"Holler Back" by The Lost Trailers (Stokes Nielson/Tim James)

1st Verse

I got a city folk friend in a hip-hop world
He goes by E. Diddy but his name is Earl
Cocks his hat to the side in his Grandma's ride
Pumpin' nothin' but bass

2nd Verse

He says things like, 'Dawg, are you down with that'
And, 'Don't that fly girl got some back'
And I feel so doggone outta place

Pre Chorus

When he says,
'Holler back when you get back home'
I say, 'The only holler back that I know is'

Chorus

(In) that holler back in the woods
Where the country folks got it (so) good
Homebrewed, homegrown
Where the wild seeds 'a get sown
It's a blast from the past
All the cowgirls shakin' their sassafras
Let out a howl if 'ya feel like 'ya gotta
If you wanna go on back to the holler
Holler back

3rd Verse

Take a left off the Interstate
Go ten miles
Take a right on Farm Road 99
And just roll 'til the blacktop ends

4th Verse

'Ya see Mary Jo rockin' that front porch swing
Bikini top and them cut-off jeans
And that's where Hillbilly Heaven begins

Pre Chorus

Ah, she'll pour 'ya some of that cherry wine
Boy, you're guaranteed to have yourself
One hell of a time

(Chorus Out)



   "Why Me" by The Lost Trailers (Stokes Nielson/Jimbeau Hinson)

1st Verse

Sometimes I go walkin' through the long, tall grass
And wonder how long hard times will last
For this backwoods soul on a road to God knows where

2nd Verse

And hard as I try, I ain't left no tracks
Least not enough to find my way back
I hit the ground like broken glass and just lay there

1st Chorus

Singin' why me, oh why me
And I throw another empty bottle up against the wall
And I sing why me, oh why me
But pity never ever did me any kinda good at all
So I'll walk on

3rd Verse

And I wound up on the Capitol steps
Watchin' the lobbyists smoke their cigarettes
Comparin' their shoes and their country club dues
And who got who by the short hairs

4th Verse

Standin' there in their high-dollar suits
Lookin' down at my tattered ol' jeans and boots
And this weathered guitar
That seems to follow me everywhere
God, it follows me everywhere

2nd Chorus

Playin' why me, oh why me
All I got's another song
About how money makes and breaks the law
And I sing why me, oh why me
(I'm) just a broke troubadour
With a bark for the underdog
And I'll walk on

Bridge

Now I ain't Jesus, but I can relate
To a man lookin' death square in the face
Even he hit his knees with a plea
In the garden of Gethsemane
To his Holy Father he raised his eyes
In his darkest hour he cried,
'Please, would you take this cup from me'

Tag Chorus

Prayin' why me, oh why me
Knowin' all the while
He had to carry that cross and hang there
When I sing why me, oh why me
I know that somewhere up in Heaven
There's a big ol' book with my name there
So I'll rock on, I rock on
Even when I'm singin' why me, I rock on
Even when I'm singin' why me, I rock on
Even when I'm singin' why me, whoa oh why me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh



   "Call Me Crazy" by The Lost Trailers (Stokes Nielson)

1st Verse

All the lights are goin' down on Main Street
The parkin' lots are fillin' up
With teenage dreams and pickup trucks
There's gonna be a race tonight
That's where I'm gonna catch your eye
Right across that finish line
Is where I'll make you mine

Chorus

And if it's crazy
To think maybe
All you need
Is a love that's true
Well, then baby
You can call me crazy
'Cause I do

2nd Verse

This ol' GTO can't go no faster
There's only two ways out tonight
Winnin' or disaster
Ain't nothin' but dust in my rearview
Oh, everybody's cheerin', baby
But all I want is you

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

After the smoke has settled on this town
You're gonna know why true love won't back down
'Cause when my wild hairs have turned to gray
I still will feel this way

Tag Chorus

And if it's crazy
To think maybe
Well, all you need
Is a love that's true
Then call me crazy
'Cause I do
You can call me crazy
Ah, you can call me crazy
You can call me crazy



  "The Only One" by The Lost Trailers (Stokes Nielson)

Intro

Through it all
Through everything
You were the only one

1st Verse

I came home this morning
With two thoughts in my head
One was just how broke we've got
The other's what you said
How a woman can look at a man
In a house crumblin' under bills
How she can say that the seasons may change
But her love never will

Chorus

Through it all
Through everything
You were the only one
When I'm wild
You're the reason why
I've never come undone

2nd Verse

When the bottom dropped out
I took any job I could
And when the money still wasn't enough
I did some things that were no good
I got paid to fight in the streets
I came home a beaten man
You never cried
No, you never said a word
You just washed the blood from my hands

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

And I've got one reason why
To come back home tonight
To reach out and try to be
The man I was back then
You know, I'd give anything
Just to be with you again

Tag Chorus

(It's) through it all
Through everything
You were the only one
And I'm alive
You're the reason why
Our love is a smoking gun

(Repeat Tag Chorus)

You were the only one
You were the only one
You were the only one
