Outlaws Like Me

1. Redneck Side

Lyrics

She takes me to a party
Dressed up in city clothes
Pretendin’ I’m somebody
Everybody oughta know
But once I get a cold beer in my hand
There ain’t no mistakin’ who I am

Chorus
I can’t hide my redneck side
It’s in my blood til the day I die
When I start havin’ a real good time
No I can’t hide my redneck side

I went to meet her family
For a weekend in the sun
A big house on the ocean
Man we were really havin’ fun
Til they caught me in the pool at 2am
Wearin’ nothin’ but a farmer’s tan

Repeat Chorus

I like guitars in my music
And muscle in my cars
And I like girls that hang out in bars
No one can change the way they are and

Repeat Chorus

No I can’t hide my redneck side
I can’t hide my redneck side
No I can’t

2. My Kind Of Woman

Lyrics

She likes an ice cold Bud pressed against her hand
Standin’ on the porch lookin’ ‘cross our land
Seein’ a bass hit that top water
Knew that was my kind of woman first time I saw her

Chorus
Yeah she looks good on my tractor
Good in my truck
Good on our bed
When the sun comes up
She’s good with a cane pole
Good with a gun
Well its cornbread and sweet tea
Where she’s from
She’s my kind of woman
Good as they come

She’d rather be on the lake than in the mall
Or in a duck blind at daylight blowing that call
She likes to get hog wild in the middle of the day
Yeah my kind of woman likes to roll in the hay

Repeat Chorus

Yep yep

Repeat Chorus

Yeah she’s my kind of woman
Good as they come
Ah she hunts and fishes and looks good in camouflage
She can even drive my boat

3. If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away

Lyrics

Every day I drive to work across Flint River Bridge
A hundred yards from the spot where me and Grandpa fished
There's a piece of his old fruit stand on the side of Sawmill Road
He'd be there peelin' peaches if it was twenty years ago
And what I wouldn't give
To ride around in that old truck with him

Chorus
If heaven wasn't so far away
I'd pack up the kids and go for the day
Introduce them to their Grandpa
Watch 'em laugh at the way he talked
Find my long lost cousin John
The one we left back in Vietnam
Show him a picture of his daughter now
She's a doctor and he'd be proud
Tell em we'd be back in a couple of days
In the rear view mirror we'd all watch 'em wave
Yeah, and losing them wouldn't be so hard to take
If heaven wasn't so far away

I'd hug all three of those girls we lost from the class of '99
And I'd find my bird dog Bo and take him huntin' one more time
Ask Hank why he took those pills back in '53
And Janis to sing the second verse of "Me and Bobby McGee"
Sit on a cloud and visit for a while
It'd do me good just to see them smile

Repeat Chorus

If heaven wasn't so far
If heaven wasn't so far away
So far away
So far away
So far away

4. Run Out Of Honky Tonks

Lyrics

Midnight in Albuquerque
Drunk again on a little Wild Turkey
Damned if her memory didn’t show up right on time
I’ve driven through the rain, the snow and ice
I ain’t hit the same town twice
Just lookin’ for a place I figured she couldn’t find
I thought by now she’d a left me alone
Turned around and headed back home
And just let me be
Hell what does she want with me

Chorus
Bartender set ‘em up
Hell as long as she’s here might as well stay drunk
Start fresh tomorrow somewhere down the road
Shut down another bar
Try to convince my heart somehow sometime some place
This is gonna work
Oh but what if I run out of honky tonks
Before I get over her

Well she walked out and I bought a map
A couple towns and I’d be back
Some place I could hurt where no one knew my name
Yeah I started out in Little Rock
I’ve lost track of everywhere I stopped
I can’t seem to drink enough to outrun the pain
You’d think by now her memory
Would get tired of following me
But tonight ain’t the night
So before they turn out the lights

Repeat Chorus

Shut down another bar
Try to convince my heart somehow sometime some place
This is gonna work
Oh but what if I run out of honky tonks
Before I get over her
‘Fore I get over her

5. Beer Time

Lyrics

Bird dog just had her puppies
That’s a hundred dollars cash apiece
This ol boy struck it country rich
At least for a couple of weeks
I owe my daddy that fifty spot
And the muffler shop the rest
But Daddy and Bubba’s gonna have to wait
I got an empty ice chest

Chorus
Boys it’s beer time
This ol’ town’s dry
Headed to the county line
For something cold
I need a 12 pack
In a brown paper sack
Ice it down in the back
Find a deep mud hole
I got my baby and some rowdy friends of mine
It’s beer time
It’s beer time

Heard Bocephus was comin’ to town
And I still had a little cash
I bought me a couple of nosebleed tickets
Way up in the back
It chilled me to the bone when he sang
Got a shotgun rifle and four wheel drive
Crowd went crazy and I told my baby
It was worth every dime

Chorus

Now it’s beer time
Hearin’ Hank play live
Country boy can survive
I need something cold
When the show ends
Party with my rowdy friends
Hell of a weekend
I ain’t ready to go
Crack another top beneath the parking lot lights
It’s beer time

