from the house to the hill where i ran the dogs around before i picked up dirty slang from the town then i left my mom and dad and i spent all that i had now they know i'm not near the man i was before. when i found a love for the lost souls on the earth i said i'd lead them on the road to mexico there we'd start a land for the unkept and the banned and for a hundred years or more we stayed our course oh ba da ba da da da da!

Dying World 03:29
i won't fall apart, no, i won't dig through hearts for gold like you want me to i don't tolerate no man or girl whose minds been sold to a dying world but i'm moving awfully slow i don't criticize no one just so long as they don't show me any kinda hate they're the only ones who make our minds so they don't grow like we want them to but we're moving awfully slow yeah, we're moving awfully slow

i don't recall that dusty old page a book that my mama said filled her with rage so i burned all my records and sold all my games a task that would later make me run away but i don't recall i am amazed what the world's done to me i take what i want and leave bums on the street told a girl in a wheelchair she would fall on her feet then she stood and made me change the words that i speak to some still believe kings and kingdoms will all pass away worlds below will turn into a blaze pass the line and surely you will pay livin' is here but it won't stay but some still believe

waited on the wrong side of your door 'cause when you said to stay i listened 'til then the music faded and i left and you got mad for that apparent reason you said, "go, go, don't come back. go, go, don't come back don't come here no more." i wasn't there for you've been failing me too i haven't been there for you've been failing me too drinking all the dogfish, wanting more and we agreed storms would blow over 'til then the sunlight faded and you left and i got drunk for that apparent reason i said, "go, go, don't come back. go, go, don't come back. don't come here no more." i wasn't there for you've been failing me too i haven't been there for you've been failing me too traded all the anger that we had for one last chance at retribution but then a demon rose up from the dead and we got loud for that apparent reason we said: GO GO DON'T COME BACK GO GO DON'T COME BACK DON'T COME HERE NO MORE!

Sundowning 03:24
you've been fading over time wrestling to stay in my mind when i left you i should have said "i'll forget... everything from now on 'cause i am dying" Sundowner's set my brain to fryin' but tomorrow i'll be fine under the Texas sun where I've been for all my life ran away into the night jumping trains as they went by when i met you i didn't know i'd forget... everything from then on 'cause i'd be dying Sundowner's set my brain to fryin' but tomorrow i'll be fine under the Texas sun where I've been for all my life well there's just one and i'll make her my wife she's an ex beauty queen and we met on the fly i was looking for sunshine didn't know that she'd make me go blind when i was eighteen i was full of the sky that was five years before i got shit in my eye now i'm waking up thirsty wondering, "where did my baby go?" well then on comes road where our voids collide i was feeling kinda down in a path divide then she spit on her fingers and said, "baby, you can have your sight." and today we feel just fine under the Texas sun where I'll stay for all my life

well i'm calling quits i can't take another broken heart oh it's not something that you would understand i'm calling bullshit everything you ever said was a lie oh and it's not something that i can forgive don't keep walking don't keep moving forward put life aside and on hold i know i can be a little cruel but i don't deserve the shit i've been through well i'm feeling sick i need you to nurse me back to health oh 'cause i'm too scared to go to a doctor i'm feeling pretty tricked i just wish you would have told me the truth oh that you could never love me sober don't keep walking don't keep moving forward put life aside and on hold i know i can be a little cruel but i don't deserve the shit i've been through i know i can be a little cruel but i don't deserve the shit you put me through

i was only being warned this time if i do you wrong again you'll take flight over mountains, basins, and the like i'll just stay home and think about what i've done "you just be quiet" speak i wouldn't try it things- they came undone we couldn't hold seems you were my only flaw from the start dirt i wouldn't rinse away from my heart even when i'm clean i'm torn apart press your fingers to my lips we won't talk we'll just be quiet speak i wouldn't try it if things they come together we could hold

the ink was spilled, red and black a dotted line that we could follow the water stains, a weathered page the pouring rain, our feet are drowning and through the fog i let you stray and we got lost miles away from lizard ears and make-believe the life we lived in our dreams my thought train came apart my body laid near my heart we were looking for golden feathers he folded up his chart leaving room in his bag for treasure he knows where to start and soon he'll be thrilled when he reaches turning points the ink was spilled, red and black a dotted line that he could follow his family prayed, "return safe" but he got lost when he sailed away the oak frame came apart his body laid near his heart he'd been looking for golden feathers i wasn't so afraid then i could feel your hand fall on my neck and i woke suddenly to see my woman slowly drift away i closed my eyes again said, "if you're going to kill me do it right." yeah, do it right your name is written on my tongue with every word i speak i'm cursed and with a soft blow to my head i lose my mind that's all i had that's all that i had

you said no, you wouldn't stop on your way home to pick up a bottle of wine a paper bag holds the alternate answer you said it's just more your style that's how i know you're my only season i'm gonna grow old for that reason the anger caused by an instant heartache of learning that your brother's been fleeced an excerpt from conversation, strangers can make you laugh till you bleed that's how i know you're my only season i'm gonna grow old for that reason
