Woahhhhh woahhhhhhh
Shes got Brazilian leather boots on the pedal of her German car
Listen to the Beatles singing back in the USSR
Yeah shes goin around the world tonight
But she ain't leavin here
Shes just going to meet her boyfriend down at the street fair

It's a french kiss, italian ice
Spanish moss in the moonlight
Just another American Saturday night

There's a big toga party tonight down at Delta Chi
They've got Canadian bacon on their pizza pie
They've got a cooler full of cold Coronas and Amstel light
It's like were all livin' in a big ol' cup
Just fire up the blender, mix it all up

It's a French kiss, Italian ice
Margaritas in the moonlight (woahhhh)
Just another American Saturday night

You know everywhere has something they're known for
Although usually it washes up on our shores
My great great great granddaddy stepped off of that ship
I bet he never ever dreamed we'd have all this

You know everywhere has somethin' they're known for
Although usually it washes up on our shores
Little Italy, Chinatown, sittin' there side by side
Live from New York, It's Saturday Night!

It's a French kiss, Italian ice,
Spanish moss in the moonlight
Just another American, just another American,
Its just another American Saturday night

. . .


I'm still breathing and my heart's still beating
I might as well start living again
And so I threw on a shirt
Put on a jacket went out to meet some friends
And now I'm acting like I couldn't be better
Like I've always got this smile on my face
Walking around weaving through the crowd
And trying not to look out of place

Cause everybody's here
Yeah but if you look close you'll see
Everybody's here
Everybody's here but me

The first time somebody asked where you were
I didn't know what to say
The second time somebody asked where you were
I lied and said she's on her way
The third time somebody asked where you were
Well I just wanted to scream
I guess the land of the living
Aint no place for a heartbroken zombie like me.

Cause everybody's here
Yeah but if you look close you'll see
Its painfully clear
Everybody's here but me

Now I look around and see a lot of single people
But there aint a single one like me
Because they all wanna leave here with somebody
And I just wanna leave

Everybody's here
Its painfully clear
Everybody's here
Yeah but if you look close you'll see
Everybody's here
Everybody's here but me

. . .


When I was ten years old,
I remember thinkin' how cool it would be,
When we were goin' on an eight hour drive,
If I could just watch T.V.

And I'd have given anything
To have my own PacMan game at home.
I used to have to get a ride down to the arcade;
Now I've got it on my phone.

He-e-ey...
Glory glory hallelujah.
Welcome to the future.

My grandpa was in World War II,
He fought against the Japanese.
He wrote a hundred letters to my grandma;
Mailed em from his base in the Philippines.

I wish they could see this now,
Where they say this change can go.
Cause I was on a video chat this morning
With a company in Tokyo.

He-e-ey...
Everyday is a revolution.
Welcome to the future.

He-e-ey...
Look around it's all so clear.
He-e-ey...
Wherever we would go and well we...
He-e-ey...
So many things I never thought I'd see...
Happening right in front of me.

I had a friend in school,
Running-back on a football team,
They burned a cross in his front yard
For asking out the home-coming queen.

I thought about him today,
Everybody who's seen what he's seen,
From a woman on a bus
To a man with a dream.

He-e-ey...
Wake up Martin Luther.
Welcome to the future.
He-e-ey...
Glory glory hallelujah.
Welcome to the future.

. . .


I remember
Trying not to stare
the night i first me you
You had me memorized
three weeks later
in the front porch light
taking forty five minutes
to kiss good night
I hadn't told you then
I thought I loved you then

(Chorus)
now you're my whole life
now you're my whole world
I just cant believe
the way i feel about you girl
Like the river meets the sea
strong then its ever been
we've come so far since that day
and I thought I loved you then

I remember
Taking you back
To right where I first met you
you were so surprised
there were people around
but i didn't care
I got down on one knee
right there once again
I thought i loved you then

(Chorus)
now your my whole life
now you're my whole world
I just cant believe
the way i feel about you girl
Like the river meets the sea
strong then its ever been
we've come so far since that day
and I thought i loved you then

(break)

I can just see with you
with a baby on the way
i can just see you when your hair is turning gray
what i cant see
Is how I'm never gonna love you more
but I've said that before

now you're my whole life
now you're my whole world
I just cant believe
the way i feel about you girl
You'll look back some day
at this moment that we're in
and ill look at you and say
and i thought i loved you then
and i thought i loved you then

. . .


Inflatable pool full of dad's hot air
I was three years old
Splashin' everywhere
And so began my love affair
With water

On a river bank
With all my friends
A big old rope tied to a limb
And your a big old wuss
If you don't jump in
The water

Yeah when that summer sun starts to beatin' down
And you don't know what to do
Grab your swimming trunks
Ice up that old igloo
Drive until the map turns blue

Daytona Beach on spring break
Eighteen girls up on stage
White t-shirts about to be sprayed
With water

Oh let'er go boys

Yeah when that summer sun starts to beatin' down
And you don't know what to do
Just go and grab someone you wanna see in a bathing suit
And drive until the map turns blue

You can stay right there
When the daylights gone
Play truth or dare
And it wont take long
'Fore you and her got nothin' on
But water

All you really need this time of year
Is a pair of shades
And ice cold beer
And a place to sit somewhere near
Water

. . .


