Small town, big town
All got a hometown
Two-lane, six-lane
All got a memory lane
New friends, old friends
Couple or a bunch of them
Beer can, Jack man
Love getting drunk with them
Got some angels, got our demons
Got some don't got a reasons
We all wanna know what we're made for
Is this the right road, is that the right door?
Who we're meant to be or meant to be more
Are we the sun or are we the storm?
For every unknown, one thing's for sure
We've all been living since the day we were born
Born, born
I want to be myself, wanna be anybody else
No ring, no strings
Then I'll want the whole thing
Heart bent, heart broke
Been a little bit of both
Keeping it simple ain't simple, hell no
We all wanna know what we're made for
Is this the right road, is that the right door?
Who we're meant to be or meant to be more
Are we the sun or are we the storm?
For every unknown, one thing's for sure
We've all been living since the day we were born
For the spotlight, born for the neon
Red dirt, white sand, born to put our feet on
Born to be wild, to smile, to dance
Born to die trying to leave a good stamp down here, down here
What does life and love and truth all mean?
Are we making it harder than it has to be?
Am I making it harder than it has to be?
We all wanna know what we're made for
Is this the right road, is that the right door?
Who we're meant to be or meant to be more
Are we the sun or are we the storm?
For every unknown, one thing's for sure
We've all been living since the day we were born
All been living since the day we were born
For the spotlight, born for the neon
Red dirt, white sand, born to put our feet on
Born to be wild, to smile, to dance
Born to die trying to leave a good stamp down here, down here, down here

Just To Say We Did
Drove from Knoxville to Myrtle Beach
Seven buddies in an old RV
Beer cooler and no AC
Just to say we did
That night we climbed up Chimney Rock
Knowin' it was a real long drop
Three, two, one, we jumped off
Just to say we did
Never had no rhyme or reason why
It just seemed like the thing to do at the time
Just to say we did
Just to feel alive
To take a leap of faith
To feel that kind of high
Tonight let's turn it up
Fall in love a while then catch enough buzz
To just ride them crazy horses
Runnin' through our heads
Just to say we did
She said, "I'd never seen the Vegas lights
Spun the wheel or roll the dice"
We doubled down on crazy night
Just to say we did
We didn't have no rhyme or reason why
It just seemed like the thing to do at the time
Just to say we did
Just to feel alive
To take a leap of faith
To feel that kind of high
Tonight let's turn it up
Fall in love a while then catch enough buzz
To just ride them crazy horses
Runnin' through our heads
Just to say we did
Just to say we did
So let's raise our hands up to the sky
Stay on this roller coaster ride
Just to say we did
Just to feel alive
Let's take a leap of faith
To feel that kind of high
Tonight let's turn it up
Fall in love a while then catch enough buzz
To just ride them crazy horses
Runnin' through our heads
Just to say we did
Just to say we did
Just to say we did
Seven buddies in an old RV
Beer cooler and no AC
Just to say we did
That night we climbed up Chimney Rock
Knowin' it was a real long drop
Three, two, one, we jumped off
Just to say we did
Never had no rhyme or reason why
It just seemed like the thing to do at the time
Just to say we did
Just to feel alive
To take a leap of faith
To feel that kind of high
Tonight let's turn it up
Fall in love a while then catch enough buzz
To just ride them crazy horses
Runnin' through our heads
Just to say we did
She said, "I'd never seen the Vegas lights
Spun the wheel or roll the dice"
We doubled down on crazy night
Just to say we did
We didn't have no rhyme or reason why
It just seemed like the thing to do at the time

