Think Me
When you think country I want you to think me
You're an LA County, smooth talkin' boy
with a sweet leather jacket and Ray Bans to
block the sun.
You don't know the word poor, you've never
seen a farm, and you say you'll never go huntin'
But you know that's who I am
and who I'll always be, baby I'm country.
I've got a thick twang accent, a Kansas plate to match,
and I drive through LA blarin' my Paisley
When you hear the noise you'll always know I'm there,
so when you think country I want you to think me.
You've got some pretty blue eyes and sun-kissed skin,
You're the best dressed boy I've ever seen
But you don't open doors, you care more 'bout 'ur car,
and worst of all you don't like country.
I need a home grown farm boy that's not scared
to use a gun but still knows chivalry.
You ask me to choose, "What's it gonna be?"
But honey when it comes to me, it's always gonna be country.
So next time 'ur drivin' in 'ur Porsche, you hear that music play,
see the Kansas plate and you know it's me,
think about the time you could have gone country!

Manhattan Life
I'm feeling good tonight
I'm feeling right
First time in this town
of Manhattan
they call it the little Apple
and tonight I'll know why
It's a collage town to me
but for others just a party
I'm goin' out tonight to see
this small town life
I'm gonna hop from bar to bar
down the line on Morro
What a sight to see,
girls in boots and dresses
and guys in hats with jeans hangin' low
I'm feeling good tonight
I'm feeling right
I feel all wrong in my city clothes
but not to worry no one will know
'Cuz when the lights go down
and the DJ blasts his sound
We'll forget about the world around
Just livin' this simple life
I'm feeling good tonight
I'm feeling right
I like to think I've been around
But I've never known drunk until this town
They know their beer and how to hold it well
On the corner of 14th and Aggieville
It's last call from behind the bar
but we're all still chuggin' and goin' strong
And then they end the night
with a simple country song
The crowd breaks out in drunkin' slurs
and sings the words to Carrie Underwood
We're feelin' good tonight
we're feelin' right
Let's raise our cups to this small town,
Manhattan life!
Manhattan life!
