I'm gonna make my way through this world someday
I don't care what nobody say
American dream, political scheme
I'm gonna find out for myself someday
But I'm half-lit, I can't dance for shit
But I see what I want, I go after it
And my girl's alright, treats me nice
Sayin' nothin' but a woman puts out that light
I got a dream I'm gonna fight 'til I get it
I got a dream I'm gonna fight 'til I get it right
'Til I get it right
Oh well, my baby no doubt dreams further out
Makin' moves to get us someway someday
Well my honey don't trip, shoots from the hip
Tell me everything gonna be OK
I got a dream I'm gonna fight 'til I get it
I got a dream I'm gonna fight 'til I get it right
'Til I get it right
Well, my mama so sad
Daddy's just mad
'Cause I ain't gonna have the chance he had
My success is anybody's guess
But like a fool, I'm bettin' on happiness
I got a dream I'm gonna fight 'til I get it
I got a dream I'm gonna fight 'til I get it right
I got a dream I'm gonna fight 'til I get it
I got a dream I'm gonna fight 'til I get it right
'Til I get it right

Fault Lines
See those fault lines
Lay down like land mines
It's hard to relax
A promise broken
The ground breaks open
Love falls through the cracks
And I've got a few of my own
I've got a few of my own fault lines
Running under my life
Running under my life
I'm alone here
I play the odds, dear
I go where I please
Down the road
A man I know might not be me
And I've got a few of my own
I've got a few of my own fault lines
Running under my life
Running under my life
On the highwire
Above the wildfire and all that grow back
A faulty cable
Still is able not to fall flat
And I've got a few of my own
I've got a few of my own fault lines
Running under my life
Running under my life
Lay down like land mines
It's hard to relax
A promise broken
The ground breaks open
Love falls through the cracks
And I've got a few of my own
I've got a few of my own fault lines
Running under my life
Running under my life
I'm alone here
I play the odds, dear
I go where I please
Down the road
A man I know might not be me
And I've got a few of my own
I've got a few of my own fault lines
Running under my life
Running under my life
On the highwire
Above the wildfire and all that grow back
A faulty cable
Still is able not to fall flat
And I've got a few of my own
I've got a few of my own fault lines
Running under my life
Running under my life

Red River
She's got a 3D Jesus in a picture frame
Got a child she's never named
She shakes a snake above her hair
Talks in tongues when there's no one there
So meet me tonight by the Red River
Where the water is clear and cold
Meet me tonight by the Red River
And look down into your soul
Look down into your soul
She's got a rosary and a rabbit's foot
A black cat bone that keeps her good
A tiger tooth and a gris-gris stick
Still it don't do the trick
So meet me tonight by the Red River
Where the water is clear and cold
Meet me tonight by the Red River
And look down into your soul
Look down into your soul
I'm gonna walk her down to gypsytown
Find the spirit queen I've seen around
Paint her body up in mud and clay
Let the river wash it all away
So meet me tonight by the Red River
Where the water is clear and cold
Meet me tonight by the Red River
And look down into your soul
Look down into your soul
Look down into your soul
Got a child she's never named
She shakes a snake above her hair
Talks in tongues when there's no one there
So meet me tonight by the Red River
Where the water is clear and cold
Meet me tonight by the Red River
And look down into your soul
Look down into your soul
She's got a rosary and a rabbit's foot
A black cat bone that keeps her good
A tiger tooth and a gris-gris stick
Still it don't do the trick
So meet me tonight by the Red River
Where the water is clear and cold
Meet me tonight by the Red River
And look down into your soul
Look down into your soul
I'm gonna walk her down to gypsytown
Find the spirit queen I've seen around
Paint her body up in mud and clay
Let the river wash it all away
So meet me tonight by the Red River
Where the water is clear and cold
Meet me tonight by the Red River
And look down into your soul
Look down into your soul
Look down into your soul

Full Grown Boy
I'd like to move on sure and easy
Like a cat creeps through the grass
And the foreman seems to know me
'Cause I found myself at last
And I'm a full grown boy
And there's laughter on the hillside
From voices far away
How'm I gonna tell her that I love her
When this night might be the day
And I'm a full grown boy
Yeah
My mind floats away
Yeah
And I'm changing every day
Can you see her in the fire light
Hear how soft and low she sings
How'm I gonna tell her that I love her
When words don't mean a thing
And I'm a full grown boy
Like a cat creeps through the grass
And the foreman seems to know me
'Cause I found myself at last
And I'm a full grown boy
And there's laughter on the hillside
From voices far away
How'm I gonna tell her that I love her
When this night might be the day
And I'm a full grown boy
Yeah
My mind floats away
Yeah
And I'm changing every day
Can you see her in the fire light
Hear how soft and low she sings
How'm I gonna tell her that I love her
When words don't mean a thing
And I'm a full grown boy

