Beachin' Lyrics

So just watchin' her blonde hair, sun burn, stare at them, wack caps rolling over
Laid back in a thrift store beach chair, droppin' limes in her Corona
Well she looks back, yeah, she throws me a kiss, like honey I sure want you
And it's a hundred and three between her and me and only 92 in Daytona

And it's sunshine, blue eyes, tan lines, slow tide
Rollin' white sand, cold can koozie in my hand, just a summertime strolling
Chillin', breazin', sippin', singin' whoaoaoh

Beachin'

We got 2-for-1s, we're at a margarita bar, whatever happens happens
And there's a reggae band, full of dread head, just sittin' in the corner laughin'
Well my baby walks over, drops a 20 in a jar, she smiles and shakes it at me
Yeah, she gets 'em goin', she gets 'em playin' a little, don't worry be happy

And it's sunshine, blue eyes, tan lines, slow tide
Rollin' white sand, cold can koozie in my hand, just a summertime strolling
Chillin', breazin', sippin', singin' whoaoaoh

Beachin'

You got a margarita here in my hand, doin' a little drinkin'

Talkin' 'bout sunshine, blue eyes, tan lines, slow tide
Rollin' white sand, cold can koozie in my hand, just a summertime strolling
Chillin', breazin', sippin', singin' whoaoaoh,

Beachin', sunshine, blue eyes, tan lines, slow tide
Rollin' white sand, cold can koozie in my hand

Beachin'

This summery lifestyle jam with a laid-back groove finds Jake Owen singing of a slow and relaxing time by the sea. He sings:

"And it's sunshine, blue eyes, tan lines, so tight.
Rollin' white sand, cold can, koozie in my hand just a summer time strollin.'
Chillin' breezin' sippin' singin' oh-oh-oh.
Beachin'."

Owen told Rolling Stone this Jaren Johnston, Jon Nite and Jimmy Robbins penned tune, "sounds like if 'Barefoot Blue Jean Night' had a sister song, this would be it."

The song's music video continues the love story that started at the end of the clip for "Days Of Gold." The visual is the second of three installments of the ongoing tale.

Jaren Johnston told Roughstock about the day he wrote the song with Jimmy Robbins and Jon Nite. "I came in there, and at the time, [Kenny] Chesney was picking songs for the Island record (Life On A Rock) that he did a while back with 'Pirate Flag' and all that stuff on it," the songwriter recalled. "Originally when we got through it, I was like, 'Man, this would be great for Chesney.' So I called him and told him I was going to send him a song. He got it and listened to it, and told me it was cool, but he was kind of done with the album."

"I kind of went back in, and we changed it up a bit because I knew that Jake was cutting (Days Of Gold), because I already had a couple of songs cut with him for that record," Johnston added. "I wanted to make the verses more Shawn Mullins-like. We got through that first chorus, and we all thought it would be perfect for Jake. It was totally his world ... he's super on the water all the time, always on the beach or on a boat or whatever. I sent it to him the next morning, and he hit me back immediately saying he wanted to play it for his producers, and here we are!"

The song was Owen's third #1 on the Country chart. The Nashville star first reached the summit with "Barefoot Blue Jean Night" in September 2011, before reigning with "Alone With You," in April 2012.

This was Owen's second summer hit following his success with "Barefoot Blue Jean Night" in 2011. "We put it out hoping it would do well, but you never really know when you put a song out," Owen told Billboard magazine. "The timing was perfect, and it went #1 July 4 weekend," he said. "I guess I'm the summertime anthem guy now."

1972 Lyrics

1972
Daddy drove in over, it was sky blue
He worked at a record store after school
Call it sympathy for the vinyl

1972
Turntable in the basement, Major Cool
A hippie girl, couple cold beers split in two
You got your own rock n roll revival

Girl you know they didn’t ride
So come on over tonight

I’m gonna rock you like Zeppelin, roll you like the stones
Burr like them speakers in my old headphones
Gonna fly like an eagle when I drop a needle on the blues
I’m gonna get the metal piece down from the attic
With a pop and a hiss and a little bit of static
We’ll be chillin' like a villain on some Dylan while we’re killin' some booze
We’re gonna kick it like the kids did in 1972

So will it just be me and you
Playing air drums with The Who’s Keith Moon
You know them good ones always die too soon
Like Jimmy, Jim and Joplin

Yea, kickin back, cutting loose
Sippin on Jack, that’s what we do
It don’t matter baby girl cus in a few
You’re gonna hear heaven a knockin

Look out!

