"Taking Me Home Tonight"
[Intro]
Should old Acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For Auld Lang Syne
Well I'm dancing with the sister of good intentions
She's got her arm wrapped around my side
And if I'm not careful she'll have me
She'll be taking me home tonight
[Chorus]
And I know you don't give a damn about me
But I've got this feeling deep inside
And I'm dancing with the sister of good intentions
She'll be taking me home tonight
So honey get me a bottle so I can start drinking
It's already real late in the night
I need a little pick me up to take me down
And i'll be happy to go home with you tonight
[Chorus]
And I know you don't give a damn about me
But I've got this feeling deep inside
And I'm dancing with the sister of good intentions
She'll be taking me home tonight
Yea She'll be taking me home tonight

"Flew The Coop"
Well I got fired from my job yesterday
I argued with my boss about the pay
Said I need to get me a living wage
And he said "Get the hell out of my face"
[Chorus]
So smoke 'em if you got 'em
Been on down to the bottom
Hell I'm getting high again
There ain't no one around in this old town
Trying to help out an old friend
Well this world keeps a spinning
And I ain't a-winning
Trying to get back on my feet again
So light me up and smoke me down
Back to the filter again
Well I'm as broke as can be
I went and spent all my money
I ain't got no savings and I am just a-waiting
For that Unemployment check to come by me
[Chorus]
So smoke 'em if you got 'em
Been on down to the bottom
Hell I'm getting high again
There ain't no one around in this old town
Trying to help out an old friend
Well this world keeps a spinning
And I ain't a-winning
Trying to get back on my feet again
So light me up and smoke me down
Back to the filter again
Well I tried to quit cigarettes
I ain't got no money nor regrets
If the bird Flew The Coop then I'd steal his nest
There ain't no guilt up on my chest
[Chorus]
So smoke 'em if you got 'em
Been on down to the bottom
Hell I'm getting high again
There ain't no one around in this old town
Trying to help out an old friend
Well this world keeps a spinning
And I ain't a-winning
Trying to get back on my feet again
So light me up and smoke me down
Back to the filter again
So light me up and smoke me down
Back to the filter again

"Stoned and Alone"
Well things don't make sense like they used to
Everything we thought was true
I'm using you more than I used to
But damn I need help gettin' rid of these blues
[Chorus]
But I am Stoned and Alone
Just tryin' to get down to the bone
When I finally come down
Hope I finally come round
But I am Stoned and Alone
Skeletons playing banjos in my ears
Listening to their music sure brings back the tears
I lost every good friend that I know
People in my life, they come and they go
[Chorus]
But I am Stoned and Alone
Just tryin' to get down to the bone
When I finally come down
Hope I finally come round
But I am Stoned and Alone
A lot can change in a day
For there are no bounds to my mistakes
I'm just lookin' for someone who cares
'Cause life is chock-full of it's scares
[Chorus]
But I am Stoned and Alone
Just tryin' to get down to the bone
When I finally come down
Hope I finally come round
But I am Stoned and Alone
Yea I am Stoned and Alone

"Adventurous Escapades"
Eatin' chicken from three days ago
Lord knows these days are slow
I think that I'm falling through
Don't know what to say
Doesn't matter anyway
You wouldn't listen now would you
[Chorus]
I'm on an adventure in my mind
Who knows what I might find
Maybe some Adventurous Escapades
Well who cares now anyways
Haven't had much to do
Since I last heard from you
The days are getting shorter now
Saw you the other day
Didn't say anything just walked away
Damn don't I regret that now
[Chorus]
I'm on an adventure in my mind
Who knows what I might find
Maybe some Adventurous Escapades
Well who cares now anyways
Time goes by so fast
Aren't looking you might get passed
I wasn't and got knocked on my ass
I try to keep it slow
Every single place I go
But sometimes I just don't know
[Chorus]
I'm on an adventure in my mind
Who knows what I might find
Maybe some Adventurous Escapades
Well who cares now anyways
Well who cares now anyways...

