Pretty Little Dancer 02:59
lyrics
buy track
There's a pretty little dancer with big blue eyes From White House, Tennessee Every Tuesday night at the Honky Tonk She asks to dance with me I ain't a good dancer, an even worse romancer, but you never turn a woman down when she grabs you by the hand, you be a gentleman and you twirl that little lady around I'm much more of a barfly I'd rather count the bubbles in my beer When I see her walk on by She's got me grinnin' ear to ear All the fellas want a dance She's got them waitin' in a line Her hips put them in a trance But at the end of the night she's all mine

Goodbye, Sweetheart 03:31
lyrics

Goodbye, Sweetheart I'm sad to see you go You threw away ten years with a text on the phone I'll just sit here and drink til I forget your name And throw our wedding rings into an open flame I've been stumbling 'round this town trying to find some peace of mind Since you went and threw our love away I've been finding comfort in this bottle of gin and bourbon So I can finally find the words to say They say that love is like a ring of fire and desire But all these tears have turned it into smoke Last night I came home and caught you with another lover And these are the last words that I spoke

Despite My Sin 03:07
lyrics
buy track
No one asked to be born into this world But the Lord put us here all the same You may not understand yet my sweet baby girl But the world needed you like the crops need the rain When I look into the sky to thank the Lord above for blessing me despite my sin My one true desire was to understand love and He gifted it to me with you, Evelyn i've never known more joy in my heart than the day that you were born There's no force that can keep us apart we'll weather through every storm

Simple Truths 03:43
lyrics
buy track
I've got a coffee stain on my brand new shirt Woke up early but was late for work Traffic cleared, but I got stopped by a train Boss man's been on my back Tires are balding, windshield's cracked But when I see those blue eyes, it all fades It's game over when you look my way My tongue gets tied, can't find words to say but lucky life has these simple truths Sun's gonna rise Mama's gonna pray I'm gonna love you more each day Birds gonna sing Baby's gonna cry And I'm gonna thank God every night For these simple truths I got fourty-two cents in my bank account check's comin' tomorrow, bills will clean 'em out Sun is shining but tomorrow it's gonna rain Last week I caught a nine pound bass My six pound test nearly snapped in half I'm just glad you're not the one that got away

The Way 04:51
lyrics
buy track
I've got a friend who likes his burgers rare He sits in Dino's Diner in the back corner chair He likes his Miller Lite, he'll buy the room a round The only thing that he loves more is going Honky Tonkin' downtown I can see the kindness in a stranger holding the door Helpin' change your tire when you blow out on 24 Choppin' extra wood when it's starting to get cold For the widowed woman a little lonely down the road That's the way I want to be Sharing love with everyone that I meet Taking time to listen well To lend a hand when someone needs my help I met a woman, she follows the letters in red Helps the hurting then goes home to her wife in bed Some folks don't like that, holding high white picket signs No matter how much hate, her love is all that shines When it's time to lay me down Six feet in the cold-cold ground Bury me in my boots But pass along the love I gave to you

Don't Drink Well Whiskey in the Lonestar State 03:59
lyrics
buy track
I was running 'round in Texas tearing up the streets Telling on my stories, or maybe they were telling me I told them about the heartbreak, how them Nashville girls ain't nice I was about to order a double when they gave me some advice Lonestar Beer will taste just fine A gin and tonic or a vodka and lime A shot of tequila chased with Tequate But don't drink well whiskey in the Lone Star State I told them that my neighborhood bar the well is Buffalo Trace You should have seen the look on them old Texans' face They said that wells in Texas make Kentucky Tavern taste like Pappy's But there's plenty of other drinks that will still make you happy I was in Texarkana on my way to Tennessee To rest my head on a clean bed and fill my belly with cheap whiskey I walked in to Crazy Horse Saloon and sat on the corner stool I asked the bartender what they had so I wouldn't look like a fool

Lover's Arms 04:33
lyrics
buy track
The fire is warm now and I am waiting For you to make your way back home Someone called me to let me know That you're not coming home Why'd the weather man have to say All these snowflakes would fall today I blame the horses, I blame the whole damn farm On why I'm not in my lover's arms The fire is cinder and smoke now The room's gone cold, just like my heart I keep retracing the last words you said This morning before we had to part

Tioga Titan 04:05
lyrics
buy track
They call me the Tioga Titan Right as rain and faster than lightning I'm the toughest guy in this town Just ask the jailer or anyone else All them boys at the Grant Parish line Think that their boots got more mud than mine I bet they couldn't even survive alone in the woods for one single night Mamas don't let your sons end up like me Trapped in this toxic masculinity Pray that they find a little bit of enlightening so they don't end up like the Tioga Titan Some people say that I've got something to prove With the pistol I'm packin' and the truck that I use But how can I be showing off When I'm always in camoflauge

Broadway Lights 04:53
lyrics
buy track
Those Broadway lights are blinding You still light up every room The warmth of your lips still leave me speechless As disciples at an empty tomb The shape of your dress is astounding It finally makes its way to the floor and we do the same as you call out the name of a Savior that's here no more You pull on the strings of my heart like a kite Day after day night after night If I pull you too close, will I make you fall or if I let you go will you come back at all The morning light awakes me As it shines through the crack in the blinds We carry the weight of all the things that we hate In the love that we made last night We're harboring old heartaches We need to let that shit all go You can't reason with your own demons Wwhen they're speaking down below
