Fast Girl

We could sit by the railroad tracks waiting on that train
Just like in our favorite folk tales on how to Leave tour pain
But that blue line don't she don't stop in this town
So options they are few
When it comes to the rumble and crumble of heartbreak
We each know what to do
I need a hard plan and a fast plane
you need a hard drink and a fast girl
We could stare in the deep blue sky and wish upon a star
That sounds real sweet and all but it just wont get us far
That big night she don't shoot back ideas
Though precious those stars have little wealth
When it comes to the rumble and crumble of heartbreak
It's each man for himself
I need a hard plan and a fast plane
you need a hard drink and a fast girl
That river at the edge of town can wash away ones sin
Last time I went down for a dip her waters burned my skin
She forgave but would not forget
So I had to reap what I had sewn
when it comes to the rumble and crumble of heart break
We're all out here on our own

Rain Song

A storm is brewing in Big Whiskey Wyoming
Though there ain't a cloud in the sky
And If I thought I would not Flood the land
I might let myself cry
And rain down upon these wide open spaces
Rain down upon these dry dusty plains
All these years I'm asking you listen to my sorrow
Should have just been praying for the rain
Now everyone has packed for California
Bright lights and big fancy cars
But my roots are deep where the lightning never sleeps
And the sky wont let loose of the stars
And rain down upon these wide open spaces
Rain down upon these dry dusty plains
All these years I'm asking you listen to my sorrow
Should have just been praying for the rain
Cuts are deep and scars are raw
but time will mend what wounds will draw
And rain down upon these wide open spaces
Rain down upon these dry dusty plains
All these years I'm asking you listen to my sorrow
Should have just been praying for the rain

Twister

At first light Sunday I'm at the bar
Cause God and church couldn't Take me far
Or high enough away from you
It seems we made a mockery of this holy life long sanctity
Till death do us part I'm getting an early start
This deal went south when the words I do
Tumbled out of our mouths
This deal went dark like a twister through the trailer park
Like a twister through the trailer park
Our kin is gone all full grown got families of their own
So I ask the bar keep for answers he could never know
Where would I be if not here today
How much life did I through away
With one long walk down one short isle
This deal went south when the words I do
Tumbled out of our mouths
This deal went dark like a twister through the trailer park
Like a twister through the trailer park
Open the windows run to the halls down on your knees
The preacher calls
Is this a drill or must I now commit
I think it’s love
and I've been hit

Martyr

I got one eye on that bottle
One IOU
One hand on my wallet one hand to help me through
One Ace up my sleeve in times like these I do believe
Theres nowhere else to turn
But to the misery I've earned
I got one good dog to keep me safe
One good God to keep me sound
One good truck that keeps me getting all over town
I got one king in the hole cause I don't own my soul
Theres nowhere else to turn but to the misery I've earned
Misery loves company
But she's not here by her side
The devil he is on my heels
And there is no place left to hide
Misery love company so why am I alone
No prayer No sign No walk the Line
And no way to get back home
I got my Lies laced with Glory
Tattoos to tell that story
Two hands worn and tired from this hell that i desired
One last down and dirty
Lord help me to get to 30
Theres nowhere else to turn
But to the Misery I've earned

Nobody's Baby

She's got but one red dress a little soul sickness
And they have both been hanging around too long
She tries them both for a night a little short a little tight
But the honesty feels right
She's nobody's baby
She's nobody's girl bitter sweet a little wild
A long way from mama's child
She’ nobody's girl
She packs one small bag
cause the damage done is a drag
She wont carry it anymore
She heads straight downtown
To see what trouble can be found
Like a new life into the world
she's nobody's girl
You know love can be unkindfor those who are left blind
To what is actual
And the heart is undersold when the soul does not unfold
What should be natural
She has seen what that's about
She wont love again with doubt
She's nobody's baby

Shotgun Romance

It was a shotgun romance deep in the heart of the barrio
A shotgun romance the city lights the moon hung low
To show his jail house tattoos dark skin eyes true
The cutest little gangster in my ghetto
He said Cathy girl I gotta get my swerve on
Gotta find my grove my move my stride
gotta leave this dirty little town before it takes my life
So we knocked a few back shot this and that
The cutest little gangster in my ghetto
Wonder what he looks like under that attitude
Wonder what he looked like out of his clothes
Wonder what he'd looked like lying in my bed
Miguel.....I got a price on your head
We stumbled out of that cantina
down the alley to the back door dope store
I spy the latest graffiti grabbed some cans
Tagged some more
No stress no sin we spayed our souls thin
The Cutest little gangster in my ghetto
then out of the starlight into the night air
Came a skirt with a wink and a stare
Not a word man not a moment to soon
I lost that boy to the spell of the moon
Hair piled high she had that look in her eye
