Track Name: Fall Madly In Love
'Fall Madly In Love'
(Tyler Johnson, Camaron Ochs and Douglas Showalter)

I was down at the bar doin my best electric slide
And he gave me a smile while doing the grapevine
(That’s how it started)
Gave him my number and waited a week for the call
And when he finally did I told that boy straight up
(Aren’t we all tired of playin these games?)

All I want to do is skip all the rules and the hoops
And fall madly in love with you
Step up to the plate so I can see the truth
And fall madly in love with you

Got my girls in my ride and I’m breakin 65
When a truck full of boys tries to pass us on the right,
(We’ve all been here before)
They start to whistle, hollerin’ out cat calls
C’mon, get a clue, have you learned nothin at all?
You must understand

All I want to do is skip all the rules and the hoops
And fall madly in love with you
Step up to the plate so I can see the truth
And fall madly in love with you

You-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
You-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

All I want to do is skip all the rules and the hoops
And fall madly in love with you
Step up to the plate so I can see the truth
And fall madly in love with you

All I want to do is skip all the rules and the hoops
And fall madly in love with you
Step up to the plate so I can see the truth
And fall madly in love with you
Track Name: Drinks On Me
Drinks On Me
(Camaron Ochs, Tyler Johnson & Douglas Showalter)

I’ve been on a mission since the day I was born
Started drinking whiskey with those boys in the barn
And every time, I’d drink those boys to the floor

My mama taught me proper and I promise I’ll be sweet
But when it come to drinking I can stand up on my feet
When its Friday night, I ain’t no cheap date

pour the round
I’ll knock them down

The bartenders all know me,
Ain't no fly on the wall
I’ll take it neat or dirty
You could say I love it all
So come on everybody
let’s cause a crazy scene
just to get is started I’ll say,
“Drinks on me! Drinks on me!”

They’re tellin me that Monday ain’t no reason to cut loose
But I’d say that work tomorrow is a good enough excuse
when you’re up all night, you can’t sleep through that old alarm

I’ll have myself a good time but I can’t do this alone
As long as we’re here well let’s call this bar our home
So let’s do this right, crank that juke box up

pour a round
Let’s knock them down

The bartenders all know me,
Ain't no fly on the wall
I’ll take it neat or dirty
You could say I love it all
So come on everybody
let’s cause a crazy scene
and just to get is started I’ll say,
“Drinks on me! Drinks on me!”

The bartenders all know me,
Ain't no fly on the wall
I’ll take it neat or dirty
You could say I love it all
So come on everybody
let’s cause a crazy scene
and just to get is started I’ll say,
“Drinks on me! Drinks on me!”
Track Name: Down This Road
'Down This Road'
(Camaron Ochs, Tyler Johnson & Douglas Showalter)

Been away much longer than I would of liked
Got caught up in that nine to five
Ain’t seen my mama in too many nights
But I’m coming home, down this road

And I drive past the postman who still knows my name
Hearin’ those old church bells, seems little has changed
And all those city lights never made me feel this way
As I go down this road, down this road

Got my apartment on the 17th floor
Livin’ off coffee and the promise of more
Seems I’ve forgotten what all this livin’ is for
But I’m comin home, just a small town girl

And I roll down my window, let the sunshine in
Smile at the creek where I had my first kiss
No matter where I go there’s always happiness
As I go down this road, down this road

and I find that sometimes
this heart cries for home

And I know that I’ll be headed back soon
To the fast past I’ve grown used to
But this time goin’ doesn’t mean leavin’
Cause this place will always be with me

And get to my driveway see my Daddy there
Seems like he’s grown a few more grey hairs
And time can’t change the fact that I’m his little girl
As I go down this road, down this road

(Whoa and) I step out the car back into my own skin
Smile at the house that I grew up in
No matter where I go there’s always happiness
When I go down this road, down this road
Track Name: Born Singin' Country
'Born Singin’ Country'
(Camaron Ochs & Tyler Johnson)

