See You Soon

So this is your holiday
So many bills to pay
So many tears I've cried
We've been sold a line
About a man in a big blue sky
Now my ambulance is parked outside
Way back in my teenage dream
I fell in love with a guitar scene
Now my gold is turning me green
Oh help me love
Because I can't stop my heart from beating
Oh help me love
Because I can't stop my eyes from seeing that you are leaving
Now the anthem's out of tune
And the fire is in the other room
I guess I'll be seeing you soon

Trouble Boy

Do you even care
Why I wonder why I'm here?
In an Alabama night
This boy came undone
I was just sixteen
Bold and mean
With a thunder that echoed from below
I became the night
I became anything I could
I could barely even forget
All those sins I tried to regret
Dearest Ohio
Lord I'm coming home to you
Trouble Boy
I'm singing to you
Well the clubs are closed
And I'm out here turning blue
Trouble Boy
Please remember my name
Well it's so damn hard
Just to play your game
Maybe I'm just the same?
Trouble Boy
Trouble Boy
I really love ya
I wish I could play this show
Singing above ya
Where are you tonight?
Well, that jukebox got me feelin' alright

Fever Dreams
04:50
|
|||
|
I lost my light
In the month of May
A waveless sea
Just shaking in its cage
I am the highway
Dressed in sleeves of oak
Couldn't handle the driving
Couldn't handle the smoke
The cracked debris
Of you and me
In the diamond sea
Built a strange little world
I loved and I feared it
Shot so loud
I could barely hear it
All these fever dreams
Starring you and I
Rock n' Roll devotion
Surrender to the night
Making the scene
Walking the line
Darling, give me your time
Is this living?
Is this dying?
Maybe I don't mind
We are the night
The stars
And the shimmer

Heart of Blue
02:56
|
|||
|
War and peace
In a backwoods town
Build you up
Just to burn you down
I'm a lover and fighter and a refugee
And it's strange to be so free
I was searching for an angel of silver and gold
But the heart was dark and my night grew cold
Oh baby, I wasn't even looking for you
I was happy to live with a heart of blue
I'm living with a heart of blue
The waves return
And crash that line
Separating me
From just being on your mind
Oh baby, I want to come home to you
Sick and tired of living with a heart of blue
I'm living with a heart of blue

Tears of Tequila
03:15

Goodbye and so long
My rights and my wrongs
Brokenhearted songs in my ear
She was my gold
So lovely and so bold
Reflecting in the falling of my tears
I was a fool
An exception to that rule
That every boy grows up to be a man
A distant land
Was all that was tasteful
What a waste of a rock n' roll band
Tears of tequila
And a heart full of hell
I've broken my soul right in two
Can I be in love with the man I used to be?
Well, baby, that's all up to you
I love my friends
And the houses at dead ends
Where I'll drown in bottle full of sin
Call me sometime
When you're walking down that line
And you want to be forgotten once again
So here's to Townes, Buck Owens, and to Merle
And all the players we try to deceive
It's a crying shame
That love is just a game
And we all got a trick up our sleeve
Tears of tequila
And a heart full of hell
I've broken my soul right in two
Can I be in love with the man I used to be?
Well, baby, that's all up to you

Song For Jonathan

Rain
Won't you pour on me?
Fill me up to the brim with
Your bloody history
Heart
Won't you beat on me?
Like the lonesome rhythm
Of that distant symphony
Maybe my love
You will be free
Love
Come to me?
But don't stay too long
I've got places to be
Heartache
Remember me?
Like the rock n' roll songs
My dad used to sing to me
Maybe someday
You will be free
Because maybe someday
You'll be with me

I Will Testify
02:50
|
|||
|
My eyes filled up with shades of blue
Over nights I never spent with you
These voices, well, they're calling you
But you are never home
We break and break and break like dawn
The troubled lines of forgotten songs
We always know it might turn out wrong
But it's worth a goddamn try
And I will testify
My soul it floats within this man
California drugs in hand
I see you lying on the sand
I miss you babe, tonight
Like rolling stones
And ancient hands
That spilled the blood upon this land
And you I never understand
But it's worth a goddamn try
And I will testify
These summer nights
They cut through me
Like your smokey eyes
That set me free
Your arms are where I want to be
But you are never home
So I'll sink into the dirt and dust
The earth will coat my heart with rust
I love you baby, so damn much
But now I'll say goodbye
I will testify

Travelin' Man

Travelin' man
Got the hotel blues
I'm suffocating on the front page news
My travelin' man
Falling forward with your arms at your side
A bullet shot into a blue goodnight
My travelin' man
Travelin' man won't you come and take my hand?
Try to free me from the soil of this land
When we were kids
Our eyes were so bright
Now we never take
Our own advice
Travelin' man won't you come and take my hand?
Help to make these losers understand
When we were kids
Our eyes were so bright
Now we never take
Our own advice
Well you once had a foreign love
She flew away like a city dove
My travelin' man

Love Is a Road
03:48
|

|
Love is road
I can't be on with you
Love is road
Cuts right between us two
And when I see those lights flashin'
I just can't close my eyes
Because love is a road
I just can't ever find

Sweet Cosette
02:26
|
|||
|
The winds upon your window bring the birds into a song
Singing pleasantly for your darling hazel eyes
The dew of the morning ain't as half as sweet as you
It's a love I can hardly classify
We'll float upon the waves and tell secrets to the sea
Hold you close neath' the moon's glowing light
My heart ain't nothing but an empty vessel
Without you in my life
I'll love you forever goodnight
Oh Sweet Cosette
I've walked this whole damn world
From the seas of Sweden to the hills of Wichita
But your heart reminds me of the all the love within the land
From the breeze of summer to the chill within the fall
And your head upon my shoulder will wash the pain away
And you'll drift to dreaming in another blue twilight
Never was a perfect man, but I'll do my best to try
I love you forever goodnight
I love you forever goodnight
