So Much Runnin' 02:41
lyrics
buy track
Peace of mind it may be free But you sure like to spend Spend your lives up in tall buildings Right next to heaven Fill your glass until it’s full Till it’s over flowing The drink got drunk as the drinker got drunk And the thinker never got a word in So Much Runnin’ Just to try and get ahead But when you die they find replacements Before the grass grows back again So much Runnin’ Go ahead and try to sleep You lay awake to face reality It brings you right back to your knees Grew up big you grew up tall Grew up just to win Only out to help yourself And fighting to no end You went out to quench that thirst Walked right in to town The good people there led you to water But they didn’t think you would drown So Much Runnin’ Just to try and get ahead But when you die they find replacements Before the grass grows back again So much Runnin’ Go ahead and try to sleep You lay awake to face reality It brings you right back to your knees

No More Close to Heaven 02:45
lyrics
buy track
No More Close to Heaven Call my name with lovin’ eyes Call it in disdain Well it’s still good to be called After all this time away Trace my tracks to see your face And worn out my shoes And I’m no more close to heaven Just closer to you And I hold on Hold on Hold on Hold on All these paths that intertwine All that divide Well life is much more simple than that Try as we might If I had a single wish I tell ya what I’d do Well I’d pull the rug out from the world ‘Cause it never quite tied the room And I hold on Hold on Hold on Hold on You could have been a scholar Just to travel through time Use books of words like parachutes To drop you down a line But you just climbed a ladder Of silver and gold And you’re no more close to heaven Just a little bit more old And I hold on Hold on Hold on Hold on

Southern Intentions 03:01
lyrics

Southern Intentions Sittin’ wishin’ we were kissin’ each other You always liked it when I called you southern Soft drawl at the ballroom dance Nothin’ wrong with a little romance Whatcha say you wanna be my lady Don’t be just feedin’ me maybes You’re the girl with long black hair Whatcha doin’ way over there Don’t you know our love’s been runnin’ But still I know what’s good Holdin’ out your hand You say love’s blind But ya know what’s comin’ Tongue whips like the kick of a shotgun Spittin’ words like a fire breathin’ dragon What happened to the days of the past I guess all good things never do last Pick apart every line that I told ya Pick a heart for the demolition crew to Go and do what they do best Leave me there dyin’ with all the rest Don’t you know our love’s been runnin’ But still I know what’s good Holdin’ out your hand You say love’s blind But ya know what’s comin’ Here you come with arms wide open You always knew how to mend what’s broken Take back every lie that you told I said I ain’t buying but it’s already sold Don’t you know our love’s been runnin’ But still I know what’s good Holdin’ out your hand Pull me in just like quicksand And the more I try to fight it The more I sink in Holdin’ out your hand You say love’s blind But ya know what’s comin’

On With the News There’s a big ol’ tree in the middle of the yard The tire swing ain’t swung since March And bigger scenes never seem To star me Boo Hoo La da da da da da da da La da da da da da da da La da da da da da da da Ah Problem is that we’re all just kids In a world that is far too big Mama loved you and always did But you can’t help but boo hoo On with the news Everyone’s everyone’s friend At least that’s how we pretend You don’t trust one another, you’re lover Or even the one under your skin La da da da da da da da La da da da da da da da La da da da da da da da Ah Problem is that we’re all just kids In a world that is far too big Mama loved you and always did But you can’t help but boo hoo On with the news Makin’ the most with the coast I’m given That’s what they said when they heard I’m leavin’ Makin’ the most with the coast I’m given That’s what they said when they heard I’m leavin’ Problem is that we’re all just kids In a world that is far too big Mama loved you and always did But you can’t help but boo hoo On with the news La da da da da da da da La da da da da da da da La da da da da da da da Ah La da da da da da da da La da da da da da da da La da da da da da da da Ah

