Becky was a beauty from south Alabama
Her daddy had a heart like a nine-pound hammer
Think he even did a little time in the slammer
What was I thinkin'?
She snuck out one night and met me by the front gate
Her daddy came out wavin' that twelve gauge
We tore out the drive he peppered my tailgate
What was I thinkin'?
Oh, I knew there'd be hell to pay
But that crossed my mind a little too late...
'cause I was...
[chorus:]
Thinkin' 'bout a little white tank top sittin' right
There in the middle by me
I was thinkin' 'bout a long kiss man just gotta get
Goin' where a night might lead
I know what I was feelin'
But what was I thinkin'... what was I thinkin'
By the county line the cops were nippin' on our heels
Pulled off the road and kicked it in four-wheel
Shut off the lights and tore through the corn field
What was I thinkin'?
Out the other side she was hollerin' faster
Took a dirt road and had the radio blastin'
Hit the honky tonk for a little close dancin'
What was I thinkin'?
Oh, I knew there'd be hell to pay
But that crossed my mind a little too late...
'cause I was...
[repeat chorus]
When a mountain of a man with a "born to kill" tattoo
Tried to cut in I knocked out his front tooth
We ran outside hood-slidin' like bo duke
What was I thinkin'?
I finally got her home at a half past too late
Her daddy's in a lawn chair sittin' on the driveway
Put it in park as he started my way
What was I thinkin', oh what was I thinkin'
Then she gave a come-and-get-me grin
And like a bullet we were gone again... 'cause I was
[repeat chorus]
Wish It Would Break Lyrics – Dierks Bentley
That old picture frame keeps hangin' 'round
Cause' I ain't ready yet to take it down
But every now and then I'll slam the door
Shake it loose and she'll hit the floor
But I can't throw a good thing away
I wish it would break
I swear my trucks got a haunted radio
Cause' I hear you in every song
But I know what the silence makes
Me do
So I keep givin' those buttons more abuse
I wonder how much punchin' it can take
I wish it would break
[chorus]
Then I could move on right on
Down the line
Where I don't see you need you
In my life
But you're wrapped around me
Your memory's bound me like a chain
I wish it would break
And this old heart of mine's got a mind of its own
And it's decided not to let you go
Even though your love's no longer here
It won't let me shed one tear
Cause' it's still holdin' onto yesterday
I wish it would break
[chorus]
I wish it would break
I wish it would break
Go on and break
Cause' I ain't ready yet to take it down
But every now and then I'll slam the door
Shake it loose and she'll hit the floor
But I can't throw a good thing away
I wish it would break
I swear my trucks got a haunted radio
Cause' I hear you in every song
But I know what the silence makes
Me do
So I keep givin' those buttons more abuse
I wonder how much punchin' it can take
I wish it would break
[chorus]
Then I could move on right on
Down the line
Where I don't see you need you
In my life
But you're wrapped around me
Your memory's bound me like a chain
I wish it would break
And this old heart of mine's got a mind of its own
And it's decided not to let you go
Even though your love's no longer here
It won't let me shed one tear
Cause' it's still holdin' onto yesterday
I wish it would break
[chorus]
I wish it would break
I wish it would break
Go on and break
Forget About You Lyrics – Dierks Bentley
I'm gonna build a fire in the middle of July
Burn your pictures and go for a drive
Down to the river watch the ink from your love letters fade
Come back home and turn that old mattress over
Pour out the whiskey try wakin' up sober
Gonna change it all tonight, gonna do whatever it takes
Yeah, cause I've lost weight and I've lost hair
And I don't intend to ever go back there
Drinkin and a-thinkin' 'bout a love that just wasn't true
There's a good chance I'll end up insane
Without enough sense to come in from the rain
My mind might be the last thing you make me loose
But I'll forget about you
I heard that old Jones song just the other day
'bout a man who took a broken heart to his grave
But I'll be damned if a memory's gonna lay me down
I might be walkin' around with a head full of air
Actin' kinda crazy but I don't care
A heart barely beatin' but I'll still be above the ground
Yeah, cause I've lost weight and I've lost hair
And I don't intend to ever go back there
Drinkin and a-thinkin' 'bout a love that just wasn't true
There's a good chance I'll end up insane
Without enough sense to come in from the rain
My mind might be the last thing you make me loose
But I'll forget about you
Cause I've lost sleep and I've lost years
And there aint no tellin' how many tears
My mind's gonna be the last thing you make me loose
But I'll forget about, I'll forget about you
I'll forget about you
Burn your pictures and go for a drive
Down to the river watch the ink from your love letters fade
Come back home and turn that old mattress over
