JS Country – Lyrics

I Like My Country
Words and Music by Johnny Searfoss

Get up off that lazy ass   And tell your brain, to tell your body
Tell your legs to move your feet
The band is really thumpin’, music blarin’,  speaker’s pumpin’
You can hear it all the way down the street
At your favorite local bar  There’s some red hot lead guitar
What a perfect way to end your week

I like my country with a little rock-n-roll
I like my R&B sprinkled with some blues and soul    
So crank up the volume,  I  am ready to go
I  like my country with a little rock-n-roll

All week long, you punch your card, you’re workin’ hard
With disregard, your boss don’t even   know you’re there
Nobody seems to get it, they just won’t give you no credit
It’s enough to make you pull some hair 
But the weekend’s finally here, music makes you shift your gears
With the sounds of country filling the air

I like my country with a little rock-n-roll
I like my R&B sprinkled with some blues and soul
I’ve been around the world and everywhere I go
They love their country with a little rock-n-roll 

Solo

Yes, I love my country with a little rock-n-roll
I love my R&B sprinkled with some blues and soul 
So crank the  volume up cause I am ready to go
I love my country with a little rock-n-roll
They love their country with a little rock-n-roll 

Me & You
Words & Music by Johnny Searfoss

It started with a harmless flirt one fine sunny day
Walking hand in hand, on the beach starin’ out at the waves
At night the moonlight shinning on your lips
I’d be crazy not to lean in for the kiss
Now, I’m thanking my lucky stars in the sky above

When I say “love, love love” you know I’m thinking of you
If I say “fun, fun, fun” it’s everything that we do
From the morning when I rise
‘Til it’s late and we kiss goodnight, I know
Nobody does love better than me and you
Than me and you

I love how we keep us warm on those cold Winter nights
You fit me just like a glove all cozy and nice
When we curl up close to the fire
There ain’t nothing in the world gets me higher
Then when we pull in close and we look in each other’s eyes

And I see “love, love, love” when I’m looking at you
And we got “fun, fun, fun” custom made for two
It didn’t take too long to find out
That we’re the real deal, no doubt
I know, nobody does love better than me and you
Than me and you

When I say “love, love, love” girl I’m talking about you
And it’s “fun, fun, fun” every time that we do
Every morning when I rise
I can’t wait to look into your eyes, I know
Nobody does love better than me and you
Than me and you

Here They Come (Ode To NASCAR)
By Johnny Searfoss

Here they come… There they go
Here they come… There they go
Here they come baby… There they go whoa oh
Here they come now momma, drink a beer

I drove for two days on 80 now I’m cruisin’ on 115
I’m gonna enter gate 7, hit the showers, grab something to eat
I’ve been jonesin’ 9 months and the Summertime is finally here
Saved my money, took vacation, drove all night just so I could hear…
“Gentlemen, start your engines”!

Here they come… There they go
Here they come… There they go
Here they come baby… There they go whoa oh
Here they come now darlin’, drink a beer

I tip my hat to Mr. Ward for his legendary unique design
It’s gotta 14, 9 and 6 degree the Triangle is one tricky ride!
You can sit near turn1 or do the front stretch the views just fine
Some like it better on turn 3 and the veteran fans they sit up high (So high)

Here they come… There they go
Here they come… There they go
Here they come baby… There they go whoa oh
Here they come now momma, drink a beer

Solo

I know that one day soon, I’m gonna hit that lottery
I’ll drop five large on a Track side with my new RV
Until that day comes girl you know what I wanna do
I’m gonna share my infield with you and the Red, White & Blue

Here they come… There they go
Here they come… There they go
Here they come baby… There they go whoa oh
Here they come now momma, drink a beer

Here they come now baby, drink a beer

Here they come now darlin’, drink a beer

That Soundcheck Song
WORDS & Music by Johnny Searfoss

Check one, two, three…   (Spoken) “Can I get a little more monitor please?”

