"Flora-Bama"

"Flora-Bama"



Sitting here at the Flora-Bama
Bout to open up a big old can of good times, unwind
Fall in and out of love in the same night
In the same night

There's ball caps, photographs, dollar bills and bras
License plates from every state nailed up to the wall
Spring breakers, heart breakers, already getting loud
Talladega's on the big screen, don't it make you proud?

Sitting here at the Flora-Bama
Bout to open up a big old can of good times, unwind
Fall in and out of love in the same night
Can't say I got a whole lot of cares
I'm in the redneck riviera
It's getting crazy, getting hammered
Sitting right here at the Flora-Bama
At the Flora-Bama

There's hot time, low tide, years of history
Hurricanes with different names that almost took the beach
The sign that says "live your life" just for inspiration
Gonna raise a lot of hell tonight in the, in the no shoes nation

Sitting here at the Flora-Bama
Bout to open up a big old can of good times, unwind
Fall in and out of love in the same night
Can't say I got a whole lot of cares
I'm in the redneck riviera
It's getting crazy, getting hammered
Sitting right here at the Flora-Bama
At the Flora-Bama

Got your Who Dat?, go Vols, roll tide and the Seminoles
Old dogs, war eagle, green-eyed gator, that's barely legal

Sitting here at the Flora-Bama
Bout to open up a big old can of good times, unwind
Fall in and out of love in the same night
Can't say I got a whole lot of cares
I'm in the redneck riviera
It's getting crazy, getting hammered
Sitting right here at the Flora-Bama
At the Flora-Bama

Don't it feel good?
Don't it feel good?
Yeah, don't it feel good?
At the Flora-Bama
Sitting here at the Flora-Bama
Sitting here at the Flora-Bama

"Freedom"

"Freedom"



People always tell me their life story
Love they've lost, their taste of glory
He sat next to me at the counter in the diner
Said I used to be Wall Street but this is much finer
Oh yeah

He had a leather look on a steel horse Harley
And a dark-eyed girlfriend he called Charlie
He looked a little lost walkin' out the door
But I think I knew what he was lookin' for
Freedom, sweet freedom

I gassed 'er up, climbed back in my cab
To my wife I'm a husband, to my kids I'm a dad
To the credit card companies I'm just another sucker
To the IRS, a long-haul trucker
Mmmm yeah

Some say that freedom's the power to do what one pleases
You can live like the devil or hold on to Jesus
I found the one thing I was born to do
And girl that's why I'm runnin' back to you
Freedom, sweet freedom

He climbed up in my truck with his green duffel bag
I knew he was a soldier 'cause I saw his dog tags
We talked about it, we cried about it

Then a steel horse Harley came roarin' on past
I knew it was Charlie hangin' on real fast
We talked about it, we laughed about it

Through the joy and pain that living brings
Don't we all want the same thing
Freedom, sweet freedom

It's what the junkie needs that the needle can't give
The oppressed and forgotten are praying for it
It's what the brave and courageous are fightin' for
An open sail on a distant shore
Freedom

"French Kissin' Life"

"French Kissin' Life"



Don't really know what day it is
Been rocking nine days in a row
All I know is it's hurricane season
And any minute she's gonna blow

I need a shave and I need some rest
I know some people are worried about me
But I'm french kissing life square in the mouth
Sailing out on the sea

Went through customs and immigration
Still this feels like home
I'm floating 'round through Gorda Sound
With a cooler and a bong

Maybe I could've been a pirate
Maybe in my next life that's what I'll be
French kissing life square in the mouth
Sailing out on the sea

Tonight I don't need to feel famous
Out here all I feel is free

French kissing life square in the mouth
Sailing out on the sea
Maybe I could've been a pirate
Maybe in my next life that's what I'll be
French kissing life square in the mouth
Sailing out on the sea

"From Hillbilly Heaven, To Honky Tonk Hell"
(feat. George Jones and Tracy Lawrence)

