All My Friends Are Crazy
03:49
|
|||
all my friends are crazy, but that just ain't me. i never listen to what they say. they're all good hearted with good intentions, but that don't matter much when i am here. pointless advice to ease my pain, i take it with a grain, because there's no way i'll be sleeping tonight. it's alright. and i wait for the new year. they'll be breaking some hearts my dear. i can't say that i'm not the same. another year and another heartache. i hope it gets better than this. i learn the hard way. what's a lesson if i can't live it and walk away? until then i'll retire to the same place i've been trying leave all this time. hey bartender i'll have another

Broken, Busted, Bloody
03:25
|

sitting in a mustang she does a line of cocaine, not thinking about the future, just thinking about the past. the letter says invited and we would be delighted to throw back a few with you. tonight it's on. baby's gone. well she's been spending all her time thinking about the love she lost many years ago, but she aught to know that she can pass the next eight bars and find nothing but booze and pain and heartache on the way. got a broken car with a busted wheel, got a bloody hand that won't heal. that's my best excuse. well i didn't say i'm past that point of caring about you anymore, but something's got to give if you're going to live up to the good times that you promised me. i know that i'm not going to be around for very long. i get tired of sitting on this barstool thinking about you

Don't Mislead
03:33
|
|||
held back by circumstances, i ain't good with romances. i never was much of a looker. all night we'll drive until we hit texas and maybe stop in dallas and have ourselves a drink. don't mislead. don't mislead. you can shoot it straight with me. i believe. i believe that god is lost at sea. hold on to what this life is giving. i do a lot of sinning. i always was a drinker. who knows where we go when this chapter is over? are we pushing up clover or are there footnotes to be read?

My Time Is Up
04:24
|
|||
i was born in a mining town by the name of bluefield, wv. now i'm sixty-seven and i lived a good life. i got about an hour left in me. been comatose for the past six months. i've had plenty of time to think. i can hear my family talking to me. i'd give anything to speak. i need a miracle tonight. please god give me that right. just three little words. one last hug and one more kiss. i got to tell my baby that she's going to be missed, and i'll be watching up above. i met a redhead at the age of twenty-one. i knew i had to make her mine. had a loving marriage of fourty-five. still proud to call her my wife. i can hear her crying over me. her tears are falling on my cheeks. now don't you worry everything will be fine. you know i hate to see you cry. i can't make it through the night. at least i put up a fight. this is not the end. one goodbye for now so long. i'm not here, but i won't be gone. i'll be watching from afar. my time is up. i'm heading home. my love and memories? well there coming with me, and they're staying with you

Keep It Together
04:44
|
|||
why do i fuck up and lie? because i'm not scared of what you think about my decisions. i know it's hard to make a living, but it'll be alright. why would you be scared? i'm right here i'm alive. and you. you know me. i'll be on my feet. that's what you're going to think, but at night i fall apart. oh it ain't supposed to be this way. i think about it night and day. soon something has got to change. i'll keep it together just for today. my plans work out in my head, but they don't pull through enough, it shows. i tried to get educated, but that didn't work that year, and now i'm still in debt

I'll Miss You (Whatever)
02:56
|
|||
i miss you more than i can show. why we haven't talked i don't know. this separation's going to kill me in the end. i guess i'll let you go. probably got something to do with the fact that you don't care now. you don't care anymore. probably got something to do with the fact that i miss you now. i'll miss you forever. been nursing that beer for about an hour. i can tell something's wrong. is it me? has our love gone sour? i thought we were going strong

Cheers
04:49
|

i'm better being gone. there's plenty other places i belong. i'll take another tease and i'll be gone. i'm packing for a while. ain't no way to tell when i'll be heading back. not that it would matter to anyone. cheers lets finish our beer, and get out of this town tonight. pop that clutch and put her gear, because any place is better than here. i've got no friend to name. i seem to recall a point in time where that wasn't the case, but that memory's so far gone it's been misplaced. can you just pretend that you give a damn and want to be my friend? just for a little while and then i'll go. i don't want to be alone. i guess that this is the life i chose. oh it's so sweet. these memory's are killing me. i'm better on my own. that's just another lie to help me along. then i hear those guitars whine and it takes me home

Fireflies
03:03
|
|||
it's quite a night. i watch the headlights as they drive by. their brightness pierces the night sky. they float away and then they die, and so do i. so many times i wanted time alone. so many times i wanted time to think and, a placebo to keep me sane i'll be just fine. at times like this i can not miss just how you loved me. just look around the fireflies have speckled the ground. the locusts chirp their loving sound. i'm not alone i'm just not around. i'm not down

Sunshine In a Shotglass
04:41
|
|||
i got back early. no one was home. the place is so empty here all alone. i bet you're out tonight living it up. i wish i could. it would do me no good. i sat in the kitchen. i finished the booze. i took all the pills sitting on the shelf. i'm ready to drown. ready to drown. ready to drown, but there's one more thing i've got left to say. i've got nothing left now. i risked out everything to spend my time with you. and now that she's leaving i'm here dying. i'll be raising up a shot glass tonight. when this life's over remember me sober. at one point in time we were doing alright. i can't blame you for leaving. i'd have done the same, because you don't deserve to get mixed up in this game. i'll praying with a shot glass tonight. i'll be buried in a shot glass tonight

i ain't ready. i ain't ready. don't put me in that pine box yet. this here whiskey kept me busy ‘til i could get my mind off of you. it's been hazy. yeah real hazy. the past eight months have been a bitch. now i'm ready. yeah i'm ready to start all over without you. i'll get up up up. i might be bloody. i've got more regrets than anybody should. the good times we had are gone and they ain't coming back. well i'm sorry. yeah i'm sorry. i never meant to do wrong by you. now i'm sober. yeah i'm sober. there ain't much else that i can do. all my bridges. all my bridges have long ago gone up in flames. well i'm trying. yeah i'm trying to get it together despite you. why should i care? why do i care? i've been taking all the blame for everything that's been going wrong with you. i could have been a better son and a better man
