Money for beer 04:15
lyrics
buy track
We don’t raise money for nothing We raise money for beer We find a few songs to sing If you’re willing to lend an ear We don’t raise money for nothing We raise money for beer So let me grab my six string Make sure there’s a bottle near For sure we take requests Sometimes we give ‘em back We don’t love you any less We’ll just play another track No Freebird need apply No Stairway to heaven No Hallelujah from this guy But I’ll turn up to eleven We don’t raise money for nothing We raise money for beer There ain’t no way of knowing When the cops will appear We don’t raise money for nothing We raise money for beer Let’s get the party going Make them frowns all disappear For sure we take requests Sometimes we give ‘em back We don’t love you any less We’ll just play another track No Freebird need apply No Stairway to heaven No Hallelujah from this guy But I’ll turn up to eleven Sometimes the song is sad ‘Bout that love you never had Sometimes the song is sweet ‘Bout that time in the backseat

Daddy said, son, it’s OK to hate the man You don’t have to be his #1 fan As long as you’re grateful for the work and for the check Then my boy all I say is what the heck Daddy said it’s OK to feel old Cause life’s not always bout being bold As long as you’re grateful for your health and what’s on deck Then my boy all I say is what the heck What the heck, do people find to moan about What the heck, they’re born angry there’s no doubt What the heck, take a minute and enjoy That’s all I can teach you, my boy Daddy said son, it’s OK to wanna quit On the nights when your woman yelled and split As long as you’re grateful for the times before the wreck Then my boy all I say is what the heck What the heck, do people find to moan about What the heck, they’re born angry there’s no doubt What the heck, take a minute and enjoy That’s all I can teach you, my boy I never went to school and they never called me cool But I hope you will follow this simple rule What the heck, do people find to moan about What the heck, they’re born angry there’s no doubt What the heck, take a minute and enjoy That’s all I can teach you, my boy

I don't like people like you 03:58
lyrics
buy track
I don't like people like you people like you are fake I don't like people like you because all you people ever do is take You know, the rest of us, we matter more than dust, we make this world go round. Meanwhile the lot of you Whose words never ring true You walk around like you deserve a crown I don't like people like you people like you are fake I don't like people like you because you people never own up to your mistake You know the rest of us we're actually worth the fuss So why pretend we don't make a sound Meanwhile the lot of you And your selfish point of view you are running us down to the ground It's time you understand that no one owns his land What it's all about is it an open helping hand

Am G Driving into Davidson County Am G Feeling alive feeling free F Am Got a few songs to my name G Am But life will never be the same Am G Driving into Davidson County Am G Wish you coulda made the trip with me F Am But you are needed where you are G Am And my new world is just too far G Am And my new world is just too far F C But I promised to write you letters G Am And you promised to read them all I hope your mama will feel better I hope you come and see me in the fall Am G Driving into Davidson County Am G It’s my first day in Tennessee F Am Stopped by the Cumberland River G Grateful the Lord is such a giver F C But I promised to write you letters G Am And you promised to read them all I hope your mama will feel better I hope you come and see me in the fall You won’t be driving to Davidson County I hear tell you got no love for me I was away when your mama passed on Now you think I should just stay gone Now you think I should just stay gone F C But I promised to write you letters G Am And you promised to read them all I know your mama won't feel better Still wished you'd come see me in the fall

The plan 04:10
lyrics

The plan’s to drink this night away The plan’s to say goodbye to yesterday The plan’s to drink this night away And to no longer feel black or blue or gray You know I miss your conversation The way you hugged me at the train station I’ll miss the feel of you and how time flew But most of all I still miss you You know I miss our vacation Our time away from this great nation I miss the feel of you and close we grew But most of all I still miss you The plan’s to drink this night away The plan’s to say goodbye to yesterday The plan’s to drink this night away And to no longer feel black or blue or gray You know I miss your flirtation And our nightly love exclamation I miss the feel of you and the joy we knew But most of all I still miss you One bottle in and it’s not workin' So far you win, let the drinkin’ begin

