"A Brand New Song"
"A Brand New Song"
In the sweet belly of the moment
When you realize you've changed
And everything you're after
Has gone down the drain
You're nothing more than just a drifter
As you walk down your road
Not exactly the picture
You thought you'd be sending home
All these places mean nothing
It's the people we count on
Here without a purpose
Gone without a song
Yesterday seemed so sudden
Today seems to have no end
So you button up the buttons
Say goodbye to what has been
Those black and white pictures
That file through your veins
That's the trouble with the future
It always stays the same
And your pride's been shaken
And those people you count on
Here without a purpose
And gone without a song
Without a song
In the uncertainty of a new day
Opportunity may howl
You hear the voice in a new way
In the past you didn't know how
You're old enough to know the difference
Between and enemy and a friend
With the eyes of knowledge upon you
You're able to stand up again
Life is always in motion
And there's new people to count on
Here you may find a purpose
And sing a brand new song
Life is always in motion
New people to count on
Here we find a purpose
To sing a brand new song
Brand new song
Sing a brand new song

"A Graceful Fall"
"A Graceful Fall"
It's not a graceful fall
From dreams to the truth
There's not a lotta hope here
If you got nothing to lose
When your vision's no good
When you're flat on the ground
Yeah the future's not bright
When you're falling down
'Cause I'm sick of life
Yeah it's easy to do
When everything so hard
Has been handed to you
Yeah I'm sick of life
'Cause it's lost its fun
I'll see you in the next world
If there is really one
Well I'm not falling up the ladder
I'm just putting in my days
My pockets are empty
And my aces won't play
Yeah I'm movin' down the street
And I'm going nowhere
It's not a graceful fall
When you don't care
'Cause I'm sick of life
And it's easy to do
When everything so hard
Has been handed to you
'Cause I'm sick of life
And it's lost its fun
I'll see you in the next world
If there is really one
Yeah, I'm sick of life
'Cause I'm falling down
I'll see you in the next world
If you're still around
"A Graceful Fall"
It's not a graceful fall
From dreams to the truth
There's not a lotta hope here
If you got nothing to lose
When your vision's no good
When you're flat on the ground
Yeah the future's not bright
When you're falling down
'Cause I'm sick of life
Yeah it's easy to do
When everything so hard
Has been handed to you
Yeah I'm sick of life

"A Little Night Dancin'"
"A Little Night Dancin'"
Well west of Zion
They got a hot spot brewing
Handcuffs and kisses
For the people who live there
Guitar player's playing
Cinderella saying
Hey boys get that spoon to my nose
And we'll run through the midnight air
[Chorus:]
Night, night, whoa night dancin'
Hey just a little, little, little night dancin'
Night, night, whoa night dancin'
Hey just a little, little, little night dancin'
Sodom and Gomorah
They run the roadhouse
They keep everything jumping
As the drummer keeps the beat
And it's really something when those kids start bitchin'
Yeah it starts me itching
As I jump to my feet to go
[Chorus 2x]

"A Ride Back Home"
(with Karen Fairchild of Little Big Town)
"A Ride Back Home"
(with Karen Fairchild of Little Big Town)
Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home
I've been out here in this world too long on my own
I won't bother you no more
If you can just get me in the door
Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home
When I started out I was so young and so strong
I just let it roll off my back when things went wrong
Now it's starting to get to me
All of this inhumanity
Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home
You wouldn't know it by looking at me now
But I was showing some promise once upon a time
But it's gone now
And it ain't coming back
My time's come and gone
It's as simple as that
Hey Jesus this world is just too troublesome for me
I try to fight off all these devils but I'm just too weak
When I'm out here walking all alone
I feel like taking my life but I won't
Too big a coward, can you give me a ride back home
Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home
Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home

