Lauren Alaina - Dirt Road Prayer Lyrics

Lauren Alaina - Dirt Road Prayer Lyrics

Let the light shine on my mama
She’s been worried about me
And I can tell she’s tired
Walk my brother in a straight line

I know he’s only 16
But he’s been playing with fire
Give my grandpa a little peace and quiet
I can feel the years of hard work in his hands
Make my days pass just a little bit slower
I’ve been runnin’ so fast
I’ve forgotten who I am

And so I go where the green grass grows
The weeds are high and the sun hangs low
Look to the sky and I say, hello
Like it’s the very first time
It doesn’t matter how long it’s been
I can talk to God like he’s my best friend
Take my heart lay it down again right there
In a dirt road prayer

He’s a good guy
Looks dad in the eye
And I wonder if you made him just for me
But before I fall give me patience
Until you show me where to take this

And I go where the green grass grows
The weeds are high and the sun hangs low
Look to the sky and I say, hello
Like it’s the very first time
It doesn’t matter how long it’s been
I can talk to God like he’s my best friend
Take my heart lay it down again right there
In a dirt road prayer

It’s good to know I can
Always go where the green grass grows
The weeds are high and the sun hangs low
Look to the sky and I say hello, ooo yeah
It doesn’t matter how long it’s been
I can talk to God like he’s my best friend
Take my heart and lay it down again right there
In a dirt road prayer yeah, yeah
In a dirt road prayer yeah, yeah

Lauren Alaina - One Of Those Boys Lyrics

Lauren Alaina - One Of Those Boys Lyrics

I gotta little picture painted in my mind
Of that special, not so perfect guy
My heart wants me to find
He ain’t too pretty, he ain’t to sweet
A little rough around the edges

Cute and country just like me

[Chorus:]
One of those t-shirt, blue jean wearin’
Mama lovin’, fishin’ pole carryin;
Swears a John Deere revvin’ up
Is music instead of noise
Dirt road, 4-wheel drivin’
Riverside saturday night and
Sunday mornin’ church goin’ kinda boys

He ain’t gotta have money or a brand new truck
But he better shake my daddy’s hand
When he comes to pick me up
Gotta be a little reckless, a whole lotta fun
And he’s gotta know my midnight curfew
Don’t mean 12:01

[Chorus:]
One of those t-shirt, blue jean wearin’
Mama lovin’, fishin’ pole carryin;
Swears a john deere revvin’ up
Is music instead of noise
Dirt road, 4-wheel drivin’
Riverside saturday night and
Sunday mornin’ church goin’ kinda boys

One of those cornfed, bonfires
Goin’ down a hill in a tractor tire
Cow tippin’, rope swingin’
Backwoods, front porch swingin’ boys

Yeah
One of those t-shirt, blue jean wearin’
Mama lovin’, fishin’ pole carryin’
Swears a John Deere revvin’ up
Is music instead of noise
Dirt road, 4-wheel drivin’
Riverside saturday night and
Sunday mornin’ church goin’ kinda boys
Sunday mornin’ church goin’ kinda boys
Sunday mornin’ church goin’ kinda boys
Yeah

Lauren Alaina - Eighteen Inches Lyrics

Lauren Alaina - Eighteen Inches Lyrics

It’s about fifteen hundred miles to California,
They’ll get there Friday if they leave tonight,
She sneaks out at three thirty in the morning,
Leaves a note so she won’t see her daddy cry.

He cuts the engine when he coasts in the driveway,
She slides in and gives him one kiss for the road,
No friends and no family, no job out there waiting,
The whole town will call them crazy but they gotta go.

Cause when you’re young and in love, yeah,
You might do some things that don’t seem all that smart,
Cause there ain’t no greater distance
Than the eighteen inches from your head to your heart, yeah.

They can barely make rent on a rundown apartment,
She’s waiting tables and he’s a valet,
They’re behind on the bills and the car’s barely running,
But he buys a ring with the tips that he’s saved.

When you’re young and in love, yeah,
You might do some things that don’t seem all that smart,
Cause there ain’t no greater distance
Than the eighteen inches from your head to your heart.

Last thing they need is another mouth to feed, but they won’t call,
They’re just kids themselves but that’s gonna change in nine more months,

She wakes him up at three thirty in the morning,
Ready or not their new life’s gonna start,
Seven pounds and eighteen inches,
The doctor lays that new baby’s head right on her heart.

