(Hey bud, I haven't heard from you in a couple of days)
(I was really hoping to catch you before your show)
(Everybody's missing you but we're all so proud of you)
(It was really hot here this week)
(You're lucky enough to be missing out on baling hay)
(I'm sure your dad and grandpa would have loved to have your help)
(Anyway, have a great show and please, just give me a call when you can)
(I always love you more)
When days were bright and I was young
You'd talk to me, say, "Hey, my son
The world only gets colder as you age"
Now so many nights have led me here
Thinking 'bout the things I fear
When will I finally get some f*cking rest?
And just like whiskey going down
My throat burns just to speak out loud
Why cannot I not clear my own damn head?
But I'm alright, I'm okay
I will always be the man you raised
I know it's hard on the darkest days
But the moon could never steal your son away
All my love is set in stone
And if I die, you get my throne
I'm sorry for the time I spent
On my own in this trench
I know it kills you that I am alone
But the boys out here won't let me die
And if it was my final night
I'd talk to you until I could not speak
Then with minutes left I'd crack a joke
Tell you 'bout the songs I wrote
And pray that they live long after my time
But I'm alright, I'm okay
I will always be the man you raised
I know it's hard on the darkest days
But the moon will never steal your son away
All my love is set in stone
And if I die, you get my throne
'Cause I'm alright, I'm okay
I will always be the man you raised
I know it's hard on the darkest days
But the moon can never steal your son away
All my love is set in stone
And if I die, you get my throne

Cold, Dark Place
There's a house in the hills with a love that we used to hold
Got memories for miles and miles without a thing to show
Lord, I know it's my fault that it all went to hell that night
Even though I'm the reason we broke, I still take your side
Maybe I had to let you go
Lose it all and learn a little late
Maybe leaving you was a one-way
Bad bet ticket to a cold, dark place
The thought of you is eating at my bones
Every road leads to your face
Maybe leaving you was a one-way
Bad bet ticket to a cold, dark place
It's a different kind of quiet when I no longer get your calls
And I know you don't hear it
But I've been screaming your name through these walls
After all, I've lost the man I used to be
I took a lot of wrong turns to find the answer looking back at me
Maybe I had to let you go
Lose it all and learn a little late
Maybe leaving you was a one-way
Bad bet ticket to a cold, dark place
The thought of you is eating at my bones
Every road leads to your face
Maybe leaving you was a one-way
Bad bet ticket to a cold, dark place
Got memories for miles and miles without a thing to show
Lord, I know it's my fault that it all went to hell that night
Even though I'm the reason we broke, I still take your side
Maybe I had to let you go
Lose it all and learn a little late
Maybe leaving you was a one-way
Bad bet ticket to a cold, dark place
The thought of you is eating at my bones
Every road leads to your face
Maybe leaving you was a one-way
Bad bet ticket to a cold, dark place
It's a different kind of quiet when I no longer get your calls
And I know you don't hear it
But I've been screaming your name through these walls
After all, I've lost the man I used to be
I took a lot of wrong turns to find the answer looking back at me
Maybe I had to let you go
Lose it all and learn a little late
Maybe leaving you was a one-way
Bad bet ticket to a cold, dark place
The thought of you is eating at my bones
Every road leads to your face
Maybe leaving you was a one-way
Bad bet ticket to a cold, dark place

Thought Of You
It's like the weight of the world is attacking me so slowly
It's the knowing that no one will know me like you know me
They say life's for the living, but most days, I can't agree
'Cause it don't make much sense to be here if you're not here with me
I woke up in the dark with your voice in these walls
Talking like how we used to do
Every memory burns like the leaves in the fall
You were here, now you're gone
So I'll just hold the thought of you
I'll just hold the thought of you
I'll just hold the thought of you
(And I'll just hold the thought of you)
Remember being too young when the grass was still at our knees
You're the one that I lost but the only one that I need
They say life's for the living, but these days, I'd rather be a ghost
'Cause it don't make much sense to be here if I'm on my own
I woke up in the dark with your voice in the walls
Talking like how we used to do
Every memory burns like the leaves in the fall
You were here, now you're gone
So I'll just hold the thought of you
I'll just hold the thought of you
I'll just hold the thought of you
(And I'll just hold the thought of you)
It's the knowing that no one will know me like you know me
They say life's for the living, but most days, I can't agree
'Cause it don't make much sense to be here if you're not here with me
I woke up in the dark with your voice in these walls
Talking like how we used to do
Every memory burns like the leaves in the fall
You were here, now you're gone
So I'll just hold the thought of you
I'll just hold the thought of you
I'll just hold the thought of you
(And I'll just hold the thought of you)
Remember being too young when the grass was still at our knees
You're the one that I lost but the only one that I need
They say life's for the living, but these days, I'd rather be a ghost
'Cause it don't make much sense to be here if I'm on my own
I woke up in the dark with your voice in the walls
Talking like how we used to do
Every memory burns like the leaves in the fall
You were here, now you're gone
So I'll just hold the thought of you
I'll just hold the thought of you
I'll just hold the thought of you
(And I'll just hold the thought of you)

G-PA
My Grandson Sam has been acting real different lately
Not sure where he's getting these fancy lyrics from
But his mind's always on the move
Used to be on the farm, but now he's lost in his notebook
Or strumming his guitar
He's always chasing after new ideas
His mom says it's just him being creative
But I can't help but wonder what's going on in his head
Seems like he's got a restless mind that won't sit still
Not sure where he's getting these fancy lyrics from
But his mind's always on the move
Used to be on the farm, but now he's lost in his notebook
Or strumming his guitar
He's always chasing after new ideas
His mom says it's just him being creative
But I can't help but wonder what's going on in his head
Seems like he's got a restless mind that won't sit still

