Gretchen Wilson Album

Sometimes I cry for no good reason
sometimes I fight when I ain't mad
Sometimes it hurts and I ain't bleeding
Sometimes I laugh when things go bad

(Chorus:)

But I'll always be the girl I am
When life comes falling down on me I do the best I can
I never make apologies cause I don't give a damn
I'll guess I'll always be the girl I am

Sometimes I know there's something missing
Sometimes I want to start again
Sometimes I scream and none listens
Sometimes I feel like giving in

(Repeat Chorus:)

But I'll always be the girl I am
And When life comes falling down on me I do the best I can
And I never make make apologies cause I don't give a damn
I guess I'll always be the girl I am

And I never make apologies cause I don't give a damn
Yeah I guess I'll always be the girl I am

Sometimes we fight
'Bout who's wrong and right
And stay up all night
And sometimes we drink
And say hurtful things
That we don't mean

Pre Chorus

Yeah, we're both screamin'
But nobody's listenin'
Let's take this madness
Out of the kitchen

Chorus

Come to bed
Let's just lay down
There's just one way
We're gonna work this out
Forget what I did
Forget what you said
Oh, darlin' (darlin')
Come to bed


Well, I love you
You know I do
And you love me, too
So let's just stop
Remember what we've got
Before it all gets lost

Pre Chorus

Just take my hand
It's been way too long
Turn out the lights
And turn each other on

Chorus

Come to bed
Let's just lay down
There's just one way
We're gonna work this out
Forget what I did
Forget what you said
Oh, darlin' (darlin')
Come to bed

Bridge

And let's put aside our pride
For feelin's for tonight
In the mornin' we'll see things
In a different light

Tag Chorus

Just come to bed
Let's just lay down
There's just one way
We're gonna work it out
Forget what I did
Forget what you said
Oh, darlin' (darlin')
Come to bed

I can do most anything a man can do
I can hold my liquor with the best of you
Even take your money in a game of pool
Yeah, I'd kick your butt, if I wanted to

And I don't mind when people cuss in front of me
The truth is I don't blush that much at anything
But I've still got this little girl inside of me
That likes to be treated like a queen

And I know I don't act much like a lady
But I still need to be somebody's baby
Yeah, you might find me makin' too much noise
But I'm more than just one of the boys
Yeah, I'm more than just one of the boys

God knows I ain't never been the clingy type
Lookin' for a man to make it all alright
But I don't mind admitting sometimes late at night
Well, I need someone to hold me tight

And I know I don't act much like a lady
But I still need to be somebody's baby
Yeah, you might find me makin' too much noise
But I'm more than just one of the boys
Yeah, I'm more than just one of the boys

Well, they're flickin' on the bar lights, band's playin' one last song
And if you want another round better order it now it's last call
Crowd's still rockin' and it's 2:01
The bartender's screamin' at the top of his lungs

You don't have to go home
But you can't stay here
You can walk, you can crawl, get carried off by the law
But you will get the hell out of here

You don't have to go home
You don't have to go home
But you can't stay here

Well, there's a couple hidin' out, gettin' down in a bathroom stall
And there's a 20 dollar bet just waitin' on the eight ball to fall
Everybody's beggin' for one last shot
Before they kick our butts into the parking lot

You don't have to go home
But you can't stay here
You can walk, you can crawl, get carried off by the law
But you will get the hell out of here

You don't have to go home
You don't have to go home
But you can't stay here

You don't have to go home
You don't have to go home
You don't have to go home

You don't have to go home
But you can't stay here
You can walk, you can crawl, get carried off by the law
But you will get the hell out of here

You don't have to go home
You don't have to go home
You don't have to go home
But you can't stay here

I'm no stranger to temptation
I have found some comfort there
But it only leaves me with questions
Never answers any prayers

I've been as high as Angels fly
And I've fallen straight to Hell
Heaven help me, Heaven help me
'Cause I can't help myself

I have wounded those who love me
And refused to take the blame
I have hidden all my demons
But I cannot hide my shame

I've forgotten who I am
But I know you know me well
Heaven help me, Heaven help me
'Cause I can't help myself

Give me wisdom, give me strength
Give me faith above all else
Heaven help me, Heaven help me
'Cause I can't help myself

Heaven help me, Heaven help me
'Cause I can't help myself

There's a place in the whiskey
Where I don't give a damn
I just love everybody
Everybody loves who I am

Bartender hit me, won't you get me
To that place in the whiskey?

Yeah, there's a place in the whiskey
A few more shots from here
Where the spirits hit me
And all my troubles disappear

Bartender hit me, won't you get me
To that place in the whiskey?

Well, you'll know I'm there where you hear me yell
That hillbilly high lonesome sound
Raisin' hell with a rebel yell, just turn that music up if I get too loud
Bring me another round

Yeah, there's a place in the whiskey
Where I like to smoke everything you got, baby
I got the fire down below
Well, let face it we're both wasted in that place in the whiskey

Well, there's a place in the whiskey
Where nothing else makes sense
But to party, party, party, party, party, party, party
Till' all my moneys spent

Bartender hit me, won't you get me
To that place in the whiskey?
Bartender hit me, who's coming with me
To that place in the whiskey?

