Cheatem Street Lyrics
It was late one night in Southern Texas
My dad was playing in a rock-n-roll band
He took me along to a place called Cheatem Street
My bags were packed, I was ready to meet you for the first time
Oh but a phone call would have been nice
I guess you’re stuck with what was given to you
And the world couldn’t change my spirit
This will remain the same
You were young and living like you wanted to
I understand because I packed up and left just like you did
At 17 you think you got the whole world in your hands
Oh in so many ways you did
I don’t want to have you worry no more
Let’s forgive and forget and finish what we started
So we can move on
I want you to know I really needed you then
And I can use you now
I talked to you by listening to all of those stupid songs
I would sit along side of the fence
Now you’re doing fine and you’re gigging here and there
It’s been nice to know you for the past few years
When you’re living the same dream it’s easy to read each other for sure
Ohhh it could have turned out so different
I guess you’re stuck with what was given to you
And the world couldn’t change my spirit
This will remain forever
I don’t want to have you worry no more
Let’s forgive and forget and finish what we started
So we can move on
Down on the Pharmacy Lyrics
You’re fooling no one but yourself
You finally made it to your own hell
It took the bottom to shake your will
You forgot to love and forgot to feel
They locked you up, you’re scratching the ceiling
You’re down on your knees, you’re praying for something
You’re looking real high, (line to live for?)
What do you do and where do you go now
I know a place for you to hide
The past catches up with you one day
And stares you in the face and takes you away
The blindness always seems to win
And one day you will wake up with nothing to give
You’ve been strung out for awhile
I know that you know that we know you know
You’re living a story that’s already been made
You’re burning the pages that you keep fading
The more you keep hiding the more we keep fighting
The less you keep trying, the sooner you’re dying
The more that you give up, the more that you give back
The cleaner that you get, the sweeter that life is
The sooner that you know, the sooner the shit flows
Ya got to give it up now, ya gotta let it rest
The time is right now, you know it’s right
It’s time that you tear down that wall inside
The past catches up with you one day
And stares you in the face and takes you away
The blindness always seems to win
And one day you will wake up with nothing to give
Please forgive me, please forgive me…….
You never think it will ever turn out the way it does when you start out
The past catches up with you one day
And stares you in the face and takes you away
The blindness always seems to win
And one day you will wake up with nothing to give
Lah, lah, lah-da, lah-da-da
Please forgive me, please forgive me, please forgive me…
For My Friend Lyrics
I remember we used to sit out back and drink until the morning light
Always bummin’ smokes and talking trash about the pleasure we had
Summers come and gone
And the winter needs a song
And I guess I keep movin’ along in a rhyme that I have in my head
Rhyme that I have in my head
Oh we used to drop some pills and sing til we lose our voice
Chasing our dreams, we tried to put em’ in a bag and save em’ for another day yeah
Oh I feel,these memories are real
Times you can’t steal
For the love that I have for my friends
Love that I have for my friends
I just can pretend I need you
You aint’ no other love I never had
Soon you will find my log
Its a beat that will never stop
Its the loneliest time apart
Love that I have for my friends
Love that I have for my friends
Love that I have for my friends
Love that I have for my friends
Harmful Belly Lyrics
Scratch my eyes out for you
strap dynamite to my sides
shed a carcass for you
oh, empty out my soul
I’m begging you, just give me a chance
stick with me and we’ll see the rest
Oh, I’m paralyzed
I’ll carve your name here in my chest
Kill for you, and nothing less
I’ll burn alive no second thoughts
Just to hear your scratchy voice
Your scratchy voice
Rain is falling from your face,
drink the rest that still remains on you
It feels so good it starts to hurt,
hurts so bad it starts to burn
I’ll frame your eyes here on my wall
Feel your love when you are gone
It makes me sad when you are sad
I feel down when you are down
I’m begging you, just give me a chance
stick with me and we’ll see the rest
Rain is falling from your face,
drink the rest that still remains on you
It feels so good it starts to hurt,
hurts so bad it starts to burn
Why would you ever change? it’s a mystery
have me finally come apart? ……..
You’re the reason i……
………..
Rain is falling from your face,
drink the rest that still remains on you
It feels so good it starts to hurt,
hurts so bad it starts to burn
Hypnotize Lyrics
What would you do if I told you
You wouldn’t have to worry anymore
Throw all your scars in the ocean.
Sink to the floor and disappear forever
Dreaming that’s got me by this far
Without it I’d be lost in the wind
Some days I can’t get out of my own bed
Others I play along instead
It’s been a long time since I forgot about all my crimes
Walk away from all that drags me down
Soon I think I’ll get hypnotized
And start a new life
No long delays, don’t hesitate, no complicated scenarios
Let’s get right on down to the point
Don’t hold me down, right to the ground, let’s get unwound and lose that frown
So much more than we live for
You got fast forward through all of the bullshit times
You got to clear out the dust for room to breathe
Stay away from all negativity
That’ll bring you down
Don’t let the good sink in to deep in your soul
You’ve got to get outside
It’s never too late to make a change in your life
And to feel alright
You’ve got to get rid of the old
And bring the new right on in
Don’t pretend
Oh give in
And just get it done 
Last Laugh Lyrics
You didn’t wake up before you hit the ground
I didn’t stay up long enough to see you falling
You never asked for the world but then
You jumped from the rooftop
Because you had to have the last laugh
Look where you are
Look where you are now
Look where you are
I heard you say
Everyday above ground was a good one
You never see her
Hair in braids and blue eyes
Because we didn’t try hard enough
She’s still waiting to hear you sing
A song for her
You jumped from the rooftop
She still asks me
Where are you now, Where are you now
Where are you now, I heard you say
Everyday above ground was a good one
I want to live so much that I am going to die
I want to run so fast that I am going to fall
I probably said it once before I apologize
This will be the last time
This will be the last time
Where are you now, Where are you now
Where are you now, I heard you say
Everyday above ground
Where are you now, where are you now
Where are you now, I heard you say
Everyday above ground,
Everyday above ground
Was a good one.
