Ladies Love Country Boys - Trace Adkins

Hey... Hey ladies in the place, I'm callin' out to ya There never was a city kid truer and bluer There's more to me than you'll ever know And I've got more hits than Sadaharu Oh Tom Thumb, Tom Cushman or Tom Foolery Date women on T.V. with the help of Chuck Woolery Words are flowing out just like the Grand Canyon And I'm always out looking for a female companion I threw the lasso around the tallest one and dragged her to the crib I took off her moccasins and put on my bib I'm wheelin' and dealin', I make a little bit of stealing I'll bring you back to the place and your dress I'm peeling Your body's on time and your mind is appealing Staring at the cracks up there upon the ceiling Such and such will be the bass that I'm throwing I'm talking to a girl telling her I'm all knowing, well. She's talking to the kid (to the kid) I'm telling her every lie that you know that I never did Hey ladies *a get funky* *All the ladies in the house* *The ladies, the ladies* Well... Me in the corner with a good looking daughter I dropped my drawers and said "Welcome Back Kotter" We was cutting up the rug, she started cutting up the carpet In my apartment, I begged her please stop it The gift of gab is the gift that I have And that girl ain't nothing but a crab Educated no, stupid yep And when I say stupid, I mean stupid fucked up I'm not James at 15 or Chachi in Charge I'm Adam and I'm adamant about living large With the white Sassoons and the looks that kill Makin' love in the back of my Coupe De Ville then I met a little cutie, she was all hopped up on zootie I liked the little cutie but I kicked her in the bootie 'Cause I don't kinda go for that messin' around You be listening to my records, a number one sound Just step to the rhythm, step step to the ride I've got an open mind so why don't you all get inside Tune in, tune on, to my tune that's live Ladies flock like bees to a hive Hey ladies *a get funky* Hey hey hey hey ladies *Girls girls* Hey hey hey hey ladies One more time *ain't it funky now* Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey ladies *Ain't it funky* You know that. She's got a gold tooth, you know she's hardcore She'll show you a good time then she'll show you the door Break up with your girl, it ended in tears Vincent Van Gogh, go and mail that ear Call her in the middle of the night when I'm drinkin' The phone booth on the corner is damp and it's stinkin' Said come on over, it was me that she missed I threw that trash can through her window cause you know I got dissed Your old lady left you and you went (girls girls girls) insane You blew yourself up in the back of the 6 Train, well... Take my advice at any price A gorilla like your mother is mighty weak, man Sucking down pints till I didn't know Woke up in the morning with the One Ton Ho 'Cause I announce, I like girls that bounce With the weight that pays about a pound per ounce Girls with curls and big long locks And beatnik chicks just wearing their smocks Walking high and mighty like she's number one [*She thinks she's the passionate one*] Hey ladies *a get funky* *What's that* *Good god* *Good god* *Damn* *Good god* *Baby baby baby baby* *Is it funky brother?* *Hee ha ha ha* Hey hey hey hey ladies Hey hey ladies

The silence, the terror, the pain, the horror As your mom comes downstairs Enid, we never really knew each other anyway Enid, we never really knew each other anyway It took me a year to believe it was over It took me two more to get over the loss, whoa-whoa I took a beating when you wrote me those letters And every time I remembered the taste of your lip gloss Enid, we never really knew each other anyway Enid, we never really knew each other anyway Maybe we always saw right through each other anyway But, Enid, we never really knew each other anyway There were times when I wanted to hurt you And there were times when I know that I did, whoa-whoa There were times when I thought I would kill you But can you blame me? I was only a kid Now tell me why we never really respected each other? And tell me why I never believed that you were a person, too? I always thought that you fancied my brother I may not have liked it Oh, but memory is a strange thing Oh, and Enid, I remember you Enid, we never really knew each other anyway Enid, we never really knew each other anyway Maybe we always saw right through each other anyway But, Enid, we never really knew each other anyway It took me a year to believe it was over Oooo, and it took me two more to get over the loss, whoa-whoa I took a beating when you wrote me those letters And every time you told me to get lost Now it's not fair to say that, it's 'cause I was three inches shorter then And it's not fair to say that, it's 'cause I was only fifteen years old But maybe it's fair to say there was a lack of communication I took a phone message, oh, and speaking of communication Oh, and, Enid Enid, you caught a cold I can get a job, I can pay the phone bills I can cut the lawn, cut my hair, cut out my cholesterol I can work overtime, I can work in a mine I can do it all for you But I don't want to Enid, we never really knew each other anyway Enid, we never really knew each other anyway Maybe we always saw right through each other anyway But, Enid, we really never knew each other anyway Enid, we never really knew each other anyway Enid, we never really knew each other anyway Enid, we never really knew each other anyway

