Dakota

You’ve seen the sun rise above the hill
Of the dusky Dakota morning
You’ve heard the sad song of Buffalo Bill
Echo like rain without warning
I ain’t no drinker, but I know a few things
About hittin the bottle before noon
I ain’t no gambler, but I still wear this ring
Cause I will not give up my faith in you

Too Close
03:21
|

It’s good to finally settle down
You bought a bar in your grandma’s town
Shake a night that’s fadin quick
You’re chasin hard that morning twitch
Don’t get too close
It just gets harder
Competition
That’s not enough
You’re pickin up the broken bits
But it’s the image can’t be fixed
You cough to clear away the sound
You should have learned to just stay down
Don’t get too close
It just gets harder
Competition
That’s not enough
Enough
Enough
Don’t get too close
It just gets harder
That old competition
Well it’s not enough
Enough
Don’t get too close
It just gets harder
That old competition
It still ain’t easy
Easy
Easy

Hate What I Love
04:42
|

Well I hate what I love about you
That encouragin smile is like a mile of disappointment to prove
Think I want to see you cryin and then retreat behind the close of your eyes
But the devil’s sittin here on my shoulder and he’s tellin me lies
Well I hate what I love about you
Well I hate what I love about you
Your eyes are always lyin awake though I’m sleepin til noon
I got something in my skull that makes me sick, but in a different way
And my shoulders are cavin in with despair, it’s an affair with decay
Well I hate what I love about you
Why you with me now?
You know there ain’t no doin right by me babe
I’m a road to nowhere
Because I need you in a way that I could never give it back
The way I love you girl, it’s like a heart attack, it’s cause of you
You know it’s true
But let me tell it to you anyway
Well I hate what I thought you loved in me
Cause what I am is never the man who I wanted to be
I got this weight I can’t shake and my feet they won’t hold to the ground
I got mouths that need feedin and their eyes they just keep pushin me down, down
Well I hate what I love about you
Well I hate what I love about you
Well I hate what I love about you
Well I hate what I love about you

New Orleans

Turn up that radio station
Keeps my eyes wide though the signal’s fading
Well it don’t matter anyway
Cause church bells and highway smells
Cut through the cold Kentucky sunrise
It ain’t my own wishing that leads me to the road
That’s taking us apart
It’s taking us apart
I can’t say where I been
Or what I done, but now and again
I catch my wearied eyes staring sideways through the window
Marie, I’ll see you on the other side
Please know I never meant to make you cry
I’d do you better if I could do it all again
But that’s just the way it goes
That’s just the way it goes
Ooowee, sweet Marie
Rock me one more time
I’m rollin home to New Orleans
And leaving my love behind
Birds sing songs of seasons gone
My love sings a song of morning
Well Jesus knows I’ll try to make it
We fought for fun and we fought for gold
But those were the days of old
To every story comes an ornamental curtain
But Jesus only knows
Yeah Jesus only knows
Ooowee, sweet Marie
Rock me one more time
I’m rollin home to New Orleans
And leaving my love behind
That’s just the way it goes
Jesus only knows
Ooowee, sweet Marie
Rock me one more time
I’m rollin home to New Orleans
And leaving my love behind
Broken arms, busted hearts
And a beat up Cadillac
I’m rollin home to New Orleans
And never coming back
Yeah I’m rollin home to New Orleans
And never coming back

If you don’t take her, I will change
Oh my God, oh my God
I’ll care for her and act my age
Oh my God, oh my God
And I keep my hope inside
And I keep my head up high
We both know you’re never gonna make it out alive
But you wouldn’t be you if you didn’t try
Mary starts to lose her hair
Oh my love, oh my love
She prays to God but he don’t care
Oh my love, oh my love
And I keep my hope inside
And I keep my head up high
We both know you’re never gonna make it out alive
But you wouldn’t be you if you didn’t try

Ohio

It’s a moneymaker
It’s a heart in thrall
It’s a common caper
To get you on the wall
I don’t know everything
But I know that you’re afraid
Why’d they have to make it
And why’d they have to make it here
Don’t they know you hate it
Don’t they care
I don’t know everything
But I know that you’re afraid

