Carolyn's Boy (2023)












Beers And Sunshine lyrics - Darius Rucker

Well, I ain't gonna work today
Just wanna sit around and play
Gonna hit balls off the dock
Kick back in my flip-flops
Don't owe nothing to the lender
Nothing spinning in the blender
The only thing on my agenda is

Beers and sunshine
Bonfires and summertime
Back porch nights in South Carolina
Ain't nothing finer than me and my girl striking up a little lighter
'Cause everybody's down in a world gone crazy
Don't know how to fix it but I think maybe
Turn on the good times, turn off the TV
Yeah, the only BS I need is beers and sunshine

Gonna call my girl and say
Let's get our friends and hit the lake
Grab a boat and get to floating
A little buzzed and a little toasted
We're gonna hang and have a little fun now
Flying high like we'll never come down
We're gonna roll until we run out of

Beers and sunshine
Bonfires and summertime
Back porch nights in South Carolina
Ain't nothing finer than me and my girl striking up a little lighter
'Cause everybody's down in a world gone crazy
Don't know how to fix it but I think maybe
Turn on the good times, turn off the TV
Yeah, the only BS I need is beers and sunshine

Oh, beers and sunshine, oh

Beers and sunshine
Bonfires and summertime
Back porch nights in South Carolina
Ain't nothing finer than me and my girl striking up a little lighter
'Cause everybody's down in a world gone crazy
Don't know how to fix it but I think maybe
Turn on the good times, turn off the TV
Yeah, the only BS I need is beers and sunshine

Oh, beers and sunshine
Beers and sunshine
Bonfires and summertime, time, time
Oh, oh oh, yeah

In This Together lyrics - Darius Rucker

We're all in
All in
All in this together

You do you
I'll do me
Same kinda different ain't a bad thing
Live your truth
Dream your dreams
Everybody got their own harmony to sing

Don't matter if you're big city living or a little more po-dunk small town
We all got a ticket on this big rock spinning, and the ride ain't slowing down

We're all in
All in
All in this together
Whether we're flying or falling
Or pulling that good time lever
Bring your wild, bring your crazy, bring your what-the-hell weird
Life ain't a party if we ain't all here
We're all in
All in
All in this together

People say haters hate
Others sing, "There's gonna be a change"
So raise a glass
Shake a hand
Live it up while you still can
It ain't that hard to understand

We're all in
All in
All in this together
Whether we're flying or falling
Or pulling that good time lever
Bring your wild, bring your crazy, bring your what-the-hell weird
Life ain't a party if we ain't all here
We're all in
All in
All in this together, yeah

I thank the Man above
For giving me so many people to love
And it ain't you or me, it's us
And that's what makes it better, oh

We're all in
All in
All in this together
Whether we're flying, falling
Or pulling that good time lever
Bring your wild, bring your crazy, bring your what-the-hell weird
Life ain't a party if we ain't all here
We're all in
All in
All in this together, yeah

All in this together, yeah
You do you and I'll do me
And it's okay if we disagree
But we're all in
All in
All in this together

Never Been Over lyrics - Darius Rucker

We've been good and bad, hot and cold
And fightin' mad, solid gold
Been sunny days, straight-line wind
Been driven slow and guilty as sin

Been back-roads lost and blue-lights found
Dead of quiet, rock-star loud
Been up and down like we're built on springs
We've been a lot of things

But we've never been splittin' up friends, splittin' up records
Puttin' up walls, burnin' down letters
Grass is greener 'cause there's something better
Waitin' down the line

We've never been a headlights-weaving, taillights-fadin'
So long, move on, goodbye-waitin'
Never been one last long look across your shoulder
We've been a lot of things, but we've never been over

We've been two pink lines to up all night
Brake on the left, gas on the right
Been 18 years around the sun
Knowing that day would come

But we've never been splittin' up friends, splittin' up records
Puttin' up walls, burnin' down letters
Grass is greener 'cause there's something better
Waitin' down the line

We've never been a headlights-weaving, taillights-fadin'
So long, move on, goodbye-waitin'
Never been one last long look across your shoulder
We've been a lot of things, but we've never been over

We've been holdin' onto love so long
That we don't know how to run

But we've never been splittin' up friends, splittin' up records
Puttin' up walls, burnin' down letters
Grass is greener 'cause there's something better
Waitin' down the line

We've never been a headlights-weaving, taillights-fadin'
So long, move on, goodbye-waitin'
Never been one last long look across your shoulder
We've been a lot of things
We've been a lot of things
We've been a lot of things, but we've never been over

Fires Don't Start Themselves lyrics - Darius Rucker

We don't get too many nights
All alone peace and quiet
Call it busy, call it a life
And I don't tell you near enough
Just how much I'm missing us
And making that temperature rise
But girl, I'm gonna show you tonight

So, let's drink what's left of this
Bottle of wine
Move a little closer
Till the sparks start flyin'
Turn the lights down low
And pull the Conway off of the shelf
Then we'll dance through the kitchen
And straight down the hall
Let my old blue jeans
And your sundress fall
Girl, we're holding the lighter
And fires don't start themselves

Girl, I wanna take my time
Love you slow, love you right
Shadows dancing on the wall
Your lips, your hips, your fingertips
Every inch of you just fits
Like the shirt that I got on
Gonna love you, baby, all night long

So, let's drink what's left of this
Bottle of wine
Move a little closer
Till the sparks start flyin'
Turn the lights down low
And pull the Conway off of the shelf
Then we'll dance through the kitchen
And straight down the hall
Let my old blue jeans
And your sundress fall
Girl, we're holding the lighter
And fires don't start themselves
Naw, fires don't start themselves

Naw, there ain't no putting it out
Might just burn this whole place down
Starting right now

So, let's drink what's left of this
Bottle of wine
Move a little closer
Till the sparks start flyin'
Turn the lights down low
And pull the Conway off of the shelf
Then we'll dance through the kitchen
And straight down the hall
Let my old blue jeans
And your sundress fall
Girl, we're holding the lighter
And fires don't start themselves
Naw, no, fires don't start themselves

Ol' Church Hymn lyrics - Darius Rucker (feat. Chapel Hart)

Gettin' lost was all I could find
On the wrong road, just lookin' for signs
All kinds of broke and livin' my life
In the dark 'til I saw the light

It's like I went down to the river
The first time I saw your face
Where would I be if I missed your
Sweet, amazing grace

You soothe my soul like an ol' church hymn
Found in the book in the back of a pew
Born again love, I'm a new person
Hands in the air, hallelujah
Amen, amen, amen
Amen, amen, amen
You soothed my soul like an ol' church hymn
Amen

Now no matter how bad it seems
You're there like a prayer, just settin' me free
You're my rock, you're my blessing
Thank God, you're the best thing
That's ever happened to me

You soothe my soul like an ol' church hymn
Found in the book in the back of a pew
Born again love, I'm a new person
Hands in the air, hallelujah
Amen, amen, amen
Amen, amen, amen
You soothed my soul like an ol' church hymn
Amen

You love me just the way I am
Lead me to the promise land
You're my sweet, by and by

You soothe my soul like an ol' church hymn
Found in the book in the back of a pew
Born again love, I'm a new person
Hands in the air, hallelujah
Amen, amen, amen
Amen, amen, amen
You soothe my soul like an ol' church hymn
Amen

Amen, amen, amen
Amen, amen, amen
You soothe my soul like an ol' church hymn
Amen

Amen, amen, amen
Amen, amen, amen
You soothe my soul like an ol' church hymn
Amen

7 Days lyrics - Darius Rucker

If I could have Monday, I'd be alright
If I could forget you for one Friday night
Wake up on Sunday, you not be my church
Just need one day to handle this hurt
But it's

One drink, one shot, there at the bar
I see two people dancin' out in the dark
It's that 3 in the morning telephone call
That I wanna make, staring at these four walls
Then it's 5 o'clock, gettin' off work all alone
Kick back with a six-pack but your memory ain't gone
I think maybe that I'd be okay
If I wasn't seeing your face
7 days

One Saturday tailgate, one football game
One day in the country, one drive in the rain
Just 24 hours of not feeling blue
But how can I get over you
When it only takes

One drink, one shot, there at the bar
I see two people dancin' out in the dark
It's that 3 in the morning telephone call
That I wanna make, staring at these four walls
Then it's 5 o'clock, gettin' off work all alone
Kick back with a six-pack but your memory ain't gone
I think maybe that I'd be okay
If I wasn't seeing your face
7 days

