Playlist Darius Rucker

darius rucker - alright

Alright, Alright
Yeah it's alright, alright

Don't need no five star reservations
I've got spaghetti and a cheap bottle of wine
Don't need no concert in the city
I've got a stereo and the best of Patsy Cline
Ain't got no caviar no Dom Perignon
But as far as I can see, I've got everything I want

Cause I've got a roof over my head,
the woman I love laying in my bed
And it's alright, alright
I've got shoes under my feet
Forever in her eyes staring back at me
And it's alright, alright
And I've got all I need
And it's alright by me

Maybe later on we'll walk down to the river
Lay on a blanket and stare up at the moon
It may not be no French Riviera
But it's all the same to me as long as I've got you

It may be a simple life, but that's okay
If you ask me baby, I think I've got it made

Cause I've got a roof over my head,
the woman I love laying in my bed
And it's alright, alright
I've got shoes under my feet
Forever in her eyes staring back at me
And it's alright, alright
And I've got all I need
And it's alright by me

It's alright by me, yeah yeah
When I lay down at night I thank the Lord above
For giving me everything I ever could dream of

Cause I've got a roof over my head,
the woman I love laying in my bed
And it's alright, alright, alright, alright
I've got shoes under my feet
Forever in her eyes staring back at me
And it's alright, alright, alright
And I've got all I need, yeah
I've got all I need
And it's alright by me
Oh yeah, it's alright by me

darius rucker - baby i 039 m right

Heaven knows that I'm usually wrong
And you're the first one to point it out
Don't even try to act like you don't know
What it is I'm talking 'bout
You know that I'm no know-it-all
But when I first saw you I thought

This could be
The start of something beautiful
This could be
The start of something magical
The kind of thing you look for all of your life
This could be
The start of something so unreal

This could be
Finally the real deal
I guess now and then
Baby, I'm right
Don't wanna really put you right on the spot
But I love the look you're giving me
I'm no genius but I know what we've got
That special kind of chemistry
Go on and roll those hazel brown eyes
Let's see where we're going tonight
This could be

The start of something beautiful
This could be
The start of something magical
The kind of thing you look for all of your life
This could be
The start of something so unreal
This could be
Finally the real deal
I guess now and then

Baby, I'm right
Just admit it
I ain't always wrong
Me being right kinda turns you on
This could be
The start of something beautiful
This could be
The start of something magical

The kind of thing you look for all of your life
This could be
The start of something so unreal
This could be
Finally the real deal
I guess now and then
Baby, I'm right
Yeah, I guess now and then
You let me be right

darius rucker - come back song

I woke up again this morning
And wouldn't you know it, pouring rain
I went and burned a pot of coffee
And like us I poured it down the drain

'Cause I didn't know I needed you so
And letting you go was wrong
And baby, I know you got your radio on
So this is my "my bad, come back" song

I know I said I wouldn't miss you
But now I'm saying I'm a fool
You're on the feel-good side of leaving
And I'm the backside of a mule

'Cause I didn't know I needed you so
And letting you go was wrong
And baby, I know you got your radio on
So this is my "so sad, come back" song

And now I'm laying down without you
In this king size empty bed
And I wish I had my arms around you
But I'll just dream of you instead

'Cause I didn't know I needed you so
And letting you go was wrong
And baby, I know you got your radio on
So this is my "get packed, come back"

Hey, I didn't know I needed you so
And letting you go, and letting you go was wrong
And baby, I know you got your radio on
So this is my "my bad, come back" song

Oh yeah, yeah
I know I said I wouldn't miss you
I said I wouldn't miss you girl, yeah

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

We all sang na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, yeah

Come on now
This is my "my bad, come back" song

darius rucker - don 039 t think i don 039 t think about it

I left out in a cloud of taillights and dust
Swore I wasn't coming back, said I'd had enough
Saw you in the rear view standing,
fading from my life
But I wasn't turnin' 'round
No not this time

But don't think I don't think about it
Don't think I don't have regrets
Don't think it don't get to me
Between the work and the hurt and the whiskey
Don't think I don't wonder 'bout
Could've been, should've been all worked out
I know what I felt, and I know what I said
But don't think I don't think about it

When we make choices, we gotta live with them
Heard you found a real good man and you married him
I wonder if sometimes I cross your mind
Where would we be today
If I never drove that car away?

