1. All I Want For Christmas Is A Real Good Tan

Ooh, don't you think it's a pretty good plan
All I want for Christmas is a real good tan

All I want for Christmas is a real good tan
Take me to the islands; put my feet in the sand
Rockin' to and fro with the rhythm of the ocean
Singin' Silent Night with the palm trees blowin'
Ooh, don't you think it's a pretty good plan
All I want for Christmas is a real good tan

Well if you're thinking 'bout getting me a present this year
Let me put a buck in your cute little ear
How about two tickets to a tropical shore
Where we don't have to wear these winter clothes anymore
Instead of turkey we'll have mahai mahai grill
And pina coladas in the blender chill

And all I want for Christmas is a real good tan
Take me to the islands; put my feet in the sand
Rockin' to and fro with the rhythm of the ocean
Singin' Silent Night with the palm trees blowin'
Ooh, don't you think it's a pretty good plan
All I want for Christmas is a real good tan

While everybody's prayin' for a Christmas of white
Come to think about it, that'd be alright
As long as there's sand and not snow on the ground
And everyday our skin gets a little more brown
And we'll string some lights on a coconut tree
I'll rub some oil on you; you can rub some on me

All I want for Christmas is a real good tan
I can see us baby on the beach hand in hand
Rockin' to and fro with the rhythm of the ocean
Baby won't you say you and me, we'll be goin'
Ooh, I can almost feel my toes in the sand
All I want for Christmas is a real good tan

Don't worry baby, we'll celebrate plenty
I'll buy you some shades and a brand new bikini
We won't have to worry about the holiday rush
It'll be you and me fallin' deeper in love

Ooh, don't you think it's a pretty good plan
All I want for Christmas is a real good tan
All I want for Christmas is a real good tan

2. Young

Lookin back now, well it makes me laugh,
we were growin our hair,
we were cuttin' class,
knew it all already there was nothing to learn,
we were strikin' matches just to watch 'em burn.

Listen to our music just a little too loud,
we were hangin' in there with the outcast crowd,
headin' to the rapids with some discount beer,
it was a long train tussle but we had no fear,

Man I don't know, where the time goes
but it sure goes fast, just like that,
We were wanna be rebels who didn't have a clue
In our rock n roll t-shirts and our typically bad attitudes
Had no excuses for the things that we'd done
We were brave, we were crazy, we were mostly
Young

Talked a good game, when we were out with the guys
But in the backseat we were awkward and shy,
Girls were a mystery that we couldn't explain,
And I guess there are some things that are never gonna change

Man I don't know where the time goes
But it sure goes fast, just like that
We were wannabe rebels that didn't have a clue
In our rock n roll teeshirts and our typically bad attitudes
Had no excuses for the things that we'd done
We were brave, we were crazy, we were mostly
Young
Young, young, Yeah and wishing we were older
Young, Hey I wish it wasn't over

Man I don't know, where the time goes,
but it sure goes fast, just like that
We were wanna be rebels that didn't have a clue
In our rock n roll t-shirts and our typically bad attitudes
Had no excuses for the things that we'd done
We were brave, we were crazy, we were mostly
Young

Young, Hey and wishing we were older
And I wish it wasn't over

 

[ Kenny Chesney lyrics ]

3. I Remember

sittin here alone, thoughts of you run wild
i'm longin for your touch, haunted by your smile
no use in tryin to erase, no one could ever take your place

i remember how it used to feel back when
our love was strong and real
and i remember tears in your eyes
when i looked at you and said goodbye
all i want right now is to forget every single thing that i regret
drown out these embers but i remember

it's yesterday again, here inside my mind
i can't find a way to leave your love behind
i wanna wake up to the day your memory won't stand in my way

i remember how it used to feel back when
our love was strong and real
and i remember tears in your eyes
when i looked at you and said goodbye
all i want right now is to forget every single thing that i regret
drown out these embers but i remember

i wanna wake up to the day your memory won't stand in my way

i remember how it used to feel back when
our love was strong and real
and i remember tears in your eyes when
i looked at you and said goodbye
drown out these embers but i remember oooooooh

and i remember ooooh
oh i remember you baby
oh all of you now baby

4. A Lot Of Things Different, A

I'd of spent a lot more time in the pouring rain
without an umbrella coverin my head
And I'd have stood up to that bully when he pushed
and called me names, but I was too afraid
And I'd have gone and saw Elvis that night he came to town
But momma said I couldn't
And I'd have went skinny dippin with Jenny Carson
that time she dared me to, but I didn't