I've been tryin' to forget you one day at a time
But tryin' can't get you off of my mind
But it's

One drink, one shot, there at the bar
I see two people dancin', dancin' in the dark
It's that 3 in the morning a telephone call
That I wanna make, staring at these four walls
Then it's 5 o'clock, gettin' off work all alone
Kick back with a six-pack but your memory ain't gone
I think maybe that I'd be okay
If I wasn't seeing your face
7 days

Every day, every day, 7 days
Seeing your face

Same Beer Different Problem lyrics - Darius Rucker

You got your cars without drivers, traffic's getting worse
We're racin' off to space, just to get away from Earth
Three G, four G, five G, getting even further from the OG
Granny's eatin' gummies, mama's online
All I know for sure is we've all lost our minds
A little bit funny, a lotta bit strange
But at the end of the day

It's the same beer, different problem
Maybe this next round will solve 'em
Maybe the answer's down at the bottom
Of a cool libation and some friendly conversation
Tonight with some brand new friends
Ain't no doubt, we can figure it out again
Raise 'em up if you got 'em
Same beer, a different problem

Everybody gets a trophy, but no one gets a pass
If it don't make you cry, the news will make you laugh
See change, be the change, bartender keep the change
Line 'em up again, line 'em up again
I think we're gettin' somewhere here

It's the same beer, different problem
Maybe this next round will solve 'em
Maybe the answer's down at the bottom
Of a cool libation and some friendly conversation
Tonight with some brand new friends
Ain't no doubt, we can figure it out again
Raise 'em up if you got 'em
Same beer, a different problem

Underneath these neon lights
Everybody's wrong, everybody's right
Happy hour, any day, every day
Ends up winding up the same way

It's the same beer, different problem
Maybe this next round will solve 'em
I see the answer down at the bottom
Of a cool libation and some friendly conversation
Tonight with some brand new friends
Ain't no doubt, we can figure it out again
Raise 'em up if you got 'em
Same beer, a different problem
Oh, same beer, a different problem
Mmm, same beer, different problem

Sara lyrics - Darius Rucker

Sara, I know it's been 'bout 30 years since I heard from you
Are you still down in Fort Lauderdale?
And does your daddy still think I'm bad for you?
Young, young hearts never grow old, never get tired, but I'm not lookin' for love
Oh no

It don't matter if you're married
It don't matter if you're settled down
It don't matter if you're five kids deep on a dead-end street
In the middle of town
I don't wanna be your lover
I don't wanna be your man
I just wanna sit and talk to you
'Til the day is through
Like we're thirteen again
I ain't lookin' for a one-night
I'm just lookin' for a friend

Sara, somehow it didn't feel right for me to call you up
And I've been tryin' for a long time, I know
But I know how you're doin' just didn't seem good enough
Torn apart when were young
We were just children, has time changed who you are?
If so

It don't matter if you're married
It don't matter if you're settled down
It don't matter if you're five kids deep on a dead-end street
In the middle of town
I don't wanna be your lover
I don't wanna be your man
I just wanna sit and talk to you
'Til the day is through
Like we're thirteen again
I ain't lookin' for a one-night
I'm just lookin' for a friend now

Well, lately, I have been thinkin' about you
What in the world, has this life passed us by?
So if you hear me, my old friend Sara

It don't matter if you're married
It don't matter if you're settled down
It don't matter if you're five kids deep on a dead-end street
In the middle of town
I don't wanna be your lover
I don't wanna be your man
I just wanna sit and talk to you
'Til the day is through
Like we're thirteen again
I ain't lookin' for a one-night
I'm just lookin' for a friend now

I ain't lookin' for a one-night
I'm just lookin' for my friend, oh

Have A Good Time lyrics - Darius Rucker

Been running this road, both feet on the gas
Working too hard, going too fast
Till life reminded me I had to slow it on down

Instead of worrying about things I can't change
Gonna lay in the sun and dance in the rain
Do a little more living right here in the here and now
And figure out how

Have a few hell yeahs
Have some back porch hallelujahs
Sipping on a sunset
Where the good Lord's talking to you

Ride the lows, chase the highs
Fall in love and love this life
Place your bets, no regrets
And don't forget to have a good time

Yeah, breathe it all out, take all in
Gonna call up a couple of good old friends
And along the way maybe make a few more

Take a second chance on the chances I missed
Put a few new checks on the bucket list
Hey y'all, ain't that all what we're living for?

To have a few hell yeahs (hell yeahs)
Have some back porch hallelujahs
Sipping on a sunset (sipping on a sunset)
Where the good Lord's talking to you

Ride the lows, chase the highs
Fall in love and love this life (this life)
Place your bets, no regrets
And don't forget to have a good time
Yeah, have a good time

Just my 2 cents, maybe ain't worth much
But it just might be enough

Don't forget to make it count
Don't forget to sing out loud
Don't forget the salt and lime
And don't forget to have a damn good time

And have a few hell yeahs (hell yeahs)
Have some back porch hallelujahs (hallelujahs)
Sipping on a sunset (sipping on a sunset)
Where the good Lord's talking to you (Amen)

Ride the lows (ride the lows), chase the highs (chase the highs)
Fall in love and love this life (that's right)
Place your bets, no regrets
Don't forget to have a good time
(Have a good time, have a good time)
(Have a good time, have a good time)
Have a good time (have a good time, have a good time)
Come on, come on, say it with me now (gave a good time, have a good time)

(Have a good time)

Sure Would Have Loved Her lyrics - Darius Rucker

It felt like forever just like this to me
Like the world was spinnin' for just her and me
I don't know why she's gone but for all that it's worth
Man, I sure woulda loved her

I sure woulda loved wakin' up to her smile
And layin' down beside her for the rest of my life
She stole my heart and turned into a ghost
But that ain't the part that hurts me the most
Man, I sure woulda loved her
Damn, wish I coulda loved her

She woulda picked up the phone and she woulda known
I was callin' to give her the world
Now she's in the wind and I still feel the thunder
Man, I sure woulda loved her

I sure woulda loved wakin' up to her smile
And layin' down beside her for the rest of my life
She stole my heart and turned into a ghost
But that ain't the part that hurts me the most
Man, I sure woulda loved her, oh
Damn, wish I coulda loved her

I don't know why or if I even care
When I close my eyes, she's still standin' there
I'd still let her sweetheart darken my door
Man, I sure woulda loved her
Damn, wish I coulda loved her

Southern Comfort lyrics - Darius Rucker

Mississippi rollin' like the tide in Alabama
Lynchburg tea in Tennessee on down to Louisiana
Sippin' on Kentucky I got Georgia on my mind
Take me back to Carolina when the Lord says it's my time

That gentle breeze makes me think I'm three sheets to the wind
When the fireflies light me up right makes the whole world spin
If sunsets were like whiskey, man, I'd be seeing double
Ain't nothing in this bottle gets me drunk as Southern Comfort

Corn in rows on gravel roads and supper on the stove
Hayride and the Opry on the AM radio
We call our mothers mama and call our buddies brother
Football's king on Saturday, Jesus on the others

That gentle breeze makes me think I'm three sheets to the wind
When the fireflies light me up right makes the whole world spin
If sunsets were like whiskey, man, I'd be seeing double
Ain't nothing in this bottle gets me drunk as Southern Comfort
Southern Comfort

Can't uproot your roots from half the boots that's in your bones
Born out in the country, country road take me home

That gentle breeze makes me think I'm three sheets to the wind
When the fireflies light me up right makes the whole world spin
If sunsets were like whiskey, man, I'd be seeing double
Ain't nothing in this bottle gets me drunk as Southern Comfort
Southern Comfort

3 am In Carolina lyrics - Darius Rucker

It's midnight in California
Been drinkin' all day with my friends
We met a group of pretty girls from Georgia
A couple guys from Amsterdam
It was all night or use my discretion
So I slipped out and slipped on home
I was just gonna leave you a message
But I was so damn glad you picked up the phone 'cause

Right now, I'm spinnin' like a barstool
Right now, I'm missin' your pretty smile
In the back of a cab in the carpool lane
Goin' insane 'cause it's been a while
Since I told you that I love you, and I still do
Wish I was layin' right beside ya
Just had to let you know, but I'll let you go
I know it's 3 am in Carolina

Since I got you, there's some things that I wanna say
I didn't wanna leave you, didn't make me wanna stay
Don't get me wrong, I made you cry more than I made you laugh
If I didn't, I wouldn't be here saying that

