New To This Town lyrics - Kix Brooks (feat. Joe Walsh)
I was sittin' at the cafe for a bite
And couldn't help but overhear this guy
He just pulled up in a U-Haul truck
Tell Becky how pumped he was
'Bout movin' here for his new job
And what a cool little spot it was
It kinda made me jealous, it made me mad
Wish I could see this place like that
Yeah, I wish I was new to this town
Just pullin' in, and checkin' it out
For the first time, wish I could go anywhere
And not be afraid of finding you there
Yeah, girl, when I see you around
I wish I was new to this town
I can't put my feet on this sidewalk
Without hearing you laugh, and hearing you talk
And every street's a memory
Of just how good it used to be
I can't walk into the corner bar
Without asking how you are
And how you're doing, and how you've been
I gotta go through it all again
I wish I was new to this town
Just pullin' in, and checkin' it out
For the first time, wish I could go anywhere
And not be afraid of finding you there
Yeah, girl, when I see you around
I wish I was new to this town
I wonder what it feels like to hop in my truck
Not think about us, just go for a ride
And stop at that stoplight, not think about you
Sittin' here by my side
Yeah, I wish I was new to this town
Just pullin' in, and checkin' it out
For the first time, wish I could go anywhere
And not be afraid of finding you there
Yeah, girl, when I see you around
And I feel the way that I do now
Oh, I wish I was new to this town
I wish I was new to this town, oh, yeah
I wish I was new to this town
Oh, yeah
Moonshine Road lyrics - Kix Brooks
Long-legged woman, velvet and lace
A country boy can't help but stare
At your pretty face
I like your outlaw attitude
I like that long black car
And I might just be your ticket out
This ol' highbrow bar
I don't care who you are
Yeah, throw me the keys, honey, take a seat
Let me show you how to drive that thing
Riding shotgun with a bootlegger's son
Sure to make a city girl scream
I'm gonna take you places money don't go
I'm gonna teach you what a country boy knows
Gonna cover you in diamonds and dust
Where the stars fall on moonshine road
Roll down that window
Let down your fancy hair
You're a long way from New Orleans now
Nobody 'round here cares
Oh, can't you smell that jasmine hanging in the air?
That's the ghost of old plantations
That burned to hell out there
Yeah, girl, we're almost there
Yeah, hold on tight, here comes the ride
This is where the blacktop ends
Gonna lose those lights, running blind
You'll never be the same again
I'm gonna take you places money don't go
I'm gonna teach you what a country boy knows
Oh, yeah, I'll cover you in diamonds and dust
Where the stars fall on moonshine road
I'm gonna take you places money don't go
I'm gonna teach you what a country boy knows
Oh yeah, I'll cover you in diamonds and dust
Where the stars fall on moonshine road
Yeah, long-legged woman in velvet and lace
A country boy can't help but stare
At your pretty face, at your pretty face
Come on, throw me them keys
Let me show you what that caddy'll do right now
Come on
Bring It On Home lyrics - Kix Brooks
I was looking for a slow down
When you came around, just didn't know how
Never left the barroom or a beer joint
'Til the lights went out
But in the middle of a long slow kiss
The light came on
I've been doing this all wrong
I think I'm gonna try holding on
And all my life I been running
And all these nights I've wasted
All this time I been on the move
I think I'm gonna stop now
And just bring it on home with you
This is where I used to make my move
Slip on my boots
I'm good staying here
And just laying here, tangled up in you
I just never found that one I couldn't resist
I could get used to this
I think I'm gonna need
One more kiss
All my life I been running
All these nights I've wasted
All this time I been on the move
I think I'm gonna stop now
And just bring it on home with you, baby, by my side
Not gonna let love pass me by
Not this time, come on
And all my life I been running
And all these nights I've wasted
All this time I been on the move
I think I'm gonna stop now
And just bring it on home with you
Gonna bring it on home
Gonna shake it on out
Just me and you
In this big ole house
Gonna have a time
Gonna find a place in the sundown, baby
Gonna bring it on home, gonna lay it on down
Gonna feel the way that I'm feeling now forever, baby, yeah
I'm gonna bring it on home with you
Gonna bring it on home with you
Gonna bring it on home with you
There's The Sun lyrics - Kix Brooks
We've been cooped up, covered up with snow and rain
This country cabin fever's drivin' me insane
Been a long cold winter for way too long
Waitin' on the bluebird to sing me a song
