Tailgate Blues

I catch my buzz in the black of night,

Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows.

If I loose my cool in the open and 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 'em what I lost.

Oh, I've got the tailgate blues.

I ain't sure where it all began.

Somewhere out here, I know.

This bridge was a little more crowded,

Than I was playing a tailgate show.

Now, I'm just sitting here alone.

To catch my buzz in the black of night,

Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows.

If I loose my cool in the open and 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 'em what I lost.

Oh, I've got the tailgate blues.

Damn that AM 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 the warm wind blows.

If I loose my cool in the open and 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 'em what I lost.

Oh, I've got the tailgate blues.

The crickets heard my story.

And I listened to them sing.

Yes, I closed the tailgate up.

Ain't no telling what tomorrow might bring,

Maybe me and a dixie cup.

That won't be enough.

Yes, I catch my buzz in the black of night,

Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows.

If I loose my cool in the open and 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 'em what I lost.

Oh, I've got the tailgate blues.

I catch my buzz in the black of night,

Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows.

If I loose my cool in the open and shows,

That I'm down and I ain't alright