Right now, I'm spinnin' like a barstool
Right now, I'm missin' your pretty smile
In the back of a cab in the carpool lane
Goin' insane 'cause it's been a while
Since I told you that I love you, and I still do
Wish I was layin' right beside ya
Just had to let you know, but I'll let you go
I know it's 3 am in Carolina

Uh, 3 am in Carolina
Oh yeah, now

Right now, I'm wantin' you so bad
Right now, I really wanna change my life
Right now, I'm thinkin' 'bout takin' that
Get you back on the next LAX red-eye flight

Right now, I'm spinnin' like a barstool
Right now, I'm missin' your pretty smile
In the back of a cab in the carpool lane
Goin' insane 'cause it's been a while
Since I told you that I love you, and I still do
Wish I was layin' right beside ya
Just had to let you know, but I'll let you go
I know it's 3 am in Carolina

It's 3 am in Carolina
Yeah

It's midnight in California
I've been drinkin' all day with my friends now, oh

Lift Me Up lyrics - Darius Rucker

Lift me up
Hold me down
Keep me close
Safe and sound
Burning in a hopeless dream
Hold me when you go to sleep
Keep me in the warmth of your love
When you depart, keep me safe
Safe and sound

Lift me up
Hold me down
Keep me close
Safe and sound
Drowning in an endless sea
Take some time and stay with me
Keep me in the strength of your arms
Keep me safe
Safe and sound

Lift me up
Hold me down
Keep me safe
Safe and sound
Burning in a hopeless dream
Hold me when you go to sleep
Keep me safe
We need light, we need love

Lift me up
Hold me down
Keep me safe
Safe and sound
Lift me up
Hold me down
Keep me close
Safe and sound

Stargazing lyrics - Darius Rucker

Red wine, truck bed, and a blanket
Blue jeans, sun beams, faded
Summer nights, fireflies, staying
Right here with you
It's a hell of a view

Let's go

Stargazing
Got my heart racing
Under that moon
Looking at you
Between the stars in the sky and your eyes
I'm stargazing

Radio playing soft and steady
Take my hand, darling, if you're ready
We can dance all night in the headlight of the Chevy

Let's go

Stargazing
Got my heart racing
Under that moon
Looking at you
Between the stars in the sky and your eyes
I'm stargazing

The sun in your smile
The way you make me wanna stay here awhile
Just stargazing
Stargazing

Stargazing
Got my heart racing
Under that moon
Looking at you
Between the stars in the sky and your eyes
I'm stargazing

Ooh, stargazing

Beautiful Baby lyrics - Darius Rucker

Beautiful baby
Beautiful child
Gentle and maybe
Just a little bit wild
When I see you're face
I know that it's true
No one any place
Is beautiful as you
Beautiful as you baby

Beautiful baby
Beautiful child
Gentle and maybe
Just a little bit wild
When I hear you laugh
It's music and gold
You bring to my life
Miracles untold baby

And now you smile
I look in your eyes
It's all worthwhile
And I realize
How beautiful
So beautiful
Simply beautiful
Oh child
Child of mine
Hey-eah

Beautiful baby
Beautiful child
Gentle and maybe
Just a little bit wild
When I see you're face
I know that it's true
No one any place
Is beautiful as you
Beautiful as you
Beautiful as you
Baby

Big Old Shoulders lyrics - Darius Rucker

(from "Breakthrough" soundtrack)

This is for the midnight voice of a 911 dial-up
The mouth to mouth, keep 'em alive
Or those who dig through the rubble, for one more survivor
For the Kentucky farmer with tobacco stains
Long-haul daddy leaving Texas for Maine
The Louisiana rancher praying for rain

Oh you carry the weight of the world
You carry the weight of the world
You carry the weight of the world
On your big old shoulders

For the boys in blue call to a domestic disturbance
The warrior wounded by rebel insurgence
For mothers' raw hands in dishwasher detergent
For the three-alarm firemen called at 4 AM
Shadetree mechanic gettin' her running again
The truck stop waitress reading Gone with the Wind, oh-oh

Oh you carry the weight of the world
You carry the weight of the world
You carry the weight of the world
On your big old shoulders

For the underpaid, overworked high school teacher
Old man with the garbage can cleaning up the bleacher
The marrying-burrying burned out preacher
For the children's hospital 9th floor nurses
The angels that dress up as hospice workers
The healers of wounds, breakers of curses

Where it all falls apart you're always strong
Just knowing you're there keeps me holding on
The least I can do is sing you a song

'Cause you carry the weight of the world
(Carry the weight of the world)
You carry the weight of the world
(Carry the weight of the world)
You carry the weight of the world
(Carry the weight of the world)
On your big old shoulders, oh now
You carry the weight of the world
You carry the weight of the world
You carry the weight of the world
On your big old shoulders, I know

On your big old shoulders, ah
Yeah, oh I know
You carry the world
You carry the world
Oh I know you got
You got big old shoulders

In The Ghetto lyrics - Reba McEntire & Darius Rucker

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago morn'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)

And his mama cries
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It's another little hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)

People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me
Are we too blind to see
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way?

As the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)

And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
He learns how to steal, and he learns how to fight
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)

Then one night in desperation
The young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car
Tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
Face down on the street, a gun in his hand
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)

And as her young man dies
On a cold and gray Chicago morn'
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)

And her mama cries (in the ghetto)
(In the ghetto)
(Why?)

John Punch lyrics - Dukes Of Roots & Darius Rucker

1640 V A
John Punch tried to run away
Sentenced for his life, a slave

The families say
When you coming home?
The families say
When you coming home?

225 years of hell
Started in America that day
Folks from Africa taken away

Half a million souls
Out on the water
It is so cold
Where the hell are we going?
The moon is the same
But now I'm all alone now
Families say
When you coming home?

Franklin and Armfield took their turn
Largest slave trading firm (Use and abuse)
Hate, profit and cruelty
Their specialty and the norm

Half a million souls
Out on the water
It's so cold
Where the hell are we going?
The moon is the same
But now I'm all alone now
Families say
When you coming home?

(Slave trade, while they take us away)
Think of this injustice
To the human race
Restitution, remembrance and recovery
Must take place now

Half a million souls
Out on the water
It's so cold
Where the hell are we going?
The moon is the same
But now I'm all alone now
Families say
When you coming home?

Looking at the sea
Wishing you coming home now
Day and night wishing you coming home now
You coming home now
When you coming home

My Masterpiece lyrics - Darius Rucker

I was born with a heart with a beat like a rolling stone
Never did I realize where I was supposed to belong
I never knew what I was meant to do
I never made sense to me 'til I made sense to you

I never had a silver spoon
I didn't grow up in a castle
I never walked on the moon
I'll never paint a Sistine Chapel
I can't play piano like Ray Charles
But baby when my life is through
I hope they say my masterpiece is loving you
Yeah, loving you babe
Loving you babe

Girl I swear your hazel eyes are making me feel
Like Picasso never had that color in his wheel
If I wrote the song, your name would be Georgia
And you'd be on my mind
Like a starry night, our love would stand the test of time

I never had a silver spoon
I didn't grow up in a castle
I never walked on the moon
I'll never paint a Sistine Chapel
I can't play piano like Ray Charles
But baby when my life is through
I hope they say my masterpiece is loving you
Yeah, loving you baby
Loving you darling

So get a little closer baby
I wanna take my time, wanna take all night
So get a little closer darling
Gonna keep on working 'til I get it right

I never had a silver spoon
I didn't grow up in a castle
I never walked on the moon
I'll never paint a Sistine Chapel
I can't play piano like Ray Charles
But baby when my life is through
I hope they say my masterpiece is loving you
Loving you baby yeah
Loving you darling
Loving you baby
Loving you, I hope they say it all the time now
Oh, baby I'm loving you
Loving you baby

Nothing Else Matters lyrics - Darius Rucker

(originally by Metallica)

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you (Ooh)
Every day for us something new (Ooh)
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close no matter how far
It couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

I never opened myself this way (Ooh)
Life is ours, we live it our way (Ooh)
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you (Ooh)
Every day for us something new (Ooh)
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

What Child Is This lyrics - Lindsey Stirling & Darius Rucker

What child is this who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping

This, this is Christ the king
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of Mary

This, this is Christ the king
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of Mary

So bring him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant king to love him
The king of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone him

So raise, raise the song on high
The mother sings her lullaby
Joy, oh joy for Christ is born
The babe, the son of Mary

For The First Time lyrics - Darius Rucker

You say you never danced to a dashboard singin' R.E.M. under summer stars
Never leaned back on a jet black Chevy, blowing smoke rings in the dark
You don't want to be a rumor, girl, and I feel just the same
Yeah, I know that you don't know me well but we can make that change

When was the last time you did something for the first time?
Yeah, let yourself go, follow that feeling
Maybe something new is what you're needing
Like a real life, let your hair down, feel alive
When was the last time you did something for the first time?

