You Were Never Meant For Me

I knew something wasn’t right

When you left me home last night

You said you had somewhere to be

I heard your voice was cold

And it might have been too bold

But I had to try and see

So I followed you to town

Saw you were whiskey bound

And felt that old familiar fear

You walked beneath that neon light

Right out of my sight

And I knew the end was here

whoaaaa  now it’s up to me

Whoaaa I'll show you how to be

whoaaaa  now it’s up to me

Whoaaa I'll show you how to be

Whooooooo I was too blind to seeeeeeee

You were never meant for me

No turning back now

had to know somehow

What the depth of your crimes were

walked in and took a seat

You didn’t notice me

Because I saw your lips meet hers

The price you’ll pay is high

Consider this goodbye

You won’t hurt me again

Let It Break Your Heart

Let that wind blow

Let  that love go 

let it tear you apart 

let that cold in 

Let the world spin

Let it break your heart

Your hands are breaking Your life has been hard

You've been made brittle and scarred

You cover them up but the cracks they still show

they come creeping back like the wind and the snow

Your heaven ain't big It's right here below

Don't mind the sun or the cold

Don't mind the darkness or the next day

you've got your smile and time wasting away

You know this place like the back of your hand 

You know each inch of this land

The lights of the freeway they glow in the distance

But you know you're home behind this old wood fence

And I say...

Good Night To Make A Bad Mistake

You look like the man you hire/ when you're guilty

I can see right through/ that smirk

You should stay away from me/ I know just what you are, you see, 

and All your normal tricks/ ain't gonna work

I've given you enough attention 

You're a black hole of affection

Who's buried in those walls you had to make

But I've dug through deeper in the past

I'm strong enough and built to last

It's a good night to make a bad mistake

You're everything I never wanted/ I need someone to pray for me

 Please just shut your mouth/ you ridiculous man

Let's get this done, / Let's call it fun

Let’s do this/ just because we can

It's not that you ain't pretty/ you just look better under bar lights

But I see you, boy, and I see death

There's no flower underneath your pillow And my dreams won't be sweet

I think need/ to take a breath 

I Know We’re Okay

I'm dreaming of someplace, far away

And time to be with you

These walls surround me, close me in

Keep me far from you

I hold your hand

You say my name

And I know

We're okay

You take my hand

I say your name

And I know 

We're okay

We could run away right now

Sell everything we own

Where we'd go God only knows

To a place we've always known

Find the splintered rails, of an old front porch

Strong beneath my hands

Wrap my arms round your shoulders

And look out on the land

Darlin'

Clouds are boiling

In the distance

And I’ve nowhere left to run

Oh my darling oh my darling

What is it that

I have done

You had longed so long to see me

And you thought I felt the same

But my heart it seems was wicked

And I lied and played my games

How I hurt you And I meant to

For I’d been hurt before

And I meant to yes I meant to

Pass the hurt on once more

You saw hope and saw salvation

You wanted it all to be true

But I led you from your family

Just to be cruel

Now the rain has started falling

On this dry and thirsting land

And I’ll never quite forget how

I destroyed an innocent man

Young And In Love

We're not the losers

We're not the winners

We're the creators

We're no beginners

Sometimes we're believers

Always sinners

We've never been saints, but

Sometimes there's a glimmer.. 

You give me hope

Because you know 

Young and in love Is good

Old and in love is better

You give me hope

Because you know 

Young and in love Is good

Old and in love is better

When we were younger

thought love had to be

Fireworks and tempers

Raging hopelessly

But now that I'm older

And I can see better

You're kind and I trust you

Nothing else matters 

ONE FOR THE AGES

Billings To Pueblo
Caught a greyhound in Spokane
Without anything much planned
Just a trip for the weekend
He never knew quite what happened

At a Montana bus stop
He saw her and his heart stopped
A half shirt and a dead tooth
There she stood by the ticket booth

Just the right type of trashy, Just the right type of classy
Who knew love could be found, On a southbound greyhound...

