"My Memory Ain't What It Used To Be" Lyrics

"My Memory Ain't What It Used To Be" Lyrics (Relentless album)

Written By Bryan Simpson, Wade Kirby, Ashley Gorley

[Verse 1:]

It must have been a mountain standin' in our way.

Or some small misunderstandin' we talked about too late.

Was it the kitchen or the bedroom,

Where we let a good thing go?

Was it destined dreams or space we needed? Oh, I don't know.

[Chorus:]

Baby, lately my memory ain't what it used to be at all.

It's crazy, but holdin' you close to me,

Seein' you smile at me is all that I recall.

'Cause, baby, it don't matter how hard I try,

I still can't remember why we said goodbye.

[Instrumental break.]

[Verse 2:]

Maybe time's just playin' tricks on me these days,

Or maybe these old feelin's never went away.

'Cause all that I remember,

Is I'm still in love with you.

An' if I'm losin' my mind, I hope you are too.

[Chorus:]

Baby, lately my memory ain't what it used to be at all.

It's crazy, but holdin' you close to me,

Seein' you smile at me is all that I recall.

'Cause, baby, it don't matter how hard I try,

I still can't remember why we said goodbye.

Goodbye.

[Coda:]

It's crazy, but holdin' you close to me,

Seein' you smile at me is all that I recall.

'Cause, baby, it don't matter how hard I try,

I still can't remember why we said goodbye.

Why we said goodbye.

Why did we say goodbye?

"My Kinda Party" Lyrics

"My Kinda Party" Lyrics (My Kinda Party album)

Written By Brantley Gilbert

[Instrumental intro.]

[Verse 1:]

Worked all week, cleaned up,

Clean cut an' clean shaved.

I got the cover off the ’68.

I fired it up an' let them horses sing.

A little pretty thing.

A little tan-legged Georgia dream.

A-she’s a-rockin’ them holey jeans.

Baby, what you got goin’ on Saturday?

You know, words got it,

There’s gonna be a party.

Outta town about half a mile.

Four-wheel drives an' big mud tires.

Muscadine{1} wine.

[Chorus:]

Oh, baby, you can find me

In the back of a jacked-up tailgate.

Sittin’ ‘roun' watchin’ all these pretty things

A-git down in that Georgia clay.

An' I’ll find peace

At the bottom of a real tall cold drink.

Chillin' to some Skynyrd{2} an' some old Hank{3}.

Let's get this thing started.

It’s my kinda party.

[Verse 2:]

If you wanna drink

Go, baby, just do your thing.

A-give up your keys,

Hell, why drive when you can stay with me?

Then after while,

We’ll sneak away from the bonfire.

Walk by the moonlight

An' down t' the riverside.

Gotcha sippin’ on the moonshine.{4}

Baby, if you’re in the mood,

An' you can settle for a one-night a-rodeo.{5}

You can be my tan-legged Juliet,

I’ll be your Redneck Romeo.

[Chorus:]

Oh, baby, you can find me

In the back of a jacked-up tailgate.

Sittin’ ‘roun' watchin’ all these pretty things

A-git down in that Georgia clay.

An' I’ll find peace

At the bottom of a real tall cold drink.

Chillin' to some Skynyrd an' some old Hank.

Let's get this thing started.

It’s my kinda party.

[Short instrumental break.]

[Chorus:]

Oh, baby, you can find me

In the back of a jacked-up tailgate.

Sittin’ ‘roun' watchin’ all these pretty things

Git down in that Georgia clay.

An' I’ll find peace

At the bottom of a real tall cold drink.

Chillin' to some Skynyrd an' some old Hank.

Let's get this thing started.

It’s my kinda party.

Ha-ha.

Y'all ready for this?

Y'all go on an' turn it on up.

"Love Was Easy" Lyrics

"Love Was Easy" Lyrics (Wide Open album)

Written By Justin Weaver, David Frasier

[Verse 1:]

It seems like money,

Is always on our minds these days.

Make more, spend more,

Worry how the bills'll get paid.

