Zac Brown Band - Greatest Hits So Far... Lyrics
Chicken Fried
You know I like my chicken fried
And cold beer on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up
Well, I was raised up beneath the shade of a Georgia pine, and that's home, you know
Sweet tea, pecan pie, and homemade wine, where the peaches grow
And my house, it's not much to talk about
But it's filled with love that's grown in southern ground
And a little bit of chicken fried
Cold beer on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up
I like to see the sunrise
See the love in my woman's eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother's love
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most
Not where you live, what you drive or the price tag on your clothes
There's no dollar sign on a peace of mind, this I've come to know
So if you agree, have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast
To a little bit of chicken fried
And cold beer on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up
I like to see the sunrise
See the love in my woman's eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother's love
I thank God for my life
And for the stars and stripes
May freedom forever fly
Let it ring
Salute the ones who died
The ones that give their lives
So we don't have to sacrifice
All the things we love
Like our chicken fried
And cold beer on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up
I like to see the sunrise
See the love in my woman's eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother's love
Get your little chicken fried
And cold beer on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up
I like to see the sunrise
See the love in my woman's eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother's love

Whatever It Is
She's got eyes that cut you like a knife and
Her lips that taste like sweet red wine
And her pretty legs go to heaven every time
She got a gentle way that puts me at ease
When she walks in the room I can hardly breathe
Got a devastating smile knock a grown man to his knees
She's got whatever it is
It blows me away
She's everything I want to say to a woman
But couldn't find the words to say
She's got whatever it is
I don't know what to do
And every time I try and tell her how I feel
It comes out "I love you"
You got whatever it is
You know I've never been the type that would ever want to stay
Bring 'em home at night and they're gone the next day
But that all changed when she walked into my life
And people ask me what it is
I tell them I don't know
There just something about the woman makes my heart go haywire
And She's gonna be my wife
She's got whatever it is
It blows me away
She's everything I want to say to a woman
But couldn't find the words to say
She's got whatever it is
I don't know what to do
Every time I try and tell her how I feel
It comes out "I love you"
You got whatever it is
Now when she love me
Girl that's how I feel
When she loves me I'm on top of the world
When she loves me I can live forever
When she loves me I am untouchable
She got whatever it is
It blows me away
She's everything I want to say to a woman
But couldn't find the words to say
She got whatever it is
I don't know what to do
Cuz every time I try and tell her how I feel
It comes out "I love you" I Do
You got whatever it is

Toes
I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand
Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
Life is good today, life is good today
Well, the plane touched down just about three o'clock
And the city's still on my mind
Bikinis and palm trees danced in my head
I was still in the baggage line
Concrete and cars are their own prison bars
Like this life I'm living in
But the plane brought me farther
I'm surrounded by water
And I'm not going back again
I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand
Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
Life is good today, life is good today
Adiós and vaya con Dios
Yeah, I'm leaving GA
And if it weren't for Tequila and pretty senoritas
I'd have no reason to stay
Adiós and vaya con Dios
Yeah, I'm leaving GA
Gonna lay in the hot sun and roll a big fat one
And grab my guitar and play
The four days flew by like a drunk Friday night
As the summer drew to an end
They can't believe that I just couldn't leave
And I bid adieu to my friends
Because my bartender she's from the islands
Her body's been kissed by the sun
And coconut replaces the smell of the bar
And I don't know if it's her or the Rum
I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand
Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
Life is good today, life is good today
Adiós and vaya con Dios
A long way from GA
Yes, and all the muchachas they call me Big Poppa
When I throw pesos their way
Adiós and vaya con Dios
A long way from GA
Someone do me a favor and pour me some Jäger
And I'll grab my guitar and play
Adiós and vaya con Dios
Going home now to stay
The senoritas don't care-o when there's no dinero
Yeah, I got no money to stay
Adiós and vaya con Dios
Going home now to stay
(Just gonna prop up by the lake)
And put my ass in a lawn chair
Toes in the clay
Not a worry in the world a PBR on the way
Life is good today
Life is good today

