ain't what it used to be at all
It's crazy, but holding you close to me
Seeing you smile at me
Is all that i recall
Cause baby it don't matter how hard i try
I still can't remember why we said goodbye
Goodbye

It's crazy
But holding you close to me
Seeing you smile at me
Is all that I recall
Cause baby, it don't matter how hard i try
I still can't remember why we said goodbye
Why we said goodbye
Why did we say goodbye?

No lyrics - jason aldean

Looking back
At the dead ends and the detours
All I can do is long for a straighter line
Yeah, I was lost
I had no way of knowin'
Where the twists and turns were goin'
But sometimes you just gotta let the road wind

Could have been easier? Yeah.
A little smoother ride, maybe so?
But lying here with you
Would I change one thing about that road?
No.

I believe
Things happen for a reason
Even though you might not see it at the time
Cause now I know
Every plan that came unraveled
Every crooked path I traveled in my life
Led me here to your side

Could it have been easier? Yeah.
A little smoother ride, maybe so?
But lying here with you
Would i change one thing about that road?
No.

Yeah, I finally found you...

Could it have been easier? Yeah.
A little smoother ride, maybe so?
But lying here with you
Would i change one thing bout that road?
It could have been easier, yeah
A little smoother ride, maybe so?
But lying here with you
Would i change one thing bout that road?
No.

Back In This Cigarette lyrics - jason aldean

It's Two A.M. in my new home this motel room
An ash tray full of lucky strikes
A half spent case of warm Bud Lite
Counting regrets...fighting back tears
Retracin' steps...gettin' nowhere

[Chorus:]
Callin' your name it's a waste of my breath
There's no reachin' you across this cold and empty bed
Stirrin' up ashes, tryin' to find passion
Where there's no love left
It's like trying to put smoke back in this cigarette

Come sunrise guess I'll check out and ditch this town
Put a few more miles between us
And keep drivin' till I finally mend this broken trust
Hangin' my hopes on highway signs
If I lie here I'll lose my mind

[Repeat Chorus]

I may never know your reasons why
But someday I'm gonna see the good in your goodbye

[Repeat Chorus]

A Grown Woman lyrics - jason aldean

Pain it's only a little pain
It'll be gone in a couple of days
Or maybe a life or two
Heart it's only my poor heart
Just that little thing you tore apart
It ain't no headline news

[Chorus]

But a grown woman should've known better
Than to treat me like some old lipstick
You use up and throw away
Hey, hey, hey

Time I wish I could turn back time
To when you were just a child
And teach you a thing or two
About love it's okay if you wanna give up
But there's a way to leave someone
And you don't have to be so cruel

[Chorus]

But a grown woman should've known better
Than to treat me like some old dish rag
You use up and throw away
Hey, hey, hey

You're supposed to treat your lover
At least as good as your neighbor
So how could you, a grown woman
Not know no better

I ain't no lipstick you use up and throw away
Cause you're ready for another shade
Hey, hey, hey

You should've known better
Cause you're a grown woman

I Break Everything I Touch lyrics - jason aldean

If it's gonna happen, then it's gonna happen
That's just the way that it is
Oh love comes along and it don't take long
Till it slips through my fingertips
I could make some excuses, but darling the truth is
I'm just the reckless kind
And I don't wanna leave you to pick up the pieces
Oh no matter how I try

Girl, I break everything I touch
Little girl thats close enough
Seems like every heart I've ever loved
I break everything I touch

I can't look in your eyes and tell you a lie
I'd love to leave here with you
Oh but darling the fact is
I'm always attracted to everything I shouldn't do
Oh so you better know, before I lose control
Before we throw it all to chance
Girl your welcome to stay, but all I've got to say
Before you lay your heart in my hands

Yeah I break everything I touch
Little girl thats close enough
Seems like every heart I've ever loved
I break everything I touch

Well I break everything I touch
Little girl thats close enough
Seems like every heart I've ever loved
I break everything I touch

Yeah I break everything I touch
Little girl thats close enough
Seems like every heart I've ever loved
I break everything I touch

Not Every Man Lives lyrics - jason aldean

Have you ever skipped a stone across the water
Have you ever hitched a free ride on a train
Have you ever climbed up on a water tower
To write a name

The truth is, Every man dies
Not every man lives

Have you ever loved someone that you would die for
Have you ever walked too far out on a limb
Have you ever chased a dream too high to reach for
And pulled it in

Truth is Every man dies
But Not every man lives

I wanna paint outside the lines
Run the red lights in my mind
Take everything, One lifetime has to give
I wanna stand inside a fire
Walk blind-folded on a wire
Every man dies
But not every man lives

Have you ever thought about how fast time passes
Ever thought about what you would leave behind
Ever stood up for something you believed in
And drawn a line

Truth is every man dies
But not every man lives

I wanna paint outside the lines
Run the red lights in my mind
Take Everything, One lifetime has to give
I wanna stand inside a fire
Walk blind-folded on a wire

Every man Dies
But Not Every Man Lives

I wanna stand inside a fire
Walk Blind-folded on a wire
Every Man Dies
But Not every Man Lives

Have you ever skipped a stone across the water...
Have you ever Hitched a free ride on a train...

