Nevada

I came back here to say goodbye
Nobody’s home, I don’t know why
Nevada said goodbye
And that’s a cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, a cold cold way to die

Leave Me Here
03:10
|
|||
|
My coat keeps off the wild
The fire buys me time
I’m laughing all the while
I woke up in the pines
Leave me here and kindly disappear
We should have ran a wire
From the rocks down to our fire
We’re drunk and all the while
We woke up in the pines
Leave me here and kindly disappear
I swear that I was never there

Things Lovers Say
03:53
|
|||
|
You can take my palms and read the bones
Lay in the grass and watch the clouds make shadows
Watch that bending road before it’s gone
Deep in your veins, a road I’ve never known
Sleep all day, and wake up in your bed
You always say this will go straight to my head
Is that what lovers say
Sunlight danced on eyes beneath the leaves
Sometimes drunken red and emerald green
Watch that fading road before it’s gone
Deep in your veins, a road I’ll never know
Where I’ve been going, it’s a long way home
But I don’t mind, I’m just tired of doing it alone
Is that what lovers say

River
03:10
|

|
Days fly by until the riverbed runs dry
I float away until the water turns to clay
If I’m stuck out in the desert, darling
it don’t make no sense to tag along
Get comfortable with where you are and time will prove you wrong
Get comfortable with who you are and time will prove you wrong

Mr. Heartache
03:29
|
|||
|
I’ve been walking streets at night
Talking to the traffic lights
Thinking about back in time
When you were on my mind
Drive on up from San Antone
They told you you are not alone
They asked you where it hurts the most
I’ve been out of sorts for days
Thinking about all the ways
I could turn back time
To when you were on my side
Could drive on up to Californ
She tells you you are on your own
She shows you where it hurts the most
My left side gave me trouble, it started aching
they say to give it time but I’m still waiting
My left side gave me trouble, it started hurting
They say it goes away but not for certain
Everyone else, they’re all faking
Heartache

Point of View
04:10
|

|
If I could stay composed and wait
A tailor-made like me could burn all day
If I could save up all my cash
A firework like me wouldn’t burn so fast
Jaime says walk it off, let’s talk
The competition’s on and I swear that it’s a lock
I’m thinking of an old, old friend of mine
He held my shoulders tight and shook me when I cried
If I could count the days I didn’t mind
Slugging trees and screaming lullabies
Leaving off death like it’s a point of view
Putting all the good I know in my rearview
Does that mean I’m damaged goods
Or on the wrong side of I could
If I could go right now, I would
There’s the park where Nat fell out
I was on my knees, but I swear I never fell
She found good in me back when
Everything good was often desperate to begin
If I could count the days I didn’t mind
Slugging trees and screaming lullabies
Leaving off death like it’s a point of view
Putting all the good I know in my rearview
Does that make me damaged goods
Or on the wrong side of I could
If I could go right now, I would

Ask the Snow
04:21
|
|||
|
They got us lock and key
Soldier through a glass of whiskey
Until the phones don’t ring
I’m thinking that’s OK
If the talk’s enough to chase the devil away
We let nothing go to waste.
I followed my own advice
It hasn’t paid just yet but will in time
Go ask the streetlights
Have we drank enough for now to fight all night
Go ask that man if he’s alright
Go ask the snow if it really minds
Soon enough my ghost and I will live side by side
It’s not easy on the mind, and it’s not going to be
The three of us in tow, yelling Go, Go, Go
Don’t ask us Going where
We don’t know
Goddamn

There Were No Survivors
04:15
|
|||
|
Two and a half weeks ago
There was a storm
Brought down the Alamo
No one survived
Just a pair
Of laced up leather boots
Burning on the power line
Who's gonna pay for this
Oh no not us
Fold the bill
In an empty bottle of Anejo
And send it on
A west bound bus
Two and a half days ago
I tossed a cigarette
Burnt down the Texaco
No one survived
Just a single
Solemn Solo cup
Blowing down the county line
Who's gonna pay for this
Oh no not me
You had dust before
Then came the cement tide
This new horizon is for free
Two and a half hours ago
I pressed destruct
And blow blow blow
No one survived
Just this old song
The devil me and mine
Churning heathens into wine
Who's gonna pay for this
Oh no not us
There's nothing left to burn
And nothing left to lose
And no one left
To make a fuss
There were no survivors

North
04:42
|

|
There’s a chemical called ethanol
It keeps me level when climbing up the walls
You think we’re criminals, but I don’t think at all
You said it’s the law
Let’s go north
Let’s go north
I’ll work the whiskey
You can work the oars
That’s all I’m good for
Pacing in a cigarette haze on a kitchen floor
The neighbors are all counting the days next door
Yeah, but we’ll survive for years on black coffee
This neighborhood’s abandoned homes
You know that, but most don’t
At night, with the TV on
The alarm clock’s ringing, tho unplugged from the wall
A manufacturer’s flaw
Let’s go north
Let’s go north
I’ll work the whiskey
And you can work the oars
That’s all I’m good for
Pacing in a cigarette haze on a kitchen floor
The neighbors are all counting the days next door
Yeah, but we’ll survive for years on black coffee
Black coffee

Winter
03:18

When Winter goes away
I don’t need you to stay
When the leaves change color again
I would ask that you come in
I saw you leafing
After you asked what I was thinking
I think love is a substitute for knowing
Everything’s for sale and it’s all going
And I am going
When everything was wrong
I helped it belong
When life went on and on
I helped it along
And now it’s going
Going going gone
When everything’s an obstacle you’re moving past
You’re running in place, coming up last
And we came up last