Pour out the whiskey try wakin' up sober
Gonna change it all tonight, gonna do whatever it takes
Yeah, cause I've lost weight and I've lost hair
And I don't intend to ever go back there
Drinkin and a-thinkin' 'bout a love that just wasn't true
There's a good chance I'll end up insane
Without enough sense to come in from the rain
My mind might be the last thing you make me loose
But I'll forget about you
I heard that old Jones song just the other day
'bout a man who took a broken heart to his grave
But I'll be damned if a memory's gonna lay me down
I might be walkin' around with a head full of air
Actin' kinda crazy but I don't care
A heart barely beatin' but I'll still be above the ground
Yeah, cause I've lost weight and I've lost hair
And I don't intend to ever go back there
Drinkin and a-thinkin' 'bout a love that just wasn't true
There's a good chance I'll end up insane
Without enough sense to come in from the rain
My mind might be the last thing you make me loose
But I'll forget about you
Cause I've lost sleep and I've lost years
And there aint no tellin' how many tears
My mind's gonna be the last thing you make me loose
But I'll forget about, I'll forget about you
I'll forget about you
My Last Name Lyrics – Dierks Bentley
I learned how to write it when I first started school,
Some bully didn't like it, he said it didn't sound to cool,
So I had to hit him and all I said when the blood came,
It's my last name
Grandpa took of to europe to fight the germans in the war,
It came back on some dogtags nobody wears no more,
It's written on a headstone in the field where he was slain,
It's my last name
Passed down from generations too far back to trace,
I can see all my relations when I look into my face,
May never make it famous but I'll never bring it shame,
It's my last name
Daddy always told me far back as I recall,
Son, your part of somethin', you represent us all,
So keep it how you got it , as solid as it came,
It's my last name
Passed down from generations too far back to trace,
I can see all my relations when I look into my face,
May never make it famous but I'll never bring it shame,
It's my last name
So darlin' if you're wonderin' why I've got you here tonight,
I wanna be your husband, I want you to be my wife,
I ain't got much to give you but what I've got means everything,
It's my last name, oh, it's my last name
I learned how to write it when I first started school
Some bully didn't like it, he said it didn't sound to cool,
So I had to hit him and all I said when the blood came,
It's my last name
Grandpa took of to europe to fight the germans in the war,
It came back on some dogtags nobody wears no more,
It's written on a headstone in the field where he was slain,
It's my last name
Passed down from generations too far back to trace,
I can see all my relations when I look into my face,
May never make it famous but I'll never bring it shame,
It's my last name
Daddy always told me far back as I recall,
Son, your part of somethin', you represent us all,
So keep it how you got it , as solid as it came,
It's my last name
Passed down from generations too far back to trace,
I can see all my relations when I look into my face,
May never make it famous but I'll never bring it shame,
It's my last name
So darlin' if you're wonderin' why I've got you here tonight,
I wanna be your husband, I want you to be my wife,
I ain't got much to give you but what I've got means everything,
It's my last name, oh, it's my last name
I learned how to write it when I first started school
Bartenders, Etc... Lyrics – Dierks Bentley
Bartenders, Barstools and Barmaids
A jukebox and a pocket full of change
Just a few of my favorite things
Bartenders, Barstools and Barmaids
Bartenders listen when you talk
And barstools are there when you can't walk
And I'll always make a waitress my best
Until the music stops and closin' time begins
Bartenders, Barstools and Barmaids
A jukebox and a pocket full of change
Just a few of my favorite things
Bartenders, Barstools and Barmaids
Outside lies a heart that's been broke
And in here it's a world of song and smoke
That way my eyes and ears can lie to me
While I drink another shot of make believe
Bartenders, Barstools and Barmaids
A jukebox and a pocket full of change
Just a few of my favorite things
Bartenders, Barstools and Barmaids
Bartenders, barstools and barmaids
A jukebox and a pocket full of change
Just a few of my favorite things
Bartenders, Barstools and Barmaids
Bartenders listen when you talk
And barstools are there when you can't walk
And I'll always make a waitress my best
Until the music stops and closin' time begins
Bartenders, Barstools and Barmaids
A jukebox and a pocket full of change
Just a few of my favorite things
Bartenders, Barstools and Barmaids
Outside lies a heart that's been broke
And in here it's a world of song and smoke
That way my eyes and ears can lie to me
While I drink another shot of make believe
Bartenders, Barstools and Barmaids