Restless Mind
[ Featuring Avery Anna ]
It's 2AM, the TV's on
Am I alright? Hell, I don't know
It's getting harder to be myself
Every dim lit corner of this house
As cold as you when you walked out
And said I didn't know how to love
I pray at night to get relief
In a bloodstained bible that I read
Besides the nights that I do drink
To see you home's my dying wish
But that's just something god can't fix
There's no good days on this side of hell
You said, watch the way that you light that wick
'Cause the field's getting dryer and it burns up quick
Like the way your restless mind
Lets in every demon when you don't know why
When the walls close in
And I'm lost in all my sin
If heaven lets me in
Will I see your face again?
I can't be your angel all the time
Only god knows that I've tried
Can't fix every broken part of you
You spent so much time just living in the dark
And I hope you know that wherever you are
There's two paths you can take
And I said, watch the way that you light that wick
'Cause the field's getting dryer and it burns up quick
Like the way your restless mind
Lets in every demon when you don't know why
When the walls close in
And I'm lost in all my sin
If heaven lets me in
Will I see your face again?
You've spent so much time just living in the dark
And I hope you know that wherever you are
We've spent so much time just living in the dark
And I hope you know that wherever we are
There's two paths you can take
And you said watch the way that you light that wick
'Cause the field's getting dryer and it burns up quick
Like the way your restless mind
Lets in every demon when you don't know why
When the walls close in (when the walls close in)
And I'm lost in all my sin (I'm lost in all my sin)
If heaven lets me in
Will I see your face again?

Due Time
Days are hard and I've added a couple scars
But I swear that I'll be home in due time
'Cause I'm away for work when I should be holding her
But I guess I's built too stubborn for this life
I can see her in the yard screaming, "Damn that old guitar
If you want me, boy, you'd better get here fast"
But the more that I skip town, the more that I find out
This body of mine wasn't made to last
If I was there, I'd let you know that the love I got is whole
And it's all right here if you'd just taken my hand
Then we'd dance through the lawn, drinking whiskey till we fall
But clearly God, He had different plans
'Cause I'm too drunk for you and I'm too strung out for me
So I guess now I'm my own worst enemy
From the body that I bleed to the bar smoke air I breathe
Well, I promise you, I'll be back in due time
Torn and withdrawn, every thought I have feels wrong
Where do I go when I cannot find faith?
I'm all out of dreams and I ain't heard you speak in weeks
Well, I need you now more than I need me
Just like the boards beneath my feet held by trust do shift and creak
Well, I've lost my time and days have made me weak
'Cause I'm too drunk for you and I'm too strung out for me
So I guess now I'm my own worst enemy
From the body that I bleed to the bar smoke air I breathe
I promise you I'll be back in due time
(One, two, three, four)
'Cause I'm too drunk for you and I'm too strung out for me
So I guess now I'm my own worst enemy
From the body that I bleed to the bar smoke air I breathe
Well, I promise you I'll be back in due time
But I swear that I'll be home in due time
'Cause I'm away for work when I should be holding her
But I guess I's built too stubborn for this life
I can see her in the yard screaming, "Damn that old guitar
If you want me, boy, you'd better get here fast"
But the more that I skip town, the more that I find out
This body of mine wasn't made to last

Better Year
(One, two, three, four)
If it's late and you hear me calling tonight
But I ain't right there and you're wondering why
I've made my way to the severed seas
Where the sun burns hot and the wind does sing
Days away from where I left
There's Heaven-sent eyes in a pickup bed
I'm trying harder to get on back
But the tide's moving in and God's pushing the raft
A thousand miles have worn my feet
And the body I hold ain't getting sleep
Your sweet touch moving closer to me
Well, it ain't what I got, but it's what I need
Hold on, my dear
'Cause I'm fighting like hell to face my fears
Someday I'll tame the fires that brought me here
And it'll burn like hell, but it might as well
Be the last time that you're in tears
I'm betting on a better year
I'm so far into so many things
Lord, I pray someday I'll earn my wings
I've seen hell and been through greed
That's a part of me I hope you do not meet
Waste my breath on things I hate
Like an ongoing trap that I'll never escape
But I hope the words that I do sing
Leave a mark on you like a wedding ring
Hold on, my dear
'Cause I'm fighting like hell to face my fears
Someday I'll tame the fires that brought me here
And it'll burn like hell, but it might as well
Be the last time that you're in tears
I'm betting on a better year
I'm betting on a better year
You know I dug my grave
I was buried alive with my dying faith
Your heart beats where I lay
And through you, it seems I've found my way
My dear, you'll see one day
All I've done is for Heaven's sake
If it's late and you hear me calling tonight
But I ain't right there and you're wondering why
I've made my way to the severed seas
Where the sun burns hot and the wind does sing
Days away from where I left
There's Heaven-sent eyes in a pickup bed
I'm trying harder to get on back
But the tide's moving in and God's pushing the raft
A thousand miles have worn my feet
And the body I hold ain't getting sleep
Your sweet touch moving closer to me
Well, it ain't what I got, but it's what I need
Hold on, my dear
'Cause I'm fighting like hell to face my fears

And it'll burn like hell, but it might as well
Be the last time that you're in tears

