Obsessed with Chris Young!

I'm beyond obsessed with this song. Seriously... I'm totally in love!

If you read the lyrics *carefully* you can easily see why I love it so much!

Chris Young "When She's On"

She turns every head coming down the sidewalk
In that red sundress that she just bought
Causing a traffic jam on a greenlight
A string of pearls showing off her suntan
And all those curls dancing ‘round her RayBans
If you think that’s something to see

You ought to see her when she’s on that front porch
In those cut-off jeans
And that Texas Longhorns t-shirt
Hair drying in the breeze
Humming along to some old Haggard song
You ought to see her when she’s on

Down at the office in those high heels
Looking like a million, closing big deals
She’ll remind the boys eyes are way up here
Yeah that’ll make you smile ear to ear

You ought to see her when she’s on that leather couch
Reading that fairy tale
To a sleepy eyed little girl
In pajamas and ponytails
Saying one day your prince charming will come along
You ought to see her when she’s on

Oh you ought to see her when she’s on that front porch
In those old cut-off jeans
And that Texas Longhorns t-shirt
Smiling back at me
When you see her dressed to kill
And it drops your jaw
You ought to see her when she’s on that leather couch
Reading that fairy tale that’s when she’s on
That’s when she’s on that front porch
In those old cut-off jeans
That’s when she’s on

Oh when she’s on
That’s when she’s on

Enjoy!!!

Ps. The entire album is AMAZING!!

A Little Bit Stronger by Sara Evans

{I like Leighton Meester's version from Country Strong much better}

I hope everyone gets a little bit stronger.. and remember that everything and I truly mean everything in life happens for a reason. Just when you feel like throwing your hands up in the air and giving up, God has something else planned for you when you least expect it. xo

ps. I'm also really liking this song as well . . .

Song of the day!

Honey Bee by Blake Shelton

Girl I've been thinkin' 'bout us

And you know I ain't good at this stuff

But these feelings piling up won't give me no rest

This might come out a little crazy

A little sideways, yeah maybe

I don't know how long it'll take me

But I'll do my best

If you'll be my soft and sweet

I'll be your strong and steady

You be my glass of wine

I'll be your shot of whiskey

You be my sunny day

I'll be your shade tree

You be my honeysuckle

I'll be your honey bee

Yeah that came out a little country

But every word was right on the money

And I got you smilin' honey right back at me

Now hold on 'cause I ain't done

There's more where that came from

Well you know I'm just havin' fun

But seriously

If you'll be my Louisiana

I'll be your Mississippi

You be my little Loretta

I'll be your Conway Twitty

You be my sugar baby

I'll be your sweet iced tea

You be my honeysuckle

I'll be your honey bee

Your kiss just said it all

I'm glad we had this talk

Nothin' left to do but fall in each other's arms

Baby all I know to do

Is speak right from the heart

Chorus 1

 Chorus 2

I'll be your honey bee <3

{I officially heart this song}

Song of the week!

You Lie by The Band Perry

It ain't complicated

Well, I've grown to hate it

I never liked the taste of crow but baby I ate it

They tried to warn me

They said that you were ornery

So don't bring me those big brown eyes and tell me that you're sorry

Well you might as well throw gasoline on a fire

The way you lie

You lie like a priceless Persian rug on a rich man's floor

You lie like a coon dog basking in the sunshine on my porch

You lie like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery store

It just comes way too natural to you 

The way you lie

That ain't my perfume

I bet she had a curfew

You told me you were out with the boys and baby I believed you

So why you lookin' so nervous

You know you're gonna deserve this

I oughta kill you right now and do the whole wide world a service

Well my daddy's gonna straighten you out like a piece of wire, like a piece of wire

The way you lie

You lie like the man with the slick black hair who sold me that Ford

You lie like a palm tree in the back yard after last month's storm

You lie like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery store

It just comes way too natural to you

The way you lie

Well, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do

I'm gonna drive into the big ol' muddy river

I'm gonna park my car in the middle of the mile-long bridge

And then I'm gonna cry well maybe just a little

Then I'm gonna slip off the ring that you put on my finger

Give it a big ol' fling and watch it sink

Down, down, down

There it's gonna lie

Until the Lord comes back around 

Because you lie like a priceless Persian rug on a rich man's floor

You lie like a coon dog basking in the sunshine on my porch

You lie like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery store

It just comes so dang natural to you

The way you lie

The way you lie

Well it's what you do, it's who you are

Song of the week!

