"Another Side of You"
Written by Carson Chamberlain and Jamey Johnson
When you rolled outta bed and stomped your toe and I heard you almost cuss
And I found back the urge to laugh just listenin’ to you fuss
Then you over did the coffee, couldn’t get your hair just right
When I smiled and said good mornin’, you looked made enough to fight
Well, that’s another side of you, that I’m in love with too
Yeah, that mini van’s a far cry from the sports car in your dreams
And that dead end job just pushes back vacation more it seems
You got soccer at four thirty, a ballet class by five
Then I call you talkin’ flirty and you ask have I lost my mind
Well, that’s another side of you, that I’m in love with too
Chorus:
When you lay down in my arms, let go of all that stress
Whisper honey, I love you with your head on my chest
And the world’s strongest woman
Is my lady when the day is through
That’s another side of you, that I’m in love with too
If I had to do the things you do, well, I’d just lose my mind
But somehow you get ‘em fed and bathed and settled down by nine
And I hear you down the hallway as you lay ‘em down to sleep
And they pray the good Lord watches over them and you and me
That another side of you, that I’m in love with too
That’s another side of you, that I’m in love with too

"It Ain't No Crime"
Written by Tom Shapiro, Tony Martin, and Mark Nesler
I was sittin’ outside in the front yard
Lawn chair, kiddie pool, soakin’ up the sun
Old man walks by and said
We got this thing called ambition
Why don’t you buy a suit
And go get you some
Like he ain’t got enough of his own business
Now he’s got to go mindin’ mine
Opportunity knocks and I miss it
It ain’t no crime, it ain’t no crime
If I wanna kick back and kill a little time
It ain’t no crime
I was getting’ some pink in my color
Next door lady says, why you always layin’ ‘round
Fine young man like you
Should be married with some children
Instead of all those honeys
Running in and out
Like she ain’t got enough of her own business
Now she’s got to go mindin’ mine
I don’t have a lot of kids and a Mrs.
It ain’t no crime, it ain’t no crime
If I wanna kick back and steal a kiss some time
It ain’t no crime
If everybody minded their own business
They’d be too busy to worry ‘bout mine
If I live life the way I wanna live it
It ain’t no crime, it ain’t no crime
If I wanna kick back and chill or steal
A kiss from a girl, I will every time
It ain’t no crime
It ain’t no crime
It ain’t no crime

"Cool To Be A Fool"
Written by Steve Dean, Willard Ray Nance and Joe Nichols
Here I sit, a nobody with no-one.
An' bein' me ain't really all that fun.
Leavin' her wasn't very smart.
Admittin' I was wrong wouldn't be so hard.
If it was cool to be a fool, I'd be the hippest guy around.
If a heartache made you famous, I'd be known from town to town.
If tears were made of pennies, and a cold beer brought her back,
My bank account and self esteem would both be in the black.
An' if some Hollywood producer made a movie that was sad,
About some guy who lost the best thing he ever had,
Hey, I could be a star, if it was cool to be a fool.
But we all know the way it really is:
You don't get recognized for doin' things like this.
You spend a lotta time feelin' sorry for yourself.
It doesn't really mean that much to anybody else.
If it was cool to be a fool, I'd be the hippest guy around.
If a heartache made you famous, I'd be known from town to town.
If tears were made of pennies, and a cold beer brought her back,
My bank account and self esteem would both be in the black.
An' if some Hollywood producer made a movie that was sad,
About some guy who lost the best thing he ever had,
Hey, I could be a star, if it was cool to be a fool.
If it was cool to be a fool, I'd be the hippest guy around.
If a heartache made you famous, I'd be known from town to town.
If tears were made of pennies, and a cold beer brought her back,
My bank account and self esteem would both be in the black.
An' if some Hollywood producer made a movie that was sad,
About some guy who lost the best thing he ever had,
Hey, I could be a star, if it was cool to be a fool.
Hey, I could be a star, if it was cool to be a fool
"She Only Smokes When She Drinks"
Written by Connie Harrington, Tony Martin and Tim Nichols
So you lit her cigarette;
You're feelin' pretty good.
You think you've got a shot;
Most girls, you prob'ly would.
Yeah, this is that kind of place,
But she ain't that kind of girl.
Well, you're readin' it all wrong,
Let me tell you about her.
She only smokes when she drinks,
She only drinks now and then.
Now and then when she's tired,
Of bein' let down by men.
You can give her a light,
But it's not what you think:
Everybody knows, she only drinks alone,
And she only smokes when she drinks.
Did you ask her to dance?
Let me guess: she told you: "No."
Got to take her some place quiet,
And see how far that goes.
Oh, don't take it all that hard,
When she smiles and turns you down.
