Blackberry Smoke - Pretty Little Lie

 
Come over here and sit by me
Tell me everything I wanna hear
I'll pretend that I don't see
The reason you're back over here

You look cold I'll build a fire
There's a box full o' wine in the fridge
We won't talk about what's his name
That's just water under the bridge

Yeah, you made up your mind
But he ain't here with us tonight
So kiss me one more time
Cross every "T" and dot every "I"
Of your pretty little lie
That pretty little lie

I thought we had it all figured out
There was me and there was you and him
I was hoping for a chance to cuss you out
But then you came walkin' in
And it hit me like I ain't been hit before
I guess some of us never change
Now it's you and me sitting on the floor
I'd let you get away with anything

Yeah, you made up your mind
But he ain't here with us tonight
So kiss me one more time
Cross every "T" and dot every "I"
Of that pretty little lie
That pretty little lie
That pretty little lie
That pretty little lie

Yeah, you made up your mind
But he ain't here with us tonight
So kiss me one more time
Cross every "T" and dot every "I"
Of that pretty little lie
That pretty little lie
Your pretty little lie
That pretty little lie

Yeah you a damn liar
Yeah you a damn liar
Baby you a damn liar
Yeah you a damn liar

Blackberry Smoke - Whatcha Know Good

 
Come on down if you get the chance
Stay awhile roll up your pants
You don't have to know how to dance
Just follow your heart and your soul

I don't lean one way or the other
I love all of my sisters and brothers
You can read me cover to cover
But all that you need to know

'Cause I don't worry
Don't get in a hurry
Ain't no reason to fight
If the fish don't bite
Don't bring me no bad news
The only thing that I ask of you
One time if ya could
Whatcha know good

Sometimes life it strikes me funny
I catch all of my flies with honey
I don't stand on a pile of money
To make myself higher than you

I give thanks for the sun and the rain
Hitch my wagon to the gravy train
If this old world goes up in flames
The river's gonna flow on through

I don't worry
Don't get in a hurry
Ain't no reason to fight
If the fish don't bite
Don't bring me no bad news
The only thing that I ask of you
One time if ya could
Whatcha know good

You're wastin' your time trying to make up my mind
When I know just what is right to me
So if you don't mind I politely decline
Your invitation to this negativity

I don't worry
Don't get in a hurry
Ain't no reason to fight
If the fish don't bite
Don't bring me no bad news
The only thing that I ask of you
One time if ya could
Whatcha know good

Blackberry Smoke - One Horse Town

 
In the tiny town where I come from
You grew up doing what your daddy done
And you don't ask questions you do it just because
You don't climb too high or dream too much
With a whole lot of work and a little bit of luck
You can wind up right back where your daddy was

This little bitty town it ain't nothing new
We all stick around 'cause they all tell us to
Swallow your pride just to make your family proud
If I didn't think that it would shut the whole place down
I'd ride my pony right out of this one horse town

Yeah this one horse town
I'm an old married man at the age of 23
Got 2 little boys on the baseball team
And that might be their only ticket out
All they got is a worn out name
And a Daddy that could've gone all the way
But I hang my saddle up and I settled down

This little bitty town it ain't nothing new
We all stick around 'cause they all tell us to
Swallow your pride just to make your family proud
If I didn't think that it would shut the whole place down
I'd ride my pony right out of this one horse town
Yeah this one horse town
Oh yeah

This little bitty town oh yeah it ain't nothing new
We all stick around 'cause they all tell us too
Swallow your pride just to keep your family proud
If I didn't think that it would shut the whole thing down
I'd saddle that one horse and ride it right out of this town

Blackberry Smoke - Shakin' Hands With The Holy Ghost

 
Split the night wide open
I ain't got nowhere to go
Yeah my baby's howlin' at me
Yeah she's tearin' up the floor

We got the Tennessee champagne
Feelin' moonshine fine
Yeah my Johnson City baby
Yeah she helps me draw the line

As the crow flies baby
Gonna get me up on time
Gonna light me up
Yeah like the 4th of July

Everybody knows
Baby take it slow
Feel just like I'm singin with the heavenly host
Everybody says
Everybody knows
Just like shakin' hands with the Holy Ghost

She got the stuff that I need
Keeps me comin' back for more
I ain't ever gonna break away
Got a hook in me for sure

As the crow flies baby
Gonna get me up on time
Gonna light me up
Yeah like the 4th of July

Everybody knows
Baby take it slow
Feel just like I'm singin with the heavenly host
Everybody says
Everybody knows
Just like shakin' hands with the Holy Ghost
Alright, mhmmm yeah

Everybody knows
Baby take it slow
Feel just like I'm singin with the heavenly host
Everybody says
Everybody knows
Just like shakin' hands with the Holy Ghost

Everybody knows
Baby take it slow
Feel just like I'm singin with the heavenly host
Everybody says
