Mother's Day
02:34

I don't break bread on Mother's Day anymore
I don't want that to sound like I'm disgracing your memory
After you died for two months I slept on the floor
I couldn't shake the feeling I always let you down
And sure parents are proud of their children
But all I did was argue whine and complain
I tried my best to have meaningful conversations
But the only thing in my brain was an image of you in the coffin
In twenty years I will have outlived you
I'm not sure if that's a burden or a joy
I can never ask you how you feel about it
You'll never know any challenge that I'm facing

Eyes
01:22
|

|
And your eyes
Two pools of water
Quenching my thirst
Filling my dry mouth
And your eyes
Not quite a mirror
More of an intrusion
Into my worst ways
I hope you don't take that poorly
And my eyes
Two pools of creation
Feeding my thoughts
A world of lies
And my eyes
Not quite the issue
I'm sick of this conversation
Can me just move on
We can pick it up sometime later

Sean Flynn

Sean Flynn disappeared on out in Vietnam
When I fell for you I fell like a cannonball
Shot into the sky before spinning in descent
Everything felt just like a wartime incident
Amelia Earhart disappeared over open sea
When I fell for you I fell into lunacy
I was locked away restraints on my arms
The first time that I saw you it felt like I got hit by a car
Ambrose Bierce disappeared on down in Mexico
When I fell for you I fell out my bedroom window
My life flashed before me falling six floors down
And all I saw was you until I hit the ground

Townie Gal
01:58
|
|||
|
Oh my townie gal
Knows the best places to hang out
She don't shoot up anymore
Not since her ex boyfriend went to jail
She tells me she loves me
When no one else is around
She's unique and ubiquitous
She's my townie gal
Oh my townie gal
She's never worked a day in her life
She says her daddy doesn't love her
But he gives her money left and right
She'll defend an accused rapist
Talk shit on who called him out
She's boycotting bars
She's my townie gal

Blueberries
01:10
|
|||
|
I bought some blueberries from the farmer's market
Thick as nickels and deeper hued than the ocean
I didn't want to consume them but bask in their beauty with
All the pretty girls I declined to call

I got too drunk in a dive bar in St Louis
I woke up to a hangover that was ruthless
Feeling such dismay
In the great gateway
I found my limits in a dive bar in St Louis
I rendered myself somewhere below useless
I just wanna go home
Leave this western Rome

Nearing the Loop
01:10
|
|||
|
Ten o'clock comes and goes
Midnight comes and goes
Two o'clock comes and goes
What time does the bar close
I'm nearing the loop
Sunday rolls on by
Tuesday rolls on by
Thursday rolls on by
How long will I wanna die
I'm nearing the loop

Baby, you took a chance
Now you love me more than Hamm's
I wanted to be your champion (you know)
You made me your Hammpion
This isn't a paid advertisement
It's just the highest honor you bestow

Lake Chicot
00:45
|
|||
|
I heard De Soto's buried here
But that fact might be wrong
You can watch me swim across
But I don't think I'm that strong
Come on in and wade beside me
Let me be your savior
Shower me with every praise just
Don't judge my behavior

Historian
01:13
|
|||
|
And I have it
On good authority
That Tarrare
And Kaspar Hauser
Were high school sweethearts
You can write that down

I'll follow you wherever you lead me to
I'll go anywhere you need me to go
Whether it's the bottom of the ocean
Or the middle of a desert you know you'll find me there
And I know I'm a hired gun
But I wanna be a gun hired
'Cause baby don't you know
Where there's smoke I'm your fire
I'll play whatever you produce for me
I'll sing every song you need me to sing
And at the end of the evening
I won't stand in your way if you get the joke I'm making

Toothache

The toothache
In my mouth
Is the least
Significant
Thing I know
In the world

I'm sick of the same shit
I'm sick of the bullshit
You're talking bout drinking
You're talking bout smoking
You're talking bout fucking
You're talking bout bullshit
You're doing the same shit
I'm sick of the bullshit
You say you can do better
Then why don't you prove it
You're making me sick
I'm gonna leave here right now
I'm gonna leave here yeah yeah

Oxbow
01:14
|
|||
|
When Highway 7 washed out
I took the detour through Ben Hur
Stopped to see the Pedestal Rocks
And found out Arkansas is all the same
After a trespass into Dogpatch
Another sad night in Harrison
I wish I could escape the Ozarks
Thinking Arkansas is all the same
You haven't stopped by in a while
Visits spread longer than the Mississippi
You've cut me out like an oxbow lake
I think you realized I'll never change

Goshen
01:30
|
|||
|
I'll enjoy what I have
If I can feel with my two hands
I'll slow down on the road
To avoid cops over the White River
Where the farmers break their bodies
I will lay myself down
When the sun rises in Goshen
I'll be long outta town
|

You say you're ready to go
But I will decay if we go home
The light is too bright and clean
I don't want to expose my skin
A black cat crosses our path
I know the misfortune it brings
I'm exhausted and weary
But never too tired to drink
Birds signaling sunrise
Tomorrow is knocking on my door
I know you've heard this let me say it again
I'm not drinking anymore
And oh well
Never was there ever
A cat so clever as
Magical Mr Mistoffelees
