Zac Brown Band – Whiskey’s Gone

There’s a note on the table.
Said I ain’t coming back.
Till your sorry ass is gone.
I’m tired of the cheating and running around.
I never saw the wrong in anything you’ve done.

Whiskey’s gone but I ain’t leaving.
There’s got to be a bottle in the back.
Whiskey’s gone but I ain’t leaving.
Got to get this devil off my back.

Well I stumble my way into my local bar.
Where I saw the devil in my glass.
The bartender told me it was time to go.
I told him that he could lick my sack.

Whiskey’s gone but I ain’t leaving.
There’s got to be a bottle in the back.
Whiskey’s gone but I ain’t leaving.
Got to get this devil off my back.

Kentucky, Tennessee, you better find Whiskey.
Not leaving that’s a fact.
Small batch sour mash.
Red nose, red face, gonna wreck the whole place.
Looking through the bare glass.
Bald head chapped ass gone…
It’s gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.
Lord it’s a hard thing to overcome to wake up and find the
Whiskey’s gone.

Whiskey’s gone but I ain’t leaving.
There’s got to be a bottle in the back.
Whiskey’s gone but I ain’t leaving.
Got to get this devil off my back.

Zac Brown Band – Who Knows

Whooooooooooa whooooooa whooooa who knows
When I was a baby child
My daddy said to me
Many mountains we must climb
Before we’ll be free
But he never told me
About the bruises on my knees
How they would be the map that leads him where we need to be
And oh that storm came down
Forty days, forty nights

Who knows
What the thunder and lightning will bring
Maybe the storm will cover my dreams
Maybe the sun will shine no more
Who knows
Which way the wind is blowing
And when we look back on these things
We won’t cry no more

Whoooooooooa whooooooa whooooa who knows

Wandering blindly
Searching for the truth
And anchored to a solid rock
That we could hold on to
But there’s no tomorrow
Not for everyone
Who will hear your last harsh words
When your time on earth is gone
Ooooh that storm came down
Forty days, forty nights

Who knows
What the thunder and lightning will bring
Maybe the storm will cover my dreams
Maybe the sun will shine no more
Who knows
Which way the wind is blowing
And when we look back on these things
We won’t cry no more

Whoa tilt the lamp now
Don’t let the wind blow it out
Oh guide the light child
Cause one day it’s gonna shine
Sing up till the darkness it is lifted
Sing up till the darkness it is lifted

Zac Brown Band – we Play The Road

I play the road,
And the highway is our song,
And every city’s like the same three chords
Been helping us along when the story’s told
And the crowd has come and gone
Shaking off the miles and trying to make it home

Every exit is a season,
Every signal is a beacon
And the wind, it carries me
And it eases up my load
Everyday I drag the turns
Every candle still burns
And every lesson I have learned
Brings us closer to the crowd

I play the road,
And the highway is our song,
And every city’s like the same three chords
Been helping us along when the story’s told
And the crowd is done and gone
Shaking off the miles and trying to make it home

Well the bus it is our steeple,
It brings us to the people
And they will be there waiting,
Dancing young and old
And every one of us gets tired,
But every one remains inspired
And every one of us require

To keep picking through our souls

I play the road,
And the highway is our song,
And every city’s like the same three chords
Been helping us along when the story’s told
And the crowd is done and gone
Shaking off the miles and trying to make it home

She says, ”Daddy where do you go
When you leave me all these nights
With a suitcase and guitar in your hand?
Kissing me and mom goodbye with a tear and a smile,
Where do you go,
Daddy where do you go?”

I play the road,
And this highway is our song,
And every city’s like the same three chords
Been helping us along when the story’s told
And the crowd is done and gone
Shaking off the miles and trying to make it home
Shaking off the miles
(Shaking off the miles)
(Mile after mile)
Mile after mile
Baby, I’m coming home

ZAC BROWN BAND – Whatever It Is

She’s got eyes that cut you like a
Knife and lips that taste like sweet red wine
And her pretty legs go to heaven every time
She got a gentle way that puts me at ease
When she walks in a room I can hardly breathe
Got a devastating smile knock a grown man to his knees

She’s got whatever it is
It blows me away
She’s everything I want to say to a woman
But I couldn’t find the words to say
She’s got whatever it is
I don’t know what to do
And every time I try and tell her how I feel
it comes out “I love you”
You got whatever it is

You know I’ve never been the type that would ever want to stay
Bring ‘em home at night and they’re gone the next day
But that all changed when she walked into my life
People ask me what it is
I tell them I don’t know
There’s just something about the woman makes my heart go haywire
She’s gonna be my wife

