I little too late to die young
If the guilt don’t ya then ya doin it wrong
Just don’t see no way round
Coz everybody drinks in a dry town x2
Let me die now or let… me stay
It don’t matter now aaaa… ny way
Just don’t see no way round
Coz everybody drinks in a dry town x2

I Tried
04:14
|
|||
|
When was the last time you felt so good
Soaked in alcohol like I knew you would
Not a day goes by
Without you on my mind
Slowly killing me but atleast I tried
Standing in my own noose
Suffocating, the ground is loose
Tell me how much more
Must I hide
Not enough but atleast I tried

Promised Land
02:50
|
|||
|
My head is clear, my will is steel
Hit me down but you aint gonna kill
On the ground ‘gainst the wind
Try hold me down but I’ll get up again
Inside out, upside down
Seen places you ain’t been around
What you see aint all fun
Aint always proud of what I’ve done
No more deals no regrets
No more time for the innocent
Round the world and back again
No such thing as the promised land

Kidnap County
02:44
|
|||
|
Maybe 1 for the road
Make it 2 ‘for I go
After 3 I’m on the freeway, just 4 miles to go
About 5 after midnight
Highway 6 way way behind
Pushin 7-ty five or over
Blowin 8 for state patrol.
Blowin 8 for state patrol.
Now I’m in the pen of kidnap county
With a meth head breathin down my neck
And the cold ground is all I’m feeling
No one here but me to blame

Papa Gonna Play
03:11
|
|||
|
Tastes like honey, but it stung like a bee
Took my money now I’m on my knees
Take me high and take me low
Pappa gonna play till momma gets home
Room was spinning ringing in my ears
Now I’m sinking drowning in my fears
Take me high and take me low
Poppa gonna play till momma gets home

Don't Tell the Man
03:42
|
|||
|
Don’t ask me bout my job, don’t ask me what I do
If I like the company or how was my review
I got bills to pay, mouths to feed
Aint nothin in this world for free
But I’ll be damned if all I am is another employee
I got dreams, you know what I mean
Life sometimes gets ya down, get stuck in between
Doin all that I can, just don’t tell the man
When I was just a kid my momma asked me son
Some day you’re gonna be a man, tell me who will you become
Not the governor or president, or some old big boss man
When I grow up all I want is to play in a rock n roll band

Working It Out
02:41
|
|||
|
Don’t mind me I’ll be back soon
Working on a thing up in my room
Pen to paper I’m writing a book
‘Bout that crazy ass trip I took
A lot to sort through a lot to work out
Got codes got symbols got something about
Giodano Bruno gettin’ barbequed
Talking ‘bout he shouldn’t do
Theorizin, philosophizing, realizin
I’m oh so close to workin it out
Been in my room for 22 days got
Writing on the walls no to the next phase
Gonna head west gonna take a week
Gonna climb that mountain gonna find that peak
Through the valley now up I climb
Within sight and right on time
On the edge of the full moon light
Ready to board my final flight