"Jason Aldean" (2005)



Hicktown lyrics - jason aldean

Oh, you like the way that sounds?

Little Jimmy Jackson is jackin' up his Bronco.
He's gonna lay a little rubber later on at the truck pull.
An' all the girls are getting' pretty... they're sprayin' on the White Rain.
Yeah, they're gonna get a rowdy tonight down at the football game.

Yeah, we let it rip when we got the money...
Let it roll if we got the gas.
It gets wild, yeah, but that's the way we get down,
In a Hicktown.

Well, you can see the neighbors butt crack nailing on his shingles,
An' his woman's' smokin' Pall Mall's watchin' Laura Ingalls.
An' Granny's getting' lit, she's headin' out to bingo.
Yeah, my buddies an' me are goin' muddin' down on Blue Hole Road.

You know, you know, we let it rip when we got the money...
Let it roll if we got the gas.
It gets wild, yeah, but that's the way we get down,
In a Hicktown.

[Instrumental Break]
(Oh, stand on it.)

We hear folks in the city party in Martini Bars,
An' they like to show off in their fancy foreign cars.
Out here in the boondocks we buy beer at Amoco,
An' crank our Kraco speakers with that country radio.

We let it rip when we got the money...
Let it roll if we got the gas.
It gets wild, yeah, but that's the way we get down.

Oh, oh we let it rip when we got the money...
Let it roll if we got the gas.
It's buck wild, yeah, but that's the way we get down,
In a Hicktown.
In a Hicktown.
That's the way we get down in a Hicktown.
In Hicktown, yeah, in Hicktown.

Got your country boys and your redneck girls
It's the party heard round the world
Right here in Hicktown
In Hicktown
The whole town's getting down
In Hicktown
Yeah, in Hicktown

Amarillo Sky lyrics - jason aldean

He gets up before the dawn;
Packs a lunch an' a thermos full of coffee.
It's another day in the dusty haze;
Those burnin' rays are wearin' down his body.
The diesels worth the price of gold;
It's the cheapest grain he's ever sold,
But he's still holdin' on.

He just takes the tractor another round,
An' pulls the plow across the ground,
And sends up another prayer.
He says: "Lord, I never complain, I never ask: 'Why?'
"Please don't let my dreams run dry,
"Underneath, underneath this Amarillo Sky."

That hail storm back in '83,
Sure did take a toll on his family.
But he stayed strong and carried on,
Just like his Dad and Granddad did before him.
On his knees every night,
He prays: "Please let my crops and children grow,"
'Cause that's all he's ever known.

He just takes the tractor another round,
An' pulls the plow across the ground,
And sends up another prayer.
He says: "Lord, I never complain, I never ask: 'Why?'
"Please don't let my dreams run dry,
"Underneath, underneath this Amarillo Sky."

[Instrumental Break]

An' he takes the tractor another round. (Another round.)
Another round. (Another round.)
Another round.
An' he takes the tractor another round, another round.
He says: "I never complain, I never ask: 'Why?'
"Please don't let my dreams run dry,
"Underneath, underneath this Amarillo Sky.
"Underneath this Amarillo Sky."

Why lyrics - jason aldean

It's 3 AM and I finally say
I'm sorry for acting that way
I didn't really mean to make you cry
Oh baby, sometimes I wonder why

[CHORUS]
Why does it always have to come down
To you leaving
Before I'll say 'I love you'
Why do I always use the words
That cut the deepest
When I know how much it hurts you
Oh baby why, do I do that to you

I know I'd never let you walk away
So why do I push you 'til you break
And why are you always on the verge of good-bye
Before I'll show you how I really feel inside

[CHORUS]
Why does it always have to come down
To you leaving
Before I'll say 'I love you'
Why do I always use the words
That cut the deepest
When I know how much it hurts you
Oh baby why, do I do that to you

Why do I always use the words that cut the deepest
When I know how much it hurts you
Oh baby why, do I do that to you
Why do I do that to you

Even If I Wanted To lyrics - jason aldean

I'm on the brink; I can barely think,
With all of these thoughts runnin' through my head.
Wonderin' if I did you wrong?
No way, I did you wrong.

