intro/dusty 02:43
used to be when i done wrong a dusty county jailer til i met a girl soft and strong who's aim never failed her went and tried to write a country song "my baby's got a bailer" came after me with forks and prongs sent me back home on a trailer set travel, lost the chart didn't need it all the while hadn't made it yards before we made it cross the mile oh i want ya to know so it goes... . . .

my own hands 03:41
if i'm gonna go let it be by my own hands if i'm gonna lie right beside my old man ain't no shame in the end of days they found me where we used to play whisky's all gone wet sweet n brown cigarette was out, smoking in a round couldn't believe it but i was found those old leather soles never touched the ground a drink and a smoke a quiet moment a paw from a Bo a night alone had some time to stop and rethink a quiet repose. and pen and prose if i'm gonna go let me go be my own man you wanted a fire song, jump out of the pan ain't no game, you couldn't stay it wasn't only talk, you didn't want to play went and thought you knew me from the clay read my history, cut into the glaze wasn't til we stood up face to face call me engobe engraved into a vase always, i'll lay

i went skiing down the mountain, in my shoes, on the ice you were the first, and the last person i thought of as i fell down on my ass it hurts to write, it's the worst when i can't, it doesn't hurt to die doesn't ever hurt, ever hurt to try i'm running out of ink, i'm running on empty scoring the pages, the scratching the etching the son of a binch i'm so sick of his sinch brooding and berating will never make up for this we're dressed to the nines on a cloud turning our lives upside down i've been thinking all about it, how you left and i lied i was just trying to be that good person, but to no one's surprise counting the deck, he's got stack of regret atop of a mountain of spiritual debt so raise a glass! let's all dance to forget running out of ink, i'm running on empty scoring the pages, the scratching the etching the grouch and his Gretsch and his constant regret shrouded and scraping just to add to the list we're balls to the wall the bigger they are, the harder they fall

rocket hero 03:20
rocket hero, burning so brightly all thru the night we'd stay glued to the TV T-Minus Zero and blast off mightily! the gold looks like green it's like nothing you've ever seen see the stars on the screen manage escape speed they made it off of Earth safely damn make it home the same way it's like nothing you've ever seen once off the blue marble the message got garbled >>>message recieved but only partially -- -- -- >>>can you please repeat>> -- the moon above your feet -- -- -- and we both touched the sky the devil in disguise <<< rocket hero he tried his best now we'll lay him to rest by these rocks by the sea they were mourning the death of their friend who fought to their last breath while defending the dream

chorus i'm coming up with new ways every day to say life is great, but i miss you all the same do you know my favorite kind of guy the kind of guy you get to know and like sailing boats, flying kites stay out late riding bikes friday night, picnic table won't you tell me another fable chorus

what happen 04:08
if i dreamed i never called you, left me wondering what might not have been haven't seen the last of me, i'm seeing right through you and you won't believe what did you see when you drank from the fountain? what can you see from the top of the mountain? all the leaves from the fall never seen 'em at all if i believed i never phoned you, left you alone you might never know there's this old saying everyone knows, "so it goes, so it goes" what did you see when you drank from the fountain? what can you see from the top of the mountain? autumn leaves from the fall never seen 'em

Halifax 04:52
we're all addicts, we destroy everything then we dream about being alive it's with heavy heart, i'm afraid to say he won't St. Martin stayed at home symptomatic of the problems that we face between the fighting, and the screaming, and the crying it's a shallow heart slowly dying, though it's trying don't say there's nothing left we're not done yet and every word i wrote, could speak nothing to your poems i was lost at home it's with heavy heart i'm afraid to say he won't save Martin's Day the cracks weakened the foundation and everyone i know says you're better off on your own but i don't want you to go in the winter we waited by the wild it's a cold and strange, sad little world and the fire and the quiet and the cinders and the wind and a bit of firewood and we'd drive for miles staying awake screaming to the road you couldn't take us when you took yourself atop the mountain and learned what is and never was then you learned what wasn't never was then you learned what wasn't never was
