Ceiling

There's something dripping from the ceiling
You act like I can patch it up
It ain't ever that easy
And I think I've done enough
This house is broken
Beyond repairing
The hole gets bigger
And you're just stare
At something dripping from the ceiling
Something dripping from the ceiling
It's the elephant in the room
We pretend not to notice
But we really do
Every turn of a cheek
The realer it gets
The house was floating
But we forget
Even with the good bones
Nothing lasts too long
There's something dripping from the ceiling
You act like I can patch it up
It ain't ever that easy
And I think I've done enough
This house is broken
Beyond repairing
The hole gets bigger
And you're just stare
At something dripping from the ceiling
At something dripping from the ceiling

When we first met you were getting
Outside your comfort zone
You said you dreamed about the wedding
And a house to make a home
You always said, "I need you, baby"
At least a hundred million times
And I was caught celebrating
While you still needed to hide
So this is what it's like?
Falling for the "straight" girl?
I guess you faked it last night?
Cause wow, this shit really rocked my world
Falling for a "straight" girl
Now it's not like I chased you
Or begged you to open up
In fact you called me every time you
Caught a little more than a buzz
But I will never disrespect you
I will never ask you to come out
I only want to protect you
But we both know how that one turned out
So this is what it's like?
Falling for a "straight" girl
I guess you faked it last night
Wow this one really rocked my world
Falling for a "straight" girl

Well I walked down to the shell station where they know my first name
Light green pack of cigarettes for all of this cocaine I'm gonna need tonight
Why'd ya say goodbye?
Just erase my mind
We got caught in weather on the way back home from wherever
What a parallel for a love like this
Oh what a roller coaster
I wouldn't wanna miss
Oh what I'd do for another kiss at any given time
You
You keep on coming home drunk at 3 A.M.
Ooh
Singing that same old song
Keep reeling me back in
But I never let this love run cold
Because you know that we been tied at the soul
For so so long
If you end up in jail, then you're sleeping there tonight
I'll be back home on the porch looking for a light
Sitting with God and Mary Jane
When I pick you up tomorrow, it'll all just be the same
You
You keep on coming home drunk at 3 A.M.
Ooh
Singing that same old song
Keep reeling me back in
But I never let this love run cold
Because you know that we been tied at the soul
For so so long
For so long

Bender

I'd have picked you up
If you'd given a fuck
But I let you come to me
Because I gave up driving drunk
And talking small town tea
Foggy windows and Waffle House
You fell in love while I fell out
Fourteen hours of drinking got me thinking
Now I'm on a bender
Bumming cigarettes
But I surrender to all of these regrets
I'm on a bender
You're the only thing that can sober me
Mmm
Back in the parking lot
You were high on more than expectation
That we would be a winning lottery
Take you to the station
We were just
Foggy windows and Waffle House
You fell in love while I fell out
Now fourteen hours of drinking got me thinking…
I'm on a bender
Smoking cigarettes
But I surrender to all of these regrets
I'm on bender
You're the only thing that can sober me
Mmm
Brick by brick, I've fallen into you
And all at once I'm feeling deja vu
Thinking about the places that you've taken me
Wondering where I would be if I wasn't here with you
Foggy windows and a Waffle House
You fell in love with me while I was falling out
Fourteen hours of drinking
Got me wrestling the doubt
That I don't still need you
When I'm on a bender
Smoking cigarettes
I surrender to all of these regrets
When I'm bender
You're the only thing
That can sober me
When I'm bender

Her pops raised her working on the farm
Taught her to love the land and how to grow a pine
When that little girl turned eighteen
She learned that her family tree
Grew all the weed in Eastern, Tennessee
His daddy spent his nights keeping a still hot in the mountains
And it passed down to him the day they laid him in the ground
And now he's cooking up the lightning
And making all the rounds to every politician, preacher and teacher in this town
(Oh lord)
Everybody's needing something to get by
Someone somewhere made the fix that gets you high
I ain't judging
Ain't above it
If you like it, then I love it
You can get drunk
You get stoned
Whatever makes you feel a little less alone
Moonshine medicine goes better with lettuce from the devil
Around here we call that the smoky mountain special
Momma said that love and moonshine
Both will make you blind
One sip was all it took
And she was crossing more than county lines
Now that boy's about as much trouble as his daddy was
Running from the law must run in that family's blood
Oh lord
Everybody's needing something to get by
Someone somewhere made the fix that gets you high
I ain't judging
Ain't above it
If you like it, then I love it
You can get drunk
You get stoned
Whatever makes you feel a little less alone
Moonshine medicine goes better with lettuce from the devil
Around here we call that the smoky mountain special
You can get drunk
You get stoned
Whatever makes you feel a little less alone
Moonshine medicine goes better with lettuce from the devil
Around here we call that the smoky mountain special

