All The Birds

When I get over the mountain
When I cross that river
When I get out of the deep dark forest
I will still be a beginner
When I look over my shoulder
At all I've left behind
I will forgive every sinner
And all of those who have treated me unkind
They will all go back to gold in good time
And All The Birds are Circling
All The Birds are Circling
All The Birds are Circling
My old hands don't look like they used to
After so much fruitless farming
Will I ever be contented
With a heart forever starving
And All The Birds are Circling
All The Birds are Circling
They're stealing every seed that I sow
All The Birds Are Circling
All The Birds Are Circling
One Day they're gonna fly me home
One old day they're gonna fly me home
Now I'm over the mountain
Crossed that river wide and swift
I got out of the deep dark forest
I never thought that it would look like this
I never thought it would look like this
And All The Birds are Circling
All The Birds are Circling
All The Birds are Circling

If I Was A Weathergirl

If I was a weathergirl
I would marry a racecar driver
I'd work-out every morning if my teeth were straight and white
Every now and then I might smoke a cigarrette
While he's driving around in circles in his number five Corvette
If I was a weathergirl
I would make hair appointments
At the end of every month so my roots would never show
I'd wear contact lenses
As I looked into the cameras
I'd go right on smiling through the rain and through the snow
And in my wedding picture
Me and my racecar driver
My shining silver lining
Under partly cloudy skies
When it's below freezing
He would keep me warm
And be my bolt of lightning that would quiet all my storms
Sometimes at night I'd dream about
The day they read the news
About the smoke and fire and the twisted metal ruins
And I'd be helpless watching from the sky
Like a weather balloon
I'd be home cooking dinner
While he's out there winning races
and while the Budweiser girls
Douse him with champagne
My girlfriends might ask me if I ever get jealous I'd say
"It's a payment on the house and, I can't complain"
If I was a weathergirl I would see into the future
And I would know for certain that you would be coming home
I wouldn't doubt my forecast
That we would be alright
And we would be together when we cross the finish line
We would be together when we cross the finish line
If I was a weathergirl I would marry a racecar driver

Something Holy
04:26
|

I've got a ready and a made up mind
The Lord won't take me before my time
Makes no difference if you laugh and scorn
Mark the following signs
To my reward
There's Something Holy
On the edge of the mountain
Let your faith break your fall
There's Something Holy
On the teeth of the Devil
I see the light as the blood is drawn
Touch my lips to the jar of poison
Feel the fire in my throat
Shout out loud as I tremble
With the quickening power
Of the Holy Ghost
~ solo ~
So let me die a common sinner
If my soul remains unclean
When I hear that demon's whisper
I will know I've been redeemed
Chorus
Copperhead and Diamondback
Lead me on that path divine
Steal the Viper from the feet of the Virgin
Hold it on the shoulders of your faithful child
Chorus

The Nice Guy
03:32
|

It could have been the geography
Some flaw in the technology
It could have been anything else but you trying to make a fool out of me
Stop shining lights in my direction
I get high on blind affection
It's a breeze that so seldom lifts my wings
They say there's no fury like a woman scored
So I'm telling you now so that you've been warned
There's more sorrow in a woman accidentally swooned
You picked the wrong girl to be so nice to
Intuition is hard not to trust
Imagination can be dangerous
With the night so dark we'd never know what's ahead of us
Thought I was easier to see through
I haven't got a lot to hold on to
With the light of my eyes you can read my cards
I can gamble with a chance of winning
Just wish you would have told me from the beginning
That the deck you were dealing
Was missing all the hearts
Chorus
Bridge -
You were looking for a friend in me
And you'll get one eventually
Gold like yours ain't so easily found
Hey you were nice enough
To let me down
So while I'm sitting here deconstructing
Wondering if I should say something
But I'm too sunk down even to say goodbye
With your fire burning back at home
So many walking wounded out here on the road
Maybe you shouldn't be such
A Nice Guy
