I got this one here
On a midnight dare in a border town
Every time he stuck that needle in my skin
She had to look away
Had him put it right her on my chest
Over my heart
That rose of Jericho looked so good
Painted underneath her name
It hurt like hell yeah but it was worth the pain

CHORUS
When I'm missing her
I take another shot
I know it ain't the cure
But right now it's all I got
She took most of me
Now all that I have left
Are tattoos to remember
Tequila to forget

Just another neon roller coaster
Friday night
Bartender wiping down that bar
While he keeps an eye on me
And I sure hope he ain't about to cut me off
Cause I'm only one or two away from
Gettin' my head where it needs to be

CHORUS

Yeah it hurt like hell but it was worth the pain
When I'm missing her
I take another shot
I know it ain't the cure

CHORUS

Going down like a sunset
Burnin' out like a cigarette
Blowin' thru the cash, through the past
Drinking down that memory til there's nothin' left
I could go on and on
On why you're gone

CHORUS
I could blame it on the whiskey
I wouldn't blame you if you didn't even miss me
Gave you a million reasons girl not to be with me
Should've never let you go
Should've never watched you go
I could blame it on a good high
Let it take the blame for why you told me goodbye
Instead of missin' you and missin' all those good times
Should've never let you go
Shouldn't never watched you go
I could say I never knew
I could drink around the truth
But I can't blame it on you, yeah, yeah

Trying to ride out the midnight
Trying to fight through the daylight
Wondering where you're at and just like that
I'm looking back on what I had when you were mine
I could go on and on
On why you're gone

CHORUS

I could go on and on
On why you're gone

CHORUS

Red eye got delayed
Blame it on the rain
Guess I gotta stay another night
In this town full of lights
Guys like me don't like
Yeah I flagged a yellow car found a smokey bar
Threw this ol' heart on a stool
Let me and this 90 proof
Do what we gotta do
So I'm here drinking...

CHORUS
Whiskey in a champagne town
Are you trying not to miss me
Like I'm trying not to miss you now
Blaming you by two, and me by three
It's plain to see all I'll ever be to you
Is what I am right now
Nothing but whiskey in a champagne town

I was just a stop along the way
Just a phase you were going through in the back of your mind you knew what
This was coming to
Yeah so did I but it still burns tonight just like this...

CHORUS

Sitting here drinking...

CHORUS

Ain't nothing but whiskey, whiskey in a champagne town
Ain't nothing but whiskey, whiskey in a champagne town

She ain't nothin' like
The bourbon in my blood
Gets me high for a little while
And then it's over
She ain't one of those
Move on Mondays
Back to normal
Nothin' weighin' on ya

CHORUS
Wish I could leave it all behind me
Without ever looking back
But she's the buzz
That still runs through my head
Goodbye don't come easy
With a girl like that
I swear sometimes
I wish we'd never met
Yeah 'cause some things you don't forget

That boardwalk neon blue
Shining on her lips
I still can taste that sweet
Malibu on 'em
That wild in her eyes
Lay me down by water
That summer night high tide
Washing up on us

CHORUS

She's the buzz
That still runs through my head
No I can't forget, no I can't forget
I still can taste that sweet

CHORUS

Yeah 'cause some things you don't forget

She said baby do you ever miss being alone
I said hell no I don't
She said do you really think I'm where you belong
I said you know and I know
You're perfect for me everything I'll ever need
I ain't playin' what I'm sayin'

CHORUS
When I got what I got I don't miss what I had
The old me before you belongs to the past
In the back of your mind you might think
There's something more I want
But when I got what I got girl I don't

I said baby do know you sound a little crazy
When you're talkin' like that girl
Ain't no second thoughts no regrets no kinda maybe no wishing I'd turn back before you came along
I could go on and on
Girl just kiss me you're all that I want

CHORUS

She said baby do you ever miss being alone
I said hell no I don't

CHORUS

No I don't
No I don't
When I got what I got girl I don't

Yeah we proud of that name painted upon that water tower
And that red dirt on the bottom of our boots
This place runs 35 miles an hour
And that hard work runs in our roots
Yeah we're all just backbone blue-collar people
Burning that Texaco black smoke diesel

CHORUS
Yeah we're just keeping it small town
Keeping it slow
Keep that dust stirred up on them ol' dirt roads
Yeah we keeping them girls up in them shotgun seats
Got that good stuff waiting on the end of the week
It's the way we were raised and we ain't changing now
You can find us sun up to sun down yeah
Just keeping it small town
Keeping it small town

