Life On The Run
Written by Jim Beavers, Brett Beavers, Dierks Bentley

She never knew my name
Least not the one my Daddy gave me
I took off the way I came
Moonlight reflecting off the chrome
She didn’t want my story, so I didn’t have to lie
If I loved her it was only for a night

Living life on the run
You can’t give your heart to no one
Your only friend is the setting sun
I didn’t do what they said I done
I gotta stay one step ahead
Or one of these days I’m gonna wake up dead
Dropped in my tracks by a bullet from a lawman’s gun
Oh, you can’t rest a minute
When you’re living life on the run

The white lines on the road
That’s the only trail I leave behind me
Been chasing highline poles
Ever since the night I skipped out of town
Somewhere in the distance is where I need to be
All I care about right now is speed

Living life on the run
You can’t give your heart to no one
Your only friend is the setting sun
I didn’t do what they said I done
I gotta stay one step ahead
Or one of these days I’m gonna wake up dead
Dropped in my tracks by a bullet from a lawman’s gun
Oh, you can’t rest a minute
When you’re living life on the run

Here they come now, gotta lay low
Done bent the law till the law got broke
Here they come now, gotta lay low
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Here they come now, they’re closing in
Pack of blood hounds gonna catch my scent
Here they come now, now I’m gone again

Yeah

Living life on the run
You can’t give your heart to no one
You can’t rest a minute when you’re living life on the run
No, you can’t rest a minute when you’re living life
On the run

Sideways
Written by Jim Beavers, Dierks Bentley

Hey girl what’s your name
It’s so loud in here I can’t hear a thing
But I sure do like your style
And I can see you came to rock
In your blue jeans and white tank top
Man that look drives me wild

And it’s hey now here we go, DJ don’t ya’ play nothing slow
Keep those girls out on the floor
Gotta make ‘em wanna come back for more
Been here since the sun went down, be here when it comes back around
Worked all week, it’s time to play
Gonna get a little bit sideways
Sideways

Ain’t no need to fight
Y’all take that redneck stuff outside
That’s what parking lots are for
Once you’re out, you ain’t coming back
The velvet rope ain’t got no slack
Man they’re busting down the door

Hey now here we go
DJ don’t ya’ play nothing slow
Gotta make ‘em wanna
Gotta make ‘em wanna

Gotta make ‘em wanna come back for more

Sideways
Sideways

Hey girl what’s your name
It’s so loud in here I can’t hear a thing

Feel That Fire
Written by Brett Warren, Brad Warren, Brett Beavers, Dierks Bentley

She wants her nails painted black
She wants the toy in the Cracker Jack
She wants to ride the bull at the rodeo
She wants to wear my shirt to bed
She wants to make every stray a pet
And drive around in my truck with no place to go

But she needs to feel that fire
The one that lets her know for sure
She’s everything I want and more
Her real desire
Is to know I’d walk alone out on the wire
To make her feel that fire

She wants a cabin in the woods
She wants to stand where nobody’s stood
Someday she wants a couple kids of her own
She wants to make love on a train
Some days she only wants a break
Hey she wants what she wants but man I know, I know, I know

She needs to feel that fire
The one that lets her know for sure
She’s everything I want and more
Her real desire

Is to know I’d walk alone out on the wire
To make her feel that fire, yeah, feel that fire

So as long as there’s a breath to take
A smile to share a prayer to pray
A chance to hold her hand and fan the flame

She’s gonna feel that fire
The one that lets her know for sure
She’s everything I want and more
Her real desire
Is to know I’d walk alone out on the wire
Yeah to make her feel that fire, oh, oh, oh
Feel that fire

She wants her nails painted black
She wants the toy in the Cracker Jack
She wants to ride the bull at the rodeo

I Wanna Make You Close Your Eyes
Written by Brett Beavers, Dierks Bentley.