"From Hillbilly Heaven, To Honky Tonk Hell"
(feat. George Jones and Tracy Lawrence)



On a hillside in Hazzard
Sets a new double-wide
God's little acre
Your paradise

A poor boy found heaven
With a good country girl
He had all he wanted
She was his whole world

But working the coal mine
Can wear a man down
He started spending
Too much time in town

He found temptation
Fell under it's spell
And Hillbilly Heaven
Went to Honky Tonk Hell

From Hillbilly Heaven
To Honky Tonk Hell
From a warm home fire burning
To a cold, cheap motel
And an angel is crying
'Cause her good man fell
From Hillbilly Heaven
To Honky Tonk Hell

Somewhere in Hazzard
On a dark, dead-end street
Where whiskey and heartache
And old memories meet

He looks for salvation
In a bottle each night
And just goes on livin'
Though he's lost his life

Now there's a job in the coal mine
That needs to be filled
And a heartache in Hazzard
That won't ever heal

He had it all
Now it's all for sale
And Hillbilly Heaven's
Gone to Honky Tonk Hell
From Hillbilly Heaven
To Honky Tonk Hell
From a warm home fire burning
To a cold, cheap motel
And an angel is crying
'Cause her good man fell
From Hillbilly Heaven
To Honky Tonk Hell

He's gone from Hillbilly Heaven
To Honky Tonk Hell

"Got A Little Crazy"

"Got A Little Crazy"



Steel drums still ringing in my head
Well I feel pain, So I'm not dead
From the looks of things, it looks like
It got a little crazy last night

Could I get your name again?
Some situation that we're in
Woke up by each others side
It got a little crazy last night

Last thing I remember
I told the bartender mix rum and whatever you have
First one drink, then two then I woke up with you so I know things can't be all that bad
But it's still a little hazy, it got a little crazy last night

Are these your shoes that I have on?
Is this your bed, is this your home?
All I know is, it's not mine
It got a little crazy last night

Last thing I remember
I told the bartender mix rum and whatever you have
First one drink, then two then I woke up with you so I know things can't be all that bad
But it's still a little hazy, it got a little crazy last night

I think I feel a fresh tattoo
What is it of, I wish I knew
It couldn't get more out of sight
It got a little crazy last night

Last thing I remember
I told the bartender mix rum and whatever you have
First one drink, then two then I woke up with you so I know things can't be all that bad
But it's still a little hazy, sounds a little shady, I think she might have paid me, it got a little crazy last night

Got a little crazy last night
Got a little crazy

"Grandpa Told Me So"

"Grandpa Told Me So"



If you don't get in the water you're never gonna learn to swim
He said a snake is just as scared of you as you are of him
He could tell by the moon when the fish would bite
Seems there was nothing that he didn't know
And as a kid I believed 'cause Grandpa told me so

He talked Daddy into letting me have my first car
I thought I was really something 'til Becky Thompson broke my heart
That first taste of love nearly did me in
Getting over her slow
And I knew someday I would 'cause Grandpa told me so

He said life is made for you to live
The best love is the love that you give
There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go
And I live by those words 'cause Grandpa told me so

I promissed him I wouldn't cry when it was his time to leave
That's the only promise I made him I couldn't keep
He smiled from his bed and said we'll meet again
Somewhere down the road
And I believe 'cause Grandpa told me so

He said life is made for you to live
The best love is the love that you give
There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go
And I live by those words 'cause Grandpa told me so

He said life is made for you to live
The best love is the love that you give
There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go
And I live by those words 'cause Grandpa told me so

Yeah and I still believe
Grandpa told me so
Grandpa told me so
I still believe
Grandpa told me so
I still believe

"Guitars And Tiki Bars"

"Guitars And Tiki Bars"



Tired of my beeper, tired of my phone
Tired of this tired ol' tie I got on
Sick of this traffic jam that I'm in
We all get sick of it all now and then
When I've had it up to here
I go down there