"Again Tonight"
"Again Tonight"
Run in circles again tonight
Hump the moon again tonight
Gonna wear my dancin' shoes out tonight
Gonna have myself a big time again tonight
[Chorus:]
Again tonight
Again tonight
Again tonight
Girl's got lightning
Underneath her skirt
Boys try to touch it
For whatever it's worth
In the morning
She's just gonna be hurt
She wonders is it worth it again tonight
[Chorus]
Gonna catch that cloud tonight
Nine, cloud nine
Gonna try and catch that cloud tonight
Nine, cloud nine
Again tonight
Can you hold me baby again, again tonight
Can you sing
Can you dance baby
Can you sing
Can you hold me again tonight
Baby can you sing
Go ego trip'n again tonight
Tell the same lies they work all right
Gonna wear my dancin' shoes out tonight
Probably make a fool of myself again tonight
[Chorus]

"Ain't Even Done With The Night"
"Ain't Even Done With The Night"
Well our hearts beat like thunder
I don't know why they don't explode
You got your hands in my back pockets
And sam cooke's singin' on the radio
You say that I'm the boy
Who can make it all come true
Well, I'm tellin' ya that I don't know
If I know what to do
You say that's all right, hold tight
Well, I don't even know
If I'm doin' this right
Well, all right, hold tight
We can stay out all day
We can run around all night
Well, all night, all night
Well, it's time to go home
And I ain't even done with the night
Well I don't know
No good come-ons
And I don't know no cool lines
I feel the heat of your frustration
I know it's burnin' you up deep down inside
You say that I'm the boy
Who can make it all come true
Well I'm tellin' ya that I don't know
If I know what to do
You say that's all right, hold tight
Well, I don't even know
If I'm doin' this right
Well, all right, hold tight
We can stay out all day
We can run around all night
Well, all night, all night
Well, it's time to go home
And I ain't even done with the night

"Alley Of The Angels"
"Alley Of The Angels"
Another sad sad day
The world's KO'd again
And I used to always say
No one could hit, like my old man
Do you really have to be so tough
Is it necessary to talk so (son of a bitchin) rough
Hey ain't there some place I could fit in
Could I find a little action there
Hey wait just a minute, I don't really care
Any place is bound to be better
Than where I'm standin'
Yeah I wish that for just one day
Hey ya know I wouldn't have to be afraid
And ashamed of its work
And its disgusting glory
[Chorus:]
Welcome to the alley of the angels
Hey they say your eyes can gleam
When you can a just tell the truth all night
(And you can a chase them dreams all night)
Welcome to the alley of the angels
(They say) The reckless young hearts
Beat to (the flash of) the neon lights
Look at those kids, they're such a mess
Just can't teach 'em no respect
They want the world
And they want the best on a silver platter
Hey but ain't that, sometime son
The kids grew up and the world moved on
They're just lookin' for some place in the sun
So they would not shatter
[Chorus]
Do you really have to be so tough
Is it necessary to talk so (son of a bitchin) rough
Hey ain't there some place I could fit in

"American Dream"
"American Dream"
I had a face so cute made a young girl cry
And I could blow 'em away with just a wink of my eye
I got all dolled up on a Saturday night
Can't find a lady so I'll start a fight
Hey but ain't that the American Dream
But at School the young boys would assemble down in the parking lot
And we spoke of the homecoming queen and all the goodies she's got
Well those stories would choke a semi
And every dare was do or die
Hey but ain't that the American Dream
[Bridge:]
Well I grew up believin' I could do what I wanted to do
When I got a little older I found that it just wasn't true
There's gotta be a place for me
Where I can out-be just what I want to be
Hey but ain't that the American Dream
Some of the girls are out teaching high school biology
And all of my boyfriends they work down at Cummmins factory
But me I'm still out on the streets trying to locate some destiny
Hey but ain't that the American Dream
[Bridge]

"American Fool"
"American Fool"
Some people say I’m obnoxious and I’m lazy
Some people say I take advantage of the younger girls and they’re right
Some people say should have been taught a few more manners at home
Some say I’m chauvinistic better of just to leave me alone
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do
If I can’t please myself could I really please you?
[Chorus]
Being brought up
The American fool
Being brought up
The American fool
Some people like to talk and tell you their ideals and how it’s supposed to be
Some people are fools like me and say what’s on their mind immediately
Some people don’t say at all and some just care too much
Some people, some people, some people are driving me crazy
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do
When I can’t please myself could I really please you?
Some people say I’m obnoxious and I’m lazy
Some people say I take advantage of the younger girls and they’re right
