Good Enough 04:29
With his motorcycle helmet still on And his gas tank full He still hasn't looked away From the night sky he glanced at a few moments ago And the man inside working all night is just happy to be alive And as I ease my truck back out into the street And hope no cops pull up beside me Sometimes I forget that It's good enough Last night I got to thinking Things could be way worse Sometimes I forget that I'm doing good enough The hum of the AC unit Reminds me that it's summer outside And the hum of your voice in the shower Reminds me that I'm not alone tonight Yeah, I still ain't eating quite like I'd like to I got a few days left to pay day with my last check gone And sometimes I forget that it's good enough Last night I got to thinking That things could be way worse Sometimes I forget that I'm doing good enough My dreams are bigger than my bank account and my credit card's defunct I get 6 calls every 3 hours for debts that I can't outrun My mama says that I'll never buy a house I say I know I can hardly rent one But worst is when I forget That it's good enough Sometimes I forget that it's good enough Last night I got to thinking that things could be way worse And sometimes I forget that I'm doing good enough I'm not young enough to get away with it But I'm doing good enough.

When I write my letter to you friend I'll tell you how it's gonna read With the lonesome pining of Hesse mixed in with Candide In the barroom light You pale just right A pack of camel lights On a small town night If I don't make it home by labor day I tell you what I'm gonna miss The drugs on Summit and the 40oz and my sweet baby Maddie's lips Pressed on mine But girl I'm making that drive So warm the bottle of wine Between your country thighs And I'll be right on time It seems a bit dishonest to recreate any of the good ole times But if I'm lucky then the scene will seem enough to same that I can keep up til the morning light On the balcony Til its just you and me As the midwest sleeps And the cicadas speak

I met her on a Thursday night At the bar up by the TV We sat a talked and watched the Cowboys Though they weren't either of our teams I bravely asked you for your number when I felt my heart give a tug I went to bed the same lonesome old fool But I woke up in love I used to use the word love casually Used to use it on things it could never be Fleeting feelings that were gone by the end of the week Til I woke up in love A feeling in my mind but never my heart A poetic device only used in the arts But dreaming that night I saw your face in the stars And I woke up in love I was taken aback *Oh my lord* Tell me, what could of that been A feeling like love that I didn't think I believed in I've seen movies I heard songs I've read poetry and quoted along But not til i felt it did I know behind them words Was a feeling quite as strong I used to use the word love casually Used to use it on things it could never be Fleeting feelings that were gone by the end of the week Til I woke up in love A feeling in my mind but never my heart A poetic device only used in the arts But dreaming that night I saw your face in the stars And I woke up in love

Oh look it's my bed again My room ain't been cleaned since the last time You were in town my friend You still got some socks tangled up in the sheets down at the end Oh look it's my broken heart Guess we both thought it was on the mend But it takes more than time apart For a fool to understand it's the end Oh look it's a starry night Hope I get a chance to look up The perfect canopy for a fight The stillness is an indifference that I like But hey the point is this Turns out I still need you around Hey the point is this I still need you to make me, the me, that I want to be So come on back with my old routine I still need a stand to place my hat on Lend me a nicotine And call me each hour and ask me when I'll be home Send me back my old high esteem I don't think you meant to take it with you Got caught in your makeup bag On account of how quickly you left town last time And don't misread my imprecision with words Don't you know when I say, "Hey girl" What I mean is I love you Text me my final regret Every morning at 9 so I'll wake to it and never forget But hey the point is this Turns out I still need you around Hey the point is this I still need you to make me the me that I like to be And I broke all of my dishes And forgot what a kiss is And the only touch I've known is a touch of grey And the laundry still needs doing And the toothpaste is open And the lightbulbs are all burned out And my fridge just has ketchup My lawn needs a haircut And I'm cracking my first beer by 3 every day But hey the point is this I more than miss you

Hard times Yeah I've had a couple but I'm fine Living with the struggle has made mine A cultivated life Ruby Closing down the evening when you're free If you got a minute to see me I'm just trying to be nice Sit down by my side Not my left my right cuz my injury Baby you smell nice Plus I really like your company Smoke signs Reflecting from the fire off our eyes Couple bald tires and high pines And we're still on my street There's time For our intimations like tuned tines Plucked and vibrating with soft sighs By the fallen sheets Days that follow nights leave us in a light with a gentle breeze Lets not go outside Flip the other side of the record please Toll roads Unpaid tickets and cold snow Leaves us in the thickest of warm clothes Down the highway at night Sad homes Sunken in a panic of school loans Last spent paychecks a red nose And a miller lite The sky is horrifying Blank and cutting lines to a scattered beat Lets make this our night Promise that you'll try not to fight with me

