Jesus Saves


There was a man I used to pass
+
On my way into town
+
He was covered in dirt like the world had beat him down
+
I often wondered how he ended up like that
+
So one day, drivin' home, I pulled over to ask
+
I said, "Man, where'd it all go wrong?"
+
He said, "Son, do you really wanna know?"
+
My daddy left for another woman, moved off to L.A
+
My mama fought hard against that cancer, she died when I was eight
+
I finished school, my country shipped me off to war
+
When I came home, my whole world didn't love me anymore
+
It's hard to see all that when you're drivin' by
+
So I just write down, "Jesus Saves"
+
'Cause there ain't no way I can fit that on a sign
+
I can't fit that on a sign
+
I took him to a diner, I bought him a cup of coffee
+
He asked me if he could bum a couple dollars off me
+
He told me his story, I told mine
+
He said, "Thanks 'cause most folks around here would never take the time"
+
He said, "I lost my job down at the mill when that factory closed
+
Army stopped sendin' me them checks, the bank took everything I own"
+
Hitchhiked my way up to Chicago, the nights were too damn cold
+
I hopped a train, headed West 'cause I had nowhere else to go
+
It's hard to see all that drivin' by
+
So I just write down, "Jesus Saves"
+
'Cause there ain't no way I can fit that on a sign
+
There ain't no way to fit that on a sign
+
I probably would've wrote down a little more
+
If I could've find a bigger piece of cardboard
+
My brother Walter was my hero
+
But he was bad to drink
+
One night, he laid his Harley down
+
Near that Ohio Riverbank
+
Me and my ex wife tried for kids when we were datin'
+
Hell, we even had baby names picked out
+
But little Walter didn't make it
+
It's hard to see all that drivin' by
+
So I just write down, "Jesus Saves"
+
'Cause there ain't no way I can fit that on a sign
+
I can't fit all that on a sign

Too Early To Drink


How early's too early to drink?
+
'Cause it's 8 a.M. And I'm starting to think
+
I need some of what she poured right down the sink
+
How early's too early to drink?
+
How lonely can loneliness feel?
+
'Cause I've been sliding like some pedal steel
+
Just driving me crazy here, spinning my wheels
+
How lonely can loneliness feel?
+
And how hard can one heart break in two?
+
How much can one single man lose?
+
One fell swoop, you said goodbye
+
And tore out of my drive as fast as my two eyes can blink
+
So how late is too late to say, "Sorry, I'll change"
+
And how early is too early to drink?
+
Where's bottom if bottom ain't here?
+
Does missing you have a whole 'nother gear?
+
Will I drown in my foolishness and disappear?
+
Where's bottom if bottom ain't here?
+
And how hard can one heart break in two?
+
And how much can one single man lose?
+
One fell swoop, you said goodbye
+
And you tore out of my drive as fast as my two eyes can blink
+
So how late is too late to say, "Sorry, I'll change"
+
And how early is too early to drink?
+
That clock says it's quarter to nine
+
And I can't get you off of my mind
+
There's hell to go through and I'm right on the brink
+
So how early is too early to drink?
+

Pick A Place


We can catch a Southwest flight down there to Florida
+
Wade out in that blue water
+
We can take my old Toyota to Atlanta
+
Catch the Braves playin' the Marlins
+
To tell the truth, girl, I don't really care
+
I'd love the chance to take you anywhere
+
Just pick a place where hearts don't break, and I'll open up a tab
+
Somewhere we don't know a soul, and we can wash away the past
+
Somewhere it don't hurt
+
Girl, just say the word and I'm on my way
+
All you gotta do is pick a place
+
We can bounce from bar to bar down there on Broadway
+
And both sing out of tune
+
We can find a cheap hotel outside of Dallas
+
And never leave the room
+
If you think that there's a place and we can make it
+
I'll go anywhere with you, girl, you name it
+
Just pick a place where hearts don't break, and I'll open up a tab
+
Somewhere we don't know a soul, and we can wash away the past
+
Somewhere it don't hurt
+
Girl, just say the word and I'm on my way
+
All you gotta do is pick a place
+
Just pick a place
+
Where tears'll never fall
+
True love don't run off
+
If you think there's somewhere that ain't too late
+
Then pick a place where hearts don't break, and I'll open up tab
+
Somewhere we don't know a soul, and we can wash away the past
+
Somewhere it don't hurt
+
Girl, just say the word and I'm on my way
+
All you gotta do is pick a place
+
All you gotta do is pick a place
+
I'll pick you up, you pick a place
+

Way Out Here


Our houses are protected by the good Lord and a gun
+
And you might meet 'em both if you show up here not welcome, son
+
Our necks are burnt, the roads are dirt and our trucks ain't clean
+
The dogs run loose, we smoke, we chew and fry everything
+
Out here, way out here
+
We don't take a dime if we ain't earned it
+
When it comes to weight, brother, we pull our own
+
If it's our backwoods where you live and you're concerned with
+
Well, you can leave us alone
+
'Cause we're about John Wayne, Johnny Cash and John Deere
+
Way out here
+
We've got a fighting side a mile wide but we pray for peace
+
'Cause it's mostly us that end up serving overseas
+
Hell, if it was up to me I'd love to see this country run
+
Like it used to be, like it ought to be and just like it's done
+
Out here, way out here
+
We don't take a dime if we ain't earned it
+
When it comes to weight, brother, we pull our own
+
If it's our backwoods where you live and you're concerned with
+
You can leave us alone