Highway 20 Ride
I ride east every other Friday but if I had it my way
A day would not be wasted on this drive
And I want so bad to hold you
Son, there's things I haven't told you
Your mom and me couldn't get along
So I'll drive
And I'll think about my life and wonder why
That I slowly die inside
Every time I turn that truck around right at the Georgia line
And I count the days and the miles back home to you
On that Highway 20 ride
A day might come you'll realize that if you see through my eyes
There was no other way to work it out
And a part of you might hate me
But son, please don't mistake me
For the man that didn't care at all
And I'll drive
And I'll think about my life and wonder why
That I slowly die inside
Every time I turn that truck around right at the Georgia line
And I count the days and the miles back home to you
On that Highway 20 ride
So when you drive and the years go flying by
I hope you smile if I ever cross your mind
It was a pleasure of my life and I cherished every time
And my whole world it begins and ends with you
On that Highway 20 ride
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, 20 ride
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, 20 ride
Whoa-oh-oh-oh (highway 20 ride)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh (and I'll ride)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

As Shes Walking Away
feat. Alan Jackson
We never spoke a word but every thought she had I heard from across the room.
We were standing face to face I couldn't find the words to say, give me one more move.
I don't even know her name. I guess foolish pride's to blame
Chorus
Now I'm fallin' in love as she's walking away
And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say.
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day, now I'm fallin' in love as she's walking away.
Wise man next to me did say about the one that got away, son I missed my chance.
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase, ask her to dance...go on son. You might fall down on your
face. Roll the dice and have some faith.
Chorus(2)
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walking away, when your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say.
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day, don't be fallin' in love, as she's walking away.
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith.
Chorus(2)
And don't be fallin' in love as she's walking away, when your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should
say. May have lost this battle, live to fight another day, don't be fallin', fallin' in, fallin' in love, as she's walking
away.

Colder Weather
She'd trade Colorado if he'd take her with him,
Closes the door before the winter lets the cold in,
And wonders if her love is strong enough to make him stay,
She's answered by the tail lights
Shining through the window pane
(Chorus)
He said I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then
She said you're a ramblin' man
And you ain't ever gonna change
You gotta gypsy soul to blame
And you were born for leavin'
At a truck stop diner just outside of Lincoln,
The night is black as the coffee he was drinkin',
And in the waitress' eyes he sees the same 'ol light a shinin',
He thinks of Colorado
And the girl he left behind him
(Chorus)
He said I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then
She said you're a ramblin' man
And you ain't ever gonna change
You got a gypsy soul to blame
And you were born for leavin'(born for leavin')
Well it's a winding road
When your in the lost and found
You're a lover I'm a runner
And we go 'round 'n 'round
And I love you but I leave you
I don't want you but I need you
You know it's you that calls me back here baby
Oh I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then
Cause I'm a ramblin' man
I ain't ever gonna change (I ain't ever gonna change)
Gotta gypsy soul to blame
And I was born for leavin' (born for leavin')
And when I close my eyes I see you
No matter where I am
I can smell your perfume through these whispering pines
I'm with your ghost again
It's a shame about the weather
But I know soon we'll be together
And I can't wait till then
I can't wait till then

Knee Deep
Gonna put the world away for a minute
Pretend I don't live in it
Sunshine gonna wash my blues away
Had sweet love but I lost it
She got too close so I fought it
Now I'm lost in the world tryin' to find me a better way
Wishin' I was
Knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky, breeze and it don't seem fair
Only worry in the world
Is the tide gonna reach my chair
Sunrise, there's a fire in the sky
Never been so happy
Never felt so high
And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise
Wrote a note, said "Be back in a minute"
Bought a boat and I sailed off in it
Don't think anybody's gonna miss me anyway
Mind on a permanent vacation
The ocean is my only medication
Wishin' my condition ain't ever gonna go away
'Cause now I'm knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky breeze blowin' wind through my hair
Only worry in the world
Is the tide gonna reach my chair
Sunrise, there's a fire in the sky
Never been so happy
Never felt so high
And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise
This champagne shore washin' over me
It's a sweet sweet life livin' by the salty sea
One day you could be as lost as me
Change your geography and maybe you might be
Knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky breeze blowin' wind through my hair
Only worry in the world
Is the tide gonna reach my chair
Sunrise, there's a fire in the sky
Never been so happy
Never felt so high
And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise
Come on in
The water's nice
Find yourself a little slice
Grab a bag, pack it light
You'll never know until you try
When you lose yourself
You find the key to paradise

