~chorus There's no way for you To tell me which way i won't Cause I'll be damned if i do And I'll be damned if i don't Oh I'll be damned if I do And I'll be damned if I don't ~verse When we were young and we were broke Nobody ever said that simple life is such a joke It's all gone All this pain, death, and what haves ya Life all starts and then you blink It's all gone There's no time left when you think A whole life lives within a wink It's all gone There's many roads there's many ways Looks like my choice is due today ~chorus There's no way for you To tell me which way i won't Cause I'll be damned if i do And I'll be damned if i don't Oh I'll be damned if i do And I'll be damned if i don't I'll be damned if i do And I'll be damned if i don't ~bridge Sometimes this life It only deals aces and 8's It's nothing but 666 and are you okays The fog will lift the sky will part You need to pay attention to the middle part It's not what's first it's not what's last It's what's in between ~chorus There's no way for you To tell me which way I won't Cause I'll be damned if I do And I'll be damned if I don't Oh I'll be damned if I do And I'll be damned if I don't I'll be damned if I do And I'll be damned if I don't

I Don't Mind 02:32
~verse I've been searching this life for a piece of the pie But all that I've found are faded goodbyes The love that I keep seeking might never be found But I'll hold this feeling in my hand and carry it around I don't mind ~verse All this life I've been living I been doing it wrong I should've known that it didn't have to be all that hard Sometimes I get confused trying to follow my heart I'll just pickup all the broken pieces and continue my walk I don't mind ~refrain I don't mind I don't mind ~verse And these spinning wheels in my heart they're fixing the holes Of every last rip that was torn in my soul There'll be no more stomping angels at the expense of my heart And I can ride off into the night knowing I've played no part I don't mind ~refrain I don't mind I don't mind

~verse They say the sky's the limit but there's footprints on the moon All these dreams that I'm having will be coming to me soon There's no reason to think any different I've known it all along Not being arrogant but confident and take my place up with the stars There's nothing that can stop me now I've got this in the bag ~chorus But I didn't hear the sound of the gun go click In the pitch black and now its like I'm on the run ~verse I drove my way down through Mexico stopped at every single bar I lived out on the pueblo did what I had just to survive Met a sweet young farmer girl but you know she weren't no fool All she did was let me meet her dad messed around and bought a mule So I'm headed back towards the border I've got nothing more to lose ~chorus All that's left of this life I don't want You can keep it cause I don't give a fuck ~bridge Cause all this life we're living is nothing but one big lie We run around in a daydream yet let our dreams pass us by Busy with all you can't change it neglects the stuff that you can Nurture the things you can change and not the things that you can't ~chorus All that's left of this life I don't want You can keep it cause I don't give a fuck ~verse Well I went down to the graveyard and I fell down on my knees I said Lord what you're doing could ya hurry up please Cause I'm through with all this hurtin there's no life left in me I've lived too much already I've seen all there is to see All those dreams they are too fuzzy they mean nothing more to me ~chorus All that's left of this life I don't want You can keep it cause I'm done trying my luck
4.
~verse You killed my soul I could feel it when it slipped away I thought I'd be fine But I wasn't I'll never be the same again I kinda wanna be but I'm glad that I'm not ~chorus That's just how it goes sometimes It is what it is and that's just fine ~verse I'm sure I must've deserved At least most of what I got The Lord knows I'm perfectly flawed And that makes me an easy mark You chewed me up like some bubble gum Now I'm outta shape with no flavor left ~chorus That's just how it goes sometimes It is what it is and that's just fine ~bridge Sometimes that's just how it goes There's no need to try to explain it nobody really knows Anyhow we make it up as we go There's no pill or prescription you can get There's just no antidote Sometimes that's just how it goes There's no need to try to explain it nobody really knows Sometimes that's just how it goes There's no need to try to explain it nobody really knows ~chorus That's just how it goes sometimes It is what its and that's just fine

~verse The crunch of the leaves underneath my feet Is a crunchy reprieve from all this blood that I bleed I'm a thousand degrees about to bust at the seams I gotta get out before it happens again I gotta get out of all these traps in my brain I gotta get out there's no other way to explain I gotta get out of all this flawless pain Can no longer find my way around this place baby ~verse There's no way to see the forest for the trees I try to break out but end up on my knees I try to find worth but end up sleeping with thieves I gotta get out before it happens again I gotta get out of all these traps in my brain I gotta get out there's no other way to explain I gotta get out of all this flawless pain Can no longer find my way around this place baby Music Break ~verse I can't fight this feeling I've been here before It's a book that's been read and not worth fighting for This song has been written a thousand times or more I gotta get out before it happens again I gotta get out of all these traps in my brain I gotta get out there's no other way to explain I gotta get out of all this flawless pain Can no longer find my way around this place baby

