I been burning Bright
For so long I can’t remember
Pretty girls and late night bars seem to be my line of work
Believe me when I say, I can’t stay this high forever
This man’s had all he can stand, time to lay this body down
Sweet Annie
Can I stay with you a while
Cause this roads been putting miles on my heart,
Sweetheart I’ve been livin in a fantasy
But one day Lightning will strike
And my bark will lose it’s bite
Don’t’ give up on me
Sweet Annie.
Sweet Annie
I know I promised you a life
But an empty bed and the words I said don’t carry any weight
If I could take back yesterday, Find a way to start it over
Turn around, put that bottle down and pray it’s not too late
Sweet Annie
Can I stay with you a while
Cause this roads been putting miles on my heart,
Sweetheart I’ve been livin in a fantasy
But one day Lightning will strike
And my bark will lose it’s bite
Don’t’ give up on me
What will be will be
Sweet Annie.
Turn out the lights
These hands they long to hold you
Fall all over you
All over again
Come a little closer so I can show you
My heart still beats fast for you
All over, and over again
Sweet Annie
Can I stay with you a while
Cause this roads been putting miles on my heart,
Sweetheart I’ve been livin in a fantasy
But one day Lightning will strike
And my bark will lose it’s bite
Don’t’ give up on me
Sweet Annie.
I dive into frozen waves
Where the past comes back to life
Fight fear for the selfish pain
It was worth it every time
Hold still right before we crash
Cause we both know how this ends
Our clock ticks till it breaks your glass
And I drown in you again
Cause you are the piece of me
I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly
Still fight and I don't know why
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?
Walk on through a red parade
And refuse to make amends
It cuts deep through our ground
And makes us forget all common sense
Don't speak as I try to leave
Cause we both know what we'll choose
If you pull, then I'll push too deep
And I'll fall right back to you
Cause you are the piece of me
I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly
Still fight and I don't know why
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?
Why are you my clarity?
Why are you my remedy?
Why are you my remedy?
Why are you my remedy?
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?
Some saints have fallen from on high
Through cold stained glass
The fire's calling
Crawling down the burning match
Gold fires
The wicked bells they crash
No grave
To save me from my haunted past

Hey man, I know where the river goes
Hey man, you will reap what you sow
You can't find a way to take your heart
And make it fly away
So you can live another day without this pain
Better to've loved and lost
Than to never've loved at all
That's what they say
A black heart is gonna pay for what's it's done
Way down
Upon the cold, cold ground
Come down
The water's raging out
Hey man, I know where the river goes
Hey man, you will reap what you sow
Hey man, I know where the river goes
Hey man, you will reap what you sow
Hey man, I know where the river goes
We were driving to Birmingham, Alabama and my buddy Keith was driving the truck
And this lady about ran us off the road in a cadillac.
She just kinda smiled when she went by, and he has road rage and he said look at that Big Fat Bitch
So I grabbed my little travel guitar out of the back and went

Big fat bitch
she's a big ol big ol fat bitch
she goes to Ryan's and they say, "Shit!
this one's gonna cost us...
she's a big ol bitch!"
She's a big ol bitch
She sweats grits
you can hide a pound of dope
under one of her tits
Big fat bitch
She's a big ol bitch
Who stole Christmas?
The Grinch
Who stole the Twinkies?
big fat bitch!
She's a big ol bitch
Yeah she had this cajun friend
who had a pet alligator
She ate that some-bitch
like it was a green Now N Later
or a fried green da-mator
You'd have to have a turbo-foaming car wash brush
to masterbate her
She's a big ol bitch
She's a big ol bitch
When she was eight years old she had a Pogo stick that would say, "hey Wanda!"
And they'd go "song-tong-thong-song-tong-thong"
And now her pogo stick says, "HOLY FUCKING SHIT!"
And they go "Bount. Bount."
She's a big ol bitch
She's a big ol bitch
She gargles and drools and spits
and she makes all kinds of noise
She chases the ice cream man down Cunningham
in her corduroys
She's a big ol bitch
She's a big ol big fat bitch!!!!
She was something in her formative years
She'd hide her accent, it would reappear
When she would brag on what Daddy Bought last night
Only pretty girls were in that crowd
They'd tease a handful of poor kids out loud
And even then I knew it wasn't right

