My Shit

Every song on the radio reminds me of you,
I have trouble sleeping at night,
You made me see the world as you do,
And I just gotta say, This shit sucks..
What happened to my shit?'

So I'm listening to the songs that I'm used too.
Going hard on the weekend, Callin' up my party friend,
Doing everything that I want to do
And looking forward to doing it all again.
Double fistin' and stayin' lit
Just doing my shit, Doing my shit.

So if you haven't figured it out by now,
She walked out of my life with no reason as of why,
But I just figured it out, What her shit was about
Somehow after she left I got soft,
When I'd rather be loud,
And I'm sure that's what she wanted,
But she took off before I could work it all out,
I must admit I miss her a bit,
But Oh well I'm doing my shit

Almost, gave a shit. Almost, lost my shit,
Oh well, I'm doing my shit
Oh well, I'm the shit

The Struggle

I just want to skip all the bullshit,
I'm getting tired of all these games
That we don't have to play,
I just want to take home this dinner for two,
Run up stairs and jump into bed with you,
And Show you apart of me that you never knew..

So it all comes down to the struggle,
And I'm strugglin' here with you,
Shorty hows come we can't just do,
What we both wanna do!

When your not around, I talk about this all over town,
Let them all know that I can't wait to lay the pipe down,
I just want to skip all the bullshit,
Shorty I see the kink in your shoulder,
So baby don't mind it when I just slide on over..

So it all comes down to the struggle,
And I'm strugglin' here with you,
Shorty hows come we can't just do,
What I know we both wanna do!

Judging by what you got on tonight,
Are you sending me the green light?
Do we got grenades? Are we blocked by the flow?
She smiles and gives me that Pouncin' Lion' eye
Step aside children, turn off that phone,
Girl you lookin' fine, Is this really happening?
Hell Yeah it's whoopie time!"

Does it Matter

'Sittin' here out of sight and in my mind
Tryin' to figure out why it didn't all work out,
And why I can't seem to stop
Thinkin' about you everyday,
But I don't know why I'm so worried about it,
It don't matter anyway..'

It's a total awakening,
When you finally open up your eyes and see
Worrying doesn't get you anywhere, anyway
You do You, I'll do me,
Maybe someday you'll wake up,
And finally see the world like me,
But in the end, To me, It doesn't matter anyway..

It used to make me feel insignificant when
people used to close the door on me,
When in my heart I knew I had so much left to offer,
But now when I look back..
I can't even begin to figure out
why it ever used to get to me!'

It doesn't matter to me anyway
No, It don't matter anyway,
Who am I to say what matters to you today,
When it never really mattered to me anyway.'
Because in my heart I know I'm enough,
I'm capable of love, I'm adaptable to hurt,
In that moment when you realize what you are capable of,
well the rest, It don't matter anyway..'How am I going to end this song?
Oh, how am I going to end this..
Does it matter anyway?

Big Red Barn

In Smallville,
We all know of that Big Red Barn,
The One still standing gracefully on top of a hill,
Well it might just be another Barn to you,
But to me, It's a Monument,
Where Good times,
Big Meals, Wide Smiles
And all Four Seasons were spent
When I see that Big Red Barn,
Oh' When I see that Barn,
I never forget..

That old crack of water down by the ditch,
Is still a good place to catch all the fish,
But it'll never be as good as it once was..
Shovelin' up worms an tossin' them in a folger's can,
Reminds me that I'm becoming more like my old man..

In Smallville,
We all know of that Big Red Barn,
The One still standing gracefully on top of a hill,
Well it might just be another Barn to you,
But to me, It's a Monument,It's a Monument..

All of the Antique Tractor's have been sold off,
And We no longer own much of the land,
But when I catch that Ol' shakin' fish,
And Swing it towards my hand
I can hear his old wisdom voice,
The one that made me laugh,
And when I look towards that hill,
Where the Old Barn stands still,
I see Grandma walkin' down it with her Polaroid.

Well it might just be another Barn to you,
But to me, It's a Monument,
Where Good times,
Big Meals, Wide Smiles
And all Four Seasons were spent
When I see that Big Red Barn,
Oh' When I see that Big Red Barn,
I never forget.."

I Ain't Ever Going Back

I remember lovin' being single,
I remember lovin' every last minute of it,
But when I think about it now,
About what I loved the most about it, I forget
Since you came, it Ain't ever gonna be the same..
Live it, Laugh it, Love it I Ain't ever going back!

