Straight Crazy

Girl I’m hearing all the things you say to me
Your words are hanging heavy like fruit on a ripened Tree
I could reach up and take them, but there is something in your eyes
I don’t know what it is, but I don’t like surprises.
Cause your eyes tell me you are crazy
The windows to your soul tell me all I need to know
Cause your straight crazy, yea your crazy about me.
I’ve lived my life with a certain scrutiny,
That’s got me believing there are secrets that you keep
Perhaps its just the paranoia in me
But for now I’ll sleep with one eye open when your beneath the sheets
Cause your eyes tell me you are crazy
The windows to your soul tell me all I need to know
Cause your straight crazy, yea your crazy about me.
Cause your eyes tell me you are crazy
The windows to your soul tell me all I need to know
Cause your straight crazy, yea your crazy about me.
Your eyes they tell me, that your straight crazy
I don’t want it to be true, but honey let me tell you
Your crazy, straight crazy, about me.

Quarter Past Four

The train comes in at 4:15
I'll be stepping off and scowling mean
Lookin' to rid the world of a villainous fiend
He'll look up and squint his eyes
Calmly suppressing his look of surprise
But he'd better hurry if he wants to say his goodbyes
The vultures fly circles, to see whats in store
As the time ticks down to a quarter past four
so board up your windows and lock up your doors
Because today's the day, I'm going to even the score
First time in Abilene
Playing cards and playing clean
a fight breaks out and gunshots break up the scene
I was armed, but never drew
the sherriff's son, his aim was true
He and his friends said "Stranger we are framing you."
The vultures fly circles, to see whats in store
As the time ticks down to a quarter past four
so board up your windows and lock up your doors
Because today's the day, I'm going to even the score
The sent me off serving 25 to life
I broke out and revenge will soon be mine
The vultures fly circles, to see whats in store
As the time ticks down to a quarter past four
so board up your windows and lock up your doors
Because today's the day
oh today's the day
I'm going to even the score

Jezebel

A fistful of dollars, and I still came up short
Tried to play our game, but I ended up hurt
I played it by the numbers, but in the end I learned
You can never trust a pretty face till the last card is turned
Well I knew you were a temptress when we started way back then
But a woman’s whispers can erase the minds of men
When you had enough of my heart, you went and ripped it from my chest
Sometimes a book judged by its cover, is a book judged by its best
Go on, keep the pieces, of my broken heart
I don’t think that I’m ever going to need it
Not in a world this dark
What, you said you’re sorry, heard it all before
Now it wont clean the bloodstains from my knuckles on the door
Don’t think you’ll catch me crying, find me laying on the floor
Because jezebel got her justice girl,
Then I’m sure you’ll get yours, I’ll swear you’ll get yours
Go on, keep the pieces, of my broken heart
I don’t think that I’m ever going to need it
Not in a world this dark
Don’t know where I’m going, I just know I can’t go home
Photographs and memories that are laughing cause they know
I thought we had a love that lasts, it was a picture-perfect kind
But it was nothing but a fairy tail made up in my mind
Go on, keep the pieces, of my broken heart
I don’t think that I’m ever going to need it
Not in a world this dark

Anywhere but Here

The songs in my head they always seemed to be so sentimental
And hear in my heart they always echoed out so clear
But, as I hear them out loud, all the harmonies just seem to jumble
the parts I thought soundest best, now seem to sound so insincere
I wasted no time, I thumbed a ride, with a stranger
I said, Take me anywhere but here
Every chord I play just sounds a bit diminished
the dissonance plagues me and the stanzas lay unfinished
Still I sing along, but all my words lack innovation,
So I’m hitting the open road in hope of motivation
I wasted no time, I thumbed a ride with a stranger
I said, Take me anywhere but here
Some people think, they are always on the brink of something
Better than, what they ever had before
Me I'm the same, I'm a hopeless romantic that way
because it seems that this town is keeping me down,
and I can’t stick around one more day
So I’ll be on my way
I wasted no time, I thumbed a ride with a stranger
I said, Take me anywhere but here
