1.Tear Down The House
Tear down the house that I grew up in.
Iâll never be the same again.
Take everything that Iâve collected,
and throw it in a pile.
Bulldoze the woods that I ran through.
Carry the pictures of me and you.
I have no memory of who I once was,
and I donât remember your name.
Park the old car that I love the best.
Inspectionâs due and it wonât pass the test.
Itâs funny how I have to put it to rest,
and how one day I will join it.
I remember crying over you,
and I donât mean like a couple of tears and Iâm blue.
Iâm talking about collapsing and screaming at the moon,
but Iâm a better man for having gone through it.
Yes, Iâm a better man for having gone through.
Ever since I learned how to curse.
Iâve been using those sorry old words.
But Iâm talking to these children and Iâm keeping it clean.
I donât need those words to say what I mean.
No, I donât need those words to say what I mean
Tear down the house that I grew up in.
Iâll never be the same again.
Take everything that I used to own,
and burn it in a pile
Bulldoze the woods that I ran through.
Carry the pictures of me and you.
I have no memory of who I once was,
and I donât remember your name.
2.Murder In The City
If I get murdered in the city
Don？t go revenging in my name
One person dead from such is plenty
No need to go get locked away
When I leave your arms
The things I think of
No need to get over alarmed
I？m coming home
I wonder which brother is better
Which one our parents loved the most
I sure did get in lots of trouble
They seemed to let the other go
A tear fell from my father？s eye
I wondered what my dad would say
He said, ？I love you and I？m proud of you both,
In so many different ways？
If I get murdered in the city
Go read the letter in my desk
Don？t bother with all my belongings
Pay attention to the list
Make sure my sister knows I love her
Make sure my mother knows the same
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name
3.Bella Donna
Baby, I asked you not to keep me waiting.
I told you now to keep me waiting.
Now the afternoon is fading on.
Donna, Bella Donna have you seen me？
Have you ever really seen me
Like I want for you to see me now？
Lonesome like you were when you were sixteen.
When maybe even I weren't listening.
Did I help when I was kissing you？
Donna, Bella Donna are you listening？
And were you ever really listening
Like I want for you to listen now？
4.The Greatest Sum
Listen, who I used to be
Don't matter much at all to me.
To pin you down, to plant your feet's
a far cry from my destiny.
Not even the clouds,
Not even the past,
Not even the hands of God
could hold back from you.
Dark and lonely is the ride,
the devil always by my side.
Though no match for what lies between
the thought of you,
your trust for me.
Not even the sun,
A bullet from a gun,
No, nothing that this world could bring or
Anything someone could do
Could hold me back from you.
No can of gold placed in my hand,
the largest find,
the greatest sum.
Though some would say
It'd ease our pain,
We know that it can't be done.
Not even the sun,
Not even the clouds.
Not even the past,
No, nothing that this world can bring or anything someone can
do,
Could hold me back from you.
Could hold me back from you.
Could hold me back from you.
5.St. Joseph's
We spent the night at St. Josephs
Shaking and shivering in fever
Nurses and criminals before us
I will stay here with you, my love
We sat at Lake Junaluska
Cried over where we would wed
If itâs this place or any other
Itâs not where I am itâs who Iâm with
News came of a child
Born unto a world
Of people demented and wild
I will be here for you, my love
What was our reason for fighting？
Selfish and centered at best
I give up on trying
To understand why we were blessed
Weâll spend the night at St. Josephs.
6.Souls Like The Wheels
Souls like the wheels
Turning, taking us with wind at our heels
Burning, making us decide on what weâre giving
Change this way of living
One little song
Give me strength to the leave the sad and the wrong
Bury safely in the past where Iâve been living
Alive but unforgiving
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
One little girl
Bring me life from where I thought it was dark
Be the spark that has a chance to light the candle
Love that I can handle
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
Souls like the wings
Spreading out away from bad memories
Make us capable of taking off and landing
Alive with understanding
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