She takes her coffee with a little coconut spiced cream,
Plays her Playlist in the morning while shuffling around doing her thing
Her bed has more pillows then that of what I own,
But that's what makes it feel more like home,
She walks into the room looking for something,
With her one leg arched off the ground,
All while brushing her teeth!
And I just can't seem to see myself,
Ever going back..  Or anytime soon..

Buggy eyed sun glasses on a summer day,
I've now seen her in every color,
And Oh Man I have to say,
She wears every last one of them well,
She wears those high rise shorts that no man likes,
But me, because I know what's underneath,
When she leans in to rest her head on my chest
And When we both ain't got nothing we gotta do,
Ohhh, those days are the best
Yes, I ain't ever going back..

Bites her nails but I think it's a cute little habit,
Girl you don't have to do a thing to earn my love,
Because you already have it,
Your the reason I ain't ever going back.
That laugh, My smile, This love,
Nope I Ain't ever going back!'

Three days

Sometimes people search there whole lives looking for something
And they really have no idea what there looking for,
But Sometimes on that first day on that one day,
You find yourself on the other side of her door..

It's been Three days,
And I'm already comin' up with new ways,
New excuses, to meet up,
like "Oh' wait I forgot something,"
So we have to meet up again,
or the old "We'll have to save that for another time"
And then you eventually come to the notion,
The realization that you finally come to find,
That Sometimes Three days is all it takes..

Three days, And I didn't want to leave her place
Three days, And I didn't want to find a new face
Three days, And I'm already makin' mix tapes,
I guess Three days is all it takes..

It's been Three days,
We Laugh about what made us laugh on that first day,
That old 'Maybe another time'
Becomes 'Words with rhyme'
And on that third day when you receive that first kiss,
Who knows, it may just turn into a song like this..

It's been Three days,
And I'm already comin' up with new ways,
New excuses, to meet up,
like "Oh' wait I forgot something,"
So we have to meet up again,
or the old "We'll have to save that for another time"
And then you eventually come to the notion,
The realization that you finally come to find,
That sometimes, you finally come to find,
That Three days is all it takes!'

Sometimes people search there whole lives looking for something
And they really have no idea what there looking for,
But sometimes and not very often,
they find it in only three days time..

Fishin' for a Life

Packed up the Poles, Backed up the Boat
Took my Truck to that Old' Fishin' spot
Where I Once Caught the Big One,
A Couple hours later'
The mosquitoes started bitin'
But the, Fish were still fightin'
Came home late the night,
With the, Catch of the Day,
When my woman said to me,
"Still throwin' your life away I see."
I said "What do you mean?"
She said "There's more to life then just fishin!"
So I started thinkin' But not for long,
I started Laughin', Sayin'
"No Dear, There really isn't.."

Like that time when I had that summer job
But I, wasn't makin' nearly enough,
I had to fish for another job.
Like every year around my father's birthday,
I gotta go out and fish for another card,
You say there's more to life then fishin'
But when it comes down to it there really isn't.
Fishin' for new friends, Fishin' to make ends,
And Actual Fishin' on weekends,
You say there's more to life then fishin'
But in life, When it comes down to it..
Fishin' is all there is

She just started shakin' her head,
"You know that's not what I meant" she said
And that time When I felt like something was missin' in my life,
I even went out and fished up myself a wife,
So you can see how all you say isn't entirely true,
After all these years your still the best one I ever caught,
Cause' I was even fishing when I found You!
I was even fishin'... when I found You!..
"Now c'mon honey would you like some of this?
Now baby would you like some fish?"
"Sure but next time your takin' me with you."
"...Damn."

This Man Knows

I once knew a man who knew what he was doin',

Seems like in this date and time a man like him,

Is becoming more scarce to find..

He started out selling pencils,

For pennies and not a nickel more,

He and His Old Lady,

Met Sometime after the war,

He purchased up some farm land up north,

And then there first child was born,

And as time went on,

More kids came along..

Soon the river down by the bay stopped flowing,

All the kids moved out,

And grand kids started growing,

The First borns looked more like him,

And they came over time and time again,

Then one day the old man died,

Years later he and his Old Lady did re-unite,

The Children inherited the land that was left behind,

Some may remember him as a political man,

Some may remember him by the shovel in his hand,

Some may say he was even slowly losing his mind,

No, He was just a man who knew what he was doin',

A man who knew what he was doin' all this time."

