[Verse 1:] Get ups, Gimics, One hit wonders that don't stick. Pretty boys actin' tough, boy bands, give it up. And if it looks good on TV, it'll look good on a CD. Shape it up, trim it down. Who gives a damn about how it sounds? [Chorus:] I don't th...

There's a cabin in a valley, My grandpa built on your land. Your mountains are a canvas, For the makers hand. Tonight I'm fishing up a river, If only in my mind. No, I haven't seen her banks in such a long, long time. I carry you in my heart your memory come...

Two miles east of the Chickamauga Just over the hill and across the holla End of the path leading from the water There's a one-room, A-frame house Hot-pie, potbelly stove When she workin' the flame, it never get cold The only place on Earth I know It ge...

I gave a girl a ride in my wagon, she crawled in and took control. She was tired, and her mind was dragging. And I said get some sleep, we'll get on down that road. Like a picture, she was laying there, moonlight dancing off her hair. She woke up and took m...

It was a perfect day for the end of May, they say a record high I stared at that green water when out of the blue out of surprise She had her feet up on the cooler as she put our love on ice She grabbed a beer, said, "I'm out of here," and walked out of my lif...

This town, she is a temptress. A siren with gold eyes, she'll cut you with her kindness, She will lead you with her lies. She's been called a glistening devil. She's good at keeping score. If you make it she's your savior, if you don't she's a whore. The roads...
