Garth Brooks - Alabama Clay - lyrics

First time he saw the ground get busted
He was ten and it was 1952
His daddy worked hard from sunup to sundown
And the goin got tough behind them ol grey mules
The farm grew to be a moneymaker
And the house he lived in grew up room by room
The boy worked hard but soon got tired of farmin
So he slipped away one night neath the harvest moon
His neck was red as alabama clay
But the citys call pulled him away
Hes got a factory job and runs a big machine
He dont miss the farm or the fields of green
Now the citys just a prison without fences
His job is just a routine he cant stand
And at night he dreams of wide-open spaces
Fresh dirt between his toes and on his hands
Then one day a picture came inside a letter
Of a young girl with a baby in her arms
And the words she wrote would change his life forever
So he went to raise his family on the farm
His neck is red as alabama clay
Now hes goin home this time to stay
Where the roots run deep on the family tree
And the tractor rolls through the fields of green
His neck is red as alabama clay
Now hes goin home this time to stay
Where the roots run deep on the family tree
And the tractor rolls through the fields of green
His neck is red as alabama clay

Garth Brooks - (There's No Place Like) Home For The Holidays - lyrics

Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away your roam
If you long for the sunshine and a friendly gaze
For the holidays you can't beat home sweet home
I met a man who lived in Tennessee
And he was looking for
Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie
Now in Pennsylvania folks are traveling
Down to Dixie's sunny shore
The Atlantic to Pacific
Oh, the season is terrific
Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays
For the holidays you can't beat home sweet home

Garth Brooks - Ain't Going Down - lyrics

(til the sun comes up)
Six oclock on friday evening
Momma doesn t know shes leaving
til she hears the screen door slamming
Rubber squealin, gears a-jamming
Local country station just a blaring on the radio
Pick him up at seven and theyre headin to the rodeo
Mommas on the front porch screamin out her warning
Girl you better get your red head
Back in bed before the morning.
Nine oclock the show is ending
But the fun is just beginning
She knows hes anticipating
But shes gonna keep him waiting
Grab a bite to eat
And then theyre heading to the honkey tonk
But loud crowds and line dancing
Just aint what they really want
Drive out to the boondocks and park down by the creek
And where its george strait til real late
And dancing cheek to cheek.
(chorus)
Aint going down til the sun comes up
Aint givin in til they get enough
Going round the world in a pickup truck
Aint goin down til the sun comes up
Ten til twelve is wine and dancing
Midnight starts the hard romancing
One oclock that truck is rocking
Two is coming, still no stopping
Break to check the clock at three
Theyre right on where they want to be
Four oclock get up and going
Five oclock that roosters crowing
*chorus*
Six oclock on saturday
Her folks dont know hes on his way
The stalls are clean, the horses fed
They say shes grounded til shes dead
Well here he comes around the bend
Slowing down, shes jumping in
Hey mom, youre daughters gone
And there they go again
*chorus*

Garth Brooks - Against The Grain - lyrics

Folks call me a maverick
Guess I aint too diplomatic
I just never been the kind to go along
Just avoidin confrontation
For the sake of conformation
And Ill admit I tend to sing a different song
But sometimes you just cant be afraid
To wear a different hat
If columbus had complied
This old world might still be flat
Nothin ventured, nothin gained
Sometimes youve got to go against the grain
Well, I have been accused
Of makin my own rules
There must be rebel blood
Just a-runnin through my veins
But I aint no hypocrite
What you see is what you get
And thats the only way I know
To play the game
Old noah took much ridicule
For building his great ark
But after forty days and forty nights
He was lookin pretty smart
Sometimes its best to brave the wind and rain
By havin strength to go against the grain
Well, theres more folks than a few
Who share my point of view
But theyre worried
If theyre gonna sink or swim
Theyd like to buck the system
But the deck is tacked against em
And theyre a little scared
To go out on a limb
But if youre gonna make a difference,
If youre gonna leave your mark.
You cant follow like a bunch of sheep
You got to listen to your heart
Go bustin in like old john wayne
Sometimes you got to go against the grain
Nothin ventured, nothin gained
Sometimes youve got to go against the grain

Garth Brooks - Beer Run - lyrics

twenty-five minutes past quitting time
Seven of us crammed into that truck of mine
Paying no attention to them highway signs
Doing ninety miles an hour toward the county line
Quick sack, twelve pack, back again
It's a b-double e-double are you in?
My buddies and their babies letting down their hair
As long as we're together is don't matter where
Ain't got a lot of money but we just don't care
Knowing half the fun is in the getting there
Aztec, long necks, paychecks spent
Oh, it's a b-double e-double are you in?
I can't stop thinking
What the hell they were drinking
Whan they made this county dry
I got a week-long thirst
And to make it worse
Lord, it's my turn to drive
Laughing and bragging and a' carrying on
We loaded up the wagons and we headed home
I guess half a dozen cases doesn't last that long
Come tomorrow morning it'll be all gone
Them, it's turn around, leave town, sounds again
Like a b-double e-double are you in?

