Stop & Stare
I'm drowning in a river full of rye
Hanging out with the devil on a Friday night
Oh and she ain't ever been a friend of mine
Since I left town
It's getting hard to sleep in that old bed
I'll never forget and a damn word you said
You said it's over we're done we're finished go on and get out
I'll get out
And my heartbeat's sounding like rain on the rooftops
Dancing with a slut in a red and black tube top
Go for a ride and baby it won't stop there
And I'm heading for the coast underneath the moonlight
Asphalts glowing underneath the street lights
Thinking bout your big green eyes and your jet black hair
Lord as I stop and stare
Lord as I stop and stare
You were something I loved for what it's worth
She cussed a lot
Was never fond of church
She was a wicked woman who had it out for me
Still getting hard to sleep in that old bed
My eyes are black and they're bloodshot red
And when I think of you I find it hard to sleep
And my heartbeat's sounding like rain on the rooftops
Dancing with a slut in a red and black tube top
Go for a ride and baby it won't stop there
And I'm heading for the coast underneath the moonlight
Asphalts glowing underneath the street lights
Thinking bout your big green eyes and your jet black hair
As I stop and stare
Oh Lord as I stop and stare
And I'm running by moonlight
I'll be gone by sunrise
She's hot on my tail
And I'm running by moonlight
I'll be gone by sunrise
Lord I need some help
Yeah as I stop and stare
Oh Lord as I stop and stare
In Between
It's been a problem
Since I've hit rock bottom
I'm hoping we can make things right
My mind Is wandering
You're looking hotter than
West Texas summertime
Back in the day
We had our day in the shade
But now things ain't lookin up
It's plain to see
That we were meant to be
But now I don't give a f*ck
I wish you'd bring a little more to the table
I wish you'd tell me something good
I'm willing to waste my time
And walk that line way longer than I probably should
Go on and tell me what you're wanting
Go on and tell me what you need
Cause I put up a hell of a fight
Just to get caught right
In the middle of the in between
I wish you'd tell me something good
That empty bottle looks kinda how you left me
'Cause there ain't no good left inside
I stopped the loving you
Way before you asked me to
I was just along for the ride
And you ain't opposed
To digging up bones
Bringing up the things from your past
But either way
I think it's safe to say
That this thing ain't gonna last
I wish you'd bring a little more to the table
I wish you'd tell me something good
I'm willing to waste my time
And walk that line way longer than I probably should
Go on and tell me what you're wanting
Go on and tell me what you need
'Cause I put up a hell of a fight
Just to get caught right
In the middle of the in between
Why don't you tell me something
I wish you'd bring a little more to the table
I wish you'd tell me something good
I'm willing to waste my time
And walk that line way longer than I probably should
Go on and tell me what you're wanting
Go on and tell me what you need
'Cause I put up a hell of a fight
Just to get caught right
In the middle of the in between
I wish you'd bring a little more to the table
I wish you'd tell me something good
I'm willing to waste my time
And walk that line way longer than I probably should
Go on and tell me what you're wanting
Go on and tell me what you need
'Cause I put up a hell of a fight
Just to get caught right
In the middle of the in between
I wish you'd tell me something
I wish you'd tell me something good
Wrong Place Wrong Time
It's been a damn hard week
Tryna walk a straight line
But I'll still find a way
To f*ck up everything
In record time
I had my share of bad luck
Better than none at all
But I still don't take the time to read the writing on the wall
And I can't win for losing playing this game
Can't run from my past or my last name
It's hard to find trouble
When the trouble finds me
Wrong place and wrong time's where I might be tonight
Hitting hard on the bottle
Still chasing them lines
Seems like the only damn way
To keep myself straight
Is doing hard time
Living life in the fast lane
Can't seem to get away
Well this stepped on coke
And Montego smokes
Have been my friend the past ten days
And I can't win for losing playing this game
Can't run from my past or my last name
It's hard to find trouble
When the trouble finds me
Wrong place and wrong time's where I might be
Wrong place and wrong time's where I might be tonight
Why don't you take some time
So you can feel bad for me
Feel bad for me
I wish you'd take some time
So you can feel bad for me
And I can't win for losing playing this game
