Lyrics:
I’ve seen the northern lights
The British countryside
Every single southern college town
Sat with important men
And felt like one of them
Stood at Cypress in between the clouds
Thought I'd seen all there is to see

Spent all this time chasing my dreams
But none of them came true till you were here with me
It’s a wonderful world filled with fabulous things
I'd trade it all away to have you here with me
It’s a wonderful world
It’s a wonderful world

I’ve taken medicine
I bought an ottoman
I got a bigger house with bigger trees
I'm getting better at not blaming mom and dad
I'm trying to figure out what it all means
I thought that I'd done all the right things

I spent all this time building a dream
But none of it came true till you were here with me
It’s a wonderful world filled with fabulous things
I'd trade it all away to have you here with me
It's a wonderful world
It's a wonderful world
It's a wonderful world
It's a wonderful world

I spent all this time chasing a dream
But none of it was true until you were here with me
It’s a wonderful world filled with fabulous things
I'd trade them all away to have you here with me

I'd trade them all away to have you here with me

Ben Rector - What Makes A Man with Thomas Rhett (Official Audio)

Ben Rector 2022-08-05 | Listen to the official audio for Ben Rector’s song “What Makes A Man” with @thomasrhettmusic

“I immediately thought of Thomas Rhett when ‘What Makes A Man’ was finished. A big part of this record for me was wanting to do things that were exciting and enjoyable, and having Thomas on this song felt like both.

I’m honored he agreed to sing on it and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Stay tuned for a deluxe version of ‘The Joy of Music’ (including this song), later this year.”

Lyrics:

Well my father
He'll never see his name in lights
Worked at a desk his whole damn life
Didn’t chase his dream gave himself
So me and my sisters would be all right

Sometimes I wonder
What they'll say of me when I am gone
When my daughter’s living on and
Will she care if strangers thought that I was famous
Or just that I was never home

Is it the things you’ve done the places that you've been
Chasing down some dream you’ve been imagining
Or is it making peace with who you are and where you stand
I’m trying to find what makes a man
Woah oh what makes a man

If I'm honest
I am plagued by the fear that I am not enough
So I work hard to measure up
Spent a million miles under mountains high
And felt the same when I was done

Is it the things you’ve done the places that you've been
Chasing down some dream you’ve been imagining
Or is it making peace with who you are and where you stand
I’m trying to find what makes a man

Is it power
Is it fame
Is it money
Is it just a game
Is it always wanting more
Or is it finding peace in what you had all along

Is it the things you’ve done the places that you've been
Chasing down some dream you’ve been imagining
Or is it making peace with who you are and where you stand
I'm trying to find what makes a man

I've been trying to find
What makes a man
I've been trying to find
What makes a man

What makes a man
I've been trying to find
What makes a man

Lyrics:
I miss when I had superpowers
My imagination was my friend and it ran wild and free
I could waste a couple hours
Without a worry in the world staring at stars out on my trampoline, yeah

I miss when Andy McAuthur was the fastest kid there was and kid there was ever gonna be
Ken Griffey Jr. was a giant before parents got divorced and I learned that there was gravity

I miss my old heroes
I had to give them all away
I miss my old heroes yeah yeah
God I wish they could’ve stayed
Cause it turns out that the hardest part of growing up's not getting old
It's learning how the real world goes
I miss my old
I miss my old

I miss my Bible study leader
Had all the answers for living in the big bad world
Don’t know if he still talks to Jesus
But his wife's remarried now and I think he sells garage doors

I miss when I thought chasing dreams was
Holy magic behind curtains in a sacred place
Before it was managers and lawyers
Who colored up and cashed them out
For vacation homes in coastal states

I miss my old heroes
I had to give them all away
I miss my old heroes yeah yeah
God I wish they could’ve stayed
Cause it turns out that the hardest part of growing up’s not getting old
It's learning how the real world goes
I miss my old
I miss my old
I miss my old heroes

I miss my old heroes

I miss back when the world was small and we had all the answers
I miss how it was when we were young
I miss back before I understood all the ways that life would break your heart
Before I knew that's what they called growing up

I miss my old heroes
I had to give them all away
I miss my old heroes yeah yeah
God I wish they could’ve stayed
Cause it turns out that the hardest part of growing up’s not just getting old
It's learning how the real world goes
I miss my old
I miss my old
I miss my old heroes
I miss my old heroes

Lyrics:
One, two
Yup

When it’s the end of the weekend
But not quite the end of the weekend
Check it out
It is what it is
You got me feelin’

