Blame it all upon my rosary baby doll just come and rescue me i got some bread i'm gonna spend it i ain't gonna waste it on anything i owe cause i'm a man who knows what he wants i wanna hold you close i wanna bring back home bring you back where you belong

Nine Days 03:06
my eyes are red and tired I've been up all night stoking this fire it's burning low, and so am I so pass me another so I can stay alive we lay upon beds of leaves out here the darkness gets darker and all I can see is the outline of the trees and the sound from the woods you've got to hear it to believe celebrate and crack that tune if you will sing a song, I'll join you sing it loud, sing it strong we've got nine more days till we're all going home in my trunk is the stale smell of beer and though I try, it's always there I hope my boss doesn't care that I'm late again I'm fucking late

On & On 04:01
you're haunting my house like a lonly ghost but now it's time to go I packed up your bags and left them by the go go on girl you know it's hard enough you'll be on my mind I swear you'll be on my mind travelers and theives with their smokin guns had been stalking your back for days you need a place to hide your face you found my bed and took all the rest you'll be on my mind I swear you'll be on my mind on and on and on I came to you chasing a dream longing to be redeemed but I wore you down I see it now you're drifting away from me you'll be on my mind I swear you'll be on my mind on and on and on

Carry Me On 03:43
this month didn’t seem like much it flew past me while I was losing touch of every little thing I ever cared about kissed it all off while I was running my mouth another week another published tune written by me while I was thinking of you taken somewhere on the other side of town in another man’s arms why are you playing around and if you call my name then I will run hope the northern winds carry me on it’s the weather that’s freezing my lungs and the pains in chest are just an oncoming storm that’s keeping everybody inside of their homes and they only peak out when they hear something’s wrong please you gotta hear me babe i’m only reaching out cause I got something to say these times may seem hard indeed but even the deepest wounds will always fade who would guessed i’d find myself undressed don’t you give up don’t you give up yet

Sugar 02:31

I'm tired I'm goin' home to rid myself of all my wrongs

Eleanore 05:33
we entered as children straight out of school fearlessly fighting like drunken buffoons we needed the money, they promised us loads so we signed on the line and did as we were told I fought quite a battle but I surely lost though I kept all my badges I learned what they cost the lives of my brothers and the friends that I made are now buried in a book for my kids to read oh, look at me now I'm drunk so don't make a sound eleanor, please won't you come to my bed lift up my spirits and cradle my head you can empty my pockets and drink all my wine as long as you promise to stay by my side my master at arms he tells me my place he whispers me plans I do as he says but who is that standing, loading his gun it's my master and the chief, they're father and son battle cries don't echo on an arid plain they're just squashed by the sound of enemy tanks then washed away on an oasis wave but they come to me now in my altered state oh, look at me now I'm drunk so don't make a sound eleanor, please won't you come to my bed lift up my spirits and cradle my head you can empty my pockets and drink all my wine as long as you promise to stay by my side
7.
Soldiers 04:50
we are soldiers cut from stone the image of our fathers eyes we were dressed to the nines we were ready to go we told our mothers we would write then they could tell all their friends that all their boys were gonna be alright when we kissed our girls goodbye we told them not to cry but we prayed to god most every night to survive we prayed that we’d survive we boarded big ships cut from steel the handy work of honest men just doing their part to keep what’s real. we crossed an ocean felt out of bounds there we walked our legs to the bone kept our eyes to the sky our feet on the ground when we kissed our girls goodbye we told them not to cry but we prayed to god most every night to survive we prayed that we’d survive we sleep in thin tents caked with earth and wonder if freedom has a price then is our daily sacrifice all it’s worth we miss our mothers whom we never wrote and hold on to dampened photos of girls we hope are waiting back home when we kissed our girls goodbye we told them not to cry but we prayed to god most every night to survive we prayed that we’d survive

Charleston 05:01
i am old, i am weary and i'm coming home to die would you bury me by the old oak tree 'tween the river and the Ashley oh charleston, won't you bury me i'm the daughter of a merchant claimed the seabrook line lost his spirit to the crash of '29 left my family bound for europe on the adeline packed my things and left my mom and dad behind there the churches spot the skyline in an endless dawn and on rainbow row we'd walk the waterfront there he told me he would take me but it could not be so i left the man i loved in charleston i am old, i am weary and i'm coming home to die would you bury me by the old oak tree 'tween the river and the Ashley oh charleston, won't you bury me busted galleys, sick dead soldiers found a navy man wrote the queen to have him stay his term with me I love my husband and my children but these my final days I am weary, and charleston calls to me now I see its painted porches all the lazy noons sipping tea until the evening came and the graveyard where my father lay his southern bones I can hear them now the church bells sing my name i am old, i am weary and i'm coming home to die would you bury me by the old oak tree 'tween the river and the Ashley oh charleston, won't you bury me
9.
every little thing she does has got me reelin' got me feelin' like I can't go on every little word she says is ringing in my ears like a bell oh it's all i hear and she's got me turned around and she's all i need around oh i've found another reason to be down every little smile she shows is all that any man would need to feel complete and single place she goes she's turning heads she's moving feet she's on the top she's underneath and she's got me turned around and she's all i need around oh i've found another reason to be down if she wants me she can have me cause i am always at her mercy
10.
close your tired eyes girl and rest your heavy head I promise I’ll call you in the morning but for now just go to bed the road’s been running me ragged I’m running on nothing but fumes and dreaming of someday when we’ll both settle down in house somewhere with a view lately my memories are fading the visions of you start to blur into a tangled up mess of street signs and car lights but I know I’ll sort them out soon
