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
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
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
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
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

And you think it will forget you when you go
But you know it'll take you back in

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
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

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
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

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
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
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
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
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

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
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
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
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

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
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
Burnin' Bed lyrics - David Nail
Tangled, vodka, midnight
Can't stay, taxi, goodnight
Then you kiss me
And it's on again
Here in the dark all it takes is a spark
And I fall right back in
This burnin' bed's the kinda burn
That's gonna burn us from the inside out
This burnin' bed is gonna burn us
'Til we're ashes scattered on the ground
Here in your arms
My heart can't get you out of my head
And so burn baby, burn baby, turn down this burnin' bed
Goodbye's just a liar
Oh, 'cause goodbye fans this fire
And makes me want you
Like I do right now
Your lips find my lips
And my hands find your hips
And I just lay you down in
This burnin' bed's the kinda burn
That's gonna burn us from the inside out
This burnin' bed is gonna burn us
'Til we're ashes scattered on the ground
Here in your arms
My heart can't get you out of my head
And so burn baby, burn baby, turn down this burnin' bed
Here in your arms
My heart can't get you out of my head
And so burn baby, burn baby, turn down this burnin' bed
Turn down this burnin' bed
Can't stay, taxi, goodnight
Then you kiss me
And it's on again
Here in the dark all it takes is a spark
And I fall right back in
This burnin' bed's the kinda burn
That's gonna burn us from the inside out
This burnin' bed is gonna burn us
'Til we're ashes scattered on the ground
Here in your arms
My heart can't get you out of my head
And so burn baby, burn baby, turn down this burnin' bed
Goodbye's just a liar
Oh, 'cause goodbye fans this fire
And makes me want you
Like I do right now
Your lips find my lips
And my hands find your hips
And I just lay you down in
This burnin' bed's the kinda burn
That's gonna burn us from the inside out
This burnin' bed is gonna burn us
'Til we're ashes scattered on the ground
Here in your arms
My heart can't get you out of my head
And so burn baby, burn baby, turn down this burnin' bed
Here in your arms
My heart can't get you out of my head
And so burn baby, burn baby, turn down this burnin' bed
Turn down this burnin' bed
When They're Gone (Lyle County) lyrics - David Nail (feat. Little Big Town)
Look at that worn out rusty engine
Sitting there begging for a spark
Don't look like much in that condition
But there was a time you should've seen her run
Down every back road in Lyle County
Under every streetlight up on Main
You sitting there drumming on a dashboard
Both of us falling like a fickle rain
We were
Cooler than December, hotter than July
Young and strong
Some things aren't meant to last forever
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone, so come on
She had hair tangled as the kudzu
Legs as long as the trails that cut through
Those back acres to the river bend
She had her daddy's temper and her momma's flair
Made people talk but did not care
Try anything once ain't scared of nothing
Yeah, we were
Cooler than December, hotter than July
Young and strong
Some things aren't meant to last forever
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone, so come on
Come on
Don't mean you forget 'em
I still ride down those old roads
Even if it's in my mind
Tight blue jeans and winding curves
Keep me turning on a dime, yeah, just like the time
When we were
Cooler than December, hotter than July
Young and strong
Some things aren't meant to last forever
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone
Oh, we were
Cooler than December, hotter than July
Young and strong
Some things aren't meant to last forever
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're
Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone, so come on
Come on
Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone
So come on, come on
Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone
So come on, come on
So come on, come on
Sitting there begging for a spark
Don't look like much in that condition
But there was a time you should've seen her run
Down every back road in Lyle County
Under every streetlight up on Main
You sitting there drumming on a dashboard
Both of us falling like a fickle rain
We were
Cooler than December, hotter than July
Young and strong
Some things aren't meant to last forever
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone, so come on
She had hair tangled as the kudzu
Legs as long as the trails that cut through
Those back acres to the river bend
She had her daddy's temper and her momma's flair
Made people talk but did not care
Try anything once ain't scared of nothing
Yeah, we were
Cooler than December, hotter than July
Young and strong
Some things aren't meant to last forever
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone, so come on
Come on
Don't mean you forget 'em
I still ride down those old roads
Even if it's in my mind
Tight blue jeans and winding curves
Keep me turning on a dime, yeah, just like the time
When we were
Cooler than December, hotter than July
Young and strong

Oh, we were

Young and strong
Some things aren't meant to last forever
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're
Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone, so come on
Come on
Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone
So come on, come on
Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone
So come on, come on
So come on, come on
Brand New Day - David Nail
These streets are like an ol' jean jacket
Feels good anytime
What have I been waiting for?
It's high time that I dust off the magic
Put my face back in the crowd
And find somebody new
My phone used to ring but I just wasn't ready
The smell of the smoke and the tunes too heavy
One memory would tear down the levy
But tonight I don't feel a thing
Finally, yeah, I've made it through the rebound
The past ain't dragging me down
I'm back to who I was before you
On a perfect night
There's no telling where or what I might
Find before the morning light
Starts a brand new day
Even that autumn air feels sweeter
Filling up my chest
There's a comfort in the cold
And somehow the taste of these Budweiser's
Fit just like a friend
They welcome me to lean
Yeah, you live and you learn and you try to do better
She wanted to go and I finally let her
But broken hearts like wood will splinter
Tonight I don't feel a thing
Finally, yeah, I've made it through the rebound
The past ain't dragging me down
I'm back to who I was before you
On a perfect night
There's no telling where or what I might
Find before the morning light
Starts a brand new day
[x2]
Yeah, starts a brand new day
Yeah, you live and you learn
You live and you learn and you try to do better
She wanted to go
Just trying to be better
My phone used to ring but I just wasn't ready
The smell of the smoke and the tunes too heavy
One memory would tear down the levy
Just like a friend
Yeah, you live and you learn and you try to do better
She wanted to go and I finally let her
Yeah, I finally let her go
Feels good anytime
What have I been waiting for?
It's high time that I dust off the magic
Put my face back in the crowd
And find somebody new
My phone used to ring but I just wasn't ready
The smell of the smoke and the tunes too heavy
One memory would tear down the levy
But tonight I don't feel a thing
Finally, yeah, I've made it through the rebound
The past ain't dragging me down
I'm back to who I was before you
On a perfect night
There's no telling where or what I might
Find before the morning light
Starts a brand new day
Even that autumn air feels sweeter
Filling up my chest
There's a comfort in the cold
And somehow the taste of these Budweiser's

Tonight I don't feel a thing
Finally, yeah, I've made it through the rebound

Yeah, starts a brand new day
Yeah, you live and you learn
You live and you learn and you try to do better

