Brett Eldredge - Illinois Album Lyrics

Fire

You look good in the palm of my hands
Watch the light round your feet just dance
Feel your sweat pressed against my skin
Girl you're fire, you're fire
Take the breath right out of my chest
Burn me down till there ain't nothing left
Keep on doing what you do best
Girl you're fire, you're fire

There you go sliding your hand in my pocket
Lighting me up and I kinda like it
I know, oh oh oh
I know, oh oh oh
Here I am breaking into a cold hot sweat
You ain't even got started yet
I know, oh oh oh
You don't even know, oh oh oh
You're fire, you're fire
You're fire, you're fire, oh
Bring the heat

You're like a mess lying across that floor
Every step makes me want you more
Oh and you thought I wanted you before
Well girl you're fire, you're fire

There you go sliding your hand in my pocket
Lighting me up and I kinda like it
I know, oh oh oh
I know, oh oh oh
Here I am breaking into a cold hot sweat
You ain't even got started yet
I know, oh oh oh
You don't even know, oh oh oh
You're fire, you're fire
You're fire, oh

Ridin' those eyes covered in smoke
Face is red as a dirty joke
Shakin' those hips, lickin' those lips
Doin' what you do to get the whole room lit

There you go sliding your hand in my pocket
Lighting me up and I kinda like it
I know, oh oh oh
I know, oh oh oh
Here I am breaking into a cold hot sweat
You ain't even got started yet
I know, oh oh oh
You don't even know, oh oh oh
You're fire, you're fire
You're fire, you're fire, oh
Yeeeeaaaaah

You Can't Stop Me

Wall to wall, it's packed
Give your hands a smack
Polish up my watch
VIP is in the back
Hear the beat of the music playing
Rat pack, hi-hat swaying
I'll blaze it up and braise it
I'm saying

Just like the roof is on fire
So turn up the heat
All my friends are here
But the drinks on me
Pretty girls around
Everywhere you look
It's right on my face
You can say I'm hooked on
This crazy life I'm living
This crazy love I'm giving
Sit back, just watch, you'll see
You can try but you can't stop me
You can't stop me
No, you can't

[Thomas Rhett:]
Oh no, the goose is loose
Just feeling up this groove
Don't it feel nice
Burning up these lights
Those green eyes, I've been watching
Got me all caught up and
The way your hips are talking
I can't stop it

Just like the roof is on fire
So turn up the heat
All my friends are here
But the drinks on me
Pretty girls around
Everywhere you look
It's right on my face
You can say I'm hooked on
This crazy life I'm living
This crazy love I'm giving
Sit back, just watch, you'll see
You can try but you can't stop me
You can't stop me
No, you can't

Bring the heat back
I could party with you, you could party with me
If you party with us, then you better believe
That the lights are up in this town
But they're about, about to go down
And it's about midnight
Oh, and I think she might
Told her to spin around, all around this town

Feels like the roof is on fire
So turn up the heat
All my friends are here
But the drinks on me
Pretty girls around
Everywhere you look
It's right on my face
You can say I'm hooked on
This crazy life I'm living
This crazy love I'm giving
Sit back, just watch, you'll see
You can try but you can't stop me
You can't stop me
No, you can't

Lose My Mind

You put me on a roller coaster, fly me on a plane
You send me to another planet, get inside my brain
I knew right when I met you I would never be the same
But I let you take me over, girl, so I'm the one to blame, oh

You... make all my screws come... loose
Got me perfectly con... fused
Always find a way to mess me up and drive me wild
I love the way you make me lose my mind
Lose my mind

You make me crazy and I kinda like it
You show me that apple, girl, and I wanna bite it
So crazy that I gotta have it
And I never wanna get out of this straitjacket

You... make all my screws come... loose
Got me perfectly con... fused
Always find a way to mess me up and drive me wild
I love the way you make me lose my...

I feel the walls closing in inside this padded room
Only good thing about it is I'm locked in here with you, yeah
I'm always watching you, wondering what you'll do next
But my favorite part about it is I always have to guess (you know I do)

You... you make all my screws come... loose
Got me perfectly con... fused
Always find a way to mess me up and drive me wild
I love the way you make me lose my mind
Make me lose my mind
Lose my mind
Make me lose my mind
Make me lose my mind
Lose my mind

Wanna Be That Song

The radio and a sundress
Making my world all a mess
Back corner of a cornfield
Bottle tops and a true spear
Pull the lever, lay the seat back laughin
You slippin off your shoes
While the dashboard speakers sing every word of that moon

I wanna be that song that gets you high
Makes you dance, makes you fall
That melody rewinds years
Once disappear, makes time stall
Wanna be those words that fill you up
Pull your windows down and keeps you young
Makes you believe you're right where you belong
I wanna be that song
I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be that song
Ohh, I wanna be, I wanna, I wanna

I wanna stand with you in the third row
Window booth at a bar
Back pew on a Sunday poorin out your heart
When the bleachers are crowded
When you're sittin all alone
When the rain is pourin and you need something to take you home

