Walkin down the track guitar on my back wonderin where the road's gonna take me next devil had a plan fiddle in his hand told me I would sing for his rock and roll band well I was born with marks little tiny scars shaped just like the hole on my guitar Well I was born to sing the blues Man that body stunk threw it in the trunk buried myself in that desert sun well I would die with marks many tiny scars teach me not to mess with the devil's guitar well I would die to sing the blues I was born to sing the blues There's a ghost inside of me that I can't shake loose I was born to sing the blues I was born with marks little tiny scars shaped just like the hole on my guitar There's a ghost inside of me that I can't shake loose Robert Johnson's back and he walks in my shoes I was born to sing the blues

Hooray 03:37
I'm the least with looks the most with words the best at making myself sound Like I don't know what's coming out, what's coming out I'm the least with words When she walks by I wrote it down cause I know That I can't sing it to her No I can't sing it to her She runs around with her head in the clouds But no one to share the view with I sit alone with my celluar phone But no one to call on it All she wants is the man that stole her heart And all I want is to give it back to her So tell me you read sheets Cause my heart skips a beat whenever you walk by I wrote it down In perfect harmony you wanna know where my heart's gone? Well look at the page Every note in her direction Where I just can't stay

Junk Mail 03:42
I'm so tired I'm so lost since the day you went 2,000 miles across that deep blue ocean and I try my very best but it's so hard to rest my weary head among all of this commotion I don't want you to end up just another sad song I want this one to stay on a bright note So just keep this simple melody in your head and in your heart and I'll sing it soft in your ear when you come home Do you remember the last time I saw you in mid september and the last time I held you I wish that moment could've lasted forever I can't forget when you said that you're not done with me yet You wiped the tears away from your green eyes glistening in the sunset I don't want you to end up just another sad song I want this one to stay on a bright note So just kiss me through the camera lens and I'll wish you a good night and I'll fall asleep and dream of when you come home When you come home I don't want you to end up just another sad song I want this one to stay on a bright note So just keep this simple melody in your head and in your heart and I'll sing it soft in your ear so that no one else can hear I'll sing it soft in your ear when you come home

elociN 03:48
Well I went down to the liquor store to see if there was something I could drink Well I bought myself a bottle and I poured it down my own kitchen sink Well I went down to the record store to see if there was something I could sing I said “I only know a couple chords but maybe you could help me” They said “we ain't got what you're looking for, in fact I think we're closing” Well go on and wipe those subtle curves and hope to God that paint don't chip Well go on and tell yourselves you'll live forever; your lives won't end An outline of a white guitar with music notes behind it I put a cole into your paper heart, I took a drag and I smoked it Well I went down to the library to find myself a book As I sat down to read it I saw my heart unhook It had a picture of you inside When I looked at it, I damn near cried Cause I know you're closing and I know you're not coming back now

Dreams 03:09
Dreams, no one ever falls in love like me If you knew you'd wanna kick and scream Cause no one ever falls in love like me I've lost a lot of notes from everything I've ever smoked and I've lost a lot of friends, they've moved away but left their love and I still choke on every word I ever wrote for her so I don't wanna know if she's found another boy to sing to her In my dreams no one ever falls in love like me If you knew you'd wanna kick and scream Cause no one ever falls in love like me I've found a lot of hope in everyone that I have known and I've found a lot of hurt in every thought I waste on her and I still choke back a tear or two every now and then but I don't wanna know if she's found another boy to sing to her In my dreams Don't you ever fall in love with me Cause music is my only girl and She, she don't like to share with anybody else

