Gypsy Girl

|
Gypsy girl, let me buy you some pearls and then maybe you’ll stay a while. Gypsy girl, give me a twirl because your freedom is beautiful.
She took my heart, on a cold train to Memphis, a cold hearted temptress and I admit I was bested, but this love I invested. Is bound to get tested as she dances towards the sun.
Chorus:
Gypsy girl, ill trade you a cigarette for a lifetime of intellect as she dances towards the sun.
Verse:
I had leatherback knowledge, she had a bag and some mileage when our paths decided to cross. Against all odds, we found each other but some things are better off lost.
(Chorus)
Verse:
She believed in the stars and finding truth in her cards, and for me I was a holy man. Shes get up and go, her direction the road and for me, I always needed a plan.

Old Fashion
04:31
|
|||
|
Now I might be, old fashioned, outdated and abandoned. I might be starved to the bone and left alone but this city ain’t so silent anymore.
(Chorus)
I confess all my sins and i’d be damned if i let the devil win
Verse:
It hurts to breath stale air behind your rosary and what you see is the reflection of you not next to me.
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Purpose driven from the beginning, who am I kidding I never fit in - x2

Wanted
05:21
|
|||
|
Now you could have it all, my entire heart and soul but we flew out of control. When I met you I was high, now your leaving and I’m dry and I can’t figure out why.
Chorus:
So. Love me or leave me, I don’t feel wanted anymore
Verse:
I remember when you spoke. Your words had a monumental hold, I thought our plans would soon unfold. Now this busted railroad is the only hope I know, a ghost from town to town never homeward bound.
(Bridge)
You ran away and came and came back broken what was tucked away is now well spoken, you ran away and came back broken, what was tucked away.

You'll Be Ok
04:28
|
|||
|
Have you ever just closed your eyes and thought about your life? Have you ever stared up and far and wished upon a star? Have you ever felt so alone, that it chills you to the bone? Have you ever questioned God above and begged him to show you some love? And like a needle to the vein a temporary fix for all the pain.
Chorus:
You’ll be ok don’t let it get away you’ll regret it. Envious of the heart ache dependent on the mistake
Verse:
This smoke in my lungs, do I need it? These pills in my hand just make me feel defeated. And this life you call it stupid, but all i wanted was to be one of the cool kids. But now I’m drowning lost in this poison I’m living a nightmare without emotion. And I pushed aside the ones that cared and now I cry out to you naked and bare.

Whiskey Over Water
03:31
|
|||
|
I’ve been so tired of running, I’ve been so tired indeed. I’ve come to far my darling, for you to see me on my knees. I’ve been forgotten baby, was blind but now I see. Praying is always my first choice, sometimes it gets so hard to believe.
If you question it’s extinction your doomed from the start. If we’re not moving forward we’re falling apart.
I’m empty but I’m sturdy, just like the old birch tree. I prefer whiskey over water when it comes to company. And the Lord he is my shepherd and I’m just a black sheep but our faith is always tested, that is why we weep.
If you question its existence your doomed from the start, if your not moving forward your falling apart.

He Will Be Loved
05:54
|
|||
|
Not long ago but far away lived a boy lived a boy with nothing to lose and everything to gain. But this song can’t take away all his pain.
(Chorus)
He will be loved. He will be loved, by a higher being up above. And he won’t shed no more tears, no more drowning in a lake of all his fears. Oooo Oooooo
Verse:
He’s older now just trying to get by. With his nine to five he struggles to survive and he often questions is this life cause there’s nothing good left inside.
(Chorus)
Verse:
The last few days are almost here. When his bodies gone will his legend disappear? As he watches the sun set and takes his final breath, and closes his eyes his last regret
(Chorus)

Knife In My Back
04:48
|
|||
|
Picture yourself as a grain of salt or the straw on a horses back. The ember that melts the steel or the freedom we all lack. Buy a one way ticket to the farthest star you see, hold your breath and count to 10 and try and keep my sanity.
(Chorus)
While this knife in my back is slowing me down, and I try and scream but I can’t make a sound. And how can I walk if my feet don’t touch the ground? Hold on to me my perfect memory.
Verse:
In this worn out bible, the pages are not what they seem. Reality has taken its toll and its a dream within a dream
Bridge:
Am I alive, or just breathing without the light it’s just darkness I’m seeing - x2 Seeing, seeing.
(Chorus)

I've Done My Time
04:14
|
|||
|
The deaf will preach till death, the blind will lead the blind, this crooked heart will heal, Lord knows I’ve done my time. And now my baby left me with no fire to keep me warm. But my baby didn’t leave because she was bored, no, my baby left me for the Lord. Alright.
(Chorus)
Ohhh I’ve done my time. Ohh I’ve done my time.
Verse:
She’s a hard pill to swallow but I will take her down with a tall glass of Whiskey, Jameason or crown. And I can’t find love in anything accept my long neck friends we’ve been on a night of destruction that never seems to end.
(Chorus)
When the bottle is the throttle, ohh I’ve done my time.

Elijah
04:57
|
|||
|
The palms where you lay are cold in the morning, and your smells still lingers through the bold lonely air. The sound of your silence was enough to keep me dreaming and my love for those moments will never disappear. Life has a funny way of drawing the finale line. Laughter to whispers tears create the end of time. You were born to me and therefore your mine, without my consent you were taken, leaving me heartless and blind.
(Chorus)
Why take a life that was too young for living? Why take a breath that hasn’t been held? Why take a love that was forever binding? Why take a daughter a son a child.
Verse:
Hypnotized by these subtle things the need for love and the pain it brings. Painting vivid pictures with these gray scaled mixtures, bringing color to the family who love and miss you greatly. And I promised to be strong but I broke it, cause it breaks me I’m well spoken. Living life without you is hard, but life will go on at least for some parts.
(Chorus)
Post Chorus:
Why is the Lord’s plan one of which we cannot understand. Broken bruised and lovely and held in his hands