I never thought that this is where I'd settle down I thought I'd die an old man back in my hometown They gave me this plot of land Me and some other men, for a job well done There's a big White House sits on a hill just up the road The man inside, he cried the day they brought me home They folded up a flag and told my Mom and Dad "We're proud of your son" And I'm proud to be on this peaceful piece of property I'm on sacred ground and I'm in the best of company I'm thankful for those thankful for the things I've done I can rest in peace I'm one of the chosen ones I made it to Arlington I remember Daddy brought me here when I was eight We searched all day to find out where my grand-dad lay And when we finally found that cross He said, "Son, this is what it cost to keep us free" Now here I am, a thousand stones away from him He recognized me on the first day I came in And it gave me a chill when he clicked his heels And saluted me And I'm proud to be on this peaceful piece of property I'm on sacred ground and I'm in the best of company I'm thankful for those thankful for the things I've done I can rest in peace I'm one of the chosen ones I made it to Arlington And everytime I hear 21 guns I know they brought another hero home to us We're thankful for those thankful for the things we've done We can rest in peace 'Cause we are the chosen ones We made it to Arlington Yeah, dust to dust Don't cry for us We made it to Arlington

In the early rush of morning Trying to get the kids to school One's hanging on my shirttail Another's locked up in her room And I'm yelling up the stairs Stop worrying about your hair You look fine Then they're fighting in the backseat And I'm playing referee Now someone's gotta go The moment that we leave And everybody's late I swear that I can't wait Till they grow up Then they do And that's how it is It's just quiet in the morning Can't believe how much you miss All they do And all they did You want all the dreams they dreamed of to come true Then they do Now the youngest is starting college She'll be leaving in the fall And Brianna's latest boyfriend Called to ask if we could talk And I got the impression That he's about to pop the question Any day I look over at their pictures Sitting in their frames I see them as babies I guess that'll never change You pray all their lives That some day they will find happiness Then they do And that's how it is It's just quiet in the morning Can't believe how much you miss All they do And all they did You want all the dreams they dreamed of to come true Then they do No more Monday PTAs No carpools or soccer games Your work is done Now you've got time that's all your own You've been waiting for so long For those days to come Then they do And that's how it is It's just quiet in the morning Can't believe how much you miss All they do And all they did You want all the dreams they dreamed of to come true Then they do Oh, then they do

And throw me under the train Tie me down to the tracks Let them big ol wheels Roll over my back I'll have a smile on my face All the way to the Promised Land Yeah toss me out of the plane Watch me fall to the ground No I don't care my body ever gets found The way you're lovin' me baby I can die a happy man Now that I've tasted all your squeezin' and a touchin' Baby there ain't nothin' I missed There ain't no reason now for me to go on livin' Only heaven could get better than this So stuff me into a barrel Lock some chains on my hand Take me down to the river Throw me over the dam The way you're lovin' me baby I can die a happy man (Oh don't that sound happy baby, huh?) Now that I've had a little shot of your affection I can't imagine nothin' I've missed There ain't no reason now for me to go on livin' Only heaven could get better than this So throw me under the train Tie me down to the tracks Let them those big 'ol wheels Roll right over my back The way you're lovin' me baby I can die a happy man Yeah, the way you're lovin' me baby I can die a happy man

That old photograph of us sure looks out of place Layin' on your bag out in the hall Takin' it to remind you of our better days The one's you say you'll miss when you're gone Don't lie, don't try to fool me 'Cause girl I know what's goin' on Don't lie, you owe it to me Believe me leave well enough alone So just go ahead and say goodbye But don't lie Well I've seen all his letters in the closet I've caught a trace of his cologne on you at night So don't stand there and act so broken hearted Tell me how it's killin' you inside Don't lie, don't try to fool me 'Cause girl I know what's goin' on Don't lie, you owe it to me Believe me leave well enough alone So just go ahead and say goodbye But don't lie Just come out and say it Don't worry I can take it Don't you think that I deserve the truth? Don't lie, don't try to fool me 'Cause girl I know what's goin' on Don't lie, you owe it to me Believe me leave well enough alone So just go ahead and say goodbye Girl just go ahead and say goodbye But don't lie, oh just don't lie
