bo,
you sure talk --
talk as if you were tall
but that's all that i hear
so this is how it goes
bo,
if you could fit in my pocket why don't you
climb on in till the mornin
when i put an ole pair of
britches on
bo,
you know where you been
you know where you can always go

how could i stay?
how could i go?
i ought to pack my things so i can leave before she is gone.
how could i taste putting victory into play for us
while we'd pack one in for me and we'd fire rounds off at God?
how could i say?
oh, how would i know?
if we're putting plans back into motion, you'll be the only one left beside this locomotive.
boy i'm mean.
singing about while you're thinking it out.
i got two friends of mine but i can't call 'em friends in time.

this world never looked so fine
than to realize that it's easier than to find a love like your's and mine
suit yourself kid because when i die i ain't gonna be a taxidermy
i'll just be done counting seconds on your idle hands.

Very Vague

it's like i found you in the dark
making honesty into words like me
it looked sad from far away i'm sure
when you met me
how your face reminded me of the birds on her wrist
dead skin they will soon be but still such a beautiful piece
i remember when i met her
the day those birds came around
i was thinking how could she
how could she
how could she leave me
with such sin

Welcoming Manner

oh, how it shows like the nails in a coffin
you hide the marks on your face with the story beside them
like you do with our love
i may object by saying i may not live
much longer than this
when you see that man that fathers your children
i want you to think of us folks and the town you were born in
and all them songs that we'd sing and have ended long before this one
as i may object by saying that i may not live
much longer than this

World

all in awe
with help and want in my hands
i've expected shelter
i've expected prayer
i've expected love
from someone i desire
for twenty three years
even these past six
i have been held
i have been scared
now i'm ungrateful out of fear that
you could always tell
all of y'all's thoughts control my death
and that all of y'all
have gone to bed
with words in your head like
going to sleep
i ain't getting a wink of shut eye in edgewise tonight
of fear that you could always tell
for twenty three years
even these past six
i have been held
i have been scared
now i'm ungrateful out of fear that
you could always tell

Charles, Of Course

well i'm sittin on everything that is lost and i find my family and friends there - i wonder who they were as i sit and i stare because i thought that they were there for me and i think that if people do what they want to do then they are just who they want to be - i am exactly who i say that i exactly am. oh man. oh curse. awe, lord.
so raise from the dead, come on back to life dad. life just doesnt seem as much fun as it used to seem before you were dead, back when you were a life.
so get up and run, open up your eyes. come on back to life dad, raise from the dead. life just doesn't seem as much fun as it used to seem before you were dead - back when you were a life.
i find my eyes there. i put em back up inside of my head. i look inside of their's to find that that was there worst sin. maybe then. oh, or maybe then.
