"Tailgates Of Heaven" lyrics - BRANTLEY GILBERT

I stopped by old man Dolby's store for cold ones on the way
We bagged 'em up and dropped 'em down out back, by our old place
It won't take long, a simple man's on somebody says your name
And I can't help but wonder if you're up there doin' the same

[Chorus:]
Sippin' on a cold gold can
Reminiscin' with some long-lost friends
Blowin' smoke and jokin', laughin' 'bout the hell we raised down here
Do you ever get to kick it with The Man?
Did he tell you when he's comin' back again?
Does He sing along to Skynyrd on Eleven on the Tailgates of Heaven?

Well, almost everything in this old fire has burned before
Some midnight memories, black beer cans, and that bourbon bottle's yours
It's the same old boys, same old story stretchin' out the truth
We all know something's missin' and brother we all know it's you

[Chorus:]
Sippin' on a cold gold can
Reminiscin' with some long-lost friends
Blowin' smoke and jokin', laughin' 'bout the hell we raised down here
Do you ever get to kick it with The Man?
Did he tell you when he's comin' back again?
Does He sing along to Skynyrd on Eleven on the Tailgates of Heaven?

[Post-Chorus:]
On the Tailgates of Heaven

[Bridge:]
Remember when we thought that nights like this would last forever?
Well I still believe they do, they just go down somewhere better

[Chorus:]
Sippin' on a cold gold can
Reminiscin' with some long-lost friends
Blowin' smoke and jokin', laughin' 'bout the hell we raised down here
Do you ever get to kick it with The Man?
Did he tell you when he's comin' back again?
Does He sing along to Skynyrd on Eleven?

[Post-Chorus:]
Yeah, tell Saint Pete to save me a seat
On the Tailgates of Heaven
On the Tailgates of Heaven

[Outro:]
I stopped by old man Dolby's store for cold ones on the way
We bagged 'em up and dropped 'em down out back, by our old place
