The Countdown
Jaren Johnston (Sony)/Ryder Lee (ATVHarmony), Manny Medina (Texa Rae Music)
Sittin wide awake in the motel dark
Neon buzzing and my lonely heart
Wonderin what you're doin, what you're wearin tonight
I wanna be where you are
Oh I can feel the rhythm of the wheels going round
I play a song and I turn it up loud
Every turn, every town, every city, every minute
I'm counting down
Chorus
Five long days to you I sped
Three thousand miles just to get to the one
Whoa-oh-oh
You know you're the one
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Its just five more miles, four streets ahead
Three stop lights til I, I get to the one
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
You know you're the one Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Half way home don't know if I can last
Light another cigarette
Put your picture on the dash
I'm burning both ends
And I can't go too fast, no
Oh I can feel the rhythm of the wheels going round
I play our song and I turn it up loud
Every turn, every town, every city, every minute
I'm counting down
Chorus
Five long days to you I sped
Three thousand miles just to get to the one
Whoa-oh-oh
You know you're the one
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Its just five more miles, four streets ahead
Three stop lights til I, I get to the one
Whoa-oh-oh
You know you're the one
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
This is the countdown to you
The countdown to you
Repeat Chorus
This is the countdown to you

I never dreamed that it would in this way
Shattered pieces of my broken heart fill this empty room
I close my eyes to try to see your face
As I’m Clinging to the fading trace of your perfume
Wish I could make myself believe
Everything you told me
Chorus
Someday Someday
I would understand why you said goodbye
Someday some way
I can let you go and move on with my life
I’m waiting waiting to open up my eyes and feel alive in a better place
It’t hasn’t happened baby
Maybe someday
You told me it would only take a little time
And I’d get to where I wouldn’t think about you any more
And I should probably hate you for these tears of mine
Girl I tried but I can’t love you any less than I did before
There are days when I can barely breath
Reliving what you said to me
Chorus
Someday Someday
I would understand why you said goodbye
Someday some way
I can let you go and move on with my life
I’m waiting waiting to open up my eyes and feel alive in a better place
It’t hasn’t happened baby
Maybe someday
Everywhere I look theres a part of you reminding me
What could have been what used to be
Will it ever end I’m not convinced
How Can She Be Everywhere
Dean Sams (Last Song Standing)BMI Admin Clearbox Rights, Tim Nichols (This Music)BMI, Richie McDonald(NuSlate Music)BMI Admin Clearbox Rights
We had the rings we had the church
The mints the nuts the punch the works
Coming down the isle her feet started freezing
The next thing I know my bride is leaving
I decided I could use a little space
But everywhere I go I still see her face
Chorus
2 am Vegas strip, Big and Rich there she is
Disneyworld, Taj Mahal It’s a small world after all
I see her in the strangest places
Fenway Park to Talladega
Non stop flight to Tokyo
Guess who’s on the exit row
Rockin New Years Eve in Time Square
How can she be everywhere
I close my eyes and try to sleep
She’s in my head my bed my dreams
Could be a figment of my imagination
I mean how can she be at every single destination
I’ve been everywhere on Gods green earth
There ain’t no way to get a way from her
Chorus
2 am Vegas strip, Big and Rich there she is
Disneyworld Taj Mahal, It’s a small world after all
I see her in the strangest places
Fenway Park to Talladega
Non stop flight to Tokyo
Guess who’s on the exit row
Rockin New Years Eve in Time Square
How can she be everywhere
She just appears right out of thin air
Like Houdini she can be anywhere
Chorus
2 am Sunset strip Ashton Kutcher there she is
Disneyland, Niagara Falls, It’s a small world after all
Pretty Good Day

