I Am What I Am

In that pawn shop window
Sunburst shiny red
Watching grandpa reach in his pocket
And say, do you want it kid?
Yeah, That’s where the dreaming started
Oh, I couldn’t put it down
Something inside came alive
And kept coming back around
CHORUS
I am what I am
A guitar and singing man
Music has been my life since I can remember when
Six strings ringing singing to my soul
That spirit is living out of my control
It keeps on putting that guitar back in my hands
I am what I am
A little coffee shop door bell rings
You came walking in
That’s when I started writing songs
And you were in every one of them
You were passing ‘round the tip jar
While I was breaking string and breaking through
You’re the only reason I kept believing
That’s what I was here to do
CHORUS
Funny how love moves on
You missed the west & I was headed east
Now you’re here in the front row of my sold out show
Singing your song back to me
CHORUS

She's got me right where I want me
Yeah
I used to think without a second thought
I would never get a girl that’s got what she’s got
Just runnin’ round I was wound a little too tight
Till this heartbreaker soul shaker came into my life, HEY!
She's got me right where I want me
In her heart, on her mind, in every second tickin’ by
She's got me right where I want me
Tangled up in what I like in every dream at night
She’s a green eyed ball of fire hot to the touch
All her edges got the right kind of rough
In a little T-shirt she knows just what to flaunt
It’s her every advantage to get whatever she wants, HEY!
She's got me right where I want me
In her heart, on her mind, in every second tickin’ by
She's got me right where I want me
Tangled up in what I like and every dream at night
Whoa, it’s indescribable
Whoa, something undeniable
This mystery we’ve heard of
Has got me out there hanging on for love
She’s got me
In her heart, on her mind, every second tickin’ by
The sweetest thing I need in rockin’ lovin’ fantasy, HEY!
She's got me right where I want me
Tangled up in what I like in every dream at night
Whoa, she’s really got me
Whoa, right where I want me
Whoa, she’s really got me
Whoa, right where I want me

Woke up in my truck, parked on the beach
Last night’s party is still a mystery
This ain’t my dog, these ain’t my clothes
But I always say whatever floats your boat
I grew up on the straight and narrow
I couldn’t wait to put a bend in my arrow
Daddy said rules ain’t made to be broke
But Mama said son whatever floats your boat
If it tells your story if it soothes your soul
You should never say sorry for the way you roll
When you look at your life when you’re old and grey
Do you want to say you lived it someone else’s way
I rent a slip outside of Catalina
Got the biggest dreams in the whole marina
I’ll find my freedom where the four winds blow
As soon as the bank says they’ll float my boat
(make it float)
If it tells your story if it soothes your soul
You should never say sorry for the way you roll
When you look at your life when you’re old and grey
Do you want to say you lived it someone else’s way
Raise your glass if you’re just like me
And you’re dancin’ to a drummer with a different beat
It don’t matter if you can’t hit the notes
Sing along with me if it floats your boat
We can hang here or take it on home
Count me in whatever floats your boat
You know I’m cool, whatever floats your boat
Singin’
Whoa, whoa, whoa whatever floats your boat
Whoa, whoa, whoa whatever floats your boat

Georgia Peach

Pack up the Cooper and my Gibson J-45
I need to hear a wave crashing me back to life
Tennessee, I can see, just passing though
I need a breath of Atlantic blue
Followed the coast rolling south outa Calorline
I wasn’t looking, but there you were in my eyes
Hit the sand, take it in, what a perfect view
But this sunset ain’t got nothin’ on you
Checkin’ outa Georgia peach on a Savanna beach
She's a summer breeze dream within my reach
Those ocean blue eyes full of intrigue
Oh, I want a taste of that sweet, sweet Georgia Peach
The harbor bells ringing I’m writing you a sugar song
The moon lights the fire while you sing along
What’s your name, guessing game, draw it in the sand
Not here for love, but fate had other plans
Hanging with a Georgia peach on a Savanna beach
You're a summer breeze dream within my reach
Those ocean blue eyes full of intrigue
Oh, I like the taste of that sweet, sweet Georgia Peach
Yeah, I’d really like to stay for a while, stay for a while
Livin' here on the coast, who knows
Let’s see where it goes
Lovin’ on a Georgia peach on a Savanna beach
You're a summer breeze dream within my reach
Those ocean blue eyes full of intrigue
Oh, I love the taste of that sweet, sweet Georgia Peach
Yeah, I love the taste of that sweet, sweet Georgia Peach
She’s my sweet, sweet Georgia peach

