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

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

running on empty
03:11
|

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

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

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
