Car Song

My Chevelle is in the front yard, she’s up on blocks
She could tell some stories if she could only talk
If she could talk well then she'd tell you, she'd lay it out nice and plain
She'd say; leave your mark on the highway son, Let my tires squeal away your pain
Once we were invincible, we could never die
at 120 miles per hour, we sure did try
and we somehow live to tell the stories, or at least for a little while
Even though it hurts to remember
sometimes the stories I forgot can make me smile
You know it's all gonna turn to ashes, it's all going to turn to dust, sometimes it's best to let things rust.
cause rust it don't remember, rust it just don't care
and I'd rather rust right here than live forever anywhere
I drank the whole bottle, woke up the town
damn near killed us all when the sheriff chased us down
Dad said what the hell did you do now Todd Partridge, but he did not turn us in
they all said I'd wind up dead or in jail, but I'm alive and I do it all again
Remember that time in the trailer park, you saved my ass
Her brother was gonna beat the shit out of me, but you were thinking' fast
You convinced him it was nothing, and that's exactly what he did
When I see him now in town on the streets, I wonder what he thinks and I wonder where she is
You know it's all gonna turn to ashes, it's all going to turn to dust, sometimes it's best to let things rust.
cause rust it don't remember, rust it just don't care
and I'd rather rust right here than live forever anywhere
Remember that old hotel, across the tracks,
Its gone now baby, so you can't go back
was abandoned then and we broke in, got scared and scattered like the wind
But you and I stuck together my brother, just like we always did, be it think or thin
I was talkin’ with you last month, you're gonna sell that Chevelle
I understand ‘bout needin’ the money, but first let’s drive her like hell
fast as you can to the mailbox, where we used to run the quarter mile
try and bring back those old memories with the burnin’ rubber and the squealing tires
Let’s squeal ‘em…

Death's Door
04:24
|
|||
Gonna die with my boots on,
hat up on my head
not gonna go out layin' down - my grandpa died in bed
my grandpa died in bed
Going out with a hammer
pocket full of nails
Not gonna die like mine uncle - uncle died in jail
- mine uncle died in jail
Keep my eyes open
not turn my back
not gonna die like my friend Jim
drunk on the railroad tracks
drunk on the railroad tracks
******
If they catch me and put me in the ground
hope my soul ain't lost
I hope they have dig 3 holes, 3 feet through the frost
3 feet through the frost
Let the headstone read
when Im gone, when I'm gone
he didn't die in no hospital bed
he died with boots on
died with his boots on
died with his boots on
died with his boots on
_________
death's at my door
death's at my door
ain't gonna let him in
ain't gonna let him in
It ain't my time
It an't my time
It aint my time
to see the white lights take me home

Fetch me that bottle
Fetch me that bottle quick
Fetch me that bottle
Everyone is dying, from the day they born
Doc says I shouldn't drink
I don't care what Doc thinks
Fetch me that bottle
Everyone is dying, from the day they born
I'll tell you a secret
Whiskey takes away my pain
I'll tell you a secret
Everyone is dying from the day they born
I'm ready for the Galilee shore
River Jordan gonna take me home
I'm ready for the Galilee shore
Everyone is dying, from the day they born

Fresh Green Light of Day
03:15
|
|||
Well the mountains, feel like valleys
Every night, when the Sun goes down
But the tables are turned come breakfast time
Everything looks brighter, by the fresh green light of day
I asked a friend, for a ride
he said where, are you bound?
I said anywhere is fine, and I hope that you don't mind
Everything looks brighter, by the fresh green light of day
Rainy streets and Mondays make sad harmony sounds
Church steeples point up, but we sinners all fall down
We sinners all fall down, but we get up before we drown
and everything looks brighter, by the fresh green light of day
Well the moon, refused to shine
when he saw what the sun had done
the sun had undone, what the moon had just begun
and everything looks brighter, by the fresh green light of day.

