My mountain is a mole hill
My throne's a busted chair
This crown has turned to rust
And it's all tangled in my hair
This high horse that I ride on
It's gonna buckle at the knee
Upon my castle made of sand
I cannot be the king of me
There's the man in white
His words are painted red
There's power in his blood
And only truth in what he said
There's the main in black
With a needle in his vein
Lying flat upon his back
This is the prayer that he once prayed
He said, my mountain is a mole hill
My throne's a busted chair
This crown has turned to rust
And it's all tangled in my hair
This high horse that I ride on
It's gonna buckle at the knee
On my castle made of sand
I cannot be the king of me
And this (?) in my heart
Is filled with pot metal and fool's gold
Once your statue turns to dirt
All that's left in the end is your soul
God save your soul
So he said, shout out of control
With all your heart and soul
Though this cold world may tear you apart
Let the whole world know
My mountain is a mole hill
My throne's a busted chair
This crown has turned to rust
And it's all tangled in my hair
This high horse that I ride on
It's gonna buckle at the knee
Upon my castle made of sand
I cannot be the king of me
[x2]
Lord, I am just a man
I cannot be the king of me

Wildfire
River's strong, you can't swim inside it
We could string some lights up the hill beside it
Tonight the moon's so bright you could drive with your headlight's out
Cause a little bit of summer's what the whole year's all about
Girl you look fine, fine fine, put your feet up next to mine
We can watch that water line get higher and higher
Say, say, say ain't this been some kind of day
You and me been catchin' on like a wildfire
Don't get up just to get another you can drink from mine
We can't leave each other
We can dance with the dead, you can rest your head on my shoulder,
If you wanna get older with me
Cause a little bit of summer makes a lot of history
Girl you look fine, fine fine, put your feet up next to mine
We can watch that water line get higher and higher
Say, say, say ain't this been some kind of day
You and me been catchin' on like a wildfire
Girl you look fine, fine fine, put your feet up next to mine
We can watch that water line get higher and higher
Say, say, say ain't this been some kind of day
You and me been catchin' on like a wildfire
Girl you look fine, fine fine, put your feet up next to mine
We can watch that water line get higher and higher
Say, say, say ain't this a blessed kind of day
You and me been catchin' on like a wildfire
Ba-da-ba-da-da, Ba-da-ba-da-da, Ba-da-ba-da-da

Freight Train
I'm gonna give em that 2, 4, 4 on the floor, like an outlaws boys on the day
Before. got the pretty girls out there begging for more,
Gotta give em all what
They came here for. Doin' my thing singing my song,
Right on track I'm chugging
Along. I'm here and gone like yesterday,
Rolling like an old freight train. On a
Wing and a prayer and a glorified greyhound bus,
Flying down the road running
9-0 and kicking up dust. Drinkin' truck stop coffee
Countin' birds on those
Telephone wires. Burnin' the midnight oil
And the tread off these old goodyear
Tires. I'm gonna give em that 2, 4, 4 on the floor,
Like an outlaws boys on the day
Before. got the pretty girls out there begging for more,
Gotta give em all what they came here for.
Doin' my thing singing my song, right on track I'm chugging
Along. I'm here and gone like yesterday, rolling like an old freight train.
And sometimes my mind is a million miles away,
I know you're sound asleep at
Home while I'm on this stage. and I'm missing you
Wishing I was kissing you
Everyday. but girl I gotta keep rollin',
Rollin like an old freight train. and its a
Mighty lonesome sound when there's not soul around
To help you ease your pain,
But you gotta keep rollin'. Rollin' like an old freight train.
I'm gonna give em that
2, 4, 4 on the floor, like an outlaws boys on the day before.
Got the pretty
Girls out there begging for more,
Gotta give em all what they came here for.
Doin' my thing singing my song, right on track I'm chugging along.
I'm here and gone like yesterday, rolling like an old freight train,
Comin' on down the line
Feel that diesel engine whine, smell the smoke stack,
Hear the gears grind full steam ahead halfway out of my mind
I'm too far gone to be turning back
Going clickity clack down the railroad tracks.
I'm here and gone like yesterday
Rolling like an old freight train. just like an old freight train.
Tell me do you wanna ride this train.
Before. got the pretty girls out there begging for more,
Gotta give em all what
They came here for. Doin' my thing singing my song,

