Dark Country Road
It’s just a dark country road
Thursday 7 o’clock
Where am I gonna go
On this Dark country road
This is my 3rd town today
It might help if it weren’t drowned by rain
oh where am I gonna go
On this dark country road
and I got a heavy foot
ain’t no telling where I’ll jook
cuz behind this wheel I’m free
just an agent working for me
chorus
If I stop it’s the same ol
So I’ll entertain this dark country road
There ain’t no one around
unless with blood I am bound
It’s just a dark country road
though a lil country town
chorus
I was once told to be afraid
I’ll take my chances anyway
On this dark country road

Taxidermy
They got straight to the point and moved me to the morgue
down from the autopsy on the 2nd floor
They called in a specialist named Jonathan Wright
Figured if he couldn’t do it I’d be put out of sight
chorus-
Let's Bring it back to life,
What you threw away will win first prize,
lil touch here, lil tender lovin care,
Sure ain't no Frankenstein,
It's the best brought out in the light, It's the best brought out in the light.
That table was cold but the lights were bright
warmed the ol heart on the coldest night
My hair felt shiny and my skin squeaky clean
Guess I just needed the dirt off of me
chorus
They pulled off the sheet and boy they were surprised
That dull ol penny Now put out their eye
chorus
first verse

Tiger of a Tale
On that foggy foggy night
All I saw was those headlights turning down that long twisted drive
All that I can recall is you saying you don’t love me at all
and that you’re better off with a monkey on your back
I didn’t cry
I don’t try
cuz I’m better off with a Tiger of a Tale
There was one memory sweeter than my sweetest tea
That was those headlights through the fog
Tell me now
How does your ship sail with a big ol hole in it’s side
Oh I like the mornin dew
but the night whispers through
those ol cobwebs in my mind
I can be a s stubborn as they come
but at the end of the day
I’m just a Woman who likes to get things done
On that foggy foggy night
All I saw was those headlights turning out that long twisted drive

Painted Words
And words were painted so effortlessly chorus
You made it look so easy
A classy activity
You looked so happy
When You were killin me
So I left my body
I didn’t like it
I felt naked
like that one time
with the rusty knife pressed to my lips
It was a foreign taste
but on the other hand
I felt human
Oh dangerously so
You pulled out all the stops
but you stopped on go
chorus
Your lines
They drive me crazy
I get all spacey
lose track of time and my mind it gets all hazy
But you look so happy when you were killin me
chorus

Hey Honey
Hey Honey (chorus)
go ahead and drink that milk
it said it expired 4 days ago
you say we got 7 so that’s 3 mo
By the time it’s nice n sour
I’ll make corn bread and burn those pics in the fire
don’t start that fussin and all that cussin
don’t you dare hang up on me
oh that’ll be the last you see
chorus
If I wanted to poison you I’d pick another way
I had a big ol gulp just yesterday
If I wanted to poison you I’d find another way

Winter in the sticks
chorus
Oh the woods they talk about Winter time’
it’s cold and damp and things go blind
by the time
the colors come around
this ol lake will surely drown
limbs are fragile you can hear them snap
wild go hungry and get caught in a trap
there’s a cabin few trees up
enough smoke to share a puff
you’ll hear hollering and shots to the lead the way
They called him Ol Man Jack
and in these woods he answers back
as long as the colors aren’t around
for only then you’ll find him face down
chorus
But as far as this show goes the moon she knows
Winter Blues ain’t got nothin but her and fire
and by the time the colors come around
All the while claimin their ground
It’s a nice warm sunny day
all the children go out and play
but not till midnight will you hear their laughter
chorus

Poor Mississippi
Poor Mississippi it’s too sweet standing next to Louisiana
got them dirty ol boys draggin their feet
Be it in the blood
them veins caked with mud
ohhhhh it runs deep (don’t skip the ol sip Mississippi)
If I could crack my whip and write my name
in the dirt of families graves
Poor Mississippi it’s too sweet standing next to Louisiana
well texas you’re a different breed
I won’t take your name
for my heart it bleeds
oh texas your too big for your britches
don’t get me wrong
i like your songs
I like your geography just keep that distance from me
well texas you’re a different breed
Hey Alabama
known you my whole life
you’re part the reason why I’m alive
Alabama known you my whole life
You see I’m a florida gal
with roots that run all thru the south
give me good drink give me good eats
give me good ol people them the kind I like to meet

