Our Night
For the better part of
half the day
I bust my ass for minimum
wage
But I come home to the
sun and a glass of wine
The trees around don’t
provide much shade
But that’s okay ‘cause
I’m pretty pale
And I’d like to shed some
light on this hell
This is the time to live
the best days of our lives
As we sing about the
summer sun
That shines right through
the night
And the day that’s about
to come
Is the last thing on our
minds
This is our night
If the summer ends
without a raise
Then I’ll be out of there
anyway
Damn the man, then fold
my hands and pray
I’ll move on without a
plan
Just good intent and
guitar in hand
I’ll travel around and
plug my band
I’d like to get myself
back to the streets
Feel the rush of it all
living through me
Get over all the things
that I can’t change
Make the best of the real
world
I’ll learn to live with
no regret
#FML
Went out last night when I
should have been home
Left my baby all alone
I got up, I went out, I got
drunk
Fuck my luck here we go again
It’s just me and the bottle
my friend
Been through so much
Lets do it again
She knew I lied and I never
tried
And I would never quit this
vice
When it starts this bad it
can only get worse
But it’s hard to leave when
the sex is good
He talks to much, says the
dumbest shit
Takes too many drugs and he’s
always lit
Nickels & Dimes
They're tryin' to close the
place down
But we've taken up the stage
The darkness kinda pierces me
The lights, they do the same
Another day of dreamin' it
seems, and I'm feelin' mighty fine
I ask myself a question, with
an answer I don't need to find
It was this life that I wanted,
right?
People askin' me for nickels
When I haven't got a dime
My newly blistered fingertips
Are takin' up my time
Another night of livin' in
the lights out on the town
It's only been four nights,
and I'm already burnin' out
I'm busy workin' daily
To make enough to play
This music's my obsession
My will says there's a way
Don't know if I can do this
With a little help, I will
Ooh-oh I'm livin' for this
thrill
This li-i-i-i-ife is all I
need
Oh, it's all I need!
Goodnight
Long night out on the
town
Feels like we've made our
rounds
Barkeeper says it's time
to
Drink up and get out!
The last drink went
straight to my head
I should get home to bed
If I plan to work at 6:00
AM
I walk outside of the bar
I never make it too far
Before I feel another
Good time comin'
Better stick to the plan
I make poor decisions
When I make 'em after 2:00
AM
When I get carried on
this way
I can be easy to persuade
And then I find it hard
to say
"Goodnight"
GOODNIGHT!
Lights Out
I can feel it in the air
again
When the chill in the
wind seeps through my skin
Into my bones
And my body starts
shaking
Like something’s escaping
from my soul
I’m in a room full of
people I will never really know
But we all come together
for the sake of the show
And the band plays
Takes my mind out of deep
thought
Gives me a reason to sing
along
And I won’t change the
path I’m on
Sometimes it’s hard to
hide the hate in my eyes
But one of these days
you’re gonna lose that smile
That lights up the path
you’re on
The night begins to come
alive
The crowd gets looser as
band hits a groove
That sounds so tight
My mind’s been racing
But it can’t keep up with
my drive
The signs keep telling me
to stay between the lines
But my heart starts
jumping to new highs
Oh, you’ve gotta feel it girl
Oh, you’ve gotta feel it girl
Right down your spine
Oh, you’ve gotta feel it
girl
Like I feel in mine
Oh, you’ve gotta
feeeeeel…
Morning Light
Give me a guitar and an
open fire
A handful of people to
amuse
And usually I’d sing the
blues
But now I’ve got a
different point of view
Crack a beer, crack a
joke
Play a song to make 'em
move
‘Cause rock n’ roll is
ageless tunes
And laughter’s more
contagious than the flu
And when the music goes
all night
You’re sure to find your
soul in the morning light
We’ll play our music to
the rising sun
Dance and drink until
we’re gone
To make sure you could
sing along
We put this next line
into our song
La la la lalala
La la la lala la laaa
When the music goes right
through the night
‘Till the lights go out
and the sun gets bright
And the simplest things
can amuse our minds
In the morning light
Like some fool playing
their guitar
Strumming just a single
chord
Or a group of people
singing
Oh oh oh
Atlantic Ocean
Sitting high up on this
rock
The crowds of people walk
beneath my feet
But they don't see
me
And my song just lingers
in the trees
As I sing, I am watching
The waves roll in as
steady as the beat
And the water
Goes as far as I can see
The Atlantic Ocean has my
eyes swimmin'
And I just wish that you
could see it
'Cause I would love to
share this feeling
But you're so far away
from here
Now the song ends, and I
start thinking
About the short time we
shared
And I wonder if we ever
will again
As I look around me,
there's so much beauty
Fear This change
My whole life, I stayed in
one place
I took the easy road, Let
time be my grave
But I’ll be stagnant no more,
I’ll get out of this town
I’ll be my own man, I won’t
let you bring me down
I won’t fear this change
The life that I want, It
ain’t the one I got
I wanna see the whole world,
I wanna fall in love
But this change won’t come,
by the hand of God
I need to do this myself, or
stay here and rot
I’ve defeated my weakness,
I’ve laid it to rest
Victories inside me and I’m
at my best
No more working for nothing I
won’t be your slave
My freedom’s my power I’ll
take to my grave
Now
She’s a flower who’s
never judged a soul
She’d find the good in
anyone
And he’s a stubborn man
that drove her cold
The way he’d drink and
lose control
He’s changed a lot these
days, but it’s no use
She just remembers the
abuse
She’s put up with his
shit for all these years
And now to his surprise…
He’s on the other side of
it now
And he can’t believe what
he’s done to himself
There’s a light at the
end
But he’s spending his
last days in hell
There’s a strong
resentment in her eyes
It’s clear he’ll never
make it right
So he just lights a smoke
and watches time
In hopes that it will
pass him by
She never shows her smile
when he’s around
And now it’s wearing him
down
Bless Your Heart
Damn the way that you
looked at me
That turned me into glass
And swept me off my feet
Damn the way I believed
But bless your heart
Damn the way that you
looked at them
Damn the way they looked
back
Like they had already had
you
And you had your way with
them
But bless your heart
Damn the way that you
didn’t speak
When I opened up and told
you
Just the way I feel
And damn the way that
feels
Damn the way I still hold
this grudge
Damn the way I still
think about it so damn much
Since you left me in the
dust
But bless your heart
I’m bitter to the end,
but in the end
It’s just a game we all
play, and the rules always change
So I’ll put it in the
past, ‘cause time is moving so fast
And sing for tomorrow,
today should never last this long
Damn this town, it’s
making me feel old
And damn this place, I
hesitate to call home
And damn the way things go
Damn the way I still hate
my job
Damn the way I can’t just
appreciate what I got
And damn that which never
stops
But bless your heart
