Life of the Party - Lyrics - Jake Owen

Joshua Ryan "Jake" Owen is an American country music artist. Signed to RCA Nashville in 2006, he released his debut album Startin' with Me that year. This album produced three singles, all of which reached Top 20 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart: his debut single "Yee Haw", "Startin' with Me", and "Something About a Woman". A second album, 2009's Easy Does It, has accounted for three more singles: "Don't Think I Can't Love You", "Eight Second Ride", and "Tell Me". In September 2011, Owen achieved his first number-one hit on the country charts with the title track to his third album Barefoot Blue Jean Night, as did with "Alone with You", "The One That Got Away", and "Anywhere with You". His fourth album, Days of Gold produced two singles with its title track, which broke the Top 20 in 2014, and the number one single "Beachin'".

Swear I was gonna tell em the truth That was til everybody started asking 'bout you And I didn’t know what to say Came up with some lame excuse Why you were gone Said you were gonna come later on Planted a smile on my face Like everything was okay I was hanging around, walk in the crowd Everybody singing along to my songs Taking my shots, throwing them back Acting like you ain’t gone But I don’t want em to know I’m all alone And I ain’t got nobody I don’t want em to see you died inside So I guess I’ll be the life Life of the party And then one of your friends Came up and gave me a hug and asked me how we’ve been I smiled and said we’re better than we’ve ever been Well I don’t know why I had to lie Guess I didn’t wanna tell er that you said goodbye I couldn’t even look er in the eye So I kept on… Hanging around, walk in the crowd Everybody singing along to my songs Taking my shots, throwing them back Acting like you ain’t gone But I don’t want em to know I’m all alone And I ain’t got nobody I don’t want em to see you died inside So I guess I’ll be the life Life of the party Everybody thinkin I’m feelin good Everybody thinkin I’m havin a real good time Don’t know the truth about you and I So I’m hanging around, walk in the crowd Everybody singing along to my songs Taking my shots, throwing them back Acting like you ain’t gone But I don’t want em to know I’m all alone And I ain’t got nobody I don’t want em to see you died inside So I guess I’ll be the life Life of the party Life of the party Life of the party So I guess I’ll be the life Life of the party Swear I was gonna tell em the truth But I didn’t know what to say