You want me to bring you home the bacon
Fry it up and serve it to you too
When I don't, you act so God forsaken
Like somehow I've been mistreating you

I know that's the way your mama did it
She waited on you dang near all your life
It took a while but now I finally get it
You were never looking for a wife

If you want a mother I can be one
That ain't all that difficult for me
We can do it your way from now on, son
And I'll show you what a mother I can be

Remember Tuesday night when you're out bowling
You better have your butt back home by 9
Other wise you're grounded for the weekend
And that brand new Silverado will be mine

In the evening when you're feeling sleepy
Well, I'll tuck you in and pat you on your head
And I'll be right down the hall if you should need me
Big boys have to sleep in their own bed

If you want a mother I can be one
That ain't all that difficult for me
We can do it your way from now on, son
And I'll show you what a mother I can be

If you want a mother I can be one
That ain't all that difficult for me
We can do it your way from now on, son
And I'll show you what a mother I can be

You can go on back to momma's apron strings
Let your momma be a mother just like me

I've been pouring whiskey on your memory
I cant seem to drown this hurt inside
Bottom of the bottle leaves me empty
I need something strong to ease my mind

I need a pain killer
Just one night of sleep
Someone who will hold me close
And get me over him

And it'll taste bitter
Stranger set me free
I need a pain killer
Before this pain kills me

Never thought I'd have to love another
Never been the kind to sleep around
I wish it was a pill and not a lover
It's gonna be so hard to swallow down

I need a pain killer
Just one night of sleep
Someone who will hold me close
And get me over him

And it'll taste bitter
Stranger set me free
I need a pain killer
Before this pain kills me

And It'll taste bitter
Stranger set me free
I need a pain killer
Before this pain kills me

I need a pain killer
Before this pain kills me

I was born in the country on an old farm road
Worked hard for a livin' but I still stayed broke
Everything I had was either borrowed or loaned
Except my mobile home

I started pickin' and a grinnin' and a drawin' a crowd
Saved up my nickels and I turned it around
Hitched up the trailer and my chickens and cows
Moved right into town

There goes the neighborhood
Trashin' it up just like you knew we would
You throw a hillbilly log into the Hollywood
And there goes the neighborhood

I couldn't wait to start unpackin' my stuff
Pulled out the pink flamingos and I put 'em in front
Cranked up the stereo in my old truck
Iced down a case of Bud

Called Uncle Vernon said, "Come cut the grass"
He showed up on his mower with a half empty flask
You ought to see the people slowin' down when they pass
Sayin', "Man, would you look at that?"

There goes the neighborhood
Trashin' it up just like you knew we would
You throw a hillbilly log into the Hollywood
And there goes the neighborhood

They got Poodles and pools and lawn mowers
I got Pitt Bulls and pistols and ponds
Yeah, they're playing possum
While I'm living high on the Hog

There goes the neighborhood
Trashin' it up just like you knew we would
You throw a hillbilly log into the Hollywood
And there goes the neighborhood

You throw a hillbilly log into the Hollywood
There goes the neighborhood
Y'all come back now, ya hear?

Some girls are lookin for a Wall Street Man
With lots of green in the bank
Got to find a feller with a red wine cellar
And a big, black Escalade
One of them dudes that don't cuss or chew
Don't never do nothin wrong
Personally that don't do it for me, yeah
You can keep'em all

Chorus
I'd rather have a good ole boy
One who ain't afraid to make some noise
Do what you want to do but if I had the Choice
I'd rather have a good ole boy
Yeah, I'd rather have a good ole boy

Well, I've met guys in suits and ties
That'll buy you anything you want
Drink champagne and drop big names
In a high-dollar restaurant
I'd rather run with a son of a gun
That'll get a little dirt on his hands
I'd trade a high class livin for some good catfishin
With a real blue collar man

Chorus
I'd rather have a good ole boy
One who ain't afraid to make some noise
Do what you want to do but if I had the Choice
I'd rather have a good ole boy
Yeah, I'd rather have a good ole boy

Chorus
I'd rather have a good ole boy
Who ain't afraid to make some noise
Do what you want to do but if I had the Choice
I'd rather have a good ole boy

Chorus
You know I'd rather have a good ole boy
One Who ain't afraid to make some noise
Do what you want to do but if I had the Choice
I'd rather have a good ole boy
Yeah, I'd rather have a good ole boy

Morning Light Comes shinin' in
It dont break and I dont bend It dont hide behind the blie I wish I could be that true Wakin ups the harderst part how could I have broke your heart How do I just lie in bed Knowin' what I havent said

Chorus:
To tell you the truth would set me free Im livin a lie and its killin me What I really want to do is just talk this thing through But it's hurt you to tell you the truth It all comes up with the mornin sun It all comes down to the said and done You know sometimes I pray for rain I think somehow it hides my pain

::Repeat Chorus::

Well Tomorrows just another day That I wont find the words to say WHen that old sun comes shinin in Reminding me again

::Repeat Chorus::

Morning light comes shinin in It dont break and it dont bend.
