Whiskey Me Away

I've been up to Telluride
So close to the sky, felt like I could touch it
I've been in a gold shore sand
Drinking rum-runners out of a bucket
But today I'm in this long-lost highway town
Killing time when you sat down
We had a couple rounds
And I'm liking where we're headed now

Throwing quarters down that jukebox
Play some old-school Alabama
You got the lonely I brought in here
Almost gone without a trace
I know I've had a few, yeah, but I'm buzzing on you
You're a hangover I'd love to wake up to
So come on, baby, whiskey me away
Come on, baby, whiskey me away

Bartender left that bottle right here
So let's keep on working on it
Telling some stories, how where we went wrong
Got us right here, lost in a moment
Yeah, let's make it last, make up a slow dance
To Tennessee River and Mountain Man

Throwing quarters down that jukebox
Play some old-school Alabama
You got the lonely I brought in here
Almost gone without a trace
I know I've had a few, yeah, but I'm buzzing on you
You're a hangover I'd love to wake up to
So come on, baby, whiskey me away

Lucky me, you came through this long-lost highway town
Don't know where I'm heading now, but for now

Let's throw some quarters down that jukebox
Play some old-school Alabama
You got the lonely I brought in here
Almost gone without a trace
I know I've had a few, yeah, but I'm buzzing on you
You're a hangover I'd love to wake up to
So come on, baby, whiskey me away
Come on, baby, whiskey me away

Trouble With A Heartbreak

The trouble with a heartbreak (heartbreak)
(Heartbreak)

Don't let anybody tell ya it's gonna be easy ('cause it ain't easy, no)
Don't let anyone tell ya they know what it's like, mm
When they say, "Get out on this town, meet somebody new
Get lost in the crowd", all I see is you
Don't let anybody tell ya it's gonna be easy

And that's the trouble with a heartbreak
It's gonna hang around
Leave you midnight breakin' down, wonderin' how
Long that it's gonna take gettin' over her
It's a can't drown whiskey down kinda hurt
Yeah, you can burn them four wheels up on that road
But there ain't nowhere her memory can't go
That's the trouble with a heartbreak
Yeah, that's the trouble with a heartbreak, a heartbreak, yeah

(Heartbreak, heartbreak)
(Heartbreak)

Think about where she is, who she's drivin' crazy (drivin' me crazy, yeah)
Can't see a rearview sunset without thinkin' 'bout us
Girl, I still think about us

And that's the trouble with a heartbreak
It's gonna hang around
Leave you midnight breakin' down, wonderin' how
Long that it's gonna take gettin' over her
It's a can't drown whiskey down kinda hurt
Yeah, you can burn them four wheels up on that road
But there ain't nowhere her memory can't go
That's the trouble with a heartbreak
Yeah, that's the trouble with a heartbreak, a heartbreak, yeah

Oh yeah
That's the trouble with a heartbreak

Get out on this town, meet somebody new (meet somebody)
(Get out on this town)
Get lost in a crowd, all I see is you (you)

And that's the trouble with a heartbreak
It's gonna hang around
Leave you midnight breakin' down, wonderin' how
Long that it's gonna take gettin' over her
It's a can't drown whiskey down kinda hurt
Yeah, you can burn them four wheels up on that road
But there ain't nowhere her memory can't go
That's the trouble with a heartbreak
Yeah, that's the trouble with a heartbreak, a heartbreak, yeah

(Heartbreak, heartbreak) oh yeah
That's the trouble with a heartbreak, oh yeah

The State I'm In

I've been living in the neon smoke
Drowning in the whiskey coke
Ever since she got gone
I don't know what to do, or where to go

Been laying low, dodging all her friends
'Cause I don't wanna know who she's with
I don't wanna lie to them, 'bout how I am and where I been

I been kicked back in the sand on an Alabama beach
Shut down every bar on Bourbon Street
Colorado on a cloud 9 high
But I'm back in town just for the night
I been out in Nevada, put it all on black
Me and these boots been all over the map
So if she's asking how I been
Just tell her that's the state I'm in

It ain't like me to make stuff up
But damn it's sure been tough
I ain't asking much
But if you run into her
And my name comes up

I been kicked back in the sand on an Alabama beach
Shut down every bar on Bourbon Street
Colorado on a cloud 9 high
But I'm back in town just for the night
I been out in Nevada, put it all on black
Me and these boots been all over the map
So if she's asking how I been
Just tell her that's the state I'm in
Just tell her that's the state I'm in