Just to feel alive

Take Her Home
Downtown looks like it's New Year's Eve
You find some bar you can halfway breathe
TouchTunes some old deep-cut Cheap Trick
Got your girl singin' every word of it
So you bring a couple shots of chilled Patron
To the prettiest thing that you ever hit on
And somehow she ain't got a boyfriend
So you make her laugh all night and then
Take her home, fall in love
Thank the good Lord up above
That He sent one down into your arms
And put a chain around your raise-hell heart
You try to play it cool walkin' through the door
But you're smilin' like a fool 'cause you can't wait for
Them down-the-road memories you're bound to make
And you will one day take her home
Got a stuffed truck sittin' in the driveway
In the back, there's a black and a pink suitcase
She can't stop sayin' she's freakin' out
You say, "Baby, you ain't got nothin' to worry about"
Then you hold her hand, kiss her one time
And throw it in drive
And take her home, and fall in love
Thank the good Lord up above
That He sent one down into your arms
And put a chain around your raised-hell heart
You try to play it cool walkin' through the door
But you're smilin' like a fool 'cause you can't wait for
Them down-the-road memories you're bound to make
And you will one day take her home
Take her home
Sometimes God draws life like a dream
Paints you a seven-pound five-ounce scene
In a car seat creepin' down the interstate
Two young lovers that are scared to death but still can't wait
To take her home, fall in love
Thank the good Lord up above
That He sent one down into your arms
And put a chain around your raise-hell heart
You try to play it cool walkin' through the door
But you're smilin' like a fool 'cause you can't wait for
Them down-the-road memories you're bound to make
And you will one day take her home
(Take her home, take her home, take her home)
Take her home
(Take her home, take her home, take her home)
You find some bar you can halfway breathe
TouchTunes some old deep-cut Cheap Trick
Got your girl singin' every word of it
So you bring a couple shots of chilled Patron
To the prettiest thing that you ever hit on
And somehow she ain't got a boyfriend
So you make her laugh all night and then
Take her home, fall in love

Few Good Stories
I'm gonna put a million miles on these cowboy boots
And a real big dent in my revenue
If I ain't done it all, just means I ain't done it yet
When I look back, I don't want to have one single regret
I'm gonna
Soak up the sun, keep the wind in my sails
Try to get to heaven while I raise a little hell
When it's all said and done, I'll know I lived it well
If I ain't got nothing but a few good stories to tell
I'm gonna put a few scratches on this old guitar
I'm gonna sip some good whiskey, smoke a Cuban cigar
I'm gonna dance with my baby to some slow Motown
I'm gonna live it up so much, I ain't ever gon' live it down
I'm gonna
Soak up the sun, keep the wind in my sails
Try to get to heaven while I raise a little hell
When it's all said and done, I'll know I lived it well
If I ain't got nothing but a few good stories to tell
Yeah, gonna be a few crazy ones, might be a few hazy ones
But man, when my days are done, it'll make a good book
'Til then I'll
Soak up the sun, keep the wind in my sails
Try to get to heaven while I raise a little hell
When it's all said and done, I'll know I lived it well
If I ain't got nothing but a few good stories to tell
Soak up the sun, wind in my sails
Try to get to heaven, raise a little hell
Gonna be a few crazy ones
Soak up the sun, wind in my sails
Might be a few hazy ones
Try to get to heaven
Raise a little hell
And a real big dent in my revenue
If I ain't done it all, just means I ain't done it yet
When I look back, I don't want to have one single regret
I'm gonna
Soak up the sun, keep the wind in my sails
Try to get to heaven while I raise a little hell
When it's all said and done, I'll know I lived it well
If I ain't got nothing but a few good stories to tell
I'm gonna put a few scratches on this old guitar
I'm gonna sip some good whiskey, smoke a Cuban cigar
I'm gonna dance with my baby to some slow Motown
I'm gonna live it up so much, I ain't ever gon' live it down
I'm gonna
Soak up the sun, keep the wind in my sails
Try to get to heaven while I raise a little hell
When it's all said and done, I'll know I lived it well
If I ain't got nothing but a few good stories to tell