You make me feel like I’m in all my best clothes
So good that I don’t care that Chick-Fil-A’s closed
Like a slow motion cruise on the backroads and byways
Windows down and avoidin’ the highways

Nothin’ else that I wanna do
But take all day and waste it with you

You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday
You got me sayin’ hallelujah, singin’ praise
You got me feelin’ like the night is gone
And the sun is here to stay

Wo-ooh

You got me feelin’ like the weekend
You give me somethin’ to believe in
When I’m swimmin’ in the deep end
Sky is baby blue, and my blues are gone away
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday

And maybe we should make some breakfast
We got lots of time that seems like a good investment
It’s the end of the week and I make a mean quiche
Maybe all of our friends should come over to eat

Nothin’ else that I wanna do
But take all of my time and waste it with you

You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday
You got me sayin’ hallelujah, singin’ praise
You got me feelin’ like the night is gone
And the sun is here to stay

Wo-ooh

You got me feelin’ like the weekend
You give me somethin’ to believe in
When I’m swimmin’ in the deep end
Sky is baby blue, and my blues are gone away
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la

You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la

You got me feelin’ like Chick-Fil-A was open on a Sunday
(Snoop, I know, we tried, it was closed, wouldn’t that be great)
Check it out
This a hit
You can tell radio
All the DJs will play it
Cause we got that hustle, that flow
I’m feelin’ good
Feelin’ fresh
Feelin’ blessed
Little stressed

And when I’m with you I feel that joy inside my chest

What you feel
Just depends on what you see
But just don’t take it from me
I’m just the D O double G

You got me feelin’ like a Sunday (Ohh)
You got me sayin’ hallelujah, singin’ praise (singing praise)
You got me feelin’ like the night is gone
And the sun is here to stay

Wo-ooh

You got me feelin’ like the weekend (got me feelin’ like the weekend)
You give me somethin’ to believe in (give me somethin’ to believe in)
When I’m swimmin’ in the deep end
Skies are baby blue, and my blues are gone away
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday

Sunday

You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday

Skies are blue and the clouds have gone away

You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday

Music produced by Ben Rector
Mixed by Buckley Miller

Lyrics:

They say that opposites attract
Don’t know it for a fact
I’m here to tell you it’s the truth

Cause you were open, I was closed
Diametrically opposed
I guess we’re the livin’ proof

Don’t know who writes all these down
Mulls them over, thinks ‘em out
All the wisdom that they bring
Cause I used to think that they were trite
It turns out they’re mostly right
There’s a reason they’re a thing

Say these adages like warnings
If they turn out to be true
Cause the more of life I’m livin’ next to you
These days
Cliches

If you’re the apple, I’m the tree
But don’t fall too close to me
You’re already twice the human that I’ll ever be
They say grown men shouldn’t cry
But I’ve had somethin’ in my eye
Since you turned us two to three

The more and more I’m learnin’
These aren’t exceptions, they’re the rule
That the more of life I’m livin’ next to you
These days
Are cliches

Cliches

We’ve all heard that time can fly
In the blinking of an eye
This one feels a bit too real

And if all good things come to an end
And I can’t take this ride again
I will tell you how I feel

You will hear me in the ocean
You will see me in the moon

But don’t mistake these messages to you

For cliches

Cliches

Lyrics:

“Are you okay if I just sing this song real quick?”
“Yeah, like loud”
“I sing generally pretty loud”
“Sing loud again”
“Ok, here we go”

Lately I've been going through changes
I've been doing a little light rearranging
Blew up my whole life I'm not complaining
Just thought I'd start with some honesty

I used to only be concerned with my career getting bigger
I started zooming out and seeing big pictures
I started focusing on my father figure and I see things a little differently

Cause I got a daughter now
The most perfect tiny human
I got a daughter now
No idea what I'm doing
But the way that she smiles and the way that she laughs
Gives me some kind of peace like I never had
I guess I see what all the fuss is about
Cause I got a daughter
I got a daughter now

And if I'm honest I love it
I wear dumb clothes now and I'm like what of it
There are innumerable things that I'm no longer above
That’s more than fine with me, yeah

If that jar is stuck hand it here I can handle it
If that knee's scraped baby I can examine it
Judge me till you walk a mile in my socks and my sandals, kid

Cause I got a daughter now
And she is everything to me
I got a daughter now
And suddenly I cry in movies
And the way that she smiles and the way that she laughs
Gives me some kind of peace like I never had
Guess I see what all the big whoop is about
Cause I got a daughter
I got a daughter now

