Motown Blues 01:29
My town’s on its’ knees, the light’s burnin’ low The word on the street is all we have, we’ve ever known It’s not what we’ve seen, it’s not what we’re shown It’s the tunes we carry on, that make it home.
2.
Slow Curve 02:50
I just can’t take it that much longer, this muddy stench is getting stronger Leave it alone, while I’m taking the fall and you think I’m doin’ ya wrong Blacken my eyes while your singin’ that same old song, I’m doin’ you wrong I wish you’d dig this bed I made you, no amount of songs could ever sate you I just can’t take it that much longer, that money spent was money laundered
3.
I was only feeling lonely, you were wonderin’ if I was alright I was takin’what you’re shakin’, I was just another fool in a line You were usin’, I was losin’, I hung on while you you bided your time When my feelings, hit the ceiling, you were gone and I’m wonderin’ why I’ve been your joker for a week or two, you think I’m still in love with you know who Now you’re sinkin’, in your drinkin’, gettin’ lost in a bottle of wine I thought your lovin’ was my priority I should of listened to what they was telling me I’m too caught up in the lies that you’re sellin’ me I’ve been your joker for a week or two, you’re movin’ on no matter what I do Now you’re sinkin’, in your drinkin’, gettin’ lost in a bottle of wine
4.
Getting late boy, ain’t you heard the news The paddy’s parked and they’re waitin’ on you Get it straight boy/don’t deny the clues We just found what you’re tryin’ to lose What you’re tryin’ to lose Lie in state boy, time is yours to choose Lace it hard like you’re tyin’ a noose Jump a freight boy, hide behind the booze You can’t hide when we’re gunnin’ for you When we’re gunnin’ for you Yeah, we’re comin’ for you Never choosin’ to see until you’re face down Try to bury it deep until you breakdown Always fightin’ for sleep ‘cause it’s all around It’s all around It’s all around you
5.
Strayed down underground like your mama say Lone highway ridin’, horizon ablaze/mind in a haze Wide-eyed, true and tried never know their names Thieves in a line-up, they all look the same, harder to blame I hoped for so long, the sunrise would lead me on home Tried of waiting, I’m gettin’ on with the show Westbound wrap-around, cobra money dreams Couches and buyouts and truck stop cuisine, saps your esteem Hometown broken down, low-end on the mend Long for my line-up, my songs and my friends, my heart’s on the fence I’ve known for so long, I just couldn’t make it alone Cue the fade-in, I’m gettin’ on with the show It’s just what we owe, on with the show It’s all that we know, on with the show
6.
Say what you’re gonna say It doesn’t matter ‘cause I feel like I’m on my way But now you got me all out of rhythm I’ll just blame myself ‘til you’re forgiven Next time you see me you’ll know that feelin’ Somewhere down the line Blame if you’re gonna blame Though I’d feel different but somehow I feel the same A dozen suitors, bust me for chewin’ Actin’ so naive but you know just what you’re doin’ The leavin’s easy, feels like I’m stealin’ Somewhere down the line the skies won’t be so sunny All alone, you’ll be thinkin’ ‘bout me honey Somewhere down the line, there’ll be no overstatin’ Come on home, honey I’ll be waitin’ Honey I’ll be waitin’
7.
Glass on the road, it’s only seen at night Spurned and alone, he’s just tryin’ to make things right Hands on the level, a dime might ease his plight Cause but no rebel, he’s just tryin’ to make things right He’s just tryin’ to make things right Eyes in the shadow, he sees through my disguise Drowned in the shallows, he’s just tryin’ to make things right Sign on the corner, it’s hard to sympathize Spurned and alone, he’s just tryin’ to make things right He’s just tryin’ to make things right With the shoes he doesn’t own With a coat that’s barely sewn Left to dangle in the breeze Left alone at night to freeze
8.
Down Below 04:47
You think I’m wrong, I think you’re right Won’t let it go without a fight The sense you make makes me want to explode You’re barely in the known When you’re searchin’ for another complex code I’ll leave it down below You’ve thrown aside your heavy load You’re taught to break before you’ve bowed When it’s time to face the up you need to own You’ll be the first to know The team I’m on is always in first place When I’m down below I think you’re wrong, you know I’m right My sense of black makes sense of white Just take an axe to your overblown point And cut it down to size When your thoughts are all plagiarized If you’re listening to bad advice When pretension is just a cheap disguise You’ll know you’re down below
9.
If you leave me, I don’t mind Schemin’ hearts like yours ain’t hard to find If you want me, let me know Time will tell before you bleed me slow Time will tell before you bleed me slow. I know you want me, c’mon and try You made the rules, but I’ll never know why If you leave me, I don’t mind Thought you’d break my heart, well get in line If you need me, let me know Schemin’ hearts they always whisper low Schemin’ hearts they always whisper low The lines you sold me, the times I’ve tried You made the rules, but I’ll never know why You never told me you loved me And I’ll never know why You led me on moved my piece like a pawn The board was all in your mind I let your highness control me But I’ll never know why You kept me close haunt my scene like a ghost To which you’ve always denied Please believe me, I’m not blind I’ll make your rivals if I’m so inclined If you want me, let me know Time will tell before you bleed me slow Time will tell before you bleed me slow

Get It On 04:07
People train don’t leave from Stubbville Unlessin’ you’re a sheep or a hog Broke down in a cowboy town so I best be gettin’ along Got down on the farmer’s daughter, a little cutie in St. Marie I didn’t mean a thing to her and she didn’t mean a thing to me I gotta get it on, get it on, get it on through Just to get it on, get it on, get it on with you Cuttin’ heads in a dive in Memphis, layin’ low in San Antoine Drunk, dirty but I scored some loot countin’ cards and rollin’ the bones Diggin’ holes for the mob in Tucson, a few more than I cared to see Some fake who was on the take but it’s just better him than me The man’s on my shoulder, those good ole boys won’t leave me alone The nights are getting colder, and I wish you were keeping me warm First thing if I get home, we’re gonna get it on Got my mind right on a chain gang, and I swear I’ve changed my ways Upstate where they set me straight in the hole for thirty days I’m on the next train to Motown and I’m rollin’ straight home to you On track if you take me back then I tell you what I’m gonna do
