Tailgate Blues

I catch my buzz in the black of night

Where nobody ever goes and a warm wind blows

If I loose my cool in the open and it shows

That I'm down and I ain't alright

I search my soul where there is no moon

The trees all cross and are covered in moss

If the crickets wanna know then I'll tell them what I lost

Oh, I got the tailgate blues

I ain't sure were it all began

Somewhere 'round here I know

This bridge was a little more crowded then

I was playing her a tailgate show

And now I'm just sittin' here alone

To catch my buzz in the black of night

Where nobody ever goes and a warm wind blows

If I loose my cool in the open and it shows

That I'm down and I ain't alright

I search my soul where there is no moon

The trees all cross and are covered in moss

If the crickets wanna know then I'll tell them what I lost

Oh, I've got the tailgate blues

Damn that A.M. radio

For playing more than a song

My heart won't beat if the strings are broke

The melody's hittin' me wrong

Right here where she belongs

I catch my buzz in the black of night

Where nobody ever goes and a warm wind blows

If I loose my cool in the open and it shows

That I'm down and I ain't alright

I search my soul where there is no moon

The trees all cross and are covered in moss

If the crickets wanna know then I'll tell them what I lost

Oh, I got the tailgate blues

The crickets heard my story and I listened to them 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

Yes, I catch my buzz in the black of night

Where nobody ever goes and a warm wind blows

If I loose my cool in the open and it shows

That I'm down and I ain't alright

I search my soul where there is no moon

The trees all cross and are 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 a warm wind blows

If I loose my cool in the open and it shows

That I'm down and I ain't alright
