There was a big dark rain cloud
that found me on my way home
There was a big dark rain cloud
that found me on my way home
So surprised it's passed me by
I was saved by that big Texas Sky
well it found me in my truck
drivin' hard from St. Louis way
yes it followed me in my truck
drivin' dads records home that day
So surprised it's passed me by
I was saved by that big ole Texas Sky
fifty thousand sides of vinyl
I'm gonna drive 'em all the way home
Lord, that's a whole lotta vinyl
that even rain clouds follow me home
So surprised it passed me by
I was saved by that big ole Texas Sky

i'm a little lost right now
but there's a few things left to say
we could skip work
we should take the time right now
we could sit by the riverside
sit by the riverside
you know all my secrets now
that i still wake up with my shame
but i'm a grown man now
with no one left to blame
we should sit by the riverside
even though your name is black
you gave all my presents back
I wish you knew
how much you were loved
we should sit by the riverside

Down That Road

I been down that road
I been bought and sold
I know some things about
the endless quest for more
still weary from the battle
to release the pain
I been down that road
But let me explain
I need a bottle and a cigarette
Keep the bartender near
You think I lost my mind?
I think I lost it here..

Is It True
07:54

|
Is it true
Is it true what they been talkin about
Is it true
Is it true you been steppin' out
If it's been true that you been playin' me
Then all is lost without a doubt
still got the guitar..
Is it true
Is it true you been playin games
Is it true
that your love is a cryin' shame
If it's been true that I drove you to cheatin'
then there's no one left to blame

I Should Have Known

I shoulda known
it was never gonna fly
I shoulda known
cuz we was home and gettin' high
I shoulda listened to what you told me
that we were lucky to be gettin' by
I shoulda known
what they were all about
I shoulda known
that they would all sell us out
I shoulda listened to what you told me
that they were gonna hang us out to dry
I shoulda known
that they was all on the take
I shoulda known
but I was wrong for goodness sake
I shoulda run when I seen them comin'
I shoulda stopped when I seen them runnin'
I shoulda ducked when I seen them gunnin'
but my mouth got in the way

I bring a message
From the universe
It's gonna get better cuz it
can't get worse
Been so long since I've seen the sun
Another long night in the Saxon Pub
Hutch my brother what have you done
Another long night in the Saxon Pub
I chase that money
I track those cars
It's just amazing I ain't
living behind bars
Been so long since I've seen the sun
Extreme Heat playin in the Saxon Pub
Hutch my brother what have you done
Another long night in the Saxon Pub
I run their sound
Into the ground
We smoked 'em all there darlin'
by the pound
Hutch my brother what have you done
Another long night in the Saxon Pub

we could use a late night out
of dancin, jokin and gettin' loose
yes we could use a late night out
of laughin hard and gettin juiced
don't care if the people stare
we shake it off like we don't care
yes, come on mama
there's no cover charge tonight
yes, come on mama
cuz we both gonna feel alright
don't care if the neighbors stare
we shake it off like we don't care
yes we could all use a break
cuz Lord knows, we been workin hard
grab us some cold ones for goodness sake
and we'll put it all on the credit card
don't care if the neighbors stare
we shake it off like we don't care

I got love
I got friends
I got music
and not much else
but at least my truck
still has some gas
and if you need me to
I will find you
wherever you do wind up
because at least my truck
still has some gas
and if you want me to
I will drive you
wherever you want to go
because at least my truck
still has some gas
I got love
I got friends
and I don't worry
bout what I got
but at least my beat up truck
still has some gas
and if you want me to
I will drive you
wherever you want to go
because at least my pickup truck
still has some gas