Let me be that song that gets you high
Makes you dance, makes you fall
That melody rewinds years
Once disappear, makes time stall
Wanna be those words that fill you up
Pull your windows down and keeps you young
Makes you believe you're right where you belong
I wanna be that song
I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be that song
Ohh, I wanna be, I wanna, I wanna

When you're searching the horizon
When you're eyes look back
When you're standing in the moment
Every life has a soundtrack

Oh, I wanna be, I wanna be, oh, I wanna be
I wanna be that song that gets you high
Makes you dance, makes you fall
That melody rewinds years
Once disappear, makes time stall
Wanna be those words that fill you up
Pull your windows down and keeps you young
Makes you believe you're right where you belong
I wanna be that song

When the highway's calling
When the bottle's dry
When the sky is falling and you're asking yourself why
Oh, Oh, I wanna be, yeah, oh.

Time Well Spent

I've been racing, chasing, caught up in the grind
Damn near going out of my mind
And it's getting old real fast
I need a new time zone, zip code, point of view
I sat by the window seat and too (Don't fly with me)
A drunken run so crowded

And here we are
Strangers, barefoot dancing on the bar
The bottom of the bottle seems so far
So come on, let's dive back in
Cause I'm tired of working, it's time to play
Where I stumble's where I've stayed
If palm tree shade makes a perfect tent
Then wasted time is time well spent

I got all I need
Floating on the breeze in [?]
The pounding in my head's starting to ease
From the magic in this glass
Yeah, that's the way it works down here
Things turn around real fast

And here we are
Strangers, barefoot dancing on the bar
The bottom of the bottle seems so far
So come on, let's dive back in
Cause I'm tired of working, it's time to play
Where I stumble's where I've stayed
If palm tree shade makes a perfect tent
Then wasted time is time well spent

You can get a little loud
We can get a little hard to find
Give a little bit of love
We'll mix it with a bit of sunshine
Mix it up

And here we are
Strangers, barefoot dancing on the bar
The bottom of the bottle seems so far
So come on, let's dive back in
Cause I'm tired of working, it's time to play
Where I stumble's where I've stayed
If palm tree shade makes a perfect tent
Then wasted time is time well spent

You gotta waste a little time in your life once in a while
Come on everybody
Ah, here we are
Strangers, barefoot dancing on the bar
Fill 'er up again
It's time well spent, it's time well spent
It's time well spent, it's time well spent

If You Were My Girl

You light up every street light
You stop every heart when you start that smile
But somehow you're still lonely
Oh let me show you why you're the only one I wanna give my heart to
If you give me the chance, oh I'll show you it's alright
Oh watch your life

To pick you up, I'd lay you down
I'd hold you 'til you come unwound
I'd make you feel like you're all I need
In this whole world
Ah, if you were my girl
If you were my girl

You wouldn't be staring at the ceiling
With a half broke heart wondering if that feeling is ever
Going to fade away
I'd change all that if you let me today
Cause I've never wanted anything
The way I want you next to me
For all my life
Come on let's ride

I'll pick you up, I'll lay you down
I'd hold you 'til you come unwound
I'd make you feel like you're all I need
In this whole world
Ah, if you were my girl
If you were my girl

For the first time maybe ever, who am I kidding
Girl I've never felt the way I feel, oh it's so real

Let me pick you up, and lay you down
Hold you 'til you come unwound
I'll make you feel like you're all I need
In this whole world
If you were my girl

If you were my girl
If you were, if you were my girl
If you were my girl
Oh if you were, if you were my girl
If you were, if you were my girl

Illinois

I come from the heart of the Heartland
Where pictures shows where the corn grows
In rows and rows of summer greens
And winter snows
And it goes on
Through the crack of the bat
Oh everybody rollin' out there welcome mat
And our hands on our hearts under the stars of the Friday night flag

And ohhhh the heart will wander
Beyond that wild blue yonder
When I get lost in the noise like a whisper I hear the voice of the boy
Ohhhh from Illinois

I remember the first time
I saw that name on the marquee sign
Lights so bright could almost make you blind
I'd get lost in
Sweet girls singin' along
Buses rollin' on in the silver dawn
Seein' the world a long long way from home

And ohhhh the heart will wander
Beyond that wild blue yonder
When I get lost in the noise like a whisper I hear the voice of the boy
Ohhhh...

It's water through my blood
It's the place I got my roots
It's the fire that's in my soul
It's the mud that's on my boots

Oooo Illinois...

