BLUE TEQUILA
(Hargrove, Olsen)

Darling, I'm so sorry that I hurt you
And I wish that I could make everything right somehow
And if I could, I would turn back the hands of time
Then maybe...maybe you would still love me now

But I like blue tequila in the morning
To forget those eyes of blue that I made cry
And I drink Jägermeister in a paper cup
To remind me of the day that you told me goodbye

Now each time I sit down at the table
I pretend to stare into your lonely eyes so blue
But the only blue I see is in my bottle
And I can't drink away my memories of you

I like blue tequila in the morning
To forget those eyes of blue that I made cry
And I drink Jägermeister in a paper cup
To remind me of the day that you told me goodbye

Blue Tequila

DON'T LET HER GO 
(Hargrove)

Yeah, you know we can't stay alone because even the light doesn't hide
But I'm finding it hard to carry the stone that will never let anyone inside 

I feel your light when it's growing cold when I look into your eyes 
Then I realize you're not coming home...

Lord, I ain't right...but I damn sure ain't wrong!
So help me get set before too long?
Talking for miles walking on stone 
Heaven, they said "Don't let her go"... 

You know, woman, when I'm all alone, I'm thinking about our final call
I'm finding it hard to get you to know, so we'll never find what made us fall

I think you were right when you sent them home, but did we have to end their lives?
That's when I realized that we're growing old

Lord, I ain't right...but I damn sure ain't wrong!
So help me get set before too long?
Talking for miles walking on stone 
Heaven, they said "Don't let her go"... 

Oh child, you can't let this one go

Don't Let Her Go

A MAN LIKE ME
(Hargrove, Olsen)

It was a safe bet when we met, we both would regret
Try to forget the midnight duet we played
The only thing I recall is lots of alcohol
We drank it all and we had a ball, but I wouldn't call it "love" we made

I couldn't love a woman that could love a man like me 
I couldn't love no woman that seeks out misery
Listen up, I'm not giving up! But I gotta let you down...
I can't love a woman that could love a man like me 

Well, I confess my life's a mess, it's anyone's guess 
Give it a rest, I'm not the only one to blame
Don't try to make me something I could never be 
Just turn around and walk away because I'm never gonna play that game

I couldn't love a woman that could love a man like me 
I couldn't love no woman that seeks out misery
Listen up, I'm not giving up! But I gotta let you down...
I can't love no woman that could love a man like me 

It might be a sin, but let's do it again! What we could have been...
If I'd have been straight up then I just might have let you know
Never mind. I'm not the kind to take life laying down
I'm not a man who's got a plan, so you know I've gotta let you go...

I couldn't love a woman that could love a man like me 
I couldn't love no woman that seeks out misery
Well, I can't tell the future, but I know how the end will read
I can't love no woman that could love a man like me

A Man Like Me

TAKING THE BLAME
(Hargrove)

Well, I know I couldn't take the blame
So the feeling inside you's still the same
I'm beaten alive almost every night
A million miles from shaking the shame

Oh, all my life I held everything
But now you're gone and it's not the same
Telling a lie ain't but a thing
Taking all your time and all that's free, yeah

Even when you're gone and steal the sunlight
The feelings all remain, so now I'm taking the blame
Feeling alright while I'm taking the blame
'Cause you done gone lied all the same

Now let's take the blame y'all!

Well, I know I can't drink the same 
'Cause things have all become insane
I've beaten the miles almost every time 
But thousands of miles have been breaking the chain

Oh, all my life I promised everything
But now you're gone and it's not the same
Taking a drink ain't but a thing
But taking all this time and all these days, yeah

Even when you're gone and steal the sunlight
The feelings all remain, so now I'm taking the blame
Feeling alright while I'm taking the blame
'Cause you done gone lied all the same

Thinking about long ago
And all the things we should have known
And every night, with every lie, we were hearing the signs 
All along

Taking The Blame

BETTER AT LOVING YOU
(Hargrove)

Well, I found out a little too late what you turned out to be
I've done as good for as long as I could, it took too long to see
Maybe I got too crazy with you? Maybe it was all a lie?
Can't you see you're the same as me...but you didn't even want to try 

Make it, take it
Just don't fake it and I'll put that bottle down 
Tell it, sell it just for the hell of it 
Let's pour another round!

