Best Behavior Everybody needs a little time Everybody’s got something on their mind Everybody wants to get away Everybody has something to say So many choices to make So many roads I can take And I know that… Everybody wants to settle down Then everybody goes underground So many wrongs to make right So many songs I’ve got to write And I know that… I may not have all the answers yet But I’ve been trying every flavor I don’t know how much further I’ll get But I’ve been on my best behavior Everybody wants to find the one Then everybody starts to come undone Everybody wants to feel alive But everybody struggles to survive This is the best I could do But is it good enough for you I know that… I may not have all the answers yet But I’ve been trying every flavor I don’t know how much further I’ll get But I’ve been on my best behavior ℗ & © 2017 Chip Greene (ASCAP)

River Song 03:27
River Song The river is wide and the river is long The river’s gonna take me to where I belong The river’s gonna wash away all of my sins The river will carry me home in the end When the rain starts falling, you better get away from the river Seek high ground You better start looking for shelter The river is song and the river is life The river is wrong and the river is right The river starts from a creek way upstream But the river gets fast and the river gets mean When the rain starts falling, you better get away from the river Seek higher ground You better start looking for shelter The sun don’t shine if the sky doesn’t cry You can’t blame everything on the weather The current is strong, it’ll carry you home But you better be a very good swimmer If you wanna survive the river The river will flood and the river will rise When the dam breaks the river will not compromise The river’s surrender, it can’t be controlled But if the river shows mercy it can save your soul When the rain starts falling, you better get away from the river Seek higher ground You better start looking for shelter The sun don’t shine if the sky doesn’t cry You can’t blame everything on the weather The current is strong, it’ll carry you home But you better be a very good swimmer If you wanna survive the river ℗ & © 2017 Chip Greene (ASCAP)

Let It Shine 02:18
Let It Shine Sometimes you make me nervous You know that I’m the cautious kind Is it really you or a disguise You know I’ve got good intentions But I’m getting closer to the borderline I want to climb this wall you hide behind The burden of commitment Your self defense has been undermined Let it go or it’ll haunt you down the line These are the days, these are the best of times Shake off that doubt, it’ll be alright Don’t misunderstand because I’m always by your side Won’t you let love in, won’t you let it shine I’m just looking for a true companion Conversation and a love sublime Somebody who’ll let me see inside The promise of connection An open heart, not a one track mind Walking hand in hand and side by side These are the days, these are the best of times Shake off that doubt, it’ll be alright Don’t misunderstand because I’m always by your side Won’t you let love in, won’t you let it shine ℗ & © 2017 Chip Greene (ASCAP)

In My Town 03:25
In My Town I watch all these kids play dress up In my town They’re coming from near and far They come from all around Maybe they’ll get a shot Grab the brass ring God knows they’ll do Just about anything I watch all of these old houses In my town, coming down There’s a wrecking ball on South Street Cranes in Germantown Maybe this is it We’re the big scene God knows we did Just about everything There’s a price tag on the skyline In my town They’re pushing us further out They’re bringing us down But we’re not moving yet We’re living the dream God knows we’ll do Just about anything ...In my town ℗ & © 2017 Chip Greene (ASCAP)

The Gig 02:57
The Gig So long since we started out together Miles and miles on the open road Good times, bad times, we hit some nasty weather But we’re still out here playing this song Keep the faith, my brother Stay true and stay strong No regrets just get lost in it Let the music carry you on and on Make your mind up, someday you will have her Take time, find rhyme, get up and go Just put one foot in front of the other No mistake, it’s a hard way to go Keep the faith, my brother Stay true and stay strong No regrets just get lost in it Let the music carry you on and on Upside, downside, it’s never the right time No shame end game, nothing to lose Always wise to keep holding your head high Guitar, tip jar, what’s left to prove? Keep the faith, my brother Stay true and stay strong No regrets just get lost in it Let the music carry you on and on ℗ & © 2017 Chip Greene (ASCAP)

North 02:22
North I’m going north Route 42 Inconsolable Irreconcilable I’m going north For a better view Said all there is to say I’ll come back another day Falling out of love I’m out of love Falling out of love I’m out of love I’m going north Just passing through Gotta be on my way These feet are made of clay Falling out of love I’m out of love Falling out of love I’m out of love I’m going north Route 42 Inconsolable Irreconcilable ℗ & © 2017 Chip Greene (ASCAP)

House of Mirrors Grab your cup of morning paranoia Grab a handle, better hang on tight The truth is out there but it might destroy ya It’s comin’ at you with a heavy price You know that it’s a house full of mirrors Watch out or you just might hit the wall I see right through your reflection Your deception will be your downfall Strange illusion came so unexpected This contusion left a sea of red Just a stone’s throw from the congregation Mass confusion and a hole in my head You know that it’s a house full of mirrors Watch out or you just might hit the wall I see right through your reflection Your deception will be your downfall Revolution on the television The resistance will be televised The promise of American carnage We ain’t going down without a fight You know that it’s a house full of mirrors Watch out or you just might hit the wall I see right through your reflection Your deception will be your downfall ℗ & © 2017 Chip Greene (ASCAP)

Luckiest Guy 02:21
Luckiest Guy Under September skies I can see stars In your eyes Now it’s time to begin Just take my hand We’ll take a ride Grab your coat and hang on tight It’s gonna get cold Who knows where we’ll end up But that’s alright You’re the finest woman that I’ve ever know And I am the luckiest guy Let’s stop and check out the view It’s been a while Since I’ve seen you An unexpected surprise You’re my piece of mind Long overdue Grab your coat and hang on tight It’s gonna get cold Who knows where we’ll end up But that’s alright You’re the finest woman that I’ve ever know And I am the luckiest guy It’s not complicated If you take it in stride It’s just what you make it We’re gonna make it alright Grab your coat and hang on tight It’s gonna get cold Who knows where we’ll end up But that’s alright You’re the finest woman that I’ve ever know And I am the luckiest guy ℗ & © 2017 Chip Greene (ASCAP)

You’ll See Me Coming It’s all been said before In every minor key The blue notes that decorate The family tree Negotiations have failed again We just disagree But failure isn’t compromise Let it be You’ll see me coming (It’s alright) Don’t come back looking For me Another fight in this little war The pendulum will swing You’ll walk out and slam the door On everything Would you take back the things you said Are you too proud to see We can always work it out I believe You’ll see me coming (It’s alright) Don’t come back looking For me ℗ & © 2017 Chip Greene (ASCAP)

about

“Local artist Chip Greene has a refined approach to melody, pressed through a smokey blues filter, which has given birth to his soulful, salt-of-the-earth rock and roll sound. Whipping up his very own version of everyman rock, with help from his fleet fingers, Chip Greene is poised to show Music City he’s as good as they come.”
-No Country For New Nashville (Excerpt from review of 'In My Town.')

Chip Greene Nashville

That alone doesn’t make him an original, but his meticulous examination of all the intricacies of a relationship is a great deal more detail-oriented than average.