Along. I'm here and gone like yesterday,

Fence Post
Now this is a true story for the most part
That occurred on the top floor of this bigwig record executive's office in Nashville, Tennessee
Now understand I'm not poking any fun or disrespecting anybody
God knows I love country music with all my heart and soul
And I love the Grand Ole Opry
But I do have a problem with someone who can't even play a D chord on a guitar
Telling someone with a dream that they won't get far
So this song is dedicated to all those underdogs like me out there running around
Don't get discouraged if you have a dream
Don't be afraid to chase it down
It's how it goes
He said, "Son, don't get offended by what I'm about to say
I can see you have a passion
For the songs you write and play
But you lack what we all call commercial appeal
And you just don't have what it takes
To make it here in Nashville"
Ouch...
Well my heart felt like a train wreck
But I wore a smile on my face
I said, "Thank you for your time, sir"
Put my guitar back in its case
Our little conversation was like a revelation
Redirecting my dreams
'Cause God knows I'd never sell my soul to rock 'n' roll or rap
Or wear those tight skinny jeans
Cause you know I'd rather sing my own songs
Than be a puppet on a string
I'll wear what I want to wear
I'm gonna sing what I wanna sing
Heaven knows all I need
Is my faith, my fans, my friends and my family
Besides I'd rather be an old fence post in Texas
Than the king of Tennessee
So I loaded up my old pickup truck
And I drove back home to Amarillo
Got a gig off old route 66
At this ballroom called "The Armadillo"
And for the first thousand shows or so
Not a soul showed up
I thought about quitting every other day
But I just kept on kicking that cup
Yeah, I kept kicking that can surrounded by blood, sweat, and beers
And wouldn't you know I became an overnight sensation
In just over ten years
And now I'm packing out all the dance halls
And the rodeos every night
I got a pretty wife, a ranch, a band, a bus, a boat
I'd say I'm doing alright
And you know I'd rather sing my own songs
Than be a puppet on a string
I'll wear what I want to wear
I'm gonna sing what I wanna sing
Heaven knows all I need
Is my faith, my fans, my friends and my family
Besides I'd rather be an old fence post in Texas
Than the king of Tennessee
Oh, how 'bout a little front porch picking, boys
Well, wouldn't you know that old record man
Showed up one night at this honky tonking bar
After my show he said, "Son, I believe you might be the next big country star"
He said, "We like how you keep it raw
We like how you keeping it real
And I think you may just have what we all like to call commercial appeal"
Huh, ain't that something
Well, sir...
I'd rather sing my own songs
Than be a puppet on a string
I'll wear what I want to wear
And I'm gonna sing what I wanna sing
Heaven knows all I need
Is my faith, my fans, my friends and my family
Besides I'd rather be an old fence post in Texas
Than the king of Tennessee
God bless Tennessee
But I'd rather be just an old fence post in Texas
Than sell my soul to rock 'n' roll or rap
Or wear those tight fitting skinny jeans

That Look
She keeps it all together
I always come unwound
She's cool calm and collected
I wanna paint the town
She's like a Sunday morning
I'm a dancehall Saturday night
She's like a stain glass window
I'm a lonestar neon light
She has another side
That no one sees but me
She is the only one
That brings me to my knees
There's something about Sinatra
And a bottle of Chardonnay
Without a single word
She takes my breath away
When she gets that look in her eyes
When she gets that want you
Need to love you
Right now kind of look in her eyes
She's always lookin' so fine
That I can't believe mine
And when those stars align
Just add a little white wine
And moonlight and that girl's off the hook
When she's good she's good
But even better when she gets that look
She sparkles like a diamond
She twinkles like a star
She's like a ray of sunshine
That always melts my heart
And when I'm feeling empty
Her love makes me whole
Just like a country breeze
That soothes my weary soul
When she gets that look in her eyes
When she gets that want you
Need to love you
Right now that kind of look in her eyes
She's always lookin' so fine
That I can't believe mine
And when those stars align
Just add a little white wine
And moonlight and that girl's off the hook
When she's good she's good
But even better when she gets that
Slow dancin'
Romancin'
She's up to something
Wearin' nothin' but her beautiful smile
She's up to something
Wearin' nothin' but a beautiful smile
When she gets that look in her eyes
When she gets that want you
Need to love you
Right now that kind of look in her eyes
She's always lookin' so fine
That I can't believe mine
And when those stars align
Just add a little white wine

