Overrated

Rivers Rutherford - Shane McAnally - Josh Osborne

This rock we're rolling on
Is like a circus ride that don't last long
Round and round we go and then we're gone
We waste time chasing ghosts
And overlook the things that matter most
We get so caught up in the maybes
Just trying to be somebody baby
While we're slowly going crazy

Building up a stack of bones
Keeping up with the Jones
Getting us all so jacked and jaded
Baby if you're asking me
Love is really all we need
Everything else is overrated overrated

We amputate the heart
Cause we can't let 'em see the broken part
Water down the wine and jump the shark
We build our castles tall
Just so we can have the higher walls
It don't matter where you came from
Or where it is you get your name from
We're going down if we don't change some

Building up a stack of bones...

We're all running after something
But if it ain't love it's nothing

It don't matter where you came from
Or where it is you get your name from
We're going down if we don't change some
I'm talking 'bout a ball of flames son

Building up a stack of bones...
Overrated overrated overrated

City Lights

Deric Ruttan - Jonathan Singleton

She was like a brand new song on an old guitar
Supernova in a Mason jar
Every boy in town wanted to show her around
As a dirt road fence row kudzu king
Beating along this American dream
Wrecked out the truck when she showed up
She had a fire inside her faraway eyes
And I knew just where to take her that night

And we got high on top of that ridge
We could see for miles past the corn and the cotton and the river bridge
When the sun went down there she was
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust
I'm a cigarette burning slow on a summer night
She's city lights

She's like a broken heart you can't wait to have
A shooting star that falls too fast
Try holding on it's already gone
I searched that radio low and high
Trying to find a song to make a memory by
And I did alright for a small town guy
But even in my arms I knew
I'd never shine as bright as her city lights do

We got high on top of that ridge
We could see for miles past the corn and the cotton and the river bridge
When the sun went down there she was
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust
I'm a cigarette burning slow on a summer night
She's city lights

We got high on top of that ridge
We could see for miles past the corn and the cotton and the river bridge
And when the sun went down there she was
Shinning like a big old sky full of diamond dust
I'm a cigarette burning slow on a summer night
She's city lights she's city lights

She's my city lights city lights
She's my city lights city lights
She's my city lights city lights
She's my city lights city lights
She's my city lights city lights

Shotgun Rider

Hillary Lindsey - Troy Verges - Marv Green

Roll won't you come roll with me
Slow fast full speed
Girl wherever sweet time takes us
Hang with me down this old road
Only God knows where we'll go
Don't matter long as I've got your love

I don't ever wanna wake up
Looking into someone else's eyes
Another voice calling me baby
On the other end of the phone
A new girl putting on her makeup
For a dinner on a Friday night
No I don't ever wanna know
No other shotgun rider beside me
Singing to the radio

Slide slide over nice and close
Lay your head down on my shoulder
You can fall asleep I'll let you dream
Life ain't nothing but a dream
Don't wanna be
Cruising through this dream without you

I don't ever wanna wake up
Looking into someone else's eyes
Another voice calling me baby
On the other end of the phone
A new girl putting on her make-up
For a dinner on a Friday night
No I don't ever wanna know
No other shotgun rider beside me
Singing to the radio
No other shotgun rider

Dust

Rodney Clawson - Ben Hayslip - Rhett Akins

It's rolling in the wind you can see it in the air
Where I come from man it's everywhere
Coming up in a cloud behind a one way plow
Colors up the sky when the sun goes down

Oh drifting up and down that main street drag
Oh may even wrote her name with it up on the dash

Dust in the rear view in the cedar
Dust on the bottle coming out of them speakers
Dust on my boots dust on my truck
Probably got a little running in my blood
From the road I ride with that laid back seat
She's sitting in on the passenger side
Everything I know everything I love
Is covered up in dust

When the moon comes up it kind of settles on down
But we stir it back up when we're riding around
Dust on the top of a cold beer can
Before I take a sip I wipe it off with my hand

Oh couple of days without no rain
Oh she can spot me coming from a mile away

Dust in the rear view in the cedar
Dust on the bottle coming out of them speakers
Dust on my boots dust on my truck
Probably got a little running in my blood
From the road I ride with that laid back seat
She's sitting in on the passenger side
Everything I know everything I love
Is covered up in dust

Oh drifting up and down that main street drag
Oh may even wrote her name with it up on the dash

Dust in the rear view in the cedar...