Mercury's rising and the clouds are partin'
That short skirt walk is already startin'
Them buttercups are poppin' up towards the sky
These cool Rays are shadin' my eyes
There's the sun, here it comes
Summertime has begun, good time, friends
Where you been? Come on in, have some fun
There's the sun, yeah, there's the sun
Kick back and floatin' easy while the warm wind blows
And you'll find us makin' memories where the cool breeze blows
In the ocean and the lake and the swimming pool
Everybody's all in stayin' cool
Tappin' your toes and swayin' along
And that iPod shuffle goes to shufflin' songs
Them little bitty bathin' suits, lordy, lordy
Havin' us a sunscreen party
There's the sun, here it comes
Summertime has begun, good time, friends
Where you been? Jump on in, have some fun
There's the sun, there's the sun
There's the sun, here it comes
Summertime has begun, good time, friends
Where you been? Jump on in, have some fun
Complete 360 lyrics - Kix Brooks
I was a mess when you first met me
I said I'd turn it around if you just let me
And I worked so hard cleaning up my act
You got me hooked then you threw me back
I turned my life around completely
Come full circle since the day you ditched me
I'm back on the town, I'm back on the whiskey
Honey I done a complete 360
I got a drink in one hand, a phone in the other
And all my old girlfriends are running for cover
So I call my booky and I made a bet
Ya it's only first quarter and I'm back in bed
I turned my life around completely
Come full circle since the day you ditched me
I'm back on the town, I'm back on the whiskey
Honey I done a complete 360
Ya I jump off the wagon, baby. I didn't fall
Made a big splash like a canon ball
Lucy and the twins just walked through the door
That's a double shot of trouble I have been looking for
Ya I've been looking for you girls
I did a 180 for your affection
I went the extra mile in the wrong direction
If you want me back well you can find me at home
Ya or down at the bar just doing you wrong
I turned my life around completely
Come full circle since the day you ditched me
I'm back on the town, I'm back on the whiskey
Honey I done a complete 360
That's right
I'm back on the town, back on the whiskey
Honey I done a complete 360
I quit my job, and wrecked my pickup
Going down hard and don't care if I ever get back up
My Baby lyrics - Kix Brooks
She walked in the room, clicked off the T.V
Kicked her feet up on the chair
Said we're headed in different directions
One of us gotta get out of here
I said, "Hey, baby, let me make it easy
Or maybe, baby, we could work things out"
She lit up a cig, said my bags are packed
In two seconds flat like Jumping Jack Flash
She's gone
My baby ain't coming back, no
My baby ain't coming back
My baby ain't coming back
Got a one way ticket on a one way track
My baby, she's a hot tamale
My baby's burning up the road
My baby done flipped me the bird
No matter what you heard she ain't coming back, no
Nothing left but a cloud of dust and
Tire tracks through the whole front yard
She might think I'm coming back to chase her
But she ain't worth the miles I'd put on my car
Might be out in Oklahoma
Maybe down in Arkansas
Maybe up in Ohio, what she don't know
It don't hurt at all, y'all
My baby ain't coming back, no
My baby ain't coming back
My baby ain't coming back
Got a one way ticket on a one way track
My baby, she's a hot tamale
My baby's burning up the road
My baby done flipped me the bird
No matter what you heard she ain't coming back, no
I heard a Hemi coming up the driveway
Thinking maybe she's back tonight
It's just the boys headed for the pool-hall
Sometimes things just work out right
My baby ain't coming back, no
My baby ain't coming back
My baby ain't coming back
Got a one way ticket on a one way track
My baby, she's a hot tamale
My baby's burning up the road
My baby done flipped me the bird
No matter what you heard she ain't coming back, no
Tattoo lyrics - Kix Brooks
I met her on a tailgate
Told me she was sweet on me
And she said I've got something
That I think you might like to see
I got a little peek driving in my car
And she finally let me see it out behind the bar
She said her daddy'd kill us both if he ever knew
I'm talking 'bout my baby's tattoo
If you ever get to see it
Well, you're gonna want to see it again
And it looks a little different
Just depending on the way she bends
But it's the cutest little thing that I've ever seen
On a model, in a movie or a magazine
Funny how some ink'll make you think
There's nothing she won't do
I'm talking 'bout my baby's tattoo
Ooh, ooh, looks so good, makes me crazy
Baby, tell me what would make a sweet thing
Like you get a thing like that?
