"If only Texas was next to Tennessee"

[Verse] The day you were born, I swore to keep you safe, Through storms and all the heartaches, and every little scrape. Now you're in that white dress, walking down the aisle, In the arms of another man, but I still see your smile. [Verse 2] From scraped knees and bedtime tales, to late-night tears and fears, You grew up right before my eyes, through all those precious years. Today I'm standing back, watching a beautiful bride, Part of me still finds it hard to let go of your hand tonight. [Chorus] But here's to your love, may it always find the light, May you laugh until the morning and dance into the night. Though I'm known to be tough, my heart is soft inside, I'll always be your hero, and you'll always be my pride. [Verse 3] Remember when we fixed that swing out by the old oak tree, You used to fly so high, like you were wild and free. I gave you wings to soar, and now you’re ready to take flight, Just promise you'll remember, I'm always here to guide. [Chorus] So here's to your love, may it always find the light, May you laugh until the morning and dance into the night. Though I'm known to be tough, my heart is soft inside, I'll always be your hero, and you'll always be my pride. [Bridge] This ring you wear, it shines so bright, a circle with no end, Just like the love between us, my daughter and my friend. Be strong, be brave, but never be afraid, To lean on me whenever, when skies are dark or gray.

[Verse] Tessa walked outside in the morning light, Her dog named Reddington gave her quite a fright. He sniffed her butt, oh what a sight, She laughed so hard, it felt just right. [Verse 2] Inside the house, her cat Louise, Sneezed on her husband, brought him to his knees. He freaked out, said, "Oh please!" Tessa couldn't help but be amused by these. [Chorus] Life in our small town sure is wild, With dogs sniffin' butts and cats gone riled. But Tessa knows how to keep it light, By playing Fortnite every night. [Verse 3] She grabs her controller, sits on the couch, Shoots some baddies, hits 'em in the pouch. Tessa's found her way to unwind, In a world of Fortnite, she don't mind. [Verse 4] Her husband says, "That's so absurd," But Tessa just laughs, don't say a word. She battles on till the morning's near, In that virtual world, she has no fear. [Chorus] Life in our small town sure is wild, With dogs sniffin' butts and cats gone riled. But Tessa knows how to keep it light, By playing Fortnite every night.

[Verse] Well, Justin's out in the workshop, weldin' bright and true, Golden sparks a-flyin', and he don't have a clue. That little kitten Louise, she wandered right on in, Her tiny nose a-twitchin', with a mischief-laden grin. [Chorus] Louise the sneezin' kitten, landed right on Justin's cheek, A little tickle from her whiskers, and it wasn't just a peek. A sneeze so stringy, mighty long, it hung there like a rope, Justin wiped it off his face, just prayin' he could cope. [Verse 2] He ran inside that farmhouse, hoping for a drink, Reached into the freezer, but it made his heart just sink. No ice for his bourbon, just an empty space of gloom, Louise had swiped the cubes for her playtime in the room. [Chorus] Louise the sneezin' kitten, landed right on Justin's cheek, A little tickle from her whiskers, and it wasn't just a peek. A sneeze so stringy, mighty long, it hung there like a rope, Justin wiped it off his face, just prayin' he could cope. [Bridge] Now Justin's learned a lesson, keep your workbench clean, And always check the freezer, for that frozen, crystal sheen. But if Louise comes near you, just be ready for her charm, You can handle sneezes, but prepare for kitten farm. [Verse 3] These days, he's back to weldin', that kitten by his side, A duo now united, with nowhere left to hide. Louise still sneezes daily, but now Justin's come prepared, With tissues in his pocket, for those moments when she's snared.

[Verse] Justin's been welding on the old pipeline, Six weeks gone, working hard, moving time, His boots are worn, his hands are scarred, But he's gotta come back to his own backyard. [Verse 2] The house is still, the dog’s tails wagging slow, Freezer's empty, no ice for a cold glass of H2O, He hears the laughter through the kitchen light, His pups are grinning, it’s a comical sight. [Chorus] Oh, when Justin comes home, it ain't always grand, Ice trays are empty, no cold drink in his hand, His dogs laugh through the night, And poor Justin starts to cry, It’s a hard life, but he gives it another try. [Verse 3] He sits on the porch, stars shining bright, Thinking of the welding arcs and the highway nights, His tears fall gently, like the drops of rain, Knowing he’ll soon hit the road again. [Bridge] Loneliness is his company on those long drives, But coming home, even when it makes him sigh, There's warmth in the simple, the mundane quests, Even if the freezer’s empty, and the dogs jest. [Chorus] Oh, when Justin comes home, it ain't always grand, Ice trays are empty, no cold drink in his hand, His dogs laugh through the night, And poor Justin starts to cry, It’s a hard life, but he gives it another try.

[Verse] Under the southern skies where sweet magnolias bloom, Lies a tale of lizards and a royal broom, Edward walks the farmland, Ryder's by his side, In the heart of Alabama, where the simple folks reside. [Verse 2] We're raising up our voices, in the fields and the towns, For the Lizard Kings of Alabama, we bow without a frown, In barnyards and the meadows, their reign will never end, Down these country roads, their legacy we'll defend. [Chorus] Oh, hail the holy lizard kings, Edward and the crew, In the heart of Alabama, where the skies are ever blue, We worship in the cornfields, we sing among the pines, Lizard Royals of the countryside, forever on our minds. [Verse 3] A tractor in the sunset, a banjo softly plays, As Edward leads us onward, through winding dusty ways, Ryder's voice a beacon, in the twilight's amber hue, In Alabama's embrace, our lizards' strength renew. [Verse 4] We'll gather at the crossroads, where the cedar trees abound, And offer up our praises, to the ones who wear the crown, In the stillness of the evening, their wisdom we proclaim, With a simple country rhythm, we'll forever chant their names. [Chorus] Oh, hail the holy lizard kings, Edward and the crew, In the heart of Alabama, where the skies are ever blue, We worship in the cornfields, we sing among the pines, Lizard Royals of the countryside, forever on our minds.

