Being Alive And Livin' lyrics - Craig Morgan

Come on boys

I ain’t a guy to just kick back
And watch bikes race around the track
I’m white knuckled to the handle bars with both my hands
No I ain’t one to just stand around
While a parachute falls to the ground
I gotta be hanging underneath it when it lands
I’m not a wonder what it feels like kinda man

I wanna ski the deepest Colorado snow
Feel the heat off a live volcano
Hangin’ off the edge is my kind of chillin’
I wanna run with the bulls through the streets of Spain
Dance with my baby in the thunder and rain
Do everything I can with the days I’m given
There’s a difference between being alive and livin’

I got this daredevil rebel gene
That pushes me a little past extreme
I’ve felt it ever since I was a little kid
I ain’t gonna get to my rockin’ chair
Scratchin’ a head full of silver hair
And look back on a bunch of things I wished I did
I’m gonna meet my maker with an empty bucket list

I wanna ski the deepest Colorado snow
Feel the heat off a live volcano
Hangin’ off the edge is my kind of chillin’
I wanna run with the bulls through the streets of Spain
Dance with my baby in the thunder and rain
Do everything I can with the days I’m given
There’s a difference between being alive and livin’
[x2]

Oh Lord I’m livin’

Fish Weren't Bitin' lyrics - Craig Morgan

My baby’d been wishing
That I’d take her fishing
So we waited on the perfect day
Hitched up my old john boat
To see if it would still float
Should’ve seen the smile on her face
I found a little cove, dropped the lines, to try our luck
Before too long she said it’s starting to heat up

So she took off her shirt
Said I’ll get a little sun
Handed me the Coppertone
Man I had me some fun
I rubbed it in real good, and I didn’t miss a spot
And I got to see that little pink bikini top
Cause the fish weren’t bitin’

She said I’ll lay out a little
But if we get a nibble
I want to be the one to reel him in
I said “baby you got it”
We’ll tell ‘em all you caught it
But you’re getting some red there on your skin
So I rubbed her down again, she said baby that feels nice
Won’t you lay right here beside me, she didn’t have to ask me twice

I kissed her lips
As the sun went down
We lost track of time
As we floated around
That john boat rocked out there in the dark
She still claims I stole her heart
Cause the fish weren’t bitin’

We still laugh about that little fishing trip we took
To this day, she don’t know, I didn’t bait the hook

You know I love to catch ‘em, but brother I won’t lie
I had the best day of my life
Cause the fish weren’t bitin’
No the fish weren’t bitin’

Better Stories lyrics - Craig Morgan

If you never hit a cow at 3 a.m.
In a borrowed Oldsmobile
Played cards all night in the county jail
With the one arm man name Phil

If you never counted ball off the fifth floor rail
And do a bull at the Holiday Inn
'Cause it was Panama City, you were drunk and she was pretty
The paramedics gave you a prefect ten

And when we're old and rocking on the porch
Re-living all our glory
You might have a few less scars
But I'll have better stories

If you never been bitten by a snake in a church
While you sang "Amazing Grace"
If you never had to bribe a border guard
To overlook that one suitcase

If you never hustle pool in a biker bar
And had an eight ball break your nose
Then hit the first Harley with the front of your truck
Just to watch them all fall like dominoes

When we're old and rocking on the porch
Re-living all our glory
You might have a few less scars
But I'll have better stories

If you never been banned from a Taco Bell
If you didn't fry your nest's egg
If you never had a doctor say "what the hell?"
As a little mad nurse climbed out of your bed

When we're old and rocking on the porch
Re-living all our glory
You might have a few less scars
But I'll have better stories

You might have both brain cells left
But I'll have better stories

I don't even know where half these scars came from
Somebody remembers though I can't, do you?
I know this one right here was from that jump across that car
On that bicycle, you dared me, I did it
Girls do love scars

I Didn't Drink lyrics - Craig Morgan

I never felt this kind of pain before
I never fought this kind of war before
I never set foot inside this bar before tonight

Bartender said, “Hey, how you doin’ man?
Are you payin’ cash, do you wanna start a tab?”
He laid down a napkin then he said, “What’ll you have tonight?
We’re half price til nine.”

Should I order beer or wine or rum or whiskey
Vodka, tequila, yeah what’s gonna get me
Peace of mind and a good night’s sleep
Give me a double shot on the rocks
Of the strongest help me out you got
I really don’t know, so pour me what you think
‘Cause until tonight I didn’t drink

She was my life, my love, my everything
She was my heart, my soul, my reason to breathe
Damn that cancer that came and took her away from me
Left me in misery

Should I order beer or wine or rum or whiskey
Vodka, tequila, yeah what’s gonna get me
Peace of mind and a good night’s sleep
Give me a double shot on the rocks
Of the strongest help me out you got
I really don’t know, so pour me what you think
‘Cause until tonight, yeah before tonight,
Until tonight I didn’t drink

Corn Star lyrics - Craig Morgan

Well she's not the kind a girl
You'd meet on the corner
Of Hollywood and vine
But you might bump into her
On aisle 21 at the farmers
Feed and supply

With a bag of seed on her suntan
Shoulder cut off jeans and a tight
Tank top with a john Deere mower on it
Make you wish you were ridin on it

