Release date: April 8, 2008
This new self-titled album from Jeff Bates is his first on his new label, Black River Music Group, and the first single from the album is "Don't Hate Me for Loving You." Jeff says that the album is the most honest and accurate representation of him and his music yet. He co-wrote 10 of the 13 tracks on the album, and the stories in these songs come from little pieces of his life. The album captures the moments that are the most important to him: strong family ties, love of a good woman, appreciation for the working man, and deep religious beliefs.
Jimmy Nichols co-produced the album with Kenny Beard and Mickey Jack Cones.

FOUR BY FOUR CHEVEROLET
CHICK MAGNET ALL THE WAY
KEPT HER ARMOR-ALLED AND WAXED AND SHINED AND BUFFED
GOT A GOOD FRIEND DOWN AT THE GOODYEAR
WE GET TOGETHER TALK TIRES AND DRINK BEER
HE GAVE ME A GOOD DEAL ON SOME GOOD WHEELS FOR MY TRUCK
I WAS TRYING EM’ OUT WHEN SOME ADOLESCENT IN A TRANS AM
RAN A RED LIGHT AND ALL I HEARD WAS BAM! DAMN!
CHORUS:
I CAN’T HAVE NOTHIN’ NICE
WORKED HARD ALL MY LIFE
EVERYTIME I GET A PIECE OF THE PIE
IF SOMEBODY DON’T SNATCH IT OR TAKE ‘EM A BITE
IT SLIDES RIGHT OFF THE PLATE INTO THE BEANS AND RICE
I CAN’T HAVE NOTHIN’ NICE
NO I CAN’T HAVE NOTHIN’ NICE
FOR EXAMPLE, I SAVED UP AND BOUGHT ME A PLACE
A FIX ER UP OUT ON THE LAKE
GAVE IT TENDER LOVIN’ CARE AND ELBOW GREASE
I MET A GIRL DOWN AT THE MARINA WE TALKED BAIT AND DRANK MARGARITAS
SHE GAVE ME A LIP LOCK OUT ON THE BOAT DOCK AND SHE HOOKED ME
BEFORE TOO LONG WE WERE HUMMIN’ ALONG TO WEDDING BELLS
THEN SHE KICKED ME OUT AND PUT MY HOUSE UP FOR SALE
(WELL HELL!)
CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
I GOT A BRAND NEW CHEVY IN THE JUNK YARD
A MEMORY OF A HOUSE AND A BROKEN HEART
AND I SURE HOPE MY DREAMS DON’T COME TRUE TWICE!
CHORUS:
I CAN’T HAVE NOTHIN’ NICE
WORKED HARD ALL MY LIFE
I CAN’T HAVE NOTHIN’ NICE (THAT’S RIGHT) |

ONE COFFEE CUP, ONE TOOTHBRUSH
ONE SET OF KEYS, ONE CAR OUT IN THE DRIVE
ONE HALF OF THE CLOSET OF THE EMPTY
ONE HALF OF THE BED COLD AT NIGHT
ONE OF US JUST UP AND DISSAPEARED
THAT ONLY LEAVES ONE OF US AROUND HERE
LONESOME, CAN DRIVE A MAN INSANE
LONESOME, IT’S THE SAD PART OF THE GAME
WIN SOME, LOSE SOME
LONESOME
ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN
ONE TOO MANY COLD AND BITTER FIGHTS
ONE HIGH POWERED LAWYER LATER
ONE PIECE OF PAPER THEY WANT ME TO SIGN
THE HAND SHE USED TO HOLD PICKS UP THE PEN
AND ALL AT ONCE REALITY SETS IN
CHORUS:
YEAH YOU WIN SOME, OR YOU LOSE SOME
LONESOME
LONESOME
LONESOME
LONESOME |