Couple crazy girlfriends out on a dare
Drinking margaritas like they just don't care
Next thing you know, well, you're sitting in a chair
And trying to remember what he's drawing down there
I can't tell you what it looks like
I can't tell you where it is
And chances are you're never
Gonna see it, so I'll tell you this
It's not a rose on her ankle, not a heart on her hand
But it'll put a smile on the face of any man
The kind of thing that'll still look hot when she's 92
Yeah, I'm talking 'bout my baby's tattoo
Ooh, baby, looks so good, makes me crazy
Honey, tell me what would make a sweet thing
Like you get a thing like that?
In The Right Place lyrics - Kix Brooks
Hey, pretty girl, just look at you tonight
A team a horses couldn't drag me away
You ain't got no business being lonely, baby
Oh, let me put a smile on your face
I hope you don't mind if I put a little
Otis Redding on, pour us a glass of wine
We'll dance like drunken fools 'cross my living room
Baby, pull your body close to mine
If you're needing a friend to talk to, baby
Lay it on me, I've got all night
If you're wanting a man who's wanting to hold ya
Come on, give these arms of mine a try
And if you're looking for something a little stronger
You ain't gotta look no longer
You're in the right place
Yeah, you're in the right place
Oh, look at me, I went and kissed you
Too late now to turn back now, you've got
That certain something and I just can't resist you
Let me show you what I'm all about
If you're needing a friend to talk to, baby
Lay it on me, I've got all night

If you're needing a friend to talk to, baby
Lay it on me, I've got all night
If you're wanting a man who's wanting to hold ya
Come on, give these arms of mine a try
And if you're looking for something a little stronger
Hey, baby, you ain't gotta look no longer
If you're needing a friend to talk to, baby
Lay it on me, I've got all night
If you're wanting a man who's wanting to hold ya
Come on, give these arms of mine a try

Next To That Woman lyrics - Kix Brooks
When I was young my buddies
Used to call me Jesse James
Living with the hammer down
Just trying to beat the train
I'd jump them tracks, don't look back
Leave the law behind
A finger out the window
While that police sirens whines
Crazy's something that I know
Hell, I been to Mexico
Juarez ain't got nothing on that woman
Fast ain't nothing new to me
I've been to Bristol, Tennessee
Them boys are standing still
She's smiling like it's Sunday
And she's singing in the choir
Them curves of hers are smoking
And she's trying to start a fire
Yeah, the way she's looking at me
I know I should run and hide
Instead I'm thinking, "Hello, Bonnie
You can call me Clyde"
Crazy's something that I know
Hell, I been to Mexico
Juarez ain't got nothing on that woman
Fast ain't nothing new to me
I've been to Bristol, Tennessee
Them boys are standing still
Yeah, when the good lord made her
Man, he did it mighty well
If he's got something better
Must have kept it for himself
And I'd walk through hell
To be next to that woman
Freight train never hit me
'Cause I made it 'cross the rails
And I never went to prison
'Cause my brother made my bail
How she's gonna get me?
Well, I guess it just depends
I haven't seen this movie
But I know the way it ends
Crazy's something that I know
Hell, I been to Mexico
Juarez ain't got nothing on that woman
Fast ain't nothing new to me
I've been to Bristol, Tennessee
Them boys are standing still
Crazy's something that I know
Hell, I been to Mexico
Juarez ain't got nothing on that woman
Fast ain't nothing new to me
I've been to Bristol, Tennessee
Them boys are standing still
Let's Do This Thing lyrics - Kix Brooks
There's a long line of cars
The parking lot's full of people already crying
It's the hottest day in seven years
And I ain't the only one here dying
Well, I wish I had a cigarette
Or one more shot of Jack
But you can't go back
When the church bell rings
Baby, let's do this thing
My first grade teacher never liked me
Who sent her an invitation?
