I have a purpose its just eluding me And I know I've got my own two feet Upon which I will stand up firm and tall It's just going to take me awhile To get to where I want to be in this world To get to where I want to be with you girl So I will stack the wood to keep me warm But a slave to them I am no more I have set myself free And this is what it's what I need But you pull at me with the consistency Of the rising sun And I do not know what is is I have done And I do not trust anyone My story just begun Would you ever listen to what I say Because you'd know I truly care about the way You feel you feel in all of this I know you feel I have been remiss But open your pretty little eyes There have been no lies Between you and I You have what no one else can You have my future I am sorry I can't give you my past So hold my hand And wait for me to find my own to feet and stand There will be days you lose faith in me And there will be times we face misery I will come home liquored up and stoned And leave you there feeling all alone But you can trust I will make it right in the end There is reward for those nights you cried in bed And you really are my best good friend And I will love I am going to love you I will love you Everyday

One For Me 02:46
What do you do when your mistress just won't do it for you anymore And what do you do when the man stole all of hash and smoked it to his brain What do you do when you realize you will never be the same Well drink one for me And drink one for Montana Where my man Tanner lives on land and Does what he can as I understand But any man who prattles about always and forever must not foresee any sort of change And I feel so sorry for him I hope he pulls his blanket right over his head while I fuck it up real big So what do you do when your mistress just won't do it for you anymore And what do you do when the man stole all of your hash and smoked it to his brain What do you do when you realize you'll never be the same Well drink one for me cause I still am naive enough to believe That I can cut records and sing And make enough money to eat

We kill ourselves and we know it We know the facts and we still smoke it We see our friends die but we drink it I believe these words but I know Not after long I will end up at the bottom of another cup Or on the wet end of a doob I do what I choose and I choose what I do I held you and could you have even seen me through And don't bury me when I die You just burn me up and point me to the sky I am another dead mick with a tired old shtick And a worn out gray suit One pair of brown leather boots and nothing to lose So remember me as I am now Not as I was or how I will be Not how I could have been Cause my dear friends there is no moment quite like this one So not today you just let me stay here for awhile No not today

I Told You 03:35
Sweet little baby girl I told you not to expect the world Of me and I did not lie I've been feeling kind of restless and waking up stressed And it's not like I really sleep at night But that's just one little battle I ain't ready to fight And it's one look I ain't ready to see In my own eyes I think you are just fine so tonight lets act like its alright well alright Sweet little baby girl there was never any question in what I told you being true Its just all those things I said well they might have meant just a little more to you But I would say that you were never used You were there and I was too And there is not one thing I will do Tonight I will be moving on well alright Sweet little baby girl I told you not to expect the world Of me and I did not lie I've been feeling kind of restless and waking up stressed And it's not like I really sleep at night

She said, if I kissed you as much as John Jameson do Well I would be the lucky one and you would be sick of my tongue If I planted one flower every time you took a drag Well you'd have a garden so big you could not help but brag about it to someone I looked back through her and I did not say one single word I just called up my friends and got all sorts of fucked up again She said boy you don't know what you'd be if you could Just put down that Irish whiskey we could shave your face up real clean and you could live with me We'll find you a steady job where you can go everyday and if forty years you will earn yourself a real firm hand shake But I said no thank you mam you can pry the drink from my cold hand As I lay still center stage at my piano grand Cause I was meant to roam and I don't want a home so don't offer me one cause I will say no

Five years ago you were something And I will be damned but you're nothing I saw you in the bar we started talking About how five years ago was something And when I slid your blouse right over your head And I saw your milky white breast I realized right then all you are is one soul Some bones and some flesh Five years ago if I saw them I would have just stopped breathing Five years ago if this happened it would of been the talk of the season Now your emptiness if frightens me You are so clearly yearning For anyone or anything to remind you of how you felt back then And I left before you got back to bed Honey put yourself in my shoes you wouldn't stay if I'd said that to you You dream-pt a fantasy full of beaches and palm trees And when we got there the mosquitoes bit too hard You'll never be happy no matter where you are Can't you see how time changes a man You swore you'd never be one of them Well it is too late my friend

Wake Up! 03:11

Don't try and make sense of my life please Just because you walk down a path set by society You've got your diploma and your wife to be So stop wishing your life onto me There are a thousand beaches And a thousand roads That I am going to walk down And you will never know
