#1 (The Ballad of Dallas Davidson)

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna win all kinds of money
Hit the jackpot bettin' on a pony
Wake up hangover-free down in New Orleans

[Verse 2]
I'll finally find a hurricane that chases
The bad mojo tied to my laces
Chop [?] to the banks of the Mississippi

[Chorus]
Every word tolls off my tongue
Into a song that's number one
The verse rings out while the guitars strum
The tunes I write make people hum

[Verse 2]
Different dates for the days of the week
Too many lines, not enough sleep
Gotta stay ahead of the next big thing

[Chorus]
Every word tolls off my tongue
Into a song that's number one
With the [?] to the eagle find
I'll read your mind, troubles are gone
Troubles are gone

[Verse 3]
I used to wake to the boxcar whiste
Twenty feet from my bedroom window
Feelin' dark as the ink on this bright white page
Sometimes when the words ain't comin'
I crack a cold one and roll me a number
That's when it all falls into place

[Chorus]
I only write number ones
The words I sing, people hum
With the sound of bass the angels cry
I read your mind, troubles are gone
Troubles are gone
Troubles are gone
(Troubles are gone)