Yeah, I finally let her go
Kiss You Tonight lyrics - David Nail
I catch myself wishing
You were whispering my name
Every star, every scar
Every mark upon my heart
Up and fades away
I feel myself missing
Everything I threw away
Every dream, every scene
Every song we'd ever sing
Got lost in yesterday
I've been trying to do without you
But I can't give up this fight
Everything will be alright
If I can kiss you tonight
We can make it to tomorrow
If we can find the morning light
Everything will be alright
If I can kiss you tonight
Do you find yourself wondering
If I still think about you
Every thought, every step
Every tear and every breath
I swear I do
Yeah, that's all I ever do
I've been trying to do without you
But I can't give up this fight
Everything will be alright
If I can kiss you tonight
We can make it to tomorrow
If we can find the morning light
Everything will be alright
If I can kiss you tonight
I've been trying to do without you
But I can't give up this fight
Everything will be alright
If I can kiss you tonight
We can make it to tomorrow
If we can find the morning light
Everything will be alright
If I can kiss you tonight
If I can kiss you tonight
Everything will be alright
If I can kiss you tonight
If I can kiss you tonight
If I could kiss you tonight
You were whispering my name
Every star, every scar
Every mark upon my heart
Up and fades away
I feel myself missing
Everything I threw away
Every dream, every scene
Every song we'd ever sing
Got lost in yesterday
I've been trying to do without you
But I can't give up this fight
Everything will be alright
If I can kiss you tonight
We can make it to tomorrow
If we can find the morning light
Everything will be alright
If I can kiss you tonight
Do you find yourself wondering
If I still think about you
Every thought, every step
Every tear and every breath
I swear I do
Yeah, that's all I ever do
I've been trying to do without you
But I can't give up this fight
Everything will be alright
If I can kiss you tonight
We can make it to tomorrow
If we can find the morning light
Everything will be alright
If I can kiss you tonight
I've been trying to do without you
But I can't give up this fight
Everything will be alright
If I can kiss you tonight
We can make it to tomorrow
If we can find the morning light
Everything will be alright
If I can kiss you tonight
If I can kiss you tonight
Everything will be alright
If I can kiss you tonight
If I can kiss you tonight
If I could kiss you tonight
The Secret lyrics - David Nail
All gathered 'round in our Sunday best
After the service on them old church steps
Congregation spilling into the streets
Ain't it funny how the preacher's words
Disappear out here on the curb
Once the weight of an old friend's body and your hands meet
Tending bar up in Syracuse
Momma called when she got the news
Hell, I don't know who she'll miss more, you or me
No, it didn't feel real, no not 'til now
Behind this long black Lincoln in our little town
Rolling by buildings I never thought again I'd see
And I can't help but think about all that we could have been
Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Buried is the secret that was us
I can still see you standing there
Swollen eyes and snow in your hair
And your shaking voice say you couldn't get past the shame
Eight weeks into a nine month ride
Either way it's still a lie
Carrying your child with another man's name
And I can't help but think about all that we could have been
Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Buried is the secret that was us
I walk up and shake his hand, tell him just how sorry I am
And what I wouldn't give to have you back
I wonder if you're looking down on all who is gathered 'round
Knowing one day I too will find peace
And I can't help but think about all that we could have been
Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Buried is the secret that was us
Buried is the secret that was us
After the service on them old church steps
Congregation spilling into the streets
Ain't it funny how the preacher's words
Disappear out here on the curb
Once the weight of an old friend's body and your hands meet
Tending bar up in Syracuse
Momma called when she got the news
Hell, I don't know who she'll miss more, you or me
No, it didn't feel real, no not 'til now
Behind this long black Lincoln in our little town
Rolling by buildings I never thought again I'd see
And I can't help but think about all that we could have been
Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Buried is the secret that was us
I can still see you standing there
Swollen eyes and snow in your hair
And your shaking voice say you couldn't get past the shame
Eight weeks into a nine month ride
Either way it's still a lie
Carrying your child with another man's name
And I can't help but think about all that we could have been
Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Buried is the secret that was us
I walk up and shake his hand, tell him just how sorry I am
And what I wouldn't give to have you back
I wonder if you're looking down on all who is gathered 'round
Knowing one day I too will find peace
And I can't help but think about all that we could have been
Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Buried is the secret that was us
Buried is the secret that was us
Countin' Cars - David Nail
Almost midnight
Another one drives by
Sounds like a V8
Listen to it fade away
It ain't her, that's for sure
Just another night of
Watchin' headlights all night
Movin' 'cross the ceiling, prayin'
Slow down, turn now
I wish I was sleepin'
Instead of wonderin' where you are
Wide awake, countin' cars
There's nothin' like the sound
Of her wheels rollin' down
This old gravel driveway
Like she's done everyday
Comin' home girl, come on
I'm here goin' crazy
Watchin' headlights all night
Movin' 'cross the ceiling, prayin'
Slow down, turn now
I wish I was sleepin'
Instead of wonderin' where you are
Wide awake, countin' cars
I wonder if she's drivin' by
Goin' 'round and 'round in circles
Wide awake
Watchin' headlights all night
Movin' 'cross the ceiling, prayin'
Slow down, turn now
I wish I was sleepin'
Instead of wonderin' where you are
Wide awake, countin' cars
Oh, countin' cars
Countin' cars
Another one drives by
Sounds like a V8
Listen to it fade away
It ain't her, that's for sure
Just another night of
Watchin' headlights all night
Movin' 'cross the ceiling, prayin'
Slow down, turn now
I wish I was sleepin'
Instead of wonderin' where you are
Wide awake, countin' cars
There's nothin' like the sound
Of her wheels rollin' down
This old gravel driveway
Like she's done everyday
Comin' home girl, come on
I'm here goin' crazy
Watchin' headlights all night
Movin' 'cross the ceiling, prayin'
Slow down, turn now
I wish I was sleepin'
Instead of wonderin' where you are
Wide awake, countin' cars
I wonder if she's drivin' by
Goin' 'round and 'round in circles
Wide awake
Watchin' headlights all night
Movin' 'cross the ceiling, prayin'
Slow down, turn now
I wish I was sleepin'
Instead of wonderin' where you are
Wide awake, countin' cars
Oh, countin' cars
Countin' cars
Easy Love lyrics - David Nail
Come on girl, don't it feel good to you
Like a watermelon ripe on your lips
Somethin' 'bout the way you look at me, made me lose my breath
Radio, window down, sing to me
Every word, every note, every touch
In a world gettin' harder baby, it's an easy love
So, come on, let's get high like a whippoorwill
Shine bright like a summer sun
Feel the heat in between
Yeah, it tastes so sweet
Just like when we were young
It's an easy love
Carolina, come on and carry me
To that honeysuckle heaven you hold
Get lost in the feel of forever
And don't let it go
We can sway to the sound of the river
Scream every note at the top of our lungs
Oh yeah, don't it come so natural baby, this easy love
So, come on, let's get high like a whippoorwill
Shine bright like a summer sun
Feel the heat in between
Yeah, it tastes so sweet
Just like when we were young
It's an easy love
[x2]
Yeah, it's an easy love
How your tan lines shine, I can never resist
Still feels like the first every time we kissed
How your long brown hair flying 'round to the beat
Just like we were seventeen
It's an easy love
Oh, it's an easy love
Like a watermelon ripe on your lips
Somethin' 'bout the way you look at me, made me lose my breath
Radio, window down, sing to me
Every word, every note, every touch
In a world gettin' harder baby, it's an easy love
So, come on, let's get high like a whippoorwill
Shine bright like a summer sun
Feel the heat in between
Yeah, it tastes so sweet
Just like when we were young
It's an easy love
Carolina, come on and carry me
To that honeysuckle heaven you hold
Get lost in the feel of forever
And don't let it go
We can sway to the sound of the river
Scream every note at the top of our lungs
Oh yeah, don't it come so natural baby, this easy love
So, come on, let's get high like a whippoorwill
Shine bright like a summer sun
Feel the heat in between
Yeah, it tastes so sweet
Just like when we were young
It's an easy love
[x2]
Yeah, it's an easy love
How your tan lines shine, I can never resist
Still feels like the first every time we kissed
How your long brown hair flying 'round to the beat
Just like we were seventeen
It's an easy love
Oh, it's an easy love
I'm A Fire lyrics - David Nail
Well hey, this is you and me against the world
Two crazy kids, a boy and a girl
You're a spark, a match, I'm gasoline
You light me up honey, what I mean is
You put the beat in my heart
You put the smile on my face
You put the color in my sky
Otherwise a cloudy day
You put the swing in my dance
You put the speed in my run
Close your eyes, baby
Kiss the midnight sun
I'm a fire because of you
Oh, I'm a fire, burning blue
We're all gonna fall, that's part of the plan
Hold on to each other when we got no place to stand
When it feels like we're a million miles apart
I'll be shouting for you in the dark cause
You put the beat in my heart
You put the smile on my face
You put the color in my sky
Otherwise a cloudy day
You put the swing in my dance
You put the speed in my run
Close your eyes, baby
Kiss the midnight sun
I'm a fire because of you
Oh, I'm a fire, burning blue
[x2]
Yeah, I'm a fire because of you
Yeah, I'm a fire, burning blue
Yeah, I'm a fire
Yeah, I'm a fire
Baby, I'm a fire
Oh, I'm a fire, burning blue
Two crazy kids, a boy and a girl
You're a spark, a match, I'm gasoline
You light me up honey, what I mean is
You put the beat in my heart
You put the smile on my face
You put the color in my sky
Otherwise a cloudy day
You put the swing in my dance
You put the speed in my run
Close your eyes, baby
Kiss the midnight sun
I'm a fire because of you
Oh, I'm a fire, burning blue
We're all gonna fall, that's part of the plan
Hold on to each other when we got no place to stand
When it feels like we're a million miles apart
I'll be shouting for you in the dark cause
You put the beat in my heart
You put the smile on my face
You put the color in my sky
Otherwise a cloudy day
You put the swing in my dance
You put the speed in my run
Close your eyes, baby
Kiss the midnight sun
I'm a fire because of you
Oh, I'm a fire, burning blue
[x2]
Yeah, I'm a fire because of you
Yeah, I'm a fire, burning blue
Yeah, I'm a fire
Yeah, I'm a fire
Baby, I'm a fire
Oh, I'm a fire, burning blue
Galveston lyrics - David Nail (with Lee Ann Womack)
Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea winds blowin'
I still see her dark eyes glowin'
She was 21 when I left Galveston
Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea waves crashing
While I watch the cannons flashing
I clean my gun and dream of Galveston
I still see her standing by the water
Standing there lookin' out to sea
And is she waiting there for me?
On the beach where we used to run
Galveston, oh Galveston
I am so afraid of dying
Before I dry the tears she's crying
Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun
At Galveston, at Galveston
I still hear your sea winds blowin'
I still see her dark eyes glowin'
She was 21 when I left Galveston
Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea waves crashing
While I watch the cannons flashing
I clean my gun and dream of Galveston
I still see her standing by the water
Standing there lookin' out to sea
And is she waiting there for me?
On the beach where we used to run
Galveston, oh Galveston
I am so afraid of dying
Before I dry the tears she's crying
Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun
At Galveston, at Galveston
Grandpa's Farm lyrics - David Nail
It's gonna be a long, hot summer
The heat's gonna come for sure
Making you love me might take longer
But down here everything is slow
Sheets are blowin' on the clothesline
Honeysuckle makes it smell so sweet
The way they feel when ya lay down on 'em
You can't get from no machine
[Chorus:]
I know you come down every season
Waste time on your grandpa's farm
I ain't tryin' to talk you out of leavin'
A little sun won't do no harm
Go ahead and put your summer dress on
The sky's bright and the water's fine
And if you don't feel like swimmin'
We can find a bank and wet a line
'Cause I know up there in the city
Ain't no space to run 'round in
Down here we got dirt streets
Your bare feet can't help but settle down in
[Repeat Chorus]
Grandpa's farm
I'll show you around if you come outside
Ain't no need in hidin' yourself anyhow
I'll show you around if you come outside
Ain't no need in hidin' yourself anyhow
I'll show you around if you come outside
Ain't no need in hidin' yourself anyhow
[Repeat Chorus]
Yeah, I can show you around
Yeah, I can show you around
If you come outside
Ain't no need in hidin' yourself
The heat's gonna come for sure
Making you love me might take longer
But down here everything is slow
Sheets are blowin' on the clothesline
Honeysuckle makes it smell so sweet
The way they feel when ya lay down on 'em
You can't get from no machine
[Chorus:]
I know you come down every season
Waste time on your grandpa's farm
I ain't tryin' to talk you out of leavin'
A little sun won't do no harm
Go ahead and put your summer dress on
The sky's bright and the water's fine
And if you don't feel like swimmin'
We can find a bank and wet a line
'Cause I know up there in the city
Ain't no space to run 'round in
Down here we got dirt streets
Your bare feet can't help but settle down in
[Repeat Chorus]
Grandpa's farm
I'll show you around if you come outside
Ain't no need in hidin' yourself anyhow
I'll show you around if you come outside
Ain't no need in hidin' yourself anyhow
I'll show you around if you come outside
Ain't no need in hidin' yourself anyhow
[Repeat Chorus]
Yeah, I can show you around
Yeah, I can show you around
If you come outside
Ain't no need in hidin' yourself
Songs For Sale lyrics - David Nail (feat. Lee Ann Womack)
Boiled peanuts anytime, painted on a plywood sign
Pull to the shoulder and buy a sack
An old man with a dirty face swears they're the best you'll taste
Grows 'em fresh in that red dirt field outback, yeah, that's a fact
Grace is a mechanic's wife and their toe-head boys are her whole life
Sews patches on blue jeans night and day
Never does much for herself, doesn't dream of fame or wealth
Just a ballpark bleacher and a place to pray
Some are called to preach the gospel
String fence in Colorado
Some are born to raise a family
Swing a hammer at a nail
Haul bricks or carry mail
Go to college, Duke or Yale, but me
I got songs for sale
There's not a lot of tread on my tires, in some spots you can see the wires
Just hope they make it to the next town so I can sing
I'm still earning lots of lessons, I'm still calling it a profession
Travelin' 'round strummin' these guitar strings
Some are good at mending homes
Fixing drink and telephones
Some are born to wear pinstripes on their sleeves
Swing a hammer at a nail
Haul bricks or carry mail
Go to college, Duke or Yale, but me
I got songs for sale
I see it in a lot of places
I read it on a lot of faces
Some are called to preach the gospel
String fence in Colorado
Some are born to raise a family
Swing a hammer at a nail
Haul bricks or carry mail
Go to college, Duke or Yale, and me
Yeah me, I got songs for sale
Yeah, I got songs for sale
Pull to the shoulder and buy a sack
An old man with a dirty face swears they're the best you'll taste
Grows 'em fresh in that red dirt field outback, yeah, that's a fact

