Craig Morgan Album

You can't forget what love was wearing
When it walked out your front door
Where you fell down to your knees
And can't forget the kind of suitcase
That was packed out on the sidewalk
While you cried there beggin' please
But love remembers

You can lie and tell yourself
You're over it and someone else will take love's place
And this is for the best
You can lie in that bed
In a stranger's arms reachin' for comfort
Close your eyes and still get no rest

Cause love remembers
The smell of a summer day
Lying in a hammock over fresh cut grass
And the promise of forever
Yeah love remembers
The sound of the pouring rain
Beatin' down on the top of a car
On the side of the road
Where it couldn't wait
Yeah love remembers

You might convince yourself
There's shelter in a bottle
For a while there it might numb the pain
But when it hits you, then it hits you
That love's sthill gone and you'll be wishin'
That you'd poured it down the drain
'Cause love remembers

The taste of cotton candy lip gloss
On the lips of a long kiss
And the plans they made together
Yeah love remembers
To feel the fingertips
Running through soaking wet hair
On the bank after a midnight swim
Yeah love remembers

guitar solo

Yeah love remembers
The smell of a summer day
Lying in a hammock over fresh cut grass
And the promise of forever
Love remembers
The sound of the pouring rain
Beatin' down on the top of a car
On the side of the road
Where it couldn't wait
Yeah love remembers

Love remembers
(Love remembers)
(The sound of the pouring rain)
Beatin' down on the top of a car
(On the side of the road)
(Where it couldn't wait)

We met when I was stationed at Fort Campbell
Got married in the front yard at your dad's
I played guitar and sang my songs down at the hatchery
Then one day, we settled down to what we had

We made a picture perfect life together
Got memories in our head, in every room
One day we'll be too old to do what we used to do
But I look forward to lookin' back with you

When we're sittin' on our front porch
In our cracker barrel rockers
And we don't long to dye the gray out of our hair
We'll sit and laugh, and talk about
All the things that we went through
Yeah, I look forward to looking back with you

I can't believe Ally's already driving
And Kyle rides with her to their high school
It won't be long until they both gone off to college
Baby, I look forward to lookin' back with you

When my new truck is my old truck
And I take off these big old tires
And it's our turn to slow down traffic everywhere
We'll spend our winters in a motor home
Parked down in Cancun
Yeah, I look forward to lookin' back with you

Oh, and if our Maker comes and takes me
And leaves you here alone
Don't be sad because I'm not that far away
Once again, hand in hand we'll walk
The far side of the moon
I look forward to lookin' back with you
Oh baby, I look forward to lookin' back with you

My alarm goes off early, Can't afford to be late. If I don't get a move on then i won't get paid. So i throw back those covers and get my butt out of bed. Its still dark when im leavin' so i let my lady sleep. I know her and them babies are countin on me To put food on the table and keep this roof over our head.

Yeah, that's why i get crakin' in the mornin' fight all that traffic on I-40 punch a clock at a job for a boss that i don't like yeah that's why i keep swingin' that hammer fight for each step i take on that ladder break my back for a slice of that American pie that's why.

Well, I wear a hard hat, steel-toed boots, and and leather gloves and my office is the front seat of a four-door truck decorated with crayon drawn pictures all taped to the dash and our junior pro football starts here in July there'll be shoulder pads, jerseys, and new cleats to buy and my wifes had her eye on some earrings i'd sure like her to have yeah i would..


But, that's why i get crakin' in the mornin' fight all that traffic on I-40 punch a clock at a job for a boss that i don't like yeah that's why i keep swingin' that hammer fight for each step i take on that ladder break my back for a slice of that American pie that's why.

They want cell phones, laptops, ballet shoes, and dresses Xbox, Ipods and rock'n'roll drum lessons

But, that's why i get crakin' in the mornin' fight all that traffic on I-40 punch a clock at a job for a boss that i don't like yeah that's why i keep swingin' that hammer fight for each step i take on that ladder break my back for a slice of that American pie that's why.

