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 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 'em 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 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 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 'em what I lost

Oh, I got the tailgate blues



The crickets heard my story and I listened to 'em sing

I 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
