Big & Rich Album

(Big Kenny/John Rich/Cowboy Troy)

Brother and sisters
We are here for one reason
And one reason alone
To share our love of music
I present to you
Country music without produce, hey

Country boys don't rock and roll
Yeah the record man told me so
Yeah you'll never get it on the radio
Why they trying to complicate
The simple music that we make
Oh cause if it moves my soul
I'm gonna keep on rollin, rollin

Hey, just wanna hear everybody say (rollin', rollin')
At the top of your lungs till the windows brake (rollin', rollin')
Say hey, hey, hey

I ain't gonna shut my mouth
Don't mind if I stand out in a crowd
Just wanna live outloud
Well I know there's got to be
A few hundred million more like me
Just trying to keep it free, yeah

Hey, just wanna hear everybody say (rollin', rollin')
At the top of your lungs till the windows brake (rollin', rollin')
Say hey, hey, hey

Charlie Pride was the man in black
Rock and roll use to be about Johnny Cash
Yeah whatcha think about that
Well I'm a crazy son-of -a-(bad word)
But I know I'm gonna make it big and rich
Yeah im gonna let it rip

Hey, just wanna hear everybody say (rollin', rollin')
At the top of your lungs till the windows brake (rollin', rollin')
Say hey, cowboy Troy

(Cowboy Troy)
Dum-diggity-dum, diggity-diggity-dum dig this
Slicker than the grease from a BBQ Briskit
Got more chunk than a fresh potato salad
You thought you had your answer
But your answer was invalid
Your looking at me crazy cause you think I'm loco
Yhe big black cowboy, with the crazy vocal
Todas las personas gritando arriva
Now you heard it, now I know you a believer
Esta cancion es para toda la gente
Es muy importante a usar su mente
So let go of all your preconcieved notions
Get up on your feet and put your body in motion
Cause back home we love to dance
We could be two-stepin, or ravin' to trance
And when the party is crunk, the girls back it up
We got the systems in the cars and the 20's on the trucks
6 foot four with a cowboy hat
I dont mess around, yo what's up with that
I'm cowboy troy, a texas hick
And I'm rollin with the brothers
Big and Rich

Go cowboy go cowboy go
Go cowboy go cowboy go

Hey, just wanna hear everybody say (rollin', rollin')
At the top of your lungs till the windows brake (rollin', rollin')
Say hey, hey, hey

Hey, just wanna hear everybody say (rollin', rollin')
At the top of your lungs till the windows brake (rollin', rollin')

(Kenny Alphin/Blair Daly/John D. Rich)

I'm feelin' like Tonto,
Ridin' a Pinto,
Tryin' to chase the Lone Ranger down.
I'm a little unravelled,
But I'm still in the saddle,
Cryin' your name out to the crowds,
Hey yaw, Hey yaw!

Why don't you meet me,
Back at the tepee?
We'll lay down by the camp fire.
There, in the dark night,
We'll smoke the peace pipe,
Forget about who's wrong or right.
Hey yaw, Hey yaw!

Yeah, it was a big showdown,
Oh yeah, we stood our ground.
Shot out the lights:
It got a little crazy.
I don't wanna see us go,
The way of the buffalo:
Don't wanna have another wild west show.
Hey yaw, Hey yaw!

Only forgiveness,
Will finally end this.
There won't be a witness if we both fall.
There's never a hero,
In a battle of egos.
There's never a winner of the quick draw.
Hey yaw, Hey yaw!

Yeah, it was a big showdown,
Oh yeah, we stood our ground.
Shot out the lights:
It got a little crazy.
Don't wanna see us go,
The way of the buffalo:
Don't wanna have another wild west show.
Hey yaw, Hey yaw!

Hey yaw, Hey yaw!

It's like a ghost town,
Without you around.
Why can't we just forget it,
Ride off in the sunset?

It was a big showdown,
Oh yeah, we stood our ground.
Shot out the lights:
It got a little crazy.
I don't wanna see us go,
The way of the buffalo:
Don't wanna have another wild west show.
Hey yaw, Hey yaw!

I'm feelin' like Tonto,
Ridin' a Pinto,

(Kenny Alphin/John D. Rich)

Dum de de dum, de de dum, de de dum, de de da da.
Dum de de dum, de de dum, de de dum, de da da, la la la.

Well, I walk into the room passin' out hundred dollar bills.
An' it kills and it thrills like the horns on my Silverado grille.
An' I buy the bar a double round of Crown an' everybody's getting down,
An' this town ain't never gonna be the same.

