Way beyond the city lights
Lies a cowboys paradise
Honeysuckle on the vine
Growing up on southern time
/ - x2
Love to dance and we love to flirt
Ain't afraid of a little dirt
We ain't late for Sunday church
Mama raised us not to curse
/ - x2
Our shorts a little shorter cause the sun's a little hotter
Sipping lemonade, while we're playin' in the water
Ooh ooh oh oh, ooh ooh oh oh
Ain't nothing sweeter than us Georgia Peaches
Ooh ooh oh oh, ooh ooh oh oh
There's a reason why the boys pick the Georgia Peaches
/ - x2
We grow where the grass is green
We got home grown in our jeans
We love country everything
From Alan Jackson to Aldean

Our drawl will drive you crazy when we wink and call you baby
You don't stand a chance once you've seen a southern lady
Ooh ooh oh oh, ooh ooh oh oh
Ain't nothing sweeter than us Georgia Peaches
Ooh ooh oh oh, ooh ooh oh oh
There's a reason why the boys pick the Georgia Peaches

It don't matter where you're from come on in and have some fun
We're gonna treat you like you're one of us
Ooh ooh oh oh, ooh ooh oh oh
Ain't nothing sweeter than us Georgia Peaches
Ooh ooh oh oh, ooh ooh oh oh
There's a reason why the boys pick
Keep repeating the chorus til the end of the song.

2. Growing Her Wings
Chords:
G: 320033 or 320003
x4
Brother's in the backyard diggin' in the dirt
Mama's in the kitchen in an old t-shirt
Daddy's diesel's coming up the street
And she's in her bedroom growing her wings
Ready to Run in her headphones
Pretty in pink on all ten toes
Nose in a Cosmo magazine
All the junk mama says, she's too young to read
Little do they know she's growing her wings
They got her whole life on lockdown
Doing time behind her bedroom door
I guess it's alright for right now
But outside her window there's so much
More room for running and space to discover
A whole wide world to see
She's dreaming about the girl she's gonna be
Stuck in Rice County, growing her wings
The neighbor boy taught her how to French kiss
And daddy's got eyes in the back of his head
He said, no dating 'til you're eighteen
Now she's in her room grounded, growing her wings
They got her whole life on lockdown
Doing time behind her bedroom door
I guess it's alright for right now
But outside her window there's so much
More room for running and space to discover
A whole wide world to see
She's dreaming about the girl she's gonna be
Stuck in Rice County, growing her wings
She wants to flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy and never look down
But toniiiiiiiiiiiiight she's tucked inside a tiny little town
In a little twin bed all safe and sound
And there's so much
More room for running and space to discover
A whole wide world to see
She's dreaming about the girl she's gonna be
Stuck in Rice County, growing her wings
Growing her wings

3. Tupelo
Chords:
G: 320033 or 320003
x2
Picked a wild flower off the side of the road
You put it in my hair
Two bare feet up on the dashboard
Hands waving through the summer air
Looking at you, looking at me
With the wind strapped to our backs
Flying as high as the bird in the sky
Don't get much better than that
And we sang all the way down to Tupelo
Love struck right on the money
Heart beats beating to the radio
Kisses as sweet as the honey
Down to Tupelo
All the way down to Tupelo
Counting the white lines mile by mile
Worries slipping away
Took a back road for a little slow down
Off of the interstate
We followed the river as far as it goes
Smiling in the July sun
Hearing you say you're falling in love
I said you ain't the only one
And we sang all the way down to Tupelo
Love struck right on the money
Heart beats beating to the radio
Kisses as sweet as the honey
Down to Tupelo
All the way down
La la la la la la
Wind strapped to our backs
La la la la la la
Don't get much better than that
And we sang all the way down to Tupelo
Love struck right on the money
Heart beats beating to the radio
Kisses as sweet as the honey
Down to Tupelo
All the way down to Tupelo
Lalalalalalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalalalalalala
All the way down to tupelo
All the way down to tupelo
All the way down to tupelo

