The Devil and Me 03:20
lyrics
buy track
Almost died by the side of the sea and you'll never take the wander off of me Darkness down the rocks and my head was a song Been living on the edge ever since you see And the things I've done I can't repeat It's all between the Devil and me Leaned heavy on his credit line My bike was a wreck when I opened my eyes Offered his hand and then he offered a ride Jumped in and traveled through the dark To an empty cliff where we put it park And we shared a drink as the sun rose in the East That's all between the Devil and me The Devil and me The Devil and me Swore a song or three to the Devil and me The Devil and me Yeah the Devil and me You're the only thing between the Devil and me When I met you babe I was tearing a scar Through my life with an out of tune guitar I'd snort it, shoot it, drink it into me For the taste and the flying feel Of that crumpled bike with it's spinning wheels You wrapped me up and salved my skinny knees Now you're the only thing between the Devil and me The Devil and me The Devil and me Swore a song or three to the Devil and me The Devil and me Yeah the Devil and me You're the only thing between the Devil and me Whisper that I hear in the dark Yellow light streets and a buzz in a jar Just a taste, just a bite he's calling me He's whisperin' of that dark highway You gotta keep my head from going sideways This home we built's what's keeping me But if you ever hear me mumblin’ in my sleep It's just between the Devil and me Yeah the Devil and me Yeah the Devil and me Raise a glass and drink To the Devil in my dreams You're the only thing between the Devil and me

Everybody Gets to Be Wrong 02:57
lyrics

It was a fine time Drenched in Wine I guess we crossed a line A trail leading back to the door Clothes scattered on the floor But everybody gets to be wrong sometimes Everybody gets to be wrong I guess I’m taking my turn tonight Guess I’m taking mine These are hungry crimes Eating these songs tonight That break the light Into colors scattered on the walls Rainbows running down the hall But everybody get to be wrong sometimes Everybody gets to be wrong I guess I’m taking my turn tonight Guess I’m taking mine You get yours I’ll take mine Time’s a dream, time’s a lie As the world folds We must be bold, we must be bold But everybody get to be wrong sometimes Everybody gets to be wrong I guess I’m taking my turn tonight Guess I’m taking mine

Half of the Time 03:38
lyrics
buy track
Swollen orange ball over the ridge of trees Swollen fingers and dirty knees The way we’re living, honey I can’t believe Wake up babe, put your hands on me Half of the time You’re the girl of my dreams Half of the time You’re lost in your drink I lost my words and broke the thread A thin white line running through my head Don’t despair, I’m open for repairs But the thing that I’ve been looking for may long be dead Half of the time I’m the man of your dreams Half of the time I’m just plain mean Hold me in the heat, the heat of your charms No sharp objects, the camps are disarmed Half of the time We’re living on a dream Half of the time I can’t find my keys Half of the time...

True Much Love 01:52
lyrics

She was hungry, I was starving We were out to lunch in the morning I took her hand and ran away with it She took my heart and gave it to science It’s too, It’s too, It’s too My love for you It’s true, it’s true, it’s true Much love for you She was frightening, he was the lightning We were like dogs on a rainy day The mud was flying, our grip was tightening Onto something we didn’t even mean to say It’s too, It’s too, It’s too My love for you It’s true, it’s true, it’s true Much love for you She was never, he was always We were sometimes And that was something That was something It’s too, It’s too, It’s too My love for you It’s true, it’s true, it’s true Much love for you

Rolling down the line (I’m rolling) Rolling down the line (I’m rolling) Rolling down the line (I’m rolling) Rolling down the line Blackness in my sight Hell in my chest and sides Shaking and a’ crying, ain’t no denying That it’s coming to a head tonight Shake it ‘till it stops, stops at the top And drops you on the other side I said I’d never leave you but baby I’m about to Float right into the light I’m rolling down the line (I’m rolling) Rolling down the line (I’m rolling) Rolling down the line (I’m rolling) Rolling down the line Running hot and cold, bought and sold And I’m coming up alone and bright Heading for a long night, putting in the good fight It’s sucking all the air and light Shake it ‘till it stops, stops at the top And drops you on the other side Nothing I can give you, I’m floating in a bayou And I’m burning up inside I’m rolling down the line (I’m rolling) Rolling down the line (I’m rolling) Rolling down the line (I’m rolling) Rolling down the line Don’t tell me it’ll be alright You don’t know how I feel tonight I’m rolling, rolling down the line Met my daddy in a fever dream He said son you better hold on tight Said “come along boy I got something to show you And it’s just on the other side” I said “Hold on old man, I don’t understand I ain’t seen you in a couple of years Now you show your face in this black-ass place What the hell are we doing here” He said “were rolling down the line” (I’m rolling) Rolling down the line (I’m rolling) Rolling down the line (I’m rolling) Rolling down the line Rolling Down the Line…

