Feet lyrics - Rodney Atkins

Don't let the sun set on an argument

It's easy to say when you're not in one

That's a fact

Cause when we're not gettin' along

She's got a strong stubborn side

But I can't call that kiddo black

Cause sometimes our silly fights

May go well into the night

And we hit the sack

Back to back

Too ticked off to speak

We'd rather hold our grudges

Than be the one that budges

We'd go to bed

Buttin' heads and tuggin' sheets

But we never fall asleep

Without touching feet

Yeah we'll take cover

On that queen-size battle field

Her angry eyes are almost closed

We'll swallow just enough

Of that foolish pride

To whisper the truth soul to soul

Toe to toe

Sometimes our silly fights

Go well into the night

And we'll hit the sack

Back to back

Too ticked off to speak

We'd rather hold our grudges

Than be the one that budges

We'd go to bed

Buttin' heads and tuggin' sheets

But we never fall asleep

Without touching feet

It's not giving in

It's sayin' nobody's leaving

But you know that I still love you

Even when we're disagreeing

Cause sometimes our silly fights

Go well into the night

And we hit the sack

Back to back

Too ticked off to speak

Cause we'd rather hold our grudges

Than be the one that budges

We'll go to bed

Buttin' heads and tuggin' sheets

But we never fall asleep

Without touching feet

Cabin In The Woods lyrics - Rodney Atkins

I know the guy that owns the key to the lock on the chain of that gate

Across that gravel road that winds back into the trees.

You'd never know just over that hill there's a little log house by a spring

Fed creek where the blue bells grow so thick you wouldn't believe.

And he said it would be ok if we wanted to use it for a weekend getaway.

Oh I wanna lay down with you

In a cabin in the woods.

On an old feather bed.

With the fire goin good.

Just the two of us alone

Feelin like we should. 

I wanna lay down with you

In a cabin in the woods.

We can sit on the porch and soak up the moon light or if it gets cold we

Can go inside and light a candle or two and open up some wine.

And if we get lucky it'll start to rain on that old tin roof don't you love

That sound that will get you all relaxed and freeze your mind.

Come on baby lets go right now.

I can't wait to get you where there's no one else around.

Oh I wanna lay down with you

In a cabin in the woods.

On an old feather bed.

With the fire goin good.

Just the two of us alone 

Feelin like we should.

I wanna lay down with you 

In a cabin in the woods.

I wanna hold you and listen to the crickets sing.

And a coyote howlin at the midnight train

While were doin our thing.

Yeah I wanna lay down with you

In a cabin in the woods.

On an old feather bed.

With the fire goin good.

Just the two of us alone 

Feelin like we should.

I wanna lay down with you

In a cabin in the woods.

I wanna lay down with you

In a cabin in the woods.

Baby I know the guy that owns the key to the lock on the chain of that gate

Across that gravel road that winds back into the trees.

