LEAVING IN THE MORNING
Lonely Highway
Dark Roadside
I've been praying for forgiveness from my sins
I know the devil's got a place for me
I am gone
I am leavin' in the mornin'
What an angry and bitter fool am I
I have been much trouble then I'm worth
I have lusted
And stolen
And been stricken down.
I am gone
I am leavin' in the mornin'
And love
Ain't been no friend of mine
I said love
I am gone
I am leavin' when the mornin' comes
I am gone
I am leavin' in the mornin'
When they me underneath the ground
I want no one to shed a tear for me
I've lived life to it's fullest
And now I'm glory bound
I am gone
I am leavin' in the mornin'
I am gone
I am leavin' when the mornin' comes
I am gone
I am hangin' in the mornin'
TIRED & FIRED
Letters full of loveless lying
Say you'd rather leave than stay and try
Lay my head down when I'm tired
I'm always tired
I'm almost done
I don't mind it, I'm without you
Didn't mind to wait until you'd gone
Lay my head down when I'm tired
I'm always tired
I'm almost done
I don't mind it, not seeing daylight
Ain't afraid of darkness when it falls
Lay my head down when I'm tired
I'm always tired
I'm almost done
I know you ain't responsible only
Pushed away the feelings that you had
Why it might be impossible only
Staying awake with these feelings that I have
Afraid I found the thing that made you sad
Pull up all these lies
Say you'd rather leave than stay and try
Lay my head down when I'm tired
I'm always tired
I'm almost done
I'm always tired
I'm always tired
MR. CREWS
I was a gospel singer feasting on rattlesnakes
Karate saved my spirit, too much had to celebrate
Saddened, scarred my lover
Naked in Garden Hills
It don't lead to heaven
We'll survive on blood and grits
Mr Crews give me the news
Words are hard and bulletproof
Are we monsters? Are we fools?
Rednecks, rejects, lonely losers
So I finished off my whiskey
Nailhead blew out my goddamn ears
Candy had me trembling
Herman sh** out souveniers
Mr Crews give me the news
Words are hard and bulletproof
Are we monsters? Are we fools?
Rednecks, rejects, lonely losers
Her naked body makes me feel the pain
Like rattler venom running through your veins
I never seen this kind of beauty before,
Mud, blood, lost love, liquor, guns, who*es
Mr Crews give me the news
Words are hard and bulletproof
Are we monsters? Are we fools?
Rednecks, rejects, lonely losers
ME & JOE DROVE OUT TO CALIFORNIA....
Me and Joe drove out to California
opened it up under the cover of night
Me and Daniel south of the state line
with my cousins on the 4th of july
I've been ridin'
I've been ridin'
Sometimes I'll ride all night.
It ain't wastin' time if you just remember it right.
Sacramento we met up with Maria
heard that Bear has a rockin' band.
Love to call cuz I really wanna see you
hope you notice when we're coming around here again
and again
I ain't sick of what I'm in
I'll be coming again & again...
been to busy with my long lost friends
thinking, wonderin' how you've been
I never wanna say that part
off the road and say hello
We've been singing Ben's old sad songs
thinkin', wonderin' how've youve grown
never wanna say that part, off the road and say hello.
Drove on down to san anton (i'll let this be a mystery -Jon)
Im surprised
that you stayed all night
wasting time is just fine
BEAUTIFUL & DAMNED
Somebody should have said sorry
I know it don't come easy
Been alone a lot lately
Sometime this house feels so lonely
Then when you're right next to me
I overheard someone leavin'
You're sad little girl
Your eyes red like a rose
Your hands bleeding and broke
I believe in time
Time can heal your wounds if you can
You're beautiful and damned
Daylight saves what the nighttime brings
Can't forget our wedding rings
I know you're writin' how strong you must be to be with me
You're sad little girl
STRANGE
Can't wait to see you
Next time I see you
Last time I'd care to speak
She robbed in the day light
Cuz it just don't feel right
This time again
Back then
How'd this begin again?
How'd this begin
I don't mind sorrow
Leavin' again
But I don't feel ready again
Called me and told me
Just what to do
I might give in, I might get right
Someone to hold me
I know ain't lonely
Sleep right as I done for years
Way cross the water
I know my place is
This time again back then
This time I might give in
Why am I waiting? How can I live it
So leave
Leave
AMAZING G.
