EP: Enlisted (2023)












Raise The Bar lyrics - Craig Morgan & Luke Combs

A cold beer is what we came in here for
One or two or maybe more
I guess we were gettin' just a little too loud
For this wine and cheese crowd
They stared like we were from outer space
Don't care, it's written all over our face
Now we're on a mission
We don't need permission

We're here to raise the bar, give the place some working class
Drink a toast and raise our glass
To the ones you know who go over the top
And then take it up a notch
We're wearing our names on the front of our shirt
Stained with a little blue collar dirt
These holes in the soles of our boots say who we are
Yeah, we're here to raise the bar

Now, at first, they didn't say too much
They really didn't know what to think of us
So we broke out in an old drinkin' song
Before you know it, they were singin' along

We're here to raise the bar, give the place some working class
Drink a toast and raise our glass
To the ones you know who go over the top
And then take it up a notch
We're wearing our names on the front of our shirt
Stained with a little blue collar dirt
These holes in the soles of our boots say who we are
Yeah, we're here to raise the bar

Pour another round of shots
Pour 'em 'til we're dancin' on the tabletops
Pour 'til they give last call
'Cause after all

We're here to raise the bar and give the place some working class
Drink a toast and raise our glass
To the ones you know who go over the top
And then take it up a notch
We're wearing our names on the front of our shirt
Stained with a little blue collar dirt
These holes in the soles of our boots say who we are
Yeah, you might think that we're takin' this a little too far
But we're here to raise the bar
(Yeah, we're here to raise the bar)

Almost Home (Remix) lyrics - Craig Morgan & Jelly Roll

He had plastic bags wrapped 'round his shoes
He was covered with the evening news
Had a pair of old wool socks on his hands
The bank sign was flashing 5 below
It was freezing rain and spittin' snow
He was curled up behind some garbage cans
I was afraid that he was dead
I gave him a gentle shake
When he opened up his eyes
I said, "Old man are you ok?"

What he said Jelly,"I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runnin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home"

He said "I was just comin' round the barn
'Bout the time you grabbed my arm
When I heard Momma holler, "Son hurry up"
I was close enough for my old nose
To smell fresh cobbler on the stove
And I saw daddy loadin' up the truck
Cane poles on the tailgate
Bobbers blowin' in the wind
Since July of '55
That's as close as I've been"

I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runnin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home

I said,"Old man you're gonna freeze to death
Let me drive you to the mission"
He said,"Boy if you'd left me alone
Right now I'd be fishin'"

I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runnin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home

I was almost home

Man I wish you'd just left me alone
Cause I was almost home

Redneck Yacht Club (Remix) lyrics - Craig Morgan & Blake Shelton

I'm meetin' my buddies out on the lake
We're headed out to a special place we love
That just a few folks know
Theres no signin' up and no monthly dues
Take your Johnson, your Mercury, or your Evinrude and fire it up
And meet us out at party cove
Come on in the waters fine
Just idle on over and toss us a line

Bass trackers, bayliners, and a party barge
Strung together like a floatin' trailer park
Anchored out and gettin' loud all summer long!
Side by side there's five houseboat front porches
Astro turf, lawn chairs, and tiki torches
Regular joes rockin the boat, that's us!

The Redneck Yacht Club

Bermudas flip flops and a tank top tan
He popped his first top at ten A.M. thats Bob
He's our president
We're checkin' out the girls on the upper deck
Rubbin in the 15 spf its hot
Everybody jumpin' in
Later on when the sun goes down
Well pull out the jar and that ol' guitar
And pass them around!

Bass trackers, bayliners, and a party barge
Strung together like a floatin' trailer park
Anchored out and gettin' loud all summer long!
Side to side there's five houseboat frontporches
Astro turf, lawn chairs, and tiki torches
Regular joes rockin' the boat, that's us!

The Redneck Yacht Club

When the partys over and we're all alone
We'll be makin' waves in a no wake zone!

Bass trackers, bayliners, and a party barge
Strung together like a floatin' trailer park
Anchored out and gettin' loud all summer long!
Side by side there's five houseboat front porches
Astro turf, lawn chairs, and tiki torches
Regular joes rockin' the boat, that's us!

