The Avett Brothers Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Live and Die (Single)

I think this is it, please correct me if I'm wrong

All it will take is just one moment and
you can say goodbye to how we had it planned
Fear like a habit run like a rabbit out and away
through the screen door to the unknown

and I want to love you and more
I want to find you and more
can you tell that I
am alive let me prove it.

You and I we're the same
live and die we're the same
hear my voice know my name
you and I we're the same

Live like a pharaoh
sing like a sparrow anyway
even if there is no land or love in sight
we bloom like roses lead like moses out and away
through the bitter crowd to the daylight

and I want to love you and more
I want to find you and more
can you tell that I
am alive let me prove it to ya.

You and I we're the same
live and die we're the same
you rejoice I complain
but you and I we're the same
live and die we're the same
you and I we're the same
hear my voice know my name
you and I we're the same

I want to love you and more
I want to find you and more
where do you reside
when you hide how can I find ya
cause I wanna save you and more
I wanna tempt you and more
can you tell that I am alive let me prove it

You and I we're the same
live and die we're the same
you rejoice I complain
but you and I we're the same
live and die we're the same
you and I we're the same
hear my voice know my name
you and I
you and I


2.I Love

Lyricist:Tom Hall

I love little baby ducks
Old pickup trucks
Slow movin' trains
And rain

I love little country streams
Sleep without dreams
Sunday school in May
And hay

And I love you too

I love leaves in the wind
Pictures of my friends
Birds of the world
And squirrels

I love coffee in a cup
Little fuzzy pups
Bourbon in a glass
And grass

And I love you too

I love honest open smiles
Kisses from a child
Tomatoes on the vine
And onions

I love winner's when they cry
Loser's when they try
Music when it's good
And life

And I love you too
And I love you too


3.Spanish Pipedream

Lyricist:Jeffrey Bradford Kent, John Prine

She was a level headed dancer on the road to alcohol
And I was just a soldier on the way to Montreal
Well, she pressed her chest against me
About the time the jukebox broke
She gave me a peck on the back of the neck
And these are the words she spoke

Blow up your T.V., throw away your paper
Move to the country, build you a home
Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
Try to find Jesus on your own

So I sat there at the table and I acted real naive
'Cause I knew that topless lady
Had something up her sleeve
Well, she danced around the bar room
And she did the hoochy-coo
She sang her song all night long, tellin' me what to do

Blow up your T.V., throw away your paper
Move to the country, build you a home
Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
Try to find Jesus on your own

Well, I was young and hungry and about to leave that place
When just as I was leavin', well she looked me in the face
I said, 'You must have the answer'
'She said, 'No but I'll give it a try'
And to this very day we've been livin' our way
And here is the reason why

We blew up our T.V., threw away our paper
Moved to the country, built us a home
Had a lot of children, fed 'em on peaches
They all found Jesus on their own

Blow up your T.V., throw away your paper
Move to the country, build you a home
Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
Try to find Jesus on your own


4.Dancing Daze

I've seen the way you deal with things
The troubles that this life will bring
If it gets to you then I can tell by the way you sing
You act like it just doesn't mean a thing

I see you dancin' all your, dancin' all you, dancin' all your
daze
Maybe you can tell me how it is you got that way
Dancing all your, dancing all your, dancing all your daze
Come on, come on there's got to be a way

There's all these things that get me down
This dirty world is full of clowns
They'll build you up just so they can knock you down
Laugh at you while your there on the ground

But not you
I see you dancin' all your, dancin' all you, dancin' all your
daze
Maybe you can tell me how it is you got that way
Dancing all your, dancing all your, dancing all your daze
Come on, come on there's got to be a way

I really like the way it feels
I look at you and it's real

I see you dancin' all your, dancin' all you, dancin' all your
daze
Maybe you can tell me how it is you got that way
Dancing all your, dancing all your, dancing all your daze
Come on, come on that's got to be the way


5.Wanted Man

Bullet in my shoulder
Blood running down my vest
Twenty in the posse
And they're never gonna let me rest

'Till I became a wanted man
Well, I never even owned a gun
Now they own me like a mountain cat
And I'm always on the run

Well I killed poor Jed Bryce
In a bad Laredo fight
I killed him with my bare hands
For the girl I loved that night

Jed's brothers out to get me
He's coming with his gang
And I'd rather shoot it out by God
Than let them watch me hang

Bullet in my shoulder
Blood running down my vest
Twenty in the posse
And they're never gonna let me rest

'Till I became a wanted man
Well, I never even owned a gun
Now they own me like a mountain cat
And I'm always on the run

She had spangles on her wedding dress
She had laughter in her voice
And when I tried to put my hands on her
My heart left me no choice

Now was she really worth it
I guess I'll never know
She'll be drinking someone else's rye
When I'm six feet below

Bullet in my shoulder
Blood running down my vest
Twenty in the posse
And they're never gonna let me rest

'Till I became a wanted man
Well, I never even owned a gun
Now they own me like a mountain cat
And I'm always on the run