But man, when my days are done, it'll make a good book
'Til then I'll
Soak up the sun, keep the wind in my sails
Try to get to heaven while I raise a little hell
When it's all said and done, I'll know I lived it well
If I ain't got nothing but a few good stories to tell
Soak up the sun, wind in my sails
Try to get to heaven, raise a little hell
Gonna be a few crazy ones
Soak up the sun, wind in my sails
Might be a few hazy ones
Try to get to heaven
Raise a little hell

Thinkin Bout
This bed I'm makin' and layin' in is gettin' old
I let you in it, we heat it up then you leave it cold
I know we said that there wouldn't be any strings attached
If that's the truth, tell me why do we keep on comin' back?
I'm fallin' in just to fall apart
Might be good for me to stop
Thinkin' 'bout not thinkin' 'bout you
Try to make last night the last time
Instead of doin' what we always do
Oh, it ain't good we can't say goodbye
Easy come, easy go ain't how it goes down
Keeps me doin' what I'm doin' right now
Thinkin' 'bout not thinkin' 'bout you
Thinkin' 'bout not thinkin' 'bout you
Don't know how not to just yet, just know I need to quit
Wreckin' my head like the sheets we keep lyin' in
Yeah, it's still good at all we were good at when you were mine
Almost too good to remember what made us say goodbye
You know it's true, that ain't alright
Might need to spend me some time
Thinkin' 'bout not thinkin' 'bout you
Try to make last night the last time
Instead of doin' what we always do
Oh, it ain't good we can't say goodbye
Easy come, easy go ain't how it goes down
Keeps me doin' what I'm doin' right now
Thinkin' 'bout not thinkin' 'bout you
Thinkin' 'bout not thinkin' 'bout you
You're fallin' in just to fall apart
Might be good for me to stop
Thinkin' 'bout not thinkin' 'bout you
Try to make last night the last time
Instead of doin' what we always do
Oh, it ain't good we can't say goodbye
Easy come, easy go ain't how it goes down
Keeps me doin' what I'm doin' right now
Thinkin' 'bout not thinkin' 'bout you
Thinkin' 'bout not thinkin' 'bout you
Thinkin' 'bout not thinkin' 'bout you
I let you in it, we heat it up then you leave it cold

Guilty Pleasure
I've been starin' at the sunset
Wonderin' if it means what it usually means
If you ain't found the one yet
I can keep being the one between
The man of your dreams, some guy at the bar
I'm a secret you keep, yeah, I know what we are
You can call me on the weekends
When you're bored with your life and you're tired of your friends
You only want me when you're drinkin'
And you got a mistake you wanna make again
You can just text, you don't have to call
You can say that you love me but you don't have to fall
I can be your guilty pleasure and you don't have to feel guilty at all
I don't know your mama
And it's probably better if we keep it that way
Won't be no breakup or drama
When you finally call me up and say
It's been real, yeah, it's been fun
But until whatever we've been doin' is done
You can call me on the weekends
When you're bored with your life and you're tired of your friends
You only want me when you're drinkin'
And you got a mistake you wanna make again
You can just text, you don't have to call
You can say that you love me but you don't have to fall
I can be your guilty pleasure and you don't have to feel guilty at all
No, not at all
A little guilty pleasure never hurt nobody
A little guilty pleasure never hurt nobody, no
You don't have to call
You can say that you love me but you don't have to fall
I can be your guilty pleasure and you don't have to feel guilty at all
No, you don't have to feel guilty at all
A little guilty pleasure never hurt nobody
A little guilty pleasure never hurt nobody, no
Wonderin' if it means what it usually means
If you ain't found the one yet
I can keep being the one between
The man of your dreams, some guy at the bar

You can call me on the weekends
When you're bored with your life and you're tired of your friends
You only want me when you're drinkin'