When you’re young and in love, yeah,
You might do some things that don’t seem all that smart,
But thank God for those eighteen inches,
The distance it is from your head to your heart, yeah, yeah, yeah

Lauren Alaina - The Locket Lyrics

Lauren Alaina - The Locket Lyrics

Back in ’41 you met a brown eyed boy who called you pretty
He’d walk everyday a couple miles out of his way to hold your hand and keep you company

Your mama said don’t call it love at 14
But sitting on that front porch swing

He gave you his picture in a locket that you wore around your neck
Left it right beside your heart so you would not forget
The way it felt when he held your hand
And you swore that you would never take it off
And the butterflies you felt said it all
You were falling with a boy inside your locket

Back in ’43 your brown eyed boy went over seas and had to leave town for a little while
He swore he’d marry you as soon as the war was through, you would be his wife
Standing in the pouring rain
You cried as you watched him ride away
But everyday

You had his picture in a locket that you wore around your neck
Left it right beside your heart so you would not forget
The way his kiss tasted on your lips
And everyday felt like a lifetime with him gone
And you prayed that God would bring him safely home
‘Cause you made a promise to the boy inside your locket

Oh, 60 years you two had together and he’s been gone for a couple now
And it breaks my heart to see you struggle to remember
And I’ve been writing all your memories down

And I stopped by today to read a couple pages
Grandma, you sure look pretty
And you smile that smile, the one I haven’t seen in quite a while
And you said to me, I want you to keep

His picture in a locket that I wore around my neck
The one I left beside my heart so I would not forget
The greatest love and the greatest man I’ve ever known
But it’s getting time for me to head on home
She said, that brown eyed boy is waiting and I don’t wanna keep him long
Heaven is calling, and she said, my heart is longing
For the boy inside your locket

Lauren Alaina - I’m Not One Of Them Lyrics

Lauren Alaina - I’m Not One Of Them Lyrics

Oh yeah, boy
You pull up in that jacked-up ride
Open the door on the passenger side
There’s a lot of girls who might
Wanna climb inside
But I’m not one of them

You start flashing that country boy grin
And your big city money clip
There’s a lot of girls who’d love to go cashing in
But I’m not one of them

Baby, baby
You’re gonna have to do better than that
If you want my love
You gotta give me some back
Give me something real
Not another come on, baby, come on
There’s a lot of girls who might
Just fall for what you got
But I’m not one of them

Now some may get into your kind of thing
That only you can make their little hearts sing
Well, you can go on thinking what you want to think
I’m not one of them

Baby, baby
You’re gonna have to do better than that
If you want my love
You gotta give me some back
Give me something real
Not another come on, baby, come on
There’s a lot of girls who might
Just fall for what you got
But I’m not one of them

I’m not some notch
On your Facebook wall
And I’m not some last chance
Midnight call

Baby
You’re gonna have to do better than that
If you want my love
You gotta give me some back
Give me something real
Not another come on, baby, come on, yeah

You’re gonna have to do better than that
If you want my love
You gotta give me some back
Give me something real
Not another come on, baby, come on
There’s a lot of girls
Who might just fall for what you got
But I’m not one of them
I’m not one of them

Lauren Alaina - She’s A Wildflower Lyrics

Lauren Alaina - She’s A Wildflower Lyrics

She was the kind of girl that never quite fit in
Holes in her shoes and freckles on her skin
Every time she saw those school doors open wide
She’d wanna turn around and run back home and hide
Yeah yeah yeah, oh

Got used to being stuck at the back of the line
The kind that kept her head down most of the time
Secret dreams ‘bout the boy in the high school band
And then wake up thinking she’d never had a chance

She’s a wildflower
That’s waitin’ on a sunny day
Just waitin’ on the winds of change to blow
Just a red hot spark that’s looking for a little flame, yeah
Trying to find the perfect place to grow
She’s a wildflower
She’s a wildflower

She makes a wish on every single star she sees
Yeah somewhere deep down she still believes
She prays every night before she goes to bed
Pretty soon her life is gonna change
She just doesn’t know it yet

She’s a wildflower
Just waitin’ on a sunny day
Just waitin’ on the winds of change to blow
Just a red hot spark that’s looking for a little flame, yeah
Trying to find the perfect place to grow
She’s a wildflower
She’s a wildflower

She’s a wildflower
Just waitin’ on a sunny day
Just waitin’ on the winds of change to blow
Just a red hot spark that’s looking for a little flame, yeah
Trying to find the perfect place
Yeah she’s trying to find a place
She’s a wildflower that’s waiting on a sunny day
She’s the secret that nobody knows
She’s a wildflower, she’s a wildflower, she’s a wildflower

Lauren Alaina - The Middle Lyrics

Lauren Alaina - The Middle Lyrics

I get this feeling every year, the first days of winter
Pull out that box of souvenirs, to read your old letters
In that stack of memories, found a note you left for me
It almost feels like you’re still here
I hear your voice in every word

You told me to remember

Take each day and make it last
Cause you turn around and the future is the past
Here and now is all we have
The beginning and the end mean so little
What matters most is what’s in the middle

Makes me smile when I look back to every summer
Forget your birthday and just laugh; say it’s just a number
But Sunday afternoons, they meant so much to you
The simple things were golden, you found beauty in every moment

Take each day and make it last
Cause you turn around and the future is the past
Here and now is all we have
The beginning and the end mean so little
What matters most is what’s in the middle

The day you’re born is just a start
Your last breath is a question mark
The story of your life is in the in-between

Take each day and make it last
Cause you turn around and the future is the past
Here and now is all we have
The beginning and the end mean so little
What matters most is what’s in the middle
What’s in the middle

