"Three County Highway"

"Three County Highway"


I drive a three county highway
And every one of them town's . got a firework show
It's 4th of July and I'm just now getting home,
On the horizon I can see them all unfold

It's been a warm winter and a cold spring
Everywhere I've been has felt wrong to me
Everything I kept
What i never should have thrown away
I wanted you for all those yesterdays

I was wishing for you one Sunday morning
Walkin down the road in some debtor's town
From every church a hymn came blendin' in
and everyone of them wantin' to be found

Did you say it took a long time to find
a lot less man and less harm done?
Did you say it took a long time to find
a handsome one to keep you young?

One day I'm gonna make it up to you,
one day we're gonna laugh instead of cry.
One day I'm coming home to stay, it's true,
and baby, that's the last ticket I'm ever gonna buy.

It's been a warm winter and a cold spring,
everywhere I've been has felt wrong to me.
So put your head on my heart and lay down in the crook of my arm.
Everything's okay, I've been found once again,
I've been found again.

"Three Hits"

"Three Hits"


Three hits to the heart son
And it's poetry in motion
One could send you down the river
Three's a strange way to be delivered
Would you trade your words for freedom?
That's a barter for a blind man
Three hits to the heart son
And it's poetry in motion
Are you leveed like a treasure?
Only words can help me find you
And this world's a fickle measure
I will painfully remind you
From a wise man to your red hand
You lay covered in our best sins
Three hits to the heart son
And it's poetry in motion
Well I dream you constant stranger
With your best bloods and your anger
You say, "Mother do you claim me?"
My beloved do you blame me?
Well the first two might release you
But the last one sings in me son
Three hits to the heart son
And it's poetry in motion
Three hits to the heart son
And the last one sings in me

"Tried To Be True"

"Tried To Be True"


From baby to best with no second test,
Little storms destroy you.
Here is the fame they promised to give you,
Taking the place of my hand now.
Did you try to be true?
What separates me from you?
What separates me from you now?
Did you borrow the soul,
The soul that you sell now?
What does your conscience tell you?
Where are the demons
Of your desire?
Why does my love destroy you?
Did you try to be true?
What separates me from you?
What separates me from you now?
I said I tried to be true.
What separates me from you.
I said I tried, tried to be true.
What separates me from you.
What separates me from you now?
Did you try to be true?
What separates me from you?
What separates me from you now?
So where is the fame,
Where is the fortune?
Where is the world that denies you?
Who is to blame,
When my heart finally forfeits
To a road that will only misguide you?
Did you try to be true?
What separates me from you?
What separates me from you now?
Did we try to be true?
What separates me from you?
Did we try, try to be true?
What separates me from you:
Did you try to be true?
What separates me from you?
What separates me from you now?
I bought my love a hunger
More precious than a stone.
All these fatal flowers,
Did I misguide you?
(Where is the world that denies you)
(Try to be true)
Did you try to be true?
What separates me from you?
What separates me from you now?

"Trouble"

"Trouble"


Trouble came around here
Here in the South we fix something to eat
Steam risin' up off the greenery and we welcome the strangers we meet
Alien sick growing in these walls
Like moss in a crack that time made
I brush a guy in the airport whistling it's a small world after all
And the prices are higher but the kids still selling lemonade
Get to the point of it get to the sense of it
I'm in a hurry to get through it
Hurricane flag flappin' in a bad storm
Same color of the spider underneath my nail
That bit me in my dream
And who would take out the Dominican Republic
And send God's sweet children floating down a poison stream
Secret society of conference rooms
I pledge my allegiance to the dollar
And when the clergy take a vote all the gays will pay again
Cause there's more than one kind of criminal white collar
Get to the point of it get to the sense of it
I'm in a hurry to get through it
One day the war will stop & we'll grow a peaceful crop
And a girl can get a wife & we can bring you back to life
Sacks of flour and rice or poker chips greasy palms and systems underhanding
And maybe we'll take a walk on Pluto
But be no closer to the understanding
Get to the point of it get to the sense of it
I'm in a hurry to get through it

"True Romantic"

"True Romantic"


