Against The Wind 03:41
lyrics
buy track
It seems like yesterday But it was long ago Janey was lovely she was the queen of my nights There in the darkness with the radio playing low, and And the secrets that we shared The mountains that we moved Caught like a wildfire out of control 'Til there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove And I remember what she said to me How she swore that it never would end I remember how she held me oh-so-tight Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then Against the wind We were runnin' against the wind We were young and strong, we were runnin' against the wind The years rolled slowly past And I found myself alone Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends I found myself further and further from my home, and I Guess I lost my way There were oh-so-many roads I was living to run and running to live Never worried about paying or even how much I owed Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time Breaking all of the rules that would bend I began to find myself searching Searching for shelter again and again Against the wind A little something against the wind I found myself seeking shelter against the wind Well those drifter's days are past me now I've got so much more to think about Deadlines and commitments What to leave in, what to leave out Against the wind I'm still runnin' against the wind I'm older now but still runnin' against the wind Well I'm older now and still runnin' Against the wind Against the wind Against the wind Still runnin' (against the wind) I'm still runnin' against the wind (Against the wind) I'm still runnin' (Against the wind) I'm still runnin' against the wind (Against the wind) still runnin' (Against the wind)runnin' against the wind, runnin' against the wind (Against the wind) see the young man run (Against the wind) watch the young man run (Against the wind) watch the young man runnin' (Against the wind) he'll be runnin' against the wind (Against the wind) let the cowboys ride (Against the wind) aah (Against the wind) let the cowboys ride (Against the wind) they'll be ridin' against the wind (Against the wind) against the wind (Against the wind) ridin' against the wind...

Howling At Nothing 02:42
lyrics

Some are waving it around Someone carried me home One was never noticed sleeping on the floor But I know we were there Some were playing in a round Some were dipping so low It never seemed to matter as the night slipped away 'Cause there was soul in the air We were howlin at the moon We were shaking our hips Danced until we flat out falling into bed But I won't let you go So, let me in or let me down Let me lay here so slow Baby just keep holding got to move our feet 'Cause you know it ain't end Step it in or step it out Cut it all in and run Kept on till it mattered baby I don't even see But I know we were there We were howling at the moon We were shaking our hips Danced until we flat out falling into bed Said I won't let you go We were howling at the moon We were shaking our hips Danced until we flat out falling into bed Said I won't let you go Danced until we flat out falling into bed Said I won't let you go Songwriters: Nathaniel Rateliff

November Gale 02:31
lyrics
buy track
November Gale It’s nowhere near daylight when I wake in the morn Then I put on a sweater to keep myself warm And I turn on the forecast to see what the weatherman says And decide if I’ll go on the water today The winds from the northeast, at least so he says and he’s saying a gale is what’s on the way I’ll go out to the wharf just to see what the men say But I’m not going out on the water today The old boat’s just bobbin’ out there on the bay And right at the moment there’s never a wave but the clouds in the sky, they move quickly away So I’m not goin’ out on the water today I’ve worked on the water for most of my days I know the sea well, I know how it behaves And what I owe to the bank I will never repay But I’m not going out on the water today It’s nowhere near daylight when I wake in the morn Then I put on a sweater to keep myself warm But that November Gale it will have the last say And I’m not going out on the water today Yes that November Gale will have the last say And I’m not goin’ out on the water today No I’m not goin out No I’m not goin’ out I’m not goin’ out No I’m not goin’ out on the water today Songwriter: Kevin Paddle

Don't Need Em Tonight 02:26
lyrics
buy track
Flipping through the channels while you’re sitting alone Because you promised yourself a quiet evening at home Your head’s been pounding for 3 full days Because the last time out you went a little crazy But then the phone keeps ringing and they’re calling you out And all the voicemails are muffled cause they’re screaming and shouting And before you know it you’ve changed your mind And oh no, oh no, oh no, it’s gonna be a party tonight Chorus Because the band’s at the bar and they’re playing your song And all your boys are out so it’s where you belong We’ve got the Keith’s on tap and we’re feeling alright So leave your keys at home cause you don’t need ‘em tonight And all the girls at the bar are singing your song And your boys are out you know it’s where you belong We’ve got the Keith’s on tap and we’re feeling alright So leave your keys at home cause you don’t need ‘em tonight Verse Your eyes get drawn to the LCD Because the Habs and Leafs are on the CBC And you convince yourself you wanna watch some goals So you’ll be staying for the game and not a minute more But the drinks keep coming and taste so sweet And everybody’s jumping up out their seat Just before you have a chance to change your mind Oh no, oh no, oh no, you know you’re here to party tonight Chorus Because the band’s at the bar and they’re playing your song And all your boys are out so it’s where you belong We’ve got the Keith’s on tap and we’re feeling alright So leave your keys at home cause you don’t need ‘em tonight And all the girls at the bar are singing your song And your boys are out you know it’s where you belong We’ve got the Keith’s on tap and we’re feeling alright So leave your keys at home cause you don’t need ‘em tonight Songwriter: Bryan McKenzie

