TAKE ME HIGHER
Release May 11, 2019
TRACK 1: TAKE ME HIGHER
Caught up in a crossfire every day
With nothing left to lose and nothing left to say
No one inside just caught in the rain
I know you can help me
I need you to help me
I know you are
(Taking me higher) Won’t you take me higher
(Taking me higher) Taking me higher
(Taking me higher) You know you take me higher
(Taking me higher) Every day
When you’re there next to me, think I understand
What it means to me to be a better man
You lift me up when I’m feeling down
I know you can help me, help me
I need you to help me
I know you are
(Taking me higher) Won’t you take me higher
(Taking me higher) Taking me higher
(Taking me higher) You know you take me higher
(Taking me higher) Every day
(Taking taking taking taking taking me higher) You take me
(Taking taking taking taking) Oh you know you take me higher
(Taking taking taking taking taking me higher) Take me higher
(Taking taking taking taking) Oh you know you are
(Taking me higher) Won’t you take me higher
(Taking me higher) Taking me higher
(Taking me higher) You know you take me higher
(Taking me higher) Every day
(Taking taking taking taking taking me higher) You’re taking me higher
(Taking taking taking taking taking me higher) Higher and higher
(Taking taking taking taking taking me higher) Higher and higher
(Taking taking taking taking taking me higher) Higher higher higher
TRACK 2: GOING DOWN
I’m tired of these slamming doors
They always seem to want just a little bit more
We’re still coming, they’re stomping our own feet
They’re not gonna leave us grinding our own teeth
Cause we say
They’re going down, going down
You can hear it in the sound
They’re going down, going down
Gotta get down to hear the sound
Ooh woo-hoo
It’s become that time of day
When you have to listen - listen to what we say
We got something - we’re not giving up
So we’ll just take a pull and then fill up our cup
Cause we say
They’re going down, going down
You can hear it in the sound
They’re going down, going down
Gotta get down to hear the sound yeah
They’re going down, going down
You can hear it in the sound
They’re going down, going down
Gotta get down to hear the sound
TRACK 3: MAKES ME WANNA YELL
Oh
I’m so tired of all this bitching and complaining
Makes me wanna scream at the top of my lungs
Thinking it’s time for some fine medication
To calm your ass down and to bite your tongue
Makes me wanna yell until these walls come down
Makes me wanna yell until the roof hits the ground
Come in here and show me how you fix the nation
I’m not even seeing what you want me to see
Yelling out nonsense and a crazy fabrication
I’d like to lead you out if it was up to me
Makes me wanna yell until these walls come down
Makes me wanna yell until the roof hits the ground
Oh
I can’t stand all your guilty explanations
You try to make sense but then you seem to get stuck
The world is crying cause we can’t break the tension
But to us it seems like you don’t even give a f—
Makes me wanna yell until these walls come down
Makes me wanna yell until these walls come down come down
Makes me wanna yell oh makes me wanna yell
Makes me wanna yell oh-how
Makes me wanna yell na na na na na na it makes me wanna yell
Makes me wanna yell until the roof hits the ground
TRACK 4: GOODBYE BABY
Take your lipstick and your makeup off this dirty bathroom floor
Take your lovin and affection you can leave em at the door
Take your worn out beat up Chucks I never liked them any way
Take your infamous ideas cause you never had that much to say
Nothing’s gonna save you honey
I think it’s time that I let you go
Goodbye baby
Nothing is worse than what you put me through
I said, Goodbye baby
I’m not gonna take that shit from you
I said goodbye
Oh the sun’s gonna set on you
Cause I got better things to do and I’ll be fine
Take all that dirty laundry go and wash it somewhere else
Take your ugly little knick knacks and your useless leather belts
But you can leave my Sturgill records and my old worn-out Levis
I got nothing left for you except to say goodbye
Nothing’s gonna save you honey
I think it’s time that I let you go
Goodbye baby
Nothing is worse than what you put me through
I said, Goodbye baby
I’m not gonna take that shit from you
I said goodbye
Oh the sun’s gonna set on you
Cause I got better things to do and I’ll be fine
Nothing’s gonna save you honey
I think it’s time that I let you go
Goodbye baby
Nothing is worse than what you put me throughI said, Goodbye baby
I’m not gonna take that shit from you
I said goodbye
Oh the sun’s gonna set on you
Cause I got better things to do and I’ll be fine
TRACK 5: SOMETHING TO REMEMBER ME BY
Hey girl
What’s your name?
