Dark Water
04:24
|
|||
Outside there's a storm a brewin'
The wicked winds are rollin' on in
And when the calm enters your soul
That's when you'll know that this is the end
I've been wading in Dark Water
Nearly drowning by my pride
I kept on wallowing on that whiskey
I kept on drinking that strawberry wine
In the darkness you can see forever
but don't let it drag you down
When the waters get heavy don't let it sink you down
Sinking in rivers for miles and miles
Somehow I always cross the line
Seeping in rivers of doubt
I left all reasoning behind
I've been wading in Dark Water
Nearly drowning by my pride
I kept on wallowing on that whiskey
I kept on drinking that strawberry wine
In the darkness you can see forever
but don't let it drag you down
When the waters get heavy don't let it sink you down

Blood and Bones
03:48
|
|||
Well here we are, made of blood and bones
Teaching our children to go and throw stones
Can you look in the mirror and like what you see, or will
lie to yourself for this thing you call a dream?
When will we ever learn?
We didn't come this far to watch the world burn.
When will ever see
that people sacrificed for our right to be free?
And I hope we will see the light and maybe one day we'll get it right
I hope we will see the light and maybe we'll get it right
We kept on hoping, we worked hard
We paid our dues for a chance at a start
What happened to the days when we loved one another?
'Cause everyone is someone's son or daughter
When will we ever learn?
We didn't come this far to watch the world burn.
When will ever see
that people sacrificed for our right to be free?
And I hope we will see the light and maybe one day we'll get it right
I hope we will see the light and maybe we'll get it right

One More Chance
04:25
|
|||
Picture perfect memories locked inside the frame, if only it was like that now
I'd trade in my tomorrow's just for one more yesterday
If only it was easy somehow
But nothing's ever as it seems, sometimes when you get older the color fades from your dreams
If only I knew then, what I know now
If only it was easy somehow
Maybe I was holdin on
Maybe I was holdin back
Now the moment is gone and I just one more chance
Maybe I was tryin too hard
Maybe you weren't tryin enough
Now the time has come and I don't want to give up
I just wanted one more chance
Sometimes it can feel like you're stuck in reverse
Tryin to move forward, for better or for worse
Time may not heal all those old wounds
But if we give it one more shot, I'd still want to be with you
Maybe I was holdin on
Maybe I was holdin back
Now the moment is gone and I just one more chance
Maybe I was tryin too hard
Maybe you weren't tryin enough
Now the time has come and I don't want to give up
I just wanted one more chance

This American Life
04:44
|
|||
We're out here doing what it takes in this land of broken promises.
Who will save us?
Who will save us?
The Hustler and the Cheater, the Gambler and the Dealer on the sidelines trying to nickel and dime, stealing all your time.
You worked hard all your life, got a brand new ride but you're in the back seat, can't control your destiny, stuck in the irony.
Oh, this American life...
Bought and sold the right, to be free is to fight.
Oh, this American dream...
It's not at all what it seems, but I'm still believing, in this American life.
When you were younger they told you that you could do anything, you could be anything, to just follow your dreams.
They don't tell you how much it costs, the golden years that get lost in between, privilege and inequality, the harsh reality.
Oh, this American life...
Bought and sold the right, to be free is to fight.
Oh, this American dream...
It's not at all what it seems, but I'm still believing, in this American life.

Breaking is Easy
05:52
|
|||
Some days you wanna live
Some days you wanna die
But no one knows what's coming up on the Other Side
Some days you're born to win
Some days are made to lose
You spent some time lookin' around for signs on how you're gonna choose
There will always be one for the money, two for the show
Don't you give up now, you gotta long way to go
Cut your teeth on the truth and it left a scar
Breaking is easy, holdin' on is hard
Spring bled into Summer then Winter turned mean
and that grass on the other side never turned green
Some days feel so right
Some days feel so wrong
I hope you find the strength to carry on
There will always be one for the money, two for the show
Don't you give up now, you gotta long way to go
Cut your teeth on the truth and it left a scar
Breaking is easy, holdin' on is hard

Starting Over
04:54
|
|||
Starting all over again
was never part of the plan
But that's just how it goes sometimes
'Cause life can turn on a dime
Well if you're not careful you can give it all away
And if you trust too much you're risking all the pain
I wanna go somewhere no one knows my name
I wanna head on down the road, get lost and ride the wind
a change is gonna come as fast as the West bound train
Waiting for new life to begin, so I'm starting all over again
It's so easy to give up and runaway,
and let go of things that made you stay
I never knew how hard life could be
Filled with hardscrabble elegies
Well if you're not careful you can give it all away
And if you trust too much you're risking all the pain
I wanna go somewhere no one knows my name
I wanna head on down the road, get lost and ride the wind
a change is gonna come as fast as the West bound train
Waiting for new life to begin, so I'm starting all over again

