ALABAMA COLD CHORUS Nothing hurts worse than Alabama’s Cold Gives me a look, too late I see the sign Can’t believe I missed it / it’s coming but once again I know I’ve crossed her frozen line Wondering Why Nothin hurts worse than Alabama's Cold Gives me that look too late I see the sign Never saw it comin, Once again I know I've crossed her frozen line Wondering Why, Wondering Why Verse 1 Alabama she got to me Loving her was easy Showed me things I'd never known Took my heart and everything I owned VERSE 2 Seasons change Alabama did too Her heart went from warm to icy blue We vowed our passion never would die But now there's only coldness in her eyes BRIDGE I just want it how it used to be Back when lovin her was easy CHORUS Nothin hurts worse than Alabama's Cold Gives me that look too late I see the sign Never saw it comin, Once again I know I've crossed her frozen line Wondering Why, Wondering Why OUTRO Alabama Cold's got me burnin up inside Alabama Cold's got me wondering Alabama Cold is buring up my mind Wondering Why

DRIVE ME TO DRINKIN You're the kind of girl that drives me to drinking Lord you look good in those cut up blue jeans that tight old t-shirt is quite a sight You got that look that makes me nervous I try to talk but my mouths gone dry I usually got a line for all the ladies I know what they wanna hear But with you I need a shot of courage A little something to cure my fear CHORUS Break out the whiskey bottle I could use another box of wine I’d even drink some fruity cocktail I need a shot from that jar of shine I don't know what's drivin my thinking But you're the kind of girl that drives me to drinking VERSE I don't know why I'm uptight there ain’t no explanation I need to stop my mind from reeling With some Liquid medication I want to know what's on your mind But I'm feeling agitated Maybe I'll get the nerve to ask you When I'm a little more intoxicated CHORUS BRIDGE All the players want your attention They’re tryin to stake their claim If this liquor don't work no quicker I'm gonna be out of the game Guitar Thang CHORUS Our eyes meet and you're winking All the green lights start to blinking I still don't know what you're thinking You're the kind of girl that drives me to drinking

TAKE ME BACK TO ALABAMA Verse I'm out here on the far left coast Trying hard to make the most Of everything that this place can provide There's fancy food and skinny girls But from all that I've observed They’re all crazy it's kind of hard to hide Put me in the fastest lane To where the folks are half way sane CHORUS Get me back to Alabama Phoenix south to Casa Granda It's the place I wanna be where I can live my life carefree I don't care which road I take as long as I get back to the place Where I can live the life I planned Get me back to Alabam. VERSE They're all health nut wanna bes All tofu and gluten free I need to find something I can eat There's skin and bones And painted tans Whiten teeth and smokin bans Where can I find some relief Get me back to southern fried Sometime soon before I die CHORUS GUITAR THANG BRIDGE Sunshine's nice but 40 days Since it rained and there's a haze. I don't care what folks say this sucks I can't stand these traffic jams I'm leaving fast as I can Lord I hope this Chevy don't get stuck I'm missing corn and collard greens Southern girls in tight fit jeans CHORUS Get me back to Alabama I’ll detour through south Montana It's the place I wanna be Where I can live my life carefree I don't care which road I take As long as I get back to the place Where I can live the life I planned Get me back to Alabam

GO FOR A RIDE Verse I've been working hard pulling in overtime You've got it bad with your daily grind I've got something that you're gonna like Let's warm up the car and go for a ride CHORUS Let's ride out to the country hold hands just like we used to park down by the lake where the oak tree grows Talk about the times we've had just me and you Spread out the blanket and hold each other close Sing along with the radio Leave all our troubles behind Let's you and me Go For A Ride VERSE Remember the wink that was our secret sign When we had something special in mind We made that ol’ Chevy fly like the wind Come on let's go do that again CHORUS BRIDGE I feel like a King when you're next to me No place on earth I'd rather be CHORUS Let's drive out in the country hold hands just like we used to do park down by the lake where the oak tree grows talk bout the times that we've had just me and you spread out the blanket, hold each other close Sing along with the radio Leave our worries behind Let's you and me Go For A Ride Go For A Ride (repeat out)

IT'S YOU Verse A bolt of lightning lights up like ur smile I can see the sunshine when I look in your eyes I hope I don't mess things up this time Verse Did the earth move or did my heart shake The feeling that I'm feeling can't be a mistake Girl I hope that u don't change your mind CHORUS Do you know why I feel like this? In all the world you’re the perfect fit It's in everything you do. It's you Like the calm of a hurricane We touch we kiss you call my name So softly every time we make love If a drop of rain fell each time I knew that I can't get enough of you It’d turn a river into a raging flood CHORUS BRIDGE The thunder rolls and rain pours down But I’m standing on solid I smile about the love I’ve found It’s you CHORUS It's you

KEEP HOLDING ON Verse I see you slipping into the dark. Don't know what to do where do I start I know I can’t make this go away You try to tell me how it feels Riding around on your ferris wheel Up and down trying to holding on day by day CHORUS When you're tired take one more step When all hope is gone grab onto what is left When you feel no one is there you're not alone When it seems it’s all over, keep holding on Verse You're falling fast what do I do I can't fall into your hole with you But I’m scared of what will happen in the end You’ve reached of point of no return You've touched the fire and know it burns But your hurt can heal from the pain CHORUS BRIDGE You may have wandered off the path But you're gonna make your way back You’’ realize when you do. The love you've always had is waiting there for you Verse 3 Then there's a spark a ray of light You're coming back you believe that you might I'm standing by you doing the BEST I can Something there always sends you back You're strong enough to fight off the attack Don't you see your struggles are not in vain CHORUS

LOVE WALKS AWAY VERSE You say you want a man who’s gonna love ya Baby you ain’t letting it show If you keep on acting crazy Sooner or later he’s gonna let you go VERSE You wanna man to spend all his Take you out all over There ain’t enough gonna make you happy Sooner or later he’ll be letting you down CHORUS Sometimes you can’t get what you want Sometimes you take what you take Sometimes you don’t see what’s comin Sometimes love walks GUITAR THANG BRIDGE You can’t expect something for nothing Without getting pushed away VERSE You can Lie to yourself if you want to. But it won't change the way you are. In time they're all gonna see it They'll all know what you're looking for CHORUS Sometimes you can’t get what you Sometimes you take what you Sometimes you cant see what’s comin Sometimes love walks away

NASHVEGAS Verse I was born up in the Mountains Back in the Tennessee hills Never thought I'd ever leave the country life Looking for the city life thrills I figured out how to pick a mean guitar Wrote me a song or two Thought I'd try to see if I could make a buck like some other folks do, like some other folks do CHORUS Bright lights, big city Wildest town east of Mississippi Juke joints runnin up and down Broadway Everybody hopin that they’re gonna get a big break You start out tryin to imagine and Wind up living in a great big mansion That's why this town is so famous Everybody calls it NashVegas Verse Quit my job packed up everything I owned Jumped in my four wheel drive I'd never been out of Jefferson County Never even thought I would try Drove into town looking for a place to play Got a gig for nickels and dimes Wadn't too long had an offer for a road job Didn't take me long to decide Didn't take me long to decide CHORUS BRIDGE You hear the songs they’re playing on the radio This is where they wrote that country gold GUITAR THANG A big time star with a rhinestone suit on Hired me to open his act Got me some cash and a sweet heart record deal since then I' never looked back You know I never looked back CHORUS I was born up in the Mountains Back in the Tennessee hills