Desiree lyrics - David Nail
It's killin' me to write the word "goodbye"
I've wadded it up and tossed it a thousand times
We both know the reason
There ain't nothin' to explain
But I know that my leavin'
Will spare us both the pain
[Chorus:]
(Desiree), I can't hold you any longer
(Desiree), You love his money more than me
Now the taxi's at the gate
I guess all that's left to say
Is in teardrops at the bottom of the page
"I love you Desiree"
It'd be easier to leave if I were mad
But it's hard to lose the best you'll ever have
And to write this note to you
Was the hardest thing to do
But not as hard as bein' a poor boy
Who can't afford a girl like you
[Repeat Chorus Twice]
God, I love you, Desiree
I just can't take it anymore
(I won't be around for your goodbye)
(I won't be around for your goodbye)
Love his money more than me
(I won't be around for your goodbye)
Love his money more than me
(I won't be around for your goodbye)
Oh, you love his money and you love it more than me
(I won't be around for your goodbye)
Yeah, I was just a fool who couldn't see
(I won't be around for your goodbye)
Yeah, you love his money and you love it more than me
I've wadded it up and tossed it a thousand times
We both know the reason
There ain't nothin' to explain
But I know that my leavin'
Will spare us both the pain
[Chorus:]
(Desiree), I can't hold you any longer
(Desiree), You love his money more than me
Now the taxi's at the gate
I guess all that's left to say
Is in teardrops at the bottom of the page
"I love you Desiree"
It'd be easier to leave if I were mad
But it's hard to lose the best you'll ever have