You've Got Me 03:02

Lyin’ in awe at the Milky Way Drippin’ from the sky as as twilight drains Jackson Pollock must’ve painted this night Everything’s splattered yet everything’s right You’ve got me You’ve got me You’ve got me And I’ve got you You’ve got me You’ve got me You’ve got me For life Give a man an inch and he’ll take your heart Give a woman love and she’ll tear it apart There don’t seem to be many winners in the game Call me stupid but I still wanna play You’ve got me You’ve got me You’ve got me And I’ve got you You’ve got me You’ve got me You’ve got me For life Dosey doe on the Fourth of July Underneath the crack of fire up high We’re in bloom there goes another boom Thinkin’ of your name when I hear this tune You’ve got me You’ve got me You’ve got me And I’ve got you You’ve got me You’ve got me You’ve got me For life Remember that time that we walked into town You played the fool and I was the clown Dancin’ and singin’ and makin’ our rounds All night We sang every song that there was to be sung Rang every bell there was to be rung A four letter word on the tip of my tongue ‘Cause you’re mine You’ve got me You’ve got me You’ve got me And I’ve got you You’ve got me You’ve got me You’ve got me For life

Pour My Drink Pour my drink a bit taller than the last The glass half empty stuck at half mast You know me I’m a pessimist at best One step two step get in line Drinkin’ from the back seat another good night You know me I’m the criminal type I stay here and raise hell well It’s all the same And I cross lines too many times and Only I am to blame I stay here and raise hell well It’s all the same And the people talk and walk in circles Just to stay sane Thinkin’ on back to the times you tried Tellin’ me another one of your lies I needed your advice like a needle in the eye Pour my drink a bit taller than the last The glass half empty stuck at half mast You know me I’m a pessimist at best I stay here and raise hell well It’s all the same And I cross lines too many times and Only I am to blame I stay here and raise hell well It’s all the same And the people talk and walk in circles Just to stay sane I stay here and raise hell well It’s all the same And I cross lines too many times and Only I am to blame I stay here and raise hell well It’s all the same And the people talk and walk in circles Just to stay sane

Art Collection Oh yes I bought a hand And the other hand Oh yes I got the stands For displayin’ hands If anybody in this world will ever get it right Well it’ll be you and me in the red tonight It’s an art collection ‘Cause it’s an art collection Now check the recipe I believe the next are knees Placed above the feet Just add integral beams If anybody in this world will ever get it right Well it’ll be you and me in the red tonight It’s an art collection ‘Cause it’s an art collection Unload the shopping cart Just look at all the parts Who knows where to start Maybe we’ll try the heart The body’s almost whole Top it with the skull Now don’t forget the soul ‘Cause it’s an art If anybody in this world will ever get it right Well it’ll be you and me in the red tonight It’s an art collection ‘Cause it’s an art collection

Birds Hold on to what you know and a sweetie pie I’ma let it go and bonafy the sky With the birds on the highway “Cause you’ve always heard me say that I don’t want to ever feel like I’m forever I’ve been sleepin’ I’ve been sleepin’ Away all Day Why don’t you lay me down on a bed of hay On the tallest limb where the tree will sway Laughin’ down at the people With a lookin’ glass and the glass half full Lower lives like to lie low My my my my there’s more to show For example I love you There ain't nothin to lose except the view I don’t want to ever feel like I’m forever I’ve been sleepin’ away Hold me with your wings But I cant repeat Any one day in the last ten years That’s okay I’ve been sleepin’ I’ve been sleepin’ I don’t want to ever feel like I’m forever I’ve been sleepin’ I’ve been sleepin’ I’ve been sleepin’ I’ve been sleepin’ Away all day

‘Cause it’s all of me and a box of wine What you see is what you get All of me and a box of wine What you see is what you got My me and a box of wine Take two two two this time And a box of wine What you see is what you get Catchin’ letters and rollin’ out of bed Tap of a ball and chain right behind my steps Poultry cookin’ but shit we’re out of bread Pray for a place to stay and a fresh rolled cigarette ‘Cause it’s all of me and a box of wine What you see is what you get All of me and a box of wine What you see is what you got My me and a box of wine Take two two two this time And a box of wine What you see is what you get Flee with a metro ticket wrinkled in his hand Snatched from a perfect object reduced to a man Face in a puddle but his head is in the sand Back from the dead he said but now with new demands ‘Cause it’s all of me and a box of wine What you see is what you get All of me and a box of wine What you see is what you got My me and a box of wine Take two two two this time And a box of wine What you see is what you get What you see is what you get What you see is what you get ‘Cause it’s all of me and a box of wine What you see is what you get All of me and a box of wine What you see is what you got My me and a box of wine Take two two two this time And a box of wine What you see is what you get
