I'ma just keep watching I think my heart's stopping Nicotine fiend of a man I was born this way I'm a government slave And I was raised on stolen land And it's a hard up kinda life Begging the ashtray for nickels and dimes Writing these songs trying to wrap my mind around A bullshit American dream I'm still a six-gun owning Bet the truth hurts,...Learn More

You get me higher than the Vulcan Way up high atop red mountain Like the shoals of the Cahaba Cut their course and keep me counting Down the days 'til you're in my arms again And you are softer than the cotton Growing wild out in the fields Back when we were unbegotten Now this world is just a wheel And it's stirring up butterflies inside of us...Learn More

[Verse 1] Take me back to the days Of the river every evening Still the stage of meeting Still in flight Take me back to the nights We had nothing yet to lose We had it all to prove Wrong or right [Chorus] We were all just living Not too concerned Maybe nothing more was learned But we were free After all that giving Or at least we thought Never...Learn More

Dreadnoughts and deep thoughts They took all the energy That any sleep brought Late shift break hits off my cigarette And it's a lonely cough Sad, sad songs Spinnin' around in my mind Lonesome and long in time And I've never been so happy And never felt so good I've never been so happy And I never thought I could Writing these sad, sad...Learn More

All these stoic faces Walking around this town Well I guess they all got that way From always looking down Trying to hide the tears And the pain from all the work Lord knows the work round here Well it usually tends to hurt You can't hide that darkness When it's wrapped around your eyes From spending all your days Somewhere down there in the...Learn More

[Verse 1] I can't give you all the things you've never had I can't sing away the things that make you sad I can't be there when you need me to be I can't fix your eyes and try to help you see [Chorus] While I ain't there, this is all for you And I don't care if you're scared of the truth 'Cause I got lost just when I thought that I'd been...Learn More

[Verse 1] She was born in Georgia At a real unfortunate time Her dad had been laid off at the factory They didn't feel the need to let him know why Her momma, she was a lost cause She’d been that way for years She'd take more to the alcohol Than anybody'd care to hear On the day she turned sixteen She took her a job in the town It’d been about...Learn More

When I first came to Earth I was young and free And that's just the way things were When I first came to be Fell just like a star Through the atmosphere Exploded into pieces They're all scattered 'round down here Twenty-five years into this And I barely made a cent But I've found a few good reasons now That help me hang around One has her...Learn More
