Girl, you've got those hands, that heal
Help me get in touch with what I feel
Cause you understand and you sympathize
And you know me best, it's no surprise

When you're with me there's a light
And I can see my way
When you speak to me it's a song

Hey!
Now that you have my attention,
What are you gonna do?
You might have good intention
But they're not coming through
You're very pleased with yourself I see,
It's like a walk in the park
You weren't lying by anyone else, cause

When I was surrounded by the world
You were the only one who came
And you were the only one astounded
Which kept me grounded
As the other girls thrashed my very name

Then I looked over
Just in time to see her smiling back at me

Broken Boy Soldier

I'm pulling my questions from my shelf
I'm asking forgiveness
I'm asking about it by myself
And I want you to know this
And I want you to know this

Can we call it a day?
Now would that be OK?
Can we just go our own separate ways? (ways)
'Cos I'm cold and wet
And I'm willing to bet
That you constructed this maze (maze)

I stumble around

I'm not sure if there's a point to this story
But I'm going to tell it again
So many other people try to tell the tale
Not one of them knows the end

It was a junk-house in South Carolina
Held a boy the age of ten
Along with his older brother Billy

(Daddy, will you tell me a story? hahahahaha...)

(ahahahaha...
ahahaha
I'll double track that...)

Haven't seen the sun in weeks
My skin is getting pale

It's a decision that was made between you and me
And the division that was lately this odyssey, believe me
I'm bad enough and I guess we're doing fine
But I'm scared of something more that is on the line

Well I got five on the five
And I been taking time, doing it all along
Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh

Girl, you've got those hands, that heal
Help me get in touch with what I feel
Cause you understand and you sympathize
And you know me best, it's no surprise

When you're with me there's a light
And I can see my way
When you speak to me it's a song

If you call me I'll come running
And you can call me anytime
These sixteen strings we're strumming
They will back up every line, every line, every line
If you call me I'll come running
And you can call me anytime
And these sixteen strings we're strumming
They will back up every line

I've got a rabbit, it likes to hop
I've got a girl and she likes to shop
The other foot looks like it won't drop
I had an uncle and he got shot

Is this greeting the type that's meant for me?
Are you part of this kakistocracy

My baby's on the level
I try to read her mind
She's on the straight and narrow
I'm guessing all the time

But I can't see the road
If I'm looking at the signs
I'm carrying a load

I like it better when you tell me lies
When you hide what's behind those eyes
Don't wanna know about the things you do
I just wanna live a lie with you
I just wanna lie with you
I just wanna live a lie with you
I just wanna lie with you
I just wanna live a lie with you

go ahead, go ahead and smash it on the floor
take whatever is left, and take it with you out the door
see if I cry
see if I shed a single sorry tear
can't say that it's been that great
no in fact it's been a wasted free year

everybody sees

(Never thought it would be like this)

What will you do
Now that you're gone?
On to somebody new
Well, that didn't take long
And where you gonna go?
Not that I care

You look pretty in your fancy dress
But I detect unhappiness
You never speak so I have to guess
You're not free.

There, maybe when you're old enough
You'll realize you're not so tough
And some days the seas get rough

Only child, only son
Treated like a criminal ever since day one
Only child, where do you go?
And are you coming back again? 'Cause no one wants to know
Only child, one of these days
Someone's gonna come around, and try to make you change

Only child, sensitive soul

Never open your eyes uncover your ears
You might notice something
Because of all of your lies over the years
You've been missing something
You've been missing something

Lost forever, done for good
And there's nothing you can do

Pull this blanket off of me
Maybe it will help me see
The things I believed to be true
I’m paying for what should be free
But I don’t buy what their telling me
And I want to believe in you

It’s hard sticking to your guns

Been having bad times
And I've been paying dues
Got shoes and money
And good friends too

Always play to win
But always seem to lose
That's why I think I got

I seem to think I think I got a little situation
So listen to me sister listen maybe you can help
I think I gave a lot of problems my consideration
But not for me they always seem to be for someone else

Why all the people always seem to just be on vacation
What do I get from never touching anything at all
I'm like a trash can holding all the information

Find yourself a girl, and settle down
Live a simple life in a quiet town

Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes

Your friends have shown a kink in the single life

Find yourself a girl and settle down
Live a simple life in a quiet town

Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)

So steady as she goes

Down on your hands and knees, underneath the poplar trees
Digging through sticks and stones, looking for store bought bones

Waiting on the rising sun, clutching at your holster gun
Praying on a shooting star that I can be wherever you are

Looking through a telescope, maybe there's a sign of hope
Leaving everything behind, stirring a store bought mind

Woo!

Here comes the Sunday driver
Came to get my sister
We know he's such a liar
Can't believe I missed her
Ain't it right? Yeah
Ain't it wrong?

In the heat of the desert sun,
on the blistering trail
An appaloosa and,
a wanted man sprung from jail

Slow in motion and shadow-less
The switch and the spurs
Every living thing, with a fatal sting

Well you impress me so completely
I start obsessing to hear from you
Whatever you do, you do sweetly
It takes a lot to not take from you

You're not secure enough to tell me
Your first impression of all these clowns
So you'll be tricky enough to compel me

You and me forever
We belong together
And we'll always endeavor
Throughout any type of weather

You want everything to be just like
The stories that you read but never write
You gotta learn to live and live and learn

How you gonna top yourself?
When there is nobody else?
How you gonna do it by yourself?
Cause I'm not gonna be here to help you.

Yeah.

Alright...

Yellow sun is shining in the afternoon
I'd really like to tell you, but I feel it's too soon
My actions are dictated by the phase of the moon
The phase of the moon

The sun, it isn't hiding when it sets on you
It's not a coward like me, and I know that it's true
Waiting for the darkness now is all I can do

You don't understand me
But if the feeling was right you might comprehend me
And why do you feel the need to tease me
Why don't you turn it around
It might be easier to please me

And there's always another point of view
A better way to do the things we do

You don't understand me
But if the feeling was right, you might comprehend me
And why do you feel the need to tease me?
Why don't you turn it around,
it might be easier to please me

And there's always another point of view,
A better way to do the things we do