~verse This road is windy and I've been lost for awhile I no longer know where I'm going and I don't know where I've been It's like waking up in a new day every day It's like being trapped in a movie but there's no Bill Murray Sometimes you find yourself in nothing but a lot of pain You wonder to yourself who you should point the blame But there's no one to blame only yourself It's time you wake up baby go ahead and make the change Somethings gotta give because you'll break before it does You're stopped at a green light you just gotta give it a nudge ~chorus Something about this place it ain't doing it for me tonight I'll be back on the road before dawn so don't wait up it'll be alright "I'll talk to you again soon" was written on the bottom of my left shoe And you could read the footprints as they faded down that old dirt road too ~verse It's been so long since I've felt this way In the grand scheme of things we'll all just die one day So I want to spend the rest of this life staring death in the face White knuckled, hanging on with my eyes on the very next place I don't want to live in a world of constant confusion I shouldn't have to live a life of what ifs and might've beens I'ma take this world by the coattails and make it spin I'ma be the cause of all your good times and just say when's Come on people now smile on your brother Everybody get together and try to love one another right now ~chorus Something about this place is doing everything for me tonight I'll be back tomorrow morning don't worry baby my key fits alright "There's waffles in the oven" was written on a napkin by the stove I wanna walk in the room, snatch you up, and steal you away to Mexico

Return Me 03:44
~verse I don't mind flying alone I don't mind it when I'm the only one home I used to be beside myself Now I just put it in a bottle I leave up on the shelf Let me lay and watch you fly In the sun and through the sky Can you tell the sun to never lie Can you catch the tears that fall from my eye ~chorus Return me To the wind Return me So I can begin ~verse We're like nothing that you can fully explain A soft machine running around in some old blue jeans As simple and complex as you can think or guess Like just stop trying and enjoy the dusk instead You see that little lonely butterfly Sunset stretched out across the sky Sometimes you lose make the best of it It is what it is we swerve and let things live ~chorus Return me To the wind Return me So I can begin ~bridge Crunchy leaves and grass Clouds above watch them pass No longer here no longer me A whole brand new world for me to see ~chorus Return me To the wind Return me So I can begin ~verse Hey new world what you gonna do Make us work 5 to enjoy 2 Struggling with a feeling you just don't understand Stopped at a green light with your head in your hands All these try's and struggles might be bittersweet Serenade yourself and stand up on your feet Maybe just once you gotta get out But keep it all together and rise above yourself ~chorus Return me To the wind Return me So I can begin
8.
~verse I would like to see What it's about and why it must be All of the dreams that I once had Still seem so far and impossible to grab Is there a sign a pill or a guide I'm pretty sure if there was then I must've been blind ~chorus Call me mister irresponsible Call me what you will Call me every name thats in the book Call me cause my soul has been shook ~verse Sometimes this life can make you feel sad Rob cheat and steal what little left you have Half steps and harmonies are all that survive From a life filled with turmoil and strife Why must we pay rent just to live on this earth We've been hurtling through space since the day of our birth ~chorus Call me mister irresponsible Call me what you will Call me every name that is in the book Call me so you don't have to look
9.
~verse I travel down this lonely street Say hello to anyone that I meet But it seems like life ain't what it used to be They walk around with their heads to their feet They try to escape with phones to their cheeks And when I walk passed them they don't acknowledge me It's like life's just a rush from A to B It's like life's just a rush from A to B ~verse Sipping coffee on Boliver beach Near Corpus Cristi where the sands are sweet And it feels like life ain't bad and I just cry Driving up and down i35 Stop in towns with at least one good dive And I wish you were here one more time Instead of living another life Instead of living another life ~bridge And all this life we're living Seems to be found In the middle parts of the moments Before hello and the dawn But we're all too busy and we keep on dancing To the beat of a different drum There's a hundred infinity planets in the galaxy We're on the same one So let's pause for the cause so I can take a breath And this don't run on too long ~verse Now I'm old as hell but I still wanna get ill Go down to the park to where the B boys chill And listen to every track on Licensed to Ill Take off my clothes and leave on my hat Stumble up to the top of the hill And watch this old world keep closing in on me Because I'm cool that this is how it'll be We're all searching for the simple life And I know that this is simply life

Breakdown 02:04
~verse When I sit All alone And you see See me cry There's no tell Telling why I just don't know How to let that demon go ~chorus So now that feeling that keeps building up is breaking me down ~verse Now I'm not drinking from that well no more And I'm not gonna go and sell my soul I'm not looking to be the first or the last I'm fine with middle place so go on and kiss my ass Honey Ima shoot ya straight I just ain't the same no more Honey Ima gonna ya straight cause I ain't the same no more ~chorus So now that feeling that keeps building up ain't breaking me down ~bridge Ooooo breaking me down Ooooo breaking me down Ooooo breaking me down Ooooo breaking me down ~chorus So now that feeling that keeps building up ain't even around

Recorded live in my living room.
It doesn't get much more baller than that.
