My great granddaddy met his mate out on a cotton farm She spit tobacco and was damn mean They eloped somewhere in the heart of Dixie Couldn't afford no wedding, why cause a scene Granddaddy was born, between a rock, and a hard place Between the Georgia clay and the Mississippi mud Had a little bit of that cotton picking in his hands And a little bit of rambling in his blood grandaddy met my nana on a greyhound bus somewhere between estill (??) and the ATL said you were the prettiest thing I’ve seen on two legs. that sealed the deal in love they fell My daddy was born, between a rock, and a hard place Between the Georgia clay and the Mississippi mud Had a little bit of that cotton picking in his hands And a little bit of white lightnin in his blood Momma was a flower child from the Buckeye State. Daddy drove big rigs across this land Said momma what cha say I get you out of Ohio Couple months later, he took her hand I was born, between a rock, and a hard place Between the Georgia clay and the Mississippi mud Had a little bit of that cotton picking in his hands And a little bit of diesel in my blood Three generations of hard working in my hands And hell of a lot of hard living in my blood

I cleaned out the change jar and all the big silver Feeling a bit like an indian giver B-24 maybe A-11 One coin at a time I'm going to heaven (?) A tear drop did fall, I died some inside Am I seeing things right, should I check my eyes The sawdust is down on the empty floor And the jukebox it doesn’t take quarters no more What is this fresh hell that I’m living in Is it punishment I know that I've sinned I am not sure that I want to live in a world With a jukebox that don’t take quarters no more I complained to the barkeep, but she shut me down Said she might listen if I bought a round Shuffled out the door my foolish pride And a pocket full of change, at least I tried What is this fresh hell that I’m living in Is it punishment I know that I've sinned I am not sure that I want to live in a world With a jukebox that don’t take quarters no more Next week I might be eating chicken liver I melted down all the big silver Forty five caliber and quarter weight slugs Hopped in my pickup and took a pull from the jug I filled the jukebox full of quarters last night Three dollars worth, I reloaded last night Listen up all you women and men The jukebox just started taking quarters again What is this fresh hell that I’m living in Is it punishment I know that I've sinned I am not sure that I want to live in a world With a jukebox that don’t take quarters no more With a jukebox that don’t take quarters no more

I can’t remember time moving so fast Trying so hard to come in first hoping I am not last Its a roller coaster, its a tidal wave Got so much left to do But numbered are the days Wish you could see me, acting everything but cool Wish you could see me, pretending I’m cool Take one step forward Two steps back If this here life was a dance floor There'd be nothing wrong with that The radiator's leaking, but the people showed up Yeah the wheels they rolling from now The next 1000 miles will be tough Wish you could see me, pulling it through Wish you could see me, wish I could see you Her face is gleaming in the back porch light The way it did beneath neon when we met that night Got a show tomorrow Got her today Got everything a man could want The bills are mostly paid Wish you could see me on nights like tonight Wish you could see me, Momma I’m doing alright Wish you could see me on nights like tonight Wish you could seem , Momma I’m doing alright Wish you could see me

Dreamer 04:07
Its the good times that tear me apart Waking up alone in the dark Memories of you still on my brain Smiling through my dreams like nothings changed I say I’m not jaded but I am That's why nothing new ever began I can't hate you its true But I can hate me for loving you Was so long ago, but feels so real Why can’t i change the way i feel I might erase you if I could Wonder if the bad is worth the good My heart was all I had to give Without it how am I gonna to live When you went away the days got long Though I could feel the Fall coming on Like a desert salt water spring Pleasant but deadly is this thing Don’t know how much more i can bare I can almost smell your hair At least in my dreams I can smile Even if only for a while Whiskey numbs the pain or so they say Guess I'm a walking talking cliche I’m not a dweller on the past Its proven to be a heavy task I can choose every word i write But I can’t choose what happens in life

Come on and lead me into temptation Evil is all that i know Come on and lead me to temptation now Evil is all that I know Well she left me in the darkness I never found my way And then she found me in the darkness son And just lead me further astray Well she may be may be the devil How is a poor boy to know Even if she is the devil son I will follow her wherever I go Come on and lead me into temptation Evil is all that i know Come on and lead me to temptation now Evil is all that I know Come on and pass me Pass me that bottle Don’t you know that it tastes so fare When it touches up to my lips There ain’t nothing like it nowhere Come on and lead me into temptation Evil is all that i know Come on and lead me to temptation now Evil is all that I know You can whisper, or you can shout it Sing it with that silver tongue Its a melody as old as music is now It has been around since time begun Come on and lead me into temptation Evil is all that i know Come on and lead me to temptation now Evil is all that I know Come on and lead me into temptation Evil is all that i know Come on and lead me to temptation now Evil is all that I know
