I'm Gonna Leave You
03:57

I'll meet you out for drinks
And I'll talk to all your friends
And I'll ask about your day
And let you spend the night again
You should know
I'm gonna leave you
You should know
I'm gonna leave you
I'll let you call me darling
Run your fingers 'cross my skin
Play some music for the neighbors
While we break my mattress in
You should know
I'm gonna leave you
You should know
I'm gonna leave you
'Cause when it comes down to the wire
I'll just cut and run once more
One morning you'll wake up alone
An empty bed and an open door
I just don't have it in me
To stick around to take this chance
I love the feeling of a first kiss
I won't let it be my last
I know you're looking for a romance
Someone to stick by for a while
I've got damage I'm still fixing
I'm still phoning in this smile
Don't you ever say you love me
Don't you ever make a vow
I won't fake any emotion
Or act like I can stick this out
'Cause when it comes down to the wire
I'll just cut and run once more
One morning you'll wake up alone
An empty bed and an open door
I just don't have it in me
To stick around and take this chance
I love the feeling of a first kiss
I won't let it be my last
I am your blue tide receding
I'm the calm before the storm
I'm your dream before you wake up
I'm the breath within your lungs
You should've known
I'm gonna leave you
You should've known
I'm gonna leave you
'Cause when it comes down to the wire
I'll just cut and run once more
One morning you'll wake up alone
An empty bed and an open door
I just don't have it in me
To stick around and take this chance
I love the feeling of a first kiss
I won't let it be my last
I'm gonna leave you
I'm gonna leave you

What Kind Of Man
05:52

Your shady ways
You kept behind smoke
Leading me on
The punchline to your joke
Then you put me out
Out on the street
Too drunk to stand
On your own two feet
Tell me, what kind of man
What kind of man does that
You told your friends
I was the best thing around
Could've fooled me
The way you put me down
Kept me so low
Watched me swallow dirt
Damn good thing I know how to drink
So I can act like it didn't hurt
Tell me, what kind of man
What kind of man does that
Hey, what kind of man
What kind of man does that
You took my peaches when you were
Sweet like cream
Then something curdled
And you acted so damn mean
When my momma called me, you would
Hang up the phone,
Say "if it ain't me, babe, you better act like you ain't home"
Treat me like a fool
While you're out running 'round
Said it's your brother knocking those
Back doors down
So when I packed up my things
And walked out the front door
You came crawling back to me, said you won't
Do that shit no more
Tell me, what kind of man
What kind of man does that
Hey, what kind of man
What kind of man does that
What kind of man
What kind of man does that

Higher Ground

So you and me, babe
We've been here before
Turning to run from every open door
Subtle touch, my fingers in yours
To speak when we can't find the words
You move like you carry the world on your shoulders
I've been living
In the shadows
Shine your light
And pull me close
You've got me at the mercy of your love
I'm singing praises to your higher ground
Show me I am strong enough
To meet your glory bound
Staring back at all my faults
Fighting fears that drag me down
You take me as I am
At the foot of your higher ground
Desperation and pain
Enough to make my body shake
You keep me steady when it crashes through like waves
I am no simple love
I am stuck in my own ways
You ease my mind and turn the tide and lift me to where I am safe
I've been fighting
Letting go
You came along
And cut the rope
You've got me at the mercy of your love
I'm singing praises to your higher ground
Show me I am strong enough
To meet your glory bound
Staring back at all my faults
Fighting fears that drag me down
You take me as I am
At the foot of your higher ground
I won't be your broken promise
Let my heartbeat show I want this
I won't be your broken promise
Let my heartbeat scream I want this
You've got me at the mercy of your love
I'm singing praises to your higher ground
Show me I am strong enough
To meet your glory bound
Staring back at all my faults
Fighting fears that drag me down
You take me as I am
At the foot of your higher ground

XXX Moonshine

Can't you tell what kind of mood I'm in?
I want to drink your wine, I want to sip your gin
Draw your marks all across my skin
Save your prayers 'cause I don't mind sin
Can't you tell what kind of mood I'm in?
I wanna drink your wine, I wanna sip your gin
Drink straight moonshine and call me back
Say you wanna have another heart attack
Do it well, yeah you do it right
Can tell it's gonna be a hell of a night
Do me well, you do me right ,yeah
I can tell it's gonna be a damn good night
Ooh, ooh
Aah, ooh
One step back and now walk this way
I can tell you're a real home-grown earthquake
Stomp your feet, make the whole room shake
Bend your bones 'til they're about to break
Stomp your feet, make the whole room shake yeah
Bend your bones 'til they're about to break
Ooh, ooh
Aah, ooh
My heart keeps running up a bar tab
That I can't pay
Maybe you and I could think of settling
Some other way
Can't you tell what kind of mood I'm in
I wanna drink your wine, I wanna sip your gin
Draw your marks all across my skin
Save your prayers 'cause I don't mind sin
Can't you tell what kind of mood I'm in?
I wanna drink your wine, I wanna sip your gin
Ooh, ooh
Aah, ooh

Diamond Shine
04:15

I'm on the wrong side of the river
The tide is high and I'm sinking low
My oars are lost in the muddy water
And I've got no place to go
I see the skyline of the city
It seems a thousand miles away
It's getting too dark to tell apart
The blood I've bled from the cold, red clay
I'll make my way
You'll see some day
Just you wait until I make my money
Just you wait until I get mine
Then we'll see who's jokes are funny
The we'll see who has that diamond shine
I'm gonna trade my pain for pleasure
The whole world is in my mind's eye
My heart's an ember under pressure
I'll dig to find that diamond shine
I'm tired of standing in the shadows
Too afraid to face the day
When I find a voice to call out
They all turn and walk away
Well it's been an uphill battle
But I'm bound to win the war
And may God forgive the souls of those
Who cut me down before
Just you wait until I make my money
Just you wait until I get mine
Then we'll see who's jokes are funny
The we'll see who has that diamond shine
I'm gonna trade my pain for pleasure
The whole world is in my mind's eye
My heart's an ember under pressure
I'll dig to find that diamond shine
It's so hard to say a prayer
With hands that hold me down
They're pouring out their holy water
Just so they can say they're standing on higher ground
Just you wait until I make my money
Just you wait until I get mine
Then we'll see who's jokes are funny
The we'll see who has that diamond shine
I'm gonna trade my pain for pleasure
The whole world is in my mind's eye
My heart's an ember under pressure
I'll dig to find that diamond shine
