Tequila Mi AmorTequila Mi Amor I taste the fruit it soothes my soul
Tequila Mi AmorOh Tequila Mi Amor I’m in love with you
A senorita down in Mexico
Eyes of blue hair black as coal
Smile bright a heart of gold
Como se llama Tequila Amor
Tequila Mi Amor Tequila Mi Amor I taste the fruit it soothes my soul
Tequila Mi Amor Oh Tequila Mi Amor I’m in love with you
We danced all night ‘neath the moon and stars
Sun came up went back to the bar
It’s just a dream a distant mirage
Bottle’s empty and Tequila was gone
Tequila Mi Amor Tequila Mi Amor I taste the fruit it soothes my soul
Tequila Mi Amor Oh Tequila Mi Amor I’m in love with you

Tequila Mi Amor Oh Tequila Mi Amor I’m in love with you

Never Leave it alone
- In '63 he's just nine years old, he heard the Beatles on the radio, felt that burning desire. If I had my own guitar, I could be a rock n roll star, just like the Beatles on the radio. '66 he's a little league all star, '69 gigging honky-tonk bars, baseball, girls, rock n roll. Put down the guitar pick up a bat, come-on coach man that ain't where it's at, a different fire burns below.
- Emotions run deep when you feel that passion, burns like hell, nothing else matters, like a bullet to the bone. That's your heart and soul, never leave it alone.
- He's got stars in his eyes, now he realizes, it's a long hard road.
- All these years working the bars, still rockin' that old guitar, his dream lives on.
- Emotions run deep when you feel that passion, burns like hell, nothing else matters, like a bullet to the bone. Emotions run deep it's a die for a passion that burns like hell, nothing else matters, like a bullet to the bone, it's your heart and soul, never leave it alone. Never leave it alone. Never leave it alone

She's Knoxville Bound
Her mama told her, "girl you better settle down"
Folks like us never leave this town
Find a better job and go another day
Girl you still owe for that Chevrolet
Chorus
She's Knowville bound take it come what may
This tired old town will her death someday
Verse 2
Her minds made up she's really leaving this time
Flip a single finger at the city limit sign
80 miles per hour cross that Georgia line
Pedal to the metal, leave it all behind
But she never listens to mama anyway
Packed up her Camaro, now she's on her way
Chorus (repeat)
Bridge
she hugged and kissed her mama on the front porch swing
All of mama's tears didn't change a thing
She said I'll be back to visit someday
Now she's on her way
Chorus ( repeat)

Kewl to Kruel
- What happened to that girl, the girl I thought she was so cool. she came along and stole my heart, ripped it out, tore it apart.
- She's gone Kewl to Kruel, Kewl to Kruel.
- Said she had my back, I turned around, she cut me bad. Scolded me like a dog, kicked me to the curb, she ran off.
- She's gone Kewl to Kruel, Kewl to Kruel.
- Blind with love, never saw her evil ways, damage done, got burned by the flame.
- Now after all this time, I thank god she's gone. I learned my lesson well, after all, she put me through hell.
- She's gone Kewl to Kruel, Kewl to Kruel, Kewl to Kruel, Kewl to Kruel.

Poor Mr. Grover (Revisited)
- We was heading out the other day, headed to the back-country across Florida Bay. It was mid January, the sun was scorchin' my head. About fifteen miles out, around about Rabbit Key, old Mr. Grover under a big mangrove tree, old he was wise, he was fat, the king of the hole.
- Once long ago, well he got hooked, fought and got off it baby, got himself loose, and he lived under the mangrove, watching the world go by.
- But on this day, he ran out of luck, along came the Golden Boy, the Turk and Chuck, old Mr. Grover the sun must have scorched his head.
- He couldn't resist, so he made his move, he's fighting his last stand around that mangrove root. Old Mr. Grover, the king of the hole.
- Now I reminisce, and I feel kind of sad, that was the worse day that old boy ever had. Old Mr. Grover was the king of the hole, old Mr. Grover was the king, of the hole. He was the king of the hole, he was the king of the hole. Old Mr. Grover was the king, Oh yea.

Those Eyes by D.L. Chastain
- You know I loved you from the beginning , got your back where ever you go. Some things in life are never ending, like a window to your soul. I was there the day they opened, from that moment child I knew. No matter what happened good or bad, I would always know the truth.
- Through those eyes, those eyes, though they sometimes hypnotize. Those eyes they give you away every time, I can see you through those eyes.
- Now you've grown up so much older, and you come to realize. When the world is on your shoulder, I can see it through those eyes.
- Those eyes, Those eyes, though they sometimes hypnotize. Those eyes they give you away every time, I can see you through those eyes. I can see you through those eyes.
- Through those eyes, those eyes, though they sometimes hypnotize. Those eyes they give you away every time, I can see you through those eyes.

Livin' on Borrowed Time
- Was it yesterday? Maybe tomorrow. It all seemed like today, when time is borrowed. Loosing track of the hours, Livin' on Borrowed time.
- Even the hands of time, numbered the same. Can't tell night from day, they go on anyway. Loosing track of the hours, Livin' on Borrowed Time.
- Take a look around, everything in your life. Put a smile on your face now, take it in stride, realize.
- From the day you were born, life is just a moment. It only works one way, when time is borrowed. Loosing track of the hours, Livin' on Borrowed Time.
- Was it yesterday? Maybe tomorrow. It all seemed like today, when time is borrowed. Loosing track of the hours, Livin' on Borrowed time. Loosing track of the hours, Livin' on Borrowed time. Loosing track of the hours, were all Livin' on Borrowed time.

