"Living Of Love"

"Living Of Love"

For just one chance to find
Love was someone that you loved to find
For just the sense to try
To walk ahead and leave the pain behind
If the days aren't easy and the nights are rough
When they ask you what you're thinking of
Say love, say for me love
Say love, say for me love

Your heart says not again
What kind of mess have you got me in
But when the feelings there
It can lift you up and take you anywhere
But the gravel beneath you and the limbs above
If anybody asks you where your coming from
Say love, say for me love
Say love, say for me love

Say yes we live uncertainty
And disappointments have to be
And everyday we might be facing more
And yes we live in desperate times
But fading words and shaking rhymes
There's only one thing here worth hoping for
With Lucifer beneath you and God above
If either one of them asks you what your living of
Say love, say for me love
Say love, say for me love
Say love, say for me love
Say love, say for me love
Say love, say for me love
Say love, say for me love

"Love Like The Movies"

"Love Like The Movies"

So you want to be in love like the movies
But in the movies they're not in love at all
And with a twinkle in their eyes
They're just saying their lines
So we can't be in love like the movies

Now in the movies they make it look so perfect
And in the background they're always playing the right song
And in the ending there's always a resolution
But real life is more than just two hours long

So you want to be in love like the movies
But in the movies they're not in love at all
And with a twinkle in their eyes
They're just saying their lines
So we can't be in love like the movies

Well you can freeze frame any moment from a movie
Or run the whole damn thing backwards from reel to reel
But I don't see one single solitary light technician
Or one single camera in this moonlit field

I don't want to be in love like the movies
Cause in the movies they're not in love at all
With a twinkle in their eyes
They're just saying their lines
So we can't be in love like the movies.

And with a twinkle in their eyes
They're just saying their lines
And so we can't be in love like the movies.
Nooooooo
We can't be in love like movies

"Matrimony"

"Matrimony"

Things didn't work out like they should,
Farther from how you thought they would
Do you still want my hand?
Do you think I'm still your man?
I'll change everything I can.
Matrimony...

Holy plans and holy gifts
Holy shit what did we get
You said you've got plans of your own
You're gonna work and I'll stay home.
Do you still want my hand?
Do you still think I'm your man?
I'll change everything I can.
Matrimony...

My dog is loud and my dog is wild
We're too young to have a child
Can you keep the dog next week?
I'll be gone the next three.
Do you still want my hand?
Do you still think I'm your man?
I'll change everything I can.
Matrimony...

I ain't through I ain't walking out
Leaving ain't what I'm about,
You may scream and I may shout.
But baby I love you.

"Me And God"

"Me And God"

Well I know a preacher he's a real good man
He speaks from The Good Book and his hand
And helps all people when he can
But me and God don't need a middle man

Well I found God in a soft woman's hair
A long days work and a good sittin' chair
The ups and downs of the treble clef lines
And five miles ago on an interstate sign
My God, my God and I don't need a middle man
My God, my God and I don't need a middle man

Now I don't doubt that The Good Book is true
What's right for me may not be right for you
To church on Sunday I'll stand beside
All the hurtin' people with the fear in their eyes
And I thank the Lord for the country land
Just like Paul I thank him for my hands
And I don't know if my soul is safe
Sometimes I use curse words when I pray
My God, my God and I don't need a middle man
My God, my God and I don't need a middle man
My God, my God and I don't need a middle man
My God, my God and I don't need a middle man

"Morning Song"

"Morning Song"

Hurt so bad
You don't come around here anymore
Worse than that
Nothing's really helping I've been thinking
'bout drinking again

It's alright
If you finally stop caring
Just don't go and tell someone that does
Cause even though I know there's hope in
Every morning song
I have to find that melody alone

Her name became
The flame unto the fire
A magpie on the wire warned of those
Dead until the high
Shamelessly alive until the low.