A jukebox and a pocket full of change
Just a few of my favorite things
Bartenders, Barstools and Barmaids
Bartenders, barstools and barmaids
I Can Only Think Of One Lyrics – Dierks Bentley
Pullin' into the fast lane on the leavin' side of town
Just me and the dreams I've left undone
There's a whole lot of roads I can point this chevy down
But I can only think of one
On this river of concrete slab a man could drive for days
And let his imagination run
There's time for a million memories along the way
But I can only think of one, oh, I can only think of one
Summer down in gavelston, underneath the stars
A fire burin' on the sand, ragin' in our hearts
If there's a time in my whole life I've really been in love
I can only, I can only, I can only think of one
I'm not gonna back 'til I'm back to where you are
To undo the damage that's been done
There may be a hundred ways to mend this broken heart
But I can only think of one, oh, I can only think of one
Summer down in gavelston, underneath the stars
A fire burin' on the sand, and you back in my arms
If there's a time in my whole life I've really been in love
I can only, I can only, I can only think of one
Just me and the dreams I've left undone
There's a whole lot of roads I can point this chevy down
But I can only think of one
On this river of concrete slab a man could drive for days
And let his imagination run
There's time for a million memories along the way
But I can only think of one, oh, I can only think of one
Summer down in gavelston, underneath the stars
A fire burin' on the sand, ragin' in our hearts
If there's a time in my whole life I've really been in love
I can only, I can only, I can only think of one
I'm not gonna back 'til I'm back to where you are
To undo the damage that's been done
There may be a hundred ways to mend this broken heart
But I can only think of one, oh, I can only think of one
Summer down in gavelston, underneath the stars
A fire burin' on the sand, and you back in my arms
If there's a time in my whole life I've really been in love
I can only, I can only, I can only think of one
Is Anybody Loving You These Days Lyrics – Dierks Bentley
Midnight stoplight, happens everytime
Pretty girl in a car
No resemblance whatsoever
I wonder how you are
Constant question poundin' inmy brain
Is anybody lovin' you these days
Lonesome pillow sun comes yellow
I reach across the bed
Should be hurried workin' worries
I lie there instead
With the thought that's drivin' me insane
Is anybody lovin' you these days
[Chorus:]
Damn this small town every place that I go
I drive by your house, I see his car and I know
He's there with you, but when he kisses you
Think about the memories we made, and tell me
Is anybody lovin' you these days
Second chances, backward glances
Most people just say no
World keeps turnin', heart keeps yearnin'
I keep holdin' the hope
One day you might answer with my name
Is anybody lovin' you these days
Pretty girl in a car
No resemblance whatsoever
I wonder how you are
Constant question poundin' inmy brain
Is anybody lovin' you these days
Lonesome pillow sun comes yellow
I reach across the bed
Should be hurried workin' worries
I lie there instead
With the thought that's drivin' me insane
Is anybody lovin' you these days
[Chorus:]
Damn this small town every place that I go
I drive by your house, I see his car and I know
He's there with you, but when he kisses you
Think about the memories we made, and tell me
Is anybody lovin' you these days
Second chances, backward glances
Most people just say no
World keeps turnin', heart keeps yearnin'
I keep holdin' the hope
One day you might answer with my name
Is anybody lovin' you these days
My Love Will Follow You Lyrics – Dierks Bentley
Take your suitcase and take your heart
Take a train to the boulevard
My love will follow you, my love will follow you
You can try to lose yourself downtown
You can burn all your bridges down
My love will follow you, yeah my love will follow you
[chorus]
My love will follow you
Down every highway of your soul
You can leave me far behind
But my love will be your shadow
Everywhere you go
So close the door, turn in the key
Leave me here like a memory
My love will follow you, my love will follow you
Even on a road that takes you down where
Cords of human kindness come unwound
My love will follow you, yeah my love will follow you
[chorus]
If you should go so far, that you cannot get back
Girl, you may not remember, but my heart will not lose track
So go ahead and take that train
In my heart you'll still remain

So go ahead and take that train
In my heart you'll still remain
My love will follow you, my love will follow you
My love will follow you
Oh, follow you
My love will follow you
How Am I Doin' Lyrics – Dierks Bentley
It's strange to hear your voice
I did not expect for you to call
You wonder how I'm doin
How I'm holdin up
Since you did me wrong
[chorus]
Well how am I doin' since you did what you done to me?