Oh their love was one for the ages
The kind they write on those romance book pages
Whatever way she goes That's the way he goes
As long as they both go From Billings to Pueblo

Caught him looking in Cheyenne
By Denver they were past holding hands
Making out in the backseat
Knowing they were finally complete

Time was short but love is fast
They knew it wasn't meant to last
His ride would end in Amarillo
She'd say goodbye to him in Pueblo

And they'd never forget
And they'd never regret
That they both took a bet
On someone they just met

Just the right type of trashy, Just the right type of classy
Who knew love could be found, On a southbound greyhound...

(Oh yeah they'd sing) our love Is one for the ages
The kind that they’d write on those romance book pages
Whatever way you go, that's the way I go
As long as we both go from billings to pueblo
Whatever way you go, that's the way I go
As long as we both go from billings to pueblo

Hey Love
Hey love
What do we do about you
Hey love
What do we do about you
Every time I turn around
You’re trying to bring me down
Hey love, hey love


I keep my heart locked up tight
And my head deep in the sand
But that don’t stop me hearing about
The things you do secondhand
No matter what I do or say
that pain still finds me anyway
Hey love
I can’t get away

I keep being told
To expect great disappointment
I keep being told
The end is near
No matter what you bring to me
I can’t seem to shake you free
Hey love
Please let me be

Hey love, hey love
Hey love, hey love
Hey love, hey love

A Delicate Process
When it all seems lost
and I’ve no hope
I think about you
When I’m just surviving
But I don’t give up
I think about you

The darkness keeps coming
The hard times don’t stop
But then I think about you
Those nights can be deceptively long
I don’t trust em
But I do trust you

You make it good
You make it great
You make it all
Worth the wait
It takes awhile
But you make me smile
It’s a delicate process
But so worth the wait

My heart is hurting
My dreams are undone
But still I think about you
When all I can do
Is run till I drop
I think about you

I might just believe
In things I don’t see
When I think about you
You make me think
There’s good days to come
When I think about you

‘Cause you make it good....

It is well
All is well
It is well
In my soul x4

Tiger
I will not consume your darkness
Will not suffer any fools
Will not tolerate your hatred
And I Will not be your tool

I won’t let the hatred take me
No I will not lose this fight
I will not let you make me
Dim my light into your night

The tigers out
The tigers out
Destroyed her cage
The tiger’s out

She’s out she’s out
The tigers out
Destroyed her cage
The tigers out

She’s out she’s out
She’s out she’s out
Destroyed her cage
The tiger’s out

I might want to see you suffer
I might want to see your pain
I might want to see you hurting
As you lose this wicked game

Although I wont bring judgement
I do not wish you ill
I am the one you need to fear
I am a bitter pill

Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
All right

The tigers out
The tigers out
Destroyed her cage
The tiger’s out

She’s out she’s out
The tigers out
Destroyed her cage
The tigers out

She’s out she’s out
She’s out she’s out
Destroyed her cage
The tiger’s out

The tigers out
The tigers out
Destroyed her cage
The tigers out

YOU CAN'T KILL GHOSTS

Will Not Fade Away

I’d leave you standing in the cold

So I wouldn’t have to feel the chill

I’d leave you stranded by the roadside

And I’d be safe behind the wheel 

I won’t light myself on fire

won’t step in front of no train for you

I don’t care what you might think

My head is strong, my heart is too

The sky is dark

My mind is black

I am filled with rage

There’s a rhyme

But there’s no reason

And I’m finally

Outta this cage

I’m cold inside 

but not afraid

When my time 

finally comes

I will not fade away

I will not fade away

For you

You said I’m bad, but for a bad woman

I might be one of the best

Walls and doors torn down

I was forced to make this mess

Someday I will be judged

But I don’t think it’ll be for this 

I should have been right out that door 

The first time you clenched your fist

CHORUS

I said I’m going, 

Yes I’m going 

Leaving anger 

and my shame

I’ll be in the wind 

and in the dust

taking nothing 

but my name

CHORUS 2x 

I will not fade away

For you

We Will Rise

Every day, when I wake up

I could be great, is what i say

But when the chance, it comes along

I always look, the other way

Every day when I wake up 

I could be strong, is what I say

But when it’s time to move along

I choose to stay, i choose to stay

Am I wrong, am I right, can I ever win this fight? 

