Meet the new love same as the old love That’s the way it’s always been But I knew in an instant, this time it’s different You had me the moment you walked in (Chorus) Only you know how To turn my heart inside out Only you know how to find the best in me So crank me up and love me loud Till we blow the speakers out Cause baby there’s no doubt The love I need right now Only you, only you know how I’m not use to little things you do When you wake me with a kiss But seeing you in my T-shirt, baby I’m a believer I could wake up everyday like this (Chorus) How to be everything to me Your everything I need (Chorus) Only you know how Only you know how

Hotels and coffee shops Airports and truck stops every moment I've got I'm thinking of you Big cities small towns Every time I turn around I’m only hearing one sound Baby it’s you (Chorus) When it’s late in the evening And you feel that feeling When you think you hear me breathing And want to pull me close to you It’s just me missing you Got a folded up photograph Your smile always makes me laugh Gonna have to make it last Till I get home Till I get you alone (Chorus) I miss the way you kiss me when you know I know you own me I miss the way you whisper baby come and cure the lonely I miss the way you miss me when you know I got to leave again When it’s late in the evening And you feel that feeling When you think you hear me breathing And want to pull me close to you Baby I feel it to But it’s just me missing you It’s just me missing you

Wild Weekend 03:19
Fish ain’t bitin’, but the girls look so invitin’ In their cut off jeans by the camp fire Gonna bang on guitar, shot gun a PBR Till we’re buzzin’ like live wires Steaks are grillin’, beer is chillin’ Nothin’ killin’ this Friday night (Chorus) Gonna get wild, gonna get crazy Gonna light it up again Lovin’ this life, lovin’ these ladies The good times never end What a wild weekend Wouldn’t you know somebody called the 5-0 Guess we made too much noise Lucky for us cops love Bocephus Just a couple of good ol’ boys We’re still singin’, dancin’ and drinkin’ We ain’t thinkin’ of slowin’ down (Chorus) We’re still singing, dancin’ and drinking No ones thinkin’ of slowin’ down (Chorus X2) What a wild, wild weekend
4.
I look left and right, all I see is beach Baby, let’s get some of that sand underneath our feet We can’t afford Hawaii or the Keys Take a look around, we got all we need (Chorus) There’s a light breeze blowing our cares away Listen to the sound of the crashin’ waves I can get use to this everyday We’re only three hours down a four lane road But half a million miles from life back home The “Best of my Love” playing on the radio A little romance, a little slow dance with the love of my life That’s my kind of paradise Never wanted you more than I do right now In that little sun dress and your long hair fallin’ down This is a piece of Heaven that we found So let’s laugh and love, dance until the tide goes out (Chorus) A little romance, a little slow dance with the love of my life That’s my kind of paradise You’re my kind of paradise
5.
This used to be a stop sign town Look at the all traffic lights now It’s grown by leaps and bounds, the years I've been away The cross stands high at the Church of Christ Now it’s lit by the bingo sign The winners on Friday night are the sinners on Sunday (Chorus) You can tear it down build it back up Run out the farmers and the pick-up trucks Black top every winding country road Turn the five-and-dime into a high-rise On a main street I barely recognize But in my eyes it’s always gonna be A small town to me We used to swim in Decker’s pond Land changed hands with the old man gone He taught me how to fish along the banks of that north shore I know he’d roll over in his grave If he knew that his field’s been paved Just so city folks can save at one more big box store (Chorus) This used to be a stop sign town (Chorus) Yeah, in my eyes it’s always gonna be A small town to me A small town to me
6.
It don't always show, but I hope you know You hold me in the palm of your hands So please keep the faith in the promise I made That I'll be your better man I know sorry is never enough I know words only mean so much (Chorus) As long as it takes I swear I'll find a way To make up for all my mistakes, everyday Everything that I do I’ll give you love worth falling into Everyday baby As long as it takes As long as it takes me to you All my regrets, my haven't done yets Are piling up year after year I don't put you down, I don't run around But that don't mean I'm always here I’m trying to be what you deserve With your heart as my witness, mark my words (Chorus) It don't always show, but I hope you know (Chorus) Whatever it takes As long as it takes me to you As long as it takes me to you

