A couple odd years ago. A point in my life. I knew I needed something more than distant highway light. A lifelong love was over. She's talked me through the night. She said you might go get some standards and they just might treat you right. So I thought long and hard and put it all away. I packed everything I had but the bottles and the keg. It's didn't even start to fill my old Chevy pickup. We went rolling down the road to leave the darker days behind.

My baby loves me. My baby's down. My baby loves me all over town…..

Moved up from the valley. Met theses guys and shook a leg. Tried to write a brighter song and lighten up my head. Now the songs they come out clearly and the future's bright ahead. I still live to bring it down each night but I'll use my blues instead.

My baby loves me. My baby's down. My bay loves me….. All over town.

Were never slowin' down….

So good night baby and know I will be there, With so much on the line I didn't ever mean to sound like I don't care About your heartstrings and the way they caught my But sometimes it's easier to move along than to bear it all in time

In this goddamn place…

So if you had to do it all again. Just what would you say. Would you walk proud in your flow day to day or would you remember your own pain. Cuz there's more than one way Yeah there's more than one way to fly away

from this god damn place, where more than a few good souls have lost their way…

Truth like a bastartd comes into the world. Your depth when ungrounded just leaves you miserable. Lazy man won't you shake those bones. For all that self oppression and all those nights spent home alone.

I Gotta get it right now…

She lay down and rest her weary legs. He forget to leave and kiss her worried head. Off somewhere where the angel's tread. Gone so long and she's still missin him.

Sweet delerium, always here for me. Stardust digger pine, that I love to climb. Oneday - release me and I just might get it right……

High upon the wall of the place we used to live. It still smells like weed and cigarettes. She hopes oneday I might be done with all this. Like I'll wake up … and get it right.

Sweet delerium, always here for me. Stardust digger pine, that I love to climb. Oneday - release me and I just might get it right……

I gotta get it right now…

In the blink of an eye. It'll move right along. Big City River run wide and run hazy. For all the trouble it'll help you along but always remind you of change. There are so many mirrors how could it be. I'm expected to swim with no sight of the shore. We just try to sing and bathe in the pressure. We let it right in and it comes back for more.

A trinket you buy, shimmer and sparkle. How gently it sways on your mind. In the end when I'm at the end of a shovel. I still don't think that I'll mind. There are so many mirrors, how could it be. Big city River run through me like crazy. For all the trouble it's given us these songs. We let 'em right in, there never gone long.

In the blink of an eye it'll move right along. Big City River run wide and run hazy.
