Macon

After you I was chasing in a sunset scene
That Segar song in the backseat was kinda our thing
You drove a Pontiac and my heart crazy
If you jumped off that river bank hell I’d do the same after you
I’d walk into that bar right behind
Catch a stare down with some old boy let 'em know you were mine
Swore it was gonna last the rest of our lives
But fireworks in February turned to one damn
Cold July

And now I’m burning down this hole in the wall
And I’m just tryna make some sense of it all
Looking for answers on this old bar stool
Just tryna figure out life after love after leaving after too much drinking after you

After you I thought about taking that runway
To I don’t care anywhere but this rundown place
Leave all this shit and put my chevy in drive
I’ll take any town any day any state but outta my mind

And now I’m burning down this hole in the wall
And I’m just tryna make some sense of it all
Looking for answers on this old bar stool
Just tryna figure out life after love after leaving after too much drinking after you

I should’ve ran after you
Fast as I can after you
I didn’t know i was gonna need a plan after you
You can tell after you
It’s been hell after you
I don’t even know who I am after you

And now I’m burning down this hole in the wall
And I’m just tryna make some sense of it all
Looking for answers on this old bar stool
Just tryna figure out life after love after leaving after too much drinking after us
After dreaming after too much thinking after you

After you
After you

Ain’t it crazy to think bout how I used to hold ya
Now I’m walkin’ in like I don’t even know ya
I sit down at the same barstool
Order up what I always do
But if you think I’m looking at ya
Girl I’m looking past ya
Cause if I don’t i’m gonna have too

Get drunk tonight
Messed up
Just like
I did the night you left
And burned that goodbye in my head
Pretend I’m fine
But every time
I think I’m gettin’ closer too gettin’ over you
I’m gettin’ over you again

The same bar
With same crowd
Same town
I’m gettin’ over you again
The same smoke
It’s going down right now
I’m gettin’ over you again
Girl it never ends

It’s alway’s the same but the only thing different
Is that I already know what i’m gonna be missin’
Nothing can fix it
All I can do is

Get drunk tonight
Messed up
Just like
I did the night you left
And burned that goodbye in my head
Pretend I’m fine
But every time
I think I’m gettin’ closer too gettin’ over you
I’m gettin’ over you again

Girl it never ends

I sit down at the same barstool
It’s gettin’ old but it’s nothing new

Get drunk tonight
Messed up
Just like
I did the night you left
And burned that goodbye in my head
Pretend I’m fine
But every time
I think I’m gettin’ closer too gettin’ over you
I’m gettin’ over you again

The same bar
With same crowd
Same town
Girl it never ends
I gotta get over you again
The same bar
With same crowd
Same town
Gettin’ over you again
Same smoke
It’s going down right now

It don’t take
Too much
To get the wheels turning round and round in my head
Top self or Cuervo
I know it’s gonna stir up every memory she left
Still burns
I can’t lie
When I think about the good before goodbye
Guess that’s what I’m drinking on tonight

It’ll make you think that
You got a shot at
The one that got away
When it goes down
She’s gonna tell ya
She’s gonna come back
And that’s what makes you stay for another round
Keep you stickin’ around
keep pourin’ out
Until she’s all you thinkin’ bout
It’ll keep ya hung up
Keep ya drunk on what it was
Man that’s what tequila does

It sneaks up
On you
Going out for one turns into 2am
You know
What’s next
Get ya looking for a text
Get ya checking your phone again
Make you stay
All night
It’ll give you a million reasons why

It’ll make you think that
You got a shot at
The one that got away
When it goes down
She’s gonna tell ya
She’s gonna come back
And that’s what makes you stay for another round
Keep you stickin’ around
Keep pourin’ out
Until she’s all you thinkin’ bout
It’ll keep ya hung up
Keep ya drunk on what it was
Man that’s what tequila does
Yeah that’s what tequila does

It still burns, I can’t lie
Oh guess that’s what I’m drinking on tonight

It’ll make you think that
You got a shot at
The one that got away
When it goes down
She’s gonna tell ya
She’s gonna come back
And that’s what makes you stay for another round
Keep you stickin’ around
Keep pourin’ out
Until she’s all you thinkin’ bout
I’ll keep ya hung up
Keep ya drunk on what it was
Man that’s what tequila does
Yeah that’s what tequila does

