Walk Away

I’m just gonna walk away
I’m just gonna let it go
Everything's so different now
I’m so tired of being alone
Feels like I’ve been waiting here
Baby, for a hundred days
Don’t know wanna wait here anymore
I’m just gonna walk away
I used to watch the cars roll by
I used to think that you’d be there
Now I don’t watch the cars anymore
I just sit and stare
Staring at the same four walls
Every night and everyday
Don’t know what I was waiting for
I’m just gonna walk away
I toss all night, can’t get no peace
I drink too much, and I can’t sleep
Don’t even know what I’m supposed to do
Spend my whole life, waiting for you
I’m just gonna walk away
I’m just gonna let it go
Everything’s so different now
I’m so tired of being alone
Staring at the same four walls
Every night and every day
Don’t want to do it anymore
I’m just gonna walk away

Keep Me Alive
04:16

How could I know I was headed for such a big fall?
If there was a warning, then I never saw it at all
It occurs to me now that the train we were on was off track
How do you fix it when you know you’re not coming back?
Down at the mission I copped a few lines of cocaine
Wandered around until I was too numb to feel blame
I saw you walking the wind blowing warm in your hair
You walked right by me like you never had any care
Now call on the angels cause it’s getting harder to breathe
Tell them I’m sorry and I need a ticket to leave
There’s a hole in my heart and I don’t think I can survive
I need somebody to hold me and keep me alive
How could you think everything that I said was a lie?
That every new moment was one I was saying goodbye
You had a fire burning so bright in your heart
You said I blew it out and left you'll all alone in the dark
So call on the angels cause it’s getting harder to breathe
I’m only looking for something enough to believe
There’s a hole in my heart and I don’t think I will survive
I need somebody to hold me and keep me alive
I just need somebody to hold me and keep me alive

Bones and Gravity
03:56
|
|||
I don’t remember what day it was
I only know something happened to us
When the clouds rolled in, the sky turned gray
Baby, that storm took you away
Well the rain comes in when the door’s left open
Seeps through the cracks where the walls are broken
Floods like a river in its wake
And swallows all that it can take
Cause everything we have, was never meant to last
And all that’s left for me are bones and gravity
I went down to the river to pray
But God didn’t have a thing to say
And I saw your reflection there
Smile at me without a care
Well I don’t trust the things I see
I’m not quite sure what I believe
But I know things you’ll never know
And honey that’s the way I’ll go
When everything we have, was never meant to last
And all that’s left for me are bones and gravity
Now every night he comes to me
With broken things he cannot leave
He places them inside the door
And moves across the bedroom floor
He slips beyond the shadow walls
Where sunrise and the light will fall
And disappears into the dawn
Where nothing’s left for holding on
And everything we have, was never meant to last
Now all that’s left for me are bones and gravity

The air was thicker than a whiskey still
Hotter than Texas when you made your kill
Running down that highway like a gypsy queen, getting out
People like you are always on the take
Leave everything broken in your wake
Somebody must’ve done something to you sometime
My blood runs cold, down to my soul
You’re so unkind; I hope you find some peace of mind
Caroline
Black clouds rolling down my road
I feel thunder rumbling in my bones
All I want is to leave this all behind
People like you never really try
Count your change while you’re waving bye
I wish I could count how many times I’ve cried
You always could, who knew you would
Be so unkind, I hope you find some peace of mind

Lay Him Down
02:46
|
|||
I curse the day he called my name
Wrapped my heart in a burning flame
Then he pulled me under like a ball and chain
Down, down, down
Seven years and fifteen days
I watched him lie in a whiskey haze
A man ain’t never gonna change his ways
Oh, lay him down
Oh, my daughter stay with me
Trust the things that you can see
A shotgun barrel and a burning tree
Oh, burn it down
Brother, can you hear me now
The sunrise never gonna come around
Till he’s six feet under in the stony ground
Oh, lay him down
Down, lay him down

