He was barely 19 little reckless brother

He was gonna do what we all dreamed of

When he needed money he picked up his gun

Drove to the bank to get him some

Wish I could say that I thought he’d know better

than thinking he could get away with a life on the run

Now he’s in prison and mama’s tears are falling

I’ll see you in some years little bro.

A life of crime if ain’t worth living

for all the time hiding or in jail

I tried to help him but I should have dome better

Pick guitar and have fun not rob with guns

I guess you could say he fell in with the wrong people

What a waste of our precious time

If things had just gone a little bit different

brother would be standing by my sidetion text goes here

If there’s one thing about booze that’s nice

You can’t regret what you don’t remember

playing cards, throwing dice

You can’t regret what you don’t remember

You can’t regret what you forget

Till someone calls you up

And tells you a little story

All about yourself

You might regret what you don’t remembering

If you were a loud mouthed crying fool

You can’t regret what you don’t remember

Picking fights and being rude

You can’t regret what you don’t remember

Elephant in the room and a monkey on your lap,

squirrel in your arms, laying on your back

You can’t regret what you don’t remember

Every time you get lit

You upset and through hissy fit

You can’t regret what you don’t remember

Got my motor runnin All for the Thrill

1000 ccs between me and the road

hop on the saddle honey head for the hills

Motorcycle hummin All for the Thrill

Riding the highway, me and my gal

thunder of the pistons, making me feel like

Id like to show you my risk taking side

It’s my strongest side

It’s how I stay alive

When I say all for the thrill

I love that lady All for the Thrill

being around someone who loves me to

Hop on the saddle honey head for the hills

Honky Tonk All for the Thrill

Gonna stomp and swing like we born to do

Lets go see the band and drink our fill

Beer drinking daddy gonna laugh and talk all night

do everything right

forget real life

when I said all for the thrill

When I go to work honey All for the Thrill

of taking you out with all the frills

lets go see the band and drink our fill

Party Hard core All for the Thrill

lets do it some more, party hardcore

Every time I see her the thunder I feel

Woke up this morning, feeling so low

In a place I’m unsure of, where time moves real slow

Where whiskey’s a memory on my breath and my brow

Was the feeling last night worth the feeling right now?

Right now my head is pounding green faced

I said I’d stop overdoing it this

I believe I had fun, but I ain’t quit sure how

Was the feeling last night worth the feeling right now?

When the barroom is closed, I’m in a vulnerable state

Don’t wanna go home, stay out real late

Woke up next to someone, ain’t sure who or how

Was the feeling last night worth the feeling right now?

What can be said to the one’s you love?

Don’t lie just don’t mention it

Why bring it up?

But my body and soul feels dried up and cowed

Was the feeling last night worth the feeling right now?

Mother nature wins again

Although she is your friendly

She won’t ever let you choose

When it is you get the blues

Termites flying all around,

Stinging caterpillar on your arm,

Pothole swallow up your car,

Ocean wash away the shore

Lovers dreams end in vain

When you’re feeling that old age

When you’re lying in the clay

Mother nature wins again

Boulder fall and block the road,

Fire burn out of control

Wind so strong, you can’t walk

She looks so good I can hardly talk,

UFOs will abduct

Tornadoes and hurricanes and stuff

Getting called out on your bluff

Mother nature wins again

I know a place to get away, if you want to go

To the bottom of the bottle where some good times are stored

Beer and whiskey gonna take us away

Numb the pain for another day.

Another night gone wrong

Another honky-tonk song

Another spin around the world (the floor) we’re on

Another night gone wrong

But I feel so alive

I’ll be steppin out, every single night

I keep a joint in my pocket if I see you around

I got to take something for to calm me on down

Or I’ll be hollering and shouting, look what a fool I am

Betty don’t send me home alone again

I keep my fisted clenched up when a bully comes around

To the tavern by the rail yard or the levee down town

New Orleans, Louisiana if we don’t make it out alive

I hope to see you on the other side

I wanna be in love, but I don’t know where to turn,

I didn’t know till Mary came around.