I WASN’T PUT HERE ON THIS EARTH
TO WORK LIKE I DO ALLWEEK
I DON’T LIVE TO PUNCH THAT CLOCK
AND COME HOME AND EAT AND SLEEP
I WAS MADE FOR SOMETHING MORE
AND GOD’S MADE IT PRETTY CLEAR
I’M ONLY HERE
CHORUS:
FOR ONE THING AND ONE THING ONLY
TO LOVE YOU AND KEEP YOU FROM EVER GETTING LONELY
TO BE YOUR ROCK THAT NEVER ROLLS
TO HOLD YOUR BODY, TOUCH YOUR SOUL
AND FILL YOUR EVERY NEED
I’M ONLY HERE FOR ONE THING
HOW MANY MEN WALK THROUGH THIS LIFE
AND NEVER EVEN KNOW
THE REASON THEY’RE ALIVE
AND THEN IT’S TIME TO GO
BUT I DON’T EVER HAVE TO WONDER
CAUSE BABY WHEN YOU’RE NEAR
I KNOW I’M HERE

IN HER CUT OFF JEANS AND HER JOHN DEERE CAP
SHE CAN PUT THE BOONDOCKS SQUARE ON THE MAP
SHE CAN RIDE IN AN OLD TRUCK WITH DENTS IN THE DOORS
AND MAKE IT LOOK LIKE IT ROLLED OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR
SHE MAKES DIRT LOOK GOOD WHEN IT GETS ON HER HANDS
CHORUS:
NOBODY DOES IT
NOBODY DOES IT LIKE A COUNTRY GIRL CAN
MAKE A CITY BOY WISH HE HAD A FARMER’S TAN
‘CAUSE WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO LOVIN’ HER MAN
NOBODY DOES IT LIKE A COUNTRY GIRL CAN
SHE’S THE 4-H QUEEN AT THE COUNTY FAIR
AND THE BELLE OF THE BALL AT A BLACK TIE AFFAIR
SHE CAN TO NEW YORK N TELL ‘EM ALL HEY YA’LL
LEAVE THE WHOLE TOWN TALKIN’ IN A SOUTHERN DRAWL
IF YOU’VE EVER SEEN ONE THEN YOU’LL UNDERSTAND
CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
SHE COOK A MEAN FRIED CHICKEN, A COUNTRY GIRL CAN
TEACH YA SOMETHIN BOUT FISHIN, A COUNTRY GIRL CAN
REV UP YOUR ENGINE, A COUNTRY GIRL CAN
MAKE A BLIND MAN WHISTLE WHEN SHE WALKS IN
CHORUS:
NOBODY DOES IT
NOBODY DOES IT LIKE A COUNTRY GIRL CAN
MAKE A CITY BOY WISH HE HAD A FARMER’S TAN
‘CAUSE WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO LOVIN’ HER MAN
NOBODY DOES IT
NOBODY DOES IT
NOBODY DOES IT LIKE A COUNTRY GIRL CAN |

IF THERE EVER WAS A MORNING WHEN THE FISH MIGHT BITE IT WOULD BE RIGHT NOW
ANY OTHER TIME WE’D HAVE DONE HAD OUR LINES CAST OUT
SIPPING ON A JUG OF MOMMA’S SWEET ICED TEA CATCHIN THEM OLD CAT
WHY COULDN’T TODAY BE LIKE THAT
CHORUS:
I WISH THIS WAS A RIVERBANK
INSTEAD OF A GRAVEYARD
I WISH WE WERE SITTIN’ AND FISHIN’
AND THIS WOULDN’T BE SO HARD
IT WAS MY FAVORITE THING THAT WE USED TO DO
BUT NOW WE CAN’T
I WISH YOU WERE HERE
I WISH THIS WAS A RIVERBANK
REMEMBER THE DAY WHEN I BAITED MY HOOK WITH A CHUNK OF HAM
I GOT A BIG BITE AND HE YANKED THE POLE RIGHT OUT OF MY HANDS
YOU JUMPED UP AND YOU GRABBED THE NET AND WE BOTH JUMPED IN
WE GOT WET, BUT WE GOT HIM
CHORUS:
I KNOW YOU WOULDN’T WANT ME JUST SITTIN AROUND AND BEIN SAD
YOU TAUGHT ME BETTER THAN THAT
SO I’M LEAVING NOW GONNA HEAD ON OUT
AND TRY TO CATCH A FEW
AND WHILE I’M THERE
I’LL CAST A LINE FOR YOU
I WISH THIS WAS A RIVERBANK
INSTEAD OF A GRAVEYARD
I WISH WE WERE SITTIN’ AND FISHIN’
AND THIS WOULDN’T BE SO DAMN HARD
IT WAS MY FAVORITE THING THAT WE USED TO DO
BUT NOW WE CAN’T
I WISH YOU WERE HERE
I WISH YOU WERE HERE
I WISH YOU WERE HERE
I WISH THIS WAS A RIVERBANK |

