I’ve been high
I’ve been low
I’ve been wound up tighter than a hangmans rope
I broke hearts
I’ve been burned
Taught a lot of lessons but I never learned
I’ve been good
I’ve been bad
Been the best worst friend that you’ve ever had
I’ve been right
I’ve been wrong
I’m a walkin’ talkin’ livin’ breathin’ country song
Money can’t buy more than it can
When you ain’t got nothing but something to prove
The price is high for not giving a damn
But when you don’t you ain’t got nothing to lose
It ain’t hard to be a fool like me
All It Cost Me Was Everything
I get loose
I get loud
Give a lot of people shit to talk about
I get mad
I get mean
I’m a fire tongued devil with a belly full of gasoline
Money can’t buy more than it can
When you ain’t got nothing but something to prove
The price is high for not giving a damn
But when you don’t you ain’t got nothing to lose
It ain’t hard to be a fool like me
All It Cost Me Was Everything
Everything
Money can’t buy more than it can
When you ain’t got nothing but something to prove
The price is high for not giving a damn
But when you don’t you ain’t got nothing to lose
It ain’t hard to be a fool like me
No It ain’t hard to be a fool like me

Hurt You
02:56
|

I hear them talking under their breath
Their lips don’t move but I know what they said
I see them looking me up and down
Hiding their smiles like I’m some kind of clown
They don’t know what you don’t know
I’m gonna Hurt You as much as I can
And watch you cry and die where you stand
I want to hear your tears hit the floor
I’m gonna Hurt You
And hurt you some more
I felt the air sucked out of the room
What the hell did you get into
They just assume that I must be blind
Man I wish they could read my mind
Cause they don’t know what you don’t know
I’m gonna walk right up to your friends
I’m gonna tell them about the mess you’re in
You’re gonna watch their jaws hit the floor
I’m gonna Hurt You
And Hurt You some more
I’m gonna hurt you like you’ve never hurt
I’m gonna drive your name in the dirt
You won the battle but I win the war
I’m gonna Hurt You and Hurt You
I’m gonna Hurt You as much as I can
And watch you cry and die where you stand
I want to hear your tears hit the floor
I’m gonna Hurt You
And hurt you some more
I’m gonna Hurt You
And hurt you some more

Mercy
02:54
|
|||
|
Strong liquor and an empty glass
And three weeks that kicked my ass
This runnin’ ragged sure is hell on me
I’m nine miles a minute and I’m head-long in it
And she knows she’s in up to her knees
And she’s patient when she’s had enough
That’s how she shows me love
And she gives me more than she gets from me
Sometimes the whole thing gets me down
It takes more than love to turn around
I have Mercy when I need it
That’s one thing I’ll always need
And she knows it
And lord she shows it
She gives me every reason to believe
I have Mercy when I need it
And that’s one thing I always need
And she knows it
And lord she shows it
She gives me every reason to believe
And she knows it
And lord she shows it
She gives me every reason to believe
Strong liquor and an empty glass
Three weeks that kicked my ass
This runnin’ ragged sure is hell on me

Feeding the Flames
02:57
|

|
There’s a fire deep inside of my lady that burns just for me
She struck a match on a heart full of gasoline
Sometimes it burns like a candle
Sometimes it’s out of control
Like on nights when it rains
And she’s pouring champagne
And she calls out my name in the dark
Passionate light and with eyes full of lightening we light up the night with a spark
Feeding the Flames of the heart
There’s been loves in the past went from embers to ashes to cold
In the blaze of the dawn we stay going strong in the glow
Sometimes it burns like a candle
Sometimes it’s out of control
Like on nights when it rains
And she’s pouring champagne
And she calls out my name in the dark
Passionate light and with eyes full of lightening we light up the night with a spark
Feeding the Fames of the heart
Sometimes it burns like a candle
Sometimes it’s out of control
I love nights when it rains
And she’s pouring champagne
And she calls out my name in the dark
Passionate light and with eyes full of lightening we light up the night with a spark
Feeding the Flames
Feeding the Flames of the heart
Feeding the fFames of the heart

