Tailgate Blues

I catch my buzz in the black of night
Where nobody ever goes and a warm wind blows
If I lose my cool in the open then 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 want to know then I tell 'em what I lost
Oh I got the tailgate blues
I ain't sure where it all began
Somewhere around here I know
This bridge was a little more crowded then
I was playing her tailgate show
Now I'm just sitting here alone
I catch my buzz in the black of night
Where nobody ever goes and a warm wind blows
If I lose my cool in the open then 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 want to know then I tell 'em what I lost
Oh I got the tailgate blues
Damn that A.M. radio
For playing more than a song
My heart won't beat if the strings are broke
The melody's hitting 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 lose my cool in the open then 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 want to know then I tell 'em what I lost
Oh I got the tailgate blues
The crickets heard my story
And I listened to them sing
I guess I'll close the tailgate up
Ain't no telling what tomorrow might bring
Maybe me and a Dixie cup
But that won't be enough
I catch my buzz in the black of night
Where nobody ever goes and a warm wind blows
If I lose my cool in the open then 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 want to know then I tell 'em 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 lose my cool in the open then it shows
That I'm down and I ain't alright
