The Wanting
02:57
|
|||
From the mornin’
Through the day
And on through the night
Like the stinging
Or the burning of a slowly turning knife
I ache now just to hold you
Make you feel my love
If only the wanting was enough
I may never live this feeling down
That’s the one sure thing I’ve found
Better lost in love
Than never tried at all
I have found, in this life
There’s are two ways can fall
I wish I could start it over
Wishing don’t mean much
If only the wanting was enough
I may never let this feeling down
That’s the one sure thing I’ve found
I wish I could start over
Wishing don’t mean much
If only the wanting was enough
I may never live this feeling down
That’s the one sure thing I’ve found
I may never live this feeling down
I can’t want you anymore

Same Kind of Crazy as Me
03:48
|
|||
I don’t go to church on Sunday
I don’t go to work on Monday
I sleep until I wake up
Whiskey in my coffee cup
And I take what the good Lord gave
That’s the shovel that digs my grave
I never really had a plan
But everybody knows where I stand
And, in all my friends I see
The same kind of crazy as me
There’s more colors than red and blue
To paint the elephant in the room
We piss and moan about that and this
Always another ass to kiss
But I believe that freedom rings
I believe in the songs we sing
I have a funny way you see
Of what the world might someday be
Why can’t they just let it be
The same kind of crazy as me
There ain’t a single thing we own
We’ll take with us when we’re gone
So I’ll just walk the earth a while
Lend a hand and leave a smile
And who knows how the whole thing ends
You can’t tell me where or when
So I’ll just pray that when I’m done
I meet the Father and the Son, and
If I’m right they’ll be
The same kind of crazy as me
There ain’t a single thing we own
We’ll take with us when we’re gone
So I’ll just walk the earth a while
Lend a hand and leave a smile
And who knows how the whole thing ends
You can’t tell me where or when
So I’ll just pray that when I’m done
I meet the Father and the Son, and
If I’m right they’ll be
The same kind of crazy as me
Same kind of crazy as me
Same kind of crazy as me
Same kind of crazy as me

Backside of thirty came fast, but what’s more
I can’t remember younger days like before and it’s a shame
I’ve done more runnin’ than most any age
Whole lot of prayin’ on the backside of a stage, scared to death
Wondering what’s next
And I take the long way around every time
As fast as I can through the comfort of night and it’s a fight
People who love me they suffer the most
See me on TV and all they see’s a ghost of someone they knew
They’re tellin’ the truth
Never alone always lonely
Easy to find, seldom seen
Never alone always lonely
On a fast train
Through a slow moving dream
Never alone always lonely
Easy to find seldom seen
Never alone always lonely
On a fast train
Through a slow moving dream
Never alone always lonely
Easy to find seldom seen
On a fast train
Through a slow moving dream

Whiskey
03:20
|
|||
I’ve never been the kind to just turn and run
Never lost a battle with a loaded gun
Never been confused about who I am
Or what I think it takes for me to be a man
But lately it’s been hell just trying to get by
Livin’ like I’m livin’ on a borrowed dime
Watchin’ my friends as they’re all having fun
Whiskey won’t you help me make it through this one
Cause I don’t mind
I’ll sit here and keep on grinnin’, drowned my head and keep on livin’,
I don’t mind
Guess I’ll drink another bottle and drown another sorrow
I don’t mind
I can’t wait another minute, won’t you help me to forget it again
Well tonight’s been slower than it’s ever been
Staring at the clock at closing time again
The bartender tells me it’s time to go
Got a bottle of the venom waiting back at home
Come tomorrow I’ll probably buy some more
Black Label Even Williams from the liquor store
Back to the bar until my drinkins done
Whiskey won’t you help me make it through this one
Cause I don’t mind
I’ll sit here and keep on grinnin’, drowned my head and keep on livin’,
I don’t mind
Guess I’ll drink another bottle and drown another sorrow
I don’t mind
I can’t wait another minute, won’t you help me to forget it again
Cause I don’t mind
I’ll sit here and keep on grinnin’, drowned my head and keep on livin’,
I don’t mind
Guess I’ll drink another bottle and drown another sorrow
I don’t mind
I can’t wait another minute, won’t you help me to forget it again

