Country Girl And My Guitar 04:29
lyrics
buy track
I can’t say I’m surprised or that there were tears in my eyes I still see her in the things she gave me And hear her calling me baby But I’m just a little too country She wants big city lights I’m missing starlit nights She’s not ready to settle down I’m looking for the one and a small town I was hoping we’d go far But now I know all I need is a country girl and my guitar She said I was the one and I thought she was brighter than the sun But my heart went deeper and she was just lies Is there a woman as honest as open skies? She wants big city lights I’m missing starlit nights She’s not ready to settle down I’m looking for the one and a small town I was hoping we’d go far But now I know all I need is a country girl and my guitar Let me find a girl with backroads and mountains in her mind Let her be the kind to start something real Nothing like the girl who… Wants big city lights I’m missing starlit nights I’m glad we didn’t go far ‘Cause now I know all I need is a country girl and my guitar

Names On The Shot Glass 04:48
lyrics

There’s a slideshow in the back of my mind Of smiles that turned to tears I’ll never understand how love doesn’t fade I hoped Johnnie Walker could erase the years we made Raise a bottle to all the girls who never stay I put their names on the shot glass My friends say this will pass But I give the barman my keys And drown myself in anything but memories If I had to count how many girls walked away from me I’d run out of fingers and sanity I’d say this is the one that won’t end Then I’m alone in the bar again Raise a bottle to all the girls who never stay I put their names on the shot glass My friends say this will pass But I give the barman my keys And drown myself in anything but memories I won’t see you in my hungover head I won’t miss you when I stumble into bed But when my glass is dry I know I’ll think of you 'til I die Raise a bottle to all the girls who never stay

Still Think Of Those 04:06
lyrics

If someone told me I'd still see those blue eyes I'd have called them crazy But I still see them from time to time 'cause When you're eighteen, the Southern sky seemed sweeter When you're eighteen, you thank the stars you had the chance to meet her When you're eighteen, the world crashes down when she walks away When you're older, so much older You still think of that day If things had ended well maybe I wouldn't put myself through so much hell But I'm sitting here, another new year Thinkin' 'bout the first girl who stole my heart 'cause When you're eighteen, the Southern sky seemed sweeter When you're eighteen, you thank the stars you had the chance to meet her When you're eighteen, the world crashes down when she walks away When you're older, so much older You still think of that day I'm years past that girl now I'm two women past that girl now But there's still that song on the radio Still that car with the window down All the places we'll never go All the things we'll never know When you're eighteen, the Southern sky seemed sweeter When you're eighteen, you thank the stars you had the chance to meet her When you're eighteen, the world crashes down when she walks away When you're older, so much older You still think of that day Baby girl I still think of those Blue eyes

You Don't 04:25
lyrics

The invites should have been sent by now I should be fluttering, memorizing my vows You should be with your father, walking down the aisle We haven't had this date circled in a while Because You don't, you don't But I still do, I do Even though part of me wants to hate you I still see those rings and everything we could be You said the honeymoon would be a surprise I told you my love would last long after this heart dies We planned this entire thing a year ago I never thought I'd see your face and know You don't, you don't But I still do, I do Even though part of me wants to hate you I still see those rings and everything we could be Sometimes, I'm happy I'm on my own Sometimes, I remember I wasn't always alone We could have been, we would have been, we once were I meant it when I said I'd love you forever But you don't, you don't But I still do, I do Even though part of me wants to hate you I still see those rings and everything we could be We would be, we could be

Listen To Your Smile 03:44
lyrics
buy track
I can see the stars through your eyes I want to paint our names on orange skies I know your heart is one I’d never forget No matter, I won’t regret you I’m sure you’ve heard this before now But there’s nobody like you Give me a chance to tell you how I feel Kick off those high heels, stay a while So I can listen to your smile It didn’t take long to see how beautiful you are You’re like fireflies released from their jar I wish I had your glow, your gorgeous mind Your words are the prettiest things I’ll ever find I’m sure you’ve heard this before now But there’s nobody like you Give me a chance to tell you how I feel Kick off those high heels, stay a while So I can listen to your smile Be my yesterday Be my tomorrow Just stay Stay I’m sure you’ve heard this before now But there’s nobody like you Give me a chance to tell you how I feel Kick off those high heels, stay a while So I can listen to your smile

Real For Me 03:48
lyrics
buy track
My mind says you aren't worth a song Yet here it is I told you I still write about you I hope you know coming back was a foolish thing to do I was ready to give us a second chance But you still didn't want it Don't tell me this happens all the time I haven't found a perfect rhyme since I felt your heart beating Have you figured out this was real for me? I still don't understand why you had to find me For a "Hello, how ya been?" I'd be better off thinking you forgot me Than knowing this meant less to you I was ready to give us a second chance But you still didn't want it Don't tell me this happens all the time I haven't found a perfect rhyme since I felt your heart beating Have you figured out this was real for me? I only ask one thing Forget me I remember enough for both of us I haven't found a perfect rhyme since I felt your heart beating Have you figured out this was real for me? This was real for me

That Girl Is A Highway 04:33
lyrics
buy track
I got my window rolled down I’m taking the two-lane out of this town I’m going too fast, but I Gotta outrun the things that don’t last Here’s to everyday I knew her name I can’t lie, I cried, when she said there’s no one to blame That girl is a highway, the exit signs Say we can’t stay this way We’ve been a thousand miles Topping eighty-five, feeling so alive But taking it slow, turning off the radio, Let me know how far we could go Until we ran out of road Here’s to everyday I knew her name I can’t lie, I cried, when she said there’s no one to blame That girl is a highway, the exit signs Say we can’t stay this way We’ve seen West Virginia, Georgia, and Tennessee But Maryland’s where she’ll leave me Waving goodbye, asking why Give me one more day, one more hour One more breath beside her Here’s to everyday I knew her name I can’t lie, I cried, when she said there’s no one to blame That girl is a highway, the exit signs Say we can’t stay this way No. we can't stay this way

Every Album Cover 04:32
lyrics
buy track
I play the same chords over and over I use the same strum that beats like a paper drum in my mind I find that I neglect this six string And feel like everyone already knows my melody I can’t say this one is different And not about some girl, she makes my heart beat faster I wish that I weren’t an awkward disaster Hiding behind an instrument I never want to wonder where time alone with her went I could sing about her pretty eyes, pretty face But that’s every worn lyric in every album cover I could say that I love her, want some more of her But everybody knows how it goes I’m the last thing in her head I can’t say this one is different And not about some girl, she makes my heart beat faster I wish that I weren’t an awkward disaster Hiding behind an instrument I never want to wonder where time alone with her went When I talk too much about myself or anything Even when I don’t know what to say I’m singing her name in my chest The speakers tell me I’ll always be Second best I can't say this one is different, it's not different I never want to wonder where time alone with her went I’m wondering