There’s a million bands playing every week on a stage or in a honky tonk bar
And you can bet each one of those musicians, thinks he or she’s the biggest star
That’s why we need a man who understands exactly when to turn the mics up and down
He does it night after night, ‘til he gets it right, while we’re playin’ from town to town

Check one, two, three I can hear everyone but me
I can’t hear no lead guitar, the kick drum’s too loud by the bar
Spinnin’ knobs and turnin’ dials ‘til the audience is one big smile
If what you’re hearing is right or wrong, we must be playing that soundcheck song

Now, the audience is Heavenly and they sure love to hear the band
But, there’s one thing that we gotta do, they really don’t understand
Why do we play the first verse, over and over?  Startin’ and stopin’ just when…
They think we’re gonna play the entire song, the singer starts over again

Check two, three, four I just can’t take this volume any more
The feedback’s startin’ to hurt my ears, the crew just finished drinkin’ ten more beers
Pushin’ buttons and movin’ faders, it’s getting’ deep I should have worn my waders
The band is smokin’ like a hippie’s bong, I guess we’re playin’ that ol’ soundcheck song

Solo

Check one, two, three it sounds just like a symphony
We finally made it to the stage, our brand new single is all the rage
So, grab your glass and raise your beer, it’s time to toast the sound engineer
For workin’ late and stayin’ long, and kickin’ ass on that soundcheck song!

I’m Over You
Words and Music by Johnny Searfoss

An old friend of mine saw me in the store today
She said she couldn’t believe two years went by, she was sorry it turned out this way
I said the girl’s are fine, they’re growing up like vines
And some of the deeper wounds have healed, it just takes time
And my kids they mean the world to me, you know that’s true
But I’m over you

I’m over sleeping all alone, side by side in our bed
Lying wide awake with these thoughts in my head
A warm set of lips on a cold cheek, walkin’ out the door
I’m done with reachin’ for the stars when there’s nothin’ but clouds
Holdin’ back my feelings when I wanna shout loud
My reasons for believing have changed from four to two
‘Cause I’m over you

My whole life has changed and I’m a brand new man
I found my way out of the darkness and I am drivin’ by a better plan
She doesn’t hold me back, she supports the things I do
My family is here for me, they’re always there to help me through
And I have no regrets now, I finally see the truth
And I’m over you

I’m over playing “things are fine” with my family and friends
Making these excuses is a means to an end
I gave you my best, my best just wouldn’t do
Now, it’s cold and empty from dusk to dawn
I did everything I could now, it’s time to move on
I held on to hope to all the hope was gone
And I’m over you|

Gunslinger
By Johnny Searfoss

Take care not to cast a shadow
If you do, he’ll know you’re there
When you turn to aim, like a demon flame
He will vanish in the air
This restless renegade
No one could hope to save
For a piece of gold
He stole their souls
And sent many men to their graves

Hey!
Gunslinger
Gunslinger

Spent half his life behind a gun
The other half on the run
He’s damned to be, for eternity
He will curse the new day sun
On Boot Hill lies a stone
That bears the name “unknown”
Though the mission bell
Calls souls to Hell
He will never find a home

Yeah!
Gunslinger
Gunslinger

Whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa

Solo

Gunslinger, Yeah!
Gunslinger

Thank You Mama
Words & Music By Johnny Searfoss

Thank you mama, for giving me everything
For seeing the best in me, for helping me to believe
And thank you mama, for helping me grow to be this man
With patience to understand, to love and lend a hand
I owe it all to you, you know it’s true

Thank you mama

When I had my doubts, You helped me figure out
The best way to conquer all my fears
The sacrifices you gladly made, gave strength to me and paved the way
So, I could face the world out on my own

Thank you mama

Solo

And thank you mama, for being my inspiration
Each day I thank the Lord above, for blessing my life with you and your love
And I just want thank you mama, for giving me all these memories
|To cherish everyday, that’s why it’s easy for me to say
I owe it all to you… you know it’s true

Thank you mama
(Spoken) “I love you, mama”

The Bottle Or The Bible
Words and Music by Johnny Searfoss

Ooh…

Yes, your honor I was at the party about 6 to 8 weeks ago
And, I’m sure if I take that paternity test, I’ll be a free man walking out the door
I’m sure the baby daddy’s name is really Jack Daniels  or maybe even Johnny Walker
All my cheek got was a peck and I showed nothing but respect
And may I say sir, you’ve got yourself a lovely daughter

So, Father won’t you bless me for I have surely sinned
I tried to steer clear of that demon water but, it snuck right past my lips
I better get me a real good lawyer,  ‘cause this time I am surely liable
I guess it comes right down to what I need more,  the bottle or the Bible

