Outlaws and Angels

We all know, and we’re fine with it,
We ain’t afraid of dyin’
Proud and loyal hearts are true
We’ve got a twisted mausoleum with a fully stocked bar
And a candle lit table for two
The highway lost to most we found it
Torch lit high we ride
It’s a dark road we’re riding my friends
Where the cold caskets gravely descend
All guns still blazing, conscious suicide
Outlaws and Angels
Brazen we ride
We stand up in the saddle
Facin’ trouble like insane men
Laughin’ as we roll off to war
Intense amount of love, small amount of hate
Hope won’t fade away
Standing by our brothers with the unmarked graves
For freedom, more than happy to pay
The highway lost to most we found it
Torch lit high we ride

Anarchy Road

I'm not needin’ you around
Always making do without you
I'm proving independence
From everyone
If there's a way to do it wrong
You can bet your life
I'll find it
I’m broken tired and bored
(and it's)
It's welling up in you
It's swelling up in me
One liberated heart still beating
Anarchic
Born a juvenile at heart
Just a derelict behind you
Offending Everyone
For the thought (Fuck) of it
All we'll be is who we are
Lost forever in a moment
This dim lit fire's still warm

Nowhere

She's in love with a man that I wish I could be
But who he is I don't know at all
She said I'm not just leaving you behind
Somewhere it's better than here
We both need some time to breathe
Fighting this ain't getting us nowhere
Run off to nowhere and see for yourself
Nowhere ain't better than here
I'll be here waiting when you come on home
I'll always miss you my dear
She turned and she ran as she waved back to me
Setting her sights on tomorrow
There's somewhere we're both meant to find
It's the last time I'm turning around
Don't sit here waiting for me
I'm heading southbound to nowhere
Run off to nowhere and see for yourself
Nowhere it's better than here
I won't be here waiting when you come on home
But I'll always miss you my dear
I'm still here waiting, please come on home
I'll always miss you my dear

Trouble's gonna come round Friday night
She'll be carrying a loaded heartache
Aimin’ her pistol for the prize
The trouble with honor is someone's bound to fight for it
Welcome to our lives
We honky tonk all weekend where the whiskey brings the fighting boys
From a simpler time
Where guitars ring with southern style and the cowgirls come to dance all night
Southern Girls n Fighting Boys
Southern Girls n Fighting Boys
Bottled up courage, prone to fight
It draws a line and walks the rowdy to the light
Stead or not you're bound to find us
Carrying on, we raise our voices through the night
Singin'...

Legends

We came from this small town that no one’s ever leaving
With dirt roads and wide open plains
The summer nights we owned, near a kingdom we believe in
On truck beds we’d drink by the lakes
As the young girls age, and your taste in the radio fades
So in love we’d stay, with it all
Home worth fighting for, heaven just a way to define it all
We hoped that summer lasted all our lives
The young getting older, a generation changes
The face of what we knew began to fade
Like creeks from the ocean, eventually they're leaving
Dirt came and went ore the plains
As the young girls aged, and our taste on the radio fades,
So in love we stay, with it all
Home worth fighting for, heaven just a way to define it all
We hoped that summer lasted all our lives
We were kids on the way to the lakes, the redneck elite on the shores
And we hoped that summer lasted all our lives
And we hoped that summer lasted all our lives

Cricket Bows

We chose this bottle over friends and family
To systematically erase our minds
Headed for the bottom met some kindred along the ride
Found out a little bout a life size heartache
We left some lovers on a 10 high stand
Turns out forever ain’t a real big part of time
We fought as one
All we ever stood for we wore it like armor on our hearts and lungs
We’d shout and come up swinging back to brother side to savior
Open arms
These strungout broken angels with cricket bows and golden harps
We lost some brethren on a long dark highway
Somewhere in heaven hell it ain’t that far
We’ll all sing Journey after last call at the bar
We fought as one
All we ever stood for we wore it like armor on our hearts and lungs
We’d shout and come up swinging back to brother side to savior
Open arms
These strungout broken angels with cricket bows and golden harps

