Quotes
[edit]- Let's shake hands & reach across those party lines, you got ur friends just like I got mine, we might think a little differently but we got a lot n common u will see, we're just like you....ONLY PRETTIER!!
- I guess if you don’t jump, you’ll never know if you can fly.
Lyrics
[edit]- Forget your high society, I'm soakin' it in kerosene.
Light 'em up and watch them burn, teach them what they need to learn; ha!
Dirty hands ain't made for shakin', ain't a rule that ain't worth breakin'.
Well, I'm givin' up on love 'cause love's given up on me.- "Kerosene", written with Steve Earle
- And I'll grab the wheel and point it west,
Pack the good and leave the rest.
I'll drive until I find the missing piece.
You said I wouldn't get too far on a tank of gas
And an empty heart,
But I have everything I'll ever need.
I got this old guitar and a brand new set of strings.
- Sweet like a kiss, sharp like a razor blade,
I find you when I'm close to the bottom.
You can't appreciate the time it takes
To kick a love I always knew was kind of wrong.
And as I'm putting out the flame,
Somebody brings up your name.- "Bring Me Down", written with Travis Howard
- So you treat your love like a firefly, like it only gets to shine, for a little while
Catch it in a mason jar with holes in the top and run like hell to show it off
Oh, promises were made when we'd go walking
That's just me and Charlie talking.- "Me and Charlie Talking", written with Rick Lambert and Heather Little
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (2007)
[edit]- I'm going home, gonna load my shotgun,
Wait by the door and light a cigarette.
If he wants a fight, well, now he's got one.
And he ain't seen me crazy yet.
He slapped my face and he shook me like a rag doll
Don't that sound like a real man?
I'm gonna show him what little girls are made of:
Gunpowder and lead.- "Gunpowder & Lead", written with Heather Little
- Every last one, route one, rural heart's got a story to tell
Every grandma, in-law, ex-girlfriend
Maybe knows you just a little too well
Whether you're late for church or you're stuck in jail
Hey, word's gonna get around
Everybody dies famous in a small town.- "Famous in a Small Town", written with Travis Howard
- Forgiving you,
Well, she's stronger than I am.
You don't look much like a man from where I'm at.
It's plain to see desperation showed it's truth
You love her, and she loves you with all she has
I guess I should've been more like that.
Revolution (2009)
[edit]- Hey, white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
And I don't know why, white liar.- "White Liar", written with Natalie Hemby
- So lets shake hands and reach across those party lines
You got your friends just like I got mine.
We might think a little differently,
But we got a lot in common, you will see.
We're just like you, only prettier.- "Only Prettier", written with Natalie Hemby
- I feel like this long string of lights,
They lit up our whole house on Christmas day.
But now it's January, and the bulbs have all burned out.
But still, they hang,
Like dead flowers.
- 'Cause I heard Jesus, he drank wine
And I bet we'd get along just fine.
He could calm a storm and heal the blind,
And I bet he'd understand a heart like mine.- "Heart Like Mine", written with Blake Shelton, Charles Kelley, and Dave Haywood
Four the Record (2011)
[edit]- My reputation follows me around,
Just makes me wanna give them more to talk about.
Let’s go to town for a little while,
I’ll be wearing nothin' but a tattoo and a smile.Ain’t no use in tryin' to slow me down,
‘Cause you’re runnin' with the fastest girl in town.
Ain’t ya, baby?
You're kinda crazy.- "Fastest Girl in Town", written with Angaleena Presley
- At the baggage claim, you got a lot of luggage in your name
When you hit the ground, check the lost and found
Cause it ain't my problem now
I can't carry it on, I've got a lot of troubles on my own
It's all over the yard, in the trunk of the car
I'm packing' it in, so come and get it.- "Baggage Claim", written with Natalie Hemby and Luke Laird
- But you went away
How dare you?
I miss you.
They say I’ll be OK.
But I’m not going to ever get over you.- "Over You", written with Blake Shelton
- Hey, whatever happened to waitin' your turn?
Doing it all by hand?<br?Cause when everything is handed to you,
It's only worth as much as the time put in.
It all just seemed so good the way we had it,
Back before everything became automatic.- "Automatic", written with Nicolle Galyon and Natalie Hemby
The Weight of These Wings (2016)
[edit]- If you borrow dresses like you borrow time,
If you dream all day and drink all night,
If you're looking for love but willing to fight
Over men and mama's and Miller Lites,
Well then, we should be friends.I don't know you well but I know that look.
And I can judge the cover 'cause I read the book
On losing sleep and gaining weight,
On pain and shame and crazy trains.
- Another vice, another town
Where my past can't run me down.
Another life, another call,
Another bed I shouldn't crawl out of
At 7 AM with shoes in my hand.
Said I wouldn't do it, but I did it again.
And I know I'll be gone tomorrow night.
Mm, another vice.- "Vice", written with Josh Osborne and Shane McAnally
- Hey there, Mr. Tin Man,
You don't know how lucky you are.
You shouldn't spend your whole life wishin'
For something bound to fall apart.
Every time you're feeling empty,
Better thank your lucky stars.
If you ever felt one breaking,
You'd never want a heart.- "Tin Man", written with Jack Ingram and Jon Randall
- 'Cause it'll all come out, all come out in the wash.
It'll all come out, all come out in the wash.
Every little stain, every little heartbreak,
No matter how messy it got.
You take the sin and the men and you throw 'em all in
And you put that sucker on spin.- "It All Comes Out in the Wash", written with Hillary Lindsey, Lori McKenna, and Liz Rose
- I'm a wild child and a homing pigeon,
Caravan and an empty kitchen.
Bare feet on the tile with my head up in the clouds
One heart goin' both directions,
One love and a couple of questions:
Am I settlin' up or settlin' down?
Am I settlin' up or settlin' down?- "Settling Down", written with Luke Dick and Natalie Hemby
- And if the house just keeps on winning,
I got a wildcard up my sleeve.
And if love keeps giving me lemons,
I'll just mix 'em in my drink.
And if the whole wide world stops singing
And all the stars go dark,
I'll keep a light on in my soul,
Keep a bluebird in my heart.- "Bluebird", written with Luke Dick and Natalie Hemby
- If I was a cowboy, I'd be wild and free,
Rolling around these towns like tumbleweeds.
I'd be a legend at loving and leaving,
Nipping on a whiskey and numbing up my feelings.
You thought the west was wild, but you ain't saddled up with me,
If I was a cowboy, I'd be the queen.- "If I Was a Cowboy", written with Jesse Frasure