'Cause I saddle up my horse an' I ride into the city.
I make a lot of noise 'cause the girls, they are so pretty.
Ridin' up an' down Broadway on my old stud, Leroy.
And the girls say: "Save a horse, ride a cowboy."
Everybody says: "Save a horse, ride a cowboy."

Well, I don't give a dang about nothing: I'm singing an' bling-blanging,
While the girls are drinkin' long necks down!
An' I wouldn't trade ol' Leroy or my Chevrolet for your Escalade, or your freak
parade:
I'm the only John Wayne left in this town.

An' I saddle up my horse an' I ride into the city.
I make a lot of noise 'cause the girls, they are so pretty.
Ridin' up an' down Broadway on my old stud, Leroy.
And the girls say: "Save a horse, ride a cowboy."
Everybody says: "Save a horse, ride a cowboy."

"Well, I'm a thoroughbred."
That's what she said in the back of my truck bed,
As I was gettin' buzzed on suds, out on some back country road.
We where flyin' high, fine as wine,
Having ourselves a Big and Rich time
An' I was going, just about as far as she'd let me go.
But her evaluation of my cowboy reputation
Had me beggin' for salvation all night long.
So I took her out, gigging frogs,
Introduced her to my old bird dog
An' sang her every Wilie Nelson song I could think of.
An' we made love.

An' I saddle up my horse an' I ride into the city.
I make a lot of noise 'cause the girls, they are so pretty.
Ridin' up an' down Broadway on my old stud, Leroy.
And the girls say: "Save a horse, ride a cowboy."
Everybody says: "Save a horse, ride a cowboy."

What? What?
"Save a horse, ride a cowboy."

(Big Kenny/John Rich/Vicki McGehee/Jeff Cohn)

Somewhere there's a stolen halo
I use to watch her wear it well
Everything would shine wherever she would go
But looking at her now you'd never tell

Someone ran away with her innocence
A memory she can't get out of her head
I can only imagine what she's feeling
When she's praying
Kneeling at the edge of her bed

And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
Holy water

She wants someone to call her angel
Someone to put the light back in her eyes
She's looking through the faces
The unfamiliar places
She needs someone to hear her when she crys

And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
Holy water

She just needs a little help
To wash away the pain she's felt
She wants to feel the healing hands
Of someone who understands

And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me
And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water

(Big Kenny/John Rich/Angie Aparo)

My hair might be a little to long
For your taste my friend
My car might cost a little less
Then that suit your wearing
I'm glad you stumbled in here on your business trip
Before you close your tab
Remember I play for tips
Well I bet your wife is beautiful
And your a really big so-and-so
Well I'm not doing bad myself
Hey friend don't you know

I play guitar
And I sing my songs in the sunshine
Captain and cokes and bar room jokes
Keep me feeling fine
And there's always a stage
And a beautiful babe to squeeze my line
In my simple way
Guess you could say
I'm living in the big time

I know I'll probably never make a million buck
But saving accounts and the IRS
Never worry me much
I don't need that stuff
Cause I've got friends like you
To buy me drinks, and boats and planes that I can use
I know your really living
In that house up on the hill
So if you feel like giving
Friend I've got a jar to fill

I play guitar
And I sing my songs in the sunshine
Captain and cokes and bar room jokes
Keep me feeling fine
And there's always a stage
And a beautiful babe to squeeze my line
In my simple way
Guess you could say
I'm living in the big time

I'm having the time of my life
No worries on my mind
Everything's just fine
Today is even better than yesterday
Everything's going my way
I'm living in the big time

And there's always a stage
And a beautiful babe to squeeze my line
In my simple way
Guess you could say
I'm living in the big time

In my simple way
Guess you could say

Well, we're comin' to your city.
Gonna play our guitars an' sing you a country song.
We'll all be flyin' higher than a jet airliner.
An' if you wanna little bang in your Ying-Yang, come along.

Well we flew through Cincinatti, an' we all got really happy.
Grabbed a bowl of that skyline chilli along the way.
Then we rolled on into Canton, scared the hell out of Marylin Manson,
And the party started happenin', hey, hey, hey.
An' in the middle of a Charleston night, we ran into Jesco White,
An' a little moonshine got us right from smack insane.

An' we're comin' to your city.
Gonna play our guitars an' sing you a country song.
We'll all be flyin' higher than a jet airliner.
An' if you wanna little bang in your Ying-Yang, come along.

Well, we broke down in Greenville in the middle of a hay field,
But a Bud Light truck pulled up an' helped us out.
So we dead-headed up to Philly, partied down like real hillbillies,
Brought the music mafia an' rocked it out.
Oh, an Chippewa's where we go when we're up in Buffalo:
Don't you know, those Yankees drink enough to drown.

