Mountain That Eats Men

My Daddy came home everyday from there
With mud on his face and a coal blank stare
from that mine, down in that mine
He only did it cause his daddy would
make that same old trip through them same old woods
from that mine, down in that mine
He said son don't go down in that mine
I swore to my dad I'd never work down there
but here I stand breathing this foul air
from that mine, down in that mine
This mine it killed my grandpa it's dust killed my dad
I can't believe I'm still down here, It's like I'm already dead
From that mine, down in that mine
I lost my soul, I'm gonna die, down in that mine.

She's Out There
02:18

She don't like me when I'm drinking
She says I talk about dying to much
I guess I do but I get a little worried
She told me Jesus is all made up
She dyes her hair and she looks so pretty
She's got a smile that' ll light the day
Her life is a little shitty, so sometimes she's got a lot to say
Chorus
She's out there, just where she's supposed to be
flying high, sometimes too high to see
She'll come crashing and a crying and a needing somebody to hold her
I'll be there till the day I die to give her what she needs
I hope and pray almost every evening to any god that' ll listen to me
That she makes peace with all of his demons
and that she stops smokin' all of my weed
But in my heart I got this feeling, I think I even got it in my spleen
She'll get the urge for leaving and try to take a little bitty piece of me
Chorus

Ruby's Song
02:03
|
|||
|
We were sittin' in the kitchen
Candle shinin' through the brew
You leaned over and you told me
Honey, I still love you
Well, the fight we had this morning
We said some things that were not true
Now it's a different situation
Honey, I still love you too.
Chorus: Why do we get so agitated?
Why can't we always wear a smile?
Life isn't long enough for sadness,
Come here and hold me for awhile
I blame your drinkin' and your smokin'
and my obsessive need to clean
Sometimes we seem so very different
the other's fault we both agree
Put your beer cap in the garbage
Set the timer on the shower
We're heading over to the Crow's Nest
To be a Beardo for awhile
Chorus

Whiskey & Gin
02:55
|
|||
|
Sittin' here, all alone again
Got my whiskey, Got my gin
Wondering why I can't heed all the advise
People are killing me
I turn my eye as soon as they start telling me how I need to be
Walkin' down the street
Talkin' to myself
Questions have no answers, answers don't ring a bell
A worried mind there's too much stuff
I need to unwind I need to push in the clutch
There ain't much time for me to be
that sand is running through the hour glass that's me
Been downtown been all around
I just got back today
My woman she's gone when I got back
I think she's gone to stay
My soul it bleeds when they leave and then I drink about it
Then I feel ok

She got a new lamp today
And she looks at it the way she used to look at me
Poor me, but I still look at her the way I used to look at my old Chevrolet
There's a picture on the wall
That shows us in a pose the way we used to be carefree
But the picture in her mind I'm sad to say that it no longer includes me
It's a new day today, ain't nothin' left to say except that I am free
Free to do the lines and stay up late I know this can't be good for me
So I settled on back down got my feet back on the ground
but not the way they used to be
Just when I got life all figured out I start misplacing my car keys
Where the hell are my car keys,?
I'm late again, where the hell are my car keys?

My Ole Ramblin' Sole
02:13
|
|||
|
My ole ramblin' sole, my ole ramblin' sole
I don't want to be here anymore
I'm leaving here today up my mind is made
I'm leaving yeah I'm walking out that door
My ole ramblin'sole, my olde ramblin' sole
I don't mean to be unkind but I'm losing half my mind
and I don't want to stay in this town no more
Everything is feeling good, maybe better than it should
but when I get that urge for leaving then I'm out that door
Everybody feels this way
I know that's what they say
But they don't know what it looks like through my mind's door
Everything's a bit askew, bits and pieces of the blues
All my friends think I'm crazy when I leave this way
Chorus

Way Up There
02:19
|
|||
|
It's a cold ass winter day
The sun is out but it's dark inside my head
Last night's a mile away, I'm all alone but a part of me' s still there
Feels like the first grade
just a different color and a different style of hair
Their' s a blackness in this way
but it's safer than being way up there
Well my mind it goes this way when she leaves
and she don't seem to care
It's a weird old game we play we know it's bad but it keeps us in the air
Way up there

Do not deceive me oh my darling, if your intent is not to love me for awhile, do not fake a warm embrace or still my kisses,
my heart is true still holds it's youth...like a child
Love life goes round in circles and each circle looks the same
there's a broken hearted someone in this silly little game
We play the soul mate love game as if that makes it better
Our fates were sealed long ago in a forlorn lover's letter
Oooh, and then we cry, oh how we cry, oooh how we cry oh how we cry
I saw you smile at a stranger as she cut you in the line
That sympathetic geture is all I need to change my mind
And I'll hop back on this circle and I'll ride it through the pain
While lonely hours turn to minutes, lonely minutes turn to rain
Ooooh how I cry, Oh how I cry, oooh how I'm crying oh How I cry
You say there is a pretty little girl a following you around
As you honky tonk and hang around the late night music town
She clamped down upon our love like a pit bull in a fight
and now she's crowded in our circle holding on with all her might
Oooh now we're all crying, oh how we cry, ooh how she's crying, oh how we cry.
If you're gonnna leave me baby hold me over the water, let me down easy baby, hold me o'er the water, if you're goinna leave me baby hold me over the water...let me down easy baby hold me o'er the water
