Songs You Never Heard Lyrics
I heard "Run" on the radio, yesterday
Got me thinking 'bout, how much you love George Strait
But by the time the airwaves ever played that song
You were already gone, you were already home
[Pre-Chorus]
And there ain't no one that sounds like Whitley
But I'd bet you find something you'd sing with me
We weren't just
[Chorus]
Killing time singing "Killin' Time"
It was the soundtrack of our lives
Chasing girls and growing up
A lot about living, a little 'bout love
Time marches on, there's a lot of new
Music and memories we'd be drinking to
I think about it and I laugh until it hurts
'Cause I can hear you singing along
To songs you never heard
[Verse 2]
Everything sounded better with the windows down
In your Silverado, rolling 'round that two lane town
Now there's a few more ball caps, a few less cowboy hats
But we're still singing 'bout dirt roads
I think you'd be okay with that
And I'm thinking about the way you would've acted
The first time you ever heard "In Color"
Man, it makes me wanna go back
When we were just
[Chorus]
Killing time singing "Killin' Time"
It was the soundtrack of our lives
Chasing girls and growing up
A lot about living, a little 'bout love
Time marches on, there's a lot of new
Music and memories we'd be drinking to
I think about it and I laugh until it hurts
'Cause I can hear you singing along
To songs you never heard
[Bridge]
You'd be a little off key
Out on the road with me
High fiving my whole band
Mama claims it but we all know
You'd be my number one fan
And we'd be
[Chorus]
Killing time singing "Killin' Time"
It was the soundtrack of our lives
Chasing girls and growing up
A lot about living, a little 'bout love
Time marches on, there's a lot of new
Music and memories we'd be drinking to
I think about it and I laugh until it hurts
'Cause I can hear you singing along
To songs you never heard
To songs you never heard

Luke and Josh were staying on my bus and they were watching some of the early edits of My Dirt Road Diary. So they were learning about all of these things. We need to write a song that talks about my brother not being here, but how he would react. When you look at the amazing country songs that have come out since he passed away, I had a vision.
I could imagine, if he were still alive when George Strait put ‘Run’ out, he and I would flock and freak out and listen to ‘Run’ in his truck a thousand times. We just built the song around that idea that when he was alive, when a new Alan Jackson song came out, we would be waiting for it. That’s what you did back then, you really, really anticipated your heroes' new songs coming out.
