Don’t you Wake up early in the evening Don’t you Put your ashes in the sink _ Don’t you see that I can’t break it Take some time and learn to shake it Don’t you Don’t you _ Won’t you Let the cold moon light my door Won’t you Put the rhythm on the floor _ Won’t you chain me to my bed So I can kick what’s in my head Won’t you Don’t You _ Don’t you Feel any pain Don’t you Laugh in the rain Don’t you hear the words I’m saying Won’t you sing the song I’m playing Don’t you Don’t you _ Don’t you hear the words I’m saying Won’t you sing the song I’m playing Don’t you hear the words I’m saying Won’t you sing the song I’m playing Don’t you Don’t you Don’t you Don’t you
2.	Like Your Brother 03:28	lyrics	buy track
Little traits that make you, you Are like the glue That makes us the same We didn’t ask or choose Stings like a bruise That we’re in it together Pick me up when I’m falling down We could own this town And live it forever _ Nobody knows you Like your brother Like your brother Nobody knows you Like your brother Like your brother _ We use to play in the poison ivy Just to come out hivy Mother called us in We’d explore the kitchen floor Just to find our way Introduced in pair As far back as we could care Or even remember _ Nobody knows you Like your brother Like your brother Nobody knows you Like your brother Like your brother _ Nobody knows you Like your brother Like your brother Nobody knows you Like your brother Like your brother Nobody knows you Like your brother Like your brother Nobody knows you Like your brother Like your brother
3.	Golden State 03:46	lyrics	buy track
There’s no water in this canteen Can’t remember when my flat tops didn’t have these holes It’s coming on November Soon it’ll be December And I might as well be sleeping on the north pole _ So lets pretend we’re in the Golden State That our eyes are open and it’s never too late Watching the palm trees blow in the wind of Santa Ana Break it down Turn it around Take me today _ We could get lost on the pacific coast Hideaway in a high desert saloon Get lost in the sunset city Til’ out faces were dirty and gritty And we’re never going back to where we came from _ So lets pretend we’re in the Golden State That our eyes are open and it’s never too late Watching the palm trees blow in the wind of Santa Ana Break it down Turn it around Take me today Break it down Turn it around Take me today _ I was hoping you’d want to ride away with me Never been much for new places on my own Instincts in the right direction And the interstate bares our reflection And there’s nothing left to do but run away _ So lets pretend we’re in the Golden State That our eyes are open and it’s never too late Watching the palm tree blow in the wind of Santa Ana Break it down Turn it around Take me today Break it down Turn it around Take me today Break it down Turn it around Take me today
4.	BB Guns And Dirt Bikes 03:39	lyrics	buy track
We were ridin’ out With heads in the sky We were ten and twelve and thirteen We got BB guns and dirt bikes And heads full of crowded dreams We always won In the hot suburban sun We were kings of the west side track These new kids over cross Slater Street Comin’ on like a heart attack [Chorus] Mama says Where are ya going? And when will you be comin’ home? With my brother and my memory I’ll bring my history home Sealed with piss and with pride through the streets we would ride Over cracks in the dirt and weeds We’d best be home by suppertime Just in time to craft a scheme If you’ve got my back Here’s the plan of attack Listen up if you would boys please We’ll hit these pussies ‘round midnight And roll off like a band of thieves [Chorus] With quiverin’ eyes And our fear in disguise We gathered all that would burn in the breeze We hit the asphalt howlin’ like hellfire Had no time to get weak in the knees Under the cover of night When the timing was right Like a furious army of three We’d light up the sky like the fourth of July And race home like it was a dream And Mama yells Where have ya been? And where the hell are ya comin’ from? With my brother and my memory I’ll bring my victory home With my brother and my memory I’ll bring my history home
5.	Two Sides 03:07	lyrics	buy track
There are two sides to every story There are two of us And I swear I did what was best for you And if you’ll wait I’ll be running Back to you _ In the shadows of a cold winter night I found the comfort of a passing stranger I though I knew that it wasn’t right I was glad that I met you _ Cause there are two sides to every story There are two of us And I swear I did what was best for you And if you’ll wait I’ll be running Back to you _ Ice on the window fog on the door My voice found the key it was looking for Hot dusty roads never seem to long And why is what we’re doing so wrong _ Smoky bar whiskey on your lips Hold it tight but it always slips Broken down beat up and tossed Well I could be what you thought you’d lost _ Well there are two sides to every story There are two of us And I swear I did what was best for you And if you’ll wait I’ll be running Back to you Back to you Back to you
6.	Going To Colorado 02:24	lyrics	buy track
