Good morning sunlight
tell me how did you sleep
i'm all dazzled and dazed
by the way you've been looking at me
good morning sunlight
you make for some beautiful days
but soon it'll be past noon
you and i are on our way
to having some moonshine again
yeah, we're going to party all daggum night
till you're coming back around that bend
then we're going to have some moonshine again
yeah, we're going to party all daggum night
and hope this will never end
man, i hope this will never end
good morning sunlight
how come it's so cold
i swear i could lie in this rut
till i'm grey, wrinkled & old
good morning sunlight
how i've missed you so bad
i guess i ain't got too much to do
so i'm going to sit around and have
going to have some moonshine again
yeah, we're going to party all daggum night
till you're coming back around that bend
then i'm going to have some moonshine again
yeah, i'm going to party all daggum night
while i hope this iwll never end
man, i hope this will never end

Black Bird

black bird, black bird
tell me what you know
black bird, black bird
i wanna be a hobo
so tell me what you know
i wanna be a hobo
are they sleeping on some hot shot porch
or tucked on down in some grainer hole
are they riding low in some old filthy gondola
or just inside that boxcar door
have they eaten, or are they starved
did they dry out from last night's storm
do they got enough water, smokes and whiskey
do they have a fire in this evening's cold
do they ever get the cash for bus fare
or do they stay stranded out in BFE
always laying low because they've long ago been trespassed
do they have a safe and sound place to sleep

How To Show

i left that town
i paid my toll
i shook some hands
that i wish i never let go
i had it all
it was all you gave
i opened my eyes
and saw them beautiful morning rays
but won't you tell me how to show
i left my bench
off of first & main
i headed north
faced that cold ass frozen rain
i played all night
i paid my dues
the pain i've seen
oh, i swear i've felt it too
but won't you tell me how to show
i left the west
like i left the east
nowhere to rest
i found not one bit of hope to sleep
no place to go
not a soul to call
i packed my bag
& i paid that old blue dog
but won't you tell me how to show
i left your wake
feeling well enough
tried to tell your tale
oh, i paid you love
said my goodbye
& it won't be long
wherever i go
that's right where your soul belongs
but won't you tell me how to show

Redneck Rich

Me & my baby went hunting snow
Me & my baby went hunting snow
Way up north we went hunting snow
I guess you'd say me & my baby
We know where to go, yeah that's right
Me & my baby went hunting snow
Me & my baby went to the sea
Me & my baby went to the sea
Coast to coast, we went to the sea
You can say that me & my baby
We wear our wedding rings, yeah that's right
Me & my baby we went to the sea
Me & my baby went to them sticks
Me & my baby went to them sticks
We robbed that bank and we went to the sticks
You can say me & my baby
We're redneck rich, yeah that's right
Me & my baby went to them sticks

Dear Jon

Old sweet friend of mine
I've been wondering when I die
Are you going to be around
Are you going to be in town
Are you even going to be alive
I know my kin would sure love to see again
Old sweet friend of mine
I've been wondering when I die
Are you still going to have that old box
That you had way back when
I'd love if you would, just sing 'em a song old Jon

Coming Home
02:38
|
|||
|
We've got a long way to go
But I can't wait to see you again
Just putting one foot in front of the other
The sun never set
With each passing mile
I swear there's a smile on your face
So I'm leaving this town
There ain't nothing to stand in my way
Hell ain't that far low
Babe, I'm coming home
As vast as the sea
I've cried every day since you left
Dug too deep of rut
For the doctors to sort through my mess
There's just so many bones
Like a dog, I will bury them all
While I thirst down in hell
I will beg of you please just hold on
Hell ain't that far low
Babe, I'm coming home

Nothing Here Left
03:06
|

|
I'm alone in the end
Blind mute & numb
There is nothing here left
No one will come
In the end I'm alone
Numb mute & blind
There is nothing here left
No one to find
All alone once again
Blind numb & mute
There is nothing here left
No one like you
There's no reaching for love
That's just a life long doused flame
It's just as I've feared
I have pushed you away
There's nothing here left
How it echoes all day
It's just as I've feared
Only I am to blame

Nothing Like The Grave
03:07
|
|||
|
Carry me through them lonesome pine ahead
I've grown so tired of holding on
Lay me down beneath them tall, tall oak
For that's where I want to lie when I'm missing home
Paint a smile on her face where the willows cry
When you know that kind of sadness don't last long
Cause love is strong when it's rooted like a palm
There ain't nothing like the grave that'll do you wrong
Walk a mile in a field of sunflower seed
Where the drought struck Kansas crop woulda had you weak
Rest your mind on some back wood mountain eve
Counting cottonwood that's carried on the breeze
Take her flowers that say nothing like a rose
When you know that's all your mama chose to preach
Hydrangeas sell in this ready steady hell
There ain't nothing like the grave that'll do you grief

Don't Leave
05:20
|
|||
|
Don't leave the door open
You'll let in the cold
Don't leave me hanging
I can hang on my own
Don't leave me lonesome
Crying all night
Don't leave me hoping
You'd stay by side
Don't leave me faithful
Hearing you'd call
Don't leave me drunker
Saying I'd walk
Don't leave me lying
Wanting to die
Don't leave me standing
Wondering why
Don't leave me stranded
Calling me dear
Don't leave me fighting
Holding back tears
Don't leave me shaking
Grey, wrinkled & old
Don't leave me praying
That you're coming home