Baby, I've got the best intentions
I just can't do it
Baby, I've got the truest day
But I just can't win
Baby, I've got a good vibration
But I just can't play it
Baby, I spent my only fortune
On the wages of sin
But you, you gotta be extra forgiving
And you gotta be
Super strong
You gotta be
A true romantic
I want you to look the other way
Everything goes wrong
Baby, if you took all the good stuff and you put it all together
And you took all the bad stuff and you threw it all away
Would I still be the girl that suits your fancy
Would I still be the boy that rocks your world
I.....
If you get lonely
Trouble on the chaos
If you get bored
Since you walked away
Remember what I told you
When the night was darkest
You can leave me all you need to
Baby I'm here to stay
Baby, I'm gonna be extra forgiving
And I'm gonna be super strong
Cuz baby, I...
I'm a true romantic
I'm gonna look the other way
When everything goes wrong
I.....

"Virginia Woolf"

"Virginia Woolf"


Some will strut and some will fret see this an hour on the stage others will not but they'll sweat in their hopelessness in the rage we're all the same the men of anger and the women of the page they published your diary and that's how i got to know you key to the room of your own and a mind without end here's a young girl on a kind of a telephone line through time the voice at the other end comes like a long-lost friend so i know i'm alright my life will come my life will go still i feel it's alright I just got a letter to my soul when my whole life is on the tip of my tongue empty pages for the no longer young the apathy of time laughs in my face you say each life has its place the hatches were battened thunderclouds rolled and the critics stormed battles surrounded the white flag of your youth but if you need to know that you weathered the storm of cruel mortality a hundred years later i'm sitting here living proof so you know it's alright your life will come your life will go still you'll feel it's
alright someone will get a letter to your soul when your whole life was on the tip of you tongue empty pages for the no longer young the apathy of time laughed in your face did you hear me say each life has its place the place where you hold me is dark in a pocket of truth the moon has swallowed the sun and the light of the earth and so it was for you when the river eclipsed your life but sent your soul like a message in a bottle to me and it was my rebirth so we know it's alright life will come and life will go still we know it's alright someone will get a message to your soul then you know it's alright and you feel it's alright (when my whole life is on the tip of my tongue empty pages for the no longer young) then you know it's alright and you feel it's alright (each life has its place you say each life has its place) it's alright

"Walk Away"

"Walk Away"


We used to walk in each other arm, "one on one," that's what you said. now the moon is a sliver in our eye, we stumble bleeding on this broken glass.

There's too much repetition, you know you're past the point of sane. all this broken glass you left behind, won't let you make a clean, clean walk away.

Now we're crossing from the sacred ground, where we once held each other, each other's names. when the words are sparse, we feel we're so profound, but babe you know all i feel, i feel so ashamed.

There's too much repetition, you know you're past the point of sane. all this broken glass you left behind, won't let you make a clean, clean walk away.

There was a time when we gave everything, and it was true, true enough to bleed. but now you feel that you've got nothing left. if there's nothing to lose, then there's nothing to gain. walk away.

There's too much repetition, you know you're past the point of sane. all this broken glass you left behind, won't let you make a clean, clean walk away.

You know i'd still hold you, if i could, it's hard not to try and change try to change your mind. i'm a pillar of salt, i want you to understand. this is the last time, the last time i ever look behind. walk away.

There's too much repetition, you know you're past the point of sane. all this broken glass you left behind, won't let you make a clean, clean walk away.

"War Rugs"

"War Rugs"


War rugs in the hallway
Prayer rugs on the wall
Who's walkin' tall?
I should be kneelin'

[Bridge]
Soldier girl, oh, soldier boy
Tell me what to say
When I see you at Christmas leave
Tattooed and hazed

[Chorus]
Oh, we're all growin' up together
We're all makin' a mark on it
We're all damnin' the consequences
I want to understand
The soul you have in there

Young Egypt seized the moment
And brought that bastard down
You've got technology
And you've got archeology
We treated you like hunters
Until you kicked the goal
Now we're claimin' you for our team
'Cause what do we know?

Oh, we're all growin' up together
We're all watchin' the video
We're all damnin' the consequences
I want to understand
The soul you have in there

[Instrumental Interlude]

Soldier boy, oh, soldier girl
Tell me what to say
When I see you at Christmas leave

Oh, we're all growin' up together
We're all takin' it pass or fail
We're all damnin' the consequences
I want to understand
The soul it takes to stand
For something bigger than
Myself...
