Someone find me a country song about poor boundries and t.m.i.

Songs About Me

This song basically describes why I like country music....[

Trace Adkins - Songs About Me

Met a guy on the red eye
He spotted my guitar
And said what do you do?
I said, I sing for a living,
Country music mixed with
A little rock and a little blues
He said I'm sorry
But I've never been crazy
'Bout that twang and trains and hillbilly thing
What ever made you want to sing stuff like that?
I just looked at him and laughed and said

Cause it's songs about me
And who I am
Songs about loving and living
And good hearted women and family and God
Yeah they're all just
Songs about me
Songs about me

So I offered him tickets
I said you'll see what I mean
If you show up tonight
He said I doubt you'll change my opinion
I'll be kind of busy, but hey man, I'll try

Then later on when we finished our songs
About scars and cars and broken hearts
I saw him, he was standing there
Right next to the stage
And he shouted
Man you were right
It was like you sang those

Songs about me
And who I am
Songs about loving and living
And good hearted women and family and God
Yeah they're all just
Songs about me
Songs about me

So I'll just keep on singing
'Til I hear the whole world singing those

Songs about me
And who I am
Songs about loving and living
And good hearted women and family and God
Yeah they're all just
Songs about me
Songs about me

Rush back home...

There is one line of this song that I really like.  I wouldn't say that I am a work-o-holic, but I do like my job and want to be good at what I do.  I learned a long time ago, working in one of my first jobs, how easy it is to let work consume all others aspects of life.  I swore that I would not do that to myself again.  This can be a very difficult thing to do, and I think that as a society, we have a hard time taking care of ourselves and not overworking.  According to CNN, employees in the US get an average of 25 days off a year (between vacation and paid holidays).  Sounds great, but compared to Italy (31), Japan (35) and France (40), to name a few, our leisure time seems pathetic.  Then when you take into consideration that many business people are never really "off the clock," taking calls in the evenings, checking email on weekends and vacations, do we ever really allow ourselves the down time that we need.  I think that it is so important to seperate work from home and to actually be "disconnected" from work and relax.  So, all that being said.....here is the line of the song that I like:

"I used to rush off to work and get home late but
Now I show up late and rush back home"

Here's to taking the time to take care of ourselves and our families!

Chris Young - You

The bluest skies don't seem so blue
And the stars seem to be a little dimmer too
Now that you're around you put 'em all to shame
Let me break it down cause what I'm trying to say is

No one gets me like you when you kiss me
Girl you rock me harder than some downtown band
I thought I knew what love was but I didn't have a clue
I never found anything that makes me feel like I do about you

Gotta whole new direction it seems these days
I used to rush off to work and get home late but
Now I show up late and rush back home
My priorities are different, I can't leave you alone

No one gets me like you when you kiss me
Girl you rock me harder than some downtown band
I thought I knew what love was but I didn't have a clue
I never found anything that makes me feel like I do about you

Girl if you ever get to guessing if I'm thinking about you

Just remember that

No one gets me like you when you kiss me
Girl you rock me harder than some downtown band
I thought I knew what love was but I didn't have a clue
I never found anything that makes me feel like I do about you

You you you, youuuuu, whoa you

Happy Love Day!

I am not a huge Valentine's Day person, but I do like to celebrate love!  Here is the song that Kyle and I danced to at our wedding.  I absolutely love this song and my husband.  Kyle has continually amazed me over the course of the last nine years (or so).  The last two years have been very trying and Kyle has been such a patient support to me even while dealing with his own stuff.  I am so lucky to have him as my Valentine :)

Keith Urban - Memories of Us


I'm gonna be here for you baby
I'll be a man of my word
Speak the language in a voice
That you have never heard

I wanna sleep with you forever
And I wanna die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow
Where the wild bees swarm

And I'm gonna love you
Like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust
Makin' memories of us

I wanna honor your mother
And I wanna learn from your pa
I wanna steal your attention
Like a bad outlaw

And I wanna stand out in a crowd for you
A man among men
I wanna make your world better
Than it's ever been

And I'm gonna love you
Like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust
Makin' memories of us

We'll follow the rainbow
Wherever the four winds blow
And there'll be a new day
Comin' your way

I'm gonna be here for you from now on
This you know somehow
You've been stretched to the limits
But it's alright now

And I'm gonna make you a promise
If there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to meet you
With a warm, wet kiss

And I'm gonna love you
Like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust
Makin' memories of us

I'm gonna love you
Like nobody loves you
And I'll win your trust
Makin' memories of us

Drink on it!

I wish that we could solve all of life's problems by "drinkin' on it!"  I do think that many things can become clearer in the haze of a few good vodka drinks.....I miss drinking :(

Blake Shelton - Drink On It


Hey girl hey where ya goin'
Come back and sit back down
You look too good to be heading home so early now
You say you gotta work tomorrow
Got a lot on your mind
Let me buy another round

Girl I think you and I should just drink on it
Put our heads together and think on it
Maybe later on we can sleep on it
But for right now girl we just need to drink on it

We can talk Rocket Science, Jesus or Politics
Hey your boyfriend cheated on you
Man he sounds like such a prick
I could use another whiskey and your Cosmo’s gettin' low
While we're trying to figure out the next place we should go

We can drink on it
Put our heads together and think on it
Maybe later on we can sleep on it
But for right now girl we just need to drink on it

This place is closing down
But I don't wanna quit
Gotta good thing going girl
Let’s find out what it is and drink on it

Your place or mine girl we can drink on it
Dust off a bottle and drink on it
Feels like we're doin' something right
Let's find a corner of the night

Where you and I can just drink on it
Put our heads together and think on it
Maybe later on we can sleep on it
But for right now girl we just need to drink on it

Might make a memory that we won't forget
So let’s just drink on it
Mmm drink on it

Give in to me

I am sure that most people would think that the movie Country Strong is fairly lame; however, I am a sucker for country movies (ie..Urban Cowboy, 8 Seconds, etc).  Go figure.  I thought that the soundtrack for Country Strong was really good and here is my favorite!

Give In To Me

I’m gonna wear you down
I’m gonna make you see
I’m gonna get to you
You’re gonna give into me

I’m gonna start a fire
You’re gonna feel the heat
I’m gonna burn for you
You’re gonna melt for me

Come on, come on
Into my arms
Come on, come on
Give into me

You’re gonna take my hand
Whisper the sweetest words
And if you’re ever sad
I’ll make you laugh
I’ll chase the hurt

My heart is set on you
I don’t want no one else
And if you don’t want me
I guess I’ll be all by myself

Come on, come on
Into my arms
Come on, come on
Give into me

I’ll use my eyes to draw you in
Until I’m under your skin
I’ll use my lips, I’ll use my arms
Come on, come on, come on
Give into me

Give into me
Give into me