Girl I’ve been waiting on this long hard day to get over
So I can rest my head right here on your shoulder
I just wanna lay here and feel you breathe
Listen to the rhythm of your heartbeat
And see where it leads

We’re wide awake but girl I wanna make you close your eyes
And say my name like only you can say then hold me tight
All I need is only you and me alone tonight
I wanna make you close your eyes

You can make me work for it girl if you want to
Just leave a trail for me to follow you into the bedroom
And if you need a little bit of help from me
Babe there’s not a button that I can’t reach

Let’s see where it leads

I wanna take you somewhere, out there
Till the world fades out of sight

We’re wide awake but girl I wanna make you close your eyes
And say my name like only you can say, then hold me tight, just hold me tight
All I need is only you and me alone tonight
Yeah, I wanna make you close your eyes
I wanna make you close your eyes
Girl, I wanna make you close your eyes

Here She Comes
Written by Jim Beavers, Brett Beavers, Dierks Bentley.

Here she comes, down the road
Rattling the gravel with the radio
Kicking out, some loud, honky tonk song
Here we go, buckle up
Put us both together in a pick up truck
Gonna be, memories, all night long
Might get wild I know
But here she comes, here we go

Ready or not
When she pulls the trigger I’m a load of buckshot
One little kiss
It’s a match to the fuse, the last bell at school
A kick to the bull at the rodeo
Here she comes, here we go

Here she comes, with a plan
Said she heard about a joint with a country band
Where they play, George Strait, that’s all
Here we go, walking in
She’s making every hat in the whole place spin
Around, checking out, that walk

Girls wish she’d just stay home
But here she comes, here we go

Here she comes, with that look
That says she’d rather be alone and that’s all it took
Here we go, out to that spot
Where we turn on the radio and the headlights off
Now she’s moving in real close
Here she comes, here we go

Ready or not
When she pulls the trigger, I’m a load of buckshot
One little kiss
It’s a match to the fuse, the last bell at school
Ready or not
When she pulls the trigger, I’m a load of buckshot
One little kiss
It’s a match to the fuse, the last bell at school
A kick to the bull at the rodeo
Here she comes, here we go

I Can't Forget Her
Written by Bart Butler, Mark A. Rone, F.E. Solesbee.

She found a cowboy
And I hear they settled down somewhere out west
Well I guess it’s for the best
Here in Del Rio
Nothing seems to change except the weather
And I can’t forget her

She goes running through my mind
Like that Rio Grande River winds through the desert
And I can’t forget her
No I can’t forget her

There’s a senorita

Who waits just over the borderline
For me tonight
And I could hold her
And this tequila could help me love her
But there’s still another

These endless starlit nights
Remind me of her eyes
This warm prairie breeze
Is like her arms wrapped around me

She found a cowboy
And I hear they settled down somewhere out west
Well I guess it’s for the best
But I can’t forget her
No I can’t forget her

Beautiful World (featuring Patty Griffin)
Written by Jim Beavers, Brett Beavers, Dierks Bentley.

All the noise and the voices are screaming what they have to say
And the headlines and sound bites are giving me demons to hate
And the man on TV, he tells me it’s ugly, but if you ask me it’s a

Beautiful world, it’s a beautiful world

There’s tears and there’s fears and there’s losses and crosses to bear
And sometimes the best we can do is just to whisper a prayer
Then press on because
There’s so much to live for and so much to love in this

Beautiful world
Say what you will but I still believe
It’s a beautiful world

It’s a beautiful world

And I know I’m not dreaming
I just choose to believe it

So I hate that I sometimes miss what’s right in front of my eyes
And I know at the end of my road I’ll be wanting more time
Just another sunset
One more kiss from my baby, a smile from a friend, in this

Beautiful world
It’s a beautiful world
Yeah, it’s a beautiful world
Say what you will but I still believe
It’s a beautiful world
It’s a beautiful world

Little Heartwrecker
Written by Steve Bogard, Brett Beavers, Dierks Bentley.

You can cry, cry, cry like the rain
Ocean full of tears won’t drown the pain
Take all your whiskey, pour it down the drain
Ain’t nothing gonna make you feel better
Ooo she’s a little heartwrecker
Ooo she’s a little heartwrecker

You can beg, beg, beg like a dog
Chase her ‘round the world but she’d still be gone
She did you right once but left you all wrong
Now you’re chewing on a Dear John letter
Ooo she’s a little heartwrecker

She takes a big black ball
And a long strong chain
And she lets it fall
Again and again and again and again and again
She’s a little heartwrecker

Sing, sing, sing a sad song
Honky tonk jukebox playing along
Until your last buddy and your money is gone
But still you can’t not remember

So pray, pray, pray like a saint
Promise your Maker all kinds of things
He don’t answer but you know He’d say
Son you better just forget her
Ooo she’s a little heartwrecker

She takes a big black ball
And a long strong chain
And she lets it fall
Again and again and again and again and again
She’s a little heartwrecker

She was sweet, sweet, sweeter than wine
Never knew nothing could be so fine
So you took it all out and laid it on the line
Best you ever had only better
Ooo she’s a little heartwrecker
Ooo she’s a little heartwrecker
Ooo she’s a little heartwrecker

You Hold Me Together
Written by Tony Martin, Brett Beavers, Dierks Bentley.

