[Intro:]
(Oh, oh)

Now here we go
Mmmm-mmm-mmm

[Verse 1: T-Pain]
Baby, I've been waitin for you to come home
Cuz I done cleared off the backseat, cleaned the top and out some new 24s on the ??
Latley I've been waitin to try somethin new
Cuz we done did every last one of your fantasies
But we aint did nothin I wanna do
Cuz we done did in in the elevator (been there done that)
Now it's time to do it my way (I know you want that)
And pullin your hair, won't even compare to what I'm about to do to you on this highway
[Chorus: T-Pain]
I'm talkin bout that backseat action (oh)
Out in the middle of the traffic (oh)

Holla at me, (oooh) can I get a witness?
Now here we go
[Hook: Shawnna (T-Pain)]
Here we go, back and forth, (mmmm) break it down, or take it slow (mmmm)
Take control, make it roll, (mmmm) break it down, now here we go (here we go)
Here we go, back and forth, (mmmm) break it down, or take it slow (mmmm)
Take control, make it roll, (mmmm) break it down, now here we go
[Verse 2: T-Pain]
Shawty, you can call me whenever you need
Workin in the Excursion, kissin in the Expedition like yes indeed
Baby, it's all gravy; it's all good
Cuz we gon' need to open up the backdoor and let your legs out
Or I'm-a put you right on the hood
I've been down like an elevator (been there done that)
I know you like to do it my way (I know you want that)
And pullin your hair, won't even compare to what I'm about to do to you on this highway
[Chorus: T-Pain]
I'm talkin bout that backseat action (oh)

There's a plane and I am flying
There's a mountain waiting for me
Oh these years have been so trying
I don't know if I can use them
Am I strong enough
To be the one?
Will I live to have some children?
Help me get down
I can make it
Help me get down
Help me get down
I can make it
Help me get down
If I only knew the answer
I wouldn't be bothering you, Father
Help me get down
I can make it
Help me get down
Help me get down
I can make it
Help me get down
If I only knew the answer
And if all our days are numbered
Then why do I keep counting?
My sugar sweet
Is so atainable
This behaviour so unexplainable
The days just slip and slide
Like they always did
The trouble is my head
Won't let me forget
I took one last good look around
So many unusual sounds
I gotta get my feet on the ground
Help me get down
I can make it
Help me get down
I can make it
Help me get down
Help me get down
I can make it
Help me get down
If I only knew the answer
I wouldn't be bothering you, Father
Help me get down
I can make
Help me get down
Help me get down
I can make it
Help me get down
If I only knew the answer
And if all our days are numbered
I wouldn't be bothering you
Would you help me get down?
If I only knew the answer
If I change my way of living
And If I pave my streets with the good times

Take me to the place here the white boys dance.
Take me to the place where they run and play.
My baby is gone, you might have a chance.
Just take me to the place where the white boys dance.
They hug in silence,
As the sun sets.
On their empty street,
Their suspicions where they rise and hide.
And then who sweeps them off she doesn't leave.
She walks inside him,
pours a strong one.
Put her mind at ease.
It's the calm before another storm.
And the friendships from the whiskey to the keys.
Take me to the place where the white boys dance.
Take me to the place where they run and play.
My baby is gone, you might have a chance.
Just take me to the place where the white boys... dance.
Her heart is racing.
She phones a friend to say:
I'm in an awful place.
That fools been messin' around on me
I've seen it in his eyes on his face
Hold on a minute.
You're talking crazy
Don't be that jealous girl.
Just telephone you need an hour or two.
Cause we're going go and change somebodies word.
Take me to the place where the white boys dance.
Take me to the place where they run and play.
My baby is gone, you might have a chance.
Just take me to the place where the white boys dance.
It's the calm before another storm...
It's the calm before another storm.
And the friendships from the whiskey to the keys.
Take me to the place where the white boys dance.
Take me to the place where they run and play.
My baby is gone, you might have a chance.
Just take me to the place where the white boys... dance.
You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes
He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young
Can we climb this mountain
I dont know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now
Watch it go
We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane
That started turning
When you were young
When you were young
And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young
They say the devil's water
It ain't so sweet
You dont have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while
You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young
(talks like a gentleman)
(like you imagined)
When you were young
I said he doesnt look a thing like Jesus
He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know
When everybody else refrained, my Uncle Jonny did cocaine. He’s convinced himself right in his brain, that it helps to take away the pain.
Hey, Jonny. Hey what you say, Jonny?
I want to go out tonight.
Cut me a little closer to the city lights.
Levitation ain’t your only friend.
Levitation coming back again.
You feel a burning in your body core.
It’s a yearning that you can’t ignore.
And I want to go out tonight.
Success the superman and hold on tight.
But he’s convinced himself right in his brain, that it helps to take away the pain.
Hey Jonny. Hey what you say Jonny?
My appetite ain’t got no heart.
I said my appetite ain’t got no heart.
Shocking people when you feel that pull.
Shock 'em drop ‘em when you know it’s full.
I feel a burning in my body core.
It’s a yearning that you can’t ignore.
Now I got to go out tonight.
Hey, Jonny, I got faith in you man.
I mean it, it’s gonna be all alright.
He’s convinced himself right in his brain that it helps to take away the pain.
Hey Jonny. Hey, what you say Jonny?
Tell us what’s going on.
Feels like everything’s wrong.
Hey, what you say Jonny?
And if the future is real, Jonny, you’ve got to heal.
Hey, what you say Jonny?
When everybody else refrained, my uncle Jonny did cocaine.
This River Is Wild lyrics
The leaves are falling down on the beautiful ground
I heard a story from the man in red
He said the leaves are falling down
Such a beautiful sound
Son, I think you better go ahead
But you always hold your head up high
Cause it's a long, long, long way down
This town was meant for passing through
Boy, it ain't nothin' new
Now go and show 'em that the world stayed round
But it's a long, long, long way down
You better run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the sound of the world
Then watch it turn
I just wanna show you what I know
Then catch you in the current and let you go
Or I should I just get along with myself
I never did get along with everybody else
I've been trying hard to do what's right
But you know I could stay here
All night
And watch the clouds fall from the sky
This river is wild
This river is wild...
Run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the sound of the world
Then watch it turn
Sometimes I'm nervous when I talk
Sometimes I hate the line I walk
I just wanna show you what I know
Then catch you in the current and let you go
Or I should I just get along with myself
I never did get along with everybody else
I've been trying hard to do what's right
But you know I could stay here
All night
And watch the clouds fall from the sky
Because this river is wild
Godspeed ya, boy
This river is wild
Now Adam's taking bombs
And he's stuck on his mom
Because that bitch keeps trying to make him pray
He's met the hippie in the park
Comin' over the dark
Just trying to get some of that little girl play
You better run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the sound of th