No, I ain't asking much
But if you run into her
And my name comes up

I've been moving on better than you've ever seen
Nah, her memory, it don't get to me, it don't get to me
'Cause I've been

Kicked back in the sand on an Alabama beach
Shut down every bar on Bourbon Street
Colorado on a cloud 9 high
But I'm back in town just for the night
I been out in Nevada, put it all on black
Me and these boots been all over the map
So if she's asking how I been
Just tell her that's the state I'm in
Just tell her that's the state I'm in

Midnight And Missin' You

I hear the whiskey like it's callin' me
One shot I got at forgettin' you
'Cause I keep runnin' to your memory
Around midnight and missin' you, yeah

I don't wanna see another sunset
Goin' down without you tonight
Cuts through me like a cold wind blowin' up the dust
Of a bad goodbye

I can feel it comin' (I can feel it comin')
I can feel it comin', comin' on right now
Baby, I can feel it comin'
There's only one thing I know that's gonna slow it down

I hear the whiskey like it's callin' me
One shot I got at forgettin' you
'Cause I keep runnin' to your memory
Around midnight and missin' you, yeah

I'm good to go when I wake up
When I clock in another day
But when the town shuts down and the lights go out
That's when it's time to drink you away

I hear the whiskey like it's callin' me
One shot I got at forgettin' you
'Cause I keep runnin' to your memory
Around midnight and missin' you, yeah

Oh oh, oh

Around midnight and missin' you

I can feel it comin' (I can feel it comin')
I can feel it comin', comin' on right now
Baby, I can feel it comin', mm (mm, right now)
So go ahead and set the bottle down

I hear the whiskey like it's callin' me (oh)
One shot I got at forgettin' you
'Cause I keep runnin' to your memory (oh)
Around midnight and missin you

I been fightin', tryin' to find a way to let you go
(Tryin' to find a way to let you go)
But I keep doin' what I gotta do (doin' what I gotta do)
'Cause I keep runnin' to your memory
Girl, around midnight and missin' you, yeah
(Girl, around midnight and missin' you, yeah)

I hear the whiskey like it's callin' me, callin' me
Mm, callin' me

Ain't Enough Cowboy

(Cowboy in me)
We cuss, we fight, get fed up all night long
Every time we wake up, it's the same old song
I got good at sayin' sorry
But we never really mean we're sorry
You'd think by now, that I'd be gone

But there ain't enough cowboy in me
To slip up out of these sheets
Ride off in the sunset to a bar right down the street
Don't pick up when you call, leave it in the dust
Say to hell with it all, but, girl, there ain't enough
Cowboy in me
(Cowboy in me, yeah)

Baby, why you gotta love and look so good?
Make it hard for a man to do what he knows he should
Break up 'stead of make up sex
Hell no 'stead of sayin' yes
Damn, girl, you know I wish I could

But there ain't enough cowboy in me
To slip up out of these sheets
Ride off in the sunset to a bar right down the street
Don't pick up when you call, leave it in the dust
Say to hell with it all, but, girl, there ain't enough
Cowboy in me
(Cowboy in me, yeah)

Oughta take this Chevy down a "don't come back" road
Let it all go, you already know

That there ain't enough cowboy in me
To slip up out of these sheets
Ride off in the sunset to a bar right down the street
Don't pick up when you call, leave it in the dust
Say to hell with it all, but, girl, there ain't enough
Cowboy in me
Cowboy in me, yeah
Cowboy in me
Cowboy in me, yeah
Cowboy in me

God Made Airplanes

If I hang around for one more round
I'm gonna call her up
I should leave right now, head outta this town
But I don't trust my truck

'Cause there's a highway shoulder you can cry on
A two lane you can change your mind on
When a bottle and a Silverado ain't fast enough

That's why God made airplanes
And runways and half priced ticket one ways
If I can get high up off the ground
Ain't got the wheel, can't turn around
Show me a place without her in it
I'll be there in a New York minute
'Cause if I'm driving I might hit the brakes
That's why God made airplanes
That's why God made airplanes

No, I don't need a window seat, man, they're all the same
As long as where I'm going no one knows my name
I'm gettin' on a red eye night-stop I'm gettin' gone, yeah

That's why God made airplanes
And runways and half priced ticket one ways
If I can get high up off the ground
Ain't got the wheel, can't turn around
Show me a place without her in it
I'll be there in a New York minute
'Cause if I'm driving I might hit the brakes
That's why God made airplanes

