EVERYBODY LOVES YOU Morning came sweetly burning sweat out of your skin The night spoke bleakly coming clean bout what y’all did And the horrors of your head tore the fervor from your spine And the only reason you stay here is reserving that you just might Little white pills swimming in bath tubs of booze Your ears are bruised by the sound of the water as it moves You gave the rhythm to the river, took to resting in the sand Filled your lungs up like canteens until the rivers were dammed And your fingers are getting softer and the record’s getting old The voices keep on talking, tugging bills out of your fold Pinching pay days for hey-days, waylaying shakes and spins And you party like an animal and scare all of your friends You break your head against the wall to break the wall inside your head But, everybody loves you Everybody loves you Everybody loves you now Oh, but all you talk about is laying in the ground And you may have had a chance back then But you sure as hell don’t know Cause everybody loves you Everybody loves you Everybody loves you now You shouldn’t of thrown your heart out to the crowd

Tie It Up 06:02
TIE IT UP I was never lonely til I met you I was never lonely til I cared I was never lonely til I left you Til I found you weren’t there So now I’m a hopeless debtor My hoping got to rusting awful quick So long since I’ve cared for tomorrow I fear tomorrow might’ve taken a hint So I’m no long-term investor I got a pocketful of rocks I can’t keep I know that I seem so insistent But I want you to throw those stones with me Sure, I wasn’t sober when I met you But catching me sober takes some luck I know I overstayed my welcome But I’m never sure that I’ll be waking up Each moment of life is alive Aging behind our eyes Twine on our spine we will walk individual lines From a knot in the center where all those who enter combine And if the knot should ever unwind, I’ll tie it up And the clock’s always talking so loudly The money’s always showing up late I hid inside and drew the curtains I’m nauseous, but awake

MOTHER MOUNTAIN I pull up slow and quiet the engine The porch light’s on like it always is I throw a tall can in the trash can And catch her lonesome eye And I ask her how she’s doing Almost hoping that she’ll lie She says, “Son, I’m not having a good time” I hear her voice through the smoke and fog She asks me why I look so tired I say, “A drunk don’t go to sleep” He just turns out the light Then I fumble with my feelings When my thoughts begin to fight I say, “Ma, something happens at night” But, a day will come and we’ll start over We’ll start clean and mean and sober We’re just gonna have to get a little older These mountains are just moments Melting slowly into oceans And I have never seen one the same My mother My mountain I am afraid The skillet’s warming in the kitchen We’re singing along to Justin Townes She says the son outdoes the father And I sharply ask her, “Why?” And we argue over nothing Until she begins to cry She says, “Son, you’re tongue ain’t a knife” The air is filled with silent whispers She says she needs to hear a song I play the one that she’s wanting And we howl at the night And we’re sitting at the table With every lonely soul that shined And all we are is music And everything is true And I can feel the weight is lifting And the fear is leaving too And the gold glows in our green eyes And rain flows through the root And a good time is our heartbeat And it’s pretty hard to lose I say, “Ma, you wanna sing another tune?” A day will come and we’ll start over We’ll start clean and mean and sober We’re just gonna have to get a little older These mountains are just moments Melting slowly into oceans And I have never seen one the same My mother My mountain It’s okay

Matchbox 05:01
MATCHBOX You’re a real good person That’s why I don’t tell you much You’ve done some real clean living I’ve done a touch I’m beat, blind, and digging And your tooth ain’t cut I spoke in fragments and fidgets You spoke and had nothing to say I spoke and I swallowed my coffee And I choked on the rest of the day You’re a brave, broken rascal Man, you’re a car wreck You’re a bottom-dwelling bastard You’re climbing like a cat scratches You purchase your next days With a matchbox full of ashes You’re right and you’re wrong and you’re honest You pull at your blood comet trail You’ve clowned around tugging on tears You’re a bad guy and that’s why I’m here You’re a bad guy and that’s why I’m here That’s why I’m here

BODY LYING DOWN She traded birthing morning’s burden burning knives into her spine For a red-eyed ride on a steady stream of ever-dying nights And we all dug the rhythm of her rolling black hole eyes And the way her words would climb above our beaten down confines And, boy, she won’t touch the ground Boy, she won’t touch the ground And when we find her in the morning there ain’t no one to be found Just a body lying down Her sadness hid in silence for Susie was polite Her honest talk began to stop when she heard her mother cry And waking in the alley, she would dream her mother died So she could follow after, cutting loose the anchor line But, boy, she don’t feel proud Boy she don’t feel proud So, when we find her the in the morning don’t you feed her with a crowd Just a body lying down Well, we all thought her a gambler and she wore it like a shroud She played her hand like a guilty man, all in on her way out And some blacked-out night she told me of her blameless exit route As she cocked her head back in my bed pouring bullets in her mouth And, boy, she just wanted out Boy, she just wanted out And when I find her in the morning, I won’t know where she is bound Just a body lying down She traded birthing morning’s burden for her rolling black hole eyes

I'm Not One 04:11
I’M NOT ONE I’m not one to reminisce The man I am today I won’t miss In the morning where my bookshelves shake their heads And the mirror adds a couple days, cause I swear just one has passed I swear just one has passed I’m not one to lay me down The sleep I need would put me in the ground In my dying, where I’ll dream my leaving proud And my dreaming offers breathing and my sorrow can’t be found My sorrow can’t be found I’m not one to build a house I’ll burn the wood I find til I burn out In the darkness where the silence starts to joke And the lonely wind throws dirty smoke down my lonely, dirty throat And I start to get to the joke I’m not one to figure out I hide behind the shadow of a doubt In the evening where hot neons seer your skin And you shake the sight out of your eyes with a chuckle and a grin Things like that just don’t exist It’s just in my head It’s a scab I like to pick

I JUST WANNA SING I just wanna sing I don’t wanna talk no more My mind has done its time and my thoughts are worn My eyes don’t wanna sleep and my belly don’t wanna eat If you asked my soul to speak it wouldn’t make a peep It’s plain to see that I just wanna sing Boy, I think I’m going crazy All my words are having babies Grinding tight and tighter to a halt Throw my words into the fire Burn the barbs off of the wire Hear the holy truth that can’t be claimed I just wanna sing I don’t wanna write this song I’ve killed so many things by naming them My eyes just wanna see, but my thoughts are still breathing But, I found one way to suffocate the stream Can’t you see that I just wanna sing Boy, I think I’m going crazy All my words are having babies Grinding tight and tighter to a halt Throw my words into the fire Burn the barbs off of the wire Hear the holy truth that can’t be claimed I just wanna sing

SINKING GOT ME SWIMMING Take the hurry from your head Put your worrying to rest If we can die any old time it’s time we put it to the test Stomp the starch out of your collar or you might just break your neck I got some dirty water if you got a dirty dress We could drink like weary sailors smiling at the sinking ship Thinking sinking got me swimming with all my sinking friends I had a touch of vertigo Frantic scrambling after ropes I found that I could not erase it, so I embraced the come-and-go Dragging dead meat up the mountain tops I rise to rock and roll Let’s roll another number It ain’t no one's but our own We’re stumbling and fumbling staying steady down the road We’re stumbling and fumbling staying steady down the road Burn the box over your head The mental vines aren’t vestiges They don’t fear us going out our minds They fear us going in And crazy is used vaguely just to trap what don’t fit in If you’re making what they’re breaking they’re gonna try and break your wrist And the greatest line I ever saw was written in a ditch Sinking got me swimming with all my sinking friends
