Ryan Bingham

When I die Lord won't you put my soul up on a train
Won't you send it southbound
Give it a cool blues-man name
I've been lost on them back roads so many times, I've gone blind
Losing faith in my family had driven me out of my damn mind

But on the south side of heaven won't you take me home
Cause I've been broke down for so long and Lord, it's getting cold

I've been a desperado in West Texas for so long Lord, I need a change
For ten long years this old place ain't seen a drop of rain
And that wind blows everyday Lord, all like a desert snow
Like a lost bound train running on cocaine and outta control

But on the south side of heaven won't you take me home
Cause I've been broke down for so long and Lord, it's getting cold

Long down the Louisiana byways
Lonesome highways roll on
Won't you take me where the poor man lives
Its where I call my home
And can't you see that a breeze, nothin' but a change in pace
Money can't buy my soul, cause it comes from a hard earned place

But on the south side of heaven won't you take me home
Cause I've been broke down for so long and Lord, it's getting cold

Every time I turn around
A man tries to get me down
I just can't see your face
I'm blinded by the sun
Living on the run
And I can't remember this place

Take me to the other side
Let me go when I'm high
Take me to the other side, pretty mama
And on the wind won't you let me ride

I better slow down before I wreck
Driving on the river's edge
My momma says, "Come back home."
But I can't keep em running fast
Burning up the year's grass
Another sands dirt road

Won't you take me to the other side
Let me go when I'm high
Won't you take me to the other side, pretty mama
And on the wind won't you let me ride

Cowboy's your given name
Nothing ever stays the same
'Cept the rain falling down
You can't keep from goin'
No the wind is always damn cold
It's time to put the hammer down

Won't you take me to the other side
Let me go when I'm high
Won't you take me to the other side, pretty mama
And on the wind won't you let me ride

Won't you take me to the other side
On the wind won't you let me ride
Won't you take me to the other side, pretty mama
And on the wind won't you let me ride

I've lived without bread and I've lived without water,
Stuck outside the middle of the desert wishin' I was home.
Long way from no where, wishin' I was somewhere,
Sangre de Cristo to the Devils Backbone.

I've been to California and North Carolina,
Hung with the hippies in Austin and the cowboys of Mexico.
I've laid up in Fort Worth with beautiful ladies,
Hitch hiked on down to Tijuana and hit the rodeo in San Anton...

In the back of a Ranchero, I rode down to Laredo,
Had a good time with the la posada, yea you know I was left alone.
On a rig out of El Paso, rainin' down in Houston,
Told the truck driver put the pedal to the metal cause Houston gets me down.
On down to Louisiana, Whiskey River Landing,
Crawfish pie and eat jambalaya with a big ole coon ass smile.

Don't you wait for me
'Cause I'll be running late
Don't you wait for me
By the flowers upon my grave
Don't you wait for me
I won't be coming home
Don't you wait for me
Unplug the telephone

'Cause I'm wild running through the hills
And my eyes are wondering how you feel
And the miles upon miles keep falling from the sky
Don't you wait for me
When the flowers die

Don't you wait for me
I have many miles to go
Don't you wait for me
I have nothing left to show
Don't you wait for me
Wonderin' what is wrong
Don't you wait for me
I'll catch you in the break of dawn

'Cause I'm wild running through the hills
And my eyes are wondering how you feel
And the miles upon miles keep falling from the sky
Don't you wait for me
When the flowers die

Don't you wait for me
Sleepin' in the summer sun
Don't you wait for me
With my pillow lies my gun
Don't you wait for me
I'm gonna finish last
Don't you wait for me
I'm mending fences of my past

'Cause I'm wild running through the hills
And my eyes are wondering how you feel
And the miles upon miles keep falling from the sky
Don't you wait for me
When the flowers die

Don't you wait for me
When the flowers die

Onda Cielo y toca la sierra
Trabajando amigos acsentado le piedra
Vaqueros montamos, Caballos boracho
Esperando acsente del sol
Palo en Mexico

