One More Day 05:45
I’ve seen you in a sadness I’ve seen you when you’d hoped to die I heard you say It’s rainin’ all over the world What did I tell you What did I say Just when your faith is gone Give it one more day I’ve seen you with your head low Face down on the ground I heard you say You’re lost and you couldn’t be found What did I tell you What did I say Just when your faith is gone Give it one more day Next thing you’re shinin’ right back at the sun Blowin’ right back at the wind Roarin’ right back at the ocean Nothin’s gonna do you in Give it one more day One more day Just when your faith is gone Gives it one more day I’ve seen you when your soul shines I’ve seen you when your heart sings I heard you say The world don’t owe you a thing Yeah, what did you tell me What did you say Just when you’re faith is gone Give it one more day

Bet your heart was an ice cube last night Just chillin' your whiskey blood Puttin’ your mind way out of sight And that's okay ‘Cause you got a smoke ring halo Just won’t blow away I heard today you had to go Well I guess we all get carried away You’re just a saint saint with a cigarette jones And that's okay You got a smoke ring halo Just won’t blow away You deserve better That’s all I know I just hope they get it right In that place where you're goin' You should be covered In a circle of gold Won’t you let some angel blow away Your smoke ring halo We’re all gonna miss you playin' your horn And showin' us your busted heart You blow so hard your lips are torn And that's the way You got a smoke ring halo Just won't blow away. We all got things we can't help You always had to take a bullet for a stranger I heard today you took one for yourself And that's okay You got a smoke ring halo You got a smoke ring halo You got a smoke ring halo You got a smoke ring halo Just won’t blow away

Glad 04:17
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

Stumbled In 06:32
You give me chills When you sing so sweet You make me feel it From my neck to my feet You get me sky high With chicken skin This must be heaven And I stumbled in I see your voice When I close my eyes It’s a light shinin' And it's shinin' so bright I’m in the shadow Of your snow white wings This must be heaven And I stumbled in I stumbled in I stumbled in I just found heaven With a touch of sin I couldn't feel Any better You could knock me down With a feather Cut me in half With a blade of grass This must be heaven And I hope it lasts I stumbled in I stumbled in I don’t mind the neon and the smoke And your breath of gin 'Cause I just found heaven With a touch of sin

Payday 03:33

Speakin' of lyin' Well I told a few They say that's not what Jesus would do I been tempted red white and blue But you'll understand when you’re in my shoes I was just findin' my way I don't believe I don't believe I'd'a made it up the mountain I don't believe I don't believe I'd'a climbed so high I don't believe I don't believe I'd'a made it up the mountain Without the fire Burnin’ under my behind Speaking of bridges Well I burned a few Talk about cheatin' and bendin' some rules It might not sound like what a man should do But you'll understand when you're in my shoes I was just finding my way CHORUS Speaking of fallin' And breakin' in two Talkin’ bout love and I had a few But you keep on climbin' to get to the truth You gotta burn a few holes in those shoes If you're gonna find your way CHORUS

Luckiest Man 05:13
My whole Saturday And Sunday too I was thinking ‘bout Ways not to lose Lay down my weapons Is what I’ve done Too late to hide Feet too soft to run But people say I’m the luckiest man Yeah they say CHORUS: Runnin’ is useless Fightin’ is foolish You’re not gonna win But still you’re the luckiest man You’re up against Too many horses And mysterious forces What you don’t know is You are the luckiest man You’re the luckiest man I don’t talk to the Devil When he calls my name But sometimes when I’m losin’ It all seems the same And when I fall I’m back up again Just to slip on the same mistakes And slide right back in But people say I’m the luckiest man yeah they say CHORUS Try to keep my faith And keep my mind I’d hate to lose either one When the whip cracks behind And I can’t but help mournin’ Just a little each night People say everything’s Gonna be alright They say I’m the luckiest man Yeah they say CHORUS
