Happy birthday babe I wanna feel the danger Cigarette smoke and perfume Fire fightin the wind I want the touch of a stranger Make my way across the room Neon lights are drawing me To the night to the night Heat in my bones Beat on the drum All my money on a feeling a face in the crowd Feet off the ground Two steppin on the ceiling I can feel you dancing I Want the wheels to fall off Stray cat down the alley Street light shining on your shadow Glory hanging from the heavens Oh it’s crashing Weightless on your shoulder Heat in my bones Beat on the drum All my money on a feeling Just a face in the crowd Feet off the ground Two steppin on the ceiling I can feel you dancing Neon lights are drawing me To the night To the night Keep on while the city sleeps Here and now Crack a smile Heat in my bones Beat on the drum All my money on a feeling Just a face in the crowd Feet off the ground Two steppin on the ceiling I can feel you dancing

Good Times 03:49
She’s always leaving early And she always shows up late She’s a good one still trying, lets no good time slip away Gives a bear hug in the morning Breaks up fights outside of bars Takes her whiskey neat her coffee cheap And never liked her scars He's wrestled down his demons Broke the fall of all his friends Quotes the Bible and the Koran has the heart of fifteen men Never wonders what you’re doin Never needs the words to say There’s some good ones still trying Lets no good time slip away Let no good time slip away Keep on tryin 1 Slow danced with an opera singer On the stage after the show Prays the same prayer every supper Rolls his cigarettes real slow Keeps a knife inside her pocket Keeps a pen inside her coat Keeps her words close to her heart Keeps that letter that she wrote He can calm a newborn baby Saved his own life in a flood Been tied up by Chinese pirates Spent the night in his own blood Hung a hammock in the jungle Loved one woman all his days There’s some good ones still trying Lets no good time slip away Let no good time slip away Keep on tryin Punched a hammerhead in hog sty she was looking for a fight Only tells her stories if you Stay up late into the night Danced for rain with the Apache Had hell’s angels on his side Took confession from a cardinal Held him down and made him cry The first one you call on The last one by your side Hugs the soldiers in the airport Not one for long goodbyes He’s not afraid of cryin Never one to look for praise There’s some good ones still trying Lets no good time slip away Let no good time slip away Keep on tryin

Wonder 04:58
I'm sipping on cheap coffee listening to 'Graceland' wondering if you'll write me wondering why my life is like that sad old country song that my family used to hum to and I'm working on a letter that I will never send you I'm riding in your pickup on our way to bedlam taking in the moonlight waiting for the rain to come crash down on our arms we won't roll the windows up As 'it stoned me' stamps this tree line That memory of us I've taken every back road I probably shouldn't take I've wasted my time and let time waste away my days Should I let go of the wonder? I’ll find it out beyond the trees Take away whatever bottled memory you had of me take the sorrow and the poison I dreamt that I might need take the battered broken parts I thought that I might be leave them there among the wreckage make it easier to see take the drunken spirit calling take the reasons that I left take the mistake of the fallen take the couch and take the chest take away whatever hope I had of ever feeling I've taken every back road I probably shouldn't take I've wasted my time and let time waste away my days Should I let go of the wonder? I’ll find it out beyond the trees I need something to hold onto dead leaves bare feet our eyes were true we can’t unsee that field of view I’m writing you a letter that I will never send you I need something to hold onto

Count On Me 02:40
This world can take you Need an arm round your neck Somebody you can talk to When it shakes you When no one else will say it And you need to hear the truth Let it break you Let it help you lay down what you held onto Scared to fail you Clock is counting down And I think I got everything to prove Been a friend of trouble After losing it all I’ve got nothing else to lose Let it break you Let it help you lay down what you held onto You can count on me I can count on you To help you lay down what you held onto
6.
All my life I tried to let you go Would you stay Time is growing shorter You’re reaching for your keys Half moon light over your shoulder In the canyon that you made Soak my hands in gasoline I can’t wash it clean Bathe my days in revelry I can’t wash it clean Wake up with a howl It’s too late to turn back now All my life I tried to let you go Would you stay There’s one road out They open for a season Colder days are coming Along with all your reasons Soak my hands in gasoline I can’t wash it clean Bathe my days in revelry I can’t wash it clean Wake up with a howl It’s too late to turn back now Too late to look back now All my life I tried to let you go Would you stay Loose the dust from your shoes The weight of your crown Whatever road you choose Just stay above the ground

