I’ve been a soulless child
I’ve been a soulless child
I was a messed up kid with a thorn in my side
They said ‘I bet you die young son’
‘Yeah I bet you die young’
That might be, we’ll see
If death catches up to me
So who are you trying to change my ways?
Oh, you see I’m burning and burning all the way through
‘Til I get back to you
I’m coming back to you
I’m coming back to you
I’m coming back yeah
This is a dead end town
This is a dead end town
Nothing here for an eager young man to be found
So we’re filling our whiskey
Act on bad ideas
We’ll burn this town to the ground
If that’s the way you like it son
Restless night, I can see the light burn bright
A reckoning, I’ll return the night
And all this time we’ve been growing apart, my love
You see I’m burning and burning all the way through
‘Til I get back to you

Howlin' Back At You
03:57

Oh, as the stars, shining bright like a diamond
Your face is like a red moon turning white
Oh, as the levee breaks down
You gotta see whatever you, whatever you can find in this
Oh, hey jewel, what you gonna do with this
Oh, hey jewel, blood moon’s howlin’ back at you
I keep it shining, shining so bright
I keep on hold on, holding on so tight
Ah when you’re howlin’ at the moon
I keep howlin’ at you
Oh, as the stars, shining bright like a diamond
This chase is like a red room turning white
Oh, when the heavy breaks down
You gotta see whatever you, whatever you can find in this
I said you
I keep on swinging, I keep an eye on you
I keep on swinging, I keep an eye on you
I keep on swinging, I keep an eye on you

Shakin'
03:33

|
I’ve got a strong shiver rolling up my arm
I’ve got a strong shiver rolling up my arm
I should’ve spread my net I should’ve pulled my break I’ve gotta strong shiver rolling up my arm
I’ve got no plans to ever go back home
I’ve got no plans to ever go back home
I’m too exhausted now, that I’ve come this far
I’ve got no plans to ever go back home
You see me wandering down the street and I’m shakin’
You got me climbing up these walls and now I’m breakin’
I cut my fingers to the bone and I’m bleeding out
I come around
I come around
I come around
I come around
With this sweet pill I rest until this day
With this sweet pill I rest until this day
My veins are hiding now and I can’t slow down
With this sweet pill I rest until this day

Solitary Man
03:22
|
|||
|
On the border of the delta lived a solitary man
Who laid his hand on his Bible and swore he’d never drink again
It took him 45 seconds to finish another round
It took him one whole hour to lay with his face down
He was sent out to serve in 1945
To the Tinian Island were he maintained a B-29
It was a pitch black night at 02:45
Twelve men and one Little Boy took their flight to the sky
It’s all gone he said
As the code turned to red
And the drop from a plane is 53 seconds away
For a solitary man
For a solitary man
He left the war with his thoughts on Enola Gay
Came back to the states, where everything had gone away
The war took his will and his friend took his better half
Nothing left but the bottle, and the faith that he never had
For a solitary man
For a solitary man

Black Gold
03:04
|

|
I hold my head just like a wrecking ball
I loosen my belt and pull the needle out
Ain't got nothing that can bother me
I'm over the moon, baby can't you see?
That I go wherever it may go
Black gold, got me in its control
I’ll chase the rabbit for another round
It's a good 4 hours til I lose my ground
Don't you recognize it, can't you see?
It's the Devil's kiss that got a hold of me
That, I go wherever it may go
Black gold, got me in its control
Wherever it may go
Black gold, got me in its control
That, I go wherever it may go
Black gold, it’s got me in its control
I go wherever it may go
Black gold, it’s got me in its control
I hold my head just like a wrecking ball
The Devil's kiss, got a hold of us all

400 Hours
03:47

It’s been 400 hours since you left me on my own
400 hours since you left
Within 300 hours, man I got my body shot
By a pistol to my chest and now I rest
I rest, with a gun hole through my chest
I rest, with a gun hole through my chest
You pass me by at the graveyard just to read my name in stone
Lay down beside me for a prayer
Beg to God won’t you bring him back, I can’t afford a day
Lay down beside me for a prayer
She cries out in the garden when the kids have gone to bed
Cries with that mourning in her head
Says ’I wish that I was with you on that cold December night
When a bullet caught your chest and changed my life’

