The Coast
04:37

We started on the wrong foot and layed it on the line
Made it with the best daughters and left the rest behind
Hands up like we're hollow, blowin in the dust
Tell us who to follow, tell us who to trust
You bellow from the distance, rollin us to sleep
Then charge out like an army, callous from the deep
Little too honest, runnin with the whales
The scariest part is, ya hardly know we're there.
We know the way our bodies handle in the water
We know the way the water opens like a mouth
Caught in the rush and buried, beggin for an answer
Who are we now to question, watchin from the coast.
Brave the wait, as long as I'm saved
The best parts are fleeting, I'm chasing the tale
Live and I'll learn the way I know how
I'm unraveled and I'll start up now.

Dead Give Away
04:00

Marry me, thank you, please
you tell me all the things you need
then you blame one war
blame it all and never call me back to talk.
Weathervane, spin again and indicate a thunderstorm
And when it starts
I'll disappear for real this time.
I'm all in when you're tryin to push me out
and all I hear is here is what is what is what is what is.
One last time, givin you my best sad fast
And when is stops
I'll disappear for real this time.
All hopped up on liquor drinks,
See I just don't know when to stop,
So I made myself into a hologram
and I'll leave out what I want
Mind or my mouth for makin this last
I'm comin on strong
Dead give away, I can't say I don't want you in my arms.
Infrared, you magic man
Blowin my cover the best you can
Head on a plate
now, we don't fight
Cause I'm gonna get you back tonight.
Both my legs pulled over a post
catch my breath and I slowly go
Over the edge and out of my mind
cause I'm gonna get you back tonight...

Black Hole
02:42
|
|||
I can give away my clothes
Put em in a bag on the side of the road
but where does everyone go?
I can wake up really late
Load another bus and fire away
but where does everyone go?
Black hole!
I can give away my shoes
Buried in a box with a cardboard roof
and think about you always...
I shout out, just because
Wake up you idiot!
I'm caught between a hard place
And a black hole!
Lay your marks
Make a deal with god
Fly out in the dark
Visit me when I'm sleeping
Tell me where you are.

Honey
04:38
|
|||
Turn around a head for home
Keep my eyes on the nicest ones
I've been misunderstood
Cause it's all true
Heaven knows I don't listen much
Can't decide on what to touch
But I'll pull through
Cause I love you
Cold ride home on the back of a bus
Is punishment enough
Losin brings out the worst in me
but I'll do what I must.
Your sweet little voice on the telephone
Is tellin me I done somethin wrong
I'm a liar, such a cheater
So I'm not gonna break my promises
Gonna get to know the backs of your hands
Like I know, and like you know mine.

Sheriff
04:24
|
|||
Think back, try your best to give me credit
I've been lonely picking up the slack
Loose threads fly out from the seams of my sweater
But I look good for gettin thru a bear attack
Oh, I've got hundreds of reason in my head
for why we need each other.
Hold hands with all the girls I don't resemble
They'll love thinkin that they have a chance
I've been hard to reach for quite a while now
Who's got time to mess around with that?
Oh, I've got hundreds of reasons in my head
for why we need each other.
Down from a white horse
In hail, sleet and rain
My man's the sheriff
And you're in the way.

4X4
03:46
|

Over river water
Rocky mountain
Son and daughter
Mind our tire tracks
smokin rifle on my back.
We start and end the sunlight
We're still workin thru the winter
and I crack by January
I go crazy, I get scary
I remember you!
Must I be the one to lose?
Arm and arm thru the woods we go
Must I be the last to know,
It's over...
Howlin from the windows
of your 4x4 truck
Screamin bloody murder
When we're stuck in the mud.
We spark up in the mornin
We blow away at night
Aiming for the ceiling
Shootin arrows from our eyes
Spinnin old music
Step one, step to the right
Come on, dance now with me honey
I'll be leavin soon enough

Sweetheart
02:37
|

Sweetheart, I can be black and white
Sweetheart, see a bit of wimp in your eye
But I like you anyway
and I never thought I'd smile again.
I'm lonely enough!
I have to keep the radio on
I'm fallin in love
With absolutely everyone.
Darlin, you're shyer than I like
But I don't mind
You keep me up all night
and I never leave the country
Maybe cause I love you honey!
I'm lonely enough,
I have to keep the radio on
I'm fallin in love
With absolutely everyone
One word and I'll break
There's only so much kindness I can take
Before it's crippling...

Slow Dance
03:07
|
|||
Evening comes once a day
I hold my breath for the clock to change
Brush my hair so it looks like I put it up real nice
For dinnertime
Kick off your shoes and shut the door
What did you think this dress was for?
Waited all day for your company
Honey, come in, slow dance with me.
Was it the hardest day you ever had?
Always harder then the last
Body ache for a belly laugh,
A girl like me and a whiskey glass
Lean on me when the jar gets low
There's a hell of a lot we can't afford
But we got David Allan Coe
And we'll dance around the country store
Sure, I got things I can't deny
Too fired up, got a wandering eye
There's a few moves I do get right
I'm tough as nails and I swing some nice.

Mountie Mountie
02:56
|

Blue and black are my hollow hands
As the sun goes down in my room again
Silent night, will she sleep all right
Stars, a light, from the street outside
Ride that horse clear thru the snow
Mountie, Mountie, let me go
Bee without her sweet honey
She don't believe in anything.
On and off when we're miles apart
We both know the draw
We don't have to talk.

To Be Patient
03:51
|
|||
You're made of the trickest things
I can't make sense of it
I hide cause the fall, I find
Gets too familiar
And I know to mind my manners
And try my best to be patient.
Nomad, unfortunate red
I'm home slowly sinkin
I feel we aint finished yet
but who knows what you're thinkin
And I hate to mind my manners
but I still try to be patient
This new one I'm seein
Calls me names not worth repeatin
and I'd give my whole right arm
To see you take him to cleaners

Young Men
02:48
|

I owned up to my boyfriend
Things have gotten over thought
Snow came down like a curtain
Broke my arms underneath it all
He threw me on the back seat
Plowed the roads till it got dark
I fell asleep in my limbless clothes
Caught a cold from his icy heart
Raise a glass for all young men
They fight till they fall apart
Turn around and they're gone again
For the love of another one
Cut throats came with a shot gun
Stared us down thru a scope eye
They called for a hostage
They called us on to die
You ran off for the bushes
Pulled for my lifeless arms
While I drove on with them outlaws
Screamin "oh, I've given up"