Beast Mode

She's a pistol slingin', Rope Twirlin' southern charm,

Bottle o' Jack and a flask strapped to her arm,

He's a banker from the east who doesn't slam on the peddle,

He just takes it with ease,

But when these two people meet,

He'll be down on his knees,

Baggin' Lord Can I have her please?"

You got your Short Coming's, Long Running's,

But Life never really turns out the way you planned,

You can draw some new cards Or

You can stick with what you got in your hand,

Or you can just flat out fold,

You can follow orders or stay true to the code,

Or you can saddle up man,

And do it in Beast Mode.

Now she needed him to widen her stride,

He needed her to make him be more alive,

With one look they became each other's pride,

They became unstoppable with love on there side..

Now You can follow the river Or You can follow the road,

Call up the station and tell 'em you need to be towed,

Or you can rip off your shirt, Bust out the tools

And do it Beast Mode.

Now he know's, She can handle her own,

She's not just a flower she is also thorn-ed,

And she know's, He's not one to often explode,

But when there is fear in his mind

And a Crazy look in his eye,

For his Southern Pride he will be in Beast Mode.

And as they struggled and strode,

If one ever became Lassoed,

You'd best better be ready,

For both of them set in Beast Mode,

For both of them,

Set in Beast Mode."

Get Some

Tonight, Let's go out or Let's go get some,
We'll give out the orders and listen to no one,
Let's find new grounds or take it to new heights,
Let's walk past the haters and blow there minds,
The fight hasn't started, so nobody is losing'
No more of the thinking, tonight we are just doing'

Regrets just throw them out the window,
All the People who make you feel lonely
When you're not alone, just let them go
So Whatever you don't need,
Whatever you don't wish to bring,
Just leave it at your feet,
Tonight were gonna rule this town
And We won't accept defeat,
Tonight this deal goes down.."

Let's go out or Let's go get some,
We'll give out the orders and listen to no one,
No more of this lookin' like a deer in headlights,
Let's drive past the haters and blow there minds,

No more of the talking,  tonight we are just doing'

Let's start walking tall,
Not be stuck up but feel above it all,

So we aren't taking in any of it,
No more of the talking, just walkin'

Tonight this is what we are doing'
Tonight we are only doing'

Thundershock of Love

There's a Thundershock,
It tell's the woman inside you,
when you gotta rock,

It's like a bolt of lightning,

That make's you gotta bolt,

It's like of surge of energy,
Tell's you that you gotta protect the baby,
Tell's you that you gotta stand by the man,
Tell's you that You got to hold on to the
things that make you happy
For as long as you can,
And you can..

There's no sign of rain,
There ain't a cloud in the sky,
And The weatherman won't warn you,
About the Danger's that make you cry, cause'
When you find that your babies in trouble,
Your storm comes rollin' in,
And you rush out on the double,
It's sends a jolt right through you,
Sends a Shock up and down your spine,
Tell's you that you ain't got much time,
Tell's you that "I gotta save what's mine."

There's a Thundershock,
It tell's the man inside you,
when you gotta rock,

It's like a bolt of lightning,

That make's you gotta bolt,

It's like of surge of energy,
Tell's you that you gotta protect the baby,
Tell's you that you gotta stand by the woman,
Tell's you that You got to hold on to the
things that make you happy
For as long as you can,
And you can..

It's a Thundershock of love,
It just hit's you like a glove,
Springs you out of your chair,
Lifts up the hair on your neck, Now
You got someone you gotta protect,
You got someone you gotta defend.
When there is someone that you love,
The Thundershock of Love has no end.

The Wingman

I received a call from my old high school friend,
He Said " What the hell man where have you been?
Me and all the boys went out last night,
But I think we are going out tonight again,
Are you in?" "I don't think I can I've
been working really hard, but if you and the boys
want to come over here, you boys sure can.."
"Oh, Were going out to pick up girls"
"That's cool, But I want a Woman."

I'm working on an unknown woman,
Because I am, the number one Wingman,
Closing Deals, Working on the yard,
Shaking hands and Giving out my card,
Building a House and living in it for the time alone,
Cause someday a woman will come along and make it a home.
So, I'm Working hard for the kids that I don't have yet,
Yes I'm Working hard for a woman that I haven't yet met."