FIRE RED T-BIRD MADE ME LOOK A LITTLE OUT OF STYLE
AS I SIT THERE IN DADDY’S OLD BELLE-AIR
AND I LOOK FOR THE QUARTER MILE
EVERYBODY FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL
SHOWED UP AND GATHERED ROUND
I WAS SCARED TO DEATH AND PRAYING TO MYSELF
NOW CHEVY DON’T LET ME DOWN
BECKY JOE DROPPED THE TOWEL ON THE ROAD
AND WE BOTH STEPPED ON THE GAS
WE WERE RUNNING NECK AND NECK
WHEN WE MEETS THE OVERPASS
HE WAS PUSHING THAT T-BIRD
AND I HEARD MAKE AN AWFUL SOUND
I JUST LAUGHED AND I PATTED THE DASH
AND SAID CHEVY DON’T LET ME DOWN
CHORUS:
DON’T LET ME DOWN
THAT STEADY OLD CHEVY HAS SEEN ME HAPPY AND SEEN ME SAD
WE CRUISED THROUGH A LOT OF GOOD TIMES
AND ROLLED OUT THE BAD
IT’LL NEVER SEE A FOR SALE SIGN
AS LONG AS I’M AROUND
YEAH, FRIENDS MAY COME AND FRIENDS MAY GO
BUT THAT CHEVY DON’T LET ME DOWN
IT’S BEEN KNOWN TO RUN HOT PUT HER OUT FROM TIME TO TIME
AND THAT’S JUST WHAT IT DID ON AN OLD DIRT ROAD
WITH BECKY JOE SITTING BY MY SIDE
WHILE WE WAITED FOR IT TO COOL OFF
THINGS HEATED UP ALL AROUND
YEAH I MIGHT HAVE MISSED THAT VERY FIRST KISS
BUT THIS CHEVY DON’T LET ME DOWN
LATER ON SHE AND I SPENT MANY A NIGHT
WITH THE TOP DOWN UNDER THE MOON
AND AFTER THE WEDDING IT TOOK ME AND BECKY
ON A HELL OF A HONEYMOON
CHORUS:
YOU KNOW, FRIENDS MAY COME AND FRIENDS MAY GO
BUT THAT CHEVY DON’T LET ME DOWN |
Don't Hate Me For Lovin You |

I CAN’T HELP MYSELF
BABY, I’VE TRIED AND I’VE TRIED
BUT I JUST DON’T WANT NOBODY ELSE
YOU, DID THIS TO ME
YOU LIT A FIRE THAT’S STILL BURNING DOWN DEEP IN MY SOUL
AND NOW YOU EXPECT ME TO JUST LET YOU GO
CHORUS:
DON’T HATE ME FOR LOVING YOU
IT’S ALL THAT I KNOW TO DO
YOU’RE MY EVERYTHING
DON’T ASK ME TO GIVE YOU UP
I LIVE FOR YOUR TENDER TOUCH
OH, DON’T BE SO MEAN
DON’T HATE ME FOR LOVING YOU
DON’T HATE ME FOR LOVING YOU
DON’T HATE ME FOR LOVING YOU
DREAMS, YOU’RE STILL IN MY DREAMS
SOMETIMES SO REAL THAT I STILL FEEL YOU LAYING RIGHT HERE NEXT TO ME
I’M SO SORRY I CALLED
I KNOW IT’S LATE AND THE LAST THING YOU WANT ME TO SAY
IS I MISS YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE EVERY DAY
DON’T HATE ME FOR LOVING YOU
IT’S ALL THAT I KNOW TO DO
YOU’RE MY EVERYTHING
DON’T ASK ME TO GIVE YOU UP
I LIVE FOR YOUR TENDER TOUCH
OH, DON’T BE SO MEAN
DON’T HATE ME FOR LOVING YOU

