HOME o DPRODUCED BY BOBBY BRADDOCK oPRODUCED BY BRENT ROWAN dPRODUCED BY PAUL WORLEY This Can’T BE GOOD Don’T MAKE ME There’s a campfire burning on the Mississippi riverbank Girl when I look at you, you look through me My old pickup speakers are cranking out a lot of Hank Like I’m not even there That’s the sheriff’s daughter dancing on my hood I’m trying not to give up, to be strong but With an empty bottle, this can’t be good I’m afraid to say I’m scared I can’t find the place your heart is hiding There’s an unwritten law in this sleepy little town And I’m no quitter but I’m tired of fighting There ain’t no drinking on the river when the sun goes down I think I see the blue lights coming through the woods Chorus: It’s the sheriff and his posse, this can’t be good Baby I love you, Don’t wanna lose you Don’t make me let you go, Took such a long time Everybody’s running like the end of the world was coming For me to find you, Don’t make me let you go With a Buford T kind of lawman closing in Baby I’m beggin’ please, and I’m down here on my knees She just keeps on rocking, guess I better do some talking I don’t want to have to set you free She’s too dumb to run and I’m too drunk to swim Don’t make me This can’t be good, this can’t be good What if when I’m long gone it dawns on you This can’t be good, oh stay tuned You just might want me back Let me make myself clear if I leave here This old hay barn is full of last year’s grass It’s done, I’m gone, that’s that I’ve got an old tin can full of campfire gas You carry my love around like it’s a heavy burden There’s a little bitty flame on this piece of firewood Well I’m about to take it back, are you sure it’s worth it And when it all comes together, it can’t be good Chorus Everybody’s running like the end of the world was coming With a wildfire burning like a freight train out of control Don’t make me She just keeps on rocking, babe there ain’t no time for talkin’ Baby I’m beggin’ please, and I’m down here on my knees Throw her over my shoulder and run with everything I can I don’t want to have to set you free Hold on babe looks like we’re jumping in Don’t make me Now you know when we get to the other side Don’t make me We’re gonna have to take all these wet clothes off Stop loving you And hang out a while Stop needing you You know this could be good Don’T MAKE ME THE MORE I DRINK Girl when I look at you, you look through me He was sittin’ at the bar sippin’ on a regular coke Like I’m not even there We were drinkin’ and smokin’ and makin’ him the butt of our jokes I’m trying not to give up, to be strong but We all said man what happened to you I’m afraid to say I’m scared Why can’t you just have a few I can’t find the place your heart is hiding He said I would if I could And I’m no quitter but I’m tired of fighting But it’s probably best that I don’t Chorus: Chorus: Baby I love you, Don’t wanna lose you ’Cause the more I drink, the more I drink Don’t make me let you go, Took such a long time Yeah I’m the world’s greatest lover and a dancin’ machine For me to find you, Don’t make me let you go I get loud, I get proud, and it gets worse Baby I’m beggin’ please, and I’m down here on my knees Well if I have one, I’ll have thirteen I don’t want to have to set you free Nah there ain’t no in between Don’t make me ’Cause the more I drink, the more I drink What if when I’m long gone it dawns on you A couple of cold ones and somebody hands me a shot You just might want me back Hell even bucktooth and bow-legged women start lookin’ hot Let me make myself clear if I leave here And pretty soon I’m bummin’ cigarettes It’s done, I’m gone, that’s that And sweet talkin’ some big brunette You carry my love around like it’s a heavy burden Yeah once I get on a roll Well I’m about to take it back, are you sure it’s worth it There ain’t no tellin’ where I’ll stop Chorus Chorus Don’t make me Yep, yep Baby I’m beggin’ please, and I’m down here on my knees Hmm that’s what I’m talkin’ about I don’t want to have to set you free Don’t make me Man if I have one I’ll have thirteen And they can’t get me off the karaoke machine Don’t make me The more I drink, the more I drink Stop loving you Yeah the more I drink, the more I drink, the more I drink Stop needing you I Don’T CARE SHE Don’T LOVE ME There she was, laughin’ talkin’ window shoppin’ You know if I’d a seen her comin’ With a new guy, and I heard about him I’d a probably tried to hide I heard she found him, right around when we said goodbye But I came around the corner and she caught me by surprise And I came real close and almost lost my temper There was no ice-cold shoulder But I bit my tongue, kept