"Red, White & Blue"

"Red, White & Blue"


My grandmama worked on a factory floor,
Sewing leather for minimum wage,
While my granddaddy worked all the beer joints in town,
Tryin' to forget the memories he made.
Because when daddy was born in 1945,
We'd been fighting for what we believed.
Along with five other brothers, who stood by his side
They were ready they were willing to bleed.

[Chorus:]
Red, white and blue
Those colors mean something
Those colors stay true.
Like my family before me,
I'll feel it too.
The blood that's in my veins,
Runs red, white and blue.

My daddy grew up, on the wrong side of poor
Rubbin' nickels together for heat.
Well, he and his sister had barely got by
With the clothes and the shoes on their feet.
So he joined the service when he was 18
Like his daddy and his uncles before.
He was ready to die for what he believed
To fight for what's worth fightin' for

[Chorus:]
Red, white and blue
Those colors mean something
Those colors stay true.
Like my family before me,
I'll feel it too.
The blood that's in my veins,
Runs red, white and blue.

Well me and my sisters got kids of our own
And my brothers comin up on sixteen
And my daddy taught us all how to live off the land
And how to stand up for what we believe

[Chorus:]
Red, white and blue
Those colors mean something
Those colors stay true.
Like my family before me,
I'll feel it too.
The blood that's in my veins,
Runs red, white and blue.
Like my family before me
I feel it too
The blood that's in my veins,
Runs red, white and blue.
The blood that's in my veins
Runs red white and blue

"Sinner"
(feat. Willie Nelson)

"Sinner"
(feat. Willie Nelson)



So I sit here,
In my hole,
Hope the lord can,
Come save my soul.

Cause I'm a sinner to my core,
I ask forgiveness and nothing more.

Darkness surrounds me,
I can't see,
All of the demons,
Right here with me.

Cause I'm a sinner to my core.
I ask forgiveness and nothing more.

My eyes are open,
Now I can see,
All of the damage,
Brought on by me.

Cause I'm a sinner to my core,
I ask forgiveness and nothing more.

I'm a sinner to my core,
I ask forgiveness and nothing more.

"State I'm In"

"State I'm In"


I lost my faith a long time ago
Puttin' miles on this old road
I lost my family and I lost my soul
800 miles and one more show

Still workin' these fingers to the bone
When the show is over I sit alone
Well the angels and devils are my only friends
I wake up in the morning and I do it again

I don't know what you've been told
All the whiskey in the world won't save my soul
I've done it all so where do I begin
To fix all the messes and the state I'm in

It's hard
Yeah it's hard

I feel like there's a better way
To make it through another day
So sad that life turned out like this
'Cause I still taste you on my lips

Well I don't know what you've been told
All the whiskey in the world won't save my soul
I've done it all so where do I begin
To fix all the messes and the state I'm in

It's hard
Mmh it's hard
Yeah it's hard
Mmh it's hard

"State Lines"

"State Lines"


I just left out of corpus and I'm heading into Nashville for the day
I left my mark on music row, now back out on the road, more shows to play

I've worn the tires off this bus ten times
I've carried contraband across state lines

I've played concert halls and holes in walls and places that a show just shouldn't be
There's stadiums and late night shows on every major network on TV

And I've worn the tires off this bus ten times
I've carried contraband across state lines

Well, I just left West Virginia, one more in Wabash and Then I'll come home
I can take this guitar off my back and hang up these ol boots cause I'm gone

And I've worn the tires off this bus ten times
I've carried contraband across state lines
I've followed yellow lines til I can't see
I'll never know where this road's takin' me

"Story Of My Life"

"Story Of My Life"


I'll watch it all go down in flames
Knowin' there's no one to blame but me
Another vice to kill the pain
Knowin' that the pain will set me free

So I sit here starin' at the sky, and wonder why
The hands of God still hold me, and help me through this life
A sinner in so many ways, I've made it through so many days
I struggle, still lookin' for a sign

A little purpose
The story of my life

I'm haunted by the words you said
Prayin' that there's any hope for me
This holy war inside my head
Is probably not the safest place to be

So I sit here starin' at the sky, and wonder why
The hands of God still hold me, and help me through this life
A sinner in so many ways, I've made it through so many days
I struggle, still lookin' for a sign

A little purpose
The story of my life
The story of my life

So as the darkness turns to day
The light it shows the depth of my disguise
My safety was naivety
Created by deception and with lies

So I sit here starin' at the sky, and wonder why
The hands of God still hold me, and help me through this life
I'm a sinner in so many ways, I've made it through so many days
I struggle, still lookin' for a sign

A little purpose
The story of my life
The story of my life
The story of my life

"Stuck In These Shoes"

"Stuck In These Shoes"


I'm stuck in these shoes
And I ain't a hero, or role model material
Well I'm just a man, that's tryin' to get by
And I'm stuck in these shoes

And they're made for walkin'
Let my songs do the talkin'
I'm just not really sure
How much further they'll go

'Cause sometimes I still feel like I'm losin'
And sometimes I still feel all alone
And sometimes I still feel I won't make it through this
On my own
'Cause I'm stuck in these shoes
I got nothin' to lose
I've played the fool, I broke all of the rules, and I have to choose
'Cause I'm stuck in these shoes

And I ain't a savior
And I ain't here to save ya
'Cause I'm not very good
At savin' myself

