  1. [Lyric] American Dream (Drayton Farley)

    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

  2. [Lyric] Higher Than the Vulcan (Drayton Farley)

    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

  3. [Lyric] Take Me Back (Drayton Farley)

    [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

  4. [Lyric] Tightrope (Drayton Farley)

    [Verse 1] If I could melt the mountains and petrify the seas Then I'd wake up to find that I was not who I should be And if I could take the ballast and turn it into gold Distribute all the pieces to the poor and the old [Chorus] 'Cause maybe it's not where you're at Maybe it's not who you are Maybe it's not all so bad Maybe the night ain't so...Learn More

  5. [Lyric] Stoic Faces (Drayton Farley)

    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

  6. [Lyric] Dear Haven (Drayton Farley)

    [Verse 1] Dear Haven I've had a mind to write you A little song that might find you later on Dear Haven There's so much I'd like to tell you I've sat right here and held you all night long [Chorus] Your Daddy loves you so much Your momma loves you too We're gonna do our best to show you Oh we've got so much to prove Welcome to this world,...Learn More

  7. [Lyric] Counted Costs (Drayton Farley)

    [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

  8. [Lyric] Georgia (Drayton Farley)

    [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

  9. [Lyric] Atmosphere (Drayton Farley)

    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
