Gypsy 04:53
I strolled down to the river With the heat of the day It’s where the old gypsy woman Oh, she came my way She said listen here little darling I ain’t selling you no fake You see this vile around my neck? Well, it’s all he’ll have to take The night was clear The moon was high I know what you do In the brilliant cover I came with glass in hand With whiskey you hold dear Asked you about your woes All those misspent lovers Go thank that gypsy woman She really did it right You knew you had it comin’ Long before tonight Go thank that gypsy woman She really did it right You won’t live to see the daylight Don’t have to worry No law on my back Everybody knows It’s a stone cold fact So drink up my dear Don’t put up a fight It’s a perfect time to die In the dead of night Go thank that gypsy woman She really did it right You knew you had it comin’ Long before tonight Go thank that gypsy woman She really did it right You won’t live to see the daylight With your last remaining breath You’ll find all of your regrets With the last beat of your chest Oh, I won’t regret With the last beat of your chest You’ll find all of your regrets With the last beat of your chest I won’t regret a thing I won’t regret a damn thing Go thank that gypsy woman She really did it right You knew you had it comin’ Long before tonight Go thank that gypsy woman She really did it right You won’t live to see the daylight And I strolled down to the river (go thank that gypsy woman) Oh I strolled down to the heat of the day (you knew you had it coming) Oh I strolled down to the river (go thank that gypsy woman) Oh I strolled down to the river (go thank that gypsy woman)

Adeline 03:07
oh oh oh , oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh In the morning, death will hold me, like loves tender embrace Oh oh oh But through this night, I’ll hold you tight, Oh there’s no need for haste So don’t you cry, Adeline I’ll be gone before you rise Don’t you cry, Adeline, oh Adeline Hangmen don’t wait, They seal a man’s fate, With eight good feet of rope oh oh oh You’ll see in time, the sun will still shine, You’ll regain your hope So don’t you cry, Adeline I’ll be gone before you rise Don’t you cry, Adeline, oh Adeline Walk up those steps, With head held high, I’ll put on a show oh oh oh I’ll stand on deck, Stare into their eyes, I’ll put on a show oh oh oh And when the drop comes, I’ll be swinging, Oh I’ll put on a show Oh, Adeline, I’ll put on a show Oh, Adeline, I’ll put on a show Oh, Adeline, I’ll put on a show (oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh)

Home 04:33
Thunder rollin’ in Sun lingers on my skin It’s time to begin to get going and gone With Thunder rollin’ in Those three little words Were all that I heard Everything I knew before is all a blur Until those little words My heart is where I want it to be Lightning strikes when your next to me My heart is where I want it to be I am home as long as you're beside me, the map behind me, the wind is guiding Nothing means more than you here at my door Watching the early morning sun streaks on the floor Nothing means more So roll the windows down And let’s get out of this town Nothin’ here we've found that's worth stickin’ around So roll the windows down My heart is where I want it to be Lightning strikes when your next to me My heart is where I want it to be I am home as long as you're beside me, the map behind me, the wind is guiding We’re working on upwards for, for a dream But dreams don’t pay for the rent it seams So I’ll over extend and self-medicate on you and rock, rock and roll We’re working on upwards for, for a dream but rent won’t pay for itself it seams So I’ll over extend and self-medicate on you my rock, my heart my home With you I'm home Thunders rollin’ in Sun lingers on my skin So roll the windows down And let’s get out of this town With thunder rollin’ in You linger on my skin So roll the windows down And let’s get out of this town My heart is where I want it to be Lightning strikes when your next to me My heart is where I want it to be I am home as long as you're beside me My heart is where I want it to be Lightning strikes when your next to me My heart is where I want it to be I am home as long as you're beside me, the map behind me, the wind is guiding

Underground 04:38
You come to me with deceit And a heart made of stone But you won’t know You won’t move me You berate and push me around with contempt implied You get high when you try to roll me over You love to throw your weight around any way you can You don’t know. You won’t roll me over Till I’m underground Till I’m underground Underground, underground They degrade and knock us down with fault implied They get high when they try to roll us over They do their best to hold us down any way they can They don’t know, they won’t roll me over Till I’m underground Till I’m underground Underground, underground See it spark through the haze We will rise up See it spark through the hate We will rise up See it spark through the haze We will rise up See the spark turn into flame We won’t break We won’t break We won’t break Till I’m underground Till I’m underground

Buckeye 03:57
They see me rollin’ (see me rollin’) Like a river (like a river) Stay steady the course with me (stay steady, stay steady) Rose and Crimson The world is red with anticipation Of the bloom Of the life you’re gonna choose Do you go left? Do you go right? Will you make it through the night? Will you go left? Will you go right? Will you survive? To leave buckeye This place ain’t for you Their world is made for those who criticize And scrutinize Of the life you’ll leave behind Do you go left? Do you go right? Will you make it through the night? Will you go left? Will you go right? Will you survive? To leave buckeye? They see me rollin’ like a river Stay steady the course with me And we’ll be rollin’ like a river We’ll finally be free You see me rollin’ (you see me rollin’) like a river (like a river) Stay steady the course with me (Stay steady, stay steady) And we’ll be rollin’ (you see me rollin’) like a river (like a river) We’ll finally be free (stay steady, stay steady) And long may we roam We’ll be a long way from home Do you go left? Do you go right? Will you make it through the night? Will you go left? Will you go right? Will you survive? To leave buckeye?

Lakeview 03:37
Green grass rising around me Wind blowing gently through the magnolia tree Sun shining and with it brings a calm That I haven’t, oh, I haven’t felt in years Don’t mistake me for the affectionate kind If I hold your hand, I want you to be mine Run my fingers through your tousled hair Oh you better, oh you better know it’s real I’ve followed my head for way to long And it’s time for my heart to sing its song And If I never make it to the end dear I’ll be closer, I’ll be closer than I am from here I’ve haven’t felt this calm in years You should know that it’s real And If I never make it to the end dear I’ll be closer, I’ll be closer than I am from here

Daniel 04:26
I pick and choose my friends like picking wildflowers Never choose one that’s too much like the other as different as each colored hour And I don’t long for you in the rain I don’t need you to calm me in the storm It’s in the open fields with those fireflies dancing that brings longing my way You’re the one in my faceless dreams You’re my one reoccurring theme You’re the one that I think about at night Oh, Daniel, I want to know what it’s like My friends tell me to just let it be it will happen eventually But if we are just fish in one great big sea than I’m alone swimming in a lake And I don’t long for you in the rain I don’t need you to calm me in the storm It’s in the open fields with those fireflies dancing that brings longing my way You’re the one in my faceless dreams You’re my one reoccurring theme You’re the one that I think about at night Oh, Daniel, I want to know what it’s like Somewhere out there you wait for me Somewhere out there you wait for me (Ooooo’) Somewhere out there, oh, Daniel, you wait for me Daniel I don’t need you but oh how I ache for you You know I don’t need you and I’m not gonna beg Oh but Daniel how I ache

I know you need him And I know the end is closing in And I know the reasons why you can never understand Why I need it to snow Why I need the cold piercing through the air You are not leaving I am letting you go There is meaning I can handle the unknown Tranquil and humble you have found me Standing more sure of who I need Though there’s no one around I’m not lonely I’ll be found In the snow with the cold to comfort me You are not leaving I am letting you go There is meaning I can handle the unknown Let it, let the end come Let it, let the end come Let it, let the end come Let it, oh, let the end come I am doing just fine I am doing just fine I am not alone Though you are gone, you will always be here You are part of me now All that you have done will never be forgotten
