Love You Anyhow
I'm heading South, I'm needing out you and me ain't meant to be anymore You've got a knack for pulling me back I wish you'd leave me be When I try to walk away you go and say some silly things Girl, you know just how to melt me down You still keep my knees shaking you still hold my heart and break it Girl, you know just how to let me down I still love you anyhow I still love you anyhow Your simple kiss can change my mind I'm Tennessee whiskey fueled, you got a bottle of wine We're heading South on 65 a couple of miles and heartbreaks left behind When I try to walk away you go and say some silly things Girl, you know just how to melt me down You still keep my knees shaking you still hold my heart and break it Girl, you know just how to let me down I still love you anyhow I still love you anyhow When I try to walk away you go and say some silly things Girl, you know just how to melt me down You still keep my knees shaking you still hold my heart and break it Girl, you know just how to let me down I still love you anyhow I still love you anyhow I still love you anyhow I still love you anyhow I still love you anyhow I still love you anyhow I still love you anyhow I still love you anyhow I still love you anyhow |
Moonshine
End of the week's not quite here yet Grab a 5 pack and some old cassettes We'll sit out in the moonlight Let the weekend take it's time South song on the radio No where to be, no place to go We can take our time Share the last can up in the headlights I - I - I wanna get out of this town Ri - i - ight off this unmerry go 'round I - I wanna get out of this one horse town By the moonshine, yeah 18 miles to the county line The last bit of gas to 129 To get out in the moonlight Let the weekend take its time South belle on the radio No where to be, no place to go We can take our time Another slow dance up in the headlights I - I - I wanna get out of this town Ri - i - ight off this unmerry go 'round I - I wanna get out of this one horse town By the moonshine, yeah By the moonshine fog corona on another cloudless night Park out by the isde of the road Just beyond city lights I - I - I wanna get out of this town Ri - i - ight off this... I - I - I wanna get out of this town Ri - i - ight off this unmerry go 'round I - I wanna get out of this one horse town By the moonshine I - I - I wanna get out of this town Ri - i - ight off this unmerry go 'round I - I wanna get out of this one horse town By the moonshine, yeah By the moonshine By the moonshine |

Wrong
My skin's on backwards my two left feet keep tripping me up on nothing 'Cause my one track heart is a one way street I don't feel anything I can't form thoughts worth thinking and even if I tried I'd be wrong Everything surrounding me everything I am I'll use myself against me we've all had days like these 'Cause my one track heart is a one way street I don't feel anything I can't form thoughts worth thinking and even if I tried I'd be wrong My one track heart is a one way street I don't feel anything I can't form thoughts worth thinking and even if I tried I'd be wrong I'd be wrong My skin's on backwards my two left feet keep tripping me up on nothing My one track heart is a one way street I don't feel anything I can't form thoughts worth thinking and even if I tried I'd be wrong I'd be wrong I'd be wrong I'd be wrong |
I Walk
I walk through these hallowed grounds the cold wind on my neck I think about a woman I'm sure to soon forget I groan softly, trembling the crows pick at my flesh I walk along the ridged side of the coin that owes my debts The hunters come hunting and time will take it's toll the odds are there against me in a land that owns my soul I walk through this empty land through these city streets not a sound among them brings a weakness to my knees the woman I've forgotten takes my hand and leads I walk along the ridged side of the coin that's been flipped for me I knew I had it coming took for granted all I'd known the odds are there against me in a land that owns my soul I knew I had it coming took for granted all I'd known the odds are there against me in a land that owns my soul The hunters come hunting and time will take it's toll the odds are there against me in a land that owns my soul |

Prison Bound Man
The trouble with the trouble that I find is my freedom will soon be out of time The lawman and the judges they don't seem to understand These are hard times for a prison bound man I've been at odds with the law most of my damn life I've made mistakes, I've pushed the limits but I always pay the price it's like I just don't learn my lesson like I just don't give a damn I'm not a sinner or a saint from where I stand I'm not a sinner or a saint from where I stand The trouble with the trouble that I find is my freedom will soon be out of time The lawman and the judges they don't seem to understand These are hard times for a prison bound man These are hard times for a prison bound man You'd think by now I'd know I'll get caught every time I cross the line I still drive way too fast down back roads I've been fined for having fines it's like I just don't learn my lesson like I just don't give a damn I'm not a sinner or a saint from where I stand I'm not a sinner or a saint from where I stand The trouble with the trouble that I find is my freedom will soon be out of time The lawman and the judges they don't seem to understand These are hard times for a prison bound man These are hard times for a prison bound man The trouble with the trouble that I find is my freedom will soon be out of time The lawman and the judges they don't seem to understand These are hard times for a prison bound man The trouble with the trouble that I find is my freedom will soon be out of time The lawman and the judges they don't seem to understand These are hard times for a prison bound man These are hard times for a prison bound man These are hard times for a prison bound man These are hard times for a prison bound man |
Timbercreek
Two years ending I hate the way that sounds Tomorrow I'll be on my way And you'll be hanging around But for now I'll give you one more night The last I'm gonna set my eyes on you We had our share of up and downs And a couple of tear drops shed We came together and we fell apart At my stubborn hammer head But for now I'll give you one more night The last I'm gonna set my eyes on you I could lie and say I'll see you around I could lie and say I'd hoped that we would drown So many things we left undone before we walk away But you won't care that we lived here anyway Hours on a mixtape with me hunched on this guitar Tomorrow I'll be on my way while the leaving hits me harder But you know I'll give you one more night A mattress on a floor in a concrete room We've come so far along From that zero-zero Monday On a Labour Day so overcast We couldn't see our way But you know I'll give you one more night A mattress on a floor in a concrete room With a candle or two I could lie and say I'll see you around I could lie and say I'd hoped that we would drown So many things we left undone before we walk away But you won't care that we lived here anyway And you'll stay here with a brand new coat of paint I could lie and say I'll see you around I could lie and say I'd hoped that we would drown So many things we left undone before we walk away But you won't care that we lived here anyway And you'll stay here with a brand new coat of paint |

