Lyrics

Dark River

Moon shines down

On a bayou town

Mademoiselles and the band

They cast their spells

We snuck in

The Rusty Tin

And we danced ‘round the room

Like a carousel

I lost myself

Dark, dark river

Dark, dark river

Dark, dark river ooh

Dark, dark river

In my dreams

I take a river boat queen

To where I left my heart

In your citadel

I lost myself

Dark, dark river

Dark, dark river

Dark, dark river ooh

Dark, dark river

Boston Town

Left in the morning with a song and a dream your love letter in the pocket of my jeans every night a different place
 in every crowd I only saw your face

From Shenandoah down to Santa Fe

I long for the sound of the birds on the bay singing hey there honey will you wait for me I’m never gonna work for the company

Oh where are you from

I’m from Boston Town
but I’ve been on the run

trying to find that wayward sound what’ve you done
 to get back to your love the only one I used to be from

that old Boston Town

Where the moonlight dances on the old rooftops we were midnight drifters on the north end docks hey there honey did you wait for me

did you run away with someone in the company

Oh where are you from

I’m from Boston Town
but I’ve been on the run

trying to find that wayward sound what’ve you done
 to get back to your love the only one I used to be from

that old Boston Town

I washed up in my hometown

like a sailor searching for solid ground there’s just some stories that you can’t erase I went back to Kerrigan Place

Oh where are you from

I’m from Boston Town

but I’ve been on the run

trying to find that wayward sound what’ve you done
 to get back to your love the only one I used to be from

that old Boston Town

I used to be from
 that old Boston Town
 where are you from
 I’m from Boston Town

Where I Got Lost

I used to walk like a hurricane

Tear the place up ‘till they knew my name

Now it’s just a cold and misty rain

Coming down

I used to howl into the night of fear

Dive head first off the old fishing pier

Now it’s like I’m wading to disappear

With the rest of the town

I don’t know where I got lost

I don’t know where I got lost

Must’ve cut the breaks and blew the exhaust

Kept on driving

I used to raise the stakes on all of your bets

For you I’d stand up to the King of Death

Now I’m hanging onto faith like there ain’t none left

From here to salvation

I used to feel the sun sink into my skin

Let the sweet wine drip down of my chin

Now it’s like every time a storm rolls in

I forget how to face it

I don’t know where I got lost

I don’t know where I got lost

Must’ve cut the breaks and blew the exhaust

Kept on driving

I don’t know where I got lost

I don’t know where I got lost

Pays to take a risk but heavy is the cost

To keep on driving

I don’t know where I got lost

I don’t know where I got lost

Must’ve cut the breaks and blew the exhaust

Kept on driving

Elijah

When the highway is empty, hollow, and dark

Where do you ride with that weight on your heart

Do you go down to the river

Down to the deepest part

Oh Elijah

Past the hilltops and the valleys of who we were in memories

Buried in some notion of what we thought love could be

Through these tears and old love letters

In my dreams I’ve dreamed forever

I tried to find you

I wish I could

Elijah

Oh Elijah

Well there ain’t nothin’ sharper than the steel that splits this wood

But your empty words cut deeper than a knife ever could

Is it worse they once had meaning

Is it blood if you’re not bleeding

Oh Elijah

I wish you could

Elijah

Oh Elijah

Roll Me Mama

chronically confused my pellucidity is loose enough to weave a new illusion am i dreaming am i

losing all my sanity it stands to sink in superficial strands that slipped right through my fingers

landed on the brink of empty handed to me straight to the gut all my resentment i was struck

with good intention not enough to mend a menace out of touch would you

roll me mama

send me your regards

before i’m too far gone

better fetch the holy water

and roll me mama

send me your regards

you know i’m too far gone

and i’ve been wading/waiting in the water

mmm

boot strap boogie lookin’ low down dirty sugar slow down shook it sweet now come down and

crash into the seasonal amnesia fix a tonic for the fiendin’ fight the fog and face the freedom

catastrophic need for needin’ never satisfied work me to the bone dry knuckles raw and brain

fried anything to choke my conviction

roll me mama

send me your regards

before i’m too far gone

better fetch the holy water

and roll me mama

send me your regards

you know i’m too far gone

and i’ve been wading/waiting in the water

mmm

a half hearted condition got me laid up something wicked couldn’t name what i’ve been

