Down On Main 03:14
Verse 1: Eve took a job at the topless place But it was only just for a spell She’s going back to college So she can be acknowledged And find something better to sell But everything is the same In the money game There is only so much ink in the well You know I hate this interest rate But someone’s gotta pay so I can educate Chorus 1: I’m down here on Main Trying to study the human brain Verse 2: Adam’s Young and tired Feeling uninspired They say his generation is weak He never took a hand out And now he’s full of real doubt Because the future looks so bleak No one gets to gamble with his working camel It’s the only thing he has paid off Everyday feels like the cold hands When they tell you turn your head and cough Chorus 2: I’m flying through space Trying to study the human race I’m down here on Main Trying to study the human brain Bridge: What can you create With your wide-eyed life (Repeat) Verse 3: Someone turn the light on No one really knows what’s wrong Pour yourself another beer You better learn to haggle You better never straggle If you ever want to make it here The children better learn not to wait their turn you need to push yourself up in front and if you want to hang with the big and the strong You’ll have to learn to take a punch Chorus 3: It can be so unkind I’m trying to study the human mind I’m flying through space Trying to study the human race I’m down here on main Trying to study the human brain Outro: -END

Verse 1: Hear the ghosts stomping in the attic I can hear them shaking their chains I guess their up there dancing Long time gone, but somehow wide awake They want to communicate I’ve been working long days and night To carve my name in a tombstone I’ve got a wild look in my eye From spending too much time alone Something never came or something’s gone I’ve been thinking about taking my own life And turn it into something special I was never really one to roll the dice That’s why I’m standing at the threshold Stumbling through the cemetery Life gets kind of scary When there’s nowhere left to go Bridge: It’s time for change, but it’s hard like we’ll have to give up all we’ve gained so far Money is not the lonely reason to march We all got that marching band inside our heart Beauty, it always leaves a mark Like a wild flame out there in the dark Chorus: I’m talking to my ghosts I’m trying to find a feeling I’m talking to my ghosts Now I’m taken by a spirit. Verse 2: I was holding on to a 3 leaf clover I was going out to restaurants I was feeling pretty lucky back then When I was interviewing debutantes No one seemed to capture my imagination But I’d get so caught up in the smoke I nearly lost my destination I’ll just keep moving towards the unknown But I’d settle for some calm and peace I never really had too much to show I’m hoping these ghosts will help me see What do they want from me Bridge: It’s time for change, but it’s hard like we’ll have to give up all we’ve gained so far Ambition is sort of common these days It gives order to your life Like chains to a slave Integrity, is kind of rare So quit acting like you don’t care Chorus: I’m talking to my ghosts I’m trying to find a feeling I’m talking to my ghosts I’m staring at the ceiling I’m talking to my ghosts I’m trying to find a feeling I’m talking to my ghosts Now I’m taken by a spirit I’m Taken by a spirit

Verse 1: Shine your shoes Shake off your blues Go ahead and put your head up high Nothing is clear In this life my dear But it appears we are alive Pre-Chorus: No one said You were right in the head No one said you even needed to be Just live your life And have a hell-of-a time Don’t worry what others see Chorus: Don’t be the one to change Don’t try to stay the same Don’t be the one to try Let it go down in flames Verse 2: If you’re in the hysteria Get out of the area Don’t get yourself stuck in line Shine your beam But you needn’t be extreme A steady glow will be fine Pre-Chorus: No one said You were right in the head No one said you even needed to be Just live your life And have a hell-of-a time Don’t worry what others see Chorus 2: Don’t be the one to take Don’t be the one to blame And Don’t be the one to try Let it go down in flames Interlude: I’m learning to let go Of all in the world I cannot change If your house is on fire You must give it away You must give it away Verse 3: Don’t pick up their slack Don’t let them tell you what you lack Everyone’s a know-it-all It breeds contempt No one’s exempt From the pride before the fall Pre-Chorus: No one said You were right in the head No one said you even needed to be Just live your life And have a hell-of-a time Don’t worry what others see Chorus: Don’t be the one to change Don’t try to stay the same Don’t be the one to try Let it go down in flames

Opening Chorus 1: If you want to talk about getting free We’ll probably just be wasting our time But take as long as you need Verse 1: Coming up with a dream Is the hardest thing You gotta find money But you can’t run out of steam Do you put attention To every dimension Are you planning your big start Do you live with a big heart Chorus: You got a lotta love, I got a lotta love We could put it together If you want to talk about getting free We’ll probably just be wasting our time But take as long as you need Instrumental Interlude: Verse 2: Are you pulling the strings From behind the scenes Or are you barely just getting it together Scraping up your means Do you know where you’ll land Or are you taking a big chance Are you planning your big start Do you live with a big heart Chorus: You got a lotta love, I got a lotta love We could put it together You got a lotta love, I got a lotta love We could put it together If you want to talk about getting free We’ll probably just be wasting our time But take as long as you need

