Blue and Green
can't you hear your momma talkin'
she told you to hush your rattlin' tongue
sit down in your chair boy
eat your supper and leave your brother alone
I was once just like you
I was green and blue
my mother told my father one day
how much she had loved her life with him
then she rose up from her body
and vanished in the blue and green of spring
she was once just like me
now she's gone into the blue and green
blue and green
blue and green
you ain't lived 'til you seen the blue and green
you should've seen my grandmother
she was tough and strong as any man
but she was sweet and gentle when
she held you like the lover she used to have
he was gone
now so is she
but they live on in the blue and green
CHORUS
keep on growin' up so fast
and life'll hit you hard as you can take
tell me all your troubles boy
and I will try to take those troubles away
you were once just like me
we're all comin' from the blue and green
CHORUS
can't you hear your momma talkin'
she told you to hush your rattlin' tongue

your head is so high
when you got the right shoes
your head is so high

when you got the right shoes
your head is so high
your head is so high
when you got the right shoes
there’s something ‘bout the lows
tells the highs what to do
Sky High
there’s something ‘bout the bass
below the melody
there’s something ‘bout the bass
there’s something ‘bout the bass
below the melody
there’s something ‘bout the bass
there’s something ‘bout the bass
below the melody
there’s something in the lows
tell’s the highs how to be
Sky High
there’s something ‘bout the tears
coming’ down from your eyes
there’s something ‘bout the tears
there’s something ‘bout the tears
coming down from your eyes
there’s something ‘bout the lows
takes the highs to the sky

Snake Eyes
come on everybody there's a train comin
won't be at the station too long
go ahead and listen to the jack leg television preacher
if you want to get on
I'm just a runaway truck
I don't give a flying flip about much
but to slow things down, lord turn it around
I don't mind livin' on grits
but I'm tired of eatin' crow and I need a hit
of something to wash it down, lord turn it around
I keep dreaming of those snake eyes
dreaming of those snake eyes
and I'm lookin for my paradise
looking for my paradise
I keep chasin a patch of green grass
all I need is a peace of mind that's gonna last
and I feel the fire, lord can you heal my desire

Keep Me Around
hello I’m Lonely, I sweep up the place
I go in early and I come home late
and one thing I never forget is a face
you keep me around
you keep me around
hello I’m Sad, I know I get in the way
you sit and you wonder how long I’m gonna stay
while I show you the rainbow in all shades of grey
you keep me around (I bring you down)
you keep me around (I bring you down)
hello I’m Faith and I might be blind
but I’m the one's gonna keep towin' the line
and you land on your feet almost every time
CHROUS
sad and Lonely, they go and come
you think you don't need 'em but you gotta have some
try askin' the Dark where the Light comes from
hello I’m Faith and I might be blind
but I’m the one's gonna keep towin' the line
and you land on your feet almost every time

Raindrop
broke a heart for a cheap thrill
seemed worth it at the time
there's a hundred of 'em out there still
you can hear em all cryin'
you're just a muddy old rain drop
you're gonna dry up some day
you don't sleep you just lay awake and listen
to the sound of alone
comin' up from the dark and you're wishin'
you didn't hear em all moan
CHORUS
put a stain on an innocent heart
it just won't wash away
you thought you were a hammer of steel
but you're a rusty old spoke in the wheel
you're gonna quit comin' around
you're on the way down
CHORUS

Chocolate on my Tongue
sittin’ on the front porch
ice cream in my hand
meltin’ in the sun
all that chocolate on my tongue
and that’s
good enough reason to live
good enough reason to live
sittin’ in the bath tub
high-fi playin’ low
diggin’ old Al Green
well you must know what I mean
and that’s
good enough reason to live
good enough reason to live
CHORUS:
if I die young
at least I got some chocolate on my tongue
if I die young
at least I got some chocolate on my tongue
sittin’ in the front seat
good girl in my arms
smilin’ in my eyes
getting’ me all hypnotized
and that’s
good enough reason to live
good enough reason to live

Sparkling Wine
I heard the faint voice of reason
then it faded away
raised my glass to her cheek and
caught the tears she made
I thought it was love
I thought it was love
but it's only a drug
sparklin' wine
get's me so high
those beautiful tears
of sparklin' wine
I'm a fool she's a flower
just can't find the sun
I pick up all the pretty pieces
when she comes undone
I thought it was love
I thought it was love
but it's only a drug
CHORUS
one look at those eyes and
my lips get dry
I know I gotta stay
the only thing I can think about is
kissin’ those tears away
I thought it was love
I thought it was love
but it's only a drug
CHORUS

