Last Train From Chicago

I missed the Last Train from Chicago to Milwaukee
I won't be coming home to you dear
I missed the Last Train from Chicago to Milwaukee
but I'm safe and sound darlin, here in this uptown bar
The cities people seem so friendly
as long as booze are on the bar
so i spent my ticket money buying shots and rounds all over town
Well my new found friends won't let me down
(Chorus)
Tomorrow morning will be ugly
I'll have to find a way back home
Or you can find me under, the Wilson street bridge by the lake
With a bunch of other peeps that made mistakes
(Chorus)

They Would Roll
04:03

Grandpa was a banjo picker, 60 years ago
Raised in the hills where the moonshine stills and the crooked rivers flow
He'd push all night by the pale moon light, and turn them coal cars round
Load them up with mountain gold and send them out of town and
They Would Roll
Winding by the rivers they would roll
into places so mysterious and mean
They would roll
Grandpa lived for song and liquor, no matter what the toll
Had his fill of old Nashville, made a record, never sold
he hopped the trains from Big Lick City, to anywhere they'd roll
Riding trains is easy Lord when the tracks roll by your home and
They Would Roll
Screaming through the dead of night they'd roll
into spaces to luxuious and green
They Would Roll
What grandpa don't know is that he'll never fade away
I was 12 years old I watched them lay him in his grave
Became a full grown man and I myself do tend to stray
Late at night I find my guitar, get it out and play
Grandpa was a banjo picker, 60 years ago
raised in the hills where the moonshine stills and the crooked rivers flow
(chorus)

I been thinkin bout you baby
I been thinkin way too long
I been thinkin that just maybe3
I ain't gonna do you any harm
And one of these days I'm gonna let you know baby

Desperation makes you lonely
oh and lonely where's I been
you've become my one and only
my temptation vice and sin
And we're gonna go down to the judge today
and we're gonna stand right there side by side
and I"m gonna make you a promise so you can be mine
I been thinkin bout you baby, but i been thinkin all alone
damn my bitch ain't got no collar, so she's out lookin for a bone
And this is day I'm gonna let her know
I ain't gonna stay here one more night
yeah, this is the day I'm gonna leave my cheatin wife behind
I been thinkin
I been thinkin
And this is the d

To See You Smile
03:44

Just want to See You Smile
Just want to make things better
Just want to count the miles
and cruise into forever
I look into your eyes
I know you don't believe me
This world is full of lies
but it's not one of them
I don't know how we get to where we wanna be
I don't know where we turn from here
All I know is I want you here, next to me
and we'll get by if we face the journey without fear
(chorus)
I don't care where we're going now truthfully
'cause love is all about the company you keep
and we'll survive if you let me be here next to you
'cause when you smile it light up the world like I've never seen
(chorus)

Blue Railroad Train
03:29

Blue railroad train, goin' down the railroad track
It makes me feel so doggone blue to listen to that old smokestack
Traverse a-rollin' on, leavin' me here behind
Give me back them good old days and let me ramble down the line
Blue railroad train, leavin' me here alone
You treatn' me good, you treat'n me bad, you're makin' me think of home
I hear that lonesome train and love to hear the whistle blow
She's takin' the sun and leavin' the rain and makin' me wanna go
I've got the blues, longin' for some company
It's many miles from where I am to the only one for me
It's so lonesome here, waitin' for the manifest
I hope that engineer is kind, enough to let me be his guest
Blue railroad train, a good old pal to me
Takes me everywhere I wanna go, get my transportation free

Carry On
03:32
|
|||
|
I wake up mid aftenoon
TV's blaring static and I'm stumblin through the ruins
In a little while I'll be gone
Up across the mountain and I won't be home til dawn
You do what you can to stay yourself
to get through each day and you try not to ride your melt
cause in a little while we'll be gone
up across the mountain and we wont be comin home
Carry On, with a Bible in your hands
Carry On, cause this is the promised land
and everyone has got to stand outside in the rain to feel the sun
Got a little house out in the woods
Got me two young children and I think that they're damn good
in a little while theyll be grown
up across the mountain and they wont be comin home
sometimes at night I watch them sleep
I watch them toss and turnin underneath their sheets
in a little while they'll be gone
up across the mountain and they won't be comin home
Carry On, with a bottle in your hands
Carry On, cause this is the promised land
and everyone has got to stand outside in the rain to feel the sun

Overtime
05:03
|

|
I never thought you'd be leaving me here
I never dreamed this in a thousand years
All along it came so easy
The selfish things I did to please me
Now it's Overtime
Time to figure this shit out
What is yours is mine
You won't let me sleep under a bridge now will ya
I can't go back, I can't go forward
Trains off the tracks, it's run away
I'll go and find my friends, the ones that I've ignored
The ones that still answer when I knock on their door
I'll offer my charming wit my smile and a guitar
if they will let me babysit their car and DVR
(chorus)

Eulogy For A Dog
03:08

|
Understated in significance
a wire and cedar fence
The kudzu creeping behing the late day shade
The doggies that have gone away
each one has had their day
and gone on up to the kennel in the sky
They won't be gone forever
They won't be comin home
We'll think of you whenever
We throw away our bones
Suspended in their innocense
always a bit intense
a fiery racer whenever the truck rolls
too many nights in the trashcan and in my bowl
Always at my right hand side
to be my tour guide
a tousand creatures, I never would have seen
your head in my lap and runnin' in your dreams

I'm Just Killing Time
03:57
|
|||
|
I have heard that it's
good to be fruitful
all I know is it's not too late for me to try
All alone and I'm searching for answers
I have found that I can't find them on my own
Now that I'm older, I'm so much wiser that's what they tell me
I do my best to play my part
but the warm days are colder and
I'm just Killing time

When I was young and in my prime
I left my home in Caroline
Now all I do is sit and pine
For all them folks I left behind
I've got them Blue Ridge Mountain blues and I'll
Stand right here and say
My grip is packed to travel and I'm stealing gravel for the blue ridge far away
I'm gonna stay home with my ma
I'm gonna stay home with my pa
Gonna hang around that cabin door
With no work or Worries anymore

You Should Be Afraid
05:04
|

|
I never thought about the games
all Facebook's apps, seem kinda lame
But now it's all coming together
selling CD's on the internet
and my iPad keeps getting better
I'm going riding on the Audiobus
I've got a drum machine, and it's cool
I've got some photo processing, it's like school
Yeah I got stuff to make me look good
Except I'm old tired and overweight
But I've got an app for that too
It tells me it can make me skinny again
You Should Be Afraid of this
You should run like hell
You should tell your neighbor about it
but you won't because you don't like what they like
You should tell me how wrong this is
Rate me a 1-5
cause if we don't have e-pinions to post well we,
might as well not be alive
The zombie's are here to stay
they stay up all night and don't pray
Touch me gently as a glass screen
click me as softly
what search terms will you use to find me
what variables make a really good spouse
(Chorus)
I want to tell you
What you're supposed to feel now
oh won't you listen to me
I want to tell you
What you're supposed to think now
Oh won't you listen, why don't you listen
The zombies are here to stay
They stay up all night and don't pray
But now it's all coming together, selling Cd's on the internet
My ipad keeps getting better, I'm going riding on the Audiobus
(Chorus)