Are you gonna kiss me or not? by Thompson Square

We were sittin' up there on your momma's roof

Talkin' bout everything under the moon

With the smell of honeysuckle and your perfume

All I could think about was my next move

Oh, but you were so shy and so was I

Maybe that's why it was so hard to believe

When you smiled and said to me...

Are you gonna kiss me or not

Are we gonna do this or what

I think you know I like you a lot

But you're 'bout to miss your shot

Are you gonna kiss me or not

It was the best dang kiss that I'd ever had

Except for that long one after that 

And I knew if I wanted this thing to last

Sooner or later I'd have to ask

 For your hand

So I took a chance

Bought a wedding band

And I got down on one knee

And you smiled and said to me

Are you gonna kiss me or not

Are we gonna do this or what

I think you know I love you a lot

I think we've got a real good shot

Are you gonna kiss me or not

So, we planned it all out for the middle of June

From the wedding cake to the honeymoon

And your momma cried when you walked down the aisle

When the preacher man said say I Do

I did, and you did, too

Then I lifted that veil and saw your pretty smile

And I said....

Are you gonna kiss me or not

Are we gonna do this or what

Look at all the love that we've got

And it ain't never gonna stop

Are you gonna kiss me or not

Yeah baby I love you a lot

I really think we've got a shot

Are you gonna kiss me or not

*This song will {definitely} be played at my wedding :)

Won't Let Go.

Rascal Flatts 'I Won't Let Go'

{aka} the saddest song..ever

To CDJ:

It’s like a storm

That cuts a path

It’s breaks your will

It feels like that

You think your lost

But your not lost on your own

Your not alone

I will stand by you

I will help you through

When you’ve done all you can do

If you can’t cope

I will dry your eyes

I will fight your fight

I will hold you tight

And I wont let go

It hurts my heart

To see you cry

I know it’s dark

This part of life

Oh it finds us all

And we’re too small

To stop the rain

Oh but when it rains

I will stand by you

I will help you through

When you’ve done all you can do

And you can’t cope

I will dry your eyes

I will fight your fight

I will hold you tight

And I wont let you fall

Don’t be afraid to fall

I’m right here to catch you

I wont let you down

It wont get you down

Your gonna make it

Yea I know you can make it

Cause I will stand by you

I will help you through

When you’ve done all you can do

And you can’t cope

And I will dry your eyes

I will fight your fight

I will hold you tight

And I wont let go

Oh I’m gonna hold you

And I wont let go

Wont let you go

No I wont

Texas Country Music!

In honor of Country Strong coming out in theaters Jan. 7, 2011, I've dedicated this post to country music!

I'm sure all my fellow southerners listen to country music and I do as well, but I especially LOVE Texas country music; it's an entirely different genre down here in Texas. Austin is the live music capital of the world, which is reason no. 1 why Austin is my favorite city in Texas. I started on my Texas country music journey listening to Pat Green about 10 years ago. From there I fell in love with Aaron Watson, Randy Rogers Band, Wade Bowen and Josh Abbott Band just to name a few. 

This kind of music is also called 'red dirt' music as well as Texas country because EVERY artist hails from the lone star state; mostly from the Texas hill country like Randy Rogers Band. 

I've compiled 2 lists made up of the essentials and my favorites; this took some time since there are so many amazing songs/artists to choose from! 

The essentials

Aaron Watson  "Shut up and Dance"

Wade Bowen "Who I am"

(This sums up the greatness of Texas Country music & Wade Bowen <3 )

Randy Rogers Band  "Can't Slow Down"

Pat Green "Baby doll"

Randy Rogers Band "Like it used to be"

Wade Bowen "Lay it all on you"

Aaron Watson "Off the record"

Randy Rogers Band "Lost and Found"

Wade Bowen "Trouble"

Reckless Kelly "Break my heart tonight"

Randy Rogers Band "Buy Myself a chance"

The Favorites

 Randy Rogers Band "In my arms instead"

Aaron Watson "Reckless"

Jason Boland & the Stragglers "Tulsa Time"

Honeybrowne "Texas Angel"

Pat Green "Let Me"

Aaron Watson "Hearts are breaking across Texas" 

Wade Bowen "Mood Ring"

 Josh Abbott Band "She's like Texas"

Pat Green "Wave on Wave"

Stoney LaRue "Oklahoma breakdown" 

Reckless Kelly "1952 Vincent Black Lightning"

Brandon Rhyder "Let the good times roll"

I hope y'all enjoy this post and feel free to let me know your favorite music! I love learning about new artists and would be glad to hear your feedback.