Whiskey 02:47
Oh sweet whiskey you're the only girl that wants to kiss me We might get swallowed by the sea Before ever our lips meet Before we ever get to be and you, I know you say that I'm bad news But my heart's black and blue From no one else but you It doesn't matter what I do, I'm always coming back to Whiskey you're the only girl that wants to kiss me i'm all alone and I know it's all that goddamn whiskey Oh miss Murphy You're the kinda girl that wants to hurt me I'll sit alone and watch my love burn, oh miss murphy Doesn't matter what I do, cause i'm always coming back to you yeah yeah, yeah yeah. I'm always coming back to you
7.
Say A Prayer 03:12
say a prayer for the poor in spirit say a prayer for the heart stricken with grief say a prayer for the man who's plagued by hopelessness and if you get a chance just say a little prayer for me ill say the prayer of the faithful farmer ill say a prayer to sow in with the seeds ill say a prayer to fertilize the rocky soil but when the winter comes just say a little prayer for me the light at the end of the tunnel is dying out and its hard to keep your sanity without it but sooner or later my friend the sun will creep in again so don't turn back, give up, or give in to doubt just yet say a prayer for the one lost in darkness say a prayer for the light you cannot see say a prayer to get you through this time of hopelessness and if you get a chance just say a little prayer for me say a prayer as we're climbing up our mountain say a prayer as we ride the sun right into the sea say a prayer cause even tho you might not see us we're still there so say a little prayer for me say a little prayer but make it big for me

Well we're just another beam in the track No one would remember us even if they wanted we're just another sidewalk crack in the world's winding road We're just another beam in the track The trains passing over us faster than we know it It's leaving and it's not coming back Well we're just another beam Well an eagle burst off a cliff to fly Out into that bloodstained sky Well the sun ate him up in her glorious flame And he's never coming back and I think it's safe to say that he's just another beam in the track No one would remember him even if they wanted he's just another sidewalk crack in the world's winding road he's just another beam in the track The sun's setting over him faster than he knows it he's leaving and he's not coming back Well he's just another beam Well a peaceful old lady tells me her story 95 years in the same weathered skin Now she sits alone in her retirement home living in her memories before she has to go, well she knows she's just another beam in the track No one would remember her even if they wanted she's just another sidewalk crack in the world's winding road she's just another beam in the track Crackin and splinterin and damn straight she knows it she's leaving and it's not coming back Well she's just another beam And all these people runnin' round well they're just mirrors reflecting what I want to see But I know someday they will fade away I know they'll fade away from me Because... I'm just another beam in the track no one could remember me even if they wanted to

Um, Ok Song 03:29
Shut the fucking door I don't want them looking at me while I sing anymore and I won't tell you how to waste your precious time I just wish you'd share in this joy of mine and if you could you'd see me every night singing to your picture hoping it would come to life I wrote this song duet on the piano so we would have to sit close again Her hands go high My hands go low I close my eyes and I let go of you Are all I want to see right now and you are all I need to hold right now I hope this song will make you smile and maybe we can wait a while before we have to say goodbye Shut the fucking door I don't want them looking at me while I sing anymore and this is more than I can take I need you here when I awake so close the door and turn the key and close together we'll be free so please shut the fucking door I don't want them looking at me while I sing to you.

They're gonna bury me in a guitar case They're gonna marry me to a rattlesnake She's gonna dig her fangs into my face and never let me go Tonight the fireflies remind me why I'm surely gonna die a death fit for a sinner Singing songs fit for a slave, i've been hanging here since winter But i've been dying here for days, I've been dying here for days Well I've been dying Are you dying? Yes I've been dying We've been dying to live Well I went up to a mountaintop and I saw you shining like the sun and I knew you were the only one for me and from the confines of those city streets I could feel you guiding me through the darkest nights and the deepest seas Right back into your arms
11.
The doctor said we'll put you back together boy you know you won't from being plain and simple to black and gray yeah Your arms came off your legs came off you look just like a toy you know but I will put you again together when I die bury me underneath a tree and let it grow and let it fall and on that day you'll make guitars from And I have learned to stay away from drugs they just change me to black and gray And I have learned to stay away from girls cause they will only break my heart at the end of the day stay away from music. Its just a tool that the devil will use to get you when you go yeah stay with me love stay with me love when I die let the worms chow down on me so then the birds can eat the worms and that day i'll be free to fly away from all of my pain