Keep Me In Mind
How come all the pretty girls like you are taken baby
I've been looking for someone like you to save me
Life's too easy to be so damn complicated
Take your time and I'll be waitin'
Chorus:
Keep me in mind
Somewhere down the road you might get lonely
Keep me in mind
And I pray someday that you will love me only
I think about you somedays
And the way I would lay wastin' day after day with you
We always go our separate ways
But no one can love you baby the way I do
Chorus:
Keep me in mind
Somewhere down the road you might get lonely
Keep me in mind
And I pray someday that you will love me only
Bridge:
Well the world can be real tough
Find shelter in me
If there's no one else to love
Keep me in mind
If ever you wanted me, I'll be your man
I'd be a fool to let you go with someone else
Whatever you want from me, I'll be your man
I'd give it all up just to have you for myself
Chorus:
Keep me in mind
Somewhere down the road you might get lonely
Keep me in mind
And I pray someday that you will love me only
Well the world can be real tough
Why don't you hold on to me
When there's no one else to love
Keep me in mind
(Keep me in mind)
And I'll hold you darling
(Keep me in mind)
I'll be your man
(Keep me in mind)
I'll hold you darling
(Keep me in mind)
C'mon little mama
Put it on me

No Hurry
You know my old car needs washing
And the front yard needs a trim
And the telephone keeps ringing
And the bossman knows I know its him
And the bills ain't gonna pay themselves
No matter anyway
Cause I ain't in no hurry today
There's nothing wrong with an old cane fishing pole
And the smell of early spring
Sit down in a fold-up easy chair
On a quiet shady river bank
Let the world go on without me
Wouldn't have it any other way
Cause I ain't in no hurry today
Ain't in no hurry
I'd Be a fool now to worry
About all those things I can't change
And the time that I borrow
Can wait till tomorrow
Cause I ain't in no hurry today
When I must return
To the cold cold ground
Have 'em take their time
When they lay this sinner down
Heaven knows that I ain't perfect
I've raised a little cain
And I plan to raise a whole lot more
Before I hear those angels sing
(Gonna get right with the lord)
But there'll be hell to pay
But I ain't in no hurry
Ain't in no hurry
Be a fool now to worry
About all those things I can't change
And the time that I borrow
Can wait till tomorrow
Cause I ain't in no hurry
Ain't in no hurry
Ain't in no hurry today

The Wind
Thirty thousand feet above
The city where I fell in love with you
And the fading country skyline
Brings an urban lullaby
That still rings true
When I passed you on the street that day
Shoulda let that rest gon' fly away
Like any chance I had of keeping you
Like the Northern wind a blowin'
Yeah, my lonely heart is frozen
Never knew I'd find a way to break yours too
Where the wind blows babe
You can bet
I'll be riding high with it
Holding on for my dear life
Just like I always did
Close your eyes babe
Take a breath, say my name
And I'll be there
My love will find you anywhere
Anywhere my love
The city lights look like a country sky
Like staring at the stars turned upside down
I wish I may, I wish I might
Find it in your heart to stick around
I hate it had to end this way
Tomorrow is a brand new day
And the chances here at love
Are precious few
If someone's out there waiting
For a sweet good timin' lady
To make you smile the way I always wanted to
Where the wind blows babe
You can bet
I'll be riding high with it
Holding on for my dear life
Just like I always did
Close your eyes babe
Take a breath, say my name
And I'll be there
My love will find you anywhere
Anywhere my love
So I fly all night
Our memory's my lullaby that love won't lie
If it's love done right
You'll be waiting on the other side
Arms open wide
If love don't lie, lie
We can fly
Where the wind blows babe
You can bet
I'll be riding high with it
Holding on for my dear life
Just like I always did
Close your eyes babe
Take a breath, say my name
And I'll be there
My love will find you anywhere
Anywhere
My love will find you anywhere
Anywhere
My love will find you anywhere
Anywhere
My love

