"Honky Tonk Train" 1st verse: Gotta go somewhere, this I know There's a new world waitin' down the road Time to get movin' fore I go insane All aboard the Honky Tonk Train. Chorus: Honky Tonk Train, whoo whoo, Honky Tonk Train Pour on the country and the rock and roll Build a head of steam and here we go Flyin' high, ridin'on the Honky Tonk Train. 2nd verse: Lose your blues, come as you are The band's warmin' up in the dinin' car It's party time shine or rain All aboard the Honky Tonk Train. (Chorus) Bridge: It's a weekend trip through the promised land From north MS to south Alabam We got barbecue and homemade wine Everybody's feelin' fine. (Chorus) (Chorus) Tag: Flyin' high, ridin' on the Honky Tonk Train. Words & Music: Aaron Vance, Hal Newman & Rachel Newman 07.15.2014 ℗©2014 Windy Holler Music, ASCAP

"Talk of the Town" 1st verse: I know a girl with eyes of blue Her name is Josie Lynn and she is so beautiful When she shows up everybody looks She's the talk of the town. 2nd verse: She gets a wild hair every now and then Wants to go dancin' runnin' with the wind When she's like that it's hard to slow her down She's the talk of the town. Chorus: It's a small world, don't take long Before you know it's already home Right or wrong word gets around You're the talk of the town. (TA) 3rd verse: I'm just a guy livin' my life Never thought twice of takin' a wife But when we kissed the walls came down Now we're the talk of the town. 4th verse: We walk hand in hand and everybody stares We're so in love, we don't care Some folks smile, some of them frown We're the talk of the town.

"Next Stop Nashville" The first stage I ever sang on Was in a Baptist church out on a back road A preacher's son at the age of 7 A blessing from Hank and a gift from heaven Country was the road I was told to take Now it's time to take a leap of faith Next stop Nashville I'm on my way Next stop Nashville That's what I say Once I make it there, I'm gonna stay Next stop Nashville. People come from everywhere With a dream on the wings of a prayer Writin' them songs and singin' together Makin' the world a little bit better Goodbye to my Mississippi home Tennessee's the place where I belong! (Chorus) Bridge: Got a hillbilly heart and an old guitar One day gonna be a star in Nashville (Chorus) Words & Music: Aaron Vance, Hal Newman & Rachel Newman 04.22.14 ℗©2014 Windy Holler Music, ASCAP

"Solid Country Gold" 1st verse: When I was young listenin'to the radio Singin' along to good ole country songs Every day on my way home Heard old Hank moan the blues Old George Jones filling shoes Tanya Tucker singing - Won't you Love me like you used to These are the songs that were known to give you chills These are the boots we need to fill Chorus: Solid country gold Somethin we need to Keep passin'on Reachin' back to Solid Country Gold Solid Country Gold. Solid Country Gold 2nd verse: They say Nashville's lost it's heart and soul Nothin' real about it anymore Time to even up the score I can feel it in my bones When I sing it in my song Stand up, sing along, while I bring you home. (Chorus) Bridge: Stick to the basics Write a simple song Make them feel what you feel Sing 'em back home (Chorus) Solid Country Gold Solid Country Gold Tag: Like Conway Twitty and Doug Stone Solid Country Gold When I was young listenin'to the radio Singin' along to good ole country songs Every day on my way home Words & Music: Aaron Vance 07.09.13 ℗©2014 Windy Holler Music, ASCAP

"Please Pretend You Know Me" 1st verse: I was mindin' my own business She planted a kiss right on my lips I said to myself, "What is this?" She looked at the door and kissed me some more You should have seen the look on her face When he walked in like he owned the place Chorus: She said, "Please pretend you know me, Do me a favor and kiss me again. Please pretend you know me More than a friend. Please pretend you know me Don't want to look like I'm here all alone Please pretend you know me Til he's gone." 2nd verse: When he didn't leave, immediately I knew I was in trouble I found myself a different girl And kissed her on the double You should have seen the look in her eyes When I smiled, apologized and said, Chorus: Please pretend you know me Do me a favor and kiss me again Please pretend you know me More than a friend. Please pretend you know me I don't want to look like I'm here all alone Please pretend you know me Til she's gone. Br: She said, "Don't worry, baby, I don't mind As a matter of fact, you're right on time!" (Guitar Break) Chorus: Please pretend you know me Do me a favor and kiss me again Please pretend you know me More than a friend.

"Mississippi Pride" You can see it in my smile Hear it in my song I'd walk a country mile To be where I belong When the Delta moon is on the rise And crickets sing a lullaby It fills my heart with Mississippi pride Mississippi pride Comes from deep inside Burning in my soul Like a flame that won’t die Mississippi pride All of my life I’ve been blessed with Mississippi pride Down in Dixieland That’s the place for me Where love and laughter live With friends and family The smell of Jasmine in the air Popcorn at the County Fair It’s bona fide Mississippi pride Hey, Hey It’s the Mississippi way It’s bona fide Mississippi pride Words & Music: Aaron Vance, Rachel Newman & Hal Newman 12/10/13 ℗©2014 Windy Holler Music, ASCAP

"Southern Belle" 1st verse: I knew she was heaven-sent When I was introduced by my best friend An angel in disguise The kind of woman I want in my life She takes my breath when she walks And I'm all ears when she talks She gives me the thrill of a kid She's a firefly that I just caught. Chorus: She was raised just like me Country as a turnip green Aw man, she's a sight to see And when she speaks it's the melody of Dixie She's into boots and jeans Mud on the tires and cuddling She ain't no fairytale She's my Southern Belle. 2nd verse: All women ain't made like this With a touch of heaven and a Boone's Farm kiss Loves ridin' backroads The kind of woman that'll make you write her a song Heaven knows, she ain't perfect She has her days when she's fussin' and cussin' But she's an angel When she's lovin'. (Chorus) Bridge: She will make you whole When you put that ring on She will stick by you Whether you're right or wrong (Chorus) Words & Music: Aaron Vance 06.25.13 ℗©2014 Windy Holler Music, ASCAP

Too Far Gone 04:01
"Too Far Gone" Time is up My mind has changed The love we had Can't get back again I tried and tried To find my way home But ain't no goin' back I'm too far gone. Too far gone Like a runaway Too far down the road To look back at yesterday Learn to let it go Keep rollin' on Some things you just can't change They're too far gone. (TA) She lived her life Like a mystery On the gypsy highway Wild and free Pills and whiskey Her heart for a song She don't even miss me She's too far gone. (Chorus) Like grandma said, "Leave well-enough alone" No regrets, can't keep holdin' on (Chorus) Words & Music: Aaron Vance and Rachel Newman 12.11.13 ℗©2014 Windy Holler Music, ASCAP