Nightmare of You
03:33
|

"Nightmare of You"
Today I felt my heart slide into my belly
So I puked it up with liquor
And slept right where I lay
I dreamed of the backs of cards
For the faces were not telling
No I've never felt sicker and I do not want to wake
[Chorus]
Here comes another Nightmare of You Again
Another nightmare come true again
I should've seen it comin'
I should've seen the end
My Nightmare of You Again
No I never would've come here
But my eyes they would not focus
So I took my last three dollars
And spent 'em on a drink
I had visions of you dear
But they floated without notice
All these drunkards do is hollar
Till this drunkard cannot think
[Chorus]
Here comes another Nightmare of You Again
Another nightmare come true again
I should've seen it comin'
I should've seen the end
My Nightmare of You Again

One More
05:04
|

"One More"
One More to wake me up
One More to take me down
One More to put me out of this place
I ain't got nothing to worry about
[Chorus]
I ain't feeling no pain
But hell I ain't feeling good
Drank myself silly again
And I ain't gonna do what I should
Oh what I should
Now what are you yelling about
Now what are you yelling about
Quit your pouting and pour yourself something
You can really yell on about
[Chorus]
I ain't feeling no pain
But hell I ain't feeling good
Drank myself silly again
And I ain't gonna do what I should
Oh what I should

Ready To Be Used

"Ready To Be Used"
Been taken for granted
Been taken advantage
Of for so long
Don't know how much damage
I've got left in me and It's
Tearing me apart
[Chorus]
But lord I'm blue
Ready To Be Used
Ready to be hurt again
Cause what's worth living
If you've got no one to live with
Take me out with the garbage
Take me out with the trash
Dump my ass
Won't be no hard feelings
You were just what I needed
To get passed
[Chorus]
But lord I'm blue
Ready To Be Used
Ready to be hurt again
Cause what's worth living
If you've got no one to live with
Been taken for granted
Been taken advantage
Of for so long
Don't know how much damage
I've got left in me and It's
Tearing me apart
[Chorus]
But lord I'm blue
Ready To Be Used
Ready to be hurt again
Cause what's worth living
If you've got no one to live with

Don't Feel a Thing

"Don't Feel a Thing"
So leave me here I won't mind
I've been trying to get out on my own
Trust me I'll be fine
I lost my will the other day
I've been trying to get out of this rut
I've been trying to get away
[Chorus]
'Cause the bills are too much
And the money's no good
I'm breaking down
Ain't gonna do what I should
And everyone left me
With my world held by a string
I could care less about it all
Cause I Don't Feel a Thing
So why does it matter I don't see why it should
We all go out in the same way
In a box made of wood
So tell me tell me which is right
Should I worry about tomorrow
Or forget it all tonight
[Chorus]
But the bills are too much
And the money's no good
I'm breaking down
Ain't gonna do what I should
And everyone left me
With my world held by a string
I could care less about it all
Cause I Don't Feel a Thing
So leave me here I won't mind
I've been trying to get out on my own
Trust me I'll be fine

60 Miles to Birmingham
03:27

"60 Miles to Birmingham"
120 miles to Nashville
60 to Birmingham
Driving fast as hell it ain't hard to tell
I'm a wanted man
Overthrew a liquor store in Pulaski
On my way to Alabam'
No I didn't mean to kill him
He just shouldn't have made a stand
[Chorus]
Green grass and overpasses
Motels and loose assets
Just trying to make a pass at whatever I can
Dead trees and stolen car-keys
No overnight parking
I don't see a reason to be an honest man
Well I'm 60 Miles to Birmingham...
Was eatin' at a diner in Clanton
When I smelled bacon walking in
I got the jump on 'em and by the hair
Grabbed an innocent man
They begged me to let him go
Waitress broke down in tears
They fired the first round
And I ran out the rear
[Chorus]
Green grass and overpasses
Motels and loose assets
Just trying to make a pass at whatever I can
Dead trees and stolen car-keys
No overnight parking
I don't see a reason to be an honest man
Well I'm 60 Miles to Birmingham...
Cocaine and indecision
That was my plan
Now I'm facing life in prison
And I don't think I can
Got a buddy in the city
Said he'll hook me up right
Leave 'Bama on Tuesday
Be in Mexico Thursday night
[Chorus]
Green grass and overpasses
Motels and loose assets
Just trying to make a pass at whatever I can
Dead trees and stolen car-keys
No overnight parking
I don't see a reason to be an honest man
Well I'm 60 Miles to Birmingham...

