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 02:47
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 chorus
3.
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
4.
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
5.
Hey Honey 02:18
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 chorus
6.
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
7.
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

In Disguise 02:34
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 03:01
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
10.
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
11.
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
12.
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