Oh, it wasn't that long ago,

But it seems so far away,

When we didn't have a damn thing,

But we were happy.

[Chorus:]

An' love was easy,

Just layin' on a river bank

All night countin' the stars.

Love was easy,

As that feelin' we found

In the back seat of my car.

A-even in the dark love was easy.

A-when we didn't make it so hard.

[Verse 2:]

Can you tell me,

The last time we really laughed?

The last time we had a moment?

When we hated that the moment passed?

Here we are down the road,

Standin' here lookin' back.

Seein' what we used to have,

Is what we're missin'.

[Chorus:]

An' love was easy,

Just layin' on a river bank

All night countin' the stars.

Love was easy,

As that feelin' we found

In the back seat of my car.

A-even in the dark love was easy.

A-when we didn't make it so hard.

[Short instrumental break.]

[Bridge:]

Maybe that's how it is.

Ah, maybe that's how it goes.

But all I know...

[Chorus:]

Is love was easy,

Just layin' on a river bank

All night countin' the stars.

Love was easy,

As that feelin' we found

In the back seat of my car.

A-even in the dark love was easy.

A-when we didn't make it so hard.

[Coda:]

When we didn't make it so hard.

Love was easy, baby, yeah.

A-when we didn't make it so hard.

"Lonesome U.S.A." Lyrics

"Lonesome U.S.A." Lyrics (Jason Aldean album)

Written By Mark Wright, Kim Tribble, David Lee Murphy

[Verse 1:]

Drove half way to town last night an' I turned around,

In a field full fireflies makin' such a lonely sound.

As my headlights flashed on a mailbox by the road,

I realized that I was livin' in a new zip code.

[Chorus:]

Well, I'm livin' in Lonesome, U.S.A.

Population one since yesterday.

Livin' an' dyin' in the hell I made,

Since you been gone.

Right now, my mind's in another state.

Ain't enough heart here left to break.

I'm livin' in Lonesome, Lonesome, U.S.A.

[Verse 2:]

I never knew the sound of silence could be so loud.

It's hard gettin' used to livin' in an empty house.

Yeah, I know I can come an' go any time I please,

But there's some'in' I miss about you waitin' up on me.

[Chorus:]

Well, I'm livin' in Lonesome, U.S.A.

Population one since yesterday.

Livin' an' dyin' in the hell I made,

Since you been gone.

Right now, my mind's in another state.

Ain't enough heart here left to break.

I'm livin' in Lonesome, Lonesome, U.S.A.

[Verse 3:]

Hey, I could drive all night an' be right here where I am.

An' still be just as lost till you come back.

Hey, I look around here an' it don't take long to see,

Oh, where I am right now's no place to be.

[Instrumental break.]

[Chorus:]

Lonesome, U.S.A.

Population one since yesterday.

Livin' an' dyin' in the hell I made,

Since you been gone.

Right now, my mind's in another state.

Ain't enough heart here left to break.

I'm livin' in Lonesome, Lonesome, U.S.A.

Hey, I'm livin' in Lonesome, Lonesome U.S.A.

Hey, I'm livin' in Lonesome, Lonesome U.S.A.

"Laughed Until We Cried" Lyrics

"Laughed Until We Cried" Lyrics (Relentless album)

Written By Kelley Lovelace, Ashley Gorley

[Verse 1:]

Goin' through my closet the other day,

I found an old yearbook.

Flipped right to the page of that senior trip,

Down there on that Panama strip.

We all started yellin' when we smelled the beach,

Couldn't wait to try our fake I.D.'s.

We only had a few days,

An' a whole lot of memories to make.

[Chorus 1:]

Oh, man, we were livin'.

Didn't waste one minute.

We talked an' drank,

An' danced an' said goodbye.

We laughed until we cried.

[Verse 2:]

This past year my family,

Was sittin' cross-legged 'round the Christmas tree.

Listenin' to gran'dad,

We all knew it'd prob'bly be his last.

