So, there’s somewhere ya gotta be?

Well, I sure hate to see you leave
I’ll break my grip, but babe you need to know
Next time I might not let you go

Chorus 1:
I know what you said

And I wanted that too

But takin’ it slow’s gettin’ harder to do
It’s feelin’ more and more like forever

Holdin’ you close

And next time I might not let you go

Verse 2:
Good thing I don’t get paid to think

Cause I sure thought I had the strength
To fight love off, but my resistance is runnin’ low
And next time I might not let you go

Chorus 2:
I know what you said

And I wanted that too

But takin’ it slow’s gettin’ harder to do
It’s feelin’ more and more like forever

Hold on for dear life

Chorus
Yeah, they?re spinnin? their wheels, Castin? their reels, Way back on them ol?
county roads, Singin? in bars, Soupin their cars just to see how fast they?ll go
From a ball and glove to them fallin? in love, They do everything heart and soul
That?s how country boys roll

Verse 2
Well if you don?t know your way around, They?ll draw you a map
And if you?re broke and you ask, They?ll give you the shirt off their back
All they need is a little gas, A few dollars to fold
That?s how country boys roll

INTRO: A D A D

I said, I know a shrimp boat captain out of Galveston
Ive been thinkin Id go down and work for a spell
Oh, you never can tell it just might suit me fine
Spend some time out on the bay
But then theres always cowboy work in Colorado

And I was thinkin that that just might be the thing
Make a little pocket change I figure what the heck
Aint nothin standin in my way
But then she smiled at me
Looked a while at me

CHORUS:
And that changes everything
Thats a whole nother deal
That puts a brand new spin
On this ole rollin wheel
Thats some powerful stuff
Thats a girl in love
And thats one thing
That changes everything

VERSE: Exact same as the first

Well, I suppose on second thought this ole town aint so bad
Wouldnt hurt me to unload this load of mine
And theres a for sale sign on a little house
I saw just about a mile or so from here
But Ive always been the kind for pullin up the stakes
Its ain’t never been like me to put down roots
But now Im thinkin, Who am I kiddin?
I aint goin nowhere
When she smiles at me
Looks a while at me

CHORUS: Keep playing the chorus chord progression from here,
all the way to the end of the song.

And that changes everything
Thats a whole nother deal
That puts a brand new spin
On this ole rollin wheel
Thats some powerful stuff
Thats a girl in love
And thats one thing that changes everything

Thats a whole nother deal
That puts a brand new spin
On this ole rollin wheel
That changes everything
Ah, yeah
That changes everything

Capo 3

I prefer the fiddle to the violin
And I tend to think that supermodels are too thin
And I think who you are is who you oughtta be
But that’s just me

The best of Andy Griffith was in black and white
Fishin’ still beats workin’ if you never get a bite
And coffee’s kinda pointless without caffeine
But that’s just me

Chorus:
And I believe in [D/F#]little that I hear and only half of what I see
And I believe that [D/F#]living by the book is harder than it used to be
And I’m convinced that lovin’ you
Is gonna be the secret to my longevity but that’s just me

I’ve never seen a place that I like more than home
When I go to the movies, I don’t take a telephone
And I’ll buy the gas, but oughtta get the air for free
But that’s just me

I’ve never even been to mars, but I’m a man
And I accept the fact that women are just hard to understand
I think people take themselves too seriously
But that’s just me

Repeat Chorus

Hey, that’s just me
That’s just me

Intro: G Am C G (2x)

That backward town, in my rearview
Was gonna be my whole world
Til my factory job, got shipped to Mexico
And a city boy stole my sweet girl

I used to know everybody by name
Everybody’s moved away
Can’t say that I’m really wantin’ to go
But I’ve run out of reasons to stay

(chorus)
This ain’t nothin’ like what I,
had in mind for me
Then again my future,
Ain’t what it used to be

Well I thought like my dad, and his daddy before
That I would die where I was born
Live a smalltown dream in a big backyard
Raisin’ babies and corn

Now here I am, one eye on the road
Tryin’ to read the map on the dash
Nowhere close to making up my mind
With a fork in the road comin’ fast

(chorus 2x)

G (one strum) Am (one strum)
That backward town, in my rear view
(pick) C D G
Was gonna be my whole world

Outro: G Am C G (play to fade)

Intro G G6 GMa7 G6 G x2

He never tells me that he’s sick of this house
He never says why don’t you get off that couch?
He dont cost me nothin when he wants to go out
I want you to love me like my dog

He never says I need a new attitude
Him and my sister ain’t always in a feud
When I leave the seat up he don’t think that it’s rude
I want you to love me like my dog does Baby

When I come home, I want you to just go crazy
He never looks at me like he might hate me
I want you to love me like my dog

He never acts like he don’t care for my friends
He never asks me where in the hell have you been?
He dont play dead when I wanna pet him
I want you to love me like my dog does honey

He never says ‘I wish you made more money’
He always thinks that pull my finger is funny
I want you to love me like my dog[(Bass-][B)]

He dont get mad at me and throw a major fit
When I say his sister is a bch!

I want you to love me like my dog does baby
When I come home, I want you to just go crazy
He never looks at me like he might hate me
I want you to love me like my dog
I want you to love me like my dog does Baby

Intro : A

In a bar in Toledo, across from the depot,
On a barstool she took off her ring.

I thought I’d get closer, so I walked on over.
I sat down and asked her her name.

When the drinks finally hit her, she said, Im no quitter
But I finally quit living on dreams.
I’m hungry for laughter, and here ever after
Whatever the other life brings.”

In the mirror I saw him, and I closely watched him.
I thought how he looked out of place.
He came to the woman who sat there beside me
He had a strange look on his face.

The big hands were calloused, he looked like a mountain,
For a minute I thought I was dead.
But he started shaking, his big heart was breaking,
He turned to the woman and said,

(Chorus)
“You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
With four hungry children and a crop in the field.
I've had some bad times, I’ve lived through some sad times,
But this time the hurtin’ won’t heal.

E A ———> B

You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille.

After he left us, I ordered more whiskey.
I thought how she’d made him look small.
From the lights of the barroom to the rented hotel room
we walked without talking at all.

She was a beauty, but when she came to me
She must have thought I’d lost my mind.
I couldn’t hold her, for the words that he told her
Kept comin’ back time after time.

(Chorus)
“You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
With four hungry children and a crop in the field.
I’ve had some bad times,
I’ve lived through some sad times,
But this time the hurtin’ won’t heal.
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille.

(Chorus)
“You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
With four hungry children and a crop in the field.
I’ve had some bad times,
I’ve lived through some sad times,
But this time the hurtin’ won’t heal.
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille.
