Blood On The Mind

I'm telling you to explain
Cause now you're playing my game
If you don't do what I say
I'm gonna throw you
In the river, someday
See me floating down the river
That's where my body does lie
It sure was a cold September
With blood on everybody's mind
See my body on the shoreline
My thoughts are spilling in the stream
Picking strings all together
But everybody knows their scene
What did they put in the water
That we're drinking every night
What did they do to the music man
When they tried to silence him that night
Can you see it in the stars now
That you ain't acting right
Your minds been poisoned by the weather
The people and all of those lies
Don't listen to the wind blow
Cause it ain't being very kind
Follow the path of all the others
So they can have their justice tonight
What did they put in the water
That we're drinking every night
What did they do to the music man
When they tried to silence him that night
What did they put in the water that night
Cause he's lying here dead on cold ice
It don't matter what he had to say
Because they already cut him down today
It don't matter what he had to say
Because they already cut him down today
What did they put in the water
That we're drinking every night
What did they do to the music man
When they tried to silence him that night
What did they put in the water
That we're drinking every night
What did they do to the music man
When they tried to silence him that night
When they tried to silence him that night

Yours To Keep
02:32

Walking tipsy, briskly from the scene of the crash,
It felt too good how high you stood it would not last
You broke a few hearts .. a couple promises too –
Left arm, Left leg, your Eye socket's blue, oh
Will the throbbing in your head ever stop?
The taste of blood encased in mud -
it aches on the top
You'll take a 7... and a SEVEN once more
Take it down, await the town, and break on the floor
You won't make it. Take it
You cannot sleep
Living day to day, it shakes you – they struck you deep
You're a blatant stranger changer until you're deceased
This is yours now, your pain to keep
Grab a cutlass, a rope, and frame from that shrine
Don't forget the angel sent from lord divine
Able men won't come, so it's just me and you
We need to show them why they're out,
They only knew
Table any thought because it's time to shine
Any disappointment come and meet me this time
In the wrong? Please... just take in that view
Can it for your sisters and your mothers too
You won't make it. Take it
You cannot sleep
Living day to day, it shakes you – they struck you deep
You're a blatant stranger changer until you're deceased
This is yours now, your pain to keep
Drift out in the ocean - Goshen. Take the leap
Shadows only haunt the children of the discreet
Sway until the day it makes it, they will fall right
Bright away the chains and stakes and fall down for the night

Baby I was out for milk the other day
Just where you sent me too
They were out of milk so I grabbed a bottle of bourbon
Now I'm coming home drunk to you
But you ain't got no
Loving like that
You ain't got no
Loving for me
You ain't got no
Loving like that
When I'm out drunk flat on my back
Will times ever change with all I do
Cause I've been boozing so long
I just want your sweet old loving
One more bottle then I'll stop
But you ain't got no
Loving like that
You ain't got no
Loving for me
You ain't got no
Loving like that
When I'm out drunk flat on my back

A Little Devil
03:52

|
I have loved you for some time
While all those other men wait in line
I've worn down my own
No conversation this time please
Then I saw the hole in the sky
That's when I heard the angel's cry
All the love that is in her eye
She just a little devil in disguise
All the love that is in her eye
Just a little devil in disguise
It was only in our dreams
I was there this time don't you, please
Writings on the wall they did scream
Your voice is never heard when it's this clean
Then I saw the hole in the sky
That's when I heard the angel's cry
All the love that is in her eye
She just a little devil in disguise
All the love that is in her eye
Just a little devil in disguise
So I'll tell you
How the story goes
Just lock me up with that bottle
The father, son, and the ghost
My heads on fire
My heart has turned to toast
I drank too much back then but
That's how she goes
That's how she
Then I saw the hole in the sky
That's when I heard the angel's cry
All the love that is in her eye
She just a little devil in disguise
All the love that is in her eye
Just a little devil in disguise
All the love that is in her eye
Just a little devil in disguise
All the love that is in her eye
She's just a little devil in disguise

Son of Ambrose
04:27
|

|
My name is William and I'm the son of Ambrose
I was born near that cast iron bridge
My mother Alice, she taught me to be a kind man
So I took it and shared it with my friends
I went to war at the age of 21
I came back with my memories and my gun
Took care of the family, my brother, too
Bareknuckle boxing every day at noon
When I came back from war
There was something missing there
I had a finger, so naked and so bare
Where would I ever find, my one true love
If I'm just patient she'll come from above
One day at the neighbours, I caught a flare
I fell in love with that Norwegian glare
We had a hippy, a cowboy and a scholar
Little tomboy and a toddler too
In 1947 I did my best
Started what you see before and I stood the test
Well life ain't always easy
In fact it's pretty tough
I hope you learned a thing or two about how I raised you up
Cause it's the best damn thing I ever done
That was a cold year in 1977
I left you all when I died and gone to heaven
Never got to say goodbye
Never got to give you hugs
Just remember, I love you all so much
In 1947 I met my wife
Her name is Phyllis and I made her my bride
Had a family with 5 kids
Most beautiful damn thing I ever did
Oh in 1947 I met my wife
Her name is Phyllis and I made her my bride
Had a family with 5 kids
Most beautiful damn thing I ever did
Oh my family it will be alright
Just hold onto each other through this life
Oh my family it'll be alright
Keep shinning your light