He was crackin' jokes an' we were takin' turns,

Tellin' stories 'bout fishin' or lessons learned.

Out on the porch with him,

We all felt like kids again.

[Chorus 2:]

Oh, man, we were livin'.

Sittin' there reminiscin'

We sang an' talked,

An' traveled back in time.

We laughed until we cried.

[Short Instrumental break.]

[Bridge:]

It's like the best days under the sun.

Ev'ry emotion rolled into one.

A little o' this, a little o' that.

Kinda happy, kinda sad.

[Verse 3:]

Just the other night the baby was cryin',

So, I got out of bed an' rocked her awhile.

An' I held her tight,

An' I told her it would be alright.

An' my mind went back to a few years ago,

When we tried so long we almost gave up hope.

An' I remember you comin' in,

An' tellin' me the news.

[Chorus 3:]

Oh, man, we were livin'.

Goin' crazy in the kitchen.

We danced an' screamed,

An' held each other tight.

We laughed until we cried.

"Keep The Girl" Lyrics

"Keep The Girl" Lyrics (Wide Open album)

Written By Neil Thrasher, Wendell Mobley, Jason Aldean

[Verse 1:]

This life is full of choices,

Hard to make one,

All the voices in my head.

Those blue eyes I'm in love with,

Or that highway, whichever I pick.

There'll be regrets,

I go one way I lose everything,

I go the other way, same thing.

[Chorus:]

I'm torn an' it's tearin' me apart.

I want to go but I don't wanna break her heart.

Like a sword with a double-edge blade,

It's gonna cut deep either way.

This little town, (This little town.)

That big ol' world, (That big ol' world.)

Chase the dream, (Gonna keep the girl.)

Or keep the girl?

[Verse 2:]

More than once I packed it all up,

(But I break down.)

But I break down, blame it on the truck.

Just couldn't go. (Just go.)

Just wanna be out there makin' my mark,

Lay down every night in her arms.

[Chorus:]

I'm torn an' it's tearin' me apart.

I want to go but I don't wanna break her heart.

Like a sword with a double-edge blade,

It's gonna cut deep either way.

This little town, (This little town.)

That big ol' world, (That big ol' world.)

Chase the dream, (Gonna keep the girl.)

Or keep the girl?

[Instrumental break.]

[Bridge:]

I don't know why I can't have it all.

Need to tear down that a-wall.

Between this little town that big ol' world,

Go chase my dream an' keep the girl.

[Chorus:]

I'm torn an' it's tearin' me apart.

I want to go but I don't wanna break her heart.

Like a sword with a double-edge blade,

It's gonna cut deep either way.

This little town, (This little town.)

That big ol' world, (That big ol' world.)

Chase my dream, (Gonna keep the girl.)

An' keep the girl?

[Coda:]

I want it all.

Keep the girl.

Hey.

"A Grown Woman" Lyrics

"A Grown Woman" Lyrics (Relentless album)

Written By Hillary Lindsey, Brett James

[Verse 1:]

Pain, it's only a little pain,

It'll be gone in a couple of days,

Or maybe a life or two.

Heart, it's only my poor heart,

Just that little thing you tore apart,

It ain't no headline news.

[Chorus 1:]

But a grown woman should've known better,

Than to treat me like some old lipstick,

You use up an' throw away.

Hey-hey-hey.

[Verse 2:]

Time, I wish I could turn back time,

To when you were just a child.

An' teach you a thing or two about love,

It's okay if you wanna give up,

But there's a way to leave someone,

An' you don't have to be so cruel.

[Chorus 2:]

'Cause a grown woman shoulda' known better,

Than to treat me like some old dish rag,

You use up an' throw away.

Hey-hey-hey.

[Bridge:]

You're supposed to treat your lover,

At least as good as your neighbor.

So how could you, a grown woman,

Not know no better?

[Instrumental break.]

[Coda:]

I ain't no old lipstick,

You use up an' throw away.

'Cause you're ready for another shade.

Hey-hey, hey.

You should've known better,

'Cause you're a grown woman.