I'm better at loving this bottle of mine than I was at loving you
I love you more than that bottle can pour, that's something that you never knew
I ask myself time and time again, "What's going through my head?" 
I'm good at loving that bottle of booze, but I better get better at loving you instead

Well I know this ain't over yet, maybe it was meant to be 
I don't need a chance, just get down and dance
It don't matter to me 

Make it, take it
Just don't fake it and I'll put that bottle down 
Tell it, sell it just for the hell of it 
Let's pour another round!

I'm better at loving this bottle of mine than I was at loving you
I love you more than that bottle can pour, that's something that you never knew
I ask myself time and time again, "What's going through my head?" 
I'm good at loving that bottle of booze, but I better get better at loving you instead

Better At Loving You

ANOTHER SONG
(Hargrove, Olsen)

This stretch of highway the same as the last
You can drive forever, but you can't outrun the past

I hoped that the miles would help me forget
But they're not helping me yet...

And another song about missing you comes on the radio
And all I can think about is kissing you

I just can't let it go

The two-lane blacktop with no end in sight...
If I can keep on driving, I should be alright

And just about the time I get my mind clear
You know what I hear, yeah

Another song about missing you comes on the radio
And all I can think about is kissing you

I just can't let it go

Because I need you and I love you
And I want you and I miss you 
Yes, I need you and I love you 
And I want you, Lord, I miss you, yeah 

And I'm trying to keep from driving 
But I can't see through the tears
I just can't let it go 
I can't let it go because I need you 

I reach down to turn off the radio 
Then I remember the radio in this old truck hasn't been working for years...

Another Song

LAST NIGHT (I SAID GOODBYE)
(Hargrove)

I was trying to make it last a little too long, I wish I would have known it was wrong
Because playing road games and laughing at nothing can't compare to the things we've found
So all of the broken promises that these rings just won't fit around 
Made us fade away, one day, and there's nothing left in this town 

So this is the last night I'm going to spend alone
I'm hitting the road in an old Ford, "Mama, I'm Coming Home" on the radio
This is the first place she's gonna run, and I don't want to be another one-and-done
That would be one hell of a ride...

It was the one time that she ever tried, but last night I said goodbye

I pull off to the side on the 65, let's get up and let's get going
There's just twenty miles until Nashville's in sight, I'm gonna take what I came to find
Just as I rolled on into town, there's a sweet thing, she's staring up and down
Before I could take another drink she says "Hey, hun! Do you wanna dance?"

She said "It's my birthday, and I'm going to let it all go!" 
She went hitting them low with her highball, "Bring me out another one, his money's at the table" 
That was the last time I'd ever turn the other cheek, we all know I'm just "the other one"
It was one hell of a night...

The first time that I ever tried was the last night I said goodbye 

But ya'll know it ain't for long

That was the first night I didn't spend alone 
But I'm hitting the road in my old Ford, and I'm going back home
This is the first place I'd return if I go back home and never learn
She was one hell of a ride...

The first time that I ever cried was the last night I said goodbye

Last Night (I Said Goodbye)

WHISKEY PASS
(Hargrove, Olsen)

It never hit me, no warning of things gone wrong
She'd grown tired of my drinking and staying out all night long
Though she said she'd leave, I still can't believe that she's gone...

Give me a drink to forget her
Along with a chaser to remember
Every time I ride on Whiskey Pass

I see your face at the bottom of the glass 

Each morning I'd wake up with red eyes and pounding head
Though she was talking, I never heard a word she said...
I should have been holding her, but I was holding my bottle instead 

Give me a drink to forget her
Along with a chaser to remember
Every time I ride on Whiskey Pass

I see your face at the bottom of the glass 

I've always loved her, and I still love her today
I had it all! And like a fool I let it slip away...
So I want to know "how long until her memory fades?"

Give me a drink to forget her
Along with a chaser to remember
Every time I ride on Whiskey Pass

I see your face at the bottom of the glass
