Walk Away
Verse: She’s a red bandana out of south Alabama gonna cruise like a wreckin’ ball
Hold on to what you see you know she gonna break it all
Every step that she takes you fall more in love
Verse: Grab your vest she’s a shotgun shell headin’ straight to your chest
Two steppin’ in a red sun dress to the beat of your heart
Faster as she comes, faster still when she stops
Pre-Chorus: My mama said, when I was just a kid
Chorus: You gotta roll with the punches
Take em anyway you can
Or she’ll be gone gone when the morning comes
Don’t let her leave, watch her walk away
Verse: She got you singin’ songs of glory be praised
She got you skippin’ church ‘cause you think you found the way
Redemption glory fades with its price to pay

The River
Verse: Take me to the river, down in east la
Wash me with the blood of a thousand dreams gone ‘stray
Take me to the chapel, get down on my knees
Gonna pray to the preacher, he’ll take my sins away
Verse: Open up the gates, so I can see your face
I wanna believe in something, that’s bigger than the world I live
Take me to the pastures, feel the mountains grace
Been shoutin’ to the clouds now, I ain’t seen your face
Chorus: I gotta let go of something, hold on to nothing
Say goodbye to someone, I ain’t ready to say goodbye
Not Yet.
Verse: So if he asks, “where the hell’s he been?”
Tell him the liquor, is for the winter, and my aching legs
Cause I’m tired of bending my knee, for someone who doesn’t hear me
You say death set me free, but I ain’t lookin’ for your company

Come On
Verse: Well she’s a black cat on a Friday night
Gonna cruise the town ‘til the moon’s just right
Wag that tail everywhere
I’m gonna make you fall in love, tonight
Verse: It’s a 1, 2, 3 honey come with me
Forget your troubles, let ‘em be
Hang your coat up next to mine
Watch me make you fall in love
Chorus: Come on! Yeah honey come on!
Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing, watch me make you fall in love
Verse: That red lipstick on that candy cane
Pretty brown eyes make me go insane
Hold me close, don’t let me go
But she still says no

Betty
Verse: Betty’s black dress hangin’ in the closet, Red wine stain sittin’ on the carpet… yeah
Telephone ringin’ in the background, lullaby singin’ nobody’s listening
Answer machine say “Betty can you hear me? Betty can you hear me sing my song?”
I play it slow… I play it soft so you can sing along
Pre-Chorus: I said “Betty, where’ve you been? You’ve been runnin’ runnin’ for so long…
(I said) “Betty, can you help me? Can you lift me up with the words of a love song?
Chorus: It goes…Ooooooo
Verse: She lyin’ naked on the ground, snowflakes sparklin’ all around
White dress, it hides your sin, but we know Betty, where you’ve been
Answer machine still callin’, Betty can you hear me sing my song?
No need to cry, we all bleed red. No need to cry, we all bleed red.

Nothing Left to Lose
Verse: I know I’m running away
I know just afraid but I got too much left to lose
To stick around here
I know what you’re gonna say
But you can’t change my mind
I got too much gas and I’m on an open road
Pre-Chorus: So save your words sister I’m gone
Tell brother that I’m never coming home
Chorus: ‘Cause I got no place left to go
No direction for my soul
I’m a stranger stuck in a cage
It’s not that I don’t believe
I got nothing left to lose
Verse: You can run but you can’t hide
From the truth you’ve got inside
Well mama said it best, gotta walk away sometimes
So keep your lips sewn shut
Stop the tears from fallin’ from your eyes
Don’t you know babe, you can’t change my mind

Run Like Hell
Verse: Fumbling with your keys at your door, and I walk away
See I’m not scared of what I’d do, scared of what I’ll say
The glow of these taillights, hide the tears that you’ve shed
Ain’t lookin’ for forgiveness, just tryin’ to find my way
Pre-Chorus: If I could show you what I see
Would you still believe?
Chorus: Run like hell, don’t give up on yourself it’s what you’ve been fighting for
Don’t look back, she won’t do the same for you so I’ll do my best
To run like hell
Verse: Walkin’ hand in hand on the sidewalk, I tried my best
See I’m gonna miss this feelin’, replace it with your ghost
I’m not much for talkin’ and I ain’t good at holdin’ on
But you looked so pretty babe, standing in the light
Bridge: Is it me, or am I seeing things
Is it your ghost, reminding me?
Was it on myself, to take all the blame?
‘Cause honey some of this is still your fault, but I gotta let this go