O I, I'd done a lot of things different

I wish I'd have spent more time with my dad when he was alive
Now I don't have the chance
And I wish I had told my brother how much I love him
before he went off to war, But I just shook his hand
I wish I'd have gone to church on Sunday morning when my
grandma begged me to, But I was afraid of God.
And I wish I'd have listened when they said boy
you're gonna wish you hadn't, But I wouldn't

O I, I'd done a lot of things different

People say they wouldn't change a thing
Even if they could
O but I would

There was this red dress she wanted one time so bad she
could taste it I should of bought it, but I didn't
She wanted to paint our bedroom yellow and trim it in
blues and greens, But I wouldn't let her
Wouldn't have hurt nothin'
She loved to be held and kissed and touched
But I didn't do it not nearly enough
And if I'd of know that dance was gonna be our last dance
I'd of asked that band to play on and on, on and on

O I, I'd done a lot of things different

People say they wouldn't change a thing
Even if they could
O but I would
oo, oo
O I, I'd done a lot of things different
O I, I'd done a lot of things
I think we'd all do a lot of things different

5. The Good Stuff

Well me and my lady had our first big fight
So I drove around till I saw the neon lights
The corner bar
It just seemed right, so I pulled up
Not a soul around but the old bar keep
down at the end lookin' half asleep
He walked up and said "What'll it be?"
I said,''The good stuff"
He didn't reach around for the whiskey
He didn't pour me a beer
His blue eyes kind of went misty
He said, "You can't find that here."

CHORUS 1
Cause its the first long kiss on a second date
your momma's all worried when you get home late
Droppin the ring in the spaghetti plate
cause your hands are shakin so much
It's the way that she looks with the rice in her hair
Eatin' burnt suppers the whole first year
and askin for seconds to keep her from tearin' up
Yeah man, that's the good stuff

He grabbed a carton of milk
and he poured a glass
then I smiled and said,
"I'll have some of that."
We sat there and talked as an hour passed
like old friends
Saw a black and white picture and it caught my stare
It was a pretty girl with bouffant hair
He said, "That's my Bonnie, taken 'bout a year after we wed."
He said, "Spent 5 years in the bottle, when the cancer took her from me,
But Ive been sober 3 years now
'Cause the one thing stronger than the whiskey

Chorus 2
Was the sight of her holdin' my baby girl
The way she adored that string of pearls
I gave her the day that our youngest boy Earl,
married his high school love
and it's a new t-shirt saying "I'm a grandpa"
and being right there as our time got small,
And holdin her hand when the good Lord called her up
Yeah man, That's the good stuff

BRIDGE
He said, ''When you get home she'll start to cry,
When she says, ''Im sorry,'' say ''So am I''
Then look into those eyes so deep in love
and drink it up
'Cause thats the good stuff
That's the good stuff

6. Big Star

She was aware of her insecurities as she took the stage
She was convinced if she got up there that
She'd be discovered someday

So she belted it
She hit the high notes fearlessly
Oh she melted them
As she brought them to their feet

Chorus:
She was a big star
At Banana Joe's bar
Where she sang karaoke every night
She said if you work hard to get where you are
It feels good in the hot spot light
She was a big star

She made the local cable shows
Where the camera fell in love with her face
After a couple of weekends
The groupies were crawling all over the place

She signed autographs
Like she was Garth Brooks in a skirt
And in the aftermath
That small time town was hers

Chorus

She doesn't care anymore
That her high school girlfriends cut her down
The only thought she entertains is where they are
And where she is now

Her old neighbors swear they're certain
she slept her way to the top
She knows you don't get where your going
Less you got somethin they ain't got

So she sings tonight
To 20,000 plus
And the young girls scream out loud
"Man that could be us"

She's a big star
As she eats caviar
Just before she performs every night
She says if you work hard
To get where you are
It feels good in the hot spot light
She's a big star
She's a big star

7. On The Coast Of Somewhere Beautiful

i knew i could never hold that girl
she was born to see the world
all i got is a picture she mailed me
barefoot in the snowwhite sand
bag of seashells in her hand
she finally found a paradise it seems

*chorus*
on the coast of somewhere beautiful
tradewinds blowin through her hair
sunlight dancin on the water
and i wish i was there
dont know how im gonna find her
and all i know so far
shes on the coast of somewhere beautiful
runnin with my heart

sometimes when the sun goes down
shadows fall across this little town
and i close my eyes and i drift away...
to another place and another time
when the world was ours and she was mine
i dream of holdin her again some day

