I know baby that you don't love me
But can't you pretend to love me just one more day?
We can go out driving, maybe see a movie
Movies are your favorite thing, you'd always say
But I got one, two, three heartbreaks
And I'm not looking for a fourth heartbreak tonight
I've got one, two, three headaches
If I had one more I'd probably die
Come on darlin', you know that I miss you
But I'm not fallin' for your silly tricks again
I might be wrong but honey, that ain't the issue
Its that you're tryin' to get me to be your friend

I used to have a heartbeat, now I've got a hole since you left
It beat every moment of every day, but not since then
Why don't you love me?
That's what I wanna know
I thought I was lucky till you left home
I used to have a woman, now I've got a dog by my side
We go by the house where we lived and love died
Why don't you love me?
That's what I wanna know
I thought I was lucky, till you left home
Oh baby, you know I'm waiting
And I don't give up that fast
But lady, you know I hate it
I can't shake it
But you'll be my last

Heartbroken Blues
02:40
|

|
She sent me away late one day
It's time to go
I loved her so
These heartbroken blues, they rattle my bones
Got me with no place to call my home
A long time ago, her love was so bold
She called my name
Now it's not the same
These heartbroken blues, got me feelin' this way
Like I'm the one who just might be insane
And I begged, oh I begged
To let me prove myself
There was nothing she wanted from me
She said, yeah she said
The love she knew was dead
So stop selling the shit she gets for free
So I stayed away, yeah I kept my space
For so long
Now she's gone
These heartbroken blues, oh they feel so wrong
Why am I so weak when she's so strong?
These heartbroken blues, have kept me up for days
Why did things have to go this way?

Down, Down, Down

Living ain't been easy since you left
Everyday I'm lost in some spotted dream of you
The way you stole my heart and sold it a back to me
God knows I'm a fool for buyin'
It's true
I'm sadder than the next man you'll tear apart
I gave you all I had but I must have missed my mark
The way you told me you'd always stay
But here I am above my grave
I'm blue
The birds they used to chirp--where'd they go?
They all flew south and I might follow
You used to say that I was the one
I guess I wasn't that much fun
So I'll get gone
Then there was the day you told me you might come back
I was sippin' on English tea with my bags in my hand
When I came home you weren't around
I looked through all the windows in town
And I went down, down, down, down, down
To where I live now
When I called you'd said you found someone new
I only hope they love you as good as I used to
I always knew that you were smart
And you liked to dress the part
But you didn't have to break my heart
Cause now I'm goin' down, down, down, down, down
To where I live now.

I'm In No Condition
05:59
|
|||
|
Baby
I've got flowers growing out my eyes now
With the sour tears
Going hand in hand with my lies now
And I tell myself, I don't need no help
But I'm lying
Baby
Not a night goes by I don't dream that you love me
The bathroom stalls filled with birds who said they'd dug me
Then they snubbed me
Oh I'm dyin'
I know I said I'd never love again
Unless I saw your face then you know it'd be the end
Of my lying to myself
Of me needing someones help
I could never make it a single day
Not with someone else
I'm in no condition
To be seeing you
I'm in no position
To be acting cruel
Baby
I've got headaches like a downtown July set of windchimes
Burning in and out my ears all through the spring time
It's a story
About star signs
Baby
All my days feel like a halestorm
I've been touched with cold truths from the lord in heaven before
And they froze me
And I'm still frozen
Oh I know I said I'd never love again
Till I saw your face, then you know it'd be the end
Of me lying to myself
Of me needing someones help
I could never make it a single day
Not with someone else
Chorus
I'd lose myself in the places we'd sit
Wishing we never had met
And you're off with a new man I'd bet
And I'm as good as lonesome can get

Send My Heart
02:50

Vera, won't you return my letters?
Send yourself for Christmas
I know that it seems a little odd to you
It's been about a year now baby
But I just need you to listen
I'm usually not wrong when it comes to being true
Oh, its December in the heartland
And I ain't gonna lie, I ain't got no heart man
Vera wrapped it up--put it under the tree
And all I want for Christmas honey
Is your heart or mine, and it might sound funny
But I need you to send my heart back to me
I know you love Jesus baby
But me and him got problems
But I'm about the holiest man you can fan
I bless every meal with red wine honey
And I ain't got no money either
I'll forgive all your sins
If you forget mine
Chorus
Ho,ho, ho
Blah, blah, blah

Teach Me to Gamble
02:50
|
|||
|
Gleaming twilight hour on a foggy winter's day
Sack full of tinsel and a choice hard to make
Teach me to gamble, I can try and defend my name
The air is so forgiving on the southern interstate
Staying semi-conscious, kissing the lakes goodbye
The railroad hums the hobo songs; there's a party going on inside
Teach me to gamble, I can join by their side
Play a hand of poker and my lover says, "You tried."
Ended up in a swampy shack, breathing summer air
The men here, the grow feeble, and the women lose their hair
Teach me to gamble, I can try and decide whats fair
I might be sad and I might grow old but its better here than there
Living in Appalachia keeps my eyes open so wide
The moon here looks like a tin can we threw into the sky
Teach my to gamble, please don't be shy
Show me how to hold my own or watch me die

One Thing I Know...
03:06
|
|||
|
Well I broke your heart
What could I do?
Well I broke your heart
Cause I don't love you
One thing I know
Is that things weren't right
That's why I broke your heart tonight
You live down the street
But I don't care
I got bored
With this love we share
One thing I know
Is that I'll be gone this time
I won't hear ya cry
Its been awhile
Since I seen your face
I was once your man
But you weren't my taste
One thing I know
Is that things weren't right
That's why I broke your heart tonight

None But You
06:17
|

|
None but you
Found me out
Captured the ghost of this old soul
None but you
Spat out rain
And flooded this soul with pain
None but you
Helped me out
And asked me to die next to you
None but you
Shot me down
Flyin' blind above this town
Oooo
I've been trying to find the pieces of my mind
Oooo
They've been scattered across this city all that time
And I've got a folder in the left side of my desk with all your letters in it
And none but you wrote them so plain:
You loved me when I loved you
And you'll never love me again
None but you
Unlocked this chest
And shrieked from the terror inside
None but you
Loved this heart
And shrugged and walked when it died
Oooo
I've been trying to find a peace of mind
Oooo
I've been scattered across this city all that time
And I've got folder in the left side of my desk with all your letters in it
And none but you wrote them so plain:
You loved me when I loved you
And you'll never love me again