Music in Your Soul
02:37

If you've got music in your soul, shout amen
If you've got music in your soul, shout amen
If you've got music in your soul, brother you know you never gonna grow old
If you've got music in your soul, shout amen
If you've got rhythm in your feet stomp em' loud
If you've got rhythm in your feet stomp em' loud
If you've got rhythm in your feet, ya’ll get up off your seat
If you've got rhythm in your feet, stomp 'em loud
People been talking about love and music since the dawn of time
it seems these two things are impossibly intertwined
So all these scientists got together, had to prove they knew better
they mapped the whole human genome
couldn't leave well enough alone
but when they looked at those DNA strands
there were music notes and they could understand that
Harmony, Melody and love make the world go round
if you've got love in your heart, let 'em in
If you've got love in your heart, let 'em in
If you've got love in your heart, ya’ll it's time to get started
If you've got love in your heart, let 'em in
If you've got music in your soul, shout amen
If you've got music in your soul, shout amen
If you've got music in your soul, brother you never gonna’ grow old
If you've got music in your soul, shout amen

Wicked Mountain
06:39
|

Climbin’ to the top of the wicked mountain
locks and chains on my feet
locks and chains on my feet
So many steps that I can't count them
climbing' to the sky on the stairs so steep
climbing' to the sky stairs on the stairs so steep
Cold north wind blown' cross that mountain
Feet are frozen and my breath is numb
Feet are frozen and breath is numb
They say at the top there's a golden fountain
I'm gonna drink that water like wine
gonna drink that water like wine
got to the top and there weren’t no fountain
just water below risen' high
water below risen high
water below and it’s risin’ high
water below and it’s risin’ high
risin’, risin’, risin’, risin’, risin’, risin’, risin’, risin’, risin’

Leaves of Grass
04:37
|

You say there’s time
What is time?
Time will tell on us all
The skies will fall
let them fall
oceans boil with disregard
Like Leaves of grass
This too shall pass
even diamonds turn to sand
These earthly binds
They chain your minds
Unlock what you know is inside
Won't take away
still can’t stay
footsteps are all you'll leave behind
I keep going back to that place in the Sonoran desert
the time is lost now. Escaped.
7 of us seeking circles, found a fire ring in the foothills
off the highway, where the ghosts cruise by on horseback
seeking curiosity, we built a fire
amongst the beer cans and ashes, the bones of an old parties
we now numbered 6
the stories flowed unusually well as if magic had taken hold
we paired off to find more juniper to fuel the fire and there were 4
the red rocks seemed to laugh at us and tease us to find comfort in their unfolding fissures deep
Mark named himself Mandu and there were 3
we stopped to feel the small Anasazi handprints surprisingly warm in the cool cliff wall
Two remained
Jess and I
We sat with our backs to the fire
Feeling sleepy we danced around the fire like desert jelly fish, embracing cacti shadows
Then there was 1
Jess… Jesss.. Jessssss.

If Jesus saves then, I am the devil cause I spend all my time with you
If savin is the secret, I don't want to keep it, cause I don't want nothin' I can't use
If Jesus saves then, I am the devil cause I spend all my time with you
If money is the root of all things evil, then I am an angel in disguise
There's too many puzzle pieces, help us lord 'oh please release us now
If love is the answer then I am your man sir, 'cause loving' is al I want to do
If Jesus walked on water, then he was no smarter, than I was before I met you
If Hell is on fire, with lust and desire, Then I'll keep it warm just for you

If love is the answer then I am you r man sir, 'cause loving' is al I want to do
If Jesus saves then, I am the devil cause I spend all my time with you

Money is the root of all things evil
And I am an angel in disguise
Jesus Saves
I am the devil ‘cause I spend all my time with you
If the meek shall inherit, then surely I can bear it
as long as I got you by my side
If Cain slew able, love is a fable
and hate is bible fairytale
There's too many puzzle pieces, help us lord 'oh please release us now
If love is the answer then I am your man sir, 'cause loving' is all I want to do

