[G#] This next guy we have to invite up tonight is _ such an incredible guy and actually co-wrote
a song with him.
We've written with him over the years, but I co-wrote a song with him and Hillary Lindsey
for Sarah Evans called A Little Bit Stronger.
So it's a guy by the name of Luke Laird.
He's amazing.
He's also written so many songs that have shot straight to number one on the country
charts and other genres and [N]
he's just awesome.
And he, oh, yay! _
He's surprised.
He's so scary looking.
And he sneaks up on you.
I'm kidding.
But _ he's just truly become such a dear friend of ours and has a really fun, amazingly quirky
[E] way with lyrics and_
He does a little thing with a beat box and_
Yeah, I mean, honestly, this song kind of started out, _ I don't know what tempo it was,
but it's basically, this song just kind of started out, we were sitting in the [C#] room
just trying [Bm] to think of something.

_ _ _ _ _ _ And I don't know [E] why you don't take me downtown, like you got anywhere better to be.
[A] Talk it up and give me the go [A] round, round, like I could time tease.
[E] I'm only counting on you for insulation, when I should be counting on you at my door.
[A] Forget about how we've been around.
I don't know why you don't take me downtown anymore. _
_ [F#m] _ [E] _ _ _ _ [C#m] Oh, anymore.
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] I got some platforms sitting in the corner.
They want to stroll on [C#] the city sidewalk.
[A] I got a dress that'll show a little uh-uh, but you ain't [E] getting uh-uh [F#] if you don't come
[B] pick me up.
Come on, girl.
Show me off.
You might be tired.
I [E] don't know why you don't take me downtown, like you got anywhere better to be.

I'm [E] only counting on you for insulation, when I should be counting on you at my door.

_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [C#m] _

[C#m] Yeah, I [E] don't know why you don't take me downtown.

_ _ _ I just don't get it.
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ This is always so much fun. _
See, we weren't able to rehearse a lot of this.
I love it.
It's like some natural, you know, we're kind of fumbling through it all.
Natural screwing up.
Yes.
That's the great thing.
That's why I'm just a songwriter.
No, you didn't screw up, we screwed up.
Well done.
Luke Laird, everybody.
Thank you so much.