I got fired from a job I hate
Dumped by my second place
Guess you could call it a bad day day day
I lied straight to my mom's face
When she asked me if I liked this place
Truthfully I don't know what to say
Taking it day by day
Yeah
Taking it day by day
Day by day
Day by day by day
Day by day by day
Mmm it's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
Yeah
Uh
Hey, I might have cried this morning
But shit, I plan on doing all my laundry today anyway
I finally didn't hit the snooze
Did some dos on the to-do list
While still feeling everything but loose
My mind's been playing tricks on me
So I slow down and breathe
I'm uh knock out all my side quests
Goo Goo Dolls Iris
Find time to rest my eyelids and take in the breeze
Taking it day by day
Taking it day by day
Day by day
Day day by day
Day by day by day
Mmm it's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
Yeah
Day by day
Day by day
Day by day
Day by day
Day by day
Day by day
Day by day
Day by day
Day by day

Some Folks
02:36

In the distance, I can hear them
It's the whole town talking smack
I could come up with a snappy answer
Or I could leave and never look back
I could feel it in the valley
Like my family calling my name
But when a bird is made for flying
Don't you ever try to clip them wings
Because some folks never gonna get it
Never hear the mountains call
Some folks will never comprehend it
How the rivers keep flowing on
I can feel it down in Nashville
Like a Gibson playing Janis
But when a bird is made for flying
Don't you ever try and clip them wings
Because some folks ain't never gonna get it
Never hear the mountains call
Some folks never comprehend it
How the rivers keep flowing on
How the rivers keep flowing on
How the rivers keep flowing on
How the rivers keep flowing on

Family Tree
02:57

I was made by a long line of women
Who can hold more than their whiskey
Stories grow so long and winding
Fire and air made of mystery
She won't tell you her secret recipe
And she's got a chip on her shoulder
But I know now that she is me
When I get just a little bit older
All the women in my family tree
Became the biggest part of me
And the stories that remain untold
We lived out in our lives alone
I hope you don't share the bad dreams
But even if you do
I'll stay in therapy for you
I won't bite my tongue if I'm talking to an idiot
And sometimes I drive like grandma Janey did
Riding up on some truck's hitch
Just because he yelled "watch it"
I guess I got that same switch
Cause I won't tell you my secret recipe
And I got a chip on my shoulder
But I know now
That she is me when I get just a little bit older
All the women in my family tree
Became the biggest part of me
And the stories that remain untold
We lived out in our lives alone
I hope you don't share the bad dreams
But even if you do
I'll stay in therapy for you

Thoughts And Prayers

Another Monday in America
When a mom in Tennessee
Turns on the television to check the lottery
Then she saw an ambulance, right down the street
From where her baby was safely sleeping
An angry mom took the microphone live on Fox News
She said she already lived it twice now and there's more we gotta to do
And all the folks at the Capitol, they'll send out a single tweet
And when those thoughts and prayers
Arrive on the scene
They never do anything
When the thoughts and prayers arrive at the scene
They never do anything
Do something
The talking head on T.V. said we'll be back at nine with more
Didn't say that it was gonna repeat for the rest of our lives
The gun lobby and the GOP think money is worth more than babies leaving school alive
Now they're using troopers to kick out Moms for holding signs
And everybody's shouting that there's no sides
But all the folks in the Capitol in D.C. don't seem to care
Because when those thoughts and prayers arrive on the scene
They never do anything
When the thoughts and prayers arrive at the scene
They never do anything
Do something

Throw Me In The Lake
03:02
|

|
When I die
Don't put me in the ground
I don't want the soil to hold me down
Bring me back to where I learned to swim
When I was just a little child
And I know it is morbid to say
Just throw me in the lake
Because I want to see the mountains
Throw me in the lake
Where I can swim
Our dog, Benny, his ashes run the shore
And the trees grew with the family
Windy roads I could drive sleeping
Lead us to the place we loved the most
And I know it is morbid to say
Just throw me in the lake
Because I want to see the mountains
Just throw me in the lake
Where I can swim
Some people want a funeral in a tiny church
Some people want to be a tree holding onto earth
Some people want Jameson, forgiveness, and a wake
But I just want you to take me back to Rutherford county and
Throw me in the lake
Where I can see the mountains
Just throw me in the lake
Where I can swim
