billy currington - that changes everything

"That Changes Everything"

I said, "I know a shrimp boat captain out of Galveston"
I've been thinkin' I'd 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 there's 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
Ain't nothin' standin' in my way
But then she smiled at me
Looked a while at me

[Chorus]
And that changes everything
That's a whole 'nother deal
That puts a brand new spin
On this ole rollin' wheel
That's some powerful stuff
That's a girl in love
And that's one thing
That changes everything

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

[Chorus]
And that changes everything
That's a whole 'nother deal
That puts a brand new spin
On this ole rollin' wheel
That's some powerful stuff
That's a girl in love
And that's one thing that changes everything

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

billy currington - i wanna be a hillbilly

"I Wanna Be A Hillbilly"

[Chorus]
I wanna be a hillbilly, prayin' for the rain
Drink corn whiskey, raise a little cane
You can have the big city, I wanna be a hillbilly.

City folks got worries,
A country boy's got none
All I wanna be is the daddy of a farmer's son
Subdivisions are silly, I wanna be a hillbilly.

[Chorus]
I wanna be a hillbilly, prayin' for the rain
Drink corn whiskey, raise a little cane
You can have the big city, I wanna be a hillbilly.

When I get finished plowin'
I'm gonna go to the pond
And take my sweet baby
And have some good clean fun
You gotta work, that's a pity
I'm gonna be a hillbilly.

[Chorus]
I wanna be a hillbilly, prayin' for the rain
Drink corn whiskey, raise a little cane
You can have the big city, I wanna be a hillbilly.
When I die, throw me a big fine wake
And have a party in the barn
Let me lie in state
Plant me under that oak tree
I wanna be a hillbilly

[Chorus]
I wanna be a hillbilly, prayin' for the rain
Drink corn whiskey, raise a little cane
You can have the big city, I wanna be a hillbilly.

Subdivisions are silly
I wanna be a hillbilly.

billy currington - let me down easy

There's a little moonlight dancing on the sand
There's a warm breeze blowing by
the ocean as you're taking my hand
You need to know, where I'm standing now
That I'm right on the edge of giving into you
Baby, it's a long way down

If I fall, can you let me down easy
If I leave my heart with you tonight will
you promise me that you're gonna treat it right
I'm barely hanging on
If I fall, can you let me down easy

The scent of your perfume floating in the air
Looking like an angel laying on a blanket with a halo of hair
And those lips, they're too good to be true
Once I taste that kiss I know what'll happen
I'll be at the mercy of you

If I fall, can you let me down easy
If I leave my heart with you tonight will
you promise me that you're gonna treat it right
I'm barely hanging on
So if I fall, can you let me down easy

If I fall, can you let me down easy
If I leave my heart with you tonight will
you promise me girl you're gonna treat it right
I'm barely hanging on
If I fall, can you let me down easy

If I fall
Can you let me down easy
Let me down easy
Mmmhmmm mmm

Eye to eye, lips on lips
Swaying to the music real close
We can both use a little let go kind of night

Baby, if you want a good time

But don't fight it

So come on, baby bring on it
It's one of those stars forming, love calling

billy currington - don t

Dont you hate hearing that clock on the wall chimming saying its time and
Dont you just wish we could stay right here together all day long
You know it wouldnt be a crime if we crawled back into bed got as close as we could get
Tried to figure out where this thing is going

Baby, baby, dont, dont you say youre leaving
Why dont you stay a little bit longer
Got it going on and I just cant believe it
This feeling it just keeps getting stronger

If you gotta go you gotta know I might go crazy
Here without you baby
Reliving every kiss, you aint leaving me like this
It just aint right and wait until tonight to light another flame
You know it wouldnt be the same as the fire we got burning this morning

Baby, baby, dont, dont you say youre leaving
Why dont you stay a little bit longer
Got it going on and I just cant believe it
This feeling it just keeps getting stronger

No, Noone else can love me like you do
You know I aint even close to thru
Loving you...

