Don't Be Callin' My Phone 04:18
lyrics
buy track
The telephone is ringin', and I'm still sleepin' Won't you leave me alone Please go away, I ain't got nothin' to say Ain't nobody home You're drivin' me crazy, and I'm bein' lazy I like it this way I've been up all night, and if it's quite alright I think I'll sleep all day You keep callin' my phone You won't leave me alone And that ain't cool Ain't nothin' left to say You drove me away I've had enough of you There ain’t nothin’ you can do or say to make me want to pick up the phone So you might as well resign yourself to take a break and leave me alone The phone is still ringin', and you keep bringin' me down Cause you keep cryn' the blues Every time you call, you really make my skin crawl Can't you find something to do Besides pushin' me around, and puttin' everybody down What you tryn' to do The mailbox is full, now what ya gonna do What's got into you You keep callin' my phone You won't leave me alone And that ain't cool Ain't nothin' left to say cause you drove me away I've had enough of you There ain’t nothin’ you can do or say to make me want to pick up the phone So you might as well resign yourself to take a break and leave me alone I can't take it anymore You always made it such a chore To see the light of day So just leave me alone And don't be callin' my phone If you ain't got nothin' good to say

Blown Away 03:42
lyrics

As I look outside this window I see the sky is turning grey Raindrops falling down Watch them touch the ground As they slowly melt away Just a shadow of illusion As I watch them fade away Raindrops falling down Watch them touch the ground As I watch them fade away Seems the years go by so swiftly As you watch them slip away And the sands of time are drifting Through the hourglass of today Just a silent resolution Reaching out for yesterday Raindrops falling down Watch them touch the ground As they slowly fade away It’s alright to cry You don’t know what it’s like Until you’ve been blown away Raindrops falling down Watch them touch the ground As they slowly fade away It’s alright to cry You don’t know what it’s like Until you’ve been blown away Until you’ve been blown away

Somethin' Just Ain't Right 04:18
lyrics

My head is layin’ on the pillow But I got one foot on the floor So just give me the sign and I’ll be headin’ on out that door I don’t know where the wind will blow me But there’s one thing I know for sure I ain’t lookin’ back cause I’ll be headin’ on down that road I’m gonna ride the wind, ya know it’s only just a matter of time And it ain’t no sin, cause’ I know that something just ain’t right I don’t bother anybody I’m tired of feelin’ like a piece of shit So I’ll just be on my way, cause’ I’m tired of puttin’ up with this So when I set sail, and leave a dusty trail You can tell them that I said this As I’m ridin’ away, I got a place where they, Can plant their lips and leave a big fat kiss I’m tired of pissin’ up a rope and tired of spittin’ into the wind Cause’ there ain’t no excuses, looks like this is never gonna end So you can tell everybody That I’m headin’ on down that road And I’m travelin’ light, runnin’ clean out of sight, and I won’t carry no heavy load There’s no need to get excited Ain’t no need to get yourself into a tiss No I haven’t lost my mind, I’m just runnin’ out of time, and it’s time to put an end to this I’m gonna ride the wind, ya know it’s only just a matter of time And it ain’t no sin cause’ I know that something just ain’t right I guess there’s nothing left to tell ya And most of this I think I’d rather forget But if this dog has his way, he ain’t taking anymore of this So go and tell everybody That this is gonna take another twist I got a place where they can plant their lips and leave a big fat kiss….like this I’m tired of pissin’ up a rope and tired of spittin’ into the wind There ain’t no more excuses, looks like this is never gonna end I’m gonna ride the wind, ya know it’s only just a matter of time And it ain’t no sin cause I know that something just ain’t right And it ain’t no sin cause I know that something just ain’t right I said it ain’t no sin cause I know that something just ain’t right….

