The Barn Door

My daddy never went to war
But he cut his hands on glass
So we could always be together
Your daddy treated water for
The school, so they’d have class
You skipped barefoot through the heather
Do you lie awake in bed?
And cycle through your debt?
What happened to your innocence?
Will we look back on this and say
What happened to all those Sundays
After church we’d just sleep away
Anywhere but here, I’m going
And I’ll tell you where, when I know it
I’m good at cussin’ but I never learned nuthin’
Down at the barn door. Oh
This is my battle cry
A wolf howling at midnight
Every high school senior keeps up this fight
Born in a different small town
Moved to this one for a while
Stood still as it just passed me by
So Passions fleet and Riders Strong
Did we ever get along?
Got caught up in the maybe and the might
How useless it is to spread
A net in full view,
Of the birds you’re tryin'a catch tonight oh
Anywhere but here, I’m going
And I’ll tell you where, when I know it
How did I get so lost? Compass broken.
In a town I know so well? Oh-Oh
In just another year
We’ll have the money to get out of here
We’re spending it here buying time
We used to light candles for the poor
But we don’t do it anymore
Someone lights one somewhere just for us
This is my battle cry
A wolf howling at midnight
Every high school senior keeps up this fight
Anywhere but here, I’m going
And I’ll tell you where, when I know it
I’m good at cussin’ but I never learned nuthin’
Down at the barn door. Oh
Anywhere but here, I’m going
And I’ll tell you where, when I know it
How did I get so lost? Compass broken
In a town I know so well? Oh-Oh

Go Cold or Go Home

Today I met the man who’s gonna kill me
Hes my friend
He’s not a man, he’s not even on the move. Oh
Across the way
From where I get my pay
They putting up a carnival that got a fortune teller who said she know my fate if I don’t change
She say, Everyone I know
Is trying to go cool, or just go home
And then do it all again
They say they happy doin’ their own thing
Putting they self before no one else they say
Everyone I know is trying to make out
They play the games
But ain’t no one got it figured out
Today I made a plan for how to make it big
Or just make it out
Of this place that I’m stuck
She grins, that could be the thing that does you in
But They Don’t Know
They Don’t Ever Really Know
Take me out tonight
and we’ll do it all again
Like we did when I was 17
And like we did when you was born again.
She say, Everyone I know
Is trying to go cold, or just go home
And then do it all again.
They say they happy doin’ their own thing
Putting they self before no one else they say
She say, Everyone I now is dead

New Stanton Callin'
03:11

Take that ticket to new Stanton
Tell em where to stick it, the ransom that they gave you was
For a big job in a brand new city
Here’s a story ‘bout dancin’ around getting stuck or breaking free
I’ve got a little rabbit in my pocket
His name is Michael and He works for the weekly newspaper
I’ve got an alibi
She standin’ on the platform in Charlotte Waiving goodbye
She said I was givin’ her the business
It’s a business and you don’t wanna get in it
Didn’t you hear it’s is so old fashioned!
They got lots of news toys
To ignite the passions of the midnight cowboys
There used to be a preacher down in Whaleyville
Who was on the wrong side of the law
If you Take stock, man, of what the Lord done to me…
There’s proof that any man can change
He said that you had some money left on your contract
Couldn’t you give me a loan when you leave for the city
You never thought you’d be a parent
Its apparent You leaving this place as soon as you were told
You’re rubble when they hit the road
Gotta make a dollar before this whole place is sold
Take the last train out of here
There ain’t a lotta carts left on the rack
I can’t tell you, true, to watch out - that I’m never coming back
If it don’t work out, I’ll see you on the wrong side of the track

