Made in America Lyrics
Made in America Words and Music by Tracy Lawrence, Adam Sanders and Rick Huckaby © 2019 Eggsucking Dog Music (ASCAP) (administered by ClearBox Rights), Adam Sanders Music (ASCAP) and Dean’s Cabin Publishing (BMI) It’s the first assembly line making that Detroit steel It’s asphalt streets, rows in the fields It’s a loving hand out when somebody gets down on their luck It’s Friday night lights, 4th and goal touchdown It’s a walk off homer hearing the roar of the crowd It’s that go a little deeper, when that going gets tough Made in America CHORUS It’s who we are, it’s what we love, it’s what we do It’s a heart full of pride, stars and stripes, red, white and blue It’s standing your ground, not backing down and never giving up Made in America It comes from hard working hands and backs that don’t break Roots that run deep from all 50 states It comes from the freedom that’s born in every single one of us CHORUS It’s who we are, it’s what we love, it’s what we do For the ones who died, for stars and stripes, red white and blue It’s standing your ground, not backing down and never giving up Made in America It’s Made in America Made in America

Forgive Yourself Lyrics
Forgive Yourself Words and Music by Tracy Lawrence and Rick Huckaby © 2019 Eggsucking Dog Music (ASCAP) (administered by ClearBox Rights) and Dean’s Cabin Publishing (BMI) You say it’s over You’ve had enough Tired of ridin’ round in a broke down truck That lovin’ feeling’s all but gone I think it’s probably time that we both moved on Don’t apologize for how we got here Baby dry those crocodile tears CHORUS Go on and forgive yourself Lay all your drama onto someone else Take all your sorrys, drop ‘em deep in a well Go on and forgive yourself It’ll be fine Don’t be sad Gonna cherish all the good times we’ve had Forget the bitter And take the sweet But when you tell your friends, blame it all on me Remember when you leave baby don’t look back Forgive yourself Jesus already has CHORUS Don’t apologize for how we got here Baby dry those crocodile tears CHORUS X2

CHORUS Who’s gonna ride in and save the day? Who’s gonna throw that big John Wayne, Right hook when it looks like everything’s gone to hell? Tell me who What we need is more walk than talk in the windshield not the rear view Like some long lost song ‘Cause this world’s in trouble when the cowboy’s gone There’s always gonna be a fast horse Saddled cinched up tight and ready to go There’s always gonna be a stiff drink Waiting in a town on down the road When the dust cloud settles, can you tell me who’s gonna stand up? CHORUS When all hope is lost and right’s just another word CHORUS When the cowboy’s gone When the cowboy’s gone

First Step to Leaving Words and Music by Tracy Lawrence, Rick Huckaby and Mark Nesler © 2019 Eggsucking Dog Music (ASCAP) (administered by ClearBox Rights), Comite River Music (BMI) and Block of Marble Music/Rizer Point Publishing (BMI) Son, you could never rope the wind Or stop the tide from rollin’ in Or goin’ out Just like you can’t find the words to say To change her mind and make her wanna stay Right now CHORUS When she takes that first step to leavin’ It’s a winding road that never ends Until she finds the road to healin’ That brings her back to you again Wild horses couldn’t hold her, son It ain’t you she’s runnin from You gotta let her go No, I can’t tell you what she’ll do Even if you’re walking in her shoes It’s hard to know CHORUS When the voice of reason says just walk away The heart’s gonna beg for one more day CHORUS Until she finds the road to healin’ That brings her back to you again

(BMI) You say I drink too much And you hate my old truck And my friends are out of touch with reality You say you hate my dog And I live in a fog Well it all seems really clear to me CHORUS Well I’m out of here but baby it ain’t you Don’t blame yourself, you did all you could do I need to find someone to love be damned if I know who Toodeloo Baby it ain’t you You’re gettin’ mad when I’ve been gone You hate when I stay home Even when I’m right, I’m wrong There’s always hell to pay Hell you’re always on my case Your momma hates my face Well to you I’m just a waste of DNA CHORUS Now don’t feel so bad you gave it your best shot But I can’t be somebody that I’m not CHORUS

