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.

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

Just Another Fool
03:49
|

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

All Around You
04:32

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

On With The Show
04:11
|

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

Somewhere Down The Line
03:52
|
|||
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’

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

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

Never Know Why
08:30
|
|||
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

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
