Looking to Die
03:53

I’ve been looking to die
When it’s my time in those great plains
You’ve had a hell of a ride
So why don’t you show me the way
He was holding
He was hiding
He was sharper than the devil’s tongue
And he was clever
But he’d never share his tricks
With you, or anyone
He had money
Had a honey
Some broad he hardly knew
There’s something ‘bout him
Something he wishes wasn’t true
So I asked him:
I’ve been looking to die
When it’s my time in those great plains
You’ve had a hell of a ride
So why don’t you show me the way
She was pretty
Hated cities
Lived in some small country bar
But she’d never do you or anyone
Any harm
(And that’s the truth - yep)
Till her honey
Owed some money
To some guy she hardly knew
There’s something ‘bout him
Something she wishes could be true
So she asked him:
I’ve been looking to die
When it’s my time in those great plains
You’ve had a hell of a ride
So why don’t you show me the way
So you’re leaving trails behind you now
To find your way back home
But you never thought you’d have
To go alone
Now you’re hoping for someone to call
To save you when you fall
And to tell you what you knew
After all
I’ve been looking to die
When it’s my time in those great plains
You’ve had a hell of a ride
So why don’t you show me the way

It’s been taking your time
It’s been killing your life
Now you’re losing control
So you’re sleeping less
You’re a mess
Got mind and body
No soul
Now you’re taking your time
In line
Waiting on one last chance
Tell you what
Here’s to luck
I’ll give it to you
At a glance
You’ve been running
I’ve been hanging around
I ain’t running
I’ll keep hanging around
Cuz I ain’t done
Now you’re living a lie
It’s a dozen a dime
Now you’re out in the cold
You’ve been blowing smoke
You’re a joke
The one thing you had
You sold
Now you’re taking your time
In line
Waiting on one last chance
Tell you what
Here’s to luck
I’ll give it to you at a glance
You’ve been running
I’ve been hanging around
I ain’t running
I’ll keep hanging around
Cuz I ain’t done

Wanna Be With You
03:22
|

I just saw the light of the day
When her body passed my way
It was like a flash of light
Way up in the sky
Now she wants to take me home
To meet her daddy and her mom
They’ll say we’re moving too fast
But we’ll say it’s gonna last
Cuz it’s love
There’s a little place
Up in outer space
Where I want
To live my life
You can be there too
When I think about
A life without ya
It makes me wanna
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
Now she is such a country girl
She came along and changed my world
My life was black and white
She brought color TV overnight
Oh woah
There’s a little place
Up in outer space
Where I want
To live my life
You can be there too
When I think about
A life without ya
It makes me wanna
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with
You and you and you
And you and you
You and you and you
And you and you, you
You, you, you
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you

Great Estate

Hey
How’s it going
Where ya storing
All those fine things
You
Keep em hidden
Say good riddance
Well we’ve got opinions
Of where you’re holding out
You talk about your great estate
They ask for some
You contemplate
You’re finally feeling
Pressure from the crowd
So
Where ya headed
You know you said that you were
On your way
But now they’re tearing em down
They’ll burn this place to the ground
And you can bet that they’re
Here to stay
So good luck holding out
You talk about your great estate
They ask for some
You contemplate
You’re finally feeling
Pressure from the crowd

Never Time
03:48
|
|||
|
It was time
For retribution
Made another man
For the institution
Where’s he at
Haven’t seen him in years
Left his home
Left his wife
Left his whole
Goddamn life
For what
What’s he got to show
He was looking to fly
She was ride or die
He was burning at both ends
Through the night
There’s never time
For lies
So he left
Made his fortune when
He was struck with awe
He said never again
I won’t live this way
I can’t be bought
But his hands were tied
He had already fought
Made a living
Had a life
He already lost that
Goddamn fight
It was done
And man, so was he
He was looking to fly
She was ride or die
He was burning at both ends
Through the night
There’s never time
For lies
He was looking to fly
She was ride or die
He was burning at both ends
Through the night
There’s never time
There’s never time

Where Is Your Answer
03:01
|
|||
|
We were moving east
Flying past nothing
On Broadway
In the scorching heat
Your feet
Were burning on the dash
Nothing was said
For the best
We wouldn't mean it anyway
Your face
Was red
When out of the blue
You thought to ask
Hey, are you lonely now
I'm lonely too
Hey, are you angry now
I'm angry too
We were off
And never again
Did I see in front of me
I'd been thinking of
All sorts of ways
To retrace my past
You were living away
In a world
Somewhere I couldn't reach
So I stayed behind
Building something
To last
Hey, are you lonely now
I'm lonely too
Hey, are you angry now
I'm angry too
I know so are you

Be Good

Be good to the people you hate
It’s worth it
Be good to the people who don’t
Deserve it
Give em love, give em care
Turn the other cheek
Cuz in this life
We get to do hard things
Be good your neighbor
They’re just trying to
Make it
Be good to the ones who
Made it around
So give em love, give em care
Turn the other cheek
Oh, cuz ya know
They’re going through some
Hard things
I’m tired of all this complaining
We’re looking for someone to blame
Yeah, tell me where ya headed
I know we’ll get there someday
Someday soon
Be good to the people
Who don’t care about you anymore
You know they’re out there
Trying to live out some dream
So give em love, give em care
Till they’re laughing weak, yeah
Cuz you know
We’re all going through some
Hard things
I’m tired of all this complaining
We’re looking for someone to blame
Yeah, tell me where ya headed
I know we’ll get there someday
Someday soon
Someday soon
