LYRICS
1. Pour On Me
well the rain is about to come down
and dry up all these tears
yeah i still can't make it down town
even after all these years
let it pour on me darlin'
let it roll like the thunder cries
well the words are about to fall out
as the cage is a rattlin' my bones
if everyone's filled with doubt
then why do i feel so alone
let it pour on me darlin'
let it roll like the thunder cries
and the music plays in my head
when the guitar is in my hands
as my lover is makin' my bed
Lord knows she's gonna make me a man
2. Everything That's Wrong
all these days and nights
i sell my soul
i sell it twice
and i open myself
for everyone to see me
but they don't
it's alright now
all these years are gone
with nothing left
but one more song
and i smoke myself stupid
until i can('t) see
everything that's wrong
with me
it's alright now
3. Walls
there's a sweet Hallelujah coming from my grave
i know i'm not the only one afraid
i know i'm not the only one afraid
lying in your lovers bed searching for a God
i know i'm not the only one whose lost
i know i'm not the only one whose lost
oh these walls could break me right in two
til' i'm staring back at you through myself
there's a southern rose here to save the day
i know i'm not the only one to save
i know i'm not the only one to save
forgotten like her name nothing stays the same
i know i'm not the only one whose changed
i know i'm not the only one who changed
oh these walls could break me right in two
til' i'm staring back at you through myself
oh these walls could break us right in two
til' i'm staring back at you through myself
4. I'm The Same
red river roll on by
couldn't catch me if you try
Lord you get deeper everyday
in a puddle in a parking lot
in a field of forget-me-not's
Lord they get taller everyday
i'm the same
i've always been
i'll always be
i'm the same
one trick pony in a one horse town
tried to change they put him down
some still talkin' bout the day
i'm not the kind to reminisce
rather be lookin' out like this
eyes forward head straight into the day
i'm the same
i've always been
i'll always be
i'm the same
used to be where i once grew up
now it's the wind in a Dixie cup
like they say things change
that is good when things are bad
that is bad when things are good
either way...
i'm the same
5. Green Room
women are crazy
men are mean
yeah they're all kinda lazy
i'm somewhere in between
can't find no medium
can't find no happy place
yeah i turn the other cheek
then get slapped in the face
but i'm chasing down rivers
right to the oceans bay
where i'm fishin' for words
that i could never say
oh oh
oh oh
yeahy yeah
i'm sittin' in a green room
tryin' to find myself
North Hampton you're too soon
can you find me a little help?
cause i can't find the wind
to carry me away
yeah i can't find the words
so there's nothing left to say
but i'm chasin' down rivers
right to the oceans shore
where i'm fishin' for someone
i don't know no more
oh oh
oh oh
yeahy yeah
6. Last Train Home
this wind it blows me like a hurricane
goin' through your house of pain
this sun it blinds me like a passing train
go on pass on by forget my name
never could find someone to give me just what i want
until you came along
don't forget to remind me of all the things i never could do
don't forget to remind me and i'll get back on you
this rain it floods me like an endless well
buried in the ground too far to tell...
how i never could no i never could no i never tried
still i wondered why until now
never could find someone to give me just what i want
until you came along
don't forget to remind me of all the things i never could do
don't forget to remind me and i'll get back on you
7. Don't Mean A Thing
there you are running circles
there i am lying flat
won't you share some of your kindness?
Lord knows i'll pay it back
out here in the cold
Lord knows were wonderin' why
i'm gonna run til' i'm broken
you're gonna run til' you die
but i can't find a reason
no i can't find a reason
why i try year after year
except it don't mean a thing
it'll never mean a thing
my darlin' without you here

then buy me with your charms

all my life i've been wondering
wondering how to get back to you

all my life i've been wondering
wondering how i could know
hold me close little darlin'

she's a wildflower child on the run
she's a wildflower child in the sun
she's a wildflower child on the run
go on, do what you and keep on doing it until you get done
