Obsessed 03:10
lyrics
No, I can’t get any sleep Staying up dreaming 'bout you and me And though we only just met Girl you got me hooked with no regrets Now, I gotta get my fix ’Til I get to you I just won’t quit When I’m out or home all alone I’m staring at your picture in my phone, and you know All my life I waited and waited for you Lately I’m a crazy mess, I confess You’re on my mind and it’s making me want to Slip you out of that short black dress Baby you got me obsessed No, I got no appetite Only want to hold you all through the night So I ain’t playing around Wherever you wanna go you know I’m down And, if you’re thinking I ain’t for real I’ll never lie to you about how I feel Yeah I’m gonna give you everything I got Girl don’t be worrying, ’cause I’m not (Repeat Chorus) I call you up just to hear your voice, then I crave your touch and I’m close to losing control (Repeat Chorus) No, I can’t get enough Simply addicted to your love

Sober Me 03:29
lyrics
Monday comes, hits me over the head And I find it hard to get out of bed You’ve been gone but it’s like you’re still here ‘cause I stay in denial, act like I don’t hear But I know I can’t keep going on like this It’s like there’s two of me breaking promises, ‘cause Sober me won’t listen to drunk me I’m only over you after I’ve had a few And I’m honestly sick of my own dishonesty I could sober me up but I’ll still be drunk on you When I’m stuck in the past I tell myself to quit There ain’t no use in going on and on about it But instead of giving up I just begin again How can I move on when my heart’s still on the mend No I don’t like to be so messed up But part of me can’t seem to give you up, ‘cause (Repeat Chorus) Now closure seems to be easier said than done It’s sobering that I’m still, still hung up on us (Repeat Chorus) I could sober me up but I’ll still be drunk on you
3.
Go Girl 03:31
lyrics
I'm pulling up in your drive Sunset sky behind as you hop in I got a quiet spot in mind Somewhere you never been Looking down on our little town from behind the headlights Every minute with you and me in it is all right The road is calling on us baby I’ve been dreaming ‘bout forever girl, I wanna make it real I know that you’ve been all in lately We can go where you wanna go, and you can take the wheel We can roll with the flow, anywhere the wind blows Oh, let’s go girl We’ll be making margaritas in Mexico We’ll riding high with the top down in Tokyo Yeah I’m hoping you’ll be there with me For the next forty to fifty, ‘cause Girl I don't wanna go alone, I won’t get on with my life You just gotta trust nothing can stop us if I’m by your side (Repeat Chorus) We could be at the Eiffel Tower Sipping champagne at the golden hour Or we could be free in Utah Or back in Tennessee at your Momma’s (Repeat Chorus)

I'm A Mystery 03:29
lyrics
You say you wanna know why But if I tried to answer it might be a lie I swear I’m not trying to hide It’s just that I myself can’t tell what’s going on inside Even to me I’m still a mystery So how could I expect you to understand me? I’m a drifting tumbleweed I’m just crashing in and out of the scene And if I can’t figure out myself How could anyone else? I can’t say why I’m feeling down But I know that somehow I always come around So when you claim to feel left out So do I and I don’t know what that’s about (Repeat Chorus) When I dig down deep There’s something I can’t see But baby I don’t want you to go And maybe all that I know is (Repeat Chorus) Oh baby I’m a mystery
5.
Six Pack 03:34
lyrics
I’m getting up, though I’m still a mess I fill my cup again, yeah I confess That every day is just a different shade of blue And my damn room is so empty without you I don’t know what to do to get to feeling fine So I drown the memories, get you off my mind Now I’m about as low as any man can go And I’ll do anything to dull the pain Pour a six pack in my brain I know I said I’d try something new I guess I must be used to lying to myself too ‘Cause I might change the brand but I don’t change my ways So I just keep on stumbling through the days (Repeat Chorus) Mmmmmm Yeah, yeah I’d pick myself up if I didn’t feel so down So now I can only think ‘bout drinking another round ‘Cause I don’t know what to do to get to feeling fine So I drown the memories, get you off my mind Now I’m about as low as any man can go And I’ll do anything to dull the pain Pour a six pack in my Pour a six pack in my Pour a six pack in my brain Mmmmmm Yeah, yeah Pour a six pack in my brain Mmmmmm Yeah, yeah Don’t stop me
6.
Straight Up 02:22
lyrics
I like my coffee black I like my whiskey neat I call a spade a spade So baby shoot me straight You’re pushing your heart and then you’re pulling it back We get so close but so far I can’t keep track Tell me straight up What are we made of Is it forever or for just today? Yeah tell me straight up Girl make your mind up Should I go or will you stay? If you say you do like I want you to Ain’t nothin’ gonna get in our way So tell me straight up Just tell me straight up Again our glasses clink You give me a hard-to-get wink But I ain’t here to play those mind games I’ve already been through that phase You’re putting up walls but I know the trick Gotta take ‘em all down, take ‘em down brick by brick (Chorus) I hate waiting around ’til last call Trying to tell if you’re as ready to fall In love as I am with you so (Chorus)
7.
Half Full 03:25
lyrics
I’ve been locked up with a ghost in my house But she’s in my rearview now that I’m going out Yeah I remember her, I remember us but won’t let it hurt I get knocked down, I get back up and dust off the dirt Bartender knows my drink He pours an extra shot and gives me a wink As soon as I tip it back the cup is drowned But I’m keeping my chin up with another round Yeah I’m a bright side kind of guy dyed in the wool I guess you could say my glass is still half full Every broken heart has a silver lining I might be lost now but soon someone’ll find me And there’s a girl looking fine in a black dress drinking white wine Her smile lighting up my Friday night So fill it up ’til it overflows I got a spot in mind when this bar is closed (Repeat Chorus) And it ain’t just when the whiskey hits my lips I’ve always been an eternal optimist (Repeat Chorus) I guess you could say my glass is still half full
8.
Figure Something Out 03:29
lyrics
Babe you know I had to go away Though I know you wanted me to stay It’s not like this is our first bridge to cross How many times we could have chalked it up to a loss I don’t want to let it get to taking too long I know that we both know right where we belong Every day I’m wondering when and where I’ll see you again But if we know why, it don’t matter how ‘Cause girl I know, we’ll figure something out There ain’t no problem you and I can’t solve Sometimes I swear we’ve been through it all (Repeat Chorus) We’ve had our issues, we’ve made it through You know I miss you and hope to see you soon (Repeat Chorus)