Take me far away from here
Take me where the water runs clear
I got demons in my rearview mirror -
Just get me to the church on time
Got a old road map and a rosary
I’m stuck in second gear
so many place I ain't seen
just get me to the church on time
Got the grand ole opry on the radio
This tramp be runnin’ late
music soothes my tortured soul
Get me to the church on time
If we get there I won't gamble no more
won't ramble these fields of rye
I won't chase those skirts no more
Just get me to the church on time
Got 4 bald tires ain't got no spare
nothing but fumes in the tank
she don't look pretty but she'll get ya there
get me to the church on time
Heaven ain't nothing' but lights ahead
hell is lights behind ya
in between is the open road
Get me to the church on time
Lizzie, Lizzie we're almost there
Late again and I smell like beer
shined my shoes and slicked my hair
get me to the church on time
Old Grant City, shore is pretty
ya blink and ya miss it just roll right by
river at the bottom, get ready Betty
Get me to the church on time
Get me to the church on time
Pickin' up speed no time to kill
past the cemetery one more more hill
they were dead when they got there
they're dead still
Get me to the church on time
Preacher saw me comin’ and he locked the door
you can't come in here BOY
absolution ain't your solution
we can't save your kind
we can't save your kind
we can't save your kind
we can't save your kind

Kiss My Ass
03:54
|
|||
You we're just a gleam in your mama's eye
when I met her on the 4th of July
I lit the fuse and they hollered at me to stand back
I'm not sayin what I did was right
when we made drunk love on that full moon night
I didn't find out you were mine until you were nine
God knows I did my best
But these small town gossips wouldn't give it a rest
the blamed me for everything from herpes to the Iraq war
They called me a loser said I was low class
so I have one request for them before I pass , please
bury me upside down so they can kiss my ass
well candy is dandy, but sex and liquor
make a young man old so much quicker
I'm only 35 but I've seen at least a hundred years of sin
I got in another fight at the stock car races
I know every county jailer on a first name basis
I don't have a job but I'm lookin, honest I am
God knows I did my best
But these small town gossips wouldn't give it a rest
the blamed me for everything from herpes to the Iraq war
They called me a loser said I was low class
so I have one request for them before I pass , please
bury me upside down so they can kiss my ass
I bet you twenty dollars you were a bar room liar
when you said I couldn't pull my own tooth out with a pliers
I gave it a yank and swallowed the beer and the blood
I'm sure you've heard all about the things I did
Legendary antics of an overgrown kid
Some of it's true, but a lot of it ain't
God knows I did my best
But these small town gossips wouldn't give it a rest
the blamed me for everything from herpes to the Iraq war
They called me a loser said I was low class
so I have one request for them before I pass , please
bury me upside down so they can kiss my ass

Down on My Knees
05:18
|
|||
I wrote you a letter
I wrote it down, I swear every word I wrote is true
Every thing I could think of I poured it out to you
and I told you, yes I told you
How you done me so wrong
I didn't start at the beginning
No I started at the end
I started at the end and I worked my way back
through all the pain and heartbreak and
and finleeee I got to the love that we started with
and I couldn't stand anymore
You got me so down, ohoh baby
got me down on my knees
You got me so down, oh my baby
got me down on my knees
So I called you on the phone
but you wouldn't answer, nooeo
you wouldn't pick up that phone
no you wouldn't even say my name
and when your mama answered that phone
and she said you weren't at home
I screamed liar you're all lying to me oh my god
So I talked to your friends, I saw 'em standin' on the street
saw 'em standin' on the corner
I pulled up in my car and I said where she at baby
and they said you didn't want me around
they said you left town with another man, but I knew they were lying
I saw you hide, I saw you run, and I chased you
not just you, but everything we stood for
You got me so down, ohoh baby
got me down on my knees
You got me so down, oh my baby
got me down on my knees
You got me so down, oh my baby
got me down on my knees
They said where you goin', where you goin' with that spray paint can
I said what spray paint can man
and I swear it wasn't me that spray painted w-h-o-r-e on your house
In pink spraypaint
but I'm sorry for everything I did, I 'm so sorry
I'm so sorry, but what's that got me, it still ain't got me you..
Chorus x4
I'm so down, I ain't got nothing left
And then I see us, on the alter, we're on the alter of that church
a little Las Vegas church, with a picture of Elvis holding a cross
and you're in your blue dress and I"m in my white tux
and we're laughin' about the old days and all that crazy stuff I did
we're laughing
and it's all right.