12-1-11
It’s a pretty good day when you read the sports page
And your teams winning
Then you scan the obituaries and your name ain’t in em
It’s a pretty good day when you get to complain
That the sun ain’t shinning
But you put on your shades anyway
Cause you know theres a silver linning
Chorus
Hey hey hey
It’s always a pretty good day
When I get to see your face
Whenever I get to say
That I love you and you say me too
And I know that’s all I need
At the end of the day
It’s a pretty good day to be me
It’s a pretty good day when your out on the lake
And the fish ain’t biting
So you just set there and catch your share
of some piece and quite
It’s a pretty good day when your on your way
And you like where your going
When you got what you want and you want what you got
And your wise enough to know it
Chorus
Hey hey hey
It’s always a pretty good day
When I get to see your face
Whenever I get to say
That I love you and you say me too
And I know that’s all I really need
At the end of the day it’s a pretty good day to be me
It’s been a pretty good ride around the sun
It’s been a pretty good day good week good month
It’s been a pretty good year
I’m glad I’m here
With My Eyes Open
Corey Batten (I Wan’t To Hold Your Songs) BMI, Don Mescall (Chrysalis Songs) BMI
Do you know what I see
In those eyes looking back at me
Every safe road that ever brings me home
Every place I wanna be
every secret I’ll never keep
Every last kiss every night before I go to sleep
Every thing I have every thing I’ll ever want
Chorus
I’m so in love
when I look in those eyes
I can’t look deep enough into you
The further I fall the further I want to
I look at you I see the man I wanna be
My whole life planned out In front of me
Can’t imagine how far this dream is going
There’s no telling how far this dream is
God only knows how far this dream is going
Cause that’s just with my eyes open
Do know what its like
Lying here in your arms tonight
Your soft breath falling on my skin
Were almost surrendering
But wait for one more kiss
Baby your too beautiful
Chorus
I’m so in love when I look in those eyes
I can’t look deep enough into you
The further I fall the further I want to
I look at you I see the man I wanna be
My whole life planned out In front of me
Can’t imagine how far this dream is going
Cause that’s just with my eyes open
Ah you make me feel alive
Party All Day
Jerry Williams (Rite Tune Music) BMI, Frank Myers (Meleva Music) BMI, Michael Britt (Bull Chip Ditties) BMI Admin, Richie McDonald (NuSlate Music) BMI Admin Clearbox Rights
Summertime's here the days are getting longer
That get outside feelings getting stronger
Load up the boats and get 'em on the water and throw out a line
Pull off your shirts and rub a little screen on
Put on your shades it's time to get your tan on
Pull out and pop the top on a cold one and have a good time
I can taste those ribs and barbecue sauce
No time like now for a little time off
Chorus
That's how we roll that's how we rock
We roll and rock and rock and roll the fun never stops
I wanna party all day
I don't wanna work, I just wanna play
I wanna party all day
Lay in the sun watch the blues blow away
Head out to rock cove and hang at the sand bar
pontoons and houseboats rockin it real hard
Jack on ice and shine in a glass jar
Who needs a shot
When the sun goes down will build us a bonfire
Wont take long to find us a live wires
Pull out guitars and start us beach chior yall sing a long
We’ll crash where we land and We’ll all sleep inWhen noon comes up will do it again
Chorus
That's how we roll that's how we rock
We roll and rock and rock and roll the fun never stops
I wanna party all day
I don't wanna work i just wanna play
I Wanna Party All Day
Lay In The Sun Watch The Blues Blow Away
All The Girls Got There Hands Up
Dancing Round With Their Red Cups
Shaking Those Tan Lines
Just Might Make A Man Go Blind
Life As We Know It

My dad tried to tell me
Like his dad tried to tell him
So I wouldn’t make
The same mistakes that they did
But young ears don’t listen
It’s the human condition
So the same lesson’s learned
Again and again
Seems no amount of preachin’
Can save us from stupid
That long road to wisdom
Winds its way through it
Chorus
We’re gonna hit some walls
We’re gonna need some luck
Some doors will open, hearts will get broken
You can play it safe,
You can risk it all
Sometimes you nail it, sometimes you blow it
It ain’t always pretty but...
It’s life as we know it
Some things we bring
All on ourselves
No blame to pass on
To anybody else
Then lightning can strike
With no cloud in the sky
And the innocent deal with
The hand that they’re dealt
Life’s not black and white
Not all right or wrong
It’s beautiful and tragic
You blink and it’s gone
Chorus
We’re gonna hit some walls
We’re gonna need some luck
Some doors will open, hearts will get broken
You can play it safe,
You can risk it all
Sometimes you nail it, sometimes you blow it
It ain’t always pretty but...
It’s life as we know it
If It Wasn’t For You
Marv Green (Warnier Tamerlane/ The Good The Bad The Ugly Pub) BMI, Dean Sams (Last Song Standing) BMI Admin Clearbox Rights,
Richie McDonald (NuSlate Music) BMI Admin Clearbox Rights
Can’t help but think sometimes
Baby about you and I
What if we’d never met
That thought scares me to death
Rewind to that first look
And that little chance you took
You sure walked out on a limb
Oh Thank God you did
Knowing what I’d do
Chorus
If it wasn’t for you
I wouldn’t know what love is
I’d still be walking round
Looking into strangers faces part of a lonely crowd
I’d still be dreaming dreams that never come true
If it wasn’t for you
I wouldn’t know what it means
To have everything
Someone that has my heart
No matter where they are
I wouldn’t know what it’s like
To go to sleep each night
Lying here in the dark
The whole world in my arms
Feeling the way I you do
Chorus
If it wasn’t for you
I wouldn’t know what love is
I’d still be walking round
Looking into strangers faces
Part of a lonely crowd
I’d still dreaming dreams that never come true
If it wasn’t for you
If it wasn’t for you
This house wouldn’t be a home
It’d just be doors and walls
I wouldn’t know the sound of laughter
Running up and down these halls
I’d still dreaming dreams that never come true
If it wasn’t for you
I Miss When
Jim Beavers (Beavertime Tunes BMI), Jonathan!Singleton (Sony/ATV!Tree!Publishing)
I can still hear my boombox boomin shakin my bedroom walls
Turn it down boy that hair metal noise don’t sound like music at all
I can still see that next door neighbor girl face down in the sun
On her trampoline with that little string of her bikini top undone
Chorus
I miss when time moved slower and too loud sounded good
And work meant pushin a mower all over my neighborhood
I miss when a’s and b’s were all I had to worry about
And love was seven minutes in heaven and spinnin a bottle around
I can still smell mama’s fried chicken in the kitchen right after church
Every sunday’d be a pickup game
In the yard til somebody got hurt
I can still feel my knees buckle
With the taste of that first kiss
Bubblegum mixed with cherry chapstick and i couldn’t wait to do it again
Chorus
I miss when time moved slower and too loud sounded good
And work meant pushin a mower all over my neighborhood
I miss when a’s and b’s were all i had to worry about
And love was seven minutes in heaven and spinnin a bottle around
I miss when time moved slower and too loud sounded good
And work meant pushin a mower all over my neighborhood
I miss when a’s and b’s were all i had to worry about
And love was seven minutes in heaven and spinnin a bottle around
Yeah love was seven minutes in heaven
And spinnin a bottle around
Yeah i miss when
I Did It For The Girl