4. The Middle
Chords:
G: 320033 or 320003
x2
I get this feeling every year, the first days of winter
Pull out that box of souvenirs to read your old letters
In the stack of memories, found a note you left for me
It almost feels like you're still here
I hear your voice in every word
You told me to remember
Take each day and make it last
'Cause you turn around and the future is the past
Here and now is all we have
The beginning and the end mean so little
What matters most is what's in the middle
Makes me smile when I look back to every summer
You forget your birthday and just laugh; you say "It's just a number"
But Sunday afternoons, they meant so much to you
The simple things were golden
You found beauty in every moment
Take each day and make it last
'Cause you turn around and the future is the past
Here and now is all we have
The beginning and the end mean so little
What matters most is what's in the middle
The day you're born is just a start
Your last breath is a question mark
The story of your life is in the in between
Take each day and make it last
'Cause you turn around and the future is the past
Here and now is all we have
Take each day and make it last
'Cause you turn around and the future is the past
Here and now is all we have
The beginning and the end mean so little
What matters most is what's in the middle
What's in the middle
End on A
5. Like My Mother Does
Chords:
: 133211 or x33211
G: 320033 or 320003
x2
People always say
I have a laugh
Like my mother does
Guess that makes sense
She taught me how to smile
When things get rough
I've got her spirit
She's always got my back
When I look at her I think
I want to be just like that
When I love
I give it all I've got
Like my mother does
When I'm scared
I bow my head and pray
Like my mother does
When I feel weak and unpretty
I know I'm beautiful and strong
Because I see myself like my mother does
I never met a stranger
I can talk to anyone
Like my mother does
I let my temper fly
And she can walk away
When she's had enough
She sees everybody
For who they really are
I'm so thankful for her guidance
She helped me get this far
When I love
I give it all I've got
Like my mother does
When I'm scared
I bow my head and pray
Like my mother does
When I feel weak and unpretty
I know I'm beautiful and strong
Because I see myself like my mother does
She's a rock
She is grace
She's an angel
She's my heart and soul
She does it all
When I love
I give it all I've got
Like my mother does
When I'm scared
I bow my head and pray
Like my mother does
When I'm weak and unpretty
I know I'm beautiful and strong
Because I see myself
Like my mother does
Like my mother does
I hear people saying
I'm starting to look
Like my mother does

6. She's A Wildflower
Chords:
G: 320033 or 320003
x2
She was the kind of girl that never quite fit in
Holes in her shoes and freckles on her skin
Every time she saw those school doors open wide
She'd wanna turn around and run back home and hide
Yeah yeah yeah, oh
She got used to being stuck at the back of the line
The kind that kept her head down most of the time
Secret dreams 'bout the boy in the high school band
Then wake up thinking she'd never have a chance
She's a wildflower
Just waitin' on a sunny day
Just waitin" on the winds of change to blow
Just a red hot spark
That's looking for a little flame, yeah
Trying to find the perfect place to grow
She's a wildflower
She's a wildflower
She makes a wish on every single star she sees
Yeah somewhere deep down she still believes
She prays every night before she goes to bed
Pretty soon her luck is gonna change
She just doesn't know it yet
She's a wildflower
Just waitin on a sunny day
Just waitin on the winds of change to blow
Just a red hot spark
That's looking for a little flame, yeah
Trying to find the perfect place to grow
She's a wildflower
She's a wildflower
She's a wildflower
Just waitin' on a sunny day
Just waitin' on the winds of change to blow
Just a red hot spark
That's looking for a little flame, yeah
Trying to find the perfect place
Yeah she's trying to find a place
She's a wildflower that's waiting on a sunny day
She's the secret that nobody knows
She's a wildflower

7. I'm Not One Of Them
Chords:
: 133211 or x33211
G: 320033 or 320003
You pull up in that jacked-up ride
Open the door on the passenger side
There's a lot of girls who might
Wanna climb inside
But I'm not one of them
You start flashing that country boy grin
And your big city money clip
There's a lot of girls who'd love to go cashing in
But I'm not one of them
Baby, baby
You're gonna have to do better than that
If you want my love
You gotta give me some back
Give me something real
Not another come on, baby, come on
There's a lot of girls who might
Just fall for what you got
But I'm not one of them
Now some may get into your kind of thing
That only you can make their little hearts sing
Well, you can go on thinking what you want to think
I'm not one of them
Baby, baby
You're gonna have to do better than that
If you want my love
You gotta give me some back
Give me something real
Not another come on, baby, come on
There's a lot of girls who might
Just fall for what you got
But I'm not one of them
I'm not some notch
On your Facebook wall
And I'm not some last chance
Midnight call
Baby, baby
You're gonna have to do better than that
If you want my love
You gotta give me some back
Give me something real
Not another come on, baby, come on, yeah
You're gonna have to do better than that
If you want my love
You gotta give me some back
Give me something real
Not another come on, baby, come on
There's a lot of girls who might
Just fall for what you got
But I'm not one of them
I'm not one of them

