Radio Cowboy

I've been getting up at five every day of my life
Used to rush to do (ts)chores
Now all I do is drive
To the radio stations to sell my songs
Find some loyal listeners try to turn 'em on
Stead of riding my horse through long dusty days
Nowm all around the world riding radio waves
This ain’t a rodeo I ain’t pullin’ for first prize
But if you can hear my voice then I’ve got your heart in my sights
I’ll lay you low with the tale of a reckless outlaw runnin' wild
'Cause ever since I kissed that saddle goodbye
I’ve been a radio cowboy
Once I picked up that six string nothing was the same
I know every highway out there
And every dj’s name
got a beautiful girl back home i know we’re gonna make it somehow
I bet she’s listenin' right now
This ain’t a rodeo I ain’t pullin’ for first prize
But if you can hear my voice then I’ve got your heart in my sights
I’ll lay you low with the tale of a reckless outlaw runnin' wild
'Cause ever since I kissed that saddle goodbye
I’ve been a radio cowboy
Been a rodeo Cowboy
Turn that dial find some Merle n Waylon
You just might hear me right there with 'em
Johnny and June
Willie and Trigger
side by side with my heroes comin' outta your speakers
This ain’t a rodeo I ain’t pullin’ for first prize
But if you can hear my voice then I’ve got your heart in my sights
I’ll lay you low with the tale of a reckless outlaw runnin' wild
'Cause ever since I kissed that saddle goodbye
I’ve been a radio cowboy
Been a rodeo Cowboy

Carry The Wind
04:08

The last time I saw him alive
Was in the first rays of the morning light
Breathin' in the February air
I watched him break into a run
Then every rodeo we ever won came flooding back, I grinned from ear to ear
A horse like that
Comes along once in a lifetime
When I lost him I lost myself in prayer
Searched the Bible
Found a story
Of horses carrying God's glory
With the winds to every corner of the earth
Chorus
Father tell me if you can
Does my horse carry the wind
Does he fly with angel's wings across the ocean
When I die will you wash my sins
So I can ride him once again
Cause I don't know when I've been this lost and lonesome
Father tell me if you can Does my horse carry the wind
He used to bravely work the cows
Then turn gentle when there were kids around
A horse like that just can't stay down forever
Guess he was needed up in heaven
Chorus
Father tell me if you can
Does my horse carry the wind
Does he fly with angel's wings across the ocean
When I die will you wash my sins
So I can ride him once again
Cause I don't know when I've been this lost and lonesome
Father tell me if you can Does my horse carry the wind

Hey kid I was once like you
Full of spit with a lot to prove
But listen up lets talk it through
I can tell you're new to this
Tighten up your saddle straps
You'll break a finger holding the horn like that
Trust your horse
Keep your eye on the cattle
That's just my two cents
Chorus
This ain't my first rodeo
My first one was
Holdin' my breath
Covered in sweat
My heart beating out of my chest
You know the feeling you get
When you've found something you love
This ain't my first rodeo
But I wish it was
I've been workin' arenas for years
I know how winning that buckle feels
And I've waited for bones to heal
So I could get up in the saddle again
To feel that first time adrenaline
But I'm just not the buck that I was back then
Bridge
My eyes ain't sharp like yours are
My muscles ain't as strong
Only reason I can do so well is
I've been doing it so long
I'm telling you my secret
Cause I see you've got the curse
Ride every single rodeo
Like it's your very first
Chorus
Instrumental
Chorus
Ain't my first rodeo
But I wish it was 2x

Ghost
03:47
|
|||
|
I carved a headstone
Here lies another sleepless night
I tried to bury the bones
Of all the memories you left behind
Chorus
You're standing in the doorway
Of my bruised and battered mind
And I can't stand to see the doorway closed
So I stay trapped here in the darkness
'Cause I'm blinded by the light
Guess I'll spend the rest of my life
Being haunted by your ghost
You left a novel by your chair
That I can't bear to put away
Your eyes in this photo still follow me
Even though the edge is frayed
Bridge
The clock is counting days and hours and seconds since you left
I guess the only place where time is on my side is in my head
Chorus
(Instrumental)
You're standing in the doorway
Of my bruised and battered mind
And I can't stand to see the doorway closed
So I stay trapped here in the darkness
'Cause I'm blinded by the light
Guess I'll spend the rest of my life
Where your image is so life-like
Yeah I'll spend the rest of my life
Being haunted by your ghost
Haunted by your ghost

