table's (got a lot of stains)
this table's got a lot of stains
shows just where i've been
nowhere except a bottle's length
drinkin' the night away
two folks can be alright together
not me, tonight's not for two people
just me and a bottle of drink
drinkin' the night away
i didn't make it to my bed last night
i woke up and i was still in my chair
i didn't make it to my bed last night
i woke up and i was still in my chair

charlotte, she drinks up the table
she has pulled me aside
to say i'm a little worried
the best that i've known
i'm a little worried
have all been
have all been
really bad
can we still be friends?
without all of this can we still feel loved?
but we're still hung up in the glass
with our feet on the floor
what's bringin' us down
will set us straight
charlotte, she drinks up the table
and she has pulled me aside
to say i'm a little worried
the best that i've know
yeah i'm a little worried
they've all been
they've all been
really bad

carry nation
pick me out so she won't
she put all the lovers over here
and all the others over there
with that she carried the nation
and filled them with their fill of verse
she smashed their bottles
and i just stood underfoot
see she, what she said was
"i am a self-appointed this and that"
to me that would make you a rat
and you'd better believe it
i said you'd believe it
i want you gone
and now you're gone
and that just makes us all so happy
now we can drink

To Find Favor

to find favor
to find favor
in both joy and sorrow
is like winning at everything
is like you might think
you've been born again
to find strength
it often comes after
the longest and hardest
like sunday mornin'
often comes after
a hell of a saturday night
to find my head
is working slower
but the words seem sharper
like winning at everything
like you might think
you been born again
like winning at everything
born again
like you might think
you've been born again

mason / dixon
i wanna add a new song to my country
of the simplest words i can tell
i wanna share everything with you
everything but the pain
i don't want to share the pain with you
everything but the pain's for you
growing up you shared everything with me
except what i was too young for
would it make a difference if you were still around
would it make a difference if you were still around
i wanna add a new song to my country
shouldn't matter where i'm from
i'm straddlin' the mason / dixon line
i said so what, so what
it shouldn't make a difference where i'm from
it's one big country where i'm from
what's the difference
what's the difference
what's the difference
what's the difference
where i'm from

bridge
i'm a bridge so run over me
cos it's times like these that are dirty
ground's not hard enough anymore
so i keep the roses under the bridge
run together, run to me
i'm a bridge so run over me
show me your teeth and your sunburned feet
cross my heart i won't sink
i'm a ship so don't sink me
cos leaks get bigger so don't sting me
i could give up but it's only dirt
we're made of love and love's bigger than dirt
run together, run to me
i'm a bridge so run over me
show me your teeth and your sunburned feet
cross my heart, i won't sink

i guess we'll have to say hello
again
i guess we'll have to say hello

see in the all-stars
while time talks through you
it's never there when i get there
in actual, i don't want to
find out why they always
i just wanna turn on time, while
tell no-way to go home
tell me that went out there
stare straight ahead
right on, to be jump up to it
see in the all-stars
right on, to be jump up to it
right on, see in the all-stars
right on, to the middle where i was fished
right on, see in the all-stars
see in the all-stars
see in the all-stars

sunglass
pile up on in
that side of town
ports full, a bucket's full
and colored minds
sunglasses, eyes full
and pictures fell off the walls
of virginia and
got it stolen
the shoulder bumps
and the fix is comfort
here's where the phone rings
and the line is gone
the fix is cold, the cup is full
the end is a bookend
the fix is cold, the cup is full
the end is a bookend . . .

Icicles Are Echoes

icicles are echoes
it is always frozen
no matter where it comes from
swallow it and swim fish
swallow it and swim
icicles are echoes (icicles are echoes)
that come from inside
it is something like being a child
when all the lines aren't drawn so much
and yes i worry, but all in confidence
and when i come i cross that wire
yes i worry (yes i worry)
flock to mind (flock to mind)
yes i worry
of like a seagull
spin, spun in the air
you are my sister now
and your back i've lost sight of
slow down if you can
slow down if you care
of like a seagull
and icicles are echoes
icicles are echoes (icicles are echoes)
flock to mind (flock to mind)
icicles are echoes

How Soon 'Til

how soon 'til
how soon 'til the colors
comes back into your face, how soon?
we're all hurtin'
it's a sight for sore eyes, still
before we're brought to tears
could you please keep it down
could you please keep it down
that cartoon got that funny
could you please keep it down
that cartoon can't be that funny
give it ten years and there
should be an easier way of
of dealing with it all
after the tower's been torn down
could you please keep it down
that cartoon got that funny
could you please keep it down
that cartoon can't be that funny
it's easier to find
colors, how soon
it's easier to find
colors, how soon
