FOOLS WILL SAY THAT CURRENCY IS KING
BUT THEY DON'T KNOW A GOD DAMN THING
ABOUT WHO WE ARE
WHAT IT MEANS IS WHAT IT'S WORTH
SEE THROUGH CITY BLOCKS FOR COUNTRY MILES
BUT STARINGS REALLY NOT MY STYLE
HOLD YOUR TONGUE
ONE MORE WORD AND YOU MIGHT CHOKE
AND THEY DON'T KNOW
HOW LONG THE STORY GOES
BUT WE'RE DOING FINE CROSSING STATE LINES
OPEN UP MY CHEST SO I CAN FINALLY BREATHE
SCARED BUT NOT ALONE BUT I SUPPOSE
WE MIGHT AS WELL BE FREE
'TILL WE FIND OUR WAY BACK HOME
CANDIDATES ON VERBAL KILLING SPREES
BLIND SHEEP FALL TO THEIR KNEES
CHOOSE A SIDE
LEFT OR RIGHT IT'S ALL THE SAME
COMPASSION CLOAKED IN HALF TRUTHS AND LIES
PACKAGED IN DESIGNER SUITS AND TIES
TO BE CLEAR
YOU AND I ARE NOT THE SAME

SPENT MY LIFE IN A WALKING HAZE
THE SAME ROUTINE ON A DIFFERENT DAY
TRIED MY HAND AT FAITH
BUT THERE'S NO PROOF
A LIE FOR A LIE AND A TRUTH FOR A TRUTH
AND AIN'T IT A SHAME WHEN YOU FIGURE OUT
YOUR BEST DAYS ARE BEHIND YOU NOW
AND AIN'T IT A SHAME WHEN YOU FIGURE OUT
YOUR BEST DAYS ARE BEHIND YOU NOW
BUT THEY'RE NOT, DON'T LET IT SLIP AWAY
RAISIN' HELL OF A FRIDAY NIGHT
AND KISSING YOUR GIRL AT FIRST DAYLIGHT
AND PRAISE THE THINGS THAT NEVER CHANGE
BUT CURSE THE WORLD THAT STAYS THE SAME
SPENT MY YOUTH AS A KNOW IT ALL
THE TALLER THE PRIDE THE FURTHER THE FALL
TRIED MY HAND AT SCHOOL
BUT IT DIDN'T TAKE
I WISH I COULD SAY
THAT WAS MY FIRST MISTAKE

CORNER BOOTH ON A FRIDAY NIGHT
WHISKEY REFLECT OFF THE
BARROOM LIGHT
WORKING UP ENOUGH OF A BUZZ
TO GET OVER YOU
POUR 'EM STRONG AND POUR 'EM TALL
ENOUGH SO I CAN FORGET IT ALL
DIGGING UP OLD BONES
IS NOTHING NEW
ESPECIALLY WHEN THEM
BONES BELONG TO YOU
SO BURN IT DOWN, BURN IT DOWN
SWEEP THEM ASHES OFF THE GROUND
HEARD THAT SAME OL' STORY
ONCE A TIME OR TWO
BURN IT DOWN, BURN IT DOWN
DRAGGIN' THE LAKE AIN'T
TOO DAMN LOW FOR YOU
WALK ACROSS THEM COALS
STOP HALF WAY THROUGH

WE'LL RUN, RUN ON TOWARDS THE SUMMER
REACH FOR WARMER DAYS
WE CAN MAKE IT OUT, WE CAN FIND A WAY
IF WE CAN JUST MAKE IT THROUGH THE WINTER
BUT THE WINTER'S TOO DAMN COLD
CAUSE NOW WE'RE IN A DITCH
AND THE BOTTOMS ALL WE KNOW
DANNY MADE A DEVIL'S DEAL IN DALLAS
SELLING DOPE TO FEED HIS FAMILY
THE HUNGER HIT HIS VEINS
AND NOW HE'S PRAYING
HE'S PRAYING ON HIS KNEES
BOBBY CAUGHT A BUM RAP UP IN BOSTON
WASHED SOME MONEY CLEAN
TO HELP A FRIEND
BOBBY TOOK THE HEAT, HE'S IN A JAIL CELL
HIS FRIEND IS IN THE WIND
DEBBIE MET A DEADBEAT UP IN DENVER
HE TOLD HER PRETTY LIES
TO KEEP HER WEAK
HE TOOK HER FOR A RIDE,
SHE LOST THE HOUSE NOW
SHE TAKES PILLS TO FALL ASLEEP

WENT OFF TO COLLEGE BUT
COLLEGE DONE OFF'D ME
COULDN'T GET MY MASTERS
IN TRUTH AND LOYALTY
BANG OUT THE BUZZWORDS
TEACHING THAT BLIND MAN TO SEE
YOU MIGHT GET THE BEST OF HIM
BUT YOU'LL NEVER FOOL ME.
NOW, SWEET TALK THE BEANSTALK
TELL JACK TO GO
AND FETCH YOUR BEAN
TRY THAT IN UPSTATE BOY
IT'S A DIFFERENT KIND OF SCENE
WENT OFF TO COLLEGE BUT
COLLEGE DONE OFF'D ME
COULDN'T GET MY MASTERS
IN TRUTH AND LOYALTY
I SAID WHOA
LIGHT THAT FUSE AND RUN
I SAID WHOA
I AM MY FATHERS SON
NOW LIGHT THAT FUSE AND RUN

Cole vs the Colt

COLE WAS A COWARD WITH A HEAVY HAND
LEE WAS HIS WOMAN HAD ALL SHE COULD STAND
HE'D GET TO DRINKIN' AND
THEY'D HAVE THEIR WORDS
SCREAMIN' AND CRYIN' WAS ALL YOU HEARD
AND WHEN HE KNOCKED HER DOWN
WHEN SHE FELL ON TO THE GROUND
SHE SAID YOU BETTER PUT A BULLET IN ME
AND FINISH THE JOB NOW
OR TO YOU I MAKE THIS VOW
I'M GONNA MAKE YOU WISH YOU HAD
HE KICKED OFF HIS BOOTS AND HE FELL INTO BED
SHE WAS BLACK AND BLUE
BUT ALL SHE SAW WAS RED
SWORE HE WOULDN'T KNOCK HER AROUND NO MORE
THAT'S WHEN SHE REACHED FOR THE COLT
IN THE DRESSER DRAWER
FAST ASLEEP AND UNAWARE
LEE ROLLED THE BARREL THROUGH HIS GREASY HAIR
WITH ONE EYE OPEN AND A HEARTBEAT SKIP
HE YELLED STOP BUT THE COLT YELLED...
