"Tip Jar" lyrics
"Tip Jar"
Me and the boys, we played every frat house and dive
We rocked the Razorbacks, the Vols and the Crimson Tide
We were down in Destin when she walked up to the stage
Dropped a note in the tip jar, blew a kiss and walked away
I counted two hundred dollars, one request for the Grateful Dead
A couple bottle caps, a business card, and a perfume note that said:
"I love hurricanes and long-necks, and guitars cranked up on ten
Waking up with the sunset, and hanging here at the Hog's Breath
Lighters raised up in the smoke rings, the sunburn on some new ink
I'm hearing Drift Away while you sing, and kissing beneath the stars"
Oh man, you find all kind of things in a tip jar
I held her that summer, living on borrowed time
'Cause once September comes, everybody says goodbye
Now it's the last show and here she comes to the stage
Dropped a snapshot in the tip jar, blew a kiss and walked away
I counted five hundred dollars, one request for the Grateful Dead
And a picture of her with those long tan legs, and on the back it said:
"I love hurricanes and long-necks, and guitars cranked up on ten
Waking up with you at sunset, and hanging here at the Hog's Breath
Lighters raised up in the smoke rings, the sunburn on some new ink
I'm hearing Drift Away while you sing, baby, take care of my heart"
Man, you find all kind of things in a tip jar
I see lighters raised in the smoke rings, and sunburn on some new ink
I'm playing Drift Away but I can't sing, as she slips off into the dark
Man, you find all kind of things in a tip jar
Yeah, you find all kind of things in a tip jar
Thanks to Laurennnn for correcting these lyrics.

Corey Kent White - "Till You Find A Keeper" Sun rise on a creek bank
Some old poles and some fresh bait
Me and my grandpa wastin' time
She's gone and I'm heart broke
I don't know how, but he knows
He could tell I needed some good advice...
Mo Pitney - "Boy & A Girl Thing" He's gross, she's got cooties
That's just how it's supposed to be
He hates dumb tea parties
She won't climb a tree
It's a boy and a girl thing
A girl and a boy thing
She'll stop wearin' pigtails...
Jon Pardi - "Happens All The Time" How 'bout tonight we just go crazy
Shoot out the lights then who knows maybe
We'll dance in the dark and won't come apart 'til mornin'
Sneaks in to find us then we'll start over
The day won't unwind...
Adam Craig - "Reckon" Reckon she's down in New Orleans
Turnin' them heads on Burbon Street
Like a hurricane everybody gonna know her name
When she blows through
Reckon she's rockin' down I-10 in a 90 mile an hour
Goodbye...
Chase Rice - "Look At My Truck" There's a Bible on the dash, a little to good at collecting dust
There's a shotgun on the rack, and that rearviews got a picture of us
That radio dial stays on 95.3 cause it's the only one around...
