-->One more drink leads to another\\
You slide up close to me\\
Tear the t-shirts off each other\\
Your hands all over me\
I tell myself I'm not in love\\
But one more time is not enough\\
One last kiss and then you're a goner\\
And I'm here wishing you could stay a little longer

CountryMusic duo consisting of brothers T.J. and John Osborne. T.J. is the lead singer, and John plays lead guitar.

Hailing from Deale, Maryland, the brothers performed locally for many years before securing a contract with EMI Nashville in 2013. While their first two singles "Let's Go There" and "Rum" didn't make much noise, they notched a major hit in late 2015-early 2016 with the ballad "Stay a Little Longer". Their debut album ''Pawn Shop'' came out in 2016, garnering critical acclaim for their strong lyrics and musicianship. Other hits from the album included "21 Summer" and "It Ain't My Fault". A second disc, ''Port Saint Joe'', followed in 2018.

In addition to their own work, the Brothers have collaborated with Music/DierksBentley and David Nail. Their sound draws influence from Southern rock and outlaw country, with particular notice on T.J.'s deep resonant voice and John's guitar skills.