*chorus*
on the coast of somewhere beautiful
tradewinds blowing through her hair
sunlight dancin on the water
and i wish i was there
dont know how im gonna find her
and all i know so far
shes on the coast of somewhere beautiful
runnin with my heart

dont know how im gonna find her
and all i know so far
shes on the coast of somewhere beautiful
runnin with my heart

oh
shes runnin
with my heart
on the coast of somewhere beautiful

8. Never Gonna Feel Like That Again

Friday night, butterflies - Like clock work, they'd arive
A little chill in an October sky - Nervous til' the kickoff came
Four quarters, win or lose - Spent Saturdays black and blue
But it was what I loved to do and it was more than just a game

It was my life and it was fun - Another season of my life, it's done
Another race I'm glad I got to run - Another chapter of my life, it's over
No, I'm never gonna feel like that again - Time's rushin' by me like the wind
Never be as young as I was then - No, I'm never gonna feel like that again

Practice dancin' in my garage - Two left feet and a white corsage
Daddy let me borrow the Dodge - Said "Don't bring her home on empty."
I swung by and picked up Cindy Lou - Took her to the prom for a dance or two
Then we drove down to the water, blue - And that's where she kissed me

It was my life and it was fun - Another season of my life, it's done
Another race I'm glad I got to run - Another chapter of my life, it's over
No, I'm never gonna feel like that again - Time's rushin' by me like the wind
Never be as young as I was then - No, I'm never gonna feel like that again

I got a call one July day - Cindy Lou was in that way
I had a big decision to make, and I couldn't take it lightly
At first I thought of leavin town - But I couldn't let our families down
Now I'm out here throwin this ball around with a boy that looks just like me

Well, it's my life and it's sure fun - Another season of my life's begun
Another race I'm glad I get to run - Another chapter of my life, I'm writing
No, I'm never gonna feel like this again - Time's rushin' by me like the wind
Gotta grab each moment that I can - Cuz' I'm never gonna feel like this again

No, I'm never gonna feel like this again
No, I'm never gonna feel like this again

9. Dreams

she says most men her age want younger women
she thinks her self esteem is not quite itself anymore
but she sees herself as more than what the mirror shows
why thats so important heaven only knows
when the important part for her is souls and hearts and

Chorus:
dreams, sharing a life and a home
(dreams)never ever being alone again
(dreams)not even diamonds just a little gold
someone there to hold her hand when she gets old
dreams, the kind you know will never end
forever lovers and forever friends
someone really there, to love and care and share
dreams

she swears she won't divorce a third time
she swears the more she knows about love, the harder it is to find
the perfect picture of her white horse prince,
is now dependability and common sense
someone kind and brave, someone not afraid of

chorus 2x

she says most men her age want younger women

10. No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems

I've been up to my neck
working six days a week
wearing holes in the soles
of the shoes on my feet
been dreamin of getting away
since I dont know
ain't no better time than now...
for Mexicoooo

No shoes no shirt no problem
blues what blues....hey I forgot em'
the sun and the sand
and a drink in my hand
with no bottom
and no shoes, no shirt, no problems

no problems

want a towel or a chair
in the sand by the sea
wanna look through my shades
and see you there with me
wanna soak up life for awhile
and lay back low
no boss no clock no stress
no dress code

No shoes no shirt no problem
blues, what blues?
hey I forgot em
the sun and the sand
and a drink in my hand
with no bottom
no shoes, no shirt, no problems

babe lets get packed
tank tops and flip flops
if you got em
no shoes no shirts no problems
no problems

11. Live Those Songs

Saw him sittin on a sidewalk in Fresno
Braided hair and a tye-dyed t-shirt on
Talkin to himself about Vietnam
Bout the tour he did and the deal he got
He said this world ain't the same if you ask me.
If I could be somewhere else, I'd tell you where I'd be

I'd be rollin' on a river with Credence
Stealin' kisses from Peggy Sue
I'd be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach
In the spring of '72
I'd be wastin' away on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll in
He said what I wouldn't give just to live those songs again.

Saw him workin' the counter at Walgreens
With a new haircut and a Bachelor's Degree
Talkin' to himself about his raw deal
Cussin' Uncle Sam and the GI bill
He said This world ain't the same if you ask me
If I could be somewhere else, I'd tell you where I'd be

I'd be rollin' on a river with Credence
Stealin' kisses from Peggy Sue
I'd be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach
In the spring of '72
I'd be wastin' away on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll in
He said what I wouldn't give just to live those songs again.