Yeah that's why

I was raised in the sticks
That's where I get my kicks
Tailgatin' with my buddies
Boots and dog and tires all muddy

Cold drinks chillin' in the creek
Gods green earth for my sink
I feel at home around a crowd of hicks

If you're on your feet before the sun comes up
And out there in your truck
Makin' hay rain or shine
Break a sweat before day light

Kind that ain't afraid of work
Elbow grease and good clean dirt
Taste of whiskey made from corn
You save your Sundays for the Lord
It's a good chance you were born and

Raised in the sticks
That's where you get your kicks
Tailgatin' with your buddies
Boots and dog and tires all muddy

Cold drinks chillin' in the creek
Gods green earth for your sink
You feel at home around a crowd of hicks
That were raised in the sticks

How 'bout them girls in baseball caps
Ponytails goin though the back
T-shirts tied up in a knot
Holey jeans and old flip flops

Bet they know some fishin' holes
They sure cut down some old dirt roads
How to lock and load a gun
She'll shoot you straight, believe me son
I'm so glad I found me one

Raised in the sticks
And that's where they get their kicks
Tailgatin' with their buddies
Boots and dog and tires all muddy

Cold drinks chillin' in the creek
Gods green earth for your sink
You feel at home around a crowd of hicks
That were raised in the sticks

Tailgatin' with their buddies
Boots and dogs and tires all muddy

Cold drinks chillin' in the creek
Gods green earth for the sink
They feel at home around a crowd of hicks
That were raised in the sticks
Yeah, we're raised in the sticks

There's been times I've let my faith run thin
Not been the man I should have been
After all the trouble I've been in
I'da gave up on me

I've lived hard and I've lived fast
Lost things I never will get back
'Cause someone to look past all of that
God must really love me

When I look at the miracles around me
At the way that I live and the way He forgives
I know He's up there, smiling down on me
And I believe the only reason why I'm still alive
Is God must really love me

Wake up and feel you by my side
The perfect girl, the perfect time
And see the way our future shines
God must really love me

When I look at the miracles around me
At the dream that I live and the gift that he gives
I know he's up there, smiling down on me
And I believe the only reason why I get to live this life
Is God must really love me

When I showed the worst, He saw the best
He pulled the world right off my chest
Every day I wake up I feel blessed, yeah, I feel so blessed
God must really love me, God must really love me
God must really love me

There's a picture of a covered bridge
With water running under it
Flowing through my mind, takes me back in time

After haulin' hay all day
We'd stop by there and drop a tailgate
And take a dip to cool off a bit

Blue sky would turn to red off in the west
We'd tear into a full igloo of Old Milwaukee's Best

On a summer sundown, same old young crowd
Jeans and tank tops, bikinis, flip flops
And blankets on the ground

My girl in my arms, sippin' on Boone's Farm, yeah
It seemed to take forever for the world to turn halfway around
Days were long and we were waitin' on a summer sundown

We'd park our pick ups on the bank
Build a bon fire and we'd crank our radios
Loud as they would go

Now and then, it never failed
Old man Baker'd start raisin' hell
About us being there, ah, but we didn't care

If he called the law the fun would end
But everybody knew in a day or two
We'd all be back again

On a summer sundown, same old young crowd
Jeans and tank tops, bikinis, flip flops
And blankets on the ground

My girl in my arms, sippin' on Boone's Farm, yeah
It seemed to take forever for the world to turn halfway around
Days were long and we were waitin' on a summer sundown

Same old young crowd
Jeans and tank tops, bikinis, flip flops
And blankets on the ground

My girl in my arms, sippin' on Boone's Farm
It seemed to take forever for the world to turn halfway around
Days were long and we were waitin' on a summer sundown

That secondhand junkyard heap
Was freedom with two bucket seats
With two grand on the windshield in shoe polish

I had a stash of summer cash
From cleanin' pools and cuttin' grass
Gave the man that coffee can and I bought it

From the moment that I turned the key
My right foot was heavy
From a mile away folks could hear me
Leanin' on that Chevy

Slidin' sideways through the town square
Peelin' out, Bruce Springsteen turned up too loud
Playin' air guitar, drummin' on the dash
Only brakin' for the badge

Had the man in blue burnin' through
Tickets by the pound
Yeah, I paid for every red light
In my hometown

I still remember Jessie Lynn
Her sweet perfume and her poured in
Those faded jeans that always fit just right