To the folks who need the money
But won’t sell the family forty
Keep telling that suit and tie no
To all them hiden county liners
Little mom and pop diners
Keep telling big money where to go
Remember god only made
So much real estate
Tell the bank I’m gon take it to the grave

Let’s keep the red dirt roads red dirt
Keep the little white church
Keep keeping god first
Keep dragging that plow
Keep the blue on your collar
Keep the sweat on your dollar
Keep the sins in the water
And your roots in the ground
Keep standing tall
The hell in your naw
Here’s to all y’all keepin' small towns small

To the ones who rocking rust on a box bodied truck
Rev it up keep that rubber burned down
To the ones coming home to your homecoming queen
Keep making that girl’s daddy proud
To all of y’all fighting for that flag
We gon hold it down till ya get back

And keep the red dirt roads red dirt
Keep the little white church
Keep keeping god first
Keep dragging that plow
Keep the blue on your collar
Keep the sweat on your dollar
Keep the sins in the water
And your roots in the ground
Keep standing tall
The hell in your naw
Here’s to all y’all keepin' small towns small

To the gone but not forgotten
God tell em we got em
And we know they’re looking down on this town

I wouldn't mind being alone
I wouldn't keep checking my phone
Wouldn't take the long way home
Just to drive myself crazy
I wouldn't be losing sleep
Remembering everything
Everything you said to me
Like I'm doing lately

You, you wouldn't be all
All that I want
Baby I could let go

CHORUS
If I didn't love you I'd be good by now
I'd be better than barely getting by somehow
Yeah it would be easy not to miss you
Wonder about who's with you
Turn the want you off
Whenever I want to
If I didn't love you
If I didn't love you

I wouldn't still cry sometimes
Wouldn't have to fake a smile
Play it off and tell a lie
When somebody asked how I've been
I'd try to find someone new
It should be something I can do
Baby if it weren't for you
I wouldn't be in the state that I'm in

Yeah you
You wouldn't be all
All that I want
Baby I could let you go

CHORUS

It wouldn't be so hard to see you
Know how much I need you
Wouldn't hate that I still feel like I do
If I didn't love you

If I didn't love you
If I didn't love you

CHORUS

If I didn't love you
If I didn't love you
If I didn't love you

We can talk about the deer that ya killed last year up in Illinois
Anything from the Lakers to the Cowboys
Have the fish been biting today
Talk til the jukebox runs out of hank
Politics religions man anything I don’t care
That girl over there with the blonde hair
Small talk while we paint this town
I just don’t wanna talk about

Why I’m here and why she ain’t
Just wanna pour beer on an ole heartbreak
Drink em outta Jose, shoot em outta limes
Maybe kiss a stranger in the neon light
Buddy I know that you’re trying to help
Just don’t remind me I’m going through hell
If I get enough in me man I might just crack but right now...
She’s a story for another glass

Cause if I hear her name man I’ll spiral down
She’s probably seeing somebody new right now
Out tonight in that dress I like
So keep it light and don’t ask...

Repeat chorus

There’s a thousand roads that I can go on down down down
There’s just one that I can’t do right now now now it’s

Repeat chorus

Yeah another glass
Yeah we might get to that
Right now she’s a story for another glass

Oh thinkin' about our younger years
It was only you and me
We were young and wild and free

Now nothin' can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more

And baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven

And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

Oh once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Pick you up when you're feelin' down

Yeah nothin' could change what you mean to me
Oh, there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
'Cause our love will light the way

And baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven

And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

I've been waitin' for so long
For somethin' to arrive
True love to come along

Now our dreams are comin' true
Through the good times and the bad
Yeah, I'll be standin' there by you

And baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven

And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

You're all that I want
You're all that I need

That smoke supposed to cover you up and cloud my mind
This drink should be gettin’ me drunk
And getting me by
It should be easy to do what I came here for but the second you walk through the door

This bar don’t work anymore
You’re giving it a hell of a job to do
The way he’s spinning you round on the floor
Brings back the midnight missing you I was just drinking through baby
It’s driving me crazy
Even the whiskey can’t ignore
That I’m right back where I was before
This bar don’t work anymore

This crowds supposed to drown you out
All night long
Some pretty girl’s supposed to turn things around and maybe turn me on
I swore this neon would burn you out for sure
Baby tell me what I paying em’ for

