1.
Davey stood alone staring down his rivals Thought he was a saint with a made up Bible Itching with his finger twitching in the breeze Trying to stand up tall on his shaky knees Get it right, get it right Right at home Staring down the side of a beat up Dodge Tried to make his home in a burned out lodge Couldn’t get to right with a broken left Brought up on a charge of inciting theft Get it right, get it right Right at home
2.
Take your time, but not too long Taking your time when you know it’s running out Sing your song, with different lines Saying what’s wrong when you know you’re never right Singing your song when you’re pushing for a fight It’s a lot to love Try your best to stay above Faking when you’re breaking down Faking when you’re breaking down again Change your mind, but not what’s right Changing your mind in the middle of the night Walking on out when you’re crazy from the fight
3.
When we was young and high, we thought we’d never die But you know… When we was so in love, we couldn’t get enough of... But you know… People get lonely Back when we kept in touch, we had our share of too much We laughed and swore to fight, and never said goodnight But you know… People get lonely Now we get lost in time, forget what’s on our minds But you know.. People get lonely
4.
She came in fast and she came on heavy She had a penchant for the drama show She took a bookie in a broken Chevy She took him down and then she let him go Once you see her, you’re gonna wish you’d had it slow And like a player in a lonely story She had to wait to see the stormy end And when she woke up in a copper quarry She found herself with a funny friend Once you see her, you’re gonna wish you’d had it slow And when it’s all you got then it’s all you know And when it’s all you got then it’s something you show Once you see her, you’re gonna wish you’d had it slow

Summer Girls 03:42
Rachel, you wear it well From your cowboy boots, to your old blue bells So you spin, and you spin, and you spin Like a bird getting caught in the wind And Angie, you come complete From your ringlet curls, to your dirty feet And you sing, and you sing, and you sing Like you can’t really hear anything I’ve been waiting for a while Catching glimpses, winks and smiles Hold my interest for too long And she’s gone And Sarah, don’t you look so sad You had it all, but it’s all gone bad So you cry, and you cry, and you cry While the world that you had’s going by And baby, don’t you compromise The love you had’s coming back and it might Do you well, do you well, do you well And it might but now I’ll never tell ‘Cause you wear it well ooooh oooh ooh
6.
Isn’t it a pity How quickly you can fall apart? Stumbling through your city Falling down before you start And isn’t it funny How people let your down? They always give you money Though you can’t seem to come around And you try to see what you don’t believe But you can’t and you must agree You’ve had a warped reality And isn’t it crazy How lucky some folks really are Pushing through the daisies Digging deeper than than you are And have you ever noticed You are always all alone Holding on but hopeless Homeward-bound but never home And you try to see what you don’t believe But you can’t and you must agree You’ve had a warped reality
7.
Baby, I got something on my mind And maybe we’ll put something on the line And when it’s time, we’ll toe the line If I told you there’s a better way to fly Would you go through all the stories we could try? If you saw it would you reach across the line? Would you take it, if it brought a better life? And when it’s time, we’ll toe the line All this time I’ve waited Holding, hesitating to try Always lost, frustrated But all this time it’s always been nearby So baby, if you wanna give a try I’ll be waiting on the sunny, golden side And when it’s time, we’ll toe the line
8.
Hanging out, ‘cause nothing’s doing It’s all about somebody else Push away and dewey’s stewing Crying out ‘bout broken belts I’ll be waiting for you Broken glass and hustlers pushing All the right buttons & brass Feeling out just what you’re doing Coming in for faster kills I’ll be waiting for you
9.
Angelina 04:27
Angelina, what’s in the back of your mind? The space between us, deeper and wider with time? Oooooh... Angelina, is it like this every time? Have you seen it work out without losing ties? When you’re running away, falling in love I’ll be around when you fall from above Oh, I’ll be around Looks like love fades in time... When you’re running away, falling in love I’ll be around when you fall from above Oh, I’ll be around When you’re running away, wasting your life I’ll be around when you’re changing your mind Oh, I’ll be around Oh, I’ll be around ...and I’ll bring you down.

She had a scar on her cheek, she had a rip in her dress But when she walked down the street, she could hide the rest ‘Cause when you’re down on your knees There’s no time for rest She had a place they could meet, she had a regular guest And when he called up to see, she played it close to her chest ‘Cause when you’re down on your knees There’s no time for rest *I’m sure you’ve heard it before, I’m sure you’ve heard the rest I’m sure you’ve heard it before, you know what’s coming next ‘Cause when you’re down on your knees There’s no time for rest She had some time she could meet, she had some things on her chest He had some guilt he couldn’t beat, he had a ring ‘round his neck ‘Cause when you’re down on your knees There’s no time for rest
11.
Mama, how you holding up today? Are you quiet ‘cause there’s nothing left to say? Or is everyday a battle? Is there nothing I can do? Get some time and get yourself away Are you crying, with your conscience on the shelf? Or lying when you’re talking to yourself? Or is everyday a battle? Is there nothing I can do? Get some time and get yourself away Or is everyday a battle? Is there nothing I can do? Get some time and get yourself away Are you far enough away?
12.
High, but lonely still Spent, and hard to fill And you float away… Caught, but falling fast Here, but in the past And you run away… And you always will...and you always will. Bright, but dimming still Gone with poison pills And you fade away…
