LYRICS
Three Chord Country and American Rock & Roll
Keith Anderson/John Rich (ASCAP)/(BMI)Cut off Wranglers and bikinis on the railroad bridge
Dive into the river then climb up and jump again
When the sun is settin' we head down to the beer barn
Grab a couple keggers and we roll out to the farm
Park our pickups in a circle, let the tailgates down
Laugh while everybody's gettin' drunk as Cooter Brown
Crankin' everything from Brooks & Dunn to Aerosmith
Out here in the country that's the way we get our kicks
Chorus
Yeah, we like to keep it simple, y'all, in everything we do
Got our own kind of laid back livin', if you don't mind, thank you
We love the kind of music you can feel down in your soul
Give us three chord country and American rock & roll
We like to pick our guitars with the neighbors all night long
Sip on granny's moonshine while we sing Bocephus songs
Listen to ol' granddad preach about red, white, and blue
And how he kicked Hitler's ass in 1942
Repeat chorus
Bridge
'Old Dogs and Watermelon Wine' does us just fine
'Little Pink Houses' and 'I Walk the Line'
It doesn't take much to have ourselves a good time
Repeat chorus
Tag
'Does Ft. Worth ever cross your mind'
'I'm Wanted Dead or Alive'
'Dream On, dream On'

Podunk
Keith Anderson/Tom Hambridge/Jeffrey Steele (ASCAP)/(BMI)Same Saturday night, same ol' crowd
Draggin' Main to the Safeway then turn back around
'Til curfew and then head down to the river's edge and get drunk
Ain't nothing new, what else you gonna do out in Podunk
Well I knew this six string was my ticket out
No flashin' red light was gonna slow me down
18 years old everything that I owned in the back of that truck
I put a dip in my mouth and I headed straight outta Podunk
1st Chorus
Goodbye, daddy looked me in the eye said go where you gotta go
But don't forget to call home
And momma cried keep Jesus in your life and I hugged her one last time
And then I headed down the road in a dusty cloud of smoke
Out of Podunk
Bridge
A lot of years gone by showin' on my face
Nothing in this life that time hasn't changed
I chased a lot of dreams and some of them came true
Ain't it funny how the very place I ran from is the place I'm runnin' to
Another Saturday night singin' to the same ol' crowd
Still playin' this six-string but things are different now
I met one of them girls turn your whole world around girls
And wouldn't you know it
We got our eyes on a house 'bout a hundred miles south
Out in Podunk
2nd Chorus
Goodbye, her daddy looked me in the eye
And said go where you gotta go son but don't forget to call home
And her momma cried said keep Jesus in your life and we hugged her one last time
Then we headed down that road to start a family of our own
Out in Podunk
Repeat 2nd Chorus 2x

Wrap Around
Keith Anderson/John Rich/Kim Williams (ASCAP)You should see her every morning
In my faded flannel shirt
Wearing her big bear slippers
She's so sexy that it hurts
And when I take her to the city
You should see her turning heads
They've never seen nothin' so pretty
She can't help but knock 'em dead, yeah yeah
Chorus
She's got a kiss that burns me down
She's got a touch that makes me come unwound
She's got a smile that knocks me to the ground
My baby's got the kinda love a man can wrap around
She's the perfect combination
Of Ginger and Mary Ann
Down home sophistication
Ain't no lines in her tan
Sometimes she likes to hear Sinatra
Sometimes ZZ Top
But if you crank "La Cucaracha"
She'll dance until you, she'll dance until you drop
Repeat chorus
Bridge
Oh, I don't think God ever
Never made anything better

XXL
Keith Anderson/Bob DiPiero (ASCAP)/(BMI)Momma was exhausted after she had me
Took two nurses to hold me and one nurse to slap me
Doctor turned to momma and shook his head
Wiped the sweat off his brow and then he said
"This boys way off the charts as far as I can tell
Ooohhh bbbb momma's he's a double X-L"
By the second grade I was 5ft 2
Fifth grade I was wearing a size 12 shoe
Eighth grade I was shoppin' at the 'Big and Tall'
And the coaches had me playing high school football
Uncle Roy said, "Boy you'll make the NFL
Ooohhh bbbb son, you're a double X-L"
Chorus
Double X-L, double X-L
Don't call me on the phone, just ring my dinner bell
Double X-L, double X-L
I'm a lean mean love machine that likes to be held
Ooohhh bbbb baby I'm a double X-L
Country cuties in Texas, string bikinis in Florida
Barbie dolls drivin' a Lexus out in California
A skinny little pretty boy ain't what they wanna hold
They want a real man with meat on his bones
I'll yank their Yankees and ring their southern belles
And they say "ooohhh we love a double X-L"
Repeat chorus 2x
Tag
If you have any doubts, come see for yourself
Why all the girls love a double X-L
Ooohhh bbbb yeah a double X-L
Triple X-L too

