Song Lyrics
Hell of a Road
[Verse 1]
I left all of my troubles in an old whiskey bottle
Somewhere between here and LA
Every sweet word you’d spoken swept in through the window
I cussed you tossed em to the rain
Well this blacktop is haunted with the ghost of your touch
And the moons hanging dead in the sky
Headed east towards the sunrise as fast as I can
Just to outrun your love and your lies
[Pre-Chorus]
I tore through four hundred miles of that four lane today
Left El Paso at dawn but the rear-view ain’t changed
Still driving through every damn memory we made in this state
[Chorus]
It’s been a hell of a road
But I’ll keep moving on and on
One day I’ll get far enough away
That you won't feel like home
Passing sign after sign
That I left you behind
Roll on that highway broken souls
Your still driving me down
[Verse 2]
I’ve been running on empty
what feels like a year
Getting chased by my old worn out pride
Fill my tank up with hurt
Set my hate on the dash
Ride the storm my heart won’t let die
Hard to know where to go
Through the lighting and the pain
And the thunder that don’t make a sound
But the worst thing I’ve been through
since I started outs'
Doing thirty-five through this damn town
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well the sirens are playing an old country song
And they drown me in all of the verses you wrote
Yea radio plays and I hear you singing along
[Chorus]
I'll Ride Alone
[Verse 1]
I ain't done nothing wrong
I ain't run round on you
Ain’t made you no promises
But I still been true
Say you heard I was out with her
Can't believe what I say
Honestly girl what can I do if your minds been made
[Chorus]
So I’ll ride alone
Head back to the way I came
I shoulda seen this one coming
From a mile away
And I’ll bid adieu
If you want me too
Naw a county boy ain’t gonna lay down and beg you to stay
[Verse 2]
Now you treat me so cold
Cut me out like a light
Act like I’m just some sort of trouble
You're leaving behind
Well I ain’t yours to break
Cut my heart out a long long long time ago
I might be a shell of a man
but this is exactly why
I'm this way
[Chorus]
Loosing Sleep
[Verse 1]
Girl you know the bed of my truck cuts the chill
It’d be a waste if the stars all came out we both just stayed in
I'll bring the sweatshirt of mine that you stole but you left on my floor
We can grab a bottle wine and drink the daylight till we ain't got no more
[Chorus]
I think I'm losing sleep
But I'm still having dreams
Bout those late nights in the moonlight
Getting tangled up in your eyes
And I don't wanna be free
[Verse 2]
Laying next to you as you give me that I like you grin
Blankets all dew dripped and warm from the heat of our skin
Watch the sun paint the morning all gold see your breath in the air
If every wakin-up is half as good as this I'd give the night up I swear
[Chorus]
Go For The Kill
[Verse 1]
We been piling up powder and lead
Between dishes on the counter and the things we aint said
And the fire that we used to burn's been startin to spread
I cant give you some make-believe man
I'm getting tired of pretending that we aint fightin mad
Let just set it all out on the table and see where it lands
[Chorus]
Well it looks like tonight
We’re both gonna draw those battle lines
We can’t keep pretending like this thing ain’t all gone to hell
So girl shoot me straight
Should I just walk away
Or if I need to be the one who makes that call I will
Cause one of us has gotta pull the trigger and go for the kill
[Verse 2]
We've been tiptoeing further away
Waking up every morning with new cracks from the strain
But neither one of us would dare to be the first one to break
All this doin the same ol same
Scared to say something different lest it burst into flames
But the hammers been pulled back and we're both bracing hearts to take aim
[Chorus]
(Yea it’s about damn time to pull that trigger and go for the kill)
Lay It Down
[Verse 1]
Do you remember that drunken fight in Pagoso
Thrown glass wine running down the wall
Awe help me keep this thing alive
Waking up making love scared of what the hell that was
Hide it all in the everyday doing fine
To busy now to break down
The little things add up and make your heart drown
[Chorus]
Why can’t we lay it down
Why do we use these hurts and words that cut us
To cut each other down
I swear I love you girl and I don’t know why
It feels like there fire that burns us up }
From the inside
That burns us up from the inside
[Verse 2]
Do you remember that
sunset out on Hartwell damn
Awe honeysuckle baby I'll hold your hand
You and me against the world it don't stand a chance
Those were days where we'd
"Babe it's fine I don't mind
I know you didn't mean it I
Never meant to hurt you I
Never meant to make you cry
It'll be alright if we can just make it through the night
It'll be alright if we can just make it through tonight
[Chorus]
Turn To Dust
[Verse 1]
Well I've lost a few battles
For things I can't ever get back
Gathered chains on my travels
Carried half of the world in this hat
[Verse 2]
And the costs that I’ve counted
Are more than I realized I had
Ain’t no rest for the weary
Lord ain’t nobody care if your sad
[Chorus]
Don't you lay your head underwater
Once you go down man it's hard to get up
Keep your feet on the narrow
And lend me a hand when my dreams turn to dust
[Verse 3]
Left my my hope with the preacher
Sold my soul to buy a piece of this land
Gambled all of my future
Just to try and make a life I can stand
[Verse 4]
Stumble on through the years
Just to watch yourself slowly turn to dust
Give your all trying to make it
It’s the only life that you got so don’t give it up
[Chorus]
