Run your car off the side of the road
Get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere
Get yourself in a bind lose the shirt off your back
Need a floor need a couch need a bus fare

This is where the rubber meets the road
This is where the cream is gonna rise
This is what you really didn't know
This is where the truth don't lie

{Chorus}
You find out who you're friends are
Somebody's gonna drop everything
Run out and crank up their car
Hit the gas get their fast
Never stop to think 'what's in it for me' or 'it's way too far'
They just show on up with their big old heart
You find out who you're friends are

Everybody wants to slap your back
wants to shake your hand
when you're up on top of that mountain
But let one of those rocks give way then you slide back down look up
and see who's around then

This ain't where the road comes to an end
This ain't where the bandwagon stops
This is just one of those times when
Alot of folks jump off

{Chorus}

When the water's high
When the weather's not so fair
When the well runs dry
Who's gonna be there

{Chorus}

. . .


Cigarettes are bad for your health
And smoky bars I can't help myself
I try to quit but it's a curse
I love 'em I hate 'em
I love 'em just like her

Old songs play like memories
They bring her back right here with me
They make me smile they make me hurt
I love 'em I hate 'em
I love 'em just like her

It's a fine line between love and hate
A heaven and a heartache
When it's good it's good when it's bad it's bad
She's the best she's the worst she's the best I've ever had

It's a fine line between love and hate
A heaven and a heartache
When it's good it's good when it's bad it's bad
She's the best she's the worst she's the best I've ever had

Photographs that we once took
When she still had that loving me look
I wanna save 'em I wanna watch 'em burn
I love 'em I hate 'em
I love 'em just like her

I love 'em I hate 'em
I love 'em just like her

Billy Joe McAlester junior showed up at the reunion
Clean cut shaved decked out in Armani's best
In perfect spoken english he said now days I go by William
And he talked about his new life and money he'd made out West
And he tried his hardest not to be that old boy we all new
Til he pulled out that Earnhardt wallet on that chain hooked to his belt loop

You can't hide redneck beneath a three piece suit
No starched white collar is gonna keep it from bleeding through
You might as well forget it it's gonna find it's way out
You can't hide redneck you might as well be proud

Well the last we all seen of Sandy she'd moved up to Boston
Law school paid off made her a Federal judge
Scotty had to go and ask her if she still hates John since she lost him
She said 'John who, oh yeah no I don't hold a grudge'
And her honor stayed as professional as long as she could
As the time went on she lit into John just like we all knew she would

You can't hide redneck behind a big old job
A big old cherry wood desk sure ain't no camoflage
You might as well forget it it's gonna find it's way out
You can't hide redneck

You can't hide redneck
In a big old grouch
You're gonna blow our cover can't keep us from getting loud

You might as well forget it it's gonna find it's way out
You can't hide redneck you might as well be proud

Might as well be proud

He takes all this criticism from those who never played the game
No matter how hard they hit him he keeps on playing through the pain
When they lose he takes the blame
Old number nine

{Chorus}
For the love they live for the love they die
No higher calling in this life
There's nothing they can't rise above
Cause it's not about rich it's not about poor
Counting the cost and keeping score
They do it for the love

I know this cop in Cincinatti
Born into money and prestige
He could be living off her Daddy
But instead he's out there on the beat
Protecting serving you and me
Badge forty fifty seven

{Chorus}

He's in your heart he's your best friend
He won't break no he won't bend
Look around you'll see he's in each of us

{Chorus}

We all do it for the love
The love

. . .


Lately I've been having more nights that I can't sleep
Storms of life keep blowing in sometimes it gets so heavy
It drives me to my knees and it's coming down again
Then a voice inside reminds me of the roof over my head
And my wife and kids are tucked away warmly in their beds

{Chorus}
Up in heaven sometimes I wonder if God sits there and listens
To all his children thinking it'd be nice if we'd forget our troubles as easy as our blessings

Suddenly I don't feel like counting what I need
So I start counting what I have when times are at their toughest
My wife still stands by me and my children make me laugh
Then I crawl back in bed and start to think as I lay there
Could it be that he's already heard and answered all my prayers

{Chorus}

It'd be nice if we'd forget our troubles as easy as our blessings

As easy as our blessings

. . .