On night's that I can, I can be your Wingman,
But when it comes to me, I am my own damn man,
No more goin' out and watchin' cover bands,
No more hangovers and the one night stands,
It's Cuts and bruises up and down my hands,
Countless days of sunburns and farmer's tans,
I had a good run I know..
But now it's time for me to grow,
It's time for me to put away the boy
and become the man.."

So, I'm working on an unknown woman,
Because I am, my own damn Wingman,
Closing Deals, Working on the yard,
Shaking hands and Giving out my card,
Building a House and living in it for the time alone,
Cause someday a woman will come along and make it a home.
So, I'm Working hard for the kids that I don't have yet,
Yes I'm Working hard for a woman that I haven't yet met."

So if you are wonderin' what I'm doin'
wonderin' about all the time I'm losin'
So if you are wonderin' and not askin'
wonderin' what it is I'm tryin' to make happen..
I'm Working hard for the kids that I don't have yet,
I'm Working hard for a woman that I haven't yet met.
Because in the end I know, It will be time well spent,
So I'll continue working hard for a woman I haven't met yet."

The Way You Should Feel

How does it feel to be in the wreck,

With no one at bat and with no one on deck,

How does it feel to stand out in the cold,

With nowhere to turn and with no one to hold,

How does it feel to be under attack,

With no one to defend you or to have your back,

How does it feel to feel the way no one should feel,

Yes, How does it feel to feel the way no one should feel?

Wake up it's time to make peace with your past,

Hold on to these good days and make them last,

You don't have to take on that storm all alone,

When you know there is someone who can make you warm,

You Don't own all the problems of the world,

You can have a man who will call you his girl,

And cut it out with the thinking too much,

There are people who miss you and are craving for your touch,

There can be a man offering you his hand during this whole ordeal,

Now, How does it feel to feel the way you should feel,

Yes, How does it feel to feel the way you should feel?

One Last Shot

Back in the day, I would rush out gun's hot
Order up the one more, one last shot,
Shout my name out loud along with my ego,
Roll every dice and get lost at the table,
Get in all kinds of trouble with the law,
And Take home the next damzel that I saw,
I was desperatly looking for a way out,
I needed someone to remind me who I'm not..

And it took you to make me see,
It took you to make me Remember what I forgot,
It took you to make me Relise what I once wanted,
To Be The Man that I Once wanted to be.."

Back on that day, I would rush out gun's hot,
You were everything I needed, You were everything I wanted,
Shouted my name out loud and boosted up my ego,
Cuddle on the couch and watch the cable,
Stay up late and converse with my ma'
You became the only woman that I saw'
So here I stand while holding your hand,
Sayin' Thank you for makin' me wanna be,
Thank you for makin' me a better man."

And it took you to make me see,
It took you to make me Remember what I forgot,
It took you to make me Relise what I always wanted,
To Be The Man that I Once wanted to be..
To Become This Man that you now see."

Now on this day, I'm still rushin' out gun's hot,
Shouting out 1-2-3 and Here I come ready or not,
Lovin' like a Leo, Being called dad is my only ego,
And tryin' to sneak the dog food under the table,
Watin' on the next batch of kids to call me pa,
While Standin' beside the woman who started it all,
It took you to show me who I am and who I am not,
It took you to make me who I am and give me what I got.
It took you to give myself one last shot."

Deja Vu

There's Something going on here and I'm not sure what it is,
Somehow I got the feeling that I've already done this,
But Sometimes what feels like Deja Vu,
Turns out to be just another drunk night from the same ol'view..
You find yourself Lookin' at a very familar scene,
Maybe it's time for you to change up your routine,
You expect things to change,
But it never does, Because you never do,
Maybe it's time for something new.."

It's alright sometimes to be a little selfish,
Because it's never a good thing to be selfless,
So If you're tired of hearing the same o'l jokes,
Stop surrounding yourself with the same ol'soaks,
Somehow somewhere along your path,
you got thrown in with the loop,
And only you are the only one,
that can tell yourself that you Don't..
Or you can just Keep on tellin' yourself,
I know I'm destined for something,
And why the hell is God not letting me have it?.."

Take a good look, at where you're at,
Take a good look, at whom you attract,
Change you're way of thinkin'
You are more then just a pawn,
You don't have to keep singing along,
If you think you are better then this,
Then you will sing your own damn song..
And When the whole world see's that God made something new,
..Then the whole world will sing for you!"
