Thirty Miles West
Thirty Miles West Tracks

(Chris Stapleton, Terry McBride)
Let me just say for the sake of conversation
If there’s such a thing as reincarnation
Don’t you go crying for me when I’m gone
'Cause I’m gonna come back as a country song
(Chorus)
I’ll be playing all night in every honky tonk bar
In the middle of a fiddle and a steel guitar
I’m hoping when the good Lord calls me home
I’m gonna come back as a country song
Yeah I’d have to say it’d be Heaven to me
Watching neon lights for eternity
So go ahead and put it on my headstone
Yeah I’m gonna come back as a country song
(Chorus)
So here I am on my stool tonight
Yeah I’m practicing up for the afterlife
'Cause when I’m nothin' but a pile of bones
I’m gonna come back as a country song
(Chorus)
I'm hoping when the good Lord calls me home
I'm gonna come back as a country song

All you pretty bags are packed
Forever sure did go by fast
I hope you find the skies are blue
The grass is green and the road is smooth
(Chorus)
You go your way c'est la vie sweet baby
Here's hoping that you don't hate me
Who knows you might just maybe miss me out there
It ain't about who's right or wrong
Love dies and life goes on
Had a good thing but now it's long gone baby
You go your way and I'll go crazy
(Chorus)
I poured some bourbon in a coffee cup
It's been too long since I drank too much
So here's to me and here's to the moon
And here's to love that ends to soon
(Chorus)
Yeah it ain't about who's right or wrong
Love dies and life goes on
Had a good thing but now it's long gone baby
You go your way and I'll go crazy
I'll go crazy

It’s hard to describe
You’re like nothing I’ve ever known in my life
Kindness flowing from down deep inside your eyes
So selfless and complete
Beauty in and out
All around you not a single cloud
Like the rain just stops before it hits ground
And puddles at your feet
(Chorus)
You’re an angel
I know heaven wonders where you are
Like you fell off some ol' shining star
Right into my heart
An angel
When I’m with you I feel like a king
Just like out of some old movie scene
An angel
Everything but the wings
Looking at you
It’s hard to believe that you could feel the way I do
I never thought I’d find so much love to fall into
Or perfect or true
So never go away
If heaven calls you back just ask if you can stay
I'd never find someone to ever take your place
You know they only made a few
(Chorus)
Everything but the wings
An angel
Everything but the wings

Talk about life, talk about death
Talk about catchin' every breath
Talk about when and talk about why
Talk about do, talk about don't
Talk about will and talk about won't
Talk about the sweet by and by
(Chorus)
Well talk is cheap and time's a wastin'
Get busy livin' or at least die tryin'
Wine's for tastin', road's for takin'
Talk is cheap and time's a wastin'
Talk about right, talk about wrong
Talk about tryin' to get along
Talk about the way it oughta be
Talk about now, talk about then
Talk about everywhere you've been
Talk about bein' free
(Chorus x2)

I'll be the bad guy, I'll take the black eye
When I walk out, you can slam the door
I'll be the S.O.B, if that's what you need from me
So you don't have to love me anymore
When you and our friends talk, make it all my fault
Tell em' I'm rotten to the core
I'll let it all slide, get 'em all on your side
So you don't have to love me anymore
(Chorus)
I will keep all those memories of the good times
Yeah, there were some good times
So when you think of you and me
They won't even cross your mind
If the wine you're drinking leads you to thinking
That you want what we had before
Girl you can call me, I'll let it ring and ring
So you don't have to love me anymore
(Chorus)
If you need me to make you cry
I don't want to but I'll try
So you don't have to love me anymore

You're asking me to tell you
How to deal with that old flame
When you see her out there
You still feel the same
How she ripped out your whole heart
And took it with her when she left
You're face to face now looking at her
And she's holding on to somebody else
(Chorus)
Tell her you don't love her
And tell her you don't care
Tell her you don't need her
And you don't miss her there
Give her that cold shoulder
And say you never cried
Just look her in the eye and lie
You may not get over
Some loves in your life
But as you'll get over
You'll know wrong more than right
You might get lucky
And those feelings fade away
Chances are they'll come back around
You'll be ready now with just what to say
(Chorus x 2)

(Chorus)
I was born on the Dixie Highway
Red clay and Georgia Pines
I was raised on the Dixie Highway
No sweeter place you'll ever find
A wood frame house and gravel driveway
Willow trees, an old front porch
Just outside the city limits
Down ol' Highway 34
(Chorus)
Had rabbit tobacco rolling on the roadside
Rolled it up and we smoked it down
It don't do much but it makes you feel big
When you're ten years old in a tiny town
(Chorus)
Have a chicken pen right in the backyard
Clothes line running east to west
Butter bean and tomato garden
Six days and a Sunday rest
(Chorus)
Summertime, hot and hazy
Bare feet and a water hose
Melon rinds on a concrete table
Lighting bugs when the sun goes down
(Chorus)
The Holy Ghost on a Sunday morning
Gospel songs and the bible read
Sunday lunch at Mama's table
Thank the Lord and break the bread
(Chorus)
Had a screened in porch right at the backdoor
A washing machine and an old wood stove
Mama's singing in the kitchen
Rollin' homemade biscuit dough
(Chorus)
When I'm old, heaven's calling
And they come to carry me away
Just lay me down, down in South Land
Bury me in the Georgia Clay
Yeah I was born on the Dixie Highway
Red clay and Georgia Pines
I was raised on the Dixie Highway
No sweeter place you'll ever find
No sweeter place you'll ever find
No sweeter place you'll ever find

