Blake Shelton - Red River Blue Album Lyrics

Girl, I been thinkin' 'bout us
And you know I ain't good at this stuff
But these feelings pilin' up won't give me no rest
This might come out a little crazy
A little sideways, yeah maybe
I don't know how long it'll take me
But I'll do my best

You'll be my soft and sweet
I'll be your strong and steady
You'll be my glass of wine
I'll be your shot of whiskey
You'll be my sunny day
I'll be your shade tree
You'll be my honeysuckle
I'll be your honey bee

Yeah, that came out a little country
But every word was right on the money
And I got you smilin' honey right back at me
Now hold on 'cause I ain't done
There's more where that came from
Well you know I'm just havin' fun, but seriously

If you'll be my Louisiana
I'll be your Mississippi
You'll be my Little Loretta
I'll be your Conway Twitty
You'll be my sugar, baby
I'll be your sweet iced tea
You'll be my honeysuckle
I'll be your honey bee

Your kiss just said it all
I'm glad we had this talk
Nothing left to do
But fall in each others arms
I coulda said I love you
Coulda wrote you a line or two
Baby, all I know to do
Is speak right from the heart

If you'll be my soft and sweet
I'll be your strong and steady
You'll be my glass of wine
I'll be your shot of whiskey
You'll be my sunny day
I'll be your shade tree
You'll be my honeysuckle
I'll be your honey bee

You'll be my Louisiana
I'll be your Mississippi
You'll be my Little Loretta
I'll be your Conway Twitty
You'll be my sugar baby
I'll be your sweet iced tea
You'll be my honeysuckle
And I'll be your honey bee

I'll be your honey bee

Girl I've been at work all week
Fingers to the bone I need
A little hit of you and me
A little time alone

All day I've been thinking about
Quitting early skipping out
Hollin' ass to hit the couch
And hang with you at home

We got some laid back country tunes on the radio
We gonna burn all afternoon like it's something to smoke
We gotta whole lot of nothing to do and nowhere to go
So baby I don't know about you but I'm ready to roll

Let other fools go paint the town
We'll just hold this sofa down
Till Monday morning rolls around
I'll tell you what let's do

You go grab those tater chips
I'll whip up some party dip
And well kick back and take a trip
Sip a beer or two

We got some laid back country tunes on the radio
We gonna burn all afternoon like it's something to smoke
We gotta whole lot of nothing to do and nowhere to go
So baby I don't know about you but I'm ready to roll

Yeah we got some laid back country tunes on the radio
We gonna burn all afternoon like it's something to smoke
We gotta whole lot of nothing to do and nowhere to go
So baby I don't know about you but I'm ready to roll

Yeah I'm ready to roll
Ready to roll

I've been a walking heartache
I've made a mess of me
The person that I've been lately
Ain't who I wanna be
But you stay here right beside me
And watch as the storm goes through
And I need you

'Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you, gave me you

There's more here than what we're seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel, lovely
Would somehow fall for me
You'll always be love's great martyr
And I'll be the flattered fool
And I need you, yeah

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you

On my own, I'm only
Half of what I could be
I can't do without you
We are stitched together
And what love has tethered
I pray we never undo

'Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you, gave me you
He gave me you

You get up
You get coffee
You get paid
You get off
You get gas
You get beer
You get drunk
You get weird
You get drove home
You get up thrown

You get hungry
You get chicken
Your guitar needs pickin'
You get tan
You get pale
You get sick
You get well
You get dressed up
You get messed up

Everybody say, God Almighty it's Friday
Everybody get sideways to have a little fun
Everybody's livin'
Everybody's tryin'
Everybody's dyin'
To get some

You get lost
You get saved
You get waxed
You get shaved
You get high, real high
Forget your next line
You get drive-thru, dollar menu

Everybody say, God Almighty it's Friday
Everybody get sideways to have fun
Everybody's livin'
Everybody's tryin'
Everybody's dyin'
To get some

[Guitar]

You get the girl
You get the one
You get her home
You get'r done
You get hitched
You get mad
She gets a lawyer
She gets half
You get banged up
You gotta raise up
That red Dixie cup