One More Sunset
Both hands of time keep tickin'
Even if I don't wanna admit it
Can't catch that one more minute once it's gone
I'm like a midnight gambler
Making the most of the moments that matter
That good vibe standard time's the one I'm living on
I've got one more never forget it night
One more look at the morning light
Long as there's a breath in me
I know there'll always be
One more dream to dream on
A sweet summertime drink to drink on
Another one love song to sing
And one more sunset to see
This spinning ball keeps spinning around
That man in the sky keeps setting 'em down
I ain't done yet, I got one more sunset
Pack light, nothing heavy
Top down, always ready
Just like old William said, to thine own self be true
I had a late night too drunk realization
When that love train leaves the station
It ain't slowing down and it ain't waiting around on you
I've got one more never forget it night
One more look at the morning light
Long as there's a breath in me
I know there'll always be
One more dream to dream on
A sweet summertime drink to drink on
Another one love song to sing
And one more sunset to see
This spinning ball keeps spinning around
That man in the sky keeps setting 'em down
I ain't done yet, I got one more sunset
I've got one more sunset, one more sunset
I ain't done yet, I've got one more sunset to see
One more never forget it night
One more look at the morning light
Long as there's a breath in me
I know there'll always be
One more dream to dream on
A sweet summertime drink to drink on
Another one love song to sing
And one more sunset to see
This spinning ball keeps spinning around
That man in the sky keeps setting 'em down
I ain't done yet, I've got one more sunset to see
This spinning ball keeps spinning around (one more sunset)
That man in the sky keeps setting 'em down (one more sunset)
I ain't done yet, I've got one more sunset
Even if I don't wanna admit it
Can't catch that one more minute once it's gone
I'm like a midnight gambler

Top Down
She's been living for the moment
She's been living for the passing feeling
She's been waiting for the night to come undone
She's been swimming in the darkness
She's been holding on to all her reasons
She's been flying like a bullet from a gun
Baby's got the top down
Baby's got her eyes closed
Baby likes the sweet sound of rock and roll
Everybody's got a secret
Everybody's got a deep, dark corner
Everybody's got a place they want to go
She could take you with a sweet kiss
She could leave you there begging for her
She could make you want to come right back for more
Baby's got the top down
Baby's got her eyes closed
Baby likes the sweet sound of rock and roll
Baby's got the top down
Baby's got her eyes closed
Baby likes the sweet sound of rock and roll
And you take her when she comes
And you take her when she goes
And you give her what she wants
No, you never say no
And you take her when she comes
Yeah, you take her nice and slow
And you give her what she wants
No, you never say no
No, you never say no
Baby's got the top down
Baby's got her eyes closed
Baby likes the sweet sound of rock and roll
Baby's got the top down
Baby's got her eyes closed
Baby likes the sweet sound of rock and roll
My baby's got the top down
My baby's got her eyes closed
My baby likes the sweet sound
Of rock and roll
Of rock and roll

The Way I Love You Now
Well, the roads that we have traveled
Have kept us years apart
Remembering a moment
And how it left a mark
Two hearts wounded in passion
This world would not allow
Well, I'm here to make my peace
With the way I love you now
Oh, the way I love you now
Is different than it was
It's in my brokenness
It's what the healing does
Yeah, the way I love you now
Is the man I want to be
To love what I can't have
And finally come to see
I'm grateful for the way I love you now
There've been countless others
To fill my whiskey glass
With questions I can't answer
Questions I don't ask
If reconciliation is the best that we can do
And I knew how it would hurt me
I'd still fall in love with you
Oh, the way I love you now
Is different than it was
It's in my brokenness
It's what the healing does
Yeah, the way I love you now
Is the man I want to be
To love what I can't have
And finally come to see
I'm grateful for the way I love you now
You're with me in the silence
When the night is still and dark
You're with me in the lonely
That never leaves my heart
But it's more than just a memory
Of disappointment and pain
It's the way I love you now
Only forgiveness can explain
Oh, the way I love you now
Is different than it was
It's in my brokenness
It's what the healing does
Yeah, the way I love you now
Is the man I want to be
To love what I can't have
And finally come to see
I'm grateful for the way I love you now
So grateful for the way I love you now
Have kept us years apart
Remembering a moment
And how it left a mark
Two hearts wounded in passion
This world would not allow
Well, I'm here to make my peace
With the way I love you now
Oh, the way I love you now
Is different than it was
It's in my brokenness
It's what the healing does
Yeah, the way I love you now
Is the man I want to be
To love what I can't have
And finally come to see
I'm grateful for the way I love you now
There've been countless others
To fill my whiskey glass
With questions I can't answer
Questions I don't ask
If reconciliation is the best that we can do
And I knew how it would hurt me
I'd still fall in love with you
Oh, the way I love you now
Is different than it was
It's in my brokenness
It's what the healing does
Yeah, the way I love you now
Is the man I want to be
To love what I can't have
And finally come to see
I'm grateful for the way I love you now
You're with me in the silence
When the night is still and dark
You're with me in the lonely
That never leaves my heart
But it's more than just a memory
Of disappointment and pain
It's the way I love you now
Only forgiveness can explain
Oh, the way I love you now
Is different than it was
It's in my brokenness
It's what the healing does
Yeah, the way I love you now
Is the man I want to be
To love what I can't have
And finally come to see
I'm grateful for the way I love you now
So grateful for the way I love you now

