Verse 1 I get high, I get low All this pain, does it show? I got a bottle of rum making me numb And I know how to get by The thick of the fog and the hair of the dog And I don’t even know why I get high, I get low All this pain, does it show? I got a bottle of crown, spinning around And I just wanna hold on Slowin’ me down, going to town I’ll be running til dawn Chorus So close the door And Leave the World Behind So close the door And Leave the World Behind Verse 2 I get high, I get low All this pain, does it show? I’ve got a bottle of rum making me numb And I know how to get by The thick of the fog and the hair of the dog And I don’t even know why Chorus So close the door And Leave the World Behind So close the door And Leave the World Behind So close the door And Leave the World Behind Bridge Well you’re bringing the rain, almost every day As I’m closing my eyes, You whisper in my ear you’re here to stay So why you got to go and take my sunshine So why you got to go and take my sunshine away? You’ve been holdin’ my hand for far too long, Your lips so sweet to taste I’ll kiss you in the morning, but tonight I lay to waste. Verse 3 I get high, I get low All this pain, does it show? I got a bottle of rum making me numb And I know how to get by The thick of the fog and the hair of the dog And I don’t even know why Chorus So close the door And Leave the World Behind So close the door And Leave the World Behind So close the door And Leave the World Behind

Broken Path 04:14
lyrics

Verse 1 Small town lover better change your ways Back pack ready and I count the days, oh lord how I count the days Lets get this he said she said bullshit clear Running low on crazy well you can find some here, Lord know that you can find some here You get your intuition from your alibis, And do you bury your conscience where you bury you lies? The winds of change are blowing cold And seemingly, it blows around Uncovering what I have found Your shallow grave has been exposed (Chorus) Winds of change, carry me home This broken path it never ends, This broken path I take, I take it when I run away Until these feelings are gone Verse 2: Ignorance don’t fly ‘round here, So save up all your tears I washing my hands I’m gonna put you away Girl you belong in yesterday And seemingly, it blows around Uncovering what I have found Your shallow grave has been exposed (Chorus) (Chorus)

Homeless Soldier 05:09

Verse 1 Well it didn’t take long, to understand The way things were and the way it all began Well these streets are cold, and so full a shame With your sanity lost now tell me who’s to blame Chorus You see your shadow and you have no light And when you have no money well you have no right Your two cents you would spend You’re waiting for your streak of bad luck to end Homeless soldier, you came home the world got colder Your friends all died but you grew older You’ll never be the same All the memories All your shattered dreams They’ll be waiting here Waiting here for you Verse 2 With your beat up sign, and your cup of change The people walking by looking down on that man deranged Well there’s a tear in his eye, that you can barely see It’s coming from that man, that man he used to be (Chorus) Homeless soldier, you came home the world got colder Your friends all died but you grew older You’ll never be the same All the memories All your shattered dreams They’ll be waiting here Waiting here for you All the memories All your shattered dreams They’ll be waiting here Waiting here for you

Verse 1 Well I ain’t got no reason, I ain’t got no rhyme Just sitting here in prison and I’m just doin all my time See I know how I got here, just don’t know why I seem to remember, I had to watch my brother die He was 25 years old when that state trooper took his soul But what that trooper didn’t know Is that he just shot Billy Joe Chorus You won’t live your life in vein A life that caused you so much pain Your brother has some blood to drain And I’ll be on that midnight train yea Verse 2 You know when Billy Joe was born you know his momma had to go You know his momma had go because little Billy Jo was slow You know his daddy was there, but no he wasn’t around He just held on to that bottle after my momma left town Well there comes a time in a boy’s life when you’ve gotta grow up fast If I don’t raise ol’ Billy by myself, he’ll surely never last (Chorus) One day ol’ Billy rode into town in the back of my truck Even though he wouldn’t hurt soul, well he didn’t have much luck We were all on highway 45 somewhere near the state line By the time they pulled us over They’ve made up their minds (Chorus)

Verse 1 Well you say you have your reason’s, feel free to call them lies Well you burned another bridge before you finished your disguise You gave up on your dreams and now you’re looking for a ride The only time you call is when you need a place you to hide Chorus The world has sunk its teeth in you You found that God you never knew You thought your friends would follow you Well open up your eyes Well open up your eyes Ya, open up your eyes Verse 2 You say you need a place to crash, above the smoke beneath the ash The memories you try to mask, you know there here to stay Now you’re someone I don’t recognize, surround yourself with alibies Where’s that boy I know so well, your love is strong but trapped in hell (Chorus) (Chorus) Your world has sunk its teeth in you You found that God you never knew You thought your friends would follow you Well open up your eyes Ya, open up your eyes Ya, open up your eyes Open up your eyes Well open up your eyes.