Just Wanna Rock N' Roll lyrics - Rodney Atkins

Times are tough and times are strange

But time's one thing that you can't change

Love is a noun and love is a verb

But sometimes love is a dirty word

It don't matter what tomorrow brings

Tonight you just need to think about one thing

And that's showing up and letting go

And maybe gettin' just a little out of control

And sing ohh

Don't you just wanna rock 'n' roll

Gather up a couple of friends

Let a shot hit the spot

And the party begin

And sing ohhh yeah

Don't you just wanna rock 'n' roll

Lose yourself out in the crowd

In the night, in the lights

Cuttin' loose some love

Drown all the stressed up

Theft up messed up out

That's all I'm talking about

The sun will shine

And the clouds will rain

Might have to learn to smile through the pain

You lose a step but you gain a friend

Might even catch a break every now and then

So don't sweat it just let it slide

And when you get on the road baby let it ride

You gotta get up to get down

You gotta unwind a little to come on 'round

And sing ohh yeah

Don't you just wanna rock 'n' roll

Gather up a couple of friends

Let a shot hit the spot

And the party begin

Ohhh yeah

Don't you just wanna rock 'n' roll

Lose yourself out in the crowd

In the night, in the lights

Cuttin' loose some love

Drown all the messed up

Theft up stressed up out

That's all I'm talking about

And when you get tired of trying to be

Who they want you to be

Be what you wanna be

Well come on, come on

Ohhh oh yeah

Don't you just wanna rock 'n' roll

Gather up a couple of friends

Let a shot hit the spot

And let the party begin

Ohhh oh

Don't you just wanna rock 'n' roll

Lose yourself out in the crowd

In the night, in the lights

Cuttin' loose some love

Drown all the stressed up

Messed up theft up out

That's all I'm talking about

Don't you just wanna rock 'n' roll [x2]

Gather up a couple of friends

Let the party begin

Lose yourself out in the crowd

Don't you just wanna rock 'n' roll

Growing Up Like That lyrics - Rodney Atkins

I was 12 years old with some bolts and a wrench, a piece of plywood that was 3/4 inch and daddy said son once your chores are one I'll give you one of them gris old barn poles. I went out in the pasture with no cow patties, got some post hole diggers, and I got after it. Had some sun on my back and a blister on my hand, but man I had myself a goal!

I dribbles that ball till the grass was gone and the ground was brown and flat. Me and Daddy played horse and the cows all "mooed" and we laughed. I was lucky and I didn't even know it growing up like that.

I learned the birds and the bee's from the cats and the dogs, & a frog starts out as a pollywog. The best blackberry cobbler is made from scratch, and worth every one you get from the briar patch. I found out firewood will warm you twice, once when you cut it and once when you light it. & I can't help but smile when I look back, cause I was lucky and I didn't even know It growin' up like that.

There was an old wooden barrel hind my grandpa's house where we threw our tatter peels and coffee grounds, say you want to catch catfish long as your arm, son you gotta have a night crawler farm. Well we'd sit on the dock and share a bottle of pop and catch a few and then head on back. Me and Daddy clean fish while the cats "meowed" and we laughed, I was lucky and I didn't even know it growing up like that

I learned the birds and the bee's from the cats and the dogs, & a frog starts out as a pollywog. The best blackberry cobbler is made from scratch, and worth every one you get from the briar patch. If you ever got sugar in a hot hay loft and you still can't believe y'all didn't get caught. You close your eyes and smile when you look back, you were lucky and you didn't know it growing up like that.

Ya learned the birds and the bee's from the cats and the dogs, and skinny dippin beats anything ya ever saw. The best blackberry cobbler is made from scratch, and worth every one you get from the briar patch. Sometimes me and her still slip off to that cozy little corner in the old hay loft, taste that honeysuckle off her lips off the beaten path. Cause I'm lucky and baby I know. I'm doin my best there to show. Now you never really do outgrow it growin up like that.

You like good cold beer and pickin' guitar. & you really don't care about being a star, you just do it cause you love it and love it cause you do it. Shuck cobs on the porch, till some buddies show up with some [?]can I get an Amen growin up like that!

Tips lyrics - Rodney Atkins

Well, I was counting my tips at the Playing Sixes

In this [?]

When this old beach bum yelled out

"Come on, play, give me three steps"

I was beat but I played him one more

Then I was headed out towards the door

And he handshake and handed me a hundred dollar bills

And said, "By the way, I own this bar"

Then he winked at me and said, "Kid, I got a few more tips

But they sure ain't the kind that would fit in that jar"

You gotta treat people right on your ride up

They'll have your back on the way back down

He said, "Take it from this old beach bum, son

Keeping it real is what it's really about"

You can count your blessings, count yourself lucky

But every day you get above ground

Oh, that ain't about keeping count of what you got

It's making what you got count

He grabbed me by the arm and said

He said, "Real quick, boy, let me tell you this story

About this real rich dude I used to know real well

He owned all kinds of stuff but when he added it all up

He still felt like he was empty as hell"

He said, "Son, would you believe that

That dude was me back before I inventoried my life

Ah, just to live down here, selling shots and some beer

And, and dispensing some free advice"

Now treat people right on your ride up

They'll have your back on the way back down

He said, "Take it from this old beach bum, son

Keeping it real, that's what it's really about"

Count your blessings, count yourself lucky

Every day you get above ground

'Cause it ain't about keeping count of what you got

It's making what you got count

Oh, now I can't recollect how much I collected in my jar

[?]

