Lyrics
The night is ours
Words smell like whiskey
And hearts are on fire
Thoughts are all scattered
Like birds from a wire
Well we tipped up our glasses
We shut down the bars
Ohhh the night is ours
The glow of the neon
The bottles they shine
Shots of tequila
Slow sips of wine
And the sounds and the crashes
Of electric guitars
Ohhh the night is ours
OHHHH
We don’t talk about it
OHHHH
We just get around
OHHHH
The night is ours
OHHHH
The night is ours
Pictures and frames of the days
That have gone
Scattered and bruised after awhile
Raise up the spirits
Forget about the past
Oohhh the night is ours
It’s not time for politics, faith, and regrets
This shot of Jameson is for all my friends
Songwriters, punks lets get to the bars
Ohhh the night is ours
OHHHH
We don’t talk about it
OHHHH
We just get around
OHHHH
The night is ours
OHHHH
The night is ours
Cruel Design
Some say time is a long, straight line
The space between the start and the end
Fleeting lives
Like a flash of light
Breezes blow their bitter wind
Burned or buried
Scattered or carried
From a church upon a hill
Dreams we carry
Hopes we’ve buried
Oh I remember still
If the whiskey don’t kill me
The worry will
Some say time is a cruel design
The hours gone the days we spend
Memory dies
Like the sun will rise
Winter breaks what autumn bends
Burned or Buried
Scattered or carried
From a church up on a hill
Dreams we carry
Hopes we buried
Oh I remember still
If the whiskey don’t kill me
The women will
Be quiet, keep still
As the hours expire and the minutes killed
And now turns violently to then
What does it matter?
When the sun explodes and the world will scatter
In a wave of fire and wind
Burned or Buried
Scattered or carried
From a church up on a hill
Dreams we carry
Hopes we buried
Oh I remember still
If the whiskey don’t kill me
The wondering will
Parts Unknown
I left Wyoming in the dead of night
Just to beat the snow
Where was I going?
Where was my mind?
Hell I still don’t know
I burned my bridges
I took my flight
Beneath a thumbnail moon
Smoke and flames I left behind
Winter’s coming soon
Taillights
All night
Drive until
The sunrise
On the move
On the road
To Parts Unknown
I left Arizona and the blood red rocks
In the bloom of spring
I made my money
I made my name
Selling sex and dreams
I left Kentucky I left the south
And I married New York
I had to leave I was never gonna stay
Hell I wanted more
Chorus:
Tail lights
All night
Drive until
The sunrise
On the move
On the road
To Parts Unknown
Thundercloud
Every time you talk about it Slowly marching toward the end
Every time you think that you’re in love Another day on earth has come and gone again
It’s a dream and nothing more Something precious, something small
Wait for me to learn to live
Went around the world to find it or wait for me to fall
Mountains, deserts, streams, and planes
But you needed something more Why do I take these lessons hard?
And it’s you Feelings burn inside and leave my spirt charred
Swimming in my head Give me something, give me peace
And it feels Someone said to me it’s not the path
Like a flash from a thundercloud that hurts the least
Every time you scream about it Firewater take my mind
Every time you think that you’re alone Did it take to long for me to find myself?
Turn around to an open door. Holy water heal my soul
help to make my spirit whole
Been around the world to hide it Oh time it heals you, but man it’ll
Cars and trains and vans and planes kill you if you wait…
You don’t need it anymore you wait too long.
But it’s you Slowly marching towards the end
swimming in my head another life on earth has come and gone again
and it feels something precious, something small
like a flash from a thundercloud Wait for me to learn to live or wait for me to fall
And its you.. ohhhhh Firewater take my mind
You….ohhhh Did it take too long for me to find myself?
You…ohhhh Holy water cleanse my soul
Help to make my spirit whole
And its you Oh time it heals you, but man it’ll
swimming in my head kill you if you wait… you wait too long.
and it feels Don’t wait too long…
like a flash from a thundercloud