Emmylou
03:58
|

It’s a long way down to salvation from this town
But I don’t want to drive that far today
So I’ll just stay here but there’s nothing much to do
Count the cars and watch them roll away
In another time, I’d be on my way
But I don’t want to go back like before
Oh Emmylou, there’s an achin’ in my chest
Pain that will not rest
If redemption was a bell, this whole town would hear it ring
On this day of reckoning
Should I close my eyes, never look up to the sky?
Do I turn away from everything we dreamed?
Cause I don’t know if it matters anymore
But nothing is the way it used to be
In another life, I might have stayed
Now I don’t want to live here anymore
Oh Emmylou, there’s an achin’ in my chest
Pain that will not rest
If redemption was a bell, this whole town would hear it ring
On this day of reckoning

Hurricane
03:02

Well, I’m not a good friend, I make a treacherous wife
I will ease you down on the edge of a knife
I’ll make you smile, just to see you cry
And I’ll make you promise, just to watch you lie
I’m not good at love, it always turns out bad
Never been a good lover, never had what they have
Lately I’ve been crying myself to sleep
Thinking about us, getting in too deep
Cause I’ll pick you up, just to shoot you down
And I’ll tie you up and drag you around
I’m an ice storm brewing in a southern town
I’m a hurricane in a wedding gown
I never can commit, I’m never really sure
So don’t bring me diamonds, I don’t know what they’re for
I’m a hot loose wire, got a loaded gun
I wanna make you stay, I’m gonna let you run
Cause I’ll pick you up, just to shoot you down
And I’ll tie you up and drag you around
I’m an ice storm brewing in a southern town
I’m a hurricane in a wedding gown
I’m a Texas flood
I’m a burning house
I’m a hurricane in a wedding gown

Tired
04:26
|

You and me weren’t born the fighting kind
But that’s what we became
I just can’t remember now
When it changed
You were like a part of me
I swore you were my breath
Am I still a part of you
How do you forget?
Sometimes we get too close
Kick ashes on the fire
So it is with desire
Baby I just got so tired
Baby I just got so tired
I drive down these streets now
Things just look the same
No one knows who I am
Somethings never change
I still see you standing there
Shouldering the blame
For everything we ever had
And everything we lost
Sometimes it gets too hard
To argue what is right
So you just give up the fight
Baby I just got so tired
Baby I just got so tired

Kindness
04:11

Where is the sun, this room is dark
I lost the light, I lost the spark
I must have tripped under your spell
One misstep and then I fell
You took the shadows from my wall
When they weren't mine to give at all
You let me in, then shut me out
Now I’m stuck with no way out
Kindness don’t cost a thing
Kindness don’t cost a thing
Kindness
Don’t really know you at all
I only try to search myself
It’s hard to tell what’s inside,
What’s inside anyone
Kindness don’t cost a thing
Kindness don’t cost a thing
Kindness
Someday I will hear your name
And I’ll find something nice to say
I know you won’t remember me
But I’ll do it anyway
Cause kindness don’t cost a thing
Kindness don’t cost a thing
Kindness

Like I Love My Dog
02:35

I don’t love you like I love my dog
I don’t love you like I love my dog
My dog wanders with me all day
My dog wanders with me all day
People leave you and let you down
People leave you and let you down
But my dog will always stay
Just a footstep away
People leave you and they let you down
When my dog goes I will go too
When my dog goes I will go too
Over that bridge into the blue
I’m not going anywhere with you
Cause when my dog goes I will go too
I don’t love you like I love my dog
I don’t love you like I love my dog

I Was a Bird
03:59
|

Hello my friend, I meant to call you up
A thousand times
But time got in at the way
I heard you’re well, I heard you found love
I sent you my love
For all this time
I hurt myself, I won’t do anything
But I’d give anything to see you now
I hear your voice in every waking dream
You’re part of everything
That haunts me now
I was a bird, I had to fly
Away from here or I would die
I was a bird, I flew so far
To find my home is where you are
I was a bird
Time has its way with us
We never have a hand
I guess I hoped someday
That you would understand
I was a bird, I had to fly
Away from here or I would die
I was a bird, I flew so far
To find my home is where you are
I was a bird
