FIRST KISS (R.J. Ritchie/M. Young)

I remember waiting for the school busJenny Clayton was my first crushAnd neither one of us had a clueAn old Cheyenne it was my first truckRusted, rough and kinda beat upBut when she jumped in it felt brand new

And now these days when I drive through a small townI turn my stereo up and roll my windows downCuz it reminds me of my first kissAnd those days that I always missTom Petty on the radioGoing steady with nowhere to goNo money just time to spendAn old Chevy and a couple friendsOh how I wish that I could go back in timeJust to love you again

I remember drinking from the same cupWe’d break up just to make upI remember falling in love with youSmokin’ cigarettes on the tailgateMan it seems like it was yesterdayWhen Main Street felt like Park Avenue

And when I’m driving through any ol’ small townI turn my stereo up and roll my windows downCuz it reminds me of my first kissAnd those times that I always missTom Petty on the radioGoing steady with nowhere to goNo money just time to spendAn old Chevy and a couple friendsOh how I wish that I could go back in time

When forever felt like it would never comeAnd we never thought we’d turn 21So young we thought this could never endOh how I wish we could go back again

And now that time has taken overAnd we can’t fight this getting olderBut somehow baby we made it throughAnd every time I’m lookin’ at youIt reminds me of my first kissAnd those days that I always missTom Petty on the radioGoing steady with nowhere to goNo money just time to spend

An old Chevy and a couple friendsOh how I wish that I could go back in timeJust to love you againJust to love you againJust to love you againJust to love you againOh how I wish that I could go back in time

GOOD TIMES, CHEAP WINE (R.J. Ritchie/M. Young)

I ain’t never been a champagne drinking manAnd I ain’t never been a Coldplay music fanI ain’t never gonna fit into skinny jeansAnd Coachella honey really ain’t my kind of scene

I like some good times, cheap wine, back beat rock n rollI’m like fine wine, sunshine, baby I never get old If you’re lookin’ for a hot mess, honey well here I amHey you can try to change me or love me just the way I am

Now I ain’t never gonna have four million friendsAnd I ain’t never gonna follow the latest trendsI don’t wanna read your Facebook posts or tweetsI just wanna hold you close and feel your heart beat

I like some good times, cheap wine, back beat rock n roll I’m like fine wine, sunshine, baby I never get old If you’re lookin’ for a hot mess, honey well here I amHey you can try to change me or love me just the way I am

I want to squeeze you, hug you, shake you and make you screamI want to dance all night with you by the record machine

I like some good times, cheap wine, back beat rock n rollI’m like fine wine, sunshine, baby I never get old

I like some good times, cheap wine, back beat rock n rollI’m like fine wine, sunshine, baby I never get old

If you’re lookin’ for a hot mess, honey well here I amYou can try to change me or love me just the way I amYou can try to change me or love me just the way I amYou can try to change me or love me, love me just the way I am

JOHNNY CASH (R.J. Ritchie)

I like the French braids in your hairAnd them fitted blue jeans that you wearI like to watch you shoot your gunsAnd I like the way you love having fun, oh baby

I like the way you turn me onJust like an old Keith Whitley songI like the way you shake it, work itTen out of ten baby you’re perfect

You know the sun is shining on KentuckyThey’re drinking bourbon by the batchI walk that line because you love meAnd I wanna be your Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash

I like the way you hold my handAnd play just like my baby grandI like how you don’t give a damnAnd love me just the way I am, the way I am

You know the sun is shining on KentuckyThey’re drinking bourbon by the batchI walk that line because you love meAnd I wanna be your Johnny Cash, Johnny CashAnd lay you down in that blue grass

That certain smile hey girl you own itCome lay your head here next to mineYou know I cherish every momentAnd I love you till the end of time, end of time, end of time

You know the sun is shining on KentuckyThey’re drinking bourbon by the batchI walk that line because you love meAnd I wanna be your Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash Sun is shining on KentuckyThey’re drinking bourbon by the batchI walk that line because you love meAnd I wanna be your Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash

And lay you down in that blue grassAnd lay you down in that blue grassAnd lay you down in that blue grass

AIN’T ENOUGH WHISKEY (R.J. Ritchie/M. Young)

They talk about money, talk about jobsTalk about religion and playing the oddsTalk about freedom, talk about faithThey talking ’bout taking my guns awayMonkeys in suits writing laws and rules, they just bicker and fightBut I ain’t gotta listen to them goddamn fools cuz I know what’s right

Ain’t enough whiskey, women and wineAin’t enough money, stitches and timeMoonshine honey, little white line Ain’t enough change to change my mindRock on

They talk about the greedy, talk about the poor They talking ’bout sending my daughter to warTalk about spending, talk about pay, they talk about defending the NSAMonkeys in suits writing laws and rules, there’s no end in sightBut I ain’t gotta listen to them goddamn fools cuz I know what’s right