I called to say I'm working late tonight
To cancel our dinner date but she just said that's alright
Just like that she made some other plans
Saw a movie with a couple friends had herself a ball
Oh, cause after all

She's her own woman without me she does fine
She's her own woman (woahhh) but she's mine

I couldn't tell you even if you had a gun to my head
Where we keep the tarragon or even what the hell that is
Well I wouldn't last 45 minutes in this house without her living in it
I'd be lost yeah that's for sure but as for her

She's her own woman without me she'd be fine
She's her own woman (woahhh) but she's mine

Raised up a daddy's girl went out into the big wide world
Has never needed anybody's help
With everything she does for me,
Oh it's still a mystery how I fell in love with her all by myself

She's her own woman
Got it goin' on, that's suits me fine
You're gunna have to find your own woman
Ohhh cause she's mine.

. . .


I went to see father of the bride,
With a girl back home,
We broke up before the sequal,
So I went to that one all alone.

I wondered who I'd wind up with,
And what would our kids look like?
Well I guess I got my answer,
As I tuck them in at night.

Heeeeey, I don't think dreams come any truer,
Boys, welcome to the future.

. . .


I remember sayin' I don't care either way
Just as long as he or she is healthy I'm ok
Then the doctor pointed to the corner of the screen
And said "Ya see that thing right there well ya know what that means"

And I started wondering who he was going to be
And I thought heaven help us if hes anything like me
He'll probably climb a tree to tall and ride hes bike to fast
End up every summer wearin something in a cast
Hes gonna throw a ball and break some glass in a window down the street
Hes gonna get in trouble oh hes gonna get in fights
Im gonna lose my temper and some sleep
It safe to say that im gonna get my pay back if hes anything like me

I can see him right now knees all skinned up
With a magnifying glass tryin to melt the Tonka truck
Wont he be a sight with his football helmet on
That'll be his first love til his first love comes along
He'll get his heart broke by the time hes in his teens
And heaven help him if hes anything like me

He'll probably stay out to late and drive his car to fast
Get a speeding ticket he'll pay for mowing grass
Hes gonna get caught skippin class and be ground for a week
Hes gonna get in trouble we're gonna get in fights
Im gonna lose my temper and some sleep
Its safe to say that im gonna get my pay back if hes anything like me

Hes gonna love me and hate me along the way
Years are gonna fly by I already dread the day
Hes gonna hug hes momma hes gonna shake my hand
Hes gonna act like he cant wait to leave
But as he drives out he'll cry hes eyes out
If hes anything like me (cant understand)
Aw he'll be alright if hes anything like me

. . .


With seven billion people in this world,
I can't believe your still a single girl,
I bet you're thinking you're better off on your own,
But the best things in life,
Just can't be done alone.

It takes two to make love baby,
I'm sure of that,
I'm one, you're one,
You do the math.

Being single has been kinda fun,
But I can see you with me ridin' shotgun,
I'll take you baby anywhere you wanna go,
And together we can have more fun than we can have alone.

It takes two to make love baby,
I'm sure of that,
I'm one, you're one,
You do the math.

I ain't never been a number's guy, but sure enough,
I look into your eyes and all adds up.

It takes two to make love baby,
I'm sure of that,
I'm one, you're one,
You do the math.

I'm one, you're one,
You do the math.

. . .


On my fifth birthday, I got so upset,
About the brand new bike, that I didn't get.
I'd prayed my heart out, and it didn't seem fair,
I told my grandpa, I guess God doesn't care,
And he just smiled, and said my child,

Make no mistake, every prayer you pray,
Gets answered, even though,
Sometimes, the answer is no.

Five years later, out behind the shed,
With a stolen pack of grandpa's cigarettes,
I struck a match, and held that first one to my lips,
And prayed to God please let me get away with this,
And through the smoke, I saw grandpa standing there.

Make no mistake, every prayer you pray,
Gets answered, even though,
Sometimes, the answer is no.

When I think of all the answers in my life, I would have to say,
There's no doubt it was always for the best,
When I didn't get my way.

Grandpa got older, like grandpas do,
His health was failing, and I guess I knew,
It'd be best if he was called on hold,
But selfishly I prayed that God would keep him hanging on,
And when he passed away, in my mind I heard him say.

Make no mistake, every prayer you pray,
Gets answered, even though,
Sometimes, the answer is no.

Sometimes, the answer,
Is no.

. . .