'Cause sometimes I still feel like I'm losin'
And sometimes I still feel all alone
And sometimes I still feel I won't make it through this
On my own
'Cause I'm stuck in these shoes
I got nothin' to lose
'Cause I play the fool, I break all the rules, and I need to choose
'Cause I'm stuck in these shoes

"Sunday Every Saturday Night"

"Sunday Every Saturday Night"


I've seen drunk girls singin' karaoke
I've seen old timers bring their beer
And we all seem to have our sad stories to tell
That's how we all ended up here

Washin' away all our problems
Gettin' baptised in those neon lights
And the drunker I get, the more things I forget
And I just ain't got that kind of time

So that's why I like drinkin' whiskey
Because it fills up the cracks in my soul
And it helps me forget all the damage I've done
And all the time I've spent down in this hole

And for a moment I swear I hear Jesus
Sayin' "Son, it'll all be alright."
So I take one more shot of redemption, Lord
It's like Sunday every Saturday night

Now the gospel comes out of that jukebox
And an angel just walked through the door
And she pulled up a chair right beside me
She said, "You think misery's got room for one more?"

So that's why I like drinkin' whiskey
Because it fills up the cracks in my soul
And it helps me forget all the damage I've done
And all the time I've spent down in this hole

And for a moment I swear I hear Jesus
Sayin' "Son, it'll all be alright."
So I take one more shot of redemption, Lord
It's like Sunday every Saturday night

Now the bar stools are lined up like church pews
And the preacher just yelled out "Last call!"
And confession is held belly-up to the bar
Hell even the best angels fall

So that's why I like drinkin' whiskey
Because it fills up the cracks in my soul
And it helps me forget all the damage I've done
And all the time I've spent down in this hole

And for a moment I swear I hear Jesus
Saying "Son, it'll all be alright."
So I take one more shot of redemption, Lord
It's like Sunday every Saturday night

It's like Sunday every Saturday night

"Tangled Up In You"

"Tangled Up In You"


You're my world
The shelter from the rain
You're the pills
Then take away my pain
You're the light
That helps me find my way
You're the words
When I have nothing to say

In this world
Where nothing else is true
Here I am
Still tangled up in you
I'm Still tangled up in you
Still tangled up in you

You're the fire
That warms me when I'm cold
You're the hand I have to hold
as I grow old.
You're the shore
When I am lost at sea
You're the only thing
That I like about me.

In this world
Where nothing else is true
Here I am
I'm still tangled up in you
Tangled up in you

How long has it been
Since this storyline began
And I hope it never ends
And goes like this forever

In this world
Where nothing else is true
Here I am
Still tangled up in you
Tangled up in you
I'm still tangled up in you
I'm still tangled up in you
I'm still tangled up in you

"That Ain't Country"

"That Ain't Country"


What a sad state of affairs I'm in
Cause I'm trying to compete where I just don't fit in
Cause the country, if you call it that, from off the road
Ain't country just because I'm old enough to know that

That ain't country
That's a natural fact
It's full of tails of good times and happy endings
My life ain't like that
So I'll keep listening to the old songs that my Grandad used to play
Full of pain and heartache and desperation and the ones that got away
The ones that speak to me, the way I feel today

So tell me, whatever happened to the country songs
Full of truth and consequences, all the things gone wrong
Someone came and changed it up, made it all a lie
I'd like to spit a little beach-nut right in that dude's eye

Cause that ain't country
That's a natural fact
It's full of tails of good times and happy endings
My life ain't like that
So I'll keep listening to the old songs that my Grandad used to play
Full of pain and heartache and desperation and the ones that got away
The ones that speak to me, the way I feel today

Now listen here
We got Waylon singing songs bout a Ramblin' Man
And Junior's got a cold one in his hand
And the Possum's gettin drunk again imagine that
And Charlie Daniels playing fiddle underneath that hat
And John and June are goin' back and forth again
And David Allan Coe is singing 'bout his kin
And Haggard sings the songs that'll save your soul
And Willie sings the songs about the hearts he stole

Cause that shit's country
That's a natural fact
It's full of tails of hard times and complications
Ain't life like that?
So I'll keep listening to the old songs that my Grandad used to play
Full of pain and heartache and desperation and the ones that got away
The ones that speak to me, the way I feel today
The ones that speak to me
The way I feel today

"The Bottom"

"The Bottom"


Elevator, operator
Looks at me and smiles that weary smile
I'm sure my looks could easily deceive
The very wisest of them all
And he says,
"Are you goin' to the penthouse
Or the condo that lies just beyond
The chapel door?"
I smile back and softly tell him, "No,
I'm headed to the bottom"

I'm goin' all the way down
To the bottom
So turn the music up real high
And let the sweetest Bénédictine liqueur flow
No need to worry
About tomorrow, 'cause you're not there
I'm goin' all the way down
To the bottom

Rainy streets and wet memories
Have found a place inside to pass the time
And Pete serves up my whiskey cold
And I drink it, and pray the picture fades
Dressed in black, you turned your back
And broke a heart that loved and loved you so
Oh I loved you so
The bells rang on the day we died
And I headed straight to the bottom

I'm goin' all the way down
To the bottom
So turn the music up real high
And let the sweetest Bénédictine liqueur flow
There's no need to worry
About tomorrow, 'cause you're not there
I'm goin' all the way down
To the very bottom
I'm goin' all the way down
All the way down
To the bottom
