Last Dollar (Fly Away)

Big Kenny

1-2-3 like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
I'm so glad you're here today
Cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away

Hey I'm down to my last dollar I've walk right though my shoes
Just a small reminder of the hell that I've gone through
But look at me still smiling as I'm wondering what I'll do
Since I ain't got nothing I've got nothing to lose
Everybody say ha ha ha

My friends are always giving me watches hats and wine
That's how I know this is serious that's how I know it's time
I don't have to worry about things that I don't have
Cause if I ain't got nothing I've got nothing to hold me back

1-2-3 like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
I'm so glad you're here today
Cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away
Fly away fly away

There's nothing that's worth keeping me from places I should go
From Happyville to loving land I'm going to tour from coast to coast
I'm leaving everything behind there's not much that I need
Cause If I ain't got nothing I'm footloose and fancy free

1-2-3 like a bird I sing...

Look at me so free nothings holding me down
Look at me so free can't keep my feet on the ground

1-2-3 like a bird I sing...
1-2-3 like a bird I sing...

I'm Workin'

Darrell Scott - Lori McKenna

Damn I hope no one dies on this night shift tonight
Always lit up like a Roman candle
Everybody comes in like they're looking for a fight
I'll have to tell his family as he rides off to Heaven
Then twenty minutes later I'm drinking my coffee down at the Seven Eleven
I'm working yeah I'm working

All these truckers out here drive with one hand on the wheel and a cell phone to their ear
Apologizing for something they missed or can't get to I'm sorry to my dear
Yeah but that's the way it goes and we sure need the money
This life of ours is far from perfect ain't it honey
But I'm working baby I'm working

So make the kids do their homework before you put 'em to bed
And there's dinner in the fridge make sure everybody gets fed
And I know I won't get to see you before you leave for your day
I guess it's the only time that we get to say I love you
Baby I love you

Show the last kids on the school bus as I lay me down to sleep
And I keep hurrying and worrying and wondering and praying
For all my soul can keep I know I couldn't do it if you weren't there
There'd be no home to come home to no reason to care

So I just had to call you before I faded away
I guess it's the only time that we get to say I love you
Baby I love you I love you I love you
Damn I hope no one dies on this night shift tonight

Let It Go

Aimee Mayo - Bill Luther - Tom Douglas

I've been caught sideways out here on the crossroads
Trying to buy back the pieces I lost of my soul
It's hard when the devil won't get off your back
It's like carrying around the past in a hundred pound sack

Today I'm gonna keep on walking I'm gonna hold my head up high
I'm gonna leave it all behind today I'm gonna stand out in the rain
Let it wash it all away Yeah Wash it all away
I'm gonna let it go oh yeah I'm gonna let it go oh yeah

Skeletons and ghosts are hiding in the shadows
Threatening me with all the things that they know
Choices and mistakes they all know my name
But I'm through holding in and holding onto all that pain

Today I'm gonna keep on walking I'm gonna hold my head up high...

I know I know I know I've been forgiven
I know I know I know I'm gonna start living

Today I'm gonna keep on walking I'm gonna hold my head up high...

Whiskey And You

Chris Stapleton - Lee Miller

There's a bottle on the dresser by your ring
And it's empty so right now I don't feel a thing
I'll be hurting when I wake up on the floor
And I'll be over it by noon
And that's the difference between the whiskey and you

Come tomorrow I can walk in any store
It ain't a problem yeah they'll always sell me more
But your forgiveness is something I can't buy
Ain't a thing that I can do
And that's the difference between the whiskey and you

One's the devil and one keeps driving me insane
At times I wonder if they ain't both the same
One's a liar that helps hide me from my pain
And one's a long hard bitter truth
And that's the difference between the whiskey and you

I've got a problem but it ain't like what you think
I drink cause I'm lonesome and I'm lonesome cause I drink
If I don't break down and bring it on myself
It'll hit right out of the blue
That's the difference between the whiskey and you

One's the devil and one keeps driving me insane
At times I wonder if they ain't both the same
One's a liar that helps hide me from my pain
And one's a long hard bitter truth
And that's the difference between the whiskey and you
Yeah that's the difference between the whiskey and you

Suspicions

Eddie Rabbitt - Even Stevens - David Malloy

© Briarpatch Music, BMI

I'm so glad that I met you baby
I'm so proud when we walk in the room
I know it's crazy to worry like I do
I get this feeling that I'm losing you

I get these suspicions even though I know that you love me baby
And I really shouldn't feel this way
Ooh suspicions I can't help it you're just so good looking
I'm afraid somebody's gonna steal you away from me

When I go out to a party with you
You always turn every head in the room
I just know what's on every man's mind
I try to fight it but it gets me sometimes

I get these suspicions even though I know that you love me baby...