She used to get her fix
Just one little kiss or a touch
Could send her over the edge
I'd keep her up making love all night
Had the stuff to make her feel alright
But now she won't go near that ledge
(Chorus)
She don't get high anymore
I don't make her fly like before
Her heart is out there soaring somewhere else
I'm not the song that she sings
Oh I can't give her those wings
Hard as I try I'm not the sky she's looking for
She don't get high anymore
I remember when she used to breathe me in
Back then she couldn't get enough
We'd lay looking up at the clouds
I thought we'd never come down
She said my love was like some kind of drug
(Chorus)
But she don't get high anymore
I don't make her fly like before
Her heart is out there soaring somewhere else
Oh I'm not the dream that she dreams
I can't give her those wings
Hard as I try I'm not the sky she's looking for
She don't get high anymore
Oh, I'm not the song that she sings
Oh I can't give her those wings
Hard as I try I'm not the sky she's looking for
She don't get high anymore
She don't get high anymore
She don't get high anymore
She don't get high
She don't get high on me anymore
No she don't get high anymore

She loves the music
It tells the tales of her heart
And she listens closely
To the beat and the parts
She likes the songs that make her cry
The ones that pick her up and make her high
(Chorus)
She likes the hip-hop
She loves to rock it
She's got country on her iPod on her pocket
She loves the guitar
She likes the fiddle
She even likes the ones where they just talk in rhyme and riddles
And she sings along as she's driving home
Knowing all along
Her life's a song
And she likes the songs that take her back
Make her warm
Sometimes she just wants to dance
And move on
She taps her feet or sheds a tear
Plays air guitar or raises a beer
(Chorus)
At times it seems they know just how she feels
A broken heart or a love song that kills
(Chorus x2)
Yeah her life's a song
Yeah her life's a song
She sings along 'cause her life's a song

No candle light no wine
No plans and that's just fine
Just put your hand in mine
Nothin' fancy
Don't need no party dress
I like you just like this
Just like the night we met
Nothin' fancy
(Chorus)
Girl this is everything
I'm looking for
There's nothing you could do
To make me want you more
So I hope it's still okay
That when I feel this way
I love you is all I say
Nothin' fancy
(Chorus)
So I hope it's still okay
That when I feel this way
I love you is all I say
Nothin' fancy

Well I drove down to the ocean
Left my heartache way behind
But the rain won't leave and the pain won't ease
And the sun don't wanna shine
So I ordered me up a killer
Found a view out across the sea
I sat down in the sand, a drink in my hand
And the glass lookin' back at me
(Chorus)
I got a bug in my Margarita
Seems bad luck won't leave me alone
I got a woman I'm trying to drink away
And I got a long, long way to go
Yeah I got a long, long way to go
Well I met an ol' boy from Georgia
Yeah his woman done knocked him down
When I asked him how he's doing
He stared at me confused and said,
"Hey, ain't you look around"
He said "The rain won't leave and the pain won't ease
And the sun don't wanna shine"
"And there's something in the bottom of this drink I've just got
And it don't look like a worm to me"
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
So we put our drinks together and toasted rainy weather
And the women that had done us wrong
Then we threw back margaritas, the bug just made it sweeter
And we both sang a happy song
(Chorus x3)
Yeah, I got a long, long way to go

Well I'm the poorest ol' boy that you will ever seen
Life keeps bringin' me down
Whenever I try livin' above my means
Life keeps bringin' me down
(Chorus)
Yeah life keeps bringin' me down
Blues keep comin' around
Hard living's gonna be the death of me
Life keeps bringin' me down
When the clouds roll in and the sun won't shine
Life keeps bringin' me down
Now my dollar bill ain't worth a dime
Life keeps bringin' me down
(Chorus)
Yeah life keeps bringin' me down
Big tears drops hittin' the ground
Well it won't stop raining on this heart of mine
Life keeps bringin' me down
Yeah I hate to wake up when the morning comes
Life keeps bringin' me down
But I drink a pot of coffee and I'm on the run
Life keeps bringin' me down
(Chorus)
Yeah life keeps bringin' me down
The world keeps a spinnin' around
Yeah that old rat race it ain't no fun
Life keeps bringin' me down
I got a mountain of debt
To crawl out from under
Life keeps bringin' me down
But one of these days I'm gonna hit the numbers
Life keeps bringin' me down
(Chorus)
Yeah life keeps bringin' me down
I'm broke right down to the ground
Man it's been a bummer the whole dang summer
Life keeps bringin' me down
Yeah life keeps bringin' me down

Ain't it funny how in a minute
Your whole life's lookin' fine
And a short few words later
It all just comes untied
You can't believe you're lookin at
What was always someone else
Now it's starin' right there at you
Yesterday you couldn't tell
So shocked and dissolutioned
Helpless and confused
Not knowing how and what to say
Not accepting that it's true
You can't help but see the worst to come
In a thousand different ways
At the same time trying to hold a strong
And optimistic gaze
(Chorus)
When I saw you leaving
When I saw you leaving
When I saw you leaving
In my mind
Then the anger starts to surface
Lookin' up asking why
Then you realize he probably wants the best
The same as I
v The days just go by quickly
The nights just never end
As time gets so more precious
Every sunrise an old friend
Trying to be a post to lean on
A part you learn that's hard to play
Asking god to let you take her place
Or just take it all away
(Chorus)
Hope you wake up in the morning
And it has all just been a dream
And you'll never take for granted
Every second that you breathe
(Chorus)
Then the seconds turn to minutes
The minutes wouldn't last
And the hours, days and weeks and months
Seem endless and too fast
Then the blessings poured from heaven
Like the rain on that first Spring
Since that moment I first thought
You might not always be with me
(Chorus)
Ain't it funny how how one minute
Your whole life's lookin' fine
Then a short few words later
It all just comes untied
