- Arkansas
Took a Nine Eleven 'bout a hundred and seven down a back road
Where the white river runs and the southern sun makes the kudzu grow
And what I found in the Ozark mountains I ain't ever seen
It sure does feel like you're sittin' on top of the world to me
Gotta get down, gotta get down to Arkansas
Havin' so much fun that it's probably a little bit against the law
All the boys and the girls down there sure do know how to have a ball
If you wanna get down, gotta get down to Arkansas
- Devil Always Made Me Think Twice
I take a little smoke in the evenin'
I take a little whiskey on ice
I never get behind on killin' my mind
It's just the kind of thing I like
Just the kind of things I like
The minute that I saw you walkin' over
I figured I was diggin' my grave
And you had the shovel, I knew you were trouble
- Hillbilly Blood
Hillbilly blood, runnin' through my veins
Black coal soul and a mountain of pain
Jug of white lightning crossin' my lips
Hillbilly blood don't give a shit
Hillbilly blood, the river runs red
Finger on the trigger and a pound of lead
Chopper in the air, searchin' my land
A copperhead bites and don't give a goddamn
- Joy Of My Life
I tiptoed in the room
I know you got to have your rest
She says, "Come lay beside me
I been waitin' since you left"
She's sweet to me
Must be the luckiest man alive
- Maggie's Song
Let me tell you a story
About an old friend of mine
Somebody left her in a shopping cart
In a parking lot for us to find
Just a fuzzy black pup
She was hungry and feeling alone
We put her in the back seat
Told her we were taking her home
- More of You
When I think of you and the first time we met
And I heard the sound of your sweet gentle voice
My heart took me over and gave me no choice
And right then I knew
[Chorus:]
It makes me want more of you
Again and again
- Outlaw State of Mind
Cut my teeth on Daddy's Old Elgin,
And I lost my mind somewhere in New Mexico,
And t-dub put a snake on my back,
I keep a redbone on my side.
[Chorus:]
And it's people all across the land,
- Parachute
"Parachute"
Street lights along the highway
Throwing shadows in the dark
And the memories keep on turning
To the rhythm of a broken heart
[Chorus:]
- Starting Over
Well the road rolls out like a welcome mat
To a better place than the one we're at
And I ain't got no kinda plan
But I've had all of this town I can stand
And I got friends out on the coast
We can jump in the water and see what floats
We've been saving for a rainy day
Let's beat the storm and be on our way
- Tennessee Whiskey
[Verse 1]
I used to spend my nights out in a barroom
Liquor was the only love I’ve known
But you rescued me from reachin' for the bottle
And brought me back from being too far gone
[Chorus]
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
- The Devil Named Music
We drove all night to Billings, Montana
Flew into Utah, slept there all day
I can’t remember stopping in Denver
Yeah, I live my illusion that somebody needs me to play
Sometimes I’m drunk
Sometimes I’m stoned
And yes, I get tired of being alone
- Traveller
I see the sunrise creeping in
Everything changes like the desert wind
Here she comes and then she’s gone again
[Chorus:]
I’m just a traveller on this earth
Sure as my heart’s behind the pocket of my shirt
I’ll just keep rolling till I’m in the dirt
- What Are You Listening To
(Verse)
I put that record on
Girl you know what song
And I let it play again and again
Holding every line
Take me back in time
Yeah tonight I'm wondering
- When I'm With You
I'm forty years old
And it looks like the end of the rainbow
Ain't no pot of gold
The things that I've done
I doubt anyone will remember
After I'm gone
The places I've been
There's some I'd go back to
- Whiskey and You
There's a bottle on the dresser by your ring
And it's empty so right now I don't feel a thing
I'll be hurtin' when I wake up on the floor
And I'll be over it by noon
And that's the difference between the whiskey and you
Come tomorrow I can walk in any store
It ain't a problem yeah they'll always sell me more
- Whiskey And You - NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
There’s a bottle on the dresser by your ring
And it’s empty so right now I don’t feel a thing
And I’ll be hurting when I wake up on the floor
But I’ll be over it by noon
That’s the difference between whiskey and you
Come tomorrow, I can walk in any store
It ain’t a problem, they’ll always sell me more
But your forgiveness
- Whiskey Sunrise
There's a tear in the mud on the banks of the river
And the sound of a lover's goodbye
And a pain in my heart 'cause I could not forgive her
That's as deep as the river is wide
I'm lost and I'm lonesome when I look in the mirror
I don't like the man that I see
And the more that I look, the more it gets clearer
Pride made a fool out of me
- You Should Probably Leave
I know it ain't all that late
But you should probably leave
And I recognize that look in your eyes
Yeah, you should probably leave
'Cause I know you and you know me
And we both know where this is gonna lead
You want me to say that I want you to stay
So you should probably leave
