Pining
03:33
|

|
As long as the willow's been weeping
As long as the sky's been blue
As long as the sun's been rising
You know I've been pining for you
You know I've been pining for you
As long as the days are in August
As long as the Spring time blooms
As long as there's snow on the mountain
I'll just keep pining for you
I'll just keep pining for you
As long as the canyons are empty
As long as the North Star's true
As long as there's salt in the ocean
You know I'll be pining for you
You know I'll keep pining for you

Give Up On You
05:21
|
|||
|
On these city streets
The people are so confused
Cause they walk around, like they found the truth
On these dead end roads
We just ignore the signs
Yeah we crash into walls, they're built of our own designs
But I wont' give up on you
I won't give up on you
I won't give up on you
All these buildings speak
They remind you that you're small
But you're not afraid, and you think you can take them all
So I won't give up on you
I won't give up on you
I won't give up on you
I won't give up on you
I won't give up on you
I won't give up on you
I won't give up on you
I won't give up on you

Long Way to Abilene
03:32
|
|||
|
I'm just driving by my lonesome
No one here will call me by my name
I went west when I left Tulsa
Cause the bridge over the Red River's in flames
Amarillo's not the place I need to be
New Mexico, ain't that far away
But I'll be traveling back down highway 20 east
Cause I took the long way to Abilene
Yeah I took the long way to Abilene
I don't trust a broken arrow
Most of them are just too bent to aim
You can load 'em in your crossbow
But you know that arrow just don't fly the same
Amarillo's not the place I need to be
New Mexico ain't that far away
I'll be traveling back down highway 20 east
Cause I took the long way to Abilene
Yeah I took the long way to Abilene
Yeah took the long way to Abilene

Texarkana Tonight
02:27
|
|||
|
West Virginia, I'm coming on through
My old Kentucky, I'll be seeing you soon
My Tennessee, oh - you sound good to me
And Muscle Shoals I'm gonna pass you by
Cause I lay my head
Under Texas skies
And I'm gonna be in Texarkana tonight
Louisiana, I'll see you next time
When I'm east of Houston
And South of the Arkansas line
Mississippi, lord I hope you miss me
And Georgia you're always on my mind
But I lay my head
Under Texas skies
And I'm gonna be in Texarkana tonight

Carolina King
03:25
|
|||
|
I try not to think
About what I left in Virginia
But when I call my kin
They tell me again
You're the happiest you've ever been
I try not to think
But the whiskey
Once it gets in ya
I reminisce and I start to miss
the way you looked at me
back then
And I know, I know
He treats you like a queen
But if you come back to Charleston
I'll be your Carolina King
I miss my boy
I hope that he had a good Christmas
And it's late July, and a little late to try
To be present
With a gift
And I know, I know
He treats you like a queen
But if you come down to Charleston
I'll be your Carolina King
The last time I called
Your mama said boy don't you call here
She's done moved on, and you did her wrong
Then you went and wrote
A sad Country song
And you know
I sure as hell know
He treats you like a queen
But come down to Charleston
and make me a Carolina King
So I know
And I know
He treats you like a queen
So come back to Charleston
I'll be your Carolina King

Strange Emotion
04:45
|
|||
|
It's a strange emotion
He's never felt before
His heart's in motion
He shows up at your door
He's the one, who's always made you smile
But when the hero doesn't win
It's a strange emotion
It's a strange emotion
It's a strange emotion
He just can't ignore
A sweet devotion
Starting at the core
He's the one, who's always made you smile
Your lover's scorned
He's tainted with denial
But when the hero doesn't win
He learns to fly again
And when the hero doesn't win
It's a strange emotion
It's a strange emotion
It's a strange emotion
It's a strange emotion
It's a strange emotion