Down by Her Riverside Home 02:37
lyrics
buy track
She flies on the wind when there’s gold on the water And canyon winds carry her soul A mother walks through the trees with her daughter A mother walks the waters alone Down by her riverside home Down by her riverside home Down by the water where the cool grass is calling Down by her riverside home And she tells me she sees her flying and calling She tells me she’s never alone She tells me she hears the echoes of laughter As the monsoons quench the coy canyon stones Down by her riverside home Down by her riverside home Down by the water where the cool grass is calling Down by her riverside home Tears on the water for the mother and daughter Long roots and bones in the cottonwood groves You’ll never find her, you’re always behind her Try to ease the sorrow of the old river crone When you’re down by her riverside home Down by her riverside home Down by the water where the cool grass is calling Down by her riverside home

Higher 02:43
lyrics

Mama on my mind Yeah I can’t deny her When I’m stretched thin Swinging on a wire When I get downtown Yeah, low and on fire We’re gonna get high mama Gonna push me higher Gonna push me High, high, higher and higher Ain’t got no clothes Naked in the water When I get beat down Getting hotter and hotter Gonna take a deep breath She’s my pacifier Gonna get high mama Gonna take me higher Gonna take me high, high, higher and higher I don’t want none of that solo lonely Don’t you know that you are all I need Hold onto me when I’m sliding mama down Down You know I gotta go I got this desire To wander around In the cracks and mires When I come back You’ll be my rectifier Gonna take me high mama, gonna push me higher Gonna push me high, high, higher and higher

Lonely Were Money 02:30
lyrics
buy track
He been waking on time Obeying all the signs Red’s out of the lines You swore you’d be mine I been wearing my mask Breaking my ass Rubbing on the grass like a dog on his last life The clean pressed sailor Towing his trailer Boy you better nail ’er If you wanna play the players And if lonely were money I’d be swimming in the water If lonely were money I’d be free You wouldn’t have to save me From these lions that can’t tame me If lonely were money You’ve been taking on your after Smoking in the rafters Relax, the facts are better by far than the truth You’re smooth like lightning See the sky brightening Or is it just the streetlights Buzzing in the sweet night I never came true But you never did too Summer left us wanting After spring brings a lusting Swollen to busting It never hurts trusting Unless it kills you then you're dead so who cares And if lonely were money I’d be swimming in the water If lonely were money I’d be free You wouldn’t have to save me From these lions that can’t tame me If lonely were money Don’t let it go, I want to hold on I want to see through the confetti show I buckled my seat and now my feet are planted down Down And if lonely were money I’d be swimming in the water If lonely were money I’d be free You wouldn’t have to save me From these lions that can’t tame me If lonely were money

Make Way for the King 02:47
lyrics

In the gathering steam Rising from the park and the broken scene Comes a horseman astride his steed It’s a tale some say foreseen Look around with the smile that don’t reach your eyes Little red spots on the blood of your tie They’ve been saying your coming’s a sign Hold the book up high Make way for the king And his court of thieves Designer handbags, well pressed fatigues Make way for the king It’s a new kind of dream Fake it ‘till you break it and you’re the scene Weren’t you waiting for me Open up and cry “Come inside.” Look around with the smile that don’t reach your eyes Little red spots on the blood of your tie They’ve been saying your coming’s a sign Hold the book up high Make way for the king And his court of thieves Designer handbags, well pressed fatigues Make way for the king

Hold You 03:29
lyrics

Hopeful your heartless grip on the convo Will slow and slip and you’ll finally let go I’ve heard your words and I’m tired of listening I’ve heard your words and the meaningless leanings The pain is the thing that you’re not really counting You say it your way but the hearts you’ve been breaking We’re sick of the sound of your voice rejoicing At the sound of itself and your hands are strangling We’re tired and sick We’re hungry but quick You can leave us to die as you kneel and we cry You can spit in our eyes but surprise, surprise We’re gonna hold you We’re gonna hold you We’re gonna hold you To the fire, to the fire, to the fire We’re dying in the streets we’re dying in our bedrooms We’re dying on the wire while the cash is flowing Up the streams feeding dreams of the hungry bankers The counters and the lenders and the leader pretenders We’re tired and sick We’re hungry but quick You can leave us to die as you kneel and we cry You can spit in our eyes but surprise, surprise We’re gonna hold you We’re gonna hold you We’re gonna hold you To the fire, to the fire, to the fire

Rolling On 02:57
lyrics
Roses in the garden Green leaves are sprouting Baby’s growing older And the sun keeps on rising And I’ll be here, looking out the window As it all keeps rolling on Dreams are flowing while the Morning light is cracking News keeps coming Bad and heartbreaking Leaves are falling And the yard needs raking And it all keeps rolling on Do you wonder where it goes when the Summer falls And the Fall breaks through and drains the blue? And the sky cries cold and rain it turns to snow Do you ever wonder where this all goes? Sitting in traffic Reading billboards and trying To keep a level head While the baby’s crying We’ll be home soon And there’s no denying That we just keep rolling on Yeah we all keep rolling on Yeah we all keep rolling on Yeah we all keep rolling on Yeah we all keep rolling on Yeah we all keep rolling on Yeah we all keep rolling on Yeah we all keep rolling on Yeah we all keep rolling on Yeah we all keep rolling on Yeah we all keep rolling on
