A little boy walks in with a bloody nose got beat up on his way home from school... again! His dad caught him runnin out the back, tears in his eyes and a baseball bat. oohooh revenge! Said "Son I won't stop you but before you go, let me tell you a little story bout the toughest man I know.
They hit Him and He just turned the other cheek Don't think for a minute, He was weak Cuz in the end, He showed them, He was anything but frail... They hammered Him to a cross but He was tougher than nails.
Well he dropped that bat like it weighed a ton father put his arms around his son and said.. just let it go... Believe me I've been in your shoes had to ask myself "What would Jesus do" and here's what I know. Whenever I'm in doubt I look up what He said it's all there in the good Book in black and white and red.
They hit Him and He just turned the other cheek Don't think for a minute, He was weak Cuz in the end, He showed them, He was anything but frail... They hammered Him to a cross but He was tougher than nails!
Yeah in the end, He showed them He was anything but frail, They hammered Him to a cross but He was tougher than nails!
Got a boat, got a car, got a house with a yard: I'm still workin the best job I've ever had. But I'd give it all away, every dollar that I've made, If I could only bring you back.
There's a door that I keep closed; there are boxes full of clothes, But it's memories I'm wishin I could pack. I would retrace every step; say the things I should have said, If I could only bring you back.
But there's no words I can say: Not a prayer I can pray. No road that you can take back to my arms. But you'll never be gone: Our love will live on, As long as there's a beat in my heart.
There's a smile that I still see, a voice callin out to me, And a longing in my soul I've never had. I wish I could touch your face, I would even take your place, If I could only bring you back.
But there's no words I can say: Not a prayer I can pray. No road that you can take back to my arms. But you'll never be gone: My love will live on, As long as there's a beat in my heart.
Got a boat, got a car, got a house with a yard: I'm still workin the best job I've ever had. But I'd give it all away, every dollar that I've made, If I could only bring you back. If I could only bring you back.
I work overtime cause my boss is a jerk It gets him off my back I go to see my momma right after work So she knows where I'm at Stop by my sister's and I hug her neck Tell her just let that guy go But there's a few things I do When I'm all by myself That nobody knows
1st Chorus:
It's just somethin' I do for me Sometimes when I can't sleep I get in my car and drive down your street It's just somethin' I do for me I did everything that a man could do To try and make you smile I couldn't keep love from slippin away But I slowed it down a while
When you finally told me that you'd had enough Well it broke my heart into So I swallowed my pride Walked out of your life I did that for you
2nd Chorus:
But there's somethin' I do for me Sometimes I really need Sit in a bar drown some old memories It's just somethin' I do for me
Bridge:
I know these things might all seem strange But somehow they get me by This smile on my face is hidin' the trace of teardrops In my eyes
3rd Chorus:
It's just somethin' I do for me Sometimes when noone sees I talk to the man, I get down on my knees It's just somethin' I do for me.

This is your brain makin' everything make sense, Countin' those nickels and dimes. This is your brain balancin' on the fence, walkin' that logical line. This is your brain got it all under control, both hands on the wheel. Stay in your lane, keepin' it tame, this is your brain.
Then she walks right by and that all goes out the window, And your IQ starts to dwindle, at the mention of her name. And she winks and smiles and your heart starts over loadin' And you're crazy over everything she does. You ain't insane, this is your brain, on love.
This is your brain buddy you can handle this, Gotta just get a grip. This is your brain man there ain't a woman alive, That you can't resist. This is your brain baby, just slow on down, Don't want to jump the tracks. You can refrain, keep it contained, this is your brain.
Then she walks right by and that all goes out the window, And your IQ starts to dwindle, at the mention of her name. And she winks and smiles and your heart starts over loadin' And you're crazy over everything she does. You ain't insane, this is your brain, on love.
You think that you're too clever now, to ever fall again, And your medulla oblongata says, boy get out while you can
Then she walks right by and that all goes out the window, And your IQ starts to dwindle, at the mention of her name. And she winks and smiles and your heart starts over loadin' And you're crazy over everything she does. You ain't insane, this is your brain, on love.
You ain't insane, this is your brain on love. Sweet love.
