Sober

You got arrested out on the town
They caught you burning the whole thing down
When they approached you you started to run
But you fell face down stone cold drunk
You're sitting in lock up with piss on your jeans
You won't see the sun now for nearly a week
Your woman is leaving with the children in tow
There ain't a thing you can say for her not to go
Oh tell me tell me my friend
Oh tell me when will it end
Now you're getting sober in a 12 step program
Even your momma she knows it wont last
Oh tell me tell me my friend
Oh tell me when will it end
Your on the rooftop and you're looking down
Thinking of becoming one with the ground...
Oh tell me tell me my friend
Oh tell me when will it end
Now you're getting sober in a 12 step program
Even your momma she knows it wont last

Im leaving tomorrow
Gonna get this show on the road
Don't need no directrions
Don't know where I'll go
I'm up against the wall
In a room by myselft
Judged by all the memories
And thoughts on the shelf
With no one to hold onto
And no one holding me
I'll be heading down that open road
Finally free
With nothing tying me down
No one counting on me
I'll be figuring out who I am
And who I'm meant to be
I'm leaving tomorrow
There's no turning back
I'm searching for a fix
For everything I lack
With no one to hold onto
And no one holding me
I'll be heading down that open road
Finally free
With nothing tying me down
No one counting on me
I'll be figuring out who I am
And who I'm meant to be
Hear the tired tires spinning on the ground
Hear that weary and lonesome leaving sound
With no one to hold onto
And no one holding me
I'll be heading down that open road
Finally free
With nothing tying me down
No one counting on me
I'll be figuring out who I am
And who I'm meant to be
Oh who am I fooling
I'm not doing a damn thing
I'm never gonna shake
This ghost chasing me
I'm not leaving tomorrow...

Sweet Wine

Come and drink me in like sweet wine
Come and kiss me on the mouth
Whisper "baby it'll be fine"
I need you to take away my doubts
When we wake up in the morning
Don't leave like you've done before
Come on babe just one more hour
Like a junky I need some more
Come and drink me in like sweet wine
Come and kiss me on the mouth
Whisper "baby it'll be fine"
I need you to take away my doubts
Tell me all your wildest dreams
Your insecurities and fears
I want to feel every scar dear
Each wound that makes you who you are
Come and drink me in like sweet wine
Come and kiss me on the mouth
Whisper "baby it'll be fine"
I need you to take away my doubts

It was a pickup game
In the middle of the street
In the throes of the swampy august heat
When a car rolls down
You best move
Cause folks round here have no regard for youth
I was a part of you
You were a part of me
We did all there was to do
We saw all there was to see
But we couldn't see
What was underneath
Now the big box stores
Are taking over
Daddy can't find work let alone stay sober
I was a part of you
You were a part of me
We did all there was to do
We saw all there was to see
But we couldn't see
What was underneath
Now I'm packing for school
You're packing for war
Tell me do you know what you're fighting for
I was a part of you
You were a part of me
We did all there was to do
We saw all there was to see
But we couldn't see
What was underneath
Now a funeral procession
Down to the cemetary
We'll gather round the hole where you'll be buried
When the car rolls down
You best move
Cause folks round here have no regard for youth

Swinging

I've got a hangman's noose in front of me
Wool over my eyes I can hardly see
They say that woman betrayed me
Wool over my eyes I can hardly see
I've been here before and been set free
I walked that line held strongest belief
We were on the run almost scott free
Now wool over my eyes I can hardly see
I can't believe that woman betrayed me
She pulled wool over my eyes I can hardly see
I've been here before and been set free
I walked that line held strongest belief
They came in with a bribe
She took money over me
Now flash goes my life
Right in front of me
I've been here before and been set free
I walked that line held strongest belief
I've got a hangman's noose in front me
Will I go swinging or be set free
