Long Gone
02:17
|

I'll be gone, for so long
Don't you come around
Got me running all around
Where I am running?
I won't be found
Oh No no no no
Said you loved me once last time
I ran so fast I blew your mind
Oh no no no no
Now its time to go find what I had on my mind
Oh no no no no
Sadly it was never you;
I'd rather have sex with my shoe
Oh no no no no
I'll be gone, for so long
Don't you come around
Followed me right up a tree
And all the way down to Tennessee
Oh no no no no
It was time to give it up
So I ran her over with my truck
Oh no no no no

Achilles
02:24
|

I am a man, I am the wind
I am all your deepest sins
I am the sun, I am the moon
I am all your sweetest tunes
And when the time calls upon me, I will know where to go
The petals will fall past me as I find my way home
As I find my way home
I am Achilles on a mountain, Standing beside the hour glass, I am a hero, I am a thief
I am a resurrected man
And when the time calls upon me, I will know where to go
The petals will fall past me as I find my way home
As I find my way home
I am a rhythm, I am a beat
I am that curse walking down the street I am a cheat, I am a liar
I am no one's desire
And when the time calls upon me, I will know where to go
The petals will fall past me as I find my way home

The Recap
04:15
|
|||
Well we're all wasted in a bar somewhere downtown
When I man walks up and pokes me with a knife and says
"Man, I'm gonna send you to hell."
Well I took that knife, I stared him straight in the eyes
I said, "Oh, boy you better fuckin' run
I've been sittin' here just a-slammin' down beers
And now its time to have some fun"
Oh
Oh well he hit me hard, yeah he hit me good
And then I fell to the ground
But I kicked him fast, I kicked him real swift
And he came a tumblin' down
He took a stab at me and nearly cut my gut
But I kicked that knife to the floor
Then I took his head and slammed it into the bar
I don't think he'll come around no more
Oh
Well I've been drinkin' here for so many damn years
Tryin' to recap my life
Every night trouble finds my sight and I can't help but fight
With a bottle of Jack and a tin of skoal
I'll be stickin' around
Until the day a man will put me away and...
I can rest my soul
Well we're all wasted in a bar
Somewhere downtown
When a man walks up and pokes me with a knife and says
"Man, I'm gonna send you to hell."
Well I took that knife, I stared him straight in the eyes
I said "Oh boy this is the day."
Then I took that knife and stabbed it straight through my eye
And then I fell to my knees
Oh
Well I've been drinkin' here for so many damn years
Tryin' to recap my life
Every night trouble finds my sight and I can't help but fight
With a bottle of Jack and a tin of skoal
I'll be stickin' around
Until the day a man will put me away and...
I can rest my soul

Dead Love couldn't go no further
Proud of and disgusted by her
Push shove, a little bruised and battered
Oh Lord I ain't coming home with you
My life's a bit more colder
Dead wife is what I told her
Brass knife sinks into my shoulder
Oh babe don't know what I'm gonna do
I see my red head, messed bed, tear shed, queen bee
My squeeze
The stage it smells, tells, hell's bells, miss-spells
Knocks me on my knees
It didn't hurt, flirt, blood squirt, stuffed shirt
Hang me on a tree
After I count down, three rounds, in hell I'll be in good company
Dead Love couldn't go no further
Proud of and disgusted by her
Push shove, a little bruised and battered
Oh Lord I ain't coming home with you
My life's a bit more colder
Dead wife is what I told her
Brass knife sinks into my shoulder
Oh babe don't know what I'm gonna do
I see my red head, messed bed, tear shed, queen bee
My squeeze
The stage it smells, tells, hell's bells, misspells
Knocks me on my knees
It didn't hurt, flirt, blood squirt, stuffed shirt
Hang me on a tree
After I count down, three rounds, in hell I'll be in good company
In hell I'll be in Good Company

Manly Way
01:46
|

Hey there baby you sting like a bee
Everybody just wants to see what it is so sweet in you
Must be your honey seeping through
You shoot like a man
And you kick like a mule
You ain't no body's fool
Wearing them boots like you ranchin' all day
Must be off to a bounce in the hay
I like my coffee black, (Get that milk out of his coffee)
And I love my liquor straight (Well get that guy a whiskey)
With a chew in my lip (He's got tobacco in his mouth)
Now, that's the manly way
That's the manly way
Life should always be that way
Hey there baby you sting like a bee
Everybody just wants to see what it is so sweet in you
Must be your honey seeping through
You shoot like a man
And you kick like a mule
You ain't no body's fool
Wearing them boots like you ranchin' all day
Must be off to a bounce in the hay
I like my coffee black, (Get that milk out of his coffee)
And I love my liquor straight (Oh get that guy a whiskey)
With a chew in my lip (He's got tobacco in his mouth)
Now, that's the manly way
That's the manly way
Life should always be that way

