Day one
I stumbled through hello on 5th avenue
Day two
We grabbed a bite to eat and talked all afternoon
Caught a movie on day 14
And day 67 she said, "I love you" to me

(chorus)
Oh what a feeling
What a wonderful emotion
Yeah what a life
Counting my blessings and knowing
Ooh we had our ups and downs all along the way
She had a chance to leave but chose to stay
What a beautiful day
What a beautiful day

Day 116
I asked her what she was doing for the rest of my life
Day 189
Oh I almost lost that girl to my foolish pride
She said, "I do" on day 482
And gave me a son on day 761

(Repeat chorus)

Day 18,253
Well honey, that's fifty years
Yeah, here's to you and me

(Repeat chorus)

Day one

Written by Chris Cagle and Charlie Crowe

Hey y'all...watch this
Daddy's belt/ Momma's drapes
Standin' tall on the
Backyard shed
Lookin' cool in my superman cape
I told the neighborhood girl
Said hey y'all watch this
My fate was a broken arm
My reward one big kiss
When daddy asked me why I did it
I made him laugh out loud when I told him
'Cause the chicks dig it

(Chorus)
Scars heal, glory fades
And all we're left with are the memories made
Pain hurts, but only for a minute
Yeah life is short so go on and live it
'Cause the chicks dig it

Black top road
Learner permit
Thought I was Earnhardt
Drivin' fast but I didn't see the ditch
Took out a mailbox, then a fence and then a barn
The police came and called my father
But I met the farmer's daughter
And when the judge asked me why I did it
He threw the book at me when I told him
"Cause the chicks dig it"

(Repeat chorus)

Just throw caution to the wind my friend
Then sit back and watch your life begin, 'cause

(Repeat chorus)

Scars heal, glory fades
And all we're left with are the memories made
Pain hurts, but only for a minute
Yeah life is short so go on and live it
It don't matter if you lose or if you win it
Hey the chicks dig it

Written by Brett James and Don Schlitz

For so long, I searched in desperation
For one love, that would always be true
I came close, but there were always complications
I finally decided there was nothing I could do
So I gave up
And I let go
And as soon as I did
Wouldn't you know

(chorus)
Just look what I found when I wasn't looking
Look what I found when I was just being me
I turned around and love was mine for the taking
Look what I found when she found me

Now there's a lot of lonely people out there waiting
And there's a lot of lonely people searching too
But if you've got too many expectations
You might miss the one who's right in front of you
No telling when
No telling why
She'll say hello and you'll know
You'll never say goodbye

(Repeat chorus)

And every single day I'm still surprised
When I turn around and I look into her eyes
I'm like a kid who won a prize
Look what I found
Just look at what I found

Written by Chris Cagle and Monty Powell

She's got a way of makin' me feel strong
A style and grace that's all her own
She's got a way of makin' me feel like a man
Every time she takes my hand

The clouds roll back
All my troubles disappear
Every time that she draws me near

(chorus)
She's like a cool drink of water
Every time she touches my skin
Like a warm ray of sunshine
When she whispers that she loves me and she lets me in
She looks at me and I wind up on my knees
She takes my heart and don't give it back
Yeah I love it when she does that

She's got a smile that makes men weak
Brother, that's what happened to me
And she's got a voice that moves me like a song
And I could listen to it all night long

Yeah, she ain't perfect
And she don't pretend to be
But everything that's wrong with her is perfect
For me

(Repeat chorus)

And like the stars at night
Ooh that girl's my guiding light
And I'll stay by her side for the rest of my life

And take a cool drink of water
Every time she touches my skin
Like a warm ray of sunshine
When she whispers that she loves me and she lets me in
She looks at me and I wind up on my knees
She takes my heart and don't give it back

Summertime
Drivin' fast down an old back road
Feelin' fine
Got skynyrd on the radio
The moon is bright
Me and my baby gonna break new ground
On a blanket in a field of green
Yeah the crickets sing a song to me, it goes

(chorus)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
How 'bout a night on the country
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
It beats a night on the town
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Give me a night on the country
Oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhh
'Cause those city lights bring me down

Fireflies
They burn better than candlelight
Ol' bob white down in the holler sings a lullaby
You and me
Well that's just enough company
So baby listen to the nighttime breeze
You can hear it singin' though the trees

(Repeat chorus)

Baby, listen to the nighttime breeze
You can hear it singin' through the trees

Written by Chris Cagle and David Banning

If I told you I was wrong and wanted you to come back home
I'd be lying
And if I said that we could work it out and you shouldn't have any doubts
I'd be lying
And if I got down on my knees in front of god above
And swore before the angels I'd give you my love

(chorus)
I'd be lying next to you tonight holdin' on to my my whole life
Right back where I belong
Lookin' deep into your eyes, man enough to realize
Yeah honey, I was wrong
If I could swallow my pride and put myself in your shoes
And tell you that I understand why you feel the way you do
Then baby I'd be lying, I'd be lying next to you

And if I told you that I loved you and I'd put no one else above you
I'd be lying
And if I said that you're the one for me and I'd never set you free
I'd be lying
And if I somehow found the strength to knock on your front door
And tell you face to face I won't hurt you anymore

