Dakota 03:27
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
2.
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

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 05:08
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 02:32
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 Ohio Ohio Ohio Ohio

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 06:02
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

Cincinnati 07:14
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