In Circles
Staring down an uphill climb I'm killing gas and wasting time On the tail end of a mechanical/mental breakdown New strings, nickel wound I'm getting myself far away from town Out of the rug and on this empty highway I'm driving myself insane I'm driving myself in circles Overwhelmingly obsessive I'm in circles I'm in circles I'm in circles Stand alone in an empty room Nothing but me in front of you Spilling my guts to strangers who can't be bothered To stick around for a drink or two They'd rather stare at a screen Than to listen to blues Get me out of the rug and on that empty highway I'm driving myself insane I'm driving myself in circles Overwhelmingly obsessive I'm in circles I'm in circles I'm in circles I'm in circles What will you do when the music stops The end of the night and you've skipped the applause Making requests, asking for more Bribing the band like a common whore Tell me, what will you do when the music stops Nobody cared 'til the music stopped What will you do when the music stops Tell me, what will you do I'm driving myself insane I'm driving myself in circles Overwhelmingly obsessive I'm in circles I'm in circles I'm in circles I'm in circles I'm in circles I'm in circles I'm in circles I'm in circles |
Riverbend
I stumbled to water's edge Saw the bridges in the crest Waited for the flood to come in And washed away another sin I heard my mama cry Said she's leaving town tonight And when the flood came in I sat down by the riverbend I waited as the water rose Once it reached my toes I went home to pack a bag or two But took a shot or few When four horses crossed my path I wasn't a religious man But on my way out of town It made me raise a brow I thought, "Well Damn Ain't that grand again?" And when the flood came in I sat down by the riverbend And thought, "Well Damn Ain't that grand again?" And when the flood came in I found myself riverbend I thought, "Well Damn Ain't that grand again?" And when the flood came in I sat down by the riverbend And thought, "Well Damn Ain't that grand again?" And when the flood came in I found myself riverbend I stumbled to water's edge Saw the bridges in the crest Waited for the flood to come in And washed away another sin I heard my mama cry Said she's leaving town tonight And when the flood came in I sat down by the riverbend I thought, "Well Damn Ain't that grand again?" And when the flood came in I sat down by the riverbend And thought, "Well Damn Ain't that grand again?" And when the flood came in I found myself riverbend |

One More Shot...
The sunrise shining through my shades It burns my bloodshot eyes And my head feels like a hurricane It's burnt from too much shine I'll take a big ol' glass of dog hair To get me through the day I'm still a long, long way from home I need one more shot of moonshine To help me get the mood I'll take some ol' blue smoke In a mason jar to go I need me something stronger To hit me a little longer When you look me in the eye and send me home My car ran out of gas Somewhere in Eastern Tennessee And I got so stoned that Johnny Cash He came to hang with me The next few days are hazy And my Hank grin won't wear off You let it burn ' fore you swallow Take a whiskey for a chase and go I need one more shot of moonshine To help me get the mood I'll take some ol' blue smoke In a mason jar to go I need me something stronger To hit me a little longer When you look me in the eye and send me home I got this Hank grin And whiskey chase 20 hour days to get a taste I'm Nashville bound tonight I'm thinking you are too On this round trip to 2nd avenue I need one more shot of moonshine To help me get the mood I'll take some ol' blue smoke In a mason jar to go I need me something stronger To hit me a little longer When you look me in the eye and send me home When you look me in the eye and send me home When you look me in the eye and send me home |
Don't Let Me Break
I make a cold cup of coffee In a cold dark room I wake up from my sleep It's harder to move Days like this come often So I pick up and move on 'Cause I may not be myself you see But I'll try to be the man you need I just lose myself in the motions of the day So I just carry around my emotions 'til they break Don't let me break I keep myself together Though a song could take me down I'm softer than a feather a king without a crown Days like this come often So I pick up and move on 'Cause I may not be myself you see But I'll try to be the man you need I just lose myself in the motions of the day So I just carry around my emotions 'til they break Don't let me break I won't take this out on you It's me against my head No, I won't take this out on you Just let this storm come to an end 'Cause I may not be myself you see But I'll try to be the man you need I just lose myself in the motions of the day So I just carry around my emotions 'til they break While I just lose myself in the motions of the day I carry around my emotions 'til they break Don't let me break Don't let me break Don't let me break Don't let me break Don't let me break |
