Pavement EndsWritten by Brent Cobb and Jason Saenz

Take me back to the muddy waterWhere the bull and the cow dont botherPick up a girl I know wont hollerHead out of town watch the sun go downAnd maybe later well call some friends

Tell 'em meet us where the pavement endsI got some fatwood rolling in a truck bedFine pine thats what she saidI found it in the forest where the kindlings strongIt burns real hot but it dont last long

Just cause I get her warm dont mean Ill see skinBut Im gonna start a fire where the pavement ends

(Chorus)You can get you a buzz, blame it on the radioFind a lighter, live a little higher

Take it all in, let the good times rollAnd on a clear night, who needs the headlights

Drop it in low, drive by the moonlightOut here the world dont spinEverything stops where the pavement ends

Drop me off on homegrown red clayWhere the deer and the possum do play

Turn off the phone, its never too late toCast a line, catch some peace of mindLifes too fast to run my friendSlow it on down where the pavement ends

(Repeat Chorus) x2

Everything stops where the pavement ends

PONTOONWritten by Natalie Hemby, Luke Laird and Barry Dean

Back this hitch up into the waterUntie all the cables and ropeStep onto the Astroturf, get yourself a coozieLets go

Who said anything about skiingFloatin is all that I wanna do

You can climb the ladderJust dont rock the boat while I barbecue

(Chorus)On the pontoonMakin waves and catchin rays up on the roof

Jumpin off the back, dont act like you dont want toParty in slow motionOut here in the openMmmm motor boatin

Reach your hand down into the coolerDont drink it if the mountains arent blue

Try to keep it steady as you reclineOn your black intertube

(Repeat Chorus)

Five mile an hour with aluminum sidesWood paneling with a water slideCant beat the heat so lets take a ride

(Repeat Chorus)

On the pontoonOn the pontoon

Back this hitch out into the waterOn the pontoon

SoberWritten by Lori McKenna, Hillary Lindsey and Liz Rose

I wanna walk that line a little crookedAnd live my life a little on the rocksLaugh at every time I fellNot afraid to make a fool of myselfAnd keep on dancing when the music stops cause

(Chorus)I love being in loveIts the best kinda drugDrunk on the high leanin on your shoulderSweeter like wine as it gets olderWhen I die, I dont wanna go soberOh when I die, I dont wanna go sober

Youre like drinking from a never-ending bottleWhen I think its gone, theres always a little more leftLay back with you and close my eyesLet the big ol world just spin on bySaying your name with my last breath

(Repeat Chorus) x3

Oh when I die, I dont wanna go soberOh when I die, I dont wanna go sober

Front Porch ThingWritten by Adam Hood and Chris Stapleton

(Chorus)Good Lord willin and the creek dont riseMy babys got a song to singWhile the crickets and the train whistle harmonizeDoin that front porch thingClangin and a bangin out a feel good tuneStrummin on my old six-string

Sure can kill these country bluesDoin that front porch thing

Works been slow, moneys been tightBut thats alright honey, thats alrightSometimes she wont but sometimes she willAnd when she do what she do, its a doggone thrill

(Repeat Chorus)

Well the moon comes up, we sit downAnd the chains start creakin makin swingin soundsFall in love all over againHaving so much fun, it oughta be a sin

(Repeat Chorus) x2

Doin that front porch thingWere doin that front porch thingDoin that front porch thing

Your Side Of The BedWritten by Lori McKenna, Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet and Jimi Westbrook

On your side of the bed, theres a picture of our wedding dayA clock that dont work and the bible that your daddy gaveIts on the window side where the moon creeps in at night

Starin at the ceiling lying here all aloneI said a prayer for you then I said one of my ownBut you dont reach for me when you lie down quietly

(Chorus)Tell me how, howd you get so far awayAll we have left are the memories of the love we madeAre you sleepin with your own regretOn your side of the bed

On your side of the bed theres a burned down candle flameA letter I started but I didnt know what to sayNo I couldnt write it down so Ill try to say it now

(Repeat Chorus)

Arent you even gonna make a soundOn your side of the bed

Turn the other way when I turn the lights downOn your side of the bedAre you lonely like Im lonely

How, howd you get so far awayAll we have left are the memories of the love we madeAre you sleepin with your own regret

(Repeat Chorus)

On your side of the bed

Are you still awake on your side of the bed 2012 Songs Of Universal, Inc./Hoodie Songs (BMI)/Warner-TamerlanePublishing Corp. (BMI). All Rights Reserved. Used by Permission.