Garth Brooks - 'Zat You, Santa Claus? - lyrics

Gifts I'm preparin'
For some Christmas sharin'
But I pause because
Hangin' my stockin'
I can hear a knockin'
'Zat you, Santa Claus
Sure is dark out
Not the slighest spark out
Pardon my clackin' jaws
Uh, who there
Who is it
Uh, stoppin' for a visit
'Zat you, Santa Claus
Are you bringin' a present for me
Something pleasantly pleasant for me
That's what I've been waitin' for
Would you mind slippin' it under the door
Four winds are howlin'
Or maybe that be growlin'
My legs feel like straws
Oh my, my, me, my
Kindly would you reply
'Zat you, Santa Claus
Yeah
Oh hangin' my stockin'
I can hear a knockin'
'Zat you, Santa Claus
Yeah, say now
Hey there, who is it
Stoppin' for a visit
'Zat you, Santa Claus
Whoa there Santa you gave me a scare
Now stop teasin' 'cause I know you're there
We don't believe in no goblins today
But I can't explain why I'm shakin' this way
Well I see old Santa in the keyhole
I'll give to the cause
One peek and I'll try there
Uh-oh there's an eye there
'Zat you, Santa Claus
Please, please
I pity my knees
Say that's you Santa Claus
That's him alright

Garth Brooks - A Friend To Me - lyrics

Well you and i
Were buddies
And weve been since we first met
Me any you
Well weve sure been through
Our share of laughter and regret
Lord knows weve had our bad days
And more than once weve disagreed
But youve always been a friend to me
You can be so stubborn
Theres times I think you just like to fight
And I hope and pray
I live to see a day
When you say I might be right
And theres times Id rather kill you
Than listen to your honesty
But youve always been a friend to me
Youve always been
Time and again
The one to take my hand
And show to me its okay to be
Just the way I am
With no apology
Oh youve always been
And you will till God knows when
Yes youve always been a friend to me

Garth Brooks - Anonymous - lyrics

Well I wrote our names a thousand times
Just to see yours sitting nest to mine
Sent you flowers cards unsigned....anonymous
In days to come like days that passed
My heart beats for you, always has
Though you know me only as....anonymous
In dreams at night I carry your books for you
And when I rise a flame for you
Always too shy to carry the whole thing through
Like the light from that eternal flame
Burns for one without a name
My love forever will remain....anonymous
Oh youll always wonder who it was
Who it was
It was just....anonymous
Well I wrote your names a thousand times
Just to see yours sitting next to mine
And I sent you flowers card unsigned

Garth Brooks - Baby Jesus Is Born - lyrics

Tell the children of abraham
Theres a star over bethlehem
And the light in the manger
Come a christmas morn
When baby jesus is born
Angel came to mary
Said, Im tellin? you
The light of this world
Is shinin? inside of you
His sweet forgiveness
Gonna set men free
The lame will walk
And the blind will see
Tell the children of abraham
Theres a star over bethlehem
And the light in the manger
Come a christmas morn
When baby jesus is born
Wise men following a holy light
Shepherds heard singing
In the midnight sky
And they all came a runnin?
Through the stable door
The meek and the mighty
The rich and the poor
Tell the children of abraham
Theres a star over bethlehem
And the light in the manger
Come a christmas morn
When baby jesus is born
Baby jesus is born

Garth Brooks - Allison Miranda - lyrics

On A Two Lane North Of Casper
Is Where This All Begins
Heading Back To Oklahoma
For A Week To Visit Friends
She Was Walking 'long The Highway
So I Pulled Off To The Side
And Asked Her If She Needed A Ride
We Tor Up That Ole Blacktop
'til We Found I-25
And Just Into Colorado
She Asked If She Could Drive
I'd Never Met Nobody Like Her
I'd Never Laughed So Much
And I Grew Hungry For Her Touch
I Used To Think Of Autumn
As Sweaters And Leaves
And I Used To Think The Night
Was Just For Dreamers And Thieves
But That Was Before She Came
Allison Miranda Was Her Name
By The Time That We Hit Kansas
We Both Felt Pretty Beat
So We Found Ourselves A Motel
And Grabbed A Bite To Eat
We'd Rest A Few Short Hours
Soon We'd Be Out Of There
Three Days Later We Came Up For Air
I Used To Think Of Autumn
As Sweaters And Leaves
And I Used To Think The Night
Was Just For Dreamers And Thieves
But That Was Before She Came
Allison Miranda Was Her Name
Now I Can't Forget
The Morning When I Woke Alone In Bed
To A Rose Left On Her Pillow
And A Goodbye Note That Read
You Cannot Grow A Flower
If You Don Not Have The Seed
Now I've Got Everything I Need
I Used To Think Of Autumn
As Sweaters And Leaves
And I Used To Think The Night
Was Just For Dreamers And Thieves
But That Was Before She Came
Allison Miranda Was Her Name
