Lyrics for Ride to Robert's

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 'Fore the room gets packed And we'll claim a table at the upstairs bar Count the cowboy hats Bachelorettes that don't know where they are And I don't say things That I don't mean 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 We all get lost out here The deepest ditches line the righteous path God said "Hold my beer" He made a man so he could watch him laugh Everything's good these days We'll ride to Robert's on a Friday night Hear Don Kelly play And I'll catch you dreamin' in the neon light 'Cause I don't say things That I don't mean 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 Everything's green right now Tennessee is lookin' after you You get a year to come down And I'll put an easel in the empty room You can dream all day We'll ride to Robert's when we crave a steel And find some peace that way And give your heart a little time to heal And I don't say things That I don't mean 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