missing all the same and all the sinning takes a toll on the best patch the holes up with neglect

cards they folded lost the bet make amends with my own

mess me up

roll me mama

send me your regards

before i’m too far gone

better fetch the holy water

and roll me mama

send me your regards

you know i’m too far gone

and i’ve been wading/waiting in the water

roll me mama

send me your regards

before i’m too far gone

better fetch the holy water

and roll me mama

send me your regards

you know i’m too far gone

and i’ve been wading/waiting in the water

roll me mama

roll me mama

roll me mama

roll me mama

roll me mama

roll me mama

roll me mama

roll me mama

roll

mmm

Sing Me Back, Springsteen

Well they turned my home into a highway town

Company men had the trees cut down

At night you can hear those engines roar

Crickets on the creek don’t sing anymore

Way down low

Where the river used to go

Dancing in the headlight glow

Dancing with you so slow

Now it’s only in my dreams

Fading like these Levi jeans

Sing me back, sing me back, Springsteen

I walk through the smoke of a memory

Behind the barn we lay in the wild chicory

It was the coldest spring I ever knew

I tried like hell to hold on to you

Way down low

Where the river used to go

Dancing in the headlight glow

Dancing with you so slow

Now it’s only in my dreams

Fading like these Levi jeans

Sing me back, sing me back, Springsteen

Well the cool east wind brings the smell of the the sea

Now it’s just dirty money and gasoline

They put an interstate through the heart of my town

My childhood ended when they paved that ground

Way down low

Where the river used to go

Dancing in the headlight glow

Dancing with you so slow

Now it’s only in my dreams

Fading like these Levi jeans

Sing me back, sing me back, Springsteen

Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo

Sing me back, sing me back, Springsteen

I Used To Be The One

Well it’s just like that and you’re lovers’ gone

Up all night thinking what went wrong

When you can’t go back and you can’t move on

When it feels jail in the hollow dawn

You don’t know where to run

I used to be the one

Waiting for you when the day is done

Now I’m not anyone

Well I heard you found somebody new

I hope she loves you like how I used to

Now you call me up just to get me back

As if hearts don’t break, as if I wanted that

You don’t know where to run

I used to be the one

Waiting for you when the day is done

Now I’m not anyone

Drive

take me down to the river

let me dive into the darkness

rinse away the day to see things clearer

take me down

lay me down on the warm rocks

let the sunshine kiss my skin

kiss me just the same, take away the pain

lay me down

you have to drive through the mountains to get there

you have to drive with the windows down

when it’s calling, you have to get going

you have to drive

maybe all night 

you have to drive

all this desire is fleeting 

like smoke around the barrel of a gun

who shot the bullet, who is bleeding

what have we done

we caught lightning in a bottle

burned this place down to ash

only cowboys ride forever, but this love we built together 

just might last

you have to drive through the mountains to get there

you have to drive with the windows down

when it’s calling, you have to get going

you have to drive

maybe all night 

you have to drive

it’s at the end of a dark and dusty highway

it’s stuck in the seams of my soul

this dream that i have is burning

burning a hole

you have to drive through the mountains to get there

you have to drive with the windows down

when it’s calling, you have to get going

you have to drive

maybe all night 

you have to drive

you have to drive

Sparrow

there’s a spirit in the attic

making noises again

blowing o’s with a cigarette

i could’ve sworn it was there

and i wake up all alone

with an aching in my bones

there’s a sparrow at the window singing songs to me that i used to know

ooo

ooo i used to want you

but you just can’t help yourself from bringing me down

these ghosts in my periphy

are blurring everything that i see

caught your shadow by the door

but babe you know you don’t belong here no more

said i know this place ain’t home

but i have nowhere else to go