Split out of Utah with the law on my back I got dirt under my fingernails my clothes in a sack And the bones in my body are pointing me eastbound _ Haven’t slept for a month Haven’t showered for a week The prospects in Mississippi were looking pretty bleak I think I’ll try my luck with that green mountain high _ So turn up Buck Owens And turn down the light Cause I’m going to Colorado tonight _ Got my hipster killer packed up in the trunk Listening to songs about sin Sung by a drunk The mud on the windshield never turned us around _ Held my head up high as we crossed the state line The bud mixed perfect with the alpine And I could get use to this green mountain high _ So turn up Buck Owens And turn down the light Cause I’m going to Colorado tonight
7.	Goodbye Nowhere 03:26	lyrics	buy track
Goodbye worry, goodbye doubt Thats not the way I see the road ahead Goodbye nowhere, goodbye footsteps I’m breaking free, I’m on my own _ Before I could stand and walk I had a voice that’d always put me down I grew up tall but stayed small in my mind I didn’t have the strength to sit up straight and tall Every step with apprehension I couldn’t relieve this tension But today I’ve got something new to sing _ Goodbye worry, goodbye doubt Thats not the way I see the road ahead Goodbye nowhere, goodbye footsteps I’m breaking free, I’m on my own _ It’s so easy to lie when you can’t see The path that you burn behind you You can’t tell just which way you’re going to When you refuse to get where you belong Being me just like I shoulda’ No other way if I coulda Time shows no shortcuts only truth _ Goodbye worry, goodbye doubt Thats not the way I see the road ahead Goodbye nowhere, goodbye footsteps I’m breaking free, I’m on my own _ You can’t stop me I can only stop myself You can’t make me I can only make myself You can’t teach me I can only teach myself But in time Yes in time I’ll learn to say _ Goodbye worry, goodbye doubt Thats not the way I see the road ahead Goodbye nowhere, goodbye footsteps I’m breaking free, I’m on my own
8.	John Will 05:12	lyrics	buy track
John Will grew up on the green shores of Ireland Over 260 years ago But before he could be a man Out of his country he soon ran They didn’t like the way he believed in God Sold into indentured servitude John set his sites On the last place that he’d ever call home Waves of the ocean he would ride Be his family’s sweet pride After ten years in an American coal mine _ Oh John Will Someday we’ll tell your story Oh John Will What you did made us who we are _ With a shovel in his hand John pulled black coal from the land He was a slave for ten long years But when freedom broke his chains John’s blood rushed through his veins He could finally be the man that he wanted to be So he took himself a wife Bought him a patch of new world life And he had himself a family _ But shots echoed the ground at Lexington Militiamen went door to door So he signed his name to the Continental army And with cold steel John went to war _ Oh John Will Someday we’ll tell your story Oh John Will What you did made us who we are _ John fought hard in the battles for our independence Spilled his blood on the soil of his new home But overwhelmed by an all out attack John found the devil at his back Surrendered to the red coats in seventy seven In Philadelphia he was held behind wall of brick and iron His young wife would come to see him everyday _ But John starved to death in that military prison His family waiting close by They were trying to break the spirit of the rebels And they expected all of them to die _ Oh John Will Someday we’ll tell your story Oh John Will What you did made us who we are _ John is buried in a common grave Behind independence hall The life that he lived with steep and it was bitter But I’ll never forget the man that he was
9.	Round And Round 04:06	lyrics	buy track
I count the bridges And the mountain ridges From mile to mile Getting deep in the rhythm of the road I can pull this load Ten thousand miles _ And I got the will To find my destination And I won’t hold still Not while the wheels are on the pavement _ See the headlights right behind me Drawing circles in the ground Gotta keep moving Got to keep moving Round and Round and Round and Round _ The ground is moving fast But never the last Place I’ve been Dream the way we see And you will be Just what you hoped for _ You can live in fear Or moving with the seasons But I’ll stay constant Just like lines on the horizon _ See the headlights right behind me Drawing circles in the ground Gotta keep moving Got to keep moving Round and Round and Round and Round _ See the headlights right behind me Drawing circles in the ground Gotta keep moving Got to keep moving Round and Round and Round and Round
10.	Wild Mustang 04:03	lyrics	buy track
Wild Mustang Get this saddle off my back Wild Mustang Hear my bones begin to crack Take me right up Let me ride you all day long Oh take me right up Let me ride you all day long Wild Mustang Get this saddle off my back _ I did just what you wanted me to You bruised me from my head to my shoe I was holding out for a sign that never came Dragging you up rocky trails You’re a train that know no rails I’m picking you up and putting you on track _ Wild Mustang Get this saddle off my back Wild Mustang Hear my bones begin to crack Take me right up Let me ride you all day long Oh take me right up Let me ride you all day long Wild Mustang Get this saddle off my back _ We could be riding through some be old field But instead everyday it’s your kicks I must shield White in your eyes Hooves up in the air Do what you do and I’ll pretend I care _ Hey Wild Mustang Get this saddle off my back Wild Mustang Hear my bones begin to crack Take me right up Let me ride you all day long Oh take me right up Let me ride you all day long Wild Mustang Get this saddle off my back Wild Mustang Get this saddle off my back