Lauren Alaina - Tupelo Lyrics

Lauren Alaina - Tupelo Lyrics

Picked a wildflower off the side of the road
You put it in my hair
Two bare feet up on the dashboard
Hands waving through the summer air
Looking at you, looking at me
With the wind strapped to our backs
Flying as high as a bird in the sky

Don’t get much better than that

And we sang all the way down to Tupelo
Love struck right on the money
Heartbeats a beating to the radio
Kisses sweet as the honey
Down in Tupelo
All the way down to Tupelo

Counting the white lines a mile by mile
Worries slipping away
Took a back road for a little slow down
Off of the interstate
We followed the river as far as it goes
Smiling in the July sun
Hearing you say, you were falling in love
I said, you ain’t the only one

And we sang all the way down to Tupelo
Love struck right on the money
Heartbeats a beating to the radio
Kisses sweet as the honey
Down in Tupelo
All the way down

La la la la la la
Wind strapped to our backs
La la la la la la
Don’t get much better than that

And we sang all the way down to Tupelo
Love struck right on the money
Heartbeats a beating to the radio
Kisses sweet, kisses sweet

And we sang all the way down to Tupelo
Love struck right on the money
Heartbeats a beating to the radio
Kisses sweet as the honey
Down in Tupelo
All the way down to Tupelo

La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la

All the way down to Tupelo, yeah
All the way down to Tupelo
All the way down to Tupelo

Lauren Alaina - Growing Her Wings Lyrics

Lauren Alaina - Growing Her Wings Lyrics

Brother’s in the backyard diggin’ in the dirt
Mama’s in the kitchen in an old t-shirt
Daddy’s diesel’s coming up the street
And she’s in her bedroom growing her wings

Ready to Run in her headphones
Pretty in pink on all ten toes
Nose in a Cosmo magazine
All the junk mama says, she’s too young to read
Little do they know she’s growing her wings

They got her whole life on lockdown
Doing time behind her bedroom door
I guess it’s alright for right now
But outside her window there’s so much
More room for running and space to discover
A whole wide world to see
She’s dreaming about the girl she’s gonna be
Stuck in Rice County, growing her wings

The neighbor boy taught her how to French kiss
And daddy’s got eyes in the back of his head
He said, no dating ’til you’re 18
Now she’s in her room grounded, growing her wings

They got her whole life on lockdown
Doing time behind her bedroom door
I guess it’s alright for right now
But outside her window there’s so much
More room for running and space to discover
A whole wide world to see
She’s dreaming about the girl she’s gonna be
Stuck in Rice County, growing her wings

She wants to fly and never look down
But tonight she’s tucked inside a tiny little town
In a little twin bed all safe and sound

And there’s so much
More room for running and space to discover
A whole wide world to see
She’s dreaming about the girl that she’s gonna be
Stuck in Rice County, growing her wings
Growing her wings

Lauren Alaina - Georgia Peaches Lyrics

Lauren Alaina - Georgia Peaches Lyrics

Way beyond the city lights
Lies a cowboys paradise
Honeysuckle on the vine
Growing up on Southern time

Love to dance and love to flirt
Ain’t afraid of a little dirt
We ain’t late for Sunday church
Mama raised us not to curse

Whoa, our shorts’ a little shorter ’cause the sun’s a little hotter
Sipping lemonade, while we’re playin’ in the water
Whoa, whoa, whoa, ain’t nothing sweeter than us Georgia Peaches
Whoa, whoa, whoa, there’s a reason why the boys pick the Georgia Peaches

We grow where the grass is green
We got home grown in our jeans
We love country everything, from Alan Jackson to Aldean
Whoa, our drawl will drive you crazy when we wink and call you baby
You don’t stand a chance once you’ve seen a southern lady

Whoa, whoa, whoa, ain’t nothing sweeter than us Georgia Peaches
Whoa, whoa, whoa, there’s a reason why the boys pick the Georgia Peaches
Oh, ain’t nothing sweeter

Whoa, whoa, it don’t matter where you’re from come on in and have some fun
We’re gonna treat you like you’re one of us

Whoa, whoa, whoa, ain’t nothing sweeter than Georgia Peaches
Whoa, whoa, whoa, there’s a reason why the boys pick the Georgia Peaches

Lauren Alaina - Like My Mother Does LyricsLike

Lauren Alaina - Like My Mother Does Lyrics

People always say
I have a laugh like my mother does
Guess that makes sense
She taught me how to smile when things get rough
I’ve got her spirit, she’s always got my back
When I look at her I think I want to be just like that

When I love I give it all I’ve got
Like my mother does
When I’m scared I bow my head and pray
Like my mother does

She’s a rock, she is grace
She’s an angel, she’s my heart and soul
She does it all

When I love, I give it all I’ve got
Like my mother does
When I’m scared I bow my head and pray
Like my mother does

When I’m weak and unpretty
I know I’m beautiful and strong
Because I see myself
Like my mother does
