1.The Long Way
Met a child of the Cosmos
On the streets of Kanab
He pointed the way and
Answered the questions I had
But a short cut through Utah
Doesn't really exist
It'll send you through a mountain
And out a hole in a cliff
Left Flagstaff in the morning
To make Salt Lake by night
Driving across the moon
Hoping that it's right
Went into a fog
Near the state line
But didn't care much
About losing time
It's true a wrong turn
Can put you in a wrong place
But it could lead to
A way cooler space
You'll never have a bad trip
If you accept
The twists and the turns
That you don't expect
On Highway 80
Just out of the hills
Hit something slick
About took a spill
On the plateau
In snow axle deep
Still got to Rock Springs
In time for some sleep
Been a mile high
For nearly a week
But it'll wear off
Under twelve hundred feet
Coming down soon
Traveling I-35
Playing songs and
Glad to be alive
It's true a wrong turn
Can put you in a wrong place
But it could lead to
A way cooler space
You'll never have a bad trip
If you accept
The twists and the turns
That you don't expect
2.Shame On Me
I'm never gonna waste another day
No I'm never gonna waste another day
But she knows I will anyway
Yes she knows I will anyway
Never gonna tell another lie
No I'm never gonna tell another lie
But she knows I will by and by
Yes she knows I will by and by
chorus：
Shame on me
Shame on me
It might be wise
To look in her eyes
And see the shame on me
I'm never gonna start another fight
No I'm never gonna start another fight
But she knows that I might
Yes she knows that I might
I never want her knowin' me this well
No I never want her knowin' me this well
But she knows that's dumb as hell
Yeah she knows that's dumb as hell
chorus
I never want to lose her company
No I never want to lose her company
She knows who holds that key
Yes she knows who holds that key
chorus
3.Nothin' But A Driver
All day long I'm drivin'
On your quest for luxury
I pull up to your dealer
And he hands your keys to me
Keys to me
Keys to me
You never think about me
I don't know who you are
I readjust your mirrors
As I drive off in your car
In your car
In your car
Gold packages with pinstripes
Lips of shiny chrome
Things that make a Navigator
And a DTS a home
Make it home
Make it home
chorus：
I'm nothin' but a driver
That's all I want to be
Pickup and deliver
Well that's good enough for me
In your Cadillacs and Lincolns
All day long I ride
Happy with a wage
That might lead you to suicide
Suicide
Suicide
Am I happier than you are
No way for me to know
I know I love to drive your cars
And see how fast they go
Fast they go
Fast they go
chorus x 2
4.Hard Times
Amount Due 84
Been delinquent a week or more
What'll they'll do？
Guess I'm gonna see
Amount due 108
They're just gonna have to wait
I'd send it if I had it
And I will eventually
Hard times ain't nothin'
Hard times pass
I ain't broke down
I'm just outta gas
Hard times, that's easy
Here I go again
Hard times do not do me in
I've been here before
I'll be here some more
Just 'cause I'm broke now
Doesn't mean I'm poor
When my cash gets thin
Just take it on the chin
Shake it off and
Let the games begin
Hard times ain't nothin'
Hard times pass
I ain't broke down
I'm just outta gas
Hard times, that's easy
Here I go again
Hard times do not do me in
Hard times ain't nothin'
Hard times pass
I ain't broke down
I'm just outta gas
Hard times, that's easy
Here I go again
Hard times do not do me in
Hard times do not do me in
5.Done It All
Woke up a little stronger
Yesterday's buzzin' round my head
Little girl in the corner
Four-legged friends messin' up my bed
chorus：
And I know
It's a feelin'
I get when I look in the mirror
And staring back
Is the reason
I just can't seem to get myself off the floor
And I know
I've done it all before
Today's a little colder
Can't seem to quit seein' red
The days are gettin' shorter
All I want to do
Just eaves my head
chorus
Got home a little later
Dunno why but I just did
I feel a little weaker
Got toothpicks holdin' up my lids
chorus
6.Open Your Eyes
Opened up my eyes to join celebrations
Understand the truths of love and patience
Got a lot to know without hesitation... with you
Wasting all that time with good intentions
Think about those days of blurred perception
Who I live for now is no longer a question... it's you
And it's all because of you
Everything for you is true
There's nothing I would rather do
And it's all because of you
Everything for you is true
There's nothing I would rather do
Opened up my eyes to fear and rejection
Through the error of trials and learned my lessons
Doing all I can to make a connection
And it's all because of you
Everything for you is true
There's nothing I would rather do
And it's all because of you
Everything for you is true
There's nothing I would rather do
7.Kid Next Door
The kid next door
The kid next door
Now he ain't coming home no more
I watched him grow
I watched he go
Now he ain't coming home no more
He was a high school football star
And that boy really loved his car
I still can hear that loud hip hop
As was coming down the block
Remember there in my garage
In his desert camouflage
He told me not to worry none
He'd be back when his work was done
The kid next door
The kid next door
Now he ain't coming home no more
I watched him grow
I watched he go
Now he ain't coming home no more
8.Way It Used To Be
The birds have all gone south
Ever since you've gone
Been two thousand days
Ever since you've gone
There's still a memory
Hangin' out around the barn
Of the way it used to be
chorus：
Way it used to be
Oh the way it used to be
I can still remember it just fine
But the things that bother me
Are the things no one can see
And it's hard to see them coming from behind
Think I'll go in the Navy
Think I'll get me a career
Think I'll get my G.E.D.