Mr. Ossifer please, excuse me  I’m only kidding, I don’t speak Japanese
Yeah, we were parked in the intersection just sleeping in my car but, I swear I didn’t have any keys
And Ms. Ossifer won’t you please excuse me, I’m really not as think as you drunk I am
And I’m real sorry that I called you officer sir, when it’s clear to see that you’re a m’am

So, Father it’s been 6 cases of whiskey, since my last confession
I promise I’ll say 3 Hail Mary’s more, ‘cause this time I surely learned my lesson
Please, ask the Lord to send me my angel (send me my angel)  I am waiting on her arrival
I guess it comes straight down to what I believe more, the bottle or the Bible

Solo

So, Father won’t you please bless me for I have surely sinned
I tried to stay real sober but over and over, that ol’ Devil made me do it again
I ‘ve been baptized in my 100 proof water and it’s time for my revival  (Amen)
I guess it comes right down to what I need more,  the bottle or the Bible
I guess it comes right down to what I love more,  the bottle or the Bible

Those Original Red Neck Girls
Words and Music by Johnny Searfoss

I’m in love with them original red neck girls
They’re the real deal man, you know they rule the world
They ain’t no plastic, phony Barbie dolls
You don’t need to drop them off at the local mall
They understand about a boy’s night out
They never piss or moan or stay at home and pout
Those red neck girls they really, rule my cowboy world

Red neck girls are a ton of fun  they’re like BBQ sauce on string bikinis
And in the morning when it’s time to go they just, disappear like Harry Houdini
Them Daisy dukes, they’re  a perfect fit  She’s smokin’ hot just like an oven mit
She doesn’t care when I chew and spit she’ll even, take the can outside and empty it

That’s why I love my original, red neck girl
She is the genuine item in a stuck up world
She don’t act like she’s some debutante
She likes her ice cold beer and dines at Pizza Hut
Stayin’ home is not a reason to fight
She loves to watch football  on a Saturday night
My red neck girl she really rules my cowboy world

I like a girl with a fishin’ pole  one who will spend the whole day down at the Honey Hole
A girl that hunts now, that’s my kind of fun  I love a down-home honey with her own shot gun
She loves the sleeve-less flannel on my back  She doesn’t care about manners or my plumber’s crack 
If I’m late for dinner ‘cause I work like a slave,  she just hands me a beer and asks me  “how was your day” ? 

I’m in love with them original red neck girls
They are the real deal man, you know they rule the world
They ain’t no plastic, phony Barbie dolls
You don’t need to drop them off at the local mall
They understand about a boy’s night out
They never piss or moan or stay at home and pout
Those red neck girls they really rule my cowboy world

Solo

I’m in love with them original, red neck girls
They are the real deal man, you know they rule the world
They ain’t no plastic, phony Barbie dolls
You don’t need to drop them off at the local mall
They understand about a boy’s night out
They never piss or moan or stay at home and pout
Those red neck girls, they really, rule my cowboy world

Dance With Me, Senorita
Words and Music by Johnny Searfoss

My work took me south of the border
A stone’s throw from beautiful shores
I get paid really well, but this lonely hotel
will be tough for a couple of weeks
At the end of my day is a beach club
I eat on the deck by the sand
She walked in through the door, past the band, across the floor
I introduced myself and held out my hand

So dance with me, please senorita
Dance with the stars and the moon shining bright
Our bodies will glide in time with the tide
So dance with me if only for tonight

My job keeps me busy all morning
The hot sun beats down on my brow
The work is progressin’, but I must be confessin’
I hope to see that girl again somehow
After dinner I was starin’ at the ocean
The moon shining down where I stand
When to my surprise, I looked into those eyes
She reached out and took me by the hand

So dance with me, please senorita
Dance with the stars and the moon shining bright
I’ll hold you so close as we dance by the coast
So dance with me for just one more night

My work here, tomorrow is finished
I’ll pack up my things and go home
The job here was fine but there’s something on my mind
And I need to, one more time, to look into  those eyes
After dinner we gaze out at the ocean
And sway to the sounds of the band
I give her a glance, this may be our last chance
The two of us walk on, hand in hand

So dance with me, please senorita
We’ll dance with the ebb and the flow
Holding you so tight never felt so good or right
So dance with me, please senorita
I want this dance to last for the rest of my life
