Thomas Rhett - Center Point Road Album Lyrics

Up

When you're sick of the same old songs
From the same old band on the bar marquee, call me up
If you're climbin' the walls, baby we could hang, hang, hang
If you're ridin' around this re-run town
And you need a little company baby, call me up
Hit me up, tell ya what, it ain't no thang thang thang

Call me up
Yeah I'm down if you feel like messin' around
Whatever you want, shoot, I don't care, you can come over here
I can come over there
And pick you up, that's right
On a sit around Saturday night with nothing to do
And you just want something to do
Hey why don't you call me up
All you gotta do, all ya gotta do, is call me up
And I'll pick right up

When you're startin' at the same ol ceiling
And you're watching the fan go 'round and round call me up
Whatcha waitin' on girl give me a ring, ring, ring
I'll flip the script, I'll hit the switch
When that bottle of wine ain't doin' the trick, baby get your fix
Girl let your lips say my name, name, name

Call me up
Yeah I'm down if you feel like messin' around
Whatever you want, shoot, I don't care, you can come over here
I can come over there
And pick you up, that's right
On a sit around Saturday night with nothing to do
And you just want something to do
Hey why don't you call me up
All you gotta do, all ya gotta do, is call me up
And I'll pick right up

When you're twistin' your hair with your feet up on the couch
Don't wanna go nowhere or if ya wanna get out
Call me up

Yeah I'm down if you feel like messin' around
Whatever you want, shoot, I don't care, you can come over here
I can come over there
And pick you up, that's right
On a sit around Saturday night with nothing to do
And you just want something to do
Why don't you call me up
All you gotta do, all ya gotta do, is call me up
And say what's up

Get out your phone girl if you're home alone girl
Don't ya know girl, all you gotta do is call me up
Yeah, call me up

Blessed

The lights are down, but you're shinin'
Like you always do
Every day, I'm reminded
Of the miracle of you

You're too good for coincidence
And too perfect for an accident
And I'm not sure where Heaven is
But every night, I get a glimpse

And I know I'm blessed
Watching you spin in that dress
Makin' my heart beat out my chest
I can't count the times I've heard
People say I'm lucky, but lucky ain't the word
Oh, I'm blessed
And all I ain't got is my breath
You stole it the first time we meet
You're more than I deserve
People say I'm lucky, but lucky ain't the word
Oh, I'm

I keep checking you for halos
Swear you're an angel in the skies
You blow my mind from every angle, and I
Can see Heaven in your eyes

You're too good for coincidence
And too perfect for an accident
And I'm not sure where Heaven is
But every night, I get a glimpse

And I know I'm blessed (blessed)
Watching you spin in that dress (dress)
Makin' my heart beat out my chest
I can't count the times I've heard
People say I'm lucky, but lucky ain't the word
Oh, I'm blessed (blessed)
And all I ain't got is my breath (breath)
You stole it the first time we met
You're more than I deserve
People say I'm lucky, but lucky ain't the word
Oh, I'm

Baby, you're the kind of girl that I've always prayed for
And I swear by my dying breath that I will be faithful
Oh, baby
'Cause I'm on my knees (I'm on my knees)
Whoa, you make me believe

Baby, I'm blessed (blessed)
Watching you spin in that dress (dress)
Makin' my heart beat out my chest
I can't count the times I've heard
People say I'm lucky, but lucky ain't the word
Oh, I'm blessed (blessed)
And all I ain't got is my breath (breath)
You stole it the first time we met
You're more than I deserve
People say I'm lucky, but lucky ain't the word
Oh, I'm blessed

Center Point Road

We drank our beer in the basement
So no one would know
We didn't care where the days went
Had nowhere to go, Center Point Road
When everything was about a kiss
And clouds just looked like battleships
Helmets crashin' on the field
And we thought every love was real

We wrote our own destiny
In parking lots and empty streets
Yeah, we got high on you and me
Jumped over cracks beneath our feet
And we thought it would never end
Then watched it go like summer wind
When growing up was just a dream
And Friday night was everything

Yeah, we didn't worry 'bout nothin'
We had it all, yeah
And bein' the fastest was somethin'
Runnin' the halls, breakin' the law
Life was about the party (the party, yeah)
Who you are and who you're with
Drinkin' 'til your head was sorry
Oh, and dancin' for the hell of it, yeah

We wrote our own destiny
In parking lots and empty streets
Yeah, we got high on you and me
Jumped over cracks beneath our feet
And we thought it would never end
Then watched it go like summer wind
When growing up was just a dream
And Friday night was everything