Completely, Sweetly
03:51

Hey you, you can't deceive me
I've laid down my tricks completely
Sweetly, waiting for you
Come on in and start to feed me
All the others they like to treat me
Like a love that they once knew
You
Cried me a river but those tears ain't cheap
Spitting those damn lies
Through them crooked, yellow teeth
I ain't trying to hate you for those sleepless nights
I should probably thank you for your time
For your time
You pulled me in just like that
Poisoned well, I can't come back
Bite down on your lip
The thought of it makes you sick
Gotta hide what's on the mind
Your brother's might be inclined to find out
What's in the air, all the secrets
You
Cried me a river but those tears ain't cheap
Spitting those damn lies
Through them crooked, yellow teeth
I ain't trying to hate you for those sleepless nights
I should probably thank you for your time
For your time
I should, I should probably thank you
I ain't, I ain't trying to hate you
I should, I should probably thank you
I ain't, I ain't trying to hate you
I should, I should probably thank you
I ain't, I ain't trying to hate you
I should, I should probably thank you
I ain't, I ain't trying to hate you
I should, I should probably thank you
I ain't, I ain't trying to hate you
I should, I should probably thank you
I should I should probably hate you
Hmmmmmmmmmmm

A Place I Hardly Know
04:00
|

Sitting right, I can see them pretty lights
Shining down below
What kind of town are you
Could I ride on through
While I hide out from the cold
Slurred thoughtful words and a grosse right turn
I think I found a place to go
A melancholy night with a pretty delight
I think I'll hide here while it snows
Chorus
On the road, staggering these streets at night
In a place I hardly know
I'm drunk again, making one night friends
I think it's time for me to go
Verse
The morning came, the sun forgot my name
That pounding head was a shame
That pretty delight, I looked at it in spite
And I rode on again
Each time I go my clothes don't fit no more
But I can still hear that music right
These hands keep playing
But the heart keeps a breaking
Night after night
Chorus
On the road staggering these streets at night
In a place I hardly know
I'm drunk again making one night friends
I think it's time for me to go
I'm drunk again making one night friends
I think it's time for me to go
I think it's time for me to go
I think it's time for me to
Go home

Mama loves her bacon, she loves it everyday
Early in the morning it's the only way to
Make her get up out of bed
Better get that mama fed
Mama it's time to eat
Come and get your morning meat
Mama loves her bacon, she loves it everyday
I love her so I'm making sure she gets her way
We've been waking up earlier these days, that's for sure
The bed is hardly ever made but that's alright with her
We've got a little more on our plates in more ways than one
But I'll still be making bacon in the morning for the ones I love
Mama loves her bacon, she loves it everyday
I love her so I'm making sure it's just the
Way she likes it crispy sweet
Slip them slippers on your feet
Mama it's time to eat
Come and get your morning meat
Mama loves her bacon
She loves it everyday
I love her so I'm making sure it's just the way
That mama loves her bacon
She loves it crispy sweet
It always gets her going
She loves that morning meat

Tiny Wooden Box

Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Huuuhhhhhhhhhhhh
Got a call today, to see if I want to pay
To bring my body home, if things ever did go wrong
Wouldn't mind to pay, to bring my body to lay
In a place I do, in a place I do call home
In a tiny wooden box
Yeah
In a tiny wooden box
I was going around those days
Thinking everything was so damn good
So why'd it go away
For all the ones who are gone
We've been missing you
These feelings are
So damn strong
I was going around those days
Thinking everything
Thinking everything
Would be ok
Huhhhhhhhh
Huuuuuuuuuh
What a time of year
It's very pleasant here
All the names I know
How the faces do grow old
All the hurting here
Each and every year
How we want it to
we want it to
we want it to be gone
So I'll write another song
Yeah
I'll write another song
I was going around those days
Thinking everything was so damn good
So why'd it go away
For all the ones who are gone
We've been missing you
These feelings are
So damn strong
I was going around those days
Thinking everything
Thinking everything
Would be ok
If time heals everything
If time heals everything
If time heals everything
Then why do I
If time heals everything
If times heals everything
If time heals everything
Then why do I
Still feel this pain
Oh
Still feel this pain
I was going around those days
Thinking everything was so damn good
So why'd it go away
For all the ones who are gone
We've been missing you
These memories are
Holding on
I was going around those days
I was going around those days
I was going around those days
Thinking everything
Thinking everything
Would be ok

Father John

Father John was a filthy man
But he loved his God
Sitting by his window late last night he sang a song
About the ways he put them wicked ones away
And on the other side of the mountains where they lay
On the other side of the mountains where they’ll stay
Rumours on the street
Well, I hear they’re coming true
That filthy man he caught 'em
Put 'em on a noose
Cause every word he said
The people ate out of his hand
With just one crying word
You could be dead
With just one crying word
You could be dead
They caught 'em up near Beckett Brook
When the crew came riding through
They rounded up they young boys
Chased 'em through the slough
I heard one drowned while the others
Hung around
Father John caught prey
With heavy eyes their momma’s
The came to weep
Looking down at their young boys
Father John did reap
Them away from the land
And all the families that they had
And on other side of the mountains where they lay
On the other side of the mountains where they’ll stay
Father John was a filthy man
But he loved his God
Sitting by his window late last night he sang a song
About the ways he put them wicked ones away
And on the other side of the mountains where they lay
And on the other side of the mountains where they’ll stay
The other side of the mountain’s where they lay