Yeah we just trying to be 'bout half good as our daddies
Still trying to make a name of our own
Find a little girl you can roll with and
Ride with and make a good life with and
Love her til you're gone

CHORUS

Yeah we're all just backbone blue-collar people
Burning that Texaco black smoke diesel

CHORUS

You can find 'em 'bout sundown Friday
Comin' out of them fields for the highway
First stop Texaco fill a cooler full of cold beer
Paycheck sittin' on the console
Gotta get it in the bank 'fore the doors close
Call your boys get your girl time to throw it in another gear

CHORUS
Here they come rollin' down main street
A country song spinnin' on a CD
Small town lookin' for good time
Raise a little hell and a drink at the county line
Muddy boots muddy tires
Wrap your baby in your jacket by the fire
Yeah the girls round here they got it bad
For good ol' boys in a camouflage hat

Country girls know how to love
And how to pretty up a pick up truck
Fallin' for a roller up flannel under tailgate stars
And country boys they hold 'em tight
Best believe they gonna treat 'em right
Cause they'll be dealin' with a daddy if they break their heart

CHORUS

Layin' on the seat or up on the dashboard
Let her put it on you'll never get it back boy
Yeah camouflage hat

CHORUS

Yeah camouflage hat
Yeah camouflage hat
Yeah

I didn't show up to cover up anything
Didn't walk through that door to forget about what's her name
No I didn't have a bad day
It ain't what you think

CHORUS
I just came here to drink
'Cause it's 5 o'clock
Pour me the good stuff right from the top
Yeah let out the laughs
Breathe in the smoke
Get high on the night and the midnight glow
Set on this bar stool live on neon time
Yeah tonight I just came here to drink

I just wanna sit here and listen to the jukebox
Hear that song that puts me in a good spot
No it ain't like this every night
Oh but this time

CHORUS X2

I just came here to drink
I just came here to drink

Where' the guy in the steel toes covered in dirt
Just a rock n' roll t-shirt headed to work
With pack of red man in his pocket
He's kind of red man but he's rockin'
Where's the beat up tele and the Marshall stack
Little Marshall Tucker and a six-pack
Where's the gold ol' boys and the good ol' days
Straight up gettin' sideways

CHORUS
We back, we back, we back in the speakers
Back in black getting blasted in the bleachers
It's probably true what my momma said
I do it just like my daddy did
We back, we back, we back in the saddle
Back on stage making the whole place rattle
Back with the a-team, train on the track
Thought we were gone but you were wrong, not it's on
We back

Where's the chick wearin' blue jeans a little too tight
Got a grip on a koozie if it's what she likes
Getting picked up in a pickup and
Kickin' it with guys like us

CHORUS

Sun comes up and sun goes down, yeah
Everything good comes back around

CHORUS

Thought we were gone but you wrong, not it's on
We back

We back, we back, we back in the saddle
Back on stage making the whole place rattle
Back with the a-team, train on the track
Thought we were gone but you were wrong, not it's on
We back

Yeah we drank on it
Cranked some hank on it
Got a little crazy raised a little hell on it
Yeah learned to pray learned to cuss
Throw a party throw a punch
Ain't no hiding where we're from
It's on our boots and it's on our trucks

CHORUS
It's in that cloud of dust we stirred up
It was out in the fields on them ol' backroads
It covers this town like it covers my soul
Yeah it's in our bones in our blood
Yeah as deep as these roots run
We'll never be too far gone
From the dirt we were raised on
Dirt we were raised on

Baled some hay on it
Ask God to rain on it
We met 'em at the gate when
They tried to put an interstate on int
Yeah we got lost we got found
We got high we got down
And every time we rolled into town

CHORUS

Yeah we drank on it
Cranked some hank on it
Got a little crazy raised a little hell on it

CHORUS

Yeah it's the red stuff flying in the back of a truck bed
Going out as far as you can get
Windows down turned up to a country song
That's the dirt we were raised on
Sunsets and a bullet hole stop sign
Get down on a back 45
Yeah that's how we do it all night long
That's the dirt we were raised on
That's the dirt we were raised on
That's the dirt we were raised on
That's the dirt we were raised on

She don't like this bar
She don't like my friends
She thinks we party too hard
She said it's me or them
She said I need to change my ways
Boy you got a choice to make, so