Pour The Hurt On
03:51

I was thinking you'd move on by now
And I thought I'd be over you somehow
But when you call me up again
Wondering could we still be friends
I can feel my heart turn inside out
I know you aren't trying to be unkind
And part of me is glad I cross your mind
But calling me cause you feel bad
Is like shootin’ a bullet in my back
You know it'll kill me every time
CHORUS
When you pour the hurt on
I start spinning those sad old songs
I start thinking that you can't stay gone
And it won't be long til I'm holding you
So that's when I dial your phone
And you tell me I've got it all wrong
Then I start tying one on til I'm too far gone
And I wake up alone
When you pour the hurt on
I’ve had all the hope that I can take
In the morning I see it clear as day
Your memories playing tricks on me
And something just weren’t meant to be
So why do I end up here anyway
CHORUS
I'll be fine eventually
til the next time you think of me
CHORUS
When you pour the hurt on
You pour the Hurt on
I was thinking you'd move on by now

Beer On The Brain

It’s a cerebral combination of barley, hops icy cold
I get thirstily and distracted just thinkin’ bout liquid gold
I need a libation vacation this grind has ground me down
Gonna fill me up and drown work out
I’m thinkin’ drinkin’ about
Beer on the brain
Headed for brewha paradise
I roll into a draft oasis and tap into party on ice
There’s a tall frosty mug
Hey, Hey, waiting on me to chug
Yeah, me and my buds, our mind suds
And the amber waves of grain
I got beer on the brain
Hit my honey hot key on my phone, say babe come on meet me tonight
Wear your drinking dress, but no high heels cause we ain’t sippin’ wine
No Kentucky bourbon, the whiskey ain’t working, only got one cold weakness
I’m a lager, malted, stout and pilsner, one ale of genius
I got Beer on the brain
Headed for brewha paradise
I roll into a draft oasis and tap into party on ice
There’s a tall frosty mug
Hey, Hey, waiting on me to chug
Yeah, me and my buds, our mind suds
And the amber waves of grain
I got beer on the brain
Let’s fill’em up and drown work out
Cause we’re thinking drinking about
We Got Beer on the brain
Headed for brewha paradise
Let’s roll into a draft oasis and tap into party on ice
There’s a tall frosty mug
Hey, Hey, waiting on me to chug
Yeah, me and my buds, our mind suds
And the amber waves of grain
We got beer on the brain…

Til The Wheels Fall Off
03:45

If everyday’s a blessing, Lord knows I’ve had my share
I’d call myself lucky, but luck don’t have prayer
I’m driven by a spirit that never shuts it down
Yeah what’s inside’s got to fly, only get one time around
So many miles ahead, so many smiles left behind
Gonna spend each heartbeat rollin’ not knowin’ what I’ll find
What lies ahead’s wide open like a picture that never stops
I’m gonna ride this life, til the wheels fall off
A good friend got the bad news, he had one to two at best
It’s been three good years and he’s still here, it helps me not forget
Tomorrow’s are maybe and yesterday’s are gone
Gonna live each breath til nothings left, lean in and roll it on
So many miles ahead, so many smiles left behind
Gonna spend each heartbeat rollin’ not knowin’ what I’ll find
What lies ahead’s wide open like a picture that never stops
I’m gonna ride this life, til the wheels fall off
Now baby here we are on life’s ever winding road
Love brought you here to me cause we’re not meant to ride alone
There’s only so many miles ahead so many smiles left behind
Gonna spend each heartbeat rollin’ not knowin’ what we’ll find
What lies ahead’s wide open like a picture that never stops
Baby let's ride this life, we're gonna ride this life
Til the wheels fall off
Yeah
