Too big for my britches
02:57
|

Well I got too big for my britches
got away with just a few stitches
sometimes in life you see
the trick is to be lucky
Well I got too big for my britches
squandered away all my riches
sometimes in life you see
you're better off just being free
As I sit here sharing my story, I really don't want you to worry.
I'll be just fine in the end, I really appreciate whatever prayers you can send
Well I got too big for my britches
spent a few nights at the bottom of the few ditches
sometimes in life you see
The only friend you have is nobody
Well I got too big for my britches
and I married the wrong witches
sometimes in life you see
You need a good woman or two or three

Last Man Standing

F G Am F
I was her first and only and the last man standing
G Am G
And dare I say we reached a little understanding
F G Am F
I was in town for a day or two, just passing through
F G C
And not a word love ever said was true
F G Am F
I was her first and only and the last man standing
G Am G
My soul was in need of some rebranding
F G Am F
I looked at her and I liked the view, reminded me of you
F G C
And not a word love ever said was true
G AM
We partied till the world was old
We tasted Champagne made of gold
We parted ways when morning kissed the night
I wish I could still hold her tight
F G Am F
I was her first and only and the last man standing
G Am G
And dare I say we reached a little understanding
F G Am F
I was in town for a day or two, just passing through
F G C
And not a word love ever said was true

Simpler days

There’s an old water tower as you drive into town
I’ve been known to climb up and drink a few rounds
but those were simpler days
Before I held you in my gaze
Never wanted to live anywhere else
Too far’s where I can’t hear my old church bells
Yeah those were simpler days
Before you set my heart ablaze
But I’ll follow you anywhere
Whether it snows or storms or rain I’ll be there
There’s little corner store right next to the bar
You were walking out as I was tuning my guitar
But those were simpler days
Or so my beating heart still says
You said hello, you smiled that smile
I’m sure i acted goofy all the while
You asked what’s good to do round here
I said how ‘bout you hold me near
But I’ll follow you anywhere
Whether it snows or storms or rain I’ll be there
There’s an old water tower as you drive into town
We’ve been known to climb up and drink a few rounds
These are happy days
As we watch the last sun rays

C G Am
Easy come, hard to let go
G F
According to some and they would know
C G
Easy come
C G Am
Flying high, feeling low
G F
My soul’s got no place safe to go
C G
Flying high
High on love, low on time
Feeling better ougtha be a crime
Still my heart is going down
Watch me swim, watch me drown
Take a pill, be another man
Burning dreams in a garbage can
Take a pill
Living high on the hog
Tryin’ to breathe through the smog
Living high
High on love, low on time
Feeling better ougtha be a crime
Still my heart is going down
Watch me swim, watch me drown
Why’s he sad, he’s got the life I never had
Makes me mad, how can he feel so bad

Home’s not where i’m from
Not anymore
When you follow the sound of your own drum
And you show yourself the door
Home’s not where i’m from
Funny what life has in store
And I’m not what I thought I’d become
Sometimes I’m less, sometimes I’m more
D Em
And I forgot the way back home
D C D
Not all the roads lead to Rome
Em D C Am
Maybe some day I’ll go back
D G
Before my life fades to black
Home’s not where I’m from
A different world a different shore
It’s like the end of times has come
And nothing’s like before
And I forgot the way back home
Not all the roads lead to Rome
Maybe some day I’ll go back
Before my life fades to black

Never return
02:51

Well you laugh at my broken heart
And I laugh with you
You say love keeps us apart
And I know it’s true
Oh you laugh at my tears
As they fall from my eyes
Well I laugh at my fears
They’re love in disguise
When will I ever learn
You play with love - you get burned
When will I ever learn
You will never return
Well they say life’s a bitch
And then you die
I do n’t know which is which
But I know you didn’t try
When will I ever learn
You play with love - you get burned
When will I ever learn
You will never return
D C Em
And I still think we had it all
But it takes two to hear the call

(You need to) Let her go
02:41
|
|
||
|
She’s a dream you wake up from
Reaching for that bottle of rum
She’s the girl you need to forget
She’s a dream you have each night
But she leaves you come daylight
I guess she likes to play hard to get
You need to let her go
She’ll never let love flow
She’ll only break your heart
You’ve known it from the start
She’s a dream you crave inside
Even though you cried and cried
with here there’s no safety net
She’s a dream broken and fake
Brother there’s too much at stake
Still you love the day you met
You need to let her go
She’ll never let love flow
She’ll only break your heart
You’ve known it from the start

I'm coming to your town
03:31
|
|

|
I’m coming to your town
Hell bent on letting you down
Like you let me down so many times before
I sure hope you’ll be round
TO hear the lonesome sound
Of your heart breaking when I slam the front door
Girl you know it’s your turn
To whither, crash and burn
I’ll sweep up your ashes
And put them where the trash is
I’m coming to your town
And I hope you’re wearing a frown
Gonna leave you crying on the floor
I sure hope you’ll be round
And heartache will abound
Just wait and see what karma has in store
Girl you know it’s your turn
To whither, crash and burn
I’ll sweep up your ashes
And put them where the trash is
Let’s see if you can survive the pain
Tell me about the sun after the rain

Them bad outlaws
02:53
|
|||
|
They say I shot a man
But it was only the one time
It’s not like I had a plan
To live a life of crime
You see I had a gun
He was the first guy that I saw
I was lonely, had no fun
Somewhere down in Arkansas
They say he had a wife
And he was some old lady’s son
They say I took his life
And now I’m on the run
But that’s not what transpired
That guy he was no saint
I wasn’t the first to fire
So he’s got no complaint
But he’s got a badge from the local PD
A black and white car, blue lights for all to see
So when I shot him down like the dog he was
I had to leave town like them old outlaws
They say I shot a man
But it was only the one time
Driving fast as I can
To the land of the key lime… pies, that is
You see I had a gun
But he was the first guy to draw
Now I’m enemy number one
Somewhere down in Arkansas
But he’s got a badge from the local PD
A black and white car, blue lights for all to see
So when I shot him down like the dog he was
I had to leave town like them old outlaws

Whiskey in my cup

You know there’s whiskey in my cup
Just heard someone yell bottoms up
We’re drinking’ that’s what’s up
Tonight I’m getting fucked up
Yeah there’s whiskey in my cup
Are you ready for my close up
With my mug all up in your Dixie cup
Yeah tonight I’m getting fucked up
She just called me butter cup
Shoulda said no, but I said… yup
I know she wants to go too far
So I’m riding shotgun in her car
She just called me buttercup
You know it’s too late to back up
I shoulda stayed at the bar
But I can’t leave a door ajar
You know there’s whiskey in my cup
Just heard someone yell bottoms up
We’re drinking’ that’s what’s up
Tonight I’m getting fucked up
Yeah there’s whiskey in my cup
Are you ready for my close up
With my mug all up in your Dixie cup
Yeah tonight I’m getting fucked up
