Lyrics

Off The Rails

 

Living on a train is a hard way to travel
Chugging right along with no stop on your mind
And I can still hear you whistle in the distance
*Whistle*

And come Sunday service they talked about oceans
Wonder if you made it that far
Always had to move to your own locomotion
Left a box town for a box car

Couldn’t keep you
Off the rails

We stayed up too late now I wake up too early
Still make myself coffee for two
‘Cause you’re not coming back and I’m stuck here thinking
‘Bout the tracks you laid down behind you

Off the rails
Off the rails

And I know you’re sitting on the West coast
Watching the sun set alone
I can’t quit missing you and you got room for two
There’s no reason that I should stay

Off the rails
You can’t keep me
Off the rails

Living on a train is a hard way to travel
Chugging right along with no stop on my mind
And I can still hear you whistle in the distance
*Whistle*

My Goodbye

I hope she’s pretty
I hope she’s smart
I hope she likes to trace her fingers ‘round your heart
I hope she knows it
Knows what she got.
I know she’ll love ya and never want to stop

This is my goodbye
My we ran out of time
But maybe hold onto a picture for once in a while
This is my goodbye
My I don’t want to cry
But most of all I want you to be happy
But maybe if you have the time
Can I cross your mind?

I hope you hold her
And look in her eyes
I hope you show her what it means to be alive
I hope you see her
The way you been looking at me
‘Cause darling let me tell you
It makes a girl feel complete

This is my goodbye
My we ran out of time
But maybe hold onto a picture for once in a while
This is my goodbye
My I don’t want to cry
But most of all I want you to be happy
But maybe if you have the time
Can I cross your mind?

Hold onto me
In your memory
We know it’s the best to move on with the rest
Of our lives
I know you’ll be fine

So this is my goodbye
My we ran out of time
But maybe hold onto a picture for once in a while
This is my goodbye
My I don’t want to cry
But most of all I want you to be happy
But baby if you have the time
Can I cross your mind?

Whiskey Colored Eyes

I couldn't sleep that well last night and you could feel it
I tossed and turned and stole all of the covers
I couldn't reach out just to touch ya
It's a new kind of good morning
It's like August struck and it's already over

Do you notice there's a change in the air

When you're drinking in
My whiskey colored eyes
With every little sip it gives me
No where left to hide
I can't just leave
’Cause you already see
That you can find
What you don't like
In my whiskey colored eyes

Don't know if I need you to need ya
Am I better off just leaving
Cause every part of me is falling deeper
And I know we're moving forward
The end keeps getting shorter
I've never had to stop before the finish

Do you notice there's a change in the air
Cause I feel like I'm still losing even when you're near

When you're drinking in
My whiskey colored eyes
With every little sip it gives me
No where left to hide
I can't just leave
’Cause you already see
That you can find
What you don't like
In my whiskey colored eyes

Oh it burns just to burn
I love the way it hurts
Bitterness is something that I'm used to
It soaks through to my bones
I'm losing all control
Just sulking at a bar knowing that I'll be alone

When you're drinking in
My whiskey colored eyes
With every little sip it gives me
No where left to hide
I can't just leave
’Cause you already see
That you can find
What you don't like
In my whiskey colored eyes
Oh you can find
What you don’t like
You can find
What you don’t like
In my whiskey colored eyes

Please Don’t Say Hello

 

I’m not sure that you know how I feel
But I’m pretty sure you don’t think of me anymore
You didn’t need me like I did you
So it was easier for you to close that door
And I don’t mean to bring up
Old feelings that you don’t
Think to think ‘bout anymore

But if you see me again
Please don’t say hello
If you see me again
Just cross the street and let me go
Skip the how you been
’Cause I don’t want to know
All I ask… is
Please don’t say hello

And you can laugh as long as I don’t hear
I’ve been working through my years without you now
But you’re still more than just a now and then
When I’m a distant memory by now

And I don’t mean to bring up
Old feelings that you don’t
Think to think ‘bout anymore

But if you see me again
Please don’t say hello
If you see me again
Just cross the street and let me go
Skip the how you been
’Cause I don’t want to know
All I ask… is
Please don’t say hello

Whoah
Whoah

‘Cause if I see you again
I know I’ll say hello
If I see you again
I won’t just let it go
When we walk away
I’ll be the only one alone
All I ask

Is if you see me again
Please don’t say hello
If you see me again
Just cross the street and let me go
Skip the how you been
’Cause I don’t want to know
All I ask
All I ask is
Please don’t say hello

 

 

Time Is Up

I was on the road for so long
Sold my soul for a song
Had a stage all for me
And the fans I could hear them scream
I used to watch ‘em all line up
Till the devil came collecting said my time was up

He took my clothes; took my yacht
It’s what I chose I cast my lot
Got my car impounded by the repo man
Got no more dough but you don’t understand
Everyone was wanting to hear my stuff
Till the devil came collecting said my time was up

Instrumental

I don’t got no soul don’t got no cash
Don’t got no honey living on tin cans
I made my bed with the man down south
I know too well there ain’t any way out
Oh devil knows
I lost my soul
But I didn’t mind when I was up on top
Till the devil came collecting said my time was up   

You’ll find me now on the road
I’m still around just a rock and a roll
Don’t got no belongings ‘cept guitar and a thumb
Been hitchin’ round singing the song on my tongue
And I ain’t gonna stop
And I ain’t gonna stop
Oh I really ain’t never gonna stop
Till the devil comes collecting says my time is up

Cheap Wine

Sweet memories keep me warm
Like a good winter coat
And I can still hear you singing to me
If I keep my eyes closed
You smelled like hope and cinnamon
You felt like not being alone
And you're on the other side of that line
After a box of wine or so

Cheap wine and some
Me time
Leads to there you are again appearing out of nowhere
Smiling like nothing ever happened
Cheap wine with no
Peace of mind
And it's never gonna be enough to just shrug you off
Cause I can't forget you
I can't forget
I can't forget

Conversations went on and on
Only heavy as a feather
You helped me lose what's ahead and behind
So I could put myself back together

Cheap wine and some
Me time
Leads to there you are again appearing out of nowhere
Smiling like nothing ever happened
Cheap wine with no
Peace of mind
And it's never gonna be enough to just shrug you off
Cause I can't forget you
I can't forget
I can't forget

Facing reality you'll
Only be a memory
I miss you
I can't erase everything
Parts of you still lingering
I still miss you

Cheap wine and some
Me time
Leads to there you are again appearing out of nowhere
Smiling like nothing ever happened
Cheap wine with no
Peace of mind
And it's never gonna be enough to just shrug you off
Cause I can't forget you
I can't forget
I can't forget
I can't forget
