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

Lost

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

She
04:06

She was the one that put food on the table
I was the one that lived careless and free
I did my best when she wasn't able
and she...
So I picked up my boots and headed out west
Where the ocean's the only thing I have left
She knows that I wouldn't rest till I see
What I have left
There's things that I'll never quite understand
There's things that I will and won't give a damn
Like the love we leave is the only thing
That we don't miss
She was the one that put food on the table
I was the one that lived careless and free
I did my best when she wasn't able
and she...

Threw It Away
03:33

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

My Darling
05:32

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

She was the one
With a gun in her hand
That you would never see her coming
She was the one
The one in my life that wouldn't quit for nothing
You..., ah you...
Were the girl that i thought would never leave me running
You..., ah you...
I was the one
With a soft spoken voice, but strong opinionated
I was the one
The one that broke hearts and left them all bleeding
You..., ah you...
Were the girl that I thought would never leave me running
You..., ah you...
You say it's a terrible game we play
Yet we play
You say it's a terrible game we play
Yet we play

You Are
03:30

You are in the center of true lies and affection
You treat them as they are nothing, yet act as they are new
You are, You are
A killer of imagination
A false anticipation
You are, You are
You are the essence that a woman breathes
You are the one that I always see
Somebody like you
With somebody like me
You are just who I thought you would be
You are, You are, You are
You are what you are to me
You are the epitome
Of you are, you are
You are the essence that a woman breathes
You are the same one that I always see
With somebody like you
With somebody like me
You are just who I thought you would be
You are
You are
You are
You are
You are
You are
You are
You are

Losers
03:25
|

|
Daddy says that I should make a career
From things that aren't always clear
Us dreamers always want a taste
Daddy thinks that dreaming is a waste
We ain't got nothing else
A loser put on a shelf
Daughters want to live like their mothers
Just another stay at home fixture
Us dreamers always want a taste
But mommy thinks that dreamers a waste
We ain't got nothing else
A loser put on a shelf
They say that we should make a career
And live just like our peers
But they don't understand the wait
They think that all we are is a waste
We ain't got nothing else
A loser put on a shelf
We ain’t got nothing else we got nothing

Lonely Betty
05:17

Betty was young and dreamed of love
A love she would plan as she played
In her mind, she didn't have the time
So, Jimmy would do for today
Jimmy was cast to live real fast
A role he would learn from his peers
He lived in shacks and picked up small bags
That he would sell to the addicts for years
Jimmy is high strung and Betty is left alone
With 3 little kids on the Trace
Over the years, the blood, sweat, and tears,
Had dried up on Betty's sweet face
So, Betty left home and Jimmy got hung
With 3 little words on his chest
I, love, and you, were left subdued
By the things that had left bigger tracks
From the burnt down coals and Jimmy's dirty holes
Was Betty and those 3 kids
If Jimmy would’ve seen
Betty's burnt down dreams
