Not much to add to this song. Either you get it or you don't. You're either committed to being as He showed us how, or you're not. You're either a star shining brightly or you're a black hole. You choose. Clay Walker, The Chain of Love He was drivin' home one evening in his beat up Pontiac When an old lady flagged him down her Mercedes had a flat He could see that she was frightened, standin' out there in the snow ‘Til he said I'm here to help you ma’am, by the way my name's Joe She said "I'm from St-Louis" and I'm only passin' through I must've seen one hundred cars go by this is awful nice of you And when he changed the tire and closed her trunk and was about to drive away She said how much do I owe you?; here's what he had to say You don't owe me a thing; I've been there too And someone once helped me out Just the way I'm helping you If you really want to pay me back Here's what you do Don't let th...

Growing older. Growing wiser. Realizing you really do have limits. Things you used to get away with as a kid (jumping from a high place and landing on your feet) somehow as you age, your body says uh, uh, uh-don't you even think about it cowboy/girl! Toby Keith, As Good As I Once Was She said, "I've seen you in here before" I said, "I've been here a time or two" She said, "Hello, my name is Bobby Jo Meet my twin sister Betty Lou And we're both feeling kinda wild tonight You're the only cowboy in this place If you're up for a rodeo I'll put a big Texas smile on your face" I said, "Girls... I ain't as good as I once was I got a few years on me now But there was a time, back in my prime When I could really lay it down If you need some love tonight Then I might have just enough I ain't as good as I once was But I'm as good once as I ever was" I still hang out with my best friend Dave I've known him since we...

Truth and reality can be strangers. Eventually though you have to look at the human in the mirror. Online personalities are not the truth as we are, but rather the truth we pretend to be-the one we wish others to see. So topical. I've had several friends who have dated online-and it hasn't worked out, repeatedly. There was one that did-but of the 5 others I'm aware of, that's not a good statistic to go with! Brad Paisley – Online I work down at the Pizza Pit And I drive an old Hyundai I still live with my mom and dad I'm 5 foot 3 and overweight I'm a sci-fi fanatic A mild asthmatic 've never been to second base But there's whole ‘nother me That you need to see Go checkout MySpace 'Cause online I'm out in Hollywood I'm 6 foot 5 and I look damn good I drive a Maserati I'm a black-belt in karate And I love a good glass of wine It turns girls on that I’m mysterious I tell them I don't want nothing serious 'Cause even on a slow day I c...

Heard this song played over and over and over again in the IMAX theater at Moody Gardens. Liked the words so I looked up the song when I got home. Reminds me of Frog and Princess. Dave Matthews Band, Steady As We Go I'll walk halfway around the world Just to sit down by your side I would do most anything, girl To be the apple of your eye Troubles, they may come and go But good times, they're the gold And if the road gets rocky, girl Just steady as we go Any place you wanna go Know I'll be next to you If it's treasure, baby, you're looking for I'll search the whole world through I know troubles, they may come and go But good times, they're the gold So if the road gets rocky, girl Just steady as we go When the storm comes down you shelter me When I don't say a word but you know exactly what I mean In the darkest times, oh, you shine on me You set me free, keep me steady as we go So if your heart wrings dry, my love I will fill your cup And if the load gets...

Perspectives change. Values change. Understanding changes. Knowledge changes. Decisions need to change. Tim McGraw, Don't Take the Girl Johnny's daddy was taking him fishin' When he was eight years old A little girl came through the front gate holdin' a fishing pole His dad looked down and smiled, said we can't leave her behind Son I know you don't want her to go but someday you'll change your mind And Johnny said "Take Jimmy Johnson, take Tommy Thompson, take my best friend Bo Take anybody that you want as long as she don't go Take any boy in the world Daddy please don't take the girl Same old boy Same sweet girl Ten years down the road He held her tight and kissed her lips In front of the picture show Stranger came and pulled a gun Grabbed her by the arm said "If you do what I tell you to, there won't be any harm" And Johnny said "Take my money, take my wallet, take my credit cards Here's the watch that my grandpa gave m...

Fidelity starts when you stop looking. When you start focusing on your one and only. This is what gives you a glimpse of eternity. When you're both on the same page-you 'get it' and then you get 'it'. Brad Paisley, She's Everything She's a yellow pair of running shoes A holey pair of jeans She looks great in cheap sunglasses She looks great in anything She's I want a piece of chocolate Take me to a movie She's I can't find a thing to wear Now and then she's moody She's a Saturn with a sunroof With her brown hair a-blowing She's a soft place to land And a good feeling knowing She's a warm conversation That I wouldn't miss for nothing She's a fighter when she's mad And she's a lover when she's loving [Chorus] And she's everything I ever wanted And everything I need I talk about her, I go on and on and on 'Cause she's everything to me She's a Saturday out on the town And a church girl on Sunday She...

Small town people want to keep their small towns, but then they raise kids who know, love, and appreciate small town life. Tim McGraw, Where the Green Grass Grows Six lanes Taillights Red ants marchin' into the night They disappear to the left and right again Another supper from a sack A ninety-nine cent heart attack I got a poundin' head and an achin' back And the camel's buried in a big straw stack I'm gonna live where the green grass grows Watch my corn pop up in rows Every night be tucked in close to you Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed Point our rocking chairs towards the west Plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows Where the green grass grows Well I'm from a map dot A stop sign on a black top I caught the first bus I could hop from there But all this glitter is gettin' dark There's concrete growin' in the city park I don't know who my neighbors are And there's bars on the corners and bars on my heart I'm gonn...