Mountain Man 06:27
lyrics

I owe so much money It ain’t even funny It’s time to even up the score The hounds they come around They smell you when you’re down Can’t hardly take the stench no more The wilderness is calling me It wakes me when I sleep I just wanna be….. a mountain man / that’s what I am I keep waitin’ round For the right time to tell you I can’t stay with you no more I can’t stick around This Godforsaken town So I’ll be leavin’ in the mornin’ I’ll pack up all my goods Cause I’m headin’ for the woods I’m just gonna be….. a mountain man / live off the land I’m just a rebel with a cause Tomorrow I’ll be gone Guess I’m not your huckleberry I’m headin’ for the hills Gonna throw away these bills No one will ever find me I’ll pack up all my goods Cause I’m headin’ for the woods I’m just gonna be….. A mountain man / live off the land A mountain man / that’s what I am

These Bones Don't Lie 05:04
lyrics
buy track
Carry these bones to the riverside Bury these bones on the riverside Bury them deep, underneath the willow tree Lay them low, so we both can weep Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide So dig a hole, underneath that tree Don’t pay no mind, nobody missin’ me Sun may rise, the wind might blow Sun may rise, the wind might blow Can’t feel a thing, when you’re six foot deep These bones don’t lie, can’t feel a thing Bones don’t lie, can’t feel a thing These bones don’t lie, nobody missin’ me

Moonlight Drifter 03:20
lyrics
buy track
There’s a drifter in the distance, riding on a pale horse Ghost rider in the moonlight, and he’s on a steady course He’s ridin’ with the angels, fightin’ demons by the score Hangin’ on by just a thread, as he fights this savage war There’s a storm on the horizon, as he rides this rugged road He knows there’s trouble brewin’, the winds cuttin’ through his bones Nobody sees him, cause he’s nothin’ but a ghost Ghost rider in the moonlight, and he’s ridin’ alone Few have ever seen him, for his spirit has been torn He’s a loner and a warrior, and he fights this war alone Just a shadow in the distance, as he rides into the night Peacemaker on a dusty trail, and he’s ridin’ out of sight Neither blood nor piercing arrows, nor the darkness of the night Though the wicked stand before him, they won’t stop him from his fight This traveler from both time and space will stand for what is right Ghost rider in the moonlight, as he rides into the night There’s a drifter in the distance, and he’s ready for a fight Ghost rider in the moonlight, as he rides into the night

I Don't Know 04:28
lyrics

Wanderin’ round aimlessly, can’t get to sleep at night Ain’t got no direction, nothin’ feelin’ right Cause I don’t know…….which way to go I don’t know, which way the wind will blow Lookin’ out this window, something just ain’t right My thoughts are blowin’ with the wind, and I’m just doin’ time Cause I don’t know……..I just don’t know I don’t know, which way the wind will blow Don’t know what to tell you, don’t know what to say Somethin’ lingers in the air, I feel it every day Cause I don’t know………I just don’t know I don’t know, which way the wind will blow And I don’t know, which way the wind will blow I just don’t know, which way the wind will blow

War In Stringtown 03:42
lyrics

Worn down to the bone Can’t find my way back home Devil’s ridin’ on my tail He’s knockin’ on my door He might try to take me That devil he won’t break me Cause I’ve been down this road before Down so long, worn so thin Feelin’ this will never end Will the sun shine down again I think it will, I don’t know when The devil try to take me He ain’t gonna shake me Lord lead me to the promised land Someone put a spell on me Lost my way, it’s hard to see There’s a light around the bend Time to get back home again Lord come and take me, take me by the hand And lead me to the promised land There’s a war down in Stringtown, don’t feel like home anymore There’s a war down in Stringtown, don’t feel like home no more There’s a war down in Stringtown, ever since my Mama’s gone