I could conjure up so many times
From the good old days when she was mine
I could reminisce on the crazy nights
When I held her close, but I always cry
No I Don’t Trust My Memories Anymore
They ain’t the friends I thought they were before
They used to be so fond
Now my faith in them is gone
No I Don’t Trust My Memories Anymore
Got a thousand scars all across my back
This wounded heart just can’t get past
When I see you now in a perfect dream
I wake myself before it turns on me
No I Don’t Trust My Memories Anymore
They ain’t the friends I thought they were before
They used to be so fond
Now my faith in them is gone
No I Don’t Trust My Memories Anymore
No I Don’t Trust My Memories Anymore
They ain’t the friends I thought they were before
They used to be so fond
Now my faith in them is gone
I I Don’t Trust My Memories Anymore
They used to be so fond
Now my faith in them is gone
I I Don’t Trust My Memories Anymore

Like A Hurricane
02:55
|
|||
|
Well I prayed for peaceful waters
But the storms already came
So Let it rain
Let it rain
When the going gets a little harder
Don’t throw it all away
Even though they’re moving slow
The winds of change are gonna blow like a Hurricane
When you’re coming from the bottom you don’t feel like number one
They’ll be days that seem impossible until you get’em done
I’ve been running to the things I thought I was running from
But I’ll run until the day my breath is taken from my lungs
Well I prayed for peaceful waters
But the storms already came
So Let it rain
Let it rain
When the going gets a little harder
Don’t throw it all away
Even though they’re moving slow
The winds of change are gonna blow like a Hurricane
When you’ve made it to the top you don’t feel like number one
You can’t stop because they count on you to be what you’ve become
It’s not an option but to run at things you should be running from
Cause you’ve gotten what you wanted now you’ve got to get it done
Well I prayed for peaceful waters
But the storms already came
So Let it rain
Let it rain
When the going gets a little harder
Don’t throw it all away
Even though they’re moving slow
The winds of change are gonna blow like a Hurricane
Well I prayed for peaceful waters
But the storms already came
So Let it rain
Let it rain
When the going gets a little harder
Don’t throw it all away
Even though they’re moving slow
The winds of change are gonna blow like a Hurricane

How It Works
03:51
|

|
Well they said we’d never make it
And they just wonder How It Works alright
Yeah time does tell a story
And time does fly
We’re just fine alright
You need to know that she still drives me crazy
In every good way, yeah
Ain’t nobody else on earth gets to me
The way she moves me
Yeah Yeah
Well love said that we’d make it
They still wonder How It Works alright
Yeah time will tell our story
And time does fly
And we’re still fine alright
You need to know she still drives me crazy
In every good way, yeah
Ain’t nobody else on earth gets to me
The way she moves me
Yeah Yeah
And Even though she still drives me crazy
In every good way, yeah
Ain’t nobody else on earth gets to me
The way she moves me
Yeah Yeah

Nobody Knows How to Read
02:49

Chasing our tails
And calling it hell
And running ‘cause running it’s free
While they’re filling our heads
With tin penny dread
Of whatever they want us to see
But we’re here for the show
We already know that it ends like some old tragedy
I’ve got my ear to the ground, there’s signs all around
Nobody Knows how To Read
Agendas are sold to the masses
A train wreck, a car crash is all that they show
As soon as we’re cut into classes
They shake up the bottle and watch it explode
Time never changes
And don’t stay the same like the motives of man seem to do
We can bitch we can moan
But that ships long gone
And it ain’t sailing back round too soon
Are you enjoying the show
You already know that it ends like some old tragedy
So keep your ear to the ground, there’s signs all around
Nobody Knows how To Read
Agendas are sold to the masses
A train wreck, a car crash is all that they show
As soon as we’re cut into classes
They shake up the bottle and watch it explode