Every night, I try to justify,
All the angry things I said, oh, but I can't take 'em back.
No, I can't do that.
I was wrong, oh, but now you're gone.

An' I can't hide what I feel inside,
An' just stop lovin' you even if I wanted to.
I can't hold on, but lettin' go,
Is something I can't do,
Is something I can't do,
Even if I wanted to.

All the times I sat and watched you cry,
When I should have held you close, made sure that you know,
How much I cared but I was never there...
I was wrong an' now you've moved on.

I can't hide what I feel inside,
An' just stop lovin' you even if I wanted to.
I can't hold on, but lettin' go,
Is something I can't do,
Is something I can't do,
Even if I wanted to.
Even if I wanted to.

[Instrumental Break]

Yeah, I can't hide what I feel inside, (What I feel inside.)
An' just stop lovin' you even if I wanted to.
I can't hold on, but lettin' go, (Lettin' go.)
Is something I can't do,
Is something I can't do,
Even if I wanted to.
Even if I wanted to.

Lonesome USA lyrics - jason aldean

Drove half way to town last night an' I turned around,
In a field of fireflies makin' such a lonely sound.
As my headlights flashed on a mailbox by the road,
I realized that I was livin' in a new zip code.

Well, I'm livin' in Lonesome, USA...
Population one since yesterday.
Livin' and dyin' in the hell I made since you been gone.
Right now, my mind's in another state;
Ain't enough heart here left to break.
I'm livin' in Lonesome, Lonesome, USA.

I never knew the sound of silence could be so loud.
It's hard getting used to livin' in an empty house.
Yeah, I know I can come an' go any time I please,
But there's somethin' I miss about you waitin' up on me.

Well, I'm livin' in Lonesome, USA...
Population one since yesterday.
Livin' and dyin' in the hell I made since you been gone.
Right now, my mind's in another state;
Ain't enough heart here left to break.
I'm livin' in Lonesome, Lonesome, USA.

Hey, I could drive all night an' be right here where I am,
And still be just as lost till you come back.
Hey, I look around here an' it don't take long to see,
Oh, where I am right now's no place to be.

[Instrumental Break]

Lonesome, USA...
Population one since yesterday.
Livin' and dyin' in the hell I made since you been gone.
Right now, my mind's in another state;
Ain't enough heart here left to break.
I'm livin' in Lonesome, Lonesome, USA.
Hey, I'm livin' in Lonesome, Lonesome USA.
Hey, I'm livin' in Lonesome, Lonesome USA.

Asphalt Cowboy lyrics - jason aldean

The sun has opened up my eyes,
An' I don't want to leave your side,
For that lonesome road but here I go.
Climbing back behind the wheel,
Of 50 feet of chrome and steel,
An' a load they need in Chicago.
Through the middle of the night unknown,
I'm on a ride that won't let me go.

I'm an asphalt cowboy;
Born to run underneath the stars...
Pay no mind to my lonely heart,
I just ride, ride.
Till I'm back in your arms again,
I'll be out here on the wind.

An' sometimes late at night,
I see your picture by the dashboard light,
And it takes me where I'd like to be.
Wrapped up in a blanket there,
Pullin' ribbons from you hair and your kiss...
Girl that's what I miss.
Still I drive these horses through the rain and snow,
This high-speed rodeo is all I know.

I'm an asphalt cowboy;
Born to run underneath the stars...
Pay no mind to my lonely heart,
I just ride, ride.
Till I'm back in your arms again,
I'll be out here on the wind.

An' I'll ride,
Till I'm back in your arms again,
I'll be out here on the wind.
An' I'll ride,
Through the middle of the night unknown,
I'm on a ride that won't let me go.

I'm Just A Man lyrics - jason aldean

I'm a blue collar man, had a hammer in my hand,
For the last few years of my life.
Working double overtime while you sleep alone at night...
Baby I know it's been a long hard ride.
Sometimes I forget to say "I love you",
But baby, please know that I do, yeah.

I live this life everyday,
I make my share of mistakes,
And every lesson I've learned, I've learned the hard way.
I do the best that I can,
And I hope you understand,
After all, I'm just a man.

I found a postcard that you've saved, it's turned yellow with age,
Of a beautiful place in the sun.
We've been saying, every year, that we're gonna go there,
And run away... just the two of us.
Well, I put that picture back on your dresser,
Grab my keys, I got to get back to work, yeah...

I live this life everyday,
I make my share of mistakes,
And every lesson I've learned, I've learned the hard way.
I do the best that I can,
And I hope you understand,
After all, I'm just a man.