Pickin' Wildflowers
Keith Anderson/John Rich/Kim Williams (ASCAP)Hey baby, watcha doing this evening
Can you meet me down by the railroad tracks
I got Tom Petty playing in my Silverado
And I've iced down a six-pack
Hey Daisy, don't you worry 'bout your mama
Like 007 we can keep it covert
Under cover on the ground by the water
Gonna get a little piece on earth
1st chorus
Baby, watcha say we go pickin' wildflowers
Gotta spot way back in the woods
Sneak away for a couple of hours
You and me, baby, pickin' wildflowers
Hey baby, Mother Nature is waiting and
Love is blooming like a cherry tree
Let's buzz around maybe do some pollinating
Dive in like honeybees
Repeat 1st chorus
Bridge
Take a trail ride if you know what I mean
Hey baby, won't you come with me
2nd chorus
Watcha say we go pickin' wildflowers
Gotta spot way back in the woods
Sneak away for a couple of hours
Spend a little time pickin' wildflowers

Every Time I Hear Your Name
Keith Anderson/Tom Hambridge/Jeffrey Steele (ASCAP)/(BMI)Finally got over that song of ours
Stopped chasin' little red sports cars
To check the license plates
And I quit drivin' by your place
Back makin' the rounds at our old haunts
Honky-tonks, restaurants
Seein' some of our old friends
Feels good to dance again
And I can finally smell your perfume
And not look around the room for you
And I can walk right by your picture in frame
And not feel a thing but when I hear your name
1st Chorus
I feel rain
Fallin' right outta the blue sky
And it's the 5th of May
And I'm right there starin' in your eyes
And nothin's changed and we're still the same
And I get lost in the innocence of a first kiss
And I'm hangin' on to every word rollin' off your lips
That's all it takes and I'm in that place
Every time I hear your name
Got someone special in my life
Everyone thinks she'd make a great wife
Dad says he thinks she's the one
Reminds him of mom when she was young
But it's way too soon to be talkin' about rings
Don't want to rush into anything
She's getting over someone too
Kinda like me and you
She talks about him every once in a while
And I just nod my head and smile
'Cause I know exactly what she's goin' through
Yeah, I've been there too
When the conversation turns to you
2nd Chorus
I get caught in a that you were the only one for me
Kinda thought and your face is all that I see
I know can't go back but I still go back
And there we are parked down by the riverside
And I'm in your arms about to make love for the first time
That's all it takes and I'm in that place
Every time I hear your name
I start thinking 'bout the words I left unsaid
I start tryin' to change the things I can't change
In my heart I know you're gone
But in my head
3rd Chorus
I feel rain
Fallin' right outta the blue sky
And it's the 5th of May
And I'm right there starin' in your eyes
And that's all it takes and I'm in that place
There we are parked down by the riverside
And I'm in your arms about to make love for the first time
And I can't explain but I'm in that place
Every time I hear your name

Stick It
Keith Anderson/Vicky McGehee/Jeffrey Steele (ASCAP)/(BMI)Red lipstick on my blue collar
And a number in Maybelline black eye liner
Written on a napkin in my back pocket
She found it right there, right before she washed it
Well I started back steppin', stumblin' and stutterin'
Tellin' her where I'd been and how she was just a friend
She said you know I know that ain't the truth
But if that's the story you're sticking to
Chorus
You can stick it where the sun don't shine
Gonna take her advice (sit back down)
And hitch me a ride (and stay here all night)
Went right back to that waterin' hole
Where the cold beer flows
And the Cuervo's gold
Suck a little salt and lime
Under that neon light
Gonna take my sorry behind
And stick it where the sun don't shine
And have me a good time
I got a call from Woodro, hey Bro
Your wardrobe is throw'd all over the lawn
There's a lot of black smoke coming from your bass boat
And your old lady's cussin' and a carryin' on
So I told Woodro put her on the cell phone
He said I can't Bro she's got me in a chokehold
Doing that Tae Bo, I think she broke my elbow
Hello, Woodrow, hello, hey, is that you baby?
Do what? She said
Repeat chorus
Tag
Hey, bartender
Pour me another one and make it strong
I bet old Woodro should be by here any minute
He's gonna need one too
Oh, hell, just bring me a bottle
It looks like I'm gonna be here a while