This Old House
04:46
|
|||
|
The trucks are loaded up with all our things
Yours will drive to Memphis and mine to New Orleans
And though you wish I would
I know that I can't stay
Sometimes a broken heart just can't be saved
There's an empty house standing behind me
I'm trying not to look so I don't cry
Cause if I do, I know I'll be reminded
Of all the memories we left inside
Chorus:
Scratches on the floor from moving chairs for family suppers
Half a can of gray from when we painted all the shutters
Holes from where we hung the pictures of our wedding day
When we made vows we thought we'd never break
Creaky wooden stairs leading down to Christmas mornings
A dirty fireplace that kept us warm when it was storming
There was a time we thought that we had everything we'd need
Crazy how time goes and changes things
But this old house still holds our memories
If those walls could talk they'd tell a story
'Bout love and all the pain that it can bring
And how I knew damn well that I'd be sorry
If I ever chose to walk away
From
Chorus

This old house still holds our memories

Harvest Moon Heart
03:55
|
|||
|
She's honest and wise
I could drown in her eyes
She knows me better than I know myself
She's grounded and strong
And I've known all along
I'd never love anyone else
Chorus
Her heart's as big as a harvest moon
She lights up every room
Oh how she shines
When she loves it's the truest kind
My lucky stars align
When her harvest moon heart loves on mine
Through the hardest of times
We dance side by side
She always knows the right thing say
She makes me laugh
She's my better half
I'll do anything to keep it that way
Chorus
Instrumental
Chorus
When her harvest moon heart
Loves on mine

My Family's Got Fur
03:09
|
|||
|
I wake up to a wet nose pushing on my cheek
It's like my Border Collie's saying,
"Daddy time to herd those sheep.
We've got a lot of work to do
Come on and follow me
The sun is up, don't wanna waste the day."
Chorus:
My family's got fur
My family's got fur
And I can't imagine my life
Without a dog running by my side
I need them just as much
As they need me
'Cause they're my family
My dogs are braver than I'll ever be
They run straight into danger
And they'll sacrifice their life for those in need
They're the hardest workers on the ranch
And I'm eternally
Grateful for the love they give to me
Bridge:
They say that dogs are man's best friend
But they're so much more than that
To me

Dust

The cowboys in the movies
Don't tell you the whole story
I'm living proof
We're not it in for the glory
Same thing every morning
Cup of coffee and a smoke
Then it's work and mud and pain and blood
And fixin' what is broke
Chorus
This life is hard
I'm not gonna lie
But cowgirls/cowboys don't cry
This life is hard
Just tryin' to stay alive
But cowgirls/cowboys don't cry
We just get dust in our eyes
Every new day in the saddle
Brings a new chance to get trampled
It's not if, it's when you'll break your ass
Yeah every day's a gamble
Chorus
Bridge
These scars tell the stories of my life
And I thank God for them every night
Oh these scars they tell the stories of my life
And I thank God for them every night
This life is hard
I'm not gonna lie
But cowgirls/cowboys don't cry
This life is hard
Just tryin' to stay alive
But cowgirls/cowboys don't cry
No cowboys don't cry
Cowboys don't cry
We just get dust in our eyes
These scars tell the stories of my life
And I thank God for them every night

Sunsets At The Ranch
03:46
|
|||
|
I've watched it sink behind the Tennessee mountains
And soak into the ocean as I walked along the beach
I've seen it seep into the clouds outside the window of a plane
But none of them feels quite the same to me as the
Chorus
Sunsets at the ranch
Where the branches of our family tree climb taller every year
It's where I'll always stay
To watch the sun go down with you right here
Sometimes the sun covers the field just like a blanket
Keeping all the livestock warm for just a minute more
It's a view I know I'll never take for granted
Being here with you is what I'm living for
Chorus
Instrumental
The sun is like a bonfire burnin' down on the horizon
It's light will always lead me home to you
Chorus
To watch the sun go down with you right here