Make a difference Lyrics
I’ve got peace on my mind with a pistol full of insistence
Enough blood to fill an egg
But does it make a difference
Tolerance was the sermon, no matter how dubious
The fundamental thinking just turned so malicious
There’s a few people spinning gold
Some just try to save their sole
But I wonder what to do
Money, Bills and secret guns
I know I can’t help everyone,
But I can take on one or two
That’s what I’ll do.
I’ve got to pick a God, so many of them to witness
Did I follow the right one; does it make a difference
Inside there’s a substance few hold my penance
The whole world is an egg, but can I make a difference
There’s a few people spinning gold
Some just try to save their sole
But I wonder what to do
Money, Bills and secret guns
I know I can’t help everyone,
But I can take on one or two
That’s what I’ll do.
It’s beautiful in the world
It’s beautiful in the world
There’s a few people spinning gold
Some just try to save their sole
But I wonder what to do
Money, Bills and secret guns
I know I can’t help everyone,
But I can take on one or two
That’s what I’ll do.
So High Lyrics
Does it ever seem like you’re living in a story someone else wrote
Everything you’ve done was all scripted out
Getting thrown in all directions but the path I want isn’t there
I was told it’s a few steps away
I could die in the sky and
Leave this world behind
I’d get so high
Live free
Have you ever felt like someone was watching you with no eyes
You try to spot them out but they all hide
Oh well I’m standing on a tower of endless thinking
Oh would you like to have a thought with me
Oh and the world seems like one big buzz of peace
We’ll be floating on below
What would it take for me to find a way to survive
A cut so deep it shows the other side
I could die in the sky and
Leave this world behind
I’d get so high
Live free
And the world seems like one big buzz of peace
We’ll be floating on the love
If Lennon was here he would sing this part
If Lennon was here he would sing this part
Tumblin Down Lyrics
I went drivin’ today
Couldn’t help but think of how
You’re with somebody else
And now you’ve got a child
It’s been a few years
Since I saw you last
I know you’re doin’ fine
You don’t miss the broken glass
Well I won’t waste your time
So I won’t come around
I didn’t mean to make you cry
I just wanted to make you proud
But it all come tumblin’ down
Well it all comes tumblin’ down
Yes it all comes tumblin’ down
Whenever you’re around
Through the years
We tried to make it work
It’d start with a yellin’ match
And end up gettin’ hurt
And now you’re gone
I’ve changed my shallow ways
I hoped you’d get to see them
But you will never know
Somedays
I miss the noise we used to make
And then I stop and think
That I ain’t ever goin’ back
Cause it all comes tumblin’ down
Yes it all comes tumblin’ down
Well it all comes tumblin’ down
Whenever you’re around
Please don’t forget about what we’ve had or lost
I’ll take it everywhere I go from here on out
I know you’ll do the same
Whatever life you make 
Wishing Well Lyrics
When you fall back down
And you lost your crown
Get back up, walk around
Turn that frown upside down
Take my hand once again
We will all understand
Help you find a new plan
Whoooooa
It’s time to help you
Get you back on your feet and on your way
If the tables were turned around
I know you’d be there for me
It all works out
Don’t get lost and forget
Turn the lights off and rest
Don’t you worry no more
Heal your pain and your sores
We’ll be there when you wake
No more sweat or the shakes
Feel the love if you can
Lost your mind, feel insane
Whoooooa
You’re feeling hopeless
And all your dreams have gone away
Take the time to heal your sorrows
And disappear from the world
Live for tomorrow
Hope you changed your ways
There’s not much more to say
When the dark turns to gray
Broken hearts fade away
Whoooooa
It’s time to help you
And get you back on your feet and on your way
If the tables were turned around
I know you’d be there for me
It all works out
And i hope that it all works out [5 times]
With the Right set of eyes
You’ve been on your own since you learned how to adjust to
You felt like you had to baby sit your owners just to feel like all the others
All you wanted was…
Something that was normal and stable
You’ve always been so aware and so able
But you still seem so far away
It’s difficult to enjoy all the holidays
It’s nothing more than the same as the other days
But you can’t feel any other way
You have to tell yourself why
Gotta keep your spirit alive
Gotta keep yourself movin’ forward
You never gave into anything around you
With something you could never afford
All you wanted was
Something that was normal and stable
You’ve always been so aware and so able
But you still seem so far away
It’s difficult to enjoy all the holidays
It’s nothing more than the same as the other days
But you can’t feel any other way
When you wish for this
You’ll ditch everything else
It just floats away and crawls out your skull
All you wanna do is crawl inside your hole
Disappear forever
Something that’s normal and stable
You’ve always been so aware and so able
But you still seem so far away
It’s difficult to enjoy all the holidays
It’s nothing more than the same as the other days
But you can’t feel any other way
Forever
Forever
Forever
Forever