Bastrop you don’t grow up, you just get raised
On Hellfire and Brimstone and Amazing Grace
The smell of stills and paper mills, you never quite escape
But I got away
I swore that I’d be done by 21
Staring down the wrong end of a gun
I’ve drank myself ungrateful and I found myself unwise
But I’m still alive
I’m still alive
And I have learned the hard way lessons
And I have made my own mistakes
I’ve drove headlong down some dead end roads, no honest man should take
But I’ve never been afraid to spread broken wings in skies
Where even angels fear to fly
Where even angels fear to fly
So damn sure of what I could not know
Knew too damn well of what wasn’t really so
I don’t conjure memories now, it’s best I just forget
So I’ve laid to rest
My regrets
I learned the hard way, the lessons
I have made my own mistakes
Drove headlong down some dead ends, no honest man should take
But I’ve never been afraid to spread broken wings in skies
Where angels fear to fly
And I have learned the hard way lessons
And I have made my own mistakes
I’ve drove headlong down some dead end roads, no honest man should take
But I’ve never been afraid to spread broken wings in skies
Where even angels fear to fly
Where even angels fear to fly

Which One I Feed
03:39
|
|||
I am the river that flows through my veins
I am the black crow, I’m wings of change
I am the rock that the rain couldn’t conquer
I’m above, I’m below, I am hell and high water
I’ve been the song carried in on the breeze
I’ve wept with willows and I’ve fell with the leaves
I am the badlands and the silence it holds
A warrior who walks but is never alone
There’s a black and a white wolf in me
And I live and I die
By which one I feed
It’s a war old as time, this fighting inside
And I live and I die,
By which one I feed
I am the hunted and I am the hunter
I am the feast and the famine, the hunger
I am the eagle screaming for peace
While the beasts on the inside sharpen their teeth
There’s a black and a white wolf in me
And I live and I die
By which one I feed
It’s a war old as time, this fighting inside
And I live and I die,
By which one I feed
There’s a black and a white wolf in me
And I live and I die
By which one I feed
It’s a war old as time, this fighting inside
And I live and I die,
By which one I feed
Which one I feed
I am the river that flows through my veins
I am the black crow, I’m wings of change

I need a bite of something sweet
I need a day like they used to be
Need to see all my old friends, so we can start again
I need a bite of something sweet
I need a drink Lord, from that cup
I need something to fill me up
When the cards have all been shown
It’s time that I go home
I need a drink Lord, from that cup
I need to lie down and rest for a while
I need a sunny day, but clouds are more my style
My soul hungers for more than I can eat
Give me a new day and a bite of something sweet
I need to lie down and rest for a while
I need a sunny day, but clouds are more my style
My soul hungers for more than I can eat
Give me a new day and a bite of something sweet
Give me a new day and a bite of something sweet

The Plea
03:59
|

Mama, this highways gonna kill me
And mama, I think my rose is wilting
The kids and her alone while I’m so far from home
I feel so guilty
Mama, this highways gonna kill me
I hope the road that takes me there will always bring me back
But I guess whatever will be, will be
Mama this highways gonna kill me
Woman, I wish I couldn’t hurt you
And woman, It’s clear I don’t deserve you
I know it seems I only need you when I ain’t got nowhere else to turn too
So woman, I wish I wouldn’t hurt you
I’m sure there’s some relief in giving up and moving on
And sometimes it seems way too much to work through
Woman I never meant to hurt you
Lord, I beg of you protect me
Cause lately, swear the devil’s out to get me
It ain’t a leap of faith to say he always prays upon the unsuspecting
So Lord, I beg of you protect me
I can’t walk with you if the devil got my hand
I hope you have my back and direct me
Jesus I beg of you protect me
Jesus, don’t let’em get me

