Blake Shelton

My brothers said that i'm
Rotten to the core
I was the youngest child
So I got by with more
I guess she was tired by
The time I came along
She'd laugh until she cried
I could do no wrong
She would always save me
Because I was her baby

I worked a factory in Ohio
A shrimp boat in the Bayou
I drove a truck in Birmingham
Turned 21 in Cincinnati
Called home to mom and daddy
I said your boy is now a man
She said I don't care if you're 80
You'll always be my baby

She loved that photograph
Of our whole family
She'd always point us out
For all her friends to see
That's Greg he's doin' great
He really loves his job
And Ronnie with his two kids
How 'bout that wife he's got
And that one's kind of crazy
But that one is my baby

I got a call in Alabama
To come home to Louisiana
And come as fast as you can fly
'Cause your mama really needs you
And says she's gotta see you
She might not make it through the night
The whole way I drove 80
So she could see her baby

She looked like she was sleepin'
And my family had been weepin'
By the time I got to her side
And I knew that she'd been taken
And my heart it was breakin'
I never got to say goodbye


I softly kissed that lady...
And cried just like...a baby

She saw that he closed the door
She stole a look in the guarded book
His prose was a line of crows
On a washing line in the summer time
And the wind blew the crows around
Some made the sky, some hit the ground
She never heard a fuller sound
It comes as no surprise;

She's in love with the dreamer,
So in love with his world.

He had songs you could sing along to
In any time, in any key.
They were jewels in elysian pools
In eternity for all to see
And the water helped the jewels to shine,
Some like the stars and some like wine

In the eyes of earthbound angels
It comes as no surprise...

He makes her close her eyes,
He helps her paint the skies blue.

And the seventh dream was, so surreal
When the dreamer broke the seventh seal
And butterflies all lost their wheels
It comes as no surprise...

By the two lane
In the blazing sun
Or pouring rain
Sells tomatoes
From the back
Of his pickup truck
Reads the Bible line for line
While sipping on
Some homeade wine

That's who he is
And what he does
He's just like us


My Dad's got
A crippled hand
A casualty of Vietnam
But he's still down
At the sawmill every day
Oh and first thing
'Fore the break of dawn
Mama's got his eggs
And coffee on

My whole life
It's been that way

We come from
Back in the hollers
We got sweat
On our blue collars
The living's hard
But the living's good
You see God sent
The heavens down
And hung 'em 'round
My neck of the woods

Just as sure as the river flows
We take care of our own
Step right up when someone needs a friend

Last year on the Johnson farm
A fire wiped out the house and barn
The whole town showed up
To build 'em back again, all right

We come from
Back in the hollers
We got sweat
On our blue collars
The living's hard
But the living's good
You see God sent
The heavens down
And hung 'em 'round
My neck of the woods

We come from
Back in the hollers
We got sweat
On our blue collars
The living's hard
But the living's good
You see God sent
The heavens down
And hung 'em 'round
My neck of the woods

Another summer day, his coming’s gone away
And Paris in Rome
But I wanna go home.
hmm…..

Maybe surrounded by a million of people eyes still feel along. I miss you , you know.
I‘ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote you, each one line on you, I’m fine baby, how are you? I would sing it but I know that it’s just not enough. My words were cold in flat and you deserve more than that.

Another airplane another sunny place I am lucky I know but I wanna go home. I’ve got to go home.
Let me go home. I am just far from where you are. I wanna come home.


And I feel just locked; I’m living somewhere else’s life, so I got just stepped outside. Everything’s go right.

And I know just why you could not come along with me, it was not your dream but you always believe me
Another winner day has coming gone away and even Paris in Rome. And I wanna go home. Let me go home.
And I’m maybe surrounded by a million of people eyes still feel along and I wanna go home.
Oh! I miss you, you know.
Let me go home. I have my run, maybe I am done. I’m coming back home
Let me go home. It’ll all be all right, I’ll be a home tonight, I’m coming back home.