Baby, baby, dont, dont you say youre leaving
Why dont you stay a little bit longer
Got it going on and I just cant believe it
This feeling it just keeps getting stronger

billy currington - pretty good at drinkin beer

I wasn't born for diggin deep holes
I'm not made for pavin long roads
I aint cut out to climb high line poles
But I'm pretty good at drinkin beer

I'm not the type to work in a bank
I'm no good at slappin on things
Don't have a knack for makin motors crank, no
But I'm pretty good at drinkin beer

So hand me one more
That's what I'm here for
I'm built for having a ball
I love the nightlife
I love my budlight
I like 'em cold and tall

I aint much for mowin thick grass
I'm too slow for workin' too fast
I don't do windows so honey don't ask
But I'm pretty good at drinkin' beer

A go getter maybe I'm not
I'm not known for doin' a lot
But I do my best work when the weather's hot
I'm pretty good at drinkin' beer

So hand me one more
That's what I'm here for
I'm built for having a ball
I love the nightlife
I love my budlight
I like 'em cold and tall

I wasn't born for diggin deep holes
I'm not made for pavin long roads
I aint cut out to climb high line poles
But I'm pretty good at drinkin beer
I'm pretty good at drinkin beer

[Spoken] So hand me one more boys...
That's what I'm here for

billy currington - little bit lonely

"Little Bit Lonely"

Well, I parked my car in the driveway
Somewhere around 1 am
Worn out from the road with a big heavy load
On my mind, what a week it had been
Then I stumbled into the kitchen
And I saw that little red light
Blinkin' at me from my message machine
Then I knew it would be alright
'Cause she said

"Baby, come over tonight
I'm a little bit lonely
Baby, come hold me tonight
I'm a little bit lonely"

Now it didn't take me a second 'til I knew
The right thing to do
I picked up the phone and said "Baby I'm home
I'll be there in a minute or two."
I stole some of my neighbor's daisies
Grabbed an old bottle of wine
She don't call me much but I know when she does
That I'm in for one helluva time
When she says,

"Baby, come over tonight
I'm a little bit lonely
Baby, come hold me tonight
I'm a little bit lonely"
Baby, baby, baby just for tonight
Be my one and only
Baby, come over tonight
I'm a little bit lonely

Yeah everybody needs a little love sometimes
Yeah, who am I to leave you hangin' high and dry
No baby, not tonight
No,no,no,no
Not tonight, now baby

"Baby, come over tonight
I'm a little bit lonely
Baby, come hold me tonight
I'm a little bit lonely"
Baby, baby just come hold me tight
You don't have to call me
Baby, baby, baby come over tonight
I'm a little bit lonely
I'm lonely, lonely, lonely
So come on baby
Said, "I'll be there in a minute or two."
And I brought those daises and that red wine
We had one hell of a time
Yeah, yeah, yeah

billy currington - walk on

You?re a modern day miracle
Anything but a typical girl
Mona Lisa on a sidewalk stand
Superstar in a common man world
Nothing?s been so beautiful

Wanna stop and ask your name
Take a picture of your pretty face
Shout to heaven, steal a kiss
Lay the world at your throne
I want to beg you to be mine for the rest of both our lives
But instead I catch my breath, shake my head, and I walk on

I know I?ve seen you somewhere before
In the mind behind door number 3
You?re a prayer you?re a gift from god
But there?s a bridge I cannot cross
It seems you're a distant dream
I will never hold you

I wanna stop and ask your name
Take a picture of your pretty face
Shot to heaven, steal a kiss
Leave the world at your throne
I want to beg you to be mine for the rest of both our lives
But instead I catch my breath, shake my head, and I walk on

I put one foot in front of another
I walk on
Knowing there will never be another

I wanna stop and ask your name
Take a picture of your pretty face
Shout to heaven, steal a kiss
Lay the world at your throne
I wanna beg you to be mine for the rest of both our lives
But instead I catch my breath, shake my head, and I walk on
I walk on

billy currington - here i am

Walks in the rain, talks in the dark
Old black and white movies, a day at the park
On a blanket on the ground on a Sunday afternoon
Hangin' with friends or off by ourselves
Drivin' around yard sale to yard sale
Droppin' by the county fair, winnin' you a bear poppin' balloons

