Alabama streets say I cannot hold your hand Want me to want you to, but they could shoot us where we stand While the sky and water is blue To die would be an honor Except for losing you To die would be an honor At the cost of losing you An honest thief only steals your lines Playing second fiddle Only scrunches up your spine Well, I was not good at hide and seek I tried to hide my love Secrets made me weak You can try and hide your love Secrets make you weak Alabama sheets, cotton starched and burning white My to-do list was getting done last night Hell, your smell is still on my hands You tell me, if they hear us coming, they could shoot us where we stand If they hear us coming, they could shoot us where we stand I’d gladly suffer that again again again I’d gladly suffer that again again again To die in Alabama with your smell still on my hands What better way is there to die than Alabama holding hands

R Is there room at your table Is there warmth in your cold hands Is there beer in your cold fridge Are you ready to make a stand Is there room at your table for me Do you ever call your mama Did you ever meet her husband Do you ever call your father Did you ever make a good friend Is there room at your table for me Love comes when you least expect it Turns around if you don’t respect it Love comes to the strong and willing Love makes us god fearing Is there room at your table Did you ever get your teeth fixed Are you ready with a clean car Are you ready for the magic trick Is there room at your table for me Did you ever quit your running Did you leave behind your heartache Do you still smoke a pack a day Are you ready for your new kid Is there room at your table for me Love comes when you least expect it Turns around if you second guess it Love comes to the strong and able Love makes us Cain and Abel Is there room at your table Is there room at your table for me

Car engine humming by I hear the train whistle for the very first time Think of that morning in the back of your truck Ate cider donuts and I counted my luck Riding fast over the cracking black top Stole salt and pepper from a roadside gas stop Drinking bad whiskey, burning sunshine My legs on your shoulders makes everything fine Watch your p’s they said watch your q’s Love like that could make you come unglued Sharper the scissors, the finer the fringe Maybe you’re better off as friends Back to the girls the books the lonely bed I forget about the night that the sky turned red Smoking in my underwear, passing out in stalls How easy to forget how you can almost have it all Riding the bus over the rain wet bridge Said he’d take me out to drink if I was old enough for it Fought in his basement to a glowing tv His mama said she never seen one like me Watch your p’s he said watch your q’s Love like mine is easy to lose He said she said is that abuse I guess we’ll know by the size of your bruise I am the age now that you were then You dropped me at the airport said you’d see me again I don’t forgive you for the way you turned mean I guess you’re an orphan whether clean or unclean Rain falling on sultry streets Our lies getting tangled in the soaking sheets No one knows what the other sees Do you remember the best or the worst of me We kissed in the water where the ice & fire meet You said you’d been wanting me wet all week Tasted like coffee, sweat, and nicotine Bioluminescence played at our feet I watch my p’s, I keep on my q’s Love like mine is salt in the wound Hotter the stove the deeper the singe Living well is the best revenge They tell you, living well’s the best revenge I watch my p’s, I keep on my q’s Love like that could make you come unglued Sharper the scissors, the finer the fringe And living well is still revenge They tell you, living well’s the best revenge We were never never never never never never gonna be friends We were never never never never never never gonna be friends

Woods and ferries, outdoors in tents Every way that stings or bends Tipis, mattresses, hardwood floors Pillows and beds, up against glass doors Lightning storm and winter’s cold I’ll want your love even when I’m old Get on my belly and in my hair Put me on knees and hips Love’s not fair Yours and mine, we’re stoned, we’re wined And when the lights go out the body does what’s right Slower than the summer rain I’ll want your love til wanting it brings me pain Blood on the wall, we’re quiet like mice Loving the flesh is my only vice Cowgirl gets slapped across the mouth My favorite thing is when you head down south Springtime’s coming when the sap runs clear I want your love, just not at cost my dear Roses are red, violets are blue You can fuck right off and your little dog too My mama’s married ever since she signed She may be married but she’s not blind Won’t you tell me daddy when it’s time I can be your love but I’m no St. Valentine I’m the only boss of me It gets lonely up there on the tallest peak I’ll die with wine in my cup, cum on my lips I’ll be screaming your name while the earth softly splits in two I’ll do it in spite of you I’ll do it in spite of you

You got the car, I got the place Get the money, I’ll be your bank I don’t care to be the one You remember names, I’ll remember faces Write a number one hit to pay for her braces I don’t care if you’re the one Lemme make up your mind for you Let me make up your mind I ain’t known for all that much I’m dead if I’m defined Not your first, I’m not your last Girls call you iconoclastic I never claimed to be a real class act Not your last, I’m not your first Denying you only makes it worse Been swimming in fresh water dying of thirst Let me break this down for you It’s my mistake to make Might be a late late bloomer But I’m coming for that stage I like your words, I love your mouth Say I’m such a damn yankee must be from the south I don’t care where I’m from I like your words, I love your taste I hear them whisper to each other it’s a damn darn waste Tell me I’m too pretty to vacuum a rug Let me spell it out for them, it’s not like I failed I played it straight for quite some time Captain that ship sailed Cover it up quick, strip it down real slow Did I fool you once or were you in on the peep show I do not want to hold a pick Slim choosing’s coat check box full of battles Grave diggers gonna rob those cradles Nothing is so hard as missing a month Let me settle the bet for you I bet I’ll make you sway She might be a smooth smooth talker But she’s quiet at the end of the day Let me spell it out for them, it’s not like I failed I played it straight for quite some time Captain that ship sailed
