I see the sunrise creepin' in Everything changes like the desert wind Here she comes and then she's gone again And I'm just a traveller on this earth Sure as my heart's behind the pocket of my shirt I'll just keep rollin' 'til I'm in the dirt 'Cause I'm a traveller, oh, I'm a traveller I couldn't tell you honey, I don't know Where I'm goin' but I've got to go 'Cause every turn reveals some other road And I'm a traveller, oh, I'm a traveller My heartbeat's rhythm is a lonesome sound Just like the rubber turnin' on the ground Always lost and nowhere bound I'm just a traveller on this earth Sure as my heart's behind the pocket of my shirt I'll just keep rollin' 'til I'm in the dirt 'Cause I'm a traveller, oh, I'm a traveller I couldn't tell you honey, I don't know Where I'm goin' but I've got to go 'Cause every turn reveals some other road And I'm a traveller, oh, I'm a traveller When I'm gone Somebody else will have to feel this wrong Somebody else will have to sing this song Somebody else will have to sing along, sing along I'm just a traveller on this earth Sure as my heart's behind the pocket of my shirt I'll just keep rollin' 'til I'm in the dirt 'Cause I'm a traveller, oh, I'm a traveller I couldn't tell you honey, I don't know Where I'm goin' but I've got to go 'Cause every turn reveals some other road And I'm a traveller, oh, I'm a traveller
Honey, load up your questions And pick up your sticks and your stones And pretend I'm a shelter For heartaches that don't have a home Choose the words that cut like a razor All that I'll say is Fire away Take your best shot Show me what you got Honey, I'm not afraid Rear back and take aim And fire away Well, I wish I could say That I've never been here before But you know and I know That I'll always come back for more Your love might be my damnation But I'll cry to my grave Fire away Take your best shot Show me what you got Honey, I'm not afraid Rear back and take aim And fire away Oh, fire away Take your best shot Show me what you got Honey, I'm not afraid Rear back and take aim And fire away Fire away Oh, fire away Fire away
Used to spend my nights out in a bar room Liquor was the only love I've known But you rescued me from reachin' for the bottom And brought me back from being too far gone You're as smooth As Tennessee whiskey You're as sweet As strawberry wine You're as warm As a glass of brandy And honey, I stay stoned on your love All the time I've looked for love in all the same old places Found the bottom of the bottles always dry But when you poured out your heart I didn't waste it 'Cause there's nothing like your love to get me high You're as smooth As Tennessee whiskey You're as sweet As strawberry wine You're as warm As a glass of brandy And honey, I stay stoned on your love All the time You're as smooth As Tennessee whiskey You're as sweet As strawberry wine You're as warm As a glass of brandy Honey, I stay stoned on your love All the time You're as smooth As Tennessee whiskey Tennessee Whiskey Tennessee Whiskey You're as smooth As Tennessee Whiskey Tennessee whiskey Tennessee whiskey
Street lights along the highway Throwin' shadows in the dark And the memories keep on turnin' To the rhythm of a broken heart You only need a roof when it's rainin' You only need a fire when it's cold You only need a drink when the whiskey Is the only thing that you have left to hold Sun comes up and goes back down And fallin' feels like flyin' 'til you hit the ground Say the word and I'll be there for you Baby, I will be your parachute Parachute There's a song that I remember I never learned to play And a lifetime of forgotten words I never got to say You only need a roof when it's rainin' You only need a fire when it's cold You only need a drink when the whiskey Is the only thing that you have left to hold Sun comes up and goes back down And fallin' feels like flyin' 'til you hit the ground Say the word and I'll be there for you Baby, I will be your parachute Parachute If you think you're going down Just know I will be around You only need a roof when it's rainin' You only need a fire when it's cold You only need a drink when the whiskey Is the only thing that you have left to hold Sun comes up and goes back down And fallin' feels like flyin' 'til you hit the ground Say the word and I'll be there for you Baby, I will be your Baby, I will be your parachute Parachute
