Lyrics: 
Might get side swiped
Might get way laid
I've been known to cash some checks
Above my paygrade
I’ve been busted by some broncos
That i never should have battled
Picked my dick up out the dust
And got right back up in the saddle 
 
My daddy’s daddy’s grandpaw’s daddy
Passed it down to me
I’m a neck red born and corn bread fed  hard headed sob yeah that's me still hangin tough enough for another round When it comes to never givin up i got it down  
 
Sometimes we argue
Sometimes we fight girl
Maybe that’s why we get along
‘Cause we’re both right girl
Guess it takes ones to know one
And that’s how i recognize it
Ya put that sweet thing in my mustang
And you weren’t afraid to ride it 
 
Your momma’s momma’s grandma’s momma
Passed it down to you
That bible thumpin chicken dumplin’
Cowgirl attitude
Yeah that’s you
Still hangin tough enough for another round when it comes to never givin up u got it down

Lyrics:
No regrets, yeah I wish that I could say that, but I can’t
I wish that I could let go of the past
It don’t take much, to remind me of the things I can’t undo
And the feeling I can’t shake of missing you

Guess everybody has somebody 
That could have been that one and only once,
In a lifetime love
Yeah everybody has somebody 
That’s more than just a memory, it’s a dream, 
You can’t wake up from
A reason to keep reaching back in time
You’re mine

Never fails, every time I hear that love song there you are 
It somehow finds the bottom of my heart
Guess it’s true, some things you don’t get over mine is you
And though I try there’s nothing I can do 

Guess everybody has somebody 
That could have been that one and only once,
In a lifetime love
Yeah everybody has somebody 
That’s more than just a memory, it’s a dream,
You can’t wake up from
A reason to keep reaching back in time
You’re mine

I guess everybody has somebody 
That could have been that one and only once,
In a lifetime love
Yeah everybody has somebody
That’s more than just a memory, it’s a dream, 
You can’t wake up from
A reason to keep reaching back in time, 
You’re mine
You’re mine

Lyrics:
I took it down to Panama city
Shot it with some salt and lime
Flew it out to Colorado
Tried to get it Rocky Mountain high
Thought i lost it down in Austin
But it followed me back home
But you looking at a man with a brand new plan
Girl I gotta get you gone

I'm taking your memory to Memphis
That's what I'm gonna do
Get a little butter on my biscuit
Dip it in BBQ
Wash my soul in the Mississippi
Baptize it in the blues
I'm taking your memory to Memphis
Gonna get me over you

Gonna get me over you
Get me get me, get me over you...

I’m gonna drag it down to Bealle street
Find some healing in a hurting song
Sip that top shelf Tennessee whiskey
Talking BB Lucille strong 
Catch a ride on over to Graceland
Tell my troubles to the king
Get all dressed up Sunday morning
And go get right with Rev. Green
Let him set me free

I'm taking your memory to Memphis
That's what I'm gonna do
Get a little butter on my biscuit
Gonna dip it in BBQ
Wash my soul in the Mississippi
Baptize it in the blues
I'm taking your memory to Memphis
I’m gonna get me over you

Gonna get me over you
Get me get me, get me over you...

I been trying to shake you
Since the day you said goodbye
There's only place left to go to get you off my mind

I'm taking your memory to Memphis
That's what I'm gonna do
Get a little butter on my biscuit
Gonna dip it in BBQ
Wash my soul in the Mississippi
Baptize it in the blues
I'm taking your memory to Memphis
I’m gonna get me over you

I'm taking your memory to Memphis
I’m gonna get me over you

Gonna get me over you
Get me over you

Lyrics:
He was sitting at the bar down at Sloppy Joe's
In a deadhead shirt, a little dust from the road
While the day came undone and that Key West sun 
Just disappeared
Had that what's up man 4:20 kinda charm
Little gray in his long hair, old ink on his arm
He looked strapped for cash and he didn't ask
But I bought him a beer
 
We talked about fishing, we talked about girls
And I sat there and listened while he went around the world
With his thumb in the air and it stuck in my head
When he took a long sip, looked at me and said
I don't need a big house
I don't need a fast car
Just a few good friends, cold beer in a bar
He closed his eyes and smiled kinda trippy
Said hey man even Jesus was a hippie
 
We kept popping them tops, stacking them cans
He said some people make fun of what they don't understand
And I felt born-again with my soul washed clean
While the neon buzzed down on Duvall Street and
 
We talked about fishing, we talked about girls
And I sat there and listened while he went around the world
With his thumb in the air and it stuck in my head
When he took a long sip, looked at me and said
I don't need a big house
I don't need a fast car
Just a few good friends, cold beer in a bar
He closed his eyes and smiled kinda trippy
Said hey man even Jesus was a hippie
 
Yes he really way
 
We were living in the moment, every worry was small
We lost track of that High Life clock on the wall
 