Tennessee Whiskey 04:33

Used to spend my nights out in a barroom Liquor was the only love I've known But you rescued me from reachin' for the bottom And brought me back from being too far gone You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey You're as sweet as strawberry wine You're as warm as a glass of brandy And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time I've looked for love in all the same old places Found the bottom of a bottle's always dry But when you poured out your heart I didn't waste it 'Cause there's nothing like your love to get me high You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey You're as sweet as strawberry wine You're as warm as a glass of brandy And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey You're as sweet as strawberry wine You're as warm as a glass of brandy And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey Tennessee whiskey Tennessee whiskey You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey Tennessee whiskey Tennessee whiskey Songwriters: Linda H Bartholomew / Dean Dillon

Some folks are born made to wave the flag They're red, white and blue And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief" They point the cannon at you, Lord It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no senator's son, son It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no fortunate one Some folks are born silver spoon in hand Lord, don't they help themselves, yeah But when the taxman comes to the door The house look a like a rummage sale It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no fortunate one Yeah, some folks inherit star-spangled eyes They send you down to war And when you ask 'em: "How much should we give?" They only answer: "More, more, more" It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no military son It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no fortunate one, one It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no fortunate one It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no fortunate one Songwriters: John Cameron Fogerty

Lodi 02:50

Just about a year ago I set out on the road Seekin' my fame and fortune Lookin' for a pot of gold Thing got bad things got worse I guess you will know the tune Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again I rode in on the Greyhound I'll be walkin' out if I go I was just passin' through Must be seven seven months or more Ran out of time and money Looks like they took my friends Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again The man from the magazine Said I was on my way Somewhere I lost connections Ran out of songs to play I came into town, a one night stand Looks like my plans fell through Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again If I only had a dollar For ev'ry song I've sung And ev'ry time I had to play While people sat there drunk You know, I'd catch the next train Back to where I live Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again Songwriters: John Cameron Fogerty

Here I am again tonight, with my little country band playing country music, on a one night stand inside me is the the urge to give up and die that's why I'm making my steel guitar cry Chorus: Cry, oh cry, steel guitar do my crying for me cry, oh cry, express my sorrow for me There's Billy at the the mic and he's singing so sweet he doesn't know that I'm dyin' underneath if he knew how I felt he wouldn't sing so sad he'd sing a happy song so I would feel glad Chorus There she sits at the table, holding his hand she slipped through my fingers like a tiny grain of sand she doesn't know all the misery she caused me so steel guitar cry all my teardrops for me chorus Songwriter: Bill Hackett

Somebody save me, me from myself I've spent so long living in Hell They say my lifestyle is bad for my health It's the only thing that seems to help All of this drinkin' and smokin' is hopeless But feel like it's all that I need Somethin' inside of me's broken I hold on to anything that sets me free I'm a lost cause Baby, don't waste your time on me I'm so damaged beyond repair Life has shattered my hopes and my dreams I'm a lost cause Baby, don't waste your time on me I'm so damaged beyond repair Life has shattered my hopes and my dreams What if the night sky was missin' the moon? There were no shootin' stars to use wishin' on you And all of my sorrows, I'd just wash them down It's the only peace, I've ever found All of this drinkin' and… I'm a lost cause Baby, don't waste your time on me I'm so damaged beyond repair Life has shattered my hopes and my dreams I'm a lost cause

Well the road rolls out like a welcome mat To a better place than the one we're at And I ain't got no kinda plan But I've had all of this town I can stand And I got friends out on the coast We can jump in the water and see what floats We've been saving for a rainy day Let's beat the storm and be on our way It don't matter to me Wherever we are is where I wanna be And, honey, for once in our life Let's take our chances and roll the dice I can be your lucky penny You can be my four-leaf clover Starting over This might not be an easy time There's rivers to cross and hills to climb Some days we might fall apart And some nights might feel cold and dark When nobody wins afraid of losing And the hard roads are the ones worth choosing Some day we'll look back and smile… It don't matter to me Wherever we are is where I wanna be And, honey, for once in our life Let's take our chances and roll the dice I can be your lucky penny You can be my four-leaf clover Starting over

I'm a white man living in a white man's world Under our roof is a baby girl I thought this world could be hers one day But her mama knew better I'm a white man living in a white man's town Want to take a shot of cocaine and burn it down Mama wants to change that Nashville sound But they're never gonna let her There's no such thing as someone else's war Your creature comforts aren't the only things worth fighting for Still breathing, it's not too late We're all carrying one big burden, sharing one fate I'm a white man living on a white man's street I've got the bones of the red man under my feet The highway runs through their burial grounds Past the oceans of cotton I'm a white man looking in a black man's eyes Wishing I'd never been one of the guys Who pretended not to hear another white man's joke Oh, the times ain't forgotten There's no such thing as someone else's war Your creature comforts aren't the only things worth fighting for You're still breathing, it's not too late We're all carrying one big burden, sharing one fate I'm a white man living in a white man's nation I think the man upstairs must'a took a vacation I still have faith, but I don't know why Maybe it's the fire in my little girl's eyes Maybe it's the fire in my little girl's eyes
