Aaron Pritchett - My Way

There's a kind of lovin' that don't take much
It'll leave you colder than a stranger's touch
Some guys will lie late at night
Then they're gone by morning light

Chorus:
Well that ain't my way, baby sure enough
If you look my way you'll find my love
Strong as an oak solid as a pine
It shines like the stars above
My way is moonlit nights
Sunny days and treatin you right
You may have been in love before
But not my way

There's the kind of man knows all the lines
The body language, the zodiac signs
It's a cold cold game and he plays to win
But theres always a loser when that game ends

CHORUS

Well you may have been in love before
But not my way (my way)
My way

Aaron Pritchett - Right Down the Line

You know I need your love
You’ve got that hold over me
As long as I’ve got your love
You know that I’ll never leave

When I wanted you to shape my life
I had no doubt in my mind
That it was you, woman
Right down the line

I know how much I lean on you
Only you can see
The changes that I’ve been through
Have left a mark on me
You've been as constant as a northern star
The brightest light that shines
It's been you, woman
Right down the line

I just wanna say this is my way
Of telling you everything I could never say before
Yeah, this is my way of telling you that every day
I’m loving you so much more

Cause you believed in me
Through my darkest night
Put something better inside of me
You brought me into the light
Threw away all those crazy dreams
I put them all behind
And it was you, woman
Right down the line

Chorus

If I should doubt myself
If I'm losing ground
I won't turn to someone else
They'd only let me down
When I wanted you to shape my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it's been you, woman
Right down the line

Aaron Pritchett - Something Goin' On Here

I've thought about it, I've analyzed it
You kissin' me verifies it
Ooh, there's something goin' on here
It didn't take too much insistin'
Baby you can be so convincin'
Ooh, there's something goin' on here

No it doesn't take a genius to figure it out
We have this connection
Don't need a psychic to tell us our future's pointed in the right direction
Well take a spin, so jump on in, let's get this thing in gear
I'm really thinking
We got something goin' on here

My friends are gettin' tired of hearin' me talk about you
Oh but honey that's all I wanna do
I go on and on and on about what's goin' on here
We're comin' pickin' up speed
A wildflower growin' from an itty bitty seed
There's something goin' on here

No it doesn't take a genius to figure it out
We have this connection
Don't need a psychic to tell us our future's pointed in the right direction
So here we go, it's an open road, I'm seein' the sign so clear
I'm really thinkin' that we got something goin' on here

Yeah so here we go, it's an open road, let's get this thing in gear
I'm really thinkin' I'm really thinkin' yeah
What a trip, I'm lovin' it, I'm grinnin' from ear to ear
I'm really thinkin' that we got something goin' on here
We got something goin' on here
Yeah we do

Aaron Pritchett - Don't Even Think About It

I was thinking ‘bout the perfect words
To say to that living doll
By the time that I had worked it out
She was half way down the hall

My schoolboy fears of being shot down
Kept that dream from getting off the ground
Lookin back I figured out I thought about it too long

Sometimes you just gotta jump in, get yourself movin’
Countdown the clock is runnin
Sometimes there’s no time to doubt it, just gotta do it
Don’t even think about it

So, baby if it seems I’m coming on too strong
It’s just that I don’t want to feel this feeling gone
Cuz in this moment there could be a golden opportunity
To tell you what you mean to me
Don’t want to think about it too long

Chorus

Solo

Chorus

Don’t even think about it

Aaron Pritchett - Eighteen

That’s a death-deying walk she’s got
Dancing to the parking lot… oooo 18

What she does to t-shirts
Sure do make my eyes hurt… ooo, 18

Somebody ought to write a song about ut so I did
Makes me wish I was a kid again… 18

We were made out of asbestos
Dairy Queen for breakfast at 18… 18

Rock and roll was king
and cars were everything at 18… 18
Nobody could have told us anything and if they tried
It gave us something to fight about at 18

Blue jeans, young hearts knockin out big dreams
You and me work wer’re burning like gasoline
It’s amazing that we ever lived past… 18

Shooting city limit signs
Chasing girls and wasting time… ooo, 18
Pretending we were tough
Telling stories that we made up… ooo, 18

Dressing like the pictures hanging in our bedroom
We tore out of a magazine… at 18

Chorus

Cruisin in convertables, completely indestructible
We were hookin up and hangin out
Believing what we sang about… 18
Kroeger on a Friday night, making circles out of headlights
Yeah it felt so good being alive… 18