We said our goodbyes I watched her board the plane
As she taxied down the runway I felt a pain
That brought me to my knees
All the times before we seemed to work it out
But as I watched her plane disappear it left me with no doubt

{Chorus}
She’s gone into the night
Gone out of my life
And I’m here alone
My tears kept falling down as her plane left the ground
I watched a flame go dark
Faster than speed of flight my world fell apart

There’s times that I’d swear she’s right next to me
Sometimes I smell her perfume in the evening breeze
It still tears me up
They say everything in time well that remains to be seen
Then a clock clicking double time wouldn’t change a thing

{Chorus}

{Chorus}

. . .


Her Mercedes Benz is parked right outside
Ring on her finger man it's a sight for sore eyes
But now it's losing it's shine
A memory that she thought had died
Came back to life when he drove by her house today
And took her breath away

{Chorus}
She's caught between a rock and a soft place
Between what's right and the heartache
Should she turn her back on everything and walk away
Or leave it where it lays
Looks like she's caught between a rock and a soft place

Lying together in the still of the night
Blanket on the ground holding onto each other tight
In the pale moonlight
The memories that she made with him are just as strong as when he stole her heart away
Like he's doing today

{Chorus}

Diamonds and gold don't make the perfect man
Should she give up everything she wants for everything she has

{Chorus}

A rock and a soft place

. . .


Do you recall when I was six
I got lost out in the woods and you worried yourself sick
What about the day I got in my first fight
Mama she got mad but you swelled up with pride
I never knew how deep a fathers love could run
Until I had a son

{Chorus}
From watching him learn how to crawl
To skinned up knees from skateboard falls
To praying he'd get through football alive
From hearing his first words spoken
The first time his heart got broken
And knowing soon he'll spread his wings and fly
I guess I didn't know what a Daddy goes thru
Til I was a Daddy too

Real love the kind that you can't understand
Until you hold it in your arms and touch it with your hands
Pure joy the kind that you can only find
When you live your life for them
And leave yourself behind
More and more I'm seeing life go by
Thru my Daddy's eyes

{Chorus}

The fast pace of time goes racing
From first grade to graduation
And knowing soon he'll spread his wings and fly
I guess I didn't know what a Daddy goes through
Til I was a Daddy too

I guess I didn't know what a Daddy goes through
Til I was a Daddy too

. . .


On my first day in this world nobody really knew
What I'd be what I'd become what I was born to do
With alot of luck I grew up now I understand
God made me I believe and had a real good plan

{Chorus}
Well my lips are made to whisper
Sweet nothings in your ear
My hands are made to wipe away
Every single tear
My arms are made to hold you tight
My eyes are made to see
You're why God made me

He put the beat here in my heart to only beat for you
He gave me feet to walk beside the one I love so true
A thousand times he made my mind to think of you each day
And you are why I'm alive and the reason that I say

{Chorus}

{Chorus}

You're why God made me

. . .


Last night I had a real good time just my buddies and me
A bunch of beer drinking card playing B.S.in' SOB's
A regular spot on Wednesday night
It didn't matter that there wasn't any women in sight
Well it don't get better than that as far as I can see

But this morning on my way to work I had a wake up call
From a blonde-haired blue-eyed beauty whose car had stalled
Well I asked her if she needed a ride
Then she threw a little wink at me and climbed inside
I bet the farm that the number she left me is worth a call

{Chorus}
Just like that out of the blue head over heels before I knew
She sure changed my way of thinkin' that's a fact
You can call it luck or you can call it fate
Looks like cupid shot his arrow straight
I ain't never had a feelin' like this just like that

{Chorus}

Oh no
I ain't never had a feelin' like this just like that
