What’s the worst that could happen? I said to my friends as I pack up my old truck and I begin to leave again I’ll drive til I find comfort, some place that’s warm all year And if you would care to join me I’ve got music for your ears I don’t think that we’ll be rich but I know we won’t be bored And if the ocean eats the beaches we’ll wash up on the shore We’ll build a boat and float around, singing Rocky Raccoon And if the piano doesn’t please you I’ll write you something new But how would it go? How would it go? I’ve been around long enough to know That if you stay in one place you’ll never grow Don’t turn to me when you’re sorry That your life has passed you by Oh no, I tried What’s the worst that could happen? I said with a grin as I turn my back on income for a life I want to live And if I die too early because I couldn’t pay to pray At least I lived for something and my heart has always stayed Full of love and best intentions for my closest friends It was them who really knew me and through them I’ll live again So when I’m gone please sing our songs even if they’re not As good as we remembered them when we were all so young If that’s how it goes well then that’s who it goes Right? I’ve been around long enough to know That if you stay in one place you’ll never grow Don’t turn to me when you’re sorry That your life has passed you by Oh no, I tried

Remember when we used to be invincible, a tuned machine? Nothing stopped our train of though because we stayed young & we stayed lost So let’s make a promise now when we meet the wolf we won’t back down Even if he storms the house we’ll make a stand, we won’t back down Hell no Now we’re our only friends It’s up to us how this all ends Yeah we’re our only friends So let’s stay young and lost We’ll fight them off no matter what the cost is Let’s stay young and lost Looking down a wishing well I lost a buck, I saw myself I prayed hard to what’s above to bring me back to what I love We only get so much time, so when it’s done just say goodnight Anyone can choose to die, not everyone lives their life Now we’re our only friends It’s up to us how this all ends Yeah we’re our only friends So let’s stay young and lost We’ll fight them off no matter what the cost is Let’s stay young and lost

The Classic 03:08
You grab the rope and I’ll go tie the noose I’ll hang in your tree all afternoon You can bring me drinks and things and I’ll make you smile If I can’t though I bet I can you can lay with me a while Oh if this isn’t love Oh then I don’t know what it was You pass the note and I’ll go grab the loot And we’ll run from the cops all afternoon You can bring me news of things and I’ll keep keeping score Marry me won’t you marry me? Oh darling I completely adore you Oh if this isn’t love Oh then I don’t know what it was

2010 was hard on me But I finally found some room to breathe I had to fight my way out of it I had to rearrange everything Oh but heartbreak is nothing new It’s only unique when it happens to you And you’re certain that the world has stopped But I assure you that it never does Go on, go on Forget that girl she is gone Go on, go on And you will find another one 21’s been hard on you I know you think it is ending too soon But you must take whatever you can And realize it’ll happen again Oh because loneliness is nothing new No it will come and it will pass your whole life through And when you’re certain that the world has stopped Just remember that it never does Go on, go on Forget that girl she is gone Go on, go on And you will find another one

All My Life 03:35
I’ve been searching for you all my life Well now I found you and I’m out of time I’m afraid to close my eyes tonight Because in the morning we must say goodbye Oh I hate goodbyes But this is the life I chose I know, So baby goodbye I was hoping we could spend the week But you had plans and I had planned to leave I tell you 90 days ain’t that long Then you point out I traded you for songs I hate the sound of my voice when I am wrong But baby c’mon I don’t want to leave you I’m starting to get used to you Now I need you Yeah I need you Time never is on our side I have chased you all my life Why can’t I just keep this one? Why can’t I just get what I want? Baby c’mon We were laying on our backs when I Told you I’d make you my wife You started laughing then you said “I do” But in the morning blamed it all on the booze Oh I hate the sound of your voice when it’s not true Baby what should I do? I don’t want to leave you I’m starting to get used to you Now I need you Yeah I need you Time never is on our side I have chased you all my life Why can’t I just keep this one? Why can’t I just get what I want? Baby c’mon

