Words can stab as deep as night. And cut like a razored thorn. Bitter air and the winds of spite. . Like the cold of winter's scorn. Leaves may fall on sleeping ground.
Well, I been spending all my money on weed n' pills. Trying to write a song that'll pay the bills. But it ain't came yet so I guess I'll have to rob a bank.
Hello, my son. Welcome to earth. You may not be my last. But you'll always be my first. Wish I'd done this ten years ago. But how could I know. How could I know.

You say that looks can be decieving. There's been rumours going 'round. One look at me is the same thing as believing. Everything you've heard without hearing a sound.
There's a voice that I can hear sometimes out here on the mountain. When it's dark and the sky is pouring acid like a fountain. Memories like coal dust stain the window of my eyes.
I've seen Jesus play with flames in a lake of fire that I was standing in. Met the devil in Seattle and spent 9 months inside the lions den. Met Buddha yet another time and he showed me a glowing light within.
Please don't think me a lazy man. Because I've been sitting around all day with the blues. I know how it looks but don't misunderstand. It's just that I can tell a storm's about to brew.
They say that life can decide in the blink of eye. if our silly little dreams will ever come true. But the dreams in my mind all go by so slow. What the hell else can I do.
Hey now, baby, you been on my mind. Search my dreams, darling. Your taste is all I find. Look at my heart dying. See my soul sinking down. You know how daddy likes his sugar, baby.
If you need a friend. Don't look to a stranger. You know in the end, I'll always be there. But when you're in doubt. And when you're in danger. Take a look all around, and I'll be there.
You could have told me you didn't care about me. You could have told me you was the cheating kind. I'd be out on the town running around. seeing what else I could find.
I'm getting pretty tired of the state things are in. Sometimes I feel like cutting a vein, just watching it bleed. I'm tired of laying it down, getting nothing on the other end.
Well they say you live & learn but it really seems more to me. Like all along I've been learning how to live. Well for years I been drifting like a boat lost out at sea.
Basically it's just like papaw says:. "Keep your mouth shut and you'll be fine". Just another enlisted egg. In the bowl for Uncle Sam's beater. When you get to Dam Neck.
I'd give anything to go back. Days I was young.. All the way back to Pan Bowl. I sit down on the lakebed. Stair at the sun.. Then I'd walk out in the water.
Come and gather around me good people. My life I must reveal. Well tomorrow might have been different. and I know how my darling ought to feel. . Well that last time I saw my woman.
Many a man down in these here hills. made a living off that old black gold. Now there ain't nothing but welfare and pills. and the wind never felt so cold.
Oh Sarah, here we go again. I can't get past the pain of what I want to say to you. I'm too old now to learn how to let you in. So I'll run away just like I always do.
Time and time again Lord I keep going through the motions. A means to an end but the ends don't seem to meet. Walking around living the dream anytime I take the notion.
