Through Every Change

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

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

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

Hard Times 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

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

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
