Take Me
06:09
|
|||
You could ask me again
But I’m not ok
Eyes have grown cold
I’ve nothing to say
Strong drink in my left
Blues harp in my right
Touch both to my lips
But it still ain’t right
Feel surrounded by death
Don’t miss a step
Keep a head on your shoulders boy
You may be next
Death doesn’t wait
He’ll hunt you down
He wants us all
Deep, deep underground
Oh death
Why did it have to be us?
Can’t you see?
We’ve been through enough
Oh death
Just let them be
Leave them alone
Take me, take me
(Chorus) x2
Take Me
Take Me
Take Me
Oh Take Me
Take me down
Far down below
Take me to the Devil
Where there’s nowhere to go
Hey Devil
Hey look at me
Look in my eyes
Devil can’t you see?
Look in my eyes
Don’t look away
Oh Mr. Devil won’t you
Take me, take me
Take my heart
Oh take my soul
It can be yours
I won’t need it no more
CHORUS
Oh take it Mister
Leave me to rot
Take it all
Take all I’ve got
For I’m a man
Who’s lost a lot
Lost my Father
I’m left with naught
Oh Devil
I said, hey look at me
I’m the one you want
Take me, take me
I am but young
Many years left
Take my life
Take my beating chest
Take my Joy
Take my Love
Take my whole world
I’ve had enough.

Dig Your Hole
03:25
|
|||
Diggin a hole
Deep beneath the snow
Where the dead all go
Where they stay
Rattling bone
Caw of the crow
Is where you’ll go
We all go
Chorus
So dig your hole
Check for rocks
Dig your hole
Build your box
Well you ride the hearse
Best get your ticket first
Or you’ll be dragged
Through the snow
And where you go
There’ll be snow
Cuz it burns like hell
In the fire
chorus
Got a wife at home
And she won’t go
Cuz she don’t know
Where you been
Cuz you been around
Ya you been around
Didn’t kiss no ground
At her feet
You were down the street
Oh ya down the street
And now you’ll meet
the Devil
chorus x2

A Dozen Roses
03:11
|
|||
Well I bought her a dozen roses
On the night she left home
Now I just sit here lonesome
And she’s free to roam
But if I had one shot to tell her
Just how I feel
It wouldn’t matter, her minds made up
Guess I’ll miss me another meal
The wells dried up, the windows shut
There’s ghosts in the halls
And even though I took all her photos down
She still haunts my walls
And no amount of spirits
Can quench my thirst
The clock is slowly ticking
As I wait for my hearse
She came in once while I was out
Drowning my sins
She packed and took up everything
All her little things
She left just one trinket
On the stand by the bed
The golden ring I bought for her
My old heart it bled
CHORUS
So if your woman tries to leave you
Don’t let her my friend
Hold onto her tightly
Never let it end
Cuz life without her
Just don’t make sense
Don’t let your glass
Fill up with regret

The Runaround
03:37
|
|||
Well you runnin down the street
Tryin keep to yourself
There’s a Sheriff on your trail
Wants to put you on the shelf
You got your new shoes on
Goin fast as they can go
Stole em from a man
When it was 44 below
Bridge
Sometimes gotta slow it down
And start taking a look around
See if those roses our smellin are red
At least that’s what the old man said… but he’s dead
Chorus
The Run Around (x4)
Verse
So you still don’t stop
Quick steal a car
There’s a factory downtown
And it’s not that far
They’re right on your ass
Nowhere to turn
Parked it through the wall
Building starts to burn
Bridge
Chorus
Runaround (x4)
So you bail from the car
Find a vantage point
Got no weapon
But you ain’t goin to the joint
A man comes in
With his gun withdrew
You know more are comin
Lotsa boys in blue
Hook
Chorus
Bridge
Now they’ll lock you up to stay
And you’ll be waiting day after day
But there ain’t no place to look
Shoulda took a page from the old mans book

Miles Apart
03:21
|
|||
She waits all night
And she waits all day
For him to come home
But he doesn’t cuz he can’t
Chorus
And she loves him, unconditionally
She says “ he knows ya, just what he means to me
We’re in love, and that’s real
And that’s the way ya, we’ll both always feel
We both loved, in the past
We’ve both had, had our hearts smashed
Seen deceit, lies
Vacancy, in anothers eyes.
And now its just us against the world
Miles Apart ya, he knows I’m his girl.
He makes the drive, when he can
We share that passion, me and my man.”
Chorus
And he loves her, unconditionally
Says she knows ya, just what she means to me
We’re in love and that’s real
And that’s the way ya we’ll aways feel