I’m gonna rock you like Zeppelin, roll you like the stones
Burr like them speakers in my old headphones
Gonna fly like an eagle when I drop a needle on the blues
I’m gonna get the metal piece down from the attic
With a pop and a hiss and a little bit of static
We’ll be chillin' like a villain on some Dylan while we’re killin' some booze
Well let’s kick it like the kids did in 1972

I’m gonna rock you like Zeppelin, roll you like the stones
Burr like them speakers in my old headphones
Gonna fly like an eagle when I drop a needle on the blues
I’m gonna get the metal piece down from the attic
With a pop and a hiss and a little bit of static
We’ll be chillin' like a villain on some Dylan while we’re killin' some booze
Well let’s kick it like the kids did in 1972

Yea, we’re gonna kick it like the kids did in 1972

1972

This nostalgic Jaren Johnston and Jim Beavers penned Southern Rock tune features shout outs to classic rockers. "The feel of it resembles the title, Jake Owen told Billboard magazine. "It's got a cool Stones-y kind of feel to it. It's a southern rock kind of thing, and I love all the throwback references to Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison, and 'Daddy drove a Nova that was sky blue.' There's just a cool groove to it."

Ghost Town Lyrics

Thought it was safe to go outside
But I guess I was wrong
Thought I could take a little ride
Just to see what was going on
Girl I know it's been a while
A while since you've been gone I swear
Aw but baby I still see you everywhere

Around every corner, cafe, back road, stop sign, stoplight streetlight glowing
Around every highway, driveway, fast song, slow song on my radio
At every party, dive bar, backseat in my car
Sounds crazy I know
But you just keep hanging around
You got me living in a Ghost Town
Girl I see you every road I go down
Your memory of me about to throw down, showdown, oh now
Why'd you leave me living in a ghost town
(Why'd you leave me living in a ghost town)

Across the room I see your face
Then it disappears
I hear your voice call out my name
Whispering in my ear
I reach for you but you're not here
You're still here

Around every corner, cafe, back road, stop sign, stoplight streetlight glowing
Around every highway, driveway, fast song, slow song on my radio
At every party, dive bar, backseat in my car
Sounds crazy I know
But you just keep hanging around
You got me living in a ghost town
Girl I see you every road I go down
Your memory of me about to throw down, showdown, oh now
Why'd you leave me living in a ghost town

I know you don't want me, so why oh why oh why do you haunt me

Around every corner, cafe, back road, stop sign, stoplight, streetlight glowing
Around every highway, driveway, fast song, slow song on my radio
At every party, dive bar, backseat in my car
Sounds crazy I know
But you just keep hanging around
You got me living in a ghost town
Girl I see you every road I go down
Your memory of me about to throw down, showdown, oh now
Why'd you leave me living in a ghost town

Ghost Town

This Chris DeStefano, Ashley Gorley and Shane McAnally written mournful cut paints a clear picture of heartbreak. It was the first song that Jake Owen recorded for Days Of Gold. He told Radio.com : "It was just because when I heard it, it's infectious. The way that the verse runs into the chorus, and then the chorus runs into this post-chorus. It's kinda like it never stops. Making an album, it's important to have songs that melodically make people not forget them, but also inspire you to sing along."

What We Ain't Got Lyrics

We all want What We Ain't Got,
Our favorite doors are always locked.
On a higher hill with a taller top,
We all want what we ain't got.

We ain't happy where we are,
There's greener grass in the neighbors yard.
A bigger house and a faster car,
We ain't happy where we are.

All I want is what I had,
I'll trade it all just to get her back.
She's moving on, but I guess I'm not
We all want what we ain't got

We all wish it didn't hurt,
When you try your best and it doesn't work.
And goodbye's such a painful word,
We all wish it didn't hurt.

All I want is what I had,
I'd trade it all just to get her back.
She's moving on, but I guess I'm not.
We all want what we ain't got.

All I want is what I had,
I'd trade it all just to get her back.
She's moving on, but I guess I'm not.
We all want what we ain't got.