[Instrumental Break]

I live this life everyday,
I make my share of mistakes,
And every lesson I've learned, I've learned the hard way.
I do the best that I can,
And I hope you understand,
After all, I'm just a man.
After all, I'm just a man.
That's all I am,
Baby, I'm just a man.

You're The Love I Wanna Be In lyrics - jason aldean

I've always been there every time he let you down.
I caught your fallin' tears before they hit the ground.
But I just heard somebody say that you finally told him goodbye.
Well, girl now you've finally made your move, now I'm here to make mine.

I wanna be there when you wake up,
Be more than just your friend.
Baby there's no mistakin',
You're the love I wanna be in, ah yeah.

I've kept my feelins under lock and key.
Couldn't let you see them even though it was killin' me.
You can't imagine all the time I spent wishin' you were mine.
I just know if we ever kissed, we'd go crazy, baby, for the rest of our lives.

I wanna be there when you wake up,
Be more than just your friend.
Baby there's no mistakin',
You're the love I wanna be in.

[Instrumental Break]

Well, I wanna be there when you wake up,
Be more than just your friend.
Baby there's no mistakin',
You're the love I wanna be in.

I wanna be there when you wake up,
Be more than just your friend.
Baby there's no mistakin',
You're the love I wanna be in.
You're the love I wanna be in, ah yeah.

I wanna be there when you wake up.

Good To Go lyrics - jason aldean

Waitin' at a stop light yesterday
As a funeral procession made its way,
Through the gates.
I watched it roll up a winding road,
Through a field of green with white headstones,
All in a row.
And it made me think about where I'm at,
On my not so straight and narrow path...
All the generous and mostly undeserved,
Blessings that I've had.

I had an all-American Mom and Dad,
Some of the coolest friends you could ever have.
Found love I thought I'd never find...
Sometimes I can't believe this life is mine.
And I'm not plannin' on leavin' yet,
But the truth is, you just never know,
An' if this is as good as it gets,
Man, I think I'm good to go,
I'm good to go.

I said a prayer for the dearly departed,
An, the loved ones left broken hearted,
Then traffic started.
An' I drove away a little more able,
To see the good things on my table,
And that I'm grateful.
'Cause I've had my troubles, I've had my trials;
I've hit the mark an' I've missed by miles.
Had days that I've been fightin' mad,
But the good times have more than outweighed the bad.

Got to hold my newborn baby girl,
And the hand of a man as he slipped from this world.
I've laughed so hard, I couldn't stop,
Seen the sunrise from a mountain top.
And I'm not plannin' on leavin' yet,
But the truth is, you just never know,
An' if this is as good as it gets,
Man, I think I'm good to go.

[Instrumental Break]

Yeah, I've been thinkin' bout where I'm at,
On my not so straight and narrow path,
An' I wouldn't wanna change nothin' about,
This "roll with the punches" life I've had.

I had an all-American Mom and Dad,
Some of the coolest friends you could ever have.
Found love I thought I'd never find...
I can't believe this life is mine.
And I'm not plannin' on leavin' yet,
But the truth is, you just never know,
An' if this is as good as it gets,
Man, I think I'm good to go,
I'm good to go.
I'm good to go.

I Believe In Ghosts lyrics - jason aldean

I've never been superstitious
I've never feared the unknown
But ever since you left me
I've believeed in ghosts
Girl, i believe in ghosts

[Chorus]
Well i'm haunted by a memory
That won't leave or let me go
Call me crazy and i may be
But i believe in ghosts
Girl, i believe in ghosts

I swear i keep seeing shadows
I kno that i'm not alone
I feel the temperature dropping
And it chills me to the bone

[Chorus]

Should i be afraid, should i be scared
You follow me everywhere, I'm haunted

Call me crazy Hell I may be
But I believe in ghosts

[Chorus]

I've never been superstitious
I've never feared the unknown
But ever since you left me baby
I've believed in ghosts

She Loved Me lyrics - jason aldean

It was the summer of '89
I fell in love and i learned to drive
Me and Becky didn't waste no time
Went zero to 65 one night
Being young was getting old
We were headed down a dead end road

But we didn't care, we were on a roll
Hangin' on for the ride
Those lines that we were crossing
Carelessly tossin' caution to the wind
We were wearin' thin

[chorus]
We were livin' for the minute lovin' every second of it
Fearless wild and free
Nothin' could stop us
But one day time caught up with us
And woke us up in the middle of our dream
But not before she loved me

To think we thought that it would last
Now lookin' back i have to laugh
What a mess we made of that
Now I'm not sure that i would want it back
We learned a little bit about love
What it wasn't and what it was
It was fast and it was fun
The beginning of the end of us
But one day that road just ran out
Yeah, i still travel down it now and then, and once again

[chorus]

She loved me
She loved me