That's What I Love About Sunday (Remix) lyrics - Craig Morgan & Gary LeVox

Raymond's in his Sunday best
He's usually up to his chest
In oil and grease
There's the Martins walking in
With that mean little freckle-faced kid
Who broke a window last week

Sweet Miss Betty likes to sing off-key in the pew behind me

That's what I love about Sunday
Sing along as the choir sways
Every verse of "Amazing Grace"
And then we shake the preacher's hand
Go home, into your blue jeans
Have some chicken and some baked beans
Pick a backyard football team
Not do much of anything
That's what I love about Sunday

I stroll to the end of the drive
Pick up the Sunday Times
Grab a coffee cup
It looks like Sally and Ron
Finally tied the knot
Well, it's about time

It's thirty-five cents off of ground round, baby, cut that coupon out

That's what I love about Sunday
Cat-napping on the porch swing
You curled up next to me
The smell of jasmine wakes us up
Take a walk down a back road
Tackle box and a cane pole
Carve our names in that white oak
And steal a kiss as the sun fades
That's what I love about Sunday
That's what I love about Sunday, oh yeah

Ooh, new believers getting baptized
Mama's hands raised up high
Havin' a Hallelujah good time
A smile on everybody's face
That's what I love about Sunday, oh yeah
That's what I love about Sunday, oh yeah...

International Harvester (Remix) lyrics - Craig Morgan & Lainey Wilson

I'm the son of a third generation farmer
I've been married 10 years to the farmer's daughter
I'm a God fearing hardworking combine driver
Hogging up the road on my p-p-p-p-plower
Chug-a-lug-a-lugin 5 miles an hour
On my International Harvester

3 miles of cars laying on their horns
Falling on deaf ears of corn
Lined up behind me like a big parade
Late to work, road raged jerks
Shouting obscene words flippin me the bird

Well you maybe be on a state paved road
But that blacktop runs through my pay load
Excuse me for trying to do my job
But this year ain't been no bumper crop
If you don't like the way I'm a driving
Get back on the interstate
Otherwise sit tight and be nice
And quit your honking at me that way

Cause I'm the son of a 3rd generation farmer
I've been married 10 years to the farmer's daughter
I got 2 boys in the county 4-H
I'm a lifetime sponsor of the FFA
Hey that's what I make
I make a lot of Hay for a little pay
And I'm proud to say
I'm a God fearing hardworking combine driver
Hogging up the road on my p-p-p-p-plower
Chug-a-lug-a-lugin 5 miles an hour
On my International Harvester

Well I know you got your own deadline
But cussing me won't save you no time Hoss
But this big wheel wide load ain't going any faster
So just smile and wave and tip your hat to the man up on the tractor

I'm the son of a 3rd generation farmer
I've been married 10 years to the farmer's daughter
I got 2 boys in the county 4-H
I'm a lifetime sponsor of the FFA
Hey that's what I make
I make a lot of Hay for a little pay
And I'm proud to say
I'm a God fearing hardworking combine driver
Hogging up the road on my p-p-p-p-plower
Chug-a-lug-a-lugin 5 miles an hour
On my International Harvester

I'm a God fearing hardworking combine driver
Hogging up the road on my p-p-p-p-plower
Chug-a-lug-a-lugin 5 miles an hour
On my International Harvester

International Harvester
International Harvester
International Harvester
International Harvester
International Harvester
International Harvester...

That Ain't Gonna Be Me lyrics - Craig Morgan & Trace Adkins

Some folks believe their TV's like the bible
They think the anthem is just another song
They won't teach their kids to shoot their granddad's rifle
Some don't respect the dirt that they walk on

Well, that ain't gonna be me
I'm gonna put my hand up
I'm gonna stand up
For what I believe
That ain't gonna be me
I'm gonna put my boot down
Let god stand my ground
'Til they bury me
If you're looking for a man to give you an apology
Well, that ain't gonna be me

I see folks that think the whole world owes them somethin'
They look down the nose at those with calloused hands
When a sister, or a brother, or some stranger is in trouble
They turn their head like they don't give a damn

