I’m a tired troubadourNothing less, nothing moreJust a traveler singing my songI’m a hopeless romanticMelodically franticA vagabond that don’t belongFull of wishing well wishesFor gone farewell kissesA drifter with daredevil dreamsMy illusions delusionHas come to conclusionThis world’s not what it seems There’s no placeLike home sweet homeWhen I’m down on my luckHungry, hard up and … Aaron Watson – Home Sweet Home (lyrics)
Well that golden halo doesn’t go so wellWith my red bandana and blue jeansGod knows when I’m good, I’m goodAnd when I’m good is seldom, so it seemsSo they say fools play with fireI’m trying my best to not get burnedWhile I soak myself in gasolineOne would think by now I might have learnedBut I’ve … Aaron Watson – Trying Like The Devil (lyrics)

Defying odds, I’m defying gravityRising above all the negativityI’ve got a long list of things they said I couldn’t doI didn’t know I couldn’t fly, therefore I flewSo I scratch and claw, chisel and chipWith a heart-shaped hammer and good firm gripKeep on swinging, climbing those chartsSharing that soul till you’re touching those hearts Don’t … Aaron Watson – Live Or Die Trying (lyrics)
We were just ten years old when we bonded for lifeIn that maple tree, you and me, and my old timer knifeThe trade we made with the blade, sealed a deal like no othersYeah it hurt like hell but not a teardrop fell We were blood brothers, same soul with a different shade of skinBlood … Aaron Watson – Blood Brothers (lyrics)
If you don’t careI’d like the rocking chairIt would mean a lot to meIt kinda fits me perfectlyAnd that picture bookFrom those trips we tookI’d like to keep a few keepsakesTo help when my heart aches So let me put it all out on the table:Girl I’ve got my suitcase by the doorYou just say … Aaron Watson – Am I Amarillo (lyrics)

They would put me in bed, tuck me in tightSay my prayers, kiss my head, make me feel safe at nightWalking out, holding hands, barely crack my doorTurn the Opry on and waltz across the floorI’d sneak over to the light and I’d take a peakThey kept dancing all night even if the signal got … Aaron Watson – Country Radio (lyrics)
Well, it’s pretty much understoodRainy days are just no goodFor leaving, no need in mixingMisery and ginSo it goes for icy daysHeartache and slick highwaysNo time to wait, you’re gonna breakIf you bend and bend again But a fresh new start, willWarm your heart, like theSun breaking through a cloudy sky If ever was a … Aaron Watson – KISS That Girl Goodbye (lyrics)