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 But I'll be over it by noon That's the difference between whiskey and you Come tomorrow I can walk in a store It ain't a problem They'll always sell me more It's your forgiveness Well, that's something I can't buy There ain't a thing that I can do That's the difference between whiskey and you One's the devil One keeps driving me insane At times, I wonder If they ain't both the same One's a liar That helps to hide me from my pain And one's the long gone bitter truth That's the difference between whiskey and you I've got a problem But it ain't like what you think I drink because I'm lonesome And I'm lonesome 'cause I drink But if I don't break down And bring it on myself It'll hit out of the blue That's the difference between whiskey and you One's the devil One keeps driving me insane At times, I wonder Oh, if they ain't both the same One's a liar That helps to hide me from my pain And one's the long gone bitter truth That's the difference between whiskey and you Ah, that's the difference between whiskey and you
She took down the photograph of our wedding day Ripped it down the middle Threw my half away And I got nobody to blame but me I got nobody to blame but me She broke all my fishing rods Put my guns in hock Threw my clothes out in the yard And changed out all the locks And I got nobody to blame but me I got nobody to blame but me I know right where I went wrong I know just what got her gone Turned my life into this country song And I got nobody to blame but me I got nobody to blame but me She fired up my old hot rod Ran it in the pond Put sugar in my John Deere I can't even mow my lawn And I got nobody to blame but me I got nobody to blame but me She built her a bonfire With my old six string Took all my good whiskey Poured it down the drain And I got nobody to blame but me I got nobody to blame but me I know right where I went wrong I know just what got her gone Turned my life into this country song And I got nobody to blame but me I got nobody to blame but me Nobody to blame but me I got nobody to blame but me
When I think of you and the first time we met And I heard the sound of your sweet gentle voice My heart took me over and gave me no choice And right then I knew It makes me want more of you Again and again I fall more in love with you Than I've ever been From the moment you wake me up 'Til you kiss me goodnight Everything that you do It makes me want more of you When I look at you now that years have gone by I think of the memories that time can't erase And all of the smiles that you've brought to my face Your love's been so true It makes me want more of you Again and again I fall more in love with you Than I've ever been From the moment you wake me up 'Til you kiss me goodnight Everything that you do It makes me want more of you When I leave this earth you'll be holding my hand And it gives me comfort to know you'll be there And I'll thank the Lord for the love that we've shared You're heaven to me It makes me want more of you Again and again I fall more in love with you Than I've ever been From the moment you wake me up 'Til you kiss me goodnight Everything that you do It makes me want more of you Everything that you do It makes me want more of you
I was looking for a change of scene You were looking at a magazine It was red carpets and limousines And the grass seemed so much greener All we wanted was to get there fast So, we packed up everything we had Running on hope and a tank of gas Like dreams ain't just for dreamers We couldn't wait to leave that life behind Trying to find salvation in that city limit sign And one of those LA nights When the stars come out Oh, the stars come out and shine And they burn so bright They drown the downtown lights When the stars come out Oh, when the stars come out Everybody's somebody someday Everybody's got a part to play Everybody's trying to find a way To say, what needs saying Everybody's got a friend of a friend Somebody that can get you in Begging angels for a sin In the game that we're all playing You and I, we're gamblers holding cards that we can't see And I'm betting on you and you're betting on me And one of those LA nights When the stars come out Oh, the stars come out and shine And they burn so bright They drown the downtown lights When the stars come out Oh, when the stars come out Down on the freeway, the sun is out of sight And I got a feeling tonight might be the night Yeah, tonight might be the night One of those LA nights When the stars come out Oh, the stars come out and shine And they burn so bright They drown the downtown lights When the stars come out Oh, when the stars come out When the stars come out, oh When the stars come out