Travellin' Man
03:41
|
|||
Well this is a song about a travellin' man who knows just what he wants
He thinks he's got it all figured out and tries not to take too much
He's spent a lot of time tryin' this and that and he knows just what he likes
And he ain't goin' back
Well I've got spiders in my bed and I've got slugs up on the wall
There's a black bee a flyin' round outside of my back door
I'm weather worn my shirt is torn I got dirt comin' out my ears From being gone all these years
Well one half of my head keeps singing songs of years of old While the other sheds its skin on aggregates of minerals
I'm a cask of oak, I'm whiskey soaked, been runnin' down the line
Aw pour me another one honey I'm doin' fine
I don't know where I belong but I know just what I like
Kicking up dirt while I'm on the run, double whiskey no ice
I don't know where I belong but I know just what I like
A pretty lady and sing along songs, it'll take me through the night
Well I got sand in my shoes and I got dirt between my toes
There's a calm before the storm I hear or so the story goes
I'm dancing in it now, got a sweaty brow, I can feel it coursing through my veins
Aw look out baby I'm comin' through when it rains
Well I don't know where I belong but I know just what I like
Kicking up dirt while I'm on the run, double whiskey no ice
And I don't know where I belong but I know just what I like
A pretty lady and sing along songs, it'll take me through the night
And I've been gone for so very long
Baby don't think twice, you know I'll be alright
I've got an absence without leave
I've got an ace tucked up my sleeve
With sticks and stones we'll take the throne
And make some history
And I don't know where I belong but I know just what I like
Kicking up dirt while I'm on the run, double whiskey no ice
And I don't know where I belong but I know just what I like
A pretty lady and sing along songs, it'll take me through the night

Honey You
03:03
|

Honey you are a rock and I am your land
And we will grow
Before the sun dries us up and turns us to sand
Do you remember when the ocean went mad
And we were to blame?
We ran to another world with lives to save
They were the ones who could fly
They flew so high
Then I looked into your eyes never understanding why
You would never run with me
While the world is turning upside-down
And all around and we are watching those birds in the sky
From the mountainside and you
Honey you are a rock and I am your land and we will grow
Before the sun dries us up and turns us to sand
Do you remember when the ocean went mad
And we were to blame?
We ran to another world with lives to save

Ballad For Janoski
05:14
|
|||
Sitting in your living room
While the sun is shining through
You see reflections, and the shadows they cast
When the demon grabs you, boy
You better run to mass
Oh
So we sing, until the demons gone
And we will play his games until we played them all
So we dance, the night away
He will turn his head in shame
As he walks away, hey, hey, hey
You fly so high, you can almost touch the sky
You breath so deep no one else can
Get no sleep
You float away all the problems we had today
But inside of you there's
A demon breaking through
Oh
So we sing, until the demons gone
And we will play his games until we played them all
So we dance, the night away
He will turn his head in shame
As he walks away

Down The Road
03:19
|
|||
Oh, well we run to the break of day
The old man groaned as we rolled away
Our women wept as we sped on by
We hung our heads low as they raised their flags high
Then we grabbed our guns and we shot away
Let's kill our brothers on a Saturday
Blood spills out, and our wounds were deep
Old Jesse James, well he won't even take a peep
So then we go on down that road
Breaking your backs and breaking your souls
Breaking your backs, yeah, breaking your souls
Momma said I'd die before I get old
War is over, now the grave's are deep
The sun goes down, just like my brother Ren's keep
You burned my house, then he raped my wife
Fall to my knees and I'm praying the Lord
That I can kill that fucker tonight
So then we go on down that road
Breaking your backs and breaking your souls
Breaking your backs, yeah, breaking your souls
Momma said I'd die before I get old
Oh, hey there dad, don't you know who I am?
No motherfucker, don't give a goddamn
So then we go on down that road
Breaking your backs and breaking your souls
Breaking your backs and breaking your souls
Momma said I'd die before I get old
Momma said I'd die before I get old
Momma said I'd die before I get old
Momma said I'd die before I get old
Momma said I'd die before I get old
Momma said I'd die before I get old

