I decided to live forever
Or die trying
As long as I held you
In my arms close you’d stay
At peace with the world
And the love inside you dying
One more dance you’d say
The devil comes today
Only in your life
Do you find peace and quiet
When I’m not around
Around to make you pay
And all you ever wanted
Was life beyond the lies
My thoughts drift away
To you and me someday
When you were alone
The world seemed so quiet
Now your in my arms
And the drums begin to play
The old man in the rain
Stands wrecked beside his bottle
His crutch is whiskey pain
To him it’s all the same
You felt for a long time
The peace inside you dying
You felt a long time
The roaring in your veins
And I felt a long time
I don’t want to take you down
Well I made you play the game
But you are not to blame

Daylight
No one
Sittin’ with a gun
And I’m broke down
Breaking
Breaking in the sun
Hold tight, Virginia
A mile from our home
And it’s Comstock to Norfolk
Mile from our home
Prison held me
Held me through the years
And I’m sorry to you
For the lies and for the tears
How’s our little one
How’s our precious son
Does he call your man daddy
Does he see him as the one
[Chorus]
I am too small
For you now
I am too small
For you now
Will I find you
Home and not alone
As a new train rides in
On the broken backs of bone
Take my memories
Throw them in the road
Yesterday’s memories
Are tomorrow’s heavy load
[Repeat Chorus]
I am too small
For you in your world
I am too small
For you now

[Chorus]
Hey
Have you seen
A very ugly girl
Well, I’m with her
Hey
Do you know me
Well, I’m kind of white
I’m kind of bitter
I’m really just kind of misunderstood
I love your sister but
I know she’d never treat me good
[Repeat Chorus]
Well we danced in the moonlight
When she told me goodbye
Such an evil mind
Oh yeah
And the world just spits on you like a dog
And if you want something from it
You better hold on to that hog
[Repeat Chorus]
And the world just spits on you like a dog
If you want something from it
You better hold on to that hog
[Repeat Chorus]

She said, “Show me your tattoo.”
She said, “Show me what you want to.”
She laid there naked in the snow
Her breath like cannon smoke
I’m weary in the dawn
I’ve been weary all day long
Your orange coat and slippers on the floor
Were you drunk when you bought them
These girls these days
They wake up and get away
And I can’t find a way to stop them
[Chorus]
But if you show her your tattoo
She just might love you
I bought it and I put it on
They said it wouldn’t peel
I bought it from a gumball machine
I hope she thinks it’s real
In my car we’ll drive real far
Headlights bleeding on the road
I’m choking on her cigarette tar
She really is disgusting
[Repeat Chorus]

Hey Now

Well I guess I’m wrong too much
To be true
The devil breaks your heart
But I lie to you
I guess I’m wrong too much
My heart’s in stone
Please let me go
Just let me
[Chorus]
Hey now, hey now
What you gonna do, I’m so broken
Hey now, hey now
What you gonna do, I’m so broken
Hey now, hey now
What you gonna do, I’m broken down tonight
Yeah
Oh, I’m broken down tonight
Well a drunken beggar cries
And here I’ve lost him with the lies
That I told forever
The river wilds its way close to me
The candle burns back the day to a dream
Oh, and I could stay for good
And you would never know
But I must go
Just let me
[Repeat Chorus]

Cold Rain

|

Cold rain falling
All is dark, but storming
Trees split, they scream and crack
The thunder’s wail breaks their back
And the cats all hide in mother’s barn
And the sleeping ghosts can do harm
But, baby, I was your lover
Baby, I was your song
Please don’t find another
It’s just I’ve loved you so long
You run out to the night
Soaked in the rain
With your dress white
And you fall to your knees and moan
You’re only screaming when you’re alone
All that glass you held in your hand
Tight as you did, well, I don’t understand
And you let it fall to the cliffs down below
And I watched it shatter and I watched you go
But, baby, I was your lover
I held you closer than me
But I still don’t remember
How to lose what I can’t even see
Baby, I was your lover
Baby, I was your song
And before you meet another
It was I loved you so long

Secrets

When did you fall
I never noticed at all
I never thought you done me wrong
Oh the thunder on the bay
When you’re walking away
And the ships all come to call
Your name
[Chorus]
But I’m pretty sure
That your secrets are unkind
This boy on the shore is losing his mind
You’ve known this before
And I’ve passed out blind
Trying to survive
But falling anyway
I never cared for you much
Until you did decide
To hold me when you cried
All the pain that I stole
Deep in your soul
I took it into mine
That’s where it hides
[Repeat Chorus]
[Repeat Chorus]
