I catch my buzz in the black of night

Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows

If I loose my cool in the open and shows

That I'm down and I ain't alright

I search my soul where there is no moon

The trees all cross and are covered in moss

If the crickets wanna know then I'll tell 'em what I lost

Oh I've got the tailgate blues

I ain't sure where it all began

Somewhere out here I know

This bridge was a little more crowded

Than I was playing a tailgate show

Now I'm just sitting here alone

To catch my buzz in the black of night

Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows

If I loose my cool in the open and shows

That I'm down and I ain't alright

I search my soul where there is no moon

The trees all cross and are covered in moss

If the crickets wanna know then I'll tell 'em what I lost

Oh I've got the tailgate blues

Damn that AM radio for playing more than a song

My heart won't beat if the strings are broke

The melody's hittin' me wrong

Right here where she belongs

I catch my buzz in the black of night

Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows

If I loose my cool in the open and shows

That I'm down and I ain't alright

I search my soul where there is no moon

The trees all cross and are covered in moss

If the crickets wanna know then I'll tell 'em what I lost

Oh I've got the tailgate blues

The crickets heard my story

And I listened to them sing

Yes I closed the tailgate up

Ain't no telling what tomorrow might bring

Maybe me and a dixie cup

That won't be enough

Yes I catch my buzz in the black of night

Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows

If I loose my cool in the open and shows

That I'm down and I ain't alright

I search my soul where there is no moon

The trees all cross and are covered in moss

If the crickets wanna know then I'll tell 'em what I lost

Oh I've got the tailgate blues

I catch my buzz in the black of night

Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows

If I loose my cool in the open and shows

That I'm down and I ain't alright