Steamin' windows up on the riverbank
Had to get that V-8 cranked
To have her on the front porch by midnight

Catchin' air on railroad tracks
Detroit horses breathin'
Peelin' paint off of city hall
Fuzz buster screamin'

Slidin' sideways through the town square
Peelin' out Lynyrd Skynyrd turned up too loud
Playin' air guitar, drummin' on the dash
Only brakin' for the badge

Had the man in blue burnin' through
Tickets by the pound
Yeah, I paid for every red light
In my hometown

I burned up a hundred tires
Turnin' blacktop into gravel
Wore out my daddy's patience
And the judge's gavel

Slidin' sideways through the town square
Peelin' out, I can't drive 55 [Incomprehensible]
Playin' air guitar, drummin' on the dash
Only brakin' for the badge

Had the man in blue burnin' through
Tickets by the pound
Yeah, I paid for every red light
In my hometown

It took a bully riding my back to make me mad enough to fight
And a summer with my granddad to find out what hard work's like
It took that football coach in high school to make me tougher than the rest
That first beer with my daddy to put that first hair on my chest

It took a heart to heart with Jesus
To bring me to my knees
But it took a woman to make a man out of me

It took a pair of soft blue eyes
And a smile so sweet to make me reach up high and really dig down deep
She made me so much more than who I used to be
It took a woman to make a man out of me

It took the first year we were dating and hanging too much with the boys
For her to give an ultimatum for me to have to make a choice
It took that want add in the paper to sell that '68 Firebird
Buy that diamond ring I gave her and rent out that little church

It took the day my baby girl was born
To make a tear roll down my cheek
But it took a woman to make a man out of me

It took a pair of soft blue eyes
And a smile so sweet to make me reach up high and really dig down deep
She made me so much more than who I used to be
It took a woman to make a man out of me

She made me so much more than who I used to be
It took a woman, oh it took a woman to make a man out of me

There's a place I go where love grows wild
Forever seems to go for miles
Even when it rains, the sun is shining

Dark woods always in full bloom
On my tip toes I can touch the moon
I'm out of [Incomprehensible] clouds with silver lining
It's like no place on earth

It's bluer skies and greener grass
A little off the beaten path
I see your smile and I hear your laugh
And I'm lost in a world

Where colors shine in brighter shades
My favorite song is always playin'
The center of my universe
Planet her

It's the ocean when the sun comes up
Or when those candy sweets that brush
It's honey suckle wines and chocolate candy

It's a shot gun ride on angels wings
Waking up in a perfect dream
It's anytime and all the time when she's around me
I'm in a brand new world

With bluer skies and greener grass
A little off the beaten path
I see your smile and I hear your laugh
And I'm lost in a world

Where colors shine in brighter shades
My favorite song is always playin'
The center of my universe
Planet her

It shines like a star
It's a [Incomprehensible]
It's anywhere we are

It's bluer skies and greener grass
A little off the beaten path
I see your smile and I hear your laugh
And I'm lost in a world

Where colors shine in brighter shades
My favorite song is always playin'
The center of my universe
Planet her

Seems like almost everyday
Trouble carries us away
And sometimes when we hurt
We all need to be saved

Every time I'm in too deep
Someone always rescues me
It's like heaven's sending down
The help that I need

Life like a chain
Sometimes it breaks
We all need a hand
When we fall from grace

It could be someone walking down the street
A stranger on a bus
A little kid on his way to school
Or any one of us

We all got a little superman, ready to take flight
And save a life, oh, save a life
Take a look around and you'll see
Ordinary angels

The world can make you feel so small
Steal your dreams and make you crawl
And break you till you got
You got nothing at all

When you're in that dark place
And you need that embrace
You know love is never too far away

It could be a waitress at coffee shop
You never saw before
A soldier that's just coming home
From fighting in the war

We all got a little superman, ready to take flight
And save a life, oh, save a life
Take a look around and you'll see
Ordinary angels

It could be someone walking down the street
A stranger on a bus
A little kid on his way to school
Or any one of us

We all got a little superman, ready to take flight
And save a life, oh, save a life
Take a look around, you'll see
Ordinary angels, ordinary angels
