Who Will Be There 03:09
lyrics
I killed a man today To make my sins go away It worked for god it worked for man I just want to be clean again I took a knife in my hand And stuck it right into him I watched his blood in the grass I just want these bad times to pass 3 days later my spirit broke the sheriff he got my goat in jail I am doomed I am damned I am a fool Judge said son who are you I said a man just like you you,re a menace, I’m appalled boys take him down to the yard I said no noose is too good for me judge said I’m inclined to agree When I drop I see a man he is holding onto my hand he says just relax this too shall pass He takes my body down after the crowd goes back to town then he takes me down some stairs I don’t want to be alone with him

Hymn 03:00
lyrics
Folded my hands tight Released a little sigh I took a look inside Folded my hands tight Turned to my bride I took a look inside Folded my hands tight Turned to my bride said honey what do you have to hide? Folded my hands tight Looked inside my wife I said honey what do you have honey what do you have honey what do you have to hide? Sold our land outright Put our past out of sight The horizon is looking bright You closed your eyes tight released a little sigh why did we have to lie You know You Know You Know Why

Hymnal 01:14
lyrics
I got that leather-bound hymnal in my hand I said I’m never going back to him again I’ve got the leather-bound hymnal in my hand I said I’m just a leather bound working man Leather bound hymnal in my hand I said I’m never going back to him again Blood is my body and blood is my bread and I won’t ever understand again

My Revolver 03:13
lyrics
She has as many chambers as a guitar got strings Press it to my temple makes the whole world sing Don’t mind the humming if you don’t mind the smoke you’ll have to speak up ‘cause my revolver she already spoke I know I know I know… I know about the click and the effect it has on me lactic tentacles vampiric accuracy knotted muscles knotted ropes tangled on the deck Of a ship without any hope I know I know I know…

Your Body 03:40
lyrics
When I walk over your body I know I will be just fine When you walked away from my father what did you say as you walked out that door when I was left with no family what did you expect to from me Holding that prayer in my head Caging your name in my mouth I refuse to let either out Until I’ve walk over you The things I’ve always wanted I never had the things that I have ain’t never made me glad but appreciate all the same stand down river after a rain try to remove the stain that accursed mark of Cain the bad seed grew anyway I knew when I came in As I was busting down your door When I came in blazing I Knew who I was aiming for When I walked over your body and headed straight out your door I knew I had other problems But you wouldn’t be one anymore When I walked over your body I knew I would be just fine I Lied

Waiting on Bad News 03:43
lyrics
Sitting by the phone Haven’t slept a wink Stomach knotted because The ship is about to sink Already thinking About funeral attire Hard to be optimistic When you’re building a pyre Rooting through the cellar Searching for a spade Turning up the soil Head back to where we were made The seed yields no fruit Just sadness in the shade Whittling down the minutes Waiting on bad news Waiting for my soul to drop When I receive the cues Try to be optimistic, but the realities refuse Rooting through the cellar Searching for a spade Turning up the soil Head back to where we were made The seed yields no fruit Just sadness in the shade

Oh Death 03:07
lyrics
My name is Death and I excel I can open the gates to Heaven or Hell Cast a-side the flesh of thee Cast aside and set you free Oh-Oh Death! Oh-oh Death! Can’t you spare me over till a-noth-er year? I lock their jaws so they can’t talk Stiffen their legs so they can’t walk Close their eyes so they can’t see The chill you feel, it comes from me Oh-Oh Death! Oh-oh Death! Can’t you spare me over till a-noth-er year? Oh Mama, Mama, come to my bed Place a cold rag on my head My eyes are aching and I cannot see I feel the sheet pulling over me Oh-Oh Death! Oh-oh Death! Can’t you spare me over till a-noth-er year?

lyrics
It’s hard to be yourself It’s hard to be yourself It’s hard to be yourself Oh it’s hard It’s hard to be yourself It’s hard to be yourself It’s hard to be yourself Oh it’s hard When I woke up this morning I didn’t feel the same all I could feel was pain when I woke up this morning is when this feeling laid claim Yeah I just knew I wouldn’t feel the same It’s hard to be yourself It’s hard to be yourself It’s hard to be yourself Oh it’s hard I don’t hate myself I don’t hate myself I don’t hate myself but it’s hard Gonna try and love myself Oh it’s hard

Beer Belly 01:40
lyrics
Beer in my belly shoes on my feet all the pretty girls I’d like to meet are down by the stage Told me once told me twice a third time would be quite nice for you to remind me Whisper close whisper clear whisper those words I long to hear tell me that you want me Whisper close whisper clear whisper those words I long to hear tell me that you need me Beer in my belly shoes on my feet all the pretty girls I’d like to meet are far, far behind me

Worth a Damn 03:53
lyrics
Bought my baby a pistol Bought my baby some smokes Bought my baby a diaphragm then my baby spoke: “Honey I am pregnant I don’t want the thing” I said: “Baby if you love me then you’ll have my damn kid” So I hit my woman yes I hit her true She just smiled and grinned because that’s what good women do 9 months later that’s exactly what she did 9 month later my baby just smiled and grinned Call yourself a doctor call yourself a nurse All I’ve got is work and sweat Now Im dying of thirst Satan talking jive all day about how he’s making my hearse I am left high and dry I don’t know how it could get worse (it will) I’ve got a situation desperate as can be so I’ll go to the tavern to see what I can see bought me a whiskey bought me some more baby if you love me don’t you walk out that door (don’t leave) After the tavern then I went to church folded up my hands tight and then I just searched Jesus Im so thirsty Jesus Im so parched why am I so blue is my life just a farce? (it is) So I spoke with Jesus you see he’s an architect He’s got a blueprint in his hand he’s got all my respect David youll be happy yes I got the key David youll be happy all you need is me (that’s a fact)

Be Alone 03:32
lyrics
I ran out of love/3 women ago Ever since then/ Best I can hope for is lust Now I can’t even trust / the warm embrace of a stranger Since nothing seems to last / I guess I should Be Alone I should just I should just Be Alone Ran out of luck / 2 towns ago The past rode hard / all through the night Caught me with / the covers over my head I allowed the wool to be / pulled over my eyes No surprise / I know better / I Should just Be Alone I should just I should just Be Alone Preacher says we / only got one life to live I said “That’s fine / but where can I give it back” Preacher says / “don’t be so disrespectful Don’t you / want to seek forgiveness?” Don’t want nothing / I never asked for so I will / ask again where can I / go to give To give it back give it back Where can I, Where can I???

True Romance 04:25
lyrics
We never had a chance to experience true romance tune in Friday night to take a peak at the others lives Yes I had a wife I brought her nothing but strife and I’m sorry I know I got to go Never had a chance to experience true romance hold hands in the dark walk along in the park We said nothing at all and that’s how we fall We never got a chance modern life has got us in a trance I’m looking down in my hands give it a chance give it a chance I’m sorry I know you know but wherever I go the guilt goes I hope it shows Never had a chance at true romance