Bluebonnets (Julia's Song)
I'm gonna give em that 2, 4, 4 on the floor, like an outlaws boys on the day
Before. got the pretty girls out there begging for more,
Gotta give em all what
They came here for. Doin' my thing singing my song,
Right on track I'm chugging
Along. I'm here and gone like yesterday,
Rolling like an old freight train. On a
Wing and a prayer and a glorified greyhound bus,
Flying down the road running
9-0 and kicking up dust. Drinkin' truck stop coffee
Countin' birds on those
Telephone wires. Burnin' the midnight oil
And the tread off these old goodyear
Tires. I'm gonna give em that 2, 4, 4 on the floor,

Comin' on down the line
Feel that diesel engine whine, smell the smoke stack,
Hear the gears grind full steam ahead halfway out of my mind
I'm too far gone to be turning back
Going clickity clack down the railroad tracks.
I'm here and gone like yesterday
Rolling like an old freight train. just like an old freight train.
Tell me do you wanna ride this train.

Thats Why God Loves Cowboys
He wanted someone who loves the land as much as he does
Someone who knows the blessin' of a good hard rain
Somebody simple and strong that he knows he can count on
Soft as the wind, you're bold enough to bless his name
That's why God loves cowboys, I believe there's a place in his heart
Cause when the herd needs tenden, the fences needs menden
He knows they'll work hard, on his great big ranch called life
Cause they love and take care of all it's creations
From the horses they ride to those broken harded honky tonk angles
Oooooh
That's why God loves cowboys
He knew they need room and freedom
So he gave em' Texas and those big Montana skies
He was there when he heard those prayers coming from shying
Right beside that young man on his last ride
That's why God loves cowboys, I believe there's a place in his heart
Cause when the herd needs tenden and the fences needs menden
He knows they'll work hard, on his great big ranch called life
Cause they love and take care of all it's creations
From the horses they ride to those broken harded honky tonk angles
Ooooooh
That's why God loved cowboys
Ooh those cold nights get lonely
He needs more then just a good fire keeping him warm
Ooh there's nothing more holy
Than a love of a woman weather life storm
That's why God loves cowgirls, I believe there's a place in his heart
Cause when the herd needs tenden and the fences needs menden
He knows they'll work hard, on his great big ranch called life
Cause they love and take care of all it's creations
From the horses they ride to those broken harded honky tonk heros
Ooooooh
That's why God loves cowgirls
Ooooooh
That's why God loves cowboys
Someone who knows the blessin' of a good hard rain
Somebody simple and strong that he knows he can count on
Soft as the wind, you're bold enough to bless his name
That's why God loves cowboys, I believe there's a place in his heart
Cause when the herd needs tenden, the fences needs menden
He knows they'll work hard, on his great big ranch called life
Cause they love and take care of all it's creations
From the horses they ride to those broken harded honky tonk angles
Oooooh
That's why God loves cowboys
He knew they need room and freedom
So he gave em' Texas and those big Montana skies
He was there when he heard those prayers coming from shying
Right beside that young man on his last ride
That's why God loves cowboys, I believe there's a place in his heart
Cause when the herd needs tenden and the fences needs menden
He knows they'll work hard, on his great big ranch called life
Cause they love and take care of all it's creations
From the horses they ride to those broken harded honky tonk angles

Thats Gonna Leave A Mark
First kiss I thought I died and gone to heaven
In the parking lot of that old 7/11
I filled up a truck,
I went in to pay when I walked out
she was with him smilin' as she drove away
I know that's gonna leave a mark
Just like a tattoo on my heart
My little brunette wrecking ball with a sexy southern drawl,
It's gonna tear my world apart
And I know just like a moth drawn to a flame
I'll come runnin' when she whispers my name,
And like a tattoo on my heart I know that's gonna leave a mark.
If you play with fire you're bound to get burned
You would think by now that I would've learned
but she's lookin so hot, so what can I say
My mama said don't but I did it anywayyy
I know that's gonna leave a mark
Just like a tattoo on my heart
My little brunette wrecking ball with a sexy southern drawl,
It's gonna tear my world apart
And I know just like a moth drawn to a flame
I'll come runnin' when she whispers my name,
And like a tattoo on my heart I know that's gonna leave a mark.
Awwh tug on them hard strings now
I wish you didn't look so dang good
I wish you wouldn't smile at me that way if there's any
It's a lot shinnin' brighter than the sun
like a sock from above tellin' me to run awayyy
I know that's gonna leave a mark
Just like a tattoo on my heart
My little brunette wrecking ball with a sexy southern drawl,
It's gonna tear my world apart
And I know just like a moth drawn to a flame
I'll come runnin' when she whispers my name,
And like a tattoo on my heart I know that's gonna leave a mark.
And like a tattoo on my heart I know she's gonna leave a mark.
In the parking lot of that old 7/11
I filled up a truck,
I went in to pay when I walked out

