Coffee and Weed
02:36

I've got coffee, got weed
Everything that I need
Who needs you?
I've got a new attitude
And a room with a view
Who needs you?
Anyone who ever fell
Has a tale to tell
Indeed, I do
Mine started with a kiss
And it ended like this
Who needs you?
You were over the rainbow
I never believed I'd get over you
Somehow I found a way
Anyone who ever fell
Has a tale to tell
Indeed, I do
I've got coffee, got weed
Everything that I need
Who needs you?
Who needs you

Time waits for no man
Neither does she
She could have any man she wants in Tennessee
She's been getting her own way since she was seventeen
Davidson county beauty queen
I drove up from Texas
In a dusty truck wearing my cowboy hat
I pointed her out to the man at the fillin' station
I said, "Mister, who is that?"
He said, "She's been getting her own way since she was seventeen
Davidson county beauty queen"
I parked my truck
She smiled at me
Isn't that just my luck, my first time in Tennessee
She's been getting her own way since she was seventeen
Davidson county beauty queen
I wondered what she wanted
She did not make me wait
She told me she liked my truck
Asked about my Texas plates
Time waits for no man
Neither does she
Before I introduced myself she had my keys
She's been getting her own way since she was seventeen
Davidson county beauty queen
She's been getting her own way since she was seventeen
Davidson county beauty queen
Davidson county beauty queen
It's 800 miles from the Cumberland River back to Barton Springs
800 miles from the Cumberland River back to Barton Springs
800 miles from the Cumberland River
800 miles from the Cumberland River
800 miles from the Cumberland River

Beginner's Luck
03:53

Summer day, learning a game with the man who gave my daddy his name across the board in a memory
I jumped him, he jumped me. Black and red. Crown a king. My first try was a victory.
He smiled and said, "Take it from me, it ain't always gonna be that easy. If you're thinkin' it will, better think again."
Just 'cause you win, doesn't mean losing ain't around the bend
And winning may not mean what you think it does
Chalk this up to beginner's luck
Summer day, different game. Asked my gal if she'd take my name. She said yes through her smilin' tears.
Told granddaddy how I'd won her love. Wondered if we'd make it when the times got tough. "How have you done it all these years?"
He smiled and said, "Take it from me, it ain't always gonna be that easy. If you're thinkin' it will, better think again."
When you begin you never know what's comin' around the bend
It doesn't always work like you think it does
There's times when you laugh, times when you fight
And son, if I'm hearing you right, you wanna know
How did I find someone I could always love
Chalk it up to beginner's luck

Superstar
03:25
|

She didn't like taking music in school
Teacher made 'er feel like a fool
Being forced to sing in chorus left a scar
She says she's a superstar when she's in her car
Says I love this one and turns it up
Anyone can see through her windows
She's got it bad and she can't get enough
Oh, she don't like to sing with the crowd hanging out at the bar
She loves singing alone in her car
We sometimes go for a ride
She sits quiet on the passenger side
You can bet she ain't gonna let down her guard
But she says she's a superstar when she's in her car
Says I love this one and turns it up
Anyone can see through her windows
She's got it bad and she can't get enough
Oh, she don't like to sing with the crowd hanging out at the bar
She loves singing alone in her car
She's a superstar
She knows all the words to her favorite songs
She's in the groove when she's on the move
With nothing to prove to no one
She says she's a superstar when she's in her car
Says I love this one and turns it up
Anyone can see through her windows
She's got it bad and she can't get enough
No, she don't like to sing with the crowd hanging out at the bar
Karaoke night is not in the cards
She says she's a superstar when she's in her car
Says I love this one and turns it up
Anyone can see through her windows
She's got it bad and she can't get enough
No, she don't like to sing with the crowd hanging out at the bar
She loves singing alone in her car
She's a superstar

Why I Oughta
03:32

Why I oughta drink more water
I ain't had near as much as I should
Bartender don't you think
You could put a little water in my drink
'Cause the whiskey makes the water taste so good
Last night, I got in at 4am
And tonight, I'll be going out again
I've been sleeping like a log
Waking up in a fog
I'm gonna take some good advice from a friend
She said I oughta drink more water
I ain't had near as much as I should
Bartender don't you think
You could put a little water in my drink
'Cause the whiskey makes the water taste so good
Here of late I've been blackin' out
Asked the doc, "What could that all be about?"
He told me I'm a fool
As he turned on his barstool
Spoke out of the corner of his mouth
He said I oughta drink more water
I ain't had near as much as I should
Bartender don't you think
You could put a little water in my drink
'Cause the whiskey makes the water taste so good
Now the moral of the story is I need help
'Cause down at the bar I'm not allowed to help myself
I've got a thirst I need to quench, y'all
And hydration is essential
Fill my glass, let's raise a toast to my health
Yeah, I oughta drink more water
I ain't had near as much as I should
Bartender don't you think
You could put a little water in my drink
'Cause the whiskey makes the water taste so good

The Over in Lover
02:55
|

You really had me under your spell
You put the over in lover
We had an attraction till you took away the action
You put the over in lover
I was so blinded by your charm
I couldn't see the harm
You were my number one, now who's the number one
You put the over in lover
You put the go in gone, you are the going one
Who put the over in lover
You had me on a string, but hey, you didn't want that ring
You put the over in lover
When I saw yes in your eyes
How could I know just how you'd cut me down to sighs
You were my one and only, now I'm alone and lonely
You put the over in lover
You put the over in lover

The Distance
03:24
|

I'm looking back from a distance
We never had a chance
You won't see me out tonight lookin' for a new romance
I'm trying to get some distance
Love is a long and rocky road
I've traveled on it long enough to know
Now I'm on the road back to happiness
And I'm gonna go the distance
Oh, the pain of loving you
All the changes I've been through
You won't see me out tonight looking for a new romance
I'm trying to get some distance
I'm living for the day your memory goes away
When they lay me down here's what my gravestone oughta say...
I'm looking back from a distance
We never had a chance
You won't see me out tonight lookin' for a new romance
I'm trying to get some distance
I'm looking back from a distance
