Step One 04:39
Step One: dig up the money that you buried in the back yard Step Two: you've got to get into your car and drive Cause you've got to get so far Cause man you hit her so hard And I know that it wasn't all of your fault She wouldn't stop talking shit You didn't know what to do with it She wouldn't stop talking shit You didn't know what to do with it It's time to check into a motel Grab a six pack to blur out the details And sleep and dream of her hair and teeth and fingernails And all of the skin that entails Cause you got to get so far Cause man you hit her so hard And I know that it wasn't all of your fault She wouldn't stop talking shit You didn't know what to do with it She wouldn't stop talking shit You didn't know what to do with it Your best memory is you and her by the sea Her lipstick and a picture that says "I Love You, Jamie" Your best memory will only ever be Her smeared lipstick and a reflection you can't see She wouldn't stop talking shit You didn't know what to do with it She wouldn't stop talking shit How you gonna live with it? I'll digest it, I'll repress it, and I won't tell a soul.

I Know 04:26
I know it's been a nice night And we've got some cheap wine To make it all right So take off your Levi's And we'll make it all right I know you're scared, honey I'm scared too If my father found out he'd beat me black and blue And go to church tomorrow to give the devil his due I know you're scared, honey I'm scared too I know it's been a nice ride So let's park it outside And stay up till daylight Fills up our eyes Let's stay up till daylight I know you're scared, honey I'm scared too If my father found out he'd beat me black and blue And go to church tomorrow to give the devil his due I know you're scared, honey I'm scared too I could be your Mary, this could be our Thunder Road You could take me somewhere our dreams won't erode Like out to the desert so our hearts can explode I could be your Mary, this could be our Thunder Road Just know someday I'll come back here to show my old man What kind of power lies in the faggot hands And I won't cry for my mother when she cannot stand Someday I'll come back here, I'm gonna kill my old man.

They say, "You don't know what you've got until it's gone" Well I know that's true They say, "The night's always darkest before the dawn" I'm scared I'll never see blue But I love you And I need you And I love you Forever and always Those were the days Well I say, "Do you ever think you'll get past your doubts?" You say, "I don't know" So I say, "Do you think I could just take you out?" But you just stare at the ground But I love you And I need you And I love you Forever and always Those were the days If you can still see that house on Walnut Street Us on the front porch drinking coffee Then you can still see me Maybe someday you'll tell me That you love me And you need me And you love me Forever and always These could be the days

Dog Days 04:00
Frankie went to Hollywood At least that's what his mother said Jenny disappeared for good No one knows if she's alive or dead Lola got married and Had herself a couple of kids Ernest couldn't stop the drinking Till his liver finally quit Then baby there's you and me We're just trying to keep us afloat But like a car underwater We're drowning with no place to go The salad days are over And the dog days are here Let's make this one last summer We don't have to live in fear Baby you're my bee queen and you've caught us in this trap Of making hives and honey and making more from sap But we can't keep production up with this demand We've got bill collectors here with open hands The salad days are over And the dog days are here Let's make this one last summer We don't have to live in fear

Baby we've all got needs I'll take you any way I please When life brings you to your knees It gets so hard to see You're the best I could do I love nobody but you I never expected too much I just needed enough I don't need silver or gold Just your hand to hold To a husband from his wife You're my blue valentine What do you say that we spend our days Putting in work into something that ain't worth The time you put in You're the best I could do I love nobody but you I never expected too much I just needed enough I don't need silver or gold Just your hand to hold To a husband from his wife You're my blue valentine
6.
Let me go and I will make mistakes I will fall and yes I will break I can't promise I'll amount to anything But I can promise that I'll buy you that ring Just give me a chance, give me a chance And I'll show you I can Show me something show me how Show me anything right now Just give me a chance, give me a chance And I'll show you I can

Lost my heart in Asheville, NC Got it back in Oklahoma City I drove the coast for five hundred miles And never saw the sea Oh I'm back where I belong Yes I'm back in your arms Lost my faith in a bottle Then I found it in Seattle I flew over every mountain range Discovered they all look the same Oh I'm back where I belong Yes I'm back in your arms Left my dreams in Manhattan Someday I'll get them back again By car or plane or subway train Someday I will find a way Oh I'm back where I belong Yes I'm back in your arms