If you're lookin' for someone to do that with, here I am
Someone to be the other half of your plans
Don't look any further than in my eyes
It you're lookin' for that man, here I am

December nights all cuddled up
Warmed by the fire and sharin' a cup
Of hot cocoa laughin' at old photos
Spanish guitars, sand and the sea
A quiet little table just you and me
Sippin' margaritas in a little cantina in Old Mexico

If you're lookin' for someone to do that with, here I am
Someone to be the other half of your plans
Don't look any further than in my eyes
It you're lookin' for that man, here I am

Talkin' 'bout life and talkin' 'bout babies
Talkin' bout us still in love when we're eighty

If you're lookin' for someone to do that with, here I am
Someone to be the other half of your plans
Don't look any further than in my eyes
It you're lookin' for that man, here I am

Here I am
Baby, here I am

billy currington - why why why

"Why, Why, Why"

I've been your lover, I've been your friend
I've been your faithful one-woman man
I've been your diamond in the rough
Now you say you wanna polish me up

[Chorus]
Why, why, why do you wanna change me now?
Ain't I the one you loved everything about?
You might start missin' the old me around
So why, why, why do you wanna change me now

I remember you used to like
Walkin' with me on my wilder side
My kind of crazy turned you on
Do you really want that part of me gone?

[Chorus]
Why, why, why do you wanna change me now?
Ain't I the one you loved everything about?
You might start missin' the old me around
So why, why, why do you wanna change me now

Why, why, why
Ain't I the one?
You might start missin'

[Chorus]
Why, why, why do you wanna change me now?
Ain't I the one you loved everything about?
You might start missin' the old me around
So why, why, why do you wanna change me now

billy currington - she s got a way with me

"She's Got A Way With Me"

It's a gentle touch, but more than enough
She can stop this ole world from spinnin' too much
It's a natural thing and I do believe
I found my reason to be

[Chorus]
She's got a way with me
She's got a way with me

I'm not the same man since she's been around
There's more to this life, I've suddenly found
I look at myself now so differently
It's her love that brings me peace

[Chorus]
She's got a way with me
She's got a way with me

Whatever it is, I'll always be under her spell
She'll always be all I'll ever need
I could search the whole world
And I know I'd never find
Someone perfect as her for me

Suddenly it's something
You just can't live without
Oh, you know you found love
Beyond any doubt
With a simple man's words
I can never convey all that I feel when I say

[Chorus]
She's got a way with me
She's got a way with me

She's got a way with me
(She's got a way with me)

billy currington - wake me up

If it's a Monday
Or Friday night
If it's a highway
Or a long red light

And that dashboard clock
Just crossed midnight
And I just crossed your mind

If you get to wondering
If I'm all alone
If I'm about to go out
If I'm staying home
Baby, don't hesitate
Go on and pick up the phone
No matter what time it is

You ain't gonna wake me up
Call me up when you're lonely
You ain't gonna wake me up
Cause I'm up and I'm only
Thinkin' about waking up with you
I miss you, I wish you'd
Come on and drive me crazy
It ain't ever too late baby
You ain't gonna wake me up
You ain't gonna wake me up

I might be drinking
At a bar down the street
I might be listening
To some song on repeat
I might be in my bed
But I won't be asleep
Don't you worry 'bout me

Oh, oh, oh

If you get to wondering
If I'm all alone
If I'm about to go out
If I'm staying home
Baby, don't hesitate
Go on and pick up that phone
No matter what time it is

You ain't gonna wake me up
Call me up when you're lonely
You ain't gonna wake me up
Cause I'm up and I'm only
Thinkin' about waking up with you
I miss you, I wish you'd
Come on and drive me crazy
It ain't ever too late baby
You ain't gonna wake me up
(Up call me up, call me up)
(Up call me up, call me up)
Nope

You ain't gonna wake me

1, 2, 3 in the morning
No I don't need any warning
Just show up
Just blow up my phone
Don't worry 'bout me
Cause you know

You ain't gonna wake me up
Call me up when you're lonely
You ain't gonna wake me up
Cause I'm up and I'm only
Thinkin' about waking up with you
I miss you
Come on and drive me crazy
It ain't ever too late baby