Let Me In 03:20
Verse 1: Let me tell you what I can do I’ll tell you how it is There’s some lessons that I’ve learned There’s some people that I miss It's like I'm almost nearly there The summit’s within reach When I make it to the top I’ll probably tell a little speech Chorus: See, I do a lot of good stuff Le me tell you right now Let me into your garden and I’ll plow Let me into your garden and I’ll plow Verse 2: I can cook a good meal I can weld a steel plate I can draw up a plan I can swim a long way I can throw the clothes in the wash I can train the dog I can navigate through the rain & fog When Storm clouds form up I’ll wring them out I’ll bring the sun around I’ll bring the sun around Chorus: I do a lot of good stuff Let me tell you right now Let me into your garden and I’ll plow Let me into your garden and I’ll plow Interlude: You can go ahead and do a background check While I build you a porch, or just come up on my deck We’ll have a glass of wine With a fire in the pit Pretty soon you’ll have to admit… Chorus: I do a lot of good stuff Let me tell you right now Let me into your garden and I’ll plow Let me into your garden and I’ll plow Verse 3: Love seemed easier years ago I used to think that love like a flower grows It’s more like the roots or the rain Because flowers wilt and die So I learned to prune the roses And keep things alive I messed up and missed out On sunset walks I learned to slow up, sit down And have them talks Chorus: I do a lot of good stuff Let me tell you right now Let me into your garden and I’ll plow Let me into your garden and I’ll plow I do a lot of good stuff Let me tell you right now Let me into your garden and I’ll plow Let me into your garden and I’ll plow

Verse 1: I don’t have time for feelings I worked all week and my mind in reeling Maybe this weekend we can go four wheeling Or maybe just look at the sky I can’t fix any of your problems So let’s pretend that we already solved them And we’ll go out like drunken goblins Maybe get a slice of pie Chorus: Cus I’m a good’ol regular guy I’m just a good’ol regular guy, I guess I have to apologize sometimes For being a good’ol regular guy Verse 2: I’m trying to keep up with modern demands I’m working hard with both my hands I’m executing all the commands But I really just want to go outside Time keeps ticking and I can’t stop it I clock into my busy office I put the nails into my coffin And get home just to say good night Chorus: Cus I’m a good’ol regular guy I’m just A good’ol regular guy, I guess I have to apologize sometimes For being a good’ol regular guy Interlude: I don’t need to drink Near as much as I do But it seems to me That none of those old dreams Can come true Chorus: just a good’ol regular guy I’m just A good’ol regular guy, I guess I have to apologize sometimes For being a good’ol regular guy Verse 3: We can take a Sunday drive for hours Take pictures of the dog in the wild flowers Discuss the mysteries of the higher power And what’s missing from our lives Then the weekend is over Before I’ve even rested My patience is thin Because it’s always tested I’m not sure I can learn new lessons At this stage of my life Chorus: I’m a good’ol regular guy I’m just A good’ol regular guy, I guess I have to apologize sometimes For being a good’ol regular guy

Take My Seat 04:37
Pre-Verse1: This is kind of hard for me to say And I hope you don’t take it the wrong way We’re all here together in this world Learning to participate Verse 1: This is going to sound kind of rough, I guess But I don’t want to be tied to another See, because I’ve been by myself Since I came out of my mother I want you to know that I believe in love And I love so many that gave I’ll hold this light for you as we walk through the cave Chorus: But then when we step out I want to walk Through the field with my own thoughts I want to play with the dog Seeking out signs from God I want to drink from a mountain spring I don’t want to worry about anything Please take my seat For I believe, yes, I believe Pre-Verse 2: Life is such a wonder, it is true I want to honor it everyday I can’t carry all the disappointment from you So in hope, my thoughts remain Verse 2: I hope you can remember what its like To be happy all alone When there is no one to blame your feelings And no one to control The world is full of beauty of which you are a part We make our way through the labyrinth That is the mysteries of the broken heart Chorus: But then when we step out I want to walk Through the field with my own thoughts I want to play with the dog Seeking out signs from God I want to drink from a mountain spring I don’t want to worry about anything Please take my seat For I believe, yes, I believe

Verse 1: The moon played hide and seek Behind the cypress trees The springs played music With cool water emerald green I was swimming with my lady When we were only seventeen There was nothing between the water And our skin so clean I remember we were aroused but I was so confused I regret to admit that I was child abused Abused by a faith in divine punishment Indoctrinated into fearful ignorance This was consistent with the hazing That my parents received As children raised in the American generation previously I love my mother and my father so much As we have all grown free from that oppressive clutch Chorus: The world is full of beautiful things It’s not all about punishing There is no true prophesy We’re just really here, Living for the first time. Verse 2: Now I believe if you’re here alive on Earth, Then you’ve been granted an intrinsic worth. That’s not to say that you’re free from consequence But also entitled to rewards for your compliments I’ve been wrong before And I’ll be wrong again We all maybe guilty of a similar sin The unknowable, we try to understand As it was in the beginning So shall it be in the end Chorus: The world is full of beautiful things It’s not all about punishing There is no true prophesy We’re just really here, Living, for the first time. Verse 3: The moon played hide and seek Behind the cypress trees The springs played music With cool water emerald green I was swimming with my lady When we were only seventeen There was nothing between the water And our skin so clean. -END

