Riding down the highway, south on forty-nine that cornbread's in the oven, hope I make it home in time Flying down the highway, I'm smoking like a train I'm not sure if I'll make it now, I'm broke down in the rain Because I'm all out of gas, I'm all out of food that cornbread sounded really good I can't ever win, I'm bound to lose I never shoulda bought a Ford, Found on the roadside blues Rolling down the highway, I heard that motor blow and someone in the fast lane ran me off the road Sitting on that highway, about to go insane I stepped into a flatbed and it barely missed my brain Because I'm all out of gas, I'm all out of food that cornbread sounded really good I can't ever win, I'm bound to lose I never shoulda bought a Ford, Found on the roadside blues I get up off the asphault, when I awoke I had a .44 pistol pointed at my nose I grabbed that fella's pistol, and then I stole his dough I hopped in his flatbed and I hauled it down the road Because I'm all out of gas, I'm all out of food that cornbread sounded really good I can't ever win, I'm bound to lose I never shoulda bought a Ford, Found on the roadside blues Because I'm all out of gas, I'm all out of food that cornbread sounded really good I can't ever win, I'm bound to lose I saw blue lights, I grabbed my shoes I turned around, headed to town That cornbread cured my roadside blues

The door has opened up and all the Dirty little secrets living under the stairs are finally coming up and getting some air but it's Just our luck that dirty little Secrets can kill with a single glance If we're to have a fighting chance then What we need to do is Not let them manipulate and Put us all under their spell Turn us all against ourselves What do we have to lose If we don't let them propagate and Feed us all their dirty lies Until that's all we have inside well I for one won't concede to be a helpless follower a silenced voice that can not be heard I'll sing these songs at the Top of my lungs til' my Voice gives out no I won't settle down Until the day my body goes in the ground I won't settle down I won't settle down I won't settle down I won't settle down This machine in my hands, it can stir up Quite a lot of commotion Whenever I get that notion so I'll Do all I can to let people know We don't have to live in the shadows Cause our dirty little secrets have someplace to go I'll sing these songs at the Top of my lungs til' my Voice gives out no I won't settle down Until the day my body goes in the ground I won't settle down I won't settle down I won't settle down I won't settle down I'll sing these songs at the Top of my lungs til' my Voice gives out no I won't settle down Until the day my body goes in the ground I won't settle down I won't settle down I won't settle down I won't settle down

Sacrifices 02:40
She looked my way and smiled at me Then I crawled along on the ballroom floor Just to take another look for sure A few months in we danced, we sinned and we even know what the future holds It didn't take long, she got a good job and down the road she goes But New York stole my babe away, I'll be fine but I think I'll stay She is so sweet the honey bees would hang around for days and then I start to write her song, when I turned around she's gone Sometimes we have to make sacrifices and sing along In my sleep, your eyes I see Now both of us can chase our dreams There's nothing left to do but stop and sing Riding in the subway seems, like it surely ain't the thing for me I tried my best, tried to ride along caught every stop between But New York stole my babe away, I'll be fine but I think I'll stay She is so sweet the honey bees would hang around for days and then I start to write her song, when I turned around she's gone Sometimes we have to make sacrifices and sing along

Here we go again my friend In to the dark we ride I know we will be standing When we come out on the other side So here we go to face the storm The dark clouds overhead They will never bring us down Not you and I my friend Never will I forget Forget what true faith is It's moving down to Arkansas to play music with your friends So never will I forget Forget what friendship is It's being there for my brothers, time and time again Here we go to face the hordes They'll never cut us down They can never be the ones To put us in the ground We will live and we will fight and ride another day I know we will be just fine because by your side I will stay Never will I forget Forget what true faith is It's moving down to Arkansas to play music with your friends So never will I forget Forget what friendship is It's being there for my brothers, time and time again Never will I forget Forget what true faith is It's moving down to Arkansas to play music with your friends So never will I forget Forget what friendship is It's being there for my brothers, time and time again