All You Can Carry
I saw a ghost by the road tonight
And then my mind ran away with me
I had a vision at the changing lines
Something's there but it's trying to leave
Take what you can, all you can carry
Take what you can and leave the past behind
Take what you can, all you can carry
Take what you can and leave the past behind
We gotta run
I saw the flames come across the ridge
Falling ashes in the northern wind
And you and I have burned every bridge
And now we got to save our souls again
Take what you can, all you can carry
Take what you can and leave the past behind
Take what you can, all you can carry
Take what you can and leave the past behind
We gotta run
There's something moving in the dark outside
I gotta face it when it hits the light
No one can say I didn't have your side
No one can say I left without a fight
Take what you can, all you can carry
Take what you can and leave the past behind
Take what you can, all you can carry
Take what you can and leave the past behind
We gotta run, run
And then my mind ran away with me
I had a vision at the changing lines
Something's there but it's trying to leave
Take what you can, all you can carry
Take what you can and leave the past behind
Take what you can, all you can carry
Take what you can and leave the past behind
We gotta run
I saw the flames come across the ridge
Falling ashes in the northern wind
And you and I have burned every bridge
And now we got to save our souls again
Take what you can, all you can carry
Take what you can and leave the past behind
Take what you can, all you can carry
Take what you can and leave the past behind
We gotta run
There's something moving in the dark outside
I gotta face it when it hits the light
No one can say I didn't have your side
No one can say I left without a fight
Take what you can, all you can carry
Take what you can and leave the past behind
Take what you can, all you can carry
Take what you can and leave the past behind
We gotta run, run

Power Drunk
Who's gonna come and take this a badass down?
Who's gonna come and burn other playhouse down?
Can you see me against the Sun?
Crying out to reach someone
He's power drunk
Yeah, I look at his eyes
Gotta sober up
It's the truth within that makes a good man rise
God, protect us from the thoughts in some men's minds
God, protect us from the pain it leaves behind
Now you see him against the sky
Believe it, it is old lies
God is power drunk
Yeah, I look at his eyes
Gotta sober up
It's the truth within that makes a good man rise
Pin on a badge and a man begins to change
Start believing and there's nothing out of his range
You and I are left in the wind
In the wake of a rich man's sin
Now he's power drunk
Yeah, I look at his eyes
Gotta sober up
It's the truth within that makes a good man arise
Make a good man rise
Who's gonna come and burn other playhouse down?
Can you see me against the Sun?
Crying out to reach someone
He's power drunk
Yeah, I look at his eyes
Gotta sober up
It's the truth within that makes a good man rise
God, protect us from the thoughts in some men's minds
God, protect us from the pain it leaves behind
Now you see him against the sky
Believe it, it is old lies
God is power drunk

Gotta sober up

You and I are left in the wind

Forgotten Man
Well I feel like a forgotten man
I understand the dark
When it hangs upon the water
When the wolves and dogs all bark
Well I feel like a forgotten man
I feel like a forgotten man
Well I feel like a four letter word
I know what few can do
How angry words can pierce the heart
How a soul can sink so low
I feel like a forgotten man yes
I feel like a forgotten man
Well I feel like I'm forever damned
Since our love is gone
No lust, no rage, no wicked thoughts
Just pain, that lingers on
I feel like a forgotten man
I feel like a forgotten man yes
I feel like a forgotten man
I understand the dark
When it hangs upon the water
When the wolves and dogs all bark
Well I feel like a forgotten man
I feel like a forgotten man
Well I feel like a four letter word
I know what few can do
How angry words can pierce the heart
How a soul can sink so low
I feel like a forgotten man yes
I feel like a forgotten man
Well I feel like I'm forever damned
Since our love is gone
No lust, no rage, no wicked thoughts
Just pain, that lingers on
I feel like a forgotten man
I feel like a forgotten man yes
I feel like a forgotten man

