Until I Can't Remember
02:56

Don't know what I'm doing here and I can't begin to explain
And that karaoke is burning a hole in my brain
I'm gonna have another 'cause I ain't hardly there yet
I drink until I can't remember what I'm drinking to forget
Funny how a little bit to drink
Can make you stop wanting to stop and think
I'm getting closer but I know I'm not there yet
I drink until I can't remember what I'm drinking to forget
Now I'm telling everyone exactly what I think about her
I try to whisper but I just keep getting louder
Well I finally made it 'cause I don't know who I wish I'd never met
I drink until I can't remember what I'm drinking to forget
I drink until I can't remember what I'm drinking to forget
I drink until I can't remember what I'm drinking to forget

You hold me close but not too tight
I think I'm through with playing it polite
All your signals are turning green tonight
Something says I shouldn't take it slow
And I can't hold it anymore
You wind me up and then we're ready to go
She feels so good I can nearly taste her
Consequences I'll deal with 'em later
Can't slow down so I won't even try
The things your eyes so you want to do
Well even I can't misconstrue
I only hope I don't forget 'em when I come to
She feels so good I can nearly taste her
Consequences I'll deal with 'em later
Can't slow down so I won't even try
Whoever thought God would get in the way
Now the hell can I explain
I wanted scars but all I got was your name
She feels so good I could nearly taste her
Consequences I'll deal with 'em later
She didn't kill me but it's not 'cause she didn't try

Lost My Mind
03:29

Driving through east Texas
Growing fat on Cracklins
I was missing you when I lost my mind
Three days of panic and drink
Wondering what you were doing
I was missing you when I lost my mind
The moon appears in the afternoon
And the sun don't rise at all
I was missing you when I lost my mind
The swamps are full of gators
The gators will keep my secrets
I was missing you when I lost my mind
I just need to get home
Dry out and pray for focus
Regain my equilibrium for awhile
Maybe seeing you again
Won't give me back my balance
But I think I'll give it a try
Driving through east Texas
The pine trees suffocate me
I was missing you when I lost my mind
I know I wasn't subtle
But you said you never knew
I was missing you when I lost my mind
I just need to get home
Dry out and pray for focus
Regain my equilibrium for awhile
Maybe seeing you again
Won't give me back my balance
But I think I'll give it a try

Reflection
03:20
|
|||
|
It's taken me 20 years to get this far
and now I fear that it was all for naught
Every empty road I walk
Every person that I talk to leads me back to the start
I watched her reflection in the window as she broke my heart
Every time I look away there's always something there to remind me
Of what she was like
Fading stars lead the path to everything I could ask for
Shining in the night
I watched her reflection in the window as she broke my heart
As I walked she slept through the hours
As she slept I caught a plane
And I thought she'd do the same
She walks through streets that feel like canyons
Something moves but it's really no one outside her mind
She walks by the place it happened
Turns her head and keeps on going
Hurries on her way
She was looking for the window I was watching as she broke my heart
She was looking for the window I was watching as she broke my heart
I watched her reflection in the window as she broke my heart

Happy In My Misery
02:22
|
|||
|
Every morning starts out the same
Wishing the sun would go back to where it came
Stumble about, my eyes rimmed red
Pour, drink, repeat, again
And again
I don't need anyone anymore
If life's a floor then love's a trap door
Just when you think you're safe from falling down
Some girl comes and puts you in the ground
I wouldn't want it any other way
No light among these clouds of gray
I'm happy in my misery
Don't be the one to make me crack a smile
When you green eyes overcome these blue feelings are better left
Denied
And when I lay my head down to sleep
I only hope it's black, empty, and deep
No one to think about, no one to hold
No one I have to learn to let go
I wouldn't want it any other way
No light among these clouds of gray
I'm happy in my misery
Don't be the one to make me crack a smile
When you green eyes overcome these blue feelings are better left
Denied

There's nothing wrong with leaping before you look
But don't be surprised at all the time it took
To try to fix what you should have fled
But instead ended up in your bed
If only you had known
The bullet that you dodge may be your own
It ain't no shame in getting over your head
But what do you do with the girl you've just agreed to wed
When you find you no longer care
You can't come up for air
You're sinking like a stone
The bullet that you dodge may be your own
It's not just a few who learn
They wound themselves at every turn
You know you're not the only one
Shot by a bullet fired from his own gun
It never helps to bury your head in the sand
When things don't turn out exactly the way you planned
You wake in the night terrified
Of the stranger sleeping by your side
Maybe you'd be better off alone
The bullet that you dodge may be your own
The bullet that you dodge
The bullet that you dodge
The bullet that you dodge may be your own

