Broke your heart to keep mine company And I thought you would speak no more of me I'm glad I was wrong, by the end of your song I was gone, gone, gone but I won't be for long I'll be gone, I'll be gone but I won't be for long It was a long time, a long time coming It was the wrong time but that don't mean nothing I laughed at your cigarettes and burned all your jokes But cuddling your knees is what I miss the most I said cuddling your knees is what I miss the most I've taken in vain all your beauty and pain Like lovers and radio sweethearts will do I'll keep busting windows and pissing on walls Til the day I forget all about you When your heart aches, at least you feel something When your neck breaks, I hope you feel nothing Come hold me and whisper a curse on my pride When a reason to love me is too hard to find When a reason to love me is too hard to find And it's dark now in this whiskey You're still singing and I'm getting misty I'm the last of a kind you won't see anymore Just another young cowboy in a gentleman's war Just another gunslinger in a gentleman's war I've taken in vain all your beauty and pain Like lovers and radio sweethearts will do I'll keep busting windows and pissing on walls Til the day I forget all about you

City city girl is such a pity No time to lick your wounds little kitty Your days are full of emptiness Burning bridges backward to the start Left it all hanging with my hat and my heart Mama bake a pie I'm coming home Please have no expectations Forgive me my transgression I need a little time with my friend You're gonna miss me so love me now I'm gonna leave you and I'll tell you how A six-string ticket on a midnight train Making money just doesn't pay I eat what I kill at the end of the day The sun goes down and I feel fine Please have no expectations Forgive me my transgression I need a little time with my friend I never carry more than I must To walk the roads of gravel and dust A man only needs a name and two good hands City city girl is such a pity No time to lick your wounds little kitty Your days are full of emptiness Please have no expectations Forgive me my transgression I need a little time with my friend

They say Jimmy Darby wrecked a train last night It was the Fort Jackson ten twenty-four No survivors were found, but there weren't many folks around Nobody rides that line anymore (praise the Lord) Nobody rides that line anymore I'm burning coal in the falling snow And there ain't no turning back now when I go Lord above, I send my love Wrecking trains on the only road I know They say Jimmy Darby took a drink last night Of some white-label Winn-Dixie shine He said "When I go, that whistle's gonna blow. They'll weep for me up and down the line (Lord, Lord) They'll weep for me up and down the line." I'm burning coal in the falling snow And there ain't no turning back now when I go Lord above, I send my love Wrecking trains on the only road I know They say Jimmy Darby wrote a letter last night It was a strange kind of suicide line He said "My body's bound for hell, so honey hear me well I'll take as many with me as I can (Lord, Lord) I'll take as many with me as I can." I'm burning coal in the falling snow And there ain't no turning back now when I go Lord above, I send my love Wrecking trains on the only road I know They say Jimmy Darby drowned his wife last night She was his beauty and his lover and his friend He said "I don't know if your crime only happened in my mind But we're all bound to answer in the end (little sister) We're all bound to answer in the end." I'm burning coal in the falling snow And there ain't no turning back now when I go Lord above, I send my love Wrecking trains on the only road I know

mercy mercy, bless my hide one more cowboy's gone and died hail of bullets, trophy kill buried on lonesome legend's hill when i make my final shout and my daylight's all run out i want a place i can feel the light and sleep by the sound of the road at night highway music, southbound train nothing grows on a roadside grave no more heartache, no more pain nothing grows on a roadside grave i met a man in a county cell drank his life right down the well poured out grief on the one he loved choked on rye and the taste of mud when he had no more to say i guess he passed away but i've none some when they've been bled ain't got the sense to fall down dead highway music, southbound train nothing grows on a roadside grave no more heartache, no more pain nothing grows on a roadside grave feet on fire and a worried mind long for things i left behind reckless words i can't control restless curse of a traveling soul on the day i jump the wall dig a hole right where i fall i'll see heaven if i get saved and rest my bones in a roadside grave highway music, southbound train nothing grows on a roadside grave no more heartache, no more pain nothing grows on a roadside grave

Justine 04:20
She's been crying again One touch away and she's round the bend No matter what I say She'll run home and she'll love him again In the corner of the place She's looking drowned in love and filling up on grace And all she wants from me tonight is a friendly hand Now we're kids in heat We all going drinking down Lincoln Street And we stay around to beg When the trail gets cold, Lord it gets cold Last round and drinks are free All the peaches rotten at the bottom of the tree It can drive you crazy And never bring you back I'm wishing once on whiskey Twice on a broken spell I don't trust my wounded heart To keep me out of hell I'm not dead but I ain't living You can find me in between By the light that shines on Carroll and Justine Well I woke up in hell It might have been Memphis, for all I could tell They let me come in out of the rain Where it was warm and they didn't ever close I'm not much for looking at Five-foot-nine in a tall black hat But when the light goes out I don't look too bad at all I'm wishing once on whiskey Twice on a broken spell I don't trust my wounded heart That's how I got to hell I'm not dead but I ain't living You can find me in between By the light that shines on Carroll and Justine

(The rain and the lightning been a comfort to me I walk in the dark to keep myself free) Any devil will cross you for a sweet piece of heaven It takes one to damn you but your heart can hold seven I keep my soul like an unwelcome guest A buck and a quarter would buy you the rest (The rain and the lightning been a comfort to me I walk in the dark and I keep myself free) Saint Jude and Belial go walking at night There's one needs killing but they look just alike Keep yourself loaded and you won't need to cry Take your hand off the trigger and kiss me goodbye (The rain and the lightning been a comfort to me I walk in the dark and I keep myself free)
