Skeletons

Came to with a noose around my neck
Heard the distant shots
And the dust was dancing in the sunlight shaft
He said he's coming back I don't wanna die
But I'll be damned if I leave without my money
I told myself I wouldn't play this game
And here I am rolling the dice
I left my heart out on the field
And I haven't needed it since
But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't betting on one last chance
And I feel that old aching way down low
Got me thinking "Damn, everybody knows"
But there's nowhere to run
These troubles are my own
If I could learn to stay the game
Til the sunrise finds me again
Fortunes turn
Time rides away
So I came out on the other side
Not knowing what I'd find
You can spend your lifetime searching for beauty
Just to be forgotten
Or worse,
never known
So I tried to take it down to the bone
But no one wants their skeletons exposed
It broke my heart to leave but you know I had to go
I guess I should have known better
Than to try to get the cheddar
And I feel that old aching way down low
Got me thinking "Damn, everybody knows"
But there's nowhere to turn
These troubles are my own
If I could learn to stay the game
Til the sunrise finds me again
Fortunes turn
Time rides away

Flying down the road
Hours to go
And something don't feel right
Wind like a hatchet cutting in through the cracks
Here's Johnny in the dead of night
When all that you can hope for is the morning
Each day a blessing that you've been saved
All of your life
Try to do right
Still you're riding alone
Still you're riding alone
Is there any love in your heart?
Punching at the air
Didn't used to care
But that was a long time ago
Before they had me down on my knees and begging
Like Muddy "Baby, please don't go!"
Thought maybe if I held out just a little more
You might not want to leave
If truth is just the lies we tell ourselves
Here I am making believe
Better make 'em believe!
Is there any love in your heart?
Staring down the hall with the concrete walls
Where the cold iron keeps you inside
Death is a ransom in the valley of tears
Must've tangled with the wrong guy
Never let 'em tell you there's a war out there
They'll blind you in both your eyes
And like so many souls that came before
You won't know what you came here for
Is there any love in your heart?

Done With Love
03:56

If I could distill all this love
Or find a pill
It's wide eyes that never see
The junkie's life I would lead
But I'll never be your queen
I wear my heart on my sleeve
Throw down your cards
The house is lying
Don't mend broke hearts
I've seen 'em all
They're all the same
Let 'em burn let 'em bleed
You're giving old memories
To someone new
You caught me up
I'm done with love
If I could distill all this love
Or find a pill
Go out in your haze
I'll be back
Don't mend broke hearts
I've seen 'em all
They're all the same
Let 'em burn let 'em bleed
You're giving old memories
To someone new
You caught me up
I'm done with love

Drive Forever
03:18
|

Some days
I wish I could drive forever
I'd leave the past behind
Say it never crossed my mind
But see I've got things on my mind
And I wish I
I wish I could drive forever
Some days
Are turning out better than others
You were once a friend
And I didn't feel a thing
And now it's got me on my knees
And I wish I could drive forever
The sun streaming over my face
When hanging on to you is such a waste
But the sun was in my eyes
By the time I realized
You had me laughing again
Some days
I wish I could drive forever
I'd leave the past behind
Say you never crossed my mind
But see I've got you on my mind
And I wish I
I wish I could drive forever
The sun streaming over my face
When hanging on to you is such a waste

Losing Side of Town
03:12
|

Another day
Finds me downhearted
Miles away
So far from where I started
I call your name and you freeze me out
It hurts to the bone
Hurts to the bone
Hurts to the bone
And I count my winnings
On the losing side of town
It's hard to say when everything changed
I've been walking down these lonely streets for so long now
The years lost pace but I'm making up time
You’re damn right to look back
Right to look back
Coming up behind
Coming up behind
Coming up behind
And I count my winnings
On the losing side of town

Four Walls
04:38
|
|

Starin' at the same four walls again
Feeling like I did back then
Well it's easy come
And it's easy go
I got a box full of lyrics and a car full of gear
I got some songs that you wrote playing in my ear
And I haven't written a note in almost a year
Oh there was a time when I had dreams
I don't even know what that means anymore
And I found the note you left with your key
And I got the mix that you made for me
And I burned all the songs
But not to CD
Well there's a new lover here in the bed next to me
But I ain't been sleeping peacefully
The boy that I'm thinking of
He's out of reach
Oh and I can't seem to forget you
I don't even know if I want to anymore
Oh and I can't seem to forget you
I don't even know if I want to anymore
Time lingers on when you're gone
Time lingers on when you're gone

Colorado
04:00
|
|

Cold wind coming in from the north
We say our last goodbyes
I wish I could have met you before
It would have saved me a lot of crying
You could have saved me a lot of crying
I'm going back to Colorado
I'm going back
Going back home
Crawling through the mud and the rain
I only came here for the weather
Torn up feet and dirt on my name
They could have treated me a little better
They could have treated me a little better
I'm going back to Colorado
I'm going back
Going back home

Fast as Me
03:36
|
|
||
Dust and gravel on my shoes
Old familiar place that I know well
Fading in the rearview mirror
Looking back will lead you straight to hell
These wide old country roads that pull the corners of my mind
If I keep driving fast enough I might leave it all behind
The past was always waiting there
One step in front of me
Chasing down every dream
Just as fast as me
All the gold you hide away while your mines are caving in
Old friend I knew you when you didn't have a dime to give
If I could hold one wish for you
Oh don't you know it'd be
You'd forgive everything
Just as fast as me
Nothing here can hold me now
Oh don't you see my hand reach for the dial
Take a final look around
You won't recognize me when I'm gone
When the lights are dimming low and I'm closing down the years
The roar of the highway still ringing in my ears
I'll always hold a place for you
The one you could never see
I only hope you're racing there
Just as fast as me

On the day I was born
A soul left behind
A motherless child
No home to call mine
In my father's eyes
A face to remind
He was better at leaving
Than saying goodbye
A woman now grown
A man and his charms
Hard love at his hands
And I carry the scars
Still remember the morning
When I woke to find
He was better at leaving
Than saying goodbye
When the still waters rise
There's blood on the lake
A brick and a line
A fine grave they'll make
Don't cry for my loss
Don't pity my fate
He was never my love
He was no man of mine
Now the raven it caws
High noon's on its way
On the scaffold I stand
Cold eyes meet my gaze
They want my last words
I give no reply
Guess I'm better at leaving
Than saying goodbye

Out Here
03:49
|
|

At the end of the day
Your tired eyes are sinking low
These memories will all fade away
Players move in between
A painted box with sides
Who's to say baby what's real
And what's been a dream
A fire deep inside still remains
Cast your thoughts to the side
There’re things out here
That you won't understand
Keep rolling on
Rolling on
At the end of the day
Your tired eyes are sinking low
These memories will all fade away
Hang on tight to your dreams
Through the wasted years and time
Don't you know baby it's never as bad as it seems
A fire deep inside still remains
Cast your thoughts to the side
There’re things out here
That you won't understand
Keep rolling on
Rolling on
