Some Days
03:57
|

|
Some days are good
Some years are not
Knuckles on wood
Nerves up in knots
Karma keeps me cautious
And bourbon keeps me brave
And just a little too honest
To believe that I am saved
But I am still new at getting old
Pay these dues
And wear down these bones
Breaking is easy
And hope is hard
When some days are good
And some years aren’t
Some people change
Some things don't
When life's a stage
It's all mirrors and smoke
And everyone's a friend
Until the hard times come around
But what I've learned
I learned the way
no one tells you about
Because I am still new at getting old
I pay these dues and
Wear down these bones
Breaking is easy and hope is hard
Because some days are good
And some years aren't
I am still new at getting old
I've paid these dues
I've worn out these bones
Breaking is easy
Hope is hard
Some days are good
And some years aren't
Some days are good
And some years aren’t
But some days are good

Sunscreen
02:58
|

|
I want someone
To remind me to wear sunscreen
And take my vitamins when it slips my mind
I want someone
Who knows how I like my coffee
And wants to share a bed for more than a night
But I'm stubborn, selfish
Easily jealous at times
I'm hard to love
And I just want someone to try
I want someone
Who knows that I'm not made for mornings
And doesn't scold me for smoking when I drink
I want someone
Who listens when they've heard the story
And gives me enough space to breathe
Cause I'm stubborn, selfish
And easily jealous at times
I'm hard to love
And I just want someone to try
To try
Try
I want someone
Who can ground me when I'm too high
And light up the dark side of my head
I want someone
To share my coffee, my sunscreen
My mornings, my stories, and my bed
Someone stubborn, selfish
And easily jealous would be fine
I won't mind if they're hard to love
I just want someone to try

Great Divide
04:01
|
|||
|
I wish I could leave my skin behind
In this old rented room
Float my way across
The great divide and be buried in you
I’ve been looking far and wide
For what I got to prove
Putting peaks in my rearview
Well it's colder here
Than anyone told me the South could get
And I took to staying up real late
And smoking cigarettes
The cheap tobacco burns
The way that bridge between us did
And I'm left looking at the glowing ends
But am I too far gone
To be running home?
Because I’m longing tonight
To be somewhere
Across that great divide
I wish I could take the hands of time
And turn them in reverse
I'd take back every long goodbye
With venom in my words
The only way to being found
Is getting lost at first
But all I find are more bridges to burn
So am I too far gone
To be running home?
Because I'm longing tonight
To be somewhere
Across that great divide
Well the highway has way
Of playing tricks on tired eyes
I swear that I see you
Riding shotgun late at night
Seems that you're the only thing
That never leaves my mind
The only thing worth getting right
So am I too far gone?
Because I'm running home
If only in my mind
I am somewhere
Across that great divide

Ruby
02:51

Ruby, she was made for going West
And did not protest my wandering ways
Ruby, she was pretty as they come
28 years young and unafraid
She gave me shelter on the coldest nights
Shaded me on summer days
And I had never known my place before
But that’s what Ruby soon became
Ruby, she wasn’t good at going fast
And the patience that I lacked I learned to grow
Because Ruby had a way of breaking down
And leaving me out there on the road
But she gave me shelter on the coldest nights
And shaded me on summer days
So as we traveled 'cross the country wide
Ruby set the pace
Ruby could be fickle and unfit
Good as I would get at times
Ruby was the closet thing to home
I’ll ever know in this life
Ruby, hit that California sand
And slipped right through my hands eventually
Ruby, I guess I knew it all the time
She was never mine to keep
But she gave me shelter on the coldest nights
And shaded me on summer days
Nothing ever felt like home again
When Ruby went away
Nothing’s ever felt like home since when
Ruby went away

Can I Stay
04:01
|
|||
|
I'm no good at making small talk
But do you mind if I sit down?
Indiana was a long shot
And I could use another round
I don't mean to be too bold
No, it's not at all like me
But when you're making
Your way home
Would you like some company?
Because oh-oh-oh
I'm tired of sleeping on my own
And oh-oh-oh
I've such a long way to go
And you remind me
Of somebody I know
Can I stay with you a while?
Whiskey eyelids
Weigh me down some
When a smoke-filled talk
Comes to a close
And it's these moments
Where my mind runs
From the emptiness
Of open roads
And oh-oh-oh
I'm tired of sleeping on my own
Oh-oh-oh
I've such a long way to go
And you remind me
Of somebody I know
Can I stay with you a while?
Come tomorrow
I'll be gone again
So don't ask me for much
I'm no good at keeping promises
I promise this is enough
And oh-oh-oh
I'm tired of sleeping on my own
Oh-oh-oh
It's such a goddamn lonely road
And I'm sleeping alone
But you remind me
Of somebody I know
Can I stay with you a while?
You remind me of
Someplace I called home
Can I stay with you a while?