Can't run from my past or my last name
It's hard to find trouble
When the trouble finds me
Wrong place and wrong time's where I I I
And I can't win for losing playing this game
Can't run from my past or my last name
It's hard to find trouble
When the trouble finds me
Wrong place and wrong time's where I might be
Wrong place and wrong time's where I might be
Wrong place and wrong time's where I might be tonight
Have A Nice Day
She's got that look
That I know too well
Well the new hair
Crocodile tears
The same old show and tell
It's a crowded room
But there's safety in the numbers
She don't know
She's right where I want her
So
Why don't you save me your problems
I'll let you check the boxes
On all the ones that apply to me
And well there's two sides to everything
And I'm so easy to blame
I was blind to it but now I see
That there's no point in getting angry
So I'll fake a smile and wave
I hope that swinging door
Hits you on the way
Thanks for your time girl
Have a nice day
Well I can't begin to make up
Time that's lost
Regardless of who's fault it was
In the end
I don't even care if you
Try to keep
The promises you made to me
I guess that depends on
On if you wanna cause a scene
Or we can make this a clean break
Just tell me what do you say
Why don't you save me your problems
'Cause I'll let you check the boxes
On all the ones that apply to me
And well there's two sides to everything
And I'm so easy to blame
I was blind to it but now I see
That there's no point in getting angry
So I'll fake a smile and wave
I hope that swinging door
Hits you on the way
Thanks for your time girl
Have a nice day
Thanks for your time girl
Have a nice day
I guess I cut shit off in the nick of time
She's lookin at me like she lost her mind
And she said
There's no way
And I said
Why don't you save me your problems
'Cause I'll let you check the boxes
On all the ones that apply to me
And well there's two sides to everything
And I'm so easy to blame
I was blind to it but now I see
That there's no point in getting angry
So I'll fake a smile and wave
I hope that swinging door
Hits you on the way
Thanks for your time girl
Have a nice day
Yeah thanks for your time girl
And have a nice day
Have a nice day
I'm the Worst
Well I know what you're thinking
You got me figured out all wrong
I got a dirty laundry list on me
That reads a mile long
What you looking for a red flag
I got all different kinds
But there ain't no truth to the lies that you heard about me
I got bones hanging next to my clothes
And it's under the nose
It ain't hard to see
I got a price tag on this
Heavy head of mine
And they'd probably rather see me dead than alive
It's okay
I don't really aim to please much anyway
But a name is a name
And mine may as well be a curse
It's just easy to say I'm the worst
You can say that I'm an outlaw
Just a bandit on the run
Riding around with this band of thieves
Tryna steal some hearts for fun
Do me a favor
Save me the bullshit today
'Cause I've got way too much on my plate
Trying to scrub the dust from my name
I guess what I'm trying to say
Is it just ain't me
I'm not the monster that the whole towns trying to find
And they'd probably rather see me dead than alive
It's okay
I don't really aim to please much anyway
But a name is a name
And mine may as well be a curse
It's just easy to say I'm the worst
It's just easy to say I'm the worst
So tell me what I am
Tell me what I'm not
Go ahead and tear my name apart
'Cause the man I am, just ain't the one you want
I ain't gonna change
I'm never gonna stop
We can go on and on and on
'Bout the man I am
Just ain't the one you want
Cause I know what you're thinking
You got me figured out all wrong
I gotta dirty laundry list on me
That reads a mile long

Fishnets
We'll he takes off his wedding ring
As she's taking off her top
And he did that dirty thing with her
But the worst part of the job
Is in the back of her mind there's a house with a wife and she's tucking kids to sleep
While she's breaking up a home that she wanted all along for an hour in the sheets
He puts on his wedding ring
As she's putting on her clothes
And he did that dirty thing with her
But she already knows that it's all over
He ain't gonna leave what he's got at home
So she cries herself to sleep at night
In a bedroom all alone
You can find her on the corner
Tryna make a little bit of cash
She'll be your honey
In a room for the money
She's just tryna make it fast
Wishes she could go back
Wishes she could go back to the day
She had a dream with a dress
Where she didn't have to wear them fishnets on her legs
Aw everyday
Well you see straight through her like a screen door
And the life she wants to live
And this world of sin she's been living in