Aaron Pritchett - John Roland Wood

Go tell the sheriff, john roland wood’s found jesus
Now he’s living at the foot of the cross
He testified on the main drag this evening
Said he’s gonna spread the gospel to the lost

The meanest sinner to ever live and breathe
Said he’s been clean and sober for a week
He said his soul is not troubled anymore
He hocked his gun and gave the money to the lord

Go tell the sheriff, john roland wood’s found jesus
At a tent revival right outside of town
Oh what a friend this town has in jesus
If you look at what john roland has tore down

Before the spirit touched his soul
He kept the streets signs full of bullet holes
Back then when he was raising hell
You knew he was coming by the blue lights on this tail...look out

Go tell the sheriff, john roland wood’s found jesus
Now that water tower must be full of wine
Let not your weary heart be troubled
Turn your women and your children back outside

What will we do on friday nights
Without john roland shootin’ out the lights
Carry that ol’ jukebox away
He traded b-9 for amazing grace

Go tell the sheriff, john roland wood’s found jesus
Now he’s living at the foot of the cross

Aaron Pritchett - Little Things

Wake me up before you leave
I’d like to hear your voice one more time
If you do I can fall back to sleep
And drift off to dream with a smile


I’ll miss you while you’re gone
When you’re out I’ll get the laundry done

Some times all it takes
Is an unexpected “I love you”
To wrap your arms around the one that you love
That’s what it’s all about
It’s the little things that count

So when you find that special one
To stand beside you for the rest of your life
Those little things come naturally
A love like this is one of a kind

Even when I’m not with you
I can feel your love in everything you do

Chorus X 2

It’s the little things that count

Aaron Pritchett - Lucky for Me

my jaw hit the floor the day you walked in
all eyes were pointed in your direction
with nothing to lose i asked you to dance
i didn't think that i'd stand a chance but

chorus:
lucky for me you proved me wrong
(proved me wrong)
it was a roll of the dice
it was a shot so long
what started out as no hope in hell
has turned out heavenly
so lucky for me

just goes to show you cant judge a book by the cover
if i had i'd still be searching for another
i believed i was livin in a dream
and at any moment someone would wake me up but,
chorus 2x
yeah
lucky for me 5x

Aaron Pritchett - Perfectly Blue

Time can make lonely a fools paradise
Thought I was in heaven, alone every night
Before I met you I was perfect
Perfectly Blue

Change doesn’t come easy for the good or the bad
Honey you’re the best thing that I’ve ever had
Before I met you I was perfect
Perfectly blue

I used to cry out in the sun
To the dark side of a love I was accustomed
Then you came along
And turned my whole world
Upside down, upside down

I’m lost in your sweet love, ain’t cried for days
It’s so hard to be lonesome with a smile on my face
Before I met you I was perfect
Perfectly blue

Chorus


Oh, before I met you I was perfect
Perfectly blue

Aaron Pritchett - The Last Goodbye

Sprintime in Savannah
It don’t get much prettier than this
But it feels like it’s wintertime to me

The sky is clear and the sun is bright
I ain’t looking forward to the night
Cuz a cold chill is all I’m gonna feel

I’m so sorry, I know the fault is mine
I guess there’s nothing left to try
As you pack your bags I cannot deny
This is the last goodbye

We always managed to get through tough times
Without getting burned
I took you for granted and said you’d never leave
Now the tables have turned

I’m so sorry, I know the fault is mine
I guess there’s nothing left to try
As you walk away I cannot deny
This is the last goodbye

I never told you that I loved you
There was so much time
But now it’s too late… much too late

I’m so sorry, I know the fault is mine
I guess there’s nothing left to try
As you close the door and I begin to cry
This is the last
This is the last
This is the last goodbye

Aaron Pritchett - Tipjars and Teardrops

They say that music calms the savage beast
And helps a heartache settle down
That’s what I need tonight to sooth me
And dull her memory when it comes around

Tipjars and teardrops
Sad songs for lonely hearts
A temporary cure for the blues I got
I get loose when I hear guitars but then the music stops
And all that’s left is tipjars and teardrops

She used to fill my heart with melody
Lovin’ words I’d never heard before
Now without her I’m in quiet misery
And I can’t take this silence anymore

Chorus

I get loose when I hear guitars but then the music stops
And all that’s left is tipjars and teardrops

Aaron Pritchett - What Some People Throw Away

An old piece of rope held up his pants
As I backed up he threw up his hands
So, I got out and closed the door
And asked him what he stopped me for
He reached down and picked up a burlap bag
There at the city dump he showed me all he had