Well she paid with silver dollars
And she danced from bar to bar
Then she parked her rusty trailer
Down in the holler
Well she once believed in Jesus
But she never believed in love
Now she worships at the alter of alcohol
She wont falter when you dare her
To get up, dance on the bar
She'll just strip down except
And strut around
She's got a way of giving thanks
Make sure you'll never forget her name
Before you pa** out you'll say a prayer about Amazing Grace
She never dreamed of finding true love
She never dreamed that day was near
Until she stumbled into the mens room
And found me there
Well now I treat her just like a wonder
I hold her hair back when she throws up
But I still find her down in the gutter
Drinking with the bums
She's out looking for her lover
She will never have to wonder
Cuz she'll never spend another night alone
COUSINS
I ain't sure quite when I'll leave
But I'll be back someday
Boys I'd hoped that you would leave me
That I'd want to stay
Can't be everywhere all the time
Ain't what you'd want to do
I been driving miles and miles
To settle down with you
Lord, you know I miss my cousins
Women and children too
Woman at home keeps on trying
I might marry you
You know that I miss my father and my mother too
Friends and loved ones
And all the past ones
I'll be coming soon
Ooh I ain't depressed
With romantic ideas
When I've been arranging
For a long time on leaving
Lord, I feel so blessed
Well I came a call
When I last saw you
I was in the noose
I'd didn't care about the weather
You know that much is true
Hear me everywhere all the time
It ain't what you want to do
I've been driving miles and miles and miles
To settle down with you
Ooh I ain't depressed
With romantic ideas
When I've been arranging
For a long time on leaving
Lord, I feel so blessed
Lord, I
Ain't like Tater ever stole a car
DIRTY LIPS
You yell at me from across the street
A few choice words I can't repeat
I headed home, you headed south
I can't wait to kiss your dirty mouth
I saw you drinking at the bar
I heard you crash down on the floor
I helped you walk back to your house
I can't wait to kiss your dirty mouth
You're like a drunken sailor on leave
The kinda girl I like but can't believe
You really seem to get around
Since I got to kiss your dirty mouth
Saw you hanging with your friends
Your little party never ends
You must be talkin' too much sh**
Someone's gonna smash your pretty lips
You're like a drunken sailor on leave
The kinda girl I like but can't believe
You really seem to get around
Since I got to kiss your dirty mouth
You really seem to get around
Since I got to kiss your dirty mouth
FIRE & FLOOD
Fire and flood will find a namesake
Just like it found us before
I'm sorry old soul
Back from the wayback
I just can't explain it
Who could?
Just like it found us before
Just like it found us before
Just like it found us before
Just like it found us before
The earthquakes and tides
You're last midnight ride
Ease this resolve of your kind
Counted on the runway
Weren't meant to find
I can't explain it
Who could?
Just like it found us before
Just like it found us before
Just like it found us before
Just like it found us before
Just like it found us before
Just like it found us before
Just like it found us before
Just like it found us before
PARADISE GROUNDED
I roll around
I've been tied down by the sound
I have been grounded
I move around it
I've been tied down
Just been down
I have been grounded
Don't wanna to wake
To the sorry
I mighta been
Get gnarly
Wants to get down
THE CAUSE & THE CURE
All your friends have left you
All your tears have dried
You might absorb the truth
If you only tried
You tell me you don't need me
But I know that you're lying
While you ponder answers
I'll ask harder questions
Just promise you won't quit me
(And/or) I'll show you what d**h is
You won't believe the pain
But I'll lie and say it's heaven
I see you've lost your faith
All hope has been erased
Misplaced thoughts so pure
I am the cause and I am the cure
Torn apart your life
Diseased and left to die
Can't resist my sweet allure
I am the cause and I am the cure
All your friends have left you
All your friends have gone
The bitter truth will you sink you
While the air escapes your lungs
God has forsaken you
But the devil brings you home
I see you've lost your faith
All hope has been erased
Misplaced thoughts so pure
I am the cause and I am the cure
Torn apart your life
Diseased and left to die
Can't resist my sweet allure
I am the cause and I am the cure
I see you've lost your faith
All hope has been erased
Misplaced thoughts so pure
I am the cause and I am the cure
Torn apart your life
Diseased and left to die
Can't resist my sweet allure
I am the cause and I am the cure
Help me drag you down
Help me drag you down
Have another round
Help me drag you down
Have another round
The only way is down
