- Tim McGraw - "Real Good Man"
Girl you've never known no one like me
Up there in your high society
They might tell you I'm no good
Girl they need to understand
Just who I am
I may be a real bad boy
But baby I'm a real good man
I may drink too much and play too loud
Hang out with a rough and rowdy crowd
That don't mean I don't respect
My Mama or my Uncle Sam
Yes sir, yes ma'am
I may be a real bad boy
But baby I'm a real good man
I might have a reckless streak
At least a country-mile wild
If you're gonna run with me
It's gonna be a wild ride
When it comes to loving you
I've got velvet hands
I'll show you how a real bad boy
Can be a real good man
I take all the good times I can get
I'm too young for growing up just yet
Ain't much I can promise you
'Cept to do the best I can
I'll be damned
(Repeat Chorus Twice)
- Tim McGraw - "She's My Kind Of Rain"
(Robin Lerner and Tommy Lee James)
She's my kinda rain, like love in a drunken sky.
She's confetti falling down all night.
She sits quietly there, black water in a jar.
Says: "Baby why are you trembling like you are?"
So I wait, and I try.
An' I confess like a child.
She's my kind of rain.
Like love from a drunken sky.
Confetti falling down all night.
She's my kind of rain.
She's the sun set shadows, she's like Rembrandt's light.
She's the history that's made at night.
She's my lost companion, she's my dreaming tree.
Together in this brief eternity.
Summer days, winter snows.
She's all things to behold.
She's my kind of rain.
Like love from a drunken sky.
Confetti falling down all night.
She's my kind of rain.
So I wait, and I try.
I confess all my crimes.
She's my kind of rain.
Like love from a drunken sky.
Confetti falling down all night.
She's my kind of rain.
She's my kind of rain.
Like love from a drunken sky.
Confetti falling down all night.
She's my kind of rain.
She's my kind of rain.
Oh, rain on me.
She's my kind of rain.
- Tim McGraw - "Watch The Wind Blow By"
(Dylan Altman and Anders Osborne)
Creek goes rippling by;
I've been barefoot and all day with my baby.
Brown leaves have started falling,
Leading the way.
I like it best just like this,
Doing nothing all the way.
So let's lay down in the tall grass,
Dreaming away.
All I wanna do is let it be, and be with you,
And watch the wind blow by.
And all I wanna see is you and me go on forever,
Like the clear blue sky.
Slowly,
There's only you and I.
And all I want to do is watch the wind blow by.
Girl, you know, you told me not so long ago, (Not so long ago.)
To let it come, then let it pass.
And all your troubles and your sorrows,
They won't last.
So let me kiss you now, little darling,
Beneath this autumn moon.
Cold wind, another season,
Will be here soon.
All I wanna do is let it be, and be with you,
And watch the wind blow by.
And all I wanna see is you and me go on forever,
Like the clear blue sky.
Slowly,
There's only you and I.
And all I want to do is watch the wind blow by.
All I want to do is watch the wind blow by.
All I want to do is watch the wind blow by.
- Tim McGraw - "Live Like You Were Dying"
(Tim Nichols and Craig Wiseman)
He said: "I was in my early forties,
"With a lot of life before me,
"An' a moment came that stopped me on a dime.
"I spent most of the next days,
"Looking at the x-rays,
"An' talking 'bout the options an' talkin' 'bout sweet time."
I asked him when it sank in,
That this might really be the real end?
How's it hit you when you get that kind of news?
Man whatcha do?
An' he said: "I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,
"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
"And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you were dyin'."
He said "I was finally the husband,
"That most the time I wasn't.
"An' I became a friend a friend would like to have.
"And all of a sudden goin' fishin',
"Wasn't such an imposition,
"And I went three times that year I lost my Dad.
"Well, I finally read the Good Book,
"And I took a good long hard look,
"At what I'd do if I could do it all again,
"And then:
"I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,
"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
"And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you were dyin'."
Like tomorrow was a gift,
And you got eternity,
To think about what you'd do with it.
An' what did you do with it?
An' what can I do with it?
An' what would I do with it?
"Sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,
"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
"And then I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I watched Blue Eagle as it was flyin'."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you were dyin'."
"To live like you were dyin'."
"To live like you were dyin'."
"To live like you were dyin'."
"To live like you were dyin'."
-Tim McGraw - "Back When"
(Stan Lynch, Stephony Smith and Jeff Stevens)
Don't you remember the fizz in a Pepper?
Peanuts in a bottle at ten, two and four?
A fried Bologna sandwich with Mayo and Tomato?
Sittin' around the table don't happen much anymore.
We got too complicated: it's all way over-rated.
I like the old and out-dated way of life.
Back when a hoe was a hoe,
Coke was a Coke.
And crack's what you were doin',
When you were crackin' jokes.
Back when a screw was a screw,
The wind was all that blew.
And when you said: "I'm down with that",
Well, it meant you had the flu.
I miss back when.
I miss back when.
I miss back when.
I love my records, black an' shiny vinyl:
Clicks and pops and white noise:
Man they sounded fine.
I had my favorite stations, the ones that played them all:
Country, soul and rock-and-roll:
What happened to those times?
I'm readin' Street Slang For Dummies
Cause they put pop in my country.
I want more for my money,
The way it was back then.
Back when a hoe was a hoe,
Coke was a Coke.
And crack's what you were doin',
When you were crackin' jokes.
Back when a screw was a screw,
The wind was all that blew.
And when you said: "I'm down with that",
Well, it meant you had the flu.
I miss back when.
I miss back when.
I miss back when.
Give me a flat top for strumming:
I want the whole world to be humming.
oh, just keep it coming.
The way it was back then
Back when a hoe was a hoe,
Coke was a Coke.
And crack's what you were doin',
When you were crackin' jokes.
Back when a screw was a screw,
The wind was all that blew.
And when you said: "I'm down with that",
Well, it meant you had the flu.
I miss back when.
I miss back when.
I miss back when.
I miss back when.
I miss back when.
- Tim McGraw - "Drugs Or Jesus"
(Brett James, Chris Lindsey, Aimee Mayo and Troy Verges)
In my home town, for anyone who sticks around,
You're either lost or you're found:
There's not much in between.
In my home town, everything's still black and white;
It's a long, long way from wrong to right,
From Sunday mornin' to Saturday night.
Everybody just wants to get high;
Sit and watch a perfect world go by.
We're all looking for love and meaning in our lives;
We follow the roads that lead us to drugs or Jesus.
My whole life, I've tried to run; I've tried to hide,
From the stained glass windows in my mind,
Refusin' to let God's light shine, down on me;
Down on me.
Everybody just wants to get high;
Sit and watch a perfect world go by.
We're all looking for love and meaning in our lives;
There's not much space between us, or drugs or Jesus.
Yeah!
Everybody wants acceptance; we all just want some proof.
Everyone's just looking for the truth.
Everybody just wants to get high;
Sit and watch a perfect world go by.
We're all looking for love and meaning in our lives;
We follow the roads that lead us to drugs or Jesus;
To drugs or Jesus.
Oh, I need you, Jesus.
Hallejulah, Hallejulah, Hallejulah.
(Hallejulah.)