The Underdog
don't you ever let this world push you around
use your head and keep your feet firmly on the ground
and if you get knocked down
get back up and try again
and don't you ever lose that sparkle in your eyes
don't bottle up your passion like a jar of fireflies
if you ever lose sight of your light
and you feel like givin' in
don't you forget your faith in God above
don't you forget your mom and daddy's love
when you fear, when you fail, when you feel you're gonna fall
follow your heart and always believe in the underdog
don't buy a thing unless you can pay in cash
go ahead and throw those credit cards in the trash
love is a virtue, honesty is the key
say your prayers, brush your teeth, don't you watch too much TV
if you're down in the count one strike away
choke up and crowd the plate and put the ball in play
keep your nose down when you win
keep your head up when you lose
and you're gonna lose
don't you forget your faith in God above
don't you forget your mom and daddy's love
when you fear, when you fail, when you feel you're gonna fall
follow your heart and always believe in the underdog
and there will come a day
when I will fly away
so make me smile while we're apart
you gotta sing from you soul and play with all of your heart
there's a good chance your heart will break in two
trust that God has someone special planned for you
did you know I was down on love and luck
when he sent your mom to me?
someday you'll have babies of your own
so cherish every moment, you're gonna blink and they'll be grown
the greatest honor that I've ever had
is having you call me your dad
boys don't forget your faith in God above
don't you forget your mom and daddy's love
when you fear, when you fail, when you feel you're gonna fall
follow your heart and always believe in the underdog
when you fear, when you fail, when you feel you're gonna fall
follow your heart and always believe in the underdog
use your head and keep your feet firmly on the ground
and if you get knocked down
get back up and try again
and don't you ever lose that sparkle in your eyes
don't bottle up your passion like a jar of fireflies
if you ever lose sight of your light

Blame It On Those Baby Blues
Now there you go givin' that eye,
with your hand on my thigh,
you got me swervin' all over the place.
You got me wantin' and needin'
you're the reason for my speedin'
and you know you can't blame it on the breaks.
Blame it on those baby blues
for lookin' like you do
blame it on your slow dancin', county road romancin'
blame it on the moonlight shinin' bright
tailgate kind of summer night
blame it on you for lovin' me so true
girl you can blame it on your smile, your whisper, and your touch
blame it on your lips for kissin' me so much
blame it on those baby blues
but you can't blame me for lovin' you.
Yeah when the sun goes down on the sleepy little town
you turn my world into a country love song.
Take a good long look in the mirror
Naw, it couldn't be any clearer
and you'll see what turns my radio on
Blame it on those baby blues
for lookin' like you do
blame it on your slow dancin', county road romancin'
blame it on the moonlight shinin' bright
tailgate kind of summer night
blame it on you for lovin' me so true
girl you can blame it on your smile, your whisper, and your touch
blame it on your lips for kissin' me so much
blame it on those baby blues
but you can't blame me for lovin'
The way you love me
can't get enough of me
rain or shine, all the time, with all your heart and soul.
I'll be lookin' in your eyes
by the time the sunrise comes
shinin' through your bedroom window.
You can blame it on those baby blues
for lookin' like you do
blame it on your slow dancin', county road romancin'
blame it on the moonlight shinin' bright
tailgate kind of summer night
blame it on you for lovin' me so true
girl you can blame it on your smile, your whisper, and your touch
blame it on your lips for kissin' me so much
blame it on those baby blues
but you can't blame me for lovin' you.
No, no matter what you do,

You can blame it on those baby blues
for lookin like you do
with your hand on my thigh,
you got me swervin' all over the place.