By now I should’ve been broken
On the rocks that rise from life’s ocean
Just another ship lost at sea
By now I should’ve been scattered
In the wind of my lonesome travels
Like a thousand dandelion seeds
And I should’ve come unraveled
At the seams like a well worn sweater
But you hold me together

My hopes should’ve been shattered
Like a bottle out behind some tavern

From a fight that you had no chance to win
My dreams should’ve been ashes
Gone up in smoke like a book of matches
Tossed away and never gonna burn again
And I should’ve worn right through
Like an old cowboy’s boot leather
But you hold me together

I feel your love surrounding me
Strong enough that I can believe
There won’t ever be a storm that I can’t weather
Cause you hold me together

Together, yeah, yeah

I feel your love surrounding me
Strong enough that I can believe
There won’t ever be a storm that I can’t weather
No there’ll never be a storm that I can’t weather

I should’ve been long forgotten
Just a footnote down at the bottom
Of a page in the book of what could’ve beens
My heart should lie in pieces
On the ground like a goodbye letter
But you hold me together
You hold me together, yeah, yeah,
You hold me together
Together, yeah, yeah,
Oh, you hold me, you hold me
Together

Better Believer
Written by Rivers Rutherford, Dierks Bentley.

Life is seen more clearly through our tears
Cause we all find some faith when we face our fears
When my life’s going like I want God becomes an afterthought
And I start trying to build my heaven here

A better believer would look to the skies
Shout hallelujah with tears in his eyes
Open his heart and start giving it all away
When I take a hard look at myself
And count my blessings I can’t but help
But wonder if there’s been some kind of mistake
This life of mine should belong to a better believer

All we really need in life is love
And in my time I’ve had more than enough
But some days I’m not satisfied
It happens to me every time
I look around instead of looking up

With all I’ve got to be thankful for
I should be doing so much more I know

A better believer would look to the skies
And shout hallelujah with tears in his eyes
Open his heart and start giving it all away
When I take a hard look at myself
And count my blessings I can’t but help
But wonder if there’s been some kind of mistake
Yeah this life of mine should belong to a better believer
Oh this life of mine should belong
To a better believer

Pray
Written by Rodney Crowell, Dierks Bentley.

Just because it didn’t last
Doesn’t mean that we were wrong
We both fell in love so fast
And now it’s gone
And the hurt is strong

Though we don’t see eye to eye
And a wind’s begun to blow
I’m gonna love you till I die
And I want you to know
Till they lay me low

I’ll pray
Love will bless and find you
Pray
For joy and happiness
Pray
For two strong arms around you
Pray

Was it something we can’t see
Maybe something we don’t know
If it wasn’t meant to be
We should just say so
And let it go

That with time
You’ll someday find
Peace

That with time
You’ll someday find
Peace
That with time
You’ll someday find
Love

Last Call (With Ronnie McCoury & Friends)
Written by Ronnie McCoury.

Early in the afternoon is the only time my mind is clear
To think of you and the love we knew, it’s a memory I hold so dear
Now we’re apart I’ve got a broken heart, the tears fall so sincere
I know it’s wrong but before too long, it’s gonna be whiskey and beer

Last call for alcohol still ringing in my head
You must’ve ordered two more double shots from the shape that you’re in
There ain’t no stopping my bar hopping, I should’ve stayed home instead
Last call for alcohol still ringing in my head

You got to stop the way you’re living, you better change your short life ways
Smoking, drinking and loving, you’re just numbering your days
Though I know what I need to do, if I could just turn around today
But her memory catches up with me and this bar stool’s where I’ll stay

Last call for alcohol still ringing in my head
