    Amen

    I heard from a friend of a friend of a friend that
    You finally got rid of that girlfriend
    You finally came out of that love coma boy
    I've heard Mary Jane at the powder-puff beauty shop
    Sayin' that blond in her tube top
    She left our Jimmy for a boy in Illinois
    Someone give me an amen,
    Someone give me an amen.

    [Chorus:]
    Can I get a Thank God Hallelujah
    You finally saw what she was doing to ya
    Your mama called it and she was right
    Glad to see you saw the light.
    Whole town nearly hooped and hollered
    She drove away nobody stopped her
    Na na na na na na, I'll say it again
    Someone give me an amen.

    Yeah right, like I really coulda said something
    You wouldn't heard it if the train was coming
    Had your head so high in the clouds
    Oh I, I had a really good reason
    For hiding my feelings but now I can finally spit it out
    Someone give me an amen.
    Someone give me an amen.

    [Chorus:]
    Can I get a Thank God Hallelujah
    You finally saw what she was doing to ya
    Your mama called it and she was right
    Glad to see you saw the light.
    Whole town nearly hooped and hollered
    She drove away nobody stopped her
    Na na na na na, I'll say it again
    Someone give me an amen.

    I'm standing right here in front of you
    I think I love you too
    Can I get a Thank God Hallelujah
    Baby do you believe it, do you?
    Your mama called that she was right
    Glad to see you saw the light.
    Whole town nearly hooped and hollered
    The preacher's son and the farmer's daughter.
    Na na na na na, I'll say it again
    Someone give me an amen.
    Someone give me an amen.
    Na na na na na na na na na na na
    Na na na na na na na na na na na

    Swingin' Door

    You've got your Texas way of walking,
    You've got your sexy way of talking,
    I let you get all under my skin,
    But now your welcome has worn off and
    So next time you go, don't come back again,

    Cause your train don't stop here anymore,
    I ain't your gas-up rest stop, swinging door,
    You can't just walk in, walk out like so many times before,
    I ain't your swinging door,

    You've got a girl in every cow-town,
    You think I don't know how you cat around,
    I let your sweet talk get my guard down,
    Took me a while to figure you out,
    But I've got you figured all out now,

    And your train don't stop here anymore,
    I ain't your gas-up rest stop, swinging door,
    You can't just walk in, walk out like so many time before,
    I ain't your swinging door,

    You'd best make up your mind,
    Cause if you go you ain't coming back this time,

    Your train don't stop here anymore,
    I ain't your quick stop, walk up, open 24
    You can't just drop in, drop out, treat me like your candy store,

    Your train don't stop here anymore,
    I ain't your gas-up rest stop, swinging door,
    You can't just walk in, walk out like so many times before,
    I ain't your swinging door,
    I ain't your swinging door.

    Skinny Dippin'

    I warned you that the tank was low
    Shoulda stopped for gas 10 miles ago
    Back in Prairie Grove
    N’ now we’re stuck, n’ just our luck
    It’s too hot to say I told you so
    But I told you so
    As I recall my Uncle Paul
    Talked about a swimming hole not far from here
    There’s no iced tea, no a/c
    I guess we’ll just have to cool off naturally

    Chorus
    Close your eyes, uh-uh, no peeking
    Are you thinking what I’m thinking
    Wanna go-o-o-o-o
    Sweet temptation in the cool blue water
    Probably shouldn’t but I think we oughta
    Go-o-o-o-o-o-o
    It ain’t no thing
    Pretty sure it ain’t no sin
    Let’s go skinny dippin’

    You’re a boy, I’m a girl
    But I ain’t scared to give it a whirl if you’re not
    We can hang our clothes on a big oak tree
    Let’s just hope nobody sees
    But if they do so what
    You say one, and I’ll say two
    Right on three, just me and you in our birthday suits

    Repeat Chorus

    Bridge
    The birds and bees and frogs are free
    You should come along with me, oh

    Repeat Chorus

    Too Good To Be True

    You walked in shining brighter than a headlight
    Turning every head like a diamond in a coal mine
    Packing more punch than a Mississippi fist fight
    Oh oh, oh my my
    Walked my way took my hand and said “let’s go”
    Had more game than the Mandalay casino
    Thought I hit the jackpot I was on a good roll
    Shows you what I know

    Chorus
    Too good to be true
    Like diamonds on the soles of my shoes
    Like money falling outta the blue
    Don’t be fooled
    He ain’t nothing but too good to be real
    Don’t believe the way he’s makin’ you feel
    He’ll break your pretty heart in two
    Mama told me ‘bout boys like you
    Too good to be true

