OLD SOUTHERN SOUL
Just sipping on Apple whiskey tripping on memories deep inside.
Bittersweet redemption from another place and time.
Shooting two for one on Wednesday and by Thursday I’ll be fine.
Good for the soul, good for the peace of mind.
One for my soul, one more for peace of mind
I got laid back, homegrown, California style With a restless, yearning, burning desire
To be moving on before I’m long gone
and I can hear the bayou calling me
Can taste that wild honey in the breeze
CHORUS
Guess I’m an old Southern Soul
Cause I feel it’s time to roll
Gotta let those back roads take me home Have a little mercy on my old Southern soul. Have a little mercy
I’ve been known to tie one on with outlaws on the run
But you can’t tame a rebel heart that’s only out for fun.
Just blame my old friend, Number 7, for fueling up my spite
It’s Mr. Beam that takes me home tonight .
On a rolling southbound to the wild side
CHORUS
Guess I’m an old Southern Soul
Cause I feel it’s time to roll
Gotta let those back roads take me home Have a little mercy on my old Southern soul. Have a little mercy
Whoa feel that thunder roll
Mountain moonlight shines like gold Where that firewater flows
I was resting peacefully, underneath the shade.
Buried with my Rock & Rye and loaded 38 Could have been Bonnie, could have been Clyde
Could have been wanted more dead than alive
And I’m coming back to raise some hell tonight
Gonna get a little crazy up that Bourbon Trail tonight
CHORUS
Yes, I’m an old Southern soul
And I feel it’s time to roll
Gotta let those back roads take me home Have a little mercy on my old Southern soul
Gotta let those back roads take control Have a little mercy on my old southern soul Have a little mercy

HOME SWEET HOME
It’s been a long day, gonna get my groove on It’s Friday night and I just got back in town
Gonna be hanging out with all my people And if the morning shouldn’t come I won’t worry now I won’t worry now
I’m taking this party to go
Just in case I’m needing some of that Home Sweet Home
CHORUS
Everybody have a good time
Feed your hungry soul something bad to the bone
And shake it like it was your last night Everybody have a good time
Feed your hungry soul something wild off the bone
To savor on, in case I’m craving some Home Sweet Home
Whoa some of that Home Sweet Home
I like the sunshine on Sunday afternoon Along with the music that moves me inside out
So grab some old shoes, gonna drink some cold brews
Sling a shot or two, gonna light this place up.. gonna light this place up
I’m taking this party to go
Just in case I’m needing some of that Home Sweet Home
CHORUS
Everybody have a good time
Feed your hungry soul something bad to the bone
And shake it like it was your last night Everybody have a good time
Feed your hungry soul something wild off the bone
To savor on, in case I’m craving some Home Sweet Home
Whoa some of that Home Sweet Home
Gonna take this party to go wherever I roam just in case I’m needing some Home Sweet Home
Everybody have a good time.
Everybody have a good time
And party like it was your last night. Everybody have a good time
Feed your hungry soul something bad to the bone and shake it till you just can’t shake it no more.
Until you just can’t take it no more
To savor on, in case I’m craving some Home Sweet Home.