8. The Locket
Chords:
G: 320033 or 320003
x2
Back in '41 you met a brown eyed boy
Who called you pretty
He'd walk everyday a couple miles out of his way to hold your hand
And keep you company
Your mama said don't call it love at 14
But sitting on that front porch swing
He gave you his picture in a locket that you wore around your neck
Left it right beside your heart so you would not forget
The way it felt when he held your hand
And you swore that you would never take it off
And the butterflies you felt said it all
You were falling with the boy inside your locket
Back in '43 your brown eyed boy went over seas
And had to leave town for a little while
He swore he'd marry you as soon as the war was through
You would be his wife
Standing in the pouring rain
You cried as you watched him ride away
But everyday
You had his picture in a locket that you wore around your neck
Left it right beside your heart so you would not forget
The way his kiss tasted on your lips
And everyday felt like a lifetime with him gone
And you prayed that God would bring him safely home
'Cause you made a promise to the boy inside your locket
Oh, 60 years you two had together and he's been gone for a couple now
And it breaks my heart to see you struggle to remember
And I've been writing all your memories down
And I stopped by today to read a couple pages
Grandma, you sure look pretty
And you smile that smile, the one I haven't seen in quite a while
And you said to me, I want you to keep
His picture in a locket that I wore around my neck
The one I left beside my heart so I would not forget
The greatest love and the greatest man I've ever known
But it's getting time for me to head on home
She said, that brown eyed boy is waiting and I don't wanna keep him long
Heaven is calling, and she said, my heart is longing
For the boy inside your locket

9. Eighteen Inches (Lauren Alaina)
Chords:
G: 320033 or 320003
Bm7: x23042 ( if you prefer you can replace Bm7 by Bm: x24432 )
x4
It's about fifteen hundred miles to California
They'll get there Friday if they leave tonight
She sneaks out at three thirty in the morning
Leaves a note so she won't see her daddy cry
x2
He cuts the engine when he coasts in the driveway
She slides in and gives him one kiss for the road
No friends and no family, no job out there waiting
The whole town will call them crazy but they gotta go
'Cause when you're young and in love, yeah
You might do some things that don't seem all that smart
'Cause there ain't no greater distance than the eighteen inches from your
Head to your heart
x2
They can barely make rent on a rundown apartment
She's waiting tables and he's a valet
They're behind on the bills and the car's barely running
But he buys a ring with the tips that he's saved
'Cause when you're young and in love, yeah
You might do some things that don't seem all that smart
'Cause there ain't no greater distance than the eighteen inches from your
Head to your heart
Last thing they need is another mouth to feed, but they won't call
Just kids themselves but that's all to change in nine more months
She wakes him up at three thirty in the morning
Ready or not their new life's gonna start
Seven pounds and eighteen inches
The doctor lays that new baby's head right on her heart
'Cause when you're young and in love, yeah
You might do some things that don't seem all that smart
But thank God for those eighteen inches
The distance it is from your head to your heart

10. One Of Those Boys
Chords:
G: 320033 or 320003
: 133211 or x33211
I gotta little picture painted in my mind
Of that special, not so perfect guy
My heart wants me to find
He ain't too pretty, he ain't to sweet
A little rough around the edges
Cute and country just like me
One of those t-shirt, blue jean wearin'
Mama lovin', fishin' pole carryin
Swears a John Deere revvin' up
Is music instead of noise
Dirt road, 4-wheel drivin'
Riverside saturday night and
Sunday mornin' church goin' kinda boys
He ain't gotta have money or a brand new truck
But he better shake my daddy's hand
When he comes to pick me up
Gotta be a little reckless, a whole lotta fun
And he's gotta know my midnight curfew
Don't mean 12:01
One of those t-shirt, blue jean wearin'
Mama lovin', fishin' pole carryin
Swears a John Deere revvin' up
Is music instead of noise
Dirt road, 4-wheel drivin'
Riverside saturday night and
Sunday mornin' church goin' kinda boys
One of those cornfed, bonfires
Goin' down a hill in a tractor tire
Cow tippin', rope swingin'
Backwoods, front porch swingin' boys
One of those t-shirt, blue jean wearin'
Mama lovin', fishin' pole carryin
Swears a John Deere revvin' up
Is music instead of noise
Dirt road, 4-wheel drivin'
Riverside saturday night and
Sunday mornin' church goin' kinda boys
Sunday mornin' church goin' kinda boys
Sunday mornin' church goin' kinda boys
Yeah

Just make up their minds?