No you won't see her on the cover
Of playboy magazine
Oh she's too busy getting dirty
In a field of green

[CHORUS]
She's a corn star
Talk of the crop at every county fair
Corn star
Blue ribbon winner for the last 5 years
They cut a four lane highway
right throuh her pasture
Blamed it on progress
And movin traffic faster
But every body knows the only
Reason for the road was to see her
Jug a luggin on the top of that tractor
She's a corn star

You'd swear you'd seen her in a red bikini
On a bay watch episode
But I'm telling you straight that 600 acres
Is the only life that she knows

There gossip in town flying around
She was sunset stripping for tips in l a
But that's just a bunch of bean growers
Talking to bean loaders
What would they know about a

[REPEAT CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
Oh shes agriculture monthly's reigning queen
Coast to coast every country boys dream

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Summer Moon lyrics - Craig Morgan

I remember like it was yesterday those hot nights
Fireflies, candy apple kiss at the county fair
A little backwoods detour on the long way home
To be alone, honeysuckle sweetened up the midnight air

And that summer moon
Shinin’ like sunlight
Bouncin’ off your eyes
And lightin’ up mine
Just me and you
Pullin’ off on a back road
Blanket and a radio and that summer moon

Two young lovers cuddled up on a dropped tailgate
Half past late, couple Dixie cups, filled up to the brim
Footpath through the tall, white pines down to yellow creek
Neck deep, and wet clothes drip-drying on a willow limb

And that summer moon
Shinin’ like sunlight
Bouncin’ off your eyes
And lightin’ up mine
Just me and you
Pullin’ off on a back road
Blanket and a radio and that summer moon

I told your daddy we ran outta gas
He winked at me and kinda laughed
And said don’t you know that I tried that
On her mama’s dad way back when

That summer moon
Was shinin’ like sunlight
Bouncin’ off your eyes
And lightin’ up mine
Just like you
We pulled off on a back road
Blanket and a radio

And that summer moon
Shinin’ like sunlight
Bouncin’ off your eyes
And lightin’ up mine
Just me and you
Pullin’ off on a back road
Blanket and a radio and that summer moon

Ooh, I love that summer moon

"That's Why" (2008)

Love Remembers lyrics - Craig Morgan

You can forget what love was wearing
When it walked out your front door
Where you fell down to your knees
And you can 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
And for a while there it might numb the pain
But when it hits you, then it hits you
That love's still 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 soakin' 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)

Lookin' Back With You lyrics - Craig Morgan

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 Hatry,
Then one day we settled down to what we have,
We made a picture perfect life together,
Got memories in our head and 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 pair of rockers,
And we no longer dye the gray out of our hair,
Sit and laugh and talk about all the things that we went through,
I look forward to lookin' back with you.

I can't believe Ali's already drivin'
And Kyle rides with her to their high school,
It wont be long until they've 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 ol' tyres,
And it's out turn to slow down traffic everywhere,
Spend our winters in a motorhome parked down in Cancun,
Yea I look forward to lookin' back with you.

Oooh if our maker calls 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.

That's Why lyrics - Craig Morgan

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

Sticks lyrics - Craig Morgan

[Chorus:]
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,
God's green earth for my seat,
I Feel at home around a crowd of hicks

[Verse 1:]
If you're on your feet before the sun comes up,
And out there in your trucks,
Makin' hay rain or shine,
Break a sweat before daylight
The kind that ain't afraid of work,
Elbow grease and good clean dirt,
Taste your whiskey made from corn,
But save your Sunday's for the Lord,
It's a good chance you were born and...

[Chorus:]
Raised in the sticks,
That's where you get my kicks,
Tailgatin' with their buddies,
Boots and dog and tires all muddy,
Cold drinks chillin' in the creek,
God's green earth for your seat,
You Feel at home around a crowd of hicks,
That were raised in the sticks

[Verse 2:]
How bout them girls in baseball caps,
Ponytails pulled through the back,
T-shirts tied up in a knot,
Holy jeans and old flip flops,
But they know some fishing holes,
Sure cut down some old dirt roads,
How to lock and load a gun,
She shoots you straight believe me son,
I'm so glad I found me one

[Chorus:]
Raised in the sticks,
That's where they get my kicks,
Tailgatin' with their buddies,
Boots and dogs and tires all muddy,
Cold drinks chillin' in the creek,
God's green earth for their seat,
They 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,
God's green earth for their seat,
They feel at home around a crowd of hicks,
That were raised in the sticks,

Ya, we're raised in the sticks

God Must Really Love Me lyrics - Craig Morgan

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 will never 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

Summer Sundown lyrics - Craig Morgan

[1st Verse:]
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

[Chorus:]
On a summer sundown, same old young crowd,
Jeeps and tanktops, 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.

[2nd Verse:]
We'd park our pick-ups on the bank,
build a bon-fire, and we'd crank our stereos,
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.

[Chorus:]
On a summer sundown, same old young crowd,
Jeeps and tanktops, 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,
Jeeps and tanktops, 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.

Every Red Light lyrics - Craig Morgan

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 Woman lyrics - Craig Morgan

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
