Morlos 04:28
Somebody caught me Some cop in Reno Somebody caught me and I’ve been let free, yeah I wasn’t stalking I was just talking From sun up to sun down thinking of her We were once lovers I knew her only I was whole when she when she gave herself to me An ocean of passion It flowed between us A union so strong it could not be broken She still loves me I know this to be true Mistakes were made but they can be corrected too She musn’t hide from me It only serves to anger me I don’t wish to frighten her She’s the only one I’ve ever loved In her new life I can tell she isn’t happy If I had the chance I could bring back her sunshine One single look of longing Will be my signal One hundred years of hope still left within me Some body catch me I’ve fallen for her A wave of light washes over me When I’m running In the land of dreams I’ll run faster and she’s chasing after me She still loves me I know this to be true Mistakes were made but they can be corrected too She musn’t hide from me It only serves to anger me I don’t wish to frighten her She’s the only one I’ve ever loved

Cast Iron 05:19
Oh baby don’t remind me A thousand pesos maybe For maple syrup turkey gravy Falling on my knees and begging Cast iron pots and pans Bacon grease in the can If you want some lovin Better have a plan Go make some noise in the kitchen then Oh honey hear me crying Calluses on my fingers prying Scrubbing soaping sudsin greasing There’s gotta be a better reason Cat food chicken scratch Corn and cabbage on the couch If you want some lovin Better figure out How to make some noise in the kitchen now Oh how my mouth’s been yappin And how my gum’s been flappin But underneath that grayish water Is a chore I can’t delay no longer Crab cake, coffee grounds Chicken pot pie from the lost and found If you want to love your baby tonight It’s make some noise in the kitchen time

Saying not something, don’t worry bout nothing Now that the money’s all gone Don’t worry baby, it ain’t gonna change me We’ll get along we’ll get along Play a slow blues in C, the band’s following me Under the lamplights out on the street It’s late but we’re fed, the whole town’s in bed So order up another for me These are the days of a million temptations These are the nights of no hesitations And I ain’t worried bout anything Live my life, what it bring then I’m gone Calm and I’m cool, ain’t playing no fool Now that the money’s all gone No beef burgundy, no glass of Chablis But we’ll get along we’ll get along Saying not something, don’t worry bout nothing Now that the money’s all gone Don’t worry baby, it ain’t gonna change me We’ll get along we’ll get along These are the days of a million temptations These are the nights of no hesitations And I ain’t worried bout anything Live my life, what it bring then I’m gone

you won’t be riding hate up to heaven thinking that the lord will let you in forget excuses, forget repentance you will go to hell for your earthly sins first it was the jew then it was the negro now it is the queer the’ll always be someone to blame for your fear you won’t be riding hate up to heaven thinking that the good lord will let you in forget repentance, forget confession you will go to hell for your earthly sins you get the news from the same newspaper telling you in black and white good and bad you pay the man for your daily anger he gives you words he knows you want to hear you won’t be riding hate up to heaven thinking that a merciful lord will let you in forget confession, forget redemption you will go to hell for your earthly sins you say that you won’t have to pay the piper that saying sorry makes it all okay but you will face the fire on the day of judgment for the lives you trashed along the way you cannot ride hate up to heaven thinking that new found faith will get you in forget redemption, forget excuses you will go to hell for your earthly sins

Come on go with me babe Come on go with me girl Baby, let's go T o the cabin down below I got a radio Put in on soft and low Baby lets go To the cabin down below Well, I've had my eye on you For a long, long time I'm watching every thing you do Baby, you're gonna be mine Come on go with me babe Come on go with me girl Baby, let's go To the cabin down below Time's been moving slow Since we both got here Come on slide a little closer Let me whisper in your ear Well I got a radio Put in on soft and low Baby lets go To the cabin down below Oh, baby, let's go To the cabin down below Baby, let's love In the cabin down below

Chris and Billy went out for the night didn’t think twice about wrong or right Chris, said Billy, let’s shoot some pool Billy, said Chris, that’s cool Chris, said Billy, let’s have another round Billy, said Chris, sounds good Chris, said Billy, let’s smoke a jay Billy, said Chris, okay Billy, said Chris, let’s go for a ride Chris, said Billy, all right get a gun get a gun, a double-barrel shotgun and a knife get a knife, a razor sharp knife load it up load it up in a high jacked pickup head on out head on out to the open field see a flash see a flash in the long tall grass take a shot take a shot before time runs out hear him scream hear him scream in an awful dream out of luck out of luck, that could’ve been me I could have been a killer I could have been a killer I could have been a killer but the dice rolled the other way Chris, said Billy, I’m so stoned Billy, said Chris, right on Chris, said Billy, here’s your gun Billy, said Chris, point it down Chris, said Billy, I think I’m done Billy, said Chris, hold on Chris shot Billy, that’s what the sheriff said but Billy shot Billy in his own head chorus Chris and Billy out all night didn’t think twice about wrong or right

