Used to Party
I remember keys in bathroom stalls
Man how we all had a ball
But now we all get high just to get by
I could be living in a building with the son of sam
On too many drugs to ever give a damn
Lord I think I’m flying
lord I’m really flying tonight
I remember when we used to party
Now we just do drugs
Is this the way it goes
Or is this just the life I chose
Me getting high while life’s a series of lows
I could be lying in my bed you know I just can’t sleep
Every breathe I take I start to grind my teeth lord I think I’m dying
Lord I’m really dying tonight
I remember when we used to party
Now we just do drugs

Some Nights
I buried them deep
The secrets that I keep
For so long
I feel the pressure build inside of me
I’ve walked the line
Yeah Ive stumbled a few times
Now there’s no net
So like the Great Luchini I do my tight rope act
You can’t fail if you’ve never tried
Oh but those ain’t words to live by
You try and tell yourself that you’re doin alright
But those lies will haunt you in the night
Some night are harder than others
Some nights are tough
I feed the demons
I know I keep them strong
And they want it all
They see through the smiles that I hide them in
I feel em’ clawing
Yeah they’re clawing thought the cracks
They want me back
And I wanna go cause that’s where the party is
If you knew then what you know now
You’d probably still fuck it up some how
There would still be nights when too much just ain’t enough
But those nights will leave you in the dust
Some nights are harder than others
Some nights are tough

Day Drinks
From the moment they walked in
You could tell that they’d been arguing
You could see it on her face as they walked through the door
No it didn’t take long
For her to catch on
The evidence was there he’d been out all day
You’re going down
Now he’s pleading his case
To the court of public opinion
Or any one in the bar that’ll listen
If his animated arguments
We’re recorded under oath
He probably wouldn’t
Talk so loud
Yeah you’re going down
The line you walk get's narrower by day
I hope your feet are headed straight
The later you call, the harder you'll fall
don't bother goin' home at all
It’s finally time for closing arguments
You keep repeating your story to the jury
But I don’t think you’re gunna change their minds
Prosecution can’t rest
Cause neither has the defense
He’s been out all night getting high!
Yeah you’re going down
The line you walk get's narrower by day
I hope your feet are headed straight
The later you call, the harder you'll fall
don't bother goin' home at all

SNAKEBITE
Tell me,
about the look in her eyes.
Did her lips taste like honey?
Did that snake really bite?
I see you,
what are you running for?
Got the hound at your heels baby,
And I'm at your door.
But all things aside
It burns like the forest and the pine
You told me
time and time before
I've got nothing to say baby,
I've got nothing more.
It's nothing,
Nothin' like the start
You've got hate in your eyes baby
and pain in your heart
But all things aside
It burns like the forest and the pine

Grandma
Though her eyesight is clouded,
her joints they are weakened She's Standing.
Her memory so vast,
Her wit is so sharp it still stings.
Day's long ago when lovers pined over her beauty
the memory brings a smile to her weathered face
Through the gray skies, there's a clearing
She's see's them, through the clouds.
She's hears them, a chorus of angels.
Waiting to take her for a ride
Recollections of youth,
years of adventure, her stories.
pulling the strings and remnants of memories passes.
When she lays downs to rest, she knows that her dying day is coming.
And she asks the good lord to please make this night her last.
Through the gray skies, there's a clearing
She's see's them, through the clouds.
She's hears them, a chorus of angels.
Waiting to take her for a ride
Though her heart's a bit weary
she knows that she's sinned and she's sorry
Vessel's about to depart navigate the rough passage from hell
Her heart's a bit weary she knows that she's sinned and she's sorry.
Vessel's about to depart navigate the rough passage to heaven.
Through the gray skies, there's a clearing
She's see's them, through the clouds.
She's hears them, a chorus of angels.
Waiting to take her for a ride

ONCE OR TWICE
Wakin' up mornins in the midwest
in our old red brick bungalow
shouting down the backyard to the neighbors
our old little music row
You always said you'd never ask that much of me
I guess you might've mentioned that once or twice
You always said you'd never ask that much of me
but I guess that much is just too much to sacrifice
Grill is hot, and beer ball's in the alley
the radio is playing loud
there's no place that I would rather be
than in the yard my friends around
You always said you'd never ask that much of me
I guess you might've mentioned that once or twice
You always said you'd never ask that much of me
but I guess that much is just too much to sacrifice
How Could I leave my midwest livin'
the only life I'd ever known
I'd rather you go off be livin' pretty
I'll be fine back here alone
You always said you'd never ask that much of me
I guess you might've mentioned that once or twice
You always said you'd never ask that much of me
but I guess that much is just too much to sacrifice

Life and Times
I was born in the fifties
Went to war in the sixties
Got home in the seventies
And you know I did my time
This is the life and times
When I got home I went straight to the bar
And you know I ain’t ever left since
I’ve seen many a good woman come and go
Let em slip right through my busted fingertips
Here I am again
Holding court with all my friends
Another joke and another drink
Don’t give a damn about what you think
Cause I was born in the fifties....
I’ve seen a lot here over these past thirty years I was here the day that my son was born
I brought his mother down to this bar
and this bar is the reason that she’s gone
One more for the ditch
My left eye says it’s time to split
Say goodbye and shake some hands
Be back tomorrow and I’ll do it again

I Wanna Go Home
I wanna go home
I won't complain about the freezing rain
I wanna go home
I'll ride to work on a blue line try
I wanna go home
watch the Bears play a losin' game
I wanna go home
While my home still knows my name
I tell myself I think I can,
But here I am alone again
An angry Bitter ghost
I tell myself I think I can
But here I am alone again
An angry bitter ghost.
I feel like I'm dyin'
I ain't tickin' it's the time that drives
But every now and then I catch a little wind of somethin' that'll let me breathe
Oh baby let me breat
Every now And then I catch a breath and I can finally breathe
I wanna go home
I won't complain about the freezing rain
I wanna go home
I'll ride to work on a blue line try
I wanna go home
watch the Bears play a losin' game
I wanna go home
While my home still knows my name
I tell myself I think I can
But here I am alone again
An angry bitter Ghost
I know that I had everything
Left it all behind no more songs to sing
Why'd I ever let it go

Party Friends
We probably over stayed our welcome
Shoulda left when they started to yell last call
But we went down the street to the next bar
Night cap at any place
Laughing hard cause you’re glue in the face
Sun’s coming up I guess it’s time to go home
What do I do with my party friends
Oh when the party ends
Whadoido with my party friends when the party ends
As a kid I played in the yard
As a man I played in the bars
Sometimes I think that bar played me
Drinking beer and shooting darts
Getting drunk, breaking hearts
I guess last call had to stick some time
Now when the sun shines bright
I know that life is gunna be alright
I’ve got regrets, yeah I got a few
But I’m still having fun
Party ain’t over you know you know
You know it’s just begun
I’ve got regrets but none of them are new
What do I do with my party friends
Oh when the party ends
Whadoido with my party friends when the party ends
For me and my party friends
Oh the party it never ends
The party might change
But the party never ends

All In
Got a bit of a late start
We can blame it on this old guitar
Or the empty bottles of booze
And the late nights down at the bar
Never thought I’d make it this far
Make it up as I go along
I never had a plan
I was always the man...
Who never went all in on anything
It’s always one foot in one foot out
When you do that you miss out on everything
Now I wanna go all in
All in on you
We been through hell and back
Broken hearts baby that’s a fact
Well I never could say that I was wrong
But I was wrong baby all along
Your smile makes me smile too
I don’t know how I could forget about you
Thank god you remembered me
And always saw the man that I could be
