She rang me up, said meet me around back
I get off at 2
She'll have glitter all over her body
Soon enough i will too
I drank the last drop of Old No. 7
So I reached for Jack's cousin Evan
It's just a 10 mile ride from the outskirts of Hell to Heaven
I'm gonna get there one way or another
Til red and blue lights split the night
And blew my cover
There's a million ways to go, but i did the first thing that i thought of
Put the pedal to the metal, get out of dodge
come Hell or high water
You see it and you want it, so you take it now you got it
Instead of running from the law you spun around and you fought it
Cheap whiskey and bad decisions
You know how that story goes
The judge said son, you care to explain yourself?
One good answer before i toss you in a cell
I said blame it on the whiskey
Blame it on the cocaine
Blame it on the devils dancing around in my brain
But let me tell you, if you seen this girl
You would done the same

YOU AIN'T RIGHT

I need a woman to make me my best
She said I ain't your mother
So clean up your goddamn mess
she said that I ain't right
You got no future, you ain't even got a car
You make no money
Playing that stupid guitar
She said that I ain't right
All you do is you drink and you fight
Ain't gonna wonder all day
Where you were last night
She said I'm too blind to see the signs
I saw em but I paid no mind
Moving in the wrong direction
But I'm making real good time
Stop your knocking, you ain't coming in
Your nose is bleeding and you smell like whiskey again
I'm a work in progress, so stop your complaining
One of these days your gonna see what I'm saying
I'll do something amazing, be the talk of the town
Your gonna wish you kept that bitch ass around
So, hear me out baby, I wrote you a tune
This is me going crazy, howling at the moon

MOVE ON

Working hard everyday for what feels like minimum wage
smacked around like a bitch just to make someone else rich
the daily grind just grinds your teeth, you're playing dead to find some peace
They'll never let you get ahead with their hands wrapped around your neck
Don't matter what the price you pay, the same ol shit a different day
Marching to an old slave drum but I'm broke and wanna know how come
It takes money to make money and money I have none
Scheming dreaming wishful thinking, clock is ticking, ship is sinking
Fuck this fuck that fuck you
I'm moving on
I no longer care, I'm yelling fuck you I'm moving on
Heart's beating out my chest, and I'm all out of cigarettes
One life with no regrets, Something's gotta give
You call up your favorite fuck, she does it all, you think it's luck
You're with her everyday, you say you're in control it must be love
Now she screams until she cries, you get high just to get by
You don't need no alibis, the truth is nothing but a lie
Everytime, everyday, don't matter what you do or say
I can't afford to waste no time, baby I got Hell to pay
Guitar strapped to my back, a duffle bag, a fifth of Jack
A road less traveled, mind unravels, forward march no looking back

When you lay awake in the middle of the night
Your heart is racing and you can't get your thought right
They're going places you don't want the to be
They're showing you things that you don't wanna see
You're terrified cus you realize you reap what you sow
Your paralyzed, eyes open wide
Front row for the horrorshow
Heart beats like a drum, no kingdom come
You're too far from the light
You can't win them all, one day you'll fall
But you gave em a good fight
Then you feel a shiver running down your spine
Someone walked across your grave tonight
When your demons say go, when your demons say kill
You silence the voice of reason and ignore your free will
But somewhere deep inside you know right from wrong
and that you'll pay with your life for all the evil things you've done
You're terrified cus you realize, there'll be no golden road
You're paralyzed, eyes open cus Heavens gates are closed
It seems a guilty conscience has caught up to you
You'd hate so much that you'd see red, now you're singing the blues

TUESDAY BLUES
04:59
|

Listen close, you can still hear them laugh
Looks like they can step right outta this photograph
The sounds in their souls were blessings and a curse
Pouring pain on the page within every verse
They put ink to the paper, they're smudging the words
Like they're writing a spell to send demons to Hell
They left us Friday, left their thoughts behind
Monday morning was the end of the line
They sang those Tuesday blues
Now they echo forever
Perfect harmony, there's no such thing
when your demons scream while angels try to sing
The cracks in the ice spring rivers of tears
And with a heavy heart. more cracks will appear
I once wrote a song from dusk until dawn
meant for whoever, it's with me forever
They left us Friday, left their thoughts behind
Monday morning was the end of the line

I NEVER DRINK ALONE
04:36

I never drink alone
NO I never drink alone
So don't you
Don't worry about me
I'm never alone
I don't wanna be
I never drink alone
No I never drink alone
Don't you
Don't worry about me
My demons keep me company
Not hiding in the shadows
There's just no light to see
You're not invited baby
You wouldn't understand a goddamn thing
Now it's time to tie one on
Dropping the needle on the same song
Over and over
Again and again and again and again
I'm knocking back Jack with the beast on my back
The ghosts from my past are all raising their glass
The devil told a joke and everyone laughed
And just like that
In a swirl of smoke
A whole day passed

We've been coming here forever with the devil whispering in our ears
Yeah you know him too, he introduced me to you
They say all roads lead to home but my road leads to here
It's always the same
I know you better than anyone but I don't know your name
That's ok
The dancefloor's moving you to songs we'd never listen to
If we were anywhere but here
We never say never, fall in love with whoever
What will we do when they close this place forever?
One more for the road
May you be in Heaven before the devil knows that you're dead
While you have it, use your breath, there's no drinking after your dead
May we get what we want, but never what we deserve
Another day another bender no retreat no surrender
We lift our glasses to the kingdom full of liquid courage and wisdom
The band plays our song until the lights come on
We stagger to the street holding on to hazy memories
And that's how it will end
Cuz I know I'll never see you again
Your confessions leave me 6's and 7's
If we were anywhere but here
It's all idle chatter that really don't matter
What will we do when they close this place forever?
Here's one more round
Have a drink on me
It's our last call
It's gotta be
Here's to what could've been
And what will be