But I will rise

I will rise

I will rise

I will rise

hear my joy

hear my cry

And i will rise 

Keep finding ways, To waste my time

Keep finding trouble, lost my mind 

I don’t try but it comes out anyway

Keep being cruel, but i wanna be kind

Keep letting rage fill up this space

Keep letting rage control this place

Gonna cut my mouth wide open

Rip this mask right off my face

Am I wrong, am I right can I ever win this fight? 

But I will rise

I will rise

I will rise

I will rise

hear my joy

hear my cry

And i will rise 

Instrumental 

Am I wrong, am I right can I ever win this fight?

But we will rise x9

Can't Say Goodbye Completely

I wake up

My tongue made of velvet

That’s part of a bar seat

That’s been there

For five decades past

My body is shaking

My stomach is nails

And I feel like I swallowed

My failures

My head's full of glass

I can’t say goodbye completely

You sold me on your lie 

so sweetly I can’t say 

goodbye to you completely

My skin hangs in sadness

There ain’t nothin good 

So why do I still

want this madness

nobody should 

Afraid of a pain 

that I know is coming

So why not 

rehearse for it now

Then do it again

lalala lalala

And I can’t say goodbye completely

And I can’t say goodbye completely

You sold me on your lie 

so sweetly I can’t say 

goodbye to you completely

Drunk And Lost In Tennessee

Drunk and lost in Tennessee

Where else in the world could I be

That would leave me so/ Sad and low

But drunk and lost in Tennessee

Honey it was just a little fight

Won't you turn off that light

I’ll tell you more in the morning

This state should come with a warning

And while I’m glad that you’re with me

I don’t remember things clearly

But I know come sunrise….I’ll..still…be…

Chorus

I know I  started off fine/ Just having a good time

What was it I was drinking/ That got me this far from thinking

I can't say how I got here/ But it probably wasn’t light beer

Now the trouble…that I’m in…is clear

Chorus

seems each time I'm in this town

I just can't put that bottle down

I keep on breaking your heart

These nights are tearing us apart

And it seems that you can’t see that this will be the end of me

Cause this aint the last time…that…I'll ..be 

Whole Heart

I loved her with my whole heart

But she loved me a whole lot harder

Never wanted to Leave my side

And I could never love another

The way that I loved her, I could never even try

I loved her with my whole heart

She loved me a whole lot harder

And I know I won’t recover From the day we said goodbye

She was a bright spot, a bright dot

In a dark dark sky

Bet I won’t find another like her

Won’t even try

Sometimes you lose a gift

Sometimes You say goodbye

She was a bright spot, a bright dot

In a dark dark sky

She had a heart that was

A Beautiful sponge

She soaked up all my tears 

And absorbed all my love

When I was hurt, I was a mess

She fixed me up, she got it done

She had a heart that was

A beautiful sponge

All These Ways

When I first saw you on that barstool

I knew exactly what love means

Although at first i was so ladylike

I'm  not exactly what I seem

Yeah I took you home that evening

And I swore I’d make you mine

And what feels likes decades later

I’m still trying to find out why…….