I keep on runnin’ and I’m comin’ up to ya
You feel the rhythm while I’m ridin’ next to ya
You got me shivering like a child now
You keep on burning out my heart just like a fire now
We got these big wheels turning here all around
Like a wild fire burnin’ it to the ground
Down the Highway 1 in the California sun alright
I’m coming for you
I’m coming for you
I’m coming for you
I’m coming for you
You got me rollin’ and I’m trying just to break through
Well I’m a fool I just don’t wanna fool you
You, you wanna feel the bad wind blow
Well that’s where, yeah that’s where, that’s where we’re gonna go
We got these big wheels turning here all around
Like a wild fire burning it to the ground
Down the Highway 1 in the California sun alright
I’m coming for you
I’m coming for you
I’m coming for you
I’m coming for you
You

It’s all for you, it’s all for you

Train Back Home
04:14

I’ve been calling for a friend
And I waited down by the line just to hear you coming
I’ll see you again
’Cause I know you will have my back
When I’m running for you
I put some time on the line
But I’ve never should, ‘cause I always seen you coming
I hope to see you again
’Cause this time I’ll do it right
I’m gonna do it my way
I’m waiting down on the train back home
I’m waiting down on the train back home
I’m waiting down on the train back home
I’m coming home
I loved to see you again
But this time I needed more than you could give me, my love
Wish you knew all the ends
’Cause this one I’ve got to do without you
I’m waiting down on the train back home
I’m waiting down on the train back home
I’m waiting down on the train back home
I’m coming home

I’m coming down from the mountains
I’ve been away for years
I’m coming down from the mountains
To save you from tears
I’m coming down from the mountains I
’ve been away for years
I’m coming down from the mountains
Try to save you from tears
I left my heart in the city
She’s been rambling around
I left my heart in the city
Try to see what I can find
You been tangled up in bottles
And gambled everything we owned
I’m growing tired of your lies now
So I’ll leave you alone
I left my heart in the city
Well she’s been rambling around
Go on and break another heart girl
‘Cause you ain’t breaking mine
Oh, I’m leaving
You heard me
I’m on my way
You won’t see me
Come crawling
Oh no, oh oh
I am gone
Oh, I am gone for good
I am gone
Well I am gone for good
You should have treated me better girl
Just like I know you could
You should have treated me better girl
Just like I know you could
I heard the rumors that you're leaving
Trying to find another town
I bet there’s bottles and casinos
And men to be found
Don’t you go and get your hopes up
You’ve been there before
Every man that you’ve dealt with
Have walked out that door

Midnight Train
04:40
|
|||
|
I’m on my way now
Away from Arkansas
I’ll be back there any day
I just had to get away, from where you are now
All those feelings
I swear I left behind
I can never turn around, you should never cast a doubt
Of who you are now
Freight train is coming back
It’s got me hotter than guns and led
What is the meaning of coming home,
I’ve got places to roam, yeah I got places to roam
(Oh I’ve been waiting)
I’ve been waiting for that midnight train
(Oh I’ve been waiting)
Turn around, and coming back again
I’m never waiting on that train to roll back home
I’m never waiting on that train to roll back home
I’ve been to Moscow
I’ve climbed the mountain tops
I’ve been living in sin
And that’s the way it’s always been
Oh come on now

Now I Know
04:10

|
She comes alive and the moon comes up
She knows her moves, and she won’t ever stop
Drinking shots like its gasoline
We’re both young
She wanna go, I wanna go, baby you know it
Take it slow, slowly
Now I know, that love is all around me
Oh, that love is all around me
She reads my cards as I fold them up
She knows she’s got the upper hand right now
I am the joker in her game tonight
We’re both young
She wanna go, I wanna go, baby you know it
Take it slow, slowly
Now I know, that love is all around me
That love is all around me
That love is all around me
That love is all around me
Hiding from the stars, I know you’re here
Lights keep flashing, I know you’re here
I see your body moving, I know you’re here
As the night goes on, I know you’re here