Devil In Disguise
Sometimes a devil is just an angel in disguise
Sometimes it's better said
Than trying to hide
Don't turn your cheek lookin for the purtier side
Sometimes a devil is just an angel in disguise
Sometimes a demon is just a blessing in disguise
There's a reason behind those silver tongued lies
Sure don't see it now but one day I might
Sometimes a demon is just a blessing in disguise
Sometimes that black hole is just a cloud in the sky
It may come a rain
It may come a shine
It may sit for awhile
Before it makes up it's mind
Sometimes that black hole is just a cloud in the sky
Sometimes an angel is just a devil in disguise
Don't jump too quick
Think about the ride
It's a long way down
With no wings to glide
Sometimes an angel is just a devil in disguise
Sometimes the right thing turns out wrong in the end
Sometimes a gift is a curse and the curse is your friend
Sometimes bad timin is all you've got
Sometimes the wrong thing is the right in the end
Sometimes a devil is just an angel in disguise
Sometimes it's better said
Than trying to hide
Don't turn your cheek lookin for the purtier side
Sometimes a devil is just an angel in disguise

Crossfire
They call it cross fire and oh I got caught
with tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat
I thought surely somethin would have been said
but nope
just me hanging off the other end of this rope
one day will i ever forgive
the things you didn’t say and those I feared
oh one day
will your eyes be too close
so I’ll feel what it’s like to knowwwwww
and I hear you breathing heavy
wouldn’t it be nice to let go
oh wouldn’t it be nice to let your soul know
that it’s the arrow and you are the
chorus
and oh I’d be lying
if I told you I was fine
but the way things ended
really screwed with my mind
they say silence is golden
but with us it killed
an entire state and left giant shoes to fill
if memory serves me right
and I know it will
amuse me is what it says
and that you do well
chorus

Memory it bleeds
02:25

I’m not the kind
to let it slip from my mind
I’m not the one
just out for fun
oh can’t you seeeeeeee
there’s more I neeeeed
I’m like a sponge
wanting more water than sun
50 puzzles all with missin pieces
when you put em all together
it makes 1 3d
My memory it bleeds
colors and forms
hope you liked that outfit
I’ll know when it was worn
hope you don’t mind those words
for into head they’ve burned
a thousand tiny shards
of you into me
everyone i know
everything i see
I’ll float down the river
I used to jump from that rock
I’ll make you breakfast
I used to knock
now I just say I’m on my way
I don’t recall if that was tomorrow or yesterday

Let me lay down
When I lay down at night
I don’t know where I am
I know the road’s been long
saw them headlights through the fog
When I lay down at night
I let my mind wander
Oh it can turn on a dime
when I lay down at night
When I lay down at night
I try to forget,
those wrongs and those rights
sweet nothings and big bad lies
When I lay down at night
smoke fills the room
When I lay down at night
I’ve got you on my mind
When I lay down at night
fade into visions and dreams
When I lay down at night
I become the person I’m suppose to be
When I lay down at night
I’m just me
When I lay down at night
I’ll wake up wanting coffee
When I lay down at night
I don’t know where I am
I know the road’s been long
saw them headlights through the fog
When I lay down at night
let me lay down tonight
let me lay down
let me lay down
let me lay down

Moonshine lullabies

Moonshine Lullabies
moonshine lullabies under a starry sky
the smell of sweat and a day gone by
the calming sound of crickets and achy joints of pain
when the mind is quiet enough to hear the rain
when it is free to dream
and free to scream
oh can you tell me
finer things
Like a fish out a water
flappin about
or a bird with a broken wing
oh can you tell me
finer things
chorus
Had a lovely walk
stepped in shit
tI can’t complain
chorus
my belly is full
i have a place to sleep
I can’t complain
oh can you tell me finer things
chorus
