Everything Went Wrong

a 100 miles from nowhere
that's where you'll find me
short on beer and long on memories
the paint is peeling off this house
the rats are eating up this house
everyone has left this house but me
i step into the front yard
stare down the railroad tracks
i always run away
but i always come back
CHORUS:
how do you
how do you hold on
to what you haven't felt
for so long?
and i don't want
i don't wanna sing
another sad song
but don't it feel like
everything went wrong
couldn't find work
so i drank the money we didn't have
she said i was no good
i said i was just bad
she'd stay out for days
and i'd punch holes in the walls
if she was a slow fade
then i was a long fall
screaming in the backyard
at myself and at the moon
why did heaven turn
into hell
at full bloom?
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
i have walked through the fire
and i still feel the burn
i have struggled with desire
yeah some folks never learn
a 100 miles from nowhere
that's where you'll find me
lost in the desert
and drowning in your sea
our daughter would've been
five around now
i can still see her walking
through this house somehow
so i step into the front yard
fall down into the dirt
it's scary how much pain
your own hands are worth
CHORUS

Pull The Trigger
03:14

i robbed my first bank
when i was 13 years old
with a sawed-off shotgun
rode my skateboard back home
i had my first whiskey
when i was only six
there ain't nothing in this whole world
that that bottle can not fix
CHORUS:
well i used to pull the trigger
now i drive the getaway car
i used to be romantic
but now i
just break
hearts
i hopped my first boxcar
at the tender age of eight
fell in love a 100 times
each time a mistake
i kicked my first habit
when i was only two
then i picked it right back up
cause there was nothing better to do
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
there was something on my mind
but i just let it go
now i think that i am fine
as long as i
as long as i
as long as i
don't
know
i broke outta prison
when i was just 15
hitchhiked all the way back home
and got kicked out on the streets
fell in lust with loving
yeah it's sad but it's true
sometimes i runaway
sometimes i just pass through
CHORUS

Enjoy The View
03:19
|
|||
|
take my heart
and do what you like
i ain't waiting on you
tonight
we bleed a little
just to play our parts
i got nothing
but it's a damn good
start
CHORUS:
hang me out to dry
and don't expect
don't expect too much this time
it's a long way down
enjoy the view
and i will stay
i will stay
strung out on you
take my mouth
i got nothing to say
my thoughts and words
always got in the way
if you are confused
and i am in doubt
we need to calm down
or at the very least walk out
CHORUS

Highway 10
03:29
|
|||
|
we drove from dallas down to new orleans
drinking whiskey and rum in the backseat
i spit like fire
and you bleed like summer
out on highway 10
we will lose each other
CHORUS:
and it's all going down
yeah i do believe this'll be a night
that i'll want to forget
and it's all going down
yeah we're always on our way
but we ain't got there
yet
there on the gulf shores
we fell apart
the darkness stole away
what was left of your heart
you had your pills
and i had your ghost
but we could never kill the past
we were never even close
CHORUS
down in new orleans
i heard the song
that you had been
singing all along
we had no reasons
just a mutual disease
i will always love you
and that's why
i had to leave
CHORUS
CHORUS

Something Sweet
02:55
|
|||
|
i started to write you a poem
it ended up like this
a map to the stars between us
a declaration of why we exist
yeah i put my pen to that paper
like you put your eyes to my lips
and i dressed you up in sunsets
and dreamed you like a sunflower kiss
then the birds in the fields started singing
as your freckles fell into bloom
your smile did the math on my future
and it all added up to you
as i cruised my way through the cosmos
i found you in every star
i watered the plants in your garden
so maybe i could grow inside your heart
of pure gold and hot nervous teasing
the geography of your hips
i started to write you a poem
and it ended up like this
so maybe i could grow inside your heart

mary says we never walk
down train tracks anymore
and i say my backs been killing me
from sleeping on the floor
mary used to stay awake all the time
but now she sleeps all day
CHORUS:
oh mary i know that we're lost
but i'm still looking for the way
though we lose a little bit
of ourselves
each and every single day
oh mary, mary we're lost
but i'm still looking for the way
i remember violet getting violent
with the both of us
yeah that tree's still there
where she cut off all her hair
and we lost her trust
when my mind pictures her now
i never really know what to say
CHORUS
let's take the crossroads
till all the crossroads get crossed
i know when you look at me
all you see is everything we've lost
if they ever come back
won't you tell em that i just couldn't stay
CHORUS

Sarah Had A Sister
03:26

CHORUS:
sarah had a sister
who said she was a prophet
sometimes i miss her
and i can't even stop it
sarah had a sister
but i don't see her no more
i think of her in the backyard
when i can't even find
the front door
can't even find
the front door
so i head downtown
take a look at what's not around
if i get lucky i'll dream of you tonight
i'll have a beer or two
maybe ten or eight'll do
i'm gonna close my eyes
and see what i can find
CHORUS
so i'll get lost
it never comes at any cost
except of course
for all that time
and yeah it's true
that being lost
is how i met you
and this whole town
feels like a graveyard
tonight
CHORUS

Wildflowers
03:42

down in the wildflowers
i was there
drinking all the wine
and dreaming of your hair
sally says "hey won't ya come inside."
i said "being out here's the only way i'll survive."
your mama married young
and you did the same
too much loneliness'll drive you insane
your papa walked out when you was 13
saying life can make you sweet
or life can make ya mean
CHORUS:
but it ain't really life
that does it to you
it's the way you respond
and the things that ya do
down in the wildflowers
i was there
drinking all the wine
and dreaming of your hair
down in the wildflowers
i was there
drinking all the wine
and dreaming of your hair
sally turn the music up
and i'll sing all night
i know about what's wrong
you know about what's right
but we never really could get on the same page
and you moved to houston on that midnight train
i got a job and started to work
thought about life till it started to hurt
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
when i get drunk i close my eyes
and dream that i've died
when you disappeared on me
it ain't hard to see
there's a scar where you used to be
down in the wildflowers i was there
drinking all the wine and dreaming of your hair
sally's so pretty
it soothes my soul
but every sunset
makes me wanna go
down to houston where i think you are
fading away and burring in my heart
if i ever see you i'd sing ya this song
all about our lives and how they went wrong
CHORUS
