- All Good People
There are dogs in the yard, howling at the moon
There are sinners like me our judgment's coming soon
And I stand at the bottom of this dark and lonely well
Saying "please give me answers so I might escape Hell"
I watched from my window as they gunned down unarmed men
Tried to say it's not my problem: couldn't happen to my friends
But the truth is they're my brothers, and they're my countrymen
- Bottom of the River
Hold my hand
Ooh, baby, it’s a long way down to the bottom of the river
Hold my hand,
Ooh, baby, it’s a long way down, a long way down
If you get sleep or if you get none
The cock’s gonna call in the morning, baby
Check the cupboard for your daddy’s gun
- Chasing Twisters
"Chasing Twisters"
I was born with lightning in my heels
Sewed a spur onto my ankle
Bit a horse under the steel.
And I lost hope when I was still so young
Had an angel on my shoulder
But the devil always won
- Dance In The Graveyards
When I die
I don’t want to rest in peace
I want to dance in joy
I want to dance in the graveyards, the graveyards
And while I’m alive
I don’t want to be alone
Mourning the ones who came before
I want to dance with them some more
- Fire
I, I got my eye on you, I heard what you been saying
These rumors you spread ’round, they burn me down like flames and
We used to be friends, but that ain’t true now
You ain’t got my back, you’ve shown me that so many times
When I need help
Can’t call for help
’Cause no one comes
- Holding On to Good
Baby, I’m not waiting
I’m just holding on to good
It’s still early, it’s still more than I should
I’m off to Carolina
I’m gonna wear my mama’s boots
We may be parted, but that don’t cut us at the roots
’Cause in the morning, in the morning
- I Will Never Die
Hickory, oak, pine and weed
Bury my heart underneath these trees
And when a southern wind comes to raise my soul
Spread my spirit like a flock of crows
Cause I’ve loved you for too long
I’ve loved you for too long
I’ve loved you for too long
- If I loved You
If I loved you, life would be easy
There’d be no truth that I’d be scared of
I could walk through every valley
And you’d light me with all of your love
But I don’t love you, not like I want to
I don’t love you and that makes it hard
And every morning, I see how you watch me
- Outlaws
Baby we can be magic
Pack your bags because we leave tonight
I've got something to show you
Wrap your arms 'round my waist so tight
Let that hunger control you
Our parents won't understand
- Run
We’re gonna rob the banks and feel no shame
Burn our fingers and change our names
And I’ll tame the roads that can’t be tamed
With you
Then we’ll race like falcons to crash and burn
Learn the lessons we never learned
If you kiss me harder, someday I’ll turn
- Surrounded
I was born in the state where my mother was raised
With the children of soldiers, the children of slaves
And it’s too much to take, the mind how it breaks
The lessons the stories the shame and the glories and all
They linger ’round
Foxes and hounds
Our souls are bound
- Unlike Any Other
"Unlike Any Other"
Here I am in this empty room
Miles away from you, if you ask me
I’d get in my car and I’d drive all night
I’m coming home to you, if you’ll have me
But no one needs to know