Ooh suspicions

When I'm with you I feel so satisfied
The way you touch me when you lay by my side
That look in your eyes when we make love
Makes me hate myself for what I'm thinking of

I get these suspicions even though I know that you love me baby...

Suspicions even though I know that you love me baby
And I really shouldn't feel this way
Ooh suspicions I can't help it you're just so good looking
I'm afraid somebody's gonna steal you away from me
Suspicions oh baby oh darling

Cause I love her cause I love her
I love her and she loves me
Ain't nobody gonna take my girl from me

Kristofferson

Anthony Smith - Reed Nielsen

I just walked in and you were gone to your Mama's I suppose
It looks like you won't be back so I thought you ought to know
I found that note you left today it only took you half a page
I'm gonna grab my old guitar take a pencil from the jar and fill in the empty space

I'm gonna tell you how I feel straight up genuine and real
Open a bottle of ninety proof and write a song for you like Kristofferson would do

In each line you're gonna hear it's my fault and I miss you
I know it won't be in time it may not even rhyme
But all it has to be is true

I'm gonna tell you how I feel straight up genuine and real
Open a bottle of ninety proof and write a song for you like Kristofferson would do

I'm gonna tell you how I feel straight up genuine and real
Open a bottle of ninety proof and write a song for you like Kristofferson would do

I'm gonna drink this bottle of ninety proof and sing this song for you
Like Kristofferson would do

Put Your Lovin' On Me

Hillary Lindsey - Luke Laird

There's nothing here to catch me now
I'm gonna fall anyway it's just that kinda day
You might not know me good but you know me good enough
To make me okay okay

Just close your eyes and put your loving on me
Put your loving on me take this weight off me
And put your loving on me

There's a chance that you might see something rolling off my cheek
But don't stop it's not you
Make me forget be my drug get me high on your touch
For the night alright

Just close your eyes and put your loving on me...

Put your loving on me put your loving on me
Put your loving on me put your loving on me
Take this weight off me and put your loving on me

Nothin' To Die For

Craig Wiseman - Lee Miller

Stopped to have a few at five
Now you're crossing that center line for the third time
Second time like this this week had a friend ask you for your keys
You said no I'm fine
You sure do act like you don't got a thing to lose
But every car you pass might be the ones you take with you

You'd give your last breath to your wife take a bullet for your kids
Lay your life down for your country for your Jesus for your friends
There's a whole lot of things you say you're living for
You've got to fight it somehow stop and turn around
Cause this ain't nothing to die for

So what's the harm in a little fun
Cause you're off to work before the sun every day
And the inbox locks you in and the money you make
Ain't worth the time you spend to make your pay
The doctor says man your numbers They don't lie
The graveyard's full of folks that didn't have time to die

You'd give your last breath to your wife take a bullet for your kids...

Straight through that guardrail up into that white light
You hear a sweet voice saying just this side of the other side
Just this side of the other side

You'd give your last breath to your wife take a bullet for your kids...

Ain't nothing to die for nothing to die for
Ain't nothing to die for

Between The River And Me

Brett Beavers - Brad Warren - Brett Warren

I was fifteen when my daddy died
Mama worked two jobs just to get by
Seemed like a blessing when Harley came around
So she took his name but I had my doubts

Didn't take long for his drinking ways
To start showing up on mama's face
One violent night hiding under my bed
I swore that he wouldn't see another sunset

Next day I followed him down to the riverbank
I knew one of us wouldn't walk away

I might have had a plan but he didn't know it
I might have been scared but I didn't show it
That's all between the river and me
With the current and the rocks it could have been risky
He might have been sober but I brought the whiskey
That's all between the river and me

I walked up to him and I said his name
Just so he could see the look on my face
We stood eye to eye and toe to toe
When I told him that he wasn't gonna come back home
He raised his fist to me but I didn't flinch
I said I ain't your son you son of a bitch

I might have had a knife in my back pocket
I might have pulled it out before he saw it
That's all between the river and me
I might have had a gun but I didn't fire it
He might have tried to yell but I kept him quiet
That's all between the river and me

That's all between the river and me

Sheriff came knocking on our front door
They said they found his body by the reservoir
Bottle in his shirt and liquor in his blood
He must have fallen in the river and he never came up

There might have been blood but they never saw it
Just a little mud on the living room carpet
That's all between the river and me
Well after what he done there ain't no wonder
I can't remember how long I held him under
That's all between the river and me