Give me those hot days
Give me those late nights
Give me the rodeo and a black 10-gallon hat

Give me a cold one
Give me a long dirt road
Give me those worn out Levi jeans on a workin’ man

And don’t take this the wrong way
But I know what I want

I’m a Southern girl, strong and proud
Got my roots in a one horse town
I was born singin’ country
And that will never change
It’s that honky-tonk that revs me up
Like a V8 Hemi in a pickup truck
I was born singin’ country
And I’ll go out that way

Give me a bonfire
Sit on a tailgate
Stare at the full moon hangin high on a Friday night

Give me my rowdy relatives
I’ll wear my high-heeled boots
Down at the bar-b-que on Sunday afternoon

And don’t take this the wrong way
But I know what I want

I’m a Southern girl, strong and proud
Got my roots in a one horse town
I was born singin’ country
And that will never change
It’s that honky-tonk that revs me up
Like a V8 Hemi in a pickup truck
I was born singin’ country
And I’ll go out that way

I’m a Southern girl, strong and proud
Got my roots in a one horse town
I was born singin’ country
And that will never change
It’s that honky-tonk that revs me up
Like a V8 Hemi in a pickup truck
I was born singin’ country
And I’ll go out that way
Track Name: Stronger Than Diamonds
'Stronger than Diamonds'
(Tyler Johnson, Camaron Ochs & Douglas Showalter)

You were always there
With love and a lesson to share
Through tough times and good ones
You were my best friend

You were always there
Through the bad dates and the bad hair
Through those fights when I said I didn’t care
You cared for me

You taught me to walk
Allowed me to fly
You gave your heart
So I could give mine

And this mother’s love
Is stronger than diamonds
And heaven knows I don’t tell you enough
Just how precious you are
And I pray that I will live up to you
When I’m a mother too

How could I have known
I’d have a baby girl of my own
that someone so small
could change my whole world

now it’s all so clear
how you gave everything through the years
And as I look at my daughter
I understand

You taught me to walk
Allowed me to fly
You gave your heart
So I could give mine

And this mother’s love
Is stronger than diamonds
And heaven knows I don’t tell you enough
Just how precious you are
And I pray that I will live up to you
Now that I’m a mother too

as the storms rolled in, the harder it would rain
the stronger your love would be
all I am today, and all I hope to be
is because you loved me

and this mother’s love
Is stronger than diamonds
And heaven knows I don’t tell you enough
Just how precious you are
And I pray that I will live up to you
Now that I’m a mother too
Track Name: When I'm With You
'When I'm With You'
(Camaron Ochs, Tyler Johnson and Douglas Showalter)

Met you on the banks of the Little Tennessee
you dared me to jump, and I dove in
The next week over ice-cream I asked you to be my wife
you were 8 years old with paper ring
As the years go by we grow up side by side
built a house and had some kids
Though the clock keeps ticking and the mirror shows our age
you wouldn't know it by the way we live

Cause in our hearts
We’re still young
Young enough to feel this way
Like high school lovers at the football game
Kissin under those bright lights
Cause growing old is nothing like they said
We still got our best years ahead
When I’m with you, oo-oo

Baby you’re my Bonnie
Oh honey you’re my Clyde
And though we’re changing diapers
It's still one helluva ride

And if I had the chance to start over
I choose you again to be mine

In our hearts
We’re still young
Young enough to feel this way
Like star-crossed lovers on a midnight train
We ain’t looking back
Cause growing old is nothing like they said
We still got our best years ahead
When I’m with you, oo-oo

Bills to pay mouths to feed
Growing up could of changed us
But I still feel those butterflies when you start to smile
You still turn me on
And we still know that

In our hearts
We’re still young
Young enough to feel this way
Like wild horses runnin through the plains
ridin off in that sunset
Cause growing old is nothing like they said
We still got our best years ahead
When I’m with you, oo-oo
Track Name: The Man Up There
The Man Up There
(Mouridsen & Ochs)