Verse 1 Well, I saw your eyes, from across the room And there’s no doubt, I was coming for you Because I like the way you move, I like the way you groove You dirty little girl, I’ve been waiting for you Chorus Well I’ve been waiting For so long, because you’re so wrong Yea, I’ve been waiting for so long Because you’re so wrong Verse 2 I need a girl, how knows how to play I’m tired of these Betties, ain’t got nothing to say Because I need a conversation, I want to look inside your soul I want to be the one who loves you, baby let’s take a stroll (Chorus) Bridge You’re like a clear blue sky when it calls for rain You’re an angel that sings the blues You’re a weekend in Las Vegas When there’s nothing left to lose You’re like a tall cool glass of water I’ve been waiting on down in hell You’re like a cool breeze in the summer But you’re the one that don’t reach my sail (Chorus)

Verse 1 Walk out of that door ain’t no turning back A baby in the room, but you don’t care about that No you don’t care about that You’re living in a world it’s a candy store You come home late at night, you stumble through that door Through that door Chorus It looks like we’re through, there’s nothing left to lose Feeling alone, a house don’t make a home And if the bow breaks A cradle will fall, my little girl Trust me my conscience Has paid for it all Verse 2 Well I remember that day because it served me well Pulled over to the side of the road I felt like hell Yea, I felt like hell With the weight of this world coming down on me Too young to fall in love and to this day it’s haunting me It’s haunting me (Chorus) Bridge And if someday the sun don’t shine Just know I am your friend And when your sky is falling down You fall until the end Through all these years that I’ve been gone, there hasn’t been a day I don’t wish I could go back in time And wash it all away (Chorus)

Verse 1 Well I came into this world, all here by myself Ain’t got time for you, ain’t got time for no one else My soul is up for sale Oh yeah, soul is up for sale Verse 2 Well this ice is getting thin, where to I begin Toes are getting cold, got no plans for growin’ old Chorus My soul is up for sale Oh yeah, soul is up for sale My soul is up for sale Oh yeah, soul is up for sale Verse 3 Looking back before I’m gone I see so clear what I’ve done wrong, what I’ve done wrong They say one day I’ll be set free, Well hallowed ground it waits for me, it waits for me Will my stone be chiseled proud? And will my passing draw a crowd? And will they come? Well day has come and I have passed Some memories fade but some will last I hope someday you’ll understand My wings were broke so I had to land Well I know, I know Let the rhythm take your soul Well I know, I know Let the rhythm take your soul Verse 3 Well this ice is getting thin, where to I begin Toes are getting cold, got no plans for growin’ old Ch 3: My soul is up for sale Oh yeah, soul is up for sale My soul is up for sale Oh yeah, soul is up for sale

Verse 1 Well you’re leaving me now And I feel so betrayed Because I can’t sleep at night And I know you can play Well what comes around goes around is coming for you Chorus You’ve taken my love, and you’ve thrown it away You’re no good for my heart Can’t you tell by the fray it goes on every day It goes on--and, on--and, on--and, on It goes on--and, on--and, on--and, on Verse 2 You’re crushing my soul No it doesn’t seem just Well ashes to ashes yea, dust to dust Looking right through your eyes, who can I trust? What comes around goes around is coming for you (Chorus) It goes on--and, on--and, on--and, on It goes on--and, on--and, on--and, on It goes on, it goes on It goes on it goes on it goes on it goes on It goes on--and, on--and, on--and, on

Forever Blind 05:00
lyrics

Verse 1 Locked away, inside this guilty heart It seems that I’ve betrayed you from the start And you should know, if we intend to grow Then there will come a time when we must part Chorus And I’m on my way again On this lonely, lonely road Sometimes you need a friend To help you see the bitter end Help you walk away Because deep down I want to stay girl And there were times that we both cried, and there were times I can’t deny But when I looked in your eyes, you made everything alright Well there’s feelings that have died, and these feelings I can’t hide At the end of the day, just know I enjoyed that ride Chorus Lost in my reality, a love forever blind Shouldn’t have to work this hard it’s like we’re doing time And time ain’t on our side no more it’s time we realized If only we were strong enough to open up the door The doors of my reality, lets see what’s in store You don’t have any left inside and I can’t take no more No more----I can’t take no more No more----I can’t take no more Haunted by what could have been The thought of losing my best friend I tried to read between the lines And now I am forever blind No more----I can’t take no more No more----No I can’t take no more No more----No I can’t take no more No more----No I can’t take no more No more---no more----
