[Pre-Chorus]

I catch my buzz in the black of night

Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows

If I lose my cool in the open and it shows

That I’m down and I ain't alright

[Chorus]

I search my soul where there is no moon

The trees all cross and are covered in moss

If the crickets want to know then I’ll tell them what I lost

Oh, I got the tailgate blues

[Verse 1]

I ain't sure where it all began

Somewhere 'round here I know

This bridge was a little more crowded then

I was playing her a tailgate show

And now I’m just sitting here alone

[Pre-Chorus]

To catch my buzz in the black of night

Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows

If I lose my cool in the open and it shows

That I’m down and I ain't alright

[Chorus]

I search my soul where there is no moon

The trees all cross and are covered in moss

If the crickets want to know then I’ll tell them what I lost

Oh, I got the tailgate blues

[Verse 2]

Damn that AM radio

For playing more than a song

My heart won’t beat if the strings are broke

The melody’s hitting me wrong

Right here where she belongs

[Pre-Chorus]

I catch my buzz in the black of night

Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows

If I lose my cool in the open and it shows

That I’m down and I ain't alright

[Chorus]

I search my soul where there is no moon

The trees all cross and are covered in moss

If the crickets want to know then I’ll tell them what I lost

Oh, I got the tailgate blues

[Verse 3]

The crickets heard my story and I listened to them sing

I guess I’ll close the tailgate up

There aren’t no telling what tomorrow might bring

Maybe me and a Dixie cup

But that won’t be enough

[Pre-Chorus]

Yes I catch my buzz in the black of night

Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows

If I lose my cool in the open and it shows

That I’m down and I ain't alright

[Chorus]

I search my soul where there is no moon

The trees all cross and are covered in moss

If the crickets want to know then I’ll tell them what I lost

Oh, I got the tailgate blues

[Pre-Chorus]

I catch my buzz in the black of night

Where nobody ever goes and the warm wind blows

If I lose my cool in the open and it shows

That I’m down and I ain't alright
