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

Meteor Shower
03:30
|
|||
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

Find Your Way
03:56
|
|||
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

Devil You Know
03:26
|
|||
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

Have Some Fun
03:57
|
|||
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

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

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

Blue-collar Blues
04:06
|
|||
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

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

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
