Kenny Chesney: The Road & The Radio
The Road and The Radio
Kenny Chesney / Casey Beathard (ASCAP/BMI)
Ain't nothing out here but me, the road and the radio
Lookin' for an exit and a song that I might know
Countin' down the memories, addin' up the miles
Searching for a feeling, that I ain't felt in a while
Clarity and inspiration
Happiness is a destination, that's hard to find
It may take some time
In my mind there's something more
And I'll open up a brand new door
And find the strength to close the ones I left behind
I'll get there leaning on some friends I know
The road and the radio
Spent the night in Carolina, got up early out of bed
Bought a red bull, and a road map, and an old Stones' cassette
Setting my sight south bound, no reason or rhyme
Threw up a prayer just looking, just looking for a sign
And some clarity and inspiration
Happiness is a destination that's hard to find
It may take some time
But in my mind there's something more
And I'll open up a brand new door
And find the strength to close the ones I left behind
I'll get there leaning on some friends I know
The road and the radio
In my mind there something more
And I'll open up a brand new door
And find the strength to close the ones I left behind
I'll get there leaning on some friends I know
The road and the radio
The road and the radio
The road and the radio
Mmmmmmm
The road and the radio
The road and the radio
Mmmmmmm...
Living In Fast Forward
David Lee Murphy / Rivers Rutherford (ASCAP)
The body's a temple
That's what we're taught
I treated this one like an old honky tonk
Greasy cheeseburgers
And cheap cigarettes
One day they'll get me if they ain't got me yet, 'cause
(Chorus)
I've been livin' in fast forward
Hillbilly rockstar out of control
I've been livin' in fast forward
Now I need to rewind real slow
My friends all grew up
and they settled down
Nice little houses on the outskirts of town
They work in their office
And drive SUVs
They pray for their babies
And they worry 'bout me 'cause
(Chorus)
I'm always runnin', son-of-a-gunnin'
I've had a good time, it's true
But the way I been goin'
It's time that I tone it down just a notch or two
Oh yeah
(Chorus x 2)
Yeah I need to rewind real slow
Yeah I still got some miles to go
Who You'd Be Today
Bill Luther / Aimee Mayo (BMI)
Sunny days seem to hurt the most
Wear the pain like a heavy coat
I feel you everywhere I go
See your smile, I see your face
I hear you laughing in the rain
Still can't believe you're gone
(Chorus:)
It ain't fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I've been through
Just knowing, no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder, who you'd be today
Would you see the world
Would you chase your dreams
Settle down with a family
I wonder what would you name your babies
Someday's the sky's so blue
I feel like I can talk to you
And I know it might sound crazy
(Chorus)
Today [3x]
Today [3x]
Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
The only thing that gives me hope
Is I know, I'll see you again someday
Someday, someday
Summertime
Steve McEwan / Craig Wiseman (BMI/ASCAP)
Summertime is finally here
That old ball park man is back in gear
Out on 49, man I can see the lights
School's out the nights roll in
Man, just like a long lost friend
You ain't seen in a while
You can't help but smile
CHORUS:
And it's two bare feet on the dashboard
Young love in an old Ford
Cheap sherries, and a tattoo, and Yoohoo bottle on the floorboard
Perfect song on the radio
Sing along because it's one we know
It's a smile
It's a kiss
It's a simple wine
It's summertime
Sweet summertime
Temperature says '93
Down at the deposit can guarantee
But that swimming hole
It's nice and cold
Bikini bottoms underneath
But the boys heart still skip a beat
When them girls shimmy off
Those old cut-offs
Repeat Chorus
The more things change
The more they stay the same
Don't matter how old you are
When you know what I'm talking 'bout
Yeah baby, when you got
Two bare feet on the dashboard
Young love in an old Ford
Cheap sherries, and a tattoo, and Yoohoo bottle rolling on the floorboard
Perfect song on the radio
Sing along because it's one we know
It's a smile
It's a kiss
It's a simple wine
It's summertime
Sweet summertime...
Beer In Mexico
Kenny Chesney (ASCAP)
Staring out into the wild blue yonder
So many thoughts to sit and ponder
About life and love and the lack of
And this emptiness in my heart
Too old to be wild and free
Still too young to be over the hill
Should try to grow up but who knows where to start
So I'll just sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Do my best to waste another day
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Let the warm air melt these blues away
Sun comes up and the sun sinks down
And I've seen them both in this tourist town
Up for days in a rage
Just tryin' to search my soul
For all the answers, and the reasons why
I'm at these crossroads in my life
And I really don't know which way to go
So I'll just sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Do my best to waste another day
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Let the warm air melt these blues away
Maybe I'll settle down
Get married or stay single and stay free
Which road I travel is still a mystery to me
So I'll just sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Do my best to waste another day
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Let the warm air melt these blues away
Down in Mexico..