- People smile and say, as he goes down, he really thinks he's something else. But I can't help it, ya'll, I really got it good. My baby morning kisses has always made me feel this way.
- Like a Big shot, everything is going right. Like a Big shot, since she came into my life. Her love has made a Big Shot out of me.
- Got a two room shack, on a little bitty farm. Raise chickens, dogs and lots of love. When I walk out that door, I hold my head up high. Mother nature's greatest gift, that made me quit a guy.
- I'm a Big Shot, everything is going right. I'm a Big Shot, since she came into my life. Her love has made a Big Shot out of me. Oh, her love has made a Big Shot out of me.

Snockered
Snockered
I got snockered again
Said I wouldn’t then I did
Drinkin’ with my friends
I got snockered again
There aint no excuse
Just wanna cut loose
Have fun I need some
Let’s have another one
I got snockered again
Said I wouldn’t then I did
Drinkin’ with my friends
I got snockered again
I’m dreadin’ tomorrow
Hell its four am
Gotta get to my job
Damn that hair of the dog
I got snockered again
Said I wouldn’t then I did
Drinkin’ with my friends
I got snockered again
Fell down on the floor
I can’t take any more
Said I’d never do it again
Now again here I am
Now I’m nursin’ the first one
Get out this bar by ten
Headin’ out the door
I see Jack my old friend

Gates to Heaven
He’s a southern man who came from north Alabama
Drove short haul from Tampa to Miami
A wife and nine kids lord it’s plain to see
He drove all day long to feed his family
His name is Ethridge, we call him Paw Paw
65 years ago he married Maw Maw
A hard workin’ man who likes to go fishin’
Golf a round or sit and visit
He’sshade tree mechanic he could make that engine hum
Hang dry wall, and cut a rug
Make you laugh at a joke you heard a dozen times before
A jack of all trades and a master of love
Climb up that cab and fire up that old Mack
You got last haul the Lord’s callin’ you back
No logs, no maps, no load to drop by seven
Hit the highway fly the skyway
Enter the Gate of Heaven
30 years ago I took the hand of his youngest daughter
Brooksville Florida land of gators and otters
Now he’s on the road to paradise
Roll on Paw Paw roll on
Climb up that cab and fire up that old Mack
You got last haul the Lord’s callin’ you back
No logs, no maps, no load to drop by seven
Hit the highway fly the skyway
Enter the Gate of Heaven
Hit the highway fly the skyway
Enter the Gate of Heaven

Charlie’s Song
I’m just a man just like my old man
I‘ve been workin’ hard nearly all my life
I’ve lived and I’ve learned
I’ve got cut and I’ve been burned
But I did what I had to do to make it right
Now I aint got much but that old truck out there’s mine
I aintcomplainin’ everything’s workin’ out fine
This is Charlie’s song he taught me right from wrong
Made me the man that’s standin’ here today
This is Charlie’s song said son when you do wrong
Step up and be the man you were raised to be
I got a new smart phone I got a flat screen TV
I got a teenage daughter swear to God she thinks she smarter than me
But when I think about me and dad and all those fights we had
Now I know it takes a man to be dad
This is Charlie’s song he taught me right from wrong
Made me the man that’s standin’ here today
This is Charlie’s song said son when you do wrong
Step up and be the man you were raised to be
Now I pray to the Lord and I thank him for all I have
My family my friends and my Mom and Dad
When my time has come and that old farm is sold
I pray I see ole Charlie once again
Once again
This is Charlie’s song
OH-OH Charlie’s song
This is Charlie’s song

Flyin’ with the Buzzard
Living on the edge jammin’ every night
Don’t know what he’s doin’ but it sure feels right
So barmaid pour me some whiskey
I need something to bring me down
Cuz when the Buzzard’s flyin’high
I need to keep it on the ground
When the jammin’s tight
And the music’s right
We’ll be flyin’ all night
Flyin’ all night Yea he’s fired up tonight
Soarin’ like an eagle
Stratosphere he’s outta sight
Flyin’ all night can the boy get it right
Flyin’ with the Buzzard and it sure feels right
BUZZARD COME BACK
When we were kids listened to the blues
Buddy Guy and Johnny Winter man they’re flyers too
And when we hit the stage nothin’ came bring us down
Smokin’ Jokin’ Midnight tokin
Pretty girls getting’ down
Cuz when the jammin’s tight
And the music’s right
We’ll be flyin’ all night
Flyin’ all night Yea he’s fired up tonight
Soarin’ like an eagle
Stratosphere he’s outta sight
Flyin’ all night can the boy get it right
Flyin’ with the Buzzard and it sure feels right
We’re flyin’ with the Buzzard and it sure feels right

1000 Miles from Home
Work all week doin’ what I like
In a honky tonk bar I’ve made my life
Got a little girl 1000 miles from here
On Sunday night I’m gonna make there
You know I love my baby 1000 miles from home
I watch them girls all dressed up tight
Yeah I watch ‘emdance,flirt and fight
Home alone I get the blues again
Sunday night I’m on the road again
'Cuase I love my baby 1000 miles from home
1000 miles aint really that far
You just stay between the lines and drive it hard
You know my baby’s waiting for me
But I can’t wait I gotta speed
Musical Interlude
1000 miles aint really that far
You just stay between the lines and drive it hard
You know my baby’s waiting for me
But I can’t wait I gotta speed
Tuesday night back in the Keys
Playin’ for the folks in a coconut breeze
Dick’s rockin’ the house every night
Then that girl will cross my mind
Cause I love my baby 1000 miles from home
Yeah I love my baby
Drives me crazy
Love my baby 1000 miles from home
