I was sailing on a sinking ship
I'd been tossed away
I've been out here so long
I can't recall the days
Or the last time I heard a voice
Only sounds of thunder
Or the call of the cold, cold hand
That pulls you under
Now that the boat is broken
We've been falling through dark for days
It's been a long time since I've seen some waves
At the bottom it's cold and wet
And noone talks to me
Except for the fish I guess
But the make poor company
I wonder about my family
I hope they can find me
Somewhere at the bottom of the seven seas
I like Jack and Coke SoCo and Seven
Cold beer after a long day is heaven
Take it uptown to the high class winebar
Or downtown to the Honkytonk divebar
Drink drank drunk
As I opened the door I was smacked right dead in the face
By the smell of stale beer and smoke that filled up the place
Empty shot glasses scattered around
Jukebox blarin’ people getting down
Drink drank drunk
Drink
Another drink
One more drink drank drunk
Wild Turkey was there with Jim Beam and Old Granddad
Carrying on and laughin’ until things went bad
Dinosaur Larry pulled a knife
What if I'm falling in love?
I wonder if I am strong enough
These nights I lie awake
These days I sleep in way too late
I wonder if I am strong enough?
True love is giving it all
Falling till we fly
Walking on a wire
Turning on the star shine
Twinkle in your eye
Waiting for a sign
Destined to arrive
It's right on time
Falling till we fly
What if you’re not what you seem?
I wonder if you’re my fantasy
These nights I lie awake
These days I sleep in way too late
What if you’re not what you seem?
Well you know I really love you
But this wild road has got a hold of me
I gotta go but you’re always with me
I feel you close when I close my eyes
I hear your voice it’s like you’re by my side
Wish you were here but I know you can’t be
So here’s what I’m gonna do
I’m gonna bring it back home to you
More than a postcard
Better than a photograph
You’re gonna see what I mean when get I make it back
I’ll pick a different colored flower every field that I pass
And bring ‘em back home to you
Bobby has a wife and baby son
Works at least ten hours a day
Raised on apple pie, God and guns
Calls it his American way
Worked his way up out at the Auto plant
Joined the union, made a good wage
Then the market fell and the stock went bad
They laid Bobby off one day
And all they heard him say was
How the hell we gonna pay for Christmas?
Work was scarce around that town
But God knows Bobby tried
They took his car and they took his house
Man, he was barely scrapin’ by
He started talkin’ ‘bout drastic things
How they pushed him to his breakin’ point
Late night
Early morning
Sunrise
Without a warning
Gives me
No time
To sleep off
Last night
I still hear
My buddies laughing
Cold beer
Pretty women dancing
No fear
We we’re feeling alright
And we can go on all night
When the neon sign
Says c’mon in
We rev it up let it ride
One more time
Take it for a spin
When it’s flowing right
Hope it never ends
Then the pretty bartender
Smiles at me
She says come on back again
At the end of another late night
Early mornin’
Head hurts
From all the boozin’
But I’ve gotta work
No time for snoozin’
From the cradle to the back porch
Makin music all for the love
Ever siince my feet were walkin
Walked on sunshine from above
Mother made me, Father gave me
Everything I didn't know that I needed
Even later, after fallin
Still I remain in this thing that I love
You can follow your light down a dark road
Soon enough you will see the end
And as you follow your light down a dark road
Hold on tight to the light of your friends
Got the lonely, got the heartache
Got the doctor's that spit in my ear
Tried to hold back, tried to slow
Called it caution, but it was fear
I need you to give me a reason to be
Why you made me to think things through logically
Someone to lean on is someone to count on
I need you to promise you’ll save me
Everything breaks and people keep leaving
Don’t know where to turn or who I believe in
When life don’t make no sense
When life don’t make no sense
When life don’t make no sense
Wonder where it all went
And was all of this meant to be
I’ve lost all my faith in technology
I’ve lost all my faith in science
Don’t let me lose what I thought was the truth
Please show me what you want me to do