Skin & Script
03:44
|
|||
|
All you are is black ink on blue lines
But all I am is one notch in a bedpost
Or at most the ghost
That keeps you warm
Just the ghost
We went searching for some comfort
By using one another
Both needing lovers of some sort
But it was vile and it was cheap
How we’d trade for what we need
With words and curves behind closed doors
I bought the lines I needed from you
Slipping out of that dress
And my high-heeled shoes
I guess I needed my fix too
I spent the night so you’d spend your words
And we both got hooked, we both got burned
Because I move the way that you like
And you fed me your best lines
And we took one more hit
Of skin and script
You’ll lose me in your sleep
Tucked beneath the same sheets
That sheltered my bare skin
And I’ll lose my mind
When I rewind every time
I tasted your sweat
I breathed your heat in
Because the only way you keep me warm now
Is burning lyrics I wrote down
And I bought the lines I needed from you
Slipping out of that dress
And my high heel shoes
I guess I needed my fix too
I spent the night and smoked your words
Until we both got high, it all got worse
Because I loved you like you needed
And you became my addiction
Sweet and sick
With one more hit of skin and script

Boy
04:24
|
|||
|
It's dawn when you are darkest
I wait for the light
And I have tried my hardest
But nothing that I do makes you shine
When you're here, you are not here
I wonder where it is your mind goes
Because it’s quiet
Oh, but I can't fill the silence anymore
Don't I deserve
Feeling like I'm worth
Someone who gives a damn
I don't know why
I'm giving all my time to a boy
Who won't be a man
I swore up and down that I could
But now I'm not sure that I can
Because a person has a limit
Of just how much indifference they'll stand
Don't I deserve
Feeling like I'm worth
Someone who gives a damn
I don't know why
I'm wasting all my time on a boy
Who won't be a man
I have loved, I do love
And surely I'll just keep on loving you
But now it's from a distance
This apathy is something I can’t do
Because I deserve
Knowing that I'm worth
Someone who gives a damn
And I've had enough
Of giving all my love to a boy
Who won't be a man
To a boy who won't be a man
You're a boy and I need a man

Pictures On A Wall
04:01
|
|||
|
I've climbed the mountains in Montana
Danced in the lights of New Orleans
Portland ran away with me
And San Fransisco stayed with me
Nashville made its way in between
Fell in love in Minnesota
I fell apart south of Salt Lake
Colorado calls to me
And Washington will always be
Begging for a piece of me to stay
Maybe some things never change
But I wanna know how it feels
To hang pictures on a wall
Sleep in the same bed at night
I want reasons to stay
I want someone to take up my time
And miss me when I go
I've swam the beaches on the west coast
And climbed the trees of Caroline
I have felt the city streets of
Boston underneath my feet
I’ve heard the sound of subways down the line
Walked the lakesides of Wisconsin
And bathed in springs of Idaho
I could use a day or two
Or even just an afternoon
Getting myself lost in Chicago
Maybe I'm homesick for it all
Because I wanna know how it feels
To hang pictures on a wall
Sleep in the same bed at night
I want reasons to stay
I want someone to take up my time
And miss me when I go
I want a home
Because I have traveled across
This country wide
And I feel there must be
Something more to find
I miss those mountains in Montana
I have wandered long enough
To know how good a good thing was
I feel it more the further that I get
So the wheels are pointed west
Until I know how it feels
To hang pictures on a wall
Sleep in the same bed at night
I want reasons to stay
I want someone to take
Up my time and
Miss me when I go
I'll find reasons to stay
And someone to take
Up my time
And I'm not gonna go
When I get home
I'm goin' home

Leaving Soon
04:37
|
|||
|
I'll be leaving soon
I'll be headed north
Though I don't know where
I don’t know what for
I'll be leaving soon
I'll be moving fast
And I'll be running hard
Though I can't say how long
I can't say how far
I'll be leaving soon
Because that road pull on me
Far away from Tennessee
To Big Sky and evergreen trees
I'll be flying free
And I'll be growing up
I've been chained too tight
Enough is enough
And I'll be leaving soon
Because that road pull on me
Far away from Tennessee
To Big Sky and evergreen trees
I'll be on my own
Suppose that's nothing new
Nothing holding back
And nothing to lose
I'll be leaving soon
Because that road pull on me
Far away from Tennessee
To Big Sky and evergreen trees
That road pulls on me
And I'll be leaving soon

The whole album is awesome. But I gravitated first toward "Portland". Then "Wildwood Flower" because I'm familiar the 10,000 Maniacs cover. Very different; AVK's is very contemplative.
