Slow Down Time
03:28
|
|||
Finally broke down
Near San Francisco
Crashing waves
Rear view hero
Moment the rain started fallin
Finally all sunk in
Nobody loves you
When you’re the bottom
Dog in the fight
And the money is long gone
Strummin alone on a 6 string
Watching the storm roll in
I’m more than 1000 miles from home
And I’m finally breaking
Just trying to slow down time
Just trying to slow down time
Got a million things on my mind
Just trying to slow down time
So I think I’ll settle down
Outside Toledo
Wife and kids
And a dog named Beto
Strumming alone on a 6 string
Watching the storm roll in
Nobody sucking my soul
And stealing my joy
Ain’t nobody else
Gonna write my story
And when the morning rain starts falling
I’ll feel it on my skin
I’d start another fire in the stove
But I’m only dreaming
Just trying to slow down time
Just trying to slow down time
Got a million things on my mind
Just trying to slow down time
21st century
Man in the mirror
Gonna play my hand
Til the dealer won’t deal
I don’t care who forgets me
I’m not here to complain
I got a one way ticket
To another planet
Light years out
I’m the first to land it
Strumming alone on a 6 string
Watching the storm roll in

Paint the Town
03:00
|
|||
I’m heading back to Virginia
To breathe that mountain air
And there’s a watering hole
That we all know
Waiting on me
I’m haunted by her memory
But I don’t even care
I'm gonna drown it down
With a bottle of crown in your arms
We’ll paint the town
Paint the town
Paint the town without her
Paint the town
Paint the town
Paint the town red
A journey through the ages
A place I’ve never been
But I feel so small in these concrete walls
I’m breaking
I try to turn the page
And I see her name again
But the pain she’s caused
Has come and gone
And I’m goin back to Finn’s
To paint the town
Paint the town
Paint the town without her
Paint the town
Paint the town
Paint the town red
Paint the town
Paint the town
Paint the town without her
Paint the town
Paint the town
Paint the town red
I'll say it again
Paint the town
Paint the town
Paint the town without her
Paint the town
Paint the town
Paint the town red
So red
Too red
I’m dead

Second Gear
03:39
|

Can I take you for a ride
Can we breathe in the air
Back roads by rivers and the countryside
And the sun keeps sliding
Back and forth
Your eyes are gold
Second gear and we are on the mend
Can we just forget
All the ways I let you down
Can we just forget
All the lies you tell yourself
Right out the window
With all the ways I hurt myself
Again and again
Can we just forget
Another winter in Manasquan
The waves get colder when they crash
You said this beach wasn’t made for us
And then you jumped in
Atlantic ocean
Now I’m swimmin’ after you
Can we just forget
All the ways I let you down
Can we just forget
All the lies you tell yourself
Right out the window
With all the ways I hurt myself
Again and again
Can we just forget
Can we just forget
It’s the look in your eye
It’s the look in your soul
Marigold
Let summer decide
Where we go
Can we just forget
All the ways I let you down
Can we just forget
All the lies you tell yourself
Right out the window
With all the ways I hurt myself
Again and again
Can we just forget
Can we just forget
Can we just forget
Can we just forget

High
04:32

Death is knocking
At my door
It tried every window first
Now it’s taking me
For a ride
In a Cadillac hearse
Never been too good
At goodbyes
They say real men
Shouldn’t cry and scream
And bleed
I wanna get high and numb the pain
Drink enough wine til it don’t sting
But that won’t heal my bitter broken heart
Yeah I wanna get high and run away
Cause black and blue is here to stay
And I’ll be damned if life isn’t hard
Just like that
Your last breath
Still holding your hand
Send your spirit
To another shore
There’s a party when you land
Can’t go with you
I can’t turn back
Nights are slow and the
Days are fast, and dark
And hard
I can’t go with you
I can’t turn back
Nights are slow and the
Days are fast, and dark
And hard
I wanna get high and numb the pain
Drink enough wine til it don’t sting
But that won’t heal my bitter broken heart
Yeah I wanna get high and run away
Cause black and blue is here to stay
And I’ll be damned if life isn’t hard

Killer Not a Lover
05:50
|
|||
I keep bending over backwards
Looking for a faster
Way out of here
I keep hearing that it’s too late
That I should plan my getaway
And just disappear
They want me running round in circles
Turning to the same hurt
Night after night
I’m gonna show ‘em my true colors
I’m a killer not a lover
And I know how to fight
They came disguised as a new hope
Yeah, that was just a cruel joke
To pull my chain
Tried to give me the blue pill
I spit it out and said go to tell
They said you’re insane
They want me running round in circles
Turning to the same hurt
Night after night
I’m gonna show ‘em my true colors
I’m a killer not a lover
And I know how to fight
First in battle
Last in war
My family name
My father’s sword
My mother’s love
A loaded gun
A hand grenade
Against the sun
Don’t piss me off
Don’t piss me off
Don’t piss me off
And in the morning i'll be better
Hold my head against your sweater baby
I know you wanna save me tonight
I'm just back against this wall
Surrounded by these animals
That never change
They want me running round in circles
Turning to the same hurt
Night after night
I’m gonna show ‘em my true colors
I’m a killer not a lover
And I know how to fight
Gonna show ‘em my true colors
I’m a killer not a lover
And I know how to fight
I’m gonna show ‘em my true colors
I’m a killer not a lover
And I know how to fight
I’m gonna show ‘em my true colors
I’m a killer not a lover
And I know how to fight
I’m gonna show ‘em my true colors
I’m a killer not a lover
And I know how to fight
I’m gonna show ‘em my true colors
I’m a killer not a lover
And I know how to fight
I’m gonna show ‘em my true colors
I’m a killer not a lover
And I know how to fight
I’m gonna show ‘em my true colors
I’m a killer not a lover
And I know how to fight