Buzzards they circle old crosses on hills
The heart of the desert pound under my heels
I hear tell of Aztec gold, buried in the hills of old Mexico

Onda Cielo y toca la sierra
Trabajando amigos acsentado le piedra
Vaqueros montamos, Caballos boracho
Esperando acsente del sol

Well sunshine
Fall on me
Won't you tell me
When the hour is late
Tell them old crows
Want to fly away
Tell the darkness
That you ain't no slave
Well sunshine

Won't you follow me
Through the night
Won't you guide me
When we go by
Says trouble
Along the road ahead
Some lawmen
Really want me dead
Well sunshine

Ain't done nothing
Is what I told that man
Said I ain't done nothing
With these two hands
See there ain't no blood
Ain't no blood on my hands
Stains to come
Made the government mad
Well sunshine

Well sunshine
Follow me
Won't you guide me
Till I can see
Tell them old crows
Want to fly away
Tell the darkness

When I was young my daddy said, Son
Never be ashamed of where your from
There's nothin wrong with your last name
Don't be lookin for people to blame

Cause hard times they come and they go
Most of the time they're in the middle of the road
It's the same pain in different ways
Don't your know, Son, when it pours it rains

Chorus

Hard times
In the middle of your road
Hard times
Creepin up on the good folks you know
Hard times
You daddy wakes up and you lit the stove
Hard times
From the California hills to the Coverdale Road

You got yours and I have mine
Mostly good folks have tried and tried
To make a livin on your minimum wage
Your coming up short nearly every day

And what's enough and what's the cost
You can't stand up cause all is lost
You roll us up and your doors are locked
There's a poor boy livin on every block

Chorus

Hard times
In the middle of your road
Hard times
Creepin up on the good folks you know
Hard times
You're livin down the rest of you knows
Hard times
From the California hills to the Coverdale Road

When I was young my daddy said, Son
Never be ashamed of where your from
There's nothin wrong with your last name
So don't be lookin for people to blame

Cause hard times they come and they go
And most of the time they're in the middle of your road
It's the same pain, different way
Don't your know when it pours it rains

And it'll always be around
Followin you from town to town
But you can get up when it puts you down
Cause everybody's got 'em if you look around

Chorus

Hard times
In the middle of your road
Hard times
Creepin up on the good folks you know
Hard times
Huddled around a wood burnin stove
Hard times

Well I've been workin in the goddamn sun
With just for a dollar a day
Been workin for a dollar a day
I've been workin for a dollar a day

Man I never understand why all my money
Goes down to man at the bank
And all he does is sit and think
About the money that I'm gonna make

And all of my brothers well their jumpin on planes
And they going off fighting in wars
They are lowered on a desert shore
Fighting for my freedom and a little bit of oh

Man it sure does cost well a whole lot of money
Well to live in the land of the free
Well I think I'll go and plant me a seed
Grow a marijuana money tree

Well then I'm gonna head down to south louisiana
With a guitar on my back
Corn bread and a gunny sack
Maybe uncle sam'll cut me some slack

I've been digging in the rock since five o'clock
And my calluses is cut to the bone
Well the soles in my shoes is worn
Cuz I've been diggin in the rocks since dawn

Well I've been workin in the goddamn sun
With just for a dollar a day
I've been workin for a dollar a day

Take it easy mama
Lay your head down
Hold on to my lovin
We're both gonna need it now
Take it easy mama
Lay your head down
Rest your head on my shoulder
It's a long way into town

It's hard
When you're alone
It's hard
When everybodys free

Take it easy mama
Lay your head down
Hold on to my lovin
We're both gonna need it now
Take it easy mama
Lend me your smile
Let your falling head come down
Ground me with your smile

It's hard
When you're alone
It's hard
When everybodys free
It's hard
When you're alone
It's hard
When everybodys stoned

Take it easy mama
Lay your head down
Let your falling head come down
Ground me with your smile
Take it easy mama
Lay your head down
Hold on to my lovin
We're both gonna need it now

