Small town Bringdown
Been to Reno
Drives an El Camino
Can you dig that style?
Hip canteen
You always make the scene
You're a crazy child.
It's a sad day
Bourbons all around
To stop that feeling when you're living in a small town
You're long and lean
But things don't get you down
You're a top ten kingpin
In the borders of your hometown
Can't get hip
You work the jobs I've quit
Can you dig that style?
Won't admit
You just don't give a shit
You're a crazy child.
It's a sad day
Bourbons all around
To stop that feeling when you're living in a small town
You're long and lean
But things don't get you down
You're a top ten kingpin
In the borders of your hometown
Can't live to die-too easy
Why stick around
I want my live to please me
Not another small town hometown bringdown
This is it
You might as well get pissed
Can you dig that style?
Make your trip
There ain't that much to miss
You're a crazy child
It's a sad day
Bourbons all around
To stop that feeling when you're living in a small town
You're long and lean
But things don't get you down
You're a top ten kingpin
In the borders of your hometown
Last American Exit
You know the reasons I can't conceal
You know I'm leaving you obviously know how I feel
You know I'm tired of crawling 'hind my name
Among the crowd
It's not a matter of wrong or right
It ain't much better than drinking and looking to fight
It's not as easy as calling out your name
When I'm down
I'm on the last American exit to the north land
I'm on the last American exit to my homeland
I'm on the last American exit to my last chance
They keep calling out my name
I shout it down
You've made then wonder and know for sure
You've made them hunger at night and then run for the door
You know you'll probably cry like Caesar's son
When you're found
It's not your place it's another town
Let's face it baby I'm up and then baby I'm down
You'll watch the border offer you fame
And watch it drown
I'm on the last American exit to the north land
I'm on the last American exit to my homeland
I'm on the last American exit to my last chance
They keep calling out my name
I shout it down
Know you neighbors and know they'll take us
Know my city it's just like theirs are
Hope I make it I know I'm gonna make it somehow
Know my savior he knows you shakers
Know my pity I'll see you later
I'd like to stay but I know it doesn't make it somehow
I'm on the last American exit to the north land
I'm on the last American exit to my homeland
I'm on the last American exit to my last chance
They keep calling out my name
I shout it down
They keep callin' out my name
They keep callin' out my name
They keep callin' out my name
I shout it down
Killing Time
I need you confidence
Need to know you're mine
When it gets right down
To the killing time
I know your heart is bad
Bit it's all I've ever had
We can live you lives
On this righteous crime
I got kicked when I was down
And a sailor took my girl to town
Then she licked my wounds
With the sea dog's salt
I drank a half a bottle of Jack
Swore I'd never take you back
By the bottle's end
I was on that phone
What you call compromise
I don't understand
What call compromise
I don't understand
How do you walk away?
How do you walk away?
How do you walk away?
From a woman
That gone and done you wrong?
Evelyn
Evelyn
Evelyn
Where were you last night?
Evelyn
Evelyn
Where were you last night?
Waited on your front porch 'til the break of day
But when dawn broke I could no longer wait for...
Evelyn
Evelyn
Where were you last night?
Evelyn
Evelyn
Where were you last night?
Must have phoned a million times no answer came
What kind of fool an I to play the game with...
Evelyn
Evelyn
Where were you last night?
Evelyn
Evelyn
Where were you last night?
This has gone on before
I can't take it no more
I'll even up the score
And get away from...
Evelyn
Evelyn
Where were you last night?
Evelyn
Evelyn
Where were you last night?
If you must have your way you won't have me
I won't be pushed around I must get free from...
Evelyn

Where were you last night?

Cemetery Sideroad
I had a heart, but I used to be older
I'm not like I used to be
Had you, but I guess it's all over
You talk, but you're not like me
You talk and you talk like some weird saint
What do you think that could taint?
When you're nothing I an and I'm something you ain't
Hold me, until the night makes colder
Tell me, how life's made you bad
Kick me when I choke and I smolder
When I'm not what you had
I'm looking for a cemetery sideroad
I'm screaming like a lighthouse lamp
I'm chasing after what I think that I'm owed
Like a French foreign legion tramp
You swim in an ocean that's storming
You eat when the wolves all do
You ache like a mother in mourning
When you're left alone with you
Highway Girl
I'm going down to see my highway girl
She just came back from around the world
I'm gonna get me a gun, I'm gonna stand on guard
In a little white booth in her front yard
Throwing rocks at her window what could she do
If you throw enough rocks one might break through
Well she looked out her window when the police came
To see a big tin man dancing in the rain
Oh- my little highway girl
Oh- my little highway girl
She said, "Don't you think babe you push a bit too fast?"
I said, "Slowing down don't make it last"
And a memory's never gonna set you free
Go out and see that world and bring it home to me
Oh- my little highway girl
Oh- my little highway girl
Oh- my little highway girl
Oh- my little highway girl
