I don’t know what i was on, but honey i’m off it now
When we were together our love was true
though we had a couple fights like young lovers do
I told you i was sorry, there’s no way i could lie
because without my one and only i think i’d rather die
If i’d a treated you babe, like i treated myself
you know you’d never have the notion to put me back on the shelf
I don’t know what i was on, but honey i’m off it now
Lately i’ve been thinking, solitary drinking
wondering if your going out with someone else this weekend
You said you wanted a change, you said you wanted to part
but honey all we need is a second start
When you gave me your hand, sometimes i pushed it away
but if you gave it back i’d hold it constantly
now i know the reason, the problem was me
i’ve been stuck in the mash since two-thousand and three
i don’t know what i was on, but honey i’m off it now

On Yer Own

Where does all the time go, when your all on yer own?
Time moves so slow yeah we’re all on our own
But that just gives more time to live
people take and people give it away
Where does all the time go
when you’re all on yer own?
Where will all my stuff go
when i’m gone from this world?
Things will come and they will go
when yer gone from this world
But that just gives more joy to bring
so take my song and make it ring, make it sing
Where does all the time go when yer all on yer own?

So It Seems

When I was a young man long ago
I was living life from show to show
then you held me in your arms
it was like a dream
the rest is history, or so it seems
There’s nothing we can do to change the past
for the memories we shared should always last
now the only time i see you is in my dreams
the rest is history or so it seems
or so it seems, or so it seems
as i spend another night without you
or so it seems
Now its one year later I’m still standing by the door
staring at the driveway hoping that your car will show
Now its one year later I’m still holding on to your ring
the rest is history or so it seems or so it seems,
or so it seems
As i spend another night without you
spend another night without you baby
spend another night without you
or so it seems

Candy Jail

Pain works on a sliding scale
so does pleasure in a candy jail
true love doesn't come around
any more than fate allows
on a Monday in Ft. Lauderdale
I came all this way to see your grave
to see your life as written paraphrased
I have tried be it is written in the furnace of affliction
this is what you couldn't face
Life in a candy jail with peppermint bars
peanut brittle bunk beds and marshmallow walls
Where the guards are gracious and the grounds are grand
And the warden keeps the data on your favorite brands
Jelly beans and cookie dough country restroom on a radio
I got a number on my name it's hard to rise above the shame
I'm a branded man made in the mold
These terms engulf the waking mind
Like cherry, grape, and lemon-lime
Like candy corn and licorice
Like bubble gum and Swedish fish
It happens to me all the time
Living in a candy jail with peppermint bars
peanut brittle bunk beds and marshmallow walls
Where the guards are gracious and the grounds are grand
and the warden really listens and he understands

Ciao, Bella

When you wake up and know its time to go
you can't take up pockets of silver and gold
swimming in a lake of fire weighed down with desire is what you choose
burn a bridge down tonight, dance around the ashes
When you make up a bed to call your own
it can stir up all these thoughts that we have a home
you can keep on running round as I lay myself down to sleep
light the big one tonight, dance around the ashes
If your dog barks, better throw that dog a bone
But if your dog bites, better check its mouth for foam
we can let our guards fall down when there's people hanging round and get used
get held up by the man you lent your shoes
little children taught to forgive and forget
little children don't fear your fate just yet
the writings in the dirt you can see those ants at work
they hunt for live through blindless strife and tears
swimming in a lake of fire weighted down with desire is what you choose
burn a bridge down tonight, dance around the ashes

Reputation Tour
02:18

Well the reputation tour i’ve been on these days is filled with twists and turns
back stabbing front stabbing short sighted people giving out ethereal burns
Well if you’re like me and I know I am you know the dark side of the moon
is brighter than the heart of the haters you meet when you’re living in perpetual doom
Well since i moved to Nashville its been a rollercoaster everyday
got my house broken into, my guitars stolen, and my car got destroyed yesterday
my wife ran off with another man and my girlfriend won’t call me back
this life i’m living is sure to lead to a broken heart attack
Well if you’re like me and i know i am you know the dark side of the moon
is brighter than the heart of the haters you meet when you're living in perpetual doom
It's harder than the heart of the haters you meet living in perpetual doom
when you're living in perpetual doom
It's harder than the heart of the haters you meet
living in perpetual doom

Angel Baby
03:19

I got down on my knees and I started to pray
looked up at the sky and I started to say o send me, an angel baby
I stood back up and I looked thru the trees
a woman and her dogs were staring back at me
I said save me my little angel baby
When you coming back to see me?
You know it always soothes my mind to talk to you til my face
gets blue from drinking all your wine
Well it won’t be long til your bags are packed
when you walk out that door girl don’t look back unless maybe, its at my corner baby
because once we were just neighbors, now we’re more than friends
I wonder if I’ll see her in my dreams ever again
I got down on my knees and I started to pray
looked up at the sky and I started to say oh send me, an angel baby
and you sent me an angel baby

Pig On A Train

Well I locked all the doors, closed all the blinds, went into whats left of our room and cried
for a month and a week I was dead
Got down on my knees and I looked to the sky, Jupiter was rising to a new moon light
for a month and a week I'm alive
Now maybe it was all for the best not long ago you said you'd spend the rest of your life next to me
Then you changed your mind and away with mine
said you needed space you wanted some time
to live your life far away from me one day will find you in misery
We were walking thru the alley right beside the Ryman
you got two tickets because I couldn't buy one
the seats were obstructed view but Laura knew what to do
when I saw you from across the room I thought we were home
then you changed your mind treated me unkind
taking the notion to see what else you can find
look high and low the only thing you will see
is your true love waiting in misery

Entire album is excellent. As is the rest of the catalog. Go back to 1970...take the Dead and Floyd and roll them up. Yet completely different. Just plain old GOOD MUSIC.
