Oh my lifeI won’t get a chance to go thru it twiceOh my mindIs holding on to things I left behind

They say that you gotta go to knowThat you wanna come homeThere is no shame till you knowThere’s right and wrongWe dipped ourselves in the riverBut we never get cleanThere’s no way back to Eden From what I’ve seen

Bless my old black dirty heartThrow these memories awayI’ll watch the sky for that morning starAnd I will let it light my way

Oh this lifeIs dragging us one and all out of paradiseOh this time Is over that hill and rolling down the other side

They say that you gotta go to knowThat you wanna come homeThere is no shame till you knowThere’s right and wrongWe dipped ourselves in the riverBut we never get cleanThere’s no way back to Eden From what I’ve seen

Fire in the HoleShow me something realLet me hold it in the palm of my handWhat I wanna hearTell me that’s your best laid plansYou cross your fingers when youLook me in my eyes

Fire in the holeHigher than you’ve ever known

It’s a bitter pillIt’s a hard old row to hoeYou’re standing in the wayFucking up the ebb and the flow

You smile and tell me that thisHappens all the time

Fire in the holeHigher than you’ve ever known

I can’t see why you are the one Who holds the keyWhen you take yours it looks likeNothing left for me

If I were you, I’d sleep with one eye openI’d keep praying keep hopingYou oughta be watching your backIf I were you, I’d be looking over my shoulder’Cause every day gets closer to what’s coming for youPayback’s a bitch

If I were you I’d be careful of the stones I’m throwingI’d be blowing on the dice I’m rollingYou oughta be watching your backIf I were you I’d be looking ’round every cornerAin’t nobody ever gonna warn ya You know that it’s truePayback’s a bitch

Lay It All on MeRuby’s got a brotherHer brother’s got a loverHis lover’s got another on the sideAin’t nobody’s businessWe all need forgivenessIt’s been laying heavy on my mind

If you got a secret baby I can keep itLock it up and swallow the keyEverybody’s got a little something to hideYou can lay it all on me

Her mama used the Bible Daddy used the bottle

Revival and survival made her runShe’s using just a littleOf both here in the middleI know exactly where she’s coming from

If you got a secret baby I can keep itLock it up and swallow the keyEverybody’s got a little something to hideYou can lay it all on me

Covering my tracks and sneaking on the slyIt’s getting hard to look my Rosie/Ruby in the eyeShe caught us shackin’ up at a dirty motelSays she’s gonna send us both straight to hell

It’s complicated ain’t itI wish I could explain itIt wouldn’t make no difference if I triedRuby and her brotherSay one way or anotherI’m running out of places I can hide

If you know a secret you best know how to keep itLock it up and swallow the keyEverybody’s got a little something to hideYou can lay it all on me

No Way Back to EdenThere’s no well-beaten pathWe left nothing along the wayCome too far to turn backLet the chips fall where they may

Wish in One HandYou wish you could be everybody’s best friendIt’s all about you it’s a means to an endYou hope we’re all looking when you walk in the roomHope we’re all watching when you hang the moon

Wish in one hand shit in the other See which one fills up first for you brotherWishing that you could have nothing to hideIf wishes were horses we’d all get to ride

You wish you could live in the big house in townGive you the wealth so you can spread it aroundYou want us to know where you’ve gone and what you’ve seenWe’ll be the pawns, boy and you can play the king

Wish in one hand shit in the other See which one fills up first for you brotherThe envy of everyone you’re aching to beIf wishes had eyes then the blind man could see

You wish you could be everybody’s best friendKnow the whole story from beginning to end

Wish in one hand shit in the otherSee which one fills up first for you brotherI wish that I might you know I wish that I mayWish up a wind that would blow you away

Payback’s a BitchRed sky this morningWas not much of a warningFor what you had planned for meHell hath no furyShe’s the judge and she’s my juryShe pulled the worldRight out from under my feet

I’ll take it like a manNo need of feeling sorry for meBut you better understandKarma is about a step behind me

If I were you, I’d sleep with one eye openI’d keep praying keep hopingYou oughta be watching your backIf I were you, I’d be looking over my shoulder’Cause every day gets closer to what’s coming for youPayback’s a bitch

Don’t be so foolishAs to think you made it thru thisSmelling like a rose and fancy freeDon’t think you wrecked itI’ll get you when you least suspect itAnd tear down that old tangled web you weave

You’re looking at a manShining happy like a brand new pennyI bet you’re looking for a friendEverybody’s got a hand that’s empty