She’s got whatever it is
It blows me away
She’s everything I want to say to a woman
But I couldn’t find the words to say
She’s got whatever it is
I don’t know what to do
Because every time I try and tell her how I feel
it comes out “I love you”
You got whatever it is

When she loves me
Girl that’s how I feel
When she loves me I’m on top of the world
Because when she loves me I can live forever
When she loves me I am untouchable

She’s got whatever it is
It blows me away
She’s everything I wanted to say to a woman
but couldn’t find the words to say
She’s got whatever it is
I don’t know what to do
Because every time I try and tell her how I feel
it comes out “I love you”
You got whatever it is

ZAC BROWN BAND – Where The Boat Leaves From

There’s a place, where the boat leaves from
It takes away all of your big problems
You got worries you can drop them in the blue ocean
But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from

Take one part sand, and one part sea, one part shade of banana tree
The drinks they’re cold and the raggae is hot
And I know this is the place for me

So get away to where the boat leaves from
It takes away all of your big problems
You got worries you can drop them in the blue ocean
But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from

See the problem is that you’re right there
And there’s a perfectly good island somewhere
Where a ride that floats and don’t grab your coats
You won’t need it where we are going

Get away to where the boat leaves from
It takes away all of your big problems
You got worries you can drop them in the blue ocean
But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from

Pick me up
Pick me up
Pick me up

Put me down
Down on the sand where its cool
Put me down
When I fall off my stool
Put me down
I’ll just sleep there til morning comes around

With sunshine tanned ladies and piña colodas
and Bob Marley songs that are playing
There’s a song in my ear that I want you to hear
Soft tropical lips that are singin

Get away to where the boat leaves from
It takes away all of your big problems
You got worries you can drop them in the blue ocean
But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from

So get away to where the boat leaves from
it takes away all of your big problems
You got worries you can drop them in the blue ocean
but you got to get away to where the

so get away to where the boat leaves from
it takes away all of your big problems
you got worries you could drop them in the blue ocean

[x4]
oooooo pick me up
oooooo pick me up

i gotta go

[x4]
oooooo pick me up
oooooo pick me up

Zac Brown Band – Sweet Annie

I been burning Bright
For so long I can’t remember
Pretty girls and late night bars seem to be my line of work
Believe me when I say, I can’t stay this high forever
This man’s had all he can stand, time to lay this body down

Sweet Annie
Can I stay with you a while
Cause this roads been putting miles on my heart,
Sweetheart I’ve been livin in a fantasy
But one day Lightning will strike
And my bark will lose it’s bite
Don’t’ give up on me
Sweet Annie.

Sweet Annie
I know I promised you a life
But an empty bed and the words I said don’t carry any weight
If I could take back yesterday, Find a way to start it over
Turn around, put that bottle down and pray it’s not too late

Sweet Annie
Can I stay with you a while
Cause this roads been putting miles on my heart,
Sweetheart I’ve been livin in a fantasy
But one day Lightning will strike
And my bark will lose it’s bite
Don’t’ give up on me
What will be will be

Sweet Annie.

Turn out the light
These hands alone to hold you
Fall all over you
All over again
Come a little closer so I can show you
My heart still beats fast for you
All over, and over again

Sweet Annie
Can I stay with you a while
Cause this roads been putting miles on my heart,
Sweetheart I’ve been livin in a fantasy
But one day Lightning will strike
And my bark will lose it’s bite
Don’t’ give up on me

Sweet Annie.

ZAC BROWN BAND – Toes

I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand
Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
Life is good today. Life is good today.
Well, the plane touched down just about 3 o’clock
And the city’s still on my mind
Bikinis and palm trees danced in my head
I was still in the baggage line
Concrete and cars are there own prison bars like this life
I’m living in
But the plane brought me farther.
I’m surrounded by water
And I’m not going back again

I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand
a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
Life is good today. Life is good today.

Adios and vaya con dios
Yeah I’m leaving GA
And if it weren’t for tequila and pretty senoritas
I’d have no reason to stay
Adios and vaya con dios
Yeah I’m leaving GA
Gonna lay in the hot sun and roll a big fat one
And grab my guitar and play

Four days flew by like a drunk Friday night as the summer drew to an end
They can’t believe that I just couldn’t leave
And I bid adieu to my friends
Because my bartender she’s from the islands
Her body’s been kissed by the sun
And coconut replaces the smell of the bar and I don’t know if its her or the rum

I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand
Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
Life is good today. Life is good today.

