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

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

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

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

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

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

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