12. Dirt Road Prayer
Chords:
G: 320033 or 320003
: 133211 or x33211
Let the light shine on my mama
She's been worried about me
And I can tell she's tired
Walk my brother in a straight line
I know he's only 16
But he's been playing with fire
Give my grandpa a little peace and quiet
I can feel the years of hard work in his hands
Make my days pass just a little bit slower
I've been runnin' so fast
I've forgotten who I am
And so I go where the green grass grows
The weeds are high and the sun hangs low
Look to the sky and I say hello
Like it's the very first time
It doesn't matter how long it's been
I can talk to God like hes my best friend
Take my heart lay it down again right there
In a dirt road prayer
He's a good guy
Looks dad in the eye
And I wonder if you made him just for me
But before I fall give me patience
Until you show me where to take this
Yeah I go where the green grass grows
The weeds are high and the sun hangs low
Look to the sky and I say hello
Like it's the very first time
It doesn't matter how long it's been
I can talk to God like hes my best friend
Take my heart lay it down again right there
In a dirt road prayer
It's good to know I can
Always go where the green grass grows
The weeds are high and the sun hangs low
Look to the sky and I say hello ooo yeah
It doesn't matter how long it's been
I can talk to God like he's my best friend
Take my heart and lay it down again right there
In a dirt road prayer
yeah yeah
In a dirt road prayer
yeah yeah

[D] [G] x2
[D] Back in '41 [Bm]you met a brown eyed boy
[G] Who called you prett[D]y
He'd walk everyday [Bm]a couple miles out of his way to h[G]old your hand
And keep you compan[D]y
Your [Bm]mama said don't c[G]all it love at 1[D]4
But s[G]itting on that front porch sw[A]ing
He gave you his p[D]icture in a locket that you wore around your neck
Left it r[Bm]ight beside your heart so you would not forget
The w[G]ay it felt when he held your h[D]and
And you swore that you would never take it off
And the [Bm]butterflies you felt said it all
Y[G]ou were falling with the boy inside your lock[D]et
[D] Back in '43 your br[Bm]own eyed boy went over seas
And h[G]ad to leave town for a little wh[D]ile
He swore he'd marry you [Bm]as soon as the war was through
Y[G]ou would be his w[D]ife
St[Bm]anding in the p[G]ouring ra[D]in
You cr[G]ied as you watched him ride aw[A]ay
But everyd[Bm]ay [A]
You had his p[D]icture in a locket that you wore around your neck
Left it r[Bm]ight beside your heart so you would not forget
The w[G]ay his kiss tasted on your l[D]ips
And everyday felt like a lifetime with him gone
And you pr[Bm]ayed that God would bring him safely home
'Cause you m[G]ade a promise to the boy inside your l[D]ocket
Oh, [Bm]60 years y[G]ou two had together and h[D]e's been gone for a couple n[A]ow
And it br[Bm]eaks my heart to see you str[G]uggle to remember
A[D]nd I've been writing all your m[A]emories down
And I stopp[G]ed by today to r[D]ead a couple pages
Gr[Bm]andma, you sure look prett[D]y
And you sm[G]ile that sm[D]ile, the [G]one I haven't se[D]en in quite a wh[G]ile
And you s[A]aid to me, I want you to keep
His p[D]icture in a locket that I wore around my neck
The one I l[Bm]eft beside my heart so I would not forget
The gr[G]eatest love and the greatest man I've ever kn[D]own
But it's getting time for me to head on home
She said, that br[Bm]own eyed boy is waiting and I don't wanna keep him long
H[G]eaven is calling, and she said, my heart is longing
For the boy inside your l[D]ocket [G] [D] [G]
