(steven dale jones/gerald body/billy henderson). (track 9 - time 3:34). . On any given day I'll catch myself. Talking to yur memory that's all I have left.
Life turns into matter. The form itself is minimal. All the elements are free. Transform into life. . The cycle is power. The secret lies within. Completing the origin.
There's blood caked on the shoebox.. Letters inside spell out words that start with a 13 year old heart. that a string of mishaps ripped apart.. There's blood on crossed out mix tapes..
Be brave but is brave. Brave enough. (2X). . Being brave is way more than this. Change your pride. Switch your eyes. Your mind will feel the difference.
Starting the car, I turn off the E brake.. A three point turn and I'm driving.. Hands are at 10 and 2.. Two eyes, a head blocking out two minor problems..
Go tell the sheriff, John Roland Wood's found Jesus. Now he's living at the foot of the cross. He testified on the main drag this evening. Said he's gonna spread the gospel to the lost.
White dress. Cold eyed smile stretched across the mirror. She shows up, sings high. I try not to hear her. She's a virus of fresh starts. Puts you to bed with a pounding heart.
(clay blaker/jim lauderdale). (track 1 - time 2:46). . It's only 'cause you're lonely, that you're wanting me. I'm just a way to get you through your misery.
Staring in a daze at this empty page. Waiting for a thought to move me. Black pen ready to fly across the lines. How many million times will I think of nothing.
For god's sake open a window.. The storm looks frightening through the glass.. But you could use something to turn the burn off.. You keep asking: how long will I last?.
This time I'm writing a song for you.. I don't care who hears it.. I don't care how long the feeling lasts.. Tonight I want you here and nude or clothed and laughing..
Forgot to thank you for the charm,. You hung like a star in my dark room.. Pictures of you hanging out. Burst out of albums like full moons.. So glad you came over tonight,.
I heard you cry yourself to sleep. And wake up in the night and walk the floor. And I heard you try to tell me something. Just as I was runnin' out the door.
Somewhere between birth and here the ground gave way.. Suddenly I was submerged.. While cogs, gears, and pistons rumbled in the distance, a dead kid sank,.
Well, it seems these days everybody's in a hurry. First to get the worm them birds are losin' their minds. Well, I can say I don't like wakin' up that early.
The thought had never crossed my mind. That a friend would rob me blind. Of the only thing that I've been living for. You knew just what she meant to me.
Another youthful plan gets dragged ashore.. One more angel fails her pregnancy test.. Diploma dangles amid grade school photos.. Yearbook autographs are my only connection..
Well hello there, when did you get back in town?. Pull up a chair, tell me why you look so down?. I'll order us some coffee, we can talk about old times.
Well, I changed my ways to please that woman. But I could never be good enough. I gave up drinkin' and took up churchin'. And for awhile it wasn't tough.
I do my best to fit in. I work hard for the man. Big city corporate land under my feet. But when the week is through. I get back my country roots. They can all just kiss my Tony Lama boots.