Leavin In Your EyesWritten by Brett Warren, Brad Warren, Jay Joyce, Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman and Jimi Westbrook

It sure is quiet, skys too blueYou aint hidin but I cant find youSheets on the line so nothings changedI guess theres nothing left to say

(Chorus)I read you like an open bookStanding on the edge but you cant look backFeel better if you just lie

You got leavin in your eyes

If you just let one tear fall downThat might tell me why youre hangin roundIf you remember when we started this

You might remember what youre gonna miss

(Repeat Chorus)

Aint no suitcase, aint no rainNo sign of life or anything at all

Open up the screen door and youre looking outOh I can see it now

I read you like an open bookStanding on the edge but I cant look downItd feel better if you just lie

I read you like an open book

Standing on the edge but I cant look downItd feel better if you just lie

(Repeat Chorus)You got leavin in your eyes

TornadoWritten by Natalie Hemby and Delta Maid

Thought youd change the weatherStart a little storm, make a little rainBut Im gonna do one betterHide the sun until you prayIm a tornadoLooking for a soul to take

Youre gonna see me comingBy the selfish things that you didIm gonna leave you guessingHow this funnel is gonna hitIm a tornadoLooking for a man to break

(Chorus)Yeah Im gonna lift this houseSpin it all around

Toss it in the air and put it in the groundMake sure youre never found

Thought youd take a swingTry another girl, try another nightBut its the pain that brings myForce of nature back to lifeIm a tornadoMore disturbed than an F5

Hey Im gonna lift this houseSpin it all around

Toss it in the air and put it in the ground

(Repeat Chorus)

Im gonna lift this houseSpin it all aroundToss it in the air and put it in the ground

(Repeat Chorus)

The winds are getting strongerAnd the sky is falling through

You ain't got much longer

Til the rage rips off the roofIm a tornadoAnd Im coming after you

Cant Go BackWritten by Natalie Hemby, Rosi Golan and Kate York

Some things you cant go back toSome things need left aloneDont mess with the memories of a life passed onOh the tumbling reservationsAt the heart of my mistakesSome things you cant go back toCause you let them slip away

I dont wanna be a witnessTo a path thats overgrownI dont wanna see this houseNot be a homeCause time has taken toll on

What we couldnt seeNo I dont wanna be a witnessTo the end of you and me

Howm I gonna make each momentBetter than the lastHowm I gonna make it betterIf I cant go back

Oh the tumbling reservationsAt the heart of my mistakesSome things you cant go back toCause you let them slip away

Self MadeWritten by Natalie Hemby, Jedd Hughes, Karen Fairchild and Jimi Westbrook

Born a survivor, like father, like gunBuilt to outlast where you came fromNothing comes easy when nothing is handed to you

Taught yourself how to turn the tidesWalk ashore before the waters riseEven when youre down, youre still coming through

Making diamonds out of dust

Youll shine before you turn to rustNever by the book, always underestimatedIts hard to believe the life that you createdSelf made

Learned from the will of the working manBreaking hard ground for a piece of landUp before the sun and down before the rising moonOh fought for the things that were never yoursSettle for less and hope for moreGod and pouring rain never come too soon

Making diamonds out of dust

Who you are is who you trustNever by the book, always underestimatedIts hard to believe the life that you created

The impossible endeavor never would you tradeIts a legacy that you take to the graveSelf made, self made

Live and die by the chance were takingMoney dont buy the life that were making

Never by the book, always underestimatedIts hard to believe the life that you created

The impossible endeavor never would you tradeIts a legacy that you take to the graveSelf made, self made

Live and die by the chance were takingSelf madeMoney dont buy the life that were makingSelf madeLive and die by the chance were takingSelf madeMoney dont buy the life that were makingSelf madeLive and die by the chance were takingSelf madeMoney dont buy the life that were making

NIGHT OWLWritten by Natalie Hemby, Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet and Jimi Westbrook

Where the steeples and the skyways meetThrough the lonely and deserted streetsIve been wandering my way back home

To the girl with the secret smileThat holds my heart a million miles awayWherever I roam

(Chorus)Praying for the bright headlights coming over the hillIll never go away again I swearIts turning darker with the passing time but Ill be here stillI hope youre not asleep when I get thereIm a night owl waiting for you

County lines and water towersIm making ground burning daylight hoursGetting lost in rolling fields and pastures

But as the stars begin to fallI find myself trying to count them allAnd wish on one to get me there faster

(Repeat Chorus)

Hurry up, hurry upBefore the morningIll be staying up, staying upDreaming of you

(Repeat Chorus)
