Ride to Robert’s
[Verse 1]
Everything's green right now
Tennessee at the end of June
You get a day to come down
We'll ride to Robert's in the afternoon

Before the room gets packed
We'll claim a table at the upstairs bar
And count the cowboy hats
And bachelorettes that don't know where they are

[Chorus]
And I don't say things that I don't mean
And you're the best thing I've ever seen
You can have my money if you spend your own
Well, I'm still running but I'm not alone

[Verse 2]
We all get lost out here
The deepest ditches line the righteous path
God said, "hold my beer"
And He made a man so He could watch and laugh

But everything's good these days
We'll ride to Robert's on a Friday night
And hear Don Kelley play
And I'll catch you dreamin' in the neon light
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't say things that I don't mean
And you're the best thing I've ever seen
You can have my closet and my herringbone
Well, I ain't lost yet, I'm headed home

[Verse 3]
Everything's green right now
Tennessee's looking after you
You get a year to come down
And I'll put an easel in the empty room

And you can dream all day
We'll ride to Robert's when we crave a steel
We'll find some peace that way
And give your heart a little time to heal

[Chorus]
And I don't say things that I don't mean
And you're the best thing I've ever seen
You can have my closet for your fancy shoes
Well, I ain't lost yet, so much to lose
