There Goes the Weekend

I was gonna go shoppin’ on Friday night
Cause there’s nothin’ in my fridge but that little light
A bottle of water and a couple of condiments
I was gonna hit the gym on Saturday
Maybe call that number that my mama gave me
For the daughter of one of her yoga friends
But my buddy just told me that he’s got a keg
There’s a party goin’ on down by the lake
He’s callin’ all the girls--even the Johnson twins
(chorus)
There goes the weekend—so much for my big plans
I’ve got good intentions but a really short attention span
I’m like a little dog when he sees a squirrel
When somebody starts talkin’ ‘bout beer and girls
And the way things are lookin’ it’s all gonna happen again
There goes the weekend
I was gonna spend Sunday cleaning the house
Go see Grandma maybe take her out
For a drive in the country and call it an early night
Now there’s a whole ‘nother option I need to consider
And to tell you the truth it sounds a lot better
Do I have a little fun—or do I do what’s right
(chorus)

My First Time
03:14
|

My dad said “be back by ten”, and handed me the keys
My first time with the guys , Without him in the front seat
With the windows down, the radio loud, Fellas hangin out the side
We shouted at all the girls and didn’t read the speed limit signs
I took that tight turn way too fast
Tires screeched, and just like that
My first time was over and done, nobody had fun
Never felt so scared or dumb, I think I cried
I didn’t say one word riding with the cops
When I got dropped off
Dad said he loved me no matter what
That was my first time
She looked good, I knew she would, an angel in blue jeans
My first time with a girl all alone in the back seat
My heart was racing, my hands were shaking as we took turns shedding clothes
I wanted to do it right But had no clue how and no hope
I tried so hard not to get distracted
By her touch and just like that
My first time was over and done, nobody had fun
Never felt so scared or dumb, I think I cried
I didn’t say one word driving down the block
When I dropped her off
She said she loved me no matter what
That was my first time
When it comes to driving and other stuff, I’ve come a long way
So I can laugh when I look back and say “just like that”
My first time was over and done, Nobody had fun
Never felt so scared or dumb, I think I cried
You only get one first chance, one first shot
Just be glad you got
Someone to love you no matter what
Right from the first time

A Set of Keys

Are you the one who called about my Honda
Suppose you’re probably wondering why I’m selling, don’t worry it runs fine
See her and I, we bought this car together
And since she’ll never jump in that front seat again, I don’t want this ride
We drove from Mississippi, straight across to the Pacific
Fogged up the backseat windows too many times to count
Got stuck one night it snowed, had to hold each other close
Didn’t think we’d make it out
It’s not just a set of keys, but 10000 memories that I’m selling you
As long as I’ve got this car, she’ll always have my heart I’m telling you
It’s not just a set of keys
Once got pulled over smoking up and speeding
Cop didn’t stand a chance, we got off easy, all she had to do was smile
Ran out of gas somewhere out in the desert
Fell asleep on the hood trying to count the stars in the sky
When we were strapped for cash, this thing helped us dine and dash
I’ve never laughed as hard as we tore off cross the sand
I drove all night and woke her as the sun lit up the coast
Slipped that ring upon her hand
CHORUS
Are we doing this or not?
Cuz I’m having second thoughts
Now’s your last chance, yes or no
Too late, I can’t let it go
CHORUS

A Million
03:11

One star can’t light up the sky
Like a blanket of ‘em on a cool, clear night
one drop from a summer rain
Can’t save a dying field of grain
And girl it’s kinda like that with you
Cuz there ain’t one thing I love about you
ain’t one thing that gives me that feeling
It’s the whole nine yards, it’s the sum of the parts
It’s the full shebang girl just how you are
There ain’t one thing, there’s a million
One kiss I could live off of
It’s all I need and never enough
One time I tried to count
But had to give up when I ran out of words
To describe what it is about you
CHORUS
If you ever doubt yourself pretty girl like there ain’t a single thing
That makes you stand out from the rest of the world, I’d agree
CHORUS

Seven Beers Deep
03:05

I came on out to the local cantina
There she was, the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen, ya
Sun kissed skin, eyes like a dream
There’s no way she’d want a guy like me
So I’m fighting my fear with my only defense
One more shot of liquid confidence
It’s nine o clock and I’m seven beers deep
Findin’ the nerve to go buy her a drink
I’ve walked right by ‘bout a hundred times
Practicing my best pickup lines
My limit’s 10, then I’m over the edge
So I gotta take that leap while I’m 7 beers deep
Swayin’ under the lights, she caught my eye
I could’ve sworn that she gave me a smile
So I grabbed my beer and a rum n’ coke
Headed on over and I got so close
Opened my mouth, but nothing came out
So before she turned around, I downed ‘em both
CHORUS
I lost all hope, but what do you know?
She stumbles up to me and stammers
Honey what’s wrong, why you taking so long?
I’ve been waitin’ over here …. Gettin’ hammered
She says, it’s eleven o’clock and I’m seven beers deep
Been waitin’ for you to come buy me a drink
You’ve staggered on by bout’ a hundred times
Practicing those cute pickup lines
It’s getting late, next time don’t wait
Go on and take that leap before you’re seven beers deep

If You've Got Nothin' On
03:14

Good morning’ beautiful, hope you're still at home
I got up early, thought I’d try your phone
This week’s been brutal; clockin’ overtime
I’d like to leave that all behind
Could you do a little somethin’ for me?
Grab your calendar and take a peek?
If you’ve got nothin’ on, let’s make plans
If you’ve got nothin’ on, I’m your man
If you’ve been workin’ a lot, just feel like takin’ it off
And spend the day gettin’ laid back
Gimme a call if you’ve got nothin’ on
Don’t lift a finger now, leave it to me instead
I’ve got a bottle chilled, how ‘bout breakfast in bed?
Forget the lipstick, don’t bother with your blush
There’s nothin’ you should cover up
I think you know what I’ve got in mind
We’ll get lucky if you’ve got some time
CHORUS
Call up your boss, say you’re under the weather
When you and I hook up, you’ll be feeling so much better
CHORUS
Cuz I’ve got nothin’ on