Was the hardest thing to do

[Repeat Chorus Twice]
God, I love you, Desiree
I just can't take it anymore
(I won't be around for your goodbye)
(I won't be around for your goodbye)
Love his money more than me
(I won't be around for your goodbye)
Love his money more than me
(I won't be around for your goodbye)
Oh, you love his money and you love it more than me
(I won't be around for your goodbye)
Yeah, I was just a fool who couldn't see
(I won't be around for your goodbye)
Yeah, you love his money and you love it more than me
She Rides Away lyrics - David Nail
Sunset on the chapel, when I close my eyes I see her and she's prayin'
Ripples in the holy water, kneelin' in the light that is fadin'
Askin' for forgiveness cause she knows that it is me that she is breakin'
Angel flyin' with my heart
She rides on the edge of no tomorrow in a rusty El Camino
She flies as wild as the wind on the border of Laredo
She rides away
Questions in the dark
She rides away
Angel flyin' with my heart
Mystery surrounds her, she's the moonlight in the daylight, ain't no answer
Blacktop on the sand while the desert just goes on and on forever
she told me when I met her she would leave like it was written in red letters
Angel flyin' with my heart
She rides on the edge of no tomorrow in a rusty El Camino
She flies as wild as the wind on the border of Laredo
She rides away
Questions in the dark
She rides away
Angel flyin' with my heart
Sunset on a chapel, when I close my eyes I see her and she's prayin'
Askin' for forgiveness cause she knows that it is me that she is breakin'
She rides on the edge of no tomorrow in a rusty El Camino
She flies as wild as the wind on the border of Laredo
She rides away
Questions in the dark
She rides away
Angel flyin' with my heart
Angel flyin' with my heart
Ripples in the holy water, kneelin' in the light that is fadin'
Askin' for forgiveness cause she knows that it is me that she is breakin'
Angel flyin' with my heart
She rides on the edge of no tomorrow in a rusty El Camino
She flies as wild as the wind on the border of Laredo
She rides away
Questions in the dark
She rides away
Angel flyin' with my heart
Mystery surrounds her, she's the moonlight in the daylight, ain't no answer
Blacktop on the sand while the desert just goes on and on forever
she told me when I met her she would leave like it was written in red letters
Angel flyin' with my heart
She rides on the edge of no tomorrow in a rusty El Camino
She flies as wild as the wind on the border of Laredo
She rides away
Questions in the dark
She rides away
Angel flyin' with my heart
Sunset on a chapel, when I close my eyes I see her and she's prayin'
Askin' for forgiveness cause she knows that it is me that she is breakin'
She rides on the edge of no tomorrow in a rusty El Camino
She flies as wild as the wind on the border of Laredo
She rides away
Questions in the dark
She rides away
Angel flyin' with my heart
Angel flyin' with my heart
Let It Rain lyrics - David Nail
It’s hard to find the perfect time to say something
You know, is gonna change everything
Living with the shame,
It ain’t nothing like the pain that I saw on her face
Now me and my pile of things
That she threw out the window,
Drowning next to me
No seven years of good cant hide the one night I forgot to wear that ring
So let it rain, let it pour, if she don’t love me anymore,
Just let it come down on me, let it come down on me,
Every word, let it hurt, even more than I deserve,
Let it come down on me, let it come down on me, let it rain
The last thing I remember was the unfamiliar taste of someone on my lips,
It’s too late to turn around,
When the shades start coming down,
The guilt you feel's the last thing on your mind
So let it rain, let it pour, if she don’t love me anymore,
Just let it come down on me, let it come down on me,
Every word, let it hurt, even more than I deserve,
Just let it come down on me, let it come down on me, let it rain
So let it rain, let it pour, if she don’t love me anymore,
Just let it come down on me, let it come down on me,
Every word, let it hurt, even more than I deserve, just let it come down on me,
Let it come down on me, let it rain,
Ooh let it rain, ooh let it rain, just let it rain, just let it rain, ooh let it rain
You know, is gonna change everything
Living with the shame,
It ain’t nothing like the pain that I saw on her face
Now me and my pile of things
That she threw out the window,
Drowning next to me
No seven years of good cant hide the one night I forgot to wear that ring
So let it rain, let it pour, if she don’t love me anymore,
Just let it come down on me, let it come down on me,
Every word, let it hurt, even more than I deserve,
Let it come down on me, let it come down on me, let it rain
The last thing I remember was the unfamiliar taste of someone on my lips,
It’s too late to turn around,
When the shades start coming down,
The guilt you feel's the last thing on your mind
So let it rain, let it pour, if she don’t love me anymore,
Just let it come down on me, let it come down on me,
Every word, let it hurt, even more than I deserve,
Just let it come down on me, let it come down on me, let it rain
So let it rain, let it pour, if she don’t love me anymore,
Just let it come down on me, let it come down on me,
Every word, let it hurt, even more than I deserve, just let it come down on me,
Let it come down on me, let it rain,
Ooh let it rain, ooh let it rain, just let it rain, just let it rain, ooh let it rain
I Thought You Knew lyrics - David Nail
I'll follow you like a bridge to the end of the world
I take you with me everywhere I go
But you ran from love like a bullet from a gun
Lead powder burned my heart deep as this desert sun
You never told me it was over
You never told me anything at all
Now I'm out on the road and I'm asking myself why
I never told you that my love was true
Well, I thought you knew
Yeah, I thought you knew
Heard it from the motel man, you were here two nights ago
That means I'm closing in on my last chance to let you know
That I'm sorry girl for the things I guess I didn't say
But I'll keep searching for you 'til my dying day
Now I'm out in the road and I'm asking myself why
I never told you that my love was true
Well, I thought you knew
I thought you knew I meant forever
Even though I never said the things I needed to
But I'm out on the road and asking myself why
I'm out on the road and asking myself why
I never told you that my love was true
But I thought you knew, yeah, I thought you knew
Girl, I thought you knew, yeah, I thought you knew
As the sunlight fades and the sky turns black from blue
I know one of those sets of taillights just might be you
I take you with me everywhere I go
But you ran from love like a bullet from a gun
Lead powder burned my heart deep as this desert sun
You never told me it was over
You never told me anything at all
Now I'm out on the road and I'm asking myself why
I never told you that my love was true
Well, I thought you knew
Yeah, I thought you knew
Heard it from the motel man, you were here two nights ago
That means I'm closing in on my last chance to let you know
That I'm sorry girl for the things I guess I didn't say
But I'll keep searching for you 'til my dying day
Now I'm out in the road and I'm asking myself why
I never told you that my love was true
Well, I thought you knew
I thought you knew I meant forever
Even though I never said the things I needed to
But I'm out on the road and asking myself why
I'm out on the road and asking myself why
I never told you that my love was true
But I thought you knew, yeah, I thought you knew
Girl, I thought you knew, yeah, I thought you knew
As the sunlight fades and the sky turns black from blue
I know one of those sets of taillights just might be you
Catch You While I Can lyrics - David Nail
When rooms are crowded eyes will wander
Never knowing what they'll find
I came in waiting on another
Now you're all that's on my mind
Beneath a chorus of conversation
What no one else can see
Is a gamble between two strangers
That's taken a hold of me
So, let go of your halo
Break free for a while
Tell me that you're ready
And into the night
Wrong or right
Before it slips right through our hands
Let me catch you while I can
My courage rises, I walk over
Your curled smile calms me down
Words come easy, I keep you laughing
I should stop but I don't know how
So, let go of your halo
Break free for a while
Tell me that you're ready
And into the night
Wrong or right
Before it slips right through our hands
Let me catch you while I can
When midnight turns into daylight, maybe we'll both move on
But who knows, maybe tomorrow, lonely will be long gone
Be long gone
Come on, let go of your halo
Break free for a while
Tell me that you're ready
And into the night
Wrong or right
Before it slips right through our hands
Let me catch you while I can
Let me catch you while I can
Never knowing what they'll find
I came in waiting on another
Now you're all that's on my mind
Beneath a chorus of conversation
What no one else can see
Is a gamble between two strangers
That's taken a hold of me
So, let go of your halo
Break free for a while
Tell me that you're ready
And into the night
Wrong or right
Before it slips right through our hands
Let me catch you while I can
My courage rises, I walk over
Your curled smile calms me down
Words come easy, I keep you laughing
I should stop but I don't know how
So, let go of your halo
Break free for a while
Tell me that you're ready
And into the night
Wrong or right
Before it slips right through our hands
Let me catch you while I can
When midnight turns into daylight, maybe we'll both move on
But who knows, maybe tomorrow, lonely will be long gone
Be long gone
Come on, let go of your halo
Break free for a while
Tell me that you're ready
And into the night
Wrong or right
Before it slips right through our hands
Let me catch you while I can
Let me catch you while I can
Half Mile Hill lyrics - David Nail
Half Mile Hill, eight years old
Standing on top with the world below
Me and my dad
Talking man to man
Suitcase packed, he was moving out
Said, It's no one's fault, but I had my doubts
And I have them still
Up on Half Mile Hill
[Chorus:]
You can see the ball fields
Watch the cars go 'round the courthouse
See the sun go down
Where the street lamps glow
On those checkerboard roads
Wishing I could fly like a cut-string kite
Tapping on the floor of heaven
Is anybody listening?
Half Mile Hill, seventeen
Tailing the summer, Angie and me
Kicking beer cans off the side
One last time
She was wildcat tough, I was scarecrow thin
We were thick as theives 'til the bitter end
Trying to make time stand still
Up on Half Mile Hill
[Repeat Chorus]
Hey all, you lovers and leavers
Stuck in-betweeners
Loners and stoners
Old drunks and dreamers
Rumbling and stumbling
Always looking for something
Past that no trespassing sign
You can see the ball fields
Watch the cars go 'round the courthouse
See the sun go down
Where the Street lamps glow
On those checkerboard roads
Wishing I could fly like a cut-string kite
Tapping on the floor of heaven
Tapping on the floor of heaven
Is anybody listening?
(Is anybody listening?)
Up on Half Mile Hill
Is anybody listening?
(Is anybody listening?)
Standing on top with the world below
Me and my dad
Talking man to man
Suitcase packed, he was moving out
Said, It's no one's fault, but I had my doubts
And I have them still
Up on Half Mile Hill
[Chorus:]
You can see the ball fields
Watch the cars go 'round the courthouse
See the sun go down
Where the street lamps glow
On those checkerboard roads
Wishing I could fly like a cut-string kite
Tapping on the floor of heaven
Is anybody listening?
Half Mile Hill, seventeen
Tailing the summer, Angie and me
Kicking beer cans off the side
One last time
She was wildcat tough, I was scarecrow thin
We were thick as theives 'til the bitter end
Trying to make time stand still
Up on Half Mile Hill
[Repeat Chorus]
Hey all, you lovers and leavers
Stuck in-betweeners