I filled up two shopping carts late last night
The one was full of fishing gear, the other Miller Lite

The checkout-lady laughed and said 'You think you got enough'
And I said 'Yeah, You're probably right', and filled another two carts up

Gonna catch all the fish
Gonna drink all the beer
Gonna head outta town (?)
We're not staying here (?)
Might take all day
Might take all year
Till we catch all the fish
Till we drink all the beer

So I picked up the boys at dawn and we were on our way
It hadn't been ten minutes before Jimmy's cellphone rang
His old lady asked him how we'd be on the lake
And I said You tell her 'We're staying here however long it takes'

Gonna catch all the fish
Gonna drink all the beer
Better warn her now
Better make it clear
Might take all day
Might take all year
Till we catch all the fish
Till we drink all the beer

Just as long as there's a can left in that cooler
Just as long as there's a bass left in that lake
That just means we still got some work to do here
Just as long as there's still gas left in that tank

As long as there's a can left in that cooler
As long as there's a bass left in that lake
That just means that we still got some work to do here
As long as there's still gas left in that tank

Well, we caught all the fish
And we drank all the beer
And we ran outta gas
Now we're stuck out here
With lots of emtpy cans
And worthless fishing gear
Cause we drank all the fish
And we caught all the beer
Well, I mean we caught all the fish
And drank all the beer

. . .


I opened my eyes, look at the clock,
It says eight fifteen,
Stumble out of bed, fumble down the hall,
Still half asleep.

Opened up a window, opened up the paper,
And put some coffee on, grab two cups,
Oh yeah, you're gone.

Shower and shave, take a little time to read the news,
Sort through the mail,
See something about some sale they're having on women's shoes,

Billy's band is playing at the Canyon club on Friday,
I bet they sing our song, maybe we can go,
Oh year, you're gone.

This is gonna take some getting used to baby,
I'm gonna need more time,
Cause I still say us when I ought to say me,
I still say ours instead of mine,
Every plan I make, every road I take,
I still see you riding along,
Then suddenly it hits me,
Oh yeah, you're gone.

This is gonna take some getting used to baby,
I think I need more time,
Because I still say us, when I ought to say me,
I still say ours instead of mine,
Every plan I make, every road I take,
I still see you riding alone,
Then suddenly it hits me,
Oh yeah, you're gone.

Oh there ain't no doubt about it baby,
Oh yeah, you're gone.

. . .


You say the man inside those Levi's don't take orders
She'll just have to realize you'll do as you damn well please

You wear the pants
Buddy good for you
I'm so impressed
Yeah, whoopty-doo
You need to know
That ain't how it works
It's not who wears the pants,
It's who wears the skirt

In the top drawer, of her dresser, there's some panties
Go try on that purple pair, with lace and frills
With your big old legs, I bet you can't get in 'em
With that attitude of yours, hell, I bet you never will

But you wear the pants
Buddy good for you
I'm so impressed
Yeah, whoopty-doo
You need to know
That ain't how it works
It's not who wears the pants,
It's who wears the skirt

A big old boy like you can probably bench 350
A little thing like her can barely lift the bar
Just wait 'til that woman has a headache
And she sits there with her legs crossed
Well, we'll see how strong you are

You wear the pants
Well, good for you
I'm so impressed
Yeah, whoopty-doo
You need to know
That ain't how it works
It's not who wears the pants,
It's who wears the skirt

You wear the pants,
She'll wear the skirt

. . .


Somebody's gotta scratch your back, the places you can't reach
Say something that'll make you laugh, that's exactly what you need,
And I hope that's me, I hope that's me.

Somebody's gonna get dressed up and take you out for valentine's,
Get lots of jealous looks thinking that's one lucky guy,
And I hope that's me, I hope that's me.

And you, you keep on wondering who, is gonna love you like I already do,
And I keep wondering when you'll see, that eventually.

Somebody's gonna throw on a (??),
When your fever hits a hundred and two,
Go down and pick your prescription up,
And come home and fix you soup,
And I hope that's me, I hope that's me.

Somebody's gonna buy a ring,
Somebody's gonna make you cry,
Somebody's gonna lift that veil,
And get to look into your eyes,
And I hope that's me, I hope that's me.

Cause you, you keep on wondering who, is gonna love you like I already do,
And I keep wondering when you'll see, maybe eventually.

Old man on a front porch swing,
Looking back on his long life,
Glass of ice tea in his hand,
Other arm around his wife.

And I hope that's you, I hope that's me.
I hope that's you, and I hope that's me.
I hope that's you, and I hope that's me.
I hope that's you, and I hope that's me.

I hope that's me.

Back To The Future

[No lyrics]

. . .


I'd like to take you out on Friday night
I bet you're beautiful by candlelight
We'll grab a bite and dance the night away
I'll try to have you home by Saturday

Hey, let me take you out to dinner
You know there's nothing else I'd rather do
Okay, except for maybe stay up all night, baby
And have breakfast with you

It's up to you, girl, set the pace
I'll be the gas, you be the breaks
I can have you home before midnight
Or twelve noon if it all goes right

Hey, let me take you out to dinner
You know there's nothing else I'd rather do
Okay, except for maybe stay up all night, baby
And have breakfast with you

Everybody sleeps
That's just so boring
Why kiss goodnight,
When you can kiss good morning?

Hey, let me take you out to dinner
You know, there's nothing else I'd rather do
Okay, except for maybe stay up all night, baby
And have breakfast with you

Yeah, you know the only thing better
A glass of wine and a table for two
Just you and me making hot eggs and bacon, having
Breakfast with you

Oh, breakfast with you
I wanna make sweet breakfast with you