Cactus Flower
03:22
|

Outside with the daisies two lovers just met
Not knowing the moments they’ll never forget
Embracing each other under the moonlight
Not thinking of time, this time at night
Do you remember the first time that we were alone?
Do you think of it ever, now that we have grown
When love turns to comfort and it can turn to stone
If you don’t count the moments so precious at home
If the present is a mirror, then the past is just glass
All the work that we put off piles up much too fast
The future isn’t certain, but the water is clear
Tonight, let’s just catch up, it’s good that you’re here
Life is a carousel if we just let it be
I could never thank you enough for what you’ve done for me
There’s so much to do and so much left to be done
But what is the point if we can’t have some fun?
The hour is late and it’s passing me by
If you can’t catch the bluejay, you’ll just watch it fly
He’s waiting for you on the branch by the fence
Look up for while you can, he’s gone in a glance
There’s so much that we do that serves us no good
Why it seemed so important then is not understood
The grace that you have shown me in my darkest of hours
Like the desert barren landscape that allowed cactus flower
If the present is a mirror, then the past is just glass
All the work that we put off piles up much too fast
The future isn’t certain, but the water is clear
Tonight, let’s just catch up, it’s good that you’re here
Life is a carousel if we just let it be
I could never thank you enough for what you’ve done for me
There’s so much to do and so much left to be done
But what is the point if we can’t have some fun?
We mistook careless for carefree and we forgot the reward
Of life is man and wife together with the Lord
How can we be so wrapped up in other affairs?
The meaning of life is a chocolate éclair.
Know I know that I should stop working and say
to my desert cactus flower that I treasure today

Anthem
02:36
|
|||
I remember when it was bad to be a loser
Now you're track in dirt like us
I remember when it was boring to so boring
Now you're telling me everything you want
Hey now, it's Saturday evening
You say all these "friends"of mine they are leaving me
Because they had something better to do
And I'm stuck here listening to you
I remember when you said you were a freak
Were you self pitying or coming on to me?
You said You gotta see this thing, guess what I already say that thing
Let's take stock of this situation and leave`
So, what's so great about this life?
A plate of hot food and new pair of shoes
but, I still have my anthem
and that’s something I will never lose
Remember when you said you weren’t a creep
Then tell me why you creepin round like that
You used to laugh at people who was different
But different is normal and no one works
So, what's so great about this life?
A plate of hot food and new pair of shoes
But, I still have my anthem
And that’s something I will never lose
Bye, baby Bunting,
Daddy’s gone a-hunting,
Gone to get a rabbit skin
To wrap the baby Bunting in

The Capital Stairs
04:18
|

You’re an actor and the stage is on fire
But at this stage, are you an actor or a liar?
No matter how hard you will train
There’s always gonna be someone with more range
Unless you make it your life’s goal
And give up everything you know
Even then you still barely got a chance
There’s always gonna be someone dedicate their life to dance
The light shine bright on the capital tonight
All you get is stars when you turn out the lights
No reason left for you to keep up the fight
The light shine bright on the capital tonight
That’s all you ever had to give
There’s a little piece of it left
Every other week, they’re starting a new play
And no we’re reachin the end of days
I guess we couldn’t be the same
No two are alike, but every one is a little bit deranged.
And I never got to taste
Just waiting for a slice of cake
The light shine bright on the capital tonight
All you get is stars when you turn out the lights
You gave it all you had, and you still lost the fight
The light shines bright on the capital tonight
When will you admit it’s time to go?
Maybe you’ll still find a little bit a peace at home

Greener Pastries
03:23
|

Can you hear the laboured sounds my voice makes
10 months blur to one day right before my eyes
They bring in more scorpions and just about anything under the sun
What do you see?
I've seen the way that you hold your hands in close to their mouths
Mocking your prayers all the, while howling "don’t judge me"
I've never made more than I should have by god
My god, is this. Is this how the world ends?
Once was enough
Once was enough
The greener the pastures, the thicker the rough
Once was enough
For love of life or for love of reason
Somehow I'm still breathing
But hold your guns move them to the center
I promise you this, kid, it gets worse before it gets better
I've seen the way that they plot, position and poison
The water in misguided effort to shut you up
I said, I said I've never made more than I could have, by god
My god, is this how the world is? Every day of my life

Rebel Hard
02:50
|

We re growing apart
Not growing old together
She said she made a list
And you're not part of it
Of all her future plans
Before winter and the blossoms whither
You'd like to take her hand
But how can she understand
I'm a rebel, not a soldier
I don’t follow law and order
I'm the a sinner, not the king
I'm a preacher, I'm a singer
I'm a country without a border
I wont question law and order
But the world is moving fast
Much Faster than I can master
You're growing up strong
I wasted all our time together
I heard you make the wish
How long did you practice it?
You know whats in my heart
But the lockets key is missing
You said its growing cold
You said you doing as you're told
