  1. [Lyric] The Hey Lah Dee Dah Song (Vance Gilbert)

    [Verse 1] You got your Daddy's money You got your Mama’s good looks They sent you off to college You read all the right books But when they break out the photos With the Christmas stuff You look more like the mailman And feel less like yourself Hey welcome back to the land of Meat and mashed potatoes You're breaking those connections But they won't...Learn More

  2. [Lyric] Old White Men (Vance Gilbert)

    [Verse 1] I was such a strange boy Forty years or so back then Fat with big thick ol’ glasses Trouble making friends Cruising through my neighborhood Could easily have come to no good end 'Til I stumbled into the workshops Of old white men [Verse 2] “Call your mother, you can stay” That’s about all they’d ever say Then they’d take the lid off Of...Learn More

  3. [Lyric] King of the Rails (Vance Gilbert)

    [Verse 1] If you don’t love me Then you don’t love me There’s nothing I can do or say Your heart has a Mind of it’s own That I can’t change [Verse 2] And if you don’t want me You really don’t want me Please let’s dispense with The kiss on the cheek so long And I’ll face the cold setting sun On my own [Chorus] Once upon a time the King of the...Learn More

  4. [Lyric] Icarus By Night Live (Vance Gilbert)

    [Verse 1] I only go up at night When the moon is full And the evening breezes blow I go only high enough To see the ground below [Verse 2] I only go up at night That's when no one else can see me Being foolish And wishing for one more chance To do it all again [Chorus] I was so much younger then And blinded by the beauty of the sun It looked so...Learn More

    [Verse 1] I've been driving these back roads For twenty odd years Delivering these goods To town after town I'm union I'm black I've got a wife and two kids I'll put 'em through college Dragging this trailer around [Verse 2] Now I've been in hundreds of these places That dot these dark highways They stay open all night With their bright neon...Learn More

  7. [Lyric] Goodbye Pluto (Vance Gilbert)

    [Verse 1] Goodbye Pluto So long to your tradition And your solo life's ambition Of just whirling 'round the sun Goodbye Pluto Being number nine was nice 'Til you lost your planetary status Now you're simply rock and ice There are eight that spin before you And they use up all the rays That the sun gives to her children To turn the night to day So...Learn More

  8. [Lyric] Watching A Good Thing Burn (Vance Gilbert)

    [Verse 1] She never gave a reason Said she didn't need one 'Cause the wind don't follow street signs Or traffic lights My misunderstanding I whispered to the window Watching her get smaller In the crowds passing by [Pre-Chorus] It's like waking up at Christmas In the land of broken toys To have the pieces swept unto my feet For...Learn More

  10. [Lyric] Im Watching My Heart (Vance Gilbert)

    [Verse 1] I can't be your guardian angel I can barely watch over myself You're wasting your dreams and your wishes on me When they should be for somebody else [Chorus] They should be for someone Who'd do more than listen I'm holding your hand But I'm out at arms length I'm keeping my distance I'm hearing you tell me your story You're telling your...Learn More

  12. [Lyric] Just Cant Go Like That (Vance Gilbert)

    [Verse 1] Like a fistful of the finest sand Love was hard to hold but it felt so grand As it slipped through both of our hands Now we're left with this goodbye The agreement was if you wanted out It's an even split and we had no doubt That if we crossed the T's and dotted all the I's There'd be no need to cry [Pre-Chorus] And in theory it was...Learn More
