Album Lyrics....

---

ITS BEEN SAFE FOR TOO LONG, AND THE KETTLES SCREAMING HOT, 

SOLD UP THE RIVER A LONG TIME AGO BUT FEELINGS MEAN SHIT WHEN THEY'RE BOUGHT.

THE BALLROOM'S SET AND READY, CHEERS TO THE DOG AND PONY SHOW,

BEEN KICKED OUT FOR A DAMN GOOD REASON BUT THEN AGAIN THE MINDS THE LAST THING TO GO.

BLESS THEIR HEARTS LOOK LIKE THEY JUST SEEN A GHOST

BLESS YER HEART ALWAYS THE LAST ONE TO KNOW

PATIENTS SHATTERED THE WINDOW, DOCTORS FUCKING JUMPING AGAIN, 

PUPPETS TIED UP TO THE WHIPPING POST JUST HANGING AROUND WITH FRIENDS.

PRIM AND PROPER LIL DANDY, DELICATE TO THE TOUCH, LIKES CRYING ALL ALONE IN THE SPOTLIGHT JUST SO YOU GET TO SEE HIM BLUSH

CANT DENY THE SYMPTOMS, PANIC'S SETTING IN, SUNDAY MORNINGS COMING DOWN WITH A HEART ATTACK AGAIN

You know I got problems man,

And ya know I’ll cross the line.

Ridin these rails aint easy, friend,

When the bacon aint cooked and the chicken aint fryin

Well I’m headed to greener pastures,

From Tucumcari to the Great Divide,

Winking at the girl in the rear view

All there is to do is buckle up and drive

I cant keep pushing this rig

If we’re just goin south

I’d rather be headin nowhere

All I got to say is over and out

I aint livin in yer make em up world

And I aint beatin it to death

I’m drivin nails and layin down pipe

And all you lay down is disrespect

I cant keep pushing this rig

If we’re just goin south

I’d rather be headin nowhere

All I got to say is over and out

   WELL SOMETIMES LIFE SURE IS EASY AND SOMETIMES IT’LL PUT YOU TO THE TESTSOME FOLKS NEVER SEEM TO STRUGGLE AND OTHER FOLKS STRUGGLE AT THEIRBESTIVE BEEN BROKEN DOWN AND ON THE BORROW, BEEN ACES UP AND ON THE LENDBLACKED OUT WORRIED ABOUT TOMORROW, UP AND DOWN AND READY TO DO IT AGAIN

RIDING HIGH RIDING HIGHSINKING LOW SINKING LOWJUST KEEPING UP WHEN YOUR LOSING HOPETAKE A LITTLE TIME AND JUST TRY TO COASTITS BEEN SAID THATS THE WAY IT GOES

WELL, FINDING LOVE HAS NEVER BEEN EASY I SEARCHED AND SEARCHED BUT NEVER FOUNDAND THE  DAY THAT I QUIT CARING THATS THE DAY YOUR SWEET LOVE CAME AROUND

DEATH COMES TO US ALL AND IT AINT NO WONDER AINT NO USE IN TRYING TO CHEAT THE WINDWELL DYING HELL THATS EASY, ITS THE LIVING THAT’LL DO YA IN 

I dated three sisters n only one of them run off

I told her I needed her and she gave me a right cross

The other two were wild but they didn’t have a clue

Oh she made me feel so good,  I’m in love with the flu!

Jolene’s the tallest with them legs so long and lean

Lookin like a movie star as hot as Sandra Dee

Then there’s middle sister, fiesty miss Irene

She learned me the meanin of sandwiched in between

Jolene, Irene… Where are you Vaxinne? 

Jolene, Irene...  Where are you Vaxinne?

Vaxinne, Vaxinne, say it isn’t true,

Searchin all the barrooms but they all closed down for you

Your sisters keep callin me but I won’t take their call

Cuz  yer the only one that give me the fever after all

Jolene, Irene…  Where are you Vaxinne? 

Jolene, Irene...  Where are you Vaxinne?