11.	You Can't Leave Here Like That 02:40	lyrics	buy track
Local bar it was three AM Threw me out on my face again Stone steps hit me stair by stair When I got up there was mud in my hair Stumbled over just to lay in my car Ten beers deep I didn’t get too far Back on my back again I hear that voice every now and then _ You can’t leave here like that Not while I’m the one that’s watching you You can’t leave here like that Lay on your side and shut your eyes You’ll feel better in the morning You’ll feel better in the morning _ Woke up in a pile of junk My head was pounding and my stomach sunk The sun was high and bar was open Black cup of coffee was all I was hoping Light grew thin suds thickened my grass It only took two to throw me out on my ass Back on my back again I hear that voice every now and then _ You can’t leave here like that Not while I’m the one that’s watching you You can’t leave here like that Lay on your side and shut your eyes You’ll feel better in the morning You’ll feel better in the morning
12.	In The Back Of Your Mind 02:49	lyrics	buy track
Do what you do so we can like it Comment day to day Share to keep you honest I’ll be your friend if you’ll be mine _ Gimmie gimmie gimmie gimmie gimme Gimmie gimmie gimmie gimmie gimme Keep me In the back of your mind _ Post to keep us living Tag to leave your mark Insight to know your future I’ll follow you if you’ll follow me _ Gimmie gimmie gimmie gimmie gimme Gimmie gimmie gimmie gimmie gimme Keep me In the back of your mind _ Gimmie gimmie gimmie gimmie gimme Gimmie gimmie gimmie gimmie gimme Keep me In the back of your mind _
13.	Face To Face 03:11	lyrics	buy track
Brother kick me out of bed He crawls to his feet reluctantly Wraps his body in the sheet with the cigarette holes He’s a thousand miles from home Bundle up it’s coming down hard outside The cold will cut you like a dealer’s deck He starts the car to start the race And its never the time or the place _ Oo I guess he’s stuck this way Never listened to what they’d say He goes place to place But now he’s face to face _ Slumped over tired in the back seat Watching the trees go by at sixty-five In the face of trouble you can’t tell a lie Don’t the clouds look beautiful in the snowy sky _ Oo I guess he’s stuck this way Never listened to what they’d say He goes place to place But now he’s face to face _ Even in agony he wouldn’t trade the open road It’s the routine that keeps him prisoner But now he’ll learn to take his luck with style and grace Forever he’ll ware his life across his face _ Oo I guess he’s stuck this way Never listened to what they’d say He goes place to place But now he’s face to face
14.	Pain Blues 04:22	lyrics	buy track
Wraps its hands around Knocks me to my knees Pulls me by my spine Til’ I’m crying please _ Crying please God Please take away this agony _ Take me to the doctor But the doctor doesn’t know You can’t walk you can’t run Waiting for the final blow They give you reds and white Take your out of your head They want to make you real comfortable Right up until your dead _ Crying please God Please take away this agony _ Couldn’t think about nothing Pain torments your mind Its full time employment That you didn’t have to find It’s with your sleeping Wakes you up everyday Watching every move And every step you make _ Crying please God Please take away this agony _ The bones in your body Chew you up and spit you out All of your confidence Terrorizes you with doubt You’ll beg for the water But you’ll never get a drink Til’ your drugged and you tired and you throw up in the sink _ Crying please God Please take away this agony
15.	The Only Way 05:47	lyrics	buy track
Black as the sky Bright like gold How can you Even hold All the things that seem to let you down _ Moving out pulling in Coast to coast bet you’ve never been Lights go up and gonna give it a try All that’s left is just to say goodbye _ The only ways a lonely way Don’t you know by now The only ways a lonely way Don’t you know by now The only ways a lonely way Don’t you know by now The only ways a lonely way Don’t you know by now _ Backyard in the shade All we knew was fun Now it ways down on you Like sixteen ton All the things that seem to let you down _ Stayin out callin in Game to game you’re gonna scrape your shin Heads go up and we shoot high All that’s left is just to say goodbye _ The only ways a lonely way Don’t you know by now The only ways a lonely way Don’t you know by now The only ways a lonely way Don’t you know by now The only ways a lonely way Don’t you know by now _ The only ways a lonely way Don’t you know by now The only ways a lonely way Don’t you know by now The only ways a lonely way Don’t you know by now The only ways a lonely way Don’t you know by now