Say you never drank from the bottle of some two dollar wine, run barefoot through the mud
Never had the right kiss stolen from your lips, while you watched the sun come up
Well, I know your friends are watching and they probably disapprove
But give me just half a chance, girl, I'm daring you

When was the last time you did something for the first time?
Yeah, let yourself go, follow that feeling
Maybe something new is what you're needing
Like a real life, let your hair down, feel alive
When was the last time you did something for the first time?

Now the way you're looking says you're living
I hope I ain't reading wrong
Cause the way you're shining I think you're thinking
It's been way too long

When was the last time you did something for the first time?
Yeah yeah, let yourself go, come on follow that feeling
Maybe something new is what you're needing
Like a real life, let your hair down, feel alive, alive
When was the last time oh you did something for the first time, girl?
Come on, baby
When was the last time yeah you did something for the first time?


Bring It On lyrics - Darius Rucker

Bring your wild, bring your innocence
Bring that smile when you bite your lip
Bring that two-glass tipsy kiss
That stayed just a little too long
Baby, bring on your little short fuse
Your "can you carry my high heel shoes?"
Your little small town attitude
Makes me feel right at home

Bring it on, bring it on
Bring the fire, bring the storm
All your love like a flood
Raining down on me
Bring that laugh, bring those stars
Bring your jagged little heart
All those pieces of you
I ain't scared to love you
Baby bring it on
Baby bring it on

Come on with your heart on your sleeve
That makeup that you don't need
That angel that you don't see
When you look in the mirror
Bring your future, bring your past
Bring your "scared to fall too fast"
All those perfect imperfections
Bring that girl I gotta have

Bring it on, bring it on
Bring the fire, bring the storm
All your love like a flood
Raining down on me
Bring that laugh, bring those stars
Bring your jagged little heart
All those pieces of you
I ain't scared to love you
Baby bring it on

Gotta love them back, go ahead just fall
Everything you have, girl, I want it all
Put your hand in mine, let me hold your heart
Baby let me see everything you are

Baby bring it on, bring it on
Bring the fire, bring the storm
All your love like a flood
Raining down on me
Bring that laugh, bring those stars
Bring your jagged little heart
All those pieces of you
I ain't scared to love you
Baby bring it on
Oh (baby bring it on)

Bring that smile when you bite your lip
Bring that two-glass tipsy kiss
Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on
Baby bring on your little short fuse
Your small town attitude
Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on
Bring it on, bring it on


Life's Too Short lyrics - Darius Rucker

Mmm that breeze feels good, don't it?
Feet up on the cooler
Them tunes pouring out of that sliding rear window
Laugh to the beat of that tape deck radio
Mmm it's a heaven on earth moment
Got a good thing going
Round and round like the wheels of this night
It's a singing along kiss, close your eyes

I don't like this living, I love it
Sweet magnolia blue skies up above it
I don't call Carolina just a place I visit
I call Carolina home
I don't like drinking beer, I love it
On the back porch swinging with my honey
Life's too short just to like it so you better get to loving
This living before it's gone
Life's too short

Better get to living if the beer's ice cold
You better get to sipping if the song's in the air
Get you out a lighter if the party's rocking
You pull an all-nighter cause life's too short

Mmm that six string's strumming, ain't it?
This scene's all God painted
I'm soaking you in while you're soaking it in
It's like a movie baby, ain't it? Oh don't waste it

I don't like this living, I love it
Sweet magnolia blue skies up above it
I don't call Carolina just a place I visit
I call Carolina home
I don't like drinking beer, I love it
On the back porch swinging with my honey
Life's too short just to like it so you better get to loving
This living before it's gone
Life's too short

Better get to living if the beer's ice cold
You better get to sipping if the song's in the air
Get you out a lighter if the party's rocking
You pull an all-nighter cause life's too short

Oh
You better get to pouring
Oh
Cause life's too short now

I don't like this living, I love it
Sweet magnolia blue skies up above it
I don't call Carolina just a place I visit
I call Carolina home
I don't like drinking beer, I love it
On the back porch swinging with my honey
Life's too short just to like it so you better get to loving
This living before it's gone
Life's too short

Yeah you better get to living (The beer's ice cold)
Oh you gotta get to sipping (The song's in the air)
I'm gonna get you out a lighter (The party's rocking)
Girl you gotta pull an all-nighter cause life's too short


If I Told You lyrics - Darius Rucker

What if I told you about my little nothing town
The two room house where I came from
The man that I got my name from
I don't even know where he is now

What if I told you sometimes I lose my faith
I wonder why someone like you would even talk to me
What if I told you there is no fixing me
Cause everybody has already tried

Would you stay?
Would you leave?
I could wait
It'll all come out eventually

If I told you all the stupid things I've done
I've blamed on being young
But I was old enough to know I know
If I told you the mess that I can be
When there's no one there to see
Could you look the other way?
Could you love me anyway?

What if I told you I don't plan on staying here
My dreams are a million miles away
And I know your family is gonna want you to stay
You know what I don't blame 'em

So I'll say
What I don't want to
And I'll just pray
You want what I do

If I told you all the stupid things I've done
I've blamed on being young
But I was old enough to know I know
If I told you the mess that I can be
When there's no one there to see
Could you look the other way?
Could you love me anyway?
Aww, could you love me anyway?

So before we go any further here
Let a week turn into another year
There some things you probably don't wanna hear
But you have to

If I told you sometimes I get jealous
Sometimes I'm half crazy
Would you say the hell with me, the hell with me
If I told you I barely know what love is
But girl if that's what this is
I don't want to let it slip away
No, no, no

Could you love me anyway?
Please
Could you love me anyway?
Could you love me anyway? (Oooooh)
Could you love me anyway?

Don't lyrics - Darius Rucker

If you think I could ever go a day without you
Five minutes without thinkin' about you
Don't
And if you wonder if it scares me
Thinkin' about forever with you, baby
I can tell you, baby, it don't, oh

'Cause every single mornin'
My eyes fall open on you
It's like my dreams keep goin'
On and on and on, it don't
Matter what we're doin'
As long as I'm with you, and
I can't imagine anything
I couldn't love you through the bad days
There's gonna be mistakes
But, baby, I'm here to stay
And if you think that could change
Don't

Stop makin' me late for work
Wakin' me up without sayin' a word
Ooh, don't
'Cause when you whisper in my ear
Everything I wanna hear
I know you know, I need to go
But you're the reason that I don't

'Cause every single mornin'
My eyes fall open on you
It's like my dreams keep goin'
On and on and on, it don't
Matter what we're doin'
As long as I'm with you, and
I can't imagine anything
I couldn't love you through the bad days
There's gonna be mistakes
But, baby, I'm here to stay
And if you think that could change
Don't
Oh, baby, don't

Oh, and if you ever wonder
If I regret the day I said, "I do"
Don't

'Cause every single mornin'
My eyes fall open on you
It's like my dreams keep goin'
On and on and on, it don't
Matter what we're doin'
As long as I'm with you, and
I can't imagine anything
I couldn't love you through the bad days
There's gonna be mistakes
But, baby, I'm here to stay
And if you think that could change
Don't

Baby, don't
Don't you think I don't
Oh, yeah, I know
Baby, don't



Twenty Something lyrics - Darius Rucker

Twenty something, buying coffee you can't afford
Making love is keeping score
You're sleeping on a couch
Cause you got nothing, yeah but you don't give a damn
It's your world and they're all just living in it
Twenty something for a minute

Thirty something
You don't wait to call her back
They called you when you left
Those hangovers just hang on a little longer
Home ain't your hometown
Just cause you got twenty bucks don't mean you spend it
Thirty something for a minute

It's credit cards and college bars
Bigger houses, faster cars
Just trying to be somebody, but you end up somebody else
Friday nights out with your friends
Til a second chance's a second wind
Just one more keg then you tell yourself

