CAN FEEL SO FREE

AND

JUST LIKE ROSA PARKS

AND DR. KING

I TOO ONCE HAD A DREAM

THE ONLY THING THATS MISSING

IS YOU HERE UNDER THESE

CRIMSON SKIES WITH ME.

ALABAMA MAN

I'M GOING KEEP YOU

HERE UNDER THE CRIMSON STARS

I'M GOING TO BE YOUR 

ALABAMA MAN

ROLL TIDE ROLL UNDER THESE CRIMSON SKIES

I'M GONNA BE YOUR ALABAMA GUY.

GONNA REEL YOU IN LIKE THE

ON THE GULF OF MEXICO TIDE

GONNA BE YOUR ALABAMA GUY

HEYYYYY- 

TUS-CA-LOOSA

HEY HEY --

UNDER THESE CRIMSON SKIES

I'M GOING TO BE YOUR
ALABAMA GUY.

GOING TO REEL YOU IN
LIKE THE CRAWFISH
WITH THE GULF OF
MEX-I-CO
TIDE

MAYBE ONE DAY 

I'LL BE YOUR 

ALABAMA GUY 

 

 

 

CHORUS:

WHAT IFS? (c) 2017

IT WAS SCARY THINKIN' BOUT
THOSE "WHAT IFS?"
WHAT WAS I GOING TO DO?

NORTHERN LIGHTS (c) 2017 Unfinished

THERE'S LOTS OF THINGS I WISH I COULD SEE
THAT I'LL PROBABLY NEVER SEE IN MY LIFE.
BUT THE ONE THING I WANT THE MOST
IN THE WORLD
IS FOR YOU TO BE MY WIFE.
AND PRESENT YOU THAT
RING
UNDER THOSE NOR-THERN LIGHTS


I'd GIVE ANYTHING TO SCALE THE EIFFEL
TOWER
OR TO SEE THOSE
NORTHERN LIGHTS
I'D GIVE UP EVERYTING
I HAVE TO BE
BACK WITH YOU TONIGHT

ALABAMA MAN (uninished) (c) 2017

NOW I DONT EVEN HAVE
A DOLLAR
NOT EVEN
A SINGLE DIME
I'VE BEEN
DRINKIN' ALL DAY
THINKIN'
WHAT THE HEY
I THINK I'M GONNA
CROSS
OVER THAT
DOUBLE
YELLOW LINE

YEAH I THINK IT MIGHT BE ALL OVER
AND WE MIGHT BE ATR THE END OF THE LINE
NOW YOU MIGHT LOVE ME MORE
WHEN I'M SOBER
MAYBE I COULD BE
YOUR ALABAMA GUY

SO PRAY
FOR ME DARLIN
I HOPE YOU'RE DOING
FINE
BECAUSE WE'LL NEVER KNOW
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN
WITH ME
AS YOUR
ALABAMA

A HILLBILLY SATURDAY NIGHT (c) 2017

WHEN YOU CAN DANCE AWAY YOUR TROUBLES



AND GEORGE STRAIT ON THE JUKEBOX MAKES
EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT

ITS ALL RIGHT
DONTCHA KNOW ITS JUST ANOTHER
HILLBILLY SATURDAY NIGHT

YOU KNOW YOU'RE O UT IN THE COUNTRY
ON A HILLBILLY SATURDAY NIGHT

YOU TRY WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT
TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE WEEK

FOR THOSE THREE HOURS ON THE WEEKEND WHEN
YOU'RE NOT FLOATIN' UP A CREEK

WHEN YOU DONT HAVE TO HEAR YOUR PHONE
RING WITH YOUR BOSS ON THE LINE

UNTITLED (c) 2017 (possibly Just believe)

THEY'LL TRY TO TEAR YOU DOWN
RUN YOU RIGHT OUT OF THIS
LITTLE ONE HORSE TOWN
BUT YOU STICK TO YOUR GUNS
AND YOU STAND YOUR GROUND

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE UP
YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO GIVE IN
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE YOUR
DREAM RIGHT THROUGH
TILL THE VERY END
NO NEVER GIVBE UP YOUR DREAM
WHEN IT SEEMS THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN
WHEN YOU'VE GOT TO LET OFF

JUST WHEN IT SEEMS ALL HOPE IS LOST
LOOK TO THE STARS
AND BELIEVE IN HIM
AND
JUST BELIEVE

UNFINISHEd

TIME I
MET THE DIXIE CHICKS
WAY OUT IN THE BOONDOCKS
SOME MIGHT CALL IT THE
STICKS

NOW YOU MIGHT NOT BELIEVE
SOME OR NONE OF THIS
BUT TRUST ME SON I LIVE OUT
IN THE STICKS

DID I TELL YOU ABOUT THAT TIME I MET GARTH BROOKS
SITTIN' OIN THE LOCAL LIBRARY
READIN A STEPHEN KING BOOK

DID I TELL YOU ABOUT THE TIME I MET
JOHNNY CASH

THE STICKS (c) 2017

IT WAS
1963
AND LIKE MARTIN LUTHER

I TOO
HAD A DREAM
AND THATS WHEN YOU FELL IN LOVE
WITH ME


YOU WERE A COLORED GIRL
FROM SELMA ALABAMA
I WAS A WHITE COUNTRY HICK
BOY FROM THE HILLS
OF TENNESSEE
WE WENT TO SCHOOL UP
IN STATE COLLEGE
PENNSYLVANIA





NOW MY FATHER WAS A RACIST AND
YOUR DADDY DIDNT WANT YOU
TO BE WITH A WHIT EBOY
FROM THE STICKS
WE NEVER SAW EYE TO EYE
BUT THAT NEVER STOPPED
ME ONE BIT

I WROTE YOU ONE LETTER
EACH WEEK FOR AN ENTIRE
YEAR
I OFFERED TO BUY YOUR DADDY
A CASE OF HOME GROWN
ALABAMA BEER

EVERYTHINGS BIGGER IN TEXAS (c) 2017

MISSISSIPPI MEMORIES ( c) 2017

V1

I WAS A COUNTRY GIRL FROM BI-LO-XI
WENT TO SCHOOL
DOWN IN BATON ROUGE
I'd ROOT
ROOT
ROOT
FOR THOSE PURPLE TIGERS
AS A CHEERLEADER FOR
L.S.U.

I'D LAY OUT ON THE BEACH BY THE
GULF OF MEXICO
THOSE DAYS WE SPENT UP IN
NATCHEZ
THOSE NIGHTS
UNDER THE
SOUTHERN STARS
IN TUPELO

WE ARE RUNNIN REBELS TRYIN'
TO FIND OUR WAY
TO SOME REDNECK
RODEO
AND NOW THAT I'M LIVING
HERE IN NEW YORK CITY
EARNING SIX FIGURES
RAISING A FAMILY
AS I LOOK TO THE FUTURE
I THINK OF THE PAST
AND
THOSE
MISSISSIPPI
MEMORIES

------------------------------------




????
CHORUS:

THE SOUTHERN COMFORTS OF HOME
A PLACE WHERE YOU'RE NEVER A LONE
WHERE WE STILL SAY HOW Y'ALL DOIN
TO STRANGERS
AND SPEND LESS TIME ON OUR PHONES