We talked about fishing, we talked about girls
And I sat there and listened while he went around the world
With his thumb in the air and it stuck in my head
When he took a long sip, looked at me and said
I don't need a big house
I don't need a fast car
Just a few good friends, cold beer in a bar
He closed his eyes and smiled kinda trippy
Said hey man even Jesus was a hippie
 
Even Jesus was a hippie

Lyrics:
Uh, judge
Due to the fact that you sent my court-appointed attorney to rehab, I’ll be representing myself
This is my opening statement

Everybody said that Wilbert Haynes went crazy
After Thelma Lou walked out
First he went outside and pulled up all her daisies
Then he burned that whole house down
According to the Pike County press, he just lit up a cigarette
About the time he found her goodbye note
It's a good thing I don't smoke

When Junior Fowler caught his third wife cheating
He went and bought a box of wine
You know, the good kind
Then he waved his way to town and got a haircut
And put on his suit and tie
Then he pulled into the Ready Mix
Had 'em fill his truck bed with cement
Drove it off in Newton's Pond and let her sink
It's a good thing I don't drink

It's a good thing I wasn't drunk
When I hitched her trailer to my truck
And took them two fornicaters for a ride
And Lord knows I hadn't had a drop
When I parked them at the church of God
Blowed the horn and drug their naked butts outside
Yeah, it caused quite the Sunday morning stink
But it could've been a whole lot worse now, don't you think?
It's a good thing I don't drink
(It's a good thing he don't drink)

Uh, I'll close with this

Now if I've been intoxicated, I deserve to be incarcerated
But, Judge, I swear I'll not do this again
I know they're both swolled-up and red
But that beehive I tossed in her bed
Was just a harmless joke between three friends
Yes, Judge, I painted his blue Dually pink
But it could've been a whole lot worse now, don't you think?
It's a good thing I don't drink
We oughta count our blessings, don't you think?
It's a good thing I don't drink
(It's a good thing he don't drink)
It's a good thing I don't drink
(It's a good thing he don't drink)

It could've been a lot worse, really, you know it could've been

Lyrics:
She was a hopeless romantic with a dirty mouth
But how i loved the way her tongue would curl her words so south
And she loved tracing the faded wings on the hood of that old
Jet-black, pontiac firebird
She had a couple years on me, didn't know that i was only
Eighteen and green, never tasted anything she’s about to pour on me
She leaned in close with that bottle, took a sip
And dripped out these words
 
Honey child,
I’m gonna love you old school, rock and roll style
I’m gonna lay this kiss here on ya whiskey wild 
And make it taste just like honey, child
 
Sometimes her whisper fades in low
When that summer one-hit-wonder finds its way into my fm radio
Still comes in clear, buzzin' in my ears, after all these years
Such a sweet, sweet sound

Honey child,
I'm gonna love you old school, rock and roll style
I'm gonna lay this kiss here on ya whiskey wild 
And make it taste just like honey, child
 
I couldn't keep my hands off of her

Still hangin' onto every single word

She said
Honey child,
I’m gonna love you old school, rock and roll style
I’m gonna lay this kiss here on ya whiskey wild 

Honey child,
I’m gonna love you old school, rock and roll style
I’m gonna lay this kiss here on ya whiskey wild 
And make it taste just like honey, child

I’m gonna lay this kiss here on ya whiskey wild 
Make it taste just like honey, child

Honey child

She called me honey child
She called me honey child

She called me honey child

Lyrics: 
It’d be neon lights, shining every night 
Off a whiskey glass, in some old dive
Be a couple quarters deep in a jukebox,
Full of sad songs, playin all night
Just to pull me through
That’d be all i could do
 
If i had to live without you
I don’t think my heart could make it through
I’d take this life that was meant for you
And live it lonely
Anybody else would be a waste of my time
Cause when god made you, he had me in mind
If i lost my one and only
I’d take this life and live it lonely

I’d be lost in the middle of nowhere
Tryina find my way, back to livin
Like a man on the moon who can still see his whole world turn
But he ain’t in it
That’s where i’d be
Cause your the best part of me
 
If i had to live without you
I don’t think my heart could make it through
I’d take this life that was meant for you
And live it lonely
Anybody else would be a waste of my time
Cause when god made you he had me in mind
If i lost my one and only
I’d take this life and live it lonely

Live it lonely
 
I’d be last call lights every night
I’d be one more round every time
I’d be goin through the motions
Just to get me by
 
If i had to live without you
Don’t think my heart could make it through
I’d take this life that was meant for you
And live it lonely
Anybody else would be a waste of my time
Cause when god made you, he had me in mind
If I lost my one and only
I’d take this life and live it lonely

Live it lonely

Live it lonely

Live It Lonely

Lyrics: 
Took a lotta beers I drank
Took a little drunk on jack
Took some poncho and lefty
Man in the mirror 
and some Back in Black