I'm so far into so many things
Lord, I pray someday I'll earn my wings

Long Way To Go
So many days have passed by now
It's hard to make it all make sense
When I saw your face in the rain
I knew you were heaven sent
If I was dying on the floor tonight
Screamin', "Father, please let me in"
As tough as I know, that'd be you to warm my ice-cold skin
In the darkness, I found a rose
Some say that's the way it goes
'Cause I've a long way to go
And maybe love's something I don't know
You, I'd follow till we're ghosts
And if home is on the road
Well, that'd be fine, just so you know
You fuel the fire I hold
Been lost for quite some time, but darling, I know now
When you find true love, you see, it follows to the ground
If I had my way, I bet I'd say that I've been found
Just hope you know, my dear, I need you when I'm down
In the darkness, I found a rose
Some say that's the way it goes
'Cause I've a long way to go
And maybe love's something I don't know
You, I'd follow till we're ghosts
And if home is on the road
Well, that'd be fine, just so you know
See you fuel the fire I hold
Oh, you fuel the fire I hold
It's hard to make it all make sense
When I saw your face in the rain
I knew you were heaven sent
If I was dying on the floor tonight
Screamin', "Father, please let me in"
As tough as I know, that'd be you to warm my ice-cold skin
In the darkness, I found a rose
Some say that's the way it goes
'Cause I've a long way to go
And maybe love's something I don't know
You, I'd follow till we're ghosts
And if home is on the road
Well, that'd be fine, just so you know
You fuel the fire I hold
Been lost for quite some time, but darling, I know now
When you find true love, you see, it follows to the ground
If I had my way, I bet I'd say that I've been found
Just hope you know, my dear, I need you when I'm down
In the darkness, I found a rose
Some say that's the way it goes
'Cause I've a long way to go
And maybe love's something I don't know
You, I'd follow till we're ghosts
And if home is on the road
Well, that'd be fine, just so you know
See you fuel the fire I hold
Oh, you fuel the fire I hold

Bet On My Ghost
Well, I often think about my wings
And if I'm dead or alive
'Cause the world just seems like an empty dream
They say that it gets better with time
Every word I say when I'm not okay
Just seems to go away with the wind
If you felt my pain and held my weight
You'd know I'm too broke to fix
From screaming loud to yelling soft
I ain't wiser, I've just grown
And I hate to admit, but the man I am
Is a man that you do not wanna know
Rather be right here then the end of the road
If I don't make it there, you can bet on my ghost
Cannot forget back then 'cause it's all I know
So I'll stand on the ashes that I call home
I'm finding out that time don't heal
The things that should've never began
All the walls I've burned for no damn earn
Is something I could never have planned
When you're walking alone for this damn long
You know that there's nothing to reach
Only thing I've made from all this pain
Is a head staring down at my feet
From screaming loud to yelling soft
I ain't wiser, I've just grown
And I hate to admit, but the man I am
Is a man that you do not wanna know
Rather be right here than the end of the road
If I don't make it there, you can bet on my ghost
I cannot forget back then 'cause it's all I know
So I'll stand on the ashes that I call home
So I'll stand on the ashes that I call home
And if I'm dead or alive
'Cause the world just seems like an empty dream
They say that it gets better with time
Every word I say when I'm not okay
Just seems to go away with the wind
If you felt my pain and held my weight
You'd know I'm too broke to fix
From screaming loud to yelling soft
I ain't wiser, I've just grown
And I hate to admit, but the man I am
Is a man that you do not wanna know
Rather be right here then the end of the road
If I don't make it there, you can bet on my ghost
Cannot forget back then 'cause it's all I know

I'm finding out that time don't heal

Will You Be There
Sometimes, I wonder when the rain starts to fall
Will you pick up if I call?
Step after step on the weary road I walk
Will you pick me up if I fall?
And if I start to drown from this bottle that I down
Will you save me?
And if my world came crashing down and there's no one around
Will you stay with me?
'Cause there is nothing in this whole damn world
That I wouldn't do for you
Minutes into hours, it's been days since I've seen your face
I'm worried your love's starting to fade
Now I'm sitting on this train headed south to north Tennessee
Just trying to make a living with this six-string
And if I start to drown from this bottle that I down
Will you save me?
If my world came crashing down and there's no one around
Would you stay with me?
'Cause there is nothing in this whole damn world
That I wouldn't do for you
When I'm traveling home on the worn out road I roam
Will you be there?
Will you be there?
Will you still be there?
Will you pick up if I call?
Step after step on the weary road I walk
Will you pick me up if I fall?
And if I start to drown from this bottle that I down
Will you save me?
And if my world came crashing down and there's no one around
Will you stay with me?
'Cause there is nothing in this whole damn world
That I wouldn't do for you
Minutes into hours, it's been days since I've seen your face
I'm worried your love's starting to fade
Now I'm sitting on this train headed south to north Tennessee
Just trying to make a living with this six-string
And if I start to drown from this bottle that I down
Will you save me?
If my world came crashing down and there's no one around
Would you stay with me?
'Cause there is nothing in this whole damn world
That I wouldn't do for you
When I'm traveling home on the worn out road I roam
Will you be there?
Will you be there?
Will you still be there?

76
Do you remember riding the back roads of 76?
We'd sneak home late, you could still smell the Jack on my lips
Couple of young, dumb, broke-ass east-end kids
And if you made it to the river, it's where I live
Some people call us crazy for just living free
They don't understand the meanings of loyalty
Us country boys and girls, we're easy to please
All we need is a creek and a bottle of Beam
Another Friday night at the pub
Shooting pool and hiding our drunk
We'd lose our voice from every song we sung
I can still recall everything we were running from
Another Friday night at the pub
Shooting pool and hiding our drunk
We'd lose our voice from every song we sung
I can still recall everything we were running from
We'd sneak home late, you could still smell the Jack on my lips
Couple of young, dumb, broke-ass east-end kids
And if you made it to the river, it's where I live
Some people call us crazy for just living free
They don't understand the meanings of loyalty
Us country boys and girls, we're easy to please
All we need is a creek and a bottle of Beam
Another Friday night at the pub
Shooting pool and hiding our drunk
We'd lose our voice from every song we sung
I can still recall everything we were running from
Another Friday night at the pub

