Strange Bird

She is a wild girl
But that’s alright because she’s living in a wild world
And she’s kinda like the queen bee
Swimming in cola like a strange bird
You don’t want to get close to
Yeah she’s a strange bird
And I should know because I thought I heard an angel
From down the road but it was you girl
Climbing up a tree and you were howlin’
I thought I heard you singing
I’m a princess and I’m a thief
I’ll make you laugh and leave you grief
Pay your ticket and get your keys
Cause I’m bored and I wanna go home
Cause I’m bored and I wanna go home
Cause I’m bored and I wanna go home
She is a wild one
But that’s ok because she’s living in a wild world
Where I’m the fly and she’s the spider
Fighting it out beneath your collar
I thought I heard her singing
I’m a princess and I’m a thief
I’ll make you laugh and leave you grief
Pay your ticket and get your keys
Cause I’m bored and I wanna go home
Cause I’m bored and I wanna go home
Cause I’m bored and I wanna go home

Valentine

Inside her feeble mind
She is spinning out of time
Like a hunter who’s gone blind
My valentine
Beside her velvet nest she humiliates the best
Couldn’t take no more I guess of my valentine
Valentine I killed my valentine
And I laughed until I cried for my valentine
Valentine I killed my valentine
And I shall gladly do the time for my valentine
Beneath the rugged skirt she does most of her work
Laughing while you hurt for my valentine
In the middle of every dream is a lie that holds you the key
To free you from what you think you need
Like my valentine
Valentine I killed my valentine
And I laughed until I cried for my valentine
Valentine I killed my valentine
And I shall gladly do the time for my valentine

The Terrible Sunrise
03:07
|

|
If you talk any faster with food in your teeth
I swear to god I’m gonna call the police
The sunrise ain’t pretty when you ain’t been to bed
Tomorrow is today instead
And I know where you wanna go
The devil has crawled inside your nose
I’ve run with you as far as I can go
Completely out of control
There’s another motherfucker knockin on your door
With four drunk girls who want to score
There’s a dangerous dollar rollin up in your hand
While your newlywed waits in bed
And I know where you wanna go
The devil has crawled inside your nose
I’ve run with you as far as I can go
Completely out of control

Visit Me in Music City

Visit Me in Music City
I was born at the Ryman Auditorium
During the Martha White portion of the Grand Ole Opry
Roy Acuff cut off my umbilical
And tied me off with his yo yo string
It was easy growing up for me in Nashville
Music City has always been good to me
There’s room for you and your cowboy boots
We’ll even get you a rhinestone suit
You don’t even have to sing on key
Producers with computers can fix it all in Nashville, Tennessee
So come and visit me in Music City
We’ll drink all night and write songs no one will sing
In pickup bars the country stars play Japanese guitars
Come and visit me in Nashville, Tennessee
The hills are filled with naked hee haw honeys
Who all sing along in perfect harmony
The world's greatest giving guitar pickers
Can deliver you a pizza or sell you weed
Guitars strings grow on shrubs and maple trees
Guitar picks dump a lot of gumball machines
Record deals fly in and out like happy bumble bees
The cops carry capos in case you wanna change your key
In Nashville, Tennessee
So come and visit me in Music City
We’ll drink all night and write songs no one will sing
In pickup bars the country stars play Japanese guitars
Come and visit me in Nashville, Tennessee

Your Favorite Hat

Your Favorite Hat
Your favorite hat
Don’t wanna give it back
Ain’t gonna give it back
Big brown floppy brim
The top is caving in
String around my chin
Your favorite hat
Slick with your sweat
Stuck to my head
Too shy to say too much to matter anyway
I got a target on top of me and I say
yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Your favorite hat
I know you want it back
You’re gonna get it back
Standing in my room
I see you on my shelf
I watched you watch myself
Dance around in my den
To music in my head
I hope you're peeking in
Too shy to say too much to matter anyway
I got a target on top of me and I say
Too shy to say too much to matter anyway
I got a target on top of me and I say
And I say
yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Feeling sick again
Laying in my bed
Covers over my head
And all that is left
A song of regret
Stuck in my head
I got a target on top of me

