Oklahoma native, Blake Shelton, has named his upcoming album, Texoma Shore, after Lake Texoma, which is located on the Texas-Oklahoma border.
Shelton’s memories of good times at Lake Texoma are the root of the inspiration behind the songs featured on his new album. The country music star points out that his album has a downhome theme and he shines light on his song, “At The House,” in particular.
According to Blake, “At The House” is the one of the primary inspirations to titling the record, Texoma Shore. This past summer, Blake and girlfriend Gwen Stefani spent a week on the lake. He recalls being in the water everyday and concluding each night inside the house, leading to what he considers, “one of the greatest times” of his life. The couple listened to the song, “At The House” while realizing that this summer was going to be an unforgettable one.
Blake doesn’t take credit for the whole album. He had help from many of country-music’s top songwriters in creating his most recent masterpiece. Writers Ben Hayslip, Josh Osborne, Craig Wiseman, Dallas Davidson, Ross Copperman, Rhett Atkins, Ashley Gorey, and more were a part of the work that went into Shelton’s new songs.

“I’ll Name The Dogs” Lyrics
Girl, it’s high time, I tell ya
No more messin’ around
Time to lay these cards on the table
And just throw it on out
I’m talkin’ you and me with the same street name
Same last name, same everything
It’s a real thing, a how I feel thing
So I’mma go on and take a swing
You find the spot and I’ll find the money
You be the pretty and I’ll be the funny
You plant the flowers, I’ll plant the kisses
Baby, let’s get right down to business
I’ll hang the pictures, you hang the stars
You pick the paint, I’ll pick a guitar
Sing you a song out there with the crickets and the frogs
You name the babies and I’ll name the dogs, yeah
You can park your car in the driveway
I’ll park my truck in the grass
I’ll put a little swing on the front porch
If you put a little tea in my glass
Watch the sun set from a gravel road
Kiss me in the kitchen on your tippy toes
Still lovin’ on you when the rooster crows
Watching way more than the garden grow
You find the spot and I’ll find the money
You be the pretty and I’ll be the funny
You plant the flowers, I’ll plant the kisses
Baby, let’s get right down to business
I’ll hang the pictures, you hang the stars
You pick the paint, I’ll pick a guitar
Sing you a song out there with the crickets and the frogs
You name the babies and I’ll name the dogs
Yeah, laying next to you every night
Sounds like a damn good life
You find the spot and I’ll find the money
You be the pretty and I’ll be the funny
You plant the flowers, I’ll plant the kisses
Baby, let’s get right down to business
I’ll hang the pictures, you hang the stars
You pick the paint, I’ll pick a guitar
Sing you a song out there with the crickets and the frogs
You name the babies and I’ll name the dogs
Yeah, I’ll name the dogs
You name the babies and I’ll name the dogs
Yeah, I’ll name the dogs
