Sad Day
Its a sad day
Such a sad day
A sad day when I woke up alone
Can't hear your voice babe
Callin' on my telephone
Im a loner
Im a loner
Walkin' down this highway alone
Got nothing left
Nothing left to call my own
Its the same thing
Its the same thing
The same thing every single night
Can't hold my head up
Don't know which way is right
Its a sad day
Such a sad day
A sad day when I woke up alone
Can't hear your voice babe
Callin' on my telephone
Can't hear your voice babe
Callin' on my telephone
Can't hear your voice babe...
CA Asshole
Beverly Hills don’t mean nothing to me
Keep all your silicone and fake palm trees
Im from the middle of nowhere you say
Just a wasteland with your shopping malls
Tall skyscrapers and concert halls
The real america don’t lie in L.A.
chorus
Im just a California Asshole
With my head high in the smog
I don’t care much about nothing
But my gold and my trophy wife
Don’t got no trust fund, no BMW
Just got my soul babe that’s more than you
Take my advise babe you'll thank me someday
Hollywood's always playin for keeps
You young girls getting sucked in for fre
You’re here today babe and gone the next night
chorus
Im just a California Asshole
With my head high in the smog
I don’t care much about nothing
But my gold and my trophy wife
Threw it away down in Hollywood
Threw it away down in Hollywood
Threw it away down in Hollywood
Open Road
The sun is setting on another day
Ran in and grabbed a six pack
It'll be okay
Sick and tired of people doing me wrong
Crank up ol' Waylon
And I sing along
Some people like the high society life
Running round spending money
No end in sight
I keep it simple every day
Got my beer and my guitar at the
End of the way
chorus
Can't wait to get back
To the confines of home
Stereo in the basement
And a six string song
Take your time
When nothing seems to change
You gotta climb back to the top
Take your soul
And wash it away
Let the music never stop
Been making it up along the way
No sense of direction
Just slipping away
Sick and tired of people doing me wrong
I crank up ol' Willie
And I sing along
chorus
Take your time
When nothing seems to change
You gotta climb back to the top
Take your soul
And wash it away
Let the music never stop
Needs and Wants
Been think'n about a change in direction
Heading to a place I know I'm not going
Think'n about make'n a big noise and
just staying where I am
In the end I may lie poor and broken
Looking out the window at views that
never change
chorus
Some of us have everything, then we want some more
Some of us want peace, others want war
Some of us want drugs, or to be somebody else
Some of us want it like it use to be, others like it never
will
The sunlight poors through this window frame
reminiscent of brighter days gone past
should get going but guess it can wait
gonna leave soon, sink my roots back into the ground
Now the evening is the loneliest time of day
once heard a great man say
I'm gunna pour another drink and watch the sun go down
In the end I may be all alone
Looking out the window at views that never
change
chorus
Most of us are crazy, some of us are sane
Some of us are aware, while others feel no pain
Some of us want to smile, some love to cry
Some of us want to live while others would rather die
The keys are on the wall
Take the car and have a ball
I'll be staying here today
I'm in the place I want to stay
In the place I want to stay
When you know the truth
I thought I could live with a lie until it
died
I thought I could live lord knows I've
tried
I thought it would fade like a tear drop
from the eye
Evaporate and climb into the
sky
chorus
It ain't easy when you know the truth
It ain't easy when you don't know what to do
And it isn't easy living without you
It ain't easy when you know the truth
I've made my choices and now I live
with them
But lately I feel like I'm running in sand
I lost love and I lost a best friend
chorus
It ain't easy when you know the truth
It ain't easy when you don't know what to do
And it ain't easy living without you
It ain't easy when you know the truth

Random Woman
Got my mind hazy
Got my soul just right
Damn it'd be sure good to lay with you tonight
Don’t got no diamond ring
Got no fancy fancy car
Just got what's left of my soul
And that don’t last too long
chorus
It's closing time
Got you on my mind
Don't know your name
But your sure looking fine
Don’t tell know lies
I know you’ve been there before
