Drunk 02:35
lyrics

The senators are drunk again The truckers slide on roads of sin The ladies slip into their coats of nothing The lizards crawl into their pipe They all sing I never did you wrong and I can barely sing this song And yeah I smoked a homemade bong And I'm so drunk I wrote this song The flavored nurses dance in drag The minotaur man wears a coat of shag The concubines look so delicious Tuxedo tramps twirl their umbrellas They all sing I never did you wrong and I can barely sing this song And yeah I smoked a homemade bong And I'm so drunk I wrote this song, now They all sing I never did you wrong and I can barely sing this song And yeah I smoked a homemade bong And I'm so drunk I wrote this song, now I never did you wrong and I can barely sing this song I smoked a homemade bong And I'm so drunk I wrote this song

Bad Gal Blues 01:48
lyrics

I been down to the bottom, up at the top Been all manner of places, never knew if it would stop Looking back from this dark gray sphere Trying to sort out all these years I walked among wolves, slept with the snakes I took all sorts of treatment I never thought I could take I'm looking out through the rain Trying to find my way back again, yeah I sat in the gutter, been placed on a throne Known all kinds of people and I been all alone Sometimes it's too much to even say Thrown and been thrown away

Go Home 02:57
lyrics
buy track
You wanna talk about love? You better talk to me Cuz I ain't got time for your sympathy You say you wantin all the answers to your questions You say you want a quick romance? Well I ain't the one You can't hide from the passion, you can't run from the pain I don't have time to lose you and try to win you back again Go beg for someone else cuz I don't give a damn about you You think you know about pride? Don't know a thing about it Don't want to hear your promise, no no I won't allow it You think you know about me? Well girl you better think twice Cuz I've learned that ladies are more than sugar and spice, yeah You can't hide from the passion, you can't run from the pain I don't have time to lose you and try to win you back again Just keep all your secrets cuz my mind's all I got to lose Break it down! You can't hide from the passion, you can't run from the pain I don't have time to lose you and try to win you back again Just keep all your secrets cuz I don't give a damn about 'em (song written by Shane Padilla and Jak Locke)

Ignorant 02:07
lyrics
buy track
Ever wanted to know what the reason was that I don't have no time for you Think about your lies over these seasons, all the things you felt you had to do Never wanted to be, wanted to be with me Maybe one day you'll grow up before you die Belligerent attitude you carried along with your hate for everything Can't believe for all these months I tarried with all the baggage you're carrying Never wanted to be, wanted to be with me Maybe one day you'll grow up before you die I don't have a need to be your puppet anymore So just go find somebody else to feed your need for selfishness I hope you're happy because one day soon the truth will hit you Like a ton of bricks right on your own self-serving head Never wanted to be, wanted to be with me Maybe one day you'll grow up before you die It's then you will realize what just slipped from your life Gone forever now, but you're too dumb to see

Shootin pool on another lonely night Ain't no ladies, ain't none of my friends in sight It's my break baby, and you know that broken is what I am Say it's your turn pal, say, tell me your name again Sunk the fourteen well baby, you know my soul is sinking too I can't help wondering if it's all because of you Eight ball, my shot -- right down the cue ball went One more game pal, here's my last fifty cents Had days like this before and from all I tell, they ain't never come to nothing good Old Scratch come around givin me ideas on what I oughta do that nobody ever should

Blind Man Morris 02:05
lyrics
buy track
Through the devil night the air blew cold to fill the gap where the blind man stole A mercenary thief was he, claiming his gold most jealously And sweet Queen Maureen in her plastic cape demanding sweet nothings from a hollow shape Blind Man Morris with his head in his arms, relying on his effervescent charms The queen and the actress had met before, standing in the jamb of irony’s door Actress is sitting on the blind man’s leg, leaves him there to panhandle and beg Unknowingly she opens the door just enough to keep him coming back for more Blind Man Morris on the side of the road trying to decipher the actress’s code Queen Maureen with her hand on her hip exalting the pride of her sinking ship Blind man watchin the queen from the pier, says “I got a life jacket and it’s stayin right here” The actress, in her coat of gold in the devil night where the air blows cold To fill the gap where the blind man stole, in the devil night, the air blew cold cold

Sometimes 01:46
lyrics

Sometimes I wonder where you are Wondering how you got so far You know I missed you today I'm wondering why you went away Sometimes we laughed, sometimes we cried I'm looking for a reason why I don't know if I should and if what I miss is something good I say, you never told me That I should have wondered what was wrong I never realized that what we had really wasn't that strong (song written by Shane Padilla and Jak Locke)

Lean Mean 02:52

Well I like your woman, I think I'll take her home with me tonight Yeah I said I like your woman! I think I'll take her home and see if she's all right Yeah! You tell me that I ain't got no sense of style You tell me that I been away for a while Well that's as may be, I just don't know anymore Well I ain't the one that's been walkin out the door The guitar's in Gunpowder's hands Do the world a favor, or at least for me: Stick a fork in the first toaster or electric socket that you see