I got second cousins rolling in
Like momma's got supper waiting
And the sheriff's on front row
Yeah, just to see me settling down
Wait till he finds out you're crazy as me
Baby, let's do this thing
'Cause I'm dressed, you're stressed
There's a church full of guests
And who turned on the heat
My collar's kinda tight, your face is kinda white
Girl, don't you pass out on me
'Cause if we can make it through just two I do's
We'll be off on a life-long dream
I got the limo and the preacher
And your little baby sister's got
The pillow and the wedding rings
Let's do this thing
Let's do this thing
I got the snorkel and the flip flops
Take you to the hot spot
Didn't pack a stitch of clothes
I'll be glad when this thing's over
Like some Ringling brother's show
And I know I wasn't suppose to see you
'Fore I saw you walking down the aisle
And it's gonna sound wild but don't dress up
For me, baby, let's do this thing
'Cause I m stressed, you're dressed
There's a church full of guests
And who turned on the heat
My collar's kinda tight, your face is kinda white
Girl, don't you pass out on me
'Cause if we can make it through just two I do's
We'll be off on a life-long dream
I got the limo and the preacher
And your little baby sister's got
The pillow and the wedding rings
Let's do this thing
Let's do this thing
Yeah, your momma won't cry forever
She'll think it's funny some day
She gave you away in a veil and jeans
Baby, let's do this thing
Let's do this thing
Let's do this thing
Closin' Time At Home lyrics - Kix Brooks
Well, I've been staring at you all night long
Pretty as a picture
Sitting this close with the lights down low
Hits me right in the ticker
Nobody's pulling the plug on the jukebox
Nobody's saying that's your last beer
Nobody's yelling I don't care where you go
But you can't stay here
When it's last call, no worries
Bartender ain't making us hurry
One thing's for sure, we ain't leaving alone
When it's closing time
When it's closing time
When it's closing time I'm at home
Right about now I'd be walking you out
To some dusty old parking lot
Waiting on a cab to take us to some other
Late night hot spot
Ain't no crowd here fighting for a slow dance
Or some ole cowboy trying to cut in
Yeah, I'd rather be here alone in the kitchen
Doing my best to get lucky again
When it's last call, no worries
Bartender ain't making us hurry
One thing's for sure, we ain't leaving alone
When it's closing time
When it's closing time
When it's closing time I'm at home
Yeah it's last call, but no worries
Bartender ain't making us hurry
One thing's for sure, we ain't leaving alone
When it's closing time
When it's closing time
When it's closing time I'm at home
No, we ain't gotta worry 'bout 'em stacking up the barstools
Sweeping up the broke glass
Throwing out the drunk fools
When it's closing time at home
When it's closing time
When it's closing time
When it's closing time I'm at home
She Knew I Was A Cowboy lyrics - Kix Brooks
I was leaning on the bar with a glass half empty
Washing down the dust when she brushed up against me
She was soft, she was pretty everything that I'm not
She said you look lonesome
I said yeah I get that a lot
And she knew I was a cowboy
I was born headed west
She knew I was a cowboy
When we met
I had mud on my boots and my hat stained with sweat
Lines on my face and miles of regret
But my silver belt buckle, it still caught her eye
The only thing I've got that still got its shine
And she knew I was a cowboy
I was born headed west
She knew I was a cowboy
When we met
Had a mind made up, both hands on the wheel
Her bags in the back of that old Oldsmobile
Left her tears on the pocket of my pearl button shirt
I whispered I loved her
But I don't think she heard
But she knew I was a cowboy
Not what she needed I guess?