Forty something
Is the new twenty five
You think time is on your side
But in a flash
Fifty something
And your daddy's in the mirror
Say you're young, but your running out of where you're spending
Sixty something in a minute

It's credit cards and college bars
Bigger houses, faster cars
Just trying to be somebody, but you end up somebody else
Friday nights out whiskey friends
Til a second chance's a second wind
Just one more keg then you tell yourself

Eighty something
Is just a number on a page
And all you know is that you don't know nothing
You still feel twenty something

Ah, you're twenty something
Twenty something
Twenty something

Straight To Hell (feat. Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan & Charles Kelley) lyrics - Darius Rucker

I grew up just west of the tracks
Holding me to hold me back
Around your door she's calling out my name
I come in at 5 AM
And she is waiting for me
She said, "Where have you been?", I said, "I was out!"
She said, "You're no good cause you're running without love"

And I'm going straight to Hell
Just like my momma said
I'm going straight to Hell (to Hell, woohoo)
I'm going straight to Hell
Just like my momma said
I'm going straight to Hell (oh and I'm gonna burn it down, baby)

The black widow and the ladies man
Met down at the laundromat
And tried to make me understand
And just then, her mother bursts in
And said, "You're the son of that bitch in the wind
Get out of my house and hit the road"
And I kept falling like a Rolling Stones' song

Cause I'm going straight to Hell
Just like my momma said
I'm going straight to Hell (oh straight to Hell)
I'm going straight to Hell
Just like my momma said
I'm going straight to Hell

The stars came out and warned me so
As I walked on down the road
Fifty bucks and a suitcase steered me clear
She took my hand as we walked into the sun
A new day's promise had just begun
We'll make it alone whether you like it or not
And I turned around and shouted "Help me momma!"

Cause I'm going straight to Hell
Just like my momma said
I'm going straight to Hell
Oh yeah, I'm going straight to Hell
Ooh just like my momma said
I'm going straight to Hell

(Oh Lord help us
Yeah I'll bring the whiskey boys
Y'all taking me with ya
Help me Jesus, help me Jesus, we all are
Oh!)


Count The Beers lyrics - Darius Rucker

Well the lipstick on this coffee cup
I ain't your shade of red
And the perfume on the pillow on your side of the bed
Ain't the kind you used to wear
But you said you don't love me
And she said she don't care

She likes the sad songs that play all night long
She never turns 'em off, just sings along
She likes the big screen and the home team
And walks in, as I got my tears here in my big beers
It might not be love, like our love was
But girl that's all right
'Cause she don't count the beers I drink at night

She don't make me wanna stay in bed when Monday rolls around
And she don't have that touch that sends me ten feet off the ground
Like you used to (like you used to)
Yeah believe me, man, she's something
But baby she ain't you

She likes the sad songs that play all night long
She never turns 'em off, just sings along
She likes the big screen and the home team
And walks in, as I got my tears here in my big beers
It might not be love, like our love was
But girl that's all right, yeah
'Cause she don't count the beers I drink at night

She's all that I never thought I'd find
Yeah, but she can't get you off my mind

She likes the sad songs that play all night long
She never turns 'em off, just sings along
She likes the big screen and the home team
And walks in, as I got my tears here in my big beers
It might not be love, like our love was
But girl that's all right
'Cause she don't count the beers I drink at night
Yeah...
'Cause she don't count the beers I drink at night

Another Night With You lyrics - Darius Rucker

Here comes the sunrise
Like it always does
Always puts a damper on our kind of love
Just like last night
It always ends too soon
I know it's only daylight
But I wanna spend another night with you

Can't seem to make time stand still
It always does just what it will
So baby until
I can have a talk with that old moon
Oh and talk about a daylight
So I can spend another night with you

If I found a four leaf clover, I'd tuck it away
You know that I'd save it for a rainy day
If I had a genie in a bottle to make a wish come true
I'm telling you girl right now just what I'd do
Oh I wouldn't waste a minute
I'd only wish for one more night with you

But I can't seem to make time stand still
It always does just what it will
So baby until
I can have a talk with that old moon
Oh and talk about a daylight
So I can spend another night with you
Oh I'd talk about a daylight
So I can spend another night with you

Here comes the sunrise (Here comes the sunrise)

Hands On Me lyrics - Darius Rucker

I know where I wanna go tonight
Been thinking about it all day
I've been waiting on your paradise
Still only you know the way
I let a world outside our window
Do whatever it's gonna do
We'll have a body and soul revival
Right here in this room

When your lips touch mine I'm born again
If I never get to heaven, hell, I've already been
Lead me to salvation, girl, I'm down on my knees
Turn the lights off, slide your jeans off and put your hands on me

Chase your settle through the secret garden
You'll be waiting for me there
I can whisper hallelujah, baby
But I don't have a prayer

And only you can save me
From the crazy that you made me

When your lips touch mine I'm born again
If I never get to heaven, hell, I've already been
Lead me to salvation, girl, I'm down on my knees
Turn the lights off, slide your jeans off and put your hands on me

And only you can save me
From the crazy that you made me

Put your hands on me
Put your hands on me
Yeah, hands on me
Put your hands on me

When your lips touch mine I'm born again
If I never get to heaven, hell, I've already been
Lead me to salvation, girl, I'm down on my knees
Turn the lights off and slide your jeans off and put your hands on me
Yeah, turn the lights off, slide your jeans off and put your hands on me



She lyrics - Darius Rucker

She could of been born and raised in a Kentucky blue grass town
East Carolina, South Alabama
Anywhere you might hear a screen door slam
In a doublewide or a little white house her daddy built
By a cotton, corn or a tobacco field
Green grass growing up around that Oldsmobile out in the yard
The one her Uncle Bobby took apart
Anybody's guess if and when
It'll ever get put together again

Yeah she's old black water
She's southern comfort
She's sweet magnolia sugar cane
Yeah she's every jet trail sky
There's wild horses in her eyes
And her heart you know you'd love to try and tame

She's probably got saved on a red oak Baptist back road pew
Summers in the sun at Waterloo
Whiskey bonfire buzz, yeah she's had a few
And she's just like you
Midnight singin' with the windows down
Slip string driftin' down a road she found
The kind of girl that makes your world go around

And she's old black water
She's southern comfort
She's sweet magnolia sugar cane
Yeah she's every jet trail sky
There's wild horses in her eyes
And a heart you know she'd love to try and tame

Yeah she's old black water
She's southern comfort
She's sweet magnolia sugar cane
Yeah she's every jet trail sky
There's wild horses in her eyes
And her heart you know you'd love to try and tame

On a sunset back road taillights drift away

Yeah she's old black water
She's southern comfort
She's sweet magnolia sugar cane
Yeah she's every jet trail sky
There's wild horses in her eyes
And her heart you know you'd love to try and tame
[x3]

Story To Tell lyrics - Darius Rucker

I grew up in the country
Six kids in a two room shack
Soon as I learned those three chords
I had a guitar on my back
I wanted to carry a football
That dream came and went real soon
Made it through two years of college
Thank God I could carry a tune
Nah nah, yeah-eh, thank God, I could carry a tune

I've known love, I've known pain
Got a little rusty in the rain
I've been lost, I've been found
I left my mark on my little bitty town
Yeah, raised me a few good babies
Raised me a whole lotta hell
And if I ever get to heaven
I'm gonna have a story to tell, yeah
If I get there, I'm gonna have a story to tell

I drank a lot of cheap whiskey
Shut down too many bars
Low as a dog in the valley
And high as the Carolina stars
I've kissed some girls, still missed some girls
Most beautiful you've ever seen
I gave my heart to a woman
Who didn't give a damn about me

I've known love, I've known pain
Got a little rusty in the rain
I've been lost, I've been found
I left my mark on my little bitty town
Yeah, raised me a few good babies
Raised me a whole lotta hell
And if I ever get to heaven
I'm gonna have a story to tell, yeah
If I get there, I'm gonna have a story to tell

It's got some parts that'll make you laugh
And some that'll make you cry
Some pages I wish I could tear out
Well I ain't gonna tell no lie
'Cause it's a story of my life

No I can't preach or give no advice
I didn't do everything well
But man, just live while you're alive
And try to have a story to tell

I've known love, I've known pain
Got a little rusty in the rain
Yeah I've been lost, I've been found
I left my mark on my little bitty town
I raised me a few good babies
I raised me a whole lotta hell
And if I ever get to heaven
I'm gonna have a story to tell, yeah
If I get there, I'll have a real good story to tell