Ain’t enough whiskey, women and wineAin’t enough money, stitches and time

Moonshine honey, little white line Ain’t enough change to change my mind

I might be crazy but I ain’t no foolI got them red-blooded white boy blues

Ain’t enough whiskey, women and wineAin’t enough money, stitches and timeMoonshine honey, little white line Ain’t enough change to change my mind

Ain’t enough whiskey, women and wineAin’t enough money, stitches and timeMoonshine honey, little white line Ain’t enough change to change my mind

DRINKING BEER WITH DAD(R.J. Ritchie)

It’s the simple things in lifeBut life ain’t so simple rightTimes get hard and people can make you madBut I remember when I was youngI couldn’t wait to turn 21To sit in the backyard son and drink beer with dad

Drinking beer with dadOut there on the back porch swingingDrinking beer with dadPicking my guitar and grinning

We’d hem and haw, we’d cuss and fightBut that’s where I learned life’s best adviceWe’d talk about when I was young and badSometimes he’d make me fightin’ madThe best education I ever hadWas out there on the back porch drinking beer with dad

Nowadays most things have changed

This whole world is heading down the drainThere’s no God in schoolsTotin’ guns is the latest fadA little discipline would sure be nice A little lesson in wrong and rightMaybe it’s time young man to have a beer with dad

Drinking beer with dadOut there on the back porch swingingDrinking beer with dadPicking my guitar and singing

I’d play him songs all through the nightLike praise the Lord I saw the lightWe’d stay up late and make mom madBut half the time we’d just laugh and laughSome of the best times I ever had Was out there on the back porch drinking beer with dad

Now son I’m so damn proud of youAnd the young man you’ve turned intoYou’re the best son a father could ever haveAnd though your grandpa’s done past onSoon you’ll be 21So come on the back porch son and have a beer with dad

Drinking beer with dadOut there on the back porch swingingDrinking beer with dadPicking our guitars and grinningWe’ll hem and haw, we’ll cuss and fightBut I’ll pass along life’s best advice We’ll talk about your old granddadThe things he gave us he never hadI wish forever our time could last I wish this world wouldn’t move so fastOut here on the back porch Out here on the back porch drinking beer with dad

GOOD TIME LOOKIN’ FOR ME(R.J. Ritchie/M. Young)

I’m gonna find a highway or back road I could roll onPut some weight in the tank now and fire up my favorite songI’m gonna ride to nowhere or anywhere I can be free, yeahCuz I know somewhere there’s a good time lookin’ for me

I’m gonna find the crossroads and wash Mississippi cleanAnd deal that devil his due me and old Jimmy BeamI’m gonna find some white lines and follow them wherever they leadCuz I know somewhere there’s a good time lookin’ for me

A juke joint jumpin’ with whiskey flowing like a river, yeahA cowboy band with a banjo picker and a fiddler, yeahI’m gonna look under every stone and shake every treeCuz I know somewhere there’s a good time lookin’ for me

I’m gonna keep on moving even if I have to thumb my wayI’m so tired of feuding and watching my life slip awayNow I don’t really care if it’s New York or TennesseeCuz I know somewhere there’s a good time lookin’ for me

A juke joint jumpin’ with whiskey flowing like a river, yeahA cowboy band with a banjo picker and a fiddler, yeahI’m gonna look under every stone and shake every treeCuz I know somewhere there’s a good time lookin’ for me

I said baby, baby, baby don’t you wanna go?I said baby, baby, baby don’t you wanna go?

I got my hand on the throttle, I’m telling you I’m on my wayI can’t wait for tomorrow or sit around for Judgment DayAnd I could care less about anywhere that I gotta beCuz I know somewhere there’s a good time lookin’ for meCuz I know somewhere there’s a good time lookin’ for meCuz I know somewhere there’s a good time lookin’ for me

BEST OF ME (R.J. Ritchie/M. Young)

I can’t sing like Marvin Gaye, noI can’t play that grand pianoI never was at the top of my classI never threw no touchdown passAll I got is cut glass to stand onCuz I never planned on getting my hands onNo kind of cash or a woman like youThat could last the whole life throughBut now that you’re here, it seems so clear

Now I ain’t got no southern mansionAnd I ain’t much good at slow dancingI never swam the English ChannelAnd people they say I’m hard to handleCuz I’m like a candle in the windBut where you end is where I beginAnd I never win cuz I’m good at losingAnd thank the Lord I’m good at choosingCuz now that you’re here, it seems so clear

When the lights go down and the music playsI feel like a king that could sing for daysI know sometimes that we don’t always agreeThey scream for more and the more I giveIt takes a toll on the way we livePlease forgive me baby and try and seeYeah try and seePlease try and seeThat you get the best of me