We'd lose our voice from every song we sung
I can still recall everything we were running from

Jersey Giant
And I remember all those summers
Playing 'til my fingers bled
You'd sing songs and I'd sing with you
We'd get drunk and go to bed
Looking back at all them memories
Lord, I'd hate to sleep alone
But if you ever get the notion
That you need me, let me know
It's just two hours to get there, babe
I can make it back about an hour or so
Hold you close against my skin
I need a little warmth on a night so cold
Singing songs you used to sing
The one about the lady in the long black veil
Should have seen the warnings signs
Lord, I love to hear you wail
High and lonesome, hard and strong
Even if it was a little out of tune
Hotter than socks on a Jersey Giant
Lord, I thought you hung the moon
And I remember all those winters
Drinking Woodford 'til we drowned
We'd get a wind about a party
Bundle up and go to town
Never worried 'bout the police
Never worried much at all
I miss those nights of reckless glory
I'd come back if you just called
It's just two hours to get there, babe
I can make it back about an hour or so
Hold you close against my skin
I need a little warmth on a night so cold
Singing songs you used to sing
The one about the lady in the long black veil
Should have seen the warnings signs
But Lord, I love to hear you wail
High and lonesome, hard and strong
Even if it was a little out of tune
Hotter than socks on a Jersey Giant
Lord, I thought you hung the moon
It's just two hours to get there, babe
I can make it back about an hour or so
Hold you close against my skin
I need a little warmth on a night so cold
Singing songs you used to sing

High and lonesome, hard and strong
Even if it was a little out of tune

Even if it was a little out of tune
Hotter than socks on a Jersey Giant
Lord, I thought you hung the moon
It's just two hours to get there, babe
I can make it back about an hour or so
Hold you close against my skin
I need a little warmth on a night so cold
Singing songs you used to sing
The one about the lady in the long black veil
Should have seen the warnings signs
Lord, I love to hear you wail
High and lonesome, hard and strong
Even if it was a little out of tune
Hotter than socks on a Jersey Giant
Lord, I thought you hung the moon

Down the Road
Well, I'm two door down in an old, ransacked apartment
With a guitar and some Crown just trying to make my next pay
And you're new to town, yeah, you came down from the mountains
And you know no one around so you stick to yourself
When we first locked eyes
You were sitting on the front porch
But I fled back inside 'cause I didn't know what I'd felt
My foolish pride always seems to get me running, but I'm
I'm not the man I was a hundred sunsets before
And I know further down the road
You'd take my hand and save my weary soul
And I know when the days get cold
You'll be the one I have to hold
If I found the nerve, would you sit and stare right through me
Or would we talk for hours at least until the night did fall?
When you see my face, does it flood your brain with memories
Or when you look at me, do you see the man I despise?
As the spotlight shines down on the days with no heat
I think through your eyes that I finally found my peace
I feel someday soon that I'll break the cage that holds me
'Cause I'm not the man I was when you walked through that door
And I know further down the road
You'll take my hand and save my weary soul
And I know when the days get cold
You'll be the one I have to hold
And I know further down the road
You'd take my hand and save my weary soul
And I know when the days get cold
You'll be the one I have to hold
With a guitar and some Crown just trying to make my next pay
And you're new to town, yeah, you came down from the mountains
And you know no one around so you stick to yourself
When we first locked eyes
You were sitting on the front porch
But I fled back inside 'cause I didn't know what I'd felt
My foolish pride always seems to get me running, but I'm
I'm not the man I was a hundred sunsets before
And I know further down the road
You'd take my hand and save my weary soul
And I know when the days get cold
You'll be the one I have to hold
If I found the nerve, would you sit and stare right through me
Or would we talk for hours at least until the night did fall?
When you see my face, does it flood your brain with memories
Or when you look at me, do you see the man I despise?

I feel someday soon that I'll break the cage that holds me
'Cause I'm not the man I was when you walked through that door
And I know further down the road
You'll take my hand and save my weary soul
And I know when the days get cold
You'll be the one I have to hold
And I know further down the road
You'd take my hand and save my weary soul
And I know when the days get cold
You'll be the one I have to hold

S.O.B.
I'm finally gettin' sick and tired
Of sleepin' on my own
Where I'm at is not
And will never be my home
Every voice in my head
Is more than I can shake
'Til the liquor takes over
And I cannot hold my weight
I'm a no-good, worn-out, broken son of a bitch
There's a war on my mind
Over all the things I cannot fix
And I'm so damn tired
Right now, I think I see the end
How I've walked so far, so long
Never gaining an inch
Every step feels like barbed wire
Wrapped around my skin
Cuttin' deeper than the fires
That burn me within
But what keeps me up too late
Is the thought of my own death
'Til the liquor takes over
And I cannot hold my head
I'm a no-good, worn-out, broken son of a bitch
There's a war on my mind
Over all the things I cannot fix
And I'm so damn tired
Right now, I think I see the end
How I've walked so far, so long
Never gaining an inch
I'm a no-good, worn-out, broken son of a bitch
There's a war on my mind
Over all the things I cannot fix
And I'm so damn tired
Right now, I think I see the end
How I've walked so far, so long
Never gaining an inch
Of sleepin' on my own
Where I'm at is not
And will never be my home
Every voice in my head
Is more than I can shake
'Til the liquor takes over
And I cannot hold my weight
I'm a no-good, worn-out, broken son of a bitch
There's a war on my mind
Over all the things I cannot fix
And I'm so damn tired
Right now, I think I see the end
How I've walked so far, so long
Never gaining an inch
Every step feels like barbed wire
Wrapped around my skin
Cuttin' deeper than the fires
That burn me within
But what keeps me up too late
Is the thought of my own death
'Til the liquor takes over
And I cannot hold my head
I'm a no-good, worn-out, broken son of a bitch
There's a war on my mind
Over all the things I cannot fix
And I'm so damn tired
Right now, I think I see the end
How I've walked so far, so long
Never gaining an inch
I'm a no-good, worn-out, broken son of a bitch
There's a war on my mind
Over all the things I cannot fix
And I'm so damn tired
Right now, I think I see the end
How I've walked so far, so long

