HERE FOR THE PARTY
GRETCHEN WILSON
CHARIOT
When it's all over but the shoutin'
When God the Father's done his final accounting
And I find out that I made the cut
Boys i'm gonna get me a chariot
Yeah a big gold eagle on the hood
Trans Am chariot
Gonna find my great granddaddy
That peace pipe smokin' Cherokee
Gonna get him all schooled
In them mags and struts
Then we gonna drag us a chariot
Yeah a big gold eagle painted on the hood chariot
[CHORUS]
Good lord Witchita
Sure hope Samson ain't no law dog
Redneck you better out run him
Damn sure don't wanna get caught
Crime what crime
We was all hopped up on new wine
And mama's gonna kill me if I get
Kicked out of the choir
But you just gotta run them chariots
[RAP]
Now here's a little story happened long ago
One day Ezekiel went out for a stroll
Walkin' by the river low and behold
Down came 4 angels in a Cadillac gold
He said "swing down sweet chariot come on and give me a ride"
So they scooped em up, the rig was souped up, man it had TV's inside
Ol' Zeke was surprised cause his eyes had seen beyond
His wildest dreams, He'd go on to see a thousand things
We'll paint that number eight on the driver's side
That's how old I was when I gave Jesus my life
I stepped right up and got washed in the blood
Just a little kid singin' 'bout a chariot
[REPEAT CHORUS TWICE]
When it's all over but the shoutin'...
HERE FOR THE PARTY
Well I'm an eight ball shooting double fisted drinking son of a gun
I wear My jeans a little tight
Just to watch the little boys come undone
Im here for the beer and the ball busting band
Gonna get a little crazy just because I can
[Chorus]
You know im here for the party
And i aint leavin til they throw me out
Gonna have a little fun gonna get me some
You know im here, im here for the party
I may not be a ten but the boys say i clean up good
And if i gave em half a chance for some rowsy romance you know they would
Ive been waiting all week just to have a good time
So bring on them cowboys and their pick up lines
[repeat chorus]
Dont want no purple hooter shooter just some jack on the rocks
Dont mind me if i start that trashy talk
[repeat chorus twice]
HOLDING YOU
I dont need whiskey to drown out the pain
Or some old umbrella to hold off the rain
Dont have to cross over a river of tears
All that i need is right here
Holding you holds me together
When holding on gets just a little to hard
When this tight rope i travel
Begins to unravel and i feel like
Im falling apart
Holding you holds me together
You know lifes a freight liner on
A runaway track
But ill take the ride knowing
That youll bring me back
No fates too uncertain no distance to far
As long as your here in my arms
Holding you holds me together
When holding on gets just a little to hard
When this tight rope i travel
Begins to unravel and i feel like
Im falling apart
Holding you holds me together
Whener i hold you tight
This crazy world of mine falls right in place
Whatever the trouble is
You find a way to give back what it takes
Holding you holds me together
When holding on gets just a little to hard
When this tight rope i travel
Begins to unravel and i feel like
Im falling apart
Holding you holds me together
HOMEWRECKER
Well you're a real hot cookie with your new hairdo
Your high heel boots and your credit car
Long legs and a mini skirt
Yeah you know what works and you work it hard
You smile like such a lady innocent and sweet
You drive the men folk crazy but any girl can see
you're just a
Homewrecker
I know what your doin'
You think you're gonna ruin what I got, but you're not
Yeah you little go getter
I'll teach you a lesson
If you go a messin with my man
You don't stand a chance
No you're just a homewrecker
I'm sure you waited for a long long time
To find a man like mine
But honey you're too late
Sobefore you go and make your move
Maybe me and you should get a few things straight
There's two ways we can do this
I'll let you decide
You can take it somewhere else
Or we can take this outside You little
Homewrecker
I know what you're doin
You think you're gonna ruin what I got, But you're not
Yea you little go getter
I'll teach you a lesson
If you go a messin with my man
You dont stand a chance
No you're just a homewrecker
Now honey im a Christian, but if you keep it up
Im gonna go to kickin your pretty little butt
Is that clear enough yeah you little
Homewrecker
I know what you're doin
You think you're gonna ruin what i got, but you're not
Yea you little go getter
I'll teach you a lesson
If you get to messin with my man
you dont stand a chance
no, you're just a homewrecker
POCAHONTAS PROUD
I was raised in Pocahontas Illinois
Everybody thought of me as one of the boys
Cause I'd run with a croud that was tough
At fifteen i was tending Big O's Bar
I'd sing till two AM for a half full tip jar
Spent my youth singing truth, paying dues
[Chorus]
I'm the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown
And ill be damned if i'm gonna let em down
If it's the last thing i do before they lay me in the ground
You know i'm gonna make Pocahontas proud
I knocked on every door on music row
But they looked down at me and said "Girl go back home"
You ain't got what we need in this town
But they couldn't whup the fighting side of me
You know where i come from we don't give up easily
Overnight took all my life to be found
I'm the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown
And ill be damned if i'm gonna let em down
