Six Miles 02:34
Water rising south of Plaquemine Hole in the levy six miles wide Hurricane don’t tell no lies Big oaks falling like toothpicks in the wind White swords of lightning ring in the dawn Nothing gonna change this is where you belong Sparks flying down that telephone line Gotta tell someone that you don’t mind dying Can’t wash the soul out of these eyes Hang on tight, my love Night falling; throw down what you got That saving grace is a cruel master with a bitter after taste Ain't no need to apologize, no call for prayer But riddle me this: why do you care Cause even in the darkest skies, a lonely sun still shines And the hurricane don’t tell no lies Chorus
2.
Used to have some loving With my wine Used to have some money Spend it all the time Used to have some friends In my daydream Lost up in the clouds Where the angels carry me Born with a passion That keeps me blue Used to have some loving To see me through Wise men pay their dues Crossroads please be true Ain't no place for fools In the chapel of the blues Please lord hear the call Give me love Turn my heart to sunshine Fire from above Let her feel All I know Let me praise the highway Don’t ever fall below Born with a passion That keeps me blue Used to have some loving To see me through

Gasoline 03:52
Tom grew up huffing gasoline Now he’s the law man over me But a fearful soul is never free He found himself in jail Tom got out, went to another state Turned his pride into his fate And now he guards the pearly gates Empty as the sky Three dark crosses burning in the night Those country boys throw a hell of a fight Everything’s crooked but love and the grave I’m gonna be an honest man someday Tom had a sister, her name was Jane Tough as nails, and soft as rain Fell in love with cocaine Til’ a polo boy gave her a ring But she never did feel the same She found herself alone Chorus Years flow by and the love turns cold Every crown weighs more than gold Rinse off the dirt and forsake a name But you can’t forget that southern thing That whimsical beast with musical wings Every man a sinner, every man a king Pain makes the angels sing Down in the third world
4.
Starlit 04:42
I need money and I need it quick Fire burning; only got one wick Pretty things are only half of it I’ll be the cherry of your cigarette If you keep my dreams starlit City lights have burned a hole In the back of my country soul Now I crave what I used to loathe All except for you Chorus You come round and my breath gets hot I take you down, only takes one shot It’s what you feel, and not what you got But I got everything you need Chorus The emptiness never goes away The more you know, the less you say But I was hoping that you could stay Watch me fade away Chorus
