Mother of mercy I heard you were there with the lights down low And Father of the Nation why did you let your people down When all that is shed still comes up behind you again You with a rifle and me with a ball and chain Let’s talk about guns after 26 years of this loneliness Let’s talk about bombs when religion ain’t going your way I’ve seen you build castles with licorice stains on your finger tips But they all ran away when the walls would come crumbling down Now here we are without grace Now here we are in this place I found a calm after staying indoors when the winter had come You found a God after nights where you drank all that whiskey alone You turned the heads of the Ministers trying to change their names And I shut my mouth and always turned the other way You brought out the blow torch when you couldn’t get a candle to light your way I brought a knife to the fire drill for the people that went astray We both have grown old with Licorice stains on our fingertips When nothing gets clean, you just hope to get dirty again Now here we are without grace Now here we are in this place Now here we are without grace Now here we are in this place

I don’t know what you want to do Leave or stay the choice is up to you We’ve said it all there’s nothing left to say If I get a vote I’m hoping that you’ll stay I’m not gonna sit by the phone I’m just gonna leave well enough alone We lost our way we drifted out to sea We’re past the point of no return for me So grab your key and gather up your stuff Cause I can tell when you have had enough I’m not gonna sit by the phone I’m just gonna leave well enough alone And I’ll tell you this no one will miss you more than I will If you’re moving on I’ll try to stay strong if you’ve had your fill We’re not the first we will not be the last You cannot change the screw ups of your past So if you leave I’ll show you to the door Or stay a while and make me smile some more I’m not gonna sit by the phone I’m just gonna leave well enough alone I’m not gonna sit by the phone I’m just gonna leave well enough alone

v1: You know I'm a criminal, don't you? Don't you? It may be subliminal, but some things you just can't see through It's time to wake up & fight But something tells me that ain't right ch: Did I have to be reckless Why'd I try to leave you... breathless I skipped over the kindness You should've settled for nothing less You should've settled for nothing less v2: You didn't have to be so kind, did you? Did you? How long until you find, some lies you just can't fly through You never said a single word You had a bridge that needed burning ch: Did I have to be reckless Why'd I try to leave you... breathless I skipped over the kindness You should've settled for nothing less You should've settled for nothing br: I never thought to be scared Wasn't what you'd call self-aware Always running, always bound for somewhere Somewhere -- guitar/harmonica fantasy -- v1.5: You know I'm a criminal, don't you? Well, don't you? ch: Did I have to be reckless Why'd I try to leave you... breathless I skipped over the kindness You should've settled for nothing less ch: Did I have to be reckless Why'd I try to leave you... breathless I skipped over the kindness You should've settled for nothing less You should've settled for nothing less

oh, that first night You took the first bite I knew I’d seen you there before Oh, I should have known I should have known You had your script tight Read all your lines right And I believed every word Oh, I should have known I should have known So cry your tears Til it all disappears You know how to play your part so sad that we’re through I know it’s true Not the first to break your heart Oh, how you twist me Each time you kissed me Won’t let it happen no more I can’t go on I can’t go on Looks like I froze up Here comes your close up I’ve seen this movie before And I know how it ends I know how it ends So cry your tears Til it all disappears You know how to play your part so sad that we’re through I know it’s true Not the first to break your heart

I Cold hard bed Dark crooked highway All worn down Clouds ahead No wind blowin’ my way All worn down All worn down All worn down II My good days Were wasted in a hurry All worn down My heart stays Weighted with worry All worn down All worn down All worn down III Speak her name I wish I’d never known it All worn down Watch that train Count the days’til I’m on it All worn down All worn down All worn down

Skyline view, Tennessee Monday morning creeps into view Found my love in Carolina Left her there fading into blue I’ll see you there underneath the cedar trees Where the water meets the wind so I’m told A dragon’s tail, a winding road, the coolness of a breeze Bringing in God’s children from the cold Bringing in God’s children from the cold Lonely road, down the mountain Smell of burning brakes fill the tomb Highway life, not for nothing Reckon I’ll be home this afternoon I’ll see you there underneath the cedar trees Where the water meets the wind so I’m told A dragon’s tail, a winding road, the coolness of a breeze Bringing in God’s children from the cold Bringing in God’s children from the cold Always this, the peace of leaving Leaving them alone but with a view I’ll be back to Carolina Maybe then I’ll find somebody new

Hiding in the shadows, sleeping with the dead Promising tomorrows, to someone else instead Praying for a landslide,  staking out your claim Hide behind that mask you made, face without a name In the black sun... You can grin it if you open wide You can win it if you’re up for the ride Don’t want to risk it staring into a gun No time for dealing til you’re done In the black sun... Pacing round the boulevard, soldier with a dream Light another candle, running out of steam Praying for a miracle, luck is almost spent Left behind your state of mind, gone before it went In the black sun...

