All These Days, MO 03:42
lyrics

All these days, all these days They all feel exactly the same I repeat, I repeat The same dreams that I used to dream All the saints and all the thieves They're all running through the city streets Shadows grow, behind me The darkest that I've ever seen You know that I won't No I won't I just wanna get home No I won't, no I won't I just wanna get I just gotta get home Eau de vie, wring my eyes When old friends turn passerby Moonlight comes, moonlight shines It follows me all of the time You know that I won't No I won't I just wanna get home No I won't, no I won't I just wanna get I just gotta get home I've been East and I've been West Just know I still want you the best Missouri please oh please Don't you forget about me You know that I won't No I won't I just wanna get home No I won't, no I won't I just wanna get I just gotta get home

Baltimore 03:57
lyrics

In Baltimore, I wanted more In Memphis, I prayed for this All on display, in a grand parade We fell beneath, an awesome wave Caught up to me, apart from me The Mississippi called you queen But I loved you, my baby I'm patiently waiting But all these damn songs, they all sound the same And you know I need it, believe me And I'll leave only if you need me Know that all of this is all yours In Baltimore, I loved you more In St. Louis, I cherished this With everything, all out of place We're right where we oughta stay And I loved you, my baby I'm patiently waiting But all these damn songs, they all sound the same You know I need it, believe me And I'll leave only if you need me Know that all of this is all yours Bless these waters, pull me out I'm falling further under now Bless these waters, pull me out I'm falling further under now Bless these waters, pull me out I'm falling further under now Can't let you down, can't let you go I can't let this fever show I loved you, my baby I'm patiently waiting But all these damn songs, they all sound the same And you know I need it, believe me And I'll leave only if you need me Know that all of this is all yours In Baltimore, I loved you more In New Orleans, you cursed me

Take Your Time 03:09
lyrics

Lay the line I need help getting home Take your time if you're running out of rope Only the lonely they know how hard to hold Take your time I don't mind letting go Hours ahead you're hours behind You test my legs now you're testing my eyes Between morning and night you fight one hell of a fight Take your time you can leave me behind But I can't and I won't let it light me up again I can't and I won't let it light me up Once again I painted you on the wall of my head And I altared you now you're making a mess But how long has it been since we only went to bed Pick it up and piece it again I can't and I won't let it light me up again I can't and I won't let it light me up Once again

Hope It Ain't You 03:19
lyrics
buy track
Georgie's selling heaters Out on the street It ain't a living, but it'll let him eat Rosie's riding shotgun It's better than the back The AC is blowing, but the driver went mad A man took 'em out with an ivory gun "You can't stop all the shooting You can't stop all the fun" The river's seen it all from Bobby to the King The clientele's been changing but it's much of the same I hope it ain't you I hope it ain't you I hope it ain't you Oh no I hope it ain't you Oh I hope it ain't you I hope it ain't you Oh no The story book's been cherrypicked For just what we need I narrow my eyes at all the lies and the greed God we've been trusting But we haven't heard much All this shit's supposed to leave with prayers and love I hope it ain't you I hope it ain't you I hope it ain't you Oh no I hope it ain't you Oh I hope it ain't you I hope it ain't you Oh no The men in their suits Their pockets are deep While the mariachi band members they try not to weep There's demons inside And it ain't their first time The mother of the little ones she ain't got too much time I hope it ain't you I hope it ain't you I hope it ain't you Oh no I hope it ain't you Oh I hope it ain't you I hope it ain't you Oh no I know it's true And I know what you do I hope it ain't you oh no I hope it ain't you Oh I hope it ain't you I hope it ain't you Oh no And I know it's true And I know what you do I hope it ain't you oh no I hope it ain't you Oh I hope it ain't you I hope it ain't you Oh no

Eliana (Bonus Track) 04:16
lyrics
buy track
Come out, come out the fire's out They're filing in, they'll start the count Come out, come out please God now The very least just make a sound We'll hide away 'till maybe May The ground is soft with longer days We'll change the locks and buy some paint And pray for hardwood underneath Eliana, don't brace for rain Eliana, it'll rain here every day Eliana, just sing a sad song Eliana, sing Sorrow all night long There's demons in the house tonight The old man left some gold in sight He held the door and left the lights They kicked their feet and drank the wine Eliana, don't brace for rain Eliana, it'll rain here every day Eliana, just sing a sad song Eliana, sing Sorrow all night long While your daddy sleeps, with the TV on And your mother's getting older than she'll let on And your brother's back home from another endless war Hiding in his room he's waiting out another storm All your friends are dancing like nothing has changed They'll just blame Jesus Christ for what becomes their fate Then you'll meet another on a winter Wednesday night But you just can't beat it but god damn you tried Eliana, don't brace for rain Eliana, it'll rain here every day Eliana, just sing a sad song Eliana, sing Sorrow all night long
