toby keith bullets in the gun album zip download Bullets in the Gun. Aggressive though the title may be, Bullets in the Gun winds up being the Toby Keith album with the lightest touch since 2006’s White Trash with Money. A light touch doesn’t mean Keith has lost his swagger: Bullets still pulses with testosterone -- flirting with misogyny in the dirty jokes of “Get Out of My Car,” Keith redeeming himself with his bawdy humor -- but it also swings, easing into the bluesy gait of “Think About You All of the Time” and rocking & rolling through “Drive it On Home,” catching its breath on “Somewhere Else” while admiring the colorful characters dotting the “Trailerhood.” Excepting the too-cool commercial sheen of “Kissin’ in the Rain,” there are no unexpected left turns on the album, but Keith is so firmly within his wheelhouse that he’s comfortable enough to take his time and have some fun, never laboring too hard -- as he sometimes did on the perfectly fine but mildly perfunctory American Ride -- but not getting lazy, either. It’s a lean, tight record that takes its time but doesn’t dawdle, it has the easy confidence of a pro who knows that he’s working at the top of his game. [Bullets in the Gun is expanded by four live covers in its Deluxe Edition: a rip-roaring version of Johnny Paycheck's “11 Months & 29 Days,” a long ramble through Waylon Jennings' “Waymore’s Blues” -- credited as “I’ve Been a Long Time Leaving (But I’ll Be a Long Time Gone)" on the album cover, for some reason -- a rollicking take on Roger Miller’s “Chug a Lug,” and a slow-rolling version of Gordon Lightfoot’s “Sundown.”] Bullets in the Gun. " Bullets in the Gun " is a song by Toby Keith for the album of the same name. The song tells of a drifter that fell in love with a dancer that decide to steal from her boss and flee to the country. As the two flee they eventually end up in a shoot out where his partner abandons him. Lyrics. They used to call me lightning I was always quick to strike Had everything I own In the saddles on my bike I had a reputation For never staying very long Just like a wild and restless drifter Like a cowboy in a song. I met a dark haired beauty Where they lay the whiskey down In southern Arizona In a little border town She had to dance for money In that dusty old saloon I dropped a dollar in the jukebox Played that girl a tune, yeah. Never see it comin' It just hits you by surprise It's that cold place in your soul And the fire in her eyes That makes you come together Like wild horses when they run Now the cards are on the table and The bullets in the gun. She was sittin' on my lap We still had shots to kill When a man pulled up Who owned the bar In a Cadillac Deville Grabbed her by her raven hair And threw her on the floor Said, "No free rides for the cowboys, That ain't what I pay you for, no" She jumped up and grabbed my pistol Stuck it in the fat man's back Said, "Open up the safe And put your money in the sack" Then tied his hands behind him And put a blindfold on his eyes Said, "If you're dumb enough to chase us, man, You're dumb enough to die" Never see it comin' It just hits you by surprise It's that cold place in your soul And the fire in her eyes Makes you come together Like wild horses when they run Now the cards are on the table And the bullets in the gun. We rode across the border Down into Mexico When you're runnin' from the law Ain't that where everybody goes We came upon a town With a name I couldn't spell She gave me what I came for In that Mexican motel. I woke up to sirens And the sound of running feet Near 50 Federals locked and loaded in the street She grabbed my 44 I grabbed the money in the sack I kissed her for the last time And we headed out the back. Every gun was on us And every heartbeat pounded The only thing that's left to do When they got you all surrounded She fired that old pistol But we didn't stand a prayer Money hit the gravel Bullets filled the air. Never see it comin' Just hits you by surprise It's that cold place in your soul And the fire in her eyes Makes you come together Like wild horses when they run Now the cards are on the table and The bullets in the gun. Toby Keith is Locked and Loaded. Toby Keith is back on the scene with his next album release. Toby set out to find success with his own record label a few years ago and he’s been extremely successful with his own music. He puts out a new album every year and a half. Each of those albums has 3 singles sent to radio and 1 or 2 of those usually have a big impact on radio with the third occasionally making a minor splash. Toby’s business model is pretty streamline but his music is anything but. Toby has been a consistent force for good country music over the past 20 years and his latest album is no different. Toby and his record label were nice enough to send me a copy of his new album and I thought I would review each of the songs for you so you can determine if you want to purchase it. Bullets In The Gun – Toby Keith. 1) Bullets In The Gun. The opening track is also the title track and second single from the album. It’s probably the best song on the entire record. It’s a great modern day Bonnie & Clyde story. Toby sings as the narrator that gets messed up in the Southwest with a dancing girl, her ex lovers, and some stolen cash. The rest is history as the two flee for safety in Mexico only to be tracked down in a blaze of glory and gunfire. The song reminds me of El Paso by Marty Robbins with a little bit of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. It’s really a great song, which shouldn’t surprise me so much since Toby is great with songs like this. 2) Somewhere Else. On his last two albums Toby has featured lots of songs he has co-written with Bobby Pinson – fellow country artist. Somewhere Else is another one of those tracks. The song is a little uptempo with a cool groove. It’s a classic song about a guy alone after his woman left him. He heads to the bar on most days and stumbles his way through life, but in the end the guy sure knows he’ll make it somewhere even if it’s not where he originally intended on going. 