I'm still drivin' when's this break gunna come, Back my picking with a big ole timpani drum Stole shelter from the storm Night my cousin's baby was born Some say I'm a wild man Drink too much nectar from the corn I'm still drivin' when's this break gunna come, Back my picking with a big ole timpani drum Oh the school it wasn't for me Earned my stripes a different way Learned to sing harmony And go play out on the stage I'm still drivin' when's this break gunna come, Back my picking with a big ole timpani drum I'm still drivin', I'm still drivin', I'm still drivin', I'm still drivin' yaaaaaa I'm a still, I'm a still, I'm a still, I'm a still drivin', Still, still, still, I'm a still driver Still, I'm a still, I'm a still, I'm a still driver Still, still, still, I'm a still driver

Ain't just how you dance it's how you fall Stood taller than the rest, held your alcohol Watched you run the bar, win in pool Stealing all those hearts and money, taking them to school Wait for me darlin', luck is on my side I wanna see you rise in the morning, Lay you down tonight If next time never comes, I'll be the one, I'll be the one When all is said and done, I'll be the one, I'll be the one Well it's not the night to watch you walk on by Go home all alone without a try Oh I can be your kind of guy Whatever that is cold, sweet, shy Wait for me darlin', luck is on my side I wanna see you rise in the morning, Lay you down tonight If next time never comes, I'll be the one, I'll be the one When all is said and done, I'll be the one, I'll be the one Am I rolling the dice, making an easy bet? Is it too good to be true? No regrets just yet Oh your elegance and grace The odds are in your favor when you wear those heels and lace Wait for me darlin', luck is on my side I wanna see you rise in the morning, Lay you down tonight Wait for me darlin', luck is on my side I wanna see you rise in the morning, Lay you down tonight If next time never comes, I'll be the one, I'll be the one When all is said and done, I'll be the one, I'll be the one I'll be the one I'll be the one I'll be the one I'll be the one

Ain't the highest you'll ever climb It's the farthest you'll ever see You're as young as you'll ever be Might be the ripest on the farm, Might be the brightest bulb in the barn Well there's more seed left to sow, Such little time to call your own Such little time My old man, wild as me Tried to teach me better 'round twenty-three Where were you when I was sixteen and all alone? You were high as you ever flown Well you fight those demons 'til the end They'll come screaming against the wind You fight those demons 'til the end They'll come screaming Again and again, Again and again Ain't the highest you'll ever climb It's the farthest you'll ever see You're as young as you'll ever be You're as young as you'll ever be You're as young as you'll ever be

If I get to heaven, better roll me some sevens, Cause right now my ticket's punched for hell You rage and fade, I miss too many Sundays Lord if you hear me I could surely use some help Cause I like to ride the lightning, They ain't gunna hang me from a tree Cause the things I've done ain't hurt no one The only one that's hurting is me The only one that's hurting is me Grand Central Station sounded better than graduation Packed my bags, so long I'm on a train Headed to Atlanta, I might shoot down to Savannah Whatever I choose to do I'll be free I like to ride the lightning, They ain't gunna hang me from a tree Cause the things I've done ain't hurt no one The only one that's hurting is me The only one that's hurting is me Oh the things I've done ain't hurt no one Only one that's hurting is me The only one that's hurting is me... Yeah! I like to ride the lightning, They ain't gunna hang me from a tree Cause the things I've done ain't hurt no one The only one that's hurting is me The only one that's hurting is me Oh the things I've done ain't hurt no one Only one that's hurting is me The only one that's hurting is me

Saddle 04:30
Riding the trail alone it ain't my style, Not even for a country mile Ride, ride, on this saddle, my saddle It's a beautiful night, the air is right, On this saddle, my saddle Saw you standing there, Looking so lonely down by the cabin Your long dark hair, It drew me in like a fountain Ride babe, let's ride, on this saddle, my saddle It's a beautiful night babe, the air is right babe, On this saddle, my saddle Traveling together on this ole filly sharing the stars Souls tied as one, ride any trail the night is ours Ride, ride on this saddle, my saddle It's a beautiful night babe, the air is right babe, On this saddle, my saddle Ride, ride on this saddle, my saddle It's a beautiful night babe, the wind is right babe, On this saddle, my saddle Ride, ride on this saddle, my saddle It's a beautiful night babe, the wind is right babe, On this saddle, my saddle

