brad paisley - flowers

Long stem things of beauty
Created by the good Lord
Cut down in the prime of their lives
Boxed up, wrapped in paper
Delivered to your front door
Just to wind up in your garbage can outside

[Chorus]
Tell me how many flowers have to die
Before you give this love another try
I've asked you to forgive me at least 9 dozen times
Tell me how many flowers have to die

I'm crazy and I'm desperate
I had you and I blew it
And right now I've got nothing left to lose
I've got a Visa in my wallet
And I'm not afraid to use it
How long the needless violence lasts
Is really up to you

[Repeat chorus]

Stop the senseless killing
Can't you hear the roses cry
Baby, how many flowers have to die
Tell me how many flowers have to die

brad paisley - ode de toilet

She says not to buy her flowers
Or big expensive gifts
She says she don't want jewlery
And she doesn't need another dress
If I want to show her how much I adore her
The best way that I've found
Is to make sure when I'm finished
I put that toilet seat down

We've been to counciling
To try and see the ways we could improve
This thing between us
And different ways to show each other "I love you"
Forget about those getaway vacations
To romantic coastal towns
If you want to say "I love you"
Then put that toilet seat down

'Cause in the middle of the night
It's cold and it's dark
And when I hear my name in vain
I know I haven't done my part
She just wants me to support her
And the best way that I've found
So with a gentle hand and a loving touch
I put that toilet seat down

I know it's kind of funny
You can teach a little puppy
But it's very hard to train a grown man
When I'm all about my buisiness
And the path of least resistance
She's the one that suffers in the end

In the middle of the night
It's cold and it's dark
And when I hear my name in vain
I know I haven't done my part
She just wants me to support her
And the best way that I've found
So with a gentle hand and a loving touch
I put that toilet seat down
Down, down

brad paisley - american saturday night

Woahhhhh woahhhhhhh
She's got Brazilian leather boots on the pedal of her German car
Listen to the Beatles singing back in the Ussr
Yeah she's goin' around the world tonight
But she ain't leavin' here
She's just going to meet her boyfriend down at the
street fair

It's a French kiss, Italian ice
Spanish maltz in the moonlight
Just another American Saturday night

There's a big toga party tonight down at Delic High
They've got Canadian bacon on there pizza pie
They've got a cooler full of cold Coronas and Amstel light
It's like we're all livin' in a big ol' cup
Just fire up the blender, mix it all up

It's a French kiss, Italian ice
Margaritas in the moonlight (woahhhh)
Just another American Saturday night

You know everywhere there's something there known for
Although usually it washes up on our shores
My great great great granddaddy stepped off of that ship
I bet he never ever dreamed we'd have all this

You know everywhere has somethin' there known for
Although usually it washes up on our shores
Little Italy, Chinatown, sittin' there side by side
Live from New York, It's Saturday Night!

French kiss, Italian eyes,
Spanish maltz in the moonlight
just another American, just another American, It's just another American Saturday night

brad paisley - the cigar song

Well I'm a sucker for fine Cuban cigars
The problem is I can't afford 'em
But last year I went and got myself a whole box
And just to be safe I insured 'em

Chorus
I took out a policy against fire and theft
And then I hurried home
With a thirty-cent lighter I sat on my back steps
And I smoked 'em one by one

Two weeks later I went to see that insurance man
And I handed in my claim
With a straight face I told him that through a series of small fires
They'd all gone up in flames

2nd Chorus
They reviewed my case and they had no choice
But to pay me for what I'd done
And I took that check and bought a whole new box
And I smoked 'em one by one

Two weeks later this detective shows up
Tells me that company's pressin' charges
One speedy trial later they locked me up
On twenty-four separate counts of arson

3rd Chorus
And now I sit and stare at a blank brick wall
Lookin' back on what I've done
To pass the time I've got some ten-cent cigars
And I smoke 'em one by one
Yeah, I smoke 'em one by one

brad paisley - in the garden

I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The son of God discloses

And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known

He speaks and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet that the birds hush their singing
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing

And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known

And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known

brad paisley - find yourself

When you find yourself
In some far off place
And it causes you to rethink some things
You start to sense that slowly
You're becoming someone else
And then you find yourself

When you make new friends in a brand new town
And you start to think about settling down
The things the would have been lost on you
Are now clear as a bell
And you find yourself
Yeah that's when you find yourself

Where you go through life
So sure of where you're headin'
And you wind up lost and it's
The best thing that could have happened
'Cause sometimes when you lose your way it's really just as well
Because you find yourself
Yeah that's when you find yourself

When you meet the one
That you've been waitin' for
And she's everything that you want and more
You look at her and you finally start to live for some one else
And then you find yourself
That's when you find yourself

