Keepin' On 03:42
Your're alone Never find just what you need Stabbed a stone So that we could see it bleed And it's all night long You won't turn Look ahead and cross the street Never learn That's it's all beneath your feet All it's all night long
2.
I was born on the rough side of the street Where the strong don’t keep good company Won’t be long before they come for me When I’m gone they can have it all for free Walk alone No going home I was raised in the fire and the rain Where the girls will treat you just the same Blood to blood to help you feel their pain If I could I’d do it all again Walk alone No going home When you’re young, that’s where it all is paid Roll the bones to see who’s still afraid Take it all and carry it away Don’t see long when you live in yesterday

Get It 04:12
Hold on Grab that hollow feeling Make your peace and don’t be loud Go long Watch out for the reckless Lose yourself in the crowd Do you hear what we’re saying? Move on You’re stubborn as you’re stumbling I’ll sure tell you that for free No song Can reach into your pocket I’d rather it was you than me Step back Slide into the moonlight Clap your hands and close your eyes Get down Think work ain’t gonna save it Ain’t no way to win the prize Do you hear what we’re saying? Too stong Ain’t no time to ask me What is what and where it’s at Stand tall From day to day the pleasant Nothing going wrong with that Listen Try to pay attention Maybe I got nothing to say Sit still Try not to be so restless Come again another day Do you hear what we’re saying?

Long Bridge 05:14
Once more once I told baby Then I threw a penny to Poe Before we went a rollin' With that ragged man behind the stones Took him for a ride down the west side Then headed for the concrete pier Two more years until the tower fell Don’t you know there weren’t nothing to fear You can’t lose the key to highway Walking just west of the sun Who’s going to profit with a hole in his pocket? Flying while the herrings run Oh, it’s a damned long bridge These two dollar shoes is killin' my feet Don’t care where in the world I go Lost half my pay before the end of May But a man’s still gonna roam Looking for the bluest sky baby The darkest clouds don’t bring you down Can’t decide which way to the sea Gotta leave that sundown town Stepping to a season of fever Ears too thin for the sound And if the wind is stale way up in Belair Ain’t never gonna get it done Colder than a well digger’s wallet The grass grow through your mouth Better pick a side, along for the ride Caught between the north and south Oh, it’s a damned long bridge

Dead Drops 04:00
Right is right and sometimes the fight Never ends this way, never ends this way Searching for something, that’s what’s going down Come what may, come what may Hey backstabber You don’t even matter Hey backstabber You’re low on the ladder One of these nights around 11 o' clock This old world’s going to rock, this old world’s going to rock The very moment I thought I was lost Then the chains fell off, then the chains fell off Hey backstabber You think you’re badder Hey backstabber Your brain is scattered Hey backstabber You don't even matter Hey backstabber You’re low on the ladder

Talk Me Down 05:21
Slip into my bluejean Step into the old scene St. Paul is callin' He ain't heard it fallen He don't got two dime 'Cause who spend the time? He work dollar to dollar Then it's back to the holler You gotta talk me down The rain it don't gather Not like it matter 'Cept the way that you see it And not wanna be it We swear to the secret And forget all the regret We feel a little bit ancient And a lotta complacent You gotta talk me down
7.
Ain't no way I'm gettin' kicked around Won't get caught with my trousers down I don't know how a woman feels All I know is up my sleeve It's just a step away What more can I do? Gonna hide away Up my sleeve i don't know why you're trying You don't know what I'm hiding Up my sleeve