Runaway
Verse: What if I told you I was looking for myself?
It wouldn’t be entirely untrue
What if I told you I was lookin’ for a home?
Would you come and rescue me, or would you run away?
Verse: Maybe I’m the one who’s truly all to blame
Everything I did, I did it for your name
When it comes time to lay it on the line
You know I will, you know I will, you know I will…
Chorus: She’s a runaway girl on a freight train
Got a hole in her jeans and her mama’s last name
She’s daddy’s little secret from the girl next door
The red lipstick on the collar he wore
She got blood stains, on a white dress
From a wedding day, in her Sunday best
Gonna walk down to the river
And wash her feet in the muddy banks
Bridge: Save my soul in the Tennessee lights
Get to the Georgia line

Women and Country
Verse: Maybe I’m scared, of what I might say
What if I’m wrong? I wish I was
Honey I ain’t perfect, I’m no saint
I’ve got my taint
I burn red, against the sun
When things get tough, I turn and run
I learned it best, from watching you
Tell me now what to do
Chorus: The prideful me says, “I’m doin’ just fine”
But I know, I’ll never change
You’ve got your demons, and I’ve got my sins
So maybe we, can work it out today
Verse: ‘Cause baby I tried, to give it sense
But it wasn’t worth it, I’m givin’ in
To your lips, I’m drunk again
With whiskey on my breath
So before you call, change your number
Leave a message after the tone
Tell me you’re doin’ just fine
Yeah you’re doin’ just fine
Bridge: There’s a light, still on your front porch
Baby I’m comin’ back, baby I’m runnin’ back
Verse: Honey I know, you found your wings
But I’m still grounded, lookin’ for a song to sing
And I’ve learned, there’s more to this
Than women and country

Love
Verse: Drivin’ through the badlands, down in Mexico
Pockets full of dust, nowhere to go
Trying to find me something, hell I don’t know what
Holding on to better times
Verse: Broke down in Kentucky, and I found the mountains blue
Deep inside I knew it was you
Taking me closer, that place I want to be
Headin’ towards that state line
Pre-Chorus: What bring me back to you I don’t know... .but I don’t mind
Chorus: Yeah I miss my brother, and my family
In my heart I know I believe
With pennies on the dollar, cross that Georgia line
Of all the things left to say
I miss you the most

Ain’t the Saving Kind
Verse: I’ve been waiting for
Someone like you to
Take me from
This place I’m livin’ in
Cause it don’t feel like livin’ at all
Verse: I saw you and your
Baby blues lookin’
Down a barrel of a
Smoking gun shoots true
Well I’m lookin right at you
Pre-Chorus: I said Darlin’… Oh darlin’…
Chorus: I’ve been looking for someone
To save me and call me your own
I ain’t lookin’ for no, soul salvation
If there’s anything left, I ain’t the savin’ kind
Verse: I’ve been askin
All the questions
For the things I’ve got
Runnin’ through my brain
Baby there ain’t hidin’ this love

For You
Verse: I met a girl with diamonds and pearls in her ears
Got those eyes that steal your heart when she smiles at you
Well I’m just a boy, chasin’ my hopes and childhood dreams
Maybe I’ll come around and be the man she needs me to be
Chorus: But for now I’m just a boy, six strings and a box full of songs
I got love, hell I don’t know how to let it out
So I sing these songs for you
Verse: I swear one day this will pay off, just stick around with me
So pin me down, spread my wings, tell me to stay and push me away
Bridge: You make me stronger than I ever could be on my own
You, lift me up, and push me to be a better man
Chorus: I’m just a simple man, six dreams and a box full of hearts
I got love and I finally figured everything out
That’s why I sing for you