Mississippi's Flooding
04:56
|

|
They say the Mississippi's flooding
They say it's drowning New Orleans
They say everything in Louisiana
Washed down here from Tennessee
People talk about 1927
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
Some times six feet don't amount to nothing
'Cause this year the streets are holding nine
They say the Mississippi's flooding
They say it's drowning New Orleans
They say everything in Louisiana
Washed down here from Tennessee
There's roosters crowing on the rooftops
Farmers ain't got nothing left to plow
The levy's busted and it keeps on raining
There ain't no way to stop it now
They say the Mississippi's flooding
They say it's drowning New Orleans
They say everything in Louisiana
Washed down here from Tennessee

When I wake up in the morning
It's from planes flying overhead
What I'd like to do is stay home with you
Lay me down in your bed
"Oh how I miss you"
Someone told me on the phone
You've been sitting in the meadow
And I'll come see you when I get back home
I remember how you held me
Staying up half the night
Sitting there you were playing with my hair
Now all I hear are outbound flights
"Oh how I miss you"
Someone told me on the phone
You've been sitting in the meadow
And I'll come see you when I get back home
I was thinking about you
Doing all I could to hold you near
In my dreams I've tried everything
But in the morning you're still not here
"Oh how I miss you"
Someone told me on the phone
You've been sitting in the meadow
And I'll come see you when I get back home

Secondhand Girlfriend
02:25
|
|||
|
Well it was late September and he couldn't remember
how long it'd been
Since he hit the wall so hard he lost a marble or ten
All alone with his alcohol and his nicotine
Wondering how he ended up with this secondhand girlfriend
Well she doesn't need him 'cause she's always got Jesus to lean on
Oh yeah
He doesn't care who she was with or where she's been
Everyone always in love with her and her every whim
While he's stuck waiting up for that secondhand girlfriend
Oh what a shame it is
My my how it always ends
With his hands tied to that secondhand girlfriend
You could see it on his face the day he finally faced the fact
He'd long since smashed through that metaphoric deadend
Waiting up every night was a stupid way to spend
The rest of his life tied to that secondhand girlfriend

Slow Motion
03:42
|

I can hear it in your voice
Cracking as you try to speak
Slow motion before there was slow motion
The words running down your cheek
You don't have to say
No you don't have to say
Please don't say what I already know
How blind do we both have to be
To believe this is gonna work
This is the way it must feel
When black is burned
You don't have to say
No you don't have to say
Please don't say what I already know
The walls start closing in
Our shadows flickering
Neither really sure just where to begin
I could ramble for days on end
There's no sense in bothering
The present is past and the future is broken
I can hear it in your voice
Cracking as you try to speak
Slow motion before there was slow motion
The words running down your cheek
You don't have to say
No you don't have to say
Please don't say what I already know

Dream of Amarillo
02:48
|
|||
|
In some dingy diner I couldn't believe how a man could be
so whitless and naive
Out there in Texas I can only guess why he traded your heart
for a pinball machine
Your molasses voice makes my knees swing
I forget to breathe when I hear you sing
Wish I was Texas to see where it'd take us
And maybe you'd fall in love with me
Why do you have to be so far away from me?
I lay my head down on my pillow and dream of Amarillo
Close my eyes and I'll go to say hello and take it slow with you
Every day would be a menagerie of canyons, calypso and
old Chablis
If I was in Texas why no one would expect us
to spend our lives so happily
Why do you have to be so far away from me?
I lay my head down on my pillow and dream of Amarillo
Close my eyes and I'll go to say hello and take it slow with you

It's the nights that I most fear
Wide awake with no one near
I just want a little hope before I reach the end of my rope
May the lord grant me peace
The days are starting to wear
In the wrinkles on my face in the gray in my hair
Why I can't I take a rest from so much unhappiness
May the lord grant me peace
May the lord grant me peace
May he reach out and touch my hand
Tell me I'm doing right by him
And this is all a part of his plan
I'm doing the best I can
But some things are just too hard for one man
But I can carry on with his strength to draw upon
May the lord grant me peace
May the lord grant me peace
May the lord grant me peace