Having trouble finding all of my belongings I slept in a puddle well into the morning and finally, I found a friend indeed who gave me ibuprofen and weed I take a walk around down in shakedown ally and I had to double-back it when I saw my neighbor Sally She just looked at me, I know just what she needs I gave her ibuprofen and weed Having trouble walking with the devil on my shoulder my friends all started clapping, we were on a roller-coaster as we started gaining speed, I buckled at the knees, and as it seems there may be something in the weed The devil started laughing, on my shoulder he was poking me and Sally started looking at the devil's ibuprofen she said look at these, it isn't what you think it wasn't ibuprofen or weed I wanted ibuprofen and weed I wanted ibuprofen and weed

Money Tree 04:32
I lived and died then I was born again my second life began, I tried to make it better than I did before another try, I get another go at making it my pedal's to the metal, and I'm tearing off my tourniquet but I stand tall, don't do what I am told I'm living, and contemplating, one chance to save my soul you're kidding, the choice is easy give it all to me, glad to see that I finally found the Money tree, money tree take from thee and give to me come on down and rest with me lay right down by the money tree Money tree, money tree if I die, don't bury me take my body out to sea send me down with the money tree Have social status but I lost my friends lonely in the end, could I profit, would I even benefit? I question life and purpose, what I have, and is it worth it nothing gained and nothing earned, as far as I can see but I stand tall, don't do what I am told I'm living, and contemplating, one chance to save my soul you're kidding, the choice is easy give it all to me, glad to see that I finally found the Money tree, money tree take from thee and give to me come on down and rest with me lay right down by the money tree Money tree, money tree if I die, don't bury me take my body out to sea send me down with the money tree

Sour Mash 06:40
Well that sour mash is turning sour and that sweet corn whiskey tastes too sweet and I should probably give this old bottle a rest but I haven't even gone blind yet Well I should stop, three days ago but now I can feel that whiskey deep down inside my bones and if I have even one more tiny little drop I won't ever be able to stop Now it's been at least four more days and I am so dry that I keep falling awake my head feels like an empty shell and my body feels like it's been through hell There's only one way to stop this madness that's to put that bottle to my lips and take a few sips a few sips turns in to three or four pretty soon the whiskey is gone and I'm gonna need some more Well that sour mash is turning sour and that sweet corn whiskey tastes too sweet and I should probably give this old bottle a rest but I haven't even gone blind yet Well that sour mash is turning sour and that sweet corn whiskey tastes too sweet and I should probably give this old bottle a rest but I haven't even gone blind yet Well that sour mash is turning sour and that sweet corn whiskey tastes too sweet and I should probably give this old bottle a rest but I haven't even gone blind yet

Troubled times, troubled mind, they find me every time I'm drinking from the bottle, and I'm never satisfied now they got me on the run, I'm a man without a gun I never meant to lose control Walk the line in single file, looks like I'll be gone a while I traded in the bottle for a bag of homemade wine and I think of what I could have been, will I make it home and what have I become? Will I ever learn my lesson I'm doing time as I've already mentioned I wish I was home helping you in the kitchen singing a song because I know you would listen Lost my control when the finally found me counted up my reasons that I had to be happy Got no use for drinking, so I forfeit the whiskey ain't no better time to think about what I could have been and what I have become, and who I should be well what can I say Will I ever learn my lesson I'm doing time as I've already mentioned I wish I was home helping you in the kitchen singing a song because I know you would listen Lost my control when the finally found me counted up my reasons that I had to be happy Got no use for drinking, so I forfeit the whiskey ain't no better time to think about what I could have been and what I have become, and who I should be well what can I say What have I become

If it comes from your garden darlin I'll eat it you better believe it cause when you found me I was hard up and starving your treatment is what I was needing cause I was barely breathing All the rotten fruit I've been growing has been showing signs of hard times ahead So toss me in a coffin or teach me how to seed so I never go hungry again so I never go hungry again If it comes from your garden darlin I'll eat it you better believe it cause when you found me I was hard up and starving your treatment is what I was needing cause I was barely breathing For a while I had my doubts but you saved me from this drought and now my crops are growing strong and tall You worked this wretched ground, you tilled it up and down and now this garden it ain't mine at all now this garden it ain't mine at all If it comes from your garden darlin I'll eat it you better believe it cause when you found me I was hard up and starving your treatment is what I was needing cause I was barely breathing If it comes from your garden darlin I'll eat it you better believe it cause when you found me I was hard up and starving your treatment is what I was needing cause I was barely breathing
