Let's take out the Boat

I recieved her text,
She said "It's Almost summer,
So you know what's coming next...
"Let's take out the Boat.."

Let's take out the Boat,
Go Out to the middle of the Lake,
Turn up the Music real loud and just sit there and Float,
or Pull me behind the tube and rock me around like a rubix cube,..
Let's Reach way down in an ice cold cooler and see what comes out,
Let's take out the Boat.

I Can't wait to get out of this shade and out to that sun,
Bust out the tune's, Blow it up and have some fun..
I got my noodle and I'm ready to float my worries away,
So hurry up baby, We don't have all day..
Thumbs down means slow,
Thumbs up means fast,
But don't be scared,
We all end up fallin' on our ass.

Get that man a life jacket,
When he get's up on that board,
I'm gonna let him have it..
Tell him to Hold on to his head,
Because just like my beer,
I'm gonna crack it!"
Thumbs down means slow,
Thumbs up means fast,
I can't wait,.. We'll have a Blast.
The Boat will be shakin'
By the Waves I'll be makin'
Let's take out the boat,
..That's all she wrote!"

Top of the Shelf

I stored my heart at the top of the shelf..
I just found out I don't need it right now,
Because I plan on bein' great all by myself,
I don't need to feel good about me with nobody else.
I don't need no woman and I don't need no greed,
To me I got everything right now, So what more do I need?"

I got my own sickness, and I got my own health..
I Care for my friends and family for they are my wealth.
I don't need no heartache and I don't need no pain,
I don't need no ball and I don't need no chain,
I'm not hatin on you woman, I just can't stand the game,
I just need to feel the same way I felt, before you came.."

"I stored my heart at the top of the shelf..
Right now I don't need it for I don't feel alone,
I don't need it, I plan on bein' great all on my own."
I stored my heart at the top of the shelf,
I don't need nobody, nobody else..
Someday I may just take it down,
But until then I'll just keep on Lovin' myself,
Until then.. I'll keep Lovin' myself."

Become a Man

You Can't always stay a Peter Pan,..
You Can't always stay in Neverland,
You Can't spend you're day's flyin' away
Or Expecting that Mary will always' stay and play,
Everybody's gotta grow up and be a Man someday."

You Can't stay beside a shadow that you can't always find,
And You Can't turn back the clock or stop the time,
But if you Look Beyond the message of a book,
You'll find there's more to life then just fightin' a man
who's got a hand for a hook, yeah."

Yeah I know right now you may think it is fun,
And you may just think that when you grow up
those day's will be done,
But What if Someday Mary no longer takes you're hand,
Sayin' "I'm Sorry Peter for with you I can't come,"
For You stayed a boy and I'm a woman,
And I'm Sorry Peter, I've found Someone.."

And then you're left with only a happy thought,
And Someday you'll realise it's not what you think that you want,
that you really want,.. it was alway's something else..
and then you lose you're only shot.. so you better be sure if stayin' a
boy forever, is something.. that you really want."

That's why you Can't alway's stay in Neverland..
That's why you Can't alway's stay a Peter Pan,
Someday you must,.. become a man."

Look down, Look up

There's nothing more I can say or do to you,
That I haven't already said or done..
I may have to walk this time,
because I can't always run,
I can't give you the moon,
And I, can't give you the sun,
I can only give you,
what you've been givin' me."

I just sucks that I have to go through,
What you were once affraid of what I would do, to you."
I don't like re-lookin' for something
that I, thought I already found,
I don't like headin' for somewhere
just to realize that I, have to turn around.
But I won't ever be able to bring myself back up,
If I don't learn nothing from lookin' down."

There's nothing more I can say or do to you,
That I haven't already said or done.
I may have to walk this time,
Because now I know, that I can't always run,
I couldn't give you the moon,
and I, couldn't give you the sun.
I could only give you me,
As long as you could give me you,
For I could only give you me,
As long as you gave me you too."

This Too shall Pass

I know it Hurt's, It Hurt's like Hell..
I've been there as well,
And I Can tell you it does get better,
And that we all just want you Back..
I Could tell you about a time before I met you're mom,
Heartbreak and a Woman almost got me parked on a Railroad Track,
I Once thought like you, I thought nothing could ever bring me back.
So I know what You're going through..
But I thank God Everyday for that little something I didn't do,
For I wouldn't have met you're mom..
and I Wouldn't have you!"
This Too shall pass..
Boy, Don't make me kick you're ass,
It may seem like this is the worst of the worse but it's all in you're head,
but what doesn't kill you, mean's that you aern't dead.
In time my son, this will only be the past
In time, This Too shall pass.."