She can’t do this, anymore
She bought a ticket west and left me staring down the storm
Now I’m sittin’ here, all alone
In an empty house that used to be a happy home
She said she needed sunshine
She had enough of clouds
I knew it wouldn’t take too long, for her to figure out.
It don’t rain in California
You won’t see a single storm cloud in the sky
It’s always clear, so there won’t be any tears
Leave you standin’ in the downpour trying to hide
It don’t rain in California, like it’s raining here tonight
I can’t do this, anymore
I hopped a plane and I found my way to the California shore
Now we sittin’ here, all alone
You knew that I was comin’, you sounded happy on the phone
I knew you needed sunshine,
It seems I brought the clouds
The thunder and the lightning seem to follow me around
It don’t rain in California
You won’t see a single storm cloud in the sky
It’s always clear, so there won’t be any tears
Leave you standin’ in the downpour trying to hide
It don’t rain in California, like it’s raining here tonight
It don’t rain in California, like it’s raining here tonight

Wounded Mind
04:04
|
|||
I feel their eyes upon me, as I walk across the room
I can hear em’ all whispering my name
So I tuck in my shoulders and hide the best I can
It all happened so fast I can’t explain
But if I had to
I’d tell em’ all I really ain’t that special
And I’d cry and yell leave me the hell alone
And I hate it that I have to try to be cool all the time
I’m just a guy, with a wounded mind
I put on my costume and I put on a show
The only way a jester stays alive
All they see is glitter and all they hear are rhymes
If I could find a new way to survive
I’d be glad to
Tell em’ all I really ain’t that special
And I’d cry and yell leave me the hell alone
And I hate it that I have to try to be cool all the time
I’m just a guy, with a wounded mind
And I hate it that I have to try to be cool all the time
I’m just a guy, with a wounded mind
And I’d tell em’ all I really ain’t that special
And I’d cry and yell leave me the hell alone
And I hate it that I have to try to be cool all the time
I’m just a guy, with a wounded mind

Ramble
03:44
|
|||
Ramble, when this world gives you more than you can handle
You get on those two wheels and you fly to outer space
Like your in a one man race
Never thinking about tomorrow, you beg, steal, you borrow
And you gamble, you gamble with your love like you don’t need it
And when it’s said and done you’ll be alone out on the road
Shaking off the cold
No one to keep you warm, I guess you were born to ramble
Freedom, you say all you ever wanted was your freedom
But is it worth the cost of never calling one place home
Always going, going, gone
Nowhere to rest your bones, but you keep on believing
Believing in some kind of magic potion
The one that makes you feel like you ain’t never gonna die
The one that makes you cry
Then leaves you in that haze, I guess you will always ramble
Ramble, when this world gives you more than you can handle
You get on those two wheels and go back to outer space
Win that one man race
Don’t worry bout tomorrow, out run your sorrows and ramble

Raven and the Dove
03:23
|
|||
I have prayed for wisdom, now I pray for peace
It seems the more I know now, the less that I can sleep
Stay imprisoned in my conscience, trying to figure what it means
To be caught between a nightmare and the sweetest of dreams
Some days a raven, some days a dove
Some days the dark cloud hanging round
Others from the light above
I’m scuffed by the devil, but I’m washed up in the blood
Some days a raven, some days a dove
You may question how I’m living, it might scare you half to death
I’ve been forgive for my sinning, Lord knows I ain’t through sinning yet
I get my singing from my mama, I get the fight from my old man
I don’t always know where I’m going, but I know exactly what I am
Some days a raven, some days a dove
Some days the dark cloud hanging round
Others from the light above
I’m scuffed by the devil, but I’m washed up in the blood
Some days a raven, some days a dove
Some days a raven, some days a dove
Some days the dark cloud hanging round
Others from the light above
I’m scuffed by the devil, but I’m washed up in the blood
Some days a raven, some days a dove
Some days a raven, some days a dove
