Alabama

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

Nicotine Wet Dream
04:19

Give me Nair and Nicotine
I’ll be every dandy man’s wet dream
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
The minutes pass until I’m smooth again
Antiseptic where my animal once lived
If you're not getting any
It’s cause I got no more to give
If you're not getting any
It’s cause I got no more to give
Give me Nair and Nicotine
I’ll stay hot forever
I’m addicted to the scene
Gave me his worse guitar
He wanted me to cream
Why do they call good sex
the kind that makes you scream
I got a perfect score on the verbal S.A.T.
I can lie better than you could ever lie to me
I can lie better babe than you could ever lie to me
Give me Nair and Nicotine
One keeps me horny and the other’s the machine
I get some fresh air, wait for the medicine to work
I can’t tell the difference between a nice guy and a jerk
Either way they’re guessing what you like
If the bark don’t take, you can bet they’ll try to bite
If the bark don’t take, you can bet they’ll try to bite
Give me nicotine and nair
Does it count as going hungry if your lunch is made of air
I’m not too short too tall too skinny I’m not too fit
I don’t leave indentations on the cushions where I sit
Sunken hollows where my cheekbones used to be
I’m only starving cause you’re feeding off of me
I’m only starving cause you’re feeding off of me
I got a perfect score on those racist S.A.T.’s
I can lie better than you could ever lie to me

Room At The Table

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

Sex

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

Welcome to Rape City, USA
Where it can happen any time of day
If there’s a camera I’m below
Make sure they see me come and go
Yeah, it gets me down
Rape City, USA, that’s your town
It’s me and the truckers
My mom says mother fuckers
I don’t think she means what I think she means
A day just for women
I’m not celebrating
You can keep it, I don’t want it.
I want things to change.
Welcome to Rape City, USA
Watch your drink, bring your pepper spray
For every good guy, one is bad
That one could even be your dad
Yeah, I’ve done the math
Rape City, USA, it’s what we have
It’s me and the drinkers
They tell me I’m an over thinker
I could turn hate to love if I’d only rise above
It’s me and the smokers
They tell me to take a joke
I’m not laughing I’m not backing down
It’s the land of the free, but not for me
Welcome to Rape City, USA
Doesn’t matter if you’re straight or gay
You could even be a man
They’re taking from our open hands
Yeah, you’re not alone
Rape City, USA, that’s our home
And Yeah, I can do the math
Rape City, USA, it’s not that bad

Walked into the store it was early spring
I asked what he wanted, he said “everything”
On his hand was a wedding ring
Ooh, oh he didn’t know what tomorrow brings
Show me the money, I’ll show you the time
Show me the money, I’ll show you mine
Heaven ain’t a place you can buy
So show me
I can take your pain away
I could make you rue the day
I’ll do it if you do it too
Ooh oh It’s a boot strap buckle, any size will do
My love is funny, it’s not free
My love is funny, it’s not free
Heaven ain’t a place on earth for me
So Pay me
Pay me the money and I’ll shut right up
A-ooh Pay me the money or I’ll bust your guts
Pay me the money and I’ll shut right up
A-ooh Pay me the money or I’ll bust your guts
Picked me up on our very first date
Ooh-oh it wasn’t good, I did great
Next time, I’ll show up late
Ooh-oh next time, I’ll raise my rates
Show me the money, I’ll show you the time
Show me the money, I’ll show you mine
Heaven ain’t a place you can buy
A man can’t die before his time
If you wanna survive, you better try and Pay me
Show me the money, I’ll show you the time
Show me the money, I’ll show you mine
Heaven ain’t a place you can buy
A man can’t die before his time
If you wanna survive, you better try and Pay me
Show me the money, I’ll show you the time
Show me the money, I’ll show you mine
Heaven ain’t a place you can buy
A man can’t die before his time
If you wanna survive, you better try and Pay me
Pay me the money and I’ll shut right up
A-ooh Pay me the money or I’ll bust your guts
Pay me the money and I’ll shut right up
A-ooh Pay me the money or I’ll bust your guts

Tryin

Tryin too hard for not tryin
I’m not tryin hard enough to get by
The sun comes up every morning
It’s saying all you can do is to try
Oh all you can do is to try
I quit drinking, now I smoke like a chimney
One who loves to burn up her insides
I’ve thought about my time of dying
Cause when I die, I’ll be back in their arms
When I die, I’ll go back to their arms
There’s a hole in the room where I’m living
There’s one who sleeps with a gun by her head
They say I tell too many secrets
Can you imagine the secrets I’ve kept
Can you imagine the secrets I’ve kept
Salt air blows in from the ocean
Mountains send it back to the sea
The loneliest people among us
Are saying please, won’t you please, bother me
Ooh oh please, won’t you please, bother me
The sun comes up every morning
It tells me all you can do is to try
I’ve thought about my time of dying
Cause when I die, I’ll be back in their arms
When I die, I’ll go back to their arms