River Takes the Town
I hope the levee in Shreveport does what it's s’posed to do
cuz the rain keeps comin', the rain keeps comin'
I must've called you 99 times but I couldn't get through
and the rain keeps comin', the rain keeps comin'
the rain keeps comin’, the rain keeps comin'
nothin's ever for certain
'til the levee breaks down
the water comes in and the river
the river takes the town
there's a shelter at the high school gym they got blankets and food
but you won't sleep easy, you won't sleep easy
Its been a few days since I heard any word from you
and i don't sleep easy, I don't sleep easy
and the rain keeps comin’, the rain keeps comin’
the rain keeps comin’, the rain keeps comin'
CHORUS
there's a number you can call if your house get's washed away
but it'll never be the same, it'll never be the same
since you held my hand and kissed me on the very first day
no I’ll never be the same, no I'll never be the same
and the rain keeps comin’, the rain keeps comin'
the rain keeps comin’, the rain keeps comin'
CHORUS

Glad
lead shoes
is what I use
when I’m runnin’
away from you
a golden rose
it always knows
it’s good to see you
but I’ll be glad to see you go
I have missed you
is what I say
when I’m wishin’
you’d stay away
a cold wind
starts to blow
it’s good to see you
but I’ll be glad to see you go
good to see you
but I’ll be glad to see you go
I’m glad to see you go
I’m tryin’ to be a mountain
but it’s not easy.
run and hide
is what I do
when I’m tryin’
to start anew
a knock on my door
scares me so
it’s good to see you
but I’ll be glad to see you go
good to see you
but I’ll be glad to see you go
I’m glad to see you go
I’m tryin’ to be a mountain
but it’s not easy

Happiness Jones / Express Yourself
all of my wisdom came
from all the toughest days
I never learned a thing bein’ happy
all of my sufferin’ came
I didn’t appreciate it
I never learned a thing bein’ happy
but to know how it feels now and then
I got a happiness jones my friend… Happiness Jones
all of my answers came
driving myself insane
I had a dragon to tame to be happy
all of my peace and quiet
came from putting out fire
I keep a spark alive to be happy
that old dragon’s gonna come back mad
I got a happiness jones so bad…Happiness Jones
happy Happy Happy Happiness Jones
I’m not sick
I’m not alone
we all got it…Happiness Jones
all of those words I wrote
in the storm that rocked my boat
all of that was stuck in my throat when I was happy
all of those songs I was singin’
while my boat was sinkin’
next thing I’m thinkin' I’m happy
I might as well change my name
to Happiness jones my friend….Happiness Jones

Can’t Look Away
there’s a sweet little farmhouse in Virginia full of guns and ammunition
in the driveway there’s some pickup trucks with shotgun racks and camouflage paint
down a path to the river there’s some good old boys drinkin' and fishin'
when the shit hits the fan you know just who to call or to blame
you can try
you can try
but you can’t look away
she steps out of the bathtub barely covers up with a towel and gets the front door
it’s the college boy from up the street there to cut the grass while her husband’s away
the neighbors they peak through the blinds cuz they know her man’s overseas lost in the war
she fixes her hair up and let’s the boy inside for lemonade
you can try
you can try
but you can’t look away
it’s a colorful sight
it’s got the dark and the light
never just black and white or even grey
you can’t look away
there’s a sweet little girl with a folded up flag on the foot of her bed red white and blue fades to black suits and dresses and headlights in the rain
she doesn’t notice the headstone, white bouquets and leftover last respects
just the one purple wildflower comin' up from the dirt on the grave
it’s a colorful sight
it’s got the dark and the light
never just black and white or even grey
you can’t look away

Atlas
halleluiah
well I just woke up from a dream
so far away
and it’s no accident I landed here
eyes wide open and seein’ clear
I have come a long long way
I am wiser now
my man Atlas told me
I shouldn’t try to hold his world up
he said boy you got some muscles
you have never used
all you got to do is go ahead and wake up
CHORUS:
don’t you try to hold my world up
don’t you try to hold my world
don’t you try to hold my world up
don’t you try to hold my world
aphrodite
well her suitcase was my burden
for so long
she said boy you got some heart and soul
but that’s not what your love is for
lay your burden down and we’ll both be stronger
CHORUS

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums.