Oh sittin' in a truck stop
With my Cowboy Boots and my Guitar
I've been livin' on a tip box
It was meant for cigars

Long Way From Georgia
Long Way From Georgia

Oh I'm out on the highway Yeah Yeah
I have no regrets
'Cause I'm livin' my way
Long coffee and cigarettes

Long Way From Georgia
Long Way From Georgia

Oh wind this highway is my poem
Oh through the night I ride on
I just keep on rollin' on
'Cause I'm a long way from home

Long Way From Georgia
Long Way From Georgia

Oh sittin' in a truck stop
And a waitress tells me
Ah boy you got a good smile
Might take you a long way
Say boy you better make it count
'Cause you're a long way from Georgia

If you ever see me walking down the side of the road
Would you ever stop and wonder why
Would you think it's lost that I paid the cost
Stop and give a poor boy a ride
And forget my past

'Cause if I ever get home, I'm never gonna worry 'bout the things that I could've done
'Cause I've done a lot of things I could've done better
But now it don't matter none

I've raised my glass

'Cause I fell in love and then lost touch
I dropped it and broke her heart
I drove off a cliff
And I barely missed
Walkin' with her in the park

Just a selfish boy

But I have not forgot that the food in the pot ain't cookin' for a boy like me
I been fightin' all night with the dogs in the alley, looking for a bone to eat
Starving to death

Everybody's troubled with your hustle and your bustle
The payment on the house is late
If I ever have a problem like that
I guess I'll be in pretty good shape

You can kiss my ass goodbye

When I feel the wind blow
See a ghost in the road
And headlights are a beautiful sight

And out in the desert
I can sit under them heavens
And watch the sun keep settin' for miles

And here comes another song

Then I take a pen and a little piece of paper
I scribble on down the lines
And what you're hearing now
Is something I found
Hidin' way down inside

The cellar of my heart

And I hope everybody had a real good time
I hope I didn't bring you down
These ain't sad songs
So don't take 'em wrong
I haven't been home in a while

Well, I'll see you all around

Here I go again
Straight up out the motel
Hock my guitar out of a pawn shop jail
If I quit, I'm just rolling the dice
Couldn't pass up the red beans and rice
Singing

Chorus:
Oh, my my
See them girls shake their ass
Underneath the sunrise
Oh, my my
Taste the sugar on their lips
Underneath that moonlight

Well I've never met the devil with a one-eyed dog
You can lead a blind man out of Vietnam
Everybody's beggin, everybody wants a chance
Stuck in a storm, we'll do a rain dance

Chorus

I'm taking my chances
I'm taking my sins
Throwin' 'em down the hill and i'll watch 'em come around again
Watched 'em fall, watched 'em rise up to the sky
A hundred miles an hour across the river to the other side

Chorus

For what it's worth
A nickels just a nickel son
Your pleasure becomes your pain
It's gonna hurt
Your out on the road
Your just an old horse walking alone
Shaken off the miles been rode
Pardon me
Through the valley of the shadows
Wickedness unravels

Some crooked man
Dealing cards to an honest man
Stealing up all his farming land
It's a damn shame
His oldest son is starving now
There ain't no mule to pull the plow
There ain't no rain
Cause all the crops are burning dry
Except for the tear in his mama's eye
In her eye
Everything is fine

With one touch
The water turns to rust
Tell me who is there to trust
Anymore
Your falling fast
You're just a rock in glass
Running from your shattered past

For what it's worth
Said a nickels just a nickel son
Your pleasure becomes your pain
It's gonna hurt
Your out on the road
Your just an old horse walking alone
Shaken off the miles been rode
Pardon me
Through the valley of the shadows
Wickedness unravels

With one touch
Said the water turns to rust
Tell me who is there to trust
Anymore
When your falling fast
You're just a rock in glass
Running from your shattered past
Tell me all you need
Is a guitar string and a bended knee
A country boy, that's all you need to be

