I hit the open road
Nowhere to go
But I'm feelin' loose
So I'll drive as fast as I wanna
Pedal to the floor
Got the music loud
And I'm driving high
All the way back home alone
Sun's on my skin
Living high on the horse again
And man
I hope I don't get bucked off
Cause it's been a bitch
Chasing down this itch
That I've had for years now
Would someone
Stop me if I get too high
Oh yeah, you got full permission
To knock me down a level
Baby, would you take my keys and drive?
Oh ya know these idle hands of mine
Are the devil
Tell me how much this is gonna cost me
Yeah, you had me there for a while but
Then ya lost me
Wheels comin' off
I hope we don't get popped
But hey, it's been a good ride
Ain't it
So cut me loose my hands they're tied
Oh lord
I'm in no condition for dancing with the devil
Baby, should we make it out alive
Oh, you know I'm gonna put my foot
On the pedal
Don't you get up and leave now
Oh, don't you get up and leave now, sugar
Break a little off
Don't you get up and leave now
Don't you get up and leave now with my sugar
Stop me if I get too high
Oh lord
I'm in no condition
For dancing with the devil
Baby, should we make it out alive
Oh, ya know I'm gonna put my foot
On the pedal
Ooh ooh
Yeah
Ooh ooh
Ooh yeah
On the pedal

What you waiting for?
What's been
Keeping you from goin' out?
Are ya feelin' torn?
Ya gone from sleeping-in to sleeping round
Just dip your toes into this one
You know, a night out might just save ya
Go if you want to
I can't watch your back when you're far away
Just keep to this path you're on
Save the mood you're in for another day
You know you leave me buzzed
Never felt this way from just holding hands
I can't be feelin' love
Too many worn out songs from the ballad bands
Oh
You're lookin' bomb
But you're tired
Can I just lay with you awhile now
Save me from this holding pattern
Call the boys they'll bring me 'round
Out here on this ledge
I'm trying to justify not jumping down
Now that I'm your ball and chain
I'll try to give you space, I suppose
I've been pulling away, but now I'm not sure
If it's working
Stuck in middle
Make my way to the higher ground
And away from the world
Pull me back up behind the clouds

Out here trying to make some hay while the sun shines
Momma calls so I tell her that I'm doing just fine
But I lie
I don't think its helping getting stoned
Staying in drinking on my own
I know it can't help sleeping alone
No
Been feeling kinda broke
Feeling like I'm losing
Feeling like a joke
Yes I've been down
Yeah you found me low
I kinda let myself go
Hey
Get your hands off me
Get your own
I'm on a roll
And now I'm returning all the favors
Why stop now when there's
So much more money to blow
Don't let it hit you on the way out
Oh don't let em pop you, boy
When you're riding
Down
Down here with the dogs
Oh you're feeling useless
But you're among your kind
You're looking kinda lost
Been doing too much boozing
And feeling what it costs
Yeah I feel it now
Am I too late
Did I give it all away
No
Get your hands off me
Get your own
I'm on a roll
Who knew it snowed this much in Vegas
Why stop now when there's
So much more money to blow
Don't let em catch you on the way out
Babe
Oh don't let em pop you, baby
Oh, hey
Get your hands off me
Get your own
I'm on a roll
Didn't you say you knew some ladies?
Why stop now when there's so much more
Money to blow
Don't let it hit you on the way out, babe

In the Cards

Are you as guilty
As you seem to be
Don't you lie to me
Livin' on the west end
Ya look so different
Fishin' for compliments
At least you found some friends
So you can all pretend
That your fame and fortune's 'round the bend
I've had to work for mine
I had to stand in line
And I'm only stopping once I'm dead
Shake the dust off that's been on your wings
And you might
Just fly, babe
You told me once
What's in the cards for me
And how they don't lie
Do you remember
When you confessed to me
In a hushed voice
Under the covers
That behind the make-up
And all the selfish streaks
You're a hopeless beast
With a resting-bitch-face
At least we're open now
So I can tell you how
I've enjoyed the way the lies go down
Yeah, I'm glad we intertwined
I'm glad we toed the line
Cause you know I know that you know better
Shake the dust off that's been on your wings
And you might
Just fly, babe
You told me once
What's in the cards for me
And how they don't lie
Oh no no
Somewhere down along the protest lines
I'm reaching out
Hope you're well
Dust off your wings
Gotta make this fly
Try to make her sing
I'm done with everything
And Hollywood
Shake the dust off that's been on your wings
And you might just fly, babe
You told me once
What's in the cards for me
And how they don't lie

You've been pouring your heart out onto a page
Been shakin' the bottle 'till it's empty
You drifted away from me in stages
Still, you're the best I've ever had
It's been a while since you've been real with us
And it's been a while since you've been home
Oh, but love don't stop at the door it keeps going
I'm a sucker for your games and you know it
I lock myself on the roof and I write about you
Sometimes I wonder why I try
Cause I've been a prisoner in absentia
Yeah, I'm still a prisoner to this life
Comin' back from the brink's got you wondering
Is this how you want to spend your days?
Getting harder to tell if you're still on the right track
I'm thinking it's all just been a phase
And it's still all I've ever wanted

Lights

All the lights are on, but it's empty
As I look out onto the city
There's a stillness to the miles
There's so much life out there
But there's no one left to chase it
It's all going to waste on kids who'd rather play inside
And as we're going through the motions for the hundredth time
Reminded we're alone
Stressed out in your prime
Strange times
Yeah, I can feel the pressure building
Coming in from every side
There's too much life in you
So they'll try their best to tame it
But you've seen too much and now your eyes are open wide
Open
But the wool's still there on your eyes
Locked up in your prime
If you
Still wanted to
You'd make time
And as were going through the motions for the hundredth time
Reminded we're alone
Stressed out in our prime

Feverdreams
03:31

No prescription
No amount of drugs
Could wipe the smile I've got off my face
I've got
Someone else in your place now
And it only sounds so easy
Cause it was
Because it was
I kind of like to think that you're stuck
I can't help but want to wish the worst for you
I like hearing that your life's fucked up
And that moving on from me is hard for you
Been thinking, man
What an evil thing to say
Usually you know that's not me
But I'm praying to God that you're
Cold and alone somewhere
And still having those nightmares
I'm hoping that they keep you up
Been sleeping fine in case you're wondering
It took a while but now my dreams don't feature you
Roll the windows down and let the smoke pour out
I hope they stop me if I'm on my way to you
Feelin' pain
But nothin' that I can't take
I'm not feelin' any heartache
No, I'm feeling cured from this
Poison you dosed me with
There's still some if you wanna hit
I'll see you when the fever's gone

Embers

Comin' down
From an old, familiar high
It's a long way down from where we started
And I
I don't know
I can read your face
Says we're not quite broke but
Something's out of place
Tumbling down
Down towards the place
We tried avoiding
Burnin' down
Drownin' out all
The evil voices
She leans in close
With her skin-tight clothes
And in dulcet tones
She says to me
Touch me
And I know
It's probably wise to go
But she says
Touch me
Light a match and burn it down behind you
All your dreams
Now just embers
Rainin' down
Burned where you left them
Gone for good
You were warned
A thousand times or more
But to hell with the caution
Thrown to the wind
Thrown to the wind