Hold on forever (hold on forever)
Yeah, hold onto it (hold onto it)
Yeah, hold on forever (hold on forever)
And never let go of it (ooh, ooh)

Everyone says when you're younger
It's gonna go fast
Then suddenly hits you like thunder
And you're gonna wanna go back
Wanna go back, wanna go back, wanna go back

We wrote our own destiny (oh, yeah)
In parking lots and empty streets
Yeah, we got high on you and me
Jumped over cracks beneath our feet (oh, whoa)
And we thought it would never end (ooh, yeah)
Then watched it go like summer wind (ooh, ooh)
When growing up was just a dream (just a dream)
And Friday night was everything

We wrote our own destiny
In parking lots and empty streets
When growing up was just a dream
And Friday night was everything

That Old Truck

Up and down streets of a no-name town
Me and her with the windows down
35s rolling on the ground
Loving every minute
Skoal peach in the side of the door
Coke cans rolling on the floor
No, I never wanted nothing more
Yeah, that was living

I drove her to work, drove her to school
I drove her to PCB
I jacked it up, loaded it down
With all my friends and me

I grew up in it
Yeah, I got stuck in it
Playin' our song on the stereo
Drivin' 'til we ran outta road
Yeah, I broke up in it
I fell in love in it
Made a lifetime full of memories
On a half tank of gasoline
I learned just who I wasn't and who I was
In that old truck, mmm
In that old truck

I found a field, I put it in park
Blanket and a girl and a billion stars
Midnight buzz and a racing heart
When I leaned in to kiss her
I wrecked it good on some old back road
Had to call daddy to get her towed
Cussing out all that grass I mowed
Just saving up to fix her

Had some luck, fogged it up
And I ain't gonna lie
She heard me laugh, heard me cry
Heard me pray sometimes

I grew up in it
Yeah, I got stuck in it
Playin' our song on the stereo
Drivin' 'til we ran out of road
Yeah, I broke up in it
I fell in love in it
Made a lifetime full of memories
On a half tank of gasoline
I learned just who I wasn't and who I was
In that old truck, mmm
Yeah, in that old truck (yeah)

Yeah, you might think it's crazy
And you might not understand
But that hand-me-down on four wheels
Turned this boy into a man

Yeah, I grew up in it
I got stuck in it
Jamming our song on the stereo
Drivin' 'til we ran out of road
Yeah, I broke up in it
I fell in love in it
I made a lifetime full of memories
On a half tank of gasoline
Yeah, I learned who I wasn't and who I was
But yeah, whoever's got it now, I hope they love
That old truck, mmm
Yeah, that old truck
That old truck, mmm

VHS

We got that top down on a old jeep
Rolling through the country
Yeah, just two hearts and a backbeat
Spending all our money
On a bag of ice and a case of Light
It's about a thousand Fahrenheit (yeah)
No need to check the weather long as we're together

It's gon' be a V-H-S (whoa)
Soon as I saw them palm trees on your T-shirt dress (whoa)
Yeah, I felt my whole body break into a sweat (oh yeah)
I'm like, "S-O-S"
Hands on fire when I hold you
I can guarantee it's gonna be a very hot summer, me and you
We'll be all over each other like we do (all over each other, baby)
All day underneath the covers, ooh
It's gonna be another very hot summer with you
Hot summer with you, now, oh

Got a swan float from the Ron Jon
Let's go find some water
'Cause it's popping off like Pérignon
It keeps getting hotter
'Cause you bring the heat like South Beach
Somebody crank up that AC
You've got these windows steaming, girl, I got a feeling

It's gon' be a V-H-S (whoa)
Soon as I saw them palm trees on your T-shirt dress (whoa)
Yeah, I felt my whole body break into a sweat (oh yeah)
I'm like, "S-O-S"
Hands on fire when I hold you
I can guarantee it's gonna be a very hot summer, me and you
We'll be all over each other like we do
All day underneath the covers, ooh (underneath them covers)
It's gonna be another very hot summer with you

I can feel it in the air now
When you're pulling back your hair and look at me that way
Cherry on your lips,
Margarita on your kiss
I can almost taste it
Girl, we're on our way to a

V-H-S
Soon as I saw them palm trees on your T-shirt dress
Yeah, I felt my whole body break into a sweat (a sweat)
Like, "S-O-S" (-O-S)
Hands on fire when I hold you
I can guarantee it's gonna be a V-H-S (whoa)
Soon as I saw them palm trees on your T-shirt dress (whoa)
Yeah, I felt my whole body break into a sweat
I'm like, "S-O-S"
Hands on fire when I hold you (hold you)
I can guarantee it's gonna be a very hot summer, me and you
(You know it's gonna be a)
We'll be over each other like we do (all over each other, baby)
All day underneath the covers, ooh
It's gonna be another very hot summer with you