(One, two, three, four) Daddy doesn't pray anymore I guess he's finished talking to the Lord He used to fold his hands and bow his head down to the floor But daddy doesn't pray anymore I remember even when the times were bad He thanked Jesus for everything he had For a good wife and three children And the food upon our plates Yeah, everything was right when he said, grace Daddy doesn't pray anymore I guess he's finished talking to the Lord He used to fold his hands and bow his head down to the floor But daddy doesn't pray anymore There was a time when we didn't get along 'Cause I thought I was right and he was wrong Still when I laid down at night I'd hear him get down on his knees And say a little prayer for me Daddy doesn't pray anymore I guess he's finished talking to the Lord He used to fold his hands and bow his head down to the floor But daddy doesn't pray anymore Today I followed daddy down to church And listened to the preacher read God's word We sang his favorite hymn but daddy didn't make a sound And this afternoon we'll lay him in the ground Daddy doesn't pray anymore I guess he's finally walking with the Lord He used to fold his hands and bow his head down to the floor But daddy doesn't pray anymore
Well, she said she didn't love me And kicked me out the door Now I'm livin' in one room And sleepin' on the floor I think I'm gonna kick my boots off And put some music on And since I'm all alone I might as well get stoned I might as well get stoned And get it off my mind Ain't got a thing to do All I got is time The bottle's all I've had To be a friend of mine And since my whiskey's gone I might as well get stoned Every time I watch the TV Another soldier dies Another brother's gone Another mother cries Now I know they've got a job to do But if I had one wish I wish they'd all come home So we could all get stoned I might as well get stoned And get it off my mind Ain't got shit to do All I got is time The bottle's all I've had To be a friend of mine And since my whiskey's gone I might as well get stoned Might as well get stoned Oh, might as well get stoned Ooh-aah-aah Might as well get stoned
Livin' hard was easy when I was young and bullet proof I had no chains to bind me, just a guitar and a roof Emptied every bottle, when I poured I never missed I had blood shot eyes at twenty-five or was it twenty-six? Didn't seem to matter what price I had to pay 'Cause anything worth havin', I'd just lose anyway Friends worried about me they'd asked if I was sick Thought I wouldn't die at twenty-five or was it twenty-six? Those two years run together like whiskey over ice Melted into memories like somebody else's life I'm glad to say, I've come around But if I could have one wish I'd like another try at twenty-five or was it twenty six? Met a girl from Georgia, smart and pretty, college grad I thought my luck was changin' but then it all went bad I guess I fell in love with her, all it took was just one kiss But then she said goodbye at twenty-five or was it twenty-six? Those two years run together like whiskey over ice Melted into memories like somebody else's life I'm glad to say, I've come around But if I could have one wish I'd like another try at twenty-five or was it twenty-six? I've been down that road before almost as far as hell Deception or redemption, I guess only time will tell I have faith in the knowledge that God gave us a gift I couldn't hide at twenty-five or was it twenty-six? Those two years run together like whiskey over ice Melted into memories like somebody else's life I'm glad to say, I've come around But if I could have one wish I'd like another try at twenty five or was it twenty-six?