Adios and vaya con dios
A long way from GA
Yes and all the muchachas they call me “big poppa” when I throw pesos their way
Adios and vaya con dios
A long way from GA
Someone do me a favor and pour me some Jaeger
And I’ll grab my guitar and play

Adios and vaya con dios
Going home now to stay
The senoritas don’t care-o when there’s no dinero
You got no money to stay
Adios and vaya con dios
Going home now to stay
Just gonna gonna drive up by the lake

With my ass in a lawn chair
And toes in the clay
Not a worry in the world a PBR on the way
Life is good today. Life is good today.

Zac Brown Band – Uncaged

Gonna lift to the great wide open
Wanna set my spirit free
Won’t stop till I reach the ocean
Gonna break these chains holding me
Uncaged

Gonna swim in the coldest river
Gonna drink from a mountain spring
Deep in the land of the great wide open
Let the water roll all over me
Uncaged

Oh, wanna swim in the sunshine
And every day find a way to face my fears
Oh, wanna get in the wind

Gonna take every chance I’m given
Feel the wind through the open plains
Freedom is a gift, get livin
Go chase that sunset highway down
You got to get uncaged!

ZAC BROWN BAND – Sic 'Em On A Chicken

Sic ‘em on a chicken.
Sic ‘em on a chicken.
Sic ‘em on a chicken and watch them feathers fly

Sic ‘em on a chicken.
Sic ‘em on a chicken.
Sic ‘em on a chicken.
Bring out the butter and the flour we’re ready to fry.

My dog Pete is the smallest dog of all the dogs in my yard
He’s a mean son’ bitch
Drinks Beam and water from a broken mason jar

Sic ‘em on a chicken.
Sic ‘em on a chicken.
Sic ‘em on a chicken and watch them feathers fly

Sic ‘em on a chicken.
Sic ‘em on a chicken.
Sic ‘em on a chicken.
Bring out the butter and the flour we’re ready to fry.

I heard this awful noise coming from the woods
I heard chicken screams
Know it ain’t gonna be good

Well I think we lost the chicken
Think we lost the chicken
Think we lost the chicken because I just heard him cry

Think we lost the chicken
Think we lost the chicken
Think we lost the chicken but you can get another one for a dollar 79

In a couple of years his spurs have grown
He wasn’t safe to keep around the house
When he almost took an eyeball from Lonny’s son
And I was sitting at home making fig preserves
And I’d seen where that rooster kicked him in the eye
And I knew that that was the day that chicken was going to get what he deserved

So I chased the chicken
I chased the chicken
I chased the chicken and Pete hit ‘em from the side

I chased the chicken
I chased the chicken
I chased the chicken and me and Pete suppered on a home made chicken pot pie

Sic ‘em on a chicken.
Sic ‘em on a chicken.
Sic ‘em on a chicken and watch them feathers fly

Sic ‘em on a chicken
Get that chicken
I can smell the kitchen and it’s almost supper time

Zac Brown Band – Smoke Rise

She was something in her formative years
She’d hide her accent, it would reappear
When she would brag on what Daddy Bought last night
Only pretty girls were in that crowd
They’d tease a handful of poor kids out loud
And even then I knew it wasn’t right

Smoke rises,
You were never kind
Good news,
I’ve left you all behind
Some who
Hoped that it would last
Smoke rise, I’m glad you’re in my past

Most of the kids were better than me
Or at least they thought so,
And it was plain to see
That children are cruel
And I didn’t have a fighting chance
I wasn’t a jock, I wasn’t a brain
We weren’t well-off and Mama couldn’t explain
Why no one would take a poor boy to the dance

Smoke rises,
You were never kind
Good news,
I’ve left you all behind
Some who,
Hoped that it would last
Smoke rise, I’m glad you’re in my past

Those bold rich kids find it hard to embrace
When they bus black kids in from all over the place
The county tried to prove their schools were all the same
Old Jim Crow tried to integrate
But in the South its hard to relate
When Grandpa used the n-word with no shame

Oh, Smoke rises,
You were never kind
Good news,
I’ve left you all behind
Some who,
Hoped that it would last
Smoke rise, I’m glad you’re in my past

Zac Brown Band – Overnight

Zac Brown Band – Quiet Your Mind

I hear the waves
Sun beatin’ down on my shoulders
It’s a near-perfect day
Wishin’ I wouldn’t get any older
They say that it’s gone ’fore you know it now

Quiet your mind
Soak it all in
It’s a game you can’t win
Enjoy the ride

I feel the change
Goin’ on all around me
It’s strange
How I’m taken and guided
Where I end up right I’m needed to be

Quiet your mind
Soak it all in
It’s a game you can’t win
Enjoy the ride

At the end of the water
A red sun is risin’
And the stars are all goin’ away
And if you’re too busy talkin’
You’re not busy listenin’
To hear what the land has to say

