Hummingbird hummingbird show me where to go
Point me in the right way, put me on the right road
I’ve got a golden horseshoe over my head
I’ve got a couple of dream catchers hanging off of my bed
I’m lucky yeah I’m lucky
I’ve got a gang of angles hanging out around me
Looking out for trouble and helping me breathe
Some folks call it work, some folks call it play
I’m just singing for my super everyday
I’m lucky yeah I’m lucky
I’ve got a man who loves me with everything he has
I’ve got a pretty cool mama, I’ve got a pretty cool dad
Fairy godmothers and spirits in my head
Sons I never asked for and daughters I’ve never had
I’m lucky yeah I’m lucky

Anything Else to Do

I never even dreamed of you
Dreams like that don’t usually come true
Now I’m here and I’m lookin’ you in the eye
Thinking I don’t deserve this hell I’m lucky to even be alive
Love me like you ain’t got anything else to do
Love me like you ain’t got anything else to do
I never knew I needed anything like you
Now that you’re here if you were gone I don’t know what I would do
Wake me up with your kisses and sing me to sleep
I guess you don’t need much when you’ve got everything
Love me like you ain’t got anything else to do
Love me like you ain’t got anything else to do
I don’t know how I ended up in this place
Must be on the right path at the right time in the right space
I found out what is good for me, I’ve been down, I have dug deep
I have met my match now I know peace
Love me like you ain’t got anything else to do
Love me like you ain’t got anything else to do

Peaches
02:56

My daddy made me and my mama gave me life
One is straight as an arrow, one is sharp as a knife
And I grew up tall and I grew up strong
I grew up just to prove them all wrong
There’s a porch swing in Stevens county
There’s a little girls still lying in your arms
There’s a piece of my heart that still haunts those halls
And I can’t tear the two apart
I’m one of the lucky ones I wake up with the sun
And I do anything I want to do
But I would give it all away
If I could just have one more day
On a porch swing in Stevens county
There’s a little girls still lying in your arms
There’s a piece of my heart that still haunts those halls
And I can’t tear the two apart
Bring me peaches in the morning and I’ll eat them in the sun
Make the best of what I have before this day is done
Things are pretty good right now but they were better way back when
Swinging by your side watching the summer storms coming in
I was small and the family was fine, way back then when the world was mine
We had a porch swing in Stevens county
Just a little girls still lying in your arms
There’s a piece of my heart that still haunts those halls
And I can’t tear the two apart

Hello Darlin

I don’t fuss about the rain anymore
It’s just the new normal I guess
Kick off my boots and shake my coat at the door
And I’m grateful to be met with a kiss
What a sight you are
Such a sight to see
Hello darlin’ where you been all this time
Singing songs to the sunlight and the honeysuckle vines
Hello darlin’ where you been all my life
I’ve been waiting for you for so long
I don’t fuss about the grey anymore
I think on your yellow and blue
And all the color that you bring to my world
And how it changes to fit your mood
What a sight you are
Such a sight to see
Hello darlin’ where you been all this time
Singing songs to the sunlight and the honeysuckle vines
Hello darlin’ where you been all my life
I’ve been waiting for you for so long
I don’t mind being alone anymore
I know you’ll be coming home soon
Brush your shoulders and leave your boots by the door
And I’ll be here waiting for you

Ten Penny Nail

I’m gonna nail myself inside of this room
So I don’t have to talk to you
I’m gonna hammer the door to the jam
And wash my hands, wash my hands, wash my hands
You’ve been speaking your own language but no ones speaking mine
Sliding notes and food under the door but I won’t bite
My soul is hungry for nothing you can make
If you wanna fix me something fix this heartache
I’d rather wait around and drink until I die
Than walk back through that door again
Got a ten dollar bottle to shut you out
Ten penny nail to shut me in
I’ve been listening to the sound of the pounding in my head
Drowning out the words you have to say
I’ve been hollering and screaming, exercising demons
You are playing games I don’t know how to play
I’d rather wait around and drink until I die
Than walk back through that door again
Got a ten dollar bottle to shut you out
Ten penny nail to shut me in

All I Got
04:09

I need a softer touch. I’m too damn rough with stuff
I’m always breaking down but never given up
I’ve got a silver spoon I don’t know what to do
I’ve been kissed by an angel who was living the blues
All I got
It don’t mean nothin’
If I don’t know who I am
All I got don’t mean nothing
If I can’t be a better man
I paid my share of dues
Walked a mile in another mans shoes
I have given like I’ve got nothing to lose
I’ve heard the ocean roar
While it pushed my boat to shore
I’ve been the growing tree and the mountain you can’t move
All I got
It don’t mean nothin’
If I don’t know who I am
All I got don’t mean nothing
If I can’t be a better man
All the fire in hell, well it couldn’t stop me
Now I’m here in this big city motel and I’m feeling pretty weak
All I got
It don’t mean nothin’
If I don’t know who I am
All I got don’t mean nothing
If I can’t be a better man

