Daniel De los Reyes

You know I like my chicken fried
Cold beer on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up
Well I was raised up beneath the shade of a Georgia pine
And that's home you know
Sweet tea pecan pie and homemade wine
Where the peaches grow
And my house it's not much to talk about
But it's filled with love that's grown in southern ground
And a little bit of chicken fried

Cold beer on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up
Well I've seen the sunrise
See the love in my woman's eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother's love

Well its funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most
Not where you live or what you drive or the price tag on your clothes
There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind this I've come to know
So if you agree have a drink with me
Raise you glasses for a toast
To a little bit of chicken fried

Cold beer on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up
Well I've seen the sunrise
See the love in my woman's eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother's love

I thank god for my life
And for the stars and stripes
May freedom forever fly, let it ring.
Salute the ones who died
The ones that give their lives so we don't have to sacrifice
All the things we love
Like our chicken fried

Cold beer on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up
Well I've seen the sunrise
See the love in my woman's eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother's love

Chorus:
She'll make a train take a dirt road
or make it stop on a dime
make em wonder which way to go
make a man change his mind
she's a lawyers queen
and a truckers dream
in a baseball hat fit for a queen
a genuine a different kind of fine

Cadillacs and Caviar
Well that ain't how she rolls
implants and tummy tucks
she sure don't need those
she's a cool drink of water
when the summer's mean
poured into those Levi jeans
she's country as the day is long

Chorus

Tan and lean like a longneck bottle
in the passenger seat got her hand on the throttle
she'll get you there
right on time
lord take you down to Tijuana
make you wanna slap ya mama
got ya all tore up
made you spill your dip cup
a bona fide a different kind of fine

Chorus X2

Lord Lord

so we live in our old van
Travel all across this land
Me and you

and We'll end up hand in hand
Somewhere down on the sand
just Me and you

Just as free
Free as we'll ever be
Just as free
Free as we'll ever be

Drive until the city lights
Dissolve into a country sky
just Me and you

Lay underneath the
harvest moon
Do all the things
that lovers do
Just me and you

Just as free
Free as we'll ever be
Just as free
Free as we'll ever be

I ride east every other Friday
But if I had it my way
A day would not be wasted on this drive
And I want so bad to hold you
Son, there's things I haven't told you
Your mom and me couldn't get along

So I drive and I think about my life
And wonder why that I slowly die inside
Every time I turn that truck around
Right at the Georgia line
And I count the days
And the miles back home to you
On that Highway 20 ride

A day might come you'll realize
That if you see through my eyes
There was no other way to work it out
And a part of you might hate me
But son, please don't mistake me
For a man that didn't care at all

And I drive and I think about my life
And wonder why that I slowly die inside
Every time I turn that truck around
Right at the Georgia line
And I count the days
And the miles back home to you
On that Highway 20 ride

So when you drive
And the years go flying by
I hope you smile
If I ever cross your mind
It was the pleasure of my life
And I cherished every time
And my whole world
It begins and ends with you

A man was bothering me today
I wanted to tell him to go away
But I stood and listened to him anyway, OK?
He said he didn't want to shoot that man
It was his thing and I wouldn't understand
He had done all that he can, OK?
OK...

I guess his body was as good as mine
Just like me he was wasting time
Turning over every stone to see what he could find, OK?
He was filling tank and he asked for money
I lied and said I didn't have anyThen my conscience took over and gave him a handful of
change.

Don't do a thing.
Stay right there.
You'll lie there.
You don't seem to care

I know it's hard to survive in the city
When beautiful days don't look so pretty
And you don't have windows to keep the night away, OK?
He was dirty and stink and just a bit crude
But I didn't say that because that's kind of rude
And he didn't care what I had to say in the first place.
OK...

I wanted to say you're a big disgrace
To the world, yourself, and the human race
And reach back and pop him one good time in the face, OK?
No, it's not OK and I didn't do that
But I gave him a smile and tipped my hat and
Told him to have a very nice rest of the day

Don't do a thing.
Stay right there.
You'll lie there.
You don't seem to care.

I guess he bought some booze or shit
And sure that bothers me a little bit but
It's his life and I can't tell him how to live it
As he turned and started to go his way
I tried to think of something wise to say like...

Don't do a thing.
Stay right here.
You'll lie here.
You don't seem to care.
You'll die here.

Cocaine flame in my bloodstream
Sold my coat when i hit spokane
Bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes in the early
Morning rain
Lately my hands they don't feel like mine
My eyes been stung with dust and blind
Held you in my arms one time
Lost you just the same

Jolene
I ain't about to go straight
It's too late
I found myself face down in a ditch
Booze in my hair
Blood in my lips
A picture of you holding a picture of me
In the pocket of my blue jeans
Still don't know what love means
Still don't know what love means
Jolene

Been so long since i seen your face
Or felt a part of this human race
I've been living out of this here suitcase for way too long
A man needs something he can hold onto
A nine pound hammer or a woman like you
Either one of them things will do

Jolene
I ain't about to go straight
It's too late
I found myself face down in a ditch
Booze in my hair
Blood on my lips
A picture of you holding a picture of me
In the pocket of my blue jeans
Still don't know what love means
Still don't know what love means

Jolene

Mary, Mary, why you want to do me this
way?

I was dumb enough not to settle down when you wanted to

Now I'm sittin' here going crazy trying to crawl back to
you

Mary, Mary, why you want to do me this way?

But I was smart enough to come to my senses

Be who you need me to be

And if you say that I'm too late

I'll curl up and die in misery

Mary, Mary, why you want to do me this way

I remember our first kiss on the 4th of July

I'll never miss another one of those

I'll be by your side

If my foolish heart was wrong,

this truly was never meant to be

Well I only hope that he'll count his lucky stars

and love you as much as me
