Good At Tonight lyrics - David Nail (feat. Brothers Osborne)

The stars and the weather
They won't last forever
But we've got 'em lined up right now
We both know in the morning
I'll probably be going
Chasing the sunshine south

I'm a half-assed poet
I'm crazy and I know it
Just one step ahead or behind
I ain't much for the morning
But I've always been good at tonight

Yesterday's history
Tomorrow's a mystery
Go ahead and guess all you want
There's no rhyme or reason
For wasting time thinking 'bout
What's gonna go right or wrong
I'm a straight shot, no chaser
One chance in hell taker
But you can come along for the ride
I should come with a warning
Yeah, I've always been good at tonight
Oh, yeah

Come on and dance with me
Throw your arms around me
I'll follow that fire in your eyes
Let's take it all right now
'Fore that moon goes out
Kiss me like there's no goodbye
I'm a stone made for rolling
But I've always been good at tonight

The stars and the weather
They won't last forever
But we've got 'em
Lined up just right
Who cares where we're going
'Cause we're getting good at tonight

Come on and dance with me
Throw your arms around me
I'll follow that fire in your eyes
Let's take it all right now
'Fore that moon goes out
Kiss me like there's no goodbye
I'm a stone made for rolling
Not much for the morning
I'll give you a warning
I've always been good at tonight

1, 2, 3, whoo
Come on, come on, come on
Come on

Night's On Fire lyrics - David Nail

Cue the music out the driveway
Slow summer on a Friday
Here we go again, wild in the wind
Mama knows she’s gonna be late

Hit the party just to watch her dance
Good to go when she grabs your hand
Like a shot from a gun, it’s a dead run
The first leg of a getaway plan

You burn rubber when you smoke them tires
Day’s gone and the night’s on fire

She’s telling you turn off the highway
The sunset melts all the blue away
Blackbird watching on the telephone wire
Whiskey on her lips and the night’s on fire

Littered with stars close enough to touch
July promise in the back of that truck
Her every move was taking you higher
You try to play it cool but the night’s on fire

She’s a seat laid back, a boy’s dream
Drawin’ hearts in the window steam
She’s a gettin’ you right, knows what you like
And pours it on like gasoline

When you know what you’re headed to
What’s a red blooded boy to do

She’s telling you turn off the highway
The sunset melts all the blue away
Blackbird watching on the telephone wire
Whiskey on her lips and the night’s on fire

Littered with stars close enough to touch
July promise in the back of that truck
Her every move was taking you higher
You try to play it cool but the night’s on fire
You try to play it cool but the night’s on fire

She’s telling you turn off the highway
The sunset melts all the blue away
Blackbird watching on the telephone wire
Whiskey on her lips and the night’s on fire

Littered with stars close enough to touch
July promise in the back of that truck
Her every move was taking you higher
You try to play it cool but the night’s on fire
You try to play it cool but the night’s on fire

You try to play it cool but the night’s on fire


Ease Your Pain lyrics - David Nail

I can be your
Midnight "Are you up"
Every time that he does
He does you like he does
I can let you dry your tears
Tell you what you wanna hear
But when you've had enough

Baby I
I can be the shot of whiskey
Your memory novocaine
I can be the sunshine
Shining through the rain
Let me be the wine addiction
Running in your veins
You don't have to hurt no more
Baby, I can ease your pain
Baby, I can ease your pain

I can't read your mind
Girl it's up to you
We could take the edge off
If that's what you wanna do
Bring your misery
And lay it all on me
You don't need no 100 proof

Baby I
I can be the shot of whiskey
Your memory novocaine
I can be the sunshine
Shining through the rain
Let me be the wine addiction
Running in your veins
You don't have to hurt no more
Baby, I can ease your pain
Baby, I can ease your pain

Come on, let me fix you up
Let me be your favourite drug
Come on, let me fix you up
Let me be your favourite drug
Come on, let me fix you up
Let me be your favourite drug
Come on, let me fix you up