Country Girl

COUNTRY GIRL
I was born on a Southbound Greyhound bus
Didn’t need much money, lovin’ was plenty for us
Got my Mama’s drawl, my Daddy’s rebel yell, I’m half Outlaw half Southern Belle
Just a country girl at heart if you can’t tell
That Southern charm and comforts calling me back
And I like to get un-ladylike on Jack
Steal the night away in Charlotte
You be Rhett and I’ll be Scarlett
A Southern girl knows how to get the party started
CHORUS
Take me down I’m Smokey Mountain bound
Take me down that ol’ Blue Ridge Road Where the willow know me well
In the hollow raising hell
Just a country girl at heart if you can’t tell
Where bless her little ol’ heart ain’t what it seems
And a bathtub full of gin will keep you squeaky clean
We bleed firewater where I come from That triple proof homemade rum
I’m a backwoods daughter and I roll with a shotgun
CHORUS
Take me down I’m Smokey Mountain bound
Take me down that ol’ Blue Ridge Road Where the willow know me well
In the hollow raising hell
Just a country girl at heart if you can’t tell
That Southern freight train she’s singing my song
The one that’s going, come on girl get on back home
Bout sweet as Sugar Maple and homemade brew
But stings ya like a bee on that Mountain Dew
I like good ol’ boys, pick-up trucks
Bare-footing, home-cooking, down-home love
Just some of things country girls are made of
CHORUS
Take me down I’m Smokey Mountain bound
Take me down that ol’ Blue Ridge Road
Where the willow weep for me and kin folks all you need
Just a country girl at heart if you can’t see Where the willow know me well in the hollow raising hell
Just a country girl at heart if you can’t tell

I Stayed

I STAYED
I’ve been down a lonely troubled road
So unfamiliar, one I’ve never known
I’ve been beat, but not like this before
You say it’s unintentional, then don’t do it anymore
Not one more time or one more sleepless night Will I be all alone?
A Young and widowed wife.
And will I survive another runaway ride They’ll have to tie me down,
I’ll be losing my mind.
CHORUS
I can’t take it, no, not one more day
If I only knew what you’d put me through I would have ran away
And I would have let go
Baby I should have let go,
But I Stayed.
I’ve been dealt a fully loaded hand
So unpredictable, thought we had it all
And now I’m questioning all of that
Baby I see right through how you played me your fool
But I’m burning out on learning all about this side of you.
CHORUS
I can’t take it, no, not one more day
If I only knew what you’d put me through I would have ran away
And I would have let go
Baby I should have let go,
But I Stayed.
If I stay till the end of time
Till the stars stop their twinkling and that sun, that sun just won’t shine
If I stay then I pray, I’m down on my knees Lord, please take this pain away.
....I’ll be losing my mind
CHORUS
I can’t take it, no, not one more day
If I only knew what you’d put me through I would have ran away
And I would have let go
Baby I should have let go,
But I Stayed.
Now what’s that say?
I would have let go, but I couldn’t let go And I stayed.

That Kind of Love

THAT KIND OF LOVE
A beautiful home
with a pool and a wishing well
A breathtaking view of my own private hell This beautiful dream that I couldn’t keep Became the nightmare that I couldn’t wait to leave
Why oh why didn’t I listen to Mama’s objections?
My oh my this is not what I was expecting Now I know why she couldn’t hold her peace
I’ve seen the things she didn’t want me to see
CHORUS
I don’t need that kind of love
I need a “let me be” kind of love
A “so I can breathe” kind of love
I need a “soul shaking free” kind of love
My memories are more bitter than sweet Like a tidal wave, you swept me off my feet But your heavy load has taken a toll on me Now I’m drowning in your sea of misery
Why oh why didn’t I listen to Mama cry? She said, I don’t know baby, something here ain’t right
Now I know why she couldn’t hold her peace
I’ve seen the things she seemed to know I’d see
CHORUS
I don’t need that kind of love
I need a “let me be” kind of love
A “so I can breathe” kind of love
I need a “soul shaking free” kind of love
All I need is not to need you
I need room to breathe and a room with a view
My troubled paradise, not quite the fairy-tale
Just a heartache that my heart knows all too well
And this life of luxury, an ill-fated fantasy This is not the way that loves supposed to be
Now I’m singing the blues I never knew I could sing
CHORUS
I don’t need that kind of love
I need a “let me be” kind of love
A “so I can breathe” kind of love
I need a “soul shaking free” kind of love
I mean a hot as can be kind of love
A burning third degree kind of love
I need a soul shaking free kind of love
A soul shaking free, a hot as can be, burning third degree, really-good for me,
A soul shaking free kind of love