And tonight I started getting to have a beer with my old friends

And when he saw those tour buses outside, he said

Now are your treating people right on your ride up?

They'll have your back on the way back down

He said, "Take it from this old beach bum, son

Yeah, keep it real, that's what it's really about"

And the best things in life, you can't put a price on

They don't come with no dollar or map, no

'Cause it ain't about keeping count of what you got

It's making what you got count

No, it ain't about keeping count of what you got

No, it all comes down to making what you got count

Make it count, that's what it comes down to, son

Tell your friends and be a friend

Count your blessings, don't count your problems

Best Things lyrics - Rodney Atkins

Football, alcohol, power tools, bird dogs

Gentlemen start your engines

Pool tables, honky tonks, blackjack, Haggard songs

Seventh game extra innin's

That's the best things that's happened to men since women, yeah

You got your four wheelers, pick up trucks, camouflage, hunting bucks

Guns, knives, hunting and fishing

Spark plugs, oil grease, horse power, more speed

Big blocks and transmissions

That's the best things that's happened to men since women, yeah

Yeah, you women are second to none

Beat all I've seen and all I've done

Ain't no such thing as having more fun than with you

So here's to you

Yeah, you women are second to none

Beat all I've seen and all I've done

Sometimes we can't get no lovin' from you

So whatcha gotta do?

Beer pong, eighteen holes, box boats, super bowls

Grilling out steaks and chicken

Loud guitars, throwin' darts, hanging 'round playin' cards

Goin' all in and winnin'

That's the best things that's happened to men since women, yeah

Yeah, you women are second to none

Beat all I've seen and all I've done

Ain't no such thing as having more fun than with you

So here's to you, yeah, yeah, yeah girls here's to you

Got It Good lyrics - Rodney Atkins

Ain't it something? You can jump on a plane

And hop on a bus, catch you a train

Take in a Saturday game at Wrigley Field

Man, ain't it awesome? You can hit Talladega

Drink you a beer with the fan of the driver

You've always hated and probably always will

Yeah, I forget how good I got it sometimes

How lucky I am just to be alive

Oh, I pass through a prayer to the man upstairs

Just to thank Him like I should

Let Him know I get it, I got it good

Oh, it's amazing that boy in the yard

Is half of my wife and God bless his heart

The other half is every last bit of me

I can't explain it how his mama wound up with somebody like me

When she could've done so much better

Make you fall down on your knees

Yeah, I forget how good I got it sometimes

How lucky I am just to be alive

Oh, I pass through a prayer to the man upstairs

Just to thank Him like I should

Let Him know I get it, I got it good, yes I do

I get going so fast that what matters gets blurred

And I can't feel the grass, see the trees, hear the birds

The sky starts to rain and I cuss and complain like a fool

Yeah, I forget how good I got it sometimes

How lucky I am just to be alive

Oh, I pass through a prayer to the man upstairs

Just to thank Him like I should

Let Him know I get it, God I got it good, yes, I do

Get it, got it good, yes I got it good

Rockin' Of The Cradle lyrics - Rodney Atkins

I wanna live with no excuses
And love with no regrets
Take the bad with the good
And know I did my best
Walkin' in the sunshine
And dancin' in the rain
From the rockin' of the cradle
To the rollin' of that long black limousine

From Rock-A-Bye Sweet Baby
'Till I hear the angels sing
From momma's tender kisses
'Till I board that glory train
I wanna love the life I'm livin'
And live the life I dream
From the rockin' of the cradle
To the rollin' of that long black limousine

I can't mend this world with nothin'
And that's how I'll leave someday
And all that I'll take with me
Is the love I gave away
And it's love that makes a difference
From a pauper to a king
From the rockin' of the cradle
To the rollin' of that long black limousine

