Drink Around

I got a mullet like a possum tail,
Boots so loud they leave a diesel trail.
I sing ‘bout trucks, dogs, beer, and pain,
But dang ol’ radio won’t play my name!

I mailed my demo on a scratchy CD,
With a six-pack coupon and a selfie of me.
I’m better than Garth, Tim, and ol’ George Strait—
But that radio man won’t let me be great!

Play me, Jacob, I’m a honky-tonk flame
Hotter than a grill at a tailgate game!

I done tattooed “Nashville” on my chest,
Right under where my mama says, “God bless.”
I rhymed “beer” with “deer” and “heartache stew,”
That’s classic country—shoot, who knew?

I parked outside that station for a week,
Played ‘Freebird’ naked with a chew between me teeth.
But radio guys just stared through the blinds so cold,
Like my platinum dreams weren’t solid gold!

Play me, Jacob, I’m a honky-tonk flame
Hotter than a grill at a tailgate game!

So if you hear this, Jacob, you radio clown,
Know there’s a star in this town wearin’ the future  country crown!

Radio Star

Angels Are Real   
(Marvin Shelton-ASCAP)


Verse 1
Just past the midnight hour
I'm saying a prayer under the water tower
Out on the edge of town
I know your daddy's probably sitting on the front porch with the light on
But I don't wanna take you home
Just let me look at you
You're just too good to be true

Chorus
Girl I wanna know more of you
I don't wanna let go of you
Who knew heaven was at the end of Main Street
I just to the left when I got to the old oak tree
you're sitting next to me, holding my hand in my '89 Chevy
Moonlight glowing on you through the windshield
You're the answer to my prayers, angels are real

Verse 2
I never thought that I could have a spiritual awakening
But girl that's where you're taking me, oh
Just let me look at you
You're just too good to be true

Chorus
Girl I wanna know more of you
I don't wanna let go of you
Who knew heaven was at the end of Main Street
I just to the left when I got to the old oak tree
you're sitting next to me, holding my hand in my '89 Chevy
Moonlight glowing on you through the windshield
You're the answer to my prayers, angels are real

Bridge
Amen girl, hallelujah
Amen girl, hallelujah
Amen

Chorus
I think I want no more of you
And I ain't ever letting go of you
I found heaven at the end of Main Street
I just took a left when I got to the old oak tree
And you're sitting next to me, holding my hand in my '89 Chevy
Falling in love out by the hayfield
And I can't hide how I feel
Moonlight glowing on you through the windshield
You're the answer to my prayers, angels are real
