Concerning us
Concerning you concerning him
Never pity the fool
See what's broken
See the white branches
Seeing what laughs
What hurts
These last chances

Drink of choice
Swig of love
Let's finish first
What we never begun
Half-again <

I was thinkin' of us
In that drunk hotel
They lost your message at the desk
I found you dancin' in the hall

Diamond circles
Another well-timed parade
Home, is where I take you back
When you haven't left a trace

Shut my eyes
So I could let you go <

A stranger came
To this forsaken place
To shake me from my whiskey guilt
To cure my tremblin' ways

Now there is not a door
That I will not kick down
No lock I will not break
No guilty verdict found
Ever since you been around

You won't believe the

I could hear you callin'
Through the whisperin' woods
I could hear you call my name
from the back porch door

Said Prosper come here quick
It's worse than we expected it
Found him this mornin'
And the news ain't good
Finally caught up with him last night

A life full of holes, a life full of wind
The devil's dust it blows through me again
Don't look for me, I ain't easy to find
The Barbary trail is where I've gone to hide
That's where I go to hide

Me and Reeves walk down to the square
Rings of fire burnin' everywhe

New love ends
What the old love begins
Close your eyes, close your eyes
And old love condemns .
What I still can't pretend
Close your eyes, close your eyes
The heart 15 a fortress
The bricks are made of earth
Show me which one to pry

Tell me which o

Caught when our center was broken
Caught when our troubles were true
On a three state run, from the merciless sun
We ripped up the letters from home

Caught on the barbed wire fences
Caught in the bones and the thorns
Caught in these arms, we will never go wrong

The world is turning, I hope it don't turn away
The world is turning, I hope it don't turn away
All my pictures are falling
From the wall where I placed them yesterday
The world is turning, I hope it don't turn away

I need a crowd of people, but I can't face them day t

My little runaround
Where have you been
I know things are better up there
but I will not leave again
No need to lay it on there
'cause I don't care that much
nothing is worth loving out there
greed has a losers touch

Oh the ragged birds are crying
A

I keep thinkin' that she's goin' down
My second sight a fixed on her demise
A slow and silent stretch, broods like the riverbed
Swirlin' round the big and muddy rise

Sulfur colored lights, and frozen rays
Lighin' up the streets behind the bar
The lights are weak a

This ain't the time to be reasonable
Can't put much stock in that now
Yhe storm front it hangs, a silence gone strange
Can't put much stock in that now
Storm gone crazy
Storm gone night
This is the time to follow me blind
Or follow me over the side

Learn them numbers quick
17 to 1
Learn them numbers quick
They're the best odds we will get

I know suspicions have
Finally been aroused
A fate so simple that
Ain't no way I'm turnin' back

Trouble came cheap
But left expensive
Trouble came hom

I'm convinced this whole thing ends
In a crash of common sense
In an avalanche of accidents
Premonitions of what's already been

The good news first
I ain't ready for the worst
I ain't ready for the hurt
Give the good news first

You're bleedin' every he

The sunset reaches to you
With its long talons
The new stars showin' pity
For the fallen
It drags you back up to your feet
Leaves you ready to deceive
Leaves you standing at the silent crossing

Telephone poles race against the cold sky
Your rusty hair co

I got a message from the king
A column of smoke center on the screen
Out came face that I recognized
And no disguise would have changed a thing

And the sun never shines
No the sun will never shine
No, the sun will never shine
Where I am going

I had to

Don't ask for favors
And don't risk the truth
My fingers are scissors
They're cutting you through

Cutting you through
Cutting you through
Velvet fog

The bird in my open hand
Is a captive for life
Please don't misread now
We're drinkin' happy

I am a lineman for the county
And I walk the main road
Searchin' in the sun for another overload
I can hear you through in the wires,
I can hear you through the whine

And the Wichita Lineman
Is still on the line

I know I need a small vacation,
But it d
