- Brooks & Dunn - "Red Dirt Road"
I was raised off rural route three
Out past where the blacktop ends
We'd walk to church on Sunday morning
Race barefoot back to Johnson's fence
That's where I first saw Mary
On that roadside picking blackberries
That summer I turned a corner in my soul
Down that red dirt road
It's where I drank my first beer
It's where I found Jesus
Where I wrecked my first car
I tore it all to pieces
I learned the path to heaven
Is full of sinners and believers
Learned that happiness on Earth
Ain't just for high achievers
I've learned, I've come to know
There's life at both ends
Of that red dirt road
Her Daddy didn't like me much
In my shackled up GTO
I'd sneak out in the middle of the night
Throw rocks at her bedroom window
We'd turn out the headlights
Drive by the moonlight
Talk about what the future might hold
Down that red dirt road
(Repeat Chorus)
I've been out into the world
And I came back in
I lost Mary
Oh I got her back again
And driving home tonight
Feels like I found a long lost friend
(Repeat Chorus)
- Brooks & Dunn - "You Can't Take The Honky Tonk Out Of The Girl"
(Bart Allmand and Bob DiPiero)
Yeah, Connie came back from her second cousin's wedding.
First time she'd been home in a year or two
Just in time for the rehearsal dinner,
That crazy Connie wasn't wearing any shoes.
Yeah, she lives in L.A. she flies to New York City;
That woman's been around the world.
You can take that girl out of the honky tonk,
But you can't take the honky tonk,
Take the honky tonk out of the girl.
Ooh.
Well, that dinner broke up at around 11:30.
Boys went out to do what boys do.
Connie said: "Hey girls, let's huddle up.
"'Round somethin', 'bout a hundred proof."
She lives in L.A. she flies to New York City;
That woman's been around the world.
You can take that girl out of the honky tonk,
But you can't take the honky tonk,
Take the honky tonk out of the girl.
Ooh.
Well, at nine a.m., out in front of that church,
People goin' nuts looking for the groom.
Somebody says: "Hey, by the way, where's Connie?"
She's run off with that boy to Cancun.
Yeah, she lives in L.A. she flies to New York City;
That woman's been around the world.
You can take that girl out of the honky tonk,
But you can't take the honky tonk,
Take the honky tonk out of the girl.
Ooh.
- Brooks & Dunn - That's What It's All About
Hey!
Well, you work an' you slave an' you spend all day in your thankless job.
Then you jump in your Ford an' you're door-to-door with the home-bound mob.
Then you pull in the drive and you hit the chair,
An' the one that you love is waiting there.
Hey, that's what it's all about.
Hey, this is the life I couldn't live without.
No, I couldn't live without.
It's a moment frozen there in time,
When the reasons all begin to rhyme;
Where love's a little bigger an' you finally start figurin' out,
That's what it's all about.
(Ooh, ooh.)
Well, they won't go to bed or do what you said or eat their food:
An' they cry and they fuss and you can't even cuss 'cause they'll say it too.
An' you're tired and you're numb an' you're stressed and you're mad,
An' she smiles and says: "I love you, Dad."
Hey, that's what it's all about.
Hey, this is the life I couldn't live without.
No, I couldn't live without.
It's a moment frozen there in time,
When the reasons all begin to rhyme;
Where love's a little bigger an' you finally start figurin' out,
That's what it's all about.
(Ooh, ooh.)
Hey, that's what it's all about.
Hey, this is the life I couldn't live without.
No, I couldn't live without.
It's a moment frozen there in time,
When the reasons all begin to rhyme;
An' the love's a little bigger an' you finally start figurin' out,
That's what it's all about.
(Hey, that's what it's all about.)
Hey!
(Hey, that's what it's all about.)
Hey, that's what it's all, all about.
Oh, the life I couldn't live without.
Hey, that's what it's all, all about.
Hey!
(Ooh, ooh.)
Hey, that's what it's all, all about.
Hey, that's what it's all, all about.