High up on lake Ray Hubbard Bridge
All the boys dared me to jump
Before I could think or blink, I was air born
I knew Rebecca had her eye on me
when I came up for air
She said boy you're crazy
I nearly died but she thought that i was king of the world
Chorus
I did it for the girl with that pretty red sun dress on
That girl that kept me tore up all summer long
anything to keep her kissin', huggin', lovin' on me every minute
I did it, I did it for the girl
A couple years on down the road I asked Rebecca to marry me I traded in that gold corvette for a diamond ring
I worked double shifts January through June to give her that Jamaican honeymoon when the plane hit the sky with her by my side I was king of the world

Anything and everything I've done since then has been
Just The Rain
Richie McDonald (NuSlate Music) BMI, Jeremy Busey (Buzzcut Music) SESAC
There’s an empty front porch rockin’ chair
And a rusty old tin roof
A lonely silence fills the air
And I can still feel you
Cars and trucks all slow down
Just to stare at me
I’ll smile and wave
Cuz I know they don’t see
This old town must think I’m crazy
Chorus
Cuz I can feel you on my skin
But to them it’s only the wind
And I can feel the warmth of your touch
But to them it’s just another noonday sun
I know how bad you wanna to be here now
When I look up and see those teardrops coming down
I look around
And think what a shame
They think it’s just the rain
I can hear you whisper when the leaves fall to the ground
I can see you smiling through a rainbow in the clouds
How someone could be so close
And still so far away
Guess they’ll never understand
And I just can’t explain
Yea I know it sounds insane
Chorus
But I can feel you on my skin
But to them it’s only the wind
And I can feel the warmth of your touch
But to them it’s just another noonday sun
I know how bad you wanna to be here now
When I look up and see those teardrops coming down
I look around
And think what a shame
They think it’s just the rain
I swear
It’s almost like you never went anywhere
I know how bad you wanna to be here now
When I look up and see those teardrops falling down
I still look around
And think what a shame
They think it’s just the rain
Oh Yeah

Back in the day we were just kids
Pawnshop guitars and big ideas
Moving paint cans and setting up amps
Two car garage ready to jam
We butchered Sweet Home and Smoke On The Water
Thought we were cool couldn’t get any hotter
When the pretty girls on the block would come watch us play
We could hear em say
Chorus
Yeah Yeah Yeah oh Yeah
We could hear em say
Yeah Yeah Yeah oh Yeah
Those good ol days turned into nights
From smokey bars to our name in lights
From a van to a bus playing sold out shows
A million miles down a million more to go
Having more fun than the law should allow
Twenty years later you can still hear the crowd scream
Let us hear ya sing
Chorus
Yeah Yeah Yeah oh Yeah
Let us hear ya sing
Yeah Yeah Yeah oh Yeah
To the crew setting up and tearing it down
Busting there butts on our little playground
Thank you boys for another great show
And to all the fans we want you know
Will never forget cause we know it’s true
We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you
Before we leave tonight tonight to rock another town
Come on and sing it loud
Chorus
Yeah Yeah Yeah oh Yeah
Come on and sing it loud
Yeah Yeah Yeah oh Yeah
And Monday morning when ya go to work
You can say ya got the t-shirt
Yeah