(there’s) All these ways you make me crazy

All these ways you rile me up

All these ways you mean the world to me

And I never want to stop

Now we’ve made it through the easy times

Now we’re in the thick of things

Now we’re hanging on for dear life

And seeing what the future brings

Now  we’re in this for the long haul

It’s what they call domestic bliss

And every now and then you prove to me

That you still know how to kiss

(there’s) All these ways you make me crazy

All these ways you rile me up

All these ways you mean the world to me

And I never want to stop

(there’s) All these ways you make me crazy

All these ways you rile me up

All these ways you mean the world to me

And I never want to stop

3x tag to end

Everything You Taught Me

 I know how to hike for miles

I know how to light a fire

I know how to pitch a tent and

I know how to change a tire

I know how to play some instruments how to read the notes

I learned everything you asked me

But it wasn’t quite enough

And I know how to ride a horse

I know how to fly a plane

I know how to cry in silence

I know how to sit in pain

Everything you taught me

Everything you taught me

You didn’t mean to teach me

Everything you taught me

I know how to get angry

and how to pitch a fit

I know how to blame everyone

And not own my own shit

I know how to rob and steal 

how to lie to those you love

I know exactly how to cheat

I know what hurtin someone does

And I know how to ride a horse

I know how to fly a plane

I know how to cry in silence

I know how to sit in pain

Everything you taught me

Everything you taught me

You didn’t mean to teach me

Everything you taught me

don’t quite know how to apologize

Or how to ask forgiveness

don’t know how to admit I’m wrong

guess you never taught me this

And I know how to ride a horse

I know how to fly a plane

I know how to cry in silence

I know how to sit in pain

Everything you taught me

Everything you taught me

You didn’t mean to teach me

Everything you taught me

Hotel With No Name

You've been on the road for weeks by now

No end to it in sight

The billboards start to catch your eye

Need to try to sleep tonight

the engine starts to whine and knock

You take it as a sign 

Nowhere could be as bad

As what you've left behind

The mechanic seems resigned to life

He tells you the bad news 

Parts you need are hard to find

You can stay long as you choose

There ain't nothing else for miles ahead

You've seen all there was behind

And although you start to feel unease 

You'll probably be just fine

But the wind keeps blowing, like you've never 

heard before

And something keeps on keeping you, 

from moving out that door

It's like you've always been here

It's always been the same

You feel the slip of something cold

Inside your brain

You cry out to those lonely plains

But no one hears a thing

You're living and you're dying

At the hotel with no name

The old brick buildings tell the tale

Of grander days they knew

It all looks lovely here at first

It's hard to tell what's true

Are you just here by accident

Luck of the draw they say

Or is there something that brought you here

And makes you need to stay 

The bottles start to pile inside

Your lonely room for one

Been days since their service came

You're bout to come undone

You make a vow, it's time to change

It's time to leave this place

But when you look in the mirror

You're not sure you see your face

Torch The House

We torched the house

Watched it burn

Down to the ground

Everything turned

From wood to ash

Bone into dust

All we could love

All we could trust

We torched the house

I’d be with you 

And I’d miss you

Don’t know if I

I should kill or kiss you

don’t know if I

Should even try

don’t know if I should

Should let this die

I said to you 

I was no angel

You said to me

You weren’t one too

So I ran

To hill from coast

But everyone knows

You can’t kill ghosts

So we torched the house

Watched it burn

Down to the ground

Everything turned

From wood to ash

Bone into dust

All we could love

All we could trust

We torched the house

OH LUCRETIA

Oh Lucretia

The landscape before me

Is barren and dry

And the choice that we made dear

To just say goodbye

Now haunts us forever

There’s no turning back

The future without you

Is bleak, sad and black

Oh Lucretia

My darling Lucretia

Your gravestones all

covered In snow

Oh Lucretia

My darling Lucretia

I can’t believe I’m here

And you’re down below

I visit you daily

And sometimes I swear

That I hear you calling

Somehow from somewhere

And sometimes I see you

Among all the trees

But it’s just lies,

Told by the cold cold breeze

Chorus

Last time I saw you

