I'm going to post some lyrics to some of his songs in a bit....but i just wanted to make a post about his songs....they are great....The Cigar Song, and Famous People have some of the best stories in them I've heard in a while.....marvelous

Famous People

Well you're the first car in an hour or so
I'm glad you stopped in, it's sure been slow around here today
Just like every day
Well I couldn't help but notice your California plates
And I thought I recognized that name on your credit card
You're a movie star
I can't wait to get back home and tell all my buddies
That I met one of the most famous people in the country

Well, I only go to movies when I'm down in Bowling Green
And cable don't come out this far so I never watch TV
I know you played in something but I'm gonna need some help
Hey wait, weren't you in Cannonball Run, no, oh well

Allow me to introduce myself
My name ain't John, this is somebody else's greasy shirt my name's Kurt
This is the town that I grew up in
I've never seen L.A., the closest I've been to Hollywood is Hollywood
But when you get back to Beverly Hills, you can tell all your buddies
That you met one of the most famous people in the country

'Cause I caught the record small mouth down on Kentucky Lake
And I threw the winning touchdown pass the night that we won state
And I'm still signing autographs after all these years
Oh, yeah I guess I'm gonna need yours, sign um here

I've been thinking about doing some acting someday
If I ever do make it out to L.A., can I give you a shout
Maybe crash on your couch
If you hear of any roles that are floating around
That would put me and Ashley Judd makin' out in a steamy love scene
I'd work pretty cheap
If the phones are down, just ask around you'll get a hold of me
'Cause I'm one of the most famous people in the country

You're talkin' to one of the most famous people in the country

The Cigar Song

Well I'm a sucker for fine Cuban cigars
The problem is I can't afford 'em
But last year I went and got myself a whole box
And just to be safe I insured 'em

I took out a policy against fire and theft
And then I hurried home
With a thirty-cent lighter I sat on my back steps
And I smoked 'em one by one

Two weeks later I went to see that insurance man
And I handed in my claim
With a straight face I told him that through a series of small fires
They'd all gone up in flames

They reviewed my case and they had no choice
But to pay me for what I'd done
And I took that check and bought a whole new box
And I smoked 'em one by one

Two weeks later this detective shows up
Tells me that company's pressin' charges
One speedy trial later they locked me up
On twenty-four separate counts of arson

And now I sit and I stare at a blank brick wall
Lookin' back on what I've done
To pass the time I've got some ten-cent cigars
And I smoke 'em one by one
Yeah, I smoke 'em one by one

Whiskey Lullabye (Brad Paisley with Alison Krauss)

She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette.
She broke his heart: He spent his whole life trying to forget.
We watched him drink his pain away, a little at a time,
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind,
Until the night:
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger.
And finally drank away her memory.
Life is short, but this time it was bigger,
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees.
We found him with his face down in the pillow,
With a note that said: "I'll love her till I die."
And when we buried him beneath the willow,
The angels sang a whiskey lullabye.
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la.
La la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la.

The room was full but nobody knew how much she blamed herself.
For years and years, she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath.
She finally drank her pain away, a little at a time,
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind.

Until the night:
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger.
And finally drank away his memory.
Life is short, but this time it was bigger,
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees.
We found her with her face down in the pillow,
Clinging to his picture for dear life.
We laid her next to him beneath the willow,
While the angels sang a whiskey lullabye.
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la.
La la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la.

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la.

La la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la.