Smoke rises,
You were never kind
Good news,
I've left you all behind
Some who
Hoped that it would last
Smoke rise, I'm glad you're in my past
Most of the kids were better than me
Or at least they thought so,
And it was plain to see
That children are cruel
And I didn't have a fighting chance
I wasn't a jock, I wasn't a brain
We weren't well-off and Mama couldn't explain
Why no one would take a poor boy to the dance
Smoke rises,
You were never kind
Good news,
I've left you all behind
Some who,
Hoped that it would last
Smoke rise, I'm glad you're in my past
[x2]
Those bold rich kids find it hard to embrace
When they bus black kids in from all over the place
The county tried to prove their schools were all the same
Old Jim Crow tried to integrate
But in the South its hard to relate
When Grandpa used the n-word with no shame
Oh, Smoke rises,
You were never kind
Good news,
I've left you all behind
Some who,
Hoped that it would last
Smoke rise, I'm glad you're in my past
You come walking in to the room with a smile on your face
And I keep wondering what a girl like you is doin' in this place
I catch your eye, you're lookin' at me and I spill my drink
From over here, that smile on your face it makes me think
Can you make me want to be a better man?
You got to have strength to bring me back from where it is I've been
Can you make me want to be a better man
Cause I'm gonna need, every little bit of your love
(Every little bit, every little bit, every little bit of your love)
Last time I held a woman in my arms this tight
I thought she was anything and everything I'd ever really need in my life
But just like every other woman she couldn't handle my foolish ways
And if you're lookin' for a lover there's a few things I have to say
Can you make me want to be a better man?
You got to have strength to bring me back from where it is I've been
Can you make me want to be a better man
Cause I'm gonna need, every little bit of your love
(Every little bit, every little bit, every little bit of your love)
Coming down, yeah, she covers me
Every bit of a lady
And casting down my anxiety
My, oh my, isn't she lovely?
Can you make me want to be a better man?
You got to have strength to bring me back from where it is I've been
Can you make me want to be a better man
Cause I'm gonna need, every little bit of your love
(Every little bit, every little bit, every little bit of your love)

Cried all night when you told me that I'd lost you
I died inside as I watched you walk away
And all this time I didn't doubt your reasons
But I can't heal what you can't replace
But now I sleep like a baby,
And all my dreams come true
'Cause the rest of my life has nothing to do with you
Credit: http://www.golyrics.web.id
Pulled up my favorite chair at my favorite tavern
I turned to see you standing there with envy in your eyes
And I saved your life from 13 years of anger
But I broke every bone on the way home swinging at the sky
Now I sleep like a baby,
And all my dreams come true
'Cause the rest of my life has nothing to do with you
Stumbled in to find you cryin' in the kitchen
I argued with a broken heart and fabricated pride
And the battle raged for hours, but I didn't have the power
To make you understand so you turned and said goodbye
Now I sleep like a baby,
And all my dreams come true
'Cause the rest of my life has nothing to do with you
Now I sleep like a baby
And all my dreams come true
'Cause the rest of my life has nothing to do, nothing to do, nothing to do with you
I went down to Houston
And I stopped in San 'Antone
I passed up the station for the bus
I was trying to find me something
But I wasn't sure just what
Man I ended up with pockets full of dust
And I went down to Cleveland, that's where I went insane
I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance
I was spending money like the way it likes to rain
Man I ended up with pockets full of cane

Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go?
Oh my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home
Never been to Vegas, but I gambled up my life
Though the newsprint boats are raced in sewer mains
Was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what
Funny how they say that "some things never change"
Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go?
Oh my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home
And out here in the city seems like things are closing in
The sunset's just my light bulb burning out
I miss Kentucky and I miss my family
All the sweetest winds they blow across the South
Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go?
Oh my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home
May you one day carry me home.
I passed out last night and I never made it home.
Wound up on a bus to San Antone.
My head hurts bad and I ain't wearing shoes.
Going to find my wallet and my way home to you.
We're gonna make this day.
A little better than the last.
It's amazing how slow days like this can go.
Find a way to wash away.
Any regret you have don't let this moment pass.
Live inside this day.

I got cuffs on my hands.
Chains on my feet.
Got locked up for the second time this week.
And I know I make you cry but girl my love is true.
Going to find my wallet and my way back home to you.
We're gonna make this day.
A little better than the last.
It's amazing how slow days like this can go.
Find a way to wash away.
Any regret you have don't let this moment pass.
Live inside this day.
Now I'm back on the street.
Thumb in the air.
Don't know how the hell that I got here.
But I'm gonna hitch that ride.
If it's the last thing I do.
Gonna find that wallet and bring it home to you.
We're gonna make this day.
A little better than the last.
Know don't you let this life come whoop your...
Find a way to wash away.
And regret you have.
He was born in the woods
Torn from his home.
Well, he was naked,
And destined
To be out on his own.
And he waited in darkness,
Hoping someone might see,
From something so rough,
What a treasure he'd be.