It's alright
If you finally stop caring
Just don't go and tell someone that does
Cause even though I know there's hope in
Every morning song
I have to find that melody alone

But we can go ahead
If no one notices
What's the point of it?
I have to ask

How you learn to see
Hope inside of me
When you're sure to be
On leave at last

Hurt so bad
More than I expected that it would
Worse than that
It seems to be lasting just a little
Longer than it should

It's alright
If you finally stop caring
Just don't go and tell someone that does
Cause even though I know there's hope in
Every morning song
I have to find that melody alone
I have to find that melody alone
I have to find that melody alone
I have to find that melody alone

"Murder In The City"

"Murder In The City"

If I get murdered in the city
Don't go revenging in my name
One person dead from such is plenty
No need to go get locked away
When I leave your arms
The things I think of
No need to get over alarmed
I'm coming home

I wonder which brother is better
Which one our parents loved the most
I sure did get in lots of trouble
They seemed to let the other go
A tear fell from my father's eye
I wondered what my dad would say
He said, "I love you and I'm proud of you both,
In so many different ways"

If I get murdered in the city
Go read the letter in my desk
Don't bother with all my belongings
Pay attention to the list
Make sure my sister knows I love her
Make sure my mother knows the same
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name

"My Lady And The Mountain"

"My Lady And The Mountain"

I brought you to the river
To watch the fish swim by
And lay around that grassy bank
And breathe in that blue sky

I brought you to these waters
To see what you could see
The difference in the two worlds
Can't help but frighten me

But darlin' it's been a long time
Since I've seen you smile that way at me
Darlin' just feel the warmth here
Happy's not the word
You make me free

I brought you to the mountains
To watch the clouds float by
The wind here gives me shivers
The freedom makes me cry

And being with you darlin'
Forget what we have not
Just being at the top here
To convince anyone there's a god

But darlin' it's been a long time
Since I've seen you smile that way at me
Darlin' just feel the warmth here
Happy's not the word
You make me free

(Make me free now)

I gave you my decision
Regardless wrong or right
The hills, they make me feel good
They make me feel alive

Like singing with my family
On Sunday afternoon
Like laughing in the morning
Wrapped up tight with you

But darlin' it's been a long time
Since I've seen you smile that way at me
Darlin' just feel the warmth here
Happy's not the word
You make me free

"My Last Song To Jenny"

"My Last Song To Jenny"

Oh tell me please
that I don't have to read
between the lines
Hey this is me
and you don't have to keep
something heavy on your mind
Did you sleep?
Not a wink
Well neither did I

I've never been
too good at readin' in
between the lines
So babe spell it out
but you don't have to shout
when you're talking to me
Do you care?
Do you care?
Are you there?
Well neither am I

Don't lock your door
everyone is poor
between the lines
And I could never steal
the sadness you feel
when your changing you mind
Oh my dear
Can you hear?
Well neither can I

I want to live
and I want you to live
happy and free
But I don't know how
to seperate the now
from what used to be
Will you sleep?
Not a wink
Well neither will I

"My Losing Bet"

"My Losing Bet"

I waited for you
A hard thing to do
Knowin' we're through
And though I don't have to choose
To welcome you back or push you away
But wait we're not there yet
And though I'm losing the bet
There's still the sunset

I felt so surprised
When she arrived
Wearing a smile
Smiles soon turn to tears
Out on her back pier
After all the love how did I end here

Oh Lord, Oh Lord...

"Never Been Alive"

"Never Been Alive"

Woah, money won't do the trick
But it will help
Woah, to open the doors we need it to
To help someone else.

Still we won't need it
To turn things around.
I've never been alive, Woah.
I've never been alive, Woah.
I've never been alive like I am now.

Woah, you need only tell me
When you're under the gun.
Woah, if you need someone to lend a hand
Consider it done.

Still you won't need me
To turn things around.
I've never been alive, Woah.
I've never been alive, Woah.
I've never been alive like I am now.
Like I am now.
Like I am now.
Like I am now.