Well, that ain't gonna be me
I'm gonna put my hand up
I'm gonna stand up
For what I believe
That ain't gonna be me
I'm gonna put my boot down
Let god stand my ground
'Til they bury me
I won't apologize for lovin' god and my country and my family
Well, that ain't gonna be me

Someone got no respect to pride for the flag that so many died for

Well, that ain't gonna be me
I'm gonna put my hand up
I'm gonna stand up
For what I believe
That ain't gonna be me
I ain't gonna back down
I ain't gonna tap out
'Til they bury me
I won't apologize for me and all that I can be
Well, that ain't gonna be me
That ain't gonna be me
That ain't gonna be me

The Father, My Son, And The Holy Ghost lyrics - Craig Morgan

Lights are shining bright, it's always downtown on the road
I have friends that come from outta town asking me to go
They say, "There's so much going on
Why don't you come along and show us around?"

I tell them Karen's not feeling well so I probably shouldn't go out
Besides I've gotta fix it, list of things I need to do around the house
Then I hang up the phone, turn the radio back on, and sit back down
I know my boy ain't here but he ain't gone

In the mornings I wake up, give her a kiss, head to the kitchen
Pour a cup of wake-me-up and try to rouse up some ambition
Go outside, sit by myself but I ain't alone
I've got the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost

I've been beat up, I been pushed and shoved but never ever really knocked down
Between mom and dad, Uncle Sam and friends I somehow always pulled out
But the pain of this was more
Than I'd ever felt before, yeah I was broke

I cried and cried and cried until I passed out on the floor
Then I prayed and prayed and prayed till I thought I couldn't pray anymore
And minute by minute, day by day, my God, He gave me hope
I know my boy ain't here but he ain't gone

In the mornings I wake up, give her a kiss, head to the kitchen
Pour a cup of wake-me-up and try to rouse up some ambition
Go outside, sit by myself but I ain't alone
See, I've got the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost

I hope, I love, I pray, I cry
I heal a little more each day inside
I won't completely heal till I go home

In the mornings I wake up, give her a kiss, head to the kitchen
Pour a cup of wake-me-up and try to rouse up some ambition
Go outside, sit by myself but I ain't alone
I've got the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost
One day I'll wake up and I'll be home
With the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost

Soldier lyrics - Craig Morgan

Where did all the people go?
They got scared when the lights went low
I get you through it nice and slow when the world's spinning out of control
Afraid of what they might lose
Might get scraped or they might get bruised
You can beg on what's the use
That's why it's called the moment of truth

I'll get it if you need it
I'll search if you don't see it
You're thirsty, I'll be your rain
You get hurt, I'll take your pain

I know you don't believe it
But I said it and I still mean it
When you heard what I told you
When you get worried I'll be your soldier

Funny when times get hard
At the last moment when it's supposed to charge
We are always on the longest yard
Oh they feel their feet get cold
Hiding here, hiding there
Find them underneath the stairs
People hiding everywhere
Trying to be still as a stone

I'll get it if you need it
I'll search if you can't see it
You're thirsty, I'll be your rain
You get hurt, I'll take your pain

I know you don't believe it
But I said it and I still mean it
When you heard what I told you
When you get worried I'll be your soldier

My aim is so true
I wanna show you
I'll try forever
I'm never gonna say "surrender"

I'll get it if you need it
I'll search if you can't see it
You're thirsty, I'll be your rain
You get hurt, I'll take your pain

I know you don't believe it
But I said it and I still mean it
When you heard what I told you
When you get worried I'll be your soldier
I'll be your soldier
I'll be, oh I'll be your soldier
I'll be a soldier

Going Out Like This lyrics - Craig Morgan

Midnight sittin' here
Can't see clear
Wastin' tears on you
Tick-tock
Round the clock
On the dot
Every thought consumes
Is missin' you

Goin' round and round like this
Is it time to call it quits?