One Of Your Nights
I've had one of those days
Good for nothing kind of days
I've had hard luck, bad luck and no luck at all
Girl I need you to be my soft place to fall
So lay your pretty head on my side of the bed
I turn it on and on
When I turn off those bedroom lights
say you want me to stay
Kiss my worries away
Far away
I've had one of those days
Before nothing kind of days
Baby I need one of your nights
I want to hold you tight
fine wine and candle lights
I've had red lights, bar fights
bright lights blinding me
Girl I need your touch to set me free
So lay your pretty head on my side of the bed
I turn it on and on
When I turn off those bedroom lights
say you want me to stay
Kiss my worries away
Far away
I've had one of those days
Before nothing kind of days
Baby I need one of your nights
Girl we got that kind of romance
One that will dance without even touching the ground
Remember that night on your street
I said I'd sweep you of your feet
Well forever is forever
And I'll never gonna let you down
Never ever gonna let you down
So lay your pretty head on my side of the bed
I turn it on and on
When I turn off those bedroom lights
say you want me to stay
Kiss my worries away
Far away
I've had one of those days
Before nothing kind of days
Baby I need one of your nights
one of your nights
I've had one of those days
good for nothing kind of days
Good for nothing kind of days
I've had hard luck, bad luck and no luck at all
Girl I need you to be my soft place to fall
So lay your pretty head on my side of the bed
I turn it on and on
When I turn off those bedroom lights

Kiss my worries away
Far away

Before nothing kind of days

Family Tree
Sunday afternoon church potluck
George Jones blaring from my grandpa's truck
Granny's fried chicken and her sweet tea
Now that's a bittersweet memory
The old tire swing where my little boys play
Well, that was me only yesterday
Doing double back flips off the branch in the tank
Kissing on you and fishing from the bank
We've had some good times, got through the bad times
The sound of laughter always covers up the sad times
Strong as an oak, solid as a hickory
That's a love made in the shade of our family tree
Passed down from my granny and my grandpa
Mom and daddy kept it safe, kept it sturdy and tall
Summers were hot, winters were long
But our roots were deep and our faith was strong
Now some are gone, and some are all grown
You and me, baby, branched out on our own
With every sunset comes another sunrise
I can see my daddy in our little boys' eyes
We've had some good times, got through the bad times
The sound of laughter always covers up the sad times
Strong as an oak, solid as a hickory
That's a love made in the shade of our family tree
Lost love once throughout the years
Remember their smiles and dry those tears
'Cause they'll live on in your heart and mine
So let love grow like a country vine
We've had some good times, got through the bad times
The sound of laughter always covers up the sad times
Strong as an oak, solid as a hickory
That's a love made in the shade of our family tree
Made in the shade of our family tree
Sunday afternoon church potluck
George Jones blaring from my grandpa's truck
A family that prays together
Is a family that stays together
Love the Lord thy God and Savior
With all your heart and love thy neighbor

Rodeo Queen
We pull into town, try to find the fairgrounds
Park this Cadillac out back, behind the loading chutes
Finally made the big show, traveling with the rodeo
I'm one of the boys that make sure nobody pays with their
Life ain't easy for a joker like me
I've got a smile painted on my face
It's only make believe
She's got me where she wants me
Got me blinking when they cover the gate
I'm afraid someone's gonna get hurt
'Cause I'm not thinking straight
I'm in love with the rodeo queen
A clown in love with the rodeo queen
Every night the crowd goes wild when they see her riding
Shining like a diamond, she don't even know my name
I try to turn my feelings off before they load the roughstock
Gotta get my stuff together, take a shot and forget
How much time stands still when the bull starts spinning
When the bull starts spinning
When the bull starts spinning
She's got me where she wants me
Got me blinking when they cover the gate
(I'm) Afraid someone's gonna get hurt
'Cause I'm not thinking straight
I'm in love with the rodeo queen
A clown in love with the rodeo queen
And baby bye, I'll tell you right
I might work up the nerve to tell 'er right
I ain't just some fool in a barrel no
There's a real heart beating underneath my
Over-sized wranglers, yellow suspenders
I might look like it but I ain't a pretender
No no
I gotta tell 'er, gotta tell 'er
Gotta tell 'er that
(She's) Got me where she wants me
Got me blinking when they cover the gate
(I'm) afraid someone's gonna get hurt
'Cause I'm not thinking straight
(She's) Got me where she wants me
Got me blinking when they cover the gate