Rumor is, hey girl, I heard that you is long gone

And I even seen your sisters put yer stuff out on the lawn

Friday night I was home and I swear that you walked by,

Turned yer head, blew a kiss and I bout up n died

Jolene, Irene…  Where are you Vaxinne? 

Jolene, Irene...  Where are you Vaxinne

 It’s been said times are changing but I never pictured it I guess

 I always figured that the time I was wasting wouldn’t be getting wasted every night like this All figured out with nowhere to go 

Never thought the getting gone would be so missed 

Stuck out here in a California town wishing my friends never left

 Well the times are a changing but I never pictured it like this.

If you would’ve told me a year ago I’d be stuck out here with nowhere to go

 The towns closed up and everyone’s gone home to be with their wives and kids

 I’m all dressed up with nowhere to go 

Never thought the getting gone would be so missed 

Stuck out here in California town wishing the very best for my friends.

It’s been said that the times are a changing but I never pictured it I guess 

I always figured that the time I was wasting wouldn’t be getting wasted every night like this But I’m all figured out I got nowhere to go

Never thought the getting gone would be so missed .

Stuck out here in this California town it’s burning up around me I guess 

Wishing my friends never left .

 Red cherry pistol puckered to your lips crushed velvet silk clinging to your chest Burnett baby curls hiding darlins devil eyes garter belt love cuffs dripping off her thighs slide off my leather burn through my sheets come inside my crush bust through my teeth.

Cover me in Sweat drench me in sin throw back your hair I’m filling you again white hot sugar sticky fingers so sweet hard licks breathing hammer out the beat choking out the lust scratching with the nails bottom lip bleeding baby cumming off the rails.

Fresh shaved candy and begging on the leash dirty talk scream queen throbbing so deep back arched teardrops hard from the bite illegal proof addict flowing all night heart crashing double impulses never rest teasing your seat forked tongue dripping wet.

Bottoms up hair pull red from the slap dripping on the sheets clawing down your back eyes rolling jaw dropped breath on the floor good girl bad girl my bedroom whore daddy is out of town so I’m coming back again mom is on her way home she can join in.

THE OVER IT EXPRESS KEEPS ROLLING DOWN THE TRACK.

I HEAR ITS WHISTLE BLOWING EACH AND EVERY NIGHT

AS I’M TURNING BACK.

‘CUZ BABY’S RIGHT THERE WAITING, WAITING TO HOLD ME TIGHT,

KNOWING THAT HER MAN’S COMING HOME 

JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER NIGHT.

IT’S BEEN A REAL LONG AND HARD TWO DAMN YEARS.

CAN’T FIGURE OUT WHY I WANNA CRY ALL THESE TEARS.

IF I DIDN’T KNOW BETTER, I’D THINK I WAS STICKIN’ ‘ROUND FOR THE SEX.

I DON’T KNOW HOW, BUT THERE’S GOTTA BE

A WAY TO GET SOME DISTANCE BETWEEN YOU AND ME.

SO I’M BUYING ME A ONE-WAY TICKET ON THE OVER IT EXPRESS.

BLOW, WHISTLE, BLOW. KEEP WHINING DOWN THE TRACK.

TONIGHT I WILL BE FREE, ALL MY BAGS ARE ALREADY PACKED.

BLOW, WHISTLE, BLOW. KEEP ROLLING DOWN THE LINE.

I HAVE A FIRST CLASS TICKET TO FREEDOM 

AND THERE AIN’T NO CHANGING MY MIND.

 Skipping scales my Cb’s blown just a hot load trucker trying to get home see mama before the stroke of old midnight 

It’s a dirty job but I ain’t afraid I’ve been trucking my whole life just trying to get paid and I’m hauling my fair share of trouble back home tonight.

I’m a man of convictions don’t live by restraints I know what I gotta do don’t worry about what I can’t and I’m sure as hell gonna get mine before I’m gone 

My dad  still questions my sanity but he don’t throw too many stones at me because I know how he got his before I came along.