Ain't the love she wants to give
You can find her on the corner
Tryna make a little bit of cash
She'll be your honey
In a room for the money
She's just tryna make it fast
She wishes she could go back
Wishes she could go back to the day
She had a dream with a dress
Where she didn't have to wear them fishnets on her legs
You can find her on the corner
You can find her on the corner
You can find her on the corner
Close Encounters
Well there's lights in the trees
Can't tell what it is
Could be the cops or those damn kids
Company Rolex shows past three
God dammit what the hell could it be
Grab the old Browning she's a side by side
Hop in the truck and go for a ride
Jones boys better not be on my land
Swear it's them who's been stealing my lambs
They say seeing is believing
Daddy said that's just a lie
The only thing out there is Jesus
When he comes a second time
And keep your head down don't ask questions
You see something
You can't explain
You just turn your ass around
And go the other way
Drove to their spot in my Chevy c10
With no smell of pot or them cigarettes
Still can't believe what they did last week
They drove through my weed fields
That ain't cheap
Something's wrong
And something ain't right
Last thing I saw was a beam of light
And they say seeing is believing
Daddy said that's just a lie
The only thing out there is Jesus
When he comes a second time
And keep your head down don't ask questions
You see something
You can't explain
You just turn your ass around
And go the other way
And when I woke up this morning
With a feeling awful sore
Well if seeing is believing
I don't want to anymore
Because seeing is believing
And I know that ain't a lie
And I hope whatever's out there don't come back a second time
Keep your head down don't ask questions
You see something you can't explain
You just turn your ass around
And go the other way
Well you just turn your ass around
And go the other way
Well you just turn your ass around
And go the other way
Haunted House
I pace these halls
And you can see right through me
I'm not there at all
An even where I should be
And all these pictures on the walls of us
Of what we used to be
Could've fooled me
Could've fooled me
And I'm trying to find to words to say
To make you go away
But you stay, yeah you stay
And I'm trying
To get out but I wind up in the same place
But you stay, yeah you stay
And I tried to be the man you wanted
Tell me that this house ain't haunted
She's like a curse
The way she follows me around
And I haven't told her yet what we have's six feet underground
And the silence is deafening, I just can't find what's left of me and you
Well it's true, yeah it's true
And I'm trying to find to words to say
To make you go away
But you stay, yeah you stay
And I'm trying
To get out but I wind up in the same place
But you stay, yeah you stay
And I tried to be the man you wanted
Tell me that this house ain't haunted
I hear screams and slamming doors
Taps on glass and creaking floors
Paranoia's setting in
Was it you or just the wind
And I'm trying to find to words to say
To make you go away
But you stay, yeah you stay
And I'm trying
To get out but I wind up in the same place
But you stay, yeah you stay
And I tried to be the man you wanted
Tell me that this house ain't haunted
Won't you tell me that this house ain't haunted
Well tell me that this, tell me that this
Tell me that this house ain't haunted
Won't you tell me that this house ain't haunted
Chasing My Tail
Well I ain't the kind to run away
I ain't the kind to make you stay
'Cause I'm just gonna break your heart
Or you'll break mine, I know this part
So I think it's time to run away
Why do I pick myself up just to get torn down
I keep kicking my own ass
Just to come back another round
And It feels like I can't help myself with setting up to fail
If you need me I'll be wasting my time
Chasing my tail
Chasing my tail
So go ahead and ends things first
'Cause I tend to wait until it hurts
And the version of me that you get
Will always just be second best
And I hope that you don't wait to see my worst
And why do I pick myself up just to get torn down
I keep kicking my own ass
Just to come back another round
And It seems like I can't help myself with setting up to fail
If you need me I'll be wasting my time
Chasing my tail
Chasing my tail
Honey don't feel sorry for me
'Cause I can do that all by myself
I'll keep running round in circles
Till you leave me standing still
Why do I pick myself up just to get torn down
I keep kicking my own ass
Just to come back another round
And It feels like I can't help myself with setting up to fail
If you need me I'll be wasting my time
Oh if you need me I'll be wasting my time
