Wake up momma, we got a little, we got a little to do
Get the children, they're going to want to hear it too
600 strong to cross the Edmond Pettus bridge
We won't stop for no law man until they get it fixed
We all dream of being lonely
I know it's not an easy thing to do
We got to get what is left of yours and mine
If not we all lose
Calm down momma, we got to find a place to hide
the law men came without warning, they came for our lives
Calm down momma, honey, now honey don't you cry because there's a man around the corner and it's either you or I
We all dream of being lonely
I know it's not an easy thing to do
We got to get what is left of yours and mine
If not we all lose
So wake up momma, we got a little, we got a little to do
The King has came with his men and they want you
To march strong across that Edmond Pettus bridge
We won't stop for no law man, until it gets fixed

Miles and miles away
the dreams drift away
you wont give us a dime
much less give us the time
excuse my message
i feel like we're dying
you wont give a damn
but we're still trying
we're all just ashes of burned out stars
and that's what we are
we're on the road again
bringing in women and men
you wont give a damn
or much less give us a hand
We give you everything
money and diamond rings
you wont give us a thing
you will believe me when I say

Good for Nothing
03:02
|
|||
You are good for nothing but the goodness in my head
You are good for nothing as you lie awake in bed
And I'm immune
You are good for nothing but the goodness in my head
You are good for nothing as I lie awake in bed and I'm amused
And the killers always looking for something but I got nothing new
You are good for nothing but the goodness in my head
You are good for nothing so I stare at you in bed
And I'm immune
You are good for nothing but the goodness in my head
You are good for nothing so I kill you dead instead
And I'm amused
But the killer always looking for something I got nothing
new

Lonely
03:23
|
|||
She steals the morning
From a sunset still on water
She brightens the day
While clouds precipitate from clutter
She’ll light up the night with lighting strikes
It’s followed by trails of thunder
Unlike the storm, decorated in scorn
She’s left with fear of wonder
She’s lonely, lonely
She lies in the bed
While nobody’s there, covered
In a sheet that adheres and covers up her tears of suffer
Day by day she’ll anticipate
You’ll return to her without flowers
But with open arms and your James Dean charm
and your pedestal for her still towers
She’ll walk across land
That’s been left by man
All of it undiscovered
Through all the hills, the creeks, and the fields
If you were there left to love her

Lost
03:58
|
|||
When I wake up, her reminisce beside our bed
I get up and try to think of the reasons that she gived
For leaving, but the voice inside my head keeps trying to not let me forget that i'm not giving in
I’m feeling like i’m lost without her I'm not giving in
I’m feeling like i’m lost without her I'm not giving in
I’m feeling like i’m lost without her I'm not giving in
I’m feeling like i’m lost without her
My heart feels that it’s best
Don't want to make up, for the words that I might have said
In the courtyard I'm wondering where that she had might of been
And when, did this voice inside my head keep trying to not let me forget that i'm not giving in
I’m feeling like i’m lost without her I'm not giving in
I’m feeling like i’m lost without her I'm not giving in
I’m feeling like i’m lost without her I'm not giving in
I’m feeling like i’m lost without her
My heart feels that it’s best
I’m not giving in
I’m feeling like i’m lost without her I'm not giving in
I’m feeling like i’m lost without her I'm not giving in
I’m feeling like i’m lost without her I'm not giving in
I’m feeling like i’m lost without her
My heart feels that it’s best

Hold On My Heart
02:50
|
|||
I'm losing now, but I’m ready to win
These dark subtle eyes are ready to pen
The story, I know, is ready to begin
My heart belongs to you
I have no reason to lie
I got you by my side
For no reason at all
You have a hold on my heart
My deceitful heart is ready to end
My honest heart is ready to pen
The story, I know, is ready to begin
My heart belongs to you

My Darling
03:14
|
|||
I don't like how I'm living
I know that nothing is going to change
and I'd give up my last lone dime just for you
I saw all the warnings
That there would be no today
That wouldn't change the fact my dear
That I'd stay
I know that you were just living
for no one but yourself
I have a feeling my dear, that's not best
Life is short because of dying
One ends everyday
For this my dear, I won't stay
I loved you my darling
I guess there's nothing left to say
Except, I love her my dear
The same way

Eyes Without a Face
04:02
|
|||
I'm all out of hope
One more bad break
Could bring a fall
When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
To tell me you're alone
It's easy to deceive
It's easy to tease
But hard to get release
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
Got no human grace
You're eyes without a face
I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
Got no human grace
You're eyes without a face
(face, face, face)
Now I close my eyes
And I wonder why
I don't despise
Now all I can do
Love what was once
So alive in you
But it's gone from your eyes
I better realize
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
Got no human grace
You're eyes without a face
Such a human waste
You're eyes without a face
(face, face, face)
And now it's getting worse