Tapping on the floor of heaven
Is anybody listening?
(Is anybody listening?)
Up on Half Mile Hill

That's How I'll Remember You lyrics - David Nail
Wakin' up in the sand, sunburn on your nose
You scream and squeezed my hand
When your east Kentucky toes hit the Atlantic
Summertime in Brooklyn, Mustard on your lip
I knew I loved you by the bottom of the fifth
I never planned it
A million perfect moments go rushin' through my brain
Our first trip to the ocean, your first time on a plane
When you look over your shoulder, baby, you can choose
To remember me however you want to
That's how I'll remember you
The dress that you were wearin', soakin' up the stains
I can still see your mascara, though I can't recall the pain
Of what came after
You were even beautiful tellin' me goodbye
Maybe my version of the truth is just a lie
What Does It Matter?
What Does It Matter?
A million perfect moments go rushin' through my brain
Every time I smell October you're standing in the rain
When you look over your shoulder, baby, you can choose
To Remember me however you want to
That's how I'll remember you
I've forgot the bitter, the winter's just a blur
I savor the sweet as if the summer's all we were
And ever will be, oh, and I still see
A million perfect moments go rushin' through my brain
Every time I touch the ocean, anytime I taste the rain
When you look over your shoulder, baby, you can choose
To remember me however you want to
That's how I'll remember you.
That's how I'll remember you
You scream and squeezed my hand
When your east Kentucky toes hit the Atlantic
Summertime in Brooklyn, Mustard on your lip
I knew I loved you by the bottom of the fifth
I never planned it
A million perfect moments go rushin' through my brain
Our first trip to the ocean, your first time on a plane
When you look over your shoulder, baby, you can choose
To remember me however you want to
That's how I'll remember you
The dress that you were wearin', soakin' up the stains
I can still see your mascara, though I can't recall the pain
Of what came after
You were even beautiful tellin' me goodbye
Maybe my version of the truth is just a lie
What Does It Matter?
What Does It Matter?
A million perfect moments go rushin' through my brain
Every time I smell October you're standing in the rain
When you look over your shoulder, baby, you can choose
To Remember me however you want to

Every time I touch the ocean, anytime I taste the rain
When you look over your shoulder, baby, you can choose
To remember me however you want to
That's how I'll remember you.
That's how I'll remember you
The Sound Of A Million Dreams lyrics - David Nail
[Verse 1]
Seger was singin' words I could believe in
And "Mainstreet" was my street that night
So I called up Samantha and asked her the chance of
us runnin' out neath the moon light
Well shes not with me now, she can always be found
When I rewind the radio dial
and like it was then I feel her on my skin
and I'm back there for a while
[Chorus]
So I labor for hours cuz' I know the power
Of a song when a song hits you right
Poured my soul into stories of life
Hopin' someone will hear one tonight.
Maybe my voice
will cut through the noise
And stir up an old memory
And out of these piano keys
Comes the sound
The sound of a million dreams
[Verse 2]
My 18th summer I was a cocky up and come'er
Crankin' up "Born To Run"
Turn left out the drive with the pistons open wide
And I came back a prodigal son
My spirit was broken, she threw the door open
I love you not I told you so
When I hear momma tried I still break down and cry
And pull to the side of the road
[Chorus x2]
Seger was singin' words I could believe in
And "Mainstreet" was my street that night
So I called up Samantha and asked her the chance of
us runnin' out neath the moon light
Well shes not with me now, she can always be found
When I rewind the radio dial
and like it was then I feel her on my skin
and I'm back there for a while

Catherine lyrics - David Nail (feat. Will Hoge)
The sun is shining but it's still cold
This January is bitter as I've ever known
You're always smiling, there's no reason to be
You're always chipper at least that's how it seems
[Chorus:]
Well, Catherine I can't give you anything
Much more than this couple hundred dollar ring
And promises ain't never been my strength
But you are all I'll ever need
You are all I'll ever need
Your hair's a mess, clothes don't match
You laugh and say, "Baby, ain't I quite the catch?"
But all those material things, they don't matter anymore
You're mine forever whether we're rich or we're poor
[Repeat chorus twice]
All I'll ever need, yeah
All I'll ever need, yeah
Yeah, you're all I'll ever need
Yeah, you're all I'll ever need, yeah
This January is bitter as I've ever known
You're always smiling, there's no reason to be
You're always chipper at least that's how it seems
[Chorus:]
Well, Catherine I can't give you anything
Much more than this couple hundred dollar ring
And promises ain't never been my strength
But you are all I'll ever need
You are all I'll ever need
Your hair's a mess, clothes don't match
You laugh and say, "Baby, ain't I quite the catch?"
But all those material things, they don't matter anymore
You're mine forever whether we're rich or we're poor
[Repeat chorus twice]
All I'll ever need, yeah
All I'll ever need, yeah
Yeah, you're all I'll ever need
Yeah, you're all I'll ever need, yeah
Mississippi lyrics - David Nail
I ain’t never seen the snowfall on the Delta
Like the one that’s gonna cover all of New York tonight
But it sure do remind me of those miles and miles of cotton
Long ago but not forgotten, yeah, that’s a southern man’s field of white
Yeah, I turned my back and walked away
But lately I ain’t seen a sunny day
Been thinking ‘bout rolling on back home
Back where I belong
So won’t you put me on that riverboat Queen
Let the side wheels spin
‘Cause I ain’t seen that muddy water town in I cant remember when
All these years they played a trick on me
No, I ain’t the man I used to be
Tonight I feel like Mississippi
People round here, Lord they move in such a pace
I’m just another face, lost in the crowd
There’s a sweet sound being sung down in Dixie
Now and again it gets me when I get to feeling down
Yeah, I turned my back and walked away
But lately I ain’t seen a sunny day
Been thinking ‘bout rolling on back home
Back where I belong
So won’t you put me on that riverboat Queen
Let the side wheels spin
‘Cause I ain’t seen that muddy water town in I cant remember when
All these years they played a trick on me
No, I ain’t the man I used to be
Tonight I feel like Mississippi
All these years they played a trick on me
No, I ain’t the man I used to be
Tonight I feel like Mississippi
Tonight I feel like Mississippi
Like the one that’s gonna cover all of New York tonight
But it sure do remind me of those miles and miles of cotton
Long ago but not forgotten, yeah, that’s a southern man’s field of white
Yeah, I turned my back and walked away
But lately I ain’t seen a sunny day
Been thinking ‘bout rolling on back home
Back where I belong
So won’t you put me on that riverboat Queen
Let the side wheels spin
‘Cause I ain’t seen that muddy water town in I cant remember when
All these years they played a trick on me
No, I ain’t the man I used to be
Tonight I feel like Mississippi
People round here, Lord they move in such a pace
I’m just another face, lost in the crowd
There’s a sweet sound being sung down in Dixie
Now and again it gets me when I get to feeling down