Are you real or am I insane
I see you sitting there all alone
Maybe if you’re lucky I’m gonna take you home
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
Alright (Alright)
I’ll give you something to remember me by
Hit me!
Hey boy
What’s your deal?
You come in here and try to tell me what’s real
That’s my girl
Cant you see?
And now it seems you got a problem with me
Rear back (rear back)
Take aim (take aim)
I’m gonna put you in a world of pain
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
Alright (Alright)
I’ll give you something to remember me by
Hit me!
Bridge!
Hey Henry, let me hear ya!
All y’all (yeah?)
In the crowd
Start jumping and we’ll all get down
Clap your hands
Stomp your feet
Now won’t you all come and sing it with me
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
Alright (Alright)
I’ll give you something to remember me by
Hit me!
TRACK 6: COMING HOME
We broke down in Arizona
Lying down in the road
We’ve been chasing this dream
Fighting hard to be seen
Far away from home
Lost some love in Barcelona
Could’ve left us bitter and cold
Nothing but each other lifting up his brother
Round the world we go
And the people come in droves
And my heart is wide open
Just to hear this old fool sing
About drinking and things
And life on the road
I’m still coming home
With my arms wide open
My baby will cry when I look her in the eyes
And tell her she’s not alone
Made some friends in Minnesota
Sleeping out in the rain
We could’ve been in danger without the kindness of strangers
We remember their names
I know you’re back in California
I long to feel your touch
And one day be a father to a son or a daughter
I’m not asking for much
And the people come in droves
And my heart is wide open
Just to hear this old fool sing about drinking and things
And life on the road
I’m still coming home
With my arms wide open
My baby will cry when I look her in the eye
And tell her she’s not alone
If you feel like falling to pieces, girl, you know you can find me
If they try to tell you it’s easy, boy, you know they be lying
Nothing’s gonna slow us down
It’s just a bump in the road to us now
I’m still coming home
With my arms wide open
My baby will cry when I look her in the eye
And tell her she’s not alone
If you feel like falling to pieces, girl, you know you can find me
If they try to tell you it’s easy, boy, you know they be lying
But nothing’s gonna slow us down
It’s just a bump in the road to us now
I’m still coming home
TRACK 7: CANNONBALL
No lyrics - instrumental only.
TRACK 8: RED, WHITE, AND BLOOD
Goin down Alabama
We gon’ light them back roads hot
Police chasing that ‘shiner
Pop that blue collar up
Rum runner, drug pusher
Street walker, jazz cat
Work hard to make a living
Oh it’s a matter of fact
If you follow the money
You’ll find the crime
Follow the money
They’ll be doing no time
Follow the money
Find the rub
Follow the money
Red, white, and blood
Red, white, and blood
See them up in them hills
Puffin big cigars
Using y’all as puppets
Oh they should be behind bars
Pop that blue collar up
As the gavel comes down
They might be swinging them clubs
But it’ll come back around
If you follow the money
You’ll find the crime
Follow the money
They’ll be doing no time
Follow the money
Find the rub
Follow the money
Red, White, and Blood
Red, White, and Blood
Red, White, and Blood
Red, White, and Blood
If you follow the money
You’ll find the crime
Follow the money
They’ll be doing no time
Follow the money
Find the rub
Follow the money
Red, White, and Blood
(Red, White, and Blood)
Red, White, and Blood
