"Way Back Texas" by Pat Green (Wendell Mobley/Craig Wiseman)

1st Verse

Sometimes it's a car
A certain shade of misty blue
I think of you
And I wonder how on earth you are
Or sometimes just a song
Is playin' on my radio
And there I go
Just a'wishin' you were singin' along

Pre Chorus

And that's all it takes
And I drift off to dreamin' I'm in

Chorus

Way Back, Texas
(You were) (Were you) layin' in my arms
Had a class ring necklace
We're gonna buy that little farm
Way down by the river
Yeah, (raise a family) (live a'happily)
Down in Way Back, Texas
(Uh, huh) (Way back)
Population: you and me

2nd Verse

Me, I'm doin' well
With no one in particular
But girl, I heard that you went
And you rang them weddin' bells
They say his name is John
His daddy owns a dealership
But the slipper don't quite fit
Yeah, but life goes on and on

Pre Chorus

So I guess that I'll hang up
I just wondered if you ever dream of

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

And every now and then
If you need me I'll be back in

(Repeat Chorus)



   "Dixie Lullaby" by Pat Green (Pat Green/Patrick Davis/Justin Andrew Pollard)

1st Verse

My father had skin like leather
Hands like steel
From a lifetime spent in a cotton field
And though he'd come home tired and dirty
Almost every night
He found the strength to smile at me
And hold my mama tight

Pre Chorus

While that ol' transistor radio
Would play the Opry out in the hall
I'd sit and watch those shadows
Glide across the wall

1st Chorus

And they danced to a Dixie lullaby
A picture of love beneath a Southern sky
Oh my, what a beautiful life
Just like a Dixie lullaby

2nd Verse

I left home at eighteen
In a hand-me-down Chevrolet
Packed with my mama's cookin'
And my old man's stubborn ways
It was college, work, and love
And then the babies came
The youngest one got his grandaddy's name

Pre Chorus

And in the early mornin' hours
When my children could not sleep
I'd rock them in my arms to a gentle beat

2nd Chorus

And sing them a Dixie lullaby
Hush baby, don't you start to cry
Oh my, what a beautiful life
Just like a Dixie lullaby

3rd Verse

My father was a mountain of a man
That was the description that I gave
The mornin' that we laid him in his grave
There with my mama by his side
I said my last goodbye
To a man I thought would never die

Pre Chorus

And as I stood there in that field
Of amazing grace
Oh, how the tears ran down my face

Tag Chorus

And I sang him a Dixie lullaby
We'll meet again by and by
Oh my, what a beautiful life
Just like a Dixie lullaby
Oh my, what a beautiful life
Just like a Dixie lullaby



   "Feels Just Like It Should" by Pat Green (Pat Green/Brett James/Justin Andrew Pollard)

1st Verse

Let's jump in my El Camino, uh uh huh
Roll the windows down
Thought we'd see
What kind 'a trouble we could find
Out on this messed up little town
Put the Boss on the radio, uh huh
Take whatever comes
We'll go flyin' down the highway
With my arm around you
Singin' 'Born to Run'

Chorus

(And) it feels just like it should
Must be some kind of miracle
Like I got sun on my face
And the rain it ain't never gonna fall
It feels so good
(Oh) (Man) it's almost spiritual
Tomorrow's nowhere in sight
Right now, right here tonight
It feels just like it should

2nd Verse

Well, you got your good looks, uh huh
And you got your style
And I drowned here in this ocean
Just to have you float my boat for a while
I've got a reputation, uh huh
But don't you worry 'bout that
Just give me a chance
And we're never gonna ever look back

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Maybe Romeo gets the girl this time
I guess everybody gets a chance to shine
And tonight is mine

(Repeat Chorus)



   "Baby Doll" by Pat Green (Pat Green/Rob Thomas)

1st Verse

She stops and checks her reflection
In a car parked on the corner
She said,
'It's hell on me, this workin' down at the diner'
Some people say,
'Man, she was hot back when she was younger'
Ya, well, she was a dancer when she lived in LA

Pre Chorus

She was someone's baby doll
A beauty queen to someone long ago
From the midnight show

Chorus

And (if) (when) you close your eyes
You hear the music playin'
You can see her dancin'
Underneath the spotlight, and
When she sleeps
She dreams she's back in Hollywood
Back when all the world was young
And she was someone's baby doll

2nd Verse

She stops and checks her reflection
In the bathroom on her lunch break
She says,
'I still look good for someone half of my real age'
Some people say,
'Man, I bet she still makes love like an earthquake'
Yeah, but man, she ain't easy
She ain't lettin' you in, my friend, my friend

Pre Chorus

It's time to wake up, baby doll
Put your best dress and your high heels on
And dream you're gone

(Repeat Chorus)

3rd Verse

She stops and calls an old friend
From the pay phone at the subway
She says,
'I feel like I'm just sittin' here
Wastin' my days away'

Pre Chorus

It's time to move on, baby doll
And walk away just like you did before
When you wanted more

Tag Chorus

And when you close your eyes
You hear the music playin'
You can see her dancin'
Underneath the spotlight, and
When she sleeps
She dreams she's back in Hollywood
When she was a younger girl
A pretty heart in a tainted world
Not sure who you wanna be
Your Daddy's little drama queen
I hope that when you find yourself
You're more than just a baby doll



  "Guy Like Me" by Pat Green (Pat Green/David Neuhauser/Pat Green Band)

1st Verse

Hearts and flowers
Forget love letters
Pain and anger
Forget forgiveness
Love ain't waitin' (for) (on) a guy like me

2nd Verse

Debutants and champagne
Diamonds and cocaine
I ain't the son of
Outrageous fortune
Cash ain't status for a guy like me

Chorus

(So) Put me on a cool river
Take my (worries) (sins) (pain) from me
Fly me high on a big, blue sky
Where there's no one here (but) (just) me
((Ah) (Yeah) just me)

3rd Verse

Long black limosine
Pictures in magazines
All night parties
Beautiful people
No supermodel for a guy like me

4th Verse

I'm just a good man
I work with my hands
I get the picture
I heard the message
Hell ain't waitin' for a guy like me

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

(Repeat 1st Verse)

(Chorus Out)



  "Wave On Wave" by Pat Green (Pat Green/David Neuhauser/Justin Pollard)

1st Verse

Mile upon mile, got no direction
We're all playin' the same game
We're all lookin' for redemption
Just afraid to say the name
So caught up now in pretending
What we're seekin' is the truth
I'm just lookin' for a happy ending
All I'm lookin' for is you

Chorus

(And) (Yeah) it came upon me wave on wave
You're the reason I'm still here, yeah
Am I the one you were sent to save
And it came upon me wave on wave
(Wave on wave, wave on wave)

2nd Verse

I wandered out into the water
And I thought that I might drown
I don't know what I was after
Just know I was goin' down
That's when she found me
Not afraid anymore
She said, 'You know, I always had you, baby
Just waitin' for you to find what you were lookin' for'

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

Tag Chorus

The clouds broke, and the angels cried
You ain't gonna walk alone
That's why they put me in your way
And it came upon me wave on wave

(Chorus Out)