Tell me I didn't hear you right
Tell me it's just another fight
No, we ain't goin' out like this
Oh, we ain't goin' out like this
Tell me what I'm supposed to do
When I feel like I'm losin' you
No, we ain't goin' out like this
We ain't goin' out like this

All alone
Here at home
By the phone
Hopin' you will call
Yeah, I'll answer it
And tell you that
I love you, and
Baby, we can fall

In love all over again
'Cause I don't want it to end like this

Tell me I didn't hear you right
Tell me it's just another fight
No, we ain't goin' out like this
Oh, we ain't goin' out like this
Tell me what I'm supposed to do
When I feel like I'm losin' you
No, we ain't goin' out like this
We ain't goin' out like this

Sometimes it just takes time
Oh, so baby, don't you draw that line

Tell me I didn't hear you right
Tell me it's just another fight
No, we ain't goin' out like this
We ain't goin' out like this
Tell me what I'm supposed to do
When I feel like I'm losin' you
No, we ain't goin' out like this
We ain't goin' out like this

Oh, we ain't gonna go out like this

Whiskey lyrics - Craig Morgan

I hate the taste of whiskey
'Cause it burns, and it don't get me drunk enough
To drown out the sound of her walkin' out
Or the cling, of her suitcase closin' shut

No, I don't look at pictures
All it does is make me miss her every day
Lord, I hate the taste of whiskey
But I drink it anyway

It runs like a river through my veins
And kills my liver, wrecks my brain
Makes me numb, but I still feel the pain
So I pour and pour, then pour some more
Till me and the bottle hit the floor
Another shot in the dark won't stop
This heartache
Lord, I hate the taste of whiskey
But I drink it anyway

There's teardrops in my coffee
Fallin' like, a melancholy kinda rain
I'm sinking like a stone
Man, I'm stoned, like I'm high on her cocaine

Is it her or the bourbon?
Got me hungover, hurtin', I can't say
Lord, I hate the taste of whiskey
But I drink it anyway

It runs like a river through my veins
And kills my liver, wrecks my brain
Makes me numb, but I still feel the pain
So I pour and pour, then pour some more
Till me and the bottle hit the floor
Another shot in the dark won't stop
This heartache
Lord, I hate the taste of whiskey
But I drink it anyway
Lord, I hate the taste of whiskey
But I drink it anyway

Sippin' On The Simple Life lyrics - Craig Morgan

I got my sunny's on, cruisin' on a boat
Destination nowhere, mile marker who knows
Salt is in my nose, SPF 0
Got my line on troll, I'm gonna go where the wind blows

And I drink my drink, and I'll smoke my smoke
I talk the way I talk, and I walk the way I walk
I raise my glass, and I'll toast my toast
Party all night, yeah I'm sippin' on the simple life

Her blonde hair's blowin', bikini lines showin'
Her lipsticks glowin', did I say her bikini lines showin'
There's a tiny tat, at the bottom of her back
Playing peek-a-boo with me
Yeah, it's best you don't see that

And I drink my drink, and I'll smoke my smoke
I talk the way I talk, and I walk the way I walk
I raise my glass, and I'll toast my toast
Party all night, yeah I'm sippin' on the simple life

No, there ain't no right and there ain't no wrong
Yeah, this just might be another drinkin' song
What wrong with that

And I drink my drink, and I'll smoke my smoke
I talk the way I talk, and I walk the way I walk
I raise my glass, and I'll toast my toast
Party all night, yeah I'm sippin' on the simple life

Sippin' on the simple life
Where we gonna go next
(Man I don't know let's find a Daggon cove somewhere)
How bout Bermuda
(Come on)
Let's do it

God, Family And Country (2020 Remaster) lyrics - Craig Morgan

He grew up in a time
When a third grade education
Was all the school you needed
To work the family farm
He'd take time off on Sunday
Him and all his family
Warm a pew
And give thanks to the Lord

There was no gray, only black and white
Didn't need no one to tell him
What was wrong or right
'Cause he had God, family and country

He set aside his plow
In early 1940
Said goodbye to his small town
And put on the Army green
Hard times on the front lines
Writin' letters on wet paper
Not one word about the awful things he'd seen

His was a generation
That answered without question
They knew they had to win
'Cause they were fightin' for
God, family and country
Oh

On the coffee table
Sits the family Bible
Where just last year he added
A little boy to the family tree
There's the folded flag they gave us
On the day he left us
But the thing that I remember most
Is the way that he
Believed

In God, family and country
Oh, we've got God
Family
And country