But come to find out it ain’t so easy you see,

I love her but she don’t love me

I don’t wanna be in love, cause look at what it’s done

cause of how it feels when you loose someone

She’s right here with my, only in my mind

Memories linger for too much time

Oh what a mess

All I can do is mock myself,

Seek for better health,

Find someone else

I don’t want to be love, but I’m ready to have fun

I could use a friend from dusk till dawn

But watch yourself Cindy I could make you blue,

You love me but I don’t love yourself

I want to be in love, but I don’t know quite how

Until along comes Sue with the brightest smile

I’m no expert, but now I got a dream

I could love her and she could love me

I want to be in love, because of how it feels

When will memories turn on their heels

I once knew what it’s like to want to be true

Will I know it again will it be you boo

Or will we start all over and do it anew

I’m just sitting at the table

Feeling mighty able

And the cards are looking right, gonna make some cash tonight

Just hold on

From the nine up to the queen

They just waiting in line to win

I was all in, if I was them I’d be grim

Just hold on

Might have spoken too soon

Flush beats straight and I’m a fool

Now my money’s all gone, guess I saw that wrong

Can’t hold on

Can’t hold on to my money,           

But I can hold on to my dreams

Can’t hold on to this town

But I can hold a steering wheel

Can’t hold on to my brain

Can’t remember you’re name

Can’t hold on to this world

But I can sure hold a drink

All them kings and queens

Should have never meant that much to me

But when they’re spotted in a row, I tend to let that old cash flow

just hold on

Then the spades grew strongest

And the river done me wrong

Now my king and queen are dead, along with all the cash I had

Can’t hold on

Can’t hold on to my honey,           

But I can hold on to my scheems

Can’t hold on to this town

But I can hold a steering wheel

Can’t hold on to my brain

Can’t remember you’re name

Can’t hold on to this world, But I can sure hold a drink

You’re on fire baby I’m your gasoline

We don’t need no water, cause we’re in love

in this post apocalyptic New Orleans

Open your eyes, she’s burning up the floor

The way she’s moving, reminds me of

waves splashing on the shore

But this water’s on fire, watch the wave burn

I can’t tell if it’s natural or if it’s not natural

but I can tell there’s something going on

Flames are heating up

Damn it’s getting hot

so she don’t need no gown to go out on the town

She’ll take it around and boogie on down

in those hot pink yoga pants

She walked in, we locked eyes

I said hi with a look that said

It’s nice to see you, it’s been a long time,

how have you been?

The way she looked when she saw me,

it wasn’t so warm

She walked on by and said hi

a man rolls his eyes in the corner

It’s nice to see you but it’s not nice to be seen

I can tell from the look you gave

It’s a bad surprise to see me

It’s nice to see you but it’s not nice to be seen

It wasn’t so long ago,

you’d be out on the town with me

Now someone else takes you around

There is no us in we

So when you find out how to get what you want

be sure and let me know

Then every time I see yourself

I won’t want to go

Its been years and you're free again, I been here for 2 days

Never forgot the moment we had, I been here for 2 days

Picked right up where it was at

Felt like the best time I ever did have

you know I'd do anything for that

I'll be back as soon as I can babe

Its been 2 days

I don't wanna leave

Do you want to make a baby?

Your mattress is on the living room floor, I cant read your face

The dogs are running wild, I like this place, I been here for 2 days

Now it's time to go, it's breaking me apart,

I'll be right back so says me heart

That's something great you got

I'll be back in a few days

Its been 2 days

I don't wanna leave

Do you want to make a baby?

As soon as I go, don't you know, a message I recieved

She don't want me back, I guess thats that, I won't be back in a few days

It's been 2 weeks, havent heard a word, guess there wont be no baby

But you'll be on my mind, at least for a while

when I pass through on the freeway

It was 2 days

I didnt want to leave

Guess there wont be a baby

It was 2 days

I didnt want to leave

Aint life just crazy

Running through the woods, over the hills

Running like the wild breeze that gives you the chills

Moving like sound waves, heavy guitars

The bass is the tree trunks, the dirt the drums are

Shaking up Spirits vibrating the air

Metal in the mountains in the ancient lands

Shaking up spirits, rustling leaves

The darker the night the better I see

You gotta learn to fight and learn to love

even if it's in us all along

Learn to give and learn to destroy

Find something to enjoy, like,

Running through the woods, over the hills

Running like the wild breeze that gives you the chills

Moving like sound waves, heavy guitars

The bass is the tree trunks, the dirt the drums are

Shaking up Spirits vibrating the air

Metal in the mountains in the ancient lands

Shaking up spirits, rustling leaves

The darker the night the better I see

Wild beasts calling out to me

I don't know what modern is anymore

Things have changed so fast I'm only 36 years old

My jaw is just hanging on the floor

It's amazing what they’ve done but I dont want anymore

I used to wish I could could to anyone, anytime I want

But I just want peace of mind, more than anything at all

All these people with their faces on the screens

Sometimes i want to go back it time, You know what I mean?

