Early in the morning, sometimes late at night
Sometimes I get the feeling that every thing's alright
Early in the evening, sometimes in the day
Sometimes I get the feeling every thing's okay
Because everything cuts against the tide when you're by my side
Name me a song that everybody knows
I'll bet you it belongs to Acuff-Rose
Children in the playground, the folks in the home
Anybody anywhere ...
You threw out the past
When you threw out what was mine
Throughout the years
It was hard to make it last, Anodyne, Anodyne
No sign of reconciliation
It's quarter past the end
Full moon from on high
Across the board we lose again, Anodyne, Anodyne
Anodyne
Tossed it out for me to find
Without a word you're out the door
Without a reason anymore
Two fingers on the trigger
Can break the heart of an...
Do you fear this man's invention
That they call atomic power?
We all in great confusion
Do we know the time or hour?
When a terrible explosion
May rain down upon our land
Leaving horrible destruction
Blotting out the works of man
Are you, are you ready
For that great atomic power?
Will you rise and meet your Savior in the air?
Will you shout or will you cry
When the fire rains from on high?
Ar...
On liquor I spent my last dime
Sunday mornin', eight a.m.
Just cursin' myself again
Drinkin' like each one might be my last
Blurred memories of makin' toasts
To the cheapest beer and talk show hosts
Funny then but that's fadin' fast
Here's to wakin' up at night
Half drunk in a ditch by the side of the road
You're still thinkin' that you can't go on like this
Headed for a break down
You keep sa...
He had a black eye he was proud of
But some of his friends
Made him feel somewhere outside
Of everything and everywhere he'd been
Like his brothers he emptied himself
And played it safe like their father
He wanted to remember but he almost always
Forgot what he was gonna say
Black eye
Black eye
When he realized
That this one was here to stay
He took down all the mirrors in the hallway
And thou...

G D
Sometimes I get upset when people treat me bad
C G
I don't have time to think and so I get real mad
C
And I pull my hair and find somewhere where I can be alone
D G
And when I do I think of you and head myself back home
CHORUS:
C D G
For I got chores to keep me busy, clock to keep my time
C G D
A pretty girl to love me, with the same last name as mine

Never leave on your own
Where you're from and where you're going
I know these things like I know you hate me now
Catch yourself in mid-air thinking
Your dreams can never be bought
I couldn't help you then and I guess I can't help you now
When jousting is for pleasure
And pleasure is way out of hand
The time is right for getting out while we still can
Chickamauga's where I've been
Solitude is w...
Come, all you coalminers
Wherever you may be
And listen to the story
That I relate to thee
My name is nothing extra
But the truth to you I tell
I am a coalminer
And I'm sure, wish you well
I was born in old Kentucky
In a coal camp, born and bred
I know about old beans
Bulldog gravy and cornbread
I know how the miners work and slave
In the coalmines every day
For a dollar in the company store
F...
Doesn't matter what you've said
Or what you've done
When you've lost your head
You're looking for a new one
Your Heaven looks just like my Hell
Beautiful as far as I can tell
But your Heaven looks just like my Hell
Just as I drown
Then you say it's real
So I hold myself down
'Cause I like the way it feels
Your Heaven looks just like my Hell
Beautiful as far as I can tell
But your Heaven looks ...
We've got two kinds here
Those that bleed the blood and those that work to will it
Can't believe the big screen, there's no justice in the hall
We're all criminals waiting to be called
We've got shackles to keep the laws
Made by men who bought and sold themselves
With not a prayer to keep their powers at bay
They want us kinder and gentler at their feet
They say, "Don't step off the sidewalk a...
Do you remember, remember D.Boon?
Part of what he was is a part of me now
And if you think back, where would he be?
Where would I be if time had allowed?
This isn't written for any one man
It's about me
This isn't written for anyone alive
Just the songs that he sang
I've been told
That it's a waste of time
Well, so what
Will it be worth mine?
And if Managua's bullets don't fly
Young men still ...

