Well it’s a Kung Pao Buckaroo holiday
Whatever you do watch what you say
If you’re easily offended well that’s ok
It’s a completely non-offensive
And politically correct holiday

There’s a story about the fair and a picture of you
In black and white, blue ribbon, best in show
Already know what happens now
The editor of Vogue rolls through town
Sees that picture, tracks you down
And the next thing you know
They’re gonna put you on the cover, girl
And you outshine them other girls
And everybody will discover, girl
What I already know
There ain’t another girl
Anywhere in the whole world
As pretty as you
The only trouble, girl
Is that you’d have to go
And blow your cover, girl
Before long, the secret’s out
And there’s paparazzi outside your house
And peace and quiet and going out
That’s a thing of the past
Red carpet, you’re lookin’ hot
And I think I am too but I guess I’m not
‘Cause it’s “Hey hillbilly, get outta the shot”
As the cameras flash
As they put you on the cover, girl
And you outshine them other girls
And everybody will discover, girl
What I already know
Nah, there ain’t another girl
Anywhere in the whole world
As pretty as you
The only trouble girl
Is that you’d have to go
And blow your cover, girl
They’re gonna put you on the cover, girl
And them other girls
Will discover, girl
What I already, I already know
There ain’t another girl
Anywhere in the whole world
As pretty as you
The only trouble, girl
Is that you’d have to go
And blow your cover, girl
Love starts with a toothbrush,
A Bic razor and a Dixie cup
A little splash of aftershave,
Before you leave for that first date
See stars in both your eyes
After that long kiss goodnight
Forever starts with a suitcase,
A Sneaking out the window getaway
To the car parked by the curb,
Gassed up for a Gatlinburg
A little chapel and a couple of rings
Will get you two toothbrushes by the bathroom sink
Everything that’s anything
Starts out as a little thing
Just needs a little time and room to grow
Step by step, day by day
It all adds up along the way
And the next thing that you know
Life starts with a little house,
A corner lot on the edge of town
A weed eater and a picket fence
You think it’s good as the getting gets
Then she wakes up feeling bad
You both wonder what’s up with that
Everything that’s anything
Starts out as a little thing
Just needs a little time and room to grow
Step by step, day by day
It all adds up along the way
And the next thing that you know
One night around eight o’clock
You scrub him down then you dry him off
You pick him up and put his little feet
On the stool by the bathroom sink
You grab the crest and the Dixie cup
It all hits you as he opens up…
Love starts with a toothbrush
Using a fake ID at a college bar
Getting caught with a girl in the backseat of a car
Running out on the field for the senior game wearing number 17
There’s a last time for everything
Like a George Strait cassette in a Pontiac
I tell ’em Super Cuts, let’s leave it long in the back
Wearing the tux at a high school gym
And she’s wearing your class ring
There’s a last time for everything
Last call, last chance
Last song, last dance
Sometimes you just don’t know when that’s gonna be
Hold me baby, give me a kiss
Like tonight is all there is
Cause there’s a last time for everything
Throwing the ball with the first dog you ever had
Spending all day on the lake with your grandad
Watching Glenn Frey sing “Already Gone” at the Forum in LA
There’s a last time for everything
Last call, last chance
Last song, last dance
Sometimes you just don’t know when that’s gonna be
Hold me baby, give me a kiss
Like tonight is all there is
Cause there’s a last time for everything
Kissing goodbye on her porch and driving away
Introducing her as your fiancee
Getting woke up at 5 am to see if Santa came
There’s a last time for everything
Biscuits and gravy at momma’s house
(Last time for everything)
Spring break on a fold out couch
(Last time for everything)
Little Jimmy on the Opry stage
(Last time for everything)
Hearing Prince sing “Purple Rain”
(Last time for everything)
(Last time for everything)
Every day I clock out
And head straight to her house
We cuddle up on the couch
But it always ends the same ole way
I’m drivin’ home and it’s incredibly late
Something’s got to change, ’cause
I’ve been wrapped around her finger
Since the first time we went out
Every day and every night she’s all I think about
I need that girl beside me
When the lights go out
I think it’s time to put a ring on the finger
I’m wrapped around
Went to the bank took out a loan
Went and bought the perfect stone
Called up her dad on the phone
I’m takin’ him to dinner Sunday night
I’ve never been so nervous in my life
I want to do this right, ’cause
I’ve been wrapped around her finger
Since the first time we went out
Every day and every night she’s all I think about
I need that girl beside me
When the lights go out
I think it’s time to put a ring on the finger
I’m wrapped around
Yes sir I love her very much
I know it’s only been seven months
But that’s long enough
I’ve been wrapped around her finger
Since the first time we went out
Every day and every night she’s all I think about
I need that girl beside me
When the lights go out
I think it’s time to put a ring on the finger
I’m wrapped around
I think it’s time to put a ring on the finger
I’m wrapped around
Sittin’ on the interstate
The end of another day
Feeling tired, feeling beat up, feeling small
Sick of running this rat race
Coming last place
Feeling like I don’t matter at all
The I walk through the door
She says “I missed you, where ya been?”