and the sparrow at the window keeps on singing songs that i used to know

ooo

ooo i used to want you

but you just can’t help yourself from bringing me down

i’m still waiting on the promise you’re breaking

never thought you’d drag this on so long

but you’re still reeling in the past i’m feeling

that i’m never gonna shake you off

you gotta get gone
this deathly haunting wicked wanting

heavy haze is smothering me

sedated in a blanket of smoke

that brought me to my knees

and i wake up all alone

with this filth inside my bones

and i’m waiting by the window for a whistle in the wind that i know

ooo

ooo i used to want you

but you just can’t help yourself from bringing me down

Burn Out

a hundred miles is a hundred more

heart in rhythm with the engine’s roar

sometimes i wonder what i’m looking for

i feel like fireworks in the sky

reaching for something that’s up too high

gone like the smoke on a summer night

if i’m gonna burn out

chasing some dream down

you bet i’m gonna drive all night in the Mississippi moon

take my ticket to the big time with everything to lose

so baby meet me downtown

where everybody burns out

i’m gonna fake it ’til i make it mine

you bet i’m gonna take it to the end of the line

they call me nothing and they call me rough

say i’m never gonna have the right stuff

but i won’t quit it’s not in my blood

so go ahead and leave me on the avenue

don’t you know that i’m someone who could see this through

if it ends in ashes doesn’t mean it wasn’t true

if i’m gonna burn out

chasing some dream down

you bet i’m gonna drive all night in the Mississippi moon

take my ticket to the big time with everything to lose

so baby meet me downtown

where everybody burns out

i’m gonna fake it ’til i make it mine

you bet i’m gonna take it to the end of the line
if i’m gonna burn out

chasing some dream down

you bet i’m gonna drive all night in the Mississippi moon

take my ticket to the big time with everything to lose

so baby meet me downtown

where everybody burns out

i’m gonna fake it ’til i make it mine

you bet i’m gonna take it to the end of the line

so baby watch me burn out

Lie Lie Lie

i heard that you don’t want me

anymore

i knew it already

like how the air gets heavy

right before

the rain

to say i’m sorry for nothing

would be a lie

on my lips i’m sorry for it all

take me to the mountain one more time

lie lie lie lie lie

a howl rose up from this valley

where the lights

flicker in rage

and i tread through all of my darkness

and i wear it

like a long black cape

i stand over my Queendom

of Nothing

but it’s mine baby it’s mine

take me to the mountain one more time

lie lie lie lie lie

tell me was it real

am i the only one

pulled back under

every time it cuts like steel

how could you say

it was all for fun

these songs they sound different

then they used to

they play in my dreams like a lie
take me to the mountain one more time
lie lie lie lie lie

Come Back To Me

take me on a sailboat ride

below the indigo sky

i could not tell you the things i’d try

just to get back

just to get back

i was tangled up in your dreams

dreams that came untied

when did this get so heavy

i was falling

you were calling

i don’t care

which way you go

through the highways

or where the river runs low

tell your lover “find another”

and come back to me

back then this place could take a punch

now it’s all washed away

down here the wind changes all at once

on the water

on the water

i don’t care

which way you go

through the highways

or where the river runs low

tell your lover “find another”

and…

i know the shadows in your heart

and you know mine

from here we cannot see the start

i’m not blind

i’m not blind

i don’t care

which way you go

through the highways

or where the river runs low

tell your lover “find another”

and come back

come back

come back to me

Train In The Valley

when the red moon rises

i listen for the sound

of that train in the valley

that’s rolling out of town

that high lonesome whistle

took the love i found

they’re on a train in the valley

that’s rolling out of town

ooo

i live on a hill

where i can see forever

nothing lasts, nothing will

don’t tell me i should’ve know better

i went down to the Mystic

to get my fortune read

“make your own, then get stoned”