‘Cause I ain’t seen that muddy water town in I cant remember when
All these years they played a trick on me
No, I ain’t the man I used to be
Tonight I feel like Mississippi
All these years they played a trick on me
No, I ain’t the man I used to be
Tonight I feel like Mississippi
Tonight I feel like Mississippi
I'm About To Come Alive lyrics - David Nail
I can hear you downstairs crying on the phone
Telling someone that I'm here but you still feel all alone
Maybe we were too young
Goodbye, I've gotta go
I can hear the baby waking up
Got to get back to the life I know
I should have never believed him
Maybe I should just leave here
Maybe I'm not but you're all I got left to believe in
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive
And I know that it's been hard
And it's been a long time coming
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive
No one thought I was good enough for you
Except for you
Don't let them be right
After all that we've been through
'Cause somewhere over that rainbow
There's a place for me
A place with you
Maybe I'm not but you're all I got left to believe in
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive
I know that it's been hard
And it's been a long time coming
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive
In every frame upon our wall
Lies a face that's seen it all
Through ups and downs and then more downs
We helped each other off of the ground
No one knows what we've been through
Making it ain't making it without you
Maybe I'm not but you're all I got left to believe in
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive
I know that it's been hard
And it's been a long time coming
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive
I'm about to come alive
(I'm about to come alive)
Telling someone that I'm here but you still feel all alone
Maybe we were too young
Goodbye, I've gotta go
I can hear the baby waking up
Got to get back to the life I know
I should have never believed him
Maybe I should just leave here
Maybe I'm not but you're all I got left to believe in
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive
And I know that it's been hard
And it's been a long time coming
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive
No one thought I was good enough for you
Except for you
Don't let them be right
After all that we've been through
'Cause somewhere over that rainbow
There's a place for me
A place with you
Maybe I'm not but you're all I got left to believe in
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive
I know that it's been hard
And it's been a long time coming
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive
In every frame upon our wall
Lies a face that's seen it all
Through ups and downs and then more downs
We helped each other off of the ground
No one knows what we've been through
Making it ain't making it without you
Maybe I'm not but you're all I got left to believe in
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive
I know that it's been hard
And it's been a long time coming
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive
I'm about to come alive
(I'm about to come alive)
Red Light lyrics - David Nail
So this is how it ends
This is where it all goes down
This is what "I don't love you" feels like
It ain't the middle of the night
And it ain't even raining outside
It ain't exactly what I had in mind
For goodbye
At a red light in the sunshine
On a Sunday
Nothin' to say
Don't even try
Some are comin' home
Some are leavin' town
While my world's crashin' down
On a Sunday
In the sunshine
At a red light
I thought she was gonna say
Somethin' about that couple kissin'
Crossin' the street
Or somethin' about this beautiful day
But she just looked me in the eye
Said it's over
Didn't try to lie
Or pick a fight
I might have seen it comin' thata way
But at a red light in the sunshine
On a Sunday
Nothin' to say
Don't even try
Some are comin' home
Some are leavin' town
While my world's crashin' down
On a Sunday
In the sunshine
At a red light
There's a momma calmin' down a little baby
In the backseat in front of me
There's an old man dressed in his Sunday best
Just waitin' on green
But I can't see, gettin' past
This red light
In the sunshine
On a Sunday
Nothin' to say
Don't even try
Some are comin' home
Some are leavin' town
While my world's crashin' down
On a Sunday in the sunshine
(at a red light)
At a red light in the sunshine
On a Sunday
Nothin' to say
Don't even try
Some are comin' home
Some are leavin' town
While my world's crashin' down
On a Sunday
In the sunshine
At a red light [x4]
This is where it all goes down
This is what "I don't love you" feels like
It ain't the middle of the night
And it ain't even raining outside
It ain't exactly what I had in mind
For goodbye
At a red light in the sunshine
On a Sunday
Nothin' to say
Don't even try
Some are comin' home
Some are leavin' town
While my world's crashin' down
On a Sunday
In the sunshine
At a red light
I thought she was gonna say
Somethin' about that couple kissin'
Crossin' the street
Or somethin' about this beautiful day
But she just looked me in the eye
Said it's over
Didn't try to lie
Or pick a fight
I might have seen it comin' thata way
But at a red light in the sunshine
On a Sunday
Nothin' to say
Don't even try
Some are comin' home
Some are leavin' town
While my world's crashin' down
On a Sunday
In the sunshine
At a red light
There's a momma calmin' down a little baby
In the backseat in front of me
There's an old man dressed in his Sunday best
Just waitin' on green
But I can't see, gettin' past
This red light
In the sunshine
On a Sunday
Nothin' to say
Don't even try
Some are comin' home
Some are leavin' town
While my world's crashin' down
On a Sunday in the sunshine
(at a red light)
At a red light in the sunshine
On a Sunday
Nothin' to say
Don't even try
Some are comin' home
Some are leavin' town
While my world's crashin' down
On a Sunday
In the sunshine
At a red light [x4]
Again lyrics - David Nail
She said, "California," as a tear fell down her cheek
"Small town Missouri just ain't the life for me."
Waved goodbye to mom and dad, and all her friends
In that '97 Mustang, that we both lost it in
I can't recall the day I'd finally had enough
Chasing my father's dream and never of growing up
I turned in that uniform before I ever played a game
With a junior college scholarship in a white trash town upstate
You never know which way the road is gonna go when it bends
And all I know is what I'd give today to feel that way again, yeah
I made the most of no degree here selling cars
On the Westside of St. Louis where most the rich folks are
From time to time I hear about some star you met
And just how close you've come but haven't made it yet
It gets me thinking 'bout the way it was and all we could've been
Wondering if you ever wish you could feel that way again, oh, and feel that way again
You never know which way the road is gonna go when it bends
And all I know is what I'd give today to feel that way again
I cannot lie sometimes when I come back to town
I head out to the river and roll the windows down
Listen to that Mississippi running through the night
Let it wash away the years and bring you back here by my side
Let it wash away the years and bring you back here by my side
Again, feel that way again
I wanna feel that way, I wanna feel that way again
I wanna feel that way, I wanna feel that way again
"Small town Missouri just ain't the life for me."
Waved goodbye to mom and dad, and all her friends
In that '97 Mustang, that we both lost it in
I can't recall the day I'd finally had enough
Chasing my father's dream and never of growing up
I turned in that uniform before I ever played a game
With a junior college scholarship in a white trash town upstate
You never know which way the road is gonna go when it bends
And all I know is what I'd give today to feel that way again, yeah

