Rainy days and maybe I still wanted Maybe I still wanted to be free You know I’ve made my share of bad decisions Ain’t it a shame to find them all come down on me I’ll find my way I’ll find my way home To the one I had to let go Ain’t it a shame Ain’t it a shame Are you lonely? You can know me for a moment or a lifetime Words are misconstrued and left behind And no one ever promised you tomorrow Ain’t it a shame when you don’t say what’s on your mind I’ll find my way I’ll find my way home To the one I had to let go Ain’t it a shame Ain’t it a shame Are you lonely? I’ll stop and start and over again Tables turn and shift in the wind Now I’m leaving Leaving the city Ain’t it a shame?

Fix Me Up 03:02
Make me tired Make me weak Break me so I can’t even speak Wreck me with your sweet affection Tear me with your love I’m a man broken down by the side of the road Fix me up Make me lonely Make me sad I’ll be the best love That you never had Cathedral choirs are singing Freedom from above I’m a man broken down by the side of the road Fix me up Well I’ve been beat down Smoked out, run around Churned to the ground ‘til you find there’s nothing left I guess my excess Gonna squeeze these dreams ‘til they break into pieces Take what you need and leave me be ‘Til you find me beneath the apple tree singing Please Roll me over Run me in a ditch Tear me down Turn me on like a light switch Cathedral choirs are singing Freedom from above I’m a man broken down by the side of the road Fix me up

Trickle Down 03:42
Welcome to a love affair So dangerous and debonair You’ll never come up for air at all It bends and twirls like beams of light With arms that wrap around the night I can’t believe something so right is real But everybody sings the blues And now and then they’ll turn on you So tell me how we all got through With no where left to go When you’re stuck out in the cold Let it flow down into your bones Love’s gonna trickle down into your soul Cut your teeth while whippoorwills Stand on shoulder blades and daffodils And oopsy-daisy does it all the time Take a little leave a lot For what we have is what we’ve got to give When giving is all we’ve really got to do But this old world’s a masterpiece Like tapestries from ancient Greece So why don’t you and I release Our love into the air? Where it goes you know I don’t care You know when you look up there Love’s gonna trickle down into your soul I’ll find you daily Underneath the afterglow Take me To the city lights below And maybe I’m bound to find a way to get back home But every day’s a drop of rain That circles ‘round and down the drain And takes away all of the pain That everybody shows But you find lo and behold Let it flow down into bones Love’s gonna trickle down into your soul

In the age of information I stay awake Watching numbers tumbling angels In the churning waves And it steals my time And it keeps in line All of our lives I found time to answer and analyze my need But I found so little time to bleed The stories that you tell in between the lines And the aviator’s cruising through the satellites And you scream out loud Your time’s run out What’ll you do now? I found time to answer and analyze my need But I found so little time to bleed When the night’s gone cold And the day is done I’ll lead you on home When the night’s gone cold And the day is done I’ll release you One of these days I’ll release you In the age of information I stay awake Watching numbers tumbling angels In the churning waves And it steals my time And it keeps in line All of our lives

The night Hank Williams died People came out Just to say goodbye Until morning And they’re mourning The sunbeam that quit shining And the liquor That came to his lips White lightning Running through his fingertips And the road winds forever Right up to heaven And I don’t mind dyin’ The night Hank Williams died Just like the first time I sang a lullaby And tomorrow’s gonna be a long time Lord knows I’m trying