Stronger than steel and wood.
Seen me through the bad and good.
And when I'm hanging by a string,
Every little thing
Is understood
Between Martin and me.
Well he's hollow in the middle
From the shape that he's in.
He's either filled up with music
Or locked in his shell again.
And it takes some fine tuning
To make him come around,
But he's a huge piece of me
And I'll never put him down.
Stronger than steel and wood.
Seen me through the bad and good.
And when I'm hanging by a string,
Every little thing
Is understood
Between Martin and me.
He is a good friend,
And he has his own voice.
And you get what you give;
Sometimes it's just noise.
But if you treat him well
He will last your life long.
And if you're honest and open
Well, he will write you a song.
(Write you a song, write you a song)
Stronger than steel and wood.
Seen me through the bad and good.
And when I'm hanging by a string,
Every little thing
Is understood
And when I'm hanging by a string,
Every little thing
Is understood
Between Martin and me.
Whooooooooooa whooooooa whooooa who knows
When I was a baby child
My daddy said to me
Many mountains we must climb
Before we'll be free
But he never told me
About the bruises on my knees
How they would be the map that leads him where we need to be
And oh that storm came down
Forty days, forty nights
Credit: http://www.golyrics.web.id
Who knows
What the thunder and lightning will bring
Maybe the storm will cover my dreams
Maybe the sun will shine no more
Who knows
Which way the wind is blowing
And when we look back on these things
We won't cry no more
Whoooooooooa whooooooa whooooa who knows
Wandering blindly
Searching for the truth
And anchored to a solid rock
That we could hold on to
But there's no tomorrow
Not for everyone
Who will hear your last harsh words
When your time on earth is gone
Ooooh that storm came down
Forty days, forty nights
Who knows
What the thunder and lightning will bring
Maybe the storm will cover my dreams
Maybe the sun will shine no more
Who knows
Which way the wind is blowing
And when we look back on these things
We won't cry no more
Whoa tilt the lamp now
Don't let the wind blow it out
Oh guide the light child
Cause one day it's gonna shine
Sing up till the darkness it is lifted
Sing up till the darkness it is lifted
How come all the pretty girls like you are taken baby
I've been looking for someone like you to save me
Life's too easy to be so damn complicated
Take your time and I'll be waitin'
[Chorus:]
Keep me in mind
Somewhere down the road you might get lonely
Keep me in mind
And I pray someday that you will love me only

I think about you somedays
And the way I would lay and waste a day after day with you
We always go our separate ways
But no one can love you baby the way I do
[Chorus:]
Keep me in mind
Somewhere down the road you might get lonely
Keep me in mind
And I pray someday that you will love me only
[Bridge:]
Well the world can be real tough
Find shelter in me
If there's no one else to love
Keep me in mind
If ever you wanted me, I'll be your man
I'd be a fool to let you go with someone else
Whatever you want from me, I'll be your man
I'd give it all up just to have you for myself
[Chorus:]
Keep me in mind
Somewhere down the road you might get lonely
Keep me in mind
And I pray someday that you will love me only
Well the world can be real tough
Why don't you hold on to me
When there's no one else to love
Keep me in mind
(Keep me in mind)
And I'll hold you darling
(Keep me in mind)
I'll be your man
(Keep me in mind)
I'll hold you darling
(Keep me in mind)
C'mon little mama
Put it on me
We never spoke a word
But every thought she had I heard
From across the room
We were standing face to face
I couldn't find the words to say
Gimme one more move
I don't even know her name
I guess foolish pride's to blame

Now I'm falling in love as she's walking away
And my heart won't tell my mind
To tell my mouth what it should say
I may have lost this battle
Live to fight another day
Now I'm fallin in love as she's walkin away
Wise man next to me did say
about the one that got away
Son I missed my chance
Don't you let regret take place
Of the dreams you have to chase
Ask her to dance
(Go on son)
You might fall down on your face
Roll the dice and have some faith
But don't be fallin in love as she's walkin away
When your heart won't tell your mind
To tell your mouth what it should say
May have lost this battle
Live to fight another day
Don't be fallin in love as she's walkin away
You might fall down on your face
Roll the dice and have some faith
Don't be fallin in love as she's walkin away
When your heart won't tell your mind
To tell your mouth what it should say
May have lost this battle
Live to fight another day
Don't be fallin
Fallin in
Fallin in love as she's walkin away
A man's blood runs hot
As high as the temple will go
Though we can deny our nature, baby
It makes us less in control

With secrets that she only knows
Oh she gives and she takes with each wave that she makes
And it's to her that I must go