that’s about all she said

when the red moon rises

i listen for the sound

of that train in the valley

that’s rolling out of town

that high lonesome whistle

took the love i found

they’re on a train in the valley

that’s rolling out of town

ooo
cast a line deep down

to the riverbed of my soul

when i’m stuck reel me up

someday i’m gonna strike gold

i’ll wander like the wind

that rides on the sea

there’s no shelter from the sting

from these washed up memories

when the red moon rises

i listen for the sound

of that train in the valley

that’s rolling out of town

that high lonesome whistle

took the love i found

they’re on a train in the valley

that’s rolling out of town

ooo

Took Me Down

sad eyes hidden by a circus smile

got an old town style haven’t seen in a while

angel from an 8 track vintage scene

oh he should’ve been on movie screens

45s and basement tapes

traces of the moon running down his face

old guitars singing in a faded light

wait a minute baby i’m no good at goodbye

his love was soft

his love softer than the breeze in late september

and i got lost

i got caught up like the leaves

and he took me

took me down

flashfire caught him in the middle of the night

with some far our lover in a fevered high

burning in the midnight rain

never thought i’d hate the way you say my name

groovy little mind eraser

race car trouble maker

took the last train out of town

fading like the summer as the sun went down

his love was soft

his love softer than the breeze in late september

and i got lost

i got caught up like the leaves

and he took me

took me down

took me down he took me down

On A Road

i’ve been losing my direction

in my search for perfection

and everything i made might just fall apart

down this road of my transgressions

i can’t connect with my connections

and these highway signs don’t tell you how you got so far

they just tell you where you are

i’m on a road out of town

where nothings’ gonna tie me down

i’m on a road and i don’t know how i’m gonna get back now

let me change, let me grow

just don’t let me let you go

i know i act tough but it’s not enough to go alone

love ain’t easy, love ain’t hard

baby just get back in the car

and we’ll race to the river down 202

i’d do anything to make our dreams come true

i’m on a road to the outskirts

where you know someones’ gonna get hurt

i’m on a road and i don’t know how i’m gonna get back now

in the dying engine heat

born from ashes of defeat

i wear this crown that doesn’t shine

i’m leaving everything behind

i’m on a road through the fire

like the flames the stakes rise higher

i’m on a road

i’m on a road

i’m on a road out of town

where nothings’ gonna tie me down

i’m on a road and i don’t know how i’m gonna get back now

Leave This Town

you can trade in your shiny dreams

for a punch card down at the company

you can lie and and say you never had the stuff

keep pretending that all of this is enough

i got the keys

if you got the guts

come on let this place rust

like the water tower on the edge of town

if you stay you might learn to live it down

but if you don’t go now

you ain’t ever gonna leave this town

you ain’t ever gonna leave this town

just when you though you were headed outbound

you ain’t ever gonna leave this town

it’s like church bells on a sunday

when that thunder comes around

you go up on that hill above the highway

just to hear that holy rolling sound

you fell in love with an outlaw

you fell for the wind

but somethings’ pulling you back in

to that water tower on the edge of town

if you stay you might learn to live it down

but if you don’t go now

you ain’t ever gonna leave this town

you ain’t ever gonna leave this town

just when you though you were headed outbound

you ain’t ever gonna leave this town

i got the keys

if you got the guts

come on let this place rust

like the water tower on the edge of town

if you stay you might learn to live it down

but if you don’t go now

South Dakota

i heard about the badlands

i think i’d fit right in

between the dark clouds and the canyons

between where something ends and where it begins

i’ll bring the thunder to those valleys

i’ve brought it everywhere i’ve been

i heard about the badlands

i heard about the badlands

and i think i’d fit right in

now i know why they cry in the movies

now i know why it hurts so bad

it’s not the scar that’s left when it’s over

it’s knowing you’ll lose what you have

so i’m leaving before the last scene

i hope that you don’t mind

it’s just i heard about the badlands

and i’m going in the morning time

south dakota

south dakota

i’m feeling older, i’m feeling colder

than i’ve ever been

and i want to start again

south dakota

south dakota

south dakota

i’m feeling older, i’m feeling colder

south dakota

south dakota

i’m feeling older, i’m feeling colder

than i’ve ever been

and i want to start again

south dakota

i heard about the badlands

i think i’d fit right in

between the dark clouds and the canyons

between myself and my sins

i’ll bring the thunder to those valleys

i’ve brought it everywhere i’ve been

i heard about the badlands

i heard about the badlands

and i think i’d fit right in

Cowboy Heart

light the kerosene lantern

leave your boots by the door

i’m tired and i don’t want to talk anymore

i’ll say goodbye in the morning

like the grooves on a record

you left lines on my heart

put me on and send me spinning

spin me right back to the start

cowboy heart

can’t you stay just one more night down at the reservoir