Givin’ Momma Reasons to Pray Words and Music by Shawn Camp and Chris Stapleton © 2008 Shawn Camp Music (BMI) and House of SeaGayle Music (ASCAP), (admin by ClearBox Rights) /WB Music Corp./Spirit Two Nashville (ASCAP) I hit the road outta high school With a guitar in my hand I fell in love with the sound of a Honky Tonk band Daddy looked me in the eye, said, “Son, you’re gonna throw your life away. You’re just Givin’ momma reasons to pray.” I fell in love with a barmaid I guess you live and learn Oh how I felt the whiskey burn And all the while I was thinkin’ This ain’t how I was raised But I kept Givin’ momma reasons to pray CHORUS Momma always believed in me She knew the kind of man that I could be But every time I’d get on track The devil made me stray And I’d be Givin’ momma reasons to pray I held my momma’s dyin’ hand On a Tuesday afternoon It was the coldest day that we ever had in June She pulled me close and she whispered The last thing I heard her say Was, “Son stop Givin’ momma reasons to pray” CHORUS Oh I’m not Givin’ momma reasons to pray

Chicken Wire Lyrics
Chicken Wire Words and Music by Rick Huckaby and Monty Criswell © 2019 13th Avenue Music(BMI), Headcoach Music (BMI) I-40 Music (BMI) (administered by ClearBox Rights) and Sony/ATV Tree Publishing (BMI) Five guys crammed in a Chevy van Digging change out of the seats to buy some gas One more slug it out roadhouse gig Looking back sometimes I miss CHORUS The chicken wire Bottles breaking while the Fenders fire Beer dripping off the amplifiers Howl and scream, playing while your fingers bleed Paying dues and doing time Behind the chicken wire Running high on life and hungry Playing like we needed the money ’cause we did Had a ball getting black-balled from a motel or two Pretty girls passing phone numbers through CHORUS Pink underwear, folding chairs and one cue ball Lit cigarettes, dead presidents, man I’ve seen it all Thrown at CHORUS Stitched up, handcuffed by the boys in blue Duct tape, momma’s prayers and a bad attitude Sleeping in the parking lot of the Waffle House Hey baby catch you next time we’re in town Behind the chicken wire Salt shakers, money makers, everything Thrown at the chicken wire

Just The South Coming Out Words and Music by Rick Huckaby and Wade Kirby © 2019 13th Avenue Music (BMI), I-40 Music (BMI) (administered by ClearBox Rights) and Round Hill Works (BMI) I don’t get above my raisin’ Or bite off more than I can chew Say much obliged and yeah I reckon Use phrases like I’m fixin’ to I’m partial to the Allman Brothers Sawmill gravy, Spanish moss Sometimes people call me backward Guess it’s just the way I talk CHORUS Hey y’all Yes ma’am Can’t change who I am Ain’t nothin’ I can do about it now Mighty fine Pretty please Momma pass the black-eyed peas When you hear that roll out of my mouth That’s just the South Comin’ out I think rock and roll was born in Memphis I like anything that’s fried When it’s all over I’ll be restin’ Below that Mason-Dixon line But I ain’t in a real big hurry I like to take it nice and slow So pardon me when I say howdy That’s just how I say hello Ain’t no point in tryin’ to hold it in No matter where I go I bring a piece of where I’ve been

Stay Back A Hundred Feet Words and Music by Rick Huckaby and Money Criswell © 2019 13th Avenue Music (BMI), Headcoach Music (BMI) I-40 Music (BMI) (administered by ClearBox Rights) and Sony/ATV Tree Publishing (BMI) I was built for hauling ‘round a restless soul Blind faith is gasoline to me A steering wheel is what these hands were meant to hold Even though you’re smoking in those jeans I might accidentally crack the windshield of your dreams CHORUS I got a tandem axle load of crazy Reckless falling off of me as I go down life’s highway Something might get broke if you get too close to me Stay back a hundred feet The way your whispered words keep on falling You sure make it hard to walk away But baby you’re so shined up and polished I’d sure hate to mess up anything Better take your lead foot and slam it on the brakes ‘Cause... CHORUS Don’t wanna put a crack in the windshield of your dreams CHORUS X2
