"Ride To Robert's" lyrics
"Ride To Robert's"
Everything's green right now
Tennessee at the end of June
You get a day to come down
We'll ride to Robert's in the afternoon
Before the room gets packed
We'll claim a table at the upstairs bar
And count the cowboy hats
Bachelorettes that don't know where they are
And I don't say things that I don't mean
You're the best thing I've ever seen
You can have my money if you spend your own
Well, I'm still running, but I'm not alone
We all get lost out here
The deepest ditches line the righteous path
God said, "Hold my beer"
And he made a man so He could watch and laugh
But everything's good these days
We'll ride to Robert's on a Friday night
And hear Don Kelley play
And I'll catch you dreaming in the neon light
'Cause I don't say things that I don't mean
You're the best thing I've ever seen
You can have my closet and my herringbone
Well, I ain't lost yet, I'm headed home
Everything's green right now
Tennessee is looking after you
You get a year to come down
I'll put an easel in the empty room
You can dream all day
Ride to Robert's when we crave a steel
Find some peace that way
And give your heart a little time to heal
I don't say things that I don't mean
You're the best thing I've ever seen
You can have my closet for your fancy shoes
Well, I ain't lost yet, so much to lose

Ian Noe - "Off This Mountaintop" I've laid up here so long, I can't recall what for
Was it the wine-stained bed or the creakin' floor?
Either way I'm fed-up now and drunk and blue
I'm comin' off this mountaintop for you
I know this...
Gillian Welch - "Annabelle" Lease twenty acres and one Ginny mule
From the Alabama Trust
Half of the cotton, third of the corn
Get a handful of dust
We cannot have all things to please us
No matter how we try

Dave Rawlings Machine - "Ruby" Ruby, let down your golden hair
When I'm standing at the bottom of your stairs
Ruby, I can see your TV on
But the people there, they flicker and they're gone
So let down your golden hair for me...
Taylor McCall - "So Damn Lucky" Sober up, settle down
You should be gone by now
But you're not
Don't know how I got
So damn lucky
I'm just like my old man
Mama tries best she can
You're like her a lot
Don't know how I got
So damn...
Dawes - "All Your Favorite Bands" Late night drives and hot french fries and friends around the country
From Charlottesville to good old Santa Fe
When I think of you, you still got on that hat that says let's party
I hope that thing...