Everyday it’s somethin new
a new excuse for layin around
You’re drunk, you can’t find your boots
The weather’s bad, your internet’s down

They tell me that patience is Jesus’ will
but I’m tired of payin your bills

If you want it
ask the man up there
when it comes to my patience
I gave you all I had
If you want it
ask the man up there
when it comes to my patience
I gave you all I had

Don’t get me wrong, a drink is great
but there’s no need for 10 every night
You’re that kind of angry drunk
instead making love we just fight

I could turn the other cheek and be a Christian to you
but that one’s got a big ol’ bruise too

If you want it
ask the man up there
when it comes to forgiveness
I gave you all I had
If you want it
ask the man up there
when it comes to forgiveness
I gave you all I had

The Bible said, “The answer is Love”
But I don’t think love is supposed to feel this rough

I gave it all over and over again
pack your shit, this is the end

If you want it
ask the man up there
when it comes to my lovin’
I gave you all I had
If you want it
ask the man up there
when it comes to my lovin’
I gave you all I had

If you want it
ask the man up there
when it comes to my lovin’
I gave you all I had
If you want it
ask the man up there
when it comes to my lovin’
I gave you all I had
Track Name: Miner's Song
‘Miner’s Song’
(Mouridsen & Ochs)

The light is quickly fading
the further down he goes
He's been working there for years
Breathing in the black
The only choice you have
When you got hungry mouths to feed

But way up there the world is changing
The unemployment line's awaiting

And all this time he's been,
worried how things were gonna end
but now the wait is finally over
All the worry/trouble off his shoulders
And he can see the light again

She never let it show
But any woman knows
that things can go so wrong so fast.
He was up before the sun
and not back til it was gone
And any day could’ve be his last

Although the money's running low
At least she has him back at home

And all this time she's been,
worried how things were gonna end
but now the wait is finally over
all the trouble off her shoulders
and she can see the light again

Flowers by the bed
Cards are left unread
The years of mining took their toll
When everyday gets worse
From loving wife to nurse
You count the hours till you go

It had been a long, exhausting winter
And when he finally went he told her

Honey, all this time I’ve been,
worried how things were gonna end
but now the wait is finally over
all the worry off my shoulders
and I can see the light again
Track Name: Bedroom Lights
‘Bedroom Lights’
(Chowning, Johnson & Ochs)

I've heard 'em say that patience is a virtue
And if that's true then right now I'm a saint
Spent all day gettin myself pretty
How much longer will you make me wait?

I k-k-keep my bedroom lights on
I c-c-can’t stand how you been gone
and I hope you’re comin over tonight so I
I k-k-keep my bedroom lights on

Can’t count the time that this girls wound up smitten
And its not for lack of love that I’m alone
But you’re the one that my heart has been missin,
Though it's hard to wait, it's worse to give up hope

I k-k-keep my bedroom lights on
I c-c-can’t stand how you been gone
and I hope you’re comin over tonight so I
I k-k-keep my bedroom lights on

The sheets are down
I'm all dolled up
It couldn't be more clear

The champagne's cold
The fire's hot
You should be right
You should be right here

I k-k-keep my bedroom lights on
I c-c-can’t stand how you been gone
and I hope you’re comin over tonight so I
I k-k-keep my bedroom lights on
Track Name: How's That Taste
‘How’s That Taste’
(Chowning, Johnson & Ochs)

I'd been waiting tables left and right
When a good looking boy crossed my line of sight
I asked him what he would care to drink
He said he'd like a tall glass of me

and I said
Oo oo oo oo
How's that taste to you?
Oo oo oo oo
How's that taste to you?