Evil Place
There's a voice in the air and it brings me to my knees
They say if I open up, then that voice will turn into God's preach
Sure, I've got faith but times it's hard to believe
'Cause I don't want you if you don't want me
It feels this love has lost its meaning
Would you take these weary hands and hold
Hold 'em till I don't feel alone?
With every other wrong I've made
It's led me to an evil place
Just like a word on the tip of my tongue
Right when I have you, you're already gone
You told me once that you'd stick around
You once told me twice you couldn't stand this town
Stopped going late 'cause drinking brought me to shame
Rock bottom on a floor without you, that wasn't my aim
We spent so much fight on a burnt-out flame
Then you fled west on a midnight train
There ain't a day I don't wish that I wasn't home
My words have carried me farther than I wanna go
See, every last demon's taking its toll
I've lost my mind, my heart and soul
Would you take these weary hands and hold
Hold 'em till I don't feel alone?
With every other wrong I've made
It's led me to this evil place
Just like a word on the tip of my tongue
Right when I have you, you're already gone
You told me once that you'd stick around
You once told me twice you couldn't stand this town
Stand this town
They say if I open up, then that voice will turn into God's preach
Sure, I've got faith but times it's hard to believe
'Cause I don't want you if you don't want me
It feels this love has lost its meaning
Would you take these weary hands and hold
Hold 'em till I don't feel alone?
With every other wrong I've made
It's led me to an evil place
Just like a word on the tip of my tongue
Right when I have you, you're already gone
You told me once that you'd stick around
You once told me twice you couldn't stand this town
Stopped going late 'cause drinking brought me to shame
Rock bottom on a floor without you, that wasn't my aim
We spent so much fight on a burnt-out flame
Then you fled west on a midnight train
There ain't a day I don't wish that I wasn't home
My words have carried me farther than I wanna go
See, every last demon's taking its toll
I've lost my mind, my heart and soul
Would you take these weary hands and hold
Hold 'em till I don't feel alone?
With every other wrong I've made
It's led me to this evil place
Just like a word on the tip of my tongue
Right when I have you, you're already gone
You told me once that you'd stick around
You once told me twice you couldn't stand this town
Stand this town

Gambler
I'm a gambler, come on, deal me a hand
I'll take your money and show you who I am
I'm an addict, smoked everything under the sun
Just hold it in until your mind is numb
I'm a poet, write every damn word I sing
How long until they try to take it all away from me?
I'm a cowboy, was born out on these planes
There is red, white and blue embedded in my veins
I'm just a man that's been through more than he can hardly stand
I know who I am, see, I'll live and die by this here brand
I'll be damned if you think you can buy me off this land
No city man's gonna take it unless it's from my cold dead hands
I'm a sinner, go on, get me a gun
And I'll bury that son of a bitch where he belongs
I'm a rider, been damn near everywhere
See, I got a story for every scar and tear
Come closer if you dare
But the last one who tried to cheat me is under the stairs
Got an anger with plenty left to spare
Cut me down, and son, I'll make it fair
I'm just a man that's been through more than he can hardly stand
I know who I am, see, I'll live and die by this here brand
I'll be damned if you think you can buy me off this land
No city man's gonna take it unless it's from my cold dead hands
From my cold dead hands
I'm a gambler, come on, deal me a hand
I'll take your money and show you who I am
I'll take your money and show you who I am
I'm an addict, smoked everything under the sun
Just hold it in until your mind is numb
I'm a poet, write every damn word I sing
How long until they try to take it all away from me?
I'm a cowboy, was born out on these planes

Morning Time
She's begging me to stay, but my mind's already made
Guess I'll try my luck downtown
I'm feening for a drink that will lead me to believe that this bar is all I need
See, I'm too old to dream, but still too young to sleep
I've grown tired of counting sheep
I'll be back before the sunrise
Walk in too late with bloodshot eyes
I can't promise you my shape, but I'll be alright
I'll be back before a bird cries
By the time you wake, I'll be by your side
So, darling, please don't wait, I'll be back by the morning time
I'll be back by the morning time
It's half past ten, and I'm grinning like a kid that's playing with his fate
The old man in the corner, he's been picking just for quarters
Telling stories that you couldn't fake
From whiskey breath talking all to crooked line walking
We ain't leaving till the windows turn gray
I'll be back before the sunrise
Walk in too late with bloodshot eyes
I can't promise you my shape, but I'll be alright
I'll be back before a bird cries
By the time you wake, I'll be by your side
So, darling, please don't wait, I'll be back by the morning time
I'll be back by the morning time
I'll be back by the morning time
Guess I'll try my luck downtown
I'm feening for a drink that will lead me to believe that this bar is all I need
See, I'm too old to dream, but still too young to sleep
I've grown tired of counting sheep
I'll be back before the sunrise
Walk in too late with bloodshot eyes
I can't promise you my shape, but I'll be alright
I'll be back before a bird cries
By the time you wake, I'll be by your side
So, darling, please don't wait, I'll be back by the morning time
I'll be back by the morning time
It's half past ten, and I'm grinning like a kid that's playing with his fate
The old man in the corner, he's been picking just for quarters
Telling stories that you couldn't fake
From whiskey breath talking all to crooked line walking
We ain't leaving till the windows turn gray
I'll be back before the sunrise
Walk in too late with bloodshot eyes
I can't promise you my shape, but I'll be alright
I'll be back before a bird cries
By the time you wake, I'll be by your side
So, darling, please don't wait, I'll be back by the morning time
I'll be back by the morning time
I'll be back by the morning time

