Some of the little towns down here that we drive through, a few of them that we play, but some of the small towns that we just pass through are really beautiful.
Madison, Georgia, really, really gorgeous.
A lot of those towns are kind of between Athens and Atlanta.
There's a lot of great music there, a lot of good old folks that still kind of do the same things that they used to.
When I'm home, I try to write songs.
I sleep a lot and I shoot pool a lot.
I don't gamble as much as I used to on it, so that's a good thing.
I never gamble on anything because it's illegal in the state of Alabama to do that.

[F#m] [E]
[F#m] [E] [C#m]
[B] [F#m] Lay [E] down beside me, [F#m] close your eyes and feel [E] the noonday sun.
[F#m] These eyes, they [E] remind me [C#m] of a scared and simple doe before [B] she was.
[F#m] John [E] was a Baptist.
[F#m] He feared the world could end at [E] any time.
And [F#m] you and I are charged with this, to hold the essence of a kiss and take [C#m] these broken plans and make them [B] right.
[C#m] Daisy [E] Mae, Daisy Mae, this [B] hasn't been your day.
[C#m]
[C#] [F#m] Here he never [E] touched you.
[F#m] Inside this house he never called [E] your name.
So [F#m] stay where I can see you, girl, [E] cause we both know the outside world [C#m] has changed and it'll never be the [B] same.
[F#m] My hands, they [E] are wicked.
My [F#m] head and my heart are [E] wicked too.
[F#m] For all the things that I do [E] wrong, if you weren't given fear so [C#m] strong, I would not be good enough [B] for you.
Daisy [E] Mae, Daisy Mae, this [B] hasn't been your day.
[F#] [C#m] [E] [A] And I won't lay this pistol down [E] until the sky falls to the ground.
[B] Leave him there to call your name [A] until man and land are both the same.
[E] Daisy Mae, Daisy Mae, this [F#] hasn't been your day.
This hasn't been [A] your day.
[C#m] Daisy [E] Mae, [C#m] [E] Daisy Mae, this hasn't [B] been your day.
This hasn't [A] been your day.
[C#m]
[A#] Thanks.
