Spent all morning out in Franklin They were fixing my car, I was thinking of you You weren’t ready, I bent over backwards Busted my knees, what else could I do? CHORUS: Spend a lot of time loving all kinds of people But all kinds of people won’t care for your heart I love you like you love the ocean, and that’s where you’re going And it’s ripped me apart This house has spirits, I always knew it That sale sign doesn’t fool me at all Remember listening to Lonnie Johnson? I told you you’d love it, our names on the wall CHORUS That corner house, I don’t drive by it When I go to the grocery, I take the back way I miss you fresh off the boat Eyes big as whole notes with so much to say CHORUS
2.
I wanted to call you the night David Bowie died But I just sat in my room and cried I wanted to be perfect for you, everything you wanted me to Believe me baby, I tried I wanted to move back to California Have a baby with ya, I know you aren’t up for that I’m sorry I was such a bitch that night in the city Baby, I want ya back CHORUS: Cuz I, I realize what I screwed up I love you baby, what we had it was good enough I see you got your place all cleaned up now Must be nice to have me out, I know you’re finding hairs on the mattress and stuff I left a few things over there, maybe I could keep them there I’m sorry it got rough CHORUS

Trinity Lane 03:53
I get bored so I wanna get drunk I know how that goes So I ain’t gonna touch it I get bored and wanna find someone I know how that goes So I ain’t gonna rush it CHORUS: Gonna hang on a little bit longer Sleep well, work a little harder Put my faith in something I can’t see Crack a window when it rains This is living off of Trinity Lane It’s working alright for me Well, you’re right down the road from here I wanna come and see ya But it really doesn’t matter Sarah’s downstairs and she’s singing I smell garlic cooking I think this is better CHORUS I get bored so I wanna get drunk I know how that goes So I ain’t gonna touch it I think my neighbors are selling drugs I know how that goes I ain’t judging nothing CHORUS
4.
Word on the street You got yourself a new girl I would’ve given anything To light up your world “You women go crazy” That’s what you fuckers say For loving someone the right way Let me tell ya something I’ve had it up to here with that CHORUS: Cuz I gave you everything, everything that I had I gave you everything, everything that I had I’m the one getting angry So the night’s on my back But you’re saying nothing at all So cut me some slack I spent all those nights feeling so guilty For letting you near the ugliest parts of me I think it’s time I stop feeling stupid for that CHORUS I thought you called cuz you wanted to see me You were just calling because I was easy You know that I love you, how dare you do something like that CHORUS
5.
Stoned to the bone, Denver, CO My friend tried to show me her wedding video I knew what I was doing was bad for me I couldn’t be the kind of person that I wanted to be CHORUS: I studied the crooks, I studied the kings Studied the lines on the butterfly wings Ooo baby, I wanna go home Ooo baby, where’s my home? I’ve been thinking about you a lot out here The sun sets and you’re everywhere I had a dream last night you were married to me I woke up and I missed my family CHORUS March 13th, Memphis, TN Ain’t you starting to wonder ‘bout me? I hit the bridge right after the Arkansas flood Wondering where the hell I was I miss the Natchez Trace and being a kid And all that stupid shit we did You know they used to call it “The Devil’s Backbone?” Ooo baby, I wanna go home CHORUS
6.
Imposter 04:21
He said, “I feel like an imposter Took me ‘til 62 to realize I’m good at what I do” There are things that I’ve been hiding from Things that I’ve been looking for 1984 listening to Born To Run Honey, that’s what I did I’m not the only one The memory of her skin And she’s holding you again CHORUS: I could try to make it better I could pray it won’t get worse I could wish you would forget her I could hope you’d break this curse After what we both went through I count on you, I count on you You caught me quite off guard It was 100 degrees I was cleaning up the bar You were watching me 30 something years I have been waiting right here I wonder if we’d like each other You know how I get so mad Is that the same red temper that she had? There’s shame and there’s hard luck She gave me some tough girl stuff CHORUS I know you spent all those years out on your tour bus Never took a lot of time to stop and think about what would’ve happened to us When my auntie took me home, loved me like I was her own And you came back, of course you did I say, “You are no imposter You’re the real thing It’s a guiding light when I hear you sing” She’s never coming back I think we both know that I count on you I count on you I count on you
7.