Now I didn’t make no reservationsAnd I didn’t plan no great vacationCuz I’ve been chasing rain drops fallingRunning from love when it keeps callingAnd I know you think I’m just playing the fieldBut let me show you girl what’s realCuz I’m all in like a crazy gambler And though I don’t have all the answersNow that you’re here, it seems so clear

When the lights go down and the music playsI feel like a king that could sing for daysI know sometimes that we don’t always agreeThey scream for more and the more I giveIt takes a toll on the life we livePlease forgive me baby and try and seeYeah try and seePlease try and seeThat you get the best of me

When the lights go down and the music playsI feel like a king that could sing for daysI know sometimes that we don’t always agreeThey scream for more and the more I giveIt takes a toll on the life we livePlease forgive me baby and try and seeYeah try and seePlease try and seeThat you get the best of meBest of me Best of meYou get the best of meBest of meBest of meYou get the best of meYou get the best of me

ONE MORE SONG (R.J. Ritchie)

It’s so damn fine to see you once againIt’s been so long and I sure could use a friendMy baby left me high and dry last eveningAnd all I can do is try and stop the bleedingI got no money and feel so alone and I ain’t got much to sayI should be headed home right now but I think I’d rather staySo play one more song, turn up the radioAnd play one more song cuz I’m not ready to go, oh no

She was a hot little hooker and I wonder where she goneHad a smile like summer and her legs were firm and longShe dressed to kill and she loved to rock n rollShe trashed my name and then she stole my soulShe said forever is what we’d be, but that ain’t what went downSo please won’t you have a friend in me and pour me another round

And play one more songSome old time rock n rollYeah play one more song

But don’t play nothing slowI don’t wanna hear them old sad songs cuz that’d just make me cryI just wanna drink and dance all night and let the music be my guide yeah

I’m gonna call the band up and head out on the roadCuz I got music deep inside my soulI’m gonna sing from the heart and try to spark some changeCuz good time music helps to ease the painAnd when the lights go down and the crowd gets loud, I’m gonna let her goAnd if it feels right, I’ll stay all night if you’re not ready to go, if no one’s ready to go

I’ll play one more song, some back beat blue-eyed soulI’ll play one more song, some Alabama Muscle ShoalsI’ll play one more song cuz I’m not ready to goI’ll play one more song and ease my troubled soulI don’t really care who’s wrong or right but I don’t wanna be alone tonight

So play one more songPlay one more songPlay one more songPlay one more songBaby now, one more songSing it now, one more songPlay one more song

JESUS AND BOCEPHUS(R.J. Ritchie/J. Orr)

Sometimes I’ve had too much to drinkGet all stoned and play some HankI guess that’s just the way I amAnd I love the man from Galilee, because he died for you and meI met them both in Dixie Land

Cuz I got Jesus and BocephusThey both help me to live my lifeI went from Jim Beam to my BibleWith Jesus and Bocephus right there by my side

When the water all turned into wine, I lost my mind for a timeI felt them both holding my handAnd lookin’ through these blood shot eyesPraise the Lord I saw the light

Two sets of footprints in the sand

Cuz I got Jesus and BocephusThey both help me to live my lifeI went from Jim Beam to my BibleWith Jesus and Bocephus right here by my sideI was cashin’ in, I was castin’ stonesI was lost in sin, I was on my ownNow I don’t feel alone

Cuz I got Jesus and BocephusThey both help me to live my lifeI went from Jim Beam to my BibleWith Jesus and Bocephus right here by my sideWith Jesus and Bocephus right here, right here until the day I dieWith Jesus and Bocephus

FOAD(R.J. Ritchie/E. Jurdi/G. Quist)

I heard that you been talking ’bout meWalkin’ round without a tear in your eye, eyes, eyesAiring out my dirty laundry while trying to suck my well bone dry, dry, dryYou ain’t nothing but complicatedEverything you preach is a lieEverything I try you hate itSo baby why don’t you just fuck off and die

I heard that you been speaking softlyTrying to toss my good name under the bus, bus, busCreeping ’round with everybodyHey baby whatever happened to trust, trust, trust

You ain’t nothing but complicatedEvery time you love it’s a lieYou got me so damn agitatedSo baby why don’t you just fuck off and dieFuck off and dieAll your lies and hatredFuck off and dieAll the good times wastedDie for the good yeah die for the bad

Die for the memories we’ll never haveC’est la vie adios fuck off and die

I’m giving you an ultimatumCuz I ain’t gonna watch you break him down, down, downYou told me you were trying to save himBut all you did was sit back and watch him drown, drown, drownThe truth is far from how you played itEverything you said was a lieAll this time I watched you fake itSo baby why don’t you just fuck off andYou ain’t nothing but complicatedYou put me down every time I tryYou’re so damn jealous I finally made itSo baby why don’t you just fuck off and dieSo baby now you can kiss my ass goodbyeYeah fuck off and die
