    Colter will go places. He's got a one in a million voice.

      He's got a gift no doubt but he doesn't sing empty songs that fit the Nashville agenda of fake country. We'd all love to see him go places but he's too honest in his song writing to fake it. Although I would love to see the Colter Walls and Sturgill Simpsons of the world walk all over the Luke Bryan's and Keith Urbans. Show em what real country music was, is, and should always be.

    Lyrics:
    Sunshine beating on the good times
    Moonlight raising from the grave
    String band playing worn out honky-tonks
    Pretty young thing going dancing in the rain
    High heel lady spitting at the nickajack
    Business man with a needle and a spoon
    Coyote chewing on a cigarette
    Pack o' young boys going howlin' at the moon
    Hey darlin'!
    Sleeping on the blacktop
    Hey darlin'!
    Running through the trees honey
    Hey darlin'!
    Leaving for the next town
    Less'n my sense catches up with me
    Three dead in a crash on the number four
    Two witnesses below and up high
    Not sure whose will be done
    You can call me a sinner for wondering why
    Hey darlin'!
    Sleeping on the blacktop
    Hey darlin'!
    Running through the trees honey
    Hey darlin'!
    Leaving for the next town
    Less'n my sense catches up with me
    Corn liquor tastes sweeter in this town
    Could it be it's the same as the last?
    I swear I've seen ya face elsewhere before
    Just as familiar as a bottle and a glass
    Hey darlin'!
    Sleeping on the blacktop
    Hey darlin'!
    Running through the trees honey
    Hey darlin'!
    Leaving for the next town
    Less'n my sense catches up with me