Think I'm in tune
Always gotta be a fucking train

Sometimes I can't recall
What's left of me
Laughter on my back been peeled on off
And the past is always catching up with me
But I'm tired of stepping on memories and walking on
If you could only see the best in me
I wouldn't have to pick the guitar or write you a song
But you only be what you can see
And I guess the heart don't always come with the soul

I think I'll go on and call my mama
Tell her I loving you if I ever did ever drove me away
It wasn't that I didn't want to stick around
Just I couldn't find the courage in the bottom of the bottle to stay

Well around my old man cleared up
Well then tell him that everything will be okay
And even if you can't give up on the drinking
Well I guess I couldn't either and I still gonna love you anyways

Well I called my sister out in vegas
Well and tell her to roll the dice for me
And if you help me I'll help you roll you a seven
Well I hope you can buy you a pretty house out in la

This is the best in me
This is the best in me

I dont know baby where we stand
Wheres the future that we planned..so long ago
Baby i dont know

And i dont know if your my friend
Or a long lost lover coming back again.. where did ya go
I dont know

*chorus*
Think by now i would know better
I aint got a lot to show
I could write a song or i could write a letter
I could write a book about what i dont know

Watch my life fallin through the cracks
Like a long gone train it aint comin back..where did it go
Baby i dont know

*chorus*

Well my past is pretty rocky and my future aint long
Why do i think we stand a chance at all..where does the wind blow
Baby i dont know

Your heart's on the loose
You rolled them seven's with nothing lose
And this ain't no place for the weary kind

You called all your shots
Shooting 8 ball at the corner truck stop
Somehow this don't feel like home anymore

And this ain't no place for the weary kind
And this ain't no place to lose your mind
And this ain't no place to fall behind
Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try

Your body aches
Playing your guitar and sweating out the hate
The days and the nights all feel the same

Whiskey has been a thorn in your side
and it doesn't forget
the highway that calls for your heart inside

And this ain't no place for the weary kind
And this ain't no place to lose your mind
And this ain't no place to fall behind
Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try

Your lovers won't kiss
It's too damn far from your fingertips
You are the man that ruined her world

Your heart's on the loose
You rolled them seven's with nothing lose
And this ain't no place for the weary kind

And as I get long gone
Out where the wind blows
The desert sky, she flies by for miles

And as I keep walkin'
People keep a-talkin'
About things they've never seen or done

Homeless sleep in the park
Sweet hearts kiss in the dark
I myself just move on through town

Moon keeps on shinin'
And the rich keep on dinin'
And, oh, how I love the highway sun

And out to the back
The poet writes his songs in blood

Where the coyotes are callin'
Stars keep on fallin'
Your mother, she won't be around

A feather blows down the road
And the wind is cold, your wings are broke
And your heart is livin' on the run

Lonely and wasted
Her eyes replaced it
And I don't think I'll make another mile

Town to town I run
My horse ain't too drunk
The wind is singin' to the sun

And out to the back
The poet writes his songs in blood

But the jukebox is barkin'
I'm just gettin' started
I've yet to see the light of day

Senoritas lose it
To the Mariachi music
'Cause New York is too far away

And the band keeps on playin'
With beer bottles breakin'
And the barmaid, I heard she pulled the gun

Poet takes a pistol
Points it at this sister
Says, "Honey, your day is done"

And out to the back
The poet writes his song in blood
Out to the back
The poet writes his song in blood

When your world's of madness
And you're burned at both ends
Your walls are closin' in
Won't you remember?

Open up your heart
Let yourself unwind
Find peace of mind
Among the wandering

Step into the unknown
Where your path rewinds
See if you can find out
What you came here for

Roll one from the green vine
Disregard the time
Find your peace of mind
Among the wandering

Don't fear the vendors
Dreams can't be bought
As long as you don't sell
What you've been fighting for
As long as you don't sell
What you've been fighting for

If your heart's of anger
And you're helpless in the end
Won't you let your friends
Help you remember?