Is covered up in dust is covered up in dust
Is covered up in dust

Diamond Rings And Old Barstools

Barry Dean - Jonathan Singleton - Luke Laird

with Catherine Dunn

Diamond rings and old barstools
One's for queens and one's for fools
One's the future and one's the past
One's forever and one won't last

It ain't like midnight and cigarette smoke
It ain't like watered down whiskey and Coke
I guess some things just don't mix like you hoped
Like me and you and diamond rings and old barstools

The wrongs and rights, the highs and lows
The I love you's the I told you so's
Past few miles to wherever's home
Another morning waking up alone

It ain't like midnight and cigarette smoke
It ain't like watered down whiskey and Coke
I guess some things just don't mix like you hoped
Like me and you and diamond rings and old barstools

We ain't like midnight and cigarette smoke
Nothing like watered down whiskey and Coke
I guess some things just don't mix like you hoped
Like me and you and diamond rings and old barstools

Words Are Medicine

Tom Douglas - David Hodges - Zac Maloy

For the light sleeper the street sweeper
Promise breaker promise keeper
The astronaut the acrobat
The underdog who is coming back
Maybe you're hooked on Phonics or Mary Jane
Coca-Cola or cocaine
We're just a different kind of the same yeah
Sticks and stones can break you

But words are medicine words are medicine
When I'm black and blue I'm broken and bruised
I hear your voice again words are medicine

The beautician the mortician the blindsided the night vision
The baptized the chicken fried the rolled tide the unforgiven
For the girl who's lost in romance novels
The guy who sees through whiskey goggles
We're just a different kind of the same yeah
Sticks and stones can break you

But words are medicine words are medicine...

I do I will I believe in you still
I have a dream imagine a shiny city on a hill
I'm sorry forgive me I love you I love you

Words are medicine words are medicine...

Words are medicine when we're black and blue
We're broken and bruised I hear your song my friend
And words are medicine words are medicine
Words are medicine words are medicine

Sick Of Me

Jonathan Singleton - Andrew Dorff

You're probably sipping lemonade and reading Hemingway
Underneath that tree out back in that same house
Where all that love was made
I'm sinking down on some corduroy couch
Empty bottles all around quarter after two
And I'm still trying to start my day

Maybe I should call you up right out of the blue
Maybe you'll pick up and maybe I'll get through this time
Cause all I wanna tell you is you were right
And I miss you and I'm sick of me too

My wandering eye my little white lies
All the hell I've raised
All the times I made you cry like rain
Tired of looking at myself wishing I was someone else
Tired of nothing to lose tired of nothing left
I've been thinking lately maybe it's time to change

Maybe I should call you up right out of the blue
Maybe you'll pick up and maybe I'll get through this time
Cause all I wanna tell you is you were right
I miss you and I'm sick of me too

I wanna be your everything not just a bad memory
I'd rather be your sweet dream come true
I'm sick of me too

Maybe I should call you up right out of the blue
Maybe you'll pick up and maybe I'll get through this time
'Cause all I wanna tell you is you were right

Maybe I should call you up right out of the blue
Maybe you'll pick up and maybe I'll get through this time
Cause all I wanna tell you is you were right
And I miss you and I'm sick of me too

I'm sick of me too yeah I'm sick of me
And I'm sick of me too

Meanwhile Back At Mama's

Jeffrey Steele - Tom Douglas - Jaren Johnston

with Faith Hill

Running round in this new truck
Bank lets me borrow from month to month
I'm running out of credit find a little Cash on the radio
Standing still they're blowing past
Numbers on cars going Nascar fast
What I wouldn't give for a slow down don't ya know
Cause where I come from only the horses run
When the day is done we take it easy

Meanwhile back at Mama's
The porch light's on come on in if you wanna
Supper's on the stove and beer's in the fridge
Red sun sinking out low on the ridge
Game's on the tube and Daddy smokes cigarettes
Whiskey keeps his whistle wet
Funny the things you thought you'd never miss
In a world gone crazy as this

Well I found a girl and we don't fit in here
Talk about how hard it is to breathe here
Even with the windows down can't catch a southern breeze here
One of these days gonna pack it up and leave here

Cause meanwhile back at Mama's...