He was talkin sweet for nearly a hour
when all the sudden the look on his face went sour
a little gal with a ring slid in next to him
He bit his tongue hard so I asked again

Oo oo oo oo
How's that taste to you?
Oo oo oo oo
How's that taste to you?

it ain't my business and normally i'm sweet
but to tell you the truth I can't stomach a creep

Before I told his wife the whole damn story
I made the guy one special order
dragged through the trash ‘cross the bathroom floor
when he ate his last bite I asked once more

Oo oo oo oo
How's that taste to you
Oo oo oo oo
How's that taste to you?
How's that taste to you?
Track Name: Sleepin' Heart
Sleepin’ Heart
(Chowning & Ochs)

What's it gonna take to wake your sleeping heart?
What's it gonna take to wake your sleeping heart?

I'd spend all the night on your bike if you wanna
Tear right through the wind
I'd dive anytime through the sky if you wanna
free climb up a cliff
the ride that I'm on is to get you off
and headed for the stars
There's nothing off limits
honey, no place too far

What's it gonna take to wake your sleeping heart?
What's it gonna take to wake your sleeping heart?

I'd hop on a train in the rain if you wanna
and roll on down the line
All the boats and the planes I’d take if you wanna
Any old day or time
The ride that I'm on is to get you off
and headed for the stars
There's nothin off limits
Honey, no place to far

What's to gonna take to wake your sleeping heart?
What's it gonna take to wake your sleeping heart?

There's a world of love you haven't found
open your eyes and you just might find out

what's it gonna take?
tell me, what's it gonna take?

The ride that I'm on is to get you off
and I'm headed for the stars
There's nothin off limits
Honey, no place too far

what's it gonna take to wake your sleeping heart?
what's it gonna take to wake your sleeping heart?
Track Name: Nothin At All
Nothin At All
(Johnson & Ochs)

Thought I’d have it all figured out by now
Thought my skin would be a little thicker
Worked so hard to stay one step ahead
Thought I was quick but life was quicker
I chose the fast life for a reason
thought I could outrun what makes me human

But you don’t know which day the rain will fall
and you don’t know if love’s gonna break your heart
and you don’t know how lucky you are
till you’re alright with knowin that you don’t know nothin at all

All my life been sure of what I want
tried to make it all happen my way
built up the walls around my heart
I was safe but afraid
because there’s no love without heartache
no, you can’t live without the give and take

cause you don’t know which day the rain will fall
and you don’t know if love’s gonna break your heart
and don’t know how lucky you are
until you’re alright with knowin that you don’t know nothin at all

breaking down, letting people in
ain’t an easy thing to do
and though it took
longer than it should
life is better when you let go

cause you don’t know which day the rain will fall
and you don’t know if love’s gonna break your heart
and don’t know how lucky you are
until you’re alright with knowin that you don’t know nothin at all
Track Name: Stuck In The Middle
Stuck in the Middle
(Tyler Johnson & Camaron Ochs)

How can I begin to say I’m sorry enough
for what I’ve done to the both of us
I made a fool of myself and you walked away

Not sure that I
can make it right

Now I’m stuck here in the middle
I know I’ve made mistakes
Beggin for forgiveness
here I come I’m on my way
I’m headed ‘cross the great plains
hopin that I’m not too late
but I’m comin anyway

Young and in love
but I was too scared to fight
for what we could have been
had I held on tight
And all that’s left are these headlights on the road
pointed to you

I’m here tonight
to make it right

But now I’m stuck here in the middle
I know I’ve made mistakes
Beggin for forgiveness
here I come I’m on my way
And I’m headed ‘cross the state lines
hopin that I’m not too late
but I’m comin anyway

I know that I was wrong
I want to make it right
Not expecting forgiveness tonight
But I can’t go on without letting you know
that I love you and I want you back

Stuck here in the middle
I know I’ve made mistakes
Beggin for forgiveness
here I come I’m on my way
And I’m standin at your front door
hopin that I’m not too late
but I’m comin anyway
I’m comin anyway
I’m comin anyway
I’m comin anyway
Track Name: Mayday
'Mayday'
(Johnson & Ochs)

You are overbearing I’m not in love but I don’t wanna tell you
We've been contemplating how to give it up but I cant convince you
And we've been hopelessly holding too tight when we don’t even need to
And as the water fills this sinking ship I know we have to leave too