Indigo
[ Featuring Avery Anna ]
And I know you're worried at night, I won't find my way
And I'm tired of lying to myself just to get through each day
My head says I shoulda never left
And that my feet will soon lead to my death
I'm starting to question if God's trying to teach me a lesson
I'm starting to wonder if my true colors changed since I left ya
I used to shine bright like gold, now I'm all indigo
My colors are darker and cold, I think it's time that I went home
And I don't understand why I always feel dead and alone
Well, I used to shine bright like gold, now I'm all indigo
I gave up a piece of my heart, then I turned to run
Oh, my head's in the clouds, but I don't feel close to the sun
And the light fades away from my face, and the tears fall like rain
And so I turn my words all into faith, hope it's me that they save
Ooh, I'm starting to question if God's trying to teach me a lesson
Lord knows I'm starting to wonder if my true colors changed since I left ya
And I used to shine bright like gold, now I'm all indigo
My colors are darker and cold, I think it's time that I went home
And I don't understand why I always feel dead and alone
Well, I used to shine bright like gold, now I'm all indigo
I'm starting to question if God's trying to teach me a lesson
Lord knows I'm starting to wonder if my true colors changed since I left ya
And I used to shine bright like gold, and now I'm all indigo
My colors are darker and cold, I think it's time that I went home
And I don't understand why I always feel dead and alone
I used to shine bright like gold, now I'm all indigo
Now I'm all indigo, hmm

Different Kind of Pain
Took a train yesterday far away from everything I love
I could say I'm okay, but the truth is I'm already too f*cked up
Bet the little I have, I won't make it through the next couple months
Scared to death, you'd trade the man I am for the man I was
Do I stand or do I run away?
Do I quit or do I pray?
If I can't find you, then none of this matters
I called my mom a second time today
She said you'd only give what I can take
And I've been lost before
But losing you is a different kind of pain
A different kind of pain (whoa oh)
A different kind of pain (whoa oh)
Without you, only road I'm on leads to early death
So I went strolling through the city I hate
Just tryna clear my head
I found you at the bottom of a bottle, searching for a friend
Hope this time I can keep you for a while before I lose you again
Do I stand or do I run away?
Do I quit or do I pray?
If I can't find you, then none of this matters
I called my mom a second time today
She said you'd only give what I can take
And I've been lost before
But losing you is a different kind of pain
A different kind of pain (whoa oh)
A different kind of pain (whoa oh)
I could say I'm okay, but the truth is I'm already too f*cked up
Bet the little I have, I won't make it through the next couple months
Scared to death, you'd trade the man I am for the man I was
Do I stand or do I run away?
Do I quit or do I pray?
If I can't find you, then none of this matters
I called my mom a second time today
She said you'd only give what I can take
And I've been lost before
But losing you is a different kind of pain
A different kind of pain (whoa oh)
A different kind of pain (whoa oh)
Without you, only road I'm on leads to early death
So I went strolling through the city I hate
Just tryna clear my head
I found you at the bottom of a bottle, searching for a friend
Hope this time I can keep you for a while before I lose you again
Do I stand or do I run away?
Do I quit or do I pray?
If I can't find you, then none of this matters
I called my mom a second time today
She said you'd only give what I can take
And I've been lost before

A different kind of pain (whoa oh)
A different kind of pain (whoa oh)

Streetlight
There's a streetlight in the darkness starin' back at me
As I sit here on a corner, smokin' one last cigarette before I leave
See I know now that the world is as cold as they come
And that the truth behind your eyes can speak as loud as your tongue
Girl, I don't know yet or when I'm coming back
But I felt the fire of a man who's lost everything he has
Where does the sun go when you're not around?
It was fine when I left but I can't stand this now
How many nights yet do I have alone?
Before I feel, before I feel whole
Before I feel whole, before I feel whole
I'm just a no good worn soul that's tryin' to survive
On a few good memories and a peace that I cannot find
So many hours of this pavement, it drove me to the ground
And there's so many nights that I'd like to just turn this car around
Girl, I don't know yet or when I'm coming back
But I felt the fire of a man who's lost everything he has
Where does the sun go when you're not around?
It was fine when I left but I can't stand this now
How many nights do I have alone?
Before I feel, before I feel whole
Before I feel whole, before I feel whole
Before I feel whole, before I feel whole
Before I feel whole
As I sit here on a corner, smokin' one last cigarette before I leave
See I know now that the world is as cold as they come
And that the truth behind your eyes can speak as loud as your tongue
Girl, I don't know yet or when I'm coming back
But I felt the fire of a man who's lost everything he has
Where does the sun go when you're not around?
It was fine when I left but I can't stand this now

Before I feel whole, before I feel whole

Before I feel whole, before I feel whole
Before I feel whole, before I feel whole
Before I feel whole

