I know it's just a Tuesday night in Tenessee
And it's raining outside
A list of things you don't wanna do
It's just weighing on you
I'm on my way
Gonna shake things up
Call you senorita
Put salt on your coffee cup
Turn on those chili pepper lights
‘Cause baby tonight
I wanna be your Mexico
Tequila glow
The sun on your skin where your dress used to go
Let your hair fall down
I'll spin you around
‘Til there's nothing on your pretty mind to worry about
Girl, let my arms be the place you can't wait to go
I wanna be your Mexico
Turn the thermostat up to 83
Sit back and relax in the ceiling fan breeze
You wanna hear the ocean or feel the sand
Well close your eyes baby and I'll do what I can
I wanna be your Mexico
Tequila glow
The sun on your skin where your dress used to go
Let your hair fall down
I'll spin you around
‘Til there's nothing on your pretty mind to worry about
Girl, let my arms be the place you can't wait to go
I wanna be your Mexico
I wanna be your Mexico
Make you feel like your miles away
Just swaying to the rhythm of the mariachi
I whisper to you in broken English
We don't need plans girl, we can wing it

Last Names
03:15
|

It’s painted on a mailbox
Where somebody planted roots
Etched into some dog tags
To tell you who's in them combat boots
It’s blood and sweat on a blue collared shirt
It’s seven generations in a word
It’s what your friends call you
And makes you stand tall and
It’s who you are and where you came from
It’s for Friday nights under them stadium lights
Hearing them call it out on the speakers
Hometown touchdown, sold out bleachers
It’s for that one girl who changes your whole world
It’s for buying that diamond and saying I do
Next thing you got one that looks just like you
One day he’ll grow up and pass the flame
That’s why they make last names
It belonged to your daddy
And his daddy before him
One day It’s gonna make it
All the way to your kid’s grandkids
It’s for carving in a headstone
It’s for making sure it lives on
It’s for Friday nights under them stadium lights
Hearing them call it out on the speakers
Hometown touchdown, sold out bleachers
It’s for that one girl who changes your whole world
It’s for buying that diamond and saying I do
Next thing you got one with her baby blues
One day she'll grow up and give it away
That’s why they make last names
It’s what your friends call you
It makes you stand tall and
It’s who you are and where you came from
It’s for Friday nights under them stadium lights
Hearing them call it out on the speakers
Hometown touchdown, sold out bleachers
It’s for that one girl who changes your whole world
It’s for buying that diamond and saying I do
Yeah, she’ll get older and so will you
Everything around you is about to change
And that’s okay
That’s why they make last names

So Good
03:27
|

Why am I so good at flicking ashes
And ordering one too many rounds
Why am I so good at kissing drunk girls
And shutting the bars down
Why am I so good at driving too fast
Why am I so good at running away
Why am I so good at knowing where I should go
Then going the other way
Why am I so good, so good at remeniscing
Why am I so good at living in the past
Why am I so good at wishing I could be a bit worse
At breaking your heart and making it hurt so bad
Why am I so good
Why am I so good at turning sunshine
Into a sky full of clouds
Why am I so good at hanging pictures
And taking them all down
Why am I so good, so good at remeniscing
Why am I so good at living in the past
Why am I so good at wishing I could be a bit worse
At breaking your heart and making it hurt so bad
Why am I so good
Just sitting out here flicking ashes
Just ordered another round

Anybody Else Says
03:54
|

They say young love never lasts
They say it can't be true
They say it's just too hard
That love is just too cruel
But I believe in driveway kisses
The kind that make you hold your breath
And I don't give a damn what anybody else says
They say life ain't simple anymore
That's just the way it is
The world's heating up or cooling off
Either way it's moving too fast
But I've felt time move slower
Watching you in a little black dress
So I don't give a damn what anybody else says
Ain't nobody else been standing where I stand
Let them say we're crazy
Baby, I don't give a damn
When you kiss me like that girl
The whole world just makes perfect sense
So I don't give a damn what anybody else says
They say that talk is cheap
And small towns are a prison
That the devil's in the details
And the bigger picture isn't
And I've found most of my saving grace
Lyin' next to you in bed
And I don't give a damn what anybody else says
Ain't nobody else been standing where I stand
Let them say we're crazy
Baby, I don't give a damn
When you kiss me like that girl
The whole world just makes perfect sense
So I don't give a damn what anybody else says
We've all got mountains that we're climbing
Rivers that we're crossing
The magic ain't the shooting star
It's the fact that we were watching
They say young love never lasts
Like they say rock 'n roll is dead
But I don't give a damn what anybody else says
No, I don’t give a damn what anybody else says

Sober Sunrise
04:35
|
|||
I woke up drunk for the third day in a row
And you're not here again
Baby, you're not here again
Nobody's calling, guess the bottle on the floor
Is my only friend
And he ain't no damn friend
Cause it don't talk, it don't laugh
And it sure as hell ain't bringing your love back
I wanna see a sober sunrise
Get my feet back on the ground
I've been high for long enough
It's time to come on down
Find a little sweet redemption
That ain't served with a lime
I think you've finally made these bloodshot eyes
Wanna see a sober sunrise
I wanna walk out my front door
Stare up at the sky, let it wash over me
Let it wash over me
It might hurt but that's alright
I think my heart's ready to fight
Through all the pain that I've been running from
Without the buzz, without the haze
With only my blood running through my veins
I wanna see a sober sunrise
Get my feet back on the ground
I've been high for long enough
It's time to come on down
Find a little sweet redemption
That ain't served with a lime
I think you've finally made these bloodshot eyes
Wanna see a sober sunrise
I really need to clear my mind for a little a while
Take as long as it takes to figure out somethings about myself
Like how I let someone like you walk away
