Take me out into the country Let me breathe the open sky The soft cool earth will be my pillow Alone together we will lie It’s a long, lonely road And it’s a long, long, way to go Where we’re going no one knows What’s the hurry? Let’s take it slow Cause it’s a long, long way to go The autumn leaves they turn to winter The shadows blanket all the...Learn More

I came into this life with a crooked smile The world just frowned right back at me The kid with dirty hair and one fist in the air There’s millions more just like me I counted on myself I don’t need no one else That’s just what I had to do Sometimes you gotta fight to keep your dreams alive It’s the only way to make it through Cause you can beat...Learn More

When you hit rock bottom you built all your castles on sand You’ve got ashes in your pockets – and blood on your hands Now you’ve run out of options you think that you’ve had enough You’ve let down yourself and all of the people you love You’re worried that you might be losing touch Look around there’s nobody left you can trust What was the cost?...Learn More

She’s sick of everybody – he’s sick of everything Two punks behind the alley – frustration every day Goes up and cops on 6th street tells her ‘It’s okay.’ Fixes inside the bathroom – watches it all fall away If I have to take the pain – get it over quick No one ever tells you that this life could be like this No one ever tells you that the streets...Learn More

When you lost hope but you’re still hoping for Some way to make an escape to believe You’ve been let down You’ve been tossed out You just get your stuff and you walk out When you don’t belong some kind of refugee Some thrown out piece of trash You’ve been held down You’ve been locked out Gotta lose that weight keeping you down All you know is...Learn More

Have you ever been cheated by a friend?

Throwing rocks at the oval office Slap at the hand when food is offered I don’t care I came unprepared for this life We dig graves and fill up our pockets Climb into metal rockets Strap us in – hold our breath – and hope we never die It’s only – a short time before we hit the ground It’s only – a show that never lasts It’s only – a trip around the...Learn More

My kingdom for a drink It helps me not to think Not so much about giving up A little more like just my luck And how I can do anything So let’s hide out at the bar Hope the phone won’t reach this far We’re getting older day by day And the whiskey helps to wash away All these feelings in my heart After the last shot goes down That’s when I start...Learn More

Had a dream that I was following your ghost Stripped your closets bare and spread out all your clothes You smiled and waved and then I sadly watched you go To Give up what you cherish the most Don’t Lay Me Down - Don’t Fall Asleep I’m drowning and I can’t speak Don’t Wake me Up - Don’t Fall Asleep Leave me happy in your dreams Don’t Wake me...Learn More

I have taken all the blame Broke down, cussed out, locked up Gone down in flames And I have paid such a heavy price The slings and arrows of life Wounded my pride Back and forth I’ve answered every call I never once gave up once through it all ‘Cause I feel like the bastard son Of the vile and unlucky ones Riding off in the desert sun A sick dog...Learn More