Don't think I don't think about it
Don't think I don't have regrets
Don't think it don't get to me
Between the work and the hurt and the whiskey
Don't think I don't wonder 'bout
Could've been, should've been all worked out
Yeah I know what I felt, and I know what I said
But don't think I don't think about it
Don't think I don't think about it

Don't think I don't think about it
Don't think I don't have regrets
Don't think you don't get to me
Between the work and the hurt and the whiskey
Don't think I don't wonder 'bout
Could've been, should've been all worked out
I know what I felt, and I know what I said
But don't think I don't think about it, no no

Don't think I don't
Don't think I don't

darius rucker - exodus

She said so, so many times in my life
Once I thought things were fine, it would rain
This is how it is each and everyday I live
Things I thought would be my joy, turn to pain

So when it pours and you're in deep water
And you can't tell the difference from the rain and your tears
I will be the one whos there, who'll always be there
To drink the river flowing from your eyes

Exodus is yours, love
Let the midnight sun disappear
Heaver would be yours, love
Let me be the one to take you there

So don't worry or sweat the small things
Everything in your lives bound to change
All the things you're going through
I will bare the weight with you
There's no shame, know what I'm saying
There's a way to pull through

Oh and when it pours girl and you're in deep water
And you can tell the difference from the rain and your tears
I will be the one whos there, who'll always be there
To drink the river flowing from your eyes

Exodus is yours, love
Let the midnight sun disappear
And Heaven could be yours, love
Let me be the one to take you there

Oh
I'll help you carry it all
(I'll help you carry all)
You don't have to worry at all
(No you don't have to worry)
And if you stumble and fall
(If you sumble and fall)
I'll be there for you

(I'll help you, aw)
I"ll help you carry it all
(You don't have to, aw)
You don't have to worry at all
Girl and if you fall, I'll be there
Through it all, through it all

Exodus is yours, love
Let the midnight sun disappear
And Heaven could be yours, love
Please let me be the one to take you there, there

Exodus is yours, love
Let the midnight sun disappear
And Heaven could be yours, love
Let me be the one to take you there

darius rucker - good for a good time

I ain't ever been accused of recusing myself from a Friday night
Don't need no excuse to go out and cut loose beneath the neon light
Ain't got to twist my arm to get me off the farm
Just give me the word, I bet I beat you to the bar

I'm up for just about anything as long as it's almost legal
I can fit in with any old crowd, long as there's a party,
They're my kind of people
If you're down with painting the town, I'll be around all night
You know I'm always good for a good time

I'm a pretty good guy in my nine to five, always walking the line
I'll lend a helping hand to a stranger or a friend if they need mine
You can count on me buddy, I'm free
If you've got a bead on a party in need

I'm up for just about anything as long as it's almost legal
I can fit in with any old crowd, long as there's a party,
They're my kind of people
If you're down with painting the town, I'll be around all night
You know I'm always good for a good time

When it comes to a good time, you know what they say
It's never too early, it's never too late

darius rucker - half full dixie cup

That bucket of bolts in the driveway
It's old but it's still fast
And the weeds out in the front yard
When they're green, they look like grass
And this house we got
Well, it sure could use a couple shingles and a can of paint
But looking on the bright side
We're dry every time it rains

Yeah, I'm kicked back on the front porch
Drinking up this sunset
We ain't got a whole lot
But we got what we need
Yeah, I'm smiling 'cause I've been blessed
Sipping on the good stuff
This ain't a glass half empty thing
It's a half full Dixie cup

Kids chasing around that old dog
Being loud and dragging out toys
But you're missing out on a sweet sound
If all you hear is noise
And their mama sitting here beside me
Laughs and says, ain't it funny
Some people I know, well, they're flat broke
'Cause all they got is money

Yeah, I'm kicked back on the front porch
Drinking up this sunset
We ain't got a whole lot
But we got what we need
Yeah, I'm smiling 'cause I've been blessed
Sipping on the good stuff
This ain't a glass half empty thing
It's a half full Dixie cup

Some days I fall by the wayside
And let the devil have his way
He puts a hole in my cup
But this ain't one of those days, no