Nah nah, yeah-eh, I'll have a real good story to tell


Straight To Hell (Full Length Version) (feat. Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan & Charles Kelley) lyrics -Darius Rucker

I grew up just west of the tracks
Holding me to hold me back
Around your door she's calling out my name
She said "Son, won't you go outside?"
I got a man coming over tonight
The seventh one in seven days
So I go down to the parking lot
And hang around all my friends
And roam the streets till dawn breaks again
I come in at 5 AM
And she is waiting for me
She said, "Where have you been?", I said, "I was out!"
She said, "You're no good cause you're running without love"

And I'm going straight to Hell
Just like my momma said
I'm going straight to Hell (to Hell, woohoo)
I'm going straight to Hell
Just like my momma said
I'm going straight to Hell (oh and I'm gonna burn it down, baby)

The black widow and the ladies man
Met down at the laundromat
And tried to make me understand
The neighbors were all in a stir
About what they mighta heard
And running down they shouted, so it seemed
Next door a girl she lived, about the same age as me
And asked me to come upstairs for a seat
And just then, her mother bursts in
And said, "You're the son of that bitch in the wind
Get out of my house and hit the road"
And I kept falling like a Rolling Stones' song

Cause I'm going straight to Hell
Just like my momma said
I'm going straight to Hell (oh straight to Hell)
Yeah I'm going straight to Hell
Just like my momma said
I'm going straight to Hell

The stars came out and warned me so
As I walked on down the road
Fifty bucks and a suitcase steered me clear
She took my hand as we walked into the sun
A new day's promise had just begun
We'll make it alone whether you like it or not
And I turned around and shouted "Help me momma!"

Cause I'm going straight to Hell
Just like my momma said
I'm going straight to Hell
Oh yeah, I'm going straight to Hell
Just like my momma said
I'm going straight to Hell (Oh boys sing it one more time now)
I'm going straight to Hell
Ooh just like my momma said
I'm going straight to Hell

(Oh Lord help us
Yeah I'll bring the whiskey boys
Y'all taking me with ya
Help me Jesus, help me Jesus, we all are
Oh!)

Homegrown Honey lyrics - Darius Rucker

Sitting at a bar in New York City
Everybody here looking New York pretty
But you’re the kinda girl that’s got that something
Dancing to the groove like it just ain’t nothing
They ain’t never seen nothing quite like you
Long stem legs in your cowboy boots
Throwing back whiskey straight, no water
Girl there ain’t nothing hotter

[Chorus:]
Ooh, I dig the way that you move
You shake it down to your roots
Did your momma teach you how to do that thing you do
Yeah, nothing sweeter than wild
I’ll take a sip of that smile
I’ll bet the boys at home can’t leave you alone
You little homegrown honey, honey, honey
You’re so money, money, money
You got a country road Carolina soul
Baby you’re just so homegrown

Trying to think of something cool to say
Turned around and saw you walking my way
Pulled me on the floor saying “Son it’s on”
And we were dancing all night long
To a sweet old Alabama song

[Repeat Chorus]

Ooh baby, baby, baby
You’re driving me crazy, crazy, crazy
I’m a long way away from where I’m from
But baby you feel like home

[Repeat Chorus]

You’re so money, money, money
You got a country road Carolina soul
Baby you’re just so homegrown


Good For A Good Time lyrics - Darius Rucker

I ain't ever been accused of recusing myself from a Friday night
Don't need no excuse to go out and cut loose beneath the neon light
Ain't got to twist my arm to get me off the farm
Just give me the word, I bet I beat you to the bar

I'm up for just about anything as long as it's almost legal
I can fit in with any old crowd, long as there's a party, they're my kind of people
If you're down with painting the town, I'll be around all night
You know I'm always good for a good time

I'm a pretty good guy in my nine to five, always walking the line
I'll lend a helping hand to a stranger or a friend if they need mine
You can count on me buddy, I'm free
If you've got a bead on a party in need

I'm up for just about anything as long as it's almost legal
I can fit in with any old crowd, long as there's a party, they're my kind of people
If you're down with painting the town, I'll be around all night
You know I'm always good for a good time

When it comes to a good time, you know what they say
It's never too early, it's never too late


Baby I'm Right (feat. Mallary Hope) lyrics - Darius Rucker

Heaven knows that I'm usually wrong
And you're the first one to point it out
Don't even try to act like you don't know
What it is I'm talking 'bout
You know that I'm no know-it-all
But when I first saw you I thought

This could be
The start of something beautiful
This could be
The start of something magical
The kind of thing you look for all of your life
This could be
The start of something so unreal
This could be
Finally the real deal
I guess now and then
Baby, I'm right

Don't wanna really put you right on the spot
But I love the look you're giving me
I'm no genius but I know what we've got
That special kind of chemistry
Go on and roll those hazel brown eyes
Let's see where we're going tonight

This could be
The start of something beautiful
This could be
The start of something magical
The kind of thing you look for all of your life
This could be
The start of something so unreal
This could be
Finally the real deal
I guess now and then
Baby, I'm right

Just admit it
I ain't always wrong
Me being right kinda turns you on

This could be
The start of something beautiful
This could be
The start of something magical
The kind of thing you look for all of your life
This could be
The start of something so unreal
This could be
Finally the real deal
I guess now and then
Baby, I'm right

Yeah, I guess now and then
You let me be right

Southern Style lyrics - Darius Rucker

Sun kissed hair and not much makeup
High-heeled boots that lace up
Two first names that came from
Her grandmas on both sides
She ain't ever read much Faulkner
But she could've been his daughter
She grew up on Muddy Waters
Southern style

Southern style, free and easy
Southern style, warm and breezy
If you met her, man believe me
You'd want her to stay a while
Says, she don't believe in strangers
Only sinners with the savior
'Cause her mom and daddy raised her
Southern style

She's a Friday night light lover
A Billy Graham fan like her mother
She wants her daddy and both brothers
To walk her down the aisle
She likes oysters raw for dinner
A lil' Wayne and Lynyrd Skynyrd
Keeps her tan lines in the winter
Southern style

Southern style, free and easy
Southern style, warm and breezy
If you met her, man believe me
You'd want her to stay a while
Says, she don't believe in strangers
Only sinners with the savior
'Cause her mom and daddy raised her
Southern style

Southern style, free and easy
Southern style, warm and breezy
If you met her, man believe me
You'd want her to stay a while
Says, she don't believe in strangers
Only sinners with the savior
'Cause her mom and daddy raised her
Southern style

You can love her, you can hate her
But you're never going to change her
If you want her then you'll take her
Southern style


High On Life lyrics - Darius Rucker

It's been five days since I shaved, I swear
My hair's gettin' long but I don't care
Lawn chair sitting, ain't going nowhere
A big old smile on my face
Pointin' out pictures in a cloudy sky
Craving me a piece of that pecan pie
Might lay in the grass and kill some time
Looking like I'm in a daze
But it ain't no purple haze

I ain't stoned on what you think
Just an afternoon sun that's starting to sink
I ain't drunk on nothing you can buy
Just a kiss from a woman and a look in her eye
What I'm on you don't need much
It's a little goes a long way kinda stuff
Yeah, I'm breathing, yeah, I'm feeling alright
I'm high on life

Gettin' buzzed by this bumble bee flying around
My day in the sun is my night on the town
Just me waking up is me getting down
Spinning like a tilt-a-whirl
Sitting on top of the world

I ain't stoned on what you think
Just an afternoon sun that's starting to sink
I ain't drunk on nothing you can buy
Just a kiss from a woman and a look in her eye
What I'm on you don't need much
It's a little goes a long way kinda stuff
Yeah, I'm breathing, yeah, I'm feeling alright
I'm high on life

I ain't saying that stuff is bad
But it's so low compared to the highs I have
Counting my blessings, kicking back
Sipping on sweet tea in a glass
And watching my baby laugh
Don't get much better than that

I ain't stoned on what you think
Just an afternoon sun that's starting to sink
I ain't drunk on nothing you can buy
Just a kiss from a woman and a look in her eye
What I'm on you don't need much
It's a little goes a long way kinda stuff
Yeah, I'm breathing, yeah, I'm feeling alright
I'm high on life

I'm finally believing what I'm seeing
That's why
I'm high on life
Oh, high on life


Perfect lyrics - Darius Rucker

You didn't see me walkin' in
You were lookin' in the mirror and
You looked perfect
Hadn't put on your makeup yet
You were sayin', how your hair's a mess
But you looked perfect

