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!
Verse 1:
I’m down to my last dollar
I've walked right through my shoes
Just a small reminder of the hell that I’ve gone through
But look at me still smiling
Cause I’m wondering what I’ll do
Since I ain’t got nothing
I got nothing to lose
Everybody say “HaHaHa, HaHaHa”
My Friends are always giving me
Watches, Hats, and wine
That’s how I know this is serious
That’s how I know its time
I don’t have to worry about things that I don’t have
Cause if I ain’t got nothing
I got nothing to hold me back
Chorus:
1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
And I’m so glad you’re here today
Cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away
Fly away, Fly away
Verse 2:
There’s nothing that’s worth keeping me
From places I should go
From happyville to lovingland
I’m gonna 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
Chorus
Look at me so free
Nothings holding me down(down)
Look at me so free
Can’t keep my feet on the ground
1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
And I’m so glad you’re here today
Cause tomorrow I might have to go and
1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
And I’m so glad you’re here today
Cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away
Fly away, Fly Away, Fly away, Fly away
Fly away!!
Fly Away
1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
(repeat)

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 workin'
Yeah I'm workin'
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 workin'
Baby I'm workin'
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
. . .

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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
I know I know I know I've been forgiven
I know I know I know I'm gonna start living
[Chorus]
Oh yeah
. . .

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 hurtin' 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 you're 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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Yeah that's the difference between the whiskey and you
. . .

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 feelin' that I'm losing you
[Chorus]
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 lookin'
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
[Chorus]
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 thinkin' of
[Chorus]
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 lookin'
I'm afraid somebody's gonna steal you away from me
Suspicions
Oh baby Oh darlin'
Cause I love her
Cause I love her
I love her and she loves me
Ain't nobody gonna take my girl from me
. . .

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
[Chorus]
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 it has to be is true
[Chorus]
[Instrumental break]
[Chorus]
I'm gonna drink this bottle of ninety proof and sing this song for you
Like Kristofferson would do
. . .

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
[Chorus]
Just close your eyes and put your lovin' on me
Put your lovin' on me
Take this weight off me
And put your lovin' 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
[Chorus]
Put your lovin' on me
Put your lovin' on me
Put your lovin' on me
Put your lovin' on me
Take this weight off me
And put your lovin' on me
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
[Chorus]
Just close your eyes and put your lovin' on me
Put your lovin' on me
Take this weight off me
And put your lovin' 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
[Chorus]
Put your lovin' on me
Put your lovin' on me
Put your lovin' on me
Put your lovin' on me
Take this weight off me
And put your lovin' on me
. . .

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 one's you take with you
[Chorus]
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 nothin' to die for
So what's the harm in a little fun
'Cause you're off to work before the sun everyday
And the inbox outbox 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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Ain't nothin' to die for
Nothin' to die for
Ain't nothin' to die for

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 misty
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
[Instrumental bridge]
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
. . .

I wanna drink that shot of whiskey
I wanna smoke that cigarette
I wanna smell that sweet addiction on my breath
I wanna ride cross west Virginia in the backseat of a Cadillac
You know some cowboys like me go out like that so I need you
[Chorus]
Like a needle needs a vein
Like My good Joe in Oklahoma needs a rain
I need you like a lighthouse on the coast
Like the father and the son need (senza s) the holy ghost
I need you
I wanna get lost in some corner booth
Canteena in Mexico
I wanna dance to the static of an a.m. 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
[Chorus]
Like a needle needs a vein
Like my good Joe in Oklahoma needs a rain
I need you
Like a lighthouse on the coast
Like the father and the son needs the holy ghost
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 I need you

Say goodbye to old man winter
Say hello to sweet springtime
Cause I'm comin' out of hiding I'm gonna get it right this time
After so long being frozen it took awhile to thaw me out
I spent too long not knowing what love's supposed to be about
Now I'm finding out
[Chorus]
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 nothin' and it broke this heart of stone
It's a lot like comin' 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 alight for me
Girl you set me free
[Chorus]
Girl I looked at you and knew I never knew nothin' and it broke this heart of stone
It's a lot like comin' home
Comin' home
Feels like I'm comin' home
. . .

Horses are running wide open I just gotta ride
To those honky-tonk bars that stay open way past closing time
Songs about free thinkin' and drinking sure light my fire
That flame leaves a scar on my heart like an old branding iron
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Woman come lay down beside me and be my shotgun rider