LIFE’S LIKE AN OCEAN, WE’RE ALL JUST FLOATING
LIKE WAVES HEADING TO SOME FAR OFF LAND
WE ALL WANT TO RIDE HIGH, CLOSER TO A BLUE SKY
BUT SOME CRASH BEFORE THEY GET THE CHANCE
SO I’M GONNA ROLL, WHILE I STILL CAN
SO I CAN SAY TO MYSELF…WHEN I REACH THE SAND
CHORUS 1:
I DID EVERYTHING I WANTED TO
CHASED EVERY DREAM AND MADE IT COME TRUE
TREATED EVERY BREATH THAT I WAS GIVEN
LIKE A PRECIOUS GIFT SENT FROM HEAVEN
AND WHEN THE WATER’S ALL BEHIND ME
I WANNA KNOW WITH EVERYTHING INSIDE ME
I COULDN’T HAVE DONE ANY MORE
I WANNA RAISE MY HANDS UP HIGH
WHEN MY WAVE HITS THE SHORE
I FELT THE RAIN POUR, BEEN THROUGH SOME MEAN STORMS
AND MORE THAN ONCE THEY ALMOST TOOK ME DOWN
BUT WHILE I WAS FALLING GOD MUST HAVE HEARD ME CALLING
CAUSE HE SAW FIT, KEEPING ME AROUND
SO I’M GONNA ROLL, WHILE I STILL CAN
SO I CAN SAY TO MYSELF…WHEN I REACH THE SAND
CHORUS 2:
I DID EVERYTHING I WANTED TO
CHASED EVERY DREAM AND MADE IT COME TRUE
TREATED EVERY BREATH THAT I WAS GIVEN
LIKE A PRECIOUS GIFT SENT FROM HEAVEN
AND WHEN THE WATER’S ALL BEHIND ME
I WANNA KNOW WITH EVERYTHING INSIDE OF ME
I COULDN’T HAVE DONE ANY MORE
I WANNA DANCE UPON THE TIDE
WHEN MY WAVE HITS THE SHORE
BEFORE MY DAYS ARE DONE, BEFORE MY RACE IS RUN
BEFORE MY WAVE HITS THE SHORE
GONNA DO EVERYTHING I WANTED TO
CHASE EVERY DREAM AND MAKE IT COME TRUE
TREAT EVERY BREATH THAT I’VE BEEN GIVEN
LIKE A PRECIOUS GIFT SENT FROM HEAVEN
AND WHEN THE WATER’S ALL BEHIND ME
I WANNA KNOW WITH EVERYTHING INSIDE ME
I COULDN’T HAVE DONE ANYMORE
I’M GONNA RAISE ME HANDS UP HIGH
I’M GONNA DANCE UPON THE TIDE
WHEN MY WAVE HITS THE SHORE |

WORK SUCKS WHEN YOUR BUSTIN YOUR BUTT
JUST TO COME UP SHORT AT THE END OF THE MONTH
AND IT’S BAD WHEN YOUR CHECKBOOK’S SAD
AND YOU CAN’T PARTY HARD CAUSE THERE AIN’T NO CREDIT ON YOUR CREDIT CARD
AIN’T NO SENSE IN YA GETTING ALL MAD
CAUSE SOME DAYS ARE JUST LIKE THAT
CHORUS:
BUT SOMEDAYS ARE LIKE THIS
YOU SWING FOR THE FENCE AND YOU JUST CAN’T MISS
WHEN LIFE GOES LIKE YOU KNOW IT SHOULD
IT’S ALL GOOD IN THE HILLBILLY HOOD
EVERYTHING’S COOL EVERYTHING’S RIGHT
YOU COULDN’T SCREW IT UP EVEN IF YOU TRIED
SOME DAYS ARE HELL BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS
SOME DAYS ARE LIKE THIS
LIFE’S CRAP WHEN YOU’RE SLEEPIN ON THE COUCH
CAUSE OF SOMETHIN THAT YOU SAID AND YOU GOTTA GO WITHOUT
YEAH IT STINKS WHEN YOU AIN’T IN SYNC WITH THE ONE THAT YOU LOVE
AND YOU CAN’T FIND YOUR WAY TO THE WAY IT WAS
DON’T WRITE IT OFF AS A DEAL GONE BAD
CAUSE SOME DAYS ARE JUST LIKE THAT
CHORUS:
BUT SOME DAYS ARE LIKE THIS
YOU WAKE UP IN THE MONIRNG TO A SMILE AND A BIG KISS
WHEN LOVE GOES LIKE OU KNOW IT SHOULD
IT’S ALL GOOD IN THE HILLBILLY HOOD
EVERYTHING’S COOL EVERYTHING’S RIGHT
YOU COULDN’T SCREW IT UP EVEN IF YOU TRIED