Sweetly Possessed
04:41
|
|||
|
Did I ever tell you
You're the one I love the most
But since you've been gone
I've been holding on
To your ghost
I tried to rearrange
This house we used to share
But in the corner of my eye
I still see you standing there
When I'm trying to move on
One step at a time
I'm gonna crawl before I climb
You're still in my head
You're still in my bed
And I'm trying to forget
But I'm sweetly possessed
I'm sweetly possessed
How can I forget you?
I feel you when I breath
You're with me when I sleep
And when I wake up and repeat
When I'm trying to move on
One step at a time
I'm gonna crawl before I climb
You're still in my head
You're still in my bed
And I'm dying to forget
But I'm sweetly possessed
I'm sweetly possessed

So Far Down
04:01
|
|||
|
Hey!
What are you doing when you're not playing dead?
Yeah!
Why are you starving when you're being fed
Cause you're so far down
You're so far down
You're so far down
So far down
You're so far down
You might as well be lying in a grave
You might as well be lying in a grave
Hey!
Why are you crying when you're not feeling sad?
Yeah!
Why are you smiling when you should be getting mad?
Cause you're so far down
You're far down
You're so far down
So far down
You're so far down
You're so far down
So far down
You're so far down
You might as well be lying in a grave
You might as well be lying in a grave
You might as well be lying in a grave

True Religion
03:00
|
|||
|
Lord I know there's a right way
And a wrong way to live
For the things I've done, though I am guilty
I've never asked you to forgive
Would you save a soul with no contrition?
Cause if you would
I think I found true religion
I think I found true religion
Lord I know it's a long way
Ain't nothing guaranteed
Would you guide my hand, and don't let no man
Make my body bleed
Would you save a soul with no contrition?
Cause if you would
I think I found true religion
I think I found true religion
I think I found true religion
Yes I found true religion
Yes I found true religion
Yes I found true religion

Cradle to the Grave
04:52
|
|||
|
I don't wanna die in this town
So every now and then
I try to burn it to the ground
And there's a pack of thieves with who I
Run around
But that's the story of my life
From the cradle to the grave
I don't wanna lie but I do
When no one else but me
Would ever need to know the truth
You know my better angels
Gave up in my youth
But it's the story of my life
From the cradle to the grave
I don't wanna find a new love
Cause no one else compares
To the one I'm dreaming of
You know I went and lost her
She said she had enough
It's the story of my life
From the cradle to the grave
From the cradle to the grave
From the cradle to the grave

Love Like That Again
03:44
|
|||
|
Time will heal
And time will tell
These times are hard and I ain't doing well
Got worn out jeans
And a worn down soul
My pockets aren't the only things with holes
If I love like that again
I'd be drunker than a sailor that never learned to swim
If I love like that again
Wind up like an orphan turned away again
If I love like that again
If I love like that again
I've been so lost
Like a vagabond
These days I question why I travel on
Got a heavy heart
And a fool to blame
Too bad I know those are one and the same
If I love like that again
I'd be drunker than a sailor that never learned to swim
If I love like that again
Wind up like an orphan turned away again
If I love like that again
If I love like that again

Company of Thieves
03:53
|
|||
|
I've known beggars and I've known priests
I've known gamblers in the house of the king
With the things they've done
And the things I've seen
I still prefer the company of thieves
I've known sinners that know no pain
I've known liars that win at their own game
With the things they've done
And the things I've seen
I still prefer the company of thieves
Yeah I still prefer the company of thieves
They don't make you fall in love
If only to disarm you
When you look them in the eye
You know they're trying to harm you
So I still prefer the company of thieves
Yeah I still prefer the company of thieves

Clockwork
04:59
|
|||
|
I've had no peace of mind since you've been gone
You traveled on to see parts of the world
You left your luggage and you hitchhiked back
Through the rain, to my welcome mat
But maybe you deserve to stay outside
Cause I've watched you walk away
So many times
And now that you're here
I can't help but draw you near
Just like clockwork, every time
Just like clockwork, every time
You came in like a storm with the wind and rain
You washed away the boardwalk on the shore
You crash like tidal waves on empty streets
And we search for what we lost along the beach
So maybe you deserve to stay outside
Cause I've watched you walk away so many times
And now that you're here
I can't help but draw you near
Just like clockwork, every time
Just like clockwork, every time
