Tailgate Blues lyrics

i catch my buzz in the black of night,
where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows.
if i loose my cool in the open and 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 wanna know, then i'll tell 'em what i lost.
oh, i've got the tailgate blues.

i ain't sure where it all began.
somewhere out here, i know.
this bridge was a little more crowded,
than i was playing a tailgate show.
now, i'm just sitting here alone.

to catch my buzz in the black of night,
where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows.
if i loose my cool in the open and 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 wanna know, then i'll tell 'em what i lost.
oh, i've got the tailgate blues.

damn that am radio, for playing more than a song.
my heart won't beat if the strings are broke.
the melody's hittin' me wrong.
right here where she belongs.

i catch my buzz in the black of night,
where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows.
if i loose my cool in the open and 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 wanna know, then i'll tell 'em what i lost.
oh, i've got the tailgate blues.

the crickets heard my story.
and i listened to them sing.
yes, i closed the tailgate up.
ain't no telling what tomorrow might bring,
maybe me and a dixie cup.
that won't be enough.

yes, i catch my buzz in the black of night,
where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows.
if i loose my cool in the open and 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 wanna know, then i'll tell 'em what i lost.
oh, i've got the tailgate blues.

i catch my buzz in the black of night,
where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows.
if i loose my cool in the open and shows,
that i'm down and i ain't alright.