Baby I
I can be the shot of whiskey
Your memory novocaine
I can be the sunshine
Shining through the rain
Let me be the wine addiction
Running in your veins
You don't have to hurt no more
Baby, I can ease your pain
Baby, I can ease your pain

Baby, I can ease your pain
Baby, I can ease your pain

Home lyrics - David Nail (feat. Lori McKenna)

Got the window rolled down
Hand in the air
Ain't a much better feeling
Than the feeling of the freedom there
Mississippi River
Start singing to me
I got the window rolled down
I was always a dreamer
Misunderstood
I guess I wouldn't have been different
If I could
But who I've been
And who I'm trying to be
Always a dreamer

It's where you're from
It's your oldest friend
And you think it will forget you when you go
But you know it'll take you back in
It won't fade away
It'll watch you leave
Stay sitting there waiting in the fields
In the sky in a storm
In your blood and your bones
Home

We were just babies
Thinking love was a race
We always taking it further
And everybody else our age
We were grain in the gravel
We were still green
Oh we were just babies

It's where you're from
It's your oldest friend
And you think it will forget you when you go
But you know it'll take you back in
It won't fade away
It'll watch you leave
Stay sitting there waiting in the fields
In the sky in a storm
In your blood and your bones
Home

If you were just driving through town you'd be telling yourself
This is just nowhere, somewhere, bypass, don't care
The only way to somewhere else
But damn it ain't the way it felt

It's where you're from
It's your oldest friend
And you think it will forget you when you go
But you know it'll take you back in
It won't fade away
It'll watch you leave
Stay sitting there waiting in the fields
In the sky in a storm
In your blood and your bones
Home

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Lie With Me lyrics - David Nail

I felt this coming for a month or two
You don't look at me like you used to do
Still when you leave it's gonna be too soon
Give me a minute while we're still in it

Lie with me
Hold me like you mean it
Kiss me like you're loving only me tonight
Make me
Feel like it ain't over
Go a little slower baby one last time
It ain't the truth that's gonna set me free
Come on, come on
Lie with me

Go put your favorite Mayer record on
Do what you need to feel it all night long
Make me believe you ain't already gone
Let's take our last time, make it our best time

Lie with me
Hold me like you mean it
Kiss me like you're loving only me tonight
Make me
Feel like it ain't over
Go a little slower baby one last time
It ain't the truth that's gonna set me free
Come on, come on
Lie with me

Love me like you mean it
Like you're in it
You owe me that much now
Don't leave me here with nothing
Give me something
Baby, what's the rush now?

Lie with me
Hold me like you mean it
Kiss me like you're loving only me tonight
Make me
Feel like it ain't over
Go a little slower baby one last time
It ain't the truth that's gonna set me free
Come on, come on
Lie with me
Lie with me

I Won't Let You Go lyrics - David Nail (feat. Vince Gill)

I know better
Still wish it were easier
Back and forth, the up and down
Caught up in a moment
The words start flying
And we go round and round and round
No sign of a finish line
Never a real last time

I know that this is hard to do
You loving me, me loving you
So long since we have felt brand new
But I won't let you go
I wish I knew the reasons why
The scenes we only falsified
No matter who is wrong or right
I won't let you go
I won't ever let you go

You say that it's over
Can't go on any longer
Trying to be the perfect wife
So sick of tomorrow
Oh, it never changes
Hell, I even hate myself sometimes
But I swore till my dying day
I swear that won't ever change

I know that this is hard to do
You loving me, me loving you
So long since we have felt brand new
But I won't let you go
I wish I knew the reasons why
The scenes we only falsified
No matter who is wrong or right
I won't let you go
I won't ever let you go

I know that this is hard to do
You loving me, me loving you
So long since we have felt brand new
But I won't let you go
I wish I knew the reasons why
The scenes we only falsified
No matter who is wrong or right
I won't let you go
I won't ever let you go

I know better
Still wish it were easier
Back and forth, the up and down

Fighter lyrics - David Nail

Don't think that I don't see the way you struggle
Watching me struggle
Don't think that I don't feel you turn away
Every time I turn away

And please believe that I believe
When I'm praying
That you're right beside me praying
For the same thing