From Rock-A-Bye Sweet Baby
'Till I hear the angels sing
From momma's tender kisses
'Till I board that glory train
I wanna love the life I'm livin'
And live the life I dream
From the rockin' of the cradle
To the rollin' of that long black limousine

So roll on, roll on
Tell the story, turn the pages
Roll on, roll on
Children of all ages
From the first breath that we take
'Till our last one takes us home
Let love be the rock we're standin' on

From Rock-A-Bye Sweet Baby
'Till I hear the angels sing
From momma's tender kisses
'Till I board that glory train
I wanna love the life I'm livin'
And live the life I dream
From the rockin' of the cradle
To the rollin' of that long black limousine
From the rockin' of the cradle
To the rollin' of that long black limousine

I wanna live with no excuses
And love with no regrets

The River Just Knows lyrics - Rodney Atkins

4 a.m. comes awful early, and I was dead on my feet

But if you gonna catch the biggest fish

You gotta lose a little sleep

Well, I pack my gear and a couple beers

I headed for my favorite spot

Well, I curse my luck when I saw his truck right where I pulled off

Was hoping to have the river to myself that day

'Cause the river don't talk, the river don't care

Where you've been, what you've done

Why it is your standin' there

It just rolls on by whisperin' to your soul

It's gonna be alright, the river just knows

The way the sun bounced off the water

I could hardly make him out

But I could see he had a fish on

A big ole rainbow trout

The fight went on forever

And as they headed down my way, I saw his

military hair cut and the new scars on his face

Right then I knew what brought him to this place

You know the river don't talk, the river don't care

Where you've been, what you've done

Don't know why it is your standin' there

It just rolls on by whisperin' to your soul

It's gonna be alright, the river just knows

He held that fish down in the water

And he coaxed it to back to life

He said "Help, you get your wind back

'Cause you help me get mine"

And all I could think to say was "Welcome home"

But I think that river said it best on its own

You know the river don't talk, the river don't care

Where you've been, what you've done

Don't know why it is your standin' there

It just rolls on by whisperin' to your soul

It's gonna be alright, the river just knows

It's gonna be alright, the river just knows

It just knows...

Lifelines lyrics - Rodney Atkins

I packed up my pick-up at 17

With uncle Bob's old Martin guitar and a dream

Went from singin' in church

To singin' for tips in a honky tonk

Till I became a jukebox flash

Play anything from Zeppelin to Cash

As a hard headed hard livin'

Cover singin' cover of my own self

Forgot who I was and where I was from

Then early one morning my daddy showed up

Lifelines

Where would we be without lifelines

When we're lost at sea

The devil's got you thinking

That the boat ain't sinking

But you're boots are getting wet

That's the thing about lifelines

They tell you the truth

When you won't reach you have to get a hold of you

You're lucky to find a few in your lifetime

Thank God for lifelines

These days I come home

Every Sunday afternoon

Mama always says "I was just thinking about you

How's my favorite son?"

"Say, you mean your only one?

Oh I'm good, almost as good as your gravy"

She said, "Your sister stops by with her kids everyday

But the horse has been tough

They're gonna be OK

Your daddy keeps them busy watching Barbers on the Water

Let some castor cares away"

She said, "Son I know you gotta make money

But don't forget to make time

To slow down and stop by

Have a real piece of pie, here"

Lifelines

Where would we be without lifelines

When we're lost at sea

The devil's got you thinking

That the boat ain't sinking

But you're boots are getting wet

That's the thing about lifelines

They tell you the truth

When you won't reach you have to get a hold of you

You're lucky to find a few in your lifetime

So thank God for lifelines

Where would we be without lifelines

When we're lost at sea

The devil's got you thinking

That the boat ain't sinking

But you're boots are sure getting wet

That's the thing about lifelines

They tell you the truth

When you won't reach you have to get a hold of you

You're lucky to find a few in your lifetime

So thank God for lifelines

Thank God for lifelines