Vodka in a closet 04:00
lyrics
buy track
She keeps vodka in a closet behind rows of high heel shoes She says she ain't no drunk she just got nothing left to lose She goes to bed at night praying the Lord would bring her home She wakes up in the morning hungover and alone She was raised to be a beauty queen to only matter from the outside Her mama said make sure your man is always satisfied She said wait for a rich one, girl, don't bother with our kind This ain't about true love, it's about not falling behind And she lives in a mansion with strangers all around But when it comes to passion her dreams have all but drowned She would give it all for just one day With someone by her side A loving man who wasn’t buying a thing when he made her his bride She tried picking up young men downtown in a singles bar Just another night alone, and just another scar Her old friends across town don’t understand why she complains They see her crashing down but they don’t feel her pain And she lives in a mansion with strangers all around But when it comes to passion her dreams have all but drowned She would give it all for just one day With someone by her side A loving man who wasn’t buying a thing when he made her his bride

She's the love of my life but today, I'm saying goodbye Wanted her for my wife but our love is a lie She’s the love of my life right people wrong time My heart sliced by her knife this love ain’t worth a dime It all started so well, it was love at first sight Put me under her spell, had no sleep that night It all started so well, standing there by the sea It all started so well, how could I foresee She's the love of my life but today, I'm saying goodbye Wanted her for my wife but our love is a lie She’s the love of my life right people wrong time My heart sliced by her knife this love ain’t worth a dime I thought she was the one that I’d been looking for I thought I had won like I’d never won before I thought she was the one we’d grow old together I thought she was the one, we’d be one forever She's the love of my life but today, I'm saying goodbye Wanted her for my wife but our love is a lie She’s the love of my life right people wrong time My heart sliced by her knife this love ain’t worth a dime

The Captain 04:10
lyrics
buy track
My mother married the Captain It was destined to be love for a while He would not shake my hand And he would not crack a smile My daddy served in the Army And the Captain knew him from afar When Daddy reached the end of his journey The Captain didn’t have a single scar Cuz cowards they lead from behind Scared out of their mind Cowards send others to die That’s why they can’t look their kids in the eye My mother married the Captain While she still felt pretty and young But fear is what she was all wrapped in And she forgot about right and wrong They sent me and brother away To school in some foreign land The Captain wanted us out of the way My mother obeyed his command Cuz cowards they lead from behind Scared out of their mind Cowards send others to die That’s why they can’t look their kids in the eye My mother she married the Captain And she saw him be lowered in the ground She didn’t listen to the Chaplain It wasn’t her first go ‘round The Captain was caught with another man’s wife With his hands in her cookie jar He died at the point of a knife I guess he got his first scar CHORUS My mother married the Captain It was destined to be love for a while

I don’t wanna know how the story ends And I don't wanna know where the road bends I just wanna know that when its my time to go On that very day I'll be able to say That I lived for my woman And we lived for love And we hoped for Heaven And grace from above We made our way Being each other's Rock Together we pray For more time on the clock In this world together In the next forever We have our kids and a grand daughter too You could say we've been blessed a time or two Some folks have more money but I know already That on my last day I'll be able to say That I lived for my woman And we lived for love And we hoped for Heaven And grace from above We made our way Being each other's Rock Together we pray For more time on the clock In this world together In the next forever

I'm guilty 03:53
lyrics
buy track
I’m guilty, I’ve been hiding, in the place the heart can’t see I’m guilty, I’ve been hiding, from the people who love me And the words unsaid, and the love long dead They poison my days, and they set me ablaze As I hide deep in the maze I’m guilty, I’ve been hiding, I pretend to be happy I’m guilty, I’ve been hiding, behind the man that I can’t be There’s dreams we shred, I live yours instead They poison my days, and they set me ablaze As I hide deep in the maze Set me free I’m guilty, I’ve been hiding, I pretend that life is free I’m guilty, I’ve been hiding, when in all actuality There’s times I dread, and lies I spread They poison my days, and they set me ablaze As I hide deep in the maze Set me free We can change the way our lives unfold Rearrange the way the story’s told I’m guilty, I’ve been hiding, in the place the heart can’t see I’m guilty, I’ve been hiding, from the people who love me And the words unsaid, and the love long dead They poison my days, and they set me ablaze As I hide deep in the maze
