"Tailgate Blues" lyrics
Yes, I catch my buzz in the black of night
Where nobody ever goes
And the warm wind blows
If I lose my cool in the open, it'll show
I'm down and I ain't alright
I search my soul where there is no moon
The trees all cross
And they're covered in moss
If the crickets wanna know, I'll tell them what I lost
Oh, I got the tailgate blues
Well, I ain't sure where it all began
Somewhere around here I know
This bridge was a little more crowded then
I was playing her a tailgate show
Now, I'm just sitting here alone
To catch my buzz in the black of night
Where nobody ever goes
And the warm wind blows
If I lose my cool in the open, it'll show
That I'm down and I ain't alright
I search my soul where there is no moon
The trees all cross
And they're covered in moss
If the crickets wanna know, I'll tell them what I lost
Oh, I got the tailgate blues
Damn that AM radio for playing more than a song
My heart won't beat if the strings get broke
The melody's hitting me wrong
Right here where she belongs
I catch my buzz in the black of night
Where nobody ever goes
And the warm wind blows
If I lose my cool in the open, it'll show
That I'm down and I ain't alright
I search my soul where there is no moon
The trees all cross
And they're covered in moss
If the crickets wanna know, I'll tell them what I lost
Oh, I got the tailgate blues
The crickets heard my story, and I listened to 'em sing
Guess I'll close the tailgate up
There ain't no telling what tomorrow might bring
Maybe me and a Dixie cup
But that won't be enough
Guess I catch my buzz in the black of night
Where nobody ever goes
And the warm wind blows
If I lose my cool in the open, it'll show
I'm down and I ain't alright
I search my soul where there is no moon
The trees all cross
And they're covered in moss
If the crickets wanna know, then I'll tell them what I lost
Oh, I got the tailgate blues
I catch my buzz in the black of night
Where nobody ever goes
And the warm wind blows
If I lose my cool in the open, it'll show
That I'm down and I ain't alright
Where nobody ever goes
And the warm wind blows
If I lose my cool in the open, it'll show
I'm down and I ain't alright
I search my soul where there is no moon
The trees all cross
And they're covered in moss
If the crickets wanna know, I'll tell them what I lost
Oh, I got the tailgate blues
Well, I ain't sure where it all began
Somewhere around here I know
This bridge was a little more crowded then
I was playing her a tailgate show
Now, I'm just sitting here alone
To catch my buzz in the black of night
Where nobody ever goes
And the warm wind blows
If I lose my cool in the open, it'll show
That I'm down and I ain't alright
I search my soul where there is no moon
The trees all cross
And they're covered in moss
If the crickets wanna know, I'll tell them what I lost
Oh, I got the tailgate blues
Damn that AM radio for playing more than a song
My heart won't beat if the strings get broke
The melody's hitting me wrong
Right here where she belongs
I catch my buzz in the black of night
Where nobody ever goes
And the warm wind blows
If I lose my cool in the open, it'll show
That I'm down and I ain't alright
I search my soul where there is no moon
The trees all cross
And they're covered in moss
If the crickets wanna know, I'll tell them what I lost
Oh, I got the tailgate blues
The crickets heard my story, and I listened to 'em sing
Guess I'll close the tailgate up
There ain't no telling what tomorrow might bring
Maybe me and a Dixie cup
But that won't be enough
Guess I catch my buzz in the black of night
Where nobody ever goes
And the warm wind blows
If I lose my cool in the open, it'll show
I'm down and I ain't alright
I search my soul where there is no moon
The trees all cross
And they're covered in moss
If the crickets wanna know, then I'll tell them what I lost
Oh, I got the tailgate blues
I catch my buzz in the black of night
Where nobody ever goes
And the warm wind blows
If I lose my cool in the open, it'll show
That I'm down and I ain't alright
