No Mercy 04:02
Flying down the highway in a black Cadillac The devil she is driving and we're never going back Living like Bonnie and Clyde no care for how this ends Breaking all the rules just so we can win Dancing out on that high wire Between the shadows and the fire Fighting to be free without any mercy Fighting to be free without any mercy In the desert under the stars past the road's dead end Well beyond what we were told and lost dreams begin As the crow flies in the night so dark no one sees We'd rather die on our feet than live on our knees Dancing out on that high wire Between the shadows and the fire Fighting to be free without any mercy Fighting to be free without any mercy Fighting to be free without any mercy Fighting to be free without any mercy

Rolling On 04:02
Rolling down the highway Taking it a day at a time Running from my troubles Hoping to leave them behind Got to be more to life Than living it this old way Feeling like it’s hard to breathe Under this cloud of gray Remember to make each day count And don't let your troubles take you down Just keep rolling on Just like a rolling stone Keep rolling on Just like a rolling stone Thumbing down the byway Drinking strawberry wine Life gets even sweeter When you let it ripe on the vine There's no good reason To let worry go to your head All this world’s trouble Will be gone when you’re dead Remember to make each day count And don't let your troubles take you down Just keep rolling on Just like a rolling stone Keep rolling on Just like a rolling stone Just keep rolling on Just like a rolling stone Keep rolling on Just like a rolling stone

Tattoo 03:31
Don't you know that it's you You're my favorite tattoo With everything that you do You're my favorite tattoo Out where the mountains get high Where you can almost touch the sky It's easy to see the stars shine And think the world below is kind But it reaches for you and me Daring to pull us below Trying to bring us to our knees Closer to the shadows Don't you know that it's you You're my favorite tattoo Under my skin so true You're my favorite tattoo Even in our great escape There's no place for us to run Even when we stay awake The nightmares they still come Always reaching for you and me Daring to pull us below Trying to bring us to our knees Closer to the shadows Don't you know that it's you You're my favorite tattoo With everything that you do You're my favorite tattoo You're my favorite tattoo You're my favorite tattoo
4.
Don’t you know you got me out of control Like I'm falling for you heart and soul I don’t think that I could ever break free From all of your beautiful gravity When I see you laying there in the starlight You make everything feel so right And every time you touch me you set me on fire Burning with unholy desires Standing with you naked in a meteor shower My heart is beating a million miles an hour Now I'm spinning around caught up in your galaxy You are more than just a heavenly body to me - yea Just like the pale moon pulls on the ocean tides There is no place for me that I can hide And every time you touch me you set me on fire Burning with unholy desires Standing with you naked in a meteor shower My heart is beating a million miles an hour And every time you touch me you set me on fire Burning with unholy desires Standing with you naked in a meteor shower My heart is beating a million miles an hour Standing with you - in a meteor shower
5.
Sometimes life’s like grabbing a tiger by the tail You think you have it in hand but it grabs you instead Never let it get you down that’s just how it simply goes Some of the best journeys are down a long dark winding road Just got to keep that fire in your eyes Don't let your dreams up and die You gotta live for the day Find your own way Live for the day when you can Find your way Don't you know there are people who will try and drag you down It’s always been that way when you step out of the crowd Promise you won’t let them change just who you are Always be willing to follow your own North Star Just got to keep that fire in your eyes Don't let your dreams up and die You gotta live for the day Find your own way Live for the day when you can Find your way Just got to keep that fire in your eyes Don't let your dreams up and die You gotta live for the day Find your own way Live for the day when you can Find your way Find your way
6.
Due to the shame I strayed from that high road Despite all the kindness that I was shown Now the devil is coming to take me home I can't recall the last time I wasn't cold It must have been long before I lost my soul You can look back but you can never go home You can look back but you can never go home Everytime your not true to yourself It feels like your drowning in the wishing well We all make our own personal hell We all make our own hell
7.
After working hard all week it’s time to let our hair down Time to call the party people who like to get rowdy and loud Way out past the city lights where only the moon can see We're gonna start drinking and we'll skinny dip in the creek We don't mean no harm We don't mean no harm We're just looking to have some fun Looking to have some fun We don't mean no harm We don't mean no harm We're just looking to have some fun Put some Blackberry Smoke on the box and blow those speakers out Light a fire for the beautiful girls to shake and shimmy around Once the flames fade down to embers we'll count the stars in the sky Maybe get tangled with our lover until the sunrise We don't mean no harm We don't mean no harm We're just looking to have some fun Looking to have some fun We don't mean no harm We don't mean no harm We're just looking to have some fun
8.