Fell In Love
02:35
|
|||
Fell in love with a girl
She couldn’t get what she needs
She fell in love with a one eyed Joker
His eye staring back at me
Fell in love with a girl
Her faint lit eyes
She had a heart that tended to boast
The fact that it wasn't alive
I fell in love with the girl I love
When she stared back at me
I fell in love with the girl I love
Now she gives her love to me
Fell in love with a girl
She couldn't get what she wants
She was a bitch that tended to itch
Her feelings of not being alone
Love is such a strange necessity
Playing little games with our hearts
Hate is just another necessity
to get back to our love from the start
I fell in love with a girl
She didn't have no deceit
I fell in love with the girl I love
Now she gives her love to me
Love is such a strange necessity
Playing little games with our hearts
Hate is just another necessity
to get back to our love from the start

Paperback Books

Remember the days when we were just teens
We would pack up our bags and go to places unseen
Drive 13 hours to see the same downtown looks
While drinking beer out of bottles and reading paperback books
The young, youth, and innocent is where life unfolds
You're always left wondering, but your stories will be told
While driving 13 hours to see the same downtown looks
Drinking beer out of bottles and reading paperback books
It feels like you're listening
You ain’t listening to what I would know
In case you relate or see where I'm coming from
We're living our dreams that aren't dead yet
Remember the days when we were just teens
Remember the days when we were just teens
Remember the days when we were just teens
Remember the days when we were just teens

Song For Carter
03:31
|
|||
I met your mother when i was 16
with a pocket full of nothing and a car that wasn't clean
she showed me things that i had never seen
she was always looking at the good looking boys
she stand in a corner and use them as toys
never did i watch and nor did i avoid
She's always looking for friends in high times
and every time i think of her you still cross my mind
but her loving was nothing that i could enjoy
but her loving was nothing that i could enjoy
but her loving was nothing that i could enjoy
I moved on out at the age of 18
with a pocket full of nothing
and nothing but a dream
i would wash for a buck and i would fill in all the seems
she was always working at that store on the hill
worried about nothing but a thing called a bill
never did she lie and nor did she steal
we were all scared we didn't know where to start
we had you when we both were apart
with 2 broken families but plenty open hearts
son i tell you now that this life is real hard
and do what you do but don't ever fall apart
live how you live but don't ever stray too far

On a Plain
03:09
|
|||
I'll start this off
Without any words
I got so high that
I scratched 'til I bled
Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
The finest day
That I ever had
Was when I learned
To cry on command
Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
My mother died
Every night
It's safe to say
Don't quote me on that
Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
The black sheep got
Blackmailed again
Forgot to put
On the zip code
Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory has stored
As defense I'm neutered and spayed
What the hell am I trying to say?
It is now time
To make it unclear
To write off lines
That don't make a sense
Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
One more special
Message to go
And then I'm done
And I can go home
Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
I can't complain

Things We Learn to Know
03:17
|
|||
Listen please listen
you don't know what you're missing
when you lay your intentions low
you've been mistreated and beated and beated
and these things you've learned to know
I know Mrs. Imagene
we met when I was 3
but that was sometime ago
she was a queen and he would beat her real mean
but those things we didn't know
Listen Mr. listen
you don't know what you're missing
when you lay your conviction down
you've been mistreating by beating and beating
these things in her that she's learned to know
the kids were real young when they saw his long thumb
how were they to know
that she was his slave
when he would misbehave
for how long the sheriff still don't know
He went missing
the day he was sentenced to life without parole
Imagene still remembers
the times he would beat her
and those things we learn to know

Threw It Away
03:23
|
|||
I've been gone for sometime
I'm reading books and writing rhymes
You don't want what I would have to say
You went after what you want
You dream of me when he talks
You don't want what I would have to say
I know that you were right there with me
Until you threw it far and now it's all gone away
I know that you were right there with me
Until you threw it far and now it's all gone away
You like spending you're own time
With tailored suits while drinking wine
There's no reason that I would've stayed
Now unhappy with what you got
You dream of me when he talks
You don't want what I would have to say
I know that you were right there with me
Until you threw it far and now it's all gone away
I know that you were right there with me
Until you threw it far and now it's all gone away
I've been gone for sometime
I'm reading books and writing rhymes
You don't want what I would have to say

Unknown Legend
04:26
|
|||
She used to work in a diner
Never saw a woman look finer
I used to order just to watch her float across the floor
She grew up in a small town
Never put her roots down
Daddy always kept movin', so she did too
Somewhere on a desert highway
She rides a Harley-Davidson
Her long blonde hair flyin' in the wind
She's been runnin' half her life
The chrome and steel she rides
Collidin' with the very air she breathes
The air she breathes.
You know it ain't easy
You got to hold on
She was an unknown legend in her time
Now she's dressin' two kids
Lookin' for a magic kiss
She gets the far-away look in her eyes.
Somewhere on a desert highway
She rides a Harley-Davidson
Her long blonde hair flyin' in the wind
She's been runnin' half her life
The chrome and steel she rides
Collidin' with the very air she breathes
The air she breathes

You Want It

She was nothing
Just the Devil with the cancer
Living off of her knee’s
He had nothing
But the heart of a sailor
Sailing too many seas
Now you want it and you got it
Judas walks hand and hand with Jesus
Giving him all that he needs
Judas shakes hands with the Devil
Jesus gets nailed to a tree
Now you want it and you got it