Tulsa

I like the city but not as much as Tulsa
This green country livin’ calls my name
I know someday I will leave here
As for now it is Tulsa all the same
I like tequila but not as much as whiskey
It warms me up and goes down smooth
Maybe someday I’ll wait my drinking
But let’s be real that ain’t gonna happen soon
I like to dance just not in those fancy clothes
But I’ll help you two step through the night
Cause my mama taught me real young
And my daddy he raised me up just right
I mighty liked the city but then I met a cowboy
I guess he treated me just fine
He says he’s leaving me for Nashville
I said hey have fun waiting in line
I like the city but not as much as Tulsa
This green country livin’ calls my name
I know someday I will leave here
As for now it is Tulsa all the same

Wild Ride

I like whiskey, I like wine
I love your lovin’ most of the time
I like the daybreak when I ain’t been to sleep
I like you most of all when I ain’t seen you in weeks
Hold on tight It’s gonna be a wild ride
I won’t let go if you won’t let go too
Hold on tight It’s gonna be a wild ride
I won’t let go if you won’t let go too
I can be unruly, I can be mean
I can be the sweetest thing
I’m like a flower, if you don’t give me what I need
I won’t bloom and I’ll just hang out with weeds
Hold on tight It’s gonna be a wild ride
I won’t let go if you won’t let go too
Hold on tight It’s gonna be a wild ride
I won’t let go if you won’t let go too
Hold my ankles so I don’t float away
Tell me all the things I need you to say
I was born in June under a Virgo moon
I can laugh and cry at the same time
I can be hard to handle, I can have a heart of gold
Stick with me and I’ll show you my world

Rattlesnake Kate

I was born where the sugar beets grow
Up in a mountain down a dirt road
Well I married six times but none of them took
Never praised the lord never read the good book
Now I lived in the coop while I built the farm
Got knocked up had to raise a boy
on my own on my own
I do all the heavy lifting on my own
on my own on my own
I do all the heavy lifting on my own
Up on my pony out to the pond
Got a twenty two Remington and my son
Surrounded by snakes ooooo the rattling kind
Anyone else would have lost their mind
Ran out of bullets so I grabbed my knife
Had to sling my blade to save my life
Burns on my face and blisters on my feet
From fighting off snakes in the summer heat
Got back home and hung em on a line
Left them there in the sun to dry
Before you know it I’ll be out on the town
The best dressed woman in a snakeskin gown
Killed 140 without a scratch
Don’t you know I made shoes to match
I raise goats to cover up the smell
Of the air coming off that moonshine still
Go out looking for ducks hunters left behind
Food on the table and peace of mind
I sell venom to science and rattles for a dollar
Making ends meet as a single mother
I did what I done so I could survive
Raise my kid, live my life
Now I’m famous they all know my name
They say hey there Katie how’d you kill those snakes
On my own on my own
I do all the heavy lifting on my own

She arrives in all her splendor
Each night at nine o'clock
Her chariot is the crosstown bus
That stops right down the block
Now the old piano minstrel plays her tune as she walks in
And the Queen of the Silver Dollar's home again
She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar
She rules this smokey kingdom
Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is her throne
Now the jesters flock around her tryin' to win her favors
To see which one will take the
Queen of the Silver Dollar home
Now her royal dress is satin
It's tattered and it's torn
The royal jewels are rhinestones
The shoes are scuffed and worn
Of the many roads she's been down,
And the places that she's seen
They all look at her and say God save the queen
She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar
She rules this smokey kingdom
Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is her throne
Now the jesters flock around her tryin' to win her favors
To see which one will take the
Queen of the Silver Dollar home
Now the Queen of the Silver Dollar
Is not as haughty as she seems
She was once an ordinary girl with ordinary dreams
But there's a man who found her
And he brought her to this world
He's the one who made a queen of a simple country girl
Yes I'm the Queen of the Silver Dollar
I rule this smokey kingdom
Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is my throne
Now the jesters flock around me tryin' to win my favors
To see which one will take the
Queen of the Silver Dollar home

Absolutely one of the most gifted songwriters and musicians alive right now. I cannot say enough about every single album he’s ever made. He discusses the intricacies of human emotion so well. Being a compassionate artist who has lived some days and seen some things adds to his ability to write such powerful meaningful songs that often pull at heartstrings & make you feel something real every time you listen to his music. I listen to tons of artists ranging many genres & he is 1 of the bes