The road gets cold out here all alone but I don’t like it that way when I get home 

I got some promises to keep to some people who are treating me right 

Just one more law to break and when I’m through it’s the straightest of straights and the truest of trues and lord won’t you ride with me one more time tonight.

Now mamas got that white picket fence standing in her yard and daddy don’t have to work that hard he’s home every night when the supper‘s done

Us kids are tucked tight up in our beds full bellies and better days ahead and daddy ain’t out there living on the run.

Well I knew someday, that you would be leavin me, I can't help what's written in the stars.

Losing is the only thing I'm used to,

And the rest of my money just left me at the bar.

You can love a thousand girls, on beautiful, sunny days.

That takes quite a pocketbook, I've got a pocket full of change.

And finding love, on a dime it might only last a night 

She'll get wise, find some other guy and leave me high and dry.

Brand new shoes, diamond rings, fine French caviar,

And the rest of my money just left me at the bar.

There's someone for you, and there's someone for me

The beautiful girl behind the bar is the only one that I need

Then I found Sue, in Baton Rouge, thinkin she might stay,  

But things went south, when I found out, she was charging me by the day.

When met you, it was cool, you didn't need to see the price tag

Yeah but back on earth she knows what I'm worth and left me holding the bag

All these weeken trips, dining out, this time its gone too far

I'd rather be spending my money at the bar.

From the front porch I can see it rollin in

When the sun goes down I feel it really hit

This big old house is empty as the bottle in my hand

And this storm’s gonna last all night

When it rains, I pour

A double for the heartache

Straight up for the pain

On the rocks like all the memories there in the picture frame

It gets me through the night, But I cant make it through the days

Waitin for, it to rain

In the barroom the clouds will always find me

Through the dim lights the dancing, and the smoke

Across the room, I can still see the faded silhouette

Of a love that’s been washed away and gone

I will take the thunder and the lightning

Over pouring rain any day 

Keep me inside and very far away

Cuz I aint pourin rain 

 YOU NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY I ACTED LIKE I DID,

I COULDN'T GET A WORD IN IF I TRIED.

AND I CAN SEE FOR  YOU IT'S JUST NOW SINKIN IN,

THAT TODAY IS THE LAST TIME WE'LL SAY GOOD BYE.

I'VE SAID IT SWEET, AND I'VE SAID IT CLEAR,

SHOUTED IN YOUR FACE, WHISPERED IT IN YOUR EAR.

I'VE WRITTEN IT ON PAPER, TOLD ALL OF OUR FRIENDS,

PRAYED TO THE HEAVENS, BEGGED IT TO END.

DONE ALL THE THINGS I KNOW TO DO,

EXCEPT PUT IN SONG, MY FINAL GOOD BYE TO YOU.

NOW DON'T START IN WITH ALL YOUR CRYING,

WE BOTH KNOW IT TOOK TWO TO GET US HERE.

IT'S TRUE, I OFTEN SEE WITH DOUBLE VISION,

BUT WHEN DROPPED THE BOOK ON ME IT BECAME SO CLEAR. 

 FOUND YOUR BOOTS ON THE PORCH, THREE FOOT FROM ONE ANOTHER.

 ONE THAT SLIPPED ONE THAT FELL BY THE SIDE.

 YOUR KEYS IN THE DOOR, HAT DIDN’T MAKE THE HOOK.

FOUND YOU ON THE FLOOR EMPTY BOTTLES IN YOUR EYES

BUT YOU WONT CHANGE WILL YOU BABY WE'VE BEEN DOWN THAT ROAD SO MANY TIMES BEFORE 

THEY SAY I SHOULD JUST LEAVE YOU ALONE BUT I DON’T,  BECAUSE I LOVE YOU EVEN MORE THEN BEFORE

I YELLED AND I SCREAMED, BUT NEVER WOULD YOU STIR

 COULDN’T WAKE YOU IN THE MORNING STILL DREAMING OF LAST NIGHT