Eyes That Swirl
02:40
|
|||
Eyes on the curb
He misses the girl
With the eyes that swirl
And looks that kill
If he’d only known
The beauty before him
That girl that walked by
Would take his life
Woah he’s gotta look around
And keep his feet on solid ground
Keep both eyes in the air
And he’ll see
He turned around
His jaw hit the ground
Her eyes he found
And thought what a thrill
If he had known
She was no poor mans girl
She’d take his whole world
If she could
And ask him she did
She passed him the pen
His greatest sin
Was Love on a lease
Oh yes Love on a lease
It’ll break a poor man’s teeth
It’ll snap ‘em right off
Well you’ll see

Spirits Rest
05:37
|
|||
Ever present, never clear
At times fluorescent, never really here.
Sometimes down, never out
She holds the Faith, she is devout.
Flies at night, plays safe at day
Sometimes childish, never frayed.
She works real hard, but she’s no slave
A love like this just can’t decay,
Chorus
Trust in me and you will see
The planets line, and in the sea
Beautiful angels, no not dead
Alive and well with spirits rest
She runs her mouth from time to time
But without her no sun would shine.
Beautiful aquatic, fortress strong
Mountain high, Valley long.
Knife in the dark, to your heart
Warm blast of wind derails with her mark
Unsurveyed waters we have no charts
The same could be said of our hearts
Chorus
Do you remember
When you were young
Nothing seemed to matter
Life was so fun
You had a vision
She’d be your wife
That false promise
Has haunted your whole life
(New Chorus)
Didn’t it feel so good?
Feel just like it should
Waking up next to her
Didn’t the world feel so secure?
Now your hearts hollow
Riddled with pain
Bullets through it’s shattered glass
The source of your disdain
The pieces fall broken
You dare not say her name
The scarlet who left you
Crippled, bound in chains
(New Chorus)
Didn’t it feel so good?
Feel just like it should
When you were lying right next to her
Didn’t your world feel so secure?
When a woman turns
It’s always for the worse
That red lipstick
Fades from pleasure to curse
So now you tighten your boot straps
Whiskey won’t cure the thirst
Your suit is starched, your hair is combed
Time for your second birth.
(New Chorus)

Collar Down
05:54
|
|||
Run down, dirty town
Dog on a leash with his collar down
Chorus
Whoa o Whoa o Whoa o o
Empty pockets of a thin suit
Feet know the way back to his coop
Works hard every day, needs a break
But needs the pays
Chorus
Life sometimes turns upside down
Life sometimes goes round and round.
All you can ask for is happiness
Just wish it worked for all of us
Whoa o Whoa o Whoa o o
Bought a gun just the other day
Thought about taking a life away
But who’s to take? How own or theirs
If it was his, well would they care
Chorus
When he was young he remembers well
The stories that his Dad would tell
Tales of Love and tales of Hope
Seems they’ve all gone up in smoke
Now back here and now
Gun in his mouth no tale to tell
Pull the trigger? Yes or no?
Tears of rage start falling slow
Chorus
Guns out, he’s on his feet
They know the way down this dirty street
Opens the door, walks right in
Bullet sounds ring within.
Wake up, what a dream
Dreary eyes but his mind still screams
Da Da Da Da

Wayfaring Stranger
04:11
|
|||
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelling through this world alone
There is no sickness toil, nor danger
In that fair land to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
And all my loved ones who've gone home
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
I know dark clouds will hover over me
I know my path is rough and steep
But golden fields lay out before me
Where weary eyes no more will weep
I'm going home to see my mother
I'm going home, no more to roam
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
I'll soon be free from every trial
This form shall rest beneath the sod
I'll drop the cross of self denial
Where God's redeemed their vigles keep
I'm going home to see my savior
Who's spilled his precious blood for me
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home (x3)

Heart Half Mast
03:59
|
|||
If you go to sleep
With a feather in your hand
Would you wake up in a dream
Miles above the land.
With wings on your back
And the eyes of ghost
Flyin to the Heavens
High up to meet your host.
Fly birdie fly
Fly, And don’t come back
It’s a long way down
And then there’s nothin but black
For if you fall
A grave you will see
Upon it be a man
Down upon one knee
Tears in his eyes
Dressed in black
Thorns in his head
And rain on his back
A fatherless son
With a treacherous past
A deep bleak future
And a heart half mast
Nothing on his face
But the man wears a mask
Nothing in his future
And demons in his past
Fly angel fly
Fly and don’t come back
It’s a long way to Heaven
Then there’s nothing but black.
