Oh Adeline, sweet Adeline
I stole my love from the lips of the lawman's wife
Oh Adeline, sweet Adeline
And now the price we paid, couldn't been no higher
He followed us
Through the dark
Out to the barn where we sealed our love inside
He waited 'til I left and then he crept inside
He lit the fire after your hands and feet were tied
Now every town I've been through
I feel eyes on the back of my head
Like they know
Every word I say is a lie
And I fear the hangman's noose around my neck
I ran through the night
I could see the orange glow
Of the flames rising higher
When I arrived, your man was waiting for me there
With a pistol by his side and a burning hatred there behind his eyes
Oh Adeline, Sweet Adeline
I could hear your screams as the barn burned
Trapped inside
Every town I've been through
I feel eyes on the back head
Like they know
Every word I say is a lie
And I fear the hangman's noose is closing in
I know what I've done
It is a crime
I did covet the lawman's wife
Now it's your face I see when I close my eyes
Adeline
I had to choose on that night
I could stay and fight or I could run and hide
Oh Adeline, Sweet Adeline
I could hear your screams as I ran for my life
Every town I've been through
I feel eyes on the back of my head
Like they know
Every word I say is a lie
And I was there the night you burned to death

Homeward Bound

Here's the truth from a man who's been leaving
All of his life
And the words that he needs her to believe in when she says
You'll never have time for a wife will you
I've been to places you could only ever dream
And I can still see the faces of everyone I've met on the road
I see the bright lights out on the highway leading me on
But you never believe
I want to come home
Another 3am three states away
And there's three words that you don't want to hear from me
Another 3am three states away
And you're alone in our bed baby, where I'm supposed to be
I've been to places you could only ever dream
And I can still see the faces of everyone I've met on the road
I see the bright lights out on the highway leading me on
But you never believe
I want to come home
Another 3am and it's 6 o'clock for you
You're cursing my name and this broken down old life
Another 3am and it's 6 o'clock for you
I gave the best parts of myself away night after night
I've been to places you could only ever dream
And I can still see the faces of everyone I've met on the road
I see the bright lights out on the highway leading me on
But you never believe
I want to come home

I ain't too bad for you baby
You ain't too good for me girl
I ain't a dog but you treat me like I am
I'm your livin', lovin', walkin', talkin' stand up man baby
I ain't too bad for you baby
You ain't too good for me girl
I can love you like you need you best believe me
But I can't do it baby when you're always fightin' me

Snakeskin Boots Boogie

I said woman, where did you put my boots?
Woman, where'd you put my doggone brand new snakeskin boots?
I know you didn't leave em' next to the heater vent baby
I told ya about that
You gonna dry the skin out, gonna crack that leather
My boots'll be no good
I know you want me to take em' off baby
When I come inside
But I don't know when baby
I might have to run out that door and hide

Get Thee Behind Me
03:47
|

Get thee behind me
I cast you out
I heard your lies
coming out of my own mouth
I pray
For my soul I pray
Get thee behind me
You ain't my friend
You made a plaything of these idle hands
And they played, how they played
How you made them play
Get thee behind me
I know your name
I paid the price
I wear the scars
I felt the shame
But I prayed
Lord I pray
I go down on my knees and I pray
Because I can't achieve what I can't believe
But I believe in grace and in these gifts that I received
When I was blinded
Now I see
That I can't achieve what I can't believe
I once was lost, I was blind
Now I can see it was me
It was always me

How long you gonna stay here baby?
Tell me how long
You gonna stay here all night honey
'Til they turn the get out lights on?
I ain't waitin' baby anymore
I ain't waitin' to wake up and see ya come stumbling through my door
I ain't waitin' baby anymore
You're gonna cry in the morning baby
You're gonna cry like the rising sun
I didn't hear ya cryin' last night honey
When you was out there havin' fun
You're gonna cry in the morning baby
You're gonna cry all day long
Gonna see ya cry like the rising sun
I ain't waitin' baby anymore
I ain't waitin' to wake up and see ya cold passed out on my floor
I ain't waitin' baby anymore
Because it's last call
Do you want alcohol baby?
How long you gonna stay here baby?
Tell me how long
You gonna stay here all night honey
'Til they turn the get out lights on?
You told me just one more song
How long you gonna stay here baby
Gonna stay 'til they turn the goddamn lights on?
I ain't waitin' anymore
I ain't waitin' to wake up to see ya face down, ass up on the front porch
I ain't waitin' baby anymore
Because it's last call
Do you want alcohol or do you want me?

Life's A Bitch
03:27
|

Better not talk trash about my lady
She sure is mean and I'm damn crazy
For holding on the way that I do
Cuz life's a bitch and I love her too
I keep holding on when things go wrong
And there's nothing I can do
To keep my baby from acting crazy and driving me so blue
Life's a bitch and I love her too
What am I giving to my baby?
Making promises that sound like maybe
She's holding on after all that I do
Love's a bitch and she loves me too
She keeps holding on when things go wrong
And there's nothing she can do
To keep her man from going crazy and screaming 'til he's blue
Love's a bitch and she loves me too
Better not talk trash about my lady
She sure is mean and I'm damn crazy
But we're holding on just like we do
Cuz life's a bitch but our love is true

Regret
02:47
|

On a darkened country road with no light save the moon
Driving fast with the hammer down
I try to get a way from you
But I can't
I can't outrun what's in my head
I went bad
Fields and farms flying by in a ghostly shade of blue
Flying blind with the headlights off trying to break through
But I can't
I can't take back what I've done
I went bad
Screaming up to heaven and I try to blame that moon
I hear a voice come screaming back
Son you can't outrun the truth
No you can't
I can't forget
I can never forget
I went bad

The Widower
04:21
|

It was a night like tonight
When the moon hung low blood red and shining bright
I looked into your deep dark eyes
You said you'd be my proud blushing bride
I took you round to see my brother and his wife
The only kinfolk I had left in this world alive
My gaze on you must have been blinded by pride
I couldn't see the deadly look of lust in his eyes
So meet me underneath that moon
You said you'd wed me in the month of June
Meet me underneath that moon
And I'll finally take my place
By your side
The trees and flowers were dead and gone
I worked those long hard hours to try to find our new home
I left you there unkind, I left you there alone
I was blind all the while to the wicked goings on
Spring returned, the flowers bloomed
My brother promised the bride to the groom
That secret would be washed out soon
When the river ran red like that shining full moon
So meet me underneath that moon
You said you'd wed me in the month of June
Meet me underneath that moon
And I'll finally take my place
By your side
Where the river runs wild
Where he pulled to the side and to hide all his sins
You had to die
Where he pulled to the side
Where he drowned my bride
With an old 45 he blew out his brains and he died
I came here tonight because all life is a lie
On the last night of June there's never a red moon
But I'm watching one rise
Your dress is still white as you lead me inside
Under that same awful moon
Forever's coming soon
And I'll finally take my place by your side

The Twister
02:55

Wind is howling on the plains where you wait
Like the big one's coming and the Twister's gonna take
Yeah the Twister's gonna break us down
Look around this house, you see your life and mine
The things we've built up
All the storms we survived somehow
When the Twister comes and the lightning strikes
It's gonna tear up by the root all the things we thought we could hide my love
Wind is howling on the plains where you wait
Like the big one's coming and the Twister's gonna take
Yeah the Twister's gonna break