Push That Horn
04:10
|
|||
|
I went to the States
To be a cowboy
Met a man
Who taught me how to cut
He said “Boy, you're gonna win it all some day
So I’m gonna work you night and day
Chorus:
He yelled "Push that horn"
And I did
Til my hand was torn and it bled
If it wasn‘t for him,
Wouldn‘t be where I am,
He gave it all,
So I could win, so I could win
At my first show
He gave me advice
Sit deep in the saddle
And try not to die
So I rode out,
Stared that cow in the eye
Dropped the reins and gave it a try
Chorus
Now he‘s in heaven our training is through
I‘ll hold up his legacy that‘s what I‘ll do
I miss the time with him on the road
Cause it was the best that I‘ll ever know
Chorus ending on:
so I could win, and boy did I win

Time For Some Ink
03:08

I need to catch a buzz
From a tattoo pen
Gotta get some pictures on my skin
Grew up dreamin'
'Bout havin' one on my arm
Earned the money from my first job on the farm
Chorus
Tell me I'm addicted
I don't care what you think
It's time for some ink
It's time for some ink
You can see the stories
Of who I've loved and lost
Dreams I've chased and what it's cost
It's my way
Of soothing my soul
I'll be gettin' 'em 'til I'm good old
Chorus
Needle keeps on stinging
The pain is real
But I'll be getting a new one
As soon as this one heals
Chorus 2x
I need to catch a buzz
From a tattoo pen
Gotta get some pictures on my skin

This Gift Called Life

She looks like you, the doctor said
In the delivery room as I cradled your head
Your eyes were blue, just like the sky
Reflecting over an ocean, so wide
Pre Chorus
And it was like looking in a mirror
And suddenly everything seemed so much clearer
Chorus
I knew then
Why I was made
God put me here to raise you
And to keep you safe
He made your eyes
Look just like mine
To remind me of this gift called life
I followed you through every first
First smile, first laugh, first steps, first words
You were messy like me and never rehearsed
In a rush to grow into your future
Bridge
Left eye bruised from a fight at school
Standing up for someone smaller than you
And as I held the pack of ice
Couldn't take away the pain
But I knew I had to try
Pre Chorus
'Cause it was like looking in a mirror
And being so proud of what you see there
I knew then
Why I was made
God put me here to raise you
And to keep you safe
He made your eyes
Look just like mine
To remind me of this gift called life
Instrumental
I knew then
Why I was made
God put me here to raise you

And to keep you safe
He made your eyes
Look just like mine
To remind me of this gift called life
Tag
You remind me of this gift called life

Feels like I'm half a world away
But I close my eyes and see your face
And every day is one more day
Closer to you
Every night on foreign ground
As I lay my gun an helmet down
I can almost hear the sound
Of peace breaking through
Chorus
When I make it home for Christmas
I'm gonna wrap you in my arms
You will find all your wishes
Right here in my heart
We'll dance by the fire
Celebrate life
As I cover you in kisses
When I make it home for Christmas
At night I look up at the sky
Pretend the stars are Christmas lights
Draped across our tree and I
I think of you
I bow my head and say a prayer
A Christmas wish I hope God hears
That you feel me over there
And I hope you do
When I make it home for Christmas
I'm gonna wrap you in my arms
You will find all your wishes
Right here in my heart
We'll dance by the fire
Celebrate life
As I cover you in kisses
When I make it home for Christmas
Oh oh oh
I can't wait 'til we touch down
And I plant my feet in my hometown
And the snow starts softly falling all around us
When I make it home for Christmas
I'm gonna wrap you in my arms
You will find all your wishes
Right here in my heart
We'll dance by the fire
Celebrate life
As I cover you in kisses
When I make it home for Christmas
Feels like I'm half a world away
But I close my eyes and see your face
And every day is one more day
Closer to you

Beast Made Of Steel
03:55
|

|
My mind goes back to the day I signed
My life away on that dotted line
Now dotted lines are all I see
From dawn to sunset all I do is drive
I'm chasing heat mirages
Tryin' to stay out of garages
From Houston to the hills of Tennessee
I never miss a deadline
But I damn sure miss my home and family
Chorus
Ridin' in this beast made of steel
Strung out from this life behind the wheel
Like Jonah I've been swallowed whole
I'll eat and sleep and might grow old
Ridin' in this beast made of steel
Snapshots on the dashboard
Are the people I need cash for
While I miss the birthdays, baseball games
And anniversaries
Gettin' brainwashed by some crackpot
On the radio who thinks that
Everything is just one big conspiracy
Chorus
Instrumental
5x Chorus