What's A Man
05:00
|

What’s a man to do
Without a woman to break his heart
What’s a man to do
Without a woman to wrench his brain apart
With no one not to listen
He’s less inclined to speak
And no sins to be forgiven
What’s left to make him weak
What’s a man to do
There ain’t no ache to make his move
What’s a man to do without a woman to break his heart
See a man must be alone
To get to thinking about what he ain’t got
When a man tries to atone
He just gets to drinking to cast away his thoughts
And there ain’t much sense trying
If a man ain’t on his knees
So just let that man lay dying
If it’s who he needs to be
See a man who found direction
When a woman came along
He can’t get no erection
Until that woman’s gone
You know he never meant to hurt her
He only meant to knock her down
But that expression on his face
You know it ain’t no frown
What’s a man to do
What’s a man to do
What’s a man to do
Oh what’s a man
What’s a man
What’s a man
What’s a man to do
What’s a man to do
What’s a man to do without a woman to break his heart

Vaseline
05:02
|

Get a job you’ll never hold
To chase a fucking centerfold, oh
Tell your dad to pay the rent
Or else call the government in
Eat a meal but puke it back
Keep an eye on your fat stack, jack
Go and chase the poet’s dream
Fast speed and Vaseline
Take a trip but steal your gas
Soldiers signs are on the overpass, yas
Write a book, start a war
Politics and trap door floors
Hold it quick but come apart
The flies are sticking to your old guard’s heart
Pull it loose and rip the seam
Cord tethered to your city dream scene
Credit cards and circus tents
A blue plate special once tuition’s been spent

Jacob
04:16
|

All ye faithful, lift ye faith up
(Born of night, born of day)
Stand and sing this song of Jacob
(Born of night, born of day)
Teach your sons and teach your daughters
Prayers to guide them on their way
When they lay down, when they wake up
(Born of night, born of day)
Story tells that Jacob’s mother
(Born of night, born of day)
Chose one son to serve the other
(Born of night, born of day)
Made her bed and slept in solace
Feared and flawless, God’s her grave
Jacob stood and faced his brother
(Born of night, born of day)
Jacob, Jacob, cloaked in silence
(Born of night, born of day)
Time may tell if nothing’s timeless
(Born of night, born of day)
Boats and planes may shake your islands
Tales of pilots lost in space
(Born of night, born of day)
Jacob, Jacob, close your eyelids
(Born of night, born of day)

Oh God

I thought I saw you alive yesterday
Don’t know what I was thinking
No coming back I know once you have been swallowed
I can’t imagine how anyone’d get better
This place can make you feel rushed
If it were me I would never open my eyes again
Oh God, look what you have done
You took a mother from her child and a father away from his son
Oh God, look what you have done
You took a mother from her child and a father away from his son
I’ve had a mind to ask myself
Why the devil is bad
Sometimes I hear that it’s because he was good when he was little
Here I’m thinking that the world is over
Since spring’s so far away
I’ve made mistakes but none of them so far have ended like they did for you
Oh God, look what you have done
You took a mother from her child and a father away from his son
Oh God, look what you have done
You took a mother from her child and a father away from his son
Oh God, oh God
Oh God, oh God
Oh God, oh God
Oh God, oh God
Oh God, oh God
Oh God, oh God
Oh God, oh God
Oh God, oh God

You go at it sideways
It’s a life that suits you well
You did a service they say
By blowin that man to hell
I know it keeps you floatin
But it’s a demon too
So make your way to Cincinnati, friend
Your next hit waits on you
Well I know it brings in money
But you strike a bitter deal
Cause you got that goddamn devil and
Your soul is his to steal
It don’t matter who you’re knockin
Every man’s a father’s child
So make your way to Cincinnati, friend
But know the lord ain’t on your side
Don’t let ‘em fool you
You ain’t no honest man
Don’t let ‘em tell you
There ain’t blood upon those hands
I know that they are killers
But that makes you a killer too
So make your way to Cincinnati, friend
Your next hit waits on you
