Down The Barrel 04:08

Down the Barrel Today I thought about dying for the first time in my life It’s hard to know just where to draw the line As I look into the mirror, I know the end is here to stay But I just couldn’t do it, so I put the gun away But there’s a bullet in my Daddy’s hunting gun He always told me, there’s a name on everyone I screw my eyes up till I’m blind, guess I knew there’d come a time When the bullet with m name comes down the barrel When the bullet with my name comes down the barrel It’s been six years and a day since you left me The days I’ve counted, two thousand, one hundred ninety three My fist, it finds the mirror, the blood courses out my veins Though I fall to the floor, I will waken once again\ But there’s a bullet in my Daddy’s hunting gun He always told me, there’s a name on everyone I screw my eyes up till I’m blind, guess I knew there’d come a time When the bullet with m name comes down the barrel When the bullet with my name comes down the barrel Pull the trigger, let it fly You know I ain’t a-scared to die If it only means I’ll be in her arms again Until that day the hurt and pain remains Looks like the bullet in the barrel had my name

I’m giving up giving up Ain’t gonna lose again Been low too many times My life’s about to change I’m gonna keep trying hard T o get back on the track Change my style for the better And never look back I’m heading towards the light Out of the shadows I’ve been in all my life Ain’t gonna run away Had enough of that I’m giving up giving up I just hope that it lasts I’m crying no more tears Gonna lose that frown I’ll walk tall and straight Never looking down I’m gonna see the world Through clear unhindered eyes I’m giving up giving up A in’t telling no more lies To justify my case I’m gonna paint these words all over the place I’m giving up giving up It’s easy to say I’m giving up giving up There is no other way I’m giving up giving up Gonna change my ways I’m giving up giving up Here come better days

Time Will Tell 04:26
lyrics
buy track
Sitting, Waiting Watching myself Looking at the other folk through the glass Wanting, Longing Dying to touch Just a small piece of something that they hope will last Time will tell, Wait and see My reflection sure don't look like me Don't feel as old as I seem to be It's just distorting my reality Rhyming, Picking Been playing all day This buzzing in my head just won't go away Writing,Stupid words Don't make any sense Get a real job need to pay the rent Time will tell,Wait and see That fella in the mirror why's he staring at me Sure looks familiar and he moves just like me He's just distorting my reality Trying, Much harder To get over the wall Hold on tight too scared to fall Lying,Deceiving Myself all along Think that's the reason I wrote this song Time will tell, Soon we'll see All things must pass so the guru said Time will tell, For you and me There's no beginning can't be no end Time will tell, Wait and see Look in the crystal ball What do you see?

Scent Of Rosemary 04:54
lyrics
buy track
I can remember her hands trembling Shaking with suffering and hurting inside The bag she brought me contained only memories Scent of Rosemary and Lavender Oils T Shirts and toothpaste Cassettes and a shoelace Strange little bottle to cure all my ills No more French Kisses in front of the fireplace No more funny vodka or high telephone bills I can remember Looking over her shoulder Scent of Rosemary The broken nightmare of sleeping solitaire Overseas working no more Promises were made, only kept one end Apart for three days Then forever more I can remember Looking over her shoulder Scent of Rosemary Vodka like bad wine Went down the wrong line Scent of Rosemary That memories end Trembling and shaking T he deal she was breaking I Sent Rosemary Out of my life

Hittin' the Dirt 03:52
lyrics

She came ridin'into town on the back of a Harley Dressed in leather, looking so fine Parks the bike by the police station Got a speeding ticket, gonna pay the fine He came flying into town on a seven-forty-seven Four hours late, ain’t feeling so fine Picks up his truck at the terminal building Got his foot on the gas, he’s got to be there on time They’re just heading out the same way Travelling fast, no baggage in tow Looking for some action, got no distraction Hittin’ the dirt Hittin’ the red dirt Hittin’ the dirt, Hittin’ those wide open places They don’t drink in the usual places, where the common folk hang out If they see some familiar faces. They make for the door, and put their foot to the floor They’re just etc.......... Hittin’ the dirt etc...........