Never Mine
Wake me up when all this pain is gone
Every time we talk, the thoughts I have go numb
Just like old walls, the small things tore us down
But still, your breathing's fine
And me, I've lost my mind
Found that hell you said I was bound to see
I give my all, but still my act ain't clean
So a bed of nails is where I'm set to sleep
If I'm trapped, then how could you feel free?
If this ain't love, then what did all those tears mean?
We used to lay right here 'til the sun came up
Then I ruined it all when I tried my luck
I only see your face when I'm too f*cked up
And these shaking hands have yet to stop
Doing better now, but at times, I still cave in
I thought you wrecked my life, but the battle was within
Seems I've done my time and finally paid my sins
Now I finally see those signs
Darling, you were never mine
We used to lay right here 'til the sun came up
Then I saved my soul that wasn't enough
I only see your face when I'm too f*cked up
And these shaking hands have yet to stop
Oh, these shaking hands have yet to stop
Every time we talk, the thoughts I have go numb
Just like old walls, the small things tore us down
But still, your breathing's fine
And me, I've lost my mind
Found that hell you said I was bound to see
I give my all, but still my act ain't clean
So a bed of nails is where I'm set to sleep
If I'm trapped, then how could you feel free?
If this ain't love, then what did all those tears mean?
We used to lay right here 'til the sun came up
Then I ruined it all when I tried my luck
I only see your face when I'm too f*cked up
And these shaking hands have yet to stop
Doing better now, but at times, I still cave in

Sent a postcard to you today from the wind-ridden coast
It reads, "As much as I hate it right now, I'm not coming home"
I could lie and say I'll try my best, but I'm tired of holding hope
I still remember being too damn young and playing on the road
Then we'd sit on the worn-out couch that I once cut a hole
Lord, I was so scared of dad finding out, but it wasn't long 'til you told
We were sold on thinking we had it all
If it got cold, we'd bundle up for the fall
Since we've grown these days, I'm twice as small
Your words were all I needed to feel like I was ten-feet tall
I know I don't say it near enough, but I'm proud, and hope you know
And although time has taken me far away, I'm not yet a ghost
When I look at the queen you've become, well, it brightens my soul
We were sold on thinking we had it all
If it got cold, we'd bundle up for the fall
Since we've grown these days, I'm twice as small
Your words were all I needed to feel like I was ten feet tall
Your words were all I needed to feel like I was ten feet tall
It reads, "As much as I hate it right now, I'm not coming home"
I could lie and say I'll try my best, but I'm tired of holding hope
I still remember being too damn young and playing on the road

Stopped in Hell
[ Featuring Lily Fitts ]
How many lines can I cross 'til I feel myself bleed?
See, I'm tired of searching for someone that I used to be
Feels like I'm falling again, but I'm already on my knees
Well, I thought you could fix this, but it's in the way I bleed
Where do I go now, when all that we built is on fire?
If I told you that I didn't need you, well, that would be a lie
And it's hard to believe you're not alone when all you got is yourself
Why do I hate the way I feel? Guess it's time that I watch my own health
And the train we're on is out of steam, and I'm calling for help
We're stopped in Hell
Darkness is raging in your mind, light ain't coming through
Cut deep into my scars, it wasn't blood that you drew
Strung up my flaws on a line, and I believed them, too
The man that I loved back then, he's no longer you
Where do I go now, when all that we built is on fire?
If I told you that I didn't need you, well, that would be a lie
And it's hard to believe you're not alone when all you got is yourself
Why do I hate the way I feel? Guess it's time that I watch my own health
And the train we're on is out of steam, and I'm calling for help
We're stopped in Hell
We're stopped in Hell
We're stopped in Hell

Stay The Night
Remember riding in the winter on the ice-cold leather seats?
A couple crushed dollar bills and a bad-photo fake ID
We were young and devoted, learning things that you can't teach
Then I first touched your skin in a rust-box Cherokee
Now the bottle on the nightstand sits alone by your old ring
You didn't run away from love, darling, oh, you ran away from me
Oh, you ran away from me
Oh, and I've been wondering for some time
Well, if you hate me that much, why do you stop by?
And I can't get you outta my mind
If you're still hung up, then just stay the night
Oh, and I could never bear it, but for you, I did not need
Now I'm running out of time, you're the only drug that was good for me
And the words that I can't form are worth more than your good deeds
How do I put you through hell if you put me at ease?
When I see you in the same room and stare into those eyes
As much as you still care, I can see what you despise
Oh, and I've been wondering for some time
Well, if you hate me that much, why do you stop by?
And I can't get you outta my mind
If you're still hung up, then just stay the night
If you're still hung up, then just stay the night
A couple crushed dollar bills and a bad-photo fake ID
We were young and devoted, learning things that you can't teach
Then I first touched your skin in a rust-box Cherokee
Now the bottle on the nightstand sits alone by your old ring
You didn't run away from love, darling, oh, you ran away from me
Oh, you ran away from me
Oh, and I've been wondering for some time
Well, if you hate me that much, why do you stop by?
And I can't get you outta my mind
If you're still hung up, then just stay the night
Oh, and I could never bear it, but for you, I did not need
Now I'm running out of time, you're the only drug that was good for me
And the words that I can't form are worth more than your good deeds
How do I put you through hell if you put me at ease?
When I see you in the same room and stare into those eyes
As much as you still care, I can see what you despise
Oh, and I've been wondering for some time
Well, if you hate me that much, why do you stop by?
And I can't get you outta my mind
If you're still hung up, then just stay the night
If you're still hung up, then just stay the night