I must be dreaming, I must be dreaming, Just a feeling, I have been feeling, I must be dancing, I must be dancing Across the ceiling, High enough to fall down So I had a vivid dream Of walking past a newborn’s scream Loud enough to wake my dreaming head This morning I think I was drunk From all the bottles in my trunk It's not like I survived a miracle Just a warning, Just a warning Another morning , Another morning This must be Memphis That must be Elvis Walking down the aisle towards me Pushing all the buttons down Spinning crazy dials around Watching headlights dance across the couch Then a vision came to me From all those teenage fantasies And took me to the place I never found Go and bust another headlight Go and bust another headlight It’s just a headlight Just a warning, Just a warning Let you off this time with a warning Another morning, another morning Let you off this time with a warning But my conscience is telling me Just a common enemy But oh my brothers I’m seeing double The sun is coming up behind The trees and I’ve been walking blind I haven’t seen those storms clouds for a while Go and bust another headlight Go and bust another headlight It’s just a headlight

Hottest Days 05:40
I need an SUV keep it cool on high AC I drive all by myself I don’t take anybody else I don’t care for MPG burning gas is alright by me I cut the tall trees down so I don’t have to go around the hottest days in a hundred thousand years the coldest nights in a hundred thousand years the highest seas in a hundred thousand years the greatest storms in a hundred thousand green green give me that green gonna have more than you have ever seen green green give me that green not bushes or trees but money (honey) I need a great big lawn free from weeds put more poison on I put a driveway down so the grass doesn’t get walked on I leave the lights all on I get tired of off and on In the cold I turn the heat way up In the heat I turn the AC up on the road I drive as fast as I can in my home I’ll be as fat as I can screw the world that’s just who I am
9.
Listen to the rain a fallin Can’t you hear that lonesome sound Oh my poor heart is breakin Cause my sweet love ain’t around Lord I think I’ll start to ramble Got to leave this weary town This old place is way too lonely Cause my sweet love ain’t around On that train tonight I’m leaving And don’t ask me where I’m bound I can’t stay here any longer Cause my sweet love ain’t around Takin me to old Oklahoma Maybe north to Puget Sound Far away where it ain’t so lonely Cause my sweet love ain’t around When I came home last night I was bleedin I can’t tell from where I’ve bleed I don’t remember fightin All these thoughts poured through my head I was on my way to your house When I got there a man I found Said you don’t love me any longer Your sweetheart ain’t around

comin down the mountain comin down the mountain comin down the mountain sniffin out a bone walkin through the forest walkin through the forest walkin through the forest gotta find a way home I went seekin justice, justice said son, you’re guilty of every charge ever read I needed a doctor, doctor said everything’s wrong with you, but it’s all in your head comin down the mountain comin down the mountain comin down the mountain sniffin out a bone searchin for the hollow gotta find a way home I asked the farmer what seeds he sowed farmer said peace or fear, I really don’t know went to the wise man way down the road he said son, I used to know it all comin down the mountain comin down the mountain comin down the mountain ridin on a dark road ridin on a dark road ridin on a dark road gotta find a way home I went to the preacher, preacher said pray down on my knees I had nothing to say so I asked the trickster what it all means he said this story’s just pickin up steam comin down the mountain comin down the mountain comin down the mountain hidin in the shadows hidin in the shadows hidin in the shadows gotta find a way home
11.
I don’t want to live forever Dying now would be better than never I don’t want to take what’s not mine One or two things you’ll never find me do Don’t want to live a lonely life without you I can’t stand the taste of nothing Hold my breath and wait for something Creeps into my head takes hold of my mind Doesn’t it have anything better to do Can’t stand the thought of a lonely life without you I can’t take no compromises, only one thing’ll do I don’t want no more surprises I’m coming home to you They’re telling me things I know are not right Out of my mind ain’t out of my sight Don’t want to believe me you can find in due time Got bad intentions, and it’s plain to see Try to sell me on something forget all the shit that I’ve seen I can’t take no compromises, only one thing’ll do I don’t want no more surprises I’m coming home to you
