On the Ground
02:55

Sad seeds, deep weeds, bad blood’s got a hold on me
Man down, small town, steal me while the wind blows free
Hey, what’s falling down we’ll leave on the ground, leave on the ground
Hey, what’s falling down we’ll leave on the ground, leave on the ground
Late night, stage light, caught fire in the Tennessee heat
Last shot, oh God, burned down but they still sang sweet

Don't Miss Me

Darling’ don’t miss me
Promise you’ll write me on the day that you fall apart
Strap on them fighting boots
The ones that brother left for you with a handwritten note on the counter top
He’s rearranging, he’s a changing score
A sweet river raging, a wake upon the shore
A seam slowly breaking, a secret we’ve never known before
So if you scream and shout,
Your voice will echo loud over busted bone and fields of dust and dirt
I will tilt my head, to the west my friend
I will hear your every word

Summer Seeds
04:36
|

|
Part of me is sewn to the silver sea, softly stitched by your hand
We’d sway and swing by the breath of a begging breeze
Hip to hip, hand to hand
Part of me is bent to the open fields, to the broken skyline
Nestled deep in the bed where the winter sleeps
Tied and tethered to that Illinois line
Do you know when the wind’s gonna blow?
Lie to me if you can
The softest soil where the summer seeds grow?
Lead me if you can
If you can
Part of me is building majesty with a gold hammer and nail
Part of me is cursing the afterlife
Hell bound hounds like fire on my tail

Union Pacific

Stand by the tracks of the union pacific
The land that I’ve wanted to leave
Oh ten years back when the blue river lifted the burdens that buried me deep
And lead me on my way, on my way, on my way home
Stand by the tracks of the union pacific
The land that I’ve wanted to know
Oh I smell those troubled souls and the smoke from their kisses,
the cold on their skin and their bones
They lead me on my way, on my way, on my way home
What I was missing, oh what I was missing, now,
I’ve figured out, oh I’ve figured out
What I was missing, oh what I was missing, now,
I’ve found somehow, found some how
Stand by the tracks of the union pacific
Waiting on the other side
Oh those lonesome roads are searching for the missing highways
Those empty fields look good dressed in white

Better on You
03:40
|
|||
|
Well I don’t ask questions for answers I don’t want to know
I’d rather pretend it was me you wanted the most
So I’ll slip you a drink and I’ll put on that blue Sunday dress
Cause you do better lying when your drunk, when I’m pretty I guess
Don’t you give me your reasons
About what’s right or what’s true
I don’t care what suit you’ve been wearing
I look better on you
Well I’ve only loved a man once, a boy I suppose
With the rest I’ve stood at the fence, I’ve scratched at the door
So I’ll dance with the demons, I’ll blow that steam and when I get close
I’ll do better lying when I side with that old lonesome ghost
To the sun to the moon to whoever you choose
To the preacher, the saints, Jesus Christ
One day I’ll come clean, like the angels I’ll sing, trade these blue jeans for clothes dipped in white
But for tonight…

Out of Time
03:52
|
|||
|
It’s a straight shot west with the street top burning
Rolling steel, at 5 in the morning the stars ran out of their firey flames
Started spitting’ up the blacktop, maybe the plans we grew were all made to bury
But I’m hanging on to that rusty chain
Riding on a thin black wire
On a thick black night
Running out of nerve, out of time,
To get it right
When the seeds I swore were meant to grow, stay beneath the stubborn soil,
Do I wait upon the sun and rain?
Do I shut my mouth, hold my tongue, and let the hours fall upon my palms?
Wish you didn’t have such a hard heart to break