Yeah, I got a daughter now

Like I said I started making some changes
I said no to some radio stations
I made some time for some family vacations
Cause that's who I wanna be
Cause my biggest fan doesn’t care if I'm famous
Even though the people know what my name is
Yeah like I said I started making some changes
To be who I want to be

Cause I got a daughter now
And she is everything to me
I got a daughter now
And no idea what I'm doing
But the way that she smiles and the way that she laughs
Gives me some kind of peace like I never have had
I guess I see a bit different than now, oh yeah
I guess I understand what all the fuss is about
Cause I got a daughter
I got a daughter now

I got a daughter now

Lyrics:

Feels like everyone I know is suddenly a TV show
Living in some gossip magazine
Lately I’ve tried but I can’t find it in my heart to chase those lights
Does that mean something’s wrong with me?

Cause I’ve been kinda hanging out
Living some life you don't write songs about
Yeah took a break from moving mountains
Yeah I’m finally slowing down some
No moving, no shaking
Been fine with just hanging out

Lately I’ve been going for runs
And watching my daughter eat her lunch
Listening through the Beatles catalogue
What does it mean to catch your dreams if you can’t sit alone
And think without your thoughts all going wrong

So I’ve been kinda hanging out
Living some life you don’t write songs about
Like you remember in that story how
Jules Verne went 20K leagues down
That’s how low I’ve been laying
Just kinda been hanging out
I've been kinda hanging out
Just been kinda
Just been kinda hanging out
Oooh I’ve been kinda hanging out

I just realized I’ve spent my whole life
Thinking I was nothing if I wasn’t doing everything just right
For the first time since I’ve been a kid
When I close my eyes
I can sleep at night

I’ve been kinda hanging out
Got new ideas about the good life now
Yeah took a break from moving mountains
Yeah I’m finally slowing down some
No moving no shaking
Just kinda been hanging
No moving no shaking
Been fine with just hanging out

(Feeling good, feeling right
Every day, every night
I got joy in my life
In my life)

I used to wake up feeling real stressed
Now I wake up feeling real blessed
I’m in the sunshine and living my best
Life

There for a minute I was feeling real rough
Until I saw that what I had was enough
I didn’t know that I could love it this much

But I’m

Feeling good, feeling right
Every day, every night
Cause I got joy in my life
In my life

Yeah

Say farewell, say goodbye
To my worries and strife
Cause I got joy in my life
In my life

Sing it with me now:
Joy
Baby, baby I got Joy

When the rain falls
When the sun shines
When the winds change
In a hard time
I will stand firm
I’ll be alright
Cause I got joy
In my life

When the rain falls
When the sun shines
When the winds change
In a hard time
I will stand firm
I’ll be alright
Cause I got joy
In my life

Feeling good, feeling right

There’s a list of people I’d like to thank coming up. If you could stick around for that, stick around. If you’ve got somewhere to be, no sweat, just know that I really appreciate you tuning in and making this album a small part of your life.

I’d like to thank John Fields for being my partner in crime. For his patience as I changed things a decibel at a time again and again, only to go back to what we had originally. Thanks John. You’re the best.

To my wife Hillary, for your support as I came out here almost every day for a year and a half to chase down this record. So glad I get to do life with you, and you’re the best.
To my daughter Jane, for making me excited to wake up every morning to see what you’re gonna say and do.

To my twins, Roy and Robert, for being just an absolute handful, but for being pretty sweet most of the time.

I wanna thank Snoop Dogg, which is a sentence I never thought I’d say, for rapping on “Sunday,” and for being cool about it when I edited out your reference to National Blunt Day.

Thanks to Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes for making my hipster musician friends think I’m just a little bit cooler than I am.

To Kenny G for cred with my dad.

And to Dave Koz for ripping what is potentially the best saxophone solo I’ve ever heard in my life on “Supernatural.”

Thanks to all the other writers, players, just collaborators in general who lended your talents to the record. It is better because of it, and I am grateful to work with you.

Well guys, we did it. Until I see you next time, this is Ben Rector, signing off, telling you to please be joyful.