That's all between the river and me
That's all between the river and me
That's all that's all

Train No. 10

Brad Warren - Brett Warren - Tim McGraw

I'm gonna ride that iron horse into the sun
I'm gonna say goodbye to you and all the things you've done
I used to be afraid but I know today's the day

I'll take the last train I can find just in case I want to change my mind
The last one out is number nine but here I am just biding time again
Waiting on train number ten

One more drag off one more cigarette I've made up my mind but I ain't ready yet
Cause if that devil hits those tracks I know that I can't come back

I'll take the last train I can find just in case I want to change my mind
The last one out is number nine but here I am humming misery and gin
Waiting on train number ten

It's getting late maybe tonight she won't show up and change my mind

I'll take the last train I can find just in case I want to change my mind
The last one out is number nine but here I am just spitting in the wind
Waiting on train number ten train number ten

I Need You

David Lee - Tony Lane

with Faith Hill

I wanna drink that shot of whiskey I wanna smoke that cigarette
I wanna smell that sweet addiction on my breath
I wanna ride across West Virginia in the backseat of a Cadillac
You know some cowboys like me go out like that so I need you

Like a needle needs a vein like my Uncle Joe in Oklahoma needs a rain
I need you like a lighthouse on the coast
Like the father and the son meet the holy ghost I need you

I wanna get lost in some corner booth Cantina Mexico
I wanna dance to the static of an AM radio
I wanna wrap the moon around us and lay beside you skin on skin
Make love till the sun comes up till the sun goes down again
Cause I need you

Like a needle needs a vein like my Uncle Joe in Oklahoma needs a rain
I need you like a lighthouse on the coast
Like the father and the son meet the holy ghost
I need you oh I need you

I wanna drink that shot of whiskey I wanna smoke that cigarette
You know some cowboys like me go out like that
So I need you oh I need you
I need you I need you I need you I need you

Oh I need you I need you I need you I need you
I need you I need you I need you too

Comin' Home

Rivers Rutherford - Steve McEwan

Say goodbye to old man winter say hello to sweet springtime
Cause I'm coming out of hiding I'm gonna get it right this time
After so long being frozen it took a while to thaw me out
I spent too long not knowing what love's supposed to be about
Now I'm finding out

It's a lot like coming home from a long time walking out in the snow
Then I looked at you and knew I never knew nothing and it broke this heart of stone
It's a lot like coming home

Like a boat out on the harbor that's been battered by the sea
I've been through some stormy weather but you shine a light for me
Girl you set me free

It's a lot like coming home from a long time walking out in the snow
Then I looked at you and knew I never knew nothing and it broke this heart of stone
It's a lot like coming home

Girl I looked at you and knew I never knew nothing and it broke this heart of stone
It's a lot like coming home

Coming home feels like I'm coming home

Shotgun Rider

Jeffrey Steele - Anthony Smith - Sherrie Austin

with Faith Hill

Horses are running wide open I just gotta ride
To those honky tonk bars that stay open way past closing time
Songs about free thinking and drinking sure light my fire
That flame leaves a scar on my heart like an old branding iron

She said Rodeo man where are you going
Don't you know that the life of a cowboy is no good alone
If you tear down that fence of rusty barbed wire
Then I'll lay down beside you and be your shotgun rider

Yesterday's nothing but dust I brush off my boots
While I'm wearing out roads don't you know that I'm sure missing you
If I leave you'll be wondering when I'll be back again
Between Texas and ranchers and old friends where do you fit in

She said Rodeo man where are you going...

Come on

Hey rodeo man where are you going...

If You're Reading This

Brad Warren - Brett Warren - Tim McGraw

If you're reading this my Momma's sitting there
Looks like I only got a one way ticket over here
Sure wish I could give you one more kiss
And war was just a game we played when we were kids

I'm laying down my gun I'm hanging up my boots
I'm up here with God and we're both watching over you

So lay me down in that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul is where my Mamma always prayed
That it would go and if you're reading this
I'm already home

If you're reading this half way around the world
I won't be there to see the birth of our little girl
I hope she looks like you I hope she fights like me
Stands up for the innocent and the weak

I'm laying down my gun I'm hanging up my boots
Tell dad I don't regret that I followed in his shoes

So lay me down in that open field out on the edge of town...

If you're reading this there's going to come a day
When you'll move on and find someone else
And that's OK just remember this I'm in a better place
Where soldiers live in peace and angels sing amazing grace

So lay me down in that open field out on the edge of town...