If it's the last thing i do before they lay me in the ground
You know i'm gonna make Pocahontas proud "Pocahontas proud"
At twenty seven i had baby Grace
I was born again when i saw her sweet face
And i knew she was the greatest thing I'd ever do
I'm the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown
And ill be damned if i'm gonna let em down
If it's the last thing i do before they lay me in the ground
You know i'm gonna make Pocahontas proud
REDNECK WOMAN
Well, I ain't never been
the Barbie doll type
No, I can't swig the sweet Champagne, I'd rather drink beer all night
In a tavern or in a honky tonk or on a four-wheel drive tailgate
I've got posters on my wall of Skynyrd, Kid and Strait
Some people look down on me, but i don't give a rip
I'll stand barefooted in my own front yard with a baby on my hip
'Cause
I'm a redneck woman
I ain't no high class broad
I'm just a product of my raising
I say,'hey ya'll' and 'yee-haw'
And I keep my Christmas lights on
On my front proch all year long
And I know all the words to every Charlie Daniels song
So here's to all my sisters out there keeping it country
Let me get a big 'hell yeah' from the redneck girls like me, hell yeah
Victoria's Secret, well their stuff's real nice
But I can buy the same damn thing on a Wal-Mart shelf half price
And still look sexy, just as sexy as those models on TV
I don't need no designer tag to make my man want me
Well, you might think I'm trashy, a little too hardcore
But in my neck of the woods I'm just the girl next door
I'm a redneck
woman
I ain't no high class broad
I'm just a product of my raising
I say'hey y'all' and'yee-haw'
And I keep my Christmas lights on
On my front porch all year long
And I know all the words to every Tanya Tucker song
So here's to all my sisters out there keeping it country
Let me get a big 'hell-yeah' from the redneck girls like me, hell
yeah
I'm a redneck woman
I ain't no high class broad
I'm just a product of my raising
I say 'hey y'all and 'yee-haw'
And I keep my Christmas lights on
On my front porch all year long
And I know all the words to every ol' Bocephus song
So here's to all my sisters out there keeping it country
Let me get a big 'hell yeah' from all the redneck girls like me,
hell yeah
Hell yeah, hell yeah
Hell yeah
I said hell yeah!
THE BED
On his side of the bed, he's sleeping like a baby
Dreams are dancin' in his head lying with his lady
It's a peaceful night, and everything's just fin on his side of the bed
But on her side of the bed, those big brown eyes are cryin' from the thins
he never says
And deep inside she's dying
As she turns to face the wall, there's no love at all
On her side of the bed
[chorus]
If he'd just reach out she'd forget about all the times that he let her
down
Oh but in his mind everything's all right when the lights go out
On his side of the bed he never even noticed her negligee of red
The very same one that she wore the night that they were wed
But he never turned his dead to her side of the bed
[chorus]
Now on his side of te bed he wakes up and turns to say, "I love you"
But instead all he finds are pages full of words she'd never said
And that's all she left
On her side of the bed
WHAT HAPPENED
In a sandalwood frame
We bout in New Mexico
I was wearin' the chain that old Indian made
That we practically stole
Little shells in a jar
We found Hanalei Bay
Got those matching tattoos
And those ten dollar shoes
To remember our stay
[chorus]
If it hadn't been so good I wouldn't feel so sad
If we hadn't been so happy baby,
It wouldn't hurt this bad
If you had told me this last summer
I'd be on the floor laughin'
Instead of standing round breakin' down
Wonderin' what happened
What am I suppose to do
Without my very best friend
Boy you left me in shock and tied up in knots
Then it hits me again
[repeat chorus]
If you had told me this last summer
I'd be on the floor laughin'
Instead of standing around breakin' down
Wonderin' what happened
WHEN I THINK ABOUT CHEATIN
I've never done anything
That would bring a tear to your eye
I've never crossed the line
or needed an alibi to cover up a lie
But darling i'll admit
They're been times when i could have
The thing that kept me strong
Is the one thing that is always on My mind
[CHORUS]
When I think about cheatin'
I just think about you leavin'
And how my world would fall to pieces
If I tossed your love away
Even when i'm tempted by some stranger
Oh there's never any danger
I just think about you leavin'
When I think about cheatin'
There was a time in Abilene
When he said all the things I wanted to hear
It was hard to turn him down
Between the champaigne and the sound of whispers in my ear
But it just took one two-step with someone and I was missing you
He never had the chance cause I broke up the dance
Before the song was through
[REPEAT CHORUS]
WHEN IT RAINS
[Chorus]
When it rains I pour a couple more rounds
Till the hurtin' and the heartache start to drown
I turn out the light I turn up Dwight and I lock my door when it rains
When life ain't going my and I can't take one more day of gray
Hey it's okay
I don't need a dose of Dr. Phil
I don't need your make it all better pill when I'm low
Don't you know don't you know
[Repeat Chorus]
I don't have to have a girls night out
Or runaround with a rowdy crowd to get down Whiskey bent and hell bound
When I feel like I ain't got a friend I just call on my old buddy Jim
Again and again I like him
[repeat chorus]
Oh don't you know
When it rains
When it rains
I pour