Thanks for the sunrise
Thanks for the night sky
Thanks for the deepest blue
In my daughter's eyes
And thanks for the weekend
Thanks for a good friend
Thanks for “In the High Life Again”
Makes me feel alive

It’s been too long since we sat down and talked this way
But life is hard sometimes I don’t know what to say
So thank you (thank you)
Thank you (thank you)
Thank you (thank you)
Oooh for you have been good to me (you have been good)
You have been good (have been good)
Oh you have been good to me (you have been good)
You are always good

I miss how the world seemed
Back when I was nineteen
Or I just miss havin’ things
All figured out
Cause I got these doubts and
I got these questions
They got me wonderin’
I bet you’ll sort it out

It’s been too long since we’ve sat down and talked this way
But life is hard sometimes I don’t know what to say
There are times when it just doesn’t make no sense
But you have been good to me, you have been good to me
Time and again

So thank you (thank you)
Thank you (thank you)
Thank you (thank you)
Wooah for you have been good to me

For you have been good to me
You have been good
Singin,’ thank you (thank you)

Thank you (thank you)
Oooh for you have been good to me (you have been good)
You have been good (you have been good)
Oh you have been good to me (you have been good)
You are always good

Come on sing it out, sing it loud
Sing it together
Come on sing it out, sing it loud
So we can remember
Come on sing it out, sing it loud
So we can remember
So I can remember
So I can remember
Come on sing it out, sing it loud
Sing it together
Come on sing it out, sing it loud
So we can remember
Come on sing it out, sing it loud

Lyrics:

I spoke to myself last night in a dream
I was about twenty-one
It was the craziest thing
And I went to a party with all of my friends
And it brought tears to my eyes
To see us together again

And I tried to tell them the way that things change
They wouldn’t listen to me
They all started walking away
So I sung them a song of the beauty of youth
And I brought the rhythmic back in and I told them the truth

I couldn’t tell you where this road will lead
If it winds or how it ends
But this is as alive as we will ever be
Cause we will never be this young again

So

Here’s to livin’ while we’re alive
Don’t slow down, don’t close your eyes
Just raise your glass and breathe it in
Cause we will never be this young again

(Oh yeah yeah)
(Never be this young again)

I woke up in my room and I shot out of bed
And there was a vision of me at 75 in my head
He smiled and said, “Boy you’re still in your youth”
Then he sat down and played me this song
Same as I’m singin’ to you

I couldn’t tell you where this road will lead
If it winds or how it ends
But this is alive as we will ever be
We will never be this young again

So

Here’s to livin’ while we’re alive
Don’t slow down, don’t close your eyes
Just raise your glass and breathe it in
Cause we will never be this young again

Ride the night like a roller coaster
Like the nights back in Oklahoma
Just a sip of the sweet cherry cola
To the stars
Supernova
This is young as we’ll ever be
So let’s be young and free
Come make a memory

Oh yeah

I say everybody gather round
We’re goin’ out tonight
Gonna paint the town
And if we get too deep
We can reel it in
Because we will never be this young again

We will never be, never be this young again

(Never be, never be, never be this young again)

Lyrics:

I was staring at a photograph
Must have been fifteen years back
Can’t believe we dressed like that
Feels like yesterday

Funny how we used to all pretend
We'd never become our parent’s friends
But seasons change and summer ends
It just fades away

Yeah you can’t stay young forever
You can’t keep from growing up
But when your heart gets tired of living on the run
My God you should find you some
Steady love
Steady love
By God you should find you some

It’s as old ancient history
People quit being young and keep trying to be
None of that makes sense to me the way it did back then

Cause everybody's chasing endless nights
Open roads and neon light
Yeah you could walk a million miles
But it's footsteps in the sand

Cause you can’t stay young forever yeah
You can’t keep from growing up
But when your heart gets tired of living on the run
My God you should find you some yeah
Steady love
Steady love
By God you should you find you some
Steady love
Steady love
By God you should you find you some

Might not always be wild and free
But more and more that’s alright with me
Truth is we were made to be in steady love
Steady love
By God you should find you some

Some steady love
Oh oh oh
Steady love
Oh oh oh oh

My God you should find you some
(Steady love)

Lyrics:

This house is now a litany
Things I thought I'd never be
A man who has opinions on an ottoman among other things
I used to think I'd miss the road
The crushing fame and sold out shows
I just sing head, shoulders, knees and toes
Like I'd forgotten 'em

But I'm alive and
Baby, I'm thriving
Oh yeah

I'm living my best life
I wake up with the sunrise
It does not look a thing like I thought that it would
I've been getting my steps in
And I sleep with my best friend
It's the best that it has been in a long time
I'm living my best life (living my best life)
Yeah, yeah, living my best life, yeah (living my best life)

