Track Lyrics
Knocked Up Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't care what nobody says
We're gonna have a baby
Taking off in a Coupe de Ville
She's buckled up on navy
She don't care what her momma says
No, she's gonna have my baby
Taking all I have to take
This takings gonna shake me
[Refrain]
People call us renegades
'Cause we like living crazy
We like taking on the town
'Cause people's getting lazy
I don't care what nobody says
No, I'm gonna be her lover
Always mad and usually drunk
But I love her like no other
[Chorus 1]
And the doctor seems to say he don't know
Where we're gonna go
I'm a ghost and I don't think I quite know
Where we're gonna go
Where we're gonna go
[Refrain]
People call us renegades
'Cause we like living crazy
We like taking on this town
'Cause people's getting lazy
I don't care what nobody says
No, I'm gonna be her lover
Always mad and usually drunk
But I love her like no other
[Chorus 2]
And her daddy seem to say he don't know
Where we're going to go
I'm a ghost and I don't think I quite know
Where we're gonna go
Where we're gonna go
Where we're gonna go
Where we're gonna go
[Interlude]
People call us renegades
(woo ohh ohh ohh)
We like taking on this town
(woo ohh ohh ohh)
I don't care if you don't care
(woo ohh ohh ohh)
[Verse 3]
I don't care what nobody says
We're gonna have a baby
Takin off in a Coupe de Ville
She's buckled up on navy
She don't care what her momma says
No, she gonna have my baby
I'm takin' all I have to take
This takings gonna shape me
(woo ohh ohh ohh)
(woo ohh ohh ohh)

On Call Lyrics
[Intro]
She said call me now, baby, and I'd come a running
She said call me now, baby, and I'd come a running
If you'd call me now, baby, I'd come a running hand
[Refrain]
I'm on call to be there
One and all to be there
And when I fall to pieces
Lord, you know I'll be there waiting
[Instrumental Break]
(To be there) (To be there)
[Refrain]
I'm on call to be there
One and all to be there

One for all we'll be there
And when they fall to pieces
Lord, you know I'll be there laughing
[Bridge]
I'd come a-runnin'

