Ain't Got The Blues 03:11
lyrics
buy track
It’s been a long time comin’ It took a long time to see God knows you’re lookin’ for something Well it turns out sure as hell ain’t me So many years on the outside You never opened up the door So many times I tried and tried again But I’m not knockin’ any more Ain’t got the blues Ain’t got the blues no more You got a hold on something You got a hold on the scene You’re holdin’ on so tightly now Oh man no one can hardly breathe Talk about the next generation But you don’t wanna hear nothing new Sometimes I felt like I should give up but I didn’t The worst thing I could do is wait on you Ain’t got the blues Ain’t got the blues no more It’s been a long time comin’ It took a long time to see That ou’re just a tollbooth at the crossroads yeah and you got no business stoppin’ me Ain’t got the blues Ain’t got the blues no more I’m hangin’ up the phone I’ll do it on my own Ain’t got the blues Ain’t got your blues no more

Resting On My Mind 03:14
lyrics
buy track
You’ve been resting on my mind I’m wonderin’ how you spend your time I’m wonderin’ if you’ll be all right You’ve been resting on my mind I don’t care what people say Pictures painted black and grey There has to be some kind of way I don’t care what people say A late night text from my old friend Said he’s feeling near the end An S.O.S. spelled out again a late night text from my old friend I hope you choose to stick around Even though it feels like you might drown I know your troubles got you down I hope you choose to stick around You’ve been resting on my mind I’m wonderin’ how you spend your time I’m wonderin’ if you’ll be all right You’ve been resting on my mind

Pretty 03:26
lyrics

Been a long time lookin’ for some lovin’ Sittin’ around wishin’ I had someone Now you come along talkin’ fantasy Spellin’ out things that any man can read It’s been a long time, but you ain’t for me ‘Cause close as i can tell yeah it seems to be Oh you’re pretty You’re pretty pretty crazy I said you’re pretty You’re pretty pretty crazy You got your little black book turn the pages faster ‘Til the feelin’ fades like rain on alabaster Callin’ all aboard lookin’ round the station Winkin and slinkin’ and I know the game you’re playin’ So that’s all right yeah you’re not for me Some other fool will have to be the one to take a knee ‘Cause you’re pretty You’re pretty pretty crazy Oh yeah you’re pretty You’re pretty pretty crazy Puttin’ it out, little miss thing To lure a lovestruck fool into a wedding ring I want pride and joy, you’re a hit and run So I think I’ll pass and wait for the one ‘Cause you’re Pretty You’re pretty pretty crazy I said you’re pretty Pretty pretty crazy You’re Pretty You’re pretty pretty crazy Oh yeah you’re pretty Pretty pretty crazy

Ain't Giving Up 02:31
lyrics
buy track
It’s too much and it’s too fast It answers questions that we never asked Turning into more labor than love I dig the holes just to fill ‘em back up I’m tired I’m tired. But I ain’t givin’ up Familiar face in a strange mask New footing that’ll never last Lookin’ in from the outside Building castles in a landslide I’m tired..tired. But I ain’t givin’ up Out of my head with a broken heart We stick together ‘til we fall apart It’s getting late but there’s still light It blinds us all at the end of the line I’m tired I’m tired, but I ain’t givin’ up I’m tired so tired, but I ain’t givin’ up

Attitude 04:22
lyrics

You keep talking like it’s still the way it never was It’s been a long time comin’ but it never does You make the scene, strut and preen talkin’ peace and love I’m movin’ on you never did because You don’t like you don’t like my attitude Screw your lies, advice and empty platitudes Keep playing your games, but I ain’t gonna change just cause you Don’t like my attitude I’m makin’ friends you’re searching for an enemy I’m comin up for air you drown in jealousy I ain’t buyin the lines you always try to sell Hide behind your lies deny but I can tell You don’t like you don’t like my attitude Run me down and then expect my gratitude Keep playing your games, but I ain’t gonna change just ‘cause you Don’t like my attitude You come along for the ride when the ride is free Where you stop no one knows but I ain’t gonna be You hide disease down deep inside your remedy I ain’t takin’ the bait ‘cause it’s clear to me You don’t like you don’t like my attitude Run me down and then expect my gratitude Keep playing your games, but I ain’t gonna change just ‘cause you Don’t like my attitude Don’t Like my attitude Don’t Like my attitude Keep playing your games, but I ain’t gonna change just ‘cause you Don’t like my attitude