She'd trade Colorado if he'd take her with him
Closes the door before the winter lets the cold in,
And wonders if her love is strong enough to make him stay,
She's answered by the tail lights
Shining through the window pane
[Chorus:]
He said I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then
She said you're ramblin' man
You ain't ever gonna change
You gotta gypsy soul to blame
And you were born for leavin'
At a truck stop diner just outside of Lincoln,
The night is black as the coffee he was drinkin',
And in the waitress' eyes he sees the same 'ol light shinin',
He thinks of Colorado
And the girl he left behind

Got a gypsy soul to blame
And you were born for leavin'(born for leavin')
Well it's a winding road
When your in the lost and found
You're a lover I'm a runner
We go 'round 'n 'round
And I love you but I leave you
I don't want you but I need you
You know it's you who calls me back here
Oh I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then
Cause I'm a ramblin' man
I ain't ever gonna change
I gotta gypsy soul to blame
And I was born for leavin' (born for leavin')
And when I close my eyes I see you
No matter where I am
I can smell your perfume through these whispering pines
I'm with your ghost again
It's a shame about the weather
I know soon we'll be together
And I can't wait till then
I can't wait till then
I hear the waves
Sun beatin' down on my shoulders
It's a near-perfect day
Wishin' I wouldn't get any older
They say that it's gone 'fore you know it now
Quiet your mind
Soak it all in
It's a game you can't win
Enjoy the ride

I feel the change
Goin' on all around me
It's strange
How I'm taken and guided
Where I end up right I'm needed to be
Quiet your mind
Soak it all in
It's a game you can't win
Enjoy the ride
At the end of the water
A red sun is risin'
And the stars are all goin' away
And if you're too busy talkin'
You're not busy listenin'
To hear what the land has to say
Quiet your mind
I hear the waves
Sun beatin' down on my shoulders
It's a near-perfect day
Wishin' I wouldn't get any older
They say that it's gone 'fore you know it and
Soak it all in
It's a game you can't win
Enjoy the ride

Whiskey's gone but I ain't leaving.
There's got to be a bottle in the back.
Whiskey's gone but I ain't leaving.
Got to get this devil off my back.
Well I stumble my way into my local bar.
Where I saw the devil in my glass.
The bartender told me it was time to go.
I told him that he could lick my sack.
Whiskey's gone but I ain't leaving.
There's got to be a bottle in the back.
Whiskey's gone but I ain't leaving.
Got to get this devil off my back.
Kentucky, Tennessee, you better find Whiskey.
Not leaving that's a fact.
Small batch sour mash.
Red nose, red face, gonna wreck the whole place.
Looking through the bare glass.
Bald head chapped ass gone...
It's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.
Lord it's a hard thing to overcome to wake up and find the
Whiskey's gone.
Whiskey's gone but I ain't leaving.
There's got to be a bottle in the back.
Whiskey's gone but I ain't leaving.
Got to get this devil off my back.
Fell to my knees with a knife in my back,
Never thought you'd be the kind to do something like that,
But you did
Cold hearted
You talked so sweet, and your smell it made me weak,
And I fell so fast that I never thought to ask
If you were
Cold hearted

An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
I want someone to hurt you, make you die the way I do
I don't think that I could be so
Cold hearted
Pretty little words covered your dark and crooked heart
With a forked tongue I fell in love,
Then I fell apart
You are so
Cold hearted
Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
I want someone to hurt you, make you die the way I do
I don't think that I could be so
Cold hearted
An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
Want someone to hurt you, make you die the way I do
I don't think that I could be so
Cold hearted
I play the road,
And the highway is our song,
And every city's like the same three chords
Been helping us along when the story's told
And the crowd has come and gone
Shaking off the miles and trying to make it home

Every exit is a season,
Every signal is a beacon
And the wind, it carries me
And it eases up my load
Everyday I drag the turns
Every candle still burns
And every lesson I have learned
Brings us closer to the crowd
I play the road,
And the highway is our song,
And every city's like the same three chords
Been helping us along when the story's told
And the crowd is done and gone
Shaking off the miles and trying to make it home
Well the bus it is our steeple,
It brings us to the people
And they will be there waiting,
Dancing young and old
And every one of us gets tired,
But every one remains inspired
And every one of us require
To keep picking through our souls
I play the road,
And the highway is our song,
And every city's like the same three chords
Been helping us along when the story's told
And the crowd is done and gone
Shaking off the miles and trying to make it home
She says, "Daddy where do you go
When you leave me all these nights
With a suitcase and guitar in your hand?
Kissing me and mom goodbye with a tear and a smile,
Where do you go,
Daddy where do you go?"
I play the road,
And this highway is our song,
And every city's like the same three chords
Been helping us along when the story's told
And the crowd is done and gone
Shaking off the miles and trying to make it home
Shaking off the miles
(Shaking off the miles)
(Mile after mile)
Mile after mile
Baby, I'm coming home