Oh I miss yeah a little dirt on the road
I miss corn growing in a row
I miss being somebody everybody knows
There everybody knows everybody
I miss those small-town routes
Walking around in muddy boots
The sound of rain on an old tin roof
It's time we head on back

Cause meanwhile back at Mama's
The for sale sign's going up and I'm gonna
Dump this truck and the little I got
On a loan to own and a three-acre lot
Put supper on the stove and beer in the fridge
Going for broke and we're gonna be rich
Watch the sun setting on the ridge
Baby tell me what you think about this

Me and you back at Mama's
Yeah me and you back at Mama's

Keep On Truckin'

Blair Daly - Brad Warren - Brett Warren - Tim McGraw

So your top don't pop and your roll don't rock
The clock don't stop cause your feet don't feel the groove
Your high feels low and your cash don't flow
Get up and go It just ain't in the mood

So put your arm out the window let your hand start surfing
Ain't no thing everything ain't working
Throw a little love till the world stops hurting
Keep on keep on keep on
Everybody's going through a little something something
Sing a little song with a guitar strumming
Smile on ya brother heard the good Lord's coming
Keep on keep on keep on keep on trucking

So your dog don't bark and your flame don't spark
Your old broken heart just can't catch a break
So your flop don't flip cause your hop don't hip
And those suds ya sip can't take the pain away

So put your arm out the window let your hand start surfing
Ain't no thing everything ain't working
Throw a little love till the world stops hurting
Keep on keep on keep on
Everybody's going through a little something something
Sing a little song with a guitar strumming
Smile on ya brother heard the good Lord's coming
Keep on keep on keep on keep on trucking
Keep on keeping on keep on riding down that rocky roads you're rolling on

So put your arm out the window let your hand start surfing
Ain't no thing everything ain't working
Throw a little love till the world stops hurting
Keep on keep on keep on
Everybody's going through a little something something
Sing a little song with a guitar strumming
Smile on ya brother heard the good Lord's coming
Keep on keep on keep on keep on trucking
Yeah keep on trucking

Put your arm out the window let it go where the wind blows
Keep on trucking

Last Turn Home

Ryan Hurd - Maren Morris - Eric Arjes

Somewhere familiar a safe place to land
That feeling you get when you finally come back
I got all these burdens rolling 'round in my head
Once I round that corner girl you put 'em all to rest

I can feel it feel it
Got the wheels spinning spinning
Pulling me in like I've been here all along
Like I was never gone

Oh Oh Thank God that we don't have to be alone
Closer I get the more that my heart knows
You're like that last turn home
That last turn home

And my life and my mind jumped right off the track
You are the one place I don't need a map
I can almost see it see it
Baby I need it need it
Hold me in your arms like you're never gonna let me go
And never let me go

Oh thank God that we don't have to be alone
Closer I get the more that my heart knows
You're like that last turn home
That last turn home

I can feel it feel it
Got the wheels spinning spinning
Pulling me in like I've been here all along
Like I was never gone

I can almost see it see it
Baby I need it need it
Hold me in your arms like you're never gonna let me go
And never let me go

Oh thank God that we don't have to be alone
Closer I get the more that my heart knows
You're like that last turn home
That last turn home
That last turn home

Portland Maine

Donovan Woods - Abe Stoklasa

I don't want to be talking on the phone every night
Six p.m which timezone yours or mine
Ain't gonna worry where you are who you're with
Let's just agree this is it

Portland Maine I don't know where that is
Leave your bags in the car keep it running
I won't pretend that I won't miss this
But Portland Maine I don't know where that is
And I don't want to know I don't want to know

See I'm just saving us some trouble somewhere down the line
This kind of town you just leave behind
And you don't know it yet but you won't come back
And I ain't going nowhere and you know that

Portland Maine I don't know where that is
Leave your bags in the car keep it running
I won't pretend that I won't miss this
But Portland Maine I don't know where that is

And you can go ahead and hate me that's just fine
It doesn't matter either way I'm right

Portland Maine I don't know where that is...

I don't want to know I don't want to know
I don't want to know
Portland Maine I don't know where that is

Still On The Line

Bob DiPiero - Steven McMorran - Jon Nite

Are you still there I've got a bad connection
It's pouring rain 2 a.m
And I'm in the middle of nowhere

I don't know what to say (I'm saying it)
I don't know what to do (I'm doing it)
All I really know is I know I need you I need you

I just called to hear you breathing
Your last words before you're sleeping
I can't sleep without your body next to mine
Yeah I know I'm always leaving
Breaking your heart breaking even
I'm just a number in the middle of the night
But I'm still on the line
I'm still on the line
I'm still on the line

Am I lonely yeah of course I am
Smoke green nights and red tail lights
Got me slowly going crazy

I don't know what to say (I'm saying it)
I don't know what to do (I'm doing it)
All I really know is I know I need you I need you

I just called to hear you breathing
Your last words before your sleeping
I can't sleep without your body next to mine
Yeah I know I'm always leaving
Breaking your heart breaking even
I'm just a number in the middle of the night
But I'm still on the line
I'm still on the line
I'm still on the line

I just called to hear you breathing...
