Driving to New Orleans in the snow
We stopped off on the side of the road
you tried your best to ease my mind
and let me know that you're mine
its a long long drive
mardi gras
we woke up late in a hotel room
no need to worry we'll be there soon
driving 90 down the interstate
no need to hurry you won't be late
its a long long drive
Mardi gras
we left town on the sixth sunset
slept outside in the parking lot
I woke up tired with the wheel in my hand
felt you slipping again
its a long long drive
mardi gras
missed my turn in Tennessee
you woke up tired and and angry
your blood red eyes they spell it out
I packed my shit and I moved out
its a long long drive
such a long long drive
such a long long drive
mardi gras

Adopt A Highway
03:43

Go on hit the road
hit it while its worth while
let it swallow you whole
like you are an aspirin
go out and hug
hug the great wide open
like its a friend
a friend you know is passing
our minds and memories
are pigeons
dirty and diseased
they're never tired of drifting
oh let it all flatten you into its twin
oh yeah we'll be broke but we'll never be broken
oh yeah we'll be broke but we'll never be broken
go on hit the road
like a rug pinned to a clothesline
you'll go with the dust
in the morning looks awful but it belongs to us
and we will gawk
alzheimers stare into the sky
and the sky looks back
like a caring relative
our minds memories are pigeons
dirty and diseased
they're never tire of drifting
oh let it all flatten you into its twin
oh yeah we'll be broke but we'll never be broken
oh yeah we'll be broke but we'll never be broken
oh let it all flatten you into its twin
oh yeah we'll be broke but we'll never be broken
oh yeah we'll be broke but we'll never be broken

A Lovely Conversation
04:52
|
|||
Let it fall with the ashes
cause yesterday has finally begun
and now we're walking down a mountain
riding high like the bullets from the smoking gun
so what if nothing happened
we were out there having fun
momentary satisfaction
cause we were young and way to dumb
and baby I know
these things change
yeah baby I know
that these things change
feels like I'm running for the police
like I stole twenty dollars from your mamas purse
now were hiding in the shadows
waiting for the doctor to bring the cure
if you still love me tomorrow
when all the moneys gone
you'll still love me tomorrow
when everythings gone wrong
but baby I know
these things change
yeah baby I know
these things change
such a lovely conversation
and now I wish we never met
cause baby I know
these things change
such a lovely conversation
and now I wish we never met

In The Wind
03:12
|

theres an answer
I just can't give you
its still hanging
there on the vine
ah go and let it rot boy
it'll be alright
sometimes the rotten truth
makes for a real good wine
take a look at those last leaves
hanging on their own
like gifts two and from people
before their hearts got broke
oh you threw em all away
oh your heart got full of junk
if I had my way my heart would be a vaudeville trunk
but its in the wind
its in the wind
its where Ive always been ever since
its in the wind
its in the wind
its where I've always been ever since
theres a song that I just can't sing you
but what the hell
ill go and give it a try
and go and let it rot boy
it'll be alright
sometimes the rotten truth makes for a real good time
its in the wind
its in the wind
its where ive always been ever since
its in the wind
its in the wind
its where ive always been ever since
its where ive always been even since
its where ive always been

Cryin' Shame
03:33
|
|||
Well Grandad built that house of his
with his own two hands
and he'd rock mama on his knee
out on the porch in a swing
He hoped that one day she'd have a boy
who'd grow and be as strong as he
and I hope I don't disappoint
thats just me being me
its a cryin shame they say
that drugs and alcohol pave the way
for fools like me
well mama was the first born of grandads two children
and I was the first born of my mothers own two children
I promised id grow up real tall and carry on my grandads good name
but I keep on fucking up and putting that name shame
Its a crying shame they say
that drugs and alcohol pave the way
for fools like me
well cigarette machines
they empty up the dreams of plenty gone to waste
and the ashtray is overflowing with all the dreams that I threw away
its a crying shame they say
that drugs and alcohol paved the way for a fool for a fool like me

Elvis The Lion

He sings like a lion
so proud of his pride
he sings just like Elvis
before he died
inside
such a shame
such a shame
such a shame
such a shame
she sings like an angel
she just fell from his sky
she sings like a poet
so happy to die
walk away
walk away
walk away
walk away
a little love and laughter
just enough to hurt
just enough to capture
what life's really worth
celebrate
celebrate ... life
celebrate
celebrate ... love
celebrate
celebrate .. life
celebrate
celebrate .. love
love love love
love love love
love love love
love love love

A Life In Progress
05:21
|

well I'm thinking about packing it up
this life on the road without love
just turning the van around and coming back home
yeah Im thinking about giving it up
this dream don't reciprocate love
its as cold as ice
in the middle of July
it won't be my saving grace
cause at the bottom of the bottle is my face
and just 'round the corner
I heard them say
it might the last time they play
so you're thinking about heading out west
reconnecting with all your old friends
its the same old story
honey that story don't end
me I'm thinking about headed back east
got a friend with a room and job for me
says I might just find myself a little bit of peace
but it won't be my saving grace
at the bottom of the bottle is my face
and just round the corner I heard em say
it might be the last time they play
I'm thinking about giving it up
cause this dream don't reciprocate love
its as cold as ice in the middle of july
you know Im thinking about packing it up
this life on the road without love
just turning the van around and coming on back home

Don't Wanna Be Lonesome
03:00
|
|||
I'm trading in this rusty old heart
for one that knows how to beat
your long black hair
your pretty brown eyes
staring right back at me
I dont wanna be lonesome
I dont wanna be loved
im not sure what Im asking
I just wanna give us a shot
you answer quite quickly
in telling me no
you just don't think I'm your type
I drink too much
aint got no tattoos
you just don't wanna waste your time
I dont wanna be lonesome
I dont wanna be loved
im not sure what I'm asking
I just wanna give us a shot
Im waking up in your bed
sleeping right next to you
my arms wrapped tight around your waste
a feeling I hope isn't through
I dont wanna be lonesome
I dont wanna be loved
im not sure what I'm asking
I just wanna give us a shot
you know I just wanna give us a shot

When I Get Back
03:18
|

Im going down where my love won't mean a thing
cause were all pining for something to speak of
when I get back
I might be a little worse
but will you
will you still love me
Im falling fast like a bird thats lost its feathers
thats been pining for a note to deliver
when I get back
I might not say a word
but will you
will you still love me
I'm facing down like a drunkard in the river
who's been fighting for all he can't remember
when I get back
I can't promise ill be sober
but will you
will you still love me
I'm going down in a suit made for the winter
it was tailor made for a sinner
when I get back
I might be in a hurst
but will you will you still love me
I'm going down in a suit made for the winter
it was tailor made for a sinner
when I get back
I might be in a hurst
but will you
will you still love me
but will you
will you still love