Sins Of My Youth
You're around me
Look me over, you will see
You are a friend, no werid change
I'm more wounded but still the same
Let me tell you the truth
I love you more
Than the sins of my youth
When the pain gets up in your veins
Memories start up again
All those things that were hidden away
It's so bad in the light of day
Let me tell you the truth
I love you more
Than the sins of my youth
You say you love me
I wish you light me up more
I'm no angel,that's for sure
Said you forgive me each time I was wrong
But you still take me as something I'm not
Let me tell you the truth
I love you more
Than the sins of my youth
I love you more
Than the sins of my youth
Look me over, you will see
You are a friend, no werid change
I'm more wounded but still the same
Let me tell you the truth
I love you more
Than the sins of my youth
When the pain gets up in your veins
Memories start up again
All those things that were hidden away
It's so bad in the light of day
Let me tell you the truth
I love you more
Than the sins of my youth
You say you love me
I wish you light me up more
I'm no angel,that's for sure
Said you forgive me each time I was wrong
But you still take me as something I'm not
Let me tell you the truth
I love you more
Than the sins of my youth
I love you more

U Get Me High
I remember feeling like this
Diggin' was as a child
Inspiration in my fingertips
Imagination running wild
Oh oh, you get me high
You get me high
You give me something so deep
You get me high
I remember feeling this way
You can lose it without knowing
You wake up and you don't know which way
The wind is blowing
Oh oh, you get me high
You get me high
You give me something so deep
You get me high
I ain't afraid of what people say
Ain't afraid of the great deception
Every bad dream comes my way
Turning to smoke on closer inspection
Oh oh, you get me high
You get me high
You give me something so deep
You get me high
You get me high
You get me high
You give me something so deep
You get me high
Diggin' was as a child
Inspiration in my fingertips
Imagination running wild
Oh oh, you get me high
You get me high
You give me something so deep
You get me high
I remember feeling this way
You can lose it without knowing
You wake up and you don't know which way
The wind is blowing
Oh oh, you get me high
You get me high
You give me something so deep
You get me high
I ain't afraid of what people say
Ain't afraid of the great deception
Every bad dream comes my way

You give me something so deep

Burnt Out Town
Yeah, uh-huh
I was walking down the street the other day
A woman stopped me
She said, why is it you look so down in the mouth?
And I told her
This is a burnt out town
It's full of dirty looks
The ashes are mainstream
And the mayor is cooking the books
I even like those friends
I turn them into crooks
Yeah this is the burnt out town
You wear the same clothes
They dancing on the glass ceilings
While the filthy money flows
Yes and here I am, stealing gas
With a garden hose
Yeah, take that, honey!
This is the burnt out town
The city fathers have come to blows
It's out of their realm of reality
The truth indecent when exposed
Yeah, it's the burnt out town
It's going down but no one knows
Yeah, it's the burnt out town
Ain't there but getting close, aw

Shadow People
Shadow people
What's in their head?
In the car next to you
When the light turns red
Could be thinkin' of love
Might be thinkin' of hate
I guess it pretty much
Could go either way
Shadow people in a shadow land
That one's thinking of great art
And eloquent words
That one's strapped on a gun
And joined up with a herd
That one's saving up water
Got some food stored away
For the war that's comin' on the Judgment Day
Shadow people in a shadow land
And this one carries a gun for the USA
He's a 21st century man
And he's scary as hell
'Cause when he's afraid
He'll destroy anything
He don't understand
Well I ain't on the left
And I ain't on the right
I ain't even sure
I got a dog in this fight
In my time of need
In my time of grief
I feel like a shadow's falling over me
Like shadow people in shadow lands
Shadow people in shadow land
Shadow people in shadow land
Waiting for the sun to be straight overhead
'Til we ain't got no shadow at all
What's in their head?
In the car next to you
When the light turns red
Could be thinkin' of love
Might be thinkin' of hate
I guess it pretty much
Could go either way
Shadow people in a shadow land
That one's thinking of great art
And eloquent words
That one's strapped on a gun
And joined up with a herd
That one's saving up water
Got some food stored away
For the war that's comin' on the Judgment Day
Shadow people in a shadow land
And this one carries a gun for the USA
He's a 21st century man
And he's scary as hell
'Cause when he's afraid
He'll destroy anything
He don't understand
Well I ain't on the left
And I ain't on the right
I ain't even sure
I got a dog in this fight
In my time of need
In my time of grief
I feel like a shadow's falling over me
Like shadow people in shadow lands
Shadow people in shadow land
Shadow people in shadow land
Waiting for the sun to be straight overhead
'Til we ain't got no shadow at all