Chorus

Its five o’clock Friday afternoon and its beer time
Yeah the fish they’re bitin’ in the honey hole
Its beer time hey

6. Bait A Hook

Lyrics

I heard you had to drive him home after two umbrella drinks
I heard he’s got a Prius ‘cause he’s into being green
My buddy said he saw y’all eating that sushi stuff
Baby that don’t sound like you, that don’t sound like love
Sounds like it sucks

Chorus
He can’t even bait a hook
He can’t even skin a buck
He don’t know who Jack Daniels is
Ain’t ever drove a truck
Knows how to throw out a line
But not the kind in a Field and Stream book
No darling I ain’t even worried you’ll come running back
He can’t even bait a hook

Has he kissed you in a hay field as a summer rain falls down
Has he took you to meet his Mama back in his hometown
Does he drive the interstate or does he take them ol’ back roads
Can he melt your heart with a country song every good ol’ boy should know
I didn’t think so

Repeat Chorus

It won’t be that long
Til you start getting bored
I’ll be smiling on the river
Reeling in one more

Chorus
He can’t even bait a hook
He can’t even skin a buck
Hell he don’t know who Jack Daniels is
Ain’t never drove a truck
Knows how to throw out a line
But not the kind in a Field and Stream book
No darling I ain’t even worried ‘cause you’ll come running back
He can’t even bait a hook
No baby I ain’t even worried
He can’t even bait hook

Nah you’re the one that’s gonna be sorry when your headin’ to get tofu and he has a flat tire in his foreign car and don’t know how to change it and you’ll get your new Gucci shoes wet and you’re mad and irritated, I’ve seen you irritated, I’m telling you, better him than me actually

7. Flyin’ Down A Back Road

Lyrics

I’ve been on the Grand Ole Opry
I played a show with ZZ Top
Went on tour with Skynyrd
And man they still rock
Shot the bull with Bocephus
Before he climbed up on his jet
Played South Florida with Alan Jackson
That’s some things that you never forget
And all that stuff it makes you feel real good
But not near as good

Chorus
As flyin’ down a back road
With some buddies from back home
A splash of Jack in my Coke
Catchin’ brim on a Zebco
Spottin’ deer in a hay field
After church a Sunday meal
Huggin’ Mama before I go
Flyin’ down a back road

Up there in Des Moines
They knew my songs line by line
I just stood there in the fake smoke
Another dream came true that night
I’ve seen so many places
I thought I’d never see
All the way from California
To as far as you can go east
And all that stuff it makes you feel real good
But not near as good

Repeat Chorus

I’m a lucky man I’ve got a real good life
With all the things I’ve done nothing gets me as high

Chorus
As flyin’ down a back road
With some buddies from back home
A splash of Jack in my Coke
And catchin’ brim on a Zebco
Spottin’ deer in a hay field
After church a Sunday meal
And huggin’ my Mama before I go
Yeah flyin’ down a back road
Oh flyin’ down a back road

8. If You Don’t Like My Twang

Lyrics

Don’t you dare throw that beer can
Stand in the back and cover your ears
Go sit in your car til the show is over
If you don’t like what you hear
Brother maybe you’re in the wrong place
If you don’t like a rowdy crowd
We’re about to get drunk and go country on ya
Yeah it’s gonna get loud

No I don’t care if you don’t like my twang
Cause I know they love it in small town USA
It’s the way I live it’s the way I talk
Hell yeah it’s the way I sing
So I don’t care if you don’t like my twang

I’ve been singin’ and playin’ this guitar
Since I was twelve years old
It took me from a porch to the Opry to the radio
To a whole lot of records sold
Well we must be doing something right
Cause we packed it out again
So don’t let the door hit you in the ass
You can tell all your friends

Repeat Chorus

I don’t care if you don’t like my twang
Cause I know they love it down in small town USA
It’s the way I live it’s the way I talk
Hell yeah it’s the way I sing
So I don’t care if you don’t like my twang
Said no I don’t care if you don’t like my twang

9. Guns

Lyrics

I started out with a 410 then moved to a 20 gauge
Every squirrel and rabbit in Dallas County knew my name
I sat on the stand with Paw Paw from the time I was three years old
When I was eight I used a muzzleloader to kill my first doe
These days I go down to WalMart and they sell ‘em in the back
Some people wanna take ‘em away why don’t you go and bust them boys that’s selling crack

Chorus
Guns whether Remingtons or Glocks
Come on man it ain’t like I’m a slinging 'em on the block
I’m gonna tell you once and listen son
As long as I’m alive and breathing you won’t take my guns

If there ever was a time we need 'em I’d say it’d be today
When we’re letting them terrorists watch cable TV and walk out of Guantanamo Bay
I just try to do the right thing and raise my family in this land
Treat me like you wanna be treated and that’s what I call a man
If we don’t have 'em what we do tell me where we gonna go
Somebody breaks into my house I’m gonna need my Colt 44