Straight and Narrow
When there's a storm raging in your soul
You gotta thank God that you're still growing old
If them demons your fighting won't go away
Drop on your knees and pray
Life can get hard sometimes I know
You got to get up and walk the straight and narrow
When they're chasing you down with an old bloodhound
And you're running through the fields for your life
You got to get up son I know they're gunnin for ya
Don't let the thought of yesterday
Crowd out the visions of today
Don't let your past define your name
We will all be judged the same someday
Life can get hard sometimes I know
You got to get up and walk the straight and narrow
When they're chasing you down with an old bloodhound
And you're running through the fields for your life
You got to get up son I know they're gunnin for ya
When they're chasing you down with an old bloodhound
And you're running through the fields for your life
You got to get up son I know they're gunnin for ya.
You gotta thank God that you're still growing old
If them demons your fighting won't go away
Drop on your knees and pray
Life can get hard sometimes I know
You got to get up and walk the straight and narrow
When they're chasing you down with an old bloodhound
And you're running through the fields for your life
You got to get up son I know they're gunnin for ya
Don't let the thought of yesterday
Crowd out the visions of today
Don't let your past define your name
We will all be judged the same someday
Life can get hard sometimes I know
You got to get up and walk the straight and narrow
When they're chasing you down with an old bloodhound
And you're running through the fields for your life
You got to get up son I know they're gunnin for ya
When they're chasing you down with an old bloodhound
And you're running through the fields for your life
You got to get up son I know they're gunnin for ya.

Home Ain't Far
Home ain't that far away
Still, you're the reason that I'd rather stay
No more searching for better days
Found what I need in the pureness of your ways
Nowadays the bad ain't much to bear
'Fore I ever met you, this life was so unfair
Now there's peace amongst the air
I'll find it in your voice and the creak of a rocking chair
Even breathing can get hard
Girl, you're the blood that pumps through this here heart
They say time will heal your scars
Only time I feel pain is when we're far apart
I'd give my flesh
I'd give my bone
I'd give my all to make sure you ain't cold
You'd know my head like it's your own
Took my darkest thoughts and turned them into gold
Still, you're the reason that I'd rather stay
No more searching for better days
Found what I need in the pureness of your ways
Nowadays the bad ain't much to bear
'Fore I ever met you, this life was so unfair
Now there's peace amongst the air
I'll find it in your voice and the creak of a rocking chair
Even breathing can get hard
Girl, you're the blood that pumps through this here heart
They say time will heal your scars
Only time I feel pain is when we're far apart
I'd give my flesh
I'd give my bone
I'd give my all to make sure you ain't cold
You'd know my head like it's your own
Took my darkest thoughts and turned them into gold

Let Me Down
You never once let me down
Even after late nights and fighting for middle ground
There was a hole in this house
But we built it back through a love that we both found
Oh, oh
There's a waking sun rising in the east
But it's your smile that lights each day I see
Tell me I'm all you need
And I'll be there for every breath you breathe
When I'm down and I'm out, you let me know
The more I search, the more I find this ain't my home
And I've been burned one too many times before
Still, you never let me down
With all the shame that's been thrown my way
You're the only one that stayed true
When I was lost and I had no cause
You turned me into something new
If I had a choice between you and my voice
I guess I'd never speak again
If there was a flood with no time to run
Would you hold me till the end?
When I'm down and I'm out, you let me know
The more I search, the more I find this ain't my home
Well, I've been burned one too many times before
Still, you never let me down
Oh, oh
Still, you never let me down
Never let me down
Never let me down
Even after late nights and fighting for middle ground
There was a hole in this house
But we built it back through a love that we both found
Oh, oh
There's a waking sun rising in the east
But it's your smile that lights each day I see
Tell me I'm all you need
And I'll be there for every breath you breathe
When I'm down and I'm out, you let me know
The more I search, the more I find this ain't my home
And I've been burned one too many times before
Still, you never let me down
With all the shame that's been thrown my way
You're the only one that stayed true
When I was lost and I had no cause
You turned me into something new
If I had a choice between you and my voice
I guess I'd never speak again
If there was a flood with no time to run
Would you hold me till the end?
When I'm down and I'm out, you let me know
The more I search, the more I find this ain't my home
Well, I've been burned one too many times before
Still, you never let me down
Oh, oh
Still, you never let me down
Never let me down
Never let me down

You Know I Know
Two, three
We can no longer fake this since we lost purpose
These days have became such a climb
I can feel the tide changing, and if I don't make it
I'll be caught between space and time
You know, I know I'm not alright
I'm so damn tired of all this fight
If all went to hell and I stopped breathing tonight
You wouldn't have a thought about saving my life
Every scar that you've left has been burned on my mind
We're all set to crash, if not now, then in time
As I stare at the darkness that came without warning
I'd rather be somewhere I'm not
All the bad waking morning and ceaseless down-pouring
Finally taken all that I've got
You know, I know I'm not alright
I'm so damn tired of all this fight
If all went to hell and I stopped breathing tonight
You wouldn't have a thought about saving my life
Every scar that you've left has been burned on my mind
We're all set to crash, if not now, then in time
We can no longer fake this since we lost purpose
These days have became such a climb
I can feel the tide changing, and if I don't make it
I'll be caught between space and time
We can no longer fake this since we lost purpose
These days have became such a climb
I can feel the tide changing, and if I don't make it
I'll be caught between space and time
You know, I know I'm not alright
I'm so damn tired of all this fight
If all went to hell and I stopped breathing tonight
You wouldn't have a thought about saving my life
Every scar that you've left has been burned on my mind
We're all set to crash, if not now, then in time
As I stare at the darkness that came without warning
I'd rather be somewhere I'm not
All the bad waking morning and ceaseless down-pouring
Finally taken all that I've got
You know, I know I'm not alright
I'm so damn tired of all this fight
If all went to hell and I stopped breathing tonight
You wouldn't have a thought about saving my life
Every scar that you've left has been burned on my mind
We're all set to crash, if not now, then in time
We can no longer fake this since we lost purpose
These days have became such a climb
I can feel the tide changing, and if I don't make it
I'll be caught between space and time