Shoulders
03:15
|
|||
|
Workin down my third cup of coffee
Waiting on the grey to burn away
Seems the world outside my window is getting colder
Pray for my Shoulders
I finally just stopped turning on the TV
All it ever does is bring me down
Til this old wicked world starts turning slower
Pray for my Shoulders
Heaven only knows
How time can take its toll
Lay burdens on a soul along the way
The weight can hang so heavy
It gets harder standing steady
And holding on gets tougher everyday
So tonight when you get on your knees won’t you pray
For my Shoulders
Heaven only knows
How time can take its toll
Lay burdens on a soul along the way
Yeah the weight can hang so heavy
It gets harder standing steady
And holding on gets tougher everyday
So tonight when you get on your knees won’t you pray
Yeah tonight when you get on your knees won’t you pray
Working down my third cup of coffee
Waiting on the grey to burn away

Dying Isn't Cheap
03:40
|
|||
|
There’s an ashtray of crushed out cigarettes
And an empty bourbon bottle by his bed
A pile of change, a worn-out match book with a name
And a number scribbled on it that can’t be read
Living all alone and in the red
I guess sometimes it’s worse than being dead
And he said, Dying Isn’t Cheap
It’s a mighty hefty cost
When you’re doing it like me
You’ve already lost
If I had to buy my way to heaven
Guess I’d go to hell
Since the only thing she left me
Was this old soul to sell
Since she set me free
Living don’t come easy and Dying Isn’t Cheap
He said, that woman she was everything
But I guess I wasn’t everything to her
For that woman I gave anything
Now I’d give anything to drown the hurt
I guess I’ll live forever missing her
Because the pills and top shelf whiskey just don’t work
Dying Isn’t Cheap
It’s a mighty hefty cost
And doing it like me
You’ve already lost
If I had to buy my way to heaven
Guess I’d go to hell
Since the only thing she left me
Was this old soul to sell
Since she set me free
Living don’t come easy and Dying Isn’t Cheap
If I had to buy my way to heaven
Guess I’d go to hell
Since the only thing she left me
Was this old soul to sell
Since she set me free
Living don’t come easy and Dying Isn’t Cheap

Roll
03:12
|

|
There ain’t nothing worse than losing somebody
Love is such a precious thing to find
And I’m the first to admit, it might kill me
If I wasn’t so damn stubborn all the time
Yeah I know life ain’t easy
Man believe me I lose more than I win
Just gotta Roll with the flow and the punches
You might get hit
You’re gonna get back up again
Hard times like to hit when you ain’t ready
You can’t see them coming when you’re looking the other way
Everybody’s out there fighting something
We all get the blues when we’ve still got dues to pay
So just know life ain’t easy
Man believe me you’re gonna lose more than you win
Just gotta Roll with the flow and the punches
You might get hit
You’re gonna get back up again
Yeah I know life ain’t easy
Man believe me I lose more than I win
Just gotta Roll with the flow and the punches
You might get hit
You’re gonna get back up again
You might get hit
You’re gonna get back up again

Well it’s closing time, I’m down to my last dime
You can bet your ass I’m in a world of trouble
If I’d a stuck with beer, I’d been out of here
But the man in the bar room mirror is still drowning doubles
When the hard stuff hits my veins
I’m a puppet on a string
That old 90 proof just won’t let me stop
Drop a needle on that old jukebox
I’ll be a fool on a stool but it ain’t my fault
That’s what happens When Whiskey Whiskey Calls The Shots
When the morning comes, my old lady son
Gonna come undone loud and clear
But it’ll happen again cause every now and then
My old low down no good friend gets in my ear
When the hard stuff hits my veins
I’m a puppet on a string
That old 90 proof just won’t let me stop
Drop a needle on that old jukebox
I’ll be a fool on a stool but it ain’t my fault
That’s what happens When Whiskey Whiskey Calls The Shots
That’s what happens When Whiskey Whiskey Calls The Shots
Yeah I do
That’s what happens When Whiskey Whiskey Calls The Shots
Let’s go one more time
That’s what happens When whiskey calls the shots
I can do this all day
That’s what happens When whiskey calls the shots
