- A Good Living
There's this feeling that I've got to leave
Because the money is all out of reach
I'm leaving home and I can't tell you sorry
There's a lot of views
But this is what I'm going through
I'm leaving home because I can't make you nothing
Can you look around
For hope because I need it now
- A House Wife Love Song
Tend the tables, put your house guests away
Tend the tables for free and it's okay
Put your pockets in the drawers, sad and warm
Hey, I will be right here
Tend the tables, broom the rats out for me
Tend the tables for free and it's okay
Put your pockets in the drawers, sad and warm
- A Housewife Love Song
Tend the tables, put your houseguests away
Tend the tables for free and it's okay
Put your pockets in the drawers, sad and warm
Hey I will be right here
Tend the tables, broom the rats out for me
Tend the tables for free and it's okay
Put you pockets in the drawers, sad and warm
- All My Friends Who Play Guitar
So this is what you do for a name
You wanna waste your life in a country and fly around on a plane
I did the same, I drove in cars and flew around on planes
I never thought it'd go this far, I never thought that
We'd ever go far like all my friends who play guitar
We know who we are, we never go far like all my friends who play guitar

It was a genuine gesture
Because I'm not your master
I gotta live with these thoughts
'Cause you reap what you sow
- Harmony
time moves
you knew it would
you'd leave them all
after their plainer thoughts
you lose some
i knew you would
you'd leave them all
after their plainer thoughts
- I Drive A Lot
And if you mean it a lot I'm talking just to waste my day
I drive a lot, I drive a lot
Think of things I'd be with time to kill and just had lots of money
Time to kill and just had lots of money
When I'm all worked up I think of friends of mine now 35
And if you need it a lot I'm talking just to hear myself
- I Was 17
Sorry, I broke your heart
Left you with no stand
Don't you know I wish
I could take back the time?
17, I was 17
Sorry about our plans
Left you with no band
- I Win
When I try to erase or calculate
For a moment could you just decide
Which way to go, I need advice
I've been wrong it's just close quarters
They have a way to cloud your mind.
Is my lot in life to just resign?
Oh could you tell me
- IAMACEO
Drawn the line and this is where I won't step
It's black and white, at least I used to think so
Now I need to think so
Now I'm in the process looking what it costs us
Now I am the process, I am a CEO
There's a fork in the road, I'm not sure where it leads us
- Loved Ones
a big time
it's a long try
to leave all your loved ones
get on
go far
to leave all your loved ones
it's our love verse
- Messed Up Over You
Tell it long, so true, sweetly to me
So long, so blue, completely over you
But now and now, and now I'm messed up over you
Have the world for me, completely bind me
Time, you bind me, completely beat me
- Monterey
Lost on words for you
And I'd better make it soon
In a world for you
And the better one you are
And I'm turning off
To a place that you don't know
I'm turning off here
- Nice Guy
Somebody told me
There's occasion to rise
Somebody's driving me crazy
So if you're lonely
Well you better think twice
So many times your memory remembers these
- Night Music
There's a light on the corner, it says I'd wish you'd come in
Unless you've got a place to go
So through the lines on the left, I can't hear what you say
All I hear are the tom-tom drums
There's a drive by the lake where the fields get white
With the smell of the drum
Through the lights there's a calm that I wish you could see
But we've got to go-go-go
- One Shot Juanita
Times only wasted when you know like I know
The past times weren't the better times at all
Stop stabbing my heart, stop stabbing my heart
Stop stabbing my heart, stop stabbing my heart
She's coming right here from the start I know
Your past life, this better wife your own I know
- Play The C Chord
These friends of mine fill in the lines
To put in the songs you like, fill up your time
These friends of mine who write the lines
And put out the songs you like in half the time
Something's wrong if it's the old news
Just play the C chord like it's something
Something's wrong if it's the old news
- Slow
I was hoping the life we made
Would stay and never change
I was young, and you were young
And so we made our way
Bought the place on Abbey Lane
And leased the Cherokee
Played some shows and on the drives
- Softness, Goodness
Because you took a long retreat
I'm coming like a mean streak
For seven years of loss the lean
Are gonna take the big sweep
[chorus]
Death is the middle
Softness, goodness, keep in mind
- The Brightest Of The Head
IF I'D OBLIGE THE ODDS ARE I'D FIND
WHAT MAKES A MAN IS INSIDE, INSIDE
A CROOKED TONGUE MAKES FOR CROOKED SPEECH
GOD FORBID WHAT I THOUGHT, FORGIVE WHAT I THINK
I WAS THE FAIREST OF THEM ALL
I WAS THE BIGGEST OF THE SMALL
I WAS THE SHARPEST IN THE SHED
- The Contest Completed
For all the time we travelled, for all it meant to me
was built to last, the new endeavors
would you listen to me?
and don't look back on your trials
remember when it was good
in ninety-two, a different point of view
[pre-chorus]
- Unbelievers
I took the long long way to help you
I never took my eyes off the trail
I never say goodbye so I ask myself why
This is what I got in the mail
I took the long long way to stop you
I never thought that you'd really fail
We never said goodbye so I'm asking you why
- When I Learn To Sing
Because a machine could burn the life out of me
Not the same when I try, it's just a bad lullaby
When I learn to sing I'll change the key of everything
When I learn to read I'll change my ways on everything
On everything, on everything
You know the worries, just the things I sing about me
- When No One Calls
Still you can't win
But you paid and tried for love
So cool then why'd you bother?
Then why'd you stay?
These days are bad
So why'd you ask for the money from her
So cool then why'd you bother?
Then why'd you stay?
- When You Feel The Mess
When the worst takes it's head, when you feel the mess
You don't know me well enough this way
It's easy when you know
You don't know me well enough this way
Easy when you know, easy when you know
Easy when you know