You're 5' 3" born in Carolina
Front pew pretty
And Friday night free
You're dashboard singing
Little red Corvette
Sweet as forgiveness
From the moment that we met
I never knew I had a fighter

I know when you're silent
The silence says more than a scream
And I know when you say that you hate me
It ain't what you mean
When you say that you'll leave and you'll leave
But only for a while
For just a while

You're stubborn and strong
Crazy as New Orleans
Your faded blue denim
A diamond on the town
My t-shirt in the morning
Midnight in my hands
At day [?] you're still here, I just don't understand
Never knew I had a fighter

Just when I thought I knew everything about you
You're 5' 3" born in Carolina
Still front pew pretty
And Friday night free
You're dashboard singing
Little red Corvette
Sweet as forgiveness
From the moment that we met
I Never knew I had a fighter
I Never knew I had a fighter

Please believe that I believe when I'm praying that you're right beside me praying
Never knew I had a fighter

Babies lyrics - Babies

I was a hard-going push mowing hard-laying kid
Baseball and MTV
Turned into a blue jean midnight Chevrolet cigarette do about anything
Spend a decade chasing a dream and a love and I cough me a couple I guess
But for ever thrill that I chased down
It's easy to confess
I found a better kind of crazy
Now that I've got babies

And good things come to those who wait
Used to think that's just something people say
So imagine when you get the news
After years of trying
Not just one but two

She was Memphis ol miss outta my league
Saturday night friend of a friend
Once the fuse was lit
The fire burned quick
2 months she was moving in
We were just getting by
Still newlyweds high
Not tried, but oh so true
We were half empty bottles
Of barefoot wine
Free falling and bullet proof
But I've found a better kind of crazy
Now that I've got babies

And good things come to those who wait
Used to think that's just something people say
So imagine when you get the news
After years of trying
Not just one but two

You were prayed about
All planned out
Even had us a couple good names
After 4 hard years and no close calls
And no one else to blame
I was going crazy
Thank God you came and saved me
I got babies

Got Me Gone lyrics - David Nail

I'm a train
Barreling down the track
No looking back, no brakes
Girl I'm only picking up speed
I'm rain
Falling from a cloud
On the edge of town, no trace
Of a storm I used to be

You got me
Gone
You're turning it on
Oh, showing just enough skin and you got me
Gone
The blue and the blonde
Your pretty lips whispering
Saying everything you wanna do to me
Soon as you get me alone
But you got me
Gone
You got me

I'm a mess
My heart's beating out of my chest
And I'm a wreck
On the dress that you used to have on

You got me
Gone
You're turning it on
Oh, showing just enough skin and you got me
Gone
The blue and the blonde
Your pretty lips whispering
Saying everything you wanna do to me
Soon as you get me alone
But you got me
Gone
You got me
Gone
Yeah, you got me gone

You got me
Gone
You're turning it on
Oh, showing just enough skin and you got me
Gone
The blue and the blonde
Your pretty lips whispering
Saying everything you wanna do to me
Soon as you get me alone
But you got me
Gone
You got me
Gone
Yeah, you got me gone

Champagne Promise lyrics - David Nail

Look at you don't play fair
Not a word, just standing there
You always know what dress to wear
And how to take it off
Second glass and candlelight
In the moment it feels so right
You whisper that you want to stay the night
I just laugh because

You ain't nothing but a champagne promise
All the signs are saying I should be more cautious
You keep coming closer and there ain't no stopping
No I can't ever slow you down
And girl I know what you're really wanting
Before you get to going let me tell you something
You ain't nothing but a champagne promise
And baby you're the finest around

Sweet lips and pretty lies
Say you love me one more time
But she'll be gone before you say goodbye
Cause you never do

You ain't nothing but a champagne promise
All the signs are saying I should be more cautious
You keep coming closer and there ain't no stopping
No I can't ever slow you down
Girl I know what you're really wanting
Before you get to going let me tell you something
You ain't nothing but a champagne promise
And baby you're the finest around