This bar don’t work anymore
You’re giving it a hell of a job to do
The way he’s spinning you round on the floor
Brings back the midnight missing you I was just drinking through baby
It’s driving me crazy
Even the whiskey can’t ignore
That I’m right back where I was before
This bar don’t work anymore

They might as well close it down shut it down go ahead and
Board up the windows and lock the doors

Cause this bar don’t work anymore
You’re giving it a hell of a job to do
The way he’s spinning you round on the floor
Brings back the midnight missing you I was just drinking through baby
It’s driving me crazy
Even the whiskey can’t ignore
I’m still hung up on when I was yours
This bar don’t work anymore

She might know me by the rowdy raisem up songs
Bout some honky tonkin’ cold beer sunsets
Whitetails and blue-collar rednecks
She sees a goodtime and nothin’ but blue skies
Everytime her blue eyes look into mine
She got the look that looks past one night
Like nothin’s gonna change her mind

She ain’t heard the sad songs yet
Bout the all night whiskey and the cigarettes
The long string of hearts I left cryin’
The rock bottom that I hit from flyin’
The ones about the messes I’ve made
And how it’s hard for a man like me to change
I bet she’d run as far as she could get
Cause she ain’t heard the sad songs yet

Damn she’s a looker the kind everybody back home
Would love if I took her on a Sunday to meet my momma
Bet if I asked her right now she’d probably wanna

She ain’t heard the sad songs yet
Bout the all night whiskey and the cigarettes
The long string of hearts I left cryin’
The rock bottom that I hit from flyin’
The ones about the messes I’ve made
And how it’s hard for a man like me to change
I bet she’d run as far as she could get
Cause she ain’t heard the sad songs yet
Ain’t heard the sad songs yet

Hell I don’t know the kinda thing she looks for in a man
If she knew me would I even stand a chance

She ain’t heard the sad songs yet
Bout the all night whiskey and the cigarettes
The long string of hearts I left cryin’
The rock bottom that I hit from flyin’
The ones about the messes I’ve made
And how it’s hard for a man like me to change
I bet she’d run as far as she could get
Yeah she ain’t one of my lines about regret
But she ain’t heard the sad songs yet

Ain’t heard the sad songs yet

Watching that dust cloud
Boiling up behind the plow
Tractor on its last leg
But he ain’t giving up yet
Been going through a dry spell
Been a while since the rain fell
Seeing what that dirt’s put him through
Tomorrow’s gotta be hard to do

CHORUS
It’s like watching you love me
Watching you wanna walk away but you stay
And you pray and you see it through
Like believers do
It’s like watching you love me

It’s drawing hearts in the sand
Waves coming faster than your hand
Fight the tide all day and then
Wake up and do it all again

It’s like watching you love me
Watching you wanna walk away but you stay
And you pray and you see it through
Like believers do
Like wondering why somebody keeps trying
And thanking god that they do
It’s like watching you love me
Watching you love me

It’s like watching you love me
Watching you wanna walk away but you stay
And you pray and you see it through
Like believers do
Like wondering why somebody keeps trying
And thanking god that they do
It’s like watching you love me
Watching you love me

Watching you love me

He gets up before the dawn
Packs a lunch and a thermos full of coffee
It's another day in the dusty haze
Those burning rays are wearing down his body
The diesel's worth the price of gold
It's the cheapest grain he's ever sold
But he's still holdin' on

He just takes the tractor another round
And pulls the plow across the ground
And sends up another prayer
He says, "Lord, I never complain, I never ask why
Please don't let my dreams run dry
Underneath, underneath this Amarillo sky."

That hail storm back in '83
Sure did take a toll on his family
He stayed strong and carried on
Just like his dad and granddad did before him
On his knees every night
He prays, "Please let my crops and children grow."
'Cause that's all he's ever known

He just takes the tractor another round
And pulls the plow across the ground
And sends up another prayer
He says, "Lord, I never complain, I never ask why
Please don't let my dreams run dry
Underneath, underneath this Amarillo sky."

And he takes the tractor another round, another round, another round
And he takes the tractor another round, another round
He says, "I never complain, I never ask why
Please don't let my dreams run dry
Underneath, underneath this Amarillo sky
Underneath this Amarillo sky."

Quit my job flipped off the boss took my name of the payroll.

Wait out by the road i'm comin' to pick you up.

Throw your suitcase in the back,

Done gassed up the Pontiac,

Blastin' out to Johnny Cash, headin' for the highway,
Baby we ain't ever comin' back.