    Before I knew it my heartstrings unwound
    I fell faster than a cannonball straight down
    Everybody talking all over this town
    Look there he goes again
    Lie, lie, lie like a politician
    Shoulda read the headlines, paid more attention
    To my suspicions, my intuition…I shoulda listened

    Repeat Chorus

    I shoulda seen it from a mile away
    I shoulda called a spade a spade
    I shoulda know that you were…

    Repeat Chorus

    Too good to be true, yeah!
    You’re just too good to be
    You’re just too good to be
    You’re just too good to be…true

    You’re just too good to be
    You’re just too good to be
    You’re just too good to be…true

    Last Supper

    Look at the couple in the corner booth
    Looks a lot like me and you
    She's looking out at the window he's
    Staring down at his shoes

    She gets another glass of cabernet
    She searching hard for somethin' to say
    He's got that little too late look
    On his already gone face

    Look through each other like a piece of glass
    Is that what happens when the years fly past
    Lately, I’ve been feeling like that

    Chorus 1
    Oh, oh
    Is it time for a comin' to Jesus
    Baby tell me that won’t be us
    Is that all we are to each other?
    Could it be our last supper

    Tell me you’re uncomfortably numb
    I can’t imagine I’m the only one
    Is goodbye on the tip of your tongue, any love left?
    Gotta be some

    Why'd you bring me to my favorite place?
    A little wine and everything's ok
    Are we really gonna end this way

    Repeat Chorus 1

    Bridge
    You break the bread and you break my heart
    You raise as glass as we fall apart

    Chorus 2
    Oh, oh
    Guess it’s time for a comin' to Jesus
    Looks like that just might be us
    Is that all we are to each other?
    Looks like it’s our last supper

    Look at the couple in the corner booth
    Looks a lot like me and you

    Feels So Real

    It was two years ago and it was yesterday
    It might not make sense
    But that's just the way it feels to me

    I'm as bad as an old washing machine
    Spinning 'round but I never get clean
    Don't you see

    'Cause baby, you're gone but you're like the wind
    Out of the calm you come back again
    Rattling the windows of my painted shut heart
    Feels so real

    Inside I still got this breaking in my chest
    Don't feel like flesh, it feels like glass
    And glass shatters

    Oh, outside I'm not leather yet
    But these days I'm tougher than I ever thought I'd get
    Or ever wanna be and the heart of the matter

    Is baby, you're gone but you're like the wind
    Out of the calm you come back again
    Rattling the windows of my painted shut heart, oh
    Feels so real, feels so real

    Pulling down, Jupiter, would be much easier
    Swimming in the sky that would be a breeze
    Than finding a magic cure, help me remember
    You're nothing but a memory, yeah

    Baby, you're gone but you're like the wind
    Out of the calm you come back again
    Rattling the windows of my painted shut heart
    Feels so real, feels so real

    It was two years ago and it was yesterday
    (Oh, it feels so real, oh)
    Might not make sense
    But that's just the way it feels to me

    I gotta say
    Boy, after only just a couple dates
    You're hands down out right blowing my mind
    In nearly every single way

    You're amazing and yet
    There's only so much I can get
    From picnics, long walks, flowers and talks
    So baby, here's what I suggest
    It's time I see you belly up to a bar
    How ‘bout you show me what kinda cowboy you are

    Chorus
    Are you a Kenny tequila
    Buffet margarita
    Or an Alan Jackson hurricane
    Are you a good time
    Flask of moonshine
    Going George Strait to my brain
    A girl can tell a lot
    About a boy in one shot
    I gotta know you gotta Bocephus side
    What's in the cup, order it up
    Who am I drinking tonight

    You might not have guessed
    Judging by my heels and lacy dress
    I'm a Wynette, Gretchen, Loretta Lynn
    I've learned from the best
    Woman like that know how to throw a few back
    We gotta have a man who can keep up with all that

    Repeat Chorus

    Bridge
    So pick your poison
    And make it two
    Which kinda trouble are we getting into

    Repeat Chorus

    What’s in the cup, order it up
    Who am I drinkin’
    Another round throwin’ ‘em down
    Boy what ya thinking
    What’s in the cup order it up
    Who am I drinking tonight

    Liar

    I helped you find her diamond ring
    You made me try it on and everything
    Tomorrow you both say “I do”
    I’ll be there cause that's what best friends do

    I should win an Oscar
    Best actress in a show
    You always see me smilin'
    Little do you know

    Chorus
    I'm lying, I'm a liar
    The biggest liar in the world
    I’m crying, I'm crying
    Like I've never cried before