Notice

You say it every day now
I know I get spaced out
In a conversation
Yeah, it's been a hard year
You say that I don't hear
All the words you're saying
And it makes you miss me
Even when you're with me
Feels like something's broken
I know I've been acting
Easily distracted
You wish I could focus

You think that I don't notice
How you brush your hair out of your green eyes
The way you blush when you drink red wine
The way you smile when you try to bend the truth
You think that I don't notice
All the songs you sing underneath your breath
You still tear up at a beach sunset
And you dance just like you're the only one in the room
You think that I don't notice, but I do
(I do, yeah, I do, yeah)

At that party last night
Baby, I don't know why
I forgot to mention
You were looking drop-dead
Not even a contest
Center of attention
If I had to say every time you looked amazing
You'd think I was joking
But I brag about you
When I'm not around you
You don't even know it

You think that I don't notice
How you brush your hair out of your green eyes
The way you blush when you drink red wine
The way you smile when you try to bend the truth
You think that I don't notice
All the songs you sing underneath your breath
You still tear up at a beach sunset
And you dance just like you're the only one in the room
You think that I don't notice, but I

See it all, and I keep on falling for you every night
Over and over again
It's my fault that I don't remind you every day of your life
You're perfect
(I do, yeah, I do, yeah)

You think that I don't notice
How you brush your hair out of your green eyes
The way you blush when you drink red wine
The way you smile when you try to bend the truth
You think that I don't notice
All the songs you sing underneath your breath
You still tear up at a beach sunset
And you dance just like you're the only one in the room
You think that I don't notice, but I do
(I do, yeah, I do, yeah)

Sand

Oh, yeah
Ooh

Baby, I've been thinking
We got two weeks worth of vacation
And I'm craving some vitamin D, a kite on a string
Let's get off the grid where our phone don't ring
I'm talking, Orange, Myrtle, Pebble
On a blanket, baby, with you, sea-level (sea-level)
Corona, Malibu
I just wanna kick it with you

Somewhere in the sand, cold one in our hand
Listening to a little beach bar band
Singing, "Don't Worry, Be Happy"
How could I not, baby, when you're looking at me?
With those eyes creeping in like that tide
Gettin' me a Rooftop 30A high
No plans, just tan, sun-kissed, loving it
Covered in sand, yeah (ooh)

In the sheets, on your feet, in the shower
In the wind, on your skin, on a towel
On the bottom of a bottle, in your long hair (long hair)
Let's get to getting, girl

Somewhere in the sand, cold one in our hand
Listening to a little beach bar band
Singing, "Don't Worry, Be Happy"
How could I not, baby, when you're looking at me?
With those eyes creeping in like that tide (that tide)
Gettin' me a Rooftop 30A high
No plans, just tan (just tan), sun-kissed (sun-kissed), loving it (loving it)
Covered in sand, yeah (ooh)

Saint John, Saint George, Saint Pete
Lake Michigan or kicking in the Keys (in the Keys)
We could spend a month or we could spend a week
I just wanna be

Somewhere in the sand, cold one in our hand
Listening to a little beach bar band
Singing, "Don't Worry, Be Happy"
How could I not, baby, when you're looking at me?
With those eyes creeping in like that tide (that tide)
Getting me a Rooftop 30A high
No plans, just tan (just tan), sun-kissed (sun-kissed), loving it (loving it)
Covered in sand, yeah (ooh)
No plans, just tan, sun-kissed, loving it (ooh)
Covered in sand, yeah

Beer Can't Fix

You're all alone at a party, you wanna dance with somebody
But you ain't got a clue how to ask
You and your girl had a fight and now she's sayin' goodbye
She ran upstairs and packed her bags

It could be rainin' on your perfect vacation
You could be stressed about your work situation
Ain't gotta listen to me, but all I'm sayin'

Ain't nothing that a beer can't fix
Ain't no pain it can't wash away
From the moment that it hits your lips
Makes those clouds look a little less gray
Oh, you could be lonely, or heartbroken
Or hungover from the night before
Turn that frown into a smile real quick
There ain't nothing that a beer can't fix

You're on a lake and you're fishin'
It's hot and all that you're gettin'
Is a little nibble here and there
You're sitttin', watchin' your team losin' that championship ring
And you're feelin like life ain't fair

It could be rainin' on your perfect vacation
You could be stressed about your work situation