Well, I'm kicked back on the front porch
I'm drinking up this sunset
Hey, we ain't got a whole lot
But we got what we need
Yeah, I'm smiling 'cause I've been blessed
I'm sipping on the good stuff
Hey, this ain't a glass half empty thing
It's a half full Dixie cup

Yeah, I'm smiling 'cause I've been blessed
I'm sipping on the good stuff
Hey, this ain't a glass half empty thing
It's a half full Dixie cup
It's a half full Dixie cup

darius rucker - high on life

It's been five days since I shaved, I swear
My hair's gettin' long but I don't care
Lawn chair sitting, ain't going nowhere
A big old smile on my face
Pointin' out pictures in a cloudy sky
Craving me a piece of that pecan pie
Might lay in the grass and kill some time
Looking like I'm in a daze
But it ain't no purple haze

I ain't stoned on what you think
Just an afternoon sun that's starting to sink
I ain't drunk on nothing you can buy
Just a kiss from a woman and a look in her eye
What I'm on you don't need much
It's a little goes a long way kinda stuff
Yeah, I'm breathing, yeah, I'm feeling alright
I'm high on life

Gettin' buzzed by this bumble bee flying around
My day in the sun is my night on the town
Just me waking up is me getting down
Spinning like a tilt-a-whirl
Sitting on top of the world
I ain't stoned on what you think
Just an afternoon sun that's starting to sink

I ain't drunk on nothing you can buy
Just a kiss from a woman and a look in her eye
What I'm on you don't need much
It's a little goes a long way kinda stuff
Yeah, I'm breathing, yeah, I'm feeling alright
I'm high on life
I ain't saying that stuff is bad

But it's so low compared to the highs I have
Counting my blessings, kicking back
Sipping on sweet tea in a glass
And watching my baby laugh
Don't get much better than that
I ain't stoned on what you think
Just an afternoon sun that's starting to sink

I ain't drunk on nothing you can buy
Just a kiss from a woman and a look in her eye
What I'm on you don't need much
It's a little goes a long way kinda stuff
Yeah, I'm breathing, yeah, I'm feeling alright
I'm high on life
I'm finally believing what I'm seeing
That's why
I'm high on life
Oh, high on life

darius rucker - homegrown honey

Sitting at a bar in new york city
Everybody here looking new york pretty
But you?re the kinda girl that?s got that something
Dancing to the groove like it just ain?t nothing
They ain?t never seen nothing quite like you
Long stem legs in your cowboy boots
Throwing back whiskey straight, no water
Girl there ain?t nothing hotter

Ooh, I dig the way that you move
You shake it down to your roots
Did your momma teach you how to do that thing you do
Yeah, nothing sweeter than wild
I?ll take a sip of that smile
I?ll bet the boys at home can?t leave you alone
You little homegrown honey, honey, honey
You?re so money, money, money

You got a country road carolina soul
Baby you?re just so homegrown
Trying to think of something cool to say
Turned around and saw you walking my way
Pulled me on the floor saying ?son it?s on?
And we were dancing all night long
To a sweet old alabama song

Ooh baby, baby, baby
You?re driving me crazy, crazy, crazy
I?m a long way away from where I?m from
But baby you feel like home
You?re so money, money, money
You got a country road carolina soul
Baby you?re just so homegrown

darius rucker - i got nothin

It?s my third cup of coffee
The fifth time I said I?m sorry
The sun slowly peakin' through the glass
Says we?ve been up all night

We all know where this is going
It?s been a long time coming
Is it really over
Is this really goodbye
Maybe I should say something
Maybe you'd change your mind
Maybe maybe
Buy a little more time

But I got nothing
No magic words
To stop your leaving
To end this hurt
I?m just blank
I?m staring into space
Praying please please let me think of something
?Cause I got nothing

I watch you pack your things
You look down at your ring
Slowly slip off and then lay it on our bed
Maybe I should pick it up
And get down on my knees
Tell you what you want to hear
And give you what you need

But I got nothing
No magic words
To stop your leaving
To end this hurt
I?m just blank
I?m staring into space
Praying please please let me think of something
?Cause I got nothing

You?re almost at the door
And you stop and turn around
You?re eyes are begging me
Please say something right now

But I got nothing
No magic words
To stop your leaving
I can't end this hurt
I?m just blank
I?m staring into space
Praying please please let me think of something
?Cause if you go
I got nothing

darius rucker - i hope they get to me in time

I'm eight years old, daddy's cutting my hair
Aqua Velva on his hands
Mama's in the kitchen,
Got fried green tomatoes poppin' in the pan
I see a home run, a gold ride
Holding my breath getting baptized.
I see her beautiful face under that veil as she's walking down the aisle.