Aaa oh whoa
Aaa oh whoa

Mayday Mayday this is an emergency
Mayday Mayday you've got to let me leave
I'm lyin here inches away
but you can't hear me call 'Mayday'

Said I’m movin on cause things were gettin rough, but here I am in your bed
Strung it on too long afraid to be alone now we’re in over our heads
It’s either sink or swim, we’ve tried so many times for worse or for better
It tears my heart in two to leave it all behind, and say goodbye forever

Aaa oh whoa
Aaa oh whoa

Mayday Mayday this is an emergency
Mayday Mayday you've got to let me leave
I'm lyin here inches away
but you can't hear me call 'Mayday'

Oh you gotta let me leave
Oh the weight will make us sink
Oh could you please help me leave?
Oh abandon ship with me

Mayday Mayday this is an emergency
Mayday Mayday you've got to let me leave
I'm lyin here inches away
but you can't hear me call 'Mayday'

Mayday Mayday
Mayday Mayday
Mayday Mayday
Track Name: Broke My Heart Again
‘Broke My Heart Again’
(Ochs & Sherry)

Lately my world has been spinning
And heaven knows where it’s going
Nobody’s losing or winning
And I’m feeling so alone

Oo-oo, oo-oo

If only I were stronger then I could let you in
Hold on to you logner and show you who I am
I am not a strong man I’m no place to begin
The lonely sun is rising I broke my heart again
Broke my heart again

Sometimes I stare out the window
And I’m thankful the world can’t come in
Cause safety is hiding in Shadows
Diguisin the state I’ve been in

Oo-oo, oo-oo

If only I were stronger then I could let you in
Hold on to you logner and show you who I am
I am not a strong man I’m no place to begin
The lonely sun is rising I broke my heart again
Broke my heart again

Hold on, hold on
If only I were stronger yeah
Track Name: Fireball Whiskey
‘Fireball Whiskey’
(Mouridsen & Ochs)

Woke up with the bright southern sun in my face
In a ditch a mile outside of town
Had no idea, just how I wound up in this place
but it takes much more than that to get me down

So I followed my trail of cigarettes and trash
back to the last bar I recall
There I found the bartender, cleaning up the mess
and he told me what went down the night before
he said:

“Fireball Whiskey made your night, my friend
it’s never pretty but it’s worth it in the end.”

Don’t work your life away
Sometimes it’s good to put your manners on the shelf
Don’t let your pride get in the way
Let your hair down and be your drunken self
Gotta go a little crazy to stay sane
Let Fireball Whiskey take the reins

I tried to get my things without waking him up
but I was still a little drunk from the night before
Tripped over a bottle and fell right back into bed
instead slipping smoothly out the door

Fireball Whiskey made my night again
it ain’t pretty, but it’s worth it the end

Don’t work your life away
Sometimes it’s good to put your manners on the shelf
Don’t let your pride get in the way
Let your hair down and be your drunken self
Gotta go/get a little crazy to stay sane
Let Fireball Whiskey take the reins

I’d been eyein’ him for years, but we never got to talk
he always had another on his arm
But then one night I saw him at the local honky-tonk
all alone standing at the bar

Had a couple shots and washed ‘em down with PBR
Let the Fireball Whiskey do the rest
I was doing fairly well until it all came up again
but he laughed and I knew she passed the test

Fireball Whiskey made my night again
it’s ain’t pretty, but it’s worth it the end

Don’t work your life away
Sometimes it’s good to put your manners on the shelf
Don’t let your pride get in the way
Let your hair down and be your drunken self
Gotta go a little crazy to stay sane
Let Fireball Whiskey take the reins

Don’t work your life away
Sometimes it’s good to put your manners on the shelf
Don’t let your pride get in the way
Let your hair down and be your drunken self
Gotta go a little crazy to stay sane
Let Fireball Whiskey take the reins