Woman in the MoonThe day I was born with both eyes wide openRunning when my feet hit the groundA little off-kilter just left of centerBent just a little out of round

The day will come when I’ll understand itEverything will be pure and clearUntil that day comes I guess I’ll keep searchingEverywhere between there and here

I’ve stepped beyond that horizonMy melody just out of tuneI have been blinded by the darkness of midnightI’ve always seen a woman in the moon

I’ve always let go of a tight grip on somethingHold it up just to see it fallStepped outside the circle never in the middleDig a mile to go under the wall

It seemed to me that when you stop lookingYou can always find what you needAny old wind can change your directionAs long as there’s a call that you heed

I’ve stepped beyond that horizonMy melody just out of tuneI have been blinded by the darkness of midnightI’ve always seen a woman in the moon

Too HighEvery day ain’t my dayEasy street don’t run my wayCross my heart and hope to spitThe gettin’s good tell ma’ what do I getFool me once fooled you twiceBy myself, paradiseRing my bell, time will tellSomeday soon I’m gonna give ’em hell

That mountain is too high for me to climbThe river is too deep and it’s too wideOutta sight outta mindI get this way from time to timeRight now it’s too high for me to climb

Fill my cup wish me luckTurn my frown right side upPills and meth kiss of deathPawn shop slip is all I’ve got left

That mountain is too high for me to climbThe river is too deep and it’s too wideYou get yours I’ll get mineAin’t no hurry got plenty of timeRight now it’s too high for me to climb

Let Me Help You (Find the Door)Why’s it got to be the same damn thingSame damn song that everybody wants to singSame sons of bitches still rigging the gameThey sell the same old faces with a brand new name

No matter if I’m wrong or rightI ain’t losing sleep tonight

I’ve heard it all beforeI can’t take it anymoreIf that’s all you gotLet me help you find the door

Here we go digging the same damn ditchJust line ’em up can’t tell ya which one is whichStanding in the back with a shit eatin’ grinThey were buying it once I bet they’ll buy it again

As long as it’s the devil you knowI bet he got a piece of your soul

I’ve heard it all beforeI can’t take it anymoreIf that’s all you gotLet me help you find the door

Holding All the RosesYou look like you’ve seen a ghostI don’t think it’s even gonna be closeYour rabbit’s foot and your four leaf cloverThrow them away and start all over

Here I am see me comin’ aroundSwinging out wide with the hammer downThere I go watch me leave you behindHolding all the roses on the other side

The odds against me were 20 to 1Carry that weight like it weighs a tonAin’t no luck in a gasoline rainbowCome on drop that rag away we go

Here I am see me comin’ aroundSwinging out wide with the hammer downThere I go watch me leave you behindHolding all the roses on the other side

Here I am ain’t a thing you can doThere I go it’s the end of the line

Living in the SongWatching the sun hit the bottomOf the evening skyAnother day over and tomorrowIn the bye and byeLooking at the same stars you can seeWherever you areI’d make a wish on ’em

But I don’t think it wouldGo that far

It’s like livin’ in the words of a songI’ve been runnin’ from the hurt for too longI don’t know how to say I was wrongAll I know is how to be gone

Tell me that the darkest hour’sJust before the dawnWhoever said that never spentSo many nights aloneI bury every bit of my heartbreakDeep inside’Cause lonesome finds me everywhereI try to hide

It’s like livin’ in the words of a songI’ve been runnin’ from the hurt for too longI don’t know how to say I was wrongAll I know is how to be gone

There ain’t always a happy endingWe ain’t in a fairytale

Rock and Roll AgainYou know she made me rock and roll againPut the swagger in my soul againPushed me back across the line againAnd put the writin’ on the wallLit a fire under my behindGot me high didn’t cost a dimeOne thing for certain I can tell ya my friend

My baby made me rock and roll againShe knows me wellIt never failsShe knows just how to put the windBack in my sailsShe got the key To set me freeIt’s just so easy to see

The way she made me rock and roll againPut the dirty in my mind againAin’t nothing to it boy she pulled me back inMy baby made me rock and roll again

She is the thrillUp on the hillShe keeps me moving when I Get to sittin’ stillIf I get slowShe lets me knowI got to get up and go because

She made me rock and roll againPut the rhythm in my stride againCalling to me like a long lost friendShe put the writin’ on the wallLit a fire under my behindGot me high didn’t cost a dimeOne thing for certain I can tell you my friendMy baby made me rock and roll again