Jump Right In
The Southern wind sings again an island lullaby
Baby powder beach under my feet has got me rolling
And the breeze through crackling leaves like a daytime campfire burning
And the ship is off to sea
And the wake is a churning
As the Southern wind sings again an island lullaby
You can jump right in
Let the music pull you in
You can jump right in
Oh and lose yourself again
As the Southern wind sings again a island lullaby
There's a place the locals go and no one knows where to find it
And the river starts to flow inside the clouds of Misty Mountain
The water from this stone below becomes a blue-green fountain
As the Southern wind sings again an island lullaby
You can jump right in
Let the music pull you in
You can jump right in
Oh and lose yourself again
As the Southern wind sings again an island lullaby
La la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la
You can find me where the music meets the ocean
If you get the notion
Stop on by and play a while
Simple tune to get your love light glowing
Keep your heart wide open
Disappear just like the tide
Let it roll on by
And jump right in
Let the music pull you in
You can jump right in
Oh and lose yourself again
As the Southern wind sings again an island lullaby
The Southern wind sings again an island lullaby
Island lullaby

Goodbye In Her Eyes
I could tell that it was over
When her lips met mine
It was an emptiness in her voice
Hesitation when she smiled
She didn't have to say a word
It was just so plain to see
She had found what she'd been looking for
And I knew it wasn't me
I saw goodbye in her eyes
I don't think I can change it
There's no way to disguise
We will never make it
Sometimes I feel like a clown
Who can't wash off his make-up
The life she wanted - it was gone
Prince Charming - I wasn't
But I would trade a thousand Babylons
To be in her arms tomorrow
But like the tide her love has come and gone
And it's time for me to go
I saw goodbye in her eyes
I don't think I can change it
There's no way to disguise
We will never make it
Now she sees right through me
Should I hold on to what we've got
Is it just a waste of time?
One thing that I know for sure
I saw goodbye in her eyes
I saw goodbye in her eyes
I know you got somebody new now
All my candles have burned out
He's gonna love the way you shine
So did I
So don't smile at me if it ain't what you mean
(Goodbye)
With that goodbye in your eyes
I know that I can't change it (now you see right through me)
There's no way to disguise
We will never make it
I saw goodbye in your eyes
I know that I can't change it (now you see right through me, goodbye in your eyes!)
Should I hold on
We will never make it (now you see right through me, goodbye in your eyes!)
Should I hold on
Is it just a waste of time?
One thing that I know for sure
I saw goodbye in your eyes
I saw goodbye in your eyes
I know that it's over

Sweet Annie
I've been burning bright
For so long I can't remember
Pretty girls and late night bars seem to be my line of work
Believe me when I say, I can't stay this high forever
This man's had all he can stand, time to lay this body down
Sweet Annie
Can I stay with you a while
'Cause this road's been putting miles on my heart
Sweetheart I've been livin' in a fantasy
But one day lightning will strike
And my bark will lose its bite
But don't give up on me
Sweet (sweet) Annie
Sweet Annie
I know I promised you a life
But with an empty bed and the words I said don't carry any weight
If I could take back yesterday, find a way to start it over
I'd turn around, put that bottle down and I'd pray it's not too late
Sweet Annie
Can I stay with you a while
'Cause this road's been putting miles on my heart
Sweetheart I've been livin' in a fantasy
But one day lightning will strike
And my bark will lose its bite
But don't give up on me
What will be will be
Sweet (sweet) Annie
Turn out the lights
These hands they long to hold you
Fall all over you
All over again
Come a little closer so I can show you
My heart still beats fast for you
All over, and over again
Sweet Annie
Can I stay with you a while
'Cause this road's been putting miles on my heart
Sweetheart I've been livin' in a fantasy
But one day lightning will strike
And my bark will lose its bite
But don't give up on me
Sweet (sweet) Annie