You ain't gonna wake me up
Call me up when you're lonely
You ain't gonna wake me up
Cause I'm up and I'm only
Thinkin' about waking up with you
I miss you, I wish you'd
Come on and drive me crazy
It ain't ever too late baby
You ain't gonna wake me up
You ain't gonna wake me up

You ain't gonna wake me up
No, no
Oh

1, 2, 3 in the morning

billy currington - love done gone

Don't worry, baby, sometimes things change
Nothin' we can do about it now, no way
This doesn't come easy, but that's just life
We can't keep pretendin' everything's alright
We told each other it was love before
The simple truth is it just ain't no more
The bells stop ringin', the music won't play
The crazy little feelin' that's faded away
Like snowflakes when the weather warms up
Like leaves on the trees when the autumn comes
Like the dogwood blossoms in a late spring rain
All the disappearin' bubbles in a glass of champagne
Like a red kite lost in a blue sky wind
I don't know where the good times end when
It ain't nothin' we ever said or ever did wrong
It's just love done gone
I don't regret a single thing that we did
Anytime together, we ever spent
I wouldn't change a thing, baby, you know
Sometimes we gotta just go with the flow
Like snowflakes when the weather warms up
Like leaves on the trees when the autumn comes
Like the dogwood blossoms in a late spring rain
All the disappearin' bubbles in a glass of champagne
Like money in a slot machine
Don't know what happened to you and me
It ain't nothin' we ever said or ever did wrong
It's just love done gone
It's just love done gone
It's just love done gone

billy currington - good directions

"Good Directions"

I was sittin' there sellin' turnips on a flatbed truck
Crunchin' or a pork rind when she pulled up
She had to be thinkin' "This is where the rednecks come from"
She had Hollywood written on her license plate
She was lost and lookin' for the interstate
Needin' directions and I was the man for the job

[Chorus]
I told her way up yonder past the caution light
There's a little country store with an old Coke sign
You gotta stop in and ask Miss Bell for some of her sweet tea
Then a left will take you to the interstate
But a right will bring you right back here to me

I was sittin' there thinkin' 'bout her pretty face
Kickin' myself for not catchin' her name
I threw my hat and thought, "You fool, that coulda been love"
I knew my old Ford couldn't run her down
She probably didn't like me anyhow
So I watched her disappear in a cloud of dust.

[Chorus]
I told her way up yonder past the caution light
There's a little country store with an old Coke sign
You gotta stop in and ask Miss Bell for some of her sweet tea
Then a left will take you to the interstate
But a right will bring you right back here to me

Is this Georgia heat playin' tricks on me
Or am I really seein' what I think I see
The woman of my dreams comin' back to me

She went way up yonder past the caution light
Don't know why, but somethin' felt right
When she stopped in and asked Miss Bell for some of her sweet tea
Mama gave her a big 'ol glass and sent her right back here to me

Thank God for good directions:and turnip greens

billy currington - walk a little straighther

"Walk A Little Straighter"

I remember looking up
To look up to him
And I remember most the time
He wasn't there
I'd be waiting at the door
When he got home at night
He'd pass me by to go to pass out in his chair

And I'd say
Walk a little straighter daddy
You're swaying side to side
You're footsteps make me dizzy
And no matter how I try
I keep tripping and stumbling
If you'd look down here you'd see
Walk a little straighter daddy
You're leading me

He stumbled in the gym
On graduation day
And I couldn't help but feel
So ashamed
And I wasn't surprised a bit
When he didn't stay
He stumbled out before they called my name

And I thought
Walk a little straighter daddy
You're swaying side to side
It's not just me who's watching
you've caught everybody's eye
And you're tripping and stumbling
and even though I've turned 18
Walk a little straighter daddy
You're still leading me

The old mans still like he always was
But I love him anyway
If I've learned one thing from him
Its my kids will never have to say

Walk a little straighter daddy
You're swaying side to side
You're footsteps make me dizzy
And no matter how I try
I keep tripping and stumbling
if you'd look down here you'd see
Walk a little straighter daddy
You're leading me

Yeah walk a little straighter daddy
You're leading me