You swore you’d return

The passion you spoke with

The fire that burned

It frightened me so much

I could not contain

My rage and my fear

And I ended your pain

And I promised I’d never

Tell a soul what I’d done 

When I buried you here

In these woods all alone

But it seems like you’re finding

A way to be heard

The truth it’ll come out

And I’ll hang on those words

Oh Lucretia

My darling Lucretia

Our gravestones are all

covered In snow

Oh Lucretia

My darling Lucretia

I can’t believe I’m here

With you down below

With you down below

THE GIFT OF POISON

Ain’t No Saint

I’m not your inspiration

I am the main attraction

No martyrs, no queens 

Have ever shared my name

I’ll torture your poor conscience

I’m the reason you feel bad

But when you do wrong

You’re the one to blame

Baby I come on

Like a vampire

Ready to take

Ready to feed

But while I’ll give you

What you want

I won’t give you

What you need

I am the gift of poison

I am the gift of rancor

I am the gift of venom

I’m every single thing

That you ain’t 

I am the gift of poison

I am the gift of rancor

I am the gift of venom

And I 

Ain’t no saint

I’m clothed in complete darkness

There’s blood behind my eyes

And hundreds of snakes

Are making up my hair

I’m holding up a mirror

To your terrified face

Keep your eyes on your reflection

So you can get your share

Baby I come on

Like a vampire

Ready to take

Ready to feed

But while I’ll give you

What you want

I won’t give you

What you need

I am the gift of poison

I am the gift of rancor

I am the gift of venom

I’m every single thing

That you ain’t 

I am the gift of poison

I am the gift of rancor

I am the gift of venom

And I

Ain’t no saint

Baby I come on

Like a vampire

Ready to take

Ready to feed

But while I’ll give you

What you want

I won’t give you

What you need 

I am the gift of poison

I am the gift of rancor

I am the gift of venom

I’m every single thing

That you ain’t 

I am the gift of poison

I am the gift of rancor

I am the gift of venom

And I

Ain’t no saint

I am the gift of poison

I am the gift of rancor

I am the gift of venom

And I

Ain’t no saint

Red Light

Know a woman named Shirley

She’s got cats but prefers dogs

She doesn’t know what’s going on

In that house with all those hogs

She says they turn that red light on

Almost every single night

And she can see it for miles and miles

And it makes her wanna fight

Hey girl, what do you think is going on

Hey girl what do you think is going wrong

You see that red light glowing in the distance

You see that red light shining through the night

You see that red light glowing in the distance

And you know that it’s not right 

Shirley used to sing sad songs

Before she met her husband

They’d line up just to hear her voice

Each night in Fort Morgan

Shirley used to dance a bit

She doesn’t do that anymore

She leaves that for the other girls

Who want men knocking down their door 

Hey girl, what do you think is going on

Hey girl what do you think is going wrong

You see that red light glowing in the distance

You see that red light shining through the night

You see that red light glowing in the distance

And you know that it’s not right 

Is it aliens come to take you

Or a house of ill repute

Put that gun down, Shirley

Girl don’t shoot

Hey girl, what do you think is going on

Hey girl what do you think is going wrong

You see that red light glowing in the distance

You see that red light shining through the night

You see that red light glowing in the distance

And you know that it’s not right 

You see that red light glowing in the distance

You see that red light shining through the night

You see that red light glowing in the distance

And you know that it’s not right 

Just Your Type

I see you sitting all alone

But I’m the one who will be true

I can tell from over here

No one could love you like I do

You say you’d never try to love again

But I know how to do this dance 

And it might be a little risky

But don’t you want to take a chance

 

I might be a little forward 

But you’re just so right for me

I might be a little forward

But baby can’t you see

I’m just your type

I’m just your type

I’m just your type

I’m just your type

Oh I know she broke your heart

I know she took all she could

I know you’re the victim here

I know you did all you should

Oh why shouldn’t you forget her

Why not forget most everything 

Why not start something brand new

I’ll take away that sting

I might be a little forward 

But you’re just so right for me

I might be a little forward

But baby can’t you see

I’m just your type

I’m just your type

I’m just your type

I’m just your type

 