Just pay my tab and lets walk out the door
It's 2am now
But the nights still young
Gonna find that pretty girl
To come on and get me some
I don’t look hasty
But I don’t feel right
Just got my Budweiser grin
And that don’t last all night
chorus
It's closing time
I got you on my mind
Don’t know your name
But your sure looking fine
Tell no lies
I know you’ve been there before
Just pay my tab, and let's walk out the door
Just pay my tabl, and let's walk out the door
Just pay my tab, and let's walk out the door
Skyline
Skyline on the horizon
The sun is setting on the sea
It cast a shadow on the pictures'
That were meant for you and me
Another night, another long one
Searching in an empty hole
Ain't no use denying
You throw it all away once more
chorus
So if your going to
Downtown tonight
And trying to drink it all away
Spend all my money
To wash up on shore
'Til I cant feel my soul no more
The world is turning on it's head
Ain't no excuse for living a lie
Lying on the floor and wasted
Asking my lord oh why
Another night, Another long one
Searching in an empty hole
Ain't no use denying
You throw it all away once more
chorus
So if your going to
Downtown tonight
Trying to drink it all away
Spend all my money
To wash up on shore
Till I cant feel my soul no more
Skyline on the horizon
Sun is setting on the sea
Cast a shadow on the pictures
That were meant for you and me
It's another night, another long one
Searching in an empty hole
Ain't no use denying
You throw it all away once more
chorus
If your going to
Downtown tonight
And trying to drink it all away
Spend all my money
To wash up on shore
'Till I cant feel my soul no more
Mountain Home
A clear blue day and the warmth of the sun
Waves crashing in all night long
Another daydream, and another song
Feel im back at home again
Back where everything began
chorus
In my ozark mountain home
That's where i always belong
Clear blue day and the warmth of the sun
In my ozark mountain home
Theres no place that id rather be
Mountain river's gonna flow to the sea
Build that future for you and me
Feel i'm back at home again
Back where everything began
chorus
In my ozark mountain home
Thats where i always belong
Clear blue day and the warmth of the sun
In my ozark mountain home
Oh i'm never
Going home
Oh i'm never
Growin' old
Whoa im never
Goin' home
Whoa i'm never
Growin' old
Big Business & Politicians
Politicians,
Spending all this money it's out of control
Might as well grab the dice and give 'em a roll
Bashing each other in prime time
Special interests filippin' the dime
Front runner has 10 million in the bank
Next one back already has eight
Election's closing in only two years away
Already see your face too many times a day
chorus
Capitol hill it's prime real estate
The hightest bidder can participate
Have the deepest pockets odds are you'll win
Be the biggest backer your agendas in
You want my vote you want my support
Take that money and give it to the poor
Shake my hand, look me in the eye
It's all that's needed to decide
When Big Business is pushin' your pen
Is it hard to believe what comes off the end
Who's running this show, think we should know
Doesn't matter red or blue question is what's
in it for you
chorus
Capitol hill it's prime real estate
The highest bidder can participate
Have the deepest pockets odds are you'll win
Be the biggest backer your agenda's in
Cold weather & the blues
Bent down this morning to tie my shoes
I had no laces, didn't know what to do
Put my change in my pockets they had
no ends
My change fell through
Got cold weather & the blues
chorus
On a blood red moon cold weather & the blues
On a blood red moon cold weather & the blues
Esibi you know your life will change
Reserve patience not your haste
Esibi you know your life will change
Esibi just not today
Used to keep my money in a bank but they
closed my account
Just couldn't keep up that minimum amount
Now it's kept up in a book upon my shelf
chorus
On a blood red moon cold weather & the blues
On a blood red moon cold weather & the blues
Esibi you know your life will change
Reserve patience not your haste
Esibi you know your life will change
Esibi just not today
Even the losers get lucky sometimes they
say
but my luck just stays the same every single day
I just don't know any other way
It didn't change today, no it will always be this
way
On a blood red moon cold weather & the blues
On a blood red moon cold weather & the blues