With every box of poison
There's a ribbon tied
Don't believe them eyes
When they deceive you

Take a look inside
If you're so inclined
Just leave some time
For the wandering
Find your peace of mind
Among the wandering

Well, I'm feelin' strange
In this town
Well, I feel deranged
As I look around

Above and below
I hear these sounds
With nowhere to go
I hit the ground

There's a strange feelin' in the air
Oppressive minds sit and stare
There's a strange feelin' in the air
Pointed fingers must beware

Tattoos and chains
Aren't welcome here
They tell me to pray
Or I'll go to hell

So rattle them bones
And cook up that spell
Turned into ghost
What's that smell?

There's a strange feelin' in the air
Stealin' minds without a care
There's a strange feelin' in the air
Telling me I must be scared

There's a strange feelin' in the air
Whispered lies and knocked wood, glass
There's a strange feelin' in the air
Pointed fingers must beware

Look at my face
It's blood and tears
A shameless disgrace
For your eyes to fear

Forget my name
I'm a-leavin' here
I'll be to blame
If I go nowhere

There's a strange feelin' in the air
Oppressive minds sit and stare
There's a strange feelin' in the air
Pointed fingers must beware

The man come to shake my hand, and rob me of my farm.
I shot 'em dead and I hung my head, and drove off his in his car.
So on the run with a smokin' gun, lookin' for the coast.
Of all the things I've had and lost, your love I miss the most.
And hell will have to pay, I went a little bit too far I'd say.
Half drunk I stumble on the whiskey from the bar.
Sleepin' on the Santa Monica pier with the junkies and the stars.
For when I woke a spanish cross, was reachin' for my hand.
Then the stranger took the place, the words I couldn't understand.

And there's nothin' but the ground, it's the only place I found.
Where I can lay my head in town.
Down on the boulevard, the sidewalk shuffles change.
Cracked out from the night before, hallucinatin' in the rain.
So borrowed me a quarter for a call to the other side.
I told God that the whole damn world was waitin' in line to die.
But not me, this time.
I left the trouble far behind.
And he tied his arm off one more time.
The man come to shake my hand, and rob me of my farm.

If I held my breath in the morning
Would I wake up for a lifetime
Lose my job in this depression
Well I don’t care cause I got your love

In this depression
All I need is you
In this depression
What is there to lose

If I held your hand in this town
They would lock me up for possession
But now there strung out on heroin
And weve gone out to California

In this depression
Breaks my heart in two
In this depression
All I need is you

I could make some friends down at the courthouse
Get bailed out and go on welfare
Id rather lay down in a pine box
Then to sell my heart to a fucking wasteland

In this depression
Its just me and you
In this depression
What are we to do
In this depression
Breaks my heart in two
In this depression
All I need is you

If I held my breath in the morning
Would I wake up in a new land
Follow you forever
Dance all night in this depression

In this depression
In this depression
In this depression
In this depression

The other day I found myself up on the corner
I thought I run into a friend of mine
Ended up that he was just a stranger
I said hello as he passed me by

But then he turned and put a gun to my head
He said, My friend I'm going to rob you blind
I said You must be down on your luck
I'm out of money and I'm all out of time

He pulled the trigger and I fell to my knees
My spirit left and then my body went cold
I'm looking down upon the lights of the city
I feel alive, but I'm dead and gone

Ain't no more walking down the side of the road
Ain't no more sleeping on the edge of a frown
Ain't no more favors from someone I don't know
cause there ain't nobody hear me, there ain't nobody around

Hallelujah, coming home
Hallelujah, he's dead and gone
Hallelujah, somethings wrong
Hallelujah

So tell me now if your singing can bring me
Another day with my feet on the ground
I miss living and living misses me
I miss it so much that im holding me down

For all the things that I never could change
For all the reasons that I never understood why

I feel alone, baby
I'm dead and gone, baby
There's somethings wrong
cause you know I still feel alive

My train is rolling down the line
And I'm waiting till it to bring me a dream
For holding you up in my eyes
Oh feel my love, honey
From up above, honey
Oh don't give up on me cause im coming down

I'm not a one nighter
I'm not a flat liner
I've everything in between the harmony you're singing loud