This Too Shall Pass
Hopped a plane to the beach
Found myself on a boat
Then the boat hit a rock
Now the boat don't float
Drifted back to shore
Where I met a pretty girl
Aw, but sometimes love's all oyster, no pearl
It's hard to see the full in your half-empty glass
But I'm tellin' y'all, it ain't no bull
This too shall
Pass me a beer, good buddy
'Cause I'm soaked to the bone and my boots are muddy
From walkin' through the rain of life's big storm
Well, I'd shotgun it even if it was warm
How am I doing? Hell, I thought you'd never ask
Cheers, I believe this too shall pass me a beer
Now I'm sittin' here starin' at the bar TV
Nothin' but bad news starin' back at me
Muttered to myself, what the hell's goin' on?
Old-timer in the corner says let me tell ya, son
I got fifty years on ya, man, it goes by fast
Gotta laugh through the tears
And remember, this too shall
Pass me a beer, good buddy
'Cause I'm soaked to the bone and my boots are muddy
From walkin' through the rain of life's big storm
Well, I'd shotgun it even if it was warm
How am I doing? Hell, I thought you'd never ask
Cheers, I believe this too shall pass me a beer
That's the way the world spins
Take the good with the bad
Gotta find you a friend
Don't forget, this too shall
Pass me a beer, good buddy
'Cause I'm soaked to the bone and my boots are muddy
From walkin' through the rain of life's big storm
I'd shotgun it even if it was warm
How am I doing? Hell, I thought you'd never ask
Cheers, I believe this too shall pass me a beer
How am I doing? Hell, I thought you'd never ask
Cheers, I believe this too shall pass

Blame It On The Salt
Hello, what's your name?
Where ya been all my life?
Just playin', just sayin'
We should probably get a couple more drinks, and we can
Write our names up on a Lincoln, tape it up on the wall
And if you get to catchin' feelings, baby, it ain't your fault
You can blame it on the salt sittin' on the rim
Blame it on a song, blame it on him
For breakin' your heart, bringin' you here
To this bar stool and it's all cool
'Cause we've got all night to get it all right
And there ain't nothing wrong
If we blame it on the salt
So let's dance to the band
We're the last two gypsies in this room
Spin you 'round, drop your phone
Spill my drink right next to a neon moon
So sexy and so smooth, the way you laugh it off
What do you say we have a few more? And if we get too gone
We can blame it on the salt sittin' on the rim
Blame it on a song, blame it on him
For breakin' your heart, bringin' you here
To this bar stool and it's all cool
'Cause we've got all night to get it all right
And there ain't nothing wrong
If we blame it on the salt
We've got all the time in the world to fall
But one more round 'fore they shut it down
So baby, before last call
We can blame it on the salt sittin' on the rim
Blame it on a song, blame it on him
For breakin' your heart, bringin' you here
To this bar stool and it's all cool
'Cause we've got all night to get it all right
And there ain't nothing wrong
If we blame it on the salt
Blame it on the salt
Blame it on the salt
Where ya been all my life?
Just playin', just sayin'
We should probably get a couple more drinks, and we can
Write our names up on a Lincoln, tape it up on the wall
And if you get to catchin' feelings, baby, it ain't your fault
You can blame it on the salt sittin' on the rim
Blame it on a song, blame it on him
For breakin' your heart, bringin' you here

