Faster

My mama never taught me to act this way. She reminds me every single day.
“Are you leaving those kids with me again, while you run around with you loser friends.”
But I never meant to do them any harm. I’m so restless I can’t stand it.
And I never got to leave this town. I’ve just been around it faster.
Over here at the edge of the bar, I forget i’m not a movie star.
Dim the lights a little more. Spin me ‘round the dance floor.
But I never meant to do them any harm. I’m so restless I can’t stand it.
And I never got to leave this town. I’ve just been around it faster.
When I get home they’re long asleep. Into the darkened room I creep.
Lord tie their knots of angel hair. Tight enough to keep me here.
But I never meant to do them any harm. I’m so restless I can’t stand it.
And I never got to leave this town. I’ve just been around it faster.
I’ve just been around it faster.
I’ve just been around it faster.

Let It Out

With my bible in my satchel
I left the safety of my chapel
To see the boy beneath the shroud
Riding through the barren fields
The red eyed ravens stare at me
And the night has no end
In the room where I found him
His family was all around him
Clutching crosses to their chests
And they cried “Let it out!”
And he cried “Get it out!”
What does he belong to
What has he become, clinging on to
The boy beneath the shroud
Memory of him is in his eyes
As they turn black as coal
No whites to show
Like a night without end
And they cried “Let it out!”
And he cried “Get it out!”

Tin Cup

I’m a tin cup.
You’re a cold stream.
Oh dip me gently.
And if I hold you, I bet you’ll be sweet.
I’ll break your thin ice.
Won’t even think twice.
Get you flowing easy.
And you can thank me as we float down stream.
Do you ever long to be a mad fool?
Are you always so straight?
Stick with me and we’ll stir up some trouble.
Stay up much too late.
You can tie me up with string and fly me
Up into the night sky.
And I will yell down how it looks from up there.
Planets spinning, full moon’s grinning
And with the slightest tug you’re here.
You can say goodbye now to gravity.
Did you ever lose yourself in dancing?
Did you ever shake those narrow hips?
Stick with me and we’ll find a new rhythm
Maybe start the next dance craze.
I’m a tin cup.
You’re a cold stream.
Oh dip me gently.
And if I hold you, I bet you’ll be sweet.

Caged Hummingbird

Chances fall like faceless dice in so many empty glasses
For those who sink in ballroom corners, missing all the dances
You are just a memory that is hung upon my heart
And it’s heavy, ain’t it heavy
I am a caged hummingbird, who could fly between the bars
But with such small wings freedom stings, it only leaves me cold
You are just a memory that is hung upon my heart
And it’s heavy, ain’t it heavy
You’ve take all my moonlit nights and sent them down the river
In a bottle with my heart in time we’ll be delivered
You are just a memory that is hung upon my heart
And it’s heavy, ain’t it heavy
