Rodney Atkins
This small town singer recorded all the songs from his latest album in his own home. Here are lyrics to his chart topping hit from “If You're Going Through Hell.”
If You're Going Through Hell (Before The Devil Even Knows)
Well you know those times when you feel like
There's a sign there on your back
That says I don't mind if you kick me, seems like everybody has
Things go from bad to worse
You think it can't get worse than that
And then they do
You step off the straight and narrow
And you don't know where you are
Used the needle of your compass, to sew up your broken heart
Ask directions from a genie in a bottle of jim beam
And she lies to you
That's when you learn the truth
Chorus:
If you're goin' through hell keep on going
Don't slow down if you're scared don't show it
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there
I've been deep down in that darkness
I've been down to my last match
Felt a hundred different deamons breathin' fire down my back
And I knew that if I stumbled I'd fall right into the trap
That they were layin'
But the good news is there's angels everywhere out on the street
Holdin' out a hand to pull you back up on your feet
The one's that you've been draggin' for so long
You're on your knees might as well be prayin'
Guess what I'm sayin'
[Chorus]
The Wreckers
These girls hit the big time with their 2006 debut album of modern country sung with heartfelt harmonies. Here are song lyrics from their country hit album “Stand Still, Look Pretty.”
Leave the Pieces
You're not sure that you love me
But you're not sure enough to let me go
Baby it ain't fair
You know you just keep me hanging round
You say you don't wanna hurt me
Don't wanna see my tears
So why are you still standing here
Just watching me drown
Chorus:
And it's alright
Yeah, I'll be fine
Don't worry about this heart of mine
Just, take your love and hit the road
Cause nothing you can do or say
You're gonna break my heart anyway
So just leave the pieces when you go
Now you can drag out the heartache
Baby you can make it quick
You can get it over with and let me move on
Don't concern yourself with this mess you left for me
I can clean it up you see
Just as long as your gone
[Chorus]
You're not making up your mind
It's killin' me
You're wasting time
I need so much more then that
[Chorus]
Leave the pieces when you go
Steve Holy
With his blend of 50's rock-n-roll with today's country style, Steve Holy has been described as Elvis meets Dwight Yoakam. Here are lyrics to a hit from his 2006 album "Brand New Girlfriend."
Brand New Girlfriend
She said, I need sometime to find myself,
I need a little space to think.
Maybe we should start seeing other people.
Baby, things are moving way to fast for me.
So, I, I picked up what was left of my pride,
And I put on my walking shoes,
And I got up on that high road,
And I did what any gentleman would do.
I, um.
Chorus:
I got a brand new girlfriend.
We went and jumped off the deep end,
Flew out to LA for the weekend,
Spent the whole day, lyin' on the beach,
Wearin' nothin' but a smile,
Playin' kissy-kissy, smoochy-smoochy,
Talkin' mooshy-mooshy bout nothin'.
Man, I think I'm on to somethin',
You know I feel just like a kid again.
I got a brand new girlfriend.
I love it when she calls me butter cup,
Laughs and says I left the toilet seat up,
She pops the top for me a cold beer,
And says my buddies always welcome here.
When I get hungry, she takes me out.
I ride the shotgun like a Shitzu hound.
My tails a waggin', my tongues hangin' out,
It makes me wanna shout
[Chorus]
Wooo
Cute, cute, cute...
She likes to write our names in the sand.
She's hearing wedding bells and making plans.
She's gonna hang around a while i guess.
She hasn't even told me she loves me yet.
[Chorus]
She makes me feel just like a kid again,
I gotta brand new girlfriend.
Little Big Town
These four artists have clung together through many setbacks during their six year trek to stardom. Here are lyrics to a hit from their 2005 release "The Road to Here."
Bring It on Home
You've got someone here
Wants to make it all right
Someone to love you more
Than I have right here
You've gotta bring it on and I'll hold you tight
A hand to lead you on through the night right here
I know your heart can get
All tangled up inside
But don't you keep it to yourself
When your long day is over
And you can barely drag your feet
When the weight of the world
Is on your shoulders
I know what you need
Bring it on home to me
You know I know you
Like the back of my hand
You know I'm gonna do
All that I can right here
Gonna lie with you
Till you fall asleep
When the morning comes
I'm still gonna be right here
Yes, I am
So take your worries and
Just drop them at the door
Baby, leave it all behind
When your long day is over
And you can barely drag your feet
When the weight of the world
Is on your shoulders
I know what you need
Bring it on home to me
Baby, let me be your safe harbor
Don't let the water come
And carry you away
When your long day is over
And you can barely drag your feet
When the weight of the world
Is on your shoulders
I know what you need
Bring it on home to me
Oh, bring it on home
Oh, bring it on home to me
Home to me
Oh, bring it on, bring it on home
to me
You've got someone here wants
To make it all right
Someone who loves you more
Than life right here
George Strait
After more than 30 albums and accruing more #1 singles than any other recording artist in history, it's no surprise to find a not yet released album from this artist top the country charts. Here are lyrics to his latest hit from "It Just Comes Natural."
Give it Away
She was stormin' through the house that day,
An' I could tell she was leavin'.
An' I thought: "Aw, she'll be back,"
Till she turned around an' pointed at the wall an said:
That picture from our honeymoon,
That night in Frisco Bay:
Just give it away.
She said - Give it away.
An' that big four-poster king-size bed,
Where so much love was made
Just give it away.
She said - Just give it away.
Just give it away.
There ain't nothin' in this house worth fightin' over.
Oh, an' we're both tired of fightin' anyway,
So just give it away.
So I tried to move on,
But I found that each woman I held,
Just reminded me of that day.
Hmmm.
When that front door swung wide open,
She flung her diamond ring
Said - Give it away.
Just give it away.
An' I said - Now, honey, don't you even want,
Your half of everything.
She said - Give it away.
Just give it away.
Just give it away.
There ain't nothin' in this house worth fightin' over.
Oh, an' we're both tired of fightin' anyway,
So just give it away.
So I'm still right here where she left me,
Along with all the other things,
She don't care about anymore.
Mmmm.
Like that picture from our honeymoon,
That night in Frisco Bay:
She said - Give it away.
Well, I can't give it away.
An' that big four-poster king-size bed,
Where all our love was made:
She said - Give it away.
Well, I can't give it away.
I've got a furnished house, a diamond ring,
An' a lonely broken heart,
Full of love,
An' I can't even give it away.
Toby Keith
Some industry insiders once thought this roughneck singer-songwriter from Oklahoma had too much attitude - but it seems he had just enough to shake up country scene. Here are lyrics from his hit from his album "White Trash With Money."
A Little Too Late
Chorus:
It's a little too late
I'm a little too gone,
A little too tired of this hangin' on
So I'm letting go while I'm still strong enough to
It's got a little too sad
I'm a little too blue
It's a little too bad
You were too good to be true
I'm big time over you baby
It's a little too late
No I don't want to want to talk about what we can do about us anymore
Only time you and me wastin' is the time it takes to walk right out that door
Yeah talk about water under the bridge,
You should know by now girl that's all this is
[Chorus]
There was a time,
This heart of mine,
Would take you back every time
Don't you know
It's been two packs of cigaretts
A sleepless night
A nervous wreck, a day ago.
Now you ain't got no business coming around
I'm closing up shop
Shuttin' us down
[Chorus]