When we go through life
So sure of where we're headin'
And we wind up lost and it's
The best thing that could have happened
'Cause sometimes when you loss your way it's really just as well
Because you find yourself
Yeah that's when you find yourself

brad paisley - high life

I can still remember when
Grandpa died and our ship came in
Daddy said he left Mama and him
More money than we'd ever seen
Just like that, we were thousandaires
Had a brand new boat and a Frigidaire
And all us kids in our underwear
Were jumpin' on a trampoline

A bunch of lowlifes livin' the high life
Money burnin' a hole right
Through the pockets of our holey jeans
Grandpa's with the Lord now
But we got a new Ford now
And we can watch the Big Orange now
On a 57 inch Tv

The money was gone by mid-July
We went back to just gettin' by
'Til Mama slipped on a patch of ice
Outside of Chick-fil-A
Now we knew they was a Christian bunch
So we didn't ask for all that much
Settled out of court for ten thousand bucks
And free chicken 'til our dyin' day

A bunch of lowlifes livin' the high life
Money burnin' a hole right
Through the pockets of our holey jeans
Mama's got a limp now
But we all get to swim now
'Cause we got an aboveground
Sittin' out by the trampoline

We rocked, we rolled, we lived it up
'Til it started runnin' thin
We began lookin' for a way to spin that wheel again

I heard a song a couple months ago
It was Carrie Underwood on the radio
Reminded me of a poem my brother wrote
Back in second grade
I know she didn't steal it but so what
We lawyered up and we sued her butt
These days we figured we'd pretty much
Get paid to go away

A bunch of lowlifes livin' the high life
Money burnin' a hole right
Through the pockets of our holey jeans
The song's at number one now
Gonna get a hot tub now
Sittin' next to the aboveground
Which is next to the trampoline

It's gonna run out someday
That ain't gonna be a fun day
But as long as it ain't a Sunday
We can go to Chick-fil-A and eat

brad paisley - you shouldn t have to

You've got this confidence, yeah it was obvious
The way you walked in here
You look sensational and totally capable
Of buying your own beer
But you shouldn't have to
You shouldn't have to

I hate to think about everything you've done without
Or how it's been before
You've ever walked home alone or sat and waited by the phone
Or opened your own door
You shouldn't have to
You shouldn't have to

Do you ever wonder when your dreams will come true
A girl like you can do anything
But anything you don't wanna do
You shouldn't have to
You shouldn't have to

You ever long for a back rub
All alone in your bathtub
Need your glass of wine topped off
But you have to get out and dry off, aw
You shouldn't have to
You shouldn't have to

Do you ever wonder when your dreams will come true
A girl like you can do anything
But anything you don't wanna do

Like wash your own car or bait your own hook
Get all made up, wonder how you look
Make your own breakfast, make the first move
Feel like you ain't being listened to
Kill your own spiders, change a flat tire
Stoke your own fire, mow your own grass
Pump your own gas, ever feel pain
Wish you had a ring on your hand
Feel like anything less than the best-lookin' thing this town's ever seen
Have a dress you'd love to wear but you gotta wait
'Cause there ain't nobody there to help you zip the thing

You shouldn't have to
You shouldn't have to
You shouldn't have to

brad paisley - easy money

I remember working on a rooftop
In the hot summer sun all day
Now I work two hours a night
It feels a lot more like play

'Fore Kenny joined the band
He used to hang dry wall
Ben worked down at Valentino's
So when you see us up here and think
Man they're lucky
You don't have to tell us 'cause we know

[Chorus]
Yeah, we're laughing all the way to the bank
'Cause it all just seems so funny
A bunch of guys like us
In a big tour bus
Making that easy money

Desperado hauled cattle
Grady drove trucks
Justin had a hot dog stand
Kevin sold records
And Brent sold shoes
And Gary was a garbage man

[Repeat chorus]

I used to have an ex-girlfriend
That didn't understand
She said boy you're going nowhere fast
You oughta get a real job
Why don't you quit that band
Now she can kiss my backstage pass

[Repeat chorus 2x]

brad paisley - make a mistake

You over think things
You say what if we're not meant to be
Well you know what so what
Make a mistake with me

Nobody goes through this life and does
Everything perfectly
We're all gonna fail so you might as well
Make a mistake with me

Bridge
Sometimes baby when we take
A chance that has this much at stake
We look back and in hindsight
What seemed wrong looks more like right

So I say worst case we'll be left with
Lots of good memories
This chance we have well it's worth that
So make a mistake with me

I'm tellin' you the right thing to do
Is make a mistake
Make a mistake
Make a mistake with me

brad paisley - country nation

We work in the factories and the fields
Assembly lines and coal mines and the steel mills
That's what we do but there's more than us than that
If you want to know who we are it son the logos of our caps