The Dead South
02:38
|
|||
Oh pass the rum on down the line it's getting pretty cold
It's been nine straight days of hell and burning fires in the snow
And I haven't seen my baby since that old black ship set sail
Still we're holding out 'till winter dies and hoping our strength prevails
The full moon peaks around the clouds as the grey wolves cry
The hour's getting late and we've drunk every bottle dry
Just one more march from dusk 'till dawn 'till we finally arrive
At the gates of those who long ago burned our houses and took our lives
And we'll sing
"We are the Dead South who came across the sea
To take back our lives and leave this land of misery
Our will is our weapon our hearts forever bound
Come on now tilt your bottle back and let’s go grab another round”
The wind is at our back the ground is shaking at our feet
Marching for the gates we pray the lord my soul to keep
For if we ever get ourselves out from this mess alive
I'll be singing this song for years to say I'm happy we survived

That Bastard Son
03:52
|
|||
Always lookin' out for number one
We never talk about that bastard son
Heading out to the liquor store
Never been without my baby before
Waiting in line just to have a drink
Guy beside you's puking in the sink
Oh
I don't feel no more
I just want liquor and dirty whores
Cause I don't care no more
(One two, one two three four)
When you walk out of that bar
You try and get in your car
With a girl hanging on your hip
You're getting ready for the big trip
Better give that girl just one more kiss
All that cocaine will leave you in a bliss
Oh
I don't feel no more
I just want liquor and dirty whores
Cause I don't care no more
No I don't care no more
You're heading on a one-way trip
Its blizzarding out so you take a dip
Then you look down at your phone
No message from your baby cause you're all alone
With all your cheat and all your lies
Your faithful father won't forgive
Your crimes
I don't feel no more
I just want liquor and dirty whores
Cause I don't care no more
No I don't care no more

Rolling deep when the, rivers high
I don't need no, womans cries
Scrounging round them, old dark halls
Watch the devil when hes ready to call
We run, we run, oh down south
Never look into those eyes of Satans wealth We run, we run, oh down south
People playing, with your heart Guns a firin', false start
Chest is heavy, with all your doubt
Children run and they scream they shout and
We run, we run, oh down south
Never look into those eyes of Satans wealth We run, we run, oh down south
Pockets empty, theres fire in the air Your heart is lonely, but you don't care Mindless games drive, you insane
Waiting for the milkman so you can kill you shame and
We run, we run, oh down south
Never look into those eyes of Satans wealth We run, we run, oh down south My heart it weeps, anytime you speak My heart it weeps, every time you creep My heart it weeps, anytime you speak My heart it weeps every time you creep
We run, we run, oh down south
Never look into those eyes of Satans wealth We run, we run, oh down south

Into The Valley
06:10
|

Don't you stray away from where you truly are
As the water's dripping down you'll go and find your faith
I know you want to know
But not knowing is what makes you whole
And we'll walk into the valley where the Piper Man will play
And you're looking for some answers
But that's where the gallow's wait
When the winds come you'll go and build your house
Your wife will bear you children: a son, two daughters
How will you keep the wolves out?
And we'll walk into the valley where the Piper Man will play
And you're looking for some answers
But that's where the gallow's wait
The day you go looking for your answers the tide pulls you out
No house, no son, no daughters: your quest is filling you with doubt
Beaten by defeat your head hangs between your knees
Driven mad with rage you go and you burn it all down
And we'll walk into the valley where a Piper Man still plays
And you find yourself no answers
But still the gallow's wait
And we'll walk into the valley where the Piper Man still plays
And you found yourself no answers
You have only diggin' a grave

Tore up the restraining order
I don't care I'm coming over
What your daddy said isn't going over too well
Don't you know not to kiss and tell?
Mother said "She's my brothers daughter,"
And I don't even know who's my father
I guess she's my cousin
But she needs some sweet loving anyway!
Pulled you out by your hair
If people ask I was never there
Come on baby and take a ride with me
Come on baby let's drive to the sea
It's a hot night driving down highway sixty
With my baby in the passenger seat
I roll down the window
And I lean my head back and put my foot to the floor
We're going faster and she's saying slow down [x4]
And I say no and she's saying slow down [x3]
And I say no and shes screaming slow down
And I say no, no