Breaking my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
I'm breaking my back just to know your name
But heaven aint close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink you might miss
'Cos heaven aint close in a place like this
I said heaven aint close in a place like this
Bring it back down bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumour ruin my moonlight
But somebody told me you had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in Febuary of last year
Its not confidential
I've got potential
Ready lets roll onto something new
Taking its toll that I'm leaving without you
'Cos heaven aint close in a place like this
I said heaven aint close in a place like this
Bring it back down bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumour ruin my moonlight
Well somebody told me you had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend
that I had in Febuary of last year
Its not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin a rushin around
Pace yourself from me (from me)
I said maybe baby please (please)
But I just don't know now (maybe baby)
When all I wanna do is try
But somebody told me you had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend
that I had in Febuary of last year
Its not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin a rushin around
But somebody told me you had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend
that I had in Febuary of last year
Its not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin a rushin around
Somebody told me you had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend
that I had in Febuary of last year
Its not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin a rushin around.
Save some face, you know you've only got one
Change your ways while you're young
Boy, one day you'll be a man
Oh girl, he'll help you understand
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Looking back at sunsets on the Eastside
We lost track of the time
Dreams aren't what they used to be
Some things sat by so carelessly
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
And someone is calling my name
From the back of the restaurant
And someone is playing a game
In the house that I grew up in
And someone will drive her around
Down the same streets that I did
On the same streets that I did
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Once in a lifetime, the suffering of fools
To find our way home, to break in these palms
Once in a lifetime (Once in a lifetime)
Once in a lifetime
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Once in a lifetime, the breaking of the roof
To find that our home, has long been a throne
Draw me a life line, 'cause honey I got nothing to lose
Once in a lifetime (Once in a lifetime)
Once in a lifetime
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Look at my reflection in the mirror
Underneath the power of the light
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a shot at the night
I feel like I'm losing the fight
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Nobody ever had a dream round here,
but I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me
Nobody ever pulls the seams round here,
but I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me
I've got this energy beneath my feet
like something underground's gonna come up and carry me,
I've got this sentimental heart that beats
but I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me now
Why do you waste my time?
Is the answer to the question on your mind
And I'm sick of all my judges
so scared of what they'll find
But I know that I can make it
As long as somebody takes me home,
every now and then...
Well have you ever seen the lights?
Have you ever seen the lights?
I took a shuttle on a shockwave ride
where people on the pen pull the trigger for accolades
I took a bullet and I looked inside it
Running through my veins an American masquerade
I still remenber grandma Dixie's wake
I've never really known anybody to die before
Red white and blue upon a birthday cake
My brother, he was born on the fourth of the July...and that's all
Why do you waste my time?
Is the answer to the question on your mind
And I'm sick of all my judges
they're so scared of letting me shine
But I know that I can make it
As long as somebody takes me home
Wooooooo!
(every now and then)
(every now and then)
You know I see London, I see Sam's Town
holds my hand and let's my hair down
Rolls that world right off my shoulder
I see London, I see Sam's Town now