Blues Enough For You 03:34
lyrics
buy track
I don’t think that you know what you’re missing Obsessing over back in the day Holding it down, hallowing ground Freeze it so it won't fade away The story ain’t new so I just do what I do Is that blues enough for you You’re holding court on all of the stations You’re standing at the festival gates According to you, you can only play blues If blues is the only thing you can play You locked the door behind you but I’m walking through Is that blues enough for you Is that blues enough for you Is that blues enough for you You can keep your advice, your fedoras and ties And just let me do what I do Tradition don’t make ‘em listen Stretch the morning don’t make it a day The tighter you hold, the faster it goes And we all see It’s slipping away Keep collecting the dues but I got nothing to prove Is that blues enough for you Is that blues enough for you Is that blues enough for you You keep drawing the lines I’m gonna color outside Is that blues enough for you

Lie To Me 03:27
lyrics
buy track
Lookin’ out oh it’s plain to see But clouds set in when it comes to me they don’t say much but they say it so loud Don’t have to make sense, but it draws a crowd I keep building this wall brick by brick Long past the time I can get over it I can’t find my way, I can’t figure it out So I’ll just keep swimming with this hook in my mouth If it turns out it ain’t meant to be Lie To Me Lie To Me If the truth ain’t gonna set me free just lie to me When they’re down I’m up, when they cry I laugh But I’m only standin ‘cause the wall’s at my back Nothing left to try nothin’ left to spend I need to fly before the runway ends If I’m livin the dream just let me sleep Lie To Me Lie To Me If the truth ain’t gonna set me free I’m feelin’ funny somethin ain’t right What’s tight is loose and what should be loose is tight My heart is heavy and my pocket’s light Gotta make my money by the end of the night I keep on diggin’ I’m in too deep So Lie To Me Lie To Me Lie To Me Yeah lie to me If I’ve dreamed awake through all these years Just tell me what I need to hear Lie To Me

I Don’t Care What You Say 03:20
lyrics
buy track
Talkin’ all the time paint the world in black and white never budgin’ a little Pick and choose your lies villainize the other side and I’m stuck in the middle The careful words you choose don’t line up with what you do So I don’t care what you say I don’t care what you say Walkin’ through your life bringin’ gun-fights to a knife it’s a virtue display Say you know where power lies you’re gonna cut them down to size but it cuts both ways Sanctimonious decrees seem like for me but not for thee So I don’t care what you say No I don’t care what you say Up on your soap box you got so much to say Dolin’ out your orthodox you want everybody to pay Nothing seems makes you stop you got to show us the way I think you’d keep on talkin’ even if I just walked away So I don’t care what you say No I don’t care what you say You think that we all should sing the hymns out of your book and believe what you claim I see the shortcuts that you took but when the shoe’s on the other foot you don’t walk the same Tryin’ to talk to you is like hammering a screw So I don’t care what you say No I don’t care what you say

Keep On Walking 06:42
lyrics
buy track
I have walked for miles on aching feet I have listened and swore that I believed What I clung to what I always hoped I’d be Now has broken deep inside of me But I’m gonna keep on keep on keep on walking I’ve been stoned on the high of just you wait Drunk on potential just a bill that don’t get paid I sold my tools I made tinder of a dream Let it burn down to the ground just to feel the heat But I’m gonna keep on keep on keep on walking So many times it turns out all the same Don't know how to turn ashes back to flame I won't toe the line to have my sins forgiven Don’t wanna kill myself no no just to make a living So I’m gonna keep on keep on keep on walking