my cool There was no ugly scene She just smiled and didn’t say the things I thought she’d say to me ’Cause I remembered Well it was nothin’ like that rainy night, She left and slammed the door First Chorus: Not only she don’t love me, She don’t hate me anymore I don’t care, she don’t matter, I don’t love her anymore He can have her, I don’t know why it slips my mind I felt like some old neighbor I tell myself all the time, guess I forgot again Just some guy that she once knew For a second there that I don’t care You’d never know she loved me and I broke her heart in two Was she hidin’ her emotions Almost ten Or did she really get that strong Should’ve known his car would still be parked Right then she turned and introduced me to her new friend John In her drive, almost pulled in Knocked on her door and gave her a piece of my mind I could tell the way he shook my hand, He never heard of me before Oh but I just kept on drivin’ back to my place Not only she don’t love me, She don’t hate me anymore Wonderin’ why I went so far out of my way (when) There was no ice-cold shoulder, There was no ugly scene Chorus She just smiled and didn’t say the things I just knew she’d say to me I got home the light was blinkin’ on that old machine Guess she got so caught up in him, My memory’s gone ignored She said my brother’s been in town, that he just left and I miss you Not only she don’t love me, She don’t hate me anymore Give me a ring Now I know it might sound crazy Second Chorus: But I don’t know what hurts me more I still care, She’s all that matters Is it the fact that she don’t love me I still love her just like always, I got to have her Or she don’t hate me anymore I never got her off my mind, Been hopin’ she would call some time I know it’s late, To be drivin’ over there Not only she don’t love me But I don’t care, I don’t care She don’t hate me anymore SHE Don’T LOVE ME BACK THERE AGAIN You know if I’d a seen her comin’ This old Buick’s like the needle on a compass pointing due west I’d a probably tried to hide I remember her smile like June sunflowers But I came around the corner and she caught me by surprise And the look of her body as she slipped out of that dress There was no ice-cold shoulder God I’m such a mess There was no ugly scene She just smiled and didn’t say the things I thought she’d say to me Never a morning person but that girl’s still in bed The sheets are tangled the alarm is jangling The last dream from her pretty head Well it was nothin’ like that rainy night, She left and slammed the door I told her I was leaving she didn’t believe the words I said Not only she don’t love me, She don’t hate me anymore I ain’t ever going, I ain’t ever going, I ain’t ever going back there again I felt like some old neighbor Just some guy that she once knew She’ll put on her makeup and drink from her teacup You’d never know she loved me and I broke her heart in two And glance at that silver frame Was she hidin’ her emotions See I took our picture and then it’ll hit her Or did she really get that strong She’ll cry out with pain, Maybe whisper my name Right then she turned and introduced me to her new friend John I ain’t ever going, I ain’t ever going, I ain’t ever going back there again I could tell the way he shook my hand, He never heard of me before No one’s gonna make me and nothing’s gonna take me Not only she don’t love me, She don’t hate me anymore I ain’t ever going back there again Now don’t blame her mama for making me promise There was no ice-cold shoulder, There was no ugly scene Don’t come around here no more, She said maybe your life’s gone to hell She just smiled and didn’t say the things I just knew she’d say to me But that’s a tour of duty she didn’t sign up for Guess she got so caught up in him, My memory’s gone ignored When you can’t save yourself you save somebody else Not only she don’t love me, She don’t hate me anymore Maybe that’s how you survive I’m running away so she don’t have to see a life Now I know it might sound crazy In slow motion suicide, You throw in the towel they call you a coward But I don’t know what hurts me more Tell you to fight, don’t cut and run, I ain’t no hero but the truth is I know Is it the fact that she don’t love me It’s the bravest thing I’ve ever done, The hardest part is knowing Or she don’t hate me anymore What we could have and should have become Not only she don’t love me I ain’t ever going, I ain’t ever going, I ain’t ever going back there again She don’t hate me anymore No one’s gonna make me and nothing’s gonna take me I ain’t ever going, going, to break her heart again IT Ain’T Easy Bein’ Me WHAT I WOULdn’T
