North of Alabama by mornin' from north Hollywood
The diesel will burn and the wheels will wiggle like worms
it smells like a wet monkey sweating in a leather suit
North of Alabama by mornin' from North Holly wood
0h 0h 0h were going home
Speeding right through new Mexico
0h 0h 0h were going home
Am I holding the steering wheel or is it holding me.
The transmission is slipping like a pigeon through a Tigers teeth
The lines on the road swim like a dog drowning in the sea
Am I holding the steering wheel or is it holding me
0h 0h 0h were going home
Speeding right through new Mexico
0h 0h 0h were going home

If She Cared

If she cared where I was then I wouldn't be here right now
If she cared where I was then I'd be right back where I really want to be
Fucking around to the sound of the sad songs that make her so happy
If she cared where I was then I wouldn't be doing were about to do
If she cared where I was then I'd be doing with her what I've been doing with you
And I know that you know because your silence is screaming at me
That girl from Mississippi got no use for me

The Big Time

You're going to miss me after I hit the big time
You won't see me around here no more
You're going to miss me after I hit the big time
I'm going to go get brand-new famous friends
And don't bother phoning me after you see me on TV
My old phone number you know I had to have it changed
You can wave at me from your balcony seats
But these bright lights have made me blind
You won't recognize me after I hit the big time
Because my Asian stylist will be in complete control
I'm going to speak so differently after I hit the big time
Because this Southern drawl is just dragging me down
And don't bother phoning me after you see me on TV
My old phone number you know I had to have it changed
You can wave at me from your balcony seats
But these bright lights have made me blind
You can't hurt me no more after I hit the big time
Because I will be far away only caring about myself
And if you see me on the street and you try to talk to me
I'll say you have mistaken me for someone else
You have completely mistaken me for someone else
And don't bother phoning me after you see me on TV
My old phone number you know I had to have it changed
You can wave at me from your balcony seats
But these bright lights have made me blind

Don't Wanna Know

There's a calmness in the way you ask
Don't want to know I don't want to know
There's a baby crying in your lap
Don't want to know I don't want to know
You keep looking out the door
And I keep staring at the floor
I saw the message that you wrote
I don't want to know I didn't want to know
Georgia is too far from home
I don't want to know I don't want to know
Our baby thinks you live in a phone
He just don't know he just don't know
There's slobber all over the phone
He just don't know he just don't know
Please come back to Tennessee
Second best is good enough for me

The Elegant Imposter

You must be the imposter such an elegant imposter
You look so much like her but your words are in reverse
Was she running or did she crawl
Out from the house through burning walls
And if she feels anything but Numb
Please tell her we're all waiting patiently back home

Undefeated

I so adore your indifference it's like missing a ghost
Who is stepping right through you while headed back home
Repeat repackage rekindle just trying to get through
Learning to dance with the feeble stumbling parts of you
Undefeated
She's undefeated
She just ain't gonna to feel it
There will be no signs of emotion as she's slipping away
Whatever your devotion she's well hidden away
Undefeated
She's undefeated
She just ain't gonna to feel it

He comes stumbling to the door with his bottle in hand
Screaming while he's crying Now he's laughing again
Collapses on the couch in my den
Closes his eyes while his mumbling
Makes a mess of everything and you don't care
Rolls around the kitchen in his underwear
Screaming all day -crying all night
Why am I all wrong while he's alright
My baby took my baby away
With his itty-bitty boots and his big fat face
I'm a long gone lonely daddy
While my baby took my baby away
Things have changed since he moved in
I'm so in love with you but you only love him
I'm getting jealous and I can't understand
How I lost you to this little man
He's short he's sweet so many things I'll never be
But you are my wife while I play second fiddle for the rest of my life
My baby took my baby away
With his itty-bitty boots and his big fat face
I'm a long gone lonely daddy
While my baby took my baby away
He ain't got no job and he don't pay no rent
He just lays there giggling with slobber all over his chin
He has never told you a lie he has never made you sad enough to cry
You say his round belly is so fine and then you make fun of mine
My baby took my baby away
With his itty-bitty boots and his big fat face
I'm a long gone lonely daddy
While my baby took my baby away

From wild and crazy to mild and lazy
In less time than it takes to get shot from the hit
From Wild and crazy too mild and lazy
In less time than it takes to sink the whole damn ship
And I'm going to blame everybody
Oh yes I'm going to blame everybody
But myself
If you leave something good just lying around
Somebody else just my pick it up
You love me so little I did not notice that you had stopped
You loved me so little I did not notice
And I'm going to blame everybody
Oh yes, I'm going to blame everybody
I'm going to blame everybody
(He's going to blame everybody)
I'm going to blame everybody
(He's going to blame everybody)
Everybody but myself

As forever became never again
Your soft blue eyes were rolling to the back of your head
The future was over before it began
As forever became never again
As forever became never again
Welcome to the beginning of the end
Don't you look at me like I'm a fish swimming in the dirt
Making up or breaking up I can't tell you which one is worse
Forever became never again
What's going to be collided with what might have been
The sound flew in like a drunk honey bee
It was whispering in our ears
'Til our ears began to bleed
Whispering in our ears
'Til our ears began to bleed

She heats the water into steam
She breathes and slowly brings it to steam
Looking over her shoulder he knows just what she told him
But it's hard to believe it's true
Looking over her shoulder he knows just what she told him
but the stick is turning blue
She breathes for him
She heats the water into steam
She breathes and slowly brings it to steam
Looking over her shoulder he knows just what she told him
But it's hard to believe it's true
Looking over her shoulder he knows just what she told him
but the stick is turning blue
She breathes for him
