Well I guess you'd call me trouble
I have been most my life
Been black and blue a time or two
'Cause I ain't scared to fight
But I got myself a sweetheart
That stands right by my side
Always around to cool me down
When I get dixie fried
And I know she loves to party
She knows I don't like crowds
But I compromise on Friday nights
And we go paint the town
She turns heads in every club
We hang out in 'til three
But I don't care how much they stare
She's going home with me
She's going home with me tonight
On that you can depend
She's not just some one night stand
That girl's is my best friend
And I don't have to be jealous
Just wait around and see
She don't want nobody else
She's going home with me
Well I used to go out prowlin'
Skirt chasing every night
Sniffing 'round like some ol' hound
Like all you other guys
Until from out of nowhere
She took me by the hand
I found what I'd been looking for
Dog days came to an end
So listen good now fellas
No need to act the fool
I treat her well, no way in hell
That she'd leave me for you
Your come on lines won't sway her
She's happy as can be
She made her choice, forget it boys
She's going home with me
She's going home with me tonight
On that you can depend
She's not just some one night stand
That girl's is my best friend
And I don't have to be jealous
Just wait around and see
She don't want nobody else
She's going home with me
I don't have to get jealous
Just wait around and see
She made her choice, forget it boys
She's going home with meWords and music by Jimmy Nail
when I was born as I recall
the preacher didn't hold out any hope at all
he looked at me all pink and skin
thought he'd better dip me in the bath again
I scuffed my shins on bigger things
people throwin' rocks at the angel's wings
but through it all I stood tall
even when my back was up against the wall
the devil's daughter keep a calling out my name
I so sincerely want to cross the road and play the game
raise your hands, jump for joy
let's hear it for the country boy
raise your hands, jump for joy
let's hear it for the country boy
so I grow'd up became a man
took my daddy's teachings all across the land
the journey's long but I must be strong
and try to tell the difference 'tween right and wrong
the devil's daughter keep a calling out my name
I've been to heaven! now I'm never gonna see things the same
raise your hands, jump for joy
let's hear it for the country boy
raise your hands, jump for joy
let's hear it for the country boy