I can't lie I sometimes cry when I think of how it used to be
I keep my friends with me, I stay busy and I don't get much sleep
Baby, that's how I'm doin since you did what you done to me
Well now wait one minute, I
Failed to mention
Those tears I cried, are tears of joy
Cause' it was no fun there
Under your thumb and
Now that we're done I'm
Gettin' right every night
With every single ever-lovin' girl in sight, so
[chorus]
Well when all my friends heard what a
You know what you were they
Took me out on the town
But then I heard our song and
I dance along but
It felt all wrong cause'
She was sweet, she let me lead
She never took her ever-lovin' eyes off me so

Well I don't know what you were thinkin'
Runnin' round on me

Distant Shore Lyrics – Dierks Bentley
Everyday I swim an ocean, fightin your memory like endless waves
I surrender to the truth, I'll always love you, but I know someday
I'm gonna reach the banks of a distant shore, where I won't miss you anymore
Once in a while I ride the river, of whiskey wishes from an old shot glass
But the way it used to be follows me downstream, so I keep knockin em back
Till I reahc the banks of a distant shore, where I won't miss you anymore
Someday I'm gonna get there, It migfht take my last prayer
One of these days I'm gonna cross that ocean,some sweet angel will set me free
And they'll tell my stories, sing a song about glory, and read Psalm 23
When I reach the banks of that distant shore, where I won't miss you anymore
Gonna rest my soul in the hands of the lord, where I won't miss you anymore
I surrender to the truth, I'll always love you, but I know someday
I'm gonna reach the banks of a distant shore, where I won't miss you anymore
Once in a while I ride the river, of whiskey wishes from an old shot glass
But the way it used to be follows me downstream, so I keep knockin em back
Till I reahc the banks of a distant shore, where I won't miss you anymore
Someday I'm gonna get there, It migfht take my last prayer
One of these days I'm gonna cross that ocean,some sweet angel will set me free
And they'll tell my stories, sing a song about glory, and read Psalm 23
When I reach the banks of that distant shore, where I won't miss you anymore
Gonna rest my soul in the hands of the lord, where I won't miss you anymore
I Bought The Shoes Lyrics – Dierks Bentley
Designer names and diamond rings
Are just some of the finer things
I thought it took to keep her saticfied
But a bank account and credit cards
A circle drive through an acre yard
Couldn't fill that lonesome feelin'
That she had inside
I bought her fancy clothes for all occasions
And that new car so she could go
Just any old where she pleased
I bought that golden band she wore
On the hand that closed the door
And I bought the shoes that just walked out on me
Leavin' early and stayin' out late
I thought for sure her love would wait
Until the day that I could find the time
But all the that she expected
Were all the things that I neglected
For what she wanted most from me
Would not have cost a dime
I bought her fancy clothes for all occasions
And that new car so she could go
Just any old where she pleased
I bought that golden band she wore
On the hand that closed the door
And I bought the shoes that just walked out on me
I bought the golden band she wore
On the hand that closed the door
And I bought the shoes that just walked out on me
Yes, I bought the shoes that just walked out on me
Are just some of the finer things
I thought it took to keep her saticfied
But a bank account and credit cards
A circle drive through an acre yard
Couldn't fill that lonesome feelin'
That she had inside
I bought her fancy clothes for all occasions
And that new car so she could go
Just any old where she pleased
I bought that golden band she wore
On the hand that closed the door
And I bought the shoes that just walked out on me
Leavin' early and stayin' out late
I thought for sure her love would wait
Until the day that I could find the time
But all the that she expected
Were all the things that I neglected
For what she wanted most from me
Would not have cost a dime
I bought her fancy clothes for all occasions
And that new car so she could go
Just any old where she pleased
I bought that golden band she wore
On the hand that closed the door
And I bought the shoes that just walked out on me
I bought the golden band she wore
On the hand that closed the door
And I bought the shoes that just walked out on me
Yes, I bought the shoes that just walked out on me
Whiskey Tears Lyrics – Dierks Bentley
There's things in my life that I've been missin'
The touch of a woman, and lovin' after dark
Come here lately with the woman I've been kissin'
She comes from Kentucky boys, and she don't have a heart
Bartender, he don't mind, he sets 'em up the same
I ain't been sober since it's over, got no plans to change
I traded my tomorrows to remain in yesterday
Whiskey tears are fallin' here and each one cries her name
I used to be so afraid of dyin'
I lived every moment for lovin' her
But when she walked away my heart quit tryin'
And now im no stranger to hurt
Bartender, he don't mind, he sets 'em up the same
I ain't been sober since it's over, got no plans to change
I traded my tomorrows to remain in yesterday
Whiskey tears are fallin' here and each one cries her name
Bartender, he don't mind he sets 'em up the same
Whiskey tears are fallin' here and each one cries her name
The touch of a woman, and lovin' after dark
Come here lately with the woman I've been kissin'
She comes from Kentucky boys, and she don't have a heart
Bartender, he don't mind, he sets 'em up the same
I ain't been sober since it's over, got no plans to change
I traded my tomorrows to remain in yesterday
Whiskey tears are fallin' here and each one cries her name
I used to be so afraid of dyin'
I lived every moment for lovin' her
But when she walked away my heart quit tryin'
And now im no stranger to hurt
Bartender, he don't mind, he sets 'em up the same
I ain't been sober since it's over, got no plans to change
I traded my tomorrows to remain in yesterday
Whiskey tears are fallin' here and each one cries her name
Bartender, he don't mind he sets 'em up the same
Whiskey tears are fallin' here and each one cries her name