Oh you're like a bluff
A temporary rush
You like a thought of us

But you ain't nothing but a champagne promise
All the signs are saying I should be more cautious
You keep coming closer and there ain't no stopping
I can't ever slow you down
Girl I know what you're really wanting
Before you get to going let me tell you something
You ain't nothing but a champagne promise
And baby you're the finest around
A champagne promise
You're the finest around
You're the finest around

Old Man's Symphony lyrics - David Nail (feat. Bear Rinehart & Bo Rinehart)

My father plays piano
Any song you wanna hear
He can read music
But he'd rather play by ear
I grew up just trying hard
To keep up with the man
Hoping one day I could be
The leader of the band

I remember growing up
Not knowing where to lean
Could I ever measure up
If I did the music thing
Never much on singing
He'd just rather play along
Guess that's how I ended up
With this microphone

I can hold a guitar
But I'll never play the lead
The only way I'm gonna entertain
Is in these words I sing
I could be famous
But I'll never wish to be
I just wanna be an ode
In the old man's symphony

I moved to Nashville
When my friends left for school
Most folks in my hometown
Said I was a fool
Cause I can never make it here
If my dad never did
Guess there is a part of me
That still agrees with them

Cause I can hold a guitar
But I'll never play the lead
The only way I'm gonna entertain
Is in these words I sing
I could be famous
But I'll never wish to be
I just wanna be an ode
In the old man's symphony
I could be famous
But I'll never wish to be
I just long be an ode
In the old man's symphony

"I'm A Fire" (2014)

Whatever She's Got lyrics - David Nail

She's a little complicated
She'll make her mind up just to change it
The kind of girl that keeps you waitin', waitin' around
She likes to get her toes done bright red
She's always reapplying her lipstick
The muddy river bank shes the first in and last out
She's got something I can't figure out
That everybody's talking about

Shes got the blue jeans painted on tight
That everybody wants on a Saturday night
She got the mood ring, she's never the same
She's sunny one minute then she's pouring down rain.
And she'll do whatever she wants
And when she moves every jaw's gonna drop
And I do but I don't want her to stop
I want, I want I want whatever she's got
I want whatever she's got

Tell your mind before you thought it
What you thought your plan was park it
To figure out where your heart is so twisted up
Have you spendin' every weekend
And every penny you've been keepin'
Just to figure out what she's thinkin' when you're thinkin' it's love

Cause she got the blue jeans painted on tight
That everybody wants on a Saturday night
She got the mood ring, she never the same
She's sunny one minute then she's pouring down rain.
And she'll do whatever she wants
And when she moves every jaw's gonna drop
And I do, but I don't want her to stop
I want, I want, I want whatever she's got
I want whatever she's got

She's got me hangin' on the ledge
On the edge of a kiss
All I ever wanna do is this

She got the blue jeans painted on tight
That everybody wants on a Saturday night
She got the mood ring, she's never the same
I want, I want, I want, I want, I want

She got the blue jeans painted on tight
That everybody wants on a Saturday night
She got the mood ring, she's never the same
She's sunny one minute then she's pouring down rain
And she'll do whatever she wants
And when she moves every jaw's gonna drop
And I do but I don't want her to stop
I want, I want, I want
Whatever she's got
I want whatever she's got

She's a little bit complicated
That's alright
Doesn't matter I'll keep on waiting
For whatever she's got
For whatever she's got

Broke My Heart lyrics - David Nail

Just the way you float through a crowded room
With that long, tangled blonde hanging down
Just the way you move to the groove playing in my head
The soft of your lips, the touch of your hand
The being your man when it's time to go

Even if you'd never broke my heart
Even if you'd never broke my heart
I'd still be begging you to tear it apart
Even if you'd never broke my heart

If you were mine again by now
We'd be making out in the backseat of a city cab
We'd hit the floor just past the door 'cause we can't wait
Baby, we can't wait
It'd be the sun coming through
The window and you still being here

Even if you'd never broke my heart
Even if you'd never broke my heart
I'd still be begging you to tear it apart
Even if you'd never broke my heart
[x3]

Even if you'd never broke my heart