I wanted the world until my whole world stopped,
You know a love like that ain't easily forgot.
I guess we all want what we ain't got.
Yeah, we all want what we ain't got.

What We Ain't Got

This Travis Jerome Goff and Travis Meadows written piano and pedal-steel vocal ballad finds Jake Owen singing about a guy lamenting a lost relationship. He explained to Radio.com why as a happily married man, he can relate to the lyric about a heartbroken lover. "I don't think songs have to be literal in order for listeners to truly relate to them," said Owen. "I've definitely been there before, where I've let someone go that I shouldn't have. And looking back I could probably have been a better person. But where I am in my life right now, I have everything I need. I have a wife that I love, and a beautiful girl [his daughter Pearl]. But I kinda also want to be better dad, I want to be a better husband. And I think that's that same sentiment of wanting more than what you have right now."

Owen released the ballad as the third single from his Days Of Gold album. "It's a big, big step for me to put out a song that's a ballad that has a lot of meaning behind it," he told Radio.com. "It's a deep song that deals on a lot of levels with everyone looking at their own life. We all work so hard day to day, and we want more and more and more. This is a world of wanting more. It's a song about looking at where you are and appreciating what you have, 'cause once it's gone we all want what we don't have."

Co-writer Travis Meadows is a recovering alcoholic and cancer survivor and he originally released the song on his 2011 album Killin' Uncle Buzzy. "My whole world started over with that record," Meadows told Rolling Stone. "Jake has always been very kind to me. After he sang 'What We Ain't Got' on Jimmy Kimmel, he called me soon after. He goes, 'How'd I do, man? Did you like it?' It says a lot about his heart."

Owen said that he was immediately taken by Meadows' honesty on his album and he recorded the piano and steel guitar ballad as he found similarities in his own life. "There's a line that goes 'I wanted the world 'til my whole world stopped,'" Owen said. "I know what he meant by that. I have to be careful to not want too much out of this world and lose my own. Even though I have a lot in my life right now, and I'm thankful for everything, I find myself working really hard every day to attain more and more."

"But yet sometimes by doing that, I disregard the things I already have that are precious to me," he continued. "Whether it's my wife who gets upset sometimes because I'm always on my phone, or it's my twin brother who is like, 'Dude, you never call me back.'"

Owen feels the song is a game-changer for him. "I take a lot of pride in being a pretty good singer, and songs like 'Barefoot Blue Jean Night' and 'Beachin',' where I'm kind of just talking, don't showcase that," he admitted. "For the first time in my career, I feel like it's imperative for me to put out a song that offers some validity."

The song's music video shows various people looking serious and sad before the struggles in their lives are shown. The clip was directed by Mason Dixon, who has helmed all of Jake Owen's visuals since "Tell Me" in 2010. Owen said the credit for the concept deserves to be shared among several people. "It was a group effort on my part, his part and my creative team at the label," the explained. "It's such an important song in my career and one of the greatest songs I've ever recorded, so we put a lot of effort into making the video as good as the song."

Owen told Entertainment Tonight about the video: "It's really hard sometimes to create a visual depiction of something that's so well written as a song, and I've never made a video for a serious song before. It was a lot harder to work on than others. The people in the video are real characters and once you listen to the lyrics and the video together, you'll see it's very real."

The first guy you see is co-writer Travis Meadows. Owen told Billboard magazine: "It was important to have him in there because everything he went through to write the song - from addiction to losing his wife -- you can see it in his face in the video."

Owen contacted Meadows directly on the phone about covering his song. "I told him that the song was so brilliant, and though I had never been addicted to any kind of drugs or been divorced, there was one line in the song: 'I wanted the world until my whole world stopped' - that hit me," he told Billboard. "As a 33-year-old man that is married with a child, I try to balance my life out on the road. I've noticed that my chase of wanting to be better and wanting to win awards sometimes clouds my vision of what is real on a day-to-day basis. Although I might not relate to the song in other ways, that's what hit me."

"I asked him if he minded if I recorded the song, because I really wanted to sing it. I wanted people to hear this side of me," Owen added. "I believe in music like this. It also gives me a chance to be something different than the 'Barefoot Blue Jean Night' guy. I fought hard for it to be a single, because I felt like it was the time in my career to put it out."