I just want to keep you close 

I just wanna make you mine

Doesn’t matter if you think I’m cruel

I’ll show you that I’m so kind

This is the way it’s gotta be

You’re gonna see that it’s because

I’m not like the other girls

But you’re gonna wish I was 

I might be a little forward 

But you’re just so right for me

I might be a little forward

But baby can’t you see

I’m just your type

I’m just your type

I’m just your type

I’m just your type

I’m just your type

Chase Your Tail

Well I ain’t gonna chase my tail

And I sure ain’t gonna chase yours

At the end of it all 

All we’ll have done 

Is the exact thing we did before

What are you going to do

When you catch yourself, friend

Won’t be anything new, I’m sure

Well I ain’t gonna chase my tail

And I sure ain’t gonna chase yours

Now there’s plenty of tails being chased

And there’s plenty of people getting tired

I’m gonna throw it all right out the door

I’m gonna light it all on fire

Well I ain’t gonna chase my tail

And I sure ain’t gonna chase yours

At the end of it all 

All we’ll have done 

Is the exact thing we did before

What are you going to do

When you catch yourself, friend

Won’t be anything new, I’m sure

Well I ain’t gonna chase my tail

And I sure ain’t gonna chase yours

Im gonna keep writing songs on the bathroom walls

I’m gonna keep singing songs to an empty hall

I’m gonna keep doing just what I want to do

This is where I choose to fall

Well I ain’t gonna chase my tail

And I sure ain’t gonna chase yours

At the end of it all 

All we’ll have done 

Is the exact thing we did before

What are you going to do

When you catch yourself, friend

Won’t be anything new, I’m sure

Well I ain’t gonna chase my tail

And I sure ain’t gonna chase yours

You work to keep the same old peace

I’m here to start a little crime 

I’m gonna throw my boots on

I’m gonna throw my boots on

I’m gonna throw my boots on

And go have me a good time 

Well I ain’t gonna chase my tail

And I sure ain’t gonna chase yours

At the end of it all 

All we’ll have done 

Is the exact thing we did before

What are you going to do

When you catch yourself, friend

Won’t be anything new, I’m sure

Well I ain’t gonna chase my tail

And I sure ain’t gonna chase yours

Yeah I ain’t gonna chase my tail

And I sure ain’t gonna chase yours

Hateland 

They hate and they rage like they’re paid to do so

They wear venom loudly, all sunburned and spittle

They scream and they moan about too many feelings

They claim to love Jesus, and say you should too

I wonder if they know what color his skin was, 

I wonder if they know he cared about women

I wonder if they know, he said to love those

Who aren’t just like you

There’s no kindness, compassion, and no empathy

Home of the brave and land of the free

Free to be cruel, long as you think you’re right

Free to hurt who you can in the name of the fight

We’re tired, we’re down, but we’re still trying

We want to keep going, but we can't stop dying

They beat up our flag, now it’s all black and blue

And it’s one more weapon to wave in our faces

Some are just lost, and some believe lies

And some of us sink, but I think we can rise

Hating right back sure won’t get us nowhere

But together with Love we can win this

There’s no kindness, compassion, and no empathy

Home of the brave and land of the free

Free to be cruel, long as you think you’re right

Free to hurt who you can in the name of the fight

There’s no kindness, compassion, and no empathy

Home of the brave and land of the free