Quiet your mind

I hear the waves
Sun beatin’ down on my shoulders
It’s a near-perfect day
Wishin’ I wouldn’t get any older
They say that it’s gone ’fore you know it and
Soak it all in
It’s a game you can’t win
Enjoy the ride

Zac Brown Band – Settle Me Down

A man’s blood runs hot
As high as the temple will go
Though we can deny our nature, baby
It makes us less in control

There’s a beautiful lady who breaks in the sand
With secrets that she only knows
Oh she gives and she takes with each wave that she makes
And it’s to her that I must go

Cause she settle me down
Settle me down
Oh won’t you settle me down
The coolest fever in my blood
Oh won’t you settle me down
C’mon

Oh it’s not my style
To be afraid
Of what evil men gon’ do
And I won’t live in fear
I know why I’m here
Yeah, I’m sheltered and watched after too

‘Cause these people put on the fine business suits
And they step on your face ’til they’re going
Oh, the money, the cursin’, when it’s time for the hearse
Only bankers and lawyers are showin’

Come and settle me down
Settle me down
Oh won’t you settle me down
The coolest fever in my blood
Oh won’t you settle me down

Bye, bye, bye, bye

Hey boys,
Listen right here.
This ain’t ever gonna get on country radio
I’m tellin’ ya’
You gotta change your style

C’mon

Settle me down
Settle me down
Oh won’t you settle me down
The coolest fever in my blood
Oh won’t you settle me down

Settle me down
Settle me down
Oh won’t you settle me down
The coolest fever in my blood

Settle me down
Settle me down
Oh won’t you settle me down
The coolest fever in my blood
Oh won’t you settle me down

Zac Brown Band – Oh My Sweet Carolina

I went down to Houston
And I stopped in San ’Antone
I passed up the station for the bus
I was trying to find me something
But I wasn’t sure just what
Man I ended up with pockets full of dust

And I went down to Cleveland, that’s where I went insane
I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance
I was spending money like the way it likes to rain
Man I ended up with pockets full of cane

Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go?
Oh my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home

Never been to Vegas, but I gambled up my life
Though the newsprint boats are raced in sewer mains
Was trying to find me something but I wasn’t sure just what
Funny how they say that ”some things never change”

Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go?
Oh my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home

And out here in the city seems like things are closing in
The sunset’s just my light bulb burning out
I miss Kentucky and I miss my family
All the sweetest winds they blow across the South

Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go?
Oh my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home
May you one day carry me home.

Zac Brown Band – Natural Disaster

Had lips like candy
Hair floated like water
Skin like velvet made
The whole damn world slow down
She was a preacher’s daughter
Never did what daddy taught her
And the rebel in her soul
Brought her to me

The river was cold
And the river was wide
She flowed from the mountain
Straight across the great divide
And her heart ran cold
But her love runs deep
She’s fire on the mountain
Wrecking everyone she meets

She’s like rain when she rolls in
But that sunshine in her thunder
Makes the loneliest heart wonder
If the ride is worth the pain
Might not be storm clouds inside
Oh but don’t you worry friend
She’s coming around the bend
She’s holding lightning in both hands

Lord please know
It’s not time for me to go
The river has my heart
She’s the keeper of my soul
On one side of the water
Sweet everlasting grace
The other side could end your life
Or steal your breath away

She’s like rain when she rolls in
But that sunshine in her thunder
Makes the loneliest heart wonder
If the ride is worth the pain
Might not be storm clouds inside
Oh but don’t you worry friend
She’s coming around the bend
She’s holding lightning in both hands

She’s a natural disaster
She’ll tear the land in two
She’s running to be running
Cause it’s all she knows to do
She’s a tumbleweed rolling
A river running wild
A hurricane blowing
She’s the calm after the storm
Under an Appalachian sunset sky

She’s like rain when she rolls in
But that sunshine in her thunder
Makes the loneliest heart wonder
If the ride is worth the pain
Might not be storm clouds inside
Oh but don’t you worry friend
She’s coming around the bend
She’s holding lightning in both hands

She’s like rain
She rolls in
But there’s sunshine in her thunder
She’s coming around the band
She’s holding lightning in both hands

Zac Brown Band – Nothing

Cried all night when you told me that I’d lost you
I died inside as I watched you walk away
And all this time I didn’t doubt your reasons
But I can’t heal what you can’t replace

But now I sleep like a baby,
And all my dreams come true
‘Cause the rest of my life has nothing to do with you

Pulled up my favorite chair at my favorite tavern
I turned to see you standing there with envy in your eyes
And I saved your life from 13 years of anger
But I broke every bone on the way home swinging at the sky