I can hear the sirens coming
Smell the gasoline and smoke
I'm pinned against this steering wheel
Pretty sure my arm is broke
I can see the flames and my life
Flashing right before my eyes
I hope they get to me in time

I could see the headlights swerve
So I cut the wheel to the right
Last thing I saw was the bottle turned up
as he crossed that center line
I see tiny hands, brown eyes
falling asleep to that lullaby
And you slide over next to me as I turned out the lights

I can hear the sirens coming
Smell the gasoline and smoke
I'm pinned against this steering wheel
Pretty sure my arm is broke
I can see the flames and my life
Flashing right before my eyes
I hope they get to me in time

Please Lord, I'm begging you
Don't let me go like this
There's so much left that I wanna do
So much I don't wanna miss

I can see the flames and my life
Flashing right before my eyes
I hope they get to me in time
Just get to me in time
Please get to me in time

darius rucker - if i told you

Flame
Girl you light it up
When I hear you say my name
Yeah, you know just
How to start it

You shine
And I just can't wait
To get you out tonight
Yeah, you know
How bad I want it
Ride this Chevy like a Cadillac
With that one stop light
No lookin' back
Wherever we're going
Gotta get there fast

I'm talking red hot, red kiss
Falling off your lips
I'm talking red hot, red dress
Hanging off your hips
I'm talking backseat heartbeat
Pounding in my chest
I'm seein' red
(I'm seein' red)
I'm seein' red
(I'm seein' red)

Can't get you outta my head, girl
Can't get you outta my head
The way you color up my world
I'm seein' red

Damn, we can get that someplace
Just outside of town
I'll bring the bottle if you wanna
That moon, that moon ain't gonna
Tell on me and you
Just say the word and we're gonna

Ride this Chevy like a Cadillac
With that one stop light
No lookin' back
Wherever we're going
Gotta get there fast

I'm talking red hot, red kiss
Falling off your lips
I'm talking red hot, red dress
Hanging off your hips
I'm talking backseat heartbeat
Pounding in my chest
I'm seein' red
(I'm seein' red)
I'm seein' red
(I'm seein' red)

Can't get you outta my head, girl
Can't get you outta my head
The way you color up my world
I'm seein' red

No, I can't get you
Outta my head, girl
Can't get you outta my head

I'm talking red hot, red kiss
Falling off your lips
I'm talking red hot, red dress
Hanging off your hips
I'm talking backseat heartbeat
Pounding in my chest
I'm seein' red
(Woah, oh, oh, oh)
I'm seein' red
(I'm seein' red)

Can't get you outta my head, girl
Can't get you outta my head
The way you color up my world
I'm seein' red
I'm seein' red
I'm seein' red red red red red

darius rucker - it won 039 t be like this for long

He didnt have to wake up
He'd been up all nite
Lay'n there in bed listen'n
To his new born baby cry
He makes a pot of coffee
He splashes water on his face
His wife gives him a kiss and says
It gonna be OK

It wont be like this for long
One day soon we'll look back laugh'n
At the week we brought her home
This phase is gonna fly by
So baby just hold on
It wont be like this for long

Four years later bout four thirty
She's crawling in there bed
And when he drops her off at preschool
She's clinging to his leg
The teacher peels her off of him
He says what can I do
She says now dont you worry
This will only last a week or two

It wont be like this for long
One day soon we'll drop her off
And she wont even know your gone
This phase is gonna fly by
If you can just hold on
It wont be like this for long

One day soon she'll be a teenager
And at times you'll think she hates him
Then he'll walk her down the isle
And he'll raise her vale
But right now she up and cry'n
And the truth is that he dont mind
As he kisses her good night
And she says her prayers
He lays down there beside her
Till her eyes are finally closed
And just watch'n her it breaks his heart
Cause he already knows
It wont be like this for long
One day soon that little girl is gonna be
All grown up and gone
Yeah this phase is gonna fly by
He's try'n to hold on
It wont be like this for long
It wont be like this for long