Free to be cruel, long as you think you’re right

Free to hurt who you can in the name of the fight

I heard someday the earth will belong to the meek

Being kind’s not the same thing as being weak

Only In Dreams

Only in dreams

Do I let myself kiss you

Only in dreams

Do I let myself miss you

Only in dreams

Do I

Still feel my arms around you 

Only in dreams

Only in dreams

Only in dreams

Can I forgive you

Only in dreams

Can I regret you

Only in dreams

Can I

Forget I ever met you

Only in dreams

Only in dreams

Ooooooh

Ooooooh

Ooooooh

Only in dreams

Oh you hurt me and I hurt you

But I miss the way our lies seemed true

And even though we’re finally free

you’re still a dream to me

Only in dreams

Will I still deceive you

Only in dreams

Will I still believe you 

Only in dreams

Will I

Still hear me calling to you

Only in dreams

Only in dreams

Only in dreams

Only in dreams

Meet Me at the Bottom

Meet me at the bottom

Meet me in the rain

We can hold hands

As we circle the drain

Comes on like a freight train 

Full of mud and pain

But what I like about you

Is I don’t need to explain 

That you need to meet me 

At the bottom

Once again

God's been pointed at me 

like a loaded gun

For most of my life

And I do believe 

he might exist

But I’m not sure he’s too nice

And oh that devil, 

He may run the world, 

But I still have my heart

Though it’s rough and 

It’s all calloused now

And mostly torn apart

Meet me at the bottom

Meet me in the rain

We can hold hands

As we circle the drain

Comes on like a freight train 

Full of mud and pain

But what I like about you

Is I don’t need to explain 

That you need to meet me 

At the bottom

Once again

Maybe I should just 

Quit trying to run

From these heartaches haunting me

Maybe someday I will know

Why I’m so much worse

Than I want to be 

Oh I guess I could wait

To be inspired 

I could wait for some insight 

For now I’ll give my all

And go down swinging

Gotta get my fists in this fight

Meet me at the bottom

Meet me in the rain

We can hold hands

As we circle the drain

Comes on like a freight train 

Full of mud and pain

But what I like about you

Is I don’t need to explain 

That you need to meet me 

At the bottom

Once again

Meet me at the bottom

Meet me in the rain

We can hold hands

As we circle the drain

Comes on like a freight train 

Full of mud and pain

But what I like about you

Is I don’t need to explain 

That you need to meet me 

At the bottom

Once again

But what I like about you,

Is I don’t need to explain 

That you need to meet me 

At the bottom

Once again

Blood Left To Bleed

The bones of the old cacti

Are littering the landscape

I can barely make em out

In the dim moonlight

My feet and heart are tired

But I know I must keep moving

There’s no point in stopping

‘Cause there’s no end in sight

Oh I’m told that I’m not wanted

Where I’m going

But I’m no longer welcome

In the place I’d rather be

But I still have my heart to beat

My breath to take, my songs to sing

And I still have blood left to bleed

The bones of all my sins

Glow in the path behind me

And the path before me’s lit

From the fire of all I fear

The things I love are burning

And the smokes destroyed my eyes

For the future and the past

I’ll shed these tears 

Oh I’m told that I’m not wanted

Where I’m going

But I’m no longer welcome

In the place I’d rather be

But I still have my heart to beat

My breath to take, my songs to sing

And I still have blood left to bleed

 