Come Here Go Away
Come here, go away
Oh, we're like a broken record
A wore out sweatshirt, faded heart out on your sleeve
We love and we hate what we're doing to each other
Under covers, messing up more than the sheets
We say it's over
And then we say, why don't you come on over?
And we get lost and drink too much
Then we morning after think too much
And I want my freedom
I get hung up on the company that you're keeping
We never stay, never leave, never say what we mean
Never mean what we say
Come here, go away
Come here, go away
Maybe I'm the wrong or right man
Phone buzzin' on your nightstand
Just like I am, just like you are
Don't get too close but let's go too far
And baby, we say it's over
And then we say, why don't you come on over?
And we get lost and drink too much
Then we morning after think too much
And you want your freedom
But you get hung up on the company that I'm keeping
We never stay, never leave, never say what we mean
Never mean what we say
Come here, go away
Broke hearts break hearts and we're proving it
Broke hearts break hearts and we keep on doing it
When we say it's over
And then we say, why don't you come on over?
And we get lost and drink too much
Then we morning after think too much
And we want our freedom
But we get hung up on the company that we're keeping
We never stay, never leave, never say what we mean
Never mean what we say
Come here, go away
Come here, come here
Come here, come here, go away
Oh, we're like a broken record
A wore out sweatshirt, faded heart out on your sleeve
We love and we hate what we're doing to each other
Under covers, messing up more than the sheets
We say it's over
And then we say, why don't you come on over?
And we get lost and drink too much
Then we morning after think too much
And I want my freedom
I get hung up on the company that you're keeping
We never stay, never leave, never say what we mean
Never mean what we say
Come here, go away
Come here, go away
Maybe I'm the wrong or right man
Phone buzzin' on your nightstand
Just like I am, just like you are
Don't get too close but let's go too far
And baby, we say it's over

One Lonely Island
There's people everywhere
Yeah, but we don't see 'em there
Lost in each other's stare
This might be nothing, but
This might be serious
Yeah, we're both curious
You ain't gotta say it, I recognize
The hungry heart that's in your eyes
And alone tonight is one lonely island
We've both been drifting out to sea
I'll rescue you, you rescue me
We don't have to be one lonely island
On one lonely island
One lonely island
This is undeniable
I'm so excitable
Yeah, we're both vulnerable
My imagination's full
You ain't gotta say it, I recognize
The hungry heart that's in your eyes
And alone tonight is one lonely island
We've both been drifting out to sea
I'll rescue you, you rescue me
We don't have to be one lonely island
On one lonely island
One lonely island
I know you're feeling what I'm feeling
We both could use a night of healing
You ain't gotta say it, I recognize
The hungry heart that's in your eyes
And alone tonight is one lonely island
We've both been drifting out to sea
I'll rescue you, you rescue me
We don't have to be one lonely island
On one lonely island
One lonely island
One lonely island
One lonely island
One lonely island
One lonely island
One lonely island
Yeah, but we don't see 'em there
Lost in each other's stare
This might be nothing, but
This might be serious
Yeah, we're both curious
You ain't gotta say it, I recognize
The hungry heart that's in your eyes
And alone tonight is one lonely island
We've both been drifting out to sea
I'll rescue you, you rescue me
We don't have to be one lonely island
On one lonely island
One lonely island
This is undeniable

