I know things are gettin harder
And I know the days seem longer
But I know at the end I'll see you
And I ain't afraid of whats out there
Lord knows I've been sayin' my goddamn prayers
My heart weeps, but not for you
Cuz you're stronger than crystal darling
You shine so bright even when you're fallin'
Twisting lights faintly plaster the wall
And your sharper than the shards on the ground
You glow so hot even as you come down
Cut me, burn me, baby I don't care
And I know you can stand on your own
Don't need me to correct your tone
Laugh and act like, we're not already grown
I know we get depressed
Put my head on your chest
Carry the best twigs straight to your nest
I know things are getting softer
And I know the world moves faster
But that's the sooner I'm back in bed with you
And I'm afraid of the pain that will come
Of my desire to go numb
My heart weeps but not from you
Cuz you're stronger than crystal darlin'
You shine so bright even when you're fallin'
Twisting lights faintly plaster the wall
And your sharper than shards on the ground
Glow so hot even as you come down
Cut me burn me baby, I don't care
Cuz I know you can stand on your own,
Don't need me to correct your tone
Laugh and act like, we're not already grown
I know we get depressed
Put my head on your chest
Carry the best twigs straight to your nest
Cuz you're stronger than crystal darlin'
You shine so bright even when you're fallin'
Twisting lights faintly plaster the wall
And your sharper than shards on the ground
Glow so hot even as you come down
Cut me, burn me, baby I don't care

Cute long-haired eight-year old boy turned to a tacit, bald decoy
"Hey, Pa this is the best one yet switched around, turned around my mindset"
They'll say anything they can, make you worship and raise those hands
Take you out on the town, bring ya back and tell you to bow down
So I'm rollin' on over Missouri
And I'm rollin' on over
I went crazy, ripped the scabs off my knees, I went crazy askin "why god me?"
Suppose I ain't like them other boys, so they carved me my own damn pedestal
Extolled my voice, a trojan horse for their words
"Why the hell we goin' to hell if we don't dig girls?"
And I'm rollin' on over Missouri
And I'm rollin' on over
Cuz I am a man now, and I know I'm all fucked up
But I can stand now, and I know I can fuck you up
Oh boy, I'm outta control, I can't sleep, can't eat or see outta this hole
God taste a hell of a lot like whiskey, oh lord washeth away my wicked dreams
Oh boy, that ain't God, that's a bottle of Beam
Then I guess the Devil's the one that's been helping me
So I'm rollin' on over Missouri
And I'm rollin' on over

The Last of Me

If all my heart's in Texas, won't you take me to the one I love
Won't you help me to the one I love, my sweet darlin'
All my brains are up north, can I keep them there a while
You can toss them in a big ole pile, my sweet darlin'
But I'll keep my lungs, got to have me a little fun
Smoking cigarettes in the sun, like I've got somethin' to say
Cuz I'd sell the last of me just to be taken seriously
I'd sell the last of me to swim again in your sea
Sell the last of me
You can take my tongue, won't have to taste to get drunk
Toss it in your daddy's trunk and drive away
But please do not take my ears, for then I'd be truly alone
Might as well pick out my headstone and cry over bones
And you'll never take my wit, no that's something I'll stick with
I'd fight for it in a big bloody pit, its dying with me
Cuz I'd sell the last of me just to be taken seriously
I'd sell the last of me to swim again in your sea
Sell the last of me
If all my hearts in Austin, won't you take me to one I love
Won't you help me to the one I love, my sweet darlin'

Snow's been seepin' in these calf skin boots
But this Kentucky bourbon's got us warm and loose
Rice and tomato soup to feed our soul
Plus the doctor's pills to feel in control
But where do we go from here
Was in a different State, but the same damn place all last year
And I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I can't grow, I can't grow
Been gnawin' on the rawest bit of my thumb
Been sober all morning, but I'm still numb
Everyday I pray for tomorrow
And everyday you pray I don't let go
But where do we go from here
Was in a different State, but the same damn place all last year
And I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I can't grow, I can't grow
But where do we go from here
Was in a different State, but the same damn place all last year
And I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I can't grow, I can't grow

Your Cheatin' Heart

Your cheatin' heart will make you weep
You'll cry and cry and try to sleep
But sleep won't come
The whole night through
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you
When tears come down like fallin' rain
You'll toss around and call my name
You'll walk the floor the way I do
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you
Your cheatin' heart will pine someday
And crave the love you threw away
The time will come when you'll be blue
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you
When tears come down like fallin' rain
You'll toss around and call my name
You'll walk the floor the way I do
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you