Verse 1: I was just sitting all alone in my tower Contemplating on my throne the clouds making shadows on my buildings In This city that I own Bounty, as far as I can see As long as I stand unopposed Control the narrative, sleight of hand Blind fold, eyes closed Chorus: All my life I’ve been trying But I don’t want to play second fiddle no more I don’t even want to hear a sound All my life I’ve been trying But I don’t want to play second fiddle no more I don’t even want to hear a sound…unless it’s me Verse 2: Hey now the was never conviction So your witch hunt really a lie Blame them first, For what you will do in disguise What can you say? You lost all context leave the books on the shelves Blinded by empty meaning They’ll destroy themselves Chorus: All my life I’ve been trying But I don’t want to play second fiddle no more I don’t even want to hear a sound All my life I’ve been trying But I don’t want to play second fiddle no more I don’t even want to hear a sound…unless it’s me Verse 3: There’s no consequence Storm the capitol See if they give in Blur the lines No one is righteous Now they believe that I always win Don’t Deny It You need me Because you live in fear I’ll protect you From the others From the difference far and near Chorus: All my life I’ve been trying But I don’t want to play second fiddle no more I don’t even want to hear a sound All my life I’ve been trying But I don’t want to play second fiddle no more I don’t even want to hear a sound…unless it’s me

I'm just trusting everything to work out right

Verse 1: Some people told me not to think too much They said don’t think too much You might lose your way Some people told me not to work too hard They said don’t work too hard You might forget how to play Some people told me not to speak in my real voice just stick with the chill choice Keep it simple and go Some people told me not to stand with a frown You need to move around, you gotta say hello Chorus: Do you want to know how everything happens Are you a scientist or a mathematician Does everything thing just look like chaos Or can you see a pattern if you look from way off Verse 2: Some people told me not to walk too fast They said when you walk too fast You’re leaving someone behind Some people told me not to try to stand out They said just stay low key Pretend you don’t know me Some people told me not to stand with my arms crossed are you afraid you might get lost If you reach out to new friends Some people told me not to read history Because it all mystery that you cannot comprehend Chorus 2: Do you want to know what I found out Do you believe your free beyond a reasonable doubt Why are you always checking over your shoulder Do you feel yourself getting colder Interlude: Hey, What’s Happening You don’t seem like yourself It looks like your patience Is about to fall off the shelf I guess I’ll see you in hell Outro: Some people told me not to think too much I think I thought too much What can I do now?

Verse 1: I got me a bandana And a loud ass bike Two or three pistols And a bitch that wants to ride I never asked permission I just moved on ahead It’s like I’ve been on a mission To live the most until I’m dead I was raised with the cattle On a cutting horse with a swinging rope I enlisted in the Marine Corp landed in Southern California That’s where I found the Ocean But ran off with the rodeo A bucking bronc couldn’t teach me Nothing I didn’t already know Break: Mandolin Verse 2: I met an angel on an airplane Going up to Canada to see my land I cashed out in Arizona To raise cattle on a Mountain Ranch Well nothing lasts forever Especially nothing so sweet We had five children together Me and my sweet Marguerite Break: Mandolin Verse 3: I went surfing in south padre To get back up on my feet I think that salt water saved me From an overwhelming defeat I moved back to California Where my kids could come visit me And I would show them the beauty And how to dance with the sea Chorus: I’ve always been wild But there were moments I wished I could save There’s two things I gave my children Music & The Ocean Waves Verse 4: I’m writing letters to the Hell’s Angels In this reflective chapter of my life Cause I’ve been with them from the beginning Flying up and down Coast Highway My stories are so outrageous All the kids laugh and say You gotta be kidding me There ain’t no fucking way Chorus: I’ve always been wild But there were moments I wished I could save There’s two things I gave my children Music & The Ocean Waves

Lay to Rest 04:06
Verse 1: Time destroys you No one’s so clever to escape it’s sway So rejoice in life And love your neighbor And keep your demons tame Bridge: Just know that… I will love you forever I will love you forever Chorus: Now It’s time to lay to rest So set your soul on a new adventure across the line there are no boundaries It's all you've known, but the time is now Verse 2: Soldiers march across the landscape This war will never end cross the ocean and climb the mountains And sit down with your friends Bridge: Just know that… I will love you forever I will love you forever Chorus: Now It’s time to lay to rest So set your soul on a new adventure step across the line there are no boundaries It's all you've known, but the time is now