Yeah, we're comin' to your city.
Gonna play our guitars an' sing you a country song.
We'll all be flyin' higher than a jet airliner.
An' if you wanna little bang in your Ying-Yang, come along,
Come along.

Instrumental break.

Listen up:
Now, LA's got the freaks an' finks an' fifteen dollar drinks.
An' San Antonio is a wild, wild rodeo.
An' in Phoenix, Arizona, we drink way too much Corona,
An' we woke up by the river in Jeff City, MO.

An' we're comin' to your city.
Gonna play our guitars an' sing you a country song.
We'll all be flyin' higher than a jet airliner.
An' if you wanna little bang in your Ying-Yang, come along.

Yeah, yeah, we're comin' to your city.
We're gonna play our guitars an' sing you a country song.
We'll all be flyin' higher than a jet airliner.
An' if you wanna little bang in your Ying-Yang;
If you wanna little zing in your zang-zang;
If you wanna little ching in your chang-chang, come along.
Come along.
Come along.
Come along.

If you see me on the street
Looking like I ain't slept in a week (hey) don't worry baby.
Find me closing down the bar
Catch me crawling to my car (hey), just look the other way.
And if I'm by myself with a twisted face
Filling up on comfortable space.

Never mind me (I'll be fine just talking to myself)
Never mind me (sitting all alone inside my personal hell)
I'm going just fine, never mind me.

Well if you just can't comprehend why I'd be kissing your best friend (hey)
Just keep on walking baby.
If you see me sitting on the edge of a twenty story ledge (oh)
But don't try to save me (no)
I'm probably looking at the sky just trying to find the reason why (why)

Never mind me (I'll be fine just talking to myself)
Never mind me (sitting all alone inside my personal hell)
I'm going just fine
Never mind me.
Don't remind me
I'm not crazy don't rewind me then replay me I'm just fine.
Never mind me (I'll be find just talking to myself)
Never mind me (sitting all alone inside my personal hell)
I'm going just fine
Never mind me hey I'll be fine just talking to myself never mind me (ooo)
(Sitting all alone inside my personal hell)

Said goodbye to his momma as he left South Dakota
To fight for the red, what and blue
He was 19 and green with a new M-16
Just doing what he had to do
He was dropped in the jungle where the choppers would rumble
With the smell of napalm in the air
And the sergant said...look up ahead
Like a dark evil cloud, 1,200 came down on him and 29 more
They fought for their lives but most of them died in the 173rd Airborne

[Chorus:]

On the 8th of November the angels were crying
As they carried his brothers away
With the fire raining down and the hell all around
There were few men left standing that day
Saw the eagle fly through a clear blue sky
1965, the 8th of November

Now he's 58 and his pony tail's gray
But the battle still plays in his head
He limps when he walks but he's strong when he talks
About the Shrapnel they left in his leg
He puts on a gray suit over his Airborne tattoo
And he ties it on one time a year
And remebers that fallen as he orders a tall one
And swallows it down with tears

[Chorus]

Saw the eagle fly through a clear blue sky
1965...
On the 8th of November the angels were crying
As they carried his brother away
With the fire raining down and the hell all around
THere were few men left standing that day

[Chorus]

Said goodbye to his momma as he left South Dakota
TO fight for the red, white and blue
He was nineteen and green with a new M-16

I see your momma and the candles
and the tears and roses
I see your daddy walk his daughter down the aisle
I feel my knees start to tremble as I tell the preacher
Don't she look beautiful tonight

All the wonderful words in my head I've been thinkin'
You know I wanna say them all just right
I lift your veil and angels start singin'
Such a heavenly sight

[Chorus:]
Lost in this moment with you
I am completely consumed
By feeling so absolute
there's no doubt
Sealing our love with a kiss
Waiting my whole life for this
Watching all my dreams come true
Lost in this moment with you

I smell the jasmine floatin' in the air like a love song
Watch my words draw sweet tears from your eyes
We bow our heads while the preacher talks to Jesus
Please bless this brand new life

[Chorus:]
Lost in this moment with you
I am completely consumed
By feeling so absolute
there's no doubt
Sealing our love with a kiss
Waiting my whole life for this
Watching all my dreams come true
Lost in this moment with you

[Chorus:]
Lost in this moment with you
I am completely consumed
By feeling so absolute
there's no doubt
Sealing our love with a kiss
Waiting my whole life for this
Watching all my dreams come true
Lost in this moment with you