Shut Your Mouth

I walk this earth alone, me n Jesus
We talked all night bout love and what it meant
He said “oh my son all the answers lie here waiting”
oh my Lord I said “just let it go, let it ride
hold your head up high and
Shut your mouth I'm drinking
And I don’t need your help
I’ll be fine with one more round
Get your hands off me
I don’t need to be redeemed
Since she’s gone my train ain’t glory bound
Since I lost her love, my world has been a spiral
When I’d lose my way, she’d call to reel me in
Now my phone don’t ring and this barstools been my ally
The barkeep says “my God just let it go, let it ride
And hold your head up high”
Shut your mouth I'm drinking
And I don’t need your help
I’ll be fine with one more round
Get your hands off me
I don’t need to be redeemed
Since she’s gone my train ain’t glory bound

Curva Peligrosa
04:20

I rode all day, far down the Mexican way,
Found myself an old cantina.
Dusty to the bone, I made the barstool my home &
I drank myself four fingers of tequila.
I was thinkin’ about a dame and this heart filled with pain
As the worm it started taking its effect
What else could I say, well my heartache went away,
And I began to scan the room for a prospect.
It's a curva peligrosa
You know you shouldn't go so fast.
Curva peligrosa,
You know you gotta make this last.
Then the music changed its tempo, as the lights went down,
There she stood a brown haired senorita.
Her body how it moved, so consumed within a groove
She danced around me slow as I got wasted.
I was thinking what to say, what kind of lie I would portray
To take this fine young thing up to the sack
She walked across the floor, I through my eyes toward the door,
That's when I felt her arms around my back.
Curva Peligrosa
You know you shouldn't go so fast.
Curva peligrosa,
You know you've gotta make this last.
It took less than half an hour, fore' every song they played was ours,
I talked her into heading for the trail
I held her close, I held her tight, as we sank into the night
Imagine if you will this sordid tale
As I finally nodded off, I dreamed of la Chiquita, smiling as she climbed on top,
Right then I awoke, Lord I found that I was broke,
She’d run off with my wallet and my watch

Halo
03:16
|
|||
|
I’d been tryin’ to catch your eye
For a while when you looked up
You saw me right away
Your cherub look set fire to me
Confused about the hooves
But taken just the same
Let your halo, Fall from your head
You can hang your angel wings, On the headboard of my bed
Take a long breath, Then shut out the night
As the devil wraps his arms around you, Hold on tight
Well I’m not fond of takin’ time
It took an hour to pick you up
Tempered forty days
For forty nights we rode that feral
Horse to break it right
On sheet like open plains
Let your halo, Fall from your head
You can hang your angel wings, On the headboard of my bed
Take a long breath, Then shut out the night
As the devil wraps his arms around you, Hold on tight
Now I believe in the devil and the legends had it right
The stories from the saints
Listen up you sinners
She’s alive and well tonight,
With halo, hooves and wings

Violet Best

A scene we'll call someday
You're dressed in your violet
Best to look fragile when harboring faint malice
Thought I'd wake up to find you
Burning my things
or shaving my heart out
with your cutlery tongue
Your fiery eyes steady, so calm
Undoubtedly sure of yourself
How about us?
We now turn to one day
Awaken alarmed
As we turn to lyin'
To ourselves
Maybe your mind it just started a war
One that your heart ain't eager to fight in
Undoubtedly sure of yourself
How about us?
We were young, we were kids, we didn't know what we wanted
Drinkin’. Fightin’ the world, so in love with a girl
I was young it was almost the 80's, I watched my daddy go down,
To the corner bar humming such colorful sounds
We were dancing the bottle was leading the waltz
They were swaying like rays of the sun
Young and wild that's the way I remember it now
Young and wild that's the way I remember it now
Sure of yourself
Sure of yourself
How about us?
A scene we'll call someday
You're dressed in your violent
Best to look fragile