Rather Be


I'd rather be seven beers deep
+
With a Coleman cooler propping up my feet
+
My ass in a lawn char, floating on the breeze in a Sun Tracker
+
I'd rather be tucked in a pit blind
+
Somewhere on the Mississippi-Louisiana state line
+
Waitin' on them greenheads to do a fly by, lip full of tobacco
+
When I hear you bitch at me
+
It makes me think of all the places I'd rather be
+
I'd rather be stripping off shingles on a July roof down in Tishomingo
+
Workin' like a dog, livin' in a single-wide
+
Yes, I would
+
I'd rather be stuck at your mama's
+
Watching midday reruns of her favorite dramas
+
Wearin' my pajamas, neck deep in Days of Our Lives
+
When I hear you bitch at me
+
It makes me think of all the places I'd rather be
+
Yeah, all the places I'd rather be
+
Oh, let me hear it
+
How I leave my clothes on the floor
+
Track dirt through the door
+
And don't bother cleanin' up
+
Let me hear 'bout the guy you wish I was
+
When I hear you bitch at me
+
It makes me think of all the places I'd rather be
+
When I hear you bitch at me
+
It makes me think of all the places I'd rather be
+
There's a lot of places I'd rather be
+

Good Morning From Mexico


We had it all planned out, that honeymoon trip
+
We was gonna head South of the border soon as we got hitched
+
Girl, I guess you had a change of heart
+
My whole world began to fall apart
+
And now you're wonderin' where I've been
+
And you just called checkin' in
+
Well, good mornin' from Mexico
+
I found a little señorita, and she don't wanna let me go
+
We got us a bungalow
+
And I've been livin' off of coconut and Modelo
+
Thought I never would recover, find another lover
+
Hell, I guess you'll never know
+
So good mornin' from Mexico
+
Well, they must put somethin' in the water down here
+
Makes all your troubles just seem to disappear
+
I heard folks say the sun is good for the soul
+
Well, this white sand sure beats the hell out of snow
+
So don't expect me home anytime soon
+
I threw my passport in the pool
+
Good mornin' from Mexico
+
I found a little señorita, and she don't wanna let me go
+
We got us a bungalow
+
And I've been livin' off of coconut and Modelo
+
Thought I never would recover, find another lover
+
Hell, I guess you'll never know
+
So good mornin' from Mexico
+
I appreciate you callin'
+
But girl, before I let you go
+
Let me tell you in Español
+
Buenos dias desde Mexico
+
I found a little señorita, and she don't wanna let me go
+
We got us a bungalow
+
I've been drinkin' straight tequilas and Modelo
+
Thought I never would recover, find another lover
+
Hell, I guess you'll never know
+
So good mornin' from Mexico
+
It's a good mornin' in Mexico
+
That's funky right there, man
+

Damn Good Day To Leave


Girl, I always pictured it'd be pourin' down rain
+
With old Hank singin' some song about trains
+
And midnight taillights tearing down a highway
+
Or some other heartbroke cliché
+
But there's nothin' but blue skies as far as I can see
+
You picked a damn good day to leave me
+
Sittin' here, cooler full of Keystone
+
Nothing to do but fish all day long
+
A pocket full of three-day weekend money
+
Ain't a heartbreak cloud in the forecast, honey
+
I hate to see you go but if you ask me
+
You picked a damn good day to leave
+
Well, how in the hell can I watch the big game
+
Without me having you here to complain?
+
And how am I gonna do anything now
+
Without you here telling me how?
+
Guess it could be worse, hell, it's seventy-five degrees
+
You picked a damn good day to leave me
+
Sittin' here, cooler full of Keystone
+
Nothing to do but fish all day long
+
A pocket full of three-day weekend money
+
Ain't a heartbreak cloud in the forecast, honey
+
I hate to see you go but if you ask me
+
You picked a damn good day to leave
+
No doubt
+
A damn good day to leave
+
I guess I'll miss the Bachelorette
+
Well, what a shame
+
But Channel 8's about to marathon John Wayne
+
You picked a damn good day to leave me
+
Sittin' here, cooler full of Keystone
+
Nothing to do but fish all day long
+
A pocket full of three-day weekend money
+
Ain't a heartbreak cloud in the forecast, honey
+
I hate to see you go but if you ask me
+
You picked a damn good day to leave
+
Yeah, it was a mighty fine day to leave
+

You picked a damn good day to leave

Don't Mind If I Do

The singer-songwriter's third studio album, produced by Dann Huff, Don't Mind If I Do arrived on his birthday, October 18 with more of the signature Riley Green fans have come to know and love from the good ol' boy who still lives in his hometown of Jacksonville, AL.

Currently on an incredible hot streak, Green's well-earned confidence in his work shines through across the 18-track set with five of the tracks being solely written including standouts "Jesus Saves,” "Worst Way” and the title track—which finds Green reuniting with his "you look like you love me” duet partner and recent tourmate Ella Langley.