The heat makes oily puddles 

The palm fronds wave me on

Like welcoming sentries

To a place I can’t belong

And all I want is simple

Doesn’t matter who I am

All I want’s to feel good

And free and real and strong

Oh I’m told that I’m not wanted

Where I’m going

But I’m no longer welcome

In the place I’d rather be

But I still have my heart to beat

My breath to take, my songs to sing

And I still have blood left to bleed

And I still have blood left to bleed

And I still have blood left to bleed

And I still have blood left to bleed

And I still have blood left to bleed

Take Take Take

I don’t want to have a reason

I just want to take your space

Don’t want to wonder why I’m here

I don’t have to know my place

Life is full of lessons

But I’ll never take the test

I’ll watch you crawl, don’t care at all

No I’ll never let you rest

Hold my eyelids back

Until they crack

I need to see the proof

Tear away the veil

My heart may fail

But then I’ll know the truth

All I do is 

Take take take

Never see 

My own mistakes

All I do is 

Take take take

Never see 

My own mistakes

Don’t want to fight don’t want to try

Wont look for something more

But emptiness keeps knocking 

Keeps on knocking down my door

Pretend to hope, and fake my faith

But life isn’t short or smart

Lie to myself until I can’t no more

And then I’ll fall apart 

Hold my eyelids back

Until they crack

I need to see the proof

Tear away the veil

My heart may fail

But then I’ll know the truth

All I do is 

Take take take

Never see 

My own mistakes

All I do is 

Take take take

Never see 

My own mistakes

Hold my eyelids back

Until they crack

I need to see the proof

Tear away the veil

My heart may fail

But then I’ll know the truth

All I do is 

Take take take

Never see 

My own mistakes

All I do is 

Take take take

Never see 

My own mistakes

All I do is 

Take take take

Never see 

My own mistakes

All I do is 

Take take take

Never see 

My own mistakes

All I do is 

Take take take

Never see 

My own mistakes

All I do is 

Take take take

Never see 

My own mistakes

Oooooh

Oooooh

Every Little Thing

Trouble or Nothing

Oh honey why should I be worried?

I got no reason to be afraid

You’re the one I’m coming after

And you know that I won’t be swayed 

Now I don’t mind your flyin bullets

We all die someday anyway 

It might as well be here and now

It might as well be here today

When I go I go hell for leather

Fast as I can to get to you

I’ll bet everything I got

It’s trouble or nothing with you

I know you can’t win ‘em all

But I won’t keep being the one to lose

I’ll bet everything I got

It’s trouble or nothing with you

Don’t second guess how strong I am

Don’t underestimate my will

And when I know you’re dead and gone

I’ll keep on fighting still

Oh you think you’ll get away from me?

You think there’s room to run?

There won’t be a trace to see

A thing left when I’m done

When I go I go hell for leather

Fast as I can to get to you

I’ll bet everything I got

It’s trouble or nothing with you

I know you can’t win ‘em all

But I won’t keep being the one to lose

I’ll bet everything I got

It’s trouble or nothing with you

You think you’ll make me cry a river

You think you’ll make night out of day

But inside I am flying high

Because now it’s time, 

to make a fool pay

When I go I go hell for leather

Fast as I can to get to you

I’ll bet everything I got

It’s trouble or nothing with you

I know you can’t win ‘em all

But I won’t keep being the one to lose

I’ll bet everything I got

It’s trouble or nothing with you

When I go I go hell for leather

Fast as I can to get to you

I’ll bet everything I got

It’s trouble or nothing with you

I know you can’t win ‘em all

But I won’t keep being the one to lose

I’ll bet everything I got

It’s trouble or nothing with you

It’s trouble or nothing with you

It’s trouble or nothing with you

It’s trouble or nothing with you

Mountain State

So you’ve come across some hard times

Lost your money and your love

And the sound of no one listening 

Is all around, below, above

You’ve forgotten how to have hope

You’ve forgotten how to thrive

But don’t forget your hearts still beating

With the joy of bein’ alive

And when you see that big old blue sky

And the sun it hits your face

You can feel like heaven’s nearby

And sadness leaves, without a trace 

You’ve got birds who won’t stop singing

You’ve got flowers still to savor

You’ve got hills and trees around you

To show you life’s still in your favor

Yes, these mountains never leave you 

They rise high without a flaw

Oh and they will leave you breathless

Filled with wonder, love, and awe

So if you feel unlucky

And life is seeming so unkind

Lift your eyes and take a breath in

Let the mountains change your mind

Yes, these mountains never leave you 

They rise high without a flaw

Oh and they will leave you breathless

Filled with wonder, love, and awe

So if you feel unlucky

And life is seeming so unkind

Lift your eyes and take a breath in

Let the mountains change your mind

Lift your eyes and take a breath in

Let the mountains change your mind

Yes let the mountains change your mind