Repeat Chorus
Listen

Chorus
Guns whether Remingtons or Glocks
Come on man it ain’t like I’m slinging 'em on the block
I’m gonna tell you once and listen son
As long as I’m alive and breathing
And I’m still breathing you won’t take my guns

No you can take ‘em from me when you take ‘em from my Grandpa and my Daddy

10. Sunshine Babies

Lyrics

Down in Alabama they wear them little cut offs, in Georgia its camo bikini tops
South Carolina layin’ on the Myrtle Beach, Panama City drinkin’ shots for free
That time I went out to California had to dodge ‘em on the PCH
And over there in Little Rock sunnin’ on a bass boat sippin’ on a cold one out on the lake

Chorus
Them sunshine babies
All across the land
Working on a tan
Drivin’ country boys crazy
All oiled down
With a beer in their hand
Easy to spot
Way too hot
I’m diggin’ on what they got
Them sunshine babies

Hat turned backwards flyin’ down a back road CJ 7 headed for the swimming hole
Me and the boys hanging out of the doors ain’t got no fishing pole got no lures
Cause what we’re after’s laid up on the bankthey’re jumping off that ol’ rope swing
Barefoot in the mud cooler on the tailgateI can see ‘em now shakin’ that thing

Repeat Chorus

Yeah
I’m diggin’ on what they got
Drivin’ country boys crazy

11. Til My Last Day

Lyrics

People say I’m just a rough boy
I ain’t no good for you girl
It’s a dead end street tryin’ to love me
Yeah I’ll wreck your world
I can see why they’re all talkin’
Lookin’ back at my past
I’ve gotta a bad name but a man can change
I’m living proof of that

Chorus
Til my last day til my last breath
Of everyone that can I can love you the best
Til my last day I’ll be loving you
All the way up til they lay me down
Six feet under the cold hard ground
Til my last day I’ll be loving you

Baby I might meet all my friends
Shoot the bull have a beer or two
But you know I’ll be the first one to leave in a hurry to get to you
But somewhere deep inside your angel eyes
I found a place to rest
Don’t ever doubt that I’ll be around
And baby don’t you ever forget

Repeat Chorus
Darling yes I will

Repeat Chorus
Oh babe til my last day

12. Bed Of My Chevy

Lyrics

We can pop a top on a bottle of Boone’s
Have a front row seat to a big full moon
Kick back and listen to the crickets in the field
Find a star we can call our own
Watch the lightning bugs til they’re gone
Light a fire of passion or lay real still

Chorus
In the bed of my Chevy
On the outskirts of town
We can dance standing up
Or lay a blanket down
I can show you how much I love you
If you let me
Make a memory we’ll never forget
Whisper little words I’ve never said
I’ll pull you close when it gets hot and heavy
In the bed of my Chevy

Baby slide off your boots down to your bare feet
Those cut offs and tan lines are killin’ me
Move on over lay your head on my shoulder we’ll stay a while
Steal a little kiss as the whippoorwills
Sing through the trees with a southern feel
We can sit on the tailgate and wait til it feels right

Repeat Chorus

Repeat Chorus
In the bed of my Chevy

13. Outlaws Like Me

Lyrics

I’ve been a rough houser
A good time sleep arounder
A straight up whiskey pounder
Til I don’t know my name
I’ve been a churchgoer
A front pew Bible holder
A cry on my Mama’s shoulder
When she saw me change
But each day’s a choice of which one I’m gonna be
God bless outlaws like me

Chorus
I curse the sun I pray for rain
I’d run a mile to walk through pain
I’ve seen the worst and I’ve seen the best that I can be
God bless outlaws like me

I’ve been an S.O.B.’er
A nighttime barroom leaner
A go back and forth betweener
And that’s the truth
And I’ve been a come home early
Get to my girl in a hurry
At night so she didn’t worry
I even said I love you
But each day’s a choice of lovin’ her or livin’ free
God bless outlaws like me

Repeat Chorus

Chorus
I curse the sun I pray for rain
I’d run a mile to walk through pain
I’ve seen the worst and I’ve seen the best man I can be
God bless outlaws
God bless outlaws
God bless outlaws like me yeah
Oh oh

14. This Is NRA Country (Bonus Track)

Lyrics

There’s a boy down the road on a bridge with his fishing pole
There’s a soldier huggin’ his dad after gettin’ home
There’s a man in his overalls plowin’ across his piece of ground
You don’t have to look far all you gotta do is look around

This is NRA Country
We love the stars and stripes
This is NRA Country
We love the outdoor life
We hunt and fish and teach our kids not to live life in a hurry
It’s where I was raised
This is NRA Country

We take pride in the work that we do and show up every day
Like the ones that came before us that were built this way
We’ll stand up for what we love because we believe
In the USA, God and family and being free

This is NRA Country
We love the stars and stripes
This is NRA Country
We love the outdoor life
We hunt and fish and teach our kids not to live life in a hurry
It’s where I was raised
This is NRA Country

It’s where I was raised
This is NRA Country
NRA Country
