Take Me Alive 02:27
lyrics
buy track
I had a nightmare woman Twelve feet tall She set my dreams on fire Hit my head against the wall Just pick up the pieces I don't pick up when she calls I had a nightmare woman Twelve feet tall I set my sights on loving Twelve miles high I'd hyphenate her name And write it clear across the sky Now I pick up broken glass While my poor ass wonders why I set my sights on loving Twelve miles high She ain't gonna take me alive She ain't gonna take me alive She ain't gonna take me alive Thought bubble bath and bourbon'd Be all we need But she ground my gears to dust Put city miles on me Got to sitting down to dress Wondering how I'd believe Thought bubble bath and bourbon'd Be all we need Now I know I might be used But I run like new Driving 'round old REO Town With a girl like you I'm lit up like a check engine like Tell me what you're gonna do With a man who might be used But runs like new She ain't gonna take me alive She ain't gonna take me alive She ain't gonna take me alive

The Stakes 04:00
lyrics

The way your hair gets everywhere Gets me feeling the weight of the wait The home you show me anywhere With every move you make I’ll make a stand with a dead man’s hand And with every last fear on my face Pair of aces and a pair of eights And I’m raising the stakes Tonight I can’t talk so I’ll just sing See what the morning brings I’ll just keep on raising the stakes Until everything rings or everything breaks Pair of aces and a pair of eights And I’m raising the stakes The way you move across the room Can remind me of my faith That flickers in the bickering winds While the cards I’m holding shake I’ll make a stand with a dead man’s hand And with every last fear on my face Pair of aces and a pair of eights And I’m raising the stakes Tonight I can’t talk so I’ll just sing See what the morning brings I’ll just keep on raising the stakes Until everything rings or everything breaks Pair of aces and a pair of eights And I’m raising the stakes Tonight I can’t talk so I’ll just sing See what the morning brings I’ll just keep on raising the stakes Until everything rings or everything breaks Pair of aces and a pair of eights And I’m raising the stakes

Call The Bottle Home 02:16
lyrics

I got an easy heart to break You make it hard to walk away I got an easy heart to break The way you shiver and I shake I figured maybe that you might Crash your life right into mine I figured maybe that you might Take the wrong and make it right Tonight I’ll call the bottle home And text my exes so they know Tonight I’ll call the bottle home And wreck these reckless idle bones Tonight I’ll call the bottle home You dream in colors I can’t see Hide your love away from me You dream in colors I can’t see And fuck if I don’t feel you leave Tonight I’ll call the bottle home And text my exes so they know Tonight I’ll call the bottle home And wreck these reckless idle bones Tonight I’ll call the bottle home Tonight I’ll call the bottle home And text my exes so they know Tonight I’ll call the bottle home And wreck these reckless idle bones Tonight I’ll call the bottle home

Disenchanted 04:09
lyrics
buy track
You listen so close For words I don’t say Wouldn’t matter anyway You watch for all those Things I don’t do There just ain’t no pleasing you Waiting so long For me to change Things you try to rearrange You think it’s so wrong That I don’t give you All the dreams you want me to Burn it down Need some room to plant new seeds Burn it down There ain’t no meant to be Starting to fear You can’t fix it It’s getting worse than you’ll admit Getting so near Time to move on What we used to have is gone Burn it down Need some room to plant new seeds Burn it down There ain’t no meant to be Took it too far Down the line You act like all the fault is mine I want to tell ya You ain’t no saint now Getting sick of your complaints Burn it down Need some room to plant new seeds Burn it down There ain’t no meant to be There ain't no meant to be

Middle C 04:27
lyrics

Sing to me a little while Sing me halfway home Swim out past the caution buoys And you won’t swim alone Things you do to me Cut me to the bone Sing a song you can’t remember Just sing the words you know Sip vodka mixed with doctor pepper Dare the wind to blow Everything you are to me Blow everything on home I’d been too fucked up and fumbling Hitting every note but middle C Now you see your walls a fallin’ Crumblin’ in a pile in front of me I’d been too fucked up to find the kind of man You might’ve thought I’d be Sing along with words I tasted Off the kitchen floor Sixteen nights to burn and waste 'Til I walk through your door Green eyes need a glimpse of me I’ll need a little more I’d been too fucked up and fumbling Hitting every note but middle C Now you see your walls a fallin’ Crumblin’ in a pile in front of me I’d been too fucked up to find the kind of man You might’ve thought I’d be I’d been too fucked up and fumbling Hitting every note but middle C Now you see your walls a fallin’ Crumblin’ in a pile in front of me I’d been too fucked up to find the kind of man You might’ve thought I’d be