Oh Ellie 03:44
Under an open sky Of ghostly light A man feels like He ain't much there But it soothes the mind To know with the passing of time Ones passions and crimes Turn to air Suns up baby and I'm way passed gone like I knew the way And every town looks the god damned same from that bad highway Home looks just as fleeting as that old river bend It's just one more place that I'll never see again Well I've heard some say There's an open plane That spreads for days Without a care And it's peopled with A lonesomeness That once come across just seems to stare Suns up baby and I'm way passed gone like I knew the way And every town looks the god damned same from that bad highway Home looks just as fleeting as that old river bend It's just one more place that I'll never see again Well I was passed Baton Rouge When I heard the news And knew it true I'd been displaced And then I had the thought That the dream I'd sought And believed well fought Had all been chase Oh Ellie Why you gotta go girl Oh Ellie Why you gotta go I chased your name Left good men slain And hardened my case against the world All in the name Of a long dead flame And the angry love of a pretty girl Suns up baby and I'm way passed gone like I knew the way And every town looks the god damned same from that bad highway Home looks just as fleeting as that old river bend It's just one more place that I'll never see again

Well It coulda been a Monday Lord it coulda been a Tuesday But it had to be a Saturday night that I'm waiting on my girl to call And I just had a payday I didn't need that last whisky So I'm sitting on a Saturday night waiting on my girl to call You really know how to make it hurt You really know how to make a man doubt his self worth look at me and I'm a tell you true I don't know why you do The things you do But It coulda been a Monday Lord it coulda been a Tuesday But it had to be a Saturday night that I'm waiting on my girl to call And I just had a payday I didn't need that last whisky So I'm sitting on a Saturday night waiting on my girl to call Maybe I'm a fool to count on you Maybe I'm to blame for giving you chances 1 and 2 Well I ain't giving you no more Past number 4 So please come through And It coulda been a Monday Lord it coulda been a Tuesday But it had to be a Saturday night that I'm waiting on my girl to call And I just had a payday I didn't need that last whisky So I'm sitting on a Saturday night waiting on my girl to call

Sleeping ain't sleeping without you it's just resting my eyes Dreaming ain't dreaming without you it's just thinking at night Loving ain't loving without you. It's just trying to find something to hold Living ain't living without you it's just growing old But if could have foreseen the pain I never would have got on that plane If I would have known what it's like to be ate up with longing all night I would have stayed I wish I'd have stayed Why must I leave just to see all the reasons you're perfect for me Why must I go before I know I'd already found home It ain't a life without you No it ain't a life without you Laughing ain't laughing without you it's just wrinkling my eyes Singing ain't singing without you it's just whispering lies Drinking ain't drinking without you. It's just drunk and alone Going out ain't going out without you it's just waiting to go home But if could have foreseen the pain I never would have got on that plane If I would have known what it's like to be ate up with longing all night I would have stayed I wish I'd have stayed Why must I leave just to see all the reasons you're perfect for me Why must I go before I know I'd already found home It ain't a life without you No it ain't a life without you

Hey friend have you ever been to Australia Well neither have I But i'd like to go real soon I got a woman down there with curls in her hair and even though I've never been I know when I go she's gonna make it feel like home I met her out traveling around But I'd like to see where she's from I wanna walk with her in her house And sing her all her favorite song I wonder does she have a porch or does she have a balcony I wonder when she's off her travels will she still make time to think about me Hey friend have you ever been to Australia Well neither have I But i'd like to go real soon I got a woman down there with curls in her hair and even though I've never been I know when I go she's gonna make it feel like home I wanna go down under Where we can lie around on beaches drinking 4x by the fire each night I wanna go down under Where I can hang a slash in the outback under stars so bright Sand upon our bodies stuck from ocean spray and sweat from our loving Cigarettes and showers burning candles making love til the morning Hey friend have you ever been to Australia Well neither have I But i'd like to go real soon I got a woman down there with curls in her hair and even though I've never been I know when I go she's gonna make it feel like home

You tell me not to worry Your feelings for him are gone But I don't think you see that you still care It's funny, to you it's silly There's nothing going on it's clear But I don't think you see that you still care I see it in the way that you ask him how his days been I see it in the way that you smile when he speaks There are days when I'm gone and you're alone with your phone And I can't help but wonder who you call first Him or me You tell me not to worry Your feelings for him are gone But I don't think you see that you still care It's funny, to you it's silly There's nothing going on it's clear But I don't think you see that you still care Now I'd never say that your way is towards lying No I can see that you believe you've left him behind But all I can say is to this day for as often as yall talk How come I know his name but he still doesn't know mine You tell me not to worry Your feelings for him are gone But I don't think you see that you still care It's funny, to you it's silly There's nothing going on it's clear But I don't think you see that you still care

You woke me up once again while I was sleeping You needed to hear me say your name You know my past and the women I have cheated And you need to know that I won't do you the same Leavings the last thing Oh baby leavings the last thing Leaving you is the last thing on my mind You woke me from dreaming But it was you I was seeing Because leaving you is the last thing on my mind I smiled and said you don't ever have to doubt me Can't you see it in that space just past my eyes I'm a new man reborn beside your body And it's you my love I've been searching for this whole time Leavings the last thing Oh baby leavings the last thing Leaving you is the last thing on my mind I love you completely So you can rest your head easy Because leaving you is the last thing on my mind
