Many Miles To Go-Go

One more whisky won't hurt me none
Who's turn is it to drive this bus back home?
We've had a real good time with you
But now we've got to bid addeu
And there's many miles to go
Many miles to go-go
Many miles to go-go-go
Before we settle down.
Throw those guitars in their cases
Wrap the cables and put away the microphones
And load the amps back into the van
We'll be back this way as soon as we can
And there's many miles to go
Many miles to go-go
Many miles to go-go-go
Before we settle down.
I could use a cup of coffee,
Just one more cup before we hit the road.
We've had a real good time time tonight
But the morning sun is shining bright
And there's many miles to go
Many miles to go-go
Many miles to go-go-go
Before we settle down.

Blue Enough For Two
03:29
|

|
Surrounded by the ones that I hold dear...
I'm gonna need you to get me outta here
'Cause my fists are clenched about as tight as they can get
And I'm all wound up and lonesome, kinda like prison cigarettes
I'm blue
Blue enough for two
And I wouldn't be worryin' my pretty head if I were you
It's true
There ain't nothin' you can do
Except order double shots of booze when you're blue enough for two
Sneak up from behind & wrap your arms around me
And say "what if this is just the way we're always going to be?"
I didn't spot it before, but now I can certainly see
And if I didn't know better I'd say you're probably just as blue as me
I'm blue
Blue enough for two
And I wouldn't be worryin' my pretty head if I were you
It's true
There ain't nothin' you can do
Except order double shots of booze when you're blue enough for two

You said some things out loud
And I guess that makes them true
But I hope you bear in mind
I said some thing out loud too
Sure, my ego needed boosting, and I'm weaker than I knew
But I'm saying it out loud, I ain't going home with you
If I had followed along
To the other side of town
And we'd found a little bar
That we could quietly close down
I'd wake up tomorrow morning feeling broken & blue
So I'm saying it out loud, I ain't going home with you.
IF I’M GOING ANYWHERE, I’M GOING CRAZY
AND I’M HEADING THERE ALONE, HIGH & HAZY
SO I’LL JUST SPECULATE THE OUTCOME
RATHER THAN WATCH IT ALL COME TRUE..
You remind me of someone
I used to be
I'm not that person anymore
but I think back fondly
Maybe for a moment I liked the thought of my whole life in ruins
But I'm saying it out loud, I ain't going home with you

Sour Mash
03:28
|
|||
|
I went out tonight to be part of the crowd
I ended up getting fall-down drunk in public and making you proud
They lined up shots of bourbon and they ordered rounds of beer
And like some obnoxious magician, I went and made them all disappear
Anyone will tell you I'm known to impress
I'll impress upon you my vulgarity and I'm the king of making a mess
But maybe making messes isn't how I'd like to be known
My kingdom is in shambles, maybe I'll retire my throne
Between the loving and the leaving
The drinking and the drunk
The small town country music
And the big city hardcore punk
From the highway to the soundcheck
From the gigs to the forgotten names
From the headache to the heartache
You make them all feel the same
So here's to you, Sour Mash
In like a cyclone and out with the trash
Somebody call me a cab, and lend me some spending cash
'Cause I spent my last ten bucks on sour mash
I don't see you very often, but when I do you're always the same
I've been doing well, my rent's on time, and all my bills are paid
I'll admit sometimes I miss you when I'm thinkin' about those days
Maybe we can get together on saturday night, just for old time's sake
Between the loving and the leaving
The drinking and the drunk
The shitty old country music
And the shitty old hardcore punk
From the highway to the soundcheck
From the gigs to the forgotten names
From the headache to the heartache
You make them all feel the same
So here's to you, Sour Mash
In like a cyclone and out with the trash
Somebody call me a cab, and lend me some spending cash
'Cause I spent my last ten bucks on sour mash

Romantic Mystery
02:33

Big romantic mystery
Makes the lovers swoon
Poets wax about what's on
The dark side of the moon
You can only see it from the dark side of the earth
It don't cost a dime so we don't wonder what it's worth
Big romantic mystery
After which the dreamers pine
Pulls the water towards the land
Makes people lose their minds
It's a lonely rock with Neil Armstrong's footprints in the dust
It comes back every night so we figure it belongs to us
They say the full moon above you has the power to change
A man into a wolf
I think it changes color every once in a while
To mess with the people below