There ain't a highway shoulder you can cry on
A two lane you can change your mind on

Oh no
That's why God made airplanes
Oh, yeah

Show me a place without her in it
I'll be there in a New York minute
'Cause if I'm driving I might hit the brakes
Yeah, when it's goodbye and you can't walk away
That's why God made airplanes
That's why God made airplanes

My Weakness

I'd be flyin' down a dead-end road
A highway without a home
If she wasn't my weakness
If she wasn't my weakness
I'd be half a soul from saved
I'd be one foot in the grave
If she wasn't my weakness
If she wasn't my weakness

She's a hurricane rainin' holy water
Yeah, and every piece of me can't live without her

She ain't no cigarette you can put down
Like a habit, get past it
She's the only thing I know I gotta have it, yeah
She ain't no whiskey pour you can wave it off
And walk away from, leavin' half-drunk
She's stronger than that
I'd still be lost and running, if she wasn't
My weakness
Oh, my weakness

Oh, my wild side's a little too strong
Woulda screwed it up and done her wrong
If she wasn't my weakness
If she wasn't my weakness
All the give in to temptation
The good times I'd be wastin'
If she wasn't my weakness
If she wasn't my weakness

She's a sunrise summer in the darkest hour
Yeah, and every piece of me can't live without her

She ain't no cigarette you can put down
Like a habit, get past it
She's the only thing I know I gotta have it, yeah
She ain't no whiskey pour you can wave it off
And walk away from, leavin' half-drunk
She's stronger than that
I'd still be lost and runnin', if she wasn't
My weakness
Oh, my weakness
Yeah

She's the voice in your head you wanna turn up louder
Yeah, and every piece of me can't live without her

Well, she ain't no cigarette you can put down
Like a habit, get past it
She's the only thing I know I gotta have it, yeah
She ain't no whiskey pour you can wave it off
And walk away from, leavin' half-drunk
She's stronger than that
I'd still be lost and runnin', if she wasn't
My weakness
Oh, my weakness
Yeah

Holy Water

Summer sixteen
Spent that week
Wishin' on a shootin' star
That ferris wheel town
With a merry-go-round
And we played bumper cars
And we were all, but in love
I could have sworn we were (sworn we were)
That night tide comin' up
We were divin' in head first, to the

Holy water
Slowly rollin'
In that Alabama breeze
Bring those waves in
Be that amen
Mm, that brings her back to me
The preacher's daughter
Back in Georgia
Air brushed t-shirt in a drawer
Does she think of me
Like I think of her
Every time I'm standing on the shore
Of holy water
Holy water

Bet you're married now, girl
Making somebody's world
A little slice of heaven
I'm a guitar man
With a travelin' band
Heading down to Destin
But I stopped in tonight
At the florabama bar

With shoes in my hand
Walkin' that sand
And I watched a shootin' star, over

Holy water
Slowly rollin'
In that Alabama breeze
Bring those waves in
Be that amen
Mm, that brings her back to me
The preacher's daughter
Back in Georgia
Air brushed t-shirt in a drawer
Does she think of me
Like I think of her
Every time I'm standing on the shore
Of holy water
Holy water

Holy water
Slowly rollin'
In that Alabama breeze
Bring those waves in
Be that amen
Mm, that brings her back to me
The preacher's daughter
Back in Georgia
Air brushed t-shirt in a drawer
Does she think of me
Like I think of her
Every time I'm standing on the shore
Of holy water
Holy water

Rock And Roll Cowboy

Sometimes I think these boots are better off on your porch
And my hat sure looks at home hangin' on your side of a door
It's hard to pack a bag with you lyin' there in bed
And even harder backin' down your drive
Thinkin' 'bout the words you said

Rock and roll cowboy
How high you gotta fly?
How many miles you gotta ride
'Fore you hang your saddle up?
Rock and roll cowboy
You got restless in your soul
If you ain't out there on that road
So go on and rock and roll, cowboy

Yeah, I can feel the wheels, hear that engine hum a highway song
Starin' out at another midnight whiskey windshield all night long
Another town, another show, another hotel room
Another missin' you over this phone
When you comin' home, when you comin' home?