When The Dust Settles
03:38
|
|||
I'm an open highway with a bunch of wrong turns
Been here a time or two you'd of think I'd learned...
Oooh I've danced with the devil in the ring of fire
You're bound to get burned walking on wires
Ashes to ashes I'm falling down
When the dust settles back on the ground
Ashes to ashes I'm falling down
When the dust settles back on the ground...
When I get down on my knees to pray
Got too many sins to wash away
So strike match watch me go up in flames
and may the bridges I burn light the way
Ashes to ashes I'm falling down
When the dust settles back on the ground
Ashes to ashes I'm falling down
When the dust settles back on the ground....
Got a fistful of dollar and a full tank of gas
Round and round goin' nowhere fast
I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none
And now I'm running down the road I'm a gone, gone, gone....
Ashes to ashes I'm falling down
When the dust settles back on the ground
Ashes to ashes I'm falling down
When the dust settles back on the ground...

Tired of This Town
04:49
|
|||
Since you've gone and left this dusty old town
I've been filling up my lonely nights drinkin' it all down
I spent all my money and I wasted all my time
And I know when I get home you'll still be on my mind
I'm tired of this town
I'm tired of this old bar
I'm tired of taking chances and not getting very far
Each day that fades away, you've left me standing alone in the dark
I'm tired of this town, I'm tired of this town
Well I can't tell if I'm just livin'
Or barely holdin' on
Only time will tell if this road is close to done
You broke me like a promise
All those empty-hearted words
Now I'm left picking up the pieces at every turn
I'm tired of this town
I'm tired of this old bar
I'm tired of taking chances and not getting very far
Each day that fades away, you've left me standing alone in the dark
I'm tired of this town, I'm tired of this town
I'm tired of this town, I'm tired of this town

Only a Woman
04:44
|
|||
'What do I know I'm only a woman?'
I'm just a delicate flower with no opinion.
He said "don't worry your pretty little head about nothin'" and
"Honey don't you know that silence is golden"?
Oooh...
He said, "Girl you better know your place, before I go repeal and replace."
I'm tired of walking alone afraid
And I'm mad as hell in this day and age
that this is where we are today...
but what do I know I'm only a woman.
We shouldn't have to impress the ones in high places
doing whatever it takes to get in good graces
It's hard to stand tall in the shadow of a man
With everyone's head buried in the sand....
Oooh...
He said, "What do I care what you have to say, it doesn't matter anyway."
I'm tired of walking alone afraid
And I'm mad as hell in this day and age
that this is where we are today...
but 'what do I know I'm only a woman.'
I'm not gonna give up, I'm gonna keep on walking
I'm not gonna give in, I'm gonna on talking
I'm not gonna give up, I'm gonna keep on walking
I'm not gonna give in, 'cause you should know better I am a woman.

The War
05:27
|
|||
The war inside of your mind
it keeps on killing the quiet
you keep on searching, but you never find it
Calloused and bruised
You've been torn up and used
When will you ever give up the fight?
And I reckon that I will carry the burden
And I shall bear the brunt of the load
Taking all that you have onto my shoulders
So you can finally let go
So you can finally let go
Inside your fragile heart
Afraid you won't finish what you started
You might not, honey you might not
Break down the walls
You don't have to be so damn strong
Drive out the demons and move on
And I reckon that I will carry the burden
And I shall bear the brunt of the load
Taking all that you have onto my shoulders
So you can finally let go
So you can finally let go

When You Were Mine
04:29
|
|||
I remember the first time
that I ever saw you
I knew that everything had changed,
I knew that nothing would be the same
You broke me wide open and let some light shine in
Into the darkest parts of my mind I had crawled in
But I never shed this old skin
And I never told you
Just how lucky I was to have you
And now I'm looking back on
When you were mine
You were a rolling thunder
That came crashing the sky
And when the storm had passed you just rolled by
and left me standing in the rain
I remember the last time
that I ever saw you
You said you were doing fine
And how the years just float by
But I never told you
Just how lucky I was to have you
And now I'm looking back on
When you were mine