To guitars, tiki bars and a whole lotta love
Mangoes and Marley, you know, fit me like a glove
Sixth gear with nowhere to steer
When enough is enough
It's guitars, tiki bars and a whole lotta love

I feel like a fish jerked out of the sea
Or a bird in a cage that's never seen a key
Sick of this grind and I think that I ought
To bring this grind to a grinding halt
Now I've had it up to here
Let's go down there

To guitars, tiki bars and a whole lotta love
Mangoes and Marley, you know, fit me like a glove
Sixth gear with nowhere to steer
When enough is enough
It's guitars, tiki bars and a whole lotta love

Now I've had it up to here
Let's go down there

To guitars, tiki bars and a whole lotta love
Mangoes and Marley, you know, fit me like a glove
Sixth gear with nowhere to steer
When enough is enough
It's guitars, tiki bars and a whole lotta love

"Happy On The Hey Now (A Song For Kristi)"

"Happy On The Hey Now (A Song For Kristi)"



Your spirit will live here forever,
The sea will echo your gypsy soul.
You will always bring us together, this much I know.
Oh, your smile was as big as this island,
You could drown in your eyes of blue.
You were friend of a friend and someone, I'm glad I knew.

I'll always see you dancing, up there on the bow
Living life in the moment, happy on the hey now.
And you'll live with us as long as, memories stay alive,
And you left us with so many, Kristi
You will never die... never die...
You will never die... never die...

I hope time can be our healer, maybe time can be a friend,
Still I'm a strong believer, someday we'll see you again,
Where the sun is on our faces and the wind is at our back,
Sailing south to our favorite places, where the water's calm and flat.

'Til then we'll always see you dancing, up there on the bow
Living life in the moment, happy on the hey now.
And you'll live with us as long as, memories stay alive,
And you left us with so many, Kristi
You will never die... never die...

Our circle of friends, we're sad that you're gone,
We celebrate your life with stories and a song.
Somehow you will keep us strong.

And we'll always see you dancing, up there on the bow
Living life in the moment, happy on the hey now.
And you'll live with us as long as, memories stay alive,
And you left us with so many, Kristi
You will never die... never die...
(Left us with so many, Kristi)
You will never die... never die...
(Left us with so many, Kristi...)

Left us with so many, Kristi

"Hemingway's Whiskey"

"Hemingway's Whiskey"



Hemingway's whiskey, warm and smooth and mean
Even when it burns, it'll always finish clean
He didn't like it watered down, he took it straight up and neat
If it was bad enough for him, you know it's bad enough for me

Hemingway's whiskey

Ah, it's tough out there, a good muse is hard to find
Living one word to the next, one line at a time
There's more to life than whiskey, there's more to words than rhyme
Sometimes nothing works, sometimes nothing shines

Like Hemingway's whiskey

Sail away, sail away, three sheets to the wind
Live hard, die hard, this one's for him

Hemingway's whiskey, warm and smooth and mean
Even when it burns, it'll always finish clean
He didn't like it watered down, he took it straight up and neat
If it was bad enough for him, you know it's bad enough for me

Hemingway's whiskey
Hemingway's whiskey
Hemingway's whiskey

"High And Dry"

"High And Dry"



last night I think I put that homefire out,
I came in late and lit to a cold dark house.
I guess she thinks she's got me good this time
She took all of hers and most of mine.

She left me High
but I ain't dry
I've got beer
and tears to cry
Well I should be feeling low
Up that creek that we all know
Yeah that woman left me high
but I ain't dry

Say hey bartender fill 'er up again
let's just keep me in the shape i'm in
and if I can't get her memory to drown
uh oh
Well I'll take it for a swim all over town

She left me high
but I ain't dry
I've got beer
and tears to cry
Well I should be feeling low
up that creek that we all know
yeah that woman left me high
but I ain't dry

Well, I should be feeling low
up that creek that we all know
yeah that woman left me high
but I ain't dry