I used to be a peaceful man for most my life ya see But you just went and made me mad and got the best of me You just better watch yourself, be careful what you do I just might, come along, and get the best of you You ain’t so big and bad, you’re barely six foot tall I took all that I can, The bigger they come, the harder they fall You always had a mouth that’s bigger than your feet You like to talk the talk to people that you meet Better take it easy when you go messin’ round with me You just might walk that walk much sooner than you think You ain’t so big and bad, you’re barely six foot tall I took all that I can, The bigger they come, the harder they fall Where are you comin’ from, and what made you so mean You ain’t so big and strong, so you better stop messin’ with me You ain’t so big and bad, you’re barely six foot tall That’s just a bunch of crap, The bigger they come, the harder they fall I took all that I can, don’t wanna hear from you no more Leave me alone or I’ll be knockin’ on your door Just keep it up and I’ll be comin’ after you You’re gonna get yourself a brand new black and blue tattoo You ain’t so big and bad, you’re barely six foot tall Your muscles in your mouth and that pretty much says it all You like to talk the talk and that’s all you can do You’re gonna get yourself a brand new black and blue tattoo You ain’t so big and bad, you’re barely six foot tall I took all that I can, The bigger they come, the harder they fall That’s right, the harder they fall…… Careful, you might fall down son…… Ya might even get a little help on the way…… You just might get yourself a brand new black and blue tattoo You ain’t so big and bad, you ain’t so big and strong…… Why don’t you just go away and leave me alone… You’re out flappin’ your jaw, it’s gonna get you in trouble son…. Go find somethin’ else to do… You’re gonna get yourself a brand new black and blue tattoo And it ain’t gonna be where you want it!!!

Riddle 03:23
lyrics

The moon don’t rise at noon and it’s getting’ early soon The sun don’t rise at midnight can’t ya see Everything is upside down, turnin’ round and round It just don’t seem to make no sense to me I saw a shadow standin’ right beside me I turned to look but it was gone I tried to find the light to guide me Through this riddle in a song Lightning never strikes twice in the same place I am told And moss will never gather underneath a rolling stone There’s a time for everything, a time to reap a time to sow Or is this just a dream, I wanna know I ain’t lookin’ for approval And I don’t need no sympathy The only one that’s gonna judge me Already got me on my knees I saw a sparrow grin as he was blowin’ in the wind I saw a feather fallin’ to the ground The wind was blowin’ cold, with that old sparrow growin’ old And he was headed to the dark side of the town I saw a shadow standin’ right beside me I turned to look but it was gone I tried to find the light to guide me Through this riddle in a song I ain’t lookin’ for approval I don’t need your sympathy The only one that’s gonna judge me Already got me on my knees

Not A Perfect Man 04:15
lyrics

Some say that all I do is waste all my time I say it’s all in their head If you don’t like my livin’ style, then go take a ride Then we can put this all to rest You keep barking up my tree, and that ain’t no surprise You never were my biggest fan I got a woman standing by my side And I know that she can understand I never been a perfect man, but I done the best I could Why can’t you leave me alone What you see is what you get, and it ain’t always good Don’t really matter anymore I ain’t seen the light of day since I remember when And I ain’t workin’ for the man So just keep doin’ your own thing, and I’ll do mine Cause I don’t really give a damn Sun is rising in the eastern sky Something I don’t understand Why the sun is shining through my blinds When it’s time to go to bed Daylight is burnin’ and it’s so cold outside Tossin’ and turnin’ in my bed It’s hard to sleep, but I been up all night Can’t shake the cobwebs from my head Cause I ain’t seen the light of day since I remember when And I ain’t workin’ for the man I got a woman standin’ by my side And I know that she can understand She knows I’m not a perfect man Lord knows I’m not a perfect man

Tell Me It's Alright 04:30
lyrics

Summers come and gone Leaves are fallin' down Winters knockin’ on the door Seems there's no escape Just can't concentrate Feels like I've been here before Feels like I've been here before Find it too hard to ignore Feelings deep inside Find it hard to hide Seems like only yesterday Ten years have come and gone I know that don't seem long But somehow almost everything has changed Somehow I let it slip away I try to find the words to say Won't you let me lay my head upon your pillow tonight We can lay under the stars and stare up into the moonlight And will you hold me closey while I look into your eyes And tell me everything is gonna be alright Now I stand alone Winds are blowin' cold I fight this emptiness inside Now the nights are long And those days are gone Won't you tell me it's alright Though these feelings I can't hide Won't you let me lay my head upon your pillow tonight We can lay under the stars and stare up into the moonlight And will you hold me closely while I look into your eyes And tell me everything is gonna be alright