We're Mountaineers, volunteers
We're the tide that rolls, we're Seminoles
We're the herd the long steer
We drive Ford and Chevrolet
Shoot twenty-four and eighty-eight
We crank up our music Friday nights
On two thousand country stations
Yeah, we're one big country nation, that's right

We might fix your water pump, your Ac
Bring your apple pie, and fill your glass of tea
Take that Fedex package to your door
But underneath that apron or that uniform

We're Wild Cats, Wolverines
We're Tigers, Buckeyes, Bruins
Bulldogs, Hogs, and Hurricanes
We pray before we race
Cheer fourteen and forty-eight
We drink ice-cold beer on Friday nights
Yeah, we're one big country nation, that's right
We're all across the map
Down city streets and old dirt roads
We're the fabric of this nation
And we're a nation on our own

We're Mountaineers, volunteers
We're Devils, Heels, and Rebels
Fighting Irish and Cavaliers
We supe up our Chevrolets
Cheer twenty-four and eighty-eight
And we crank up the same songs Friday night
On two thousand country stations
Yeah, we're one big country nation, that's right

brad paisley - celebrity

Someday I'm gonna be famous
Do I have talent well no
These days you don't really need it
Thanks to reality shows
Can't wait to date a supermodel
Can't wait to sue my dad
Can't wait to wreck a Ferrari
On my way to Rehab

Cause when you're a celebrity
It's adios reality
You can act just like a fool
And people think you're cool
Just cause your on T.V.
I can throw major fits
When my latte isn't just how I like it
They say I've gone insane
I'll blame it on the fame
And the pressures that go with....
Being a Celebrity

[Break]

I'll get to cry to Barbara Walters
When things don't go my way
I'll get community service
No matter which law I break
I'll make the supermarket tabloids
They'll write some awful stuff
But the more they run my name down
The more my price goes up!

Cause when you're a celebrity
It's adios reality
No matter what you do
People think you're cool
Just cause your on T.V.
I can fall in and out of love
Have marriages that barely last a month
When they go down the drain
I'll blame it on the fame
And say it's just so tough...
Being a Celebrity

So let's hitch up the wagons
And head out West
To the land of fun in the sun
We'll be a real world bachelor
Jackass Millionaires hey hey Hollywood
Here we come!

Yeah when you're a Celebrity
It's adios reality
No matter what you do
People think you're cool
Just cause your on T.V.
Being a Celebrity...
Yeah Celebrity!

brad paisley - cloud of dust

West Texas forecast more of the same
Sunny and mild no chance of rain
That old John Deere tractor ain't moved in days
Oh, but he's out there climbin' back on
Because he's yet to admit that his crops are all gone

She stares out the window fightin' back tears
And watches him wastin' his time in the fields
They're havin' problems payin' the bills
And she knows that it won't be long
Before the bank finally places a lien on the farm

Chorus
And the tractor keeps rollin'
The dust rises high
Creating the only cloud in the sky
He's holdin' his ground
But it's gettin' tough
He's keepin' his faith
In the Lord up above
And prayin' for rain
Through a cloud of dust

Yesterday somethin' in town caught his eye
The old hardware store had a help wanted sign
He thought about stoppin' but he drove on by
'Cause he just can't bear to let go
After all it's the only life he's ever known

Chorus

Yeah, he's holdin' his ground
But it's gettin' tough
He's keepin' his faith
In the Lord up above
And prayin' for rain
Through a cloud of dust

West Texas forecast more of the same
Sunny and mild no chance of rain

brad paisley - silent night

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born

brad paisley - new favorite memory

You're fumbling around in the bedroom,
Trying to put on your shoes,
Hair still down, dress half on,
Looking like you're about to blow a fuse.
I know what's about to happen,
I can read you like a book,
You're about to shoot that cute little "yeah, we're late" look...

And there it is,
Baby, don't move,
I wanna soak this in,
I've got a new favorite memory of you.

Driving through town, running red lights
You take my hand in the car,
Finally make it to the restaurant,
And our friends are two drinks in at the bar.
I know what's about to happen,
Yeah, folks don't change that dial,
She's about to light the room up with a laugh and a smile...

And there it is,
Baby, don't move,
I wanna soak this in,
I've got a new favorite memory of you.

Yeah, I'm gonna fall farther,
Baby, I know, wait for it
And wait for it,
Here I go...

You're fumbling around in the bedroom,
Trying to take off your shoes,
Hair back down, dress half off,
You look at me...

And there it is,
Baby, don't move,
I wanna soak this in,
I've got a new favorite memory of you.

Here we go again,
I've got a new favorite memory of you.