"Prodigal Son"
When I left my father's house
Well I was well supplied
Made a mistake and I did go
Now I'm dissatisfied
Now I'm dissatisfied
[Chorus]
Believe I'll go back home
Believe I'll go back home
Believe I'll go back home
Acknowledge I done wrong
Well I'll go back to my father's house
To the place I loved so dear
There they had bread to eat
While I am starving here
While I am starving here
[Chorus]
Believe I'll go back home
Believe I'll go back home
Believe I'll go back home
Acknowledge I done wrong

Head On Buddy

"Head On Buddy"
Well I knew a man
He was headed down south
He didn't have much money
Just the tongue in his mouth
And lord could he sing
And lord could he shout
No I never heard him cry
No I never heard him pout
[Chorus]
Head on buddy
Head on fast
Head on buddy
You'll be home at last
Well making his way to Kansas
He got stuck in misery
No he hadn't been home in years
He was happy as could be
And lord did he run
When they shot him down
No he didn't make a sound
He just hit the ground
[Chorus]
Head on buddy
Head on fast
Head on buddy
You'll be home at last
It all went quiet
Everyone came to see
And there he lay
He was dead as could be
He came so far
He made it to Missouri
Goes to show
Can't run from your history
[Chorus]
Head on buddy
Head on fast
Head on buddy
You'll be home at last

Drinking Of You

"Drinking Of You"
Well I'm just sittin' here on my stool
Sittin' here drinking of you
Though I know
You've taken no time to think about me
Drunk and hazy memories I've had
Of all my past relationships gone bad
And each time
I get taken back to my sad reality
[Chorus]
But forget it all
I drink my memories away
To make it to tomorrow
I forget yesterday
Seems I've given
All my love away
Just to be replace
With sorrow and pain, and pain...
Stab me in the gut and I'll turn you my back
Seems I haven't learned a thing after the fact
Hurt me as much as you want
I won't stop you
Love me enough and you'll change my life
Hurt me constantly and I'll make you my wife
I'm just striving for something
I can hold on to
[Chorus]
But forget it all
I drink my memories away
To make it to tomorrow
I forget yesterday
Seems I've given
All my love away
Just to be replace
With sorrow and pain, and pain...
No matter what my darlin's have done to me
I still love you all dearly
No I can't
Seem to forget the good times
So I hope this is the last time I play
The sittin' alone on a stool game
Thinking of someone
Who won't take the time to think about me
[Chorus]
But forget it all
I drink my memories away
To make it to tomorrow
I forget yesterday
Seems I've given
All my love away
Just to be replace
With sorrow and pain, and pain...

"The Only Time I've Wasted"
Well the only time I've wasted
Is time not spent with you
Hell that might be because
I'm wasted too
So let's stop the drinking
And get this thing right
'Cause I wanna be with you
Longer than tonight
[Chorus]
'Cause the beer and the booze
Are singing me the blues
And it's my time for getting on
So honey take my hand and come along
'Cause the drinks and mistakes
Are making me hit the brakes
And I've been broken for so long
I just want to be happy on my own
A kiss from you
Gets me drunker than booze
And happy for so much longer
So let's put the bottle down girl
I've never been this messed up
From something in a cup
And I've never been this sober
So honey come with me
The parties over
[Chorus]
'Cause the beer and the booze
Are singing me the blues
And it's my time for getting on
So honey take my hand and come along
'Cause the drinks and mistakes
Are making me hit the brakes
And I've been broken for so long
I just want to be happy on my own
Well the only time I've wasted
Is time not spent with you
Hell that might be because
I'm wasted too