Cut my teeth on Daddy's old LGO And I lost my mind somewhere in New Mexico And TW put a snake on my back I keep a redbone on my side And there's people all across the land From East Kentucky down to Alabam' Whole lotta like I am all the time In an outlaw state of mind I've got friends that know how to have a good time Yeah, they roll their own and drink Carolina shine I've seen the devil in a dark coal mine I've been higher than a Georgia pine And there's people all across the land From West Virginia to the Rio Grande Whole lotta like I am all the time all the time In an outlaw state of mind And there's people all across the land From New York out to old San Fran' Just don't give a damn all the time In an outlaw state of mind
There are days that I can walk around like I'm alright And I pretend to wear a smile on my face And I could keep the pain from comin' out of my eyes But sometimes, sometimes, sometimes I cry Cry Sometimes I cry When I can't do nothing else Everybody keeps tellin' me to move on Oh but I can't seem to go anywhere without you Cause ever since, and every single night you been gone Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes I cry Cry Sometimes I cry When I can't do nothing else Sometimes I cry Sometimes I cry Sometimes I cry When I can't do nothing else
Seen my share of Broken halos Folded wings that used to fly They've all gone Wherever they go Broken halos that used to shine Angels come down From the heavens Just to help us on our way Come to teach us Then they leave us And they find some other soul to save Seen my share of Broken halos Folded wings that used to fly They've all gone Wherever they go Broken halos that used to shine Broken halos that used to shine Don't go looking For the reasons Don't go asking Jesus why? We're not meant to know the answers They belong to the by and by They belong to the by and by Seen my share of Broken halos Folded wings that used to fly They've all gone Wherever they go Broken halos that used to shine Broken halos that used to shine Broken halos that used to shine Broken halos that used to shine
The postman delivered A "past due" bill notice The alarm clock rang two hours late The garbage man left all the trash On the sidewalk And the hinges fell off of the gate And this morning at breakfast I spilled all the coffee And I opened the door on my knee But the last thing I needed The first thing this morning Was to have you walk out on me Last night you came home late And I knew you'd been drinking By that old mellow look on your face I thought, "It don't matter Because it's the holiday season" And you fill such a big empty space But then I laid down beside you And I wanted your loving Because your love makes my life complete But the last thing I needed The first thing this morning Was to have you walk out on me So excuse me for looking Like my world just ended And excuse me for looking Like I just lost my best friend And excuse me for loving And being forgiving So just go on if you want to be free But the last thing I needed The first thing this morning Was to have you walk out on me But the last thing I needed The first thing this morning Was to have you walk out on me

Well, he came from Northern Ireland Searchin' for the free man's ground And he came to bet his fortune On a West Virginia plow He built a house of timber And raised a redhead son Then they worked the land together And prayed the rain would come There's a scarecrow in the garden That looks like Lucifer And I've been readin' Revelations With my bare feet in the river Well, the readhead son got older And took a brown eyed wife And the fields were green as dollars 'Cause the dirt was black as night I came in late September The youngest one of three And my sisters off and married So the land was left to me There's a scarecrow in the garden That looks like Lucifer And I've been readin' Revelations With my bare feet in the river I know every single fence post Every rock to go around I've been starin' at the red oak Where I know they'll lay me down The fields ain't what they once were The rains just seem to flood And I've been thinkin' 'bout that river Wonderin' how it turns to blood I've been sittin' here all mornin' I was sittin' here all night There's a Bible in my left hand And a pistol in my right

I can see what's coming for me By the way that it's bending the pines Brother, me and these eighteen wheels Are gonna hammer on down the line Flying like a bat out of hell Tearing out of North Alabama Signs are saying, Jesus Saves But the devil don't give a damn Tryin' to keep all the rubber on 65 Might not make it out alive White knuckling the wheel just to survive Caught in the crosswind, caught in the crosswind Caught in the crosswind, caught in the crosswind Sometimes, what drives a man Ain't nothing but a matter of will When a man's got a heavy load He's just tryin' to make it over the hill Burning the hours taking truck-stop showers And sleeping in the cheap motels Picking up speed on a mission to feed five kids with a CDL Tryin' to keep all the rubber on 65 Might not make it out alive White knuckling the wheel just to survive Caught in the crosswind, caught in the crosswind Caught in the crosswind, caught in the crosswind It's a fight in the dark of night With another hundred miles to run When your mind starts tryin' to find ways To get you out from under the gun This livin' ain't much of a life But it's the only thing I know how to do I miss you, honey but I gotta make some money So I'm hoping I can make it through Tryin' to keep all the rubber on 65 Might not make it out alive White knuckling the wheel just to survive Caught in the crosswind, caught in the crosswind Caught in the crosswind, caught in the crosswind Caught in the crosswind, caught in the crosswind