Sometimes it sucks to tell the truth
And I took it hard like people do
But I'm learning how to eat the fruit that is in season
Never thought I'd be a grown ass man
But you know what they say of best laid plans
Now I'm holding on to my daughter's hand
I've got a reason

To be alive and
Oh yeah
Baby, I'm thriving
Yeah, yeah

I'm living my best life
I wake up with the sunrise
It does not look a thing like I thought that it would
But I've been getting my steps in

It's the best that it has been in a long time
I'm living my best life (living my best life)
Yeah, living my best life, yeah (living my best life)

Come on
I'm living my best life
The best that I can
No more worry or stress life
'Cause I'm done with them
I'm as light as can be
I'm as fresh as a breeze
Right where I wanna be so

If you need to find me
I'll be living my best life
Waking up with the sunrise
Looking at things like what the actual hell
But I've been counting my blessings
And I sleep with my bestfriend
It's the best that it has been for a long time
It's the best that it had been for a long time
I'm living my best life (living my best life)
Yeah, yeah, living my best life, ooh (living my best life)

Lyrics:

It can be hard to believe in miracles
Hard to trust in things that are a mystery
To forget that there is magic in the world
That there is more than just what we can touch and see

When you came around I heard the sound of angels singing

Now for the very first time I believe I can fly
Head to toe I'm electrified
I can feel it
I believe it
I am seeing
Something supernatural
Every time I look in your eyes
I understand that God is alive
I can feel
I believe it
I am seeing yeah
Something supernatural
Supernatural, supernatural, supernatural
Supernatural, supernatural, supernatural

It can be hard to remember who we are
That we are beautiful
That we are holy things
That the pen that wrote the moon and sun and stars
Wrote a symphony inside of you and me

So when you come around I hear the sound of angels singing

Now for the very first time I believe I can fly
Head to toe I'm electrified
I can feel it
I believe it
I am seeing
Something supernatural
Every time I look in your eyes
For I understand that God is alive
I can feel
I believe it

Lyrics:

Do you ever get scared
Do you ever get sad
Did you forget the childhood dreams that you had
Hoped it’d be better but things turned out bad and all went wrong

You don’t have to climb mountains or walk on the moon
To fill up your heart like a great big balloon
If you can't sleep at night just remember this tune
and sing along

Dream on
Dream on
Even when you’re afraid all your dreams may be gone
Just dream on
Dream on
When the world says you’re crazy just tell them they’re wrong and dream on

When I was younger I played make believe
Now when I close my eyes I just fall asleep
If you live long enough life will make you believe that they're gone

Dream on
Dream on
Even when you’re afraid all your dreams may be gone
Just dream on
Dream on
When the world says you’re crazy just tell them they’re wrong and dream on

Dream on
Dream on
To infinity and far beyond
Maybe they’ll take you fabulous places
Maybe you’ll wake up right where you belong

Dream on
Dream on
Even when you’re afraid all your dreams may be gone
Just dream on
Dream on
When the world says you’re crazy just tell them they’re wrong
When the world says you’re crazy just tell them they’re wrong and dream on

Produced by: Shuttershot Productions / @shuttershot

Lyrics:
It's been the kind of year I'd be fine if I forgot, yeah
But I’ll never forget it as long as I live and that’s saying a lot
The wildest menagerie of unfortunate crazy things and now it's all over

So raise up your glass here’s to brand new beginnings
And don't shed a tear for the things that are ending
Cause tomorrow will bring us a new morning sun
My friends I believe that the best is yet to come

So I guess now there's proof that all good things must come to an end, yeah
And I couldn't tell you what comes next, but I do know that we'll never ever be standing here again
So here's to the memories, here's to everything that's yet to be
I can't believe that it’s over

So raise up your glass here’s to brand new beginnings
And leave in the past all the things that are ending
Cause tomorrow will bring us a new morning sun
My friends I believe that the best is yet to come
Oh the best is yet to come

Every ending is a new beginning
A new beginning
A new beginning

So raise up your glass here’s to brand new beginnings
And leave in the past all the things that are ending
Cause tomorrow will bring us a new morning sun
Love I believe that the best
And love I believe that the best
Oh love I believe that the best is yet to come

raise up your glass here’s to brand new beginnings
And leave in the past all the things that are ending
Cause tomorrow will bring us a new morning sun
Love I believe that the best (ooooh)
And love I believe that the best
Oh love I believe that the best is yet to come
