LEFT OVER WHISKEY
Left Over Whiskey
Writer: Adam Byrd
V1:
Pulling in at 2 am again another promise I made broken
Walking down the hall past that half empty bottle my apologies unspoken
Oh when I woke up all I could see was her back marching out that front door
She wasn't gonna put up with me anymore
CH1:
Left over whiskey, little white lies
Empty promises and weak alibis
She tore out the door like she wouldn't even miss me
She had enough of my ways and left over whiskey
V2:
That's when the truth hit like the blinding sunlight that was shining through my window
How could I keep turning my back on that woman and not expect to watch her go
I guess she wore out on waiting for me to come home and not having any choice
I guess she finally had enough of this 'ol boy
Repeat CH1: 2X
CH2:
Left over whiskey, little white lies
Empty promises and weak alibis
All she took from here is a brokenhearted history
She had enough of my ways and left over whiskey
She had enough of my ways and left over whiskey

JUST ANOTHER TATTOO
Just Another Tattoo
Writers: Adam Byrd/Sarah Motes Ashley
V1:
Some say I got ‘em for attention
Say it’s my way of fittin’ in
But no one ever gives me time to mention they’re more than just ink on my skin
Where do I begin
Here on my shoulder says “sisters”
‘Cause family means the world to me
And I got this broken heart on my right ankle that night in Abilene...when I turned 18
CH:
The needle always goes in deep
Kinda like the memories do
Like markers on a map to me of where I’ve been and my history
Even though I’ve got more than a few
None of them is just another tattoo
V2:
Here’s my guitar that Nana bought me
She showed me how to live out loud
Says right here she’s singing sweet in heaven
She taught me how, I’m gonna make her proud
This broken mirrors my reminder
Of all the girls I’ve tried to be
I am so much more than my reflection
What really counts is underneath
More than skin deep
CH:
The needle always goes in deep
Kinda like the memories do
Like markers on a map to me of where I’ve been and my history
Even though I’ve got more than a few
None of them is just another tattoo
BR:
I still got spaces ‘cause there’s more places to be
More life stories waiting for me
I can’t wait to see the mark they leave on me
CH:
The needle always goes in deep
Kinda like the memories do
Like markers on a map to me of where I’ve been and my history
Even though I’ve got more than a few
None of them is just another tattoo

FALLBACK (ACOUSTIC)
Fallback
Writers: Andrea Goodman/Adam Byrd
V1:
I can hear your ringtone again cause you’re calling my phone again
Probably had another whose right, outta sight, late night fight with her
Already know what you’re going to say before I go to voicemail and play
That same message where you’re gonna wanna pick up where you left off
last time
But lately I’ve been thinking you should know that I’m…
CH:
I’m done being your fallback
I’m done being your second place
Don’t wanna be stuck in your back pocket
Don’t wanna be your just in case
I’ve given you too much slack thinking things will change
I’m tired of holding my breath, taking what’s left, playing these game
I’m done being your fallback
Yeah yeah
I’m done being your fallback, fallback
V2:
There once was a day I thought you’d give it up after getting caught
So many times white lying, two timing, backsliding back to her
So when I tell ya I’m through, I’m through and there ain’t nothing that
you can do
From stopping me running round closing the bars down in my little black dress
When it comes to heartache I give what I get
CH: REPEAT TWICE
