Everybody needs, Someone to lean on Everybody needs, To remember where they've been Everybody needs, Some where to call heaven Everybody needs, Something to believe in Chorus Everybody needs, A personal Savior Everybody needs, A Hand From A Friend Everybody Needs, A Personal Savior Everybody Needs, Freedom From Their Sin Verse Everybody's gonna feel hopeless and lost Everybody's going To blame and taste fear Everyone Hears A Still Small Voice Everyone Is Going to shed a tear Everyone Needs To Learn to break bread Everyone needs faith Not a sign Everyone needs to carry their own cross Everyone Needs the blood bottled like wine | ||
Mamma |
||
|
Bird's have their nests, and foxes have their holes I have no place to lay my head Been 40 days tempted by the devil Like a reed shaking in the wind Wheels of time are like caffeine To pass this cup from me kneeling in the tears that drop like blood My face is the glow of destiny Chorus Mamma say a prayer for me Verse I heard the devil speak like tongues As he left the throne of grace I felt the wisdom of the ages But he never showed his face He danced on the head of the cross Lost his footing and he fell Stole a kiss from Jesus Burned his lips snow white pale | ||

Life Is The Blues |
||
|
Cradle Me In your wooden arms Twist your flowers around my head I cried all the tears I could While you slept I bled Press My body until it splinters Pull my flesh apart When I Break into Wet your lips with my heart Chorus I turn to you But you never Knew me I forgive you for the things that you do verse Weight my bones down Lay your soul down on me With your suffocation loneliness And hands that are clean Lead me by the hand Like a lamb before the slaughter Nail my body to the southern wind I am your willing martyr | ||
|
Life is the Blues |
||
|
There's a baby crying, A new born who won't be content When he becomes a man he'll wonder where his childhood went He'll feel the pain of life, Choke his last breath Life is no bed of roses Chorus Life is the blues Nothing we can do Life is the blues Verse The last time he saw his wife she was marching out to sea He was cruel and crazy, She was beautiful, She's been set free Lines on her face The pain of reality He broke her hearty then left her alone to be Chorus Life is the blues Nothing we can do Life is the blues Nothing more to lose All this guilt he holds within he let her slip away It's to late to say those things she needed to hear him say He never said I love you I want you to stay He'd give his soul to relive that day He heard his son singing | ||

Help |
||
|
Hide away hell City of cardboard boxes Lost their hope Look what it has cost us Sleeping in the alleys, Eating from the garbage cans At night their cold They need a helping hand their hunger is deep, No money to their name Environment controls them It only brings them pain Suffocated and lonely, painting the roses red If they knew what we had planted, we might just loose our heads Pre-Chorus hanging them for murder when they don't own a gun Their sentenced to death before the trials begun Chorus Let's show them some compassion Let's show them that we care Lets show the some compassion Help them breath the air When people are divided you know they can't stand Let's Stand and be united, and save this promised land The garbage is piled high from with out and within Land of milk and honey this is where we begin | ||

Only hurts when I laugh |
||
|
My mind works all the time is that why your afraid of me Or is it my tattoo's you can't help but to see They say that I am complex Don't believe everything I read And sometimes it is hard to explain all that I have seen I don't smile for pictures, my success is overdone God watches over me I am the fortunate one Give me wings of angels Rise above self righteousness There is only so much of this world my soul can digest Chorus It only hurts when I laugh You can look a man dead in the eye See deep within his soul You can walk a mile in his shoes And never know all he knows Verse My songs aren't always perfect cause the truth it sometimes hurts And even though it is painful, you know all the words I've learned to shut the world out and to let the spirit in It's only when I'm honest that miracles begin | ||

Thrill A Minute |
||
|
There's a peeping tom in the eye of God's house Shooting insulin as quiet as a church mouse Tried to clean his bones from a suffer well Turned his head couldn't stand the smell Chorus Thrill a minute Verse Life size crucifix was stolen from the wall The Organist played Amazing Grace for them all A hooker in a red skirt testified and repented While the deacons passed a snake stared and squinted Someone had a spirit Ran up and down the isle When the shouting stopped the choir laid in a pile Bell ringer pull the rope and was lifted of his feet Pastor disobeyed took the money to the street Paper taxis pull of eyes Chocolate Pulpit racing by Floating boardwalks of candy canes Cashmere penguins with see through wings | ||

