Load the car and write the note Grab your bag and grab your coat Tell the ones that need to know We are headed north One foot in and one foot back But it don’t pay to live like like that So I cut the ties and I jumped the tracks For never to return Ah Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in Are you aware the shape I’m in? My hands they shake, my head it spins [...]

Hand-Me-Down-Tune
I dreamt of a suit a suit so fine I dressed my words in Sewn and tailor made with song in mind made of melody Stitched by threads of notes with perfect pitch, perfectly composed Sound in tune and key, a code of rhythm, and harmony But when I awoke my coat was worn and my words were [...]
Go To Sleep
Lay back, lay back, go to sleep my man Wipe the blood from you face and your hands Forgive yourself if you think that you can Go to sleep, go to sleep my man Twenty-one days lost at sea I fought For twenty-two years non-stop I’ve talked Through the desert, pissed drunk, and confused I walked I spit a tooth [...]

I Would Be Sad
I would be sad because you left me all alone. I would be sad because the lies that you had told. I would be sad because I got left by a girl that I adore. I would be sad because the love I had before. I meant what I said when I said I would settle down with you although I know it’s not something that you were asking me to do. And [...]

All My Mistakes
Shooting off vicious collections of words The losers make facts by the things they have heard And I find myself trying hard to defend them I made decisions some right and some wrong And I let some love go I wish wasn’t gone These things and more I wish I had not done But I can’t go back And I don’t want to ‘Cause all my mistakes They brought [...]
Pretty Girl From Chile
I’m no more than a friend girl I can see that you need more My boots are on my feet now My bag is by the door And the love and the attention That you need and ask me for Are weakened by my actions And lies that I have told I’m scared to think that I’ve abandoned you I’d like to say that I’m a faithful man but it [...]
Salina
Salina, I’m as nowhere as I can be Could you add some somewhere to me Ah Kansas I’m kneeling, ah Kansas please Cleveland, I ain’t never felt nothing so strong Been believing the words to my songs Ohio I’m leaving, Ohio I’m gone From town to town and state to state There’s people everywhere that try to capture us We stole the cash and left our [...]
Ballad of Love and Hate
Love writes a letter and sends it to hate. My vacations ending. I’m coming home late. The weather was fine and the ocean was great and I can’t wait to see you again. Hate reads the letter and throws it away. “No one here cares if you go or you stay. I barely even noticed that you were away. I’ll see you or I won’t, whatever.” [...]