i wish love didn’t leave a mark

‘cause i can’t tame you cowboy heart

i went up to the canyon

saw a sunset poured from a bottle of wine

we used to get drunk off these skies

we used to call this place our mansion

all those days you rode alone

in your cathedral of desert dirt

the busted branded angels sang of all their hurt

but did you know it was me who was singing

cowboy heart

can’t you stay just one more night down at the reservoir

i wish love didn’t leave a mark

‘cause i can’t tame you cowboy heart

was knowing that i’d lose you my vice

or was it the moment that i fell for you when i paid this heavy price

but i guess it doesn’t matter

‘cause i’d do it all again

just say when

cowboy heart

can’t you stay just one more night down at the reservoir

i wish love didn’t leave a mark

‘cause i can’t tame you cowboy heart

Down By The Lake

why do i keep coming back here

or is it that i’ve never left

it’s dark and i sense that i’m near

there’s my moon shadow silhouette

a haunting tune becomes clearer

with every tired step i take

i hear them gypsies singing

they’re singing meet me down by the lake

blackberry blue sky in my eyes

yellow moon on the rise

that gypsy music drags me in

that sweet magic medicine

this dirt on my shoes ain’t coming clean

my shirt still smells like kerosene

i don’t know how long i’ve been awake

won’t you meet me down by the lake

hey gypsy man with the green eyes

you really got me hypnotized

our feet dance around the fire

we’re all thieves and we’re all liars

this dirt on my shoes ain’t coming clean

my shirt still smells like kerosene

i don’t know how long i’ve been awake

won’t you meet me down by the lake

this dirt on my shoes ain’t coming clean

my shirt still smells like kerosene

i don’t know how long i’ve been awake

when i leave here it’s my heart that aches

i don’t know how much more i can take

so if you’re passing by won’t you put on the brakes

why do i keep coming back here

or is it that i’ve never left

it’s dark and i sense that i’m near

there’s my moon shadow silhouette

The Hollow

in the silence and the summer heat

as bonfires burn down on the beach

one reckless kiss in that soft ocean mist

don’t you remember or is it lost on you

“i am a lonely soul

you’re the only one who makes it whole”

these words you said

were they just something you read

‘cause baby i believed them to be true

down in the hollow

i’d go back tomorrow

what’s it gonna take, is it too late

are you giving up

i was young here

you were young here

tell me not to go and i will not go

is that not enough

we were seaside ramblers

and the nights were so long

low tide lovers, we were under

some kind of crazy spell

don’t tell me it’s over

‘cause i already know

just let it be darling

why can’t you see

the tequila will heal ya tonight

down in the hollow

i’d go back tomorrow

what’s it gonna take, is it too late

are you giving up

i was young here

you were young here

tell me not to go and i will not go

is that not enough

down in the hollow

i’d go back tomorrow

what’s it gonna take, is it too late

are you giving up

i was young here

you were young here

i belong here

am i wrong here

down in the hollow

oh the hollow

tell me not to go and i will not go

is that not enough

Dreamin’

i got lost on the busted up boardwalks

of a summer i once knew

tumblin’ slowly like thunder

down the dunes with you

coca-cola kings and queens

barefoot in our ripped up jeans

we were dancing all night down on Marconi Beach

you and i were restless

and something told me it wouldn’t last long

we were chasing lightning

just a flash and then it was gone

was that the reason why we desperately held on

or did those july nights really mean something

ya you showed up like a hurricane

last night in the memories that still remain

i try to forget you but it’s not gonna change

i’m still dreamin’ about you

in my room i look at us

through this fireworks cascade

i never thought those nights

would feel so far away

it’s these old photographs

they capture the moments that could never last

now it’s just a faded piece of the past and the edges are torn

ya you showed up like a hurricane

last night in the memories that still remain

i try to forget you but it’s not gonna change

i’m still dreamin’ about you

ya you i’m still dreamin’ about you

and those summer nights

you are you dreamin’ about me

and what we could have been

if we just took a chance

and changed around our plans

but we were so young and selfish then

you i’m still dreamin’ about you

ya you i’m still dreamin’ about you

Bad Rain

the piano is busted and out of tune

the air is so heavy this afternoon

i don’t know where i’ve been

there’s a bad rain rolling in

i didn’t know what i lost

now it haunts me like a ghost

i still feel you on my skin

there’s a bad rain rolling in

so if you want to see that thunder

‘cause i don’t think this thing is over

i know where to find redemption

go outside and start the engine

there’s a bad rain rolling in

there’s a bad rain rolling in

When It All Goes Bad

darkness settles like dust on the highway

i get in my car and drive

trying to get this into gear while i’m fighting back the tears

i can tell it’s gonna be a long ride

down through this valley drenched in moonlight

i pick you up after work

for a love that still might shine don’t you think we oughta try

‘cause baby it just hurts too much to hurt

go ahead, say goodbye

leave me hanging on some pretty line

like “you were it, all i ever had”