WE DIDN’T KNOW FOR SURE BUT EVERYBODY SAID
THAT OLD BOY AIN’T RIGHT IN THE HEAD
HE’S A LITTLE SLOW
WE’D HIDE IN THE BUSHES NOT MAKE A SOUND
WHEN HE’D WALK BY WE’D PUSH HIM DOWN ON THAT DIRT ROAD
I WAS JUST AS GUILTY AS MY FRIENDS
WE HAD A LOT OF LAUGHS AT HIS EXPENSE
CHORUS:
HE WASN’T LIKE US
HE WASN’T COOL
HE’D JUST SMILE EVEN WHILE WE WERE BEING CRUEL
HE STOOD OUT
HE DIDN’T FIT IN
BUT WE KEPT THROWIN’ THE STONES NO WE DIDN’T LET UP ON HIM
HE NEVER SAID A MEAN WORD NO HE NEVER EVEN MADE A FUSS
‘CAUSE HE WASN’T LIKE US
LATER ON HE MADE A NAME IN OUR TOWN
FOR HANGIN’ OUT AND RUNNIN’ AROUND WITH THE ROUGH CROWD
THEY WERE BOZERS AND LOSERS AND LOW CLASS BROADS
BUT HE SAW GOOD IN THEM NOBODY ELSE SAW AND HE BROUGHT IT OUT
THEN THE RUMORS STARTED FLYIN’ THAT HE WAS SOME KINDA HOLY MAN
BUT WE SET EM’ STRAIGHT AND TOLD ‘EM TO HIS FACE HE WAS A CRAZY MAN
CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
WELL, I REMEMBER THE DAY HE GOT IN TROUBLE WITH THE LAW
THEY CUSSED HIM AND KICKED HIM AND MOCKED HIM AND WHIPPED HIM
THEN THEY NAILED HIM TO THE CROSS
HE WASN’T LIKE US, HE DIDN’T FIT IN
AND I FELL DOWN ON MY KNEES AND WEPT FOR HIM
HE NEVER SAID A MEAN WORD NO HE NEVER EVEN MADE A FUSS
HE NEVER DID NOTHING WRONG ALL HE EVER DID WAS LOVE
HE WASN’T LIKE US
HE WASN’T LIKE US |

IT’S 4AM I’M HEADED NORTH STRAIGHT UP 65
I COULDN’T SLEEP A WINK ALL NIGHT SO I JUST HAD TO DRIVE
I KNOW I’M GONNA SEE YOU WHEN I GET TO LOUSVILLE
ONLY PROBLEM IS I JUST DON’T KNOW HOW YOU’RE GONNA FEEL
THAT COLD KENTUCKY RAIN IS POURING FROM MY RADIO
WHILE A VOICE INSIDE MY HEAD IS SCREAMING I JUST GOTTA KNOW
COULD THIS BE OUR RESSURECTION COULD IT BE A BRAND NEW START
OR THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN THAT HOLDS OUR BROKEN HEARTS
CHORUS:
IS IT DEAD OR ALIVE
TOO FAR GONE OR CAN IT BE REVIVED
DID I KILL IT OR DOES A LITTLE LOVE SURVIVE
IS IT DEAD OR ALIVE
I KEEP MY EYES STRAIGHT AHEAD
BETWEEN THESE TWO WHITE LINES
WHILE MY MIND IS IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR LOOKING BACK IN TIME
I’M HAUNTED BY THE MEMORIES OF HOW I LET US DOWN
CAN WE PATCH IT UP OR SHOULD WE PUT OUR LOVE IN THE GROUND
CHORUS:
THERE’S ONE THING I NEVER SAID
I SHOULD’VE SAID TO YOU
I HOPE IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO LET YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I DO
I JUST PRAY YOU HAVEN’T LAID YOUR LOVE FOR ME TO REST
ANOTHER COUPLE OF MILES WELL AND I WON’T HAVE TO GUESS
IF ITS…
