Holed up, out of the city Bounty on my head I don't care if you call me "brother" Nothing you say is gonna bring me back Holed up, out of the city Bounty on my head I don't care if you call me "brother" Nothing you say is gonna bring me back I got the same gun, with new bullets A long line of my new sins I'm trigger-happy maniac, so tell me father How many sins must I confess? Holed up, out of the city Bounty on my head I don't care if you call me "brother" Nothing you say is gonna bring me back I've earned every thread from the gallows Robbed the rich to feed the pure When I'm swinging from a tree will you tell my daughter I'm a holy vigilante in the devil's door Holed up, out of the city Bounty on my head I don't care if you call me "brother" Nothing you say is gonna bring me back Holed up, out of the city Bounty on my head I don't care if you call me "brother" Nothing you say is gonna bring me back

Ghost In The Radio 03:02
lyrics

You arrived with good intentions and you never meant to leave. I handed you my secrets and you wore them on your sleeve. Truth is I'm a stepping stone on your way to greater things. There's a ghost in the radio that keeps it on repeat. There's a demon in a bottle trying to drag me to my knees. And I can't afford to fall apart every time we meet. Oh, woah-oh, there's a ghost after me... I got vengeance on my mind and anger in my chest. All my skeletons have eyes and they're shaking their fists. Truth is I'm done telling myself I'm a man without regrets... There's a ghost in the radio that keeps it on repeat. There's a demon in a bottle trying to drag me to my knees. And I can't afford to fall apart every time we meet. Oh, woah-oh, there's a ghost after me... I got the devil on my tail, and his hounds have caught my scent. And I begged the angel Gabriel for a quick and painless death. Truth is I'll be running till the Good Lord takes me in. There's a ghost in the radio that keeps it on repeat. There's a demon in a bottle trying to drag me to my knees. And I can't afford to fall apart every time we meet. Oh, woah-oh, there's a ghost, there's a ghost in the radio that keeps it on repeat. There's a demon in a bottle trying to drag me to my knees. And I can't afford to fall apart every time we meet. Oh, woah-oh, there's a ghost after me...

Iowa 02:53
lyrics

I was born just west of the river Mississippi mud running in my veins On the road is where I found freedom In hotel rooms is where I found my peace I've spent my whole life running From Iowa It's gonna be It's gonna be It's gonna be a long way home It's gonna take It's gonna take It's gonna take my heart and soul My heart and soul We started out before I started school Mom and dad said, "we're headed south, we're gonna move" I hung on, for a year or two after But I forgot, that house on Trail Ridge Road I've spent my whole life running From Iowa It's gonna be It's gonna be It's gonna be a long way home It's gonna take It's gonna take It's gonna take my heart and soul My heart and soul

Drink You Straight 04:42
lyrics

I'm afraid to say what I need to say Light a fire and watch you walk away It's hell to walk a straight line I was never yours And you were never mine I'm afraid to hear what I need to hear To clean off the glass on that mirror It's hell to walk a fine line Between never yours And forever mine I can't drink you straight Mix it with the heartache Stir it til the water is clear I know I'm too late When I end up at your place Say the word and I'll disappear But I won't forget you dear I'm afraid that you know all you need to know The first time was the last you'll be left alone It's hell to remember sometimes That I was never yours And you were never mine I'm afraid that you'll go where you're gonna go When the smoke clears you'll be gone baby gone It's hell to imagine sometimes I'll never be yours And you'll never be mine I can't drink you straight Mix it with the heartache Stir it til the water is clear I know I'm too late When I end up at your place Say the word and I'll disappear But I won't forget you dear

Glory 05:06
lyrics
buy track
I dreamed I saw the devil Dressed in his Sunday suit He tried to pull me closer But my feet, they would not move This train is bound for glory, love If I look over my shoulder I always see him there He's dressed like friends and family Never lost his icy stare This train is bound for glory, love Ain't it strange, sometimes Tickets saved for evil men and liars Ain't it strange, my love This train is bound for glory after all The blood dried on my hands Weighs heavy on my heart The water's washed my spirit But my body's worlds apart This train is bound for glory, love My feet will soon grow weary My strength will surely fail Board the door to the passenger car With three long rusty nails This train is bound for glory, love Ain't it strange, sometimes Tickets saved for evil men and liars Ain't it strange, my love This train is bound for glory after all I'll take my sins to my grave Bury my body with my shame Ash to ash and dust to dust
