"Dixie Highway"
(performed with Zac Brown)

"Dixie Highway"
(performed with Zac Brown)



I was born on the Dixie Highway, red clay and Georgia pines
I was raised on the Dixie Highway, no sweeter place you’ll ever find.

Wood frame house and gravel driveway
Willow trees and old front porch
Just outside the city limits, on the highway 34.

I was born on the Dixie Highway, red clay and Georgia pines
I was raised on the Dixie Highway, no sweeter place you’ll ever find.

And having tobacco growing on the roadside
Rolled it up and we smoked it down.
Don’t do much, but it makes you feel big
When you’re ten years old in a tiny town.

I was born on the Dixie Highway, red clay and Georgia pines
I was raised on the Dixie Highway, no sweeter place you’ll ever find.

Have a chicken pen right in the backyard
Clothes line running east to west
Butter bean and Tomato garden, six days and a Sunday rest.

I was born on the Dixie Highway, red clay and Georgia pines
I was raised on the Dixie Highway, no sweeter place you’ll ever find.

Summertime, hot and hazy, bare feet and a water hose
Melon rind on a country table
Lightning bugs when the sun goes down.

I was born on the Dixie Highway, red clay and Georgia pines
I was raised on the Dixie Highway, no sweeter place you’ll ever find.

And the holy ghost on a Sunday morning,
Gospel songs and a Bible read
Sunday lunch at momma’s table, thank the Lord and break the bread.

I was born on the Dixie Highway, red clay and Georgia pines
I was raised on the Dixie Highway, no sweeter place you’ll ever find.

Screened in porch right at the backdoor,
Washing machine and an old wood stove
Momma’s singing in the kitchen, rolling homemade biscuit dough.

I was born on the Dixie Highway, red clay and Georgia pines
I was raised on the Dixie Highway, no sweeter place you’ll ever find.

When I’m old and Heaven’s calling
And they come to carry me away
Just lay me down, down in south land
Bury me in the Georgia clay.

I was born on the Dixie Highway, red clay and Georgia pines
I was raised on the Dixie Highway, no sweeter place you’ll ever find.

"Dog River Blues"

"Dog River Blues"



Well I first kissed you on a hollow log
Down by the river they call the Dog
We fell in love and we vowed that day
Like the flow of the river our love won't change
Well, we married that spring and we built a house
On the bank of the river where the rock juts out
Now the river's still here but you're long gone
You left me and the river here all alone

I got the Dog River blues
I've walked holes in both my shoes
Now I still got the river but I ain't got you
I got the Dog River blues

Well the rain came down and the river rose up
Filled up the cab on my pickup truck
It came in the house and down the hall
And washed your picture right off the wall

I got the Dog River blues
I've walked holes in both my shoes
Now I still got the river but I ain't got you
I got the Dog River blues

Well, my heart still yearns and the river still rolls
And I pray someday it'll bring you home
If you change your mind honey I'll be here
Waiting on the banks of that ole Dog River

I got the Dog River blues
I've walked holes in both my shoes
Now I still got the river but I ain't got you
I got the Dog River blues

I got the Dog River blues
I've walked holes in both my shoes
Now I still got the river but I ain't got you
I got the Dog River blues

For I still got the river but I ain't got you
I got the Dog River blues...

"Don't Ask Why"

"Don't Ask Why"



Ask me any kind of question
Anything you wanna know
Tell you all about my lovers
Heartaches and laughter
From a long time ago

Ask me if I'm finally happy
I've never really been before
Ever since you happened to me
I've told all my secrets
I don't have anymore

Ask me now
And I won't tell a lie
Ask me how
I've been feelin' inside
When somebody loves you
You know that it's true
Don't ask why

And ask me if I really mean it
When I tell you I love you
Ask me will I please repeat it
I'll tell you forever if you want me to

And ask me now
And I won't tell a lie
Ask me how
I've been feelin' inside
When somebody loves you
And you know that it's true
Don't ask why
Now don't ask why

"Don't Change On Me"

"Don't Change On Me"



Girl you're my sunshine
Chase away the raindrops
Make it all worthwhile
Make all the pain stop

Just like the river
Keep love flowin'
Don't let our world stop
Keep it goin'

I like it just the way you are
Honey don't change who you are
Don't change on me
Don't you change on me

Girl you're my lucky star
Honey don't change who you are
Don't change on me
Don't change on me

I used to wonder
Where would I find
Some kind of happiness
And peace of mind
Livin' in the darkness
Then you came
Bringin' sunlight
Easin' my pain

I love you just the way you are
Honey don't change who you are
Girl don't change on me
Don't you change on me

Girl you're my lucky star
Honey don't change who you are
Don't change on me
Don't you change on me

If there's a heaven
This is my prayer
Lord knows I wanna know you
We should meet there
And then forever
We'll walk together
Nothin' but sunshine
No more stormy weather

I love you just the way you are
Honey don't change who you are
Don't change on me
Don't you change on me

Girl you're my lucky star
Honey don't change who you are
Don't change on me
Don't change on me
Oh now
I love you just the way you are
Honey don't change who you are
Don't change on me
Don't you change on me
Girl you're my lucky star
Honey don't change who you are
Don't change on me
Don't change on me

"Don't Rock The Jukebox"

"Don't Rock The Jukebox"



Don't rock the jukebox
I wanna hear some Jones
My heart ain't ready
For the Rolling Stones
I don't feel like rockin'
Since my baby's gone
So don't rock the jukebox
Play me a country song

Before you drop that quarter
Keep one thing in mind
You got a heartbroke hillbilly
Standing here in line
I've been down and lonely
Ever since she left
Before you punch that number
Could I make one request