Everything I love is slowly killing me The girls, the drinks, the drugs, the way that I scream My throat is raw and my heart can’t take anymore I know you say you’re sorry but it seems that you’re not You said some shitty things and now my baby you’ve caught me on the chin My head is still spinning My heart is anchored to you So this ship won’t float And I go down with you These waves will eat my face With my final breath I curse your name Everything I love is slowly killing me These labels love my band but they don’t love me They are scared of what I might say as they should be I’ve done my time and paid my dues, it’s time to get paid I’m black and blue and beaten down, I’m so full of rage But I love the taste and I need it everyday My heart is anchored to you So this ship won’t float And I go down with you These waves will eat my face With my final breath I curse your name

The Fight 04:27
You asked me for the time I said my girl I have all night I told you how I used to smoke two packs but now I don’t You said that’s great I’m really proud of you But do you have a light? I said I do Between the bars and broken hearts our conversation never starved We were fully functioning alcoholics conquering Our present selves and past defeats Familiar with catastrophe all too well Once there was no hope Girls will come & go Some friends will do the same But the ones you truly need are the ones that always stay Please let me remind you I am beside you Don’t give up the fight We go down together I’m down for whatever Don’t give up the fight I asked you how you felt about traveling around with me You said you’d quit your job and that your mom could take you dog I said I don’t just how we’ll eat But I will always sing to you my sweet So we packed our bags and then we drove and drove and drove Until we ran out of road and the air smelled of ocean breeze You’ll never look as beautiful to anyone As you do now to me Once there was no hope Girls will come & go Some friends will do the same But the ones you truly need are the ones that always stay Please let me remind you I am beside you Don’t give up the fight We go down together I’m down for whatever Don’t give up the fight I woke up one morning and learned that she had boarded an airplane back to Tennessee I sat there alone and threw stones into the ocean I watched each one sink just like me I called my best friend I said it happened to me again I loved her well but she just had to leave I said can you come get me man? I think I’m going crazy Before I could even say please He said Girls will come & go Some friends will do the same But the ones you truly need are the ones that always stay Please let me remind you I am beside you Don’t give up the fight We go down together I’m down for whatever Don’t give up the fight

Let’s go out, let’s go out I want to see the town I want to make some new friends I want to see what’s happening Let’s get down, we’re only here one night Let’s find some women Let’s pick a fight Let’s go down swinging Let’s fall in love Let’s make damn sure they remember us We want to go out so don’t you dare stand in our way We are old enough to know better but you don’t have a say I love this town, I love this town I don’t want to go I want to see my old friends I wonder what I’m missing Well we’re here tonight so let’s get loose You call your dealer & I’ll supply the booze We’ll race the morning Embrace the night And then tomorrow We’ll come back to life We want to go out so don’t you dare stand in our way We are old enough to know better but you don’t have a say

Hello, how are you? Tell me how have you been I think it’s Wednesday Yeah it’s Wednesday or something Actually it doesn’t matter at all See, the reason I called Is I wanted to say So many things I won’t say to your face You’re a thousand miles away Tell Texas to keep her I ain’t coming back I’ve been up and down And where I’ve been I’m not the same person now Now I’m three records deep I’m kicking a dead horse I though was asleep Hello, how the hell are you? Tell me how long has it been? It must be my birthday Is it my birthday or something? You know what, actually it doesn’t matter at all The reason I called Is I’ve go so much to say And each of these things I can’t say to your face Because you’re a thousand miles away Tell New York to keep her I ain’t coming back I’ve been up and down And who I am Shit I’m not the same person now Now I’m three records deep Kicking a dead horse I thought was asleep