Now I sleep like a baby,
And all my dreams come true
‘Cause the rest of my life has nothing to do with you

Stumbled in to find you cryin’ in the kitchen
I argued with a broken heart and fabricated pride
And the battle raged for hours, but I didn’t have the power
To make you understand so you turned and said goodbye

Now I sleep like a baby,
And all my dreams come true
‘Cause the rest of my life has nothing to do with you

Now I sleep like a baby
And all my dreams come true
‘Cause a rest of my life has zero to do, zero to do, zero to do with you

Zac Brown Band – Make This Day

I passed out last night and I never made it home.
Wound up on a bus to San Antone.
My head hurts bad and I ain’t wearing shoes.
Going to find my wallet and my way home to you.

We’re gonna make this day.
A little better than the last.
It’s amazing how slow days like this can go.
Find a way to wash away.
Any regret you have don’t let this moment pass.
Live inside this day.

I got cuffs on my hands.
Chains on my feet.
Got locked up for the second time this week.
And I know I make you cry but girl my love is true.
Going to find my wallet and my way back home to you.

We’re gonna make this day.
A little better than the last.
It’s amazing how slow days like this can go.
Find a way to wash away.
Any regret you have don’t let this moment pass.
Live inside this day.

Now I’m back on the street.
Thumb in the air.
Don’t know how the hell that I got here.
But I’m gonna hitch that ride.
If it’s the last thing I do.
Gonna find that wallet and bring it home to you.

We’re gonna make this day.
A little better than the last.
Know don’t you let this life come whoop your…
Find a way to wash away.
And regret you have.

Zac Brown Band – Martin

He was born in the woods
Torn from his home.
Well, he was naked,
And destined
To be out on his own.
And he waited in darkness,
Hoping someone might see,
From something so rough,
What a treasure he’d be.

Stronger than steel and wood.
Seen me through the bad and good.
And when I’m hanging by a string,
Every little thing
Is understood
Between Martin and me.

Well he’s hollow in the middle
From the shape that he’s in.
He’s either filled up with music
Or locked in his shell again.
And it takes some fine tuning
To make him come around,
But he’s a huge piece of me
And I’ll never put him down.

Stronger than steel and wood.
Seen me through the bad and good.
And when I’m hanging by a string,
Every little thing
Is understood
Between Martin and me.

He is a good friend,
And he has his own voice.
And you get what you give;
Sometimes it’s just noise.
But if you treat him well
He will last your life long.
And if you’re honest and open
Well, he will write you a song.
(Write you a song, write you a song)

Stronger than steel and wood.
Seen me through the bad and good.
And when I’m hanging by a string,
Every little thing
Is understood
And when I’m hanging by a string,
Every little thing
Is understood
Between Martin and me.

ZAC BROWN BAND – Mary

Mary, Mary, why you want to do me this way?
I was dumb enough not to settle down when you wanted to
Now I’m sittin’ here going crazy trying to crawl back to you
Mary, Mary, why you want to do me this way?

But I was smart enough to come to my senses
Be who you need me to be
And if you say that I’m too late
I’ll curl up and die in misery
Mary, Mary, why you want to do me this way

I remember our first kiss on the 4th of July
I’ll never miss another one of those
I’ll be by your side

If my foolish heart was wrong,
this truly was never meant to be
Well I only hope that he’ll count his lucky stars
and love you as much as me

Mary, Mary, why you want to do me this way [3x]

Zac Brown Band – Keep Me In Mind

How come all the pretty girls like you are taken baby
I’ve been looking for someone like you to save me
Life’s too easy to be so damn complicated
Take your time and I’ll be waitin’

Keep me in mind
Somewhere down the road you might get lonely
Keep me in mind
And I pray someday that you will love me only

I think about you somedays
And the way I would lay and waste a day after day with you
We always go our separate ways
But no one can love you baby the way I do

Keep me in mind
Somewhere down the road you might get lonely
Keep me in mind
And I pray someday that you will love me only

Well the world can be real tough
Find shelter in me
If there’s no one else to love
Keep me in mind

If ever you wanted me, I’ll be your man
I’d be a fool to let you go with someone else
Whatever you want from me, I’ll be your man
I’d give it all up just to have you for myself

Keep me in mind
Somewhere down the road you might get lonely
Keep me in mind
And I pray someday that you will love me only

Well the world can be real tough
Why don’t you hold on to me
When there’s no one else to love
Keep me in mind
(Keep me in mind)
And I’ll hold you darling
(Keep me in mind)
I’ll be your man
(Keep me in mind)
I’ll hold you darling
(Keep me in mind)
C’mon little mama
Put it on me
