[Verse 1]
How you spin, hit the door, and get myself on down the road
I picked my clothes up off the floor and on the wind I go
Let it blow me where the wild is, thought I was off better
Holding on to nothing, but they're holding me together

[Chorus]
Look at me hangin' around
Hangin' around
Hangin' around (Ooh)
Hangin' around (Ooh)

[Post-Chorus]
Make me sweat, sweat
Breaking out a fever, I get cranky
So hot, hot
Damn hot, shakes it, I get shake, shake

[Verse 3]
I rock to my own rhythm (I rock)
I roll to my own beat (I, I, I roll)
I play the movie villain
Now you got me playing for keeps

[Chorus]
Hangin' around (Ooh)
Hangin' around
Hangin' around (Ooh)
Hangin' around (Ooh)
(Help me)

[Post-Chorus]
Make me sweat, sweat
Breaking out a fever, I get cranky
Get so hot, hot
Damn hot, shake it like you shake, shake

[Verse 5]
Strangest change of places (I rock)
We're just scared today (I, I, I roll)
She's the one holding my aces
And I'm the one holding my breath

[Chorus]
Hangin' around (Ooh, yeah)
Hangin' around (Ooh)
Hangin' around (Ooh, ooh)
Hangin' around (Ooh)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah (Ooh)
(Ooh)

Eric Church is an American country music singer-songwriter from Granite Falls, North Carolina. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a business degree in 2000, Eric became engaged to a Spanish teacher from Lenior, NC whose father attempted to deter his musical aspirations by offering him a corporate career in Denver. After turning down her father’s offer, Church’s ex-fiance broke the engagement, giving Church motivation to move to Nashville and begin focusing solely on his music. Recollections of this turning point in Church’s life are heard throughout his lyrical portfolio (most prominently in “Those I’ve Loved”).

After a period of being overlooked by record labels and producers, Church was eventually signed to Capitol Records in 2006, making his debut with the album, Sinners Like Me. The album produced four singles on the Billboard Country Chart, “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” “Guys Like Me,” and the album’s title track.

His second album, 2009’s Carolina, produced three more “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most,” and “Hell on the Heart.”