Plan B
Keith Anderson/Craig Wiseman (ASCAP)Well I heard that you met somebody
And I heard that the wedding was nice
It happened kinda sudden but true love doesn't
Have to think about that kinda thing twice
Now you've got your man and right on your hand
Is that 2.2 marquise but as for me it looks like Plan B
Well I won't say the news didn't shock me
That it didn't kinda take me by surprise
'Cause you'd headed out west to find yourself
And you found yourself some guy
You'd always said that we'd be wed
By the time you were 23 so now for me it's Plan B
Chorus
I gotta be strong, I gotta be tough
I gotta believe that I'm man enough
To chalk it all up to it never was meant to be
Yeah it's gonna be hard but I've gotta begin
To dust off my dreams and dream 'em again
'Cause I gotta be crazy to think you'd still love me
So that leaves just me and ol' Plan B
Well at first I thought it didn't matter
Yeah I'd give it a year at best
But then somebody told me you were starting to show
And they had to let out your wedding dress
Hell man I could hear the door slam
From L.A. all the way to Big D
Leaving me with Plan B
Repeat chorus
Tag
Yeah that means it's just me and ol' Plan B

Lazy With Your Love
Keith Anderson/Joni Wilson (ASCAP)Alarm goes off and I smell the morning coffee
I hear your shower running, there goes another day
So I get up and pull back the shower curtain
Climb on in baby let it rain
I've got a million things to do and I know you do too
Call your boss, I'll call mine, we got some lovin' that's overdue
Follow me, take my hand
The bed's still warm
Gonna leave this busy world outside and get lazy with your love
Chorus
Lazy with your love
Take all day, we ain't in no rush
You're amazing when we touch
You drive me crazy when I get lazy with your love
Sunlight thru the window dances on your skin
My fingers memorize your body and I fall in love again
You look deep inside of me and I realize
Everything I ever need is in your eyes when I get

The Clothes Don't Make The Man
Keith Anderson/Arlis Albritton (ASCAP)My brother's got a black & white picture with numbers across his chest
He'll do 15 more years if his behavior stays at it's best
He took the blame to save his best friend's name
At a job that went bad down in Birmingham
Yeah, but he don't mind that orange suit 'cause he knows
The clothes don't make the man
Two cells down from where my brother lays his head
The walls echo "Amazing Grace" & quotes of scripture that man once read
When he preyed upon the little souls of all those boys
That didn't understand
You can wear a robe that's laced with gold
But the clothes don't make the man
Chorus
Designer names, rips and stains, shouldn't tell you who I am
'Cause sometimes angels hide their wings
And the devil's dressed like a lamb
Yeah, the clothes don't make the man
They all laughed and called him names when he said that he was sent
To be their king
You don't even own a home, you've got simple clothes
And sandals on your feet
Stripped of his pride, he was crucified up on a cross with nails of hatred
In his hands
But he rose from that grave in three days
Yeah, the clothes don't make the man

I'll Know When I Get There
Keith Anderson/Jeffrey Steele (ASCAP)/(BMI)Town to town, job to job, livin' in cars in parking lots
A good hot meal and a place to sleep
Things you miss when your chasin' dreams
Playing in bars for tips in a jar middle of nowhere county fairs
Talent shows, rodeos, any ol' stage with a microphone
For the chance to sing I'd do anything and it feels like I've lost
Everything
But I gotta believe it's down that road somewhere
Guess I'll know when I get there
Calling cards and old pay phones, mama cries when ya comin' home
Do ya need any money, are you sure, are ya eatin' well, are you goin' to church
GAC, CMT, still ain't seen ya on TV.
We keep turning on that radio still waiting to hear them songs you wrote
Dad wants to know all the stars you've met do you ever see Dolly are you famous yet
I just say mama keep me in your prayers
And I'll know when I get there
Bridge
I don't know if it's worth it
And I don't know if I'm good enough
All I know is I'm givin' it all I got
And I'll know when I get there
Town to town, job-to-job, livin' in cars in parking lots
A good hot meal and a place to sleep
Things you miss when your chasin' dreams
It's hard to tell just where you're at
When you're lookin' for something that ain't on a map
I just gotta believe it's down that road somewhere
And I'll know when I get there
I'll know when I get there
I'll know when I get there
Town to town and job-to-job livin' in cars in parking lots
