Mr. Roberts had a daughter who wasn't much like him He knows how she was raised, the way she used to play, when did all the laughter end Mr. Roberts had a daughter who's somewhere in the city now She hasn't called years and it would appear She'll never come around Mr. Roberts had a daughters who wasn't much like him But that won't ever stop the hope at every knock That she might come home again

Alice said never be fretful When your dead one day I'll bet you'll Wish your life was all tied up Wasting time with nothing tried but Waking and sleeping no gumption No real stand hoping for something To help defend the soul killer He thought he had lived until her Charm waned as a booze projection Betrayed a lack of affection Boredom one day set to erupt Your old shoes a human tree stump Miss Mary Margret was devout Until she tripped up the beansprout Carried back down on a life raft Eight is double sixteen twice halved His memory appears abridged Filled with figures he's in love with Hurry to age cut his birthday Time is long and short the worst way Everyone born is a goner A babe cries when life's thrust on her You expect me to believe I have what it takes to be I have what it takes to be

Up the stairs, down the hall Sears portraits on pastal walls Lying down, wide awake Idle thoughts you can't escape I can understand why you fear you've been forgotten I can understand How you'd get sick of talking I can understand Why you thrash out when you're falling In the corner, set aside Painted murals, faded signs Hidding inside, created traps Watching as the hours pass I can understand why you fear you've been forgotten I can understand How you'd get sick of talking I can understand Why you thrash out when you're falling Everyday you know I can understand why you fear you've been forgotten I can understand How you'd get sick of talking I can understand Why you thrash out when you're falling

I Wanted Her 03:28
We met in a twilight haze She was kind and kind of strange I knew in a seconds time that i had to had to make her mine I wanted her cause she was new I wanted her just for the view I wanted her and I still do My last memory of her face Was my last memory for the day I walk the blocks around my house Trying to figure something out I wanted her cause she was new I wanted her just for the view I wanted her and I still do I know that I'll see her face around the corner to my place down at the market nearby where we meet tounge tied I know that I'll see you Waitings not for nothing When your head is humming I wanted her cause she was new I wanted her just for the view I wanted her and I still do

Oh this morning the sunlight came in through the crack in my blinds My clock read 8:30 I had nowhere I needed be So I stared at the ceiling taking in that morning feeling This afternoon I felt fine with a smoke and jar full of moonshine We sat there in the yard With time and a deck of cards Then later that evening she came by I tell you we had a real good time She's something aint she something She got my heart thumping That night under the covers She coaxed me into saying I love her I can't tell if I meant it But I ain't about to rescend it The next morning she woke up Asked me when I was going to grow up Cause if something is something she don't want be with a nothing

She's optimistic despite all the statistics She never felt this way before Mama said be safe, this may not be the place Even if right now you feel sure She don't listen to what Mama says, no Sick of condescension she makes the decision Only she controls herself Mama said be careful, not everyones successful I'll be here if you need help She don't listen to what Mama says, no

Runner 02:40
You hardly know me met me in motel Just off of route 64 On my way to sing some songs in Memphis A couple new licks played over the same old chords But if one day I settle in a groove It'll be years from now down in Xanadu I'm a runner Even if I'd like I can't be tied to you Tomorrow I'll be headed down highway And I reckon we won't meet again Done fret none its better this way surely I know you'll be sick me by then But if one day I settle in a groove It'll be years from now down in Xanadu I'm a runner Even if I'd like I can't be tied to you

How happy I would be with you here with me for all my life In the youngers days yes the time where no money is saved and we scrape and struggle to get by How happy I would be with you here with me for all my life As we settle down Find on a solid grownd to plant ourselves for a while Then on the days when the rain comes We'll stand together and wait for the sun I know I'll be smiling at you Everyday til forever's through How happy I would be with you here with me for all my life We grow older still the money has come to pay the bills And it seems as though we may have made a life

The Flood 02:30
The lady told me there's no reason to hang your head Why I believed her, I don't know The lady told me there's no reason to hang your head One day those clouds are gonna go The flood always dries up

Act of Mercy 03:54
It's a good day To get out of town So don't hang around Here anymore It's a good day To get out of town So don't hang around Here anymore It's an act of mercy To be let out alive Its an act of mercy By which you survive And I've never known Life to be so kind The outsider was accused With little evidence Of a crime I'm sure I know He did not commit The sheriff knows the truth The town was told a lie The judge bends the process To make the two align It's an act of mercy To be let out alive Its an act of mercy By which you survive And I've never known Life to be so kind I cannot blame the sheriff For holding with his kin But I can't let the outsider pay For my sins It's a good day To get out of town So don't hang around Here anymore It's a good day To get out of town So don't hang around Here anymore

Cut throat even in the best times Too sweet when she's at her worst Call her Ms. Manipulator Now that I'm free from the curse Empty threats You can run but I won't follow you Hopeless nasty little liar Free form insults and spit Tell me who you gonna blame kid Now that I hit the bricks Empty threats You can run but I won't follow you