Someone once invited me to go and be reckless A little careless as I recall Something about how I needed to take my chances Cause circumstances have hit a wall I'm not inclined to stand too far Out a limb alone The words and tunes roll Through my head but Never seem to stick around for long There's dust on my guitar cause I haven't played it Still I've been persuaded to write a song And reckless is the word that comes to mind when I do that Cause who in their right mind would risk the fall The text he sent me said "Don’t be afraid to write bad songs" I must admit it's kind of freeing Guess it's time I learned to play along That dust is staring back at me It’s time I should clean it Time to get dreaming and see what comes So when you listen to this song I hope you’ll remember It’s only September And I’ve got nine more weeks Of being reckless I'm gonna be reckless So damn reckless

In The Fog Of Love I made believe I was the great pretender In the fog of love You know that I can never remember In the fog of love I’m looking fo a friend In the fog of love I thought I’d reached the end I wrote it down on a sheet of paper In the fog of love Threw it off of a high skyscraper In the fog of love In the fog of love I hide behind the pain In the fog of love I forget about the rain Toot toot baby on the circle line Push push baby through the crowd Where I go well I don’t mind As long as I get out Leaning on a lampost at the five and dime In the fog of love Sitting on the stoop with the loving kind In the fog of love I’m looking for a friend In the fog of love I forget about the rain I shook hands with the idol maker In the fog of love I pushed down on the elevator In the fog of love n the fog of love I hide behind the pain In the fog of love I forget about the rain Toot toot baby on the circle line Push push baby through the crowd Where I go well I don’t mind As long as I get out

I placed the chains I want to hold me down free as I want to be after my soul is gone these links will still live on connecting these things to me something to be said for the chains you create anchor me always I'm bound but these chains are mine free as I want to be by design I ask myself do I want this enough to bear the weight? what if I can't hold on become what it is I hate always had a choice was never forced to choose I chose the souls I connected to I'm bound but these chains are mine free as I want to be by design where ever I go I bring in tow the tethered love I want to be mine bound by design love is a chain you shackle yourself like that it's short at the start time goes by and the longer it grows and you get further apart the further I get from the opposite end the more I want to follow it back I'm bound but these chains are mine free as I want to be by design I keep it close watch it grow the things that I want to be mine I'm bound by design free as I want to be

V1 It all goes in It all comes out It all goes in It's all about V2 The gravity It captures time No dimension leak No matter crime CH The ubiquity of reality Is the uniquity in a singularly Intro V3 We're headed there Eventually To the radon cloud To a nebulae V4 Once it slows down It accumulates Goes back around Black hole awaits Ch The ubiquity of reality Is the uniquity in a singularly V stuff on out

I've not much power, but the one of persuasion Brand new Rayovac in the clip of this ray gun Found the length of a cold carafe, the length aside The ones you love, set to call asunder With the ones you hide, like a low-life lie Neither one, never to cop to Spinning yarns and spilling wine Lock in your go-to, caress to abrasion Toes in and hydrate, dance around contagion Gotta live until the blow come 'round, come a lethal size The ones you love, set to call asunder With the ones you hide, like a low-life lie Never once stepping in, never to cop to Spinning yarns and spilling wine I've got no power, but the one of persuasion Brand new Rayovac in the clip of this ray gun Found the length of a cold carafe, the length aside The ones you love, set to call asunder With the ones you hide, like a low-down lie Neither one, never to cop to The ones in the sun, lick a laissez landing Cimarron trident, like a three-pronged lie The ones were cut short, never get to Spinning yarns and spilling wine

Everybody but me 's afraid to reach up in the tree Cause the wasps are having a fig party Lord knows them figs are juicy and sweet