The only the thing I see ahead is Just the heat a rising off the road The rainbows I've been chasing keep on fading before I find my pot of gold But more and more I'm thinking, that the only treasures that I'll ever know Are long ago and far behind and wrapped up in my memories of home
Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole and the feel of a muddy row between my toes Home was a back porch swing where I would sit and mom would sing amazing grace While she hung out the clothes, Home was an easy chair with my daddy there and the smell of Sunday supper on the stove My footsteps carry me away but in my mind I'm always going home
Now the miles I put behind me ain't as hard as the miles that lay ahead And its much too late to listen to the words of wisdom that my daddy said The straight and narrow path he showed me turned into a thousand winding roads,
My footsteps carry me away, but in my mind I'm always going home.
Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole and the feel of a muddy row between my toes Home was a back porch swing where I would sit and mom would sing amazing grace While she hung out the clothes, Home was an easy chair with my daddy there and the smell of Sunday supper on the stove My footsteps carry me away but in my mind I'm always going home
Yeah, the straight and narrow path he showed me turned into a thousand winding roads, My footsteps carry me away, but in my mind I'm always going home.
Darlin' I'll pack up my clothes Take my heart on down the road I'll even make believe I don't love you.
Lose my mind, go insane, turn my face to the pourin' rain There's nothin' I wouldn't do if you want me to.
But I'd rather stay around and love you And be the one to make your dreams come true But if it takes good-bye to make you happy Then I'll just walk away if you want me to.
If there's no way to make it work I'll find a way to hide the hurt I'll do my best to do what's best for you.
I'll just take your memory and disappear quietly Quit acting like a fool if you want me to.
But I'd rather stay around and love you And be the one to make your dreams come true But if it takes good-bye to make you happy Then I'll just walk away if you want me to.
Ohh if it takes good-bye to make you happy Then I'll just walk away if you want me to.
There's something wrong Lord I'm feeling it too That runs through my heart Like a torch cuts through steel You haven't said a word Are you feeling it too Is it cold in here Or is it just you
Did I leave the door wide open And let the chill just kill that old desire Should I put my arms around you Or put another log on the fire Is it my imagination Or did the temperature just drop A notch or two Is it cold in here Or is it just you
There's no warmth at all When I try to hold you near You stare into space As if I wasn't here Did our love just die Or is it just about to Is it cold in here Or is it just you
Did I leave the door wide open And let the chill just kill that old desire Should I put my arms around you Or put another log on the fire Is it my imagination Or did the temperature just drop A notch or two Is it cold in here Or is it just you
I could tell he'd had a tough life By the way he sat and stared And me, I'd come to push and shove So I pulled up a chair.
We talked of roads untraveled We talked of love untrue Of strings that come unraveled We were kings and kindred fools And just when I'd hit bottom That old man raised his glass And said at least we had our chances There's those who never have.
So here's to all the soldiers Who have ever died in vain The insane locked up in themselves The homeless down on Main To those who stand on empty shores And spit against the wind And those who wait forever For ships that don't come in.
He said it's only life's illusions That bring us to this bar To pick up these old crutches And compare each other's scars 'Cuz the things we're calling heartache Hell, they're hardly worth our time We bitch about a dollar When there's those without a dime.
And as he ordered one last round He said I guess we can't complain God made life a gamble And we're still in the game.
So here's to all the soldiers Who have ever died in vain The insane locked up in themselves The homeless down on Main To those who stand on empty shores And spit against the wind And those who wait forever For ships that don't come in.
Well the beer's on the bar and the smoke fills the air And there's a fool in every corner man I just don't care Tight pants, line dance, stetson hats and cowboy boots They got a Friday night, get right, honky tonk attitude
Well the waitress never leaves you with a half-empty glass And every girl's on the dance floor shakin' her... well It's a two step, three step, outta step, country mood They got a Friday night, get right, honky tonk attitude
Well now everybody knows that's where everybody goes Just to dance away their blues So leave your cares behind, it's just a state of mind What have you got to lose
Hey bartender pour us another round, We're just get gettin' started don't shut us down We need a slow dance, romanced, last chance rendezvous We need a Friday night, get right, honky tonk attitude
If you've got a Friday night, get right, honky tonk attitude Yeah you need a Friday night, get right, honky tonk attitude
