15 MinutesI got a call from my best friend this evening
He said he wasn’t going out with us guys on Friday night
Yeah he was gonna change
For his new-found flame
To keep her satisfied
I just laughed and said ‘Hey man
Well go ahead and try’
Farmer's DaughterWell I heard he needed some help on the farm
Somebody with a truck and two strong arms
Not scared of dirt and willin' to work
till the sun goes down
So I pulled up and said I'm your man
I could start right now and we shook hands
He said the fence needs fixin',
the peaches need pickin'

(HAYES, WALKER / HASELDON, TONY)
don't let the sunset on a argument,
it's easy to say when your not in one, that's a fact.
cause when were not getting along she got a strong stubborn side,
but i can't call the kettle black.
Forgiveness and PermissionI was keeping my powder dry till you did more than catch my eye
Barely wearing that mini-skirt
You looked so good it almost hurt
I said baby your've makine me crazy and you said
It's easier to get forgiveness than permission
So why wait when you know what I'm missing
We could keep on keeping our distance
He's MineOld man knocked on my front door
With my teenage boy and a couple more
From up the road
He had him by the collar
Said he caught him shootin' beer bottles
Down in the holler and smokin'
And I said is that right
He said, they won't speak when spoken to
If You're Going Through HellWell you know those times when you feel like
There's a sign there on your back
That says I don't mind if you kick me, seems like everybody has
Things go from bad to worse
You think it can't get worse than that
And then they do
You step off the straight and narrow
If Your Going Through HellWell you know those times when you feel like
There's a sign there on your back
That says I don't mind if you kick me, seems like everybody has
Things go from bad to worse
You think it can't get worse than that
And then they do
You step off the straight and narrow
Invisibly ShakenMy friends say they're proud of me
For taking our breakup so casually
But they don't see what lies beneath my smile
It appears that I'm okay
And I moved on when you walked away
But the truth is since you said goodbye
[Chorus]
It's AmericaDrivin' down the street today
Saw the sign for lemonade
They were the cutest kids
I've seen in this front yard
As they handed me my glass
Smiled and thinkin' to myself
Man what a picture perfect postcard this would make
Sing AlongYeah.
If you could read my mind, you might slap my face.
If you could see inside my heart, you'd see it's in the right place.
See, it's like bunnies in a Bramble, or honey bees in a hive.
Whenever I'm beside you, that's my paradise.
Might be a twisted way of sayin', I ain't proud, an' no offence,
Take a Back RoadVerse I
Sit in that six lane backed up traffic
Honks are honking, I've about had it
I'm looking for an exit sign
Gotta get out of here, get it all off my mind
And like a memory from your grandpa's attic
A song comes slippin' through the radio static
Changing my mood, a little George Strait 1982
Tell A Country BoyNow he ain’t much for talkin’
But he means every word he says
And that color on his arms and neck
Ain’t from no tanning bed
Leaves no doubt ‘bout where he stands
On a Chevy or the Lord, yeah
You can always tell a country boy
These Are My PeopleWell we grew up down by the railroad tracks
Shootin' b.b.'s at old beer cans
Chokin' on the smoke from a lucky strike
Someone lifted off of his old man
We were football flunkies
southern rock junkies
Crankin' up the stereos
Singin' loud and proud to gimme three steps,
Watching YouDrivin’ through town just my boy and me
With a Happy Meal in his booster seat
Knowin’ that he couldn’t have the toy ‘til his nuggets were gone.
A green traffic light turned straight to red
I hit my brakes and mumbled under my breath.
His fries went a flyin’, and his orange drink covered his lap
Well, then my four year old said a four letter word
It started with “S” and I was concerned