For a complicated girl,
She ain't that hard to figure out.
She only smokes when she drinks,
She only drinks now and then.
Now and then when she's tired,
Of bein' let down by men.
You can give her a light,
But it's not what you think:
Everybody knows, she only drinks alone,
And she only smokes when she drinks.
Oh, she only smokes when she drinks,
She only drinks now and then.
Now and then when she's tired,
Of bein' let down by men.
You can give her a light,
But it's not what you think:
Everybody knows, she only drinks alone,
And she only smokes when she drinks.
Yeah, an' that's right.
"Brokenheartsville"
Written by Randy Bordreaux, Clint Daniels, Donny Kees and Blake Mevis
He wore that cowboy hat to cover up his horns.
Sweet-talkin' forked tongue half a temptin' charm.
Before I turned around, that girl was gone.
All I can say is: "Bartender, pour me somethin' strong."
Here's to the past, they can kiss my glass.
I hope she's happy with him.
Here's to the girl, who wrecked my world,
That angel who did me in.
I think the devil drives a Coupe de Ville.
I watched 'em drive away over the hill,
Not against her will, an' I've got time to kill,
Down in Brokenheartsville.
It was long on chrome, sittin' in the lot.
An' fire engine red, that thing was hot.
He revved it up, she waved goodbye.
Well, love's gone to hell and so have I.
Here's to the past, they can kiss my glass.
I hope she's happy with him.
Here's to the girl, who wrecked my world,
That angel who did me in.
I think the devil drives a Coupe de Ville.
I watched 'em drive away over the hill,
Not against her will, an' I've got time to kill,
Down in Brokenheartsville.
Here's to the past, they can kiss my glass.
I hope she's happy with him.
Here's to the girl, who wrecked my world,
That angel who did me in.
I think the devil drives a Coupe de Ville.
I watched 'em drive away over the hill,
Not against her will, an' I've got time to kill,
Down in Brokenheartsville.
"The Impossible"
Written by Kelley Lovelace and Lee Thomas Miller
My dad chased monsters from the dark,
He checked underneath my bed.
An' he could lift me with one arm,
Way up over top his head.
He could loosen rusty bolts,
With a quick turn of his wrench.
He pulled splinters from his hand,
And never even flinched.
In thirteen years I'd never seen him cry,
But the day that grandpa died, I realized:
Unsinkable ships sink.
Unbreakable walls break.
Sometimes the things you think could never happen,
Happen just like that.
Unbendable steel bends.
If the fury of the wind is unstoppable,
I've learned to never underestimate,
The impossible.
An' then there was my junior year,
Billy had a brand new car.
It was late, the road was wet,
I guess the curve was just too sharp.
I walked away without a scratch.
They brought the helicopter in.
An' Billy couldn't feel his legs.
Said he'd never walk again.
But Billy said he would and his Mom and daddy prayed,
And the day we graduated, he stood up to say:
"Unsinkable ships sink.
"Unbreakable walls break.
"Sometimes the things you think could never happen,
"Happen just like that.
"Unbendable steel bends.
"If the fury of the wind is unstoppable,
"I've learned to never underestimate,
"The impossible."
So don't tell me that it's over.
Don't give up on you and me.
'Cos there's no such thing as hopeless,
If you believe:
Unsinkable ships sink.
Unbreakable walls break.
Sometimes the things you think could never happen,
Happen just like that.
Unbendable steel bends.
If the fury of the wind is unstoppable,
I've learned to never underestimate,
The impossible.
"If Nobody Believed In You"
I watched him take the two strike call:
He hadn't tried to swing at all.
I guess he'd had all that he could take,
He walked away, for goodness sake.
His father's voice was loud an' mean:
"You won't amount to anything."
That little boy quit tryin',
He just walked away.
There were teardrops on his face.
Tell me, how would you feel?
You'd probably give up too,
If nobody believed in you.
That old man said: "One more try,
"I know I'm not too old to drive.
"I promise, son, I'll do my best,
"This time, I'm gonna pass the test."
"Give me the keys, Dad, an' get in."
His father never drove again.
That old man quit tryin',
He just turned away.
An' there were teardrops on his face.
Tell me, how would you feel?
You'd probably give up too,
If nobody believed in you.
We take His name out of schools.
The lawyers say it breaks the rules.
Pledge of allegiance can't be writ,
An' under God, should not be said.
I wonder how He will take.
I just pray it's not too late.
What if God quit tryin',
He just turned away?
There were teardrops on his face?
Tell me, how would you feel?
You'd probably give up too,
If nobody believed in you.
Tell me, how would you feel?
You'd probably give up too,
If nobody believed in you.