    I know you always heard me say
    You'll meet the perfect girl one day
    The night you called and told me the news
    I said I couldn't be more thrilled for you

    This might be funny timing
    Probably doesn’t matter now
    I never thought I’d say this
    But I just figured out

    Repeat Chorus

    If I ever tell you
    That I've found the perfect man
    That he's everything
    I ever wanted
    Just as I had planned

    Repeat Chorus

    I helped you find her diamond ring
    You made me try it on and everything

    Cherry Pie

    To my first pony Cherry Pie
    From the little girl you taught to fly
    Into the sun
    To Ms. Thornton from 3rd grade
    I remember all the times you stayed
    Till Daddy picked me up

    Chorus
    Oh, did you ever know
    Did I ever tell you so
    Oh, I hope you understand
    You have so much to do with who I am

    To my older brother Wes
    I worshiped everything you did and said
    I hope it didn’t bother you
    To Grandma Melva and Grandpa Len
    What I’d give just to be 5 again
    Singing in your living room

    Repeat Chorus

    To Arkansas summer wind
    To fields that never end
    To anyone that called me friend
    All the blessings from above
    Mama’s kiss and Daddy’s hugs
    I didn’t say it near enough
    Thank you for who I am

    Repeat Chorus

    To my first pony Cherry Pie
    From the little girl you taught to fly

    Christ Alone

    When I fly off this mortal earth
    And I’m measured up by depth and girth
    The Father says now what’s he worth
    May he see Jesus death and birth

    Don’t measure me by dollar signs
    Or bricks and mortar you may find
    By Christ alone will I be found
    Worthy of that golden crown
    Worthy of that golden crown

    The value of this life I’ve lived
    How did I love, did I forgive
    Where did my treasure truly lay
    How did I start and end each day

    Don’t measure me by battles won
    Or some good deed that I have done
    By Christ alone will I be found
    Worthy of that golden crown
    Worthy of that golden crown

    May be a pauper or a king
    Have nothing or have everything
    The question begs, do you belong
    Do you sing a resurrection song

    Measured by the master’s hand
    On only one truth can we stand
    By Christ alone will we be found
    Worthy of that golden crown
    Worthy of that golden crown

    Roots (Deluxe Version)

    Now I know you’re needing
    You're some good ol’ rock ‘n roll
    And I've been known to sing along
    To the Rolling Stones
    But on a night like this
    Tonight I miss
    The sunny side of the mountain

    Chorus
    I need that High Lonesome sound
    I need a blue moon shinin' down
    I need some mandolin
    Loretta Lynn won’t you take me back home
    Caller holler dosy doe
    Hit the floor and let it go
    My feet are needin’ some cotton-eyed Joe
    Lord my roots are startin' to show

    I wanna walk barefoot down my daddy’s red dirt road
    I want some country air where the world is turnin’ slow
    Where all I hear
    In my ears
    Is the sound of the hills
    Standin' still….

    Chorus x2

    Little Bird (Deluxe Version)

    Little bird, come to my window
    And sing about the break of day
    Little bird, come from the meadow
    And tell me about your lonely way

    CHORUS
    I don’t wanna put you in a cage
    I don’t wanna clip your wings
    I don’t wanna try to make you stay
    I just wanna hear you sing
    I just wanna hear you sing

    Little bird, please bring the morning
    The night is moving mighty slow
    Little bird, push back the darkness
    Your light is all I need to know

    Chorus

    La la la la la, La la la la la, La la la la la
    I just wanna hear you sing

    Little bird, I long to ask you
    If I could fly would you fly with me

    Chorus
    La la la la la
    I just wanna hear you sing
    La la la la la
    I just wanna hear you sing

    Wherever I Go (Deluxe Version)

    An American life and American town
    Watchin' wheat fields dance till the sun went down
    Some dream close and some dream far
    We all wished on the same big star
    But me I threw my ^ dreams in the ^back of a getaway car

    Checkin’ my rear view
    I can still see you
    Mama we both knew

    CHORUS
    Hearts like mine need open sky to grow
    And every mile reminds me I’m never alone
    Cause every memory, everything you gave me, is written here on my soul
    Yeah I’m taking my home wherever I go

    If I never left, if I woulda stayed
    I'm sure I'd have a sweet little baby and different name
    But my front porch is has a highway sign
    Im falling asleep to the engine's whine
    my picket fence is on 18 wheels and Im doing just fine

    I’m still the little girl you knew
    Singing in our living room
    Might be a different town a different view
    But Mama I’m still singing to you

    Chorus x2
