Twilight 03:59
Put out the lights We’re going out Tonight’s the night Let’s go downtown And leave behind Your worried mind I’m living twilight To break of day Counting on the friends I made If I don’t throw this fight And I keep my stride I might live tonight I may get by Don’t shave your face Just grab your coat You know I’m high Where should we go? Another town Another show Living twilight To break of day Counting on the friends I made I won’t throw this fight I will keep my stride I might live tonight I may get by

I’m tired of living this way Work hard for someone and some other someone will take it away I’m not fit to tow the line I’m a lover, a dreamer with rambling fever and a troubled mind Highways and byways leaving my dear home behind City to city river to prairie and pine I’m chasing that good life by the mile Praying for a clean break all the while I can tame the devil with my smile I’m chasing that good life by the mile I’m done giving up my life Through with the bleeding, the begging, the pleading for your sweet time Highways and byways leaving my dear home behind City to city, river to prairie and pine I’m chasing that good life by the mile Praying for a clean break all the while I can tame the devil with my smile I’m chasing that good life by the mile

Comfort 05:10
I thought I might call you knowing you’d listen, try to bring comfort, and say the right words Now that it’s over mornings are silent and I’m ever lonely now that you’re gone I’m not afraid of starting over Take your memory from my mind I’m pretty sure things will be better If I can see you again I thought I might call you knowing you’d listen Tell me it’s all right

March 05:50
I’m headed down desolation highway In the middle of nowhere after dark I’m in a fever and I just can’t seem to break it I’ve been waiting for the morning light to come Oh, I’m marching on I’m headed down desolation highway I believe I’m bound to fade away I’ve been roaming around a world of shadows lately I’m setting my spirit on the run Oh, I’m marching on I’m living out a broke dream A ring of fire hanging over me I’m picking up speed and marching on

Too Far Gone 03:01
I’m halfway to too far gone I’m halfway to too far gone I never noticed, but knew all along I’m halfway to too far gone I’m doing, but I’m doing wrong I keep on moving along My wheels are spinning, driving headlong I’m doing, but I’m doing wrong I’m tough, but I’m not that strong And bad luck ain’t no luck at all Waiting on sunshine all night long I’m tough, but I’m not that strong I’m halfway to too far gone Stuck between darkness and dawn I’m getting older, and time’s moving on I’m halfway to too far gone

Everyone wants to be Townes Van Zandt but, nobody wants to die Buckles, boots, a Stetson Hat, A Honky-Tonk delight But, ain’t nobody stepping up to wear that weary mind Everyone wants to be Townes Van Zandt but, nobody wants to die I can put that liquor down but, I can’t stay dry I can clean up my whole act but for a while One day I shall be released like the old Magpie I can put that liquor down but, I can’t stay dry Packing up that pickup truck to hit the mountain side Looking for old arrowheads when the meadow is dry I think I’ll climb up Cattle Creek while the sun is still high One day I’ll meet Townes Van Zandt but, not before I die One day I’ll meet Townes Van Zandt but, first I’ll have to die

Cool Water 04:00
Cool water, I need to taste you I’m burning up inside Sweet memory, time won’t erase you I need you by my side Any old fool can plainly see You’ve been shaking at my tree Waiting for a little bit of fruit to fall Every time I come to call Please, won’t you stay a little longer I’m swallowing my pride Sweet heartache Let me console you I need you in my life Any old fool can plainly see I’ve been shaking at your tree waiting for a little bit of fruit to fall Every time I come to call

All Right 04:46
Cover your eyes Lovers in flight Gathered in the mezzanine It’s happening This is really happening I can see the light All right I can see the light All right Innocent eyes Looking inside Glowing in the majesty Can you see? Is it really happening? Now I finally see the glory When the people sing hallelujah And I finally understand From the divine To the most high I believe The reckoning is happening This is really happening I can see the light All right I can see the light All right

Wild Flower 04:19
Set me ablaze with your good-hearted ways There’s a fire behind those brown eyes I try and act right But, I’m not the right type I spend too much time on my own It’s funny and true I’ve fallen for you I’m helpless, it’s plain to see Somebody who don’t play nobody’s fool Is no one to someone new Be here tonight when the stars find their light and brighten the tear stained sky Sapphire shine Strawberry wine In the valley of Bitterroot we’re gonna grow, you’re bound for change Open up wild flower If I confess, I’m a forsaken mess These days I barely get by Win some, lose some well, maybe this round I might get lucky, who knows? I’m telling you I’ll follow through I promise to make good this time I’d trade every beat of my heart for your love If you could only be mine Be here tonight when the stars find their light and brighten the tear stained sky Sapphire shine Strawberry wine In the valley of Bitterroot we’re gonna grow, you’re bound for change Open up wild flower