I'd come a-runnin'
[Outro]
To be there

McFearless Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Strain living with a name they get the best of me
But I don't walk away
I don't complain I got much to gain so they keep testing me
And I keep feeding their face
They could go off and hit the road and what would I care
Hell I ain't going nowhere
I got the reigns and courage I was made of
And they've got fake love
[Chorus]
So I know I must show it's my show
I must go with my soul
Not my hand where I stand
It's my role, it's my soul
[Verse 2]
Pearls and necklaces and girls and all the pretty things
I ain't seeking to have
It's safe to say if I don't get this out of me I might quite easily
End up dead or just mad
Cross my t's and try to dot my i's
But that's just blinding me and I ain't living that way
I roll my sleeves to make a better man of me or I might easily
Just give up on this show
[Chorus]
It's my show
I must go with my soul
Not my hand where I stand
It's my role, it's my soul
I must show it's my show
I must go with my soul
Not my hand where I stand
It's my role, it's my soul
I must show it's my show
Black Thumbnail Lyrics
[Intro]
My cold cold sailor heart says get on your way
I ain't too proud to say but that's how I'm made
I'll be that person till my dying day
I try so awful hard but I can't change
[Verse 1]
From runways to the road I ramble alone
This thumbnail size of heart is as black as coal
Though beauty it still brings me to my knees
Don't waste a tear on me it's my disease
[Chorus 1]
Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I'll blow off in your sleep
Don't leave no smell on me
[Verse 2]
Those preppy boys in blue they make fun of us
So we take it to the street 'cause we are an ornery curse
But we're not here to make your children bleed
We're here to cover ground with a tumbleweed
[Chorus 2]
Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I'll blow off in your sleep
Don't leave no smell on me
Now guitar, go get her
[Verse 3]
Don't take these boots off me when you think that I'm dead
I'll still be running from the demon in my head
I'll be that person till my dying day
I try so awful hard but I can't change
[Chorus 3]
Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I'll blow off in your sleep
Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no, no smell
My Party Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's raining an old yellow
And it’s carving a path
So now we’re on our way
It’s taking us some journeys
While we wipe away frowns in the most crowded place
Say why you never call me man you never seem to call me now that I’m okay
I’ll beat you in the end and every time you turn around here comes the coming of age
[Chorus]
(Ooh) She's at my party
She's at my party
(Ooh) She's at my party
She's at my party
[Verse 2]
I cock and load my mergers when you question my mood
Because you ain't got no taste
You talking bout my baby I could flip you upside down
And I could mop this place
Say why you never sorry no you never seen my calling right in front your face
I smoke you in the end and don’t you ever turn around because it’s that coming of age
[Chorus]
(Ooh) She's at my party
She's at my party
(Ooh) She's at my party
She's at my party
(Ooh) She's at my party
She's at my party
(Ooh) She's at my party
She's at my party
[Bridge]
Ooh
Ooh
[Chorus]
(Ooh) She's at my party
(Ooh) She's at my party
[Chorus]
(Ooh) She's at my party
She's at my party
(Ooh) She's at my party
She's at my party
(Ooh) She's at my party
She's at my party
(Ooh) She's at my party
She's at my party
(Ooh) She's at my party
She's at my party
(Ooh) She's at my party
She's at my party
True Love Way Lyrics
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 1]
I want in, like a substitute
I've been working awful hard for you
But you don't say, you just hold your breath
So I can't touch what I haven't yet
She's a cold one and it hurts me so
It's a dark path and a heck of a cold
And she could kill me, just like she did before
[Chorus]
Oh we'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home
[Verse 2]
Push in and I pull it away
It's a hard part but the true love way
Girl you're wanted like a wanted man
With your smart mouth and your killer hand
We could both share all that I have made
For a young man it's a heck of a wage
And I feel crazy when I see your face
[Chorus]
Because we'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home
And we would laugh
Laugh till we cry
Making a song
Making me lie
[Bridge]
People say our babies are walking this town
People say our babies are walking this town
People say our babies are just wandering around
People say our babies are walking
[Chorus]
We'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home
And we would laugh
Laugh till we cry
Making a song
Making me lie
[Outro]
Happy alone
Ragoo Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And I want to say "here's to me, go and change the world"
And I want to play until they are kicking down the door
And I'll be alright as long as I ain't seen at all
And I'm holding tight to that night we had a ball
We had a ball
Here's to the kids out there smoking in the streets
They're way too young but I'm way too old to preach
They know it all but they still ain't seen the truth
Just play my song and I'll show it all to you
[Chorus]
Either way you caught me whilst a lying
You caught me whilst a lying
You caught me with my pants down
[Verse 2]
My pawpaw's slave had to go and fight the war
He beat them all, then he took them all to court
My pawpaw called and he said, "Do you remember me?"
Now he's working awful hard in his factory
[Chorus]
Either way you caught me whilst a lying
You caught me whilst a lying
You caught me with my pants down
[Outro]
We ain't even been to the ocean
We been running barefoot the stream
We've been running barefoot through the stream
We ain't even been to the ocean
We ain't even been to the ocean
We been running barefoot the stream
We've been running barefoot through the stream
We ain't even been to the ocean
Fans Lyrics
[Intro: Caleb Followill]
Homegrown
Rock to the rhythm and bop to the beat of the radio
Ain't got the slang but you got the face to play the role
And you can play with me
[Verse 1]
And all the bros
Try for the courage and try for Charity's tight clothes
She's got a hat and all the hat says is 'asshole'
She'll be bobbing to me
[Pre-Chorus]
Pretty hairdos and those lipstick kisses blown, yeah, that's the right move
Make me feel like I'm the one who moves you
The only one you see
[Verse 2]
Now, take it down
And don't you let those tears quench the thirsty ground
And don't you be so scared that you can't make a sound
Make a sound for me
[Chorus]
All of London sing
'Cause England swings and they sure love the tales I bring
Those raining days they ain't so bad when you're the king
The king they want to see
[Refrain]
Homegrown
Rock to the rhythm and bop to the beat of the radio
Ya' ain't got the slang but you've got the face to play the role
And you can play with me-uh
[Pre-Chorus]
Pretty hairdos and those lipstick kisses blown, yeah, that's the right move
Make me feel like I'm the one who's moving you
The only one you see
[Chorus]
All of London sing
'Cause England swings and they sure love the tales I bring
Those raining days they ain't so bad when you're the king
The king they want to see
The Runner Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Our time as we go
We know our times will change
I talk to Jesus
Jesus says I'm okay
Pushing and jumping
Jumping the mountain range
Burning up railroad
Railroad from Hell to Maine
[Chorus]
While she says she's on her own
I'll be pacing on the phone
Taking numbers, taking names
Awful sick and tired of the game
[Verse 2]
She comes from nothing
Hoping for a taste of fame
She's got a birthmark
A birthmark the shape of Maine
[Chorus]
While she says she's on her own
I'll be pacing on the phone
Taking numbers, taking names
Awful sick and tired of the game
[Verse 3]
And it's cold and it's cold and it's cold when you're near
Cold when you're near any bottle
Cold and it's cold and it's cold when you're near
Cold when you're near any bottle
[Outro]
Our time as we go
We know our times will change
I talk to Jesus, Jesus, every day
(Our time as we go)
Trunk Lyrics
[Chorus 1]
Well I got
What she wants
Ah her nose
A tied knot
I got one mile to go
On down the road
On down the road
[Chorus 1]
Well she got
What I want
And she knows
What I'm not
And I got one mile to go
On down the road
On down the road
[Chorus 2]
She sang
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
[Chorus 1]
She got
What I want
And she knows
What I'm not
And I got one mile to go
On down the road
On down the road
[Chorus 2]
She sang
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
[Outro]
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Camaro Lyrics
[Chorus 1]
She looks so cool in her new Camaro
It's black as coal and it goes boy, go go go
I brought my fight next to her Camaro
And when I fire on a smile then she blows, she blows
[Verse]
I'm making eyes through my sharp sunglasses
She's such a brat now I'm packing her cigarettes
I guess I'll take off these great sunglasses
It makes her look me in the eye before she's taken away
[Bridge]
So cool in her new Camaro
It's black as coal and it goes boy, go go go
She looks so cool in that new Camaro
So black as coal and it goes, no it go go go
[Chorus]
She looks so cool in her new Camaro
It's black as coal and it goes boy, go go go
I brought my fight next to her Camaro
And when I fire on a smile then she blows, she blows
[Outro]
She blows, she blows
Arizona Lyrics
[Verse 1]
That taste
All I ever needed
All I ever wanted
Too dumb to surrender
She shakes
Like the morning railway
Checking me out
Someone on her shoulder
[Verse 2]
The lamp
Flickers in the bedroom
She must feel as awkward
Whorehouse Arizona
Now go
Stand up to a giant
Say that I'm a fighter
Too drunk to remember
Too drunk to
Shake hands
[Verse 3]
My face
Staring on the pavement
Tasted something awful
I hate when that happens
She waves
Thinkin that it's sexy
She must be plum crazy
I kind of think I like her
I kind of think I do