Records 03:13
I’m 32, I feel 23 Got no husband next to me I just wanna rock’n’roll Scream out my lungs and burn real slow CHORUS: I’ll take lonely if it means free It’s never how you thought it’d be But that record waited up for me That record waited up for me Six years ago, hope was nothing much Waking up to a stranger’s touch I gave up vodka, I chilled out on weed That record still hung on to me CHORUS Looking out a window pane Wondering why I still feel the same I put the needle down, hey Mr. Young You know our work is never done I saw that boy I loved so hard He passed me in his beat up car Desire doesn’t know it’s wrong So I came home and put the record on I heard the backbeat I sank into the groove And suddenly I wasn’t worried about you I turned it up so loud That it buzzed my ears And that’s ok cuz I’m the only one here CHORUS
8.
I had a plan to make me look tough You’d call and I wouldn’t pick up But I saw your name and I jumped out of bed I was yours from the moment we met We’d both been keeping our space But someone broke into your place I came to the bank while you changed your accounts It was enough just to help calm you down CHORUS: My friends say, “Stay away” They know I obsess No one’s really been at their best But this is different, I just love you more than anyone I ever have, I guess I’ve prayed for something to give How can this heartache still live? I’m not trying to whine, I’m just fucking spent I don’t think you’ll ever know how deep that I went I say that, but maybe you do Your eyes are a lonelier blue You don’t talk about it or cry out my name But maybe you feel the same CHORUS I’m no victim, you’re one of a kind There’s more to our hearts than lost time I don’t have to have you to know what this is But I’ll never forget our first kiss I wanted to leave here with you But you do what you gotta do And if it’s not in Newport, I’ll be right here Love doesn’t disappear CHORUS I had a plan to make me look tough
9.
Rotterdam 04:28
Rotterdam to Richmond trying to kick this shit 4,000 miles, I wasn’t rid of it Heaven’s only waiting when you wear that crown Who’s gonna be there when you burn it down? CHORUS: I wanna be here I wanna be cool That’s what you’d do You keep your cool My head starts spinning when there’s some big plan I like to let it roll my man She’s getting high as an angel now We’re down here trying to hammer it out CHORUS I can’t sleep in this hotel room There’s too many things I wanna tell you 15 years in outer space I’ll never understand this place Wishing worry was a sunny day No one ever makes you stay CHORUS
10.
Sucker 04:15
Baby’s drifting, he ain’t got a father He’s not the same as when he got her And you think you got ahead, you think you found a secret Tell me instead, how the hell you gonna keep it? It’s not the same as when you’re in it Ain’t it a shame when you just wanna win it? When you look at me like that, you know I’m a sucker I bet you didn’t know we’d go down in the gutter I never did set out to be a liar Trying to keep it together while my heart was on fire I hear you’re heading back to the West Coast I bet you’re surfing and eating burritos There was countryside I wanted to show you The farm I grew up on, the shit that we went through
11.
I miss my old GMC Now she’s riding high in that dry city Sold it to a dark-eyed man Left with $800 in my hand There are places you have no idea that I have been Like that time my little angel got on heroin And I thought my throat was closing every time I tried to sleep There’s just so much you don’t know about me I ask you questions about where you’re from Where you were when you first got drunk What was the name of your first girlfriend? Goddamnit, don’t you wonder where the hell I’ve been? I could dance in circles, bring out old photographs Of that time I was in Denver drinking cherry schnapps You are always acting as if it’s all on my sleeve But there’s so much you don’t know about me My favorite record is Purple Rain It came out the same year that I got my name Your mother loved driving to the B-52s Why am I always asking about you? I’m not trying to be needy, I’m not trying to kiss and tell Shouldn’t worry about painting up a pretty picture of myself Well, who doesn’t love a little mystery? I just want you to want to know about me
12.
See Ya Later 03:24
Oh, you think you’ve got it? You know everything about it What I do and what I say and what I dream But the second I am hungry Tapping on your window Asking for my lover, there’s nothing CHORUS: Now I’m kicking at the concrete Wishing you would get me But that thinking never got me very far So I’ll do us both a favor I’ll catch up with ya later It’s better if I don’t know where ya are Now I’ve been under water Watching it all happen Tried to count the stars but they just blurred In Tulsa, Oklahoma I tried to take the spotlight Hung my head and wished I was a bird CHORUS The more I tried to own it The more your heart went roaming Hoping it would be more than a scar So I’ll do us both a favor I’ll catch up with ya later It’s better if I don’t know where ya are