But she knew I was a cowboy
When we met
Yeah, she knew I was a cowboy
When she left
Against The Wind lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
(originally by Bob Seger)
It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playing low
And the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
Till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove
And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh so tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then
Against the wind
We were runnin' against the wind
We were young and strong, we were runnin'
Against the wind
And the years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worried about paying or even how much I owed
Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searchin'
Searching for shelter again and again
Against the wind
A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind
Well those drifters days are past me now
I've got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out
Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
Well I'm older now and still
Against the wind
Best Of My Love lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
(originally by Eagles)
Every night I'm lyin' in bed
Holdin' you close in my dreams
Thinkin' about all the things that we said
Comin' apart at the seams
We try to talk it over
But the words come out too rough
I know you were tryin'
To give me the best of your love
Beautiful faces and loud, empty places
Look at the way that we live
Wastin' our time on cheap talk and wine
Left us so little to give
That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud
That we could never rise above
But here in my heart I give you the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin', you get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin', you get the best of my love
I'm goin' back in time
And it's a sweet dream
It was a quiet night and I would be all right
If I could go on sleepin'
But every mornin' I wake up and worry
What's gonna happen today
You see it your way, and I see it mine
But we both see it slippin' away
You know we always had each other, baby
I guess that wasn't enough
But here in my heart, I give you the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin', you get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin', you get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin', you get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin', you get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin', every night and day you get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin', you get the best of my love
(The best of my love)
Cabin In The Valley lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
Today, I climbed the hillside with the snowcapped evergreens
Stared down in the valley at a Christmas memory
Saw a young boy in a cabin hang a stockin' on a peg
Peace on Earth was ours down in the valley
Christmas dinner's cookin', the turkey's golden brown
There's a big old fire a-blazin', all the family's gathered 'round
There was nothin' quite as pretty in the cities or the towns
As my cabin in the valley when the snow is on the ground
Mama still plays carols on those worn out ivory keys
And Papa's hooked his old team up to fetch the Christmas tree
I watch my boy climb on a limb, shakin' loose the mistletoe
Just the way I did not so long ago
Christmas dinner's cookin', the turkey's golden brown
There's a big old fire a-blazin', all the family's gathered 'round
Well, there's nothin' quite as pretty in the cities or the towns
As my cabin in the valley when the snow is on the ground
Christmas dinner's cookin', the turkey's golden brown
There's a big old fire a-blazin', all the family's gathered 'round
Well, there's nothin' quite as pretty in the cities or the towns
As my cabin in the valley when the snow is on the ground
Corrine, Corrina lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
Corrina, Corrina
Corrina can you dance with me
Corrina can you dance with me
Corrina can you dance
Corrina, Corrina where you been so long
Corrina, Corrina where you been so long
I ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone
Well I love Corrina, tell the world I do
I love Corrina, tell the world I do
Just a little more loving let your heart be true
Corrina, Corrina where'd you stay last night
Corrina, Corrina where'd you stay last night
Come home this moring the sun was shinin' bright
Corrina, Corrina is it true what they say
Corrina, Corrina is it true what they say
That you're growing colder more and more every day
Corrina can you dance with me
Corrina can you dance with me
Corrina can you dance with me
Corrina can you dance with me
Corrina can you dance
Well I left Corrina far across the sea
I left Corrina way across the sea
You wouldn't write no letters,
She wouldn't talk to me
Corrina, Corrina be a pal of mine
Corrina, Corrina be a pal of mine
Oh, you got me walkin' just to keep from cryin'
Corrina, Corrina where you been so long
Corrina, Corrina where you been so long
I ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone
Corrina, Corrina where you been so long
Corrina, Corrina where you been so long
I ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone
Corrina can you dance with me
Corrina can you dance with me
Corrina can you dance with me
Corrina can you dance with me
Corrina can you dance...
Days Of Thunder lyrics - Brooks & Dunn
A lot of trucks lined up down by the lake
Drinkin' beer on the back of the tailgate
Boys from the valley want to start a fight
Hey baby, what you want to do tonight
The only fear a rebel heart knows
Nothing to do when anything goes
Looking back on those days of thunder
I shake my head and I have to wonder
How we ever made it through that
Girl tonight you're takin' me back
There's a road and a restless wind
Ain't it good to feel that way again
Here we are, the way we were
In those days of thunder
That old Ford is sure fast on the draw
Outgun the Chevys and outrun the law
Outskirts of town looking down on the lights
Waiting for some kind of lightning strike
The cars and the bars
The songs we knew have changed
The fire that burns inside of us still remains
Looking back on those days of thunder
I shake my head and I have to wonder
How we ever made it through that
Girl tonight you're taking me back
There's a road and a restless wind
Ain't it good to feel that way again
Here we are, the way we were
In those days of thunder
Yeah
Looking back on those days of thunder
I shake my head and I have to wonder
How we ever made it through that
Girl tonight you're taking me back
There's a road and a restless wind
Ain't it good to feel that way again
Here we are, the way we were
In those days of thunder
In those days of thunder, yeah
