Your Way

Was a couple not enough for you?
Had another, waited up for a few
I thought it was my drinking, you told me it was "someone new"
But my thinking, well it earned me this view
Light the fire, blow this bitch away
I guess you "got yours," guess you got your way
I won't ask you, I won't ask you to stay
I hope he treats you. I hope he treats you well
I hope he gives you the things that I couldn't sell
'Cause you were buying from someone else
I say good riddance, "Girl, I'll see you in hell"
Like a match, before we lose our flame
Light the fire, blow this bitch away
I guess you "got yours," I guess you got your way
If you're looking for mercy, darling you ain't getting none
I'm keeping the house, the dog and my gun
I hope you like prizes, "Girl, it looks like you've won."
Your wish has been granted cause it looks like we're done
And I'm done, done with this stupid game
Like a match, before we lose our flame
Light the fire, blow this bitch away!

Insomnia

One day I lost myself
And you, you put me through so much
Let's go playback everything
These days I find
I can't sleep at night
I know I care too much
I can't keep this up
Are we who we claimed to be?
Are we something else entirely?
Are you wrong or right?
Maybe I'm too broke to fight
These days I find
I can't sleep at night
You steal all of me
A new sense of apathy
You said you'd follow me
Instead you're out of reach
You take everything
Tell me I'm to blame
I can't sleep at night
A case of who's wrong or right
These sheets, this bed I call my home
And now I try to sleep alone

God's Plan
04:11
|

Raised by a mean old man
He liked to show me his back hand
And you will know the same
Why'd you ever mention her name?
There are things in life I hold
Close to my old soul
Like God, my kids and friends
But that woman makes me who I am
We all gotta die someday
By the plan that God has made
You just close those eyes
And pray that I don't find you tonight
You've been lying
You do it all the time
I know murder's so much worse
But this is your fault for talking to her
Now how can I make you see
What this woman means to me?
I've got just the place for you
'Neath the ground about a foot or two
We all gotta die someday
By the plan that God has made
Son, now just calm down
I ain't gonna kill you... here in town
Come on get out the truck
Those tears won't do you any good
It's not becoming of your clan
To speak a bad word of my woman
"There's a hole, just watch your step.
No, that's the one just over there."
Now kneel and ask God to absolve
You of all the bad that you've done
We all gotta die someday
By the plan that God has made
This doesn't hurt one bit
Squeeze the trigger, it gives a little kick

Everyone Dies

Came to town, fooled around
Got mixed up with this messy gal
I swear I thought I caught her name
Guess I didn't, my mistake
The next morning the hotel rang
Two big men named Samuel and Frank
Got their panties all twisted up
That one-night Queen was their sister
Got me running, got me scared
I don't really got nowhere
A place to go to, a place to hide
A place I'll go to let this all subside
But they pummeled me and they dragged me down
They said, "Us Miller boys don't fuck around."
They took my wallet, they took my keys
But they didn't get that piece off me
Keep me running, keep me scared
If I keep looking I'll find somewhere
A place to go to with solace inside
A place where I'll wait to turn my tide
I drew my gun, made the first one snore
Thud was loud as he hit the floor
Small one ran, thought he got away
No, sir. I'm just taking my aim
Got you running, got you scared
Bet you didn't know I'd be prepared
Your sister's easy and that's ok
"Boys, you didn't have to die this way."

Pigs
03:58
|

In these times
I know we'll find
The reason why
The tabs unpaid
The doctor's late
It's insane
I know this game
We've seen it played
Before
We used to say
We'd change our ways
The day we see
Pigs fly
That day
Has arrived
Single-file line
One at a time
We all fall
While they're sitting on their jets
We're paying off the debt
It's crazy
We're losing our right
And ability to fight
It's tyranny
We used to say
We'd change our ways
The day we see
Pigs fly
That day
Has arrived
All of this in mind
Tell me that we're fine
Again
It's highway robbery
In this new century
Maybe...
We throw them in jail
Refuse to post bail
Like they do to you
And me!
They used to say
They'd change their ways
The day we see
Pigs fly
That day
Has arrived!

Need me, just give me that
Believe me, I'm right where you're at
We're bleeding, we've cut ourselves
You're pleading, hope you find some help
And give them more time than you gave me
Your body's strong, so how's your mind this weak?
I want you with no strings attached
A nice life doesn't seem too far-fetched
Believe me if you feel so compelled
Keep breathing, I'll find you some help
Please give me more time than I gave you
My body's strong, so how can I feel so blue?
You treat me like the man that I am
A poor soul, forlorned and goddamned
If I leave, if I leave this town
You'll find that my faults can't be found
I won't need you to debate or disagree
My body's strong so how's my mind this week?

