Hellfire In A Dixie Cup

Well it's midnight on the highway.
Little girl you goin' my way?
I'll cock this sucker sideways
if you say you'll sit beside me.
Can't you see.
Baby wontcha take a ride with me
Baby wontcha take a ride with me
Well I just got out on Friday.
Loaded up this badass Chevrolet
with a .45 and a Milky Way.
When I hit the road there'll be hell to pay.
You'll see.
Baby wontcha take a ride with me
Baby wontcha take a ride with me
That stateline sign in Cheyenne
oughta say "Beware of Lawman.
They'll box you up in that Texas sand.
You best believe no one can
set you free.
Baby wontcha take a ride with me
Baby wontcha take a ride with me
We'll make Mexico by sun up,
drink hellfire from a Dixie Cup.
Slide into my hopup.
We'll make ol' Scratch ante up.
I guarantee.
Baby wontcha take a ride with me
Baby wontcha take a ride with me

Garage Sale Lullabye

Got you and a Chevrolet.
Got you and a Chevrolet.
Got you and this old Chevrolet.
Flat broke. I'm outta everything.
Got you and a broken crown,
an old guitar that doesn't make a sound,
a little luggage tryin' to drag me down.
Just some things that I've keepin' 'round.
That old guitar could sing.
That old guitar could sing.
Got you and mom's old diamond ring
in a box tied with Christmas string.
Wrapped in paper towels and shiny things.
Fifty cents for songs no one would sing.
Thirty Years Of Baptist Lullabyes
slightly stained and packed with alabis.
When they're gone I think I'll take a ride.
No reserve and nothing set aside.
Got you and a Chevrolet,
a Rand McNally for to light the way.
All these words and not a thing to say.
Got you and a Chevrolet.
A long black Chevrolet.
A long black Chevrolet.

I'm a bum
Can't find a way up outta here
And the walls are closing in
There's no need to run
Wouldn't do you no good anyway
Find the perfect thing to say
The perfect heart to break
Fa la la la la la
Who wants to go home now
They're gonna close us down
And I'm afraid I spilled my drink
There's no place to go
What I would give for a ride to the show
Find the perfect thing to say
The perfect heart to break
Fa la la la la la
Don't want to go home now
But I don't want to stay right here
Have the perfect beer
Cry another tear
Then sneak of all alone

Around here it's always midnight
We're hiding from the sunlight
No matter what the season
There's always a reason
Werewolves and Vampires
Don't let the starlight tell you lies
It's no surprise at all
Heed the call or fall
Beware those that enter this evil hive
Inside the bad dreams come alive
Around here you better lock your doors
Sleep out on the floor
Put bars on the windows
Down your ephedrine and No-Doz
Werewolves and Vampires
Don't let the starlight tell you lies
It's no surprise at all
Heed the call or fall
Beware those who enter this evil hive
Inside the nightmares come alive

Charlie's Gone

Sometimes I was so high that I couldn't take the call
Petrified but I don't think she ever knew at all
And we never talk about the guilt
And I'll never write a song about it
Seems kinda silly now that Charlie's gone
Sounds kinda stupid now that Charlie's gone
Black gold called my daddy and it led him far from home
Hardscrabble Texas earth can tear you to the bone
But he chased that pipe just to stay alive
From Waco to Sadona
Yeah that seems like a long way now that Charlie's gone
Sounds kinda stupid now that Charlie's gone
April makes it six years since you left us
April makes it six years since I cried
And April sure is cold here in Indiana
Makes it hard to lick my wounded pride
Now that Charlie's gone
Sounds kinda stupid now that Charlie's gone

Fight
04:04

We're living under shadows cast by shadows
afraid to see the light
Through our open door I can't see you anymore
Her wrong and my wrong won't make it right
But I'll tell anyone who'll listen
if you could only see the way she smiles
you'd put up a fight

Hypothetically
05:32
|

If you cut yourself I'm the one that bleeds
and if you fall down I'm the one with the busted knees
and if you get stung I'm the one swells
Please be careful girl you'll drive my coffin nails
And if you get drunk I'm the one with the achin' head
and if you catch cold I might just spend a week in bed
You better look both way before you cross that road
or they'll bury me in mom's ol' chifforobe
They don't have a policy for a broken heart
down at that old State Farm for when love falls apart
Say you're diggin' me metaphorically
Hypothetically say you'll marry me
