chris stapleton - daddy doesn t pray anymore
Daddy doesn?t pray anymore
I guess he?s finished talking to the Lord
He used to fold his hands and bow his head down to the floor
But daddy doesn?t pray anymore
I remember even when the times were bad
He thanked Jesus for everything he had
For a good wife and three children
And the food upon our plates
Yeah, everything was right when he said, grace
Daddy doesn?t pray anymore
I guess he?s finished talking to the Lord
He used to fold his hands and bow his head down to the floor
But daddy doesn?t pray anymore
There was a time when we didn?t get along
Cause I thought I was right and he was wrong
Still when I laid down at night
I?d hear him get down on his knees
And say a little prayer for me
Daddy doesn?t pray anymore
I guess he?s finished talking to the Lord
He used to fold his hands and bow his head down to the floor
But daddy doesn?t pray anymore
Today I followed daddy down to church
And listened to the preacher read God?s word
We sang his favorite hymn but daddy didn?t make a sound
This afternoon we?ll lay him in the ground
But daddy doesn?t pray anymore
I guess he?s finally walking with the Lord
He used to fold his hands and bow his head down to the floor
But daddy doesn?t pray anymore
chris stapleton - traveller
I see the sunrise creeping in
Everything changes like the desert wind
Here she comes and then she's gone again
I'm just a traveller on this earth
Sure as my heart's behind the pocket of my shirt
I'll just keep rolling till I'm in the dirt
'Cause I'm a traveller, oh, I'm a traveller
I couldn't tell you honey, I don't know
Where I'm going but I've got to go
'Cause every turn reveals some other road
And I'm a traveller, oh, I'm a traveller
My heartbeat's rhythm is a lonesome sound
Just like the rubber turning on the ground
Always lost and nowhere bound
I'm just a traveller on this earth
Sure as my heart's behind the pocket of my shirt
I'll just keep rolling till I'm in the dirt
'Cause I'm a traveller, oh, I'm a traveller
I couldn't tell you honey, I don't know
Where I'm going but I've got to go
'Cause every turn reveals some other road
And I'm a traveller, oh, I'm a traveller
When I'm gone
Somebody else will have to feel this wrong
Somebody else will have to sing this song
Somebody else will have to sing along
Sing along
I'm just a traveller on this earth
Sure as my heart's behind the pocket of my shirt
I'll just keep rolling till I'm in the dirt
'Cause I'm a traveller, oh, I'm a traveller
I couldn't tell you honey, I don't know
Where I'm going but I've got to go
'Cause every turn reveals some other road
And I'm a traveller, oh, I'm a traveller
chris stapleton - fire away
Honey load up your questions
And pick up your sticks and your stones
And pretend I?m a shelter for heartaches that don?t have a home
Choose the words that cut like a razor
And all that I?ll say is
Fire away
Take your best shot
Show me what you got
Honey, I?m not afraid
Rear back and take aim
And fire away
Well, I wish I could say
That I?ve never been here before
But you know and I know
That I?ll always come back for more
Your love might be my damnation
But I?ll cry to my grave
Fire away
Take your best shot
Show me what you got
Honey, I?m not afraid
Rear back and take aim
And fire away
Fire away
Take your best shot
Show me what you got
Honey, I?m not afraid
Rear back and take aim
And fire away
chris stapleton - millionaire
They say "Love is more precious than gold"
Can't be bought and it can't be sold
I got love enough to spare
That makes me a millionaire
I got a woman with eyes that shine
Down deep as a diamond mine
She's my treasure so very rare
She's made me a millionaire
When we ride around, ride around this old town
In the beat-up car, with the windows down
People look at her and they look at me
And say "That boy is sure living in luxury"
Sweet luxury
'Cause love is more precious than gold
It can't be bought, no, never could be sold
I got love enough to share
That makes me a millionaire
When the kisses fall from everywhere
Life reaches on, millionaire
When the pocket's are empty and the cover is bare
I still feel like a millionaire
'Cause love is more precious than gold
It can't be bought, no, and it can't be sold
I got love enough to spare
That makes me a millionaire
chris stapleton - broken halos
Seen my share of broken halos
Folded wings that used to fly
They've all gone wherever they go
Broken halos that used to shine
Angels come down from the heavens
Just to help us on our way
Come to teach us, then they leave us
And they find some other soul to save
Seen my share of broken halos
Folded wings that used to fly
They've all gone wherever they go
Broken halos that used to shine
Broken halos that used to shine
Don't go looking for the reasons
Don't go asking Jesus why
We're not meant to know the answers
They belong to the by and by
They belong to the by and by
Seen my share of broken halos
Folded wings that used to fly
They've all gone wherever they go
Broken halos that used to shine
Broken halos that used to shine
Broken halos that used to shine
Broken halos that used to shine
chris stapleton - death row
Well up here's the window sitting way up high
I can't look up enough to see the sky
There ain't no good light here below
Death row
Death row
Don't want no preacher man to come around
I don't need him to lay my burden down
Already told Jesus everything I know
Death row
Death row
When it's time for my last request
Tell my mama that I did my best
Tell my baby that I love her so
Death row
Death row
Death row
Death row
Got a calendar up on my wall
Marking days till I get the call
Till it's time for me to go
Death row
Death row
chris stapleton - might as well get stoned
Well, she said, she didn?t love me
And kicked me out the door
Now I?m livin? in one room
And sleepin? on the floor
Think I?m gonna kick my boots off
And put some music on
And since I?m all alone
I might as well get stoned
I might as well get stoned
Get it off my mind
Ain?t got a thing to do
All I?ve got is time
The bottle?s all
I?ve had to be a friend of mine
And since my whiskey?s gone
I might as well get stoned
Now every time I watch the TV
Another soldier dies
Another brother?s gone
Another mother cries
Now I know they?ve got a job to do
But if I had one wish
I wish they?d all come home
So, we could all get stoned
I might as well get stoned
Get it off my mind
Ain?t got a thing to do
All I?ve got is time
The bottle?s all
I?ve had to be a friend of mine
And since my whiskey?s gone
I might as well get stoned
chris stapleton - nobody to blame
She took down the photograph
Of our wedding day
Ripped it down the middle
And threw my half away
And I got nobody to blame but me
I got nobody to blame but me
She broke all my fishing rods
Put my guns in hock
Threw my clothes out in the yard
And changed out all the locks
And I got nobody to blame but me
I got nobody to blame but me
[Chorus:]
I know right where I went wrong
I know just what got her gone
Turned my life into this country song
And I got nobody to blame but me
I got nobody to blame but me
She fired up my old hot rod
Ran it in the pond
Put sugar in my John Deere
I can?t even mow my lawn
And I got nobody to blame but me
She built her a bonfire
With my old six string
Took all my good whiskey
And poured it down the drain
And I got nobody to blame but me
I got nobody to blame but me
[Chorus]