it’s all the same

when it all goes bad

when it all goes bad

you know it’s such a such a drag

when it all goes bad

i play this love over and over again

in my head it’s like a far away dream

driving in the dunes under the light of a july moon

like some classic movie staring Steve McQueen

i don’t know the time or place

i woke up and something had changed

kisses that were sweet now taste full of defeat

it sounds different when you say my name

go ahead, say goodbye

leave me hanging on some pretty line

like “you were it, all i ever had”

it’s all the same

when it all goes bad

when it all goes bad

you know it’s such a such a drag

when it all goes bad

my jean jacket is heavy from this rain

my heart is heavy from this pain

did we fall for some illusion, did i really want to lose you

were you just playing some kind of game

go ahead, say goodbye

leave me hanging on some pretty line

like “you were it, all i ever had”

it’s all the same

when it all goes bad

when it all goes bad

you know it’s such a such a drag

you know it’s such a such a drag

when it all goes bad

Up In Wellfleet

the carnival came back to Barnstable County

and these ferris wheel lights burn like fire

remember all those nights we were tangled up in desire

drinking warm corona on the edge of the dock

stealing your daddy’s boat

we hid up in those dunes and drove all night along the coast

baby put on your jacket

let’s go for a ride

i know a place up in Wellfleet

where the dreams don’t die

in this town where everything slips away with the sand

in this town where the lighthouse don’t shine

i go down to the boardwalks looking for an angel every night

do you think we took this love for granted

like the youth we say we won’t wast

when i cry, i cry for you, i let fall these tears of rage

so baby put on your jacket

let’s go for a ride

i know a place up in Wellfleet

where the dreams don’t die

so baby put on your jacket

let’s go for a ride

i can heal all your pain if you let me

if you just let me try

Ramblin’

dust rising up behind me

i’m flying like the thunder won’t find me

it’s just a matter of time

i thought I left you in the last town

i thought I left you at the bottom of a bottle

but you’re still on my mind

i’ve been ramblin’

through the same rain

through this damn pain 

of wanting to see you again

come on pick me up 

come on pick me up, pick me up in your black pick-up truck

that we used to ride to the river and ramble in

I wish you’d just wash out

like the color from my blue jeans

I wish I knew how

how to rinse my heart clean

but it’s like I’ve been branded 

by those kerosene nights

I swear I’m still standing

on that dirt by the river

in the dying firelight

where i’ve been ramblin’

through the same rain

through this damn pain 

of wanting to see you again

come on pick me up 

come on pick me up, pick me up in your black pick-up truck

that we used to ride to the river and ramble in

every time I turn this engine

every time the rain rolls in

it brings me back to where I’ve been

but it won’t bring me back to you

i’ve been ramblin’

through the same rain

through this damn pain 

of wanting to see you again

come on pick me up 

come on pick me up

i’ve been ramblin’