You never know which way the road is gonna go when it bends
And all I know is what I'd give today to feel that way again
I cannot lie sometimes when I come back to town
I head out to the river and roll the windows down
Listen to that Mississippi running through the night
Let it wash away the years and bring you back here by my side
Let it wash away the years and bring you back here by my side
Again, feel that way again
I wanna feel that way, I wanna feel that way again
I wanna feel that way, I wanna feel that way again
Clouds lyrics - David Nail
Well, the turn signal's clicking
And the seconds are slipping away
Just a little bit more of this turnpike
And so much to say
The airport traffic, it slows us to a still
I turn the radio down
And leave one hand on the wheel
Well I don't know what to tell you
What do you wanna hear
You see, guys like me, we just disappear
You deserve someone who will never leave
But, girl, the last few days are the best we'll ever be
Isn't every goodbye a chance to become
A bittersweet memory for someone
Don't you ever look back with regret
Share with me a moment for all time
In a corner of your mind
If you've never seen New England in the fall
Should you find yourself up there, give me a call
But before I make my way into the crowd
Could I share one last kiss while we're still in the clouds
Isn't every goodbye a chance to become
A bittersweet memory for someone
Don't you ever look back with regret
Share with me a moment for all time
In a corner of your mind
Isn't every goodbye a chance to become
A bittersweet memory for someone
Don't you ever look back with regret
Share with me a moment for all time
In a corner of your mind
In a corner of your mind
And the seconds are slipping away
Just a little bit more of this turnpike
And so much to say
The airport traffic, it slows us to a still
I turn the radio down
And leave one hand on the wheel
Well I don't know what to tell you
What do you wanna hear
You see, guys like me, we just disappear
You deserve someone who will never leave
But, girl, the last few days are the best we'll ever be
Isn't every goodbye a chance to become
A bittersweet memory for someone
Don't you ever look back with regret
Share with me a moment for all time
In a corner of your mind
If you've never seen New England in the fall
Should you find yourself up there, give me a call
But before I make my way into the crowd
Could I share one last kiss while we're still in the clouds
Isn't every goodbye a chance to become
A bittersweet memory for someone
Don't you ever look back with regret
Share with me a moment for all time
In a corner of your mind
Isn't every goodbye a chance to become
A bittersweet memory for someone
Don't you ever look back with regret
Share with me a moment for all time
In a corner of your mind
In a corner of your mind
Summer Job Days lyrics - David Nail
I was the only one down at Keeva Dun
who didn’t drive a car that wasn’t cool enough
just a baby blue parking lot Grand Am
not exactly a magnet for the women
until i hung that surfboard out the back
for tips and caddies at the local court
the night i mixed both drinks down on the wharf
flirtin with the college girls getting my barefoot wet out in the world
fell in love 100 times
time was mine and life was easy
jsut liek those ocean breezes
coolin off the afternoon
wasn’t long underneath the moon
we had a beach fire and a pile of wet clothes
layin back watchin the skin glow
gotta smile when i think about those tan bod bikini tops
so hot
summer job days
the end of august came
and the crowds went home
beaches deserted and the girls were gone
yeah i waved goodbye to the time and place
and that two lane back to the interstate
i look back i still look back when...
time was mine and life was easy
jsut liek those ocean breezes
coolin off the afternoon
wasn’t long underneath the moon
we had a beach fire and a pile of wet clothes
layin back watchin the skin glow
gotta smile when i think about those tan bod bikini tops
so hot
summer job days [repeat twice]
who didn’t drive a car that wasn’t cool enough
just a baby blue parking lot Grand Am
not exactly a magnet for the women
until i hung that surfboard out the back
for tips and caddies at the local court
the night i mixed both drinks down on the wharf
flirtin with the college girls getting my barefoot wet out in the world
fell in love 100 times
time was mine and life was easy
jsut liek those ocean breezes
coolin off the afternoon
wasn’t long underneath the moon
we had a beach fire and a pile of wet clothes
layin back watchin the skin glow
gotta smile when i think about those tan bod bikini tops
so hot

and the crowds went home
beaches deserted and the girls were gone
yeah i waved goodbye to the time and place
and that two lane back to the interstate
i look back i still look back when...

Strangers On A Train lyrics - David Nail
Sometimes you see someone
When you've already got someone
Still you wonder what if they had come
Along a long time ago
You know that they're feeling it too
But there ain't nothin' you gonna do
Except for imagine who you might have been with them
They're not tryin' to make it last
Just enjoying each second as they pass
'Cause as these little brick houses are flying by
'Neath the flickering of the railcar lights
I let myself get lost in your eyes a while
Not another passenger in here can see
How in my mind you're holdin' me
While outside the cold makes snow out of the rain
But in here were just strangers on a train
Start to smile, I turn my head
It's kinda like a spider's web
I just can't seem to shake you off
So I look your way again
You're staring off trying to pretend
Like you haven't even noticed me at all
But don't feel guilty it don't mean much
The truth is the two of us ain't never gonna touch
'Cause as these little brick houses are flying by
'Neath the flickering of the railcar lights
I let myself get lost in your eyes a while
Not another passenger in here can see
How in my mind you're holdin' me
While outside the cold makes snow out of the rain
But in here were just strangers on a train
Brakes grind, I gotta go
Reach down pick up my coat
Afraid that you might stop me in the aisle
Watch my breath rising in the air
I can't do nothing but just stand there
As you press your hand against the windowpane
And I wave to my stranger on a train
My stranger on a train
When you've already got someone
Still you wonder what if they had come
Along a long time ago
You know that they're feeling it too
But there ain't nothin' you gonna do
Except for imagine who you might have been with them
They're not tryin' to make it last
Just enjoying each second as they pass
'Cause as these little brick houses are flying by
'Neath the flickering of the railcar lights
I let myself get lost in your eyes a while
Not another passenger in here can see
How in my mind you're holdin' me
While outside the cold makes snow out of the rain
But in here were just strangers on a train
Start to smile, I turn my head
It's kinda like a spider's web
I just can't seem to shake you off
So I look your way again
You're staring off trying to pretend
Like you haven't even noticed me at all
But don't feel guilty it don't mean much
The truth is the two of us ain't never gonna touch
'Cause as these little brick houses are flying by
'Neath the flickering of the railcar lights
I let myself get lost in your eyes a while
Not another passenger in here can see
How in my mind you're holdin' me
While outside the cold makes snow out of the rain
But in here were just strangers on a train
Brakes grind, I gotta go
Reach down pick up my coat
Afraid that you might stop me in the aisle
Watch my breath rising in the air
I can't do nothing but just stand there
As you press your hand against the windowpane
And I wave to my stranger on a train
My stranger on a train
Looking For A Good Time lyrics - David Nail
If heavens where your soul gets fed
The your hell is an empty bed
But it’s never hard to keep it full
There ain’t too many arms you have to pull
‘Cause you think that you’re getting love
But they know they’re just getting some
And deep inside you know it’s true
But you don’t date believe it, do you?
Do you?
You just lay it down like a quarter on the railroad track
If it sticks to the wheel you’re never gonna get it back
It won’t do you no good to change your mind
‘Cause it already feel off somewhere down the line
Now all the boys call you when they’re looking for a good time
Looking for a good time
These days they call it casual
Well, that just means they’ll leave when they get full
Yeah, they say you’re cool ‘cause you don’t care
But in the morning you always cry if they’re not there
And you think if they could only see you now
But I swear they’d do it anyhow
‘Cause they’ll say anything to play the part
But they don’t give a damn about your heart
Your heart
You just lay it down like a quarter on the railroad track
If it sticks to the wheel you’re never gonna get it back
It won’t do you no good to change your mind
‘Cause it already feel off somewhere down the line
Now all the boys call you when they’re looking for a good time
Looking for a good time
You say you never tell the boys how bad you need it
But every scream is your prayer
You say, “I love you” and you swear you didn’t mean it
‘Cause you both agree this would go nowhere
Someday I hope that you get tired
Of waking up with the thieves and liars
Maybe you’ll go searching for the truth
The kind that ain’t written on a phone booth, no, no
You just lay it down like a quarter on the railroad track
If it sticks to the wheel you’re never gonna get it back
It won’t do you no good to change your mind
‘Cause it already feel off somewhere down the line
Now all the boys call you when they’re looking for a good time
Looking for a good time
Yeah, just looking for a good time
The your hell is an empty bed
But it’s never hard to keep it full
There ain’t too many arms you have to pull
‘Cause you think that you’re getting love
But they know they’re just getting some
And deep inside you know it’s true
But you don’t date believe it, do you?
Do you?
You just lay it down like a quarter on the railroad track
If it sticks to the wheel you’re never gonna get it back
It won’t do you no good to change your mind
‘Cause it already feel off somewhere down the line
Now all the boys call you when they’re looking for a good time
Looking for a good time
These days they call it casual
Well, that just means they’ll leave when they get full
Yeah, they say you’re cool ‘cause you don’t care
But in the morning you always cry if they’re not there
And you think if they could only see you now
But I swear they’d do it anyhow
‘Cause they’ll say anything to play the part
But they don’t give a damn about your heart
Your heart
You just lay it down like a quarter on the railroad track
If it sticks to the wheel you’re never gonna get it back
It won’t do you no good to change your mind
‘Cause it already feel off somewhere down the line
Now all the boys call you when they’re looking for a good time
Looking for a good time