Had it been twenty three years Or twenty three days when you Told me you loved me On a cold bright saturday Twenty three hours it took me To know I’s on my way Home to you I’m coming in hot I’m coming in hot I’m coming in hot See it in my eyes Smell it on my breath Hear it in the sighs I breathe into your neck See me dying to find Another hour with you Wide eyed and blue I’m coming in hot I’m coming in hot I’m coming in hot I’m coming in hot I’m coming in hot I’m coming in hot

Porch Light 03:51

How am I gonna go and get enough far gone When you're sittin' home alone with your porch light on Got that porch light on blowing up my phone You know I ain't straight enough to leave it alone Oh you know you got something that I can’t get at home Got a certain simple something I can feel in my bones Got that porch light on blowing up my phone All the water in your well I can’t leave ‘nough alone Gonna get what you wanted if you whisper to me How your man done gone and won’t be home before three Did you get what you wanted when you whispered to me I mighta mentioned how my engine was running on fumes and I can barely roll slow enough to even pass through You got your porch light on got on nothing else Now my brake lights are burning in spite of myself So how you gonna go and ever get it right When your sitting home alone under your old porch light Under that old porch light blowing up my phone because you know I ain't straight enough to leave it alone Gonna get what you wanted if you whisper to me How your man done gone and won’t be home before three Did you get what you wanted when you whispered to me Gonna get what you wanted if you whisper to me How your man done gone and won’t be home before three Did you get what you wanted when you whispered to me

Anymore 03:55

ANYMORE How do you know when it’s over How do you know you’re at the end How do you know it’s time to move past The last line in the sand Another night, another fight We drag our dark out into the light Pointed words always leave a mark That’s for sure You think you’re better off alone I know you won’t be coming home It feels like hell but I won’t Go there anymore How did it ever get this ugly How did it ever get this bad How did it ever reach the point You’re crying on command Another night, another fight We drag our dark out into the light Pointed words always leave a mark That’s for sure I think I’ll go out on my own Find somewhere to just get stoned You say just wait but you don’t Pull yours anymore Now at last the night is over Now the final song’s been played Now we’ll walk off for the last time And go our separate ways Another night, another fight We drag our dark out into the light Pointed words always leave a mark That’s for sure We used to have a good thing goin’ But I guess we should’ve known It’d fall apart ‘cause we don’t Play ours anymore

Right Right Now 03:31

Young girl, old truck She’ll gimme time with any luck Tall boots, short skirt Look away ‘til, it don’t hurt Well drinks three bucks Redneck Mother on, the jukebox Says her eyes are up here Sorry I’m not sorry dear Oh god you know I wanna do right right now But doing wrong is what I need Cards on the table her dress on a chair And I’m trapped between her sheets Her chin’s up, eyes a glowin Spins round, roots are showin She needs Jesus, she needs wine She needs me from time to time Can’t fill a god shaped hole With cigarettes, rock and roll Kentucky bourbon, Netflix Marijuana and some Sunday sex Oh god you know I wanna do right right now But doing wrong is what I need Cards on the table her dress on a chair And I’m trapped between her sheets Oh god you know I wanna do right right now But doing wrong is what I need Cards on the table her dress on a chair And I’m trapped between her sheets

It’s eighty eight in the shade We got each other and we got it made Those storms forming this morning, are so far away Days getting longer and I’m getting high On the look on your face in Wimberley in July Here when you hold me near, I could just die You put back together the pieces you found When I’d swallowed the hollow and followed it down Let’s maybe lay here all morning without a single sound When you call me darlin on this kind of night I could be stone blind and I’d be all right Here when you hold me near, I could just die It’s eighty-eight in the shade We got each other and we got it made Those storms forming this morning, are so far away