through the same rain

through this damn pain 

of wanting to see you again

come on pick me up 

come on pick me up, pick me up in your black pick-up truck

that we used to ride to the river and ramble in

Am I Really Losing You

i got a bad, bad feeling 

from that look in your eyes

they got a sad, sad notion

like everything we have is on fire

tell me i’m wrong

say that it’s alright 

is that not the truth 

have i been blind

tell me, oh tell me baby

am i really losing you

i got a bad, bad feeling 

you got somebody new

all this time you had me believing

that your love was so true

tell me i’m wrong

say that it’s alright 

is that not the truth 

have i been blind

tell me, oh tell me baby

am i really losing you

i ain’t gonna love you anymore

no no, no no, no

tell me i’m wrong

say that it’s alright 

is that not the truth 

have i been blind

tell me, oh tell me baby

am i really losing you

You & Me

you & me like waves on the sea

west coast days 

in the sun rays

that sixties style had me here for a while

west coast days 

in the sun rays

sneaking out after dark

chasing taillights, chasing sparks

driving in your old car

cherry red, movie stars

you & me like waves on the sea

west coast days 

in the sun rays

that sixties style had me here for a while

west coast days 

in the sun rays

driving ‘till the sunrise

freedom shines in our eyes

sitting on the beach, endless summer

love is in our reach

you & me like waves on the sea

west coast days 

in the sun rays

that sixties style had me here for a while

west coast days 

in the sun rays

west coast days 

in the sun rays

Gasoline

rolling like the thunder

through this field of dust

Neil Young blasting on the radio

rusted sunset in the rearview

never liked this place that much

i’m still searching for my Mexico

it’s this dirt on my shoes

it’s this hurt that i can’t lose

it feels like chains

it feels like chains

i wanna burn this gasoline

there’s a thousand more miles i haven’t seen

they can try to find me

the ties that try to bind me

but i’m leaving it behind me to burn

burn this gasoline 

past the old water tower

where we carved our names

why do i hold on tight to what we were at seventeen

it’s this love i used to have

it’s this love that hurt so bad

it feels like chains

it feels like chains

i wanna burn this gasoline

there’s a thousand more miles i haven’t seen

they can try to find me

the ties that try to bind me

but i’m leaving it behind me to burn

burn this gasoline 

it’s this dirty engine sound

it’s how my demons chase me down

it ends the same in every town

it feels like chains

it feels like chains

i wanna burn this gasoline

there’s a thousand more miles i haven’t seen

they can try to find me

the ties that try to bind me

but i’m leaving it behind me to burn

burn this gasoline 

The Things I Didn’t Do

a thunder storm was rolling in heavy

the hot sun was hanging low

driving that old beat up chevy 

down to the river

the radio was playing our song

the one we dance to in town

but what we had baby now it’s all gone

and the rain came pouring down

i wish i told you too late than nothing at all

i wish i picked up the phone and gave you a call

i wish i caught you in the rain instead of watching it fall

maybe someday i can forget you

but i can’t forget the things i didn’t do

you can’t save a fire burning in the rain

you can’t trade the truth in for lies

we tore each other up just like a hurricane

it’s so hard to see when love is blind

i wish i told you too late than nothing at all

i wish i picked up the phone and gave you a call

i wish i caught you in the rain instead of watching it fall

maybe someday i can forget you

but i can’t forget the things i didn’t do

ya it’s driving me crazy

ya it’s driving me crazy

ya it’s driving me right out of my mind

i wish i told you too late than nothing at all

i wish i picked up the phone and gave you a call

i wish i caught you in the rain instead of watching it fall

maybe someday i can forget you

but i can’t forget the things 

no i can’t forget the things

no i can’t forget the things i didn’t do

All These Tears

i don’t want you to go

but i don’t know how to say

i’m sorry and i made a mistake

so i’ll pretend it doesn’t hurt 

and i’ll give back all your shirts

i won’t watch you drive away

all these tears

that i won’t cry

they must be some kind of crime

they must be the reasons why

you leave me here

with all these tears

all these movies make me sad

all this love it seems so true

was it my selfish pride that made me a fool

you said “meet me in the madness

let me heal your crazy blue sadness”

why was that so hard for me to do

all these tears

that i won’t cry

they must be some kind of crime

they must be the reasons why

you leave me here

with all these tears

don’t leave me here

with all these tears

Honey Whiskey

i woke up just in time for the sunrise

lying in the back of that truck

my head aches and your lips taste like fire

i’m happy but my heart’s all messed up 

it’s all sweet ’til it’s gone but it lasted

that summer when we ran out of luck

blind and burnin’ down the highway with you

lost under the last red moon

sweet ’til it’s gone

like honey whiskey

sweet ’til it’s gone

honey whiskey

you got hurt, i got hurt

what’s the difference

don’t act like it ain’t nothing new

restless nights running down to the water

thinking ‘bout it makes me feel blue

take me back, take me back to that view

take me back to Route 202

blind and burnin’ down the highway with you

lost under the last red moon

sweet ’til it’s gone

like honey whiskey

sweet ’til it’s gone

honey whiskey