Said you make it better if you head out west, Oh there's a life you've been counting on Tell me now what's been holding you back? Who the hell are you afraid of? We can chase the setting sun, Run the race 'til it's won but you can't turn back Once you're gone Once you're gone The problem isn't where you are California ain't that far It's when you wanna go Now we can dream our lives away, put it off until someday We wake up tired and old We can chase the setting sun, Run the race 'til it's won but you can't turn back Once you're gone Once you're gone Once you're gone Once you're gone If we never even try we'll be asking ourselves why Our dreams never came along Oh but you can't turn back once you're gone Once you're gone, oh you're gone Yeah once you're gone, yeah once you're gone Once you're gone, you're gone, oh you're gone, you're gone, You're gone, you're gone, you're gone

Marfa Lights 03:48
The blue light it matched her dress With her eyes she said hello I was struck I must confess I didn't know how far we'd go Our love was running with the Marfa lights for miles, for miles yeah Our love was running with the Marfa lights for miles, for miles Those dark sunglasses hide the way you feel You bite your tongue I speak my mind In the dark like a midnight train You're flying blind we were flying blind Our love was running with the Marfa lights for miles, for miles yeah Our love was running with the Marfa lights for miles, for miles Split my heart gave half to her Sold what's left to the road I ripped my chest right in two I tore my heart from my soul Our love was running with the Marfa lights for miles, for miles yeah Our love was running with the Marfa lights for miles, for miles yeah Our love was running with the Marfa lights for miles, for miles yeah Our love was running with the Marfa lights for miles, for miles Our love was running with the Marfa lights for miles, for miles yeah Our love was running with the Marfa lights for miles

If I were to walk down this road would I find you? Waiting there for me to stop the noise and break on through Oh I could always call but that ain't the same I'll be there soon I'll be there soon Out here in the hills I can see the plains where you reside Safe from all the thrills living like a saint with nothing to hide Oh I could always run, oh I could always fly I'll be there soon I'll be there soon Oh I'll be there soon Be there soon We'll tell all of your friends that you're running late I'll be there soon I'll be there soon Yeah I'll be there soon Be there soon Be there soon Be there soon Be there soon Be there soon

Well I'm falling off the tracks Going places I never should be Well I found my righteous path but out here it's me Don't leave me hanging out on the line Don't leave me hanging out on the line I'm preparing to lose my mind while I'm trying to make you mine Don't leave me hanging out on the line We give it a break Lose a little time Let's see if our hearts take Mine is yours and yours is mine Don't leave me hanging out on the line Don't leave me hanging out on the line I'm preparing to lose my mind while I'm trying to make you mine Don't leave me hanging out on the line We trade our guilt for shame Leave the past behind Why don't you take my last name? Be my spirit and my guide Don't leave me hanging out on the line Don't leave me hanging out on the line I'm preparing to lose my mind while I'm trying to make you mine Don't leave me hanging out on the line Don't leave me hanging out on the line Don't leave me hanging out on the line I'm preparing to lose my mind while I'm trying to make you mine Don't leave me hanging out on the line

Let It Burn 03:30
In my mind I'll always see you I'll always feel you standing there With the same cotton dress you wore when I first met you I recall the sunlight in your hair Can a dream break your heart? Can it tear your world apart? Let the flame light the fire Let it burn through wild desire Let it burn Let it burn Let it burn In my life I know I'll miss ya All the times I should've kissed ya Locked away in some old drawer It takes time to mend a soul And we've both been growing old And you don't live here anymore Can a dream break your heart? Can it tear your world apart? Let the flame light the fire Let it burn through wild desire Let it burn Let it burn Let it burn Oooohhhhh Let it burn Let it burn Let it burn Let it burn Let it burn Let it burn Let it burn Go on it burn Let it burn Let it burn Let it burn Let it burn Go on it burn Let it burn Let it burn Let it burn Let it burn Ooooohhh

My Gospel 04:32
Son are you weary with the troubles in life? So you take your heartache with a glass of wine? Are you haunted by the ghost you know? Pay them off with kindness, the debt you owe Father are you tired? Full of despair? Fish out of water, gasping for air? At the mercy of your troubled soul? Prop up a ladder, pay your toll This is my gospel This is my truth Soul keeps wading in the fountain of youth You should listen to the good news This is my gospel This is my truth Wealth of the world has been compressed With hard times for the rest We're survivors of blood and lead Ain't got no answer, ask Him instead This is my gospel This is my truth Soul keeps wading in the fountain of youth You should listen to the good news This is my gospel This is my truth Mama come and join me in the tower Where the king and queen hold the power Break out the dresses, I'll wear a suit Lord just tell me what I should do This is my gospel This is my truth Soul keeps wading in the fountain of youth You should listen to the good news This is my gospel This is my truth Oh this is my gospel And this is my truth
