Passport 03:44
Terrible lies cut me right down to my bones No one told me I wouldn't go back home Wonderful highs ride 'em up then back down low No one told me I couldn't go back home. Put your passport in your pocket Come the morning, didn't go far Get away from yourself Where you go, there you are Wrap that band around me tight Everything's better in black and white Wipe the colors out of the light Everything's better in black and white Put your passport in your pocket Come the morning, didn't go far Get away from yourself Where you go, there you are I take it back every word I said Everything I thought, every wish I had Took the notebooks, paper scraps. Everything I thought, every wish I had Put your passport in your pocket Come the morning, didn't go far Get away from yourself Where you go, there you are Put your passport in your pocket Come the morning, didn't go far Get away from yourself Where you go, there you are

A caravan of silver cars follows me on home That's the only thing keeps me moving on A soft song plays slowly on the radio That's the only thing keeps me moving on The biggest diamond can't shine as bright You're the warmest star in my sky tonight A shadow of green across the wooded land, That's the only thing keeps me moving on. An old familiar place somewhere to rest my bones That's the only thing that keeps me moving on The biggest diamond can't shine as bright You're the warmest star in my sky tonight A rhythm from the wheels rolling with the road That's the only thing that keeps me moving on A caravan of silver cars follows me on home That's the only thing keeps me moving on The biggest diamond can't shine as bright You're the warmest star in my sky tonight

I'll pretend to be patient, you pretend to be fine I 'II act like this is what happens, you'll act like you're kind Blame the horizon, blame the birds at break of dawn When they promised the day or the sky touches down Blame the flutter of the baby, and the clothes in the drawer And you in your stockings and dirt on the floor I serve you whiskey in a broken glass, it made you cry Just because we're not holding hands doesn't mean I didn't try Blame the horizon, blame the birds at break of dawn When they promised the day or the sky touches down Blame the flutter of the baby, and the clothes in the drawer And you in your stockings and dirt on the floor It ended in a whisper, waited while the phone rang The last thing I heard, boot heels and the screen door bang Blame the horizon, blame the birds at break of dawn When they promised the day or the sky touches down Blame the flutter of the baby, and the clothes in the drawer And you in your stockings and dirt on the floor

Labor day storm, a labor of love Things that wrap you around Blow with the wind, blow down the house Drive it straight through the ground A beckoning snowflake, a blizzard of white The thoughts that turn into sounds Freeze up the key holes, heaters and wheels Locking us into this house The weeds in the garden, taller than rooftops The vines that threaten the sky Confronted by danger, they laugh at your posture And ask if you ever thought why Forget about troubles, forget about worries No one remembers their names For if you want something to keep you ungrounded Just ask for the same old refrain No sooner forgotten with calendars turning And yesterday's news turns to wine My sweetest obsession should otherwise mention This little disaster is mine This little disaster is mine This little disaster is mine

Rich Man 04:45
Get a rich man into heaven, going to need a little trick Get a rich man into heaven, going to need a bigger stick Nothing is ever easy when pieces just don't fit Can't buy your way to heaven 'cause heaven won't go for it Gonna see my lady in the evening gonna see my lady after eight Gonna see my lady in the garden gonna meet my lady at the gate Nothings going to happen because I always show up late Can't buy your way to forgiveness because forgiveness just can't wait If you only give a man a bullet, he's gonna need a gun If you only give a man one bullet, he'll come and take your son Nothing is ever simple when the world is on the run Can't buy your way to freedom because freedom's all or none

Where's this thing called karma I've been waiting all my life Took a train to Pittsburgh Took a lot to cry Sometimes I climb back down Just to crawl on up again Took a train to nowhere Just to shed my skin They say the ceasefire 's over The fighting starts again Ride that train to the border Tell me how this all ends Found your things in my pile We don't talk these days Follow tracks to the junction Cross the road, look both ways