Have You Made It |
||
|
Skillet blonde baby going to milk it dry Ain't got no horseshoes but got a sparkle in his eye Warm and cuddled in a burlap sack Step on the crack and your going to break your mother's back Chorus Have you made it where you wanna be Verse Runt of the litter kissed the pavement ever since Told him to stand up straight but he's hooked and bent Feels like a sticky rim soda can Half full, half empty, couldn't tell you were he's been Embracing the fog like a friend in the bay Charted a boat headed out to sea Found religion but did he find Jesus Walking on the water Or lost in mystery | ||

How Long |
||
|
Mary don't you cry, kiss me now so I can die Alabaster laughing sigh, A sinner with holy eyes Wash my feet with her tears, Choke and strangle sister fear Let down your pretty hair Touch the day anoin t the year Chorus How Long not long, Reap what you sow How Long not long His truth is marching on How long not long been to the mountain top How long not long till Jesus calls me home Verse You always have the poor I prepare a place for you My cup runs over rod and staff will comfort you Kill the shepherd the sheep will scatter across the barren land The hour has now come Wash the silver from your hands Liverpool is dead, and the sounds that fill the air The president went to Dallas and he never came out of there If Jesus Christ offends you, you wear X's in your eyes Bob Dylan never changed the world and I don't believe he ever tried | ||

Nobodys Hero |

|
One slot machine one stop light town And if Jesus came back tonight To every story there are two sides If you walk with the devil he'll tell you a lie Rolls Royce coming through the air (I'm Nobodies Hero) I hope that I will see you there< (I'm Nobodies Hero) Hit the ground running on the streets of gold (I'm Nobodies Hero) Gotta make time for the President's soul (I'm Nobodies Hero) Never believed in the music The way I believe in you Never been a lover, always been a fighter (I'm Nobodies Hero) Fought all my life trying to find love (I'm Nobodies Hero) Love of Many Shall Wax Cold (I'm Nobodies Hero) What I do I do alone (I'm Nobodies Hero) Never believed in the music the way I believe in you Desires, Fears, My doubts, My tears My Joys, My Loves, To him above My anguish My lust The skeletons I dust I've walked through the valley of dry bones (I'm Nobodies Hero) I was brushed by the shadow of the holy ghost (I'm Nobodies Hero) I've greased leprosy through my hair (I'm Nobodies Hero) And felt a rushing mighty wind (I'm Nobodies Hero) Never believed in the music The way I believe in you | ||

I'm the Devil |
||
|
Give me a convertible and a girl in a white dress Faster she says, I like that the best Radio playing all her favorite tunes Honey from her lips like sweet perfume I may be an outlaw, no rope around my neck Shoot my way out, some lipstick and a stacked deck Riding in the dark, kissing in the rain Protect my reputation by changing my name Chorus I'm the devil if you want to loose your freedom I'm the devil If you have nothing to loose I'm the devil If you want it all now I'm the devil Come here and take it A burning cigarette and an ashtray full of tears Through cold bourbon glass She can see her worst fears I sit there burning on the feverish lie You'll find no truth in my distant eye If you can't go all the way, then don't even start Cause when you take my hand You'll slide me your heart I'm the wild horse that can't be tamed Picture Postcard that can't be framed Come and take my hand everybody can Mothers hide your babies Teach your children what the good book says Righteous Never forsaken Or their seed breaking bread | ||

Jesus Came Back |
||
|
Jesus came back and found you at a card table in the back of a pawnshop Jesus came back and found you sleeping by the river on them big old nasty rocks Chorus Jesus came back Jesus came back and found you in love with someone with no name Jesus came back and found you swimming like a blind fish in a mammoth cave Jesus came back and found you on your front porch waiting for the sun to go down Jesus came back and found you all your money buried deep in stony ground | ||
