Glad I Found Out

Well it's been a little while since the killing
Of our dirty ways and all the lies
I didn't know what I would be without you, babe
But I'm glad I found out
Take it all away for the telling
Wrap me up in lies I'm fit to hold
I didn't know what I would be without you, babe
But I'm glad I found out
Hide it all away until the morning
Scratch open the door and find the world
I didn't know what I would be without you, babe
But I'm glad I found out
I didn't know what I would be without you, babe
But I'm glad I found out

Rabbit Hole
03:07
|

Well no, I won't pretend that I'm not slipping away
Or that through forces up above me, I can not pay
Now all the cracks in all the floorboards are leading me down
A rabbit hole where I won't ever find what I've been trying to tonight
So maybe I should just get up and get away
Maybe make a little money, so I can save
So when the taxman comes around I can just pay it all off
But talk is cheap and I am happy here so I'll be staying all right
Well it takes a little longer that I had planned for
I can explain why the diamonds will be in your drawer
Well the divide between the province's are seldom torn
So if I go out to Alberta, would I be warned
Or could I get away up there if I'm leaving no trail
Maybe they'll find me one day so I'll have to be alert at all times
Well it takes a little longer that I had planned for
I can explain why the diamonds will be in your drawer
Oh this rabbit hole is dark and deeper than most
And I know that is something that people don't often boast
But the hideout is effective - they haven't found me yet
And maybe they'll find me one day and then I'll have to take you up on your bet
Well it takes a little longer that I had planned for
I can explain why the diamonds will be in your drawer
I can explain why the diamonds will be in your drawer

Nothing But Time
03:01
|
|||
|
I turned off the stove top light
I ain't going anywhere tonight
Take my money, wish me luck
This whole lock down, quarantine
Has got me relaying all of my dreams
To myself
Cause I got nothing but time
And I'm passing it with my whiskey glass
It's keeping me warm
And I know this time will come to pass
Well I tried to take it with some salt
But there's not much to coat at all
So I just drink and I try not to think
It's just all been step one, then step two
Still I don't understand what to do
We're all broke
Still we've got nothing but time
And I'm passing it with my whiskey glass
It's keeping me warm
And I know this time will come to pass
I turned off the stove top light
I ain't going anywhere tonight

And Be On My Way
01:23
|
|||
|
I don't know why I like taking my time
Walking down that line with my shoes un-shined
But I know there's always whiskey at the end
Seems like I used to be a lot more aware
Maybe that was when I had more hair
But I'm trying now to be a lot more true
I can't seem to explain myself any better
Once I would've tried but now i'm on my way
Well I'll shine my shoes, grab my hat and be on my way

Used To Do
02:32
|
|||
|
Well you don't know nothing about what's right or okay
I laid down my shooters and went my own way
You're meant to do what you're keeping to
But you won't find me sitting here the way you used to do
Well you don't know nothing about what's going on
It's been awhile since everything went wrong
These old songs I sing will explain to you
That you won't find me sitting here the way you used to do

Broken Glass
02:54
|
|||
|
Running out of time for the coming day
Running out my mind, leading me astray
Bring it back now, lift me up
Take it for a ride, bring it back some more
Take it for a time, I'll be hurtin, sore
Lay it back now, lift me up
Running out of time for me just ain't enough
Take it for a time then try to call my bluff
Walking past
Screeching fast
On the edge of this broken glass
Just for a time
Looking up above for the company
Looking down below at my swollen knee
Bring it back now, lift me up
Screaming down the water as we mosey along
Screaming for a time to your favorite song
Lay it back now, lift me up
Looking all around for me just ain't enough
Screaming for a time then try to call my bluff
Walking past
Screeching fast
On the edge of this broken glass
Just for a time
Running out of time for the coming day
Running out my mind, leading me astray
Bring it back now, lift me up
Running out of time for me just ain't enough
Take it for a time then try to call my bluff

Sam's Song
02:42
|
|||
|
I understand why you had to move away
I've seen your ghost and I've seen your face
So play that 8-string boy and it'll tell ya
The story of a man who by signs got swolled
I run into your ghost all around this town
From the empty city streets to the coffee shop down
You said being on the road don't seem right without me
Well the road's gone and taken you to another country
Your belly stays full with fruits and grains
And I remember when we used to just drink and sing
I run into your ghost everywhere I go
From the woods that I walk to the downtown shows
In the greenhouse you lie while you rest your eyes
While at night your ghost, it keeps my eyes wide
You said being on the road don't seem right without me
Well, will the road ever bring you back to this city

Rolling Back
02:11
|
|||
|
These Dublin town rooftops
From the one where I sit
Over the tracks; you can feel the vibration, you can really feel the vibration
When that train comes rolling back
When that train comes rolling back
To Nicholas, from down in the pub
It'll all turn around
Another round, and I'm knocking off; yeah, then I'm really knocking off
And that train comes rolling back
That train comes rolling back
Got my ticket to ride
Now calm me down inside
And I'll get to sleep tonight
Back in my hostel bed
Lay my drunken head
And I'll get to sleep tonight

Roots
03:00
|
|||
|
Been a long day
I've just lost my way
Lift me up
Leave me dry
And back away
Settle me up
Catch me just staying here
Belly full
Liquored up
And broken down
I don't want to worry no more
My target's set and my roots are sore
We grow in the daylight
I'm anxious to see how this'll grow
It cuts me down
Ain't nothing ever going to look the same

Cold, coffee sweats and empty bets
I'm shaking and I'm feeling weary as hell
I've been away for far too long
Help me brother, I need a drink
I tattooed all of my crimes
I want to sit and drink my whiskey all night
And say farewell to the moon
And good morn' to the sun
Oh, my day is done
Back before the gold
When the rust was all we owned
We used to lay in the field all damn day
Now what was once my home
Has long ago been sold
And my father, haven't seen him in years
I tattooed all of my crimes
I want to sit and drink my whiskey all night
And say farewell to the moon
And good morn' to the sun
Oh, my day is done
I tattooed all of my crimes
I want to sit and drink my whiskey all night
And say farewell to the moon
And good morn' to the sun
Oh, my day is done
Oh, my day is done