these lines don't work on me
they won't on you
didn't knew the cards were on the table
just can't stand to see things turn out wrongno way to make things right
never promise anything anymore
so god damn hard to make it work
no easy way out of this one
always someone or something
to get lost in the shuffle
at least this road leads straight out of here
adversity is stable
and life in front of yo...
It's funny how it all works out
Mad men in suits walking about
I'd like to change your point of view someday
But I feel my patience slipping away
Looks like it's time to lay this burden down
Stop messing around
Don't want to go to the grave without a sound
Give this whole place a rest
Not to ride on the factory belt
Not to ride on the factory belt
You do all you can to just get by
With poison ...
Disengaged, we're forsaken now communication does suffer
The moral stare of big brother not a chance, no compromise
Battling the barrier of belief not to try anymore
Don't want to murder the only memory or hide
Try to accept that it's all worth while
When you've been disengaged, severed from any world that's mine
You can hang the blame on the wall
It'll be a frame around us all deluged by stic...
Don't the lights look empty
When the streets are bare
Almost as empty
As the look you give me
When I'm the only one
And it's a long one
So it brings you down
So you have nowhere else to go
And nothing to do
So you hang around, hang around
You wait around until
You've received that fatal wound
Columns of sunlight
And glorious cities
Oceans of opportunity
And all your decisions
Seem ancient
You ...
Watch it separate in two
Whatever the day wants it to
Findin' out that the worst is true
Findin' out that it can escape you
Slings and arrows completes the score
Always leavin', wantin' more
And I try to throw it away
Silver spikes and mace
Displayed in your eyes
Fearlessness, cannot fathom
What's on your mind?
Been there, no luck at all
Nothin' left to lose
Been there, no luck at all
Nothin' ...
Beer makes you weary
But you need something to get along
You stare at the flatness
Beside the dark home
They'll not hear you whisper
This isn't where it ends
Your hand holds a bottle
That has become your last and only friend
I've lost all hope
There's hope for you
If not just in the possibility
Of a better next day
If not just in the simple fact
There's no other way
You lie on that couch
And t...
Take my picture off the wall
It don't matter to me at all
Said I was headed for a fall
But you wanted me to crawl
Give back my TV
It don't mean that much to me
While you're giving back my things
Give me back the key to my heart
Give back the key to my heart
Give back the key to my heart
And let my love flow like a river
Straight into your heart, dear
Well, you say I was the one
To blame for th...

Hometown, same town blues same old walls closin' in
Oh what a life a mess can be
I'm sittin' here thinkin' of you, won't you give
A few thoughts to me
Well, time won't wait, better open the gate
Get up and start what needs to be done
It's windin' down, there's much you missed
Workin' on that graveyard shift
Well, I'm not sayin' there's nothin' wrong as the day comes along
What I see is true I ...
If you find yourself standing
At the end of your line
Looking for a piece of something
Maybe a piece of mind
Fed up, lost, and run down
Nowhere to hold on
Tired of, take your place at the end son
We'll get to you one by one
No light ever shines
Dead end tears that dry
Maybe a waste of words and time
Never a waste of life
Every hour will be spent
Filling a quota, just getting along
Handcuffs hu...
Falling out the window
Tripping on a wrinkle in the rug
Falling out of love, dear
It hurt much worse when you gave up
Just don't tell me which way I oughta run
Or what good I could do anyone
'Cause my heart, it was a gun
But it's unloaded now so don't bother
Climbing up the ladder
Breaking my shin on the very first rung
Waking up the neighbors
It's all right, they understand they're just as du...
Try to face up to the blinding sun
Racing for the final word to come
Facing up, it's hard to stay devout
I can see the sand and it's running out
And it's running out
We quote each other only when we're wrong
We tear out the threads and move along
We can't seem to find common ground
I can see the sand and it's running out
It was only circumstances
But it's the difference, it gets in the way
No ...
Well I took a fifth, and I poured me a shot
And I thought about all the things that I haven't got
And I drank that down, and I poured me some more
Kept drinking and pouring till I felt the floor
I got drunk and I fell down
I got drunk and I fell down
Another slow day in this damn town
Keep asking yourself "why am I still hangin' around?"
You spend half your time just staring into a beer
Oh, wh...