Leave the Piece
04:44

If you can taste
That bitterness is me
All alone I wait for you
Have I been anything but true?
The scenery around me fades
All I can see is your face
I guess I'll keep it to myself
Me and no one else
I'm apoplectic at best
So I'll just keep it in my chest
Take away all this again
The days I lost the places that I've been
Your deafening indifference
I've paid a pretty penny since
I guess I'll keep it to myself
Me and no one else
I'm grief-stricken at best
But I'll just keep it in my chest
What I did and what you saw
Was it ever really my fault?
I'm indignant and a mess
But I still wish you all the best
I guess I'll keep it to myself
Me and no one else
I'm brokenhearted at best
So I'll just keep the piece you left

I'll Go Alone
03:20

Where did you go when I needed you most?
Where did you hide when you walked out of my life?
Dodged a bullet, but it hurts like it hit
You know you did it, you gave it all away
You know they say love isn't for the faint of heart
I wish you could see what this done for me
Got tired of my own shit, gave it all away
You know you did it, you made a big mistake
"Next time?" You're kidding? No, it's far too late
You know they say love isn't for the faint of heart
Can't you believe I'll make it on my own?
Smoke something pretty, then I'll write a song
Crawl on my belly, no ma'am I sure won't
I'll go back to Texas, away from your throne
He travels the fastest who travels alone.

Always, Yes Always
04:34

Always, yes always
We promised our fates
I'd knock on your door
You'd run down my hallways
Always
I can't keep up this grin
I already told my friends
You gave me your two cents
How can love be a sin?
Darling, oh Doll Face
You opened up your gate
Let's rob the bizarre
And run through the marketplace
Always
Much to my chagrin
I gave you my two cents
I already paid the rent
A wedding ring, holy shit
A big house, a small place
Whatever it takes
I'll buy you the moon
If that's what you dictate
Always
I can't keep up this grin
You already told your friends
We exchanged our two cents
A life with you's life well spent

Driven
03:41
|

Go far, I'm sure there's more to who you are
I've listened, held court, feel nothing anymore
I guess I'm right
I think I might
Drive all night
The outline I'll be looks like him, less like me
Mark the chalk, tape off the scene, move along there's nothing to see
I know I'm fine
This feels alright
To drive all night
There's a crime, one unseen, she took my everything
Lost trust, smashed dreams, I'm on the very brink
I'll be just fine
Love isn't mine
But it drives my life

Secrets
04:59
|

Dig deep, don't quit
Lay down your our burden
You're wrong, I'm right here
100 questions float through my head
And I'm trying to decide
Whether I'm wrong or right
Black or white
This is the process of brokenheartedness
And I didn't even blink
Fools become martyrs of fire-starters
And I don't really like what I see
I'm keeping all these secrets from you
So tell me, how can I be free of you?
And I'm speaking without breathing a single word
So while you're sleeping in your bed I hope you're dreaming of me

Those Days
03:59
|

I didn't know your love for me
until I saw it bubbling
Your selfishness, we'll have to pay
I never knew you felt this way
I don't understand
Where this all will end
All those days, love
What were we made of?
I never saw what's on your mind
Until you tried to wreck my life
All those old ways
Same hurt, new pain
I don't understand
Where this all will end
All those days, love
What were we made of?
I know that our sun has set
But I won't let you soon forget
I didn't mean to take up space
Am I so easily replaced?
I don't understand
Where this all will end
All those days, love
Is this that dream where I'll wake up?
Look how you've gone and set me free
I never knew the man I'd be
Surprised myself, I'll be okay
It was unforeseen anyway
I'll never understand
Where this all will end
In your craze, love
Look what you made us

Charlie
09:59

"Can you see the man who walks our street?"
He gave something up for you and me
Life that was lost wasn't just an enemy's
Hung his hat on what we took for free
The land he loved and swore to protect
Makes bad bets, writes blank checks to effect change for
Charlie, don't look but the docs took your foot
It's gone, the banks know, they want your VA loan
"He's hobbled can't we go help him he’s old?"
No son there's no one who can tell him no
Now I realize that sometimes Mr. Baker he seems cold
Just know that what he gave us can't be made or grown
But the land he loved and swore to protect
Makes bad bets, writes blank checks to effect change for
Charlie, don't sweat, it's just the tango
"It gets easier, you'll break the leg move slow. "
I can't say what he gave
But he deserves more than this
The land he loved and swore to protect
Makes bad bets, writes blank checks to effect change for
The tangos and Charlie's minor deformity
He lost, the war is won, don't tread on him, he'll stand on one