We'll send her a souvenier postcard from the wild side.

Throw your suitcase in the back,

She's a hot little number in her pick-up truck
Daddy's sweet money done jacked it up
She's a party-all-nighter from South Carolina, a bad mamajama from down in Alabama
She's a raging cajun, a lunatic from Brunswick, juicy Georgia peach
With a thick Southern drawl, sexy swing and walk, brother she's all

Country, (shoot) from her cowboy boots to her down home roots
She's country, from the songs she plays to the prayers she prays,
That's the way she was born and raised, she ain't afraid to stay, country
Brother she's country

A hell raisin sugar when the sun goes down, mama taught her how to rip up a town
Honey dripping honey from the hollering Kentucky,
Get ya flipping kinda trippie like a Mississippi hippie,
She’s a Kansas princess, crazy mother trucker, undercover lover
Thick Southern drawl, sexy swing and walk,
Brother she's all

Country (shoot) from her cowboy boots to her down home roots
She's country, from the songs she plays to the prayers she prays,
That's the way she was born and raised, she ain't afraid to stay, country
Nothing but country

Brother she's country, from her cowboy boots to her down home roots
Nothing but country
Yea yeah
She's country (shoot) from her cowboy boots to her down home roots
She's country, from the songs she plays to the prayers she prays,
That's the way she was born and raised she ain't afraid to stay, country
Yea she's nothing but country

She's all about the country
From the backwoods she's a homegrown, down to the bone, She's country

She had a shiny little beamer with the ragtop down
Sittin' in the drive but she wouldn't get out
The dogs were all barkin' and waggin' around
And I just laughed and said, "y'all get in"
She had on a new dress and she curled her hair
She was lookin' too good not to go somewhere
Said, "what you wanna do?" "baby, I don't care"
We can go to the show we can stay right here

And I can take you for a ride on my big green tractor
We can go slow or make it go faster
Down through the woods and out to the pasture
Long as I'm with you, it really don't matter
Climb up in my lap and drive if you want to
Girl, you know you got me to hold onto
We can go to town, but baby, if you'd rather
I'll take you for a ride on my big green tractor

Said we can fire it up and I can show you around
Sit up on the hill and watch the sun go down
When the fireflies are dancin' and the moon comes out
We can turn on the lights and head back to the house

Or we can take another ride on my big green tractor
We can go slow or make it go faster
Down through the woods and out to the pasture
Long as I'm with you, it really don't matter
Climb up in my lap and drive if you want to
Girl, you know you got me to hold onto
We can go to town, but baby, if you'd rather
I'll take you for a ride on my big green tractor

Just let me dust off the seat
Mm, put your pretty little arms around me

You can climb up in my lap and drive if you want to
Girl, you know you got me to hold onto
We can go to town, but baby, if you'd rather
I'll take you for a ride on my big green tractor

Oh, yeah, yeah
We can go to town
Or we can go another round
On my big green tractor

I worked all week.
Cleaned up, clean cut, and clean shaved.
I got the cover off the '68.
I fired it up, and let them horses sing.
A little pretty thing.
A little tan leg georgia dream.
She's a rockin' them holey jeans.
Baby, what you got goin' on saturday?
You know, words got it, there's gonna be a party,
Out of town about half a mile.
Four wheel drives and big mud tires.
Muscadine wine

Oh baby, you can find me.
In the back of a jacked up tailgate.
Sittin' 'round watchin' all these pretty things.
Get down in that Georgia clay
And I'll find peace.
At the bottom of a real tall cold drink.
Chillin' with some Skynyrd and some old Hank.
Let's get this thing started.
It's my kinda party.

Well if you wanna drink.
Go baby, just do your thing.
But give up your keys.
Hell why drive when you can stay with me?
And then after while we'll sneak away from the bonfire.
Walk by the moonlight and down to the riverside.
Gotcha sippin' on some moonshine.
Baby, if you're in the mood and you can settle for a one night rodeo.
You could be my tan-legged Juliet,
I'll be your redneck Romeo.

Oh baby, you can find me.
In the back of a jacked up tailgate.
Sittin' 'round watchin' all these pretty things.
Get down in that Georgia clay.
And I'll find peace.
At the bottom of a real tall cold drink.
Chillin' with some Skynyrd and some old Hank.
Let's get this thing started.
It's my kinda party.

Y'all go head and turn it on up.
Ha!