Ain't nothing that a beer can't fix
Ain't no pain it can't wash away
From the moment that it hits your lips
Makes those clouds look a little less gray
Oh, you could be lonely, heartbroken
Or hungover from the night before
Turn that frown into a smile real quick
Ain't nothing that a beer can't fix (yeehaw)

It could be rainin' on your perfect vacation
You could be stressed about your work situation
Ain't gotta save it for no special occasion

Ain't nothing that a beer can't fix
Ain't no pain it can't wash away, no
From the moment that it hits your lips
Makes those clouds look a little less gray
Oh, you could be lonely (lonely)
Heartbroken (heartbroken)
Or hungover from the night before
Turn that frown into a smile real quick (so quick)
It might take one or it might take six
Drink it down, it'll do the trick
Ain't nothing that a beer can't fix

Things You Do for Love

You'd move a mountain, move to New York
To a rundown apartment you can barely afford
Ditch all of your plans to follow her dream
Knowing it might work or fall apart at the seams

You just wanna see her smile
You just wanna see her happy
Just wanna make her happy

Things you do for love, things you do for love
Things you do for love
Things you do for love, things you do for love
Things you do for love
It's crazy

She'll buy you tickets to see a band she don't like
She'll watch you go crazy, she'll be beside you, rockin' all night
She'll say you look handsome in a suit that don't fit
She'll laugh at a joke that both of you know she don't even get

'Cause she just wants to see you smile
She just wants to see you happy
Just wants to make you happy, yeah

Things you do for love, things you do for love
Things you do for love
Things you do for love, things you do for love
Things you do for love
Give your last breath
Give your last name
Your umbrella in the pouring rain
Things you do for love, things you do for love
Things you do for love
It's crazy

She'll keep you grounded
She'll make you fly
She'll forgive you
Even though she already has a thousand times

Things you do for love, things you do for love
Things you do for love
Things you do for love (things you do for love), things you do for love
Things you do for love

Things you do for love, things you do for love
Things you do for love
Give your last breath
Give your last name
Your umbrella in the pouring rain
Things you do for love (things you do for love), things you do for love
Things you do for love
It's crazy

(Things you do for love) the things you do for love (things you do for love)
(Things you do for love) the things you do
Things you do for love, yeah
The things you do for love

Remember You Young

Hey buddies that I grew up with
All straight laced and married up now
You ain't foolin' me, wasn't long ago
We tore the roof off that one red light town

And hey darling sipping that red wine
All classy kicked back on the couch
You smile and I see you shootin' tequila
Or shuttin' them college bars down

And no matter how much time goes by
And no matter how much we grow up
For worse or for better, from now 'til forever
I'll always remember you young

Hey babies crawling on the carpet
No, you won't be that little for long
One day you'll move away but you're still gonna stay
This innocent after you're gone

'Cause no matter how much time goes by
And no matter how much you grow up
For worse or for better, from now 'til forever
I'll always remember you young

Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh

Yeah, I hope when we get to heaven
He looks at us all like we're kids
Shameless and painless and perfect and ageless
Forgives all the wrong that we did

And no matter how much time goes by
I hope we never have to grow up
And He'll say, "For worse or for better, from now 'til forever
I'll always remember you young"

Whoa, oh, oh
I'll always remember you young

Don't Stop Drivin'

She had a fire in her eyes
A wildflower in her hair
Like she'd been waiting outside
All day for me to get there
She had on then yellow dress
Her jean jacket over her shoulder
And she spun around for me
And the rest is history

She turned up the radio
As soon as she climbed in
Said, "I don't care where we go
As long as we're flying"
She looked over at me like
She'd never stop smiling
Said, "Whatever you do, babe
Just don't stop drivin' tonight"

But she started painting her toes
Right around 2 below
She asked "Are we getting close?"
I said "To where?", She said "I don't know"
She made me pull over
For a kiss at sundown
She wanted our picture
By the sign saying, "Elvis' Hometown"

She turned up the radio
As soon as she climbed in
Said, "I don't care where we go
As long as we're flying"
She looked over at me like
She'd never stop smiling
Said, "Whatever you do, babe
Just don't stop drivin' tonight"
(Oh) just don't stop drivin' tonight
(Oh)

We drove straight through the night
Just like we stole that car
I would've gone a million miles
'Cause she stole my heart when

She turned up the radio
As soon as she climbed in
Said, "I don't care where we go
As long as we're flying"
She looked over at me like
She'd never stop smiling
Said, "Whatever you do, babe
Just don't stop drivin' tonight"
Said, "Whatever you do, baby
Just don't stop drivin' tonight"
(Oh) (just don't stop)
Just don't stop drivin' tonight
(Oh)

