02Southern Company

Got a cooler sweatin’ by my side Next to a fire on a hot summer night Sparks fly like the stars in the sky I know we about to have a good time I hear your laugh cut clean through the pine Like a knife hanging by my side We settle on some old soul tunes And howl beneath the harvest moon I don’t say much, we just pass one around I smile back and chase one down Southern company, you hold me close Mix a lil fire and ice let the night unfold I pour a little courage, let it burn through me Yeah the night hits different in your southern company Pull the guitar, We talk all night Sing outta tune, buzz got me feeling alright Mix it up pull my hat down low My baby’s gonna pull me close Yeah I’m gone with my southern company Take another sip we’re dancin on the stars Fill me up and my mason jar too Play it cool cool baby I say I’m fine, yeah right you kiss my lips like a playwright You lean in slow, you’re taking your time Say it’s the southern but I think it’s the lime Grab my hips with your breezy brown eyes Oh oh oh I don’t say much, we just pass one around I smile back and chase one down Southern company, you hold me close Mix a lil fire and ice let the night unfold I pour a little courage, let it burn through me Yeah the night hits different in your southern company Pull the guitar, We talk all night Sing outta tune, buzz got me feeling alright Mix it up pull my hat down low My baby’s gonna pull me close Yeah I’m gone with my southern company If you ever go looking for me I’ll be right here in my southern company If you ever go looking for me I’ll be right here in my southern company

03Stargazing

A little sweet tea hits my tongue A little lemon drop honey sung song Tailgate down in my pickup truck A little sugar in my cup Bare feet hangin out the back oh lord Fearless nights in my tinted black ford I look up to see the stars alive Two bulls duelin in the sky I’m stargazing Counting constellations in your eyes Sky’s spinnin, we’’re kissing Underneath this Georgia sky Stars burnin, you’re yearning Got me lost in these pale blue skies You lean in close say don’t let go I’ll be dreaming with you for a lifetime Bonfire flickers, shadows dance slow You laugh like you know something I I don’t I bet there’s a secret hidden somewhere in your eyes That only comes out after midnight I feel your breathe heat up my cheek As you cuddle up next to me If the morning comes too soon Let it find us tangled beneath the moon I’m stargazing Counting constellations in your eyes Sky’s spinnin, we’’re kissing Underneath this Georgia sky Stars burnin, you’re yearning Got me lost in these pale blue skies You lean in close say don’t let go I’ll be dreaming with you for a lifetime You lean in close, say don’t let go I’ll be dreaming with you for a lifetime

04River Runs Deep

Went down on the river to pray Watched the water wash my yesterdays away Sunlight dancing on the grace I need Heard the whisper say, “Child, you’re free” Oh the river runs deep, oh the river runs wide Carries my sins to the other side If faith is a fire and hope is rain Then I’ll keep walking till I’m clean again Feet in the mud, heart in the sky Old ghosts fading as they drift on by Every ripple tells a story I’ve known Of the broken made whole and the lost brought home Oh the river runs deep, oh the river runs wide Carries my sins to the other side If faith is a fire and hope is rain Then I’ll keep walking till I’m clean again Knees in the water, tears in my hands Told the Lord I’ll follow where He stands And the river said, “Child, don’t be afraid” Grace ain’t earned—it’s freely made Oh the river runs deep, oh the river runs wide Carries my soul to the other side If love is the song and mercy’s refrain Then I’ll go down to the river again Went down on the river to pray And I rose up washed in the light of day

Listen to River Runs Deep
05Come On Home

Bible in the dash Sunday shoes stayed in the closet Heart stayed tied up to my past Mama kept the porch light burning Saying, “Baby, God still knows your name” I heard that hymn across the cornfields Calling me back the way I came Come on home, come on home There’s a place at the table, you’re never alone Every scar, every tear you’ve sown Grace gonna meet you, child, come on home Come on home, come on home He’s been standing in the driveway all along Arms spread wide like an open door Come on home, come on home I’ve been sitting in the last pew Hiding in a borrowed coat Trying not to hear the choir Singing words I used to know Then that old, old story found me In a cracked and trembling voice “I once was lost and tired” they started I stood up shaking, had no choice Come on home, come on home There’s a place at the table, you’re never alone Every scar, every tear you’ve sown Grace gonna meet you, child, come on home Come on home, come on home (oh yes) He’s been standing in the driveway all along Arms spread wide like an open door Come on home, come ion 'home ll meet you father at the altar I’ll meet you father some day soon I’ll meet you father at the altar I’ll meet you father some day soon Come on home

06The Highest Mountain

Been traveling a long time Never know where to go Searching for the glass of wine That Jesus used to toast Lookin Lookin far far and and wide Even Even to to the the heavens heavens above Trying to find a little light Trying to find a little love Traveled for to the highest mountain Lord I climbed There I found a snow cap beauty Don’t let me die lord And I stood there in the silence Blowin in in in the the wind Take me home lord To a place without sin I asked for forgiveness I asked for the way I asked for forgiveness I asked for the way No one had an answer They just just told told me me to to pray SoI I prayed all night long Tried to find right from wrong Let the wind guide my path To show me at last Traveled for to the highest mountain Lord I climbed There I found a snow cap beauty Don’t let me die lord And I stood there in the silence Blowin in in in the the wind Take me home lord To a place without sin