And everybody say, God Almighty it's Friday
Everybody get sideways to have a little fun
Everybody's livin'
Everybody's tryin'
Everybody's dyin' to get some
Everybody's dyin' to get some
Dyin' to get some

Hey girl, hey where ya goin'?
Come back and sit back down
You look too good to be heading home so early now
You say you gotta work tomorrow
Got a lot on your mind
Let me buy another round
Girl I think you and I should just

Drink on it
Put our heads together and think on it
Maybe later on we can sleep on it
But for right now
Girl we just need to drink on it

We can talk rocket science
Jesus or politics
How your boyfriend cheated on you
Man he sounds like such a prick
I could use another whiskey
And your Cosmo's gettin' low
While we're trying to figure out
The next place we should go

We can drink on it
Put our heads together and think on it
Maybe later on we can sleep on it
But for right now
Girl we just need to drink on it

This place is closing down
But I don't wanna quit
Gotta good thing going girl
Let's find out what it is

And drink on it
Your place or mine
Girl we can drink on it
Dust off a bottle and drink on it
Feels like we're doin' something right
Let's find a corner of the night
Where you and I can just drink on it
Put our heads together and think on it
Maybe later on we can sleep on it
But for right now
Girl we just need to drink on it

Might make a memory that we won't forget

So let's just drink on it
Yeah
Mmmm
Drink on it
Sleep on it
We can just drink on it

Well every time I turn around
I see some dude dressed like a clown
Baggy pants and a cap on sideways
They don't say ma'am or sir no more
They won't even hold a door for a woman
Well it's a cryin' shame

Tell me where did all the good ole boys go
Must be workin' on a farm
Or out there chasin' rainbows
Are they back in Oklahoma
Or at a Texas rodeo
Tell me where did all the good ole boys go

Are they sittin' on an old bar stool
Tellin' lies and cuttin' the fool
Talkin' about the way it was and wishin'
Or down in Orange Beach, Alabama
Hangin' out at the Flora Bama
Headed out the pass and goin' fishin'

Tell me where did all the good ole boys go
Must be workin' on a farm
Or out there chasin' rainbows
Are they hidin' down in Georgia
Or at a Texas rodeo
Tell me where did all the good ole boys go

Are they drivin' cattle and ridin' high
Livin' life the cowboy way
Or down there on the front line
Fightin' off the bad guys
Givin' 'em hell for the good ole USA

Tell me where did all the good ole boys go
Must be workin' on a farm
Or out there chasin' rainbows
Are they back in Oklahoma
Or at a Texas rodeo
Tell me where did all the good ole boys go
Yeah just where the hell did the good ole boys go

I know where a few of 'em are
Down there in southern Oklahoma
There's even some down in Texas
I even saw one in New York one time
You know what I'm talkin' about ladies
Hell, I'll hold the door for ya
I'll hold your purse for ya
And I'll even go pick up
Some feminine products for ya
That's what a good ole boy'll do

You say you don't know what you were thinking,
Well neither do I.
And after the time we spent together,
You think you deserve another try.

Well girl I don't know what it is
That you're expecting
Just because you looked me in the eye

And say you're sorry,
Oh, you're sorry,
You want it back the way it was.
Well I'm sorry,
But sometimes sorry,
Just ain't good enough.

You say you never meant to hurt me,
Well that might be true.
But do you really think I should forgive you,
For what you put me through.

Oh, I remember every time you said you loved me
But I know now your love was just a lie

And you say you're sorry,
Oh you're sorry,
You want it back the way it was.
Well I'm sorry,
But sometimes sorry,
Just ain't good enough.

Oh, girl I don't know what it is
That you're expecting
Just because you looked me in the eye

And say you're sorry...

Oh, you're sorry,
So sorry,
And you want it back the way it was.
Well I'm sorry,
But sometimes sorry,
Just ain't good enough.

