Hey Mama 03:04
Verse 1: She walked out the door I watched her drive away Now the hours and days tick by And I’m still standing still I watched the seasons change Waiting for a sign Pour my sorrow down the drain Try to walk a straight line Chorus: Hey Mama Hey Mama Gone too long Hey Mama Hey Mama Come back home Verse 2: Of all the hours in the day It feels like many more When the sun goes down I still feel the same I watched the seasons change Waiting for a sign Pour my sorrow down the drain Try to walk a straight line Chorus: Hey Mama Hey Mama Gone too long Hey Mama Hey Mama Come back home

Stand Alone 03:16
Verse 1: I’ve been torn up, I’ve been beaten down Had to run around, find a different town Said they found a gun, said they heard a sound On the street where I cut her down Pre-Chorus: And the rage is overcoming Fists clenched while the engine’s humming Blow past all the lives I’ve told To tell my story loud and bold Chorus: Searching to find my way back home I see the stars above Looking beside the burning fire Where the preacher stands alone Walk up the steps to the soaring flames While the glass is falling down Wait for the sign that it’s all over It’s all over now Verse 2: Always had my doubts, knew my luck’d run out Fighting for time and saving face Take the back roads home, find a place alone Imagine where my bones will finally be laid Pre-Chorus: And the rage is overcoming Fists clenched while the engine’s humming Blow past all the lives I’ve told To tell my story loud and bold Chorus: Searching to find my way back home I see the stars above Looking beside the burning fire Where the preacher stands alone Walk up the steps to the soaring flames While the glass is falling down Wait for the sign that it’s all over It’s all over now

Dirty Ways 03:10
Verse 1: She straight blew my mind She came from outer space Just a matter of time Till the girl will be mine She likes the dirty ways She stays out real late But when the boys go home She’s still all alone Verse 2: She found me outside Smoking Camel Lights It took one long stare To be in her crosshairs She stalks her prey Takes him where she lay Throws the dog a bone Then she sits on her throne Bridge: When the lights go off She burns down the men she’s loved Then ties one off To forget she’s ever lonely She’ll never trust herself again Till the morning comes So I’ll be waiting for you

Verse 1: On your mark, get set, she’s running Go ahead, and forget, she’s hanging on me Before the lines break through our minds Take a ride, through the vines, it’s funny Look alive, you’ll survive, it’s plain to see Everything is where it’s been Chorus: Heeeeyyyy She’s got your Heaaaadd Locked up in Paaaainn Ohhhh darlin’ I said Verse 2: It’s a fight, use your might, fly higher Don’t look back, it’s a trap, it’ll take you down You’ll never raise your head again Time is tight, it’ll bite, you’re older Long nights, sore fights, they get so cold Only one way left to find

Heart Attack 02:55
Verse 1: I made your favorite breakfast I made you feel loved Gave you all my time But you never got enough I hate to tell you darlin’ I hate to play this game But you’re the kinda girl Who never takes the blame, oh no I’m telling you so Verse 2: When you walk around, you act like you’re a queen You’re everybody’s girl and you need to make a scene I’m through with your vanity I’m over your disguise Maybe you see you’ve never been a prize Chorus: Cause it’s a heart attack, when you realize What you had Cause it’s a heart attack, when you realize What you had, what you had Verse 3: For all the years I stayed, I shoulda know why All the lonely nights, I sat and drank and cried I’m picking up the pieces I’ll write a new story And I’ll be singing your name all night