No, you don't see what I see when I look at you girl
You don't know how beautiful you are
You're never ready and you need more time
You say your jeans never fit you right
But your eyes and your shy little smile and your own kinda style
It's so perfect, perfect

I hear you singin' to the radio
Sometimes you miss a couple high notes
But it sounds perfect
And when we go out and
Everywhere's too crowded
And we just end up drivin' around
It's, oh baby, it's still perfect
Just perfect

No, you don't see what I see when I look at you girl
You don't know how beautiful you are
You're never ready and you need more time
You say your jeans never fit you right
But your eyes and your shy little smile and your own kinda style
It's so perfect, perfect

Your touch and your kiss and your skin and your lips
And your name
All the little imperfections you wish you could change
Every little everything is perfect

No, you don't see what I see when I look at you girl
You don't know how beautiful you are
You're never ready and you need more time
You say your jeans never fit you right
But your eyes and your shy little smile and your own kinda style
It's so perfect, perfect


You, Me & My Guitar lyrics - Darius Rucker

Tonight, let's let party people do
Whatever party people do
Just wanna be somewhere with you
Without the crowd
Tonight, let's go hit our favorite spot
Let our feet swing off that dock
This old six string's all I brought
And that's all we need

Make a list of your favorite songs
I can play and you can sing along
Don't matter if we get 'em wrong
Ain't nobody listenin' but the moon
And all the stars
Baby, we don't need no bar
All we need is this old jar
You and me and my guitar

I wanna feel
That sweet, sweet southern breeze
Blowin' through those live oak trees
Feel that grass under our feet
While we're walkin' down
I can't wait
To see the smile there on your face
When I open up that case
Yeah, tune it up and play
With the crickets keepin' time

Make a list of your favorite songs
I can play and you can sing along
Don't matter if we get 'em wrong
Ain't nobody listenin' but the moon
And all the stars
Baby, we don't need no bar
All we need is this old jar
You and me and my guitar

Girl, you know, I love to show you off
Underneath the lights downtown
But now and then, I like slippin' off
Where there ain't nobody around
But you and me
Just you and me and my guitar
And the moon and the stars and you and me, now baby

Low Country lyrics - Darius Rucker

Baby, all these city lights
Are losing their shine
I need a little bit a get outta here
A little slow unwind
A little salt air and a sand bar
A lawn chair and a guitar
Singing sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
All night long
All night

I wanna get high
On some low country
Where the sun meets the water
And the nights get hotter
Sounds right on the money
Let's let that tide take us for a ride
Girl, wherever it wants to
I wanna get high
On some low country with you

Down there where the warm wind blows
Through the cypress trees
You take your worries like the pennies in your pocket
And you, you throw 'em in the sea
Get a sweet buzz from your long kiss
Better than any rum hitting my lips
Singing la-la-la-la-la-la-la
All night long
All night

I wanna get high
On some low country
Where the sun meets the water
And the nights get hotter
Sounds right on the money
Let's let that tide take us for a ride
Girl, wherever it wants to
I wanna get high
On some low country with you

Ain't it funny how life can be crazy
Come on, let's get gone
'Cause the days are getting long and the nights are getting hazy
Come on, let's hold on

I wanna get high
On some low country
Where the sun meets the water
And the nights get hotter
Sounds right on the money
Let's let that tide take us for a ride
Girl, wherever it wants to
I wanna get high
On some low country with you

Low country with you, oh, yeah
Low country with you
My low country with you



Need You More lyrics - Darius Rucker

Kinda like eighteen wheels need a blacktop
A bad part of town needs a good cop
Kinda like a romantic night needs a sunset
Candlelight and a silhouette need the door
But I need you more
Kinda like a cup of coffee needs the a.m.
Hard times need a good friend
Kinda like a sinners prayer when hopes gone
From a midnight drunk kneeling on a jailhouse floor

I need you more
Every touch, every kiss, every time
Your lips meet mine
I need you more
Every look my way
Every second of the day that goes by
Even holding you tight in the middle of the night
You say, how much you need me
Baby, believe me
I need you more

Kinda like a country road needs an old church
Carolina needs a red dirt
Kinda like a daybreak needs a sunrise
Old dogs and rocking chairs need the porch

I need you more
Every touch, every kiss, every time
Your lips meet mine
I need you more
Every look my way
Every second of the day that goes by
Even holding you tight in the middle of the night
You say, how much you need me
Baby, believe me
I need you more

Kinda like a stormy night needs a lighthouse
Tall ships and driftwood need the shore

I need you more
Every touch, every kiss, every time
Your lips meet mine
I need you more
Every look my way
Every second of the day that goes by
Even holding you tight in the middle of the night
You say, how much you need me
Baby, believe me
I need you more

I need you more
I need you more
I need you more


Half Full Dixie Cup lyrics - Darius Rucker

That bucket of bolts in the driveway
It's old but it's still fast
And the weeds out in the front yard
When they're green, they look like grass
And this house we got
Well, it sure could use a couple shingles and a can of paint
But looking on the bright side
We're dry every time it rains

Yeah, I'm kicked back on the front porch
Drinking up this sunset
We ain't got a whole lot
But we got what we need
Yeah, I'm smiling 'cause I've been blessed
Sipping on the good stuff
This ain't a glass half empty thing
It's a half full Dixie cup

Kids chasing around that old dog
Being loud and dragging out toys
But you're missing out on a sweet sound
If all you hear is noise
And their mama sitting here beside me
Laughs and says, ain't it funny
Some people I know, well, they're flat broke
'Cause all they got is money

Yeah, I'm kicked back on the front porch
Drinking up this sunset
We ain't got a whole lot
But we got what we need
Yeah, I'm smiling 'cause I've been blessed
Sipping on the good stuff
This ain't a glass half empty thing
It's a half full Dixie cup

Some days I fall by the wayside
And let the devil have his way
He puts a hole in my cup
But this ain't one of those days, no

Well, I'm kicked back on the front porch
I'm drinking up this sunset
Hey, we ain't got a whole lot
But we got what we need
Yeah, I'm smiling 'cause I've been blessed
I'm sipping on the good stuff
Hey, this ain't a glass half empty thing
It's a half full Dixie cup

Yeah, I'm smiling 'cause I've been blessed
I'm sipping on the good stuff
Hey, this ain't a glass half empty thing
It's a half full Dixie cup
It's a half full Dixie cup


Lighter Up lyrics - Darius Rucker

I remember that long line
Camping out there all night
Just for a chance to see that hair band

Got tickets for my first show
Didn't care about the back row
The day finally came
It was all worth the wait

Never heard nothing so loud
As the roar of the crowd
When the lights went down
And we all pulled 'em all out

Lighter up
Feel the love
Everybody swaying
Ridin' that wave
So alive
With the fire
We raised them high
And burned the night
Lighter up
Lighter up

Hit the stage with that first song
Never felt a groove so strong
Lights were so bright
We were coming alive

The words we didn't know-oh-oh
We all just said who-oh-oh
Then she grabbed my hand
We started to dance

Never seen nothing like the roar of the flames
She gave me a kiss before she gave me her name

Lighter up
Feel the love
Everybody swaying
Ridin' that wave
So alive
With the fire
We raised them high
And burned the night
Lighter up
Lighter up

And just like the show-oh-oh
We didn't take it slow-oh-oh
I bathed in her eyes
Even watched the sunrise

Lighter up
Feel the love
Everybody swaying
Ridin' that wave
So alive
With the fire
We raised them high
And burned the night
Lighter up
Lighter up
[x2]

Lighter up



You Can Have Charleston lyrics - Darius Rucker

You can have Charleston
The cobblestone streets
The steeples looking down
On the Battery
The Topsails and the Clydesdales
Pulling people all around
The ocean breeze and the live oak trees
God, I'm gonna miss this town, but

You can have Charleston
I'll pack up and leave
Maybe find a spot on the West Coast
Give you lots of room to breathe
With your new life and your new love
I won't get in your way
I'll just wish you well and try like hell
To smile and walk away, from

My home, my heart
Where I was born, where I was raised
Where one day they're gonna take my body
And lay it in a grave
My soul, don't wanna go
But it's got to be this way
It's gonna break my heart to say, goodbye
But it'll kill me if I stay

You can have Charleston
It's really for the best
Girl, it's your town now
Plus I could never rest
There're too many ghosts on this old coast
Too many memories
It's where we met and we fell in love
It's where you cut me deep and made me bleed

