Bored Out Of My Mind
03:07
|

I’m bored out of my mind
sitting on production line
with a key pad and a lever
Lord, I wish that I was born clever
I could’ve studied spanish or math
So many questions I could’ve asked
but I’m stuck her pressing these buttons
So I can make a little more than nothing
//CHORUS//
I’m bored out of my mind
I’m bored out of my mind
I’m bored out of my mind
I wish I had another line
I’ve got no dog and I got no wife
TV dinner and a box of wine
My shirt’s covered in barbeque sauce
my buddies at the station call me hoss
I’m bored out of my mind
sitting on the welfare line
filing for single and divorced
my life is a song without a chorus
//CHORUS//
There’s a QT down on 361
It’s the closest thing to having fun
A hotdog on the warming rack
a beer, some chips and a tittie mag
I’m bored out of my mind
while I’m blowing another line
two hookers on the couch right next to me
wish I had something more than methamphetamine
//CHORUS//

Locomotion
02:36
|

I got locomotion under my feet
in Holland, Michigan
As the boys run from the police
and I drink blackberry wine in my kitchen
Remember your blouse on that sunny day
all the flower’s embraced your legs
we were running in the grass
Holy ghost inside of my heart
as the lover hides in the dark
Oh, the ghost of my past reacts in ways
to hold me back
We would ride down 14th avenue
Like a streetlight comin’ on
We were running from the dogs
I got locomotion under my feet
in Holland, Michigan
As the boys run from the police
and I drink blackberry wine in my kitchen
Remember your blouse on that sunny day
all the flower’s embraced your legs
we were running in the grass
We would ride down 14th avenue
Like a streetlight comin’ on
We were running from the dogs

Don't Walk Away
04:05
|

Looking for answers in this lonesome pine
Trying to negotiate with someone else's mind
Is like I’m trying to cut a deal with the devil himself
The clock strikes twelve, The train is headed straight to hell
Don't walk away, Don't walk away
Don't walk away, Don’t walk away
Till you tell me why you gotta go
You’re faster than a fox running through the vines
You’re sadder than a story in the New York Times
Slow down, I have a couple of questions for you
What did I do? Tell what did I do to you?
//CHORUS//
//SOLO//
Is it something that I said? Is it something that I've done?
Double talk is twice as much and half as much as some
Don't walk away I know it's hard for me to say
Don’t leave me here to stumble through the darkness alone
//CHORUS//

Dark Hollow
02:50
|
|||
I'd rather be in some dark hollow
where the sun don't ever shine
than to be here alone knowing that you're gone
it would cause me to lose my mind
So blow your whistle freight train
carry me further down the track
cause I'm goin' away, I'm leavin today
I'm goin' and I ain't comin' back
I'd rather be in some dark hollow
where the sun don't ever shine
than to be in some big city
in a small room with you love on my mind
//CHORUS//

Back In The Bottle
02:41
|
|||
You can’t put that whiskey back in the bottle
But you can take your foot off of throttle
Into the black, out of the blue
You can’t put that whiskey back in the bottle
There’s a life that I lead back when I was younger
Full of love, not regret and young man’s hunger
When my love left me for another man’s arms
I took to the whiskey and slept in the barn
//CHORUS//
Here I sit on the corner of a lost highway
Thumbin’ for ride to somewhere far away
The devil stopped by and he let me in
Now I’m rolling down the wicked path of sin
//CHORUS//

Deep Shade Of Blue
03:54
|
|||
I was lonesome when you left me
I felt like I had died
On the wrong side of the morning
Oh, the tears drop that I cried
There was no deeper sorrow
There was no deeper shame
Just a deep shade of blue
dripping through my head
A deep shade of blue
heavier than lead
I can't recall the color
of losing a lover
Just a deep shade of Blue
I was lonesome when you left me
for your singular vacation
Everytime I think of your love
I sing a lamentation
I'm jaded by the hue
jogging up my veins
//CHORUS//
My hands are dried, My hands untied
My heart is open too
My mind is clear, It's free of fear
And this deep shade of blue
This deep shade of blue
//CHORUS//

Hope & Desolation
03:42
|
|||
Everyday I walk around this town
looking for something to hold onto
It's like the sirens have gone and let me down
leaving me with a head full of issues
there are people who won't look me in the eye
I do my dance they don't blink as they walk by
Here I stand on the corner of Broad
I'll stay here lost and alone in my thoughts
//CHORUS//
Here I am
take me where you want
There's no light down where I've gone
I'm the only flicker
I hope the wind doesn't blow me out
and leave me dead, blackened like a wicker
Cause it's all I've got
in this land full of desolation
Is Canaan somewhere in my dreams or
just beyond the corner of this lonely street?
//CHORUS//
Down to the river
Where it shines like the sun
Out to the Ocean
Where all the rivers run
Down to the Core
where the spirit meets the bone
Up to the heavens
to my eternal home
//CHORUS//