(Repeat chorus)

If I could swallow my pride and put myself in your shoes
And tell you that I understand why you feel the way you do

Written by Frank Rogers

What is it about you that drives me crazy
What is it about you that drives me wild
What is it that get my heart a racin'
Well I've been thinkin' about it
And I've finally put my finger on it

(chorus)
It's everything you do like what you do
When you're with me
It's everything you say and how you say it baby
Your kiss, your touch, the way that you love
Guess what I'm tryin' to say
It's everything

What is it about you that makes me giddy
What is it about you that makes me weak
What is it that makes me feel so damn silly
Make a list, well girl I've tried it
But there ain't no way to quantify it

It's everything you do like what you do when
You're with me
It's everything you say and how you say it baby
Your body, your mind, the child that's inside
Guess what I'm tryin' to say

Written by Chris Cagle and Monty Powell

Sometimes you make me so crazy I wanna turn and go
Then you drive me wild and it makes me want to stay
And sometimes it feels like I'm walking down a rocky road
Just to fall in your arms at the end of the day

You ain't perfect, but your perfect for a man like me
And I know that I'm not the man that I'm supposed to be

(chorus)
But it's gonna take faith
It's gonna take trust
It's gonna take everything we've got
Even when we know it won't be enough
It's gonna take hope
We even need a little luck
And if anybody tells us we can make it on our own
It ain't true
Oh 'cause baby it takes two

Yeah sometimes my work and the world get the best of me
Then I come home and try to give you what's left of me
And sometimes you wonder if I'm even listening
And I hate how it hurts you when I forget the little things

I'm not perfect, but for you I'll do the best I can
'Cause without you I'll never be more than just another lonely man

(Repeat chorus)

I don't wanna walk alone now baby
I know I can't make it on my own baby
Even though sometimes you make me so crazy
I know together we can make it

Sunshine, and the rain falls down
The cold winds blow
And the heat cracks the ground
But down a dirt road out in chickasaw county
The only thing I notice is when your arms aren't around me
'Cause it's

(chorus)
You and me and fifteen acres
Field of dreams for the love we're makin'
We got the seed to sow
We're just waitin' on the crops to grow
Day by day it just gets sweeter
Plantin' roots that just grow deeper
Takin' our own sweet time
'Til it falls right off the vine
And with a little help from up above, oh
We're not growin' old, no we're growin' love

The world turns, and seasons change
And people grow
Oh and people change
But down my dirt road, my grass is always greener
My little piece of heartland
Only heaven could be sweeter

Written by Chris Cagle and Monty Powell

I'll never be anybody's hero
Or the legend of a story, or a saint that's bound for glory, no
And I'll never know what it's like to swim in money
Or how it feels not to have to go to work on Monday
I'm a simple man, and that's ok
But even a simple man wants to feel this way

(chorus)
Like the king of his castle, like the leader of the pack
Like a man that if you left him, you'd just have to have him back
Like a rock that you would lean on when your world gets too rough
Like a man that you would stand beside when he's
Not so tough
But even if that's not the man you see
Then just love me
Just love me

I'll never write a song that lasts forever
Or a book for all the ages, but I'm not full of empty pages, no
'Cause I got a soul, and I use it for yearnin'
With a heart that skips a beat for you and a
Fire that keeps on burnin'
I'm a simple man, yeah that's ok
But even a simple man wants to feel this way

(Repeat chorus)

Oh, I'm a simple man, and that's ok
But even a simple man wants to be swept away, and feel

I saw it in her eyes
When I was sayin' goodbye
That girl, she ain't gonna be alright
'Cause I could tell
She'd be goin' through a livin' hell
And I wouldn't be there by her side

And lord I felt so bad as I sat and watched her cry
Thinkin' I was movin' on and she was barely gettin' by

Look at what I've done to her
Look at how I made her feel
I gave back her heart, the broken part
She got the wrong end of the deal
And look at what it's done to me
You gotta know it tears me up
I gave it everything I had, and
Lord, it just wasn't enough
And hurtin' her like this seems so wrong
Yeah, look at what I've done to her
Now she's alone

I saw her out last night
And she was havin' a good time
That girl, it looks like she's doin' fine
But then I saw a man
Walk up and take her by the hand
And I, oh god, I almost died

And then it hit me, she didn't really need me
I just sat there for a while, until I finally smiled

Look at what I've done to her
Look at how I made her feel
She's found somebody new
And look who took the time to heal
And look at what it's done to me
You gotta know it tears me up
To have walked away from the love we made
And just leave it in a cloud of dust
And now it's got me thinkin' maybe I was wrong
After all the things I've done to her
Now she's strong

I walked up and said hello
She said, "it's goo to see ya
But hey, I've gotta go"

Look at what I've done to her
Look at how I made her feel
She's standin' tall, she's got it all
Got the world at her heels
And look at what it's done to me
Look at how it makes me hurt
If I could go back now
I swear somehow
I'd find a way to make it work

Ain't life funny
Now I'm the one alone
Look at what I've done to me
