Trade in that dusty six shooter For a rusted set of strings Blow into that harmonica boy Until your soul disconnects from the screams Ive been waiting oh so long To hear your voice again Ive been waiting oh so many years To see where my story begins So trade in that wallet of cash For some free time out in the woods With a few logs for the campfire and gas We’ll have all we need and all we should I wish you were here So you could experience these things with me But you’re gone for good, its been 3 long years I just wish you could see what has become of me But Its too late to take things back and I would have said things differently It’s too late to have Thoughts like that because I know That you’re gone you’re gone from me Trade in that dusty six shooter for a rusted set of strings trade in that old angry attitude For some peace And some love And harmony

Oh I’ve been walking down that dirty road for days Oh I’ve been walking down that dirty road for days My baby’s beside me and thats the way its gonna stay Lord knows I ain’t seen the sun for days Lord knows I ain’t seen the sun for days I wait for the full moon so I can go out to play Lord knows I need to change Lord knows I need to change I got the devil inside me Thats why I get on my knees and pray Oh woah get on my knees and pray Oh woah get on my knees and pray I Pray to the Lord to take these devilish blues away Oh Lord knows I need to change Oh Lord knows I need to change Ive got the devil inside me That's why I get on knees and pray Oh woah get on my knees and pray Oh woah get on my knees and pray Pray to the Lord take these devilish blues Pray to the lord take these devilish blues Pray to the Lord take these devilish blues away

Doctor doctor I think I’m sick Well I, I need another cigarette Well these pills I’m taking just won’t do the trick so Hurry doctor, hurry quickly now Doctor doctor I need the news Well I’ve got a case of them smoking blues Well I can Hardly breath and well, I’ve lost my youth Hope it sucked away the truth, the truth now Doctor doctor i’m going fast Well I’m only trying to make this life last But the melancholy from the past It only keeps me hanging back, back now Doctor doctor I think I’m sick Well I, I need another cigarette Well these pills I’m taking just won’t do the trick so Hurry doctor, hurry quickly now

Let me tell you about a girl I know She’ll leave with furrowed brow And heart so low She’ll take everything you have She’ll steal your lover she’ll steal your friends She’s a black hearted lady Black hearted lady don’t you know Give her a drink she’ll leave you dry Give her a smoke she’ll keep you high Show you things not of this world For she’s a beast and not a girl She’s a black hearted lady Black hearted lady don’t you know Took all my whisky Drank all my wine Seduced my lover Now I’m still trying to find That black heart of mine Black heart of mine oh hey, hey, hey Let me tell you about that night time tramp She’ll steal your wallet if you take her for a dance She’ll steal your mind if you take her for a whirl You give her diamonds you give her pearls She’s a black hearted lady Black hearted lady don’t you know Took all all my whisky Drank all my wine Seduced my brother now I’m still trying to find That black heart of mine Black heart of mine Hey hey hey Black heart of mine Black heart of mine Oh hey hey hey

Cast Me Out 04:05
I fell asleep in the sand thinking of things that drive me crazy baby, wouldn’t you like to know I laid awake in your arms watching my thoughts just drip like rain and softly slowly disappear I’ve got a pistol to my head but its keeping me well fed I’ve got knife up to my back but its helping me relax I’ve got 10 problems you ain’t one my lifes a mess but its still fun at least for today I need a fix I need it soon so beat me with your broom and cast me out I sat and stared at the stars watching the web that binds us closely, folding you know I wouldn’t hold my breath I took a walk through your mind Lift back the the veil see what lies behind but I wouldn’t like what I find I’ve got a pistol to my head but its keeping me well fed I’ve got knife up to my back but its helping me relax I’ve got 10 problems you ain’t one my lifes a mess but its still fun at least for today I need a fix I need it soon so beat me with your broom and cast me out (cats meow) I need a fix i need it soon so beat me with your broom and cats meow

I’m a lonesome traveler just living by myself Take my worries lightly I put em' on shelf Well I Ain’t got no place to go Guess i’ll take it slow Ain’t got no place to be Living easy and free I once crossed a great ocean to find a better home When my ship landed I knew that I was bound to roam Your possessions mean nothing to me in time they too will fade So let this lonesome traveler be on his way There’s no turning back now my fate is sealed Can’t fight the current while the water wets my weary heals That ocean is far away but I can feel that salty breeze From the bottom of my heart and in my darkest of dreams A new dawn is coming a new light to light my way That old ship is sinking And with it the dark that lead me astray Gotta find my bearings north or south or east or west Gotta walk that solid ground and try my very best I’m a lonesome traveler just living by myself Take my worries lightly I put em on shelf Well I ain’t got no place to go Guess I’ll take it slow Ain’t got no place to be Living easy and free

Sorry 05:47
You can say your sorry but that won’t help Talk about your worries or put em' on a shelf But I can see straight through your crooked ways Cause you know that level is level and straight is straight So why do you wait around for something to lift You off the ground And turn you into something you can’t feel Get behind the wheel Now tonights the last time you’ll make a mistake The ashtrays running off with your heart She don’t need your bullshit boy She’s already gone She don’t need your bullshit boy She’s already long gone So why do you wait For that liquid To turn you into Something you can’t feel While I’m I’m waiting On my knees for a release Or A better pill You can’t say you’re sorry that won’t help You can’t say you're sorry that won’t help Been sick for days I’m shakin' now It’s the same damned cycle you can’t get out I can say I’ve seen much better days And all the while you recommend this state So why do you wait for that liquid to turn you into something you can’t feel While I’m waiting on my knees for a release Or a Better pill You can’t say your sorry that won’t help You can’t say your sorry that help
