Carolina 04:06
When you dream a dream of some old world that never was and never will be And times are tough so your giving up the world is nothing but the dirt under your feet And I walked out to a place where the sun dont pass the trees And I looked out to see you standing lifeless in the street Oh Carolina, I feel you rushing through my veins were coming home to you momma your children without names Tell me which way does a lost man vear does he follow his hear or run away from fear and could you kill a man before he kills you, swallow your pride leave the things you knew and I thought what you wanted was the feeling to be free but there aint nothing out here my son but the road out to the see

She asked me what I was thinking, and I said nothing I smoked my last cigerette down to something that I know all to well And that's nothing Yea I know The high tides coming, just rising and rolling we had a hard time up north, now we'll be leaving I think I make out something vague I guess thats something Yea I know This old town is rusting, and through the dust I can hear that old straight six ford she's barely running to get her off of those concrete blocks, Is gonna take some trying that i know this goddamn rain keeps falling down sweet annabelle we're gonna leave this town I know, yea I know She asked me what I was thinking, and I said nothing its just factories and headstones, and I'm slowly breaking there are things in this world, that aint worth saying that i know But the Sante Fe's rolling, five freights a day and I let that old engine, haul my thoughts away they tell me that there are places down the line that aint worth going But I don't know

County Line 03:48
Making ground on a one way out of town and you find yourself in places you dont recognize feeling low like you got nowhere to go and how the time slips by boys i dont know Marking time notching lines across the wall thin yellow line, get me through the night and I'll leave it all behind, right here just beyond that county line midnight feels like the dogs up on your heels and you can chase that old moon into the ground but you know damn well that when the wolves pick up your trail there be hell to pay and stories left to tell

Southwind 02:22
Southwind i'll follow you down South bound to El Paso town Theres a hot southern wind from the hills of Mexico and I am going to chase it down Old boots I'll follow you around Smoky Mountain carolina bound weather are good ends down in the days wondering round I trust you and Ill follow you around Bottle yea ill have one more round I wont trust that hope will be found Stay anwhere but dust, cauise its ends times or bust But your the best friend ive got pound for pound Heart you stay here in the sound dont you let those stormy seas drag you down quiet her gale in the north Puget Sound wont you hold her and keep her till i come back round Washington north border bound

Songbird 03:02
Little towns are filled with madness folks doing the best they can the whole world all wrapped in gold to hear the sound of your own voice telling you you got no choice but watch it roll around like the sun Uncle Jack he is on the back porch holding court with a string of dreams the wind in the trees blows my mind left alone he is the king of kings a crown of thorns and guitar strings the light out back stays on and on all night long Sing on a you little songbirds Stand tall in your neon lights I feel you rolling around in my mind but on the road this shit dont matter on the road it is all the same just give me that rail yard and i might wander just give me one more chance to feel the rain

Adeline 03:38
give me the finest roads this side of heaven so i can find my way home just as soon as i can a steady wind at my back, a little whiskey in my hand oh this mountain has always been kind to me and my sweet adeline it was the winter of 39, when all hell froze over in the soup line just waiting for deaths cold so with no where else to go we packed our bags for the coast we went looking for a little sunshine arm and arm with my sweet adeline a mountain side was enough for our home just a cabin in the woods friends it wasnt nothing to boast and we kept to our own we took our food off of the land, i took my wife by the hand and we would wander through the cool mountain pines oh i love you my sweet adeline then one day the sheriff came around said you cant live for free here but aint no bankers from town ever going to take away our home so from the porch where she stood she laid that sheriff down for good and i held here said please girl dont you cry so by the morning I was on the state line send me a letter by mail to the Reno county jail where i am doing 10 years hard time I miss you my sweet adeline

Girl of Mine 03:00

Sleep out on the street anywhere to lay your bones Coming in off the heat we were a long way from home We were young we were reckless and wild Getting by on luck and a smile Staying high on anything we could find to pass the time Staying up all night reading poems that you find under the trees girl in a park on the rivers side Step into the river and count the stars that dare to shine Sunrise on a high tide staying close to the fire The air is fresh and you can see your breath across an ocean deep and wide Rub the sleep out of your eyes The fire is dead and the bottles are dry If there is a god and she is on our side we will catch a ride Up into the red woods where youd stay forever if you thought you could but that road has got you girl, she has got you good so take it where is comes and leave the rest just laying where they should.

With my bed roll unraveled underneath the stars above everyday I travel 50 miles to see my love and drift asleep by the widest river underneath a little town where my wife sleeps with her lover and i have come to cut them down I left our boy back in Georgia with his sister by his side on a farm worth next to nothing he'll be a man before his time And though i tried to explain it brought back the tears and all the pain so i left them there on that old porch swing with every dollar to my name do you recognize me darlin has my faced changed with time though we are both a little older i can see that life has treated you fine you found a home of love and riches you found a life of wealth and ease you found everything you wanted to take anything you please you took my dreams, you took my heart, you broke a man when you pulled up stakes and now it is hard to see the difference between love and hate so lay you down in your bed so fine I got three bullets here heavy and bright one is for you, one is for your lover, and one's for me just to make it right.

Little momma's in the back she is feeling old She says the days of turning heads are gone but i never miss the chance to prove her wrong I spent my life just chasing death I tried to make a home each place I rest And it is enough just to stop and take a breath dont hang on too tight momma is going to let you go and there is nothing left to fight And i lost a friend or two along the way One day i will take my bow and be on my way so let's raise a glass tonight friends for the day.