3) Trailerhood. Most of you already know Trailerhood . It’s the campy, but fun tune that opened up the album as the first single. The song is simply about living life in the trailer park. It’s not poking fun at anyone, but embracing the good life of living down in a little piece of paradise. Songs like these allow us to have a little laugh out ourselves once and a while. Even if you’ve never lived in a trailer you’ve probably found yourself doing a few of the things mentioned in this song. Farmer tans? Watch the storms with a beer on the lawn chair out back? Don’t lie. You know you’ve done it. This song is one of my favorites on the album as well. There is just something about it that’s enjoyable to listen to. 4) In A Couple of Days. More whiskey drinking after the sorrows of losing a woman fill this song about love and loss. Toby sings about growing his beard out and not doing much of anything after being surprised that his woman left. Most of the album is filled with a full-bearded Toby and it finally makes sense on this track. The song has as simple arrangement with just a few instruments. I like the stripped down feel to this track. It’s unique. After a tough break up it takes us all a little time to get over the initial shock. Toby sings about just needing a couple of days. The chorus has the classic Toby Keith powerful tone to it and that is what really makes this a good track. 5) Think About You All Of The Time. From the first few chords on this track you know it’s going to be a little tongue in cheek. Toby sings about a new girlfriend that cures his heart after his old one left him. Even though Toby is sure he’s moved on he just can’t shake the thought of her. There is a little denial in this song as Toby tries to do all he can to get over that woman he can’t help but thinking about his old gal even when he’s romancing a new woman. He doesn’t miss her that much though…he just thinks about her all the time. 6) Kissin’ In The Dark. Some electric guitars and a song about high school and having fun is the recipe for a great tune. The song is about two kids having the love of a lifetime in the car one night back in high school Toby reminiscences about those days every time it rains and he hears the rain coming down hard. This is a good tune that even sounds like it could be a hit single. 7) Drive It On Home. The trucker song. This song moves one hundred miles an hour down the road and it will get you jacked up as you hear it through the speakers on your truck. It’s a great song that fits right in with all the classic trucker songs from years past. Toby rips through the lyrics as the narrator sings about heading on home to see his baby. Plenty of road images and trucking grooves in this great country tune. 8 ) Ain’t Breakin’ Nothin’ Here we get a new look at the classic breakup song. Toby tells the tale of a guy that’s getting dumped. Despite being down on his luck and thinking things are pretty low the narrator takes the positive road and thinks that he’s been down this low before and he can sure as hell climb his way out again. Some of us find ourselves getting caught in life’s ruts and fighting to stay out. It’s just a part of life, but it ain’t nothing that can’t be worked out. 9) Is That All You Got. Here we go back to a few albums ago when Toby Keith used to write all his songs with fellow artist Scotty Emerick. Also included as a co-writer is Toby’s original writing partner Dean Dillion who was with Toby in the very early days. I’m not sure if this track is a leftover from those times, but it fits in well on this record. As you could probably suspect from the title, the song is about a guy that finds himself in a breakup but that he asks the girl if that’s all she’s got. Toby is ready to get right back up and head out to take on life once again with this song. It fits right in with the theme to Toby’s entire career – is that all you got? 10) Get Out Of My Car. Ever have a girl drink all your booze with the hopes of doing a little loving? You know you’ve been there before. Sure it’s a little misogynistic, but it’s all in a bit of fun. Women will probably not like this song the best. I played it for my girlfriend and she gave me the finger, in fact. But Toby has never been one to shy away from controversy so this fits right in with his attitude. Next 4 tracks on Deluxe version only. 11) 11 Months and 29 Days. Ladies and Gentlemen…can we get a little Johnny Paycheck please? Toby breaks things down with a little blues country on this Johnny cover. Man this song is great. Outlaw country at its finest and other than Jamey Johnson there is perhaps no person better to sing this cover than Toby. What a great job on this track. It fits right in with the theme of the album which is mostly about drinking, losing woman, screwing up, and getting into trouble on the wrong side of life. 12) I’ve Been A Long Time Leaving (But I’ll Be A Long Time Gone) This one starts out kind of groovy and then Toby comes in with a low growl. It’s a neat track. Toby lays down some cool Waylon. It’s straight outta the outlaw era and I’m diffing it. This is one of the truly cool tracks to come out of a Deluxe package. I really like it, but you can’t really go wrong with some Waylon covers especially if your Toby Keith. 13) Chug-A-Lug. Lots of saxophone to kick this one off. For some reason Toby loves him some saxophone in the last three or four years. It’s kind of weird, but he makes it work. This tune is the classic from Roger Miller. It’s a fun live track that kind of gets things on a fun note before shutting down the album. Roger could really write some great songs and this is one of them. It’s fun to see Toby putting his own licks on the tune. 14) Sundown. You’ll recognize this Gordon Lightfoot classic. Toby puts some great passion behind this live version on the Deluxe version of his latest album. He gets the fans in the audience to sing along and it makes for a great moment on the record. I love when country artists take on classic American rock songs like this. Toby does a great job. He captures the same vibe Gordon does on the original and adds a little bit of Toby attitude.

Toby Keith is armed and victorious as his Bullets in the Gun blasts into No. 1 on Billboard ’s country album charts. It was propelled there, according to Nielsen SoundScan, by first-week sales of 70,830 copies. Bullets sweeps aside last week’s primo CD, Kenny Chesney’s Hemingway’s Whiskey , which slips back to No. 2. The other big winner is Josh Turner, whose “All Over Me” now stands atop the songs chart after a dogged 27-week climb. Katie Armiger’s Confessions of a Nice Girl is the only other new album. It bows in at No. 58. Five titles return to the chart: Merle Haggard’s I Am What I Am (No. 42), Randy Travis’ I’ll Fly Away (No. 70), Ricky Skaggs’ Mosaic (No. 73), Rosanne Cash’s The List (No. 74) and The Band Perry’s self-titled EP (No. 75). The No. 3 through No. 5 albums are Zac Brown Band’s You Get What You Give , Jamey Johnson’s The Guitar Song and Billy Currington’s Enjoy Yourself , in that order. Do you enjoy a good cry? Then bend an ear to Brett Eldredge’s “Raymond.” It’s at No. 46 in its second week out.