Hallelujah, coming home
Hallelujah, it's dead and gone
Hallelujah, somethings wrong
Hallelujah, it's just a song

The other day I found myself up on the corner
I thought I run into a friend of mine

Well, I shook the hand of a weeping sparrow
And heard the most beautiful tune
Laid myself down upon a field of flowers
And searched through my dreams to find you
And lost all of yesterday's blues

And I walked in circles confused and scattered
And stumbled around as a fool
Lost in the maze of veins in my heart
'Til I woke up unconscious with you
And let go of yesterday's blues

'Cause you have a way that lets me breathe
And you have a way that sets me free
And you have a heart that can see right through
The bitterness of my yesterday's blues

Down in a city of shelters and shambles
I thought I had nothing to lose
I took for granted the wise words of strangers
And gambled until I was through
And lost all of yesterday's blues

'Cause you have a way that sets me free
And you have a way that lets me breathe
And you have a heart that can see right through
The bitterness of my yesterday's blues

Well, I shook the hand of the deepest sorrow
And waved a goodbye just to lose
Laid myself down below the endless towers
And searched through my dreams to find you
And lost all of yesterday's blues

There's just no time for the agenda
The lame and fickle feuds
No time for all these bribes that keep
A poor man sewin' shoes
In a box

There's just no time for propaganda
Or media filled with hate
No time for scripted messages
That slither around like snakes
In your brain

When people all around
Are startin' to begin
To understand that here and now
Is what we're livin' in

Yesterday is gone
So that a new day can begin
And it seems there's been
A change of direction
In the wind

There's just no time for talkin' prejudice
Of different colored fellows
No time for cruel harassment
Of the strippers in stilettos
On the boulevard

There's just no time for these traditions
Tyin' people down to class
When everyone's a shade of green
That suffers in the grass
Of greed

When people all around
Are startin' to begin
To understand that here and now
Is what we're livin' in

Yesterday is gone
So that a new day can begin
And it seems there's been
A change of direction
In the wind

There's just no time for the delusion
No use for stealin' dreams
No time for the intentions
When you say let freedom rin'
On foreign land

There's just no time for the reflection
Without recognizin' crimes
No time for all the rules that limit
Human equal rights
To this day

When people all around
Are startin' to begin
To understand that here and now
Can be powered by the wind

Yesterday is gone
So that a new day can begin
And it seems there's been
A change of direction
In the wind

No time for all these factories
Of guilt and all the glues
No time for this supply
If this demand can never chose
To eat healthy

There's just no time for the control
Of what we do and what we say
No time for all these holy wars
With Gods out on display
What happened to peace and love?

When people all around
Are startin' to begin
To understand that here and now
Is what we're livin' in

Yesterday is gone
So that a new day can begin
And it seems there's been
A change of direction
In the wind

Well, I'm back on that road again
Nothin' slows me down
I ain't seen a single smile
Since I left your town

All these people just keep lookin' 'round
Can't look him in the eye
LA's like the movies
And I'm still wonderin' why

I'm holdin' on
Lay my head down on the rail
Sing my way back home

Road signs are hazy and
The miles start to unwind
But I ain't never lookin' back
'Cause there's nothin' left behind

My fingertips are bleedin'
They're right down to the bone
Can't believe I'm out again
On the high lonesome road

I'm holdin' on
Lay my head down on the rail
Sing my way back home

The headlights are blindin' and
The diesels are on fire
Haulin' ass down a mountain pass
To the California state line

If you could see my bleedin' feet
You might hang your head and cry
But don't you shed a tear, my dear
For I'm comin' home tonight

I'm holdin' on
Lay my head down on the rail
Sing my way back home
Lay my head down on the rail
Sing my way back home

Out along the hardest trail
Set your mind at ease
Laid the sun down upon the hill
Fell into the sea

Left your heart on that hard worn trail
Left your family on that hard worn trail
Left for dead on that hard worn trail
Damned to hell on that hard worn trail

