I Ain't Afraid a Ya

I'll be watching the stars on the hillside by myself-
when the meteor shower rolls through our town.
I'll be draggin my heart through the market lookin to park it-
The mob is an unruly lot, fifty hearts to a parking spot.
I Ain't Afraid a Ya, I Ain't Afraid a Ya.
This lust is black I'm blind, keep me wishin' for fish on the line-
Gonna do what I do as I should, for the sake of my greater good.
I'll go draggin my love, through the sludge and the mud-
til I'm done and there's no one left to hang my heavy on.
I Ain't Afraid a Ya, I Ain't Afraid a Ya.
I'll be watching from afar, on the high ground by myself,
ain't no sign of my little town, only river for miles around.
So I go, row the brink, then I swim and not think of my sinkin'-
all my life I've been near it and now that's it's here ain't no need to fear it-
I Ain't Afraid a Ya, I Ain't Afraid a Ya.

Jeannie can I get a witness? Violent crime is on the rise.
Jeannie girl, you don't wanna miss this-
It's a lifetime a cryin' all in preparation for dyin'.
Jeannie come lately? Love's on the long decline.
Jeannie girl baby don't hate me-
just because you see my face every time you close your eyes.
Keenest eye you'll ever see.
Take you where you've never been.
She gonna take you where you know you shouldn't be.
Jeannie can I get a witness? Love's on the long decline.
Jeannie girl love is not a business-
It's a lifetime a cryin' all in preparation for dyin-
Greenest eyes you've ever seen.
Take you where you've never been.
She gonna take where you know you shouldn't be.
Jeannie can I get a witness?
Love is not a business.

Gettin' on and off of the bus and the wheels go 'round and they take me out of town again, tryna stay one step ahead of my pain.
Gettin' in and out of the scene it's the place to be but it's done nothin' for me lately, tryna stay a full day ahead of the rain.
I'm a solitary sonne of a gun people think I'm on the run and that I've given up on love-
But I. I don't cry anymore when you cross my mind.
Perhaps I should've given up on you a long time ago.
And I. I don't lie awake at night.
Oh I could be your shadow and you could be the star of the show-
Isn't it Pretty to Think So.
Lovers come and lovers leave me low they claim my silver for their own and claim they own a heart of gold-
then leave me all alone when the trade winds are blowin' in.
You're perpetually on the mend-you project a false confidence.
If you're so brave why do you look so afraid, babe?
I'm a solitary sonne of a gun people think I'm on the run and that I've all but given up. on. love.
But I. I don't cry anymore when you cross my mind.
Perhaps I should've given up on you a long time ago.
And I. I don't lie awake at night.
Oh I could be your shadow and you could be the star of the show-
Isn't it Pretty to Think So.
Isn't it Pretty.

The Last Straw

Well it's a shame to say, but this will all be gone someday.
The trailer, the baler, the home on the range.
As soon as the well runs dry and all the wild horses die-
Yodel lay hee ho, Yodel lay hee hee eee.
There'll be no time to grieve when it's time for us to leave.
We don't need a reason 'cause we know how it feels-
to have given all that we was granted only to walk away empty handed-
Yodel lay hee ho, Yodel lay hee hee eee.
Still lies this town when the bar closes down.
The drunks start for home and kick stones down the road.
We did it up right tonight we had the time of our lives.
Yodel lay hee ho, Yodel lay hee hee eee.
Yodel lay hee ho, Yodel lay hee hee eee.

A Gunfighter's Lament
04:15

As the sonne sets in the old wild west at last my time has come.
But I will not lay down my guns cause either way I pay for what I done.
Some thought I could not be caught but the arm of the law is long-
and if they think they're gonna take me alive they're dead wrong.
Memories of my family meander through my mind.
They begged to stay so we might save the farm on the day that our daddy died.
But I went lookin' for easy money and fell in with the outlaw crowd-
ropin' and robbin' and ridin' and hidin' out.
I could go to my death with ten holes in my chest I could go to my grave like a brave.
I could follow the crow to the fork in the road where the grey gallows await.
I pray the Lord forgive my sins and heal the hurt that burns within-
The jury is out and the verdict is in-no need to notify my kit or kin, it's no use, back home no news is good news.
As the red sonne sets in the old wild west alas my time has come.
Heaven or hell well it's too early to tell either way I remain on the run.
The bitter taste of wasted years a waste of my dear mama's tears-
Used to be the end was near and now the end is clearly here.

Load Up on Love

You better load up on love sweet girl- one of these days she gonna run out.
And when push comes to shove you should take my word-
'Cause you can't come home if your daddy says you're not allowed to come around.
But the key's underneath the planter, gimme one more dance 'fore we're old and holding hands.
You make me see red. You make me die a slow death.
Lord only knows goes on inside your head, inside your head, inside your head.
You better load up on lovers cheatin' little woman-
One of these days a pretty face is gonna turn you down.
And when push comes to shove they gonna blow your cover-
go telling the town all about your white night gown.
But the key's underneath the welcome mat, are you sad 'cause you had a bad dream? I could sing you back to sleep.
You make me see red. You make me die a slow death.
Lord only knows goes on inside your head, inside your head, inside your head, inside you head, inside your head.

The Change

I finally feel like I know just where I wanna go I found the yellow brick road I'm gonna follow it home.
At last I'm starting to see where I wanna be, it's gotta be you indefinitely.
I know that it may sound strange, but I'm willin' to make the change.
Oh I'm ready to take back the reigns, you open the gate here's hopin' I'm in the race. Lord knows I gotta lotta ground to gain.
One day it occurred to me that being part of the scene was just like fallin' asleep and wakin' up in a dream.
So I sold everything 'cept for my soul and these here strings so I could sing to you and one day give a ring to you.
I know that it may sound strange (I know it may sound strange)
I'm no longer afraid of the change (I'm not afraid of the change)
We could grow old inside a whole new arrangement-
We're nobody's fools we wrote the rules of engagement.
And I'll be the last man standin' guard over your heart.
I'll be the first in line to give you life if it meant my dyin'.
I'd go to war for more of your love-
I live and die by the sword love-
What's mine is yours is worth my fighting for.
What's mine is yours is worth my fighting for.
What's mine is yours is worth my fighting for.