He said This world ain't the same if you ask me
If I could be somewhere else, I'd tell you where I'd be

I'd be rollin' on a river with Credence
Stealin' kisses from Peggy Sue
I'd be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach
In the spring of '72
I'd be wastin' away on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll in
He said what I wouldn't give just to live those songs again.

12. One Step Up

Woke up this mornin
The house was cold
Checked the furnace she wasn't burnin'
Went out and hopped in my old Ford
Hit the engine but she ain't a turnin
Given each other some hard lessons lately
But we ain't learnin
Same sad story thats a fact
One step up and two steps back

Bird on a wire outside my motel room but he aint singin
Girl in white outside a church in June
but the church bells they aint ringin'
Sittin' here in this bar tonight
and all I'm thinkin is
Im the same old story same old act
One step up and two steps back

It's the same thing night all night
Who's wrong and baby who's right
Another fight and I slam the door on
Another battle in our dirty little war
When I look at myself I dont see the man I wanted to be
Somewhere along the line I slipped off track
movin one step up and two steps back

Theres a girl across the bar
I get the message shes sendin
Mmm she aint lookin too married
Me well honey im pretending
Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms
the music was never endin'
we danced as the evening sky faded to black
movin one step up and two steps up
(one step up and two steps back)
one step up and two steps back
(one step up and two steps back)
One step up and two steps back
(one step up and two steps back)
one step up and two steps back

ohhh..baby we're movin

One step up and two steps back
One step up and two steps back
One step up and two steps back
mmm..one step up and two steps back
(one step up and two steps back)
(one step up and two steps back)

13. I Can't Go There - (bonus track, acoustic version)

You know that restaurant on Highway One
With the key lime pie, that song, the sand, and the sun
Where we ran in our bare feet - Built a castle on the beach
Just the wind, the rocks, the waves, and you and me

I can't go there - Cuz' that's just too much us
I can't go there - I still feel your touch
There's places in my heart and head - That feel as empty as our bed
So most nights I don't even walk upstairs - Cuz' I can't go there

Remember San Fransisco on that cable car
Our reflection in the window of that store
How we danced the night away - With the light down on the bay
Then wound up in a blanket on the floor

I can't go there - Cuz' Frisco's too much us
I can't go there - I still feel your touch
Now there's places in my heart and head - That still feel as empty as our bed
So most nights I don't even walk upstairs - Cuz' I can't go there

If it was only Florida or California - Maybe I could let myself move on
But it's everywhere we've been - And everywhere I turn
And I can't love again - Because' I've learned

I can't go there - it's something I can't do
I can't go there - I run into you
I can't go there

*Tim McGraw*
*When the sun shines - When it rains*
*Christmas parties - Football games*
(I can't go there)
*Winter, summer, fall, or spring*
*I see you in everything*

I can't go there - Too much us
I can't go there
 

[ Kenny Chesney lyrics ]

14. There Goes My Life

All he could think about was:
"I'm too young for this.
"Got my whole life ahead.
"Hell, I'm just a kid myself:
"How 'm I gonna raise one?"
All he could see were his dreams,
Going up in smoke.
So much for ditchin' this town,
An' hangin' out on the coast.
Oh well, those plans are long gone.

And he said: "There goes my life.
"There goes my future, my everything.
"Might as well kiss it all good-bye:
"There goes my life."

A couple years of up all night,
An' a few thousand diapers later.
That mistake he thought he made,
Covers up the refrigerator:
Oh yeah, he loves that little girl.

An' Momma's waiting to tuck her in,
As she fumbles up those stairs.
She smiles back at him,
Dragging that teddy bear:
"Sleep tight." Blue eyes and bouncing curls.

An' he smiles: "There goes my life
"There goes my future, my everything."
"I love you, Daddy, goodnight."
"There goes my life."

She had that Honda loaded down,
With Abercrombie clothes,
An' and fifteen pairs of shoes,
An' his American Express.
He checked the oil and slammed the hood,
Said: "You're good to go."
She hugged them both,
An'd headed off to the west coast.

An' he cried: "There goes my life.
"There goes my future, my everything.
"I love you, baby, good-bye.
"There goes my life.
"There goes my life.
"Baby, good-bye."
