All The People

I made mistakes of telling you the things I don’t believe
You listened closely but you did not receive
I never really noticed as you grew cold
Your silence made me bold
I thought things were good
You thought things were bad
Now we won’t recover what we never really had
All the people on the ground
Build you up then tear you down
Bury you without a sound
Won’t someone help us
I made mistakes of telling you the things I think I get
You said that you don’t get them but it’s not over yet
I guess I never knew there was a warning in your words
So I guess you never listened and I never heard
You said folks were good I said folks were bad
Now we won’t recover what we never really had
All the people here below
Talk of things that we don’t know
And yet we never let them go
Won’t someone help us
I made mistakes oh all along the way
With folks like you with nothing more to say
Deep inside is a stone cold heart
I should have known it from the start
Plus you think that you’re good
I think we’re all bad
Now we won’t recover what we never really had
All the people have no voice
Then they take away your choice
That they aren’t you makes them rejoice
Won’t someone help us

Heroin

Some city is where you’d rather be
At least they’d know you’d exist and you’d have some company
Oh the noises in the night
Somehow they give comfort in this everlasting fight
You keep talking about getting away
But please don’t take anything for your pain
It’s not worth it; it never is
Mother says you could marry again
Somehow you still can choose
And you think you’ve lost it all, but there’s more that you could lose
The ending it’s not here yet
It’s no good when you remember that you can’t forget
You keep talking about getting away
But please don’t take anything for your pain
It’s not worth it; it never is
Mother says you could marry again
There were good years every now and then
There was the summer by the river
And the winter when your friends finally came through like friends should
In a way that you never could
You keep talking about getting away
But please don’t take anything for your pain
It’s not worth it; it never is
Mother says you could marry again

One little heart broken in two
Things aren’t working so here’s what you do
Come for a while stay at my place
And it’s all for free
Two little hearts on different roads
Come together to lighten your load
There’s a place with a porch and a big back yard
And it’s all for free
Smoke cigarettes, Watch cable tv
Drink a 12 pac of beer, but don’t mind me
I’ll just fix my toilet that you destroyed
And that’s free too!
Three little hearts all alone
When you can’t make it on your own
Take out your frustrations on kitchen walls
And that’s free as well
Now four little hearts and the money is tight
You can stay right here, and it’s all right
Tell your cousins, and the neighbor, and the neighbor’s dog
That they can stay for free too!
Just blame the system blame the schools
Blame the judge, all those fools
Blame everybody for another 30 days
While you live for free!
You know what I like, it’s so much fun
To work three jobs and when I’m done
I can leave my family and take care of yours
And that’s free too!
One little heart broken in two
Things aren’t working so here’s what you do
Come for a while stay at my place
And it’s all for free

Little Annie

Little Annie we’ve had more trouble
Ever since you came to town
You’ve been walking up the avenue
You’ve turned us upside down
The trouble is your father
Is meaner than a springtime bear
When we watch you walking by
You should see his stare
They say he killed a man in Georgia
Put him in the ground
And when that posse came after him
He took that posse down
Little Annie we’ve got trouble
And trouble’s ain’t hard to find
I wanna take you down to the courthouse square
Just to make you mine
But little Annie there’s your brother
Slippier than a serpant’s tongue
They say he even scares your father
And he’s out here on the run
Little Annie it’s a mystery
Just how you came to be
Because when I saw your mother
I wished the sun would’ve blinded me
Little Annie we’ve had more trouble
Ever since you came to town
You’ve been walking up the avenue
You’ve turned us upside downLittle Annie I’ve an idea
It just came to me
And we can run through that mountain pass
And take to the sea

Stopped Falling Away
02:46

Lost and lonely tired and torn
Now I've finally stopped falling away
Sad and angry bitter and worn
Now I've finally stopped falling away
My soul was heavy those chains were strong
I was a shadow of what I could be
And then it changed when you came along
Now I've finally stopped falling away
Start your clapping and stomp your feet
Now I've finally stopped falling away
Tell everybody all that you meet
Now I've finally stopped falling away
My soul was heavy those chains were strong
I was a shadow of what I could be
And then I changed when you came along
Now I've finally stopped falling away
Gotta choose something; choose what’s right
Now I've finally stopped falling away
Even old Hank he saw the light
Now I've finally stopped falling away
My soul was heavy those chains were strong
I was a shadow of what I could be
But this changed when you came along
Now I've finally stopped falling away
My adversary is now a friend
Oh I've finally stopped falling away
Oh the end is where I begin
Now I've finally stopped falling away
My soul was heavy those chains were strong
I was a shadow of what I could be
But this changed when you came along
Now I've finally stopped falling away

Daddy the Stranger

Daddy was a stranger, mama wasn’t smart
Falling for a man who’d tear everything apart
Mama’d find new love about every single year
And that stranger would come home crazy
And the love would disappear
They found a body on the river shore
They don’t who did it, and what they did it for
But if they ever asked me, I couldn’t tell a lie
It doesn’t bother me to see a stranger go and die
And that stranger had power, so hard to explain
For one I guess I looked like him, and two I had his name
The stranger made me anxious, the stranger made me cry
And scared of every other stranger passing by
They found a body on the river shore
They don’t who did it, and what they did it for
But if they ever asked me, I couldn’t tell a lie
It doesn’t bother me to see a stranger go and die
Mama found a new love, a Stranger in the sky
He’s bigger, he’s better, and he lifts her up on high
I guess the best kind of stranger is one you cannot see
Who talks to you in your head and tells you that you’re free
They found a body on the river shore
They don’t who did it, and what they did it for
But if they ever asked me, I couldn’t tell a lie
It doesn’t bother me to see a stranger go and die

He lives in a Tennessee trailer with a Tennessee bride has Tennessee teeth and drives a Tennessee ride
Born in a valley, raised on a hill, Oh the Tennessee Blues
He has four Tennessee dogs and three Tennessee cats two Tennessee kids wears a Tennessee hat
Born in a valley, raised on a hill, Oh the Tennessee Blues
He has a Tennessee future and a Tennessee past gets through the day smoking Tennessee grass
Born in a valley, raised on a hill, Oh the Tennessee Blues
Above the door to the kitchen he has a sign that declares he's blessed
He has a Tennessee belly drinks Tennessee beer has Tennessee breath hunts Tennessee deer
Born in a valley, raised on a hill, Oh the Tennessee Blues