And just like that
My life has meaning again
Sometimes work takes her away
She’s gone a couple days
I’ve overdosed on ESPN
Between reruns of sports center
One too many drive through wins
I love counting down the minutes
Till her plane comes in
And then she walks through the door
She sets her suitcase down
And then just like that
My life has meaning again
If there’s one thing
I’ve learned in this life
It’s that breathing don’t make you alive
You need a reason
Some grander scheme why you’re here
I’ve found mine
Sometimes I think
What’s the point?
This messed up world were living in
And then she smiles
It all makes sense
Yeah, just like that
My life has meaning again
You were a pain girl, a thorn in my side
Drove me insane girl, a white-knuckle ride
So why do I go lookin’ through old photographs
And chase you down the hallways of our checkered past
Hold on for dear life and keep the fire fed
I oughta let go but instead
It’s like I’m pressing on a bruise
To see if it still hurts
Right now that’s all I’ve got left of you
Everybody knows that just makes it worse
But still I do
I could start a new life, I could move on
I could do a drive by, and see if you’re home
Now there’s a fine, fine line between a memory
And something any shrink would call an injury
But it’s not over long as you’re still hurtin’ me
And as I turn onto your street
It’s like I’m pressing on a bruise
To see if it still hurts
Right now that’s all I’ve got left of you
Anybody knows that just makes it worse
But still I do
Still I do, still I do, still love you
But she’s the kind of girl puts your world on hold
Walk the halls and you check your phone
Gave up the ghost and the ghost keeps holdin’ on
And you run from the sun but you curse the rain
Lost the love so you nurse the pain
Goin’ on and on, singin’ that same song
But she’s gone
(I can’t let it alone)
And you get drunk on those glory days
(I can’t just let it heal)
With a broken heart and a bitter taste
(No, I can’t just let it go)
Well, you light it up as she burns you down
(I can’t just let it heal)
You’re smokin’ those memories to the ground
(Like I’m pressing on a bruise)
Yeah, that’s the thing about love and pain
They may look alike but they’re not the same
(No, I can’t just let it go)
You’ve got to let it go go go
(No, I can’t just let it heal)
Headlights on the ceiling as she pulls into the drive
She never says she’s coming and she never says goodbye
She’s gonna bring the sunshine and she’s gonna bring the rain
It’s like I’m standin’ at the station and I’m waitin’ on a runaway train
When I was a young’un, my mama used to pray
That I’d find me a Christian girl and settle down someday
But the devil’s at the front door and she’s calling out my name
It’s like I’m standin’ at the station and I’m waitin’ on a runaway train
Runaway train comin’ down the track
Runaway train and don’t come back
I know what she’s doing and right now I don’t care
She could be Delilah here to cut off all my hair
Woman’s got a hold on me that I just can’t explain
It’s like I’m standin’ at the station and I’m waitin’ on a runaway train
Runaway train comin’ down the track
Runaway train and don’t come back
In the morning when I wake and find that woman gone
I will swear this time that I am finally movin’ on
Deep down in my heart, I’ll know nothings gonna change
And I’ll be standin’ at the station and waitin’ on a runaway train
Runaway train comin’ down the track
Runaway train and don’t come back
I never knew how people wound up in a bar
In the middle of the day
Broken souls or broken lives
From the choices that they made
I didn’t know how much I had to lose
When I threw it all away
But I do now, I do now
Oh, I’d give anything
If I could just go back in time somehow
I wouldn’t break your heart,
I wouldn’t break those vows
If I could lift that veil and look you in the eye
And say I do now
Standing before God and all our friends
In that little church
Barely listening to a thing that preacher said
Just repeating every word
I didn’t have a clue what it all meant
But girl, for what it’s worth
I do now, I do now
Oh, I’d give anything
If I could just go back in time somehow
I wouldn’t break your heart,
I wouldn’t break those vows
If I could lift that veil and look you in the eye
And say I do now
I wouldn’t break your heart,
I wouldn’t break those vows
If I could lift that veil and look you in the eye
And say I do now
Woahhhhh woahhhhhhh
Shes got Brazilian leather boots on the pedal of her German car
Listen to the Beatles singing back in the USSR
Yeah shes goin around the world tonight
But she ain’t leavin here
Shes just going to meet her boyfriend down at the street fair
It’s a french kiss, italian ice
Spanish moss in the moonlight
Just another American Saturday night
There’s a big toga party tonight down at Delta Chi
They’ve got Canadian bacon on their pizza pie
They’ve got a cooler full of cold Coronas and Amstel light
It’s like were all livin’ in a big ol’ cup
Just fire up the blender, mix it all up
It’s a French kiss, Italian ice
Margaritas in the moonlight (woahhhh)
Just another American Saturday night
You know everywhere has something they’re known for
Although usually it washes up on our shores
My great great great granddaddy stepped off of that ship
I bet he never ever dreamed we’d have all this
You know everywhere has somethin’ they’re known for
Although usually it washes up on our shores
Little Italy, Chinatown, sittin’ there side by side
Live from New York, It’s Saturday Night!
It’s a French kiss, Italian ice,
Spanish moss in the moonlight
Just another American, just another American,
Its just another American Saturday night