Long Gone
Beat up some old cars
Banged on some guitars
Burned up a lot of miles
Met me some reasons
Some pretty reasons
To stick around for a while
But if you know me
You know I'll be
Long gone and still going
What good are wheels if they ain't a'rolling?
I'm a southern wind blowing
Long gone and still going
Love where I come from
Sometimes I miss it some
Some kinda bad some days
Might circle back around
Say hey and peace out
But I can never stay in one place
I'm long gone and still going
What good are wheels if they ain't a'rolling?
I'm a southern wind blowing
Long gone and still going
And if you know me
You know I'll be
I'll always be
Long gone, still going
What good are wheels if they ain't a'rolling?
I'm a southern wind blowing
Long gone
Long gone and still going
What good are wheels if they ain't a'rolling?
I'm a southern wind blowing
Long gone and still going
Still going
Still going
Banged on some guitars
Burned up a lot of miles
Met me some reasons
Some pretty reasons
To stick around for a while
But if you know me
You know I'll be
Long gone and still going
What good are wheels if they ain't a'rolling?
I'm a southern wind blowing
Long gone and still going
Love where I come from
Sometimes I miss it some
Some kinda bad some days
Might circle back around
Say hey and peace out
But I can never stay in one place
I'm long gone and still going
What good are wheels if they ain't a'rolling?
I'm a southern wind blowing
Long gone and still going
And if you know me
You know I'll be
I'll always be
Long gone, still going
What good are wheels if they ain't a'rolling?
I'm a southern wind blowing
Long gone
Long gone and still going
What good are wheels if they ain't a'rolling?
I'm a southern wind blowing
Long gone and still going
Still going
Still going

Wherever You Are Tonight
Don't know where I was when I first heard
That you had left for parts unknown
I struggled some to find the word
To convince myself that you were gone
If where we go defies all explanation
In all my pain, there came a revelation
Hearts will break, we cry, we grieve
We die, we go but never leave
We linger in the lives of those we love
We're flesh and bone and beams of light
A body breaks, a soul takes flight
And faith is left to heal what tears can't touch
You're not gone, just out of sight
You're here with me, wherever you are tonight
I am better now for who you were
You always found the truth in me
More patient than this world deserves
Everything a friend should be
If heaven is our final destination
The love we leave behind is our salvation
Hearts will break, we cry, we grieve
We die, we go but never leave
We linger in the lives of those we love
We're flesh and bone and beams of light
A body breaks, a soul takes flight
And faith is left to heal what tears can't touch
You're not gone, just out of sight
You're here with me, wherever you are tonight
We're flesh and bone and beams of light
A body breaks, a soul takes flight
Faith is left to heal what tears can't touch
You're not gone, just out of sight
You're here with me, wherever you are tonight
That you had left for parts unknown
I struggled some to find the word
To convince myself that you were gone
If where we go defies all explanation
In all my pain, there came a revelation
Hearts will break, we cry, we grieve
We die, we go but never leave
We linger in the lives of those we love
We're flesh and bone and beams of light
A body breaks, a soul takes flight
And faith is left to heal what tears can't touch
You're not gone, just out of sight
You're here with me, wherever you are tonight
I am better now for who you were
You always found the truth in me
More patient than this world deserves
Everything a friend should be
If heaven is our final destination
The love we leave behind is our salvation
Hearts will break, we cry, we grieve
We die, we go but never leave

You're not gone, just out of sight

You're not gone, just out of sight
You're here with me, wherever you are tonight

Born is the 20th studio album by American country music singer Kenny Chesney.
In an interview with American Songwriter, Chesney stated that he began selecting songs for Born during the COVID-19 pandemic, as the pandemic allowed him to spend more time in the studio than he did previously. He stated that:
"I think it was less worrying about checking boxes or worrying about 'What do we have?' and more about the spirit of going into the studio and being creative."
The album is Chesney's first since Here and Now four years prior. As with most of his previous albums, he co-produced with Buddy Cannon. "Take Her Home" is the album's lead single.