From time to time
I might be passing through
But I promise you
That's all I'll do

You can have Charleston
I'll take these broken dreams
Load 'em in up in a suitcase
And see where it leads
Take 26 until I get
A million miles away
Try and start over
In a brand new place



So I Sang lyrics - Darius Rucker

I never was the biggest or the fastest guy
I never hit a homerun when the game was tied
I knew from an early age I wasn't going to be
A doctor or the CEO of anything

So I sang, "She Believes In Me"
And I played, "Fire On The Mountain"
'Til I made my fingers bleed
I tried to stand out from the crowd
But most times I just struck out at the plate
So I sang

I wasn't cool enough to be a ladies man
It took me forever just to hold her hand
First time we kissed, she whispered, I love you
But I wasn't brave enough to say, I loved her too

So I sang, "You Are So Beautiful To Me"
And I played every note to "Faithfully"
I loved her with everything
But I couldn't think of anything to say
So I sang

No one believed in me as much as Mom
See, she worked overtime to buy my first guitar
When the angels called her home
My sister asked if I would speak
But there were no words to say how much she meant to me

So I sang, "It Is Well With My Soul"
And I played, "I'm So Tired Of Being Alone"
'Cause those were Mama's favorite songs
And what I felt would take too long to say
So I sang
Yes, I sang
So I sang



Down Here lyrics - Darius Rucker

Down here where the cattails grow, down here where the kudzu grows.

The shrimps goin' in the low country boil,
radio playin' Haggard and Jones on a Saturday night, we're doin' alright,
fire up the Coleman ice down the long necks, it's goin' down out on the back deck,
everything's fine, in the southern moonlight.

It feels so good, with that cool breeze blowin' around
there ain't nothing wrong, with what's goin' on right now,
we got family, we got friends, we got ice cold beer,
I'm sure heavens nice, but tonight it ain't too bad down here.

Starlight eyes sitting at the table,
white cotton dress wrapped around an angel,
look at that smile, so beautiful without havin' to try,
she gives a little wink stars walkin' over,
hand on my hip head on my shoulder,
it ain't nothing like, her by my side.

It feels so good, with that cool breeze blowin' around,
there ain't nothing wrong, with what's goin' on right now,
we got family, we got friends, we got ice cold beer,
yeah I'm sure heavens nice, but tonight it ain't too bad down here.

Down here where the cattails grow, and the kudzu rows,
and the moon shines clear, might not be the streets of gold but it ain't too bad no.

Down here where the cattails grow, and the kudzu rows,
and the moon shines clear, might not be the streets of gold but it ain't too bad down here.

Yeah it feels so good with that cool breeze blowin' around
there ain't nothing wrong, nothing wrong, with what's goin' on right now,
we got family, we got friends, we got ice cold beer,
I'm sure heavens nice, but tonight it ain't too bad, down here,
ain't too bad down here, no, cause,
we got family, we got friends, we got ice cold beer,
yeah in my heart I know heavens nice but tonight it ain't too bad down here...



It's All Over lyrics - Darius Rucker

Hear footsteps creeping and the
Clock says it's four am
Ain't gonna let it slide again
This time, this time
No more pretending that
I don't know where you're at
I can't ignore the fact

It's all over your face
The lipstick and the lies
The truth you try to hide
But you just can't, just can't fake
The feelings you don't feel
Try to hide it but it's still
All over, all over your face

Hotel's been whispering
But I wasn't listening
Like a fool i was blinded, blinded
By the alibis you gave
And all the games you played
This time you can't be saved

It's all over your face
The lipstick and the lies
The truth you try to hide
But you just can't, just can't fake
The feelings you don't feel
Try to hide it but it's still
All over, all over your face

So don't even start your pleading and crying
Cause what you're selling baby I ain't buying
It's all over your face yeah

It's all over your face
The lipstick and the lies
The truth you try to hide
But you just can't, just can't fake
These feelings you don't feel
Try to hide it but it's still
All over, all over your face
Oh yeah, oh it's all over your face
The lipstick and the lies
Lipstick and the lies

I'll Be Home For Christmas lyrics - Darius Rucker

I'm dreaming tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know
It's a long road back, I promise you

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light beams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

Oh please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree

Oh Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light beams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams

White Christmas lyrics - Darius Rucker

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all
Your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops they glisten
And little children they listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

Oh I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

May your days
May your days
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white


Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow lyrics - Darius Rucker

Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss good night
How I'll hate to go out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is just so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss good night
How I'll hate to go out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still goodbying
As long as you love me so
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Let It Snow...

Winter Wonderland lyrics - Darius Rucker

Sleigh bells ring
Are you listening
In the lane
Snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away, is the bluebird
Here to stay, is a new bird
He sings a love song
As we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say Are you married
We'll say No Man
But you can do the job
When you're in town

Later on
We'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman
Until the other kids knock him down

When it snows
Ain't it thrilling
Though your nose is a chilling
We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland

To face unafraid
The plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland



Please Come Home For Christmas lyrics - Darius Rucker

Bells will be ringing the sad, sad news
Oh what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone, I have no friends
To wish me Christmas greetings once again

Choirs will be singin' "Silent Night"
Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas by New Year's night

Friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
But this is Christmas, yes Christmas my dear
The time of year to be with the one you love

So won't you tell me you'll never more roam?
Oh Christmas and New Year's will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief or pain
Then I'll be happy, happy once again

Friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
This is Christmas, yes Christmas my dear
The time of year to be with the one you love

So won't you tell me you'll never more roam?
Oh Christmas and New Year's will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief or pain
Then I'll be happy, happy once again

Ooh, there'll be no more sorrow, no grief, no pain
And I'll be happy Christmas once again



What God Wants For Christmas lyrics - Darius Rucker

Old man playing Santa Claus
Blew into town with old Jack Frost
Now he's handing out candy canes and smiles for free
People scurry with their lists
Rushing around to buy those gifts that will
End up wrapped up underneath the tree
I'm sitting at this red light looking at a manger scene
Watching snowflakes kiss that baby
And it makes me think

I wonder what God wants for Christmas
Something that you can't find in a store
Maybe peace on Earth, no more empty seats in church
Might be what's on His wishlist
I wonder what God wants for Christmas

What do you give someone
Who gave His only Son
What if we believe in Him
Like He believes in us

I wonder what God wants for Christmas
What might put a smile on His face
Every Bible with no dust, the devil giving up
Might be what's on His wishlist

I wonder what God wants for Christmas
What kind of gift from you and me
More sister, more brother, more lovin' one another
Yeah I wonder, I wonder what God wants
By now we oughta know what God wants for Christmas



Baby, It's Cold Outside (feat. Sheryl Crow) lyrics - Darius Rucker

(I really can't stay) But baby it's cold outside
(I've got to go away) But baby it's cold outside
(This evening has been) Been hoping that you'd drop in
(So very nice) I'll hold your hands they're just like ice
(My mother will start to worry) Beautiful what's your hurry
(My father will be pacing the floor) Listen to the fireplace roar
(So really I'd better scurry) Beautiful please don't hurry
(Well maybe just half a drink more) Put some records on while I pour
(The neighbors might think) Baby it's bad out there
(Say what's in this drink) No cabs to be had out there
(I wish I knew how) Your eyes are like starlight now
(To break this spell) I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
(I ought to say no no no sir) Mind if I move in closer
(At least I'm gonna say that I tried) What's the sense of hurting my pride
(I really can't stay) Baby don't hold doubt
[Both:] Baby it's cold outside

(I simply must go) But baby it's cold outside
(The answer is no) But baby it's cold outside
(The welcome has been) How lucky that you dropped in
(So nice and warm) Look out the window at the storm
(My sister will be suspicious) Gosh your lips look delicious
(My brother will be there at the door) Waves upon a tropical shore
(My maiden aunt's mind is vicious) Gosh your lips are delicious
(But maybe just a cigarette more) Never such a blizzard before
(I got to get home) But baby you'd freeze out there
(Say lend me your comb) It's up to your knees out there
(You've really been grand) I thrill when you touch my hand
(But don't you see) How can you do this thing to me
(There's bound to be talk tomorrow) Think of my life long sorrow
(At least they'll be plenty implied) If you caught pneumonia and died
(I really can't stay) Get over that old doubt
[Both:] Baby it's cold outside
[Both:] Baby it's cold outside

(I really can't stay)
[Both:] Baby it's cold outside
