You may hold keys to the city
Decide what floods and dries out
You'll never know how easy
It was to watch your own put you in the ground
There's a new headstone in the graveyard
Birds shit on it just the same
We're still getting water here in the city
And no one remembers any names
Learned to kill before they learned to run
Kept good company but bot for long
You can see them at the bar room
Spending money like it's already gone
There's still questions unanswered
Another went missing the other day
We're still getting folks here at the bar room
And no one remembers any names

Scared to Stay
02:22

Scared to stay
Scared to leave
No stumble in my tongue
Shaking in my knees
I saw more light
At the end of the line
Oh I screamed out for death
They were singing in the pines
Shaky hands
Quick fix
I had a plan
Something else
Always wondering why
I could never seem to find you in the right place or time
Oh this world kill you and I
Strip the memories from your thoughts
Let the darkness into your mind
Set me free
How I flew
Face down into the pavement
Right on back to you
My heart sank
When I heard
Oh I drink to your forgiveness and the world I wanna see burn
Oh this world will kill you and I
But I know
A few ways we can kill the time

Crown Made of Smoke

Gone so long might as well call it home
King of the road
Tired and broke
The drinks are free and the songs nobody knows
Well it suits me just fine like a crown made of smoke
Certainly squandered
Aimlessly wandered
Throwing coins in wells without a wish or a name
Oh you see me asleep in my van
No, my dreams start when I wake
Hand me down
Familiar sound
Rag picking tune
Ii V I turn around
Spent all my money getting to the next show
Oh it suits me just fine like a crown made of smoke
Bury me standing
Or not at all
Char my body till there's nothing but charcoal
Write out the words here's the fool that lived the joke
Oh it suits me just fine like a crown made of smoke
Certainly squandered
Aimlessly wandered
Throwing coins in wells without a wish or a name
Oh you see me asleep in my van
No my dreams start when I wake
Hand me down
Familiar sound
Rag picking tune
ii V I turn around
Spent all my money getting to the next show
Oh it suits me just fine
Like a crown
Made of smoke

I ain't looking for a reason to stay I'm looking for a reason
I can only watch my self change
Get through the season
Get through the season
Get through the season this time next year
Hold me close when I laugh in my sleep
Try not to be so mean to you in your dreams
In your dreams
Swear I'll still be here this time next year
I know your thoughts they're an awful brew
I'll be here shaking without you
Without you
Without you oh this time next year
I ain't looking for a reason to stay I'm looking for a reason
I can only watch my self change
Get through the season
Get through the season
Get through the season this time next year
Get through the season
Get through the season
Get through the season this time next year

Cut

Never cut you down
If you never grow
I can fill this world
Things I don't know
But the drum in my chest
Wasn't there before you
Now we only share our loneliness
Thoughts we never got to choose
Well I'm pulling strings trying to leave
This world crumbling water at your knees
Can't look away and move on
So I take myself down to the bar
Try not to drink too much so I don't stay long
Forever is just a word assholes like to sing in songs
Never make a sound
If you never know
I can fill this world
Love that wouldn't grow
But the drum in my chest
Tore us in two
Wish I would have met you
When I was only passing though

Broken Cup
Gonna run dry
Flooded streets
Cloudy sky
Wondering mind
Ship lost at sea
Found that sky
A little heavy
Hold to the road
Gonna find the end
Other side
Around the bend
Worn out shoes
Gonna take you from your home
Life that you live
Gonna leave you alone
This life will take from you
Everything you can loose
What are you willing to do
Can you spare any more
Little white lines
Tumbleweed mind
A million miles
Live behind these eyes
Bottle and gun
Ain't it a shame
Shoulda never had left
Could never had stayed
This life will take from you
Everything you can loose
What are you willing to do
Can you spare any more
This life will take from you
Everything you can loose
What are you willing to do
Can you spare any more

Rivers Getting Wider

River's getting wider
Gonna learn to float
Fence burnt down
Don't need more smoke
Whispers on the wind
Gonna stop your breath
People on the corner singing oh death
Oh can't spare
One more night
Got no use for a worried mind
We're gonna build a city
That'll pierce the sky
Work to live a living sounds like
Dying selling time
They say it's temporary
Just a stop along the way
I'm gonna float to the top
Live out the day
Oh can't spare
One more night
Got no use for a worried mind

Stoned and Lonesome

Stoned and lonesome
Wish I knew why
Bar room door ain't gonna keep me spilling out tonight
Rolling over same road
Same story told before
Drifting down the line
Some days up
Others just trying
Shame's for the sober
Hope never lasted long
Time put lines on my face and
Time will take them off
It's almost over
Be what you choose
Never had a life worth living
Least you had nothing to loose
Drifting down the line
Some days up
Others just trying

Here's to the Devil
by Bridge City Sinners
supported by 11 fans who also own “Gone”
I am not sure how to classify this & it really doesn't matter... :) This album is superb & filled with incredibly playful melodies & wicked humour - especially in the lyrics. The humour in the lyrics reminds me a little of a modern day Tom Lehrer even if the music is totally different but it is the playing with words & having a ton of fun while doing it that does it :) Thank you so much to tesla_666 for taking me here! I love it & highly recommend it!!!
