A Way to Say Goodbye

On my way home I found a new direction, on my way home I left my past behind
It's a curious thing the way a mind can travel, it's a curious thing to travel in your mind
The first time I got high I got in trouble, the first time you found trouble you were high
There's a lot to say about the human spirit, there's a song about a spirit in the sky
I can't say if all of my philosophies are true
You can't say for sure that they're a lie
I have never been much for the company of strangers
You can't find a way to say goodbye
The choice is our to work away our lifetime or make our work to live as best we can
Go out and find that diamond in the shadows, help the world around you understand

No One to Turn To
04:50

The fire's burning but I can't feel the heat
The heart is pouring words I cannot repeat
I feel alone, there ain't no one to turn to
The night is quiet but I still hear the sound
My mind is chasing all these questions around
I'm just a fool, there ain't no one to turn to
No matter where I run it seems like there ain't no one to turn to
No shadow, no doubt
No way in and no way out
No memory, no embrace
Nothing left behind, not even the taste of
Cold coffee left on the shelf
Every image that I had of myself
I feel alone, there ain't no one to turn to
No matter where I run, it seems like there ain't no one to turn to

Burn
04:06

There ain't one single choice that I regret
And none of my mistakes have caught me yet
Don't wait around for life to pull you down
We got a long way to go if we're freedom-bound
Let it burn, oh Lord, let that fire burn
I've run this race called life without a care
Without a dream, a hope, a goal, a prayer
It ain't the best way, but it's what I've got
No use in spending time on what I'm not
Let it burn, oh Lord, let that fire burn

Cheap Motels

I spend most of my nights in a cheap motel with a bottle and a .45
Tracing back time to where it all went down, that moment when I ruined my life
I broke the law boys, I broke the law boys
I spend most of my night in cheap motels dreaming of the warmth of the holy South
I'll have to die 'fore I can get back home and lay my body in the cold hard ground
I broke the law boy, I broke the law boys
Now I'm ready to fly, now I'm ready to fly
Put the pedal to the floor and head for the border, I'm ready to fly
There's a teenage mother in 13C trying to save her baby from a broken life
She shot his dirtbag daddy down in cold blood and let her home to be here tonight
She broke the law boys, she broke the law boys
There's a coked out waiter in 14B who just got off a double to cover his high
His time is getting shorter as the lines grow longer, but he's ready for that long goodbye
He broke the law boys, he broke the law boys

Well, have you heard the word about scrambled eggs?
Have you heard the word about scrambled eggs?
Well, the Beatles called it Yesterday, but I say there's a better way
Have you heard the word about scrambled eggs?
Well, there ain't no basement at the Alamo
There ain't no basement at the Alamo
You can circle round and round, but you never will go underground
'Cause there ain't no basement at the Alamo
Well some things in this life they don't seem clear
Find your way back home from there to here
If you can't stand the heat, get out of the shade
Chewing on a glass of lemonade
Take Highway 44 back to the fool
Take Highway 44 back to the fool
Well, if you try to burn the rain you'll wind up on that midnight train
Take Highway 44 back to the fool
Well, have you heard the word about scrambled eggs?
Have you heard the word about scrambled eggs?
Well, the Beatles called it Yesterday, but I say there's a better way
Have you heard the word about scrambled eggs?

It felt like heaven there with her tonight, but something told me she wasn't feeling right
Trying to find a good time, maybe if I could
And if her love couldn't do it, I knew the whiskey would
You know I've never been the worried kind, and never thought too much about what I've left behind
In between the bad times and the good
If my mind can't do it, I know the whiskey would
Everybody's talking 'bout the golden age, but people struggle to make minimum wage
Hard times are falling on my neighborhood
And if the money can't do it, they know the whiskey would

Asleep at the Wheel
03:48
|

|
There's danger up ahead, and memories back behind
I've had too much to drink and too much to think about tonight
The place I've never been and the place I ought to be
Don't pay me no mind as long as you're here in the passenger's seat
And I am asleep at the wheel
Trying hard not to feel all the twists and turns
And you are the pilot I need
To keep track of the breeze and make sure that I learn enough
Jesus said to me, "be mine and you'll be free"
Then he flashed me a smile and I walked for awhile to find out what he means
And I saw you watch the sky, and I watched you give your life
To some guy who just gave me a light at the corner of Main Street
If life is a dream then we'll find what it means in the end

Stalemate

The battle scars they keep on growing
Black eyes and bent and broken hearts
There ain't much left to hang our hopes on
It feels like we quit before the start
It's been years since we started this whole game
And baby, let's call it a tie
'Cause if we keep on trying to one up one another
We might as well keep playing until we die
Let's not pretend that this can't happen
True love is fragile, yes it's true
But if I have to watch this so-called sinking ship
I'm glad I get to watch it sink with you
Years will pass and we'll get older
We'll live our lives the way we do
So let's not forget the lessons learned here
Love ain't love unless there's proof

Lonely Days
03:23
|

Wasting away on a cold rainy day in my humble abode by the sea
And the creatures they stir as the water it purrs in the cold of the sweet morning breeze
And my eyes want to close and succumb to the thousand s of dreams that await in my mind
But there's work to be done if only the sun would come out and shine for awhile
Lonely day, nobody comes around no more
And I'm amazed that the hands of the clock can move so slow
Trees are my shade and my castle is laid right beneath to protect me from harm
But now as it seems Mother Nature don't mean to make trouble for me anymore
The townsfolk go past moving steady and fast to return while they still have the chance
The go back to their homes and I'm left here alone
Lonely day, nobody comes around no more
And I'm amazed that the hands of the clock can move so slow

Tell It to Me

Tell me little mama have you heard what the boss man said?
You better get your act together or you just might wind up dead
You gotta pay your bills by Monday, keep your children fed
There's no time a-wasting better get that through your head
Tell me little mama have you heard what the boss man said?
Hey there brother, tell me have you heard the news?
It seems that life is blowing past you and there ain't much left to choose
You spend all your time and money chasing smokes, cars, women, and booze
Then bitch about it later when you see how much you lose
Hey there brother tell me that you've heard the news
Everybody's talking but no one says a goddamn thing
Put the politics aside and we'll see what kind of change we can bring
If your money's where your mouth is there's no reason we can't make it swing
Forget about the past and we'll try to make the future king
Well everybody's talking but no one seems to say a thing
Well help me now mama, tell me where the time has gone
I'm sick of sitting still I just want to be moving on
Have something worth sharing when it's all said and done
Then leave it all behind me like a bullet from a gun
Tell me now mama where my precious time has gone
