The Look In Your Eyes

Wild Turkeys © Byron Gene Manering

[VERSE]
Fell head over heels for you, but
I’m downing Turkeys and thinkin
You took me for a fool
And it’s just now sinkin in 

[CHORUS]
Runnin with Wild Turkeys
Gettin me in trouble.
Should have learned my lesson
‘stead of drinking doubles
Until I’m seein’ two
One’s the other side of you 
Running with Wild Turkeys 
Like a double-trouble flooz

[VERSE]
Gaslight me all day and night.
Hell what did I get into
Called me a two-timer
Your a narcissist, aren’t you

[CHORUS]
Runnin with Wild Turkeys
Gettin me in trouble.
Should have learned my lesson
‘stead of drinking doubles
Until I’m seein’ two
One’s the other side of you 
Running with Wild Turkeys 
Like a double-trouble flooz

[BRIDGE]
You went berserk when I
Posted on the net
About the lie you told 
Are you embarrassed yet?

[CHORUS]
Runnin with Wild Turkeys
Gettin me in trouble.
Should have learned my lesson
‘stead of drinking doubles
Until I’m seein’ two
One’s the other side of you 
Running with Wild Turkeys 
Like a double-trouble flooz

[Verse 1]
He smelled like old leather and sawdust and time
Wore flannel like armor and boots full of pride
With a voice like gravel and hands that could heal
He taught me what’s true and he showed me what’s real

[Pre-Chorus]
When the world felt too big, and I felt too small
He’d lift me up, like I’d never fall

[Chorus]
In my grandfather’s arms, the world made sense
I was safe in a storm, behind his defense
He didn’t say much, but his silence was kind
And I found more love than words could define
Now he’s gone, but somehow I’m calm
‘Cause I still feel home in my grandfather’s arms

[Verse 2]
He’d sit on the porch with his coffee and chair
Tell stories so simple, but they hung in the air
He didn’t chase money, never needed the fame
Said, “A good life is built on your word and your name”

[Pre-Chorus]
He’d hand me his coat when the cold settled in
And I swear, just like that, I’d feel whole again

[Chorus]
In my grandfather’s arms, the fear disappeared
Like the world slowed down when he pulled me near
He’d hum some old tune from a time long gone
But the feeling it gave me still lingers on
He’s a whisper now, not flesh and bone
But I still stand tall from my grandfather’s arms

[Bridge]
I carry his watch, and I wear his name
I’ve got his fire, running through my veins
And when I’m tired, or when life feels too hard
I remember the strength in his steady heart

[Chorus]
In my grandfather’s arms, I first learned to believe
In the quiet kind of love that never leaves
And when I hold my child and they look up at me
I hope they feel what he gave to me
He’s with me still, in soul and in calm
Yeah, I still live in my grandfather’s arms

[Outro]
He may be gone, but I know this much is true
His arms still guide me in all that I do
In my grandfather's arms

Drinking For Three (Marvin Shelton)

[VERSE]
We used to park down by the shore, in the tall grass
Your feet up on the dashboard, footprints on the glass
Those memories take hold, and never let me go!

[CHORUS]
I ain't stopping at one, I need more than two
It's the only way, I won't think about you
A six pack or more, sitting at the lake
Hell, I might need a keg, as much as it's gonna take
This is for my truck, my dog and me. 
Yeah, I'm drinking for three

[VERSE]
You always were the first person, that he'd run to
The second that you walked in, he was all over you
He won't chase a ball no more, or even get off the porch!

[CHORUS]
I ain't stopping at one, I need more than two
It's the only way, I won't think about you
A six pack or more, sitting at the lake
Hell, I might need a keg, as much as it's gonna take
This is for my truck, my dog and me. 
Yeah, I'm drinking for three

[BRIDGE]
I don't even want to cast a line
I guess you've out fished me...,
for the last time!

[Instrumental]

[CHORUS 2]
I didn't stop at one, not even two
By the way, I'm still thinking 'bout you
A six pack or more, sitting at the lake
Hell, I might need a keg, as much as it's gonna take 
This is for my truck, my dog and me. 
Yeah, I'm drinking for three
Ever since the day you up and left me,... I've been drinking for three

Hidin Behind This Microphone (Acoustic feat. Cody Johnson)

In the summer there's nothin better than #DaisyDukes & #DirtRoads

LYRICS:
She walks like the South never lost a war
Boots on the dash, slammin’ my Ford
Smile like sin, hips like a fight
She’s trouble dipped in neon light

Country mix on her cracked screen
And Lord, she knows what she’s doin’ to me

Daisy dukes and dirt roads, midnight air
Moonshine lips, long blonde hair
We’re lost somewhere between love and wild
Kickin’ up dust and feelin’ that high
Ain’t nothin’ better, everybody knows
It’s girls in daisy dukes and dirt roads

Layin' on the hood while the crickets sing
Paint-stained tank and a cheap mood ring
She don’t need much, just the stars and me
And a speaker buzzin’ in G key

A little Skynyrd, a little sweat
It don’t get more real than this, I bet

Daisy dukes and dirt roads, midnight air
Moonshine lips, long blonde hair
We’re lost somewhere between love and wild
Kickin’ up dust and feelin’ that high
Ain’t nothin’ better, everybody knows
It’s girls in daisy dukes and dirt roads

She’s the reason I ain't ever left
That southern drawl and summer breath

Daisy dukes and dirt roads, midnight air
Moonshine lips, long blonde hair
We’re lost somewhere between love and wild
Kickin’ up dust and feelin’ that high
Ain’t nothin’ better, everybody knows
It’s girls in daisy dukes and dirt roads

Daisy dukes and dirt roads, midnight air
Moonshine lips, long blonde hair
We’re lost somewhere between love and wild
Kickin’ up dust and feelin’ that high
Ain’t nothin’ better, everybody knows
It’s girls in daisy dukes and dirt roads

Girlfriend’s Got A Boyfriend

When Americans Don’t (Marvin Shelton)

[V1]
I remember a time
when it was easy to tell
who were the good guys
the bad ones as well

Now, things have changed
don't need to look overseas
Good neighbors became
the worst enemies

[CHORUS]
I don't wanna be left
I ain't always right
I'm somewhere in the middle
Of this dog fight
I can't see the difference in any comparisons
We are all the same
When Americans, don't trust Americans

[V2]
TV station says "this"
and the other says "that"
Oh, the reality is
Neither one has the facts!

[CHORUS]
I don't wanna be left
I ain't always right
I'm somewhere in the middle
Of this dog fight
I can't see the difference in any comparisons
We are all the same
When Americans, don't trust Americans!!

[Instrumental]

[BRIDGE]
I still believe there is a chance
for our country, to be the promised land!

[CHORUS]
I don't wanna be left
I ain't always right
I'm somewhere in the middle
Of an ol’ dog fight
I can't see the difference in any comparisons
We are all the same
When Americans, don't trust Americans 
Yeah, we are all the same!! ...Act like Americans!!!!