Women Like You

I'm still her sunshine, I'm still the one she call's "mine",
She Knows I love her so I don't tell her all of the time,
She still hangs up all my pictures on the fridge for all to see,
It's Mother's Like you that Bring out the Kid in me,
If not for mother's like you, I wouldn't be the man I be,
I Wouldn't be this man you all see.."

She'd take my toys, and I'd yell "Give me it Back,that's mine!"
We'd fight and argue, but we'd make up all of the time,
And now that we've grown, I've alway's got her back
and she's alway's got mine..
It's Sister's like you that bring out the Big Brother in me,
It's Sister's like you, that make me.. the man I be,
the man you all see.."

And now,.. I found a Woman that I hold everynight and I call mine,
I promised the Lord I would Love her for all time,
She holds my hand and I smile in the park for all to see,
And it's Women like you that Bring out the Man in me,
It's Women like you that make me the man, the man I am, for all to see."

Good Company

Do I listen better then you'd ever think?
Do You get Creeped out when I rinse out the Sink?
Do You think were gettin' robbed when I Lift up the Seat?
Are You gonna Laugh when I start to rub you're feet?
Are You gonna get scared when I do what you don't Normally See?
Because I don't know why you should ever be..
I'm not them, I am me.."

I am me, Not that other somebody,
I'm not them, I'm not him,
Who else do you expect me to be?
I am me, and when I'm with you..
You are free, baby is to hard to see?
That Clearly You're in Good Company."

I know You're no longer a fan of one man,
But baby you must understand, I'm not that man.
He Wrecked You're Trust, but You musn't bust.
I'm not going to play his game,
I know you think all men are the same,
But you only found out what you don't want,
So throw him away and give me a shot!..

I am me, Not that other somebody,
I'm not them, I'm not him,
Who Else do you expect me to be?
I am me, and when I'm with you..
We are free, baby now that you see,
You must be,.. in Good Company,
You can Smile, You're in..
Good Company with me."

Right now, Right here

I always wanted too..
Laugh, Chat and Dance where winner's Dine,
Sit up tall and smile in seats that don't recline,
Stand on a Carpet that matches the color of wine,
Yes, Sometimes it sounds all elegant and so divine,
But there's a reason why I don't live that life,
and it's because baby, I like mine."

Yes, I always wanted too..
Sometime Live in a palace up high for all to revere,
Sit on the Coast, Relax in the sun and never run out of beer,
Or Cruise down a road where the hills never end,
Or have so much green that I could never spend,
My Fondest Dreams may never Disappear,
It's just that better ones start to Appear,
Yes, Sometimes it still sounds nice out there..
But I don't really need it..
for I have I want, right now,
right here."

Think About Me?

When Jack Said to Rose "Don't Let Go"
When You're being pulled behind
a boat and they drive to slow.
When You see Superman or a Palm Tree
Everytime You see what I wanted to see,
I hope You think about me..

When You wake up to my song on the radio,
When You sit at that place where we used to go..
When you order that Long Island Ice Tea,
Everytime You hear Kenny Chesney,
I hope You think about me..

I hope you think about me,
And who we used to be,
Thinkin' about all the things we used to do,
Because at that Same moment,
You Never Know, I may be just thinkin' about you,
I may be, I'm maybe just thinkin' about you too."

I'd do Anything

It was on this playground,
Right Behind this pitcher's mound,
When a kiss on the lip's was a big thing,
When a quarter could buy you a wedding ring,
And as soon as I jumped off that bus I'd Sing..

God, I'd do anything
To hold on to this precious thing
To tell Time what I'm telling You,
Just name it God and that's what I'll do,
I know someday's I may pray for it all,
But I would put this above it all,
God, I'd do anything..
Just Don't Change a thing.

It was on this lake,
We'd keep our beer's in the cooler so they don't bake,
Year after year Outdue last year's summer break,
Laugh and Learn from the mistakes we used to make,
When the girl you've been lookin' for,
becomes more then just a fling,
And You're just prayin' for that day,
You Hear those church bells ring..
And I sing,

I'd do anything,
To hold on to that precious thing,
To Tell Her what I'm telling You,
If I really want it, that's just what I'll do,
I know someday's I want it all,
But I will put this one above it all,
God, I'm sorry I asked for anything...
For you gave me life,
And I wouldn't change a thing."

Help is Someone

You Never Know how much Arms Might Get You Home
Just Remember and Always Know You are Not Alone.
When You Need Help on a Path, Road or Task.
Don't Hestiate, Don't be Affraid to Ask."
Don't Give up and Don't be Dumb,
Wave Your Arms Around, Help is Always Someone.
When your in a Slump and You need that Jump..
If You Don't have the Money,
And You Don't have the Gas..
Don't Just Sit There, Get up off Your Ass."
Don't Assume Nobody will Help, And Nobody Will Care,
Just so You Know, We've all Been There."