Rock and roll cowboy
How high you gotta fly?
How many miles you gotta ride
'Fore you hang your saddle up?
Rock and roll cowboy
You got restless in your soul
If you ain't out there on that road
So go on and rock and roll, cowboy

Rock and roll cowboy

Rock and roll cowboy
Oh, you know where you belong
You ain't you if you ain't gone
You'll never hang your saddle up

Rock and roll cowboy
How high you gotta fly?
How many miles you gotta ride?
How many miles, how many miles?
Rock and roll cowboy
Rock and roll cowboy

Your mama
Came from Carolina
Settled down this boy from Georgia
And boy, she sure is gorgeous, ain't she son?

Quick to love and slow to anger
Yeah, we both ought to thank her, we're the lucky ones

Take a Little Ride (Live from Las Vegas, NV)

Been goin' round and round all day
Bailin' some hay and stacking it all up
Can't wait for the sun to go down
Roll into town, shine the old truck up
Swing by the quick stop
Grab a couple Rocky Tops
Then ease on out your way
To your place around 8 o'clock

Well I'm just ready to ride this Chevy
Ride this Chevy down a little backroad
Slide your pretty little self on over
Get a little closer, turn up the radio
Put your pretty pink toes on the dash
Lean your seat back
Man I swear there ain't nothing looks better than that
Sweet tan, little thing with nothing to do
I wanna take a little ride with you

I hope you're wearing those frayed out cut-offs
Makes me want to get lost out in the moonlight
Drop the tailgate down on a turn road
Watch the corn grow, baby that's a good night
Anyone from the heartland is gonna understand
What I'm talking about right now
Ain't no doubt, we got a game plan

Well I'm just ready to ride this Chevy
Ride this Chevy down a little backroad
Slide your pretty little self on over
Get a little closer, turn up the radio
Put your pretty pink toes on the dash
Lean your seat back
Man I swear there ain't nothing looks better than that
Sweet tan, little thing with nothing to do
I wanna take a little ride with you

Well I'm just ready to ride this Chevy
Ride this Chevy down a little backroad
Slide your pretty little self on over
Get a little closer you can play my radio
Put your pretty pink toes on the dash
Lean your seat back
Man I swear there ain't nothing looks better than that
Sweet tan, little thing with nothing to do
I wanna take a little ride with you
Take a little ride with you
I wanna take a little ride with you

Burnin' It Down (Live from St. Louis, MO)

You slip your finger through the tear in my t-shirt
You stirrin' up dirty in the back of my mind
You keep on flirtin'
'Cause you know that it's workin'
You stuck in my head girl writing the lines
Couldn't sing this song without you if I tried
Let's light it up like it's our last night

We're just hanging around
Burnin' it down
Sippin' on some cold Jack Daniel's
Jammin' to some old Alabama with you baby
Laying right here, naked in my bed
I'm just doing my thing
You love it when I sing
Say it makes you feel like an angel
We 'bout to get a little tangled up right about now
So girl let's keep burnin' it down
Burnin' it down
Burnin' it down

Girl when you want it
You know that I'm on it
You know that I love lovin' up on you
Let's hit the switch and let our shadows dance
And light it up like it's our last chance

We're just hanging around
Burnin' it down
Sippin' on some cold Jack Daniel's
Jammin' to some old Alabama with you baby
Laying right here, dreaming in my bed
I'm just doing my thing
You love it when I sing
Say it makes you feel like an angel
We're 'bout to get a little tangled up right about now
So girl let's keep burnin' it down
Burnin' it down
Burnin' it down
Burnin' it down
Burnin' it down
Burnin' it down
Burnin' it down

I wanna rock it all night
Baby girl will you rock it out with me?
I wanna crawl through the dark
Just to feel your heartbeat against me
Yeah, I wanna rock it all night
Baby girl will you rock it out with me?
I wanna crawl through the dark
Just to feel your heartbeat against me

We're just hanging around
Burnin' it down
Sippin' on some cold Jack Daniel's
Jammin' to some old Alabama with you baby
Laying right here naked in my bed
I'm just doing my thing
You love it when I sing
Say it makes you feel like an angel
We're 'bout to get a little tangled up right about now
So girl let's keep burnin' it down
Burnin' it down
Burnin' it down

Burnin' it down
Burnin' it down

Any Ol' Barstool (Live from Knoxville, TN)

I guess you heard I was pedal to the metal on a downhill slide
Girl, you know those rumors get to flyin' in a town that size
No, I didn't feel a thing when you threw that ring and slammed the door
If you wanna know the truth
You gotta go straight to the source