Days were lost and remembered when
You shed your eyes of fear
Awareness of a debt repaid
Soon to disappear

Bled out till empty on that hard worn trail
Crazy in your eyes on that hard worn trail
Tossin' and a-turnin' on that hard worn trail
Losin' your damn mind on that hard worn trail

Passin' sky brings forever miles
Somehow closer to you
Feelin' age is all unclear
Something you can't choose

'Cause mile after mile on that hard worn trail
Blood, sweat and trial on that hard worn trail
Dancin' in the fire on that hard worn trail
Sweatin' out thin demons on that hard worn trail

Kickin' and a-screamin' down that hard worn trail
Beggin' for some mercy on that hard worn trail
Singin' of forgiven on that hard worn trail
To be lost in a vision on that hard worn trail

'Cause time was a-tickin' on that hard worn trail
Your heart beat a rhythm on that hard worn trail
You was a-gettin' down that on that hard worn trail
Hard worn trail, hard worn trail, hard worn trail

Bettin' on another long shot
'Cause the sure shot's done passed
You walk along straight and narrow
But you're barefoot in broken glass

You sleep a lot where the sunlight
Stays locked up in a hole
You can't stand to let the light in
'Cause your heart may wanna roam

You're tellin' me
I've lost it all
You're tellin' me
I've hit the wall

Your eyes melt to the windshield
As your soul runs on tired
Swervin' on the bad side of luck
Waitin' on a sign of sunrise

You can't help but wonder
How you lost all control
I guess you just couldn't keep up
With the wild horse that you stole

You're tellin' me
That I've lost it all
You're tellin' me
I've hit the wall

You set yourself on the back steps
And you feel yourself grow old
Your gray hair start runnin' back
To a place you left so cold

Well, put yourself another piece of wood
On the fire down below
'Cause you can bet it's gonna be hot
When you get to where you gonna go

You're tellin' me
I've lost it all
You're tellin' me
I've hit the wall

I'm all choked up again
With these two hands and the rage I'm in
I think I just killed a man

I think it was my old man
I hadn't seen him in years and now he's bleedin' tears
And his head is in the palm of my hand

All choked up again
Have you ever met up a little command
That couldn't break a pool boy's chin?
And here it all is again

Went all in I got stuck in a jam
That's what you get when you're a gamblin' man
That's what you get when you're a gamblin' man

Well, every day you seem to dig a little deeper
Into nothin' that is left behind
Up all night 'til it's early in the mornin'
And the whole damn world's on fire

I close my eyes and I wanna start runnin'
But my legs are broken and tied
Everything around me starts spinnin'
And I realize I'm buried alive

This ain't no place for kids
But when you're raised in a bucket of rain
You either die or you learn to swim
You either die or you learn to swim

I just need to see my baby again
She took my hand there from where it began
Said she would love me with trouble I was in
Said she would love me with trouble I was in

And every day I seem to dig a little deeper
Into nothin' that is left behind
Up all night 'til it's early in the mornin'
And the whole damn world's on fire

I close my eyes and I wanna start runnin'
But my legs are broken and tied
And everything around me starts spinnin'
And I realize I'm buried alive

I'm all choked up again
With these two hands and the rage I'm in
I think I just killed a man

Your heart's on the loose
You rolled them seven's with nothing lose
And this ain't no place for the weary kind

You called all your shots
Shooting 8 ball at the corner truck stop
Somehow this don't feel like home anymore

And this ain't no place for the weary kind
And this ain't no place to lose your mind
And this ain't no place to fall behind
Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try

Your body aches
Playing your guitar and sweating out the hate
The days and the nights all feel the same

Whiskey has been a thorn in your side
and it doesn't forget
the highway that calls for your heart inside

And this ain't no place for the weary kind
And this ain't no place to lose your mind
And this ain't no place to fall behind
Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try

Your lovers won't kiss
It's too damn far from your fingertips
You are the man that ruined her world

Your heart's on the loose
You rolled them seven's with nothing lose
And this ain't no place for the weary kind
