Lyrics
Country Was
Written by King, Kirk King and Duane Beckman
Music by King
Man, I was raised on George Strait and Dwight
and when I grew up I learned that a little Hank made my Jack just taste right
I love those old T.V. shows from the 50's and 60's that made me wanna ride a horse
be the fastest gun and get the girl at the end of the day
I love those old cliches, but that's not what country is selling today
they used to sing to me what country was
how to keep the girl and get the job done
how nothing in life is free
country sold me the American dream
how hard work can buy you anything
that's what country was
I wonder what country would be if the cowboy didn't ride away
Dallas was in Tennessee or my little Texas tornado turned out to be a breeze
If there was no twang, fiddle or cry of a pedal steel to reminisce about the struggles of life that are real
but keeping on at the end of the day, but that's not what the radio plays
they used to sing to me what country was
how to keep the girl and get the job done
how nothing in life is free
country sold me the American dream
how hard work can buy you anything
that's what country was
when did red cups replace mason jars
drink'n on tailgates, not in honky tonk bars
it's hard to two step to rock guitar
I still remember when
they used to sing to me what country was
how to keep the girl and get the job done
how nothing in life is free
country sold me the American dream
how hard work can buy you anything
that's what country was
that's what country was
BABY WHERE DID YOU GO
Baby Where Did You Go
Written by King, Duane Beckman and Kirk King
Music by King
And how are you, been a minute or two
and where'd you go, I'd be lying if I said
I didn't miss you or hope you'd come back to me someday
yeah since then a lot has changed
baby where did you go
baby where did you go
And I've been good, been the best I've ever been
because of you, got a big ranch wife and kids
you taught me all of the little things not to do
for that I thank you, I hope it works out for you too
baby where did you go
baby where did you go
and I really need to go
that's OK, I don't need to know
baby where did you go
baby where did you go
where did you go
baby where did you go
Drink Drink Drink

Music by King
It's 3am, I'm drunk and I just threw up
I gotta problem walking straight lines
I've made the same mistakes before
and I'll do it again for sure
cuz I had the time of my life
Friday night was drink drink drink
Saturday morning was recover
Saturday night was more of the same
think I'll have another
drink drink drink
and then when Sunday came
I had to drink drink drink my hangover away
and called in sick on Monday
tired of not getting anything done during a work week
need to make this weekend a vacation to party
invite everyone who'd be down to go
hit all the places that we've never been before
life's too short to sleep
Friday night was drink drink drink
Saturday morning was recover
Saturday night was more of the same
think I'll have another
drink drink drink
and then when Sunday came
I had to drink drink drink my hangover away
and called in sick on Monday
sitting round thinking bout last weekend
so long the ice is gone in my drink
gonna call the same friends
go out and raise hell again
Lord knows we could use the sleep
Friday night was drink drink drink
Saturday morning was recover
Saturday night was more of the same
think I'll have another
drink drink drink
and then when Sunday came
I had to drink drink drink my hangover away
and called in sick on Monday
someone got fired week
someone else is getting married
raise a toast to memories
Friday night was drink drink drink
Saturday morning was recover
Saturday night was more of the same
think I'll have another
drink drink drink
and then when Sunday came
I had to drink drink drink my hangover away
and called in sick on Monday
Where the Good Guys Are
Written by King, Duane Beckman and Vicky Macias
Music by King
She's doing her hair, her makeup's just right
she picked out the perfect outfit heads are gonna spin tonight
she's going out to dance, maybe feel a little romance
not out to make a mistake if there's a chance her heart could break
she's waiting for Mr. Right to come in her life
the kind of man that makes her feel like
she's the only one in his eyes
the kind of man that makes her feel secure in his arms
with passion in his hands, it's not too much to ask
she'll settle for Mr. Right now and when she turns the lights out
she wonders where all the good guys are
she picks a man out at the bar and thinks
she can lead him on for a drink
she hasn't learned to change the game that she plays
to make better things come her way
she's waiting for Mr. Right to come in her life
the kind of man that makes her feel like
she's the only one in his eyes
the kind of man that makes her feel secure in his arms
with passion in his hands, it's not too much to ask
she'll settle for Mr. Right now and when she turns the lights out
she wonders where all the good guys are
for all the things she wants she'd risk it all
but she can't bear to take another fall
she's looking to settle down
but don't know how
she's waiting for Mr. Right to come in her life
the kind of man that makes her feel like
she's the only one in his eyes
the kind of man that makes her feel secure in his arms
with passion in his hands, it's not too much to ask
she'll settle for Mr. Right now and when she turns the lights out
she wonders where all the good guys are