Don't rock the jukebox
I wanna hear some Jones
My heart ain't ready
For the Rolling Stones
I don't feel like rockin'
Since my baby's gone
So don't rock the jukebox
Play me a country song

I ain't got nothin'
Against rock & roll
But when your heart's been broken
You need a song that's slow
Ain't nothin' like a steel guitar
To drown a memory
Before you spend your money baby
Play a song for me

Don't rock the jukebox
I wanna hear George Jones
My heart ain't ready
For the Rolling Stones
I don't feel like rockin'
Since my baby's gone
So don't rock the jukebox
Play me a country song
Ya don't rock the jukebox
Play me a country song

"Drive (For Daddy Gene)"

"Drive (For Daddy Gene)"



It was painted red the stripe was white
It was 18 feet from the bow to stern light
Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta
I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her
We put on a shine, put on a motor
Built out of love, and made for the water
Ran her for years, til' the transom got rotten
A piece of my childhood will never be forgoten

It was just an old plywood boat
With a 75 Johnson with electric choke
A young boy two hands on the wheel
I can't replace the way it made me feel
And I would turn her sharp
And I would make it whine
He'd say, "You can't beat the way a old wood boat rides"
Just a little lake cross the Alabama line
But I was king of the ocean
When Daddy let me drive

Just an old half ton short bed ford
My Uncle bought new in 64
Daddy got it right cause the engine was smoking
A couple of burnt valves and he had it going
He'd let me drive her when we haul off a load
Down a dirt strip where we'd dump trash off of Thigpen Road
I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedels
Smiling like a hero who just received his medal

It was just an old hand me down ford
With 3 speed on the column and a dent in the door
A young boy two hands on the wheel
I can't replace the way it made me feel and
I would press that clutch
And I would keep it right
He would say a little slower son
Your doing just fine
Just a dirt road with trash on each side
But I was Mario Andretti
When Daddy let me drive

I'm grown up now
3 daughters of my own
I let them drive my old jeep
Across the pasture at our home
Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file
And pull out that old memory
And think of me and smile
And say

It was just an old worn out jeep
Rusty old floor boards
Hot on my feet
A young girl two hands on the wheel
I can't replace the way it made me feel
And he'd say
Turn it left, and steer it right
Straighten up girl now, you're doing just fine
Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride
But I was high on a mountain

When Daddy let me drive

Daddy let me drive

Oh he let me drive

It's just an old plywood boat
With a 75 johnson
And electric choke

"Every Now And Then"

"Every Now And Then"


The love you thought was dead and gone
Somehow keeps on hanging on
Even when your heart has left it far behind
Just when you have turned the page
It seems to find a way
There it is again
Every now and then

[Chorus]
And every now and then that old feeling comes around
Every now and then I see your face in another cloud
And every now and then some old something takes me right back again
Every now and then

You can finally breathe life in
Without wondering where she's been
Go to sleep at night without her on your mind
In a second it appears
Followed by familiar tears
Like a long lost friend
Every now and then

[Chorus]

[Instrumental]

And I know it's all for nothing
There's no going back to way back then

[Chorus]

I still love you
Every now and then

"Everything But The Wings"

"Everything But The Wings"


It's hard to describe
You're like nothing I've ever known in my life
Kindness flowing from down deep inside your eyes
So selfless and complete

A beauty in and out
All around you not a single cloud
Like the rain just stops before it hits the ground
And puddles at your feet

[Chorus:]
You're an angel
I know heaven wonders where you are
Like you fell off some ol' shining star
Right into my heart
An angel,
When I'm with you I feel like a king
Just like out of some old movie scene
An angel, everything but the wings

Looking at you
It's hard to believe that you could feel the way I do
Never thought I'd find so much love we fall into
Or perfect or true
So never go away
If heaven calls you back just ask if you can stay
I'd never find someone to ever take your place
You know they only made a few

[Chorus:]
'Cause you're an angel
I know heaven wonders where you are
Like you fell off some old shining star
Right into my heart
An angel,
When I'm with you I feel like a king
Just like out of some old movie scene
An angel, everything but the wings

Everything but the wings
An angel
Everything but the wings

"Everything I Love"

"Everything I Love"



Coffee keeps me up and I can't sleep
And when I drink too much then I can't eat
Losing you has led me to believe
Everything I love is killin' me

Everything I love is killin' me
Cigarettes, Jack Daniels and caffeine
And that's the way you're turnin' out to be
Everything I love gonna have to give up
'Cause everything I love is killin' me

I guess I made a big mistake
Thinkin' you're a habit I can break
Well, I'm addicted to you now I see
Everything I love is killin' me

Everything I love is killin' me
Cigarettes, Jack Daniels and caffeine
And that's the way you're turnin' out to be
Everything I love gonna have to give up
'Cause everything I love is killin' me
Everything I love gonna have to give up
'Cause everything I love is killin' me

"Farewell Party"

"Farewell Party"



When the last breath of life is gone from my body
And my lips are as cold as the sea
When my friends gather around for my farewell party
Won't you pretend you love me

There will be flowers from those who cry when I go
And leave you in this old world alone
I know you'll have fun at my farewell party
I know you'll be glad when I'm gone

Don't be mad at me for wanting to keep you
Til my life on this old world is through
You'll be free at the end of my farewell party
But I'll go away loving you

There will be flowers from those who cry when I go
And leave you in this old world alone
I know you'll have fun at my farewell party
I know you 'll be glad when I'm gone
Yes I know you'll be glad when I'm g-o-n-e.