When it's sunny in Seattle and it's snowing down in New Orleans
And them boys from Amarillo stop wearin' those boots and jeans
When Memphis ain't got the blues
That's when I'll stop lovin' you
When it's sunny in Seattle and it's snowing down in new Orleans

Baby, I don't mind you askin'
If there's gonna come a day
When I'll say goodbye
Maybe, I guess anything could happen
But it's as close to never
As you're ever gonna find

When it's sunny in Seattle and it's snowing down in New Orleans
And them boys from Amarillo stop wearin' those boots and jeans
When there's no tequila in Mexico
That's when I'm gonna let you go
When it's sunny in Seattle and it's snowing down in New Orleans

Darlin', some things won't ever change
My love is one of those things

When New York is a one horse town
That's when I won't need you 'round
When it's sunny in Seattle and it's snowing down in New Orleans
When it's sunny in Seattle and it's snowing down in New Orleans

[Verse 1:]
If I could
I would dare
Feed your dreams
And starve your fears
If I could
Light the world
We could sit
And watch it burn
We could fall asleep inside the glow

[Chorus:]
So tell me what I gotta do to win you over
You'll never have to wonder if you need another
You'll never have to wonder if I understand
And every time you reach for me you'll find a hand out
Ohhh

[Verse 2:]
If I could
Take you in
Feeling you deep
Beneath my skin
Then I could
Slip away
With you as a poison in my veins
I don't wanna fall asleep alone
And wake up knowing that I died without the one

[Chorus: x2]
So tell me what I gotta do to win you over
You'll never have to wonder if you need another
You'll never have to wonder if I understand
And every time you reach for me you'll find a hand out
Ohhh

[Ending:]
If I could
I would dare
Feed your dreams
And starve your fears...

Hey, hey, I'm out here bailin' hay.
And all my friends are cruisin' 'round town.
Checkin' out the pretty girls
Hey! And what do they say
They say hey, hey,
Park that Deere, come out and play,
Kick that tire, wipe my perspire
Cause my whole life is hay.

Growin' like weeds, stick out your teeth
Playin' underneath the baby Jesus
Blowin' out the truck, headin' down the highway
Lookin' pretty soft up in the loft
Come on baby kick your cowgirls off
I'm pickin' you up after I draw my pay
And we'll be rollin' in the hay

Hey, hey, Ford, Dodge, Chevrolet
Different strokes for different folks
A little fella walks up in a pink beret
He says "Hey" - Hey, hell that's OK
Turn the guitars up and raise them cups
Hell my whole life is hay.

Growin' like weeds, stick out your teeth
Playin' underneath the baby Jesus
Blowin' out the truck, headin' down the highway
Lookin' pretty soft up in the loft
Come on baby kick your cowgirls off
I'm pickin' you up after I draw my pay
And we'll be rollin' in the hay

Put it on a flatbed and go for a ride
Under the moonlight, you by my side
Give it to the cow, make it go moo
Koo-koo-kachoo, kick it off your shoe
Break a camel's back, jack
Then you put it in a stack yeah.

Growin' like weeds, stick out your teeth
Playin' underneath the baby Jesus
Blowin' out the truck, headin' down the highway
Lookin' pretty soft up in the loft
Come on baby kick your cowgirls off
I'm pickin' you up after I draw my pay
And we'll be rollin' in the hay

My whole life is hay
Rollin' in the hay
Hey!
Now come here, hey, hey
Hey!

On the Oklahoma shore of that old red river
I stand right here and curse my pride.
That river runs deep
That current is strong
And the woman I love is on the other side.
How did the love we made together
Break apart and drift away
Leave me lost and lonely
On this crimson bank

Red River Blue
God pull me through
I'd walk through fire if that bridge hadn't burned in two
Texoma sky
Tears in my eyes
She said goodbye and now I'm red river blue

They say everything is bigger
Under that Texas moon
I'll bet my right hand you won't find a bigger fool
She's probably smiling somewhere tonight
In someone else's arms
I'm here dragging the muddy bottom
For pieces of my heart

Red River Blue
God pull me through
I'd walk through fire if that bridge hadn't burned in two
Texoma sky
Tears in my eyes
She said goodbye and now I'm red river blue
She said goodbye and now I'm red river blue
