Album: Tailgates & Tanlines (2011)

Tailgate Blues

I catch my buzz in the black of night
Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows
If I loose my cool in the open and it shows
That I'€™m down and I ain'€™t alright

I search my soul where there is no moon
The trees all cross and are covered in moss
If the crickets wanna know then I'€™ll tell them what I lost
Oh, I got the tailgate blues

I ain'€™t sure were it all began
Somewhere '€™round here I know
This bridge was a little more crowded then
I was playing her a tailgate show
And now I'€™m just sittin'€™ here alone

To catch my buzz in the black of night
Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows
If I loose my cool in the open and it shows
That I'€™m down and I ain'€™t alright

I search my soul where there is no moon
The trees all cross and are covered in moss
If the crickets wanna know then I'€™ll tell them what I lost
Oh I'€™ve got the tailgate blues

Damn that AM radio
For playing more than a song
My heart won'€™t beat if the strings are broke
The melody'€™s hittin'€™ me wrong
Right here where she belongs

I catch my buzz in the black of night
Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows
If I loose my cool in the open and it shows
That I'€™m down and I ain'€™t alright

I search my soul where there is no moon
The trees all cross and are covered in moss
If the crickets wanna know then I'€™ll tell them what I lost
Oh, I got the tailgate blues

The crickets heard my story and I listened to em sing
I guess I'€™ll close the tailgate up
There ain'€™t no telling what tomorrow might bring
Maybe me and a Dixie cup
But that won'€™t be enough'€¦

Yes I catch my buzz in the black of night
Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows
If I loose my cool in the open and it shows
That I'€™m down and I ain'€™t alright

I search my soul where there is no moon
The trees all cross and are covered in moss
If the crickets wanna know then I'€™ll tell them what I lost
Oh, I got the tailgate blues

I catch my buzz in the black of night
Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows
If I loose my cool in the open and it shows
That I'€™m down and I ain'€™t alright