Undertaker 04:10
When the sun goes down in the city You better not be out on the street The wolves they come out at night And they’re always hungry to feed Don't you dare expect any pity There won't be none to find In the heat of the battle There’s no telling wrong from right So you better get right with your maker And set aside some coin for the undertaker When it’s not live and let live You’re either quick or you’re dead Brandish steel with a vengeance Your next breath on that depends Never turn your back to a stranger Keep one eye on your friends The reaper comes for us all We're just ashes to ashes in the wind So you better get right with your maker And set aside some coin for the undertaker So you better get right with your maker And set aside some coin for the undertaker
9.
Lying To Me 04:00
Bird on a wire sang me a song About what’s really been going on He told me about how you don't shoot straight And how my faith had been so misplaced The tune was sad and it left me blue Just like how the truth will often do You’re a diamondback in the black with poison on your tongue Like a fox in a henhouse on a midnight run Everyone knows that talk is cheap The trouble that you sow yeah is what you'll reap Lay down with the dogs you'll get up with the fleas And sweet little nothings, they're lost in the breeze I said they’re lost in the breeze, while you’re lying to me Don't think there’s anything I can say To make you wanna change your lying ways You come around here with your fancy talk But the only thing that matters is do you walk that walk Just as sure as day follows the night The darkness always runs from the sunlight You’re a diamondback in the black with poison on your tongue Like a fox in a henhouse on a midnight run Everyone knows that talk is cheap The trouble that you sow yeah is what you'll reap Lay down with the dogs you'll get up with the fleas And sweet little nothings, they're lost in the breeze I said they’re lost in the breeze, while you’re lying to me Don’tcha know you’re a diamondback in the black with poison on your tongue Like a fox in a henhouse on a midnight run Everyone knows that talk is cheap The trouble that you sow yeah is what you'll reap Lay down with the dogs you'll get up with the fleas And sweet little nothings, they're lost in the breeze I said they’re lost in the breeze, while you’re lying to me Said they’re lost in the breeze, while you’re lying to me
10.
It's getting hard on my street To make the ends meet No matter how hard I try I always end up behind I got the blue-collar blues The bills are coming due I got the blue-collar blues The bills are coming due - yea Every dollar I make is one more I lose Now all the bills are coming due The devil lives up in D.C. He wears a 3 piece suit He's looking down on us Keeps us under his boot I got the blue-collar blues The bills are coming due I got the blue-collar blues The bills are coming due Every dollar I make is one more I lose Now all the bills are coming due The day’s gonna come When we've had enough There'll be no place to run Under God's sun I got the blue-collar blues The bills are coming due I got the blue-collar blues The bills are coming due Every dollar I make is one more I lose Now all the bills are coming due I got the blue-collar blues I got the blue-collar blues I got the blue-collar blues
11.
Misbehavin' 02:58
You know I made me a promise That I wouldn't do this again As soon as I saw you in that doorway I knew that I would give in Lord have mercy on me I know its probably a sin I didn't want to get caught In your tangled web again You know this never works out that well for me But I just can't stop cravin' your misbehavin' I just can't stop cravin' your misbehavin' You know my poor old mother She would be ashamed of me But that smiling devil on my shoulder You know he doesn't agree You know this never works out that well for me But I just can't stop cravin' your misbehavin' I just can't stop cravin' your misbehavin' You know that this never works out well - for me Cause I just can't stop cravin' your misbehavin' I just can't stop cravin' your misbehavin' No I just can't stop cravin' your misbehavin' Woe is me
12.
Hard Times 03:27
We both know that times are hard Even if they try to sell it as avant-garde That sure won't make it any easier To make those ends meet, oh no Especially when those hard times Move in on your street Baby please Let me wipe those tears from your eyes Don't you know that these hard times Will eventually pass us by We just gotta hold on Until these hard times, they are gone But that don't make it any easier To make those ends meet, oh no Especially when those hard times Move in on your street Especially when those hard times Move in on your street