All of Me 03:23
I’m goin’ to heaven but I raise hell I might do wrong but I mean well I live for NASCAR and NFL Unless the Vikings lose I only gamble with a winning bet I’ve got a good name and no bad debts I know I ain’t settled down yet But I just might with you Need I remind you again That good ol’ boys grow up to be good men (Chorus) That’s me, all of me What you get is what you see The only man I know how to be If you believe in me I’ll give you anything you need So take me as I am and I guarantee You’ll have all of me I like Sunday mornings and Saturday nights Dark shades and Marlboro Lights I might disagree but I don't fight That's just not my style I'm long on dreams short on plans With a new love and a beat up van But I'll build a life with these two hands If you can wait a while I hope I’m good enough for you Cause there’s no one else I’m trying to turn in to (Chorus X2) You’ll have all of me That’s all of me

Friday night with a warm Bud Light and reruns of Entourage Tired of being bored so I fired up the Ford and I got the hell out of dodge Picked up the boys to go make some noise, they knew what I had in mind Three good buddies looking for honeys, and they ain’t hard to find (Chorus) The weekend's here from Cleveland to Cancun So roll down the window and follow the perfume To a fancy club or roadside bar Dressed to the nines in a line out the front door One glass of wine and they're rockin’ the dance floor Worth every penny of the cover charge There’s always a party where the girls are Every honky-tonk and restaurant plays the girls favorite tunes They know it’ll blow if the ladies don’t show and there’s nothing but a bunch of dudes Yeah the girls make the scene in their painted on jeans, letting all the good stuff show And I’m willing to bet there’s ten Juliet’s for each of us Romeos (Chorus x2) There’s always a party where the girls are There’s always a party where the girls are
9.
Still hits me when I hear her name, like breakin’ up all over again Friends ask me where she’s been, haven’t seen us together since when I hide behind a smile and just pretend I don’t know or care Deep down in my heart I know right where I know she’s there (Chorus I) She’s the first thought when I wake alone in bed The only dream I never forget She’s singin’ through my radio everywhere I go She’s everywhere I am I quit drivin’ down memory lane and stoppin’ by our favorite place Tried to drown the past with cheap whiskey and blind dates When small talk is about old flames, there’s still a fire inside But nothing puts her out of my mind I always find (Chorus II) She’s the phone call I hope her voice says “how ya been”? The empty chair when I’m hangin’ with my friends She’s the one wish to be back in my arms again She’s everywhere I am She’s moved on, she’s long gone Still I keep hearing our song (Chorus I) (Chorus II) Yeah, she’s everywhere I am She’s everywhere I am Everywhere I am
10.
Showed up late on Friday, snuck out around noon Made the most of my weekend, but Monday came too soon I've been burning this candle, both ends every day I've got a new way to handle what life throws my way (Chorus I) I'll take it with a grain of salt Splash of lime in my alcohol Just Jose Cuervo and me Toe tappin’ on my two left feet Everything’s gonna be just fine The sun can't always shine So if a little rain should fall I'll take it with a grain of salt Got a call from the boss man, said he's letting me go So I shipped my farmer's tan down to old Mexico Still got a mortgage, still got bills I can't pay But I'm in no hurry, my worries I wash them away (Chorus II) I'll take it with a grain of salt Splash of lime in my alcohol Sun kissed senoritas and me A little blanket on a sandy beach Everything’s gonna be just fine Down here the sun always shines But if a little rain should fall I'll take it with a grain of salt There’s no cure for the blues like the blue of the ocean And beautiful girls in bikinis and coconut lotion Asking me would I like one more tropical potion, uh huh I would (Chorus II) And if a little rain should fall I'll take it with a grain of salt T-E-Q-U-I-L-A (Chorus II) (Chorus I)