Enemies 03:33
Burn a candle out for me Sit and watch it til you sleep Hear the cracking of the flame Try your best to say my name Cut that name into a tree Cut it slow and make it deep Feel the warmth inside it speak Try your best to hear me breathe We should’ve been Enemies Hear you singing in your sleep Song of the night bird calling me Spread its wings out like a flame Try my best to say your name Saw that bird up in that tree Where you carved out names so deep Feel the warmth inside it speak Try my best to hear you breathe We should’ve been enemies Break the bones of something dead Feel it hold on to what is left Let the earth it's on give way Try to bury what we've made

Interlude 00:39

mama had to get away spare herself a little shame just enough to get by just enough to get by A lonely lovely little girl Born into a broken world Just enough to get by Just enough to get by you can stay out of town for a couple of days a couple of months til the storm blows away If silence is golden I know a lot of wealthy women Buying what’s been sold them Buy anything but freedom dug a hole down in the floor hide her hurt a little more just enough to get by just enough to get by Hears a stranger call her name Tells herself she's not to blame Just enough to get by Just enough to get by if you feel sorry for yourself just give it a rest forgive and forget, all works out for the best If silence is golden I know a lot of wealthy women Buying what’s been sold them Buy anything but freedom you know people they will believe only what you let them see so tell them what they want to hear how much better that you feel and they’ll give you just enough to get by

Martingales 04:07
You’re still stuck in the dream you were having Coffee’s already cold by now Pretty girls are still fixing their makeup Pink flamingos in martingales What a sound Break away break away from it Break away If yesterday is too heavy Put it down I’m on a run Coming undone I’m still stuck in the dream I woke up in Outside I hear the salt hit the icy ground All the boys are still fighting back tears Fathers’ words in their ears What a sound break away Break away from it Break away If yesterday is too heavy Put it down If yesterday is too heavy Bound to break that levy Put it down I’m on a run Coming undone
11.
My baby awake in the night Desert moonlight blankets the floor Waiting with no end in sight keeping her eyes Fixed on the door I promised I’d find you wherever you are Wherever you are Here I am You’ll never be alone again Traveled so far Wished on a lone star Caught in between The storm raging before us Walls cannot hold us From sea to shining sea Nothing can keep me away I promised I’d find you wherever you are Wherever you are Here I am You’ll never be alone again

Friends 03:55
I got some friends with trouble sleeping At a full moon howling like a beast they fall in line with what their instincts tell them To make it worth the hurt they’re feeling Like spirits in the night we walk With the winter’s shadows lost Fill these cozy bars with talk Of what we need and what we’ve lost Waking up to this Just like I knew I would I know the work is hard I know the struggle’s good I guess it didn’t work Quite like we thought it would I’ve got some friends that roll with punches Can make a struggle feel like a waltz with loved ones And help you shake your hands with demons Before they help you make them leave you And with their arms around my shoulder To make my head and my heart feel bolder And help me feel the love I'm holding And let go of the pain I’ve got some friends that swim in oceans In the middle of the winter’s coldest Days and bare feet burning coals they Walk along like streets of gold And how we used to fill our souls Might not have time for that no more Might punch the clock feel the void calling out Like it did before

Dust Settles 03:05
we were walking past construction Waves of heat by the ocean we all were dripping wet looking for a distraction and we create our own fiction for the moment that we live in and i don’t know if i can take it guess i’ll fake it till i make it here we are now lonely together brothers, sisters, did we want something better tell me how am i gonna find you how am i gonna find you when the dust settles we were running in the Rockies where the continent divides the wind cut through our jackets and our boots filled up with ice we were living in the future on our phones in windowless rooms and i don’t know how we did it don’t know how it’s fair to split it here we are now lonely together brothers, sisters, did we want something better tell me how am i gonna find you How am i gonna find you when the dust settles wake me up from this fever dream i didn’t hear you cause i didn’t try to wake me up from this fever dream i’ve been missing from the land of the living

August 03:51
I carved a canyon here To get to the bottom of this To the bottom of this Are you still here To get to the bottom of this I found the feeling Absolute ceiling Tear drops on a waterfall Sometimes you don’t feel anything at all When nothing I can say will still you A hand to hold There is love all around you Woke up and my mouth was dry Gotta get to the bottom of this To the bottom of this There’s a valley growing in my mind To get to the bottom of this I Found the feeling Something to believe in Once I drank the river dry Just to hear the echo from the other side When nothing I can say will still you A hand to hold There is love all around you Thought I’d spend four seasons in bloom But August came and my mind’s made up August came and my mind’s made up Another year spent wading in the flume But August came and my mind’s made up August came and my mind’s made up When nothing I can say will still you A hand to hold There is love all around you
