Whiskey
03:28
|

my tongue slips through this grin
to cast another spell
and here's a poem and a wink
and a penny for the well
whiskey, whiskey
and it's so hard to think
with a mouth that's full of drink
and a boy by your side
his eyes so promising
and he loves you, and i love you
you could be my darlin'
you could be my everything
this room is a blur
and the sheets are so cold
and we're both looking for
somebody else to hold
'til the night is through
if just 'til the night is through
you could be my darlin'
you could be my everything

Burn It Down
04:29
|

guess i'll go downtown again
no plans, no friends, just me and the booze
where the sidewalk ends
another exercise in being alone
either that or i'll give up and go back home
'cause this is my church
and i'll burn it down by myself
this is my church
and i'll burn it down by myself
it's all i need, just a little bit, a little bit
it's all i need, just a little bit, a little bit
a little bit more, cause i'm not used to these days
waking up alone in my bed laying sideways
i got my headphones on and something burning in my hand
grab the only pair of glasses on the bed stand
it's when i need a little bit
'cause this is my church
and i'll burn it down by myself
this is my church
and i'll burn it down by myself
it's all i need, just a little bit, a little bit
it's all i need, just a little bit, a little bit
when the smoke clears, i reckon i'll breathe a little easier
but for now, it's just this bed i've made
and a couple lonely songs i can't stop playing
and i get down on my knees and pray
the only way that i know how, all smiles and gasoline
'cause this is my church
and i'll burn it down by myself
this is my church
and i'll burn it down by myself
it's all i need, just a little bit, a little bit
it's all i need, just a little bit, a little bit

Low Down Love
03:00
|

i've got this, got this low down love
i've got this, got this low down love
if the night was gold
and i was a jeweler
i'd wrap it 'round my throat
let it hang me from jupiter
i've got this, got this low down love
i've got this, got this low down love
if the ocean was a sea
that i could drink in
i'd swallow all the sharks
from the teeth to the fins
let them eat me alive
from the inside
cause i've got this, got this love down love
i've got this, got this low down love
i've got this, got this low down love
got this low down love

Dance With Me
04:09
|
|||
well i've got a big heart
and i've been known to give it to a stranger
i've got this bouquet of roses
and they're dead, but maybe you can hang them
and if you're lookin', if you're lookin' for a damn good time
baby look no more
you can find me up on the stage, dancin' alone
two-steppin' your name into the floor
so come dance with me
let me twirl you around
i just wanna feel you closer, darlin'
just wanna set something on fire
just wanna set something on fire
well i've got enough whiskey for the both of us
and if you don't come 'round, well the job's still gettin' done
so come dance with me
let me twirl you around
i just wanna feel you closer, darlin'
just wanna set something on fire
just wanna set something on fire
so come dance with me
let me twirl you around
i just wanna feel you closer, darlin'
just wanna set something on fire
just wanna set something on fire

Honey Drip

gimme some sugar babe
gimme some of your sweet tea
gimme some lovin', doll
lay your body next to me
cause i've got this fever for you
one that i plan to keep
go ahead light them candles, babe
won't hurt to set one more thing on fire
go ahead, pull them curtains shut
and put that old withers on the wire
cause i've got somethin' for you
only high and getting higher
oh, you're the one
take me by the hand
lead me to where you fall asleep
make sure you understand, now
i could watch your honey drip for weeks
cause i've got this hunger for you
won't let me get relief
oh, you're the one
oh, you're the one
cause i've got this fever for you
one that i plan to keep

Howlin' Just For You
04:28
|
|||
used to watch the sunset from the fourth
i took her there, i took her there
we ran through the alleyway
so dark and fast, it was the second day
that we stumbled through, that's about when i knew
used to play songs under the moon
howlin' just for you, howlin' just for you
could've died, could've sucked the marrow
out from my bones, but she didn't
and we made it home, oh we made it home
three hours sleep in a dirty bed
should've known she'd get me with her hooks
when she shed her shirt, she looked into my eyes
used to play songs under the moon
howlin' just for you, howlin' just for you
used to play songs under the moon
howlin' just for you, howlin' just for you
three hours sleep in a dirty bed
should've known she'd get me with her hooks
when she shed her shirt, she looked into my eyes
streetlights creepin' through the broken blinds
crawlin' cross her breast, kissin' up her spine
oh i took her there, oh i took her there
used to play songs under the moon
howlin' just for you, howlin' just for you