Crazy Is Just What I Do
03:32
|
|||
|
I watch the sunrise in the reflection
Of the building across the street
8 months a year I can’t
The other 4 I can’t stand the heat
There’s a couple of weeks towards the end of September
When the weather suits me just fine
But that’s a far cry from the 5th of July
When it’s too hot to sleep through the night
And I’m crazy to live in this climate
And I’m crazy to think I should move
Lately it seems crazy’s working for me
Crazy is just what I do
Sometimes I get the feling
This planet’s not where I belong
So I busy myself with the impossible task
Of writing the perfect song
And I’m crazy to think I can do it
And I’d be crazy to not see it through
Lately it seems crazy’s working for me
Crazy is just what I do
Write some crazy songs, make a crazy record
With a couple of crazy guys
Book a crazy tour to some crazy towns
And miss you like crazy each night
Crazy is just what I do
Crazy is just what I do
Lately it seems crazy’s working for me
Crazy is just what I do
There are those nights when you can count on one hand
The number of people in the crowd
The bourbon takes hold of the mic and the stories
Behind all of your songs pour out
And you’re crazy ‘cause you just keep on talking
With their camera phones pointed at you
Lately it seems crazy’s working for me
Crazy is just what I do

Side Dish

Remember that girl you try not to think about
who don't remind you of anyone you've ever met
She's only as much trouble as you are,
and you're trouble enough for the 2 of you, I bet
She’s never gotten mad at your mother
For some passive aggressive thing your mother said
And you do not reminisce about the
Tropical vacations that you and her ain't never had
You say she can look right through you
At the thing you ain't had a chance to do
You can tell by the way that her smile curls up
She'd be with you if you ever decide to...
See it through
And her father never threatened to kill you
Or chased you out the door with his gun
Yelling "stay away from my daughter or the next time I chase you
Is gonna be the last time you ever run."
What if you decide to be loyal...
What if you decide to be true...
To the pretty young girl with ruby red lips
Running her finger around the edge of your tattoo
She'll never believe a word that you tell her
And you'll never trust a word that she says
Because you both know every lie that the other has told
To keep each other under wraps
And there's nothing to gain from this misery
And there's no lesson to learn from your strife
And there's nothing left to do except to go back home
And try and fall back in love with your wife.

I Got A Heart
02:37
|
|||
|
I got a heart, like buried treasure
And you got a pick and a spade and a map and a key
And you're mad
And you're mean when you're mad
And you dig real good when you're mad
But I got a heart.
I got a heart, and it's well protected
And you got a real loud voice that carries over the wall
And you're mad
And you're mean when you're mad
And you got a real sharp tongue when you're mad
But I got a heart.
I got a heart, and my heart's got windows
And you got yourself a baseball and a bat
And you're mad
And you're mean when you're mad
And you got real good aim when you're mad
But I got a heart.

Look At Me Now
03:48

I'd put my car keys inside the gas door
Of my old Ford
And then I crawled inside
Because if I don't have the key
They've got nothing on me
And they can't give me a DUI
But I'm not even the same guy that bought that car
That shared a parking lot with a hotel liquor store a hotel bar
A cheap hotel where I've never ever rented a room
But you can look at me now and see what 7 years can do
I used to park facing East
‘Cause I like to feel and I like to see
Sunshine coming over the dash board every morn
I figure that's the best way / you could ever start your day
But by each Nightfall I would Rue the day I was born
I'm amazed each night I made it back to that car
Like a horse that knows it's way back to his stall inside the barn
With rider fast asleep under the spell of too much booze
But you can look at me now and see what 7 years can do
It's took so long to figure out I always had the power to leave...
It was as easy as filling the tank full of gas and turning the key
Everything to gain and nothing to lose
But you can look at me now and see what 7 years can do

Sometimes I'm Bad
03:12
|
|||
|
It gets dark in here
Between the bourbon and the beer
And the Blues develops from the cheer
And it stays all night and it stays for a year
And the road is long
And it's real narrow
What am I supposed to do?
I don't ever know
SOMETIMES I’M BAD
The people I've never met
They smell like booze & cigarettes
And other things that I'll regret
But I haven't passed on them just yet
And the lights are bright
And they call my name
And I know what's good & bad
Sometimes they feel the same
SOMETIMES I’M BAD... and I'm bad right now
I go a little mad, but I don't know how
And I drink the wine, I just have a tad
Sometimes I'm good, Sometimes I'm real good,
But right now I'm bad
I built a house
I built a home
And I'm always surrounded
But I feel alone
And I understand
Between the bourbon and the beer
It gets dark in here
I gets dark in here
And SOMETIMES I’M BAD