CHORUS
I don't drink anymore
Ever since she left
I don't drink anymore
And I don't drink any less

She picked a bad time
To try to slow me down
And this ain't a good night
To try and turn me around
I still like to get crazy nothing new
Still like to have a few

CHORUS

I didn't want her to go
And it's not that I don't give a damn
I just want someone to want me
For who I am
She said I need to change my ways
Boy you got a choice to make, so

I don't drink any more
Yeah tonight you can bet
I don't drink any more
And I don't drink any less
I don't drink any more
And I don't drink any less

She's got a way of lighting up the neon
Turning heads
She got a thing that turns me on
Burnin' red
Something 'bout them blue eyes staring right back in mine
I swear I see the light

CHORUS
She's a cowboy killer in the shotgun seat
Talking blonde wild fire holding on to me
She got a knockout love and a goodbye kiss
Got the 3030 smoke rollin' off her lips
Lose my breath know me dead every time I'm with her
Yeah she's a cowboy killer

She make a night wild and restless
Run it off the tracks
She's riding the line of crazy and reckless
And damn I love that

CHORUS

Something 'bout them blue eyes staring right back in mine
I swear I see the light

CHORUS

Yeah a cowboy killer
She's a cowboy killer

I had one for the good one for the bye
One for kickin' myself all night
One for her and all four wheels
And one for the way her leavin' feels
Now here it is time to close
Now how bout one more before I go

CHORUS
Give me one for the road
She's on tonight
Firestones turnin'
Firebird burnin' right outta my life
Before the lights come on and I pay my tab
Climb inside that yellow cab to take me home
Give me one for the road she's on

65 South State Route 7
Broadway Main Street Country Road 11
Wherever she is four lane forgettin' bout me

CHORUS

Yeah I ain't drunk but I ain't sober
I know I'm still gonna wake up hung over on her
So what's one more gonna hurt

CHORUS

Give me one for the road she's on tonight

I've spent a lot of time underneath the lights down in San Antonio
Yeah I've made good memories just about everywhere I go
Myrtle Beach South Carolina
Sometimes you gotta put it all behind ya
But there's on thing that I
Just can't get off my mind

CHORUS
When I talk about Georgia
It's the color in your eyes of the summertime shining on ya
I remember every mile yeah you drove me wild
Baby and the way it felt like nothing else
It's tru girl I think about you
When I talk about Georgia

Yeah my buddies still talk about that Daytona trip
Man the years fly by damn it's hard to remember it
Fast lane through Oklahoma
Tequila nights in California
But there's just one goodbye
That gets me every time

CHORUS

Yeah you're right here you come back baby just like that

CHORUS

When I talk about Georgia

It doesn't matter if you grew up
Above the Mason Dixon or down in Dixie
If you come from the east side or the west side
Of the Mississippi
Little farm towns to them high-rise cities
Raise 'em up if you with me

CHORUS
If you got the same song comin' outta your speakers
Got the same strong mix down in your cup
If you got smoke blowin' in the air
Howling at the moon, if you do
Then that's what's up
If you got your pretty green-eyed dime or ride or die-er
Beside ya pullin' that all nighter
Yeah, we might be from a different place
But we throw down the same way
The same way, the same way

This one's for them good ol' boys and girls ya'll
Let's get another round
Say it loud let 'em know all over the world now
Country done come from
Little farms towns to them high-rise cities
Raise 'em up if you with me yeah

CHORUS

Yeah we throw down the same way

We believe it in our hearts when we say we're country
We ain't scared to back it up
Yeah I think it'd be safe to say
That we all think
Nobody does it like us

CHORUS

We throw down the same way
The same way, the same way
Yeah we throw down the same way
Yeah we throw down the same way

She don't like it catching cabs downtown
The noise the crowd the people
When the bar shut down
She don't like it when it rains
Don't like the color gray
But if I know anything

CHORUS
I know she likes it riding all night long
Shotgun next to me
A little whiskey when the weeks all gone
Gets her wild and running free
With the windows down in a nowhere town
Gettin' lost somewhere to a song
I know she likes it riding all night long yeah

She don't like it when it's eye on her
Walking in the party
No that ain't her
She don't like it when I cuss
Don't like it when I smoke
She don't like it when she's all alone

CHORUS

She likes to lean on in
Likes to kick on back
She likes it when we go fast

CHORUS

I know she likes it riding all night long yeah