Who done voodoo dolled me?

Who done voodoo dolled me?

Got a pain in my ankle come in so quick,

Feels like someone gave my doll a prick

Why'd you voodoo doll me?

Why'd you voodoo doll me?

In the middle of the night, my hearts gave me a fright

Why'd they voodoo doll me?

I aint been to New Orleans in over a year

Did someone save some toe nails down there?

Got myself a haircut in Salem Mass

Did some there go through the trash

Who done voodoo doll me?

Why'd they voodoo doll me?

Laying on the ground cant get up

Why'd they voodoo doll me?

Dear Martha, tomorrow, I'm leaving this town

I'd like to see you once more, If you'd come around

I know things didnt go as planned, but I cant forget

what we had together, the first years we met

Dear Martha, we promised, we'd always be true

But the last thing you want to hear right now is I'm still in love with you

Through all your anger, I want you to understand

We could make things better, be stonger in the end

Cause it was only you and me

In this big old world

It was only you and me

That was before

If you'd come around, you'd be welcome

If you'd come around you'd find these arms held out for you

Dear Martha it's been a long time, since i started this song

You've been a ghost now for so long, I still can't believe you're gone

But if that's what you wanted, I guess it's better that way

Two people can't live together, if one has gone away

But it was only you and me

In this big old world

It was only you and me

That was before

If you'd have come around, you'd been welcome

If you'd come have around you'd have found these arms held out for you

But now I'm tired of being blue

As low as lonesome can go and still falling

Now I'm a stranger, be no more calling

Its such a big change, I'm wasted and ballling

As low as lonesome can go and still falling

Wind blows through leaves and whispers

Speaking thoughts and you don't listen

Green light and shadows are moving and glisting,

What is this world without you?

As low as lonesome can go and still falling

Now I'm a stranger, be no more calling

Its such a big change, I'm wasted and ballling

As low as lonesome can go and still falling

I wish that I could right you a love song

then some other thing goes wrong

I wish I'd always made you laugh

Wishing now dont change the facts

As low as lonesome can go and still falling

Now I'm a stranger, be no more calling

Its such a big change, I'm wasted and ballling

As low as lonesome can go and still falling

It felt good to be had by buy you
At least for a while
And then you made me as your fool, and I really was
Does anyone know anyone who can help me
I keep on falling down
Even though I was you fool
It felt good to be had by you

When I'm with you, I'm like a prairie dog, on the highway, on his hind legs, eating flowers, not worried about the cars driving by, or the roadkill all around

I'm a worker bee, you're the queen bee. You know what that means? We was buzzing all around, making jelly by the pound

Standing on the levee looking around
The river is high and so am I
The levee must hold or the water will carry us away

Carry us away
There's more water than there's land
The walls can hold it back but it could have another plan
Around here there's more water than there's land

From up here you can see
The River is high and the houses are low
The levee must hold or the water will carry us away

She wants flowers from the grocery store
When cold rains are falling down
Flowers from somewhere else where the sun stays high all year
Flowers that are for our love and cause she's beautiful
Flowers from the grocery store, are for this wound to heal

If we can still live together,
It's a small price to pay
Flowers from the grocery store could get us through this day
Flowers that are for our love, cause she’s who I need
Flowers from the grocery store, could bring her back to me

Here I sit in this town, where we used to live
Was just passing through, thought to stop on in
Sit and sip my drink, watch the cars drive by
I look for you in each one though I know you're not around
Chorus
This place aint the same without the loved ones who used to live here
All these people everywhere and none of them are you
everytime I come back, I'll think of memories
Cause it's so much different, than what my eyes can see

When I get out of the airplane, into the terminal
It looks just the same, as it always will,
Except for you smiling face, waiting there or me
There'll never be another time in all of history

I'm mad at everyone
For what they do
I'm mad at him and her and me and you
Can't believe a word they say
Change there mind every day
I'm mad at him and her and me and you
I’m mad at everyone, for what they do

I had a dream last night, and I’m mad at that, though I can’t remember it, shows what I state I’m in. Confusion all around, and more is falling out, from the mouths of him and her and you, I’m mad at everyone, for what they do.