A blanket for the colder nights
An old King James and a pocket knife
A worn out watch and a lucky rabbits foot
A picture in a broken frame
He said, “I wish I knew her name”
As he gently brushed his hand across her face
“What some people throw away”

I turned to hide my tear-filled eyes
Then shook his hand and said goodbye
To me it was just a second load
But he held it like a bag of gold
I was too ashamed to tell him at the time
Everything he was holding was mine

A blanket for the colder nights
An old King James and a pocket knife
A worn out watch and a lucky rabbits foot
A picture in a broken frame
He’ll never know I knew her name
What I’d give to put that smile back on her face
“What some people throw away”

A picture in a broken frame
He’ll never know I knew her name
What I’d give to put that smile back on her face
“What some people throw away”

Oh, it broke my heart to hear that old man say
What some people throw away

Aaron Pritchett - You Can't Say I Didn't Love You

Well that's how it is when it's over and done
All bets are off and we both go runnin' for cover
Blamin' eachother
Yeah the grapevine will hum with the fiction or fact
Gets kinda messy in the aftermath of a meltdown
It's always a small, small town

Chorus:
You can doctor the spin when you tell all your friends
But you can't say that I didn't love you
Does it make me a jerk 'cause it just didn't work
When you can't say that I didn't love you
There were some things we could not overcome
But love or the lack of it never was one
You can put a new face on that old twist of fate
But deep down inside you can't say that I didn't love you

Now It's only normal to criticize
How it all went down 'cause the tension's running high
And we say things, that we don't mean
But that doesn't change last summer and fall
If that wasn't love then what do you call, september
Do you remember?

Chorus:2
You can doctor the spin when you tell all your friends
But you can't say that I didn't love you
You can vilify me to a certain degree
But you can't say that I didn't love you
There were some things we could not overcome
But love or the lack of it never was one
You can tailor the truth till it fits like a suit
But deep down inside you can't say that I didn't love you

There were some things we could not overcome
But love or the lack of it never was one

Chorus:3
You can doctor the spin when you tell all your friends
But you can't say that I didn't love you
Does it make me a jerk cause it just didn't work
When you can't say that I didn't love you
You can vilify me to a certain degree
But you can't say that I didn't love you
There were some things we could not overcome
But love or the lack of it never was one
You can put a new face on that old twist of fate
But deep down inside you can't say that I didn't love you

Aaron Pritchett - Weight

I pulled into Nazareth, I was
feelin' about half past dead;
I just need some place where
I can lay my head.
Hey, mister, can you tell me
where a man might find a bed?
He just grinned and shook my
hand, and "No!", was all he said.

Take a load off Anny,
take a load for free;
Take a load off Anny,
And you can put the
load right on me.

I picked up my bag, I went
lookin' for a place to hide;
When I saw Carmen and
the Devil walkin' side by side.
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on,
let's go downtown."
She said, "I gotta go, but my
friend can stick around."

Take a load off Anny,
take a load for free;
Take a load off Anny,
And you can put the
load right on me.

Go down, Miss Moses,
there's nothin' you can say
It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's
waitin' on the Judgement Day.
"Well, Luke, my friend, what
about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't
you stay and keep Anna Lee
company?"

Take a load off Anny,
take a load for free;
Take a load off Anny,
And you can put the
load right on me.

Crazy Chester followed me,
and he caught me in the fog.
He said, "I will fix your rags,
if you'll take Jack, my dog."
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester,
you know I'm a peaceful man."
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't
you feed him when you can."

Take a load off Anny,
take a load for free;
Take a load off Anny,
And you can put the
load right on me.

Catch a Cannonball, now,
to take me down the line
My bag is sinkin' low and
I do believe it's time.
To get back to Miss Anny,
you know she's the only one.
Who sent me here with
her regards for everyone.

Take a load off Anny,
take a load for free;
Take a load off Anny,
And you can put the
load right on me.

Aaron Pritchett - New Frontier

Wake up baby it’s time to leave,
We’ve got plans and we’ve got dreams, we’ve got a long way to go.
Pack up all of your emotions, all your faith and devotion.
We’re gonna need it this I know.
If you’re at the edge of the past, our futures unfolding fast.
Baby, don’t look back.

(Chorus)
We’re going to a new frontier, wide open without fear.
I’ll walk this winding road with you into the great unknown.
We’re going to a new frontier
Let’s trust our love will lead us right where we belong.
Walk on.

