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. CHORUS outro

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
3.
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
4.
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
7.
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
8.
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

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)
11.
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.