Yeah, just looking for a good time
This Time Around lyrics - David Nail
I know what you think, here we go again
The same waste of potential that I’ve always been
I’ve been given chances and I’ve burned some bridges up
Had a million excuses why I’d self-destruct
But this time around
I’m a little more ready now
I’m a little bit older, a little more figured out
This time around
I see what I want and I’ve had a taste
I’m aware of the sacrifice its gonna take
I ain’t afraid of failure ‘cause I ain’t supposed to win
It took a while to find it, but I’m back again
But this time around
I’m a little more ready now
I’m a little bit older, a little more figured out
This time around
Yeah, this time around
I’m a little more ready now
I’m a little bit older, a little more figured out
Yeah, this time around
I’m a little more ready now
I’m a little bit older, a little more figured out
This time around
Yeah, this time around
This time around
The same waste of potential that I’ve always been
I’ve been given chances and I’ve burned some bridges up
Had a million excuses why I’d self-destruct
But this time around
I’m a little more ready now
I’m a little bit older, a little more figured out
This time around
I see what I want and I’ve had a taste
I’m aware of the sacrifice its gonna take
I ain’t afraid of failure ‘cause I ain’t supposed to win
It took a while to find it, but I’m back again
But this time around
I’m a little more ready now
I’m a little bit older, a little more figured out
This time around
Yeah, this time around
I’m a little more ready now
I’m a little bit older, a little more figured out
Yeah, this time around
I’m a little more ready now
I’m a little bit older, a little more figured out
This time around
Yeah, this time around
This time around
Turning Home lyrics - David Nail
Usually take one last pass through town
Stop the car and touch the ground
Watch those streetlights swayin’ in the breeze
Decorated store fronts
Rusty old gas pumps
Try to fill my mind up
With somethin’ before I go
Picture postcard memories
You know they always make for good company
I don’t know no town
Like the old town
Even when the miles are many
I feel like I’m still around
Deep inside me
Like rings through an oak tree
Yeah, there something ‘bout a Sunday when I’m gone
That keeps me turning home
I’m standin’ here beneath these billboard lights
Takes me back to those autumn nights
Hometown bleachers packed real tight
As we marched down the field
My feet would swing from a dropped tailgate
Out on Airport Road real late
No one could walk a line too straight
We usually made it home alright
And glory days I cant re-live
Stories I’ll never forget
And I don’t know no friends
Like the old friends
I never seem to laugh now
Like I did with them
But deep inside me
A piece of history
Yeah, I hear their voices even though they’re gone
And it keeps me turning home
Never twice the same way does it start
And sure enough she stole my heart
On the old gym floor, spinnin’ round and round one night
And though we both tried hard to wait
We sure did love the taste
Of the sweet love being made and prayin’ I got it right
Graduation came and went
Along with all the time we spent
And I don’t know no love
Like the first love
When I think about the best times
She’s the one I think of
Deep inside me
All though the taste is bittersweet
I see her smilin’ even though she’s gone
And it keeps me turning home, yeah
And it keeps me turning home
Stop the car and touch the ground
Watch those streetlights swayin’ in the breeze
Decorated store fronts
Rusty old gas pumps
Try to fill my mind up
With somethin’ before I go
Picture postcard memories
You know they always make for good company
I don’t know no town
Like the old town
Even when the miles are many
I feel like I’m still around
Deep inside me
Like rings through an oak tree
Yeah, there something ‘bout a Sunday when I’m gone
That keeps me turning home
I’m standin’ here beneath these billboard lights
Takes me back to those autumn nights
Hometown bleachers packed real tight
As we marched down the field
My feet would swing from a dropped tailgate
Out on Airport Road real late
No one could walk a line too straight
We usually made it home alright
And glory days I cant re-live
Stories I’ll never forget
And I don’t know no friends
Like the old friends
I never seem to laugh now
Like I did with them
But deep inside me
A piece of history
Yeah, I hear their voices even though they’re gone
And it keeps me turning home
Never twice the same way does it start
And sure enough she stole my heart
On the old gym floor, spinnin’ round and round one night

I see her smilin’ even though she’s gone
And it keeps me turning home, yeah
And it keeps me turning home
Missouri lyrics - David Nail
November's almost over, gentle winter's on the way
Still I sit here on this balcony, smoke my brain away
Waiting on that phone to ring
Wondering which day that it will be
Oh Carrie, I pray one day you'll go back home
To the warmth of Southern Georgia where you belong
And leave all the pain you've felt from me here in Missouri
Oh, you were just a young girl and I swore I could change
Everyday that you forgive me, is just another one you'll waste
You came here in search of something true
Looks like, girl, your searching isn't through
Oh Carrie, I pray one day you'll go back home
To the warmth of Southern Georgia where you belong
And leave all the pain you've felt from me here in Missouri
It's hard to think that everything around her
To know that won't be happy ever after
Oh Carrie, I pray one day you'll go back home
To the warmth of Southern Georgia where you belong
Leave all the pain you've felt from me here in Missouri
Oh Carrie, I pray one day you'll go back home
To the warmth of Southern Georgia where you belong
And leave all the pain you've felt from me here in Missouri
Still I sit here on this balcony, smoke my brain away
Waiting on that phone to ring
Wondering which day that it will be
Oh Carrie, I pray one day you'll go back home
To the warmth of Southern Georgia where you belong
And leave all the pain you've felt from me here in Missouri
Oh, you were just a young girl and I swore I could change
Everyday that you forgive me, is just another one you'll waste
You came here in search of something true
Looks like, girl, your searching isn't through
Oh Carrie, I pray one day you'll go back home
To the warmth of Southern Georgia where you belong
And leave all the pain you've felt from me here in Missouri
It's hard to think that everything around her
To know that won't be happy ever after
Oh Carrie, I pray one day you'll go back home
To the warmth of Southern Georgia where you belong
Leave all the pain you've felt from me here in Missouri
Oh Carrie, I pray one day you'll go back home
To the warmth of Southern Georgia where you belong
And leave all the pain you've felt from me here in Missouri