I was raised by the good book
learned to work hard every day
Thought that if you can't say something good
there's nothing good to say
And I caught on pretty early it's no use to work
no harder than you play
So I guess that's how I ended up this way

[Chorus:]
Somewhere between raising hell and amazing grace
Is a place I keep finding myself
Yeah I get a little crazy trying to have a little fun
Then I end up back where I started from
Down on my knees, I pray
Oh Lord let me see another day
Somewhere between raising hell and amazing grace

Well I give everything I got, try to give more than I take
For Heaven's sake I keep on smiling
no matter what comes my way
And I may be passin' out on Friday night
But come Sunday I'll be passing the collection plate

[Chorus:]
Somewhere between raising hell and amazing grace
Is a place I keep finding myself
Yeah I get a little crazy trying to have a little fun
Then I end up back where I started from
Down on my knees, I pray
Oh Lord let me see another day
Somewhere between raising hell and amazing grace

Yeah I know I'm a sinner, but I've got faith
Oh my good side is what he's gonna see
When I'm standing at them Pearly Gates
He'll have nothing but mercy for me

[Chorus:]
Somewhere between raising hell and amazing grace
Is a place I keep finding myself
Yeah I get a little crazy trying to have a little fun
Then I end up back where I started from
Down on my knees, I pray
Oh Lord let me see another day
Somewhere between raising hell and amazing grace

Loosen up, shout it out, everybody in the house
Stomp your feet, clap your hands, come on, kick it with the band
We're all about tradition, we don't mind the twang
We got just one condition now

We like it loud, we like it honking
The party won't be revving 'til we crank it to eleven
Get it rocking, our boots are knocking
We're gonna say it proud, we love our country and we like it loud

Calling all the cowboys, don't be scared to make some noise
You think you're bad, think you're strong, come on, people, bring it on
Calling all you sexy mamas, all the girls next door
Don't say we didn't warn you, baby

We like it loud, we like it honking
The party won't be revving 'til we crank it to eleven
Get it rocking, our boots are knocking
We're gonna say it proud, we love our country and we like it loud

From out in California, New York to Tennessee
Come on if you with us, let us hear you scream
Like it loud, we like it loud
We like it loud, we like it, we like it

We like it loud, we like it honking
The party won't be revving 'til we crank it to eleven
Get it rocking, our boots are knocking
We're gonna say it proud, we love our country and we like it loud
We love our country and we like it loud

Well I got a girlfriend, her name is Maria
Sexy, spicy hot senorita
She like to two-step, she like to mambo
Heats it up like a Texas jalapeno
Whoo
Jalapeno Man
Whoo
Well I get so hot everytime I kiss her
Spin me around like an Amarillo twister
So I take her fore a ride in my El Camino
You know I like my ladies hot - like Jalapeno
Whoo
Jalapeno brother
Whoo
Say everybody wanna heat it up, wanna eat it up
Wanna sing along with me, Big and Rich is where the party be
Say everybody wanna heat it up, wanna eat it up
Wanna sing along with me Big and Rich is where the party, where the party be!
Well my baby lets the tequila do the talkin'
Long as she knows that everybody's watchin
Shakin' that thing like a wild bandito
You know she burns the whole place up like jalapeno
Whoo
Jalapeno man
Whoo
Jalapeno whoo

Well I walked up to the bar
I laid down my platinum card
Then I ordered fifty longnecks for my new friends
Well the barmaid passed them out
And before we chugged them down
I held mine up and
Said here's to us and then
Well this blonde slid up to me
Said that was awful sweet
Then I saw her boyfriend
As wide as he was tall
Well he broke up our hug
With a six foot, five inch shove
And I found myself slammed up
Against the wall

Why does everybody want
To kick my ass
I'm just trying to have a little fun
For all the ones who can't
And just because I kiss the prettiest girls
And I drive my truck to fast
Why does everybody want
To kick my ass

Well I've never been the type
To walk up and pick a fight
I've always been the kind to get along
I throw parties all the time
And there always on my dime
We drink and dance and smoke until the dawn
Well my style of stress relief
Sometimes disturbs the peace
The police show up
And cut donuts in my yard
And while the Zeppelin's playing loud
They run off my party crowd
They cuff up my wrist
And throw me down so hard

Why does everybody want
To kick my ass
I'm just truing to have a little fun
For all the ones who can't
And just because I kiss the prettiest girls
And I drive my truck to fast
Why does everybody want
To kick my ass

And just because I kiss the prettiest girls
And I drive my truck to fast
Why does everybody want