Free At Last 02:14
She’s my baby oh she’s my girl She’s the finest woman in the whole wide world But my baby ain’t been so sweet to me Now she is a ghost and I am free I am free So now I’m on the run, I’m on the go I left my family and I left my home I told my father to go and hide my gun I’ll come back for it when my work is done For now I am gone It’s two years later and they’re hunting for me They caught up with me down in New Orleans They took three shots and the first two missed I only took one shot but I caught him in the chest He is dead Yeah we’re both dead Now I’m free I’m free at last
11.
Good Lord! 02:19
Go on leave No one’s stopping you, please I don’t want no trouble It looks like I just found some Wednesday night, we went out for one drink But it turned into this whole thing Good lord I’m in trouble You don’t need To prove yourself to me I’ll take your word That you’re tough You know me I can’t say no to free things I tried it once and I loved it Good lord I’m an addict You and me We set this path onto nothing What the hell were we thinking? You know we was drinking! (at 308) We don’t need To prove a single thing We are exactly Where we want to be Yeah we are exactly Where we want to be
12.
If I’m happy now Then what would I write about? I’ve been alone for a long while And I’ve gotten old and weird I’m so set in my own ways And you’re all set in yours That’s to be expected but there is no cure They say love is certain but I’m not so sure I say I want love and affection I act like it’s something owed to me Well I think I just needed some attention You were only trying to know me How long will it take before I wake up? There’s something good in front of me I’d better fuck it up Oh man why do I do all the things I’ve always done It never works out well for me but hey I’m having fun Hey I’m having fun If you leave right now Then I’ll have plenty to write about I’ll exaggerate and stretch every story yes I’ll let My imagination run wild and free In one song you’ll be the martyr In the next one you’ll be a monster And you won’t get a say when I’m one light year away I’ve got no intention of returning to your town I say I want love and affection I act like it’s something owed to me Well I think I just needed some attention You were only trying to love me How long will it take before I wake up? There’s something good in front of me I’d better fuck it up Oh man why do I do all the things I’ve always done? It never works out well for me but hey I’m having fun Hey I’m having fun Hey I’m having fun

Love & Death 01:40
I was thinking all about my life I began obsessing how I’ll die How will I go? Fast or slow Will I be surrounded by everyone I’ve known? I hope so My grandma died right in her husband’s arms The night she passed she stole my grandpa’s heart I don’t want to scare you But that’s what I want I want to love somebody so well That when I die they can’t go on Are you in or out?
14.
Boy learn to be a man, learn to be a man If you want love Girl don’t give it all away Save some for yourself What would your father say? Lord have mercy on me You know that I’m weak And I don’t believe I just want love Show it to me If I cannot have her Then I don’t want a thing Love Show it to me Love Show it to me One day you’ll figure it out No you never had her She just kept you around But she made you a man Yeah she toughened you up I know right now it hurts like hell But boy that’s love Love Show it to me Love Show it to me
15.
I called you to tell you I'm doing just fine Although that may come to you as a surprise I called you to tell you I'm sorry it's been two weeks I tell you I've been busy as I lie through my teeth You see mom I've just been stripped from my pace All of my friends are scattered all over the place So I called you to tell you I hate how I hurt What's worse is I know you'll just fill me with worth You always said need not for nothing You always told me that what I've got it works Well I need some new advice 'cuz I'm just barely scraping by What if I'm wrong Tell me I'm not What if I cashed in all of my good luck Too soon and now I have run out Tell me I'm wrong I called you to tell you I'm living the dream You ask how I've been eating as I pour myself a drink You say you can hear that quiver in my voice The same quiver you once knew when I was just a young boy If we're being honest then I'll tell it like it is I'm so sick of trying but I don’t know how to quit Nashville’s my home & I need her in my lungs But she ain't opened up & I've spilled out my guts You always said need not for nothing You’ve always told me that what I've got is gold Well I need some new advice 'cuz I'm just barely scraping by What if I'm wrong Tell me I'm not What if I cashed in all of my good luck Too soon and now I have run out Tell me I'm wrong Mom I'm a drifter I just thought you should know And sometimes this river is angry and cold But I wouldn't trade it for a fence and a door I just wish I was better at climbing aboard So if it looks like I'm drowning well I probably am But don't cry and don't try to throw me a hand ’Cuz I'd rather die here and die like a man And maybe that's wrong but it's all that I have You always said need not for nothing You’ve always said that with what I’ve go I’m on fire Well I need some new advice 'cuz I'm put out, my arms are tired What if I'm wrong Tell me I'm not What if I cashed in all of my good luck Too soon and now I have run out Tell me I'm wrong