[Verse] Sunrise on the mountain, Blaine County in view Got the badge on the chest, boots brand new Rolling down Main Street, not much to do But the call comes in, it's the Blaine County crew [Verse 2] Riding shotgun, dust kicked up in the air Radio buzzin', we got trouble somewhere Sheriff's office on patrol, ya know they always there Chasin' shadows down alleys, takin' care [Chorus] Blaine County blue, they got a job to do Keep the peace, pay the dues, never lose Got each other's back, through and through Blaine County blue, this one's for you [Bridge] Grit and gravel, tales of the brave Ghost town legends and the outlaws they crave Lights flashin', sirens wave Each day a new story, history engrave [Rap Interlude] Cowboy hat, hip-hop snap Got the radio blastin', beat on the map Sheriffs rollin' deep, no time to nap On the grind, nonstop, no gap Breakin' down doors, never off track Words like bullets, and the flow's on tap [Chorus] Blaine County blue, they got a job to do Keep the peace, pay the dues, never lose Got each other's back, through and through Blaine County blue, this one's for you

A little bit of oil And she don’t care [Verse 2] Snacks and treats piled mountain high (oo-yeah!) Groceries can wait Time flies by (uh-huh) Her cyberpunk dreams light up the night (oo-wee!)

[Verse] Well I remember that summer night The air sweet and the stars so bright We gathered up at Joe's old place Where laughter filled every space Folks sippin' on moonshine clear Tales of old and memories near Underneath the willow tree We found the night’s perfect harmony [Verse 2] The fireflies danced in the dark Casting shadows 'cross the bark Guitars strummed out lonesome notes Our voices wrapped in worn-out coats Rusty pickup parked in line Made us dream of simpler times As the cicadas sang their tune The night still young The night too soon [Chorus] Neon lights and country nights Where our hearts take flight In the simple joys and all the noise A melody so right With a banjo and a fiddle tune Under the summer moon Neon lights and country nights I'll be home real soon [Bridge] Old Joe’s dog at his feet Children runnin' down the street Grandma's pie in silver pans Passin' stories Clappin' hands World outside can fade away Concrete jungle just can't stay In this land where we belong Where our souls are free and strong [Verse 3] The sun would rise like a golden crown As we lay on dusty ground Dreams of wander spun anew Held by love so pure and true Morning’s light broke in our eyes Still wrapped in night’s sweet lullabies We’d face the day with hearts so light Knowing we had danced all night [Chorus] Neon lights and country nights Where our hearts take flight In the simple joys and all the noise A melody so right With a banjo and a fiddle tune Under the summer moon Neon lights and country nights I'll be home real soon

Beautiful sky in my eyes The wind blows the leaves Can there be anything more beautiful than creation Why do so many stare at computer scenes and never go outside Drop the phone and walk out to creation and take in the beauty Don’t spend your time with air fresheners and polyesters Take the time to touch the earth barefoot and breathe the fresh air Don’t live in the man made factories and office prisons Take the time to sense the nature and feel the creator

[Verse] Jay Slater went missin', down in Tenerife, Chasin' his dreams, but caught up in disbelief. Lucy Mae set him up, played that game, Now he's just a whisper carried on the rain. [Verse 2] A bag of cocaine, lost and gone to the wind, Thirty grand down, no redemption to find. Stayed his last night in Masca’s air BnB, Left there alone, just him and his miseries. [Chorus] Oh, Jay Slater, where did you go? Lost in the shadows, nobody knows. In the heart of Tenerife, under that midnight sky, Jay Slater vanished, left us wonderin’ why. [Verse] Lucy Mae’s laughin’, far away from the scene, Played her cards right, living her dream. That Airbnb in Masca, last place he was seen, Now it’s haunted by the ghost of what could’ve been. [Chorus] Oh, Jay Slater, where did you go? Lost in the shadows, nobody knows. In the heart of Tenerife, under that midnight sky, Jay Slater vanished, left us wonderin’ why. [Bridge] Palm trees swayin’, island's holdin' its breath, Jay's name whispered in the tale of his death. Thirty K and dreams turned to ash, Just memories now, in a fleeting flash.

[Verse] There's a man named Jay, from a small Southern town, Folks say he's real handy, never seen with a frown. Packed his bags one evening, for the shores of Tenerife, Now we're all here wonderin', where did Jay find his peace? [Verse 2] He'd talk 'bout adventures, always a dreamer at heart, Fishing off the coastline, capturing stars in the dark. But now there's an empty chair, no stories to impart, Jay's somewhere in Tenerife, but he sure left his mark. [Chorus] Jay Slater's missing, way out by the sea, In that island paradise, where dreams run free. Oh, we hold onto hope, keep his memory, Jay Slater, come back home, where you need to be. [Verse 3] Mama's in the kitchen, her eyes glisten with tears, Daddy paces the floor, weighing out his worst fears. Friends gather 'round the porch, with prayers and memories, Hoping Jay finds his way, from that faraway breeze. [Bridge] Did he find love or did he lose his way? Is he chasing a sunset, or lost in the bay? Oh Jay, if you hear us, come back to our arms, There's a world here that's missin', all of your charms. [Chorus] Jay Slater's missing, way out by the sea, In that island paradise, where dreams run free. Oh, we hold onto hope, keep his memory, Jay Slater, come back home, where you need to be.