Took a lotta getting highs and getting lost
Before I got found
Took a lotta you holding on to me 
To get where I am now

But I think the worlds finally spinning my way
Sleeping pretty good at the end of the day
Got a little cash in bank, Gas in the tank
A little don’t care what they think
And I ain't skipping like a needle on vinyl 
Since your rescue me revival
Got my heart on my sleeve
Nothing to hide, Nothing to prove
Finding my groove

Takes a little time some times
Takes a lotta growing up
Takes a little road less traveled 
Some keep on going 
When the going gets tough
Took some give and some take
Some bends but don’t breaks
To make it this far
Took a lot of loving this man for who I am
From a selfless heart 

But I think the worlds finally spinning my way
Sleeping pretty good at the end of the day
Got a little cash in bank, Gas in the tank
A little don’t care what they think
And I ain't skipping like a needle on vinyl 
Since your rescue me revival
Got my heart on my sleeve
Nothing to hide, Nothing to prove
Finding my groove

I ain’t skipping like a needle on vinyl
Since your rescue me revival 
Got my heart on my sleeve
Nothing to hide, Nothing to prove
Finding my groove

Finding my groove

Finding my groove

Finding My Groove

Lyrics:
Got a name you never heard
That probably ends in a ville or a berg
Or somebody’s funny last name
That came here on a wagon train  
 
Got a football field and some bleachers
Jersey of a guy who played for the Steelers
Back in ‘76
He came back and opened up that Chevy truck dealership
Come and see ole Buck for a truck
He’ll hook you up
 
In between the “welcome to” and the “y’all come back”
A nowhere somewhere on the map
We hit the job for the work 
Hit the bar for the flirt 
Hit the pew for the church 
When we die hit the dirt 
That’s the way it is and how it’s gonna be
If I disappear back here here one day you’ll find me
On my Adirondack        
‘Tween the “welcome to” and the “yall come back”
 
It’s got a mainstreet strip mall karate   
And a whole lotta them hometown hotties
Whose claim to fame is a painted over name 
On a water tank yeh
I aint admitting I did one
But if I did that’s the way we have fun     
 
In between the “welcome to” and the “y’all come back”
A nowhere somewhere on the map
We hit the job for the work 
Hit the bar for the flirt 
Hit the pew for the church 
When we die hit the dirt 
That’s the way it is and how it’s gonna be
If I disappear back here here one day you’ll find me
On my Adirondack        
‘Tween the “welcome to” and the “yall come back”
 
Yeah some folks thinking we’re backwards
Kicking them cow turds
Can’t pronounciate them hard to pronounce words
But they ain’t never got their swerve on a country girl curve
If they did they’d be out here drinking them a cold beer
With their name on their shirt
            
In between the “welcome to” and the “y’all come back”
A nowhere somewhere on the map
We hit the job for the work 
Hit the bar for the flirt 
Hit the pew for the church 
When we die hit the dirt 
That’s the way it is and how it’s gonna be
If I disappear back here here one day you’ll find me
With a cold six pack
‘Tween the “welcome to” and the “yall come back”
Yeah ‘Tween the “welcome to” and the “yall come back”

You’ll find me driving my cowboy Cadillac that’s right yeah

Between the “welcome to” and the “yall come back”
Y’all come on back now ya hear

Low Note

Listen to ‘The Way I Wanna Go:’ http://tadkins.co/TWIWG

Lyrics:
When the boss won’t cut you know slack
And you know that he don’t know jack
With a smile on your face lean in and say
Take this job and shove it

When you red light rocking in your truck 
You got “Hillbilly Bone” turned up
Some loud mouth yells out turn that down
Just crank it let him know you’re proud of it

Sometimes you gotta let a middle finger fly
Tell em they can stick it where the sun don’t shine
Some folks they just won’t let you take a high road 
Sometimes you gotta get down on their level
Tell em right where they can go
And leave em on a low note

Might say some words that the preacher don’t like
Ain’t saying that I’m always right
With the lord as my witness if you up in my bidness
I’ll tell you right where you can kiss it

Sometimes you gotta let a middle finger fly
Tell em they can stick it where the sun don’t shine
Some folks they just won’t let you take a high road 
Sometimes you gotta get down on their level
Tell em right where they can go
And leave em on a low note

Ever get to where you just don’t care
Raise ‘em up if you ever been there 

Sometimes you gotta let a middle finger fly
Tell em they can stick it where the sun don’t shine
Some folks they just won’t let you take the high road 

Sometimes you gotta let a middle finger fly
Tell em they can stick it where the sun don’t shine
Some folks they just won’t let you take the high road 
Sometimes you gotta get down on their level
Tell em right where they can go
And leave em on a low note

Yeah leave em on a low note