She wanted to run away with me (oh)
And that was alright
And I just wanted to see (oh)
The world through her eyes

Barefoot

At a wedding or a party
At some downtown bar
It don't matter where we are, she's gon' shine
When her song comes on, you know it's over (yeah)
Even if she is completely sober

My baby's barefoot on the dancefloor
Spinnin' all around
Head up in the clouds
Feet barely touch the ground
Don't know why I bought 'em
Don't know why she brought 'em
Got her shoes up in her hand
Like she's somewhere in the sand
My baby's barefoot on the dancefloor
My baby's barefoot on the dancefloor

Ooh, ooh
I spent a lot of money on them high heels
For her to stick 'em in her purse
'Fore the band makes it through the first verse, yeah
I stand back and watch her go crazy (crazy)
I just laugh and say, "That's my baby", baby

My baby's barefoot on the dancefloor
Spinnin' all around
Head up in the clouds
Feet barely touch the ground
Don't know why I bought 'em
Don't know why she brought 'em
Got her shoes up in her hand
Like she's somewhere in the sand
My baby's barefoot on the dancefloor
My baby's barefoot on the dancefloor

Yeah, my baby's breakin' it down
My baby's goin' to town
Like she's never been to town before
Yeah, my baby's tearin' it up
My baby's stirrin' it up
As soon as she hits the floor (floor, floor)

Barefoot on the dance-floor, oh yeah, yeah

My baby's barefoot on the dancefloor (on the dancefloor)
Spinnin' all around
Head up in the clouds
Feet barely touch the ground
Don't know why I bought 'em
Don't know why she brought 'em
Got her shoes up in her hand
Like she's somewhere in the sand
My baby's barefoot on the dancefloor (barefoot on the dancefloor)
My baby's barefoot on the dancefloor (oh, oh)
(Barefoot on the dancefloor)

Dream You Never Had

Our Fridays are Mondays and our second home is on wheels
I told you I'd slow down but we both know I never will
Half of our nights, baby, we spend 'em sleepin' alone
"I gotta go", conversations, and raisin' our kids through the phone

I know it's been hard
I know it ain't easy
Oh, but I couldn't do one show without you
Oh, baby, believe me
Crowds have been crazy
But baby, I'm missing you bad
Just wanna say thank you for living this dream
I know you never had

I'm seeing the signs with your name written on in my mind (written on in my mind)
Spotlight's on me but they know you're the reason I shine (the reason I shine)
You married the music the day that you married me
Baby, I'm just a singer, and you are the songs that I sing

I know it's been hard
I know it ain't easy
Oh, but I couldn't do one show without you
Oh, baby, believe me
Crowds have been crazy
But baby, I'm missing you bad
Just wanna say thank you for living this dream
I know you never had one doubt

Even when I did you stuck it out
Baby, I see you in every town
Even when you're so far away

I know it's been hard
I know it ain't easy
Oh, but I couldn't do one show without you
Oh, baby, believe me
Crowds have been crazy
But baby, I'm missing you bad
Just wanna say thank you for living this dream
I know you never had
Just wanna say thank you for living this dream
I know you never had

Almost

When I got trucked on that old field, I almost quit that team
I almost gave up guitar 'cause it hurt to play those strings
When everybody told me, "No, man", I 'bout gave up on my dream
Almost let it go
I almost broke my leg riding dirt bike with no fear
I almost lost my best friend over some girl freshman year
I almost lost my license driving home after two beers
Almost, Lord knows
Oh, but when I look back now

Thank God for the almost
Thank God for the so close
Thank God for the night I came within an inch of that fence post
For the doors that opened
For ones that slam closed
Thank God for the girls I thought I'd marry, but left me heartbroke
Thank God for the highs
Thank God for the lows
Thank God for the almost

I almost got that tattoo on my back that said, "Delta Chi"
Almost didn't visit granddad a week before he died
I almost didn't kiss that girl, turned out to be my wife
Guess someone else had something else in mind

Thank God for the almost
Thank God for the so close
Thank God for the kick that came within an inch of that goalpost
For the doors that opened
For ones that slam closed
Thank God for the girls I thought I'd marry, but left me heartbroke
Thank God for the highs
Thank God for the lows
Thank God for the almost

Thank God for the almost
Thank God for the so close
Thank God for the right, not left, I took when I came to them crossroads
For the doors that opened
For ones that slam closed
Yeah, without 'em, where would I be? Man, I don't know
Thank God for the highs
Thank God for the lows
Thank God for the almost
Oh
Thank God for the almost
