Coast to coast, round and round Coast to coast, I do roll I don't care where I'm bound And I'll pay any toll Little bell rings above the diner door Waitress takes the tip from my hand Collar up out in the brave new world And I smile and look the best that I can Coast to coast, we are born Coast to coast, we are apart My freedom was a thorn Lodged up against your heart So many nights I have begged for you Out in the wilderness, so far from man Blindly reach out for unknown truth But I smile and look the best that I can Coast to coast, bought and sold Coast to coast, cold as steel Nothing left out there to hold Hard to tell what is real I feel myself just wasting away I see the hill upon which my fathers stand Just might get there at the end of the day If I do I'll smile and look the best that I can

Clementine 02:57
I keep the embers burning Make sure her chamber is warm Then I kiss goodnight Clementine Then whisper no more As I walk out the door And I wander through The great unknown And I wonder if I ain't carved of stone For love it is a curious thing One of us cries and the other one sings I thought of her all the time But silence is louder than thought But I come back around to Clementine And open her door To bare walls and a floor And she's out there in The great unknown It's an empty house And I'm all alone Oh love it is a curious thing One of us leaves and the other one sings

You don't know what you need The needle's in your arm Armored cars come crashing in Indecision is to blame We had the same last name Well, name and all, it was lost The lost and found is empty now An empty heart is what it cost Your doors are never locked But I'm locked out as you shoot off With offbeat lovers you sleep with I'm withered and left here to rot Come on baby give me what you got I'll shoot it all inside my vein And I'll crawl inside myself Self-destruction eases the pain We had the same last name Well, name and all it was lost You're lost forever to me now Now forever's all I got We had the same last name We had the same last name

In My Dreams 04:24
Sheriff lights Go round and round I see it all From the edge of town You're a hometown girl A dancehall queen But your handsome prince Gets to drunk and mean And I hold my arms around you In my dreams I got the moon Coyote call But outside that I ain't much at all At the liquor store You smiled at me Looked in my eyes Well, could you see That I hold my arms around you In my dreams Sheriff lights Go round and round Just another night In a nowhere town It's over now You'll go to sleep With all you promised But could not keep And I'll hold my arms around you In my dreams

Chicago 04:47
Fall on my face Sleep on the ground Wake up by a train As the blood trickles down Twenty degrees I nearly was killed Holes in my jeans Threadbare will Chicago, Chicago So long ago I was alone But you were around So drunk and stoned At the Lakeview Lounge You'd open up I'd crawl on in That's where I'd get stuck Sleep inside you again Chicago, Chicago Chicago, Chicago Chicago, Chicago Chicago, so long ago One day we were friends We went to a play Walked in the wind Didn't drink that day That day I was happy That day was so fine It's good we can't see Too far into time Chicago, Chicago Chicago, Chicago Chicago, Chicago Chicago, so long ago

There's no need to tell me What you'd though I'd say When I told you to take it all, baby And to have a nice day I got these tangled memories Of what has been Keep me reminded Just where to fit you in We climbed high mountains Crawled across desert floors But it was me on my knees, baby That night you walked out the door These tangled memories Sweeten the pain And they wipe out most of the darkness Shuffle around what remains I can take all the hard times And make them all pretty scenes Changed your eye color, clothes and your hairstyle, sugar And you can never change these old Tangled memories I don't know if a single one's true But they keep me warm in the night And they help me make sense of you There's no need to tell me What you think I mean No, there's no need to tell me A goddamn thing

I've never yearned to be free I've never fought for what's right Though I have drifted at sea I never wanted to fly No, I never wanted to fly That doesn't mean I live in chains Nor do I run or do I hide I've never skipped on any pain Just never wanted to fly No, I never wanted to fly There's was never any question I'd roam I hold nothing in my hands Never had a craving for loneliness There was just never anywhere to take a stand Never anywhere to take a stand I've never read much into your smile Your cute winks or tears you cry But with you I'll walk the miles Just don't ask me to fly No, I never wanted to fly Never wanted to fly

I'll come out to Brooklyn tonight Just because it's what you want We'll creep around the old haunts Try our best not to fight We can go down to the boardwalk And pretend everything's alright Hold our hands real tight Make fake smiles and small talk But you can't take from me What I don't claim to believe in Baby there ain't no use changin' That teardrop's already fallen I'll come knockin' on your door Just as you've run out of your tissues Cried your way through all your issues You up and left me for Now we can go down memory lane By the light of a ferris wheel You can push me, say I can't feel Against the waves and say I'm to blame But you can't take from me What I don't claim to believe in Baby there ain't no use changin' That teardrop's already fallen No you can take from me What ain't there to begin with Don't use me to build your own myth I'm really tired and I'm out of breath

Shining On 02:14
I've seen you here before I used to know your name Somewhere outside my door Refusing to be tamed Oh my how did you shine And own your loneliness Your perfume smelled so fine As you faced the wilderness Worlds and faces blend into One unformed swirling shape And I am just like you Unable to escape So I guess just keep on shining Down the road you're on Come and go like lightening My love for you's not binding At the next silver lining You will be shining on