Don’t Follow Me (I’m Lost)
The spit in my eyes
And the blood on my shoes
Still don’t tell me much of what I was trying to prove
I am too lazy to really get angry
And you’re too sugar sweet to come along
Don’t follow me
Don’t follow me
Don’t follow me
Don’t follow me
I am lost
Whining quietly while at tenth and eighth
Wondering why you ain’t got nowhere to stay
You are too lazy to really get angry
If you don’t know where you are you might be lost
So don’t follow me
Don’t follow me
Don’t follow me
Don’t follow me
I am lost
La la la la

Let's Rock and Roll
04:06
|

|
I live in the floor of a minivan
Driven by drunks across this land
And I wake up in the worst part of your town
Drink free beer and sing until I fall down
Let’s rock and roll
Let’s rock and roll
Let’s rock and roll
Let’s rock and roll
Let’s rock and roll
There is vomit running down the walls
That vomit don’t care where it falls
And that vomit came out of someone
And that vomit should be cleaned up by someone
Let’s rock and roll (x4)
Cocaine coffee and queers
Can all be found down on that pier
And they all mean something special to someone
Snortin, snippin,or smoochin with someone
Let’s rock and roll
Let’s rock and roll
Let’s rock and roll
Let’s rock and roll
Let’s rock and roll

Borrow Your Girl
04:20

Hey brother could I borrow your girlfriend
Mine busted my cheatin heart in a collision last night
And yours looks pretty cool
I’m sure that she would do
Hey brother could I borrow your girlfriend tonight
Oh I hear that she’s as fast as a screaming needle
Hit in the ass by a Delta Jet Airplane
Yeah and she is looking as tight
As a red apple shiny and bright
Wrapped in transparent cellophane
And if you would let me unwrap her
I’d be grateful and return the favor someday
I won’t run the RPM’s too high
And we’ll wave as we pass by
And I promise not to ask her to stay
For I only have a one car garage
And you can’t leave something like that out in the yard
With her sway bars of stainless steel
The way she handles the way she feels
Hey brother could I borrow your girlfriend tonight

Things I Didn't Say
02:16

I didn’t say don’t do it babe
When she packed up to go
I didn’t say come back here honey and we’ll try it once more
And when she asked me if I loved her I just looked away
She is gone and now I’m hearing all the things I didn’t say
I didn’t say i'm sorry babe cause half the fault was mine
I didn't say we’ll work it out cause all we need is love faith and time
I said if that’s the way you want it I won't stand in your way
She is gone and now i’m hearing all the things I didn’t say
I did not say take off your coat I’ll make some coffee and we’ll talk
I didn't say the road away is such a long and lonely endless walk
I said goodbye good luck god bless you and she slipped away
And left me here to live with all the things I did not say
I didn't take her in my arms and kiss away her tears
I didn't say my life don't mean a thing if you ain't here
I thought of all the many games that i'd be free to play
But all I do is listen to the things I didn't say

Your Adorable Beast
03:20

I look cute at the end of your leash your adorable beast
As I salivate on your shoes obedient true
Loyal through and through
A fuzzy reflection of you
If you are wounded I will lick it
If you feed me I won’t forget it
If I mess up just rub my nose in it
You let me out to step around do my business and stretch out
And I always come running when you call
I look cute at the end of your leash your adorable beast (x2)
I was lost when you found me
Half crazy and mangy
You cleaned me up and i'm here for good
If I run away will you miss me
Search the through the streets for me
Cause I will be looking for you
I look cute at the end of your leash your adorable beast
I look cute at the end of your leash your adorable beast
I look cute at the end of your leash your adorable beast
And if I growl well I don’t mean it
And if I bark just give me a kick
And when I whine pay me no mind
Cause I'm just missing you
I’ll chase your enemies away
Lick your mama on the fae
I’ll only wag my tail when I'm with you
I’ll follow you anywhere around
To every part of town
Show me off like a new tattoo
I look cute at the end of your leash your adorable beast
I look cute at the end of your leash your adorable beast
I look cute at the end of your leash your adorable beast
And I come running to you
And I come running to you
And I come running to you
And I come running to you
As I come running to

Beguiled Bashful Burnt
03:42
|
|||
|
Those secrets that you keep
Dissipate eventually
To make room for more to come
Your black eyes can’t see
What’s been done
The Tennessee wind
Blew you back home again
With popsicle kisses
That feel like frozen piss
Melting on my tongue
Stuck in my throat
Like a gun
I often wish that I could breathe
That clock says it’s time for you to leave
If that’s the best you can do then your heart is a crooked screw
That will never fit in no matter how hard you twist
beguiled, beguiled, beguiled, bashful and burnt