The Mask

I stumbled into a Bar on Main,
I was looking to get reckless,
When Suddenly I realised,
An Angel also Came..
She Looked at me,
When the Bar Turned Black
She Smiled at me,
And She called me Sir,
She said May I Ask..
I Just Nodded my head,
She asked "What's with the mask?"
Now I shrugged my Shoulder's,
And I drew out my Flask..
I said "Baby What do you mean?
I'm Not wearing No Mask!"

then She Looked down at me and Said..
"Are You here for the Beer?"
"Are You here because You're Lost?"
"Are You here because You're Bad?"
"Are You here for the Lust?
Because You've Given up on Faith, Love or Trust?"
If You feel that's the reason You're Here,
Then I'm Sorry Sir, Drink You're Beer,
But if You're Not wearing a Mask..
Sir Why are you Here?"

A Week rolled on by,
I looked into a Mirror,
And asked Myself "Who am I?
And Am I Living a Lie.."
Below the Stage of a Gentlemen's Club out of Town,
I stared into a Young Girl's Eyes
As She was looking down.
As I looked up, I Smiled at Her,
And I Said "Okay I gotta ask..

What's with the Mask?"..
"Are You here for the Tips?
"Are You here for some kids or a grocery List?"
"Are you here because You're Scared?"
"Are You here for the lust?"
Because You've given up on faith, love or trust?"
If You feel that' the reason You're Here.
Then Cheers, I gotta Buck right here.
But if You're not wearing a mask,
Mam, Why are you Here?"

Nobody should allow an apple to rot,
An Angel can show you the Goodness You got,
Even if you hide behind a mask,
You Can still get Caught.
Something's don't match,
Something's just Clash,
If You're Wearing One,
You Can't run..
Sometime, Somehow,
Somebody may ask..
and Hopefully Someday,
You Remove that Mask.

Moving Forward

Sometimes you gotta sit down and
Take a look at that map,
Realise Where you're Going..
And Where you're At.
If Theres Somewhere you wanna be,
Never Say You Can't..

That's Why I say, Yes When I Can,
Maybe When I might,
And No, When It's not a Problem..

Take a Little Chance,
You Wear the Pants
Take a Little Risk,
You Can't alway's Miss,
Do what you Can,
Follow through on that Plan,
You are the Man!"

And Alway's Say, Yes When You Can,
Maybe When You might,
And No, When it's Not a Problem..

Don't Be Affraid to Fail,
As Long You Don't Go Backword's
You're alway's on a Trail,
Anybody may Fail Epically,
Anybody may Laugh Hysterically,
But I refuse to lose with the
hand that I've been Delt,
I may Cry, but I Don't Melt,
This is Where I'm Going,
This is Where I'm at,
If You Can Accept what I Can Give,
I Can Give You That."

Don't Let You're Baby Cry

When She Look's Like She is Leavin'
You Don't Stop to feel the Cold of the Water,
You Hold You're Breath, You Can Close You're Eye's,
But You Start Leapin!"

Don't Let You're Baby Cry..
Love is Eye to Eye,
Her Pain is You're Pain,
You're Gain is You're Shame,
When She get's hurt,
You Both Feel the Same."
So Now You Know Why,.
Don't Let You're Baby Cry..

When She Start's Screamin'
You Start Leapin..
When She Start's Sleepin'
You Both start Dreamin."

I wish it would have been a Dragon

She Sprung up from this here chair,
She Shouted Kill it, And I said What and Where?"
Now I ran Around this here House,
Like a Cat Chasin' a Mouse,
And When that Wasp was finally Dead,
She Looked up at me and Said,
I'm Sorry, I just hate Bugs with Wings,
Little Critters and Eight Legged things,
I Smiled and I Said I Don't Care,
"Where I Have to Look or What I have to Find..
I Like Savin' You, And I Would do it Anytime,
Baby I Don't Mind,
Baby I Ain't Braggin'
I Just Wish it would have
Been a Dragon."

Because if it where a Dragon,
From You I was Savin'
There'd be Fire, There'd be Ash,
And There'd be Smoke,
I'd have a Sword not a Broom,
And my Shield might get Broke.
Yes I'd Fight till my Doom
And You Would See What I Would do,
Just to Rescue You..
Because If it where a Dragon I was Slayin'
I Would Look more Amazin'
Because If it Where a Dragon,
For You, I'd still Die Savin'