And ohhhh the heart will wander
Beyond that wild blue yonder
When I get lost in the noise
Like a whisper I hear the voice of the boy
Ohhhh from Illinois

Just A Taste

All I can do is try to drink you in
And do my best
To soak up all that sugar from your skin
But then you had to go and kiss me
You made me fall a little bit harder in this age
You gonna have to miss me
Oh, what do you got to do that for your lips

Pressed to my lips
Oh, in my mind I keep
Replaying it
Over and over but that's how
I found that you're my favorite flavor
But all you left me was
Just a taste
Just a taste

I'd love to run my fingers through your head
We could just pick up
Where we left off and start right there, hell I don't care
Oh, tell me what's your secret
Or how'd you get me going all crazy like this
And you got the touch and I need it
And I'm thinking you know that I can't resist your lips

Pressed to my lips
Oh, in my mind I keep
Replaying it
Over and over but that's how
I found that you're my favorite flavor
But all you left me was

Now all I do
Is think about you all the time
But let me show you
That you never felt a love like mine
No you never felt a love like mine

All you left me was
Your lips pressed to my lips

Oh, in my mind I keep
Replaying it
Over and over but that's how
I found that you're my favorite flavor
But all you left me was
Just a taste, yeah
Just a taste, yeah
Back in my mind all the time
Just a taste
So good on that sugar from your skin
Oh, I gotta drink you in
Oh, let me drink you in
Just a taste

Drunk On Your Love

The second she walked through the door, I caught a buzz
One taste from your lips knocked me out just like a drug
The rest of the night's kind of blurry
Now the sun's peeking through the shades
I can't help but laugh cause I kind of like feeling this way

I woke up, up still drunk, drunk
On your love, love, on your love, love
Now I know why-y I'm feeling so high, high
Cause I'm still drunk, drunk on your love, on your love

It's not in the whiskey, tequila or the wine
It's all about the touch and the fire in your eyes
It gets me fumbling always stumbling through a haze
I got plenty to do just laying here with you all day

I woke up, up still drunk, drunk
On your love, love, on your love, love
Now I know why-y I'm feeling so high, high
Cause I'm still drunk, drunk on your love, on your love

Wish I could bottle you up and drink you in all day long
Every day singing this song

I woke up, up still drunk, drunk
On your love, love, on your love, love
Now I know why-y I'm feeling so high, high
Cause I'm still drunk, drunk on your love, on your love

(Woke up still drunk on your love)
On your love, on your love
On your love
On your love, on your love
On your love, get drunk on your love, yeah
I'm so drunk

Lose It All

First you gotta learn how not to listen,
When she opens up her heart.
Try your best to make it all about you,
That's the easy part.

Take all your promises, and break 'em.
Stay out late, and come home high.
And by this time you're on your way,
It's gonna be over any day.
And if you've really tried,
You won't have to wonder why.

Take it from a man who knows,
Just how to break a heart.
Listen hard, listen close,
I got it down to a not.
Keep on thinkin' she won't leave,
Ignore the writing on the wall.
That's how you lose it all.

Let the walls fall down around you.
Let the bills and the dishes stack up to the sky.
Make friends with regret,
And try your damnedest to forget.
And you bet, you never will,
Oh I swear, you never will.

Take it from a man who knows,
Just how to break a heart.
Listen hard, listen close,
I got it down to a not.
Keep on thinkin' she won't leave,
Ignore the writing on the wall.
That's how you lose it all.

Take it from a man who knows,
Just how to break a heart.
Listen hard, listen close,
I got it down to a not.
Keep on thinkin' she won't leave,
Ignore the writing on the wall.
That's how you lose it all.

You lose it all.
Take all your promises, and break 'em.

Shadow

I got a shadow and it follows me around
Wherever I go, it moves without a sound
My odds are [?], that hunts me down and gets me
Finds a way to trick me
Then drowns me in the whiskey
Hold up, I need some help
The more you feed the beast, the more he raises hell
I know I got a problem
But you know what they say
Smoke 'em if you got 'em

[Chorus:]
Feeling good
[?] than I should
It's gone far
I'm standing up here dancing on the wire
There's no denying
We came uninvited
And I kinda [?]

Find me a preacher, I'm down on my knees
I need a leader to break these chains off of me
Don't let 'em hurt me, I'm getting kind of worried
Vision's getting blurry, please, somebody hurry

[Chorus]

Pretty little angel, whisper in my ear
Please just make him disappear
I don't know if I can take no more

[Chorus]

[?]
He's following me around
It gets worse at night
Alright, let me have a drink

Going Away For Awhile

I'm going away for a while
Don't care how many miles
It takes it get wherever I go
As long as I can take it slow
And take my time
Finding a brand new heart
Making a brand new start
Been watching the whole world
Fall apart and the pieces
Keep on breaking, so

If I go on down this road
Hand out the window
Singing every song I love
Find me a boat, a plane
A take me home country road rain
Don't worry, I'm going away for a while
But I'll come back with a smile

I'll be kicked back in the shade
Nothing but buzz in my veins
Nobody knowing my name
I'm just a face and a place
A dot on the map
And it's too short of a life
I gotta enjoy the ride
I finally get to feeling alive
I'm taking off, I'm flying

If I go on down this road
Hand out the window
Singing every song I love
Find me a boat, a plane
A take me home country road rain
Don't worry, I'm going away for a while
But I'll come back with a smile

And just outside this bar
There's a shop with a postcard
I'll write your name
"Wish You Were Here"
And I'll be back when things are clearer

So I go on down this road
Hand out the window
Singing every song I love
Find me a boat, a plane
A take me home country road rain
Don't worry, I'm going away for a while
But I'll come back with a smile
