Ballad of a Jr Hitman
Its ok Jay have it your way, I’ll see ya again on that day
no one could tell you a damn thing anyway
Its ok Jay have it your way, go on ahead you just got tired
of all the shit
Now you’re gone and left us here with ma
In the years ahead we will say your name and …smile
On the road ahead we will hold you every mile
Its ok Jay you did just fine, you met the challenge of Highridge hill
no Jr Hitman could ever jump that creek
Its ok Jay the reefs are safe, safe from your probing curiosities
but the world feels lighter, lighter in heart
In the years ahead we will say your name and …smile
On the road ahead we will hold you every mile
Its ok Jay you had to split you just got tired of all the shit
now we’ll make ya a saint, just like common people do
Its ok Jay we’ll watch the kids, we’ll watch’s grow just like we did
they’ll tell their stories about their pa
In the years ahead we will say your name and …smile
On the road ahead we will hold you every mile

Great Emancipation
Baby if you need an invitation
maybe you’re not seeing things the way I do
the way I do…..
Maybe with a little education
you could see the world the way the world sees you
Now you gotta try something new
Now you got a chance to be you
Now you gotta feel something true
Welcome to your new emancipation
maybe you should move onto someone new
someone new……
Everytime you get an inclination
maybe you should think about it more then you do
more then you do……
Now you gotta try something new
Now you got a chance to be you
Now you gotta feel something true
Hoping that your new elucidation
opens up your heart to something grand and new
grand and new…..
Welcome to your new emancipation
maybe you could get on with the things you do
the things you do…..
Now you gotta try something new
Now you got a chance to be you
Now you gotta feel something true

Collier County line
That swamp don’t love ya
and that’s for sure
she’ll rot your walls down
and kick down your front door
Runnin the line, the Collier County line
burnin the night, like we just can’t see the line
That girl don’t love ya, she told ya so
she’ll take ya down
and drop ya in a hole
Runnin the line, the Collier County line
burnin our time, like we ain’t got nuthin but night
She ran ya ragged, and gave what for
and when she beckons you’ll be back for more
Runnin the line, the Collier County line
burnin our lies, to keep us warm at night
Hang on my dear, life comes in doses
what’s one more year, one shit prognosis
That town don’t love ya
you saw to that
you broke the contract
and pissed right down her back
Runnin the line, the Collier County line
Burnin our lies to keep us warm at night
Runnin the line, the Collier County line
Burnin our time like we just can’t see the line.

Drunk Love Letter
Threw her dreams in a wishing well
Love ya darling but I wish ya well
You could be the better man today
Didn’t mean to make your mama cry
But I think I know the reason why
Doesn’t seem we really care much today
Puttin all the pieces away
Maybe we can drink this thing better
This ain’t no life lesson song
This is my drunk love letter
One would suppose that one just doesn’t know
Where its all gonna go in the end
I see the moonrise reflected in your eyes
And I know that somethings don’t mend.
Puttin all the pieces away
Maybe we can drink this thing better
This ain’t no life lesson song
This is my drunk love letter

Sacramental
Let go Let go
you never had control
I know you thought you did
in the lies we try and live
Pull me under, under the water
say the words and set me free
hold me under, under the water
Keep your secrets inside me
Take hold take hold
of the bars around your soul
in the darkest of your dreams
sucking marrow thru the seams
Pull me under, under the water
tear this veil and set me free
hold me under, under the water
Keep your secrets inside me
I know, I know
how your melancholy grows
so obvious in your eyes
Its not something you disguise
Pull me under, under the water
Keep your secrets inside me
hold me under, under the water
tear this veil and set me free

Sons of Dunning
Tongues always wag in the holding pens
but these are the hearts that I know
its not that I need a friend
I just need a place to go
Can someone help me off the floor
this woman shot me down before
I don’t need your permission
we drank up all the sex
I won’t leave til the crops come home
we still got time to regret
Cold grey walls to cage my demon
cold grey walls to beat my demon down
I hear your voice, every mornin
I know what’s real, and where I can be found
Absolve my predilections
and loosen my bonds
I’ll make a run for it
You won’t see my hide again
I can’t feel my legs no more
she may have poisoned me for sure
don’t get near the waters edge
there’s death in the shallows
You’ll learn the jailhouse hacks
and who to make a friend
Cold grey walls to cage my demon
cold grey walls to beat my demon down
I hear your voice, every mornin
I know what’s real, and where I can be found
I know where my heart can live
I’ve seen to its demise
I’m not saying I deserve it
but we built this house on lies
Cold grey walls to cage my demon
cold grey walls to beat my demon down
All that I am in all my children
I watch from the wall as they put you in the ground.

The Bad in me
Low me down again
low me down my friend
time refused my plea
Let me go and drown
the bad in me
Live your sordid dream sinner
Jesus works the pawn
eyes betray intent sinner
root where you belong
This sense of wonder
that lives inside your heart
will take you far away
too far….from where you start
Test your faith with me sinner
you won’t last the night
knowledge has its way with faith sinner
lost inside the light
This sense of wonder
that lives inside your heart
will take you far away
too far….from where you start
You will rue the day sinner
human nature takes its toll
your heart can’t find no truth sinner
in the shallow grave you call your soul
This sense of wonder
that lives inside your heart
will take you far away
too far….from where you start

Dead Girl Waltz
Tried to see ya but your never at your home
Tried to see ya but your never at your home
no more
yellow tape across your door
thinking I won’t be seeing you no more
Tried to see but your never at your work
Tried to see but your never at your work
Big Jerk
Your boss just ripped my favorite shirt
Police say I ain’t welcome there no more
Everything the papers say you know is just a lie
I could never do her any harm
I don’t care what people say
I know she was my charm
guess I’m gonna have to leave this town
Called your message just to listen to your voice
called your message just to listen to your voice
not once, not twice…against all good natured advice
thinking I should be layin low tonight
Drove by your sisters, I thought that we could talk
Drove by your sisters house, and now I gotta walk away
things ain’t workin out my way
thinking I should be leaving here
Everything the papers say you know is just a lie
I could never do her any harm
I don’t care what people say
I know she was my charm
guess I’m gonna have to leave this town