I can’t wait to get out of here,
The wind is up and the path is clear for the first time in my life.
Our destination don’t concern me, more and more I’m longing.
It’s the journey; it’s the ride.
Everything is within our grasp,
If we have the courage to ask and we don’t look back.

(Chorus)
We’re going to a new frontier, wide open without fear.
I’ll walk this winding road with you into the great unknown.
We’re going to a new frontier
Let’s trust our love will lead us right where we belong.
And walk on.

I know there’s no confusion where my heart is moving.
I know it’s true, I know it’s true.

(Chorus)
We’re going to a new frontier, wide open without fear.
I’ll walk this winding road with you into the great unknown.
We’re going to a new frontier
let’s trust our love will lead us right where we belong.
And walk on.

Aaron Pritchett - Bad for Good

Well, I changed my ways to please that woman
But that could never be good enough
I gave up drinkin and I took up churchin’
For a while it wasn’t tough
But barkeep I’ve made a decision
After doing the best I could
That for better or worse
I’m gonna be bad for good

So, bring on the whiskey
Turn up the jukebox loud
These boots were made for talking
Worn every woman around
I’m gonna wind it up tonight
A little tighter than I should
And for better or worse
I’m gonna be bad for good

I really like my reputation
And how I’m known all over town
Of being the first in my generation
To close every single honky tonk down
I’m gonna be a tough act to follow
Doin’ what I said I would
And for better or worse
I’m gonna be bad for good

Chorus

Solo

I’m gonna wind it up tonight
A little tighter than I should
And for better or worse
I’m gonna be bad for good
Yeah, for better or worse
I’m gonna be bad for good

Aaron Pritchett - Consider This

Things don't always work out like you plan
But you can't let that hold you back from tryin' again
I've been fallin' for you, you need not fear
I've got this propsition I think you should hear
Consider this, living life together
Consider this, seeing the world
Consider this, building a home of our own, a front porch, picket fence and 3 kids
Girl you and I we can't miss
Consider this
Consider this
Everyday is a new day, take it as it comes
Theres a world out there waiting so seize it and run
You've got nothin' to lose, and everything to gain
Won't you please consider what my heart has to say
Consider this, living life together
Consider this, seeing the world
Consider this, building a home of our own, a front porch, picket fence and 3 kids
Girl you and I we can't miss
Consider this
We can watch every sunset
Every storm roll in over the shore
Through the good and the bad girl we'll have our love
This could be everything you've dreamed of and more
Consider this, living life together
Consider this, seeing the world
Consider this, building a home of our own, a front porch, picket fence and 3 kids
Girl you and I we can't miss
Consider this
Consider this
Consider this.. seein the world
Consider this.. buildin a home
Consider this.. a front porch, picket fence
Consider this.. 3 kids
Consider this.. maybe 2 kids
Consider this.. every sunset
Consider this.. every storm

Aaron Pritchett - Heart Like a Hurricane

She’s not easy to get close to
When you’re on the outside looking in
Just when you think you’ve got her figured out
She’ll turn and run away again

She’s got a heart like a hurricane
Causing everyone around her pain
But in the eye of the storm
There’s a place that’s safe and warm
In her heart like a hurricane

If you think you can’t stand the weather
Afraid of running through the rain
Deep inside her soul
There’s a place where she can hold you
Close to her and never let you go

Chorus

Solo

Chorus

In her heart like a hurricane
In her heart like a hurricane

Aaron Pritchett - Lonely's to the Bone

I took her keys she took a cab
She made sure the front door slammed
Between the rain and the whiskey,
the whole thing's still a blur
She caught a plane to San Antone
i got that far then the trail went cold
Since then i haven't heard a
single word from her
Now i found out that

All i've lost is all i want
An all i'll ever need
And i realize the deepest cut
can take a while to bleed
Cause suddenly it hit me she
left me all alone
And leavin's only skin deep
but lonley's to the bone

The phone'll ring once or twice
I'tll be some number I don't recognize
But nobody's ever home when I call it back
The door's unlocked the coffee's on
The fire's burnin' but she still ain't home
Don't know if i'll ever learn to live with that
I found out that

All i've lost is all i want
An all i'll ever need
And i realize the deepest cut
can take a while to bleed
Cause suddenly it hit me she
left me all alone
And leavin's only skin deep
but lonley's to the bone

yea it would me so easy if
your memory'd just move on
But leavin's only skin deep
and lonley's to the bone