Ask any ol' barstool in this town
Ask my new found party crowd
Sure I take more jack in my coke now
A little more high in my smoke now
Sure I stay 'til they're all long gone
And I take the long way home
But I ain't sittin' 'round
Tryin' to drown the thought of you
Ask any ol' barstool

I can finally stretch out in our king size bed
If I make it that far
But fillin' in all these blanks you left isn't all that hard
No, I ain't wonderin' where you been
Or who you been with
I guess you didn't hurt me half as bad as you think you did
Ask any ol' barstool in this town
Ask my new found party crowd
Sure I take more jack in my coke now
A little more high in my smoke now
Sure I stay 'til they're all long gone
And I take the long way home
But I ain't sittin' 'round
Tryin' to drown the thought of you
Ask any ol' barstool

Yeah, you think I'm down and out hidin' out, hell-bent crazy
But that ain't me, baby

Ask any ol' barstool in this town
Ask my new found party crowd
Sure I take more jack in my coke now
But I'm a long way from broke now
Sure I stay 'til they're all long gone
And I take the long way home
But I ain't sittin' 'round
Tryin' to drown the thought of you
Ask any ol' barstool
Ask any ol' barstool

I guess you heard I was pedal to the metal on a downhill slide

Rearview Town (Live from St. Louis, MO)

Wipe the footprints off my dash
Tore up those sun-faded photographs
Threw 'em in the wind, ya'll can have it back
I'm outta here
I stuck my middle finger up in the sky
Flipped off that "Ya'll Come Back" sign
Looked in the mirror one last time
And watched it disappear

It ain't nothin' but a rearview town
Broken hearts and rusted plows
Roots ripped right up out of the ground
Never thought I'd ever leave it
Oh, it ain't nothin' what it used to be
Population minus me
On the other side of that dust cloud
Ain't nothin' but a rearview town

I could tough it out, but what's the use?
A place that small, it's hard to do
Too much of her to run into
And so much road to somewhere new

It ain't nothin' but a rearview town
Broken hearts and rusted plows
Roots ripped right up out of the ground
Never thought I'd ever leave it
Oh, it ain't nothin' what it used to be
Population minus me
On the other side of that dust cloud
Ain't nothin' but a rearview town

It ain't nothin' but yesterday
One less truck rollin' down Main
Ain't nothin' left to say

No, it ain't nothin' what it used to be
Population minus me
On the other side of that dust cloud
Ain't nothin' but a rearview town
Ain't nothin' but a rearview town

Blame It On You (Live from Manchester, TN)

Goin' down like a sunset
Burnin' out like a cigarette
Blowin' through the cash, through the past
Drinkin' down that memory 'til there's nothin' left
I could go on and on
Why you're gone

I could blame it on the whiskey
I wouldn't blame you if you didn't even miss me
Gave you a million reasons, girl, not to be with me (with me)
Should've never let you go
Should've never watched you go
I could blame it on a good high
Let it take the blame for why you told me, "Goodbye"
Instead of missin' you and missin' all those good times (good times)
Should've never let you go
Should've never watched you go

I could say I never knew
And I could drink around the truth
But I can't blame it on you, yeah, yeah
(Do you still think about me too?)
(Baby, do you still think about me too?)

Trying to ride out the midnight
Trying to fight through the daylight
Wondering where you're at and just like that I'm looking back
On what I had when you were mine
I could go on and on (long, long time, yeah)
Why you're gone

I could blame it on the whiskey
I wouldn't blame you if you didn't even miss me
Gave you a million reasons, girl, not to be with me (with me)
Should've never let you go
Should've never watched you go
I could blame it on a good high
Let it take the blame for why you told me, "Goodbye"
Instead of missin' you and missin' all those good times (good times)
Should've never let you go
Should've never watched you go

I could say I never knew
Yeah, I can drink around the truth
But I can't blame it on you, yeah, yeah
(Do you still think about me too?)
(Baby, do you still think about me too?)

I could go on and on (long, long time, yeah)
Why you're gone

I could blame it on the whiskey
I wouldn't blame you if you didn't even miss me
Gave you a million reasons, girl, not to be with me (with me)
Should've never let you go
Should've never watched you go
I could blame it on a good high
Let it take the blame for why you told me, "Goodbye"
Instead of missin' you and missin' all those good times (good times)
Should've never let you go
Should've never watched you go

I could say I never knew
Yeah, I can drink around the truth (long, long time, yeah)
I could say I never knew
Yeah, I can drink around the truth
But I can't blame it on you, yeah, yeah
(Do you still think about me too?)
