Waiting on the Vine 03:30
lyrics

Settled at the store in front of Big Jim’s grove Candles burn true, but the teeth don't shine I'm walking home down that old county road Past the roadside store in front of Big Jim’s grove You've got me waiting on the vine You've got me waiting on the vine Settled in a fire on a Saturday sunrise Half a mile away from the Mississippi sand mines Crushed stone, old bones, getting what you pay for Boss don't know that the devil give me double for You've got me waiting on the vine You've got me waiting on the vine In time Trade in my soul for the flowers that he hold Where I come from green shines brighter than gold I'll take payment in any form you've got, man But you say the teeth don't shine the way the greens can You've got me waiting on the vine You've got me waiting on the vine In time

Dead Man's Coat 03:25
lyrics

Baby, don’t you miss me? I’m in Mississippi Drinking in a dead man’s coat Struck milk and honey In non-consecutive 20’s Stashed in a dead man’s coat Tell the kids We’re done eating rabbits Daddy’s got a dead man’s coat You gotta see this thing I look just like Jesse James Struttin’ in a dead man’s coat Downed by the river The river once raised to save me Downed by the river The river once raised to save me Green eyes from the locket I found in the pocket In nothin’ but a dead man’s coat Twirlin’ ‘round the room To a George Jones tune Twenty-somethin’ in a dead man’s coat Got sidetracked But baby, I’ll be back Like a savior in a dead man’s coat You’ve got to see this thing It’s got big bone buttons Seven—on a dead man’s coat Downed by the river The river once raised to save me Downed by the river The river once raised to save me

Roses 03:36

Hold the roses Save ‘em for the one Who ain't on the run Who got the roots Who'll bear you the fruits Give the roses To your husband instead I can't smell ‘em if I'm dead And I'd be dead If I stayed I’d be dead And it’s a long way back It’s a long way down that track Holdin’ on Holdin’ on Save the roses Put ‘em in the cup Where the sun come up Where the dream Is just like it seem Smell the roses It’s the price we got to pay For faking this a-way Have you forgot? We fell for what we’re not And it’s a long way back And it’s a long way down that track Holdin’ on Holdin’ on And it’s a long way back And it’s a long way down that track Holdin’ on Holdin’ on

Haunted 04:08

Oh, wash it out and go You, who found my life in the living There they hold my soul so wash it out You, the one to find the ghost Haunted Haunted Oh, wash it out You, O mighty dog at the altar Flood it out You with hands held high on the water Haunted Haunted Oh, wash it out You, who found my life in the middle On an autumn-harvest moonlight howl You can sing my life to the rhythm Haunted Haunted Haunted Haunted

Fetch 03:45
lyrics

Oh, Mr. Burns, Mr. Tear it off my soul, Mr., hate Sticks to me like the hook sticks to bait Sticks to me but make no mistake The devil they preach about, he ain’t a fake Lo & behold now what do you see? I see the eyes of the idol looking back at me And he’s broken Ha, easy for you, you ain’t got the hellhound huntin’ after you Let me guess, she blew a kiss With an effortless flick of her wrist And you done fetched The catch The catch was what you fetched Oh, Mr. Burns, Mr. Tear it off my soul, Mr., fear Whittles its way into my ear Whispers on the widows, on their fate Whispers a bit too late Oh, Mr., what do you see? I see the eyes of the idol looking back at me And they’re hollow Ha, easy for you, you ain’t got the light spilling out of you You’re alright, little boy fright Burn so bright in the dark of night In the name of who? Who can’t be named

Slow Motion 03:06
lyrics

The reaper rides around She rounds the morning on patrol It’s easy riding around The town where I ghost all slow I feel so Friday, feel the ending of my life I feel so Friday, I don't slow I just ride And don't say die again Those dice don't seem to roll alone I got no mind to die On this side of town, man Go start the car I feel the heat, the heat is hot on trail And you go riding by in slow motion And I saw everything in slow motion

Running Thru the Ghost 03:12
lyrics

Lost on the freeway, killin’ time Lookin’ for somethin’ to find When, whoa, like lightnin’ strikes the tree That for what I wasn’t lookin’ for found me Runnin’ through the ghost Returnin’ from the coast Oh, what a feelin’ to be free Yesterday’s tomorrows behind me Nowhere I’m going, no where to be Know where I go ain’t up to me Runnin’ through the ghost Returnin’ from the coast

Stray (Many More Miles) 05:08

A smuggler’s always got to look Casually over his shoulder The law watches the law The law watches the money But I’ve driven that train many more miles than I’ve driven that train many more miles than I’ve driven that train many more miles than I’ve driven that train many more miles A smuggler’s always got to keep Cool and a gun under the driver’s seat The law watches the land The land watches the money But I’ve driven that train many more miles than I’ve driven that train many more miles than I’ve driven that train many more miles than I’ve driven that train many more miles

Jubilee 03:32

What do you get when you pull The weasel from his hole? What do you get when you take The real deal for the fake? All the king’s horses All the king’s men Can’t put the kingdom Back together again All the king’s horses All the king’s men Can’t put the kingdom Back together again Jubilee, the ending’s begun One’s folly’s another’s fun Jubilee, throw a blanket on the sun The ending’s begun Put on your best parakeet Flap your wings and repeat Put on your best parakeet All the king’s horses All the king’s men Can’t put the kingdom Back together again All the king’s horses All the king’s men Can’t put the kingdom Back together again Jubilee, the ending’s begun One’s folly’s another’s fun Jubilee, throw a blanket on the sun The ending’s begun

Rescue 03:51
lyrics

Hey Greg, have you got twenty dollars? It only costs twenty dollars But I only have ten dollar bills How do you expect to start a revolution revolving around careless thoughts? How do you expect to say anything With your hands tied by the man? How do you know that they’re watching you When you sleep When you daydream When you're at work? How do you not know that they’re watching you When you sleep When you daydream When you're at work? Call it future, call it past The present’s the only thing that seems to last Call it future, call it past The present’s the only thing that seems to last

Who could survive it Knowing what they know? You could survive it Only one I know Who could survive it? They already know You could survive it Only one I know Who could survive it Knowing what they know? You could survive it The only one I know Who could survive it? They already know You could survive it

Who could survive it Knowing what they know? You can survive it Only one I know Who could survive it? They already know You could survive it It’s only rock and roll Who could survive it? We’re all on our own But who could survive it? Answer the unknown Who could survive it? Carol of the drones You could survive it Oceans overgrown Who could survive it? No one that I’ve known You could survive it Risen is the road Who could survive it Given what they owe? You could survive it Maybe all alone Who could survive it Knowing what they know? You could survive it Only one I know Why would they hide it Given what they know? I can’t fight it I can’t survive it Now, who could survive it? Who could survive it? Who could survive it? Who could survive it?
