Thumbing
A California dollar’s worth a Mississippi dime to me
I’d rather feel the mud in my veins than the sand beneath my feet
Thumbing My Way Back East
Thumbing My Way Back East
A Colorado nickel’s worth an old New England penny to me
Because back where I come from, a fucking mountain is green
Thumbing My Way Back East
Thumbing My Way Back East

Tennessee
When I was in Tennessee
I think I fell in love
With Nashville Music City, baby
I loved that push and shove
Like a down south Tin Pan Alley
Or Athens on the hill
When I got to Music City, baby
My heart stood still
The good lord blessed me with Tennessee
If you head West of Memphis
North of the Delta Blues
And if there’s any tread left on your Patent leather shoes
You’ll find yourself in Nashville Music City on the row
Just get ready son for your mind to blow
Don’t go acting cocky
Show a little class
‘Cause if you don’t you’ll find yourself with a stiff boot in the ass
And if you rest upon your laurels you’ll be resting in the dust
The melody, the harmony, and a little pinch of lust
The good lord blessed me with Tennessee
If you head West of Memphis
North of the Delta Blues
And if there’s any tread left on your Patent leather shoes
You’ll find yourself in Nashville Music City on the row
Just get ready son for your mind to blow

Hurts Like Hell
A pretty little lady holds the key to my heart
But she took it away
And she tore it apart
She gave a little grin when she took it away
Then she shook her little hips
In her typical way
Oh well, Hurts like Hell
Oh Well, Hurts like Hell
Ooh

Never
I never, never want to see eyes cry
Never want to see love die
No no no
And I never, never want to see you laugh
Just to watch the laughter fade away
I want to watch it grow
And I never, never want to bring you madness
Never want to bring you sadness
That I know
And I never, want to watch this home be broken
Never will those words be spoken
No, no, no
One thing is incredible, one thing is remarkable
And that thing is love
I never, never want to bring you pain
Never want to bring you rain
No, no no
And I only, only want to bring you love
No amount is ever enough
Love head to toe
One thing is incredible, one thing is remarkable
And that thing is love
I’m never, ever gonna see my friend
Never gonna see you again
No, no, no

Fire Escape
There’s got be some way out of this place
I feel the smoke start to burn my lungs
The image of your haunted face
Tortures me now I’ve got to run
The smoke is rising and there’s no where to go
Just another thing I should of known
How I am supposed to stay
When such memories exist here
Too much has come in our way
Just help me down the fire escape
My body and mind have betrayed me
I feel like I’m breathing in heavy smoke
Tears in eyes, I no longer see
I want to scream as I lose control
The smoke is rising and there’s no where to go
Just another thing I should of known
How I am supposed to stay
When such memories exist here
Too much has come in our way
Just help me down the fire escape
The smoke is rising and there’s no where to go
Just another thing I should of known
There’s got be some way out of this place
I feel the smoke start to burn my lungs
The image of your haunted face
Tortures me now I’ve got to run
How I am supposed to stay
When such memories exist here
Too much has come in our way
Just help me down the fire escape

LIFE
I gave to you all of my life
Gave it to you all of my life
Don’t want to be forgotten by the revolution
Just pick me up when you topple them down
Don’t need some petty piece of retribution
But I’m following a flag and I’m watching as they burn to the ground
When did we begin all of our lives?
Loose illusions made out of lies
Sick and tired of sorting out hallucinations
Just pick me up as they fall to the ground
After all life’s supposed to be a celebration
But I’m following a flag and I’m watching as they burn to the ground
I gave to you all of my life
Gave it to you all of my life
Don’t want to be forgotten by the revolution
Just pick me up when you topple them down
Don’t need some petty piece of retribution
But I’m following a flag and I’m watching as they burn to the ground
