Mountain Town

Ghosts were closing in I was feeling uptight
I picked up the phone on a Friday night
Had to get away so I dialed your number
You were feeling the same way
How's about you pack a bag we'll load up your car
Bring those High style boots that I bought you
To wear at the bars
The black strapless dress I remember so well
Tell everyone they can go to hell
I'll bring the vodka and the Valium
Let's head on up to a mountain town
Yeah I'll bring the vodka and Valium
We'll head on up to a mountain town
I've been bleeding slow from a wound it's been hard to heal
You were the friend who said Il'l make you a deal
I'll buy the gas if you'll rent the room
If we never come back, that would be too soon
Come on my friend let's head on up to a mountain town
Come on my friend will head on up to a mountain town
Hide away our fears behind beautiful lies
Let the past just be erased
You were so right when you said I was selfish,
Lacking so much grace
When I dream, I dream in numbers,
Zeros and nothing at all
I want to figure out your puzzles and
Climb behind your walls
Fade Into the night with you up past the moon and stars
Listen to a sad song playing on a cheap guitar
I bite upon the hand that feeds
Watch it bleed out cold and slow....
Let's forget about things, forget about things
We think we should know
Yeah we can leave our troubles far behind
We can ride into that Sunset light
Watch your shadows fade watch him fade away
Beneath the night of a mountain sky
I believe it's been coming so long
It's a fine line between right and wrong
All I want to do, is lay down next to you and
Spend some time, beneath the mountain sky

Ballad of Katie Mae
05:45
|
|
||
|
Climb the steps of the gallows
thirteen pinewood stairs
a crowd gathered round to see him laid down
for what they could not care...
Children strained to see 'neath a hot noon sun
a man about to hang for a crime he never done...
Katie may she made her way
by the silk and satin gown
A debutante, by all account she threw aside her crown
High Society payed her no pity...
until she got a knife right through the heart
As the blood pooled around her blond Golden Crown
a judge's daughter Never Dies alone
Tyler Brown came from a side of town
where the sun refused to shine
He was born to a ma' that had done 'em all
she never seemed to mind
A modest act cost ten 'fitty
for twenty more she'd cross the line...
but when he met Katie may it strangled up his mind
a judge's daughter Never Dies alone
Sheriff Bill was the King of the Hill
he had the whole town scared to spit
he was drawn to a girl, that one little doll
that little blonde he could never get...
Katie Mae told Bill No..I'll never play your game
but no wasn't a word Billy knew
Late that night when he came around
to lay poor Katie down.....
a judge's daughter went and died alone
well, climb the steps of The Gallows
thirteen pinewood stairs
a crowd gathered 'round to see him laid down
for what they could not care...
Children strained to see 'neath a hot noon sun
a man about to hang for a crime he never done...
And when they came around to cut poor Tyler down
an innocent man went Swinging From The Gallows that day

My name is Deshawna Williams
I drive a Bus in D.C.
Some days off,... I walk down by the wall
I find the name of my father
Among all of the others
I turn to the west and I cry
There's only silence
From the victims of violence
There's only silence
From the victims of violence
My name is Ibrim Muhammed
I live in East Aleppo
I had just turn the corner when the blast occurred
I thought I saw my sister.. At least what was left of her
I turn to the east under empty Skies
And I Cry
There's only silence
From the victims of violence
There's only silence
From the victims of violence

Let it Roll
03:08

Heading down to Charlotte with a Memphis queen
Met him down on Beale Street
He was dressed in green...
Rolling through the hills, hollows of Tennessee
By the time we hit the state line he was looking hard at me
Let it Roll, Let it Roll
Let it Drop...
Hit Charlotte Town about a quarter to ten
Left him at a bar called The Dude Drop Inn
Met this hippy chick, she was young and brunette
Asked me my name I said jump on in...
Let it Roll, Let it Roll, aaah Let it Rock
Balled that peach in Georgia
We slammed in Alabam,
Shit went down in Mississippi, I'll never understand...
Sliding out of Slidelll into The Crescent City
Washed up in a sink, she was lookin' kinda' pretty
Let it Roll, Let it Roll, aaaah Let it go
She'd run away from Tulsa, she was just sixteen
I almost lost my freedom down in New Orleans...
Get me out of The Pelican State
Get my ass back to The Golden Gate
Let it Roll, Let it Roll, Let it Rock

Romeo
03:31
|

The sunshine hits the window, the wind begins to gust
It stirs the notes within the air..sunlight hits the dust
Romeo, Romeo..could this be all it seems?
Romeo, I know this just ain't your scene
We were talking about heading South as was discussed
He flicked his little lighter, and touched it to the dust
Romeo, Romeo....reset the tabbing machine
Romeo...I know this just ain't your scene
The moonlight through the arbor, illuminates the rust
on the gate swinging back and forth.
The moonlight knifes the dusk
Romeo, Romeo...could this all be a dream?
Romeo, I know this just ain't your scene

Slice of the Pie

Little Johnny Jewel, he liked to play it real cool
He loved his Television
He loved to hang 'round the band
Little Rocket Reeba, she's a sweet chicita
Rarely makes the shows, but always knows
There's a backstage pass
We can't say nothing, nothing for nothing
But we still do....
And talk about it the whole night through
In a world that get's complicated
You learn to lie....
We all want a slice of the pie
Christina Two Times...she went to get the papers
She's from Detroit...she loves Quentin Tarrantino
She loves Kung Fu movies, she seems a little moody
as she makes her way accross the dance floor tonight
We can't say nothing, nothing for nothing
But we still do...
And talk about it the whole night through
In a world that get's complicated
You learn to lie....
We all want a slice of the pie
Where have all those good days gone
Afternoons were long and sleepy
You'd take me the hand and tell me everything
Will be alright...
Those days have turned to nights
Now I drink alone and stare at the phone
Wishing I could call you up....
We can't say nothing, nothing for nothing
But we still do....
And talk about it the whole night through
In a world that get's complicated
You learn to lie....
We all want a slice of the pie..