It's become quite apparent
There ain't nothin' around here
But the way it used to be
Chorus
9.Get On The Bus
Another long day's work is through
There's still one thing I got to do
Get on the bus
Ride back home to you
You got the car so I can't drive
Take my dollar seventy five
Wait on the corner
For my chariot to arrive
The bummed change riders with their sacks of wine
The young sharp dressed ecological kind
We all get on the bus
Take it on down the line
Raindrops fallin' on our head
The stop we use ain't got no shed
Hope we all dry out
Before we go to bed
Half way on board still gettin' wet
Behind the lady with the stubbed out cigarette
Who hasn't found
Her jury voucher yet
The bummed change riders with their sacks of wine
The young sharp dressed ecological kind
We all get on the bus
Take it on down the line
Headphones cell phones transfers passes
Wheelchairs groceries lost sunglasses
Some look crazy most look bored
Wanna get off just pull that cord
On and off 'tween here and there
If we look pitiful we don't care
All we're tryin' to do
Is get somewhere
The bummed change riders with their sacks of wine
The young sharp dressed ecological kind
We all get on the bus
Take it on down the line
We all get on the bus
Take it on down the line
We all get on the bus
Take it on down the line
10.Slip Away
Runnin' late
Runnin' behind
Like to catch up
But really don't mind
Makin' our way
While I find
A moment with you
To steal some time
Laugh with me
Kiss with me
We call this lover's poetry
Stay with me
lay with me
Escape today's reality
chorus：
Come on girl
What do they say
They wish they could feel this way
Give me that smile
Give me that look
Slip me your hand and we'll slip away
Runnin' late
Runnin' behind
I'd like to catch up
But really don't mind
Makin' 'em wait
While I find
A moment with you
To steal some time
11.Solitaire
I put down three of a kind
Pick up a diamond
Try to get my hearts in a row
You go through the motions
Like you're playin'
There's times I just don't know
chorus：
Here we are
Together as ever
Just can't belive that you're all there
Seems all we ever do is play gin rummy
You think you're playing solitaire
You want me to deal
And make it snappy
You don't know I always let you win
I only ever wanted to make you happy
Nowadays you just won't let me in
chorus
I play the game the way I learned it
You don't seem to care for those old rules
You cheat and win
Grin like you earned it
Am I sick or am I just your fool
chorus
12.Give Me Room
Take a look at this
I don't see much I'd miss
And now is not a minute too soon
When you hear that 'ol V-8
Start to growl and vibrate
You better shift your wait
And give me room
It don't take much to see
That I'm out of place and time
So you just read the signs and sing the tune
Won't say I told you so
When I get the urge to go
I hope you know you better
Give me room
Could drive this car into the ground
Round and round this 'ol town
But that just ain't the thing I've got to prove
When those miles are rollin' by
You will never hear me cry
You know why you better
Give me room
It don't take too much to see
That I'm out of place and time
So you just read the signs and sing the tune
I've got a fiddle and a bow
And the only thing I know
Is I don't need a razor or a spoon
Just a time-tried machine
A tank of gasoline
You know what I mean
You better give me room