I want you to know wherever your road wants to go I'll never be far, I'll always be right where you are If you lose your way, if your hope is gone I'll be the light that leads you home Give me your darkest hour Give me your deepest fear Just give me a call and I'll be here Give me the bars and chains that won't set you free Give me the weight of your world And lay it on me There will come a time When all the words don't seem to rhyme Please lean on me until you find the harmony When it's hard to breathe When the right seems wrong I'll be the hand that helps you along Give me your darkest hour Give me your deepest fear Just give me a call and I'll be here Give me the bars and chains that won't set you free Give me the weight of your world And lay it on me Wherever you go, wherever you've been Anytime you need a friend Give me your darkest hour Give me your deepest fear Just give me a call and I'll be here Give me the bars and chains that won't set you free Give me the weight of your world Lay it on me Oh, lay it on me Oh, lay it on me (give me the weight of your world) Just lay it on me
There's a destination, I've got a ways to go There's a revelation that I might never know Somewhere, salvation is waiting down the road So, I think I'll find a long white line Curse the world and leave it all behind I been trying all this time But still can't climb the mountains of my mind There's a testimony, that no one's ever heard There's circumstances that none of us deserves No rhyme or reason waiting 'round the curve Think I'll find a long white line Curse the world and leave it all behind I been trying all this time But still can't climb the mountains of my mind There's an empty table with a well-worn wooden chair Just waiting for me in the middle of nowhere Where no one knows me, and no one even cares I think I'll find a long white line Curse the world and leave it all behind I been trying all this time But still can't climb the mountains of my mind Yes, I been trying all this time But still can't climb the mountains of my mind Don't worry, I'll be fine But I still can't climb the mountains of my mind
Honey, load up your questions And pick up your sticks and your stones And pretend I'm a shelter For heartaches that don't have a home Choose the words that cut like a razor All that I'll say is Fire away Take your best shot Show me what you got Honey, I'm not afraid Rear back and take aim And fire away Well, I wish I could say That I've never been here before But you know and I know That I'll always come back for more Your love might be my damnation But I'll cry to my grave Fire away Take your best shot Show me what you got Honey, I'm not afraid Rear back and take aim And fire away Oh, fire away Take your best shot Show me what you got Honey, I'm not afraid Rear back and take aim And fire away Fire away Oh, fire away Fire away
Well, the road rolls out like a welcome mat To a better place than the one we're at And I ain't got no kinda plan But I've had all of this town I can stand And I got friends out on the coast We can jump in the water and see what floats We've been saving for a rainy day Let's beat the storm and be on our way And it don't matter to me Wherever we are is where I wanna be And honey, for once in our life Let's take our chances and roll the dice I can be your lucky penny, you can be my four-leaf clover Starting over This might not be an easy time There's rivers to cross and hills to climb Some days we might fall apart And some nights might feel cold and dark But nobody wins, afraid of losing And the hard roads are the ones worth choosing Someday we'll look back and smile And know it was worth every mile And it don't matter to me Wherever we are is where I wanna be And honey, for once in our life Let's take our chances and roll the dice I can be your lucky penny, you can be my four-leaf clover Starting over Starting over It don't matter to me Wherever we are is where I wanna be And honey, for once in our life Let's take our chances and roll the dice I can be your lucky penny, you can be my four-leaf clover Starting over Starting over Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Used to spend my nights out in a bar room Liquor was the only love I've known But you rescued me from reachin' for the bottom And brought me back from being too far gone You're as smooth As Tennessee whiskey You're as sweet As strawberry wine You're as warm As a glass of brandy And honey, I stay stoned on your love All the time I've looked for love in all the same old places Found the bottom of the bottles always dry But when you poured out your heart I didn't waste it 'Cause there's nothing like your love to get me high You're as smooth As Tennessee whiskey You're as sweet As strawberry wine You're as warm As a glass of brandy And honey, I stay stoned on your love All the time You're as smooth As Tennessee whiskey You're as sweet As strawberry wine You're as warm As a glass of brandy Honey, I stay stoned on your love All the time You're as smooth As Tennessee whiskey Tennessee Whiskey Tennessee Whiskey You're as smooth As Tennessee Whiskey Tennessee whiskey Tennessee whiskey
