My Morning Jacket Album

2o times
i wish you'd understand,
that you're breakin the
heart of this heartbreakin man.
20 times
i wish you'd use the door,
cause you're makin this heart
want some more.
oooooo

somebody stole my lighter.
and where it go'd is higher.
i was another boy,
down in another town.
armed with casino bars,
tight whores and tinseltown.
but i stayed.
oooo.
oh but i stayed.
she had a cigarette
and asked if i had a light.
out it came,
and i gave it to her,
and off into the night.....
his arms were thin,
and off into the night,
they ran.
oooo they ran.
oooo they ran.

its a bad idea,
to go down to the pier
by your self after dark.
it's a bad idea,
cause they're down on their luck
and they've lost touch
with their bleeding hearts.
bad idea,
cause i've felt that way
and i know i shouldn't have gone.
the time is near,
to come forward
with whatever killed your spark.
There's still time,
for you,
to change your mind
or whatever else you do.
there's still time.
whosaa!!!

from nashville to kentucky,
my heart it draws the line,
somewhere someone thinks of me,
i just wish it was somewhere i could find.
TAKE ME OUT of this dead-end nightmare.
TAKE ME OUT of this hell im in.
TAKE ME OUT of this dead end nightmare,
and put me back in a world i can live.

all alone at the end of the day.
really tired it's time to hit the hay.
it was always good to hear you say:
"you never were a drawback,
you always were an asset,
you never were a drawback,
no you weren't."
put away your corset,
put away your shoe,
put away the old september blues.

surely your lips deceive me.
surely i know you're fine.
and if we get too close this evening,
well apart we'll grow in time...
and i know (that you're mine).
oooo.
sherie your heart,
i'll take you there,
it ain't far.
and if all else fails,
i'll come running back,
wonderin where you went with my heart.
sherie your arms deceive me,
sherie i know you're fine...
and i know (that you're mine)
sherie your heart,
i'll take you there,
it ain't far.
and if all else fails,
i'll come running back,
wonderin where you went
with my heart.

it's about twilight now,
out in the stream,
you're lookin low now,
in yo tight blu jean. i
'm feelin ready,
i'm feelin lean,
four years of bright lights,
can make it seem like no one can
baby (yeah yeah) it's
about twilight now,
i'm in the field.
you're lookin low now,
im runnin still,
you're a readin book now,
it's gettin!!!!
oh,
four years of bright lights,
can make it seem,
like no one can b.b. (yeah yeah)

ev-O-lyn i hope this cant be true.
ev-Olyn,
you know my
hearts with you.
dont try to tell me there's another boy,
don't try to use me
like a lovers toy.
ev-Olyn you know this cant be true.
from what i found the
ground remains with you.
don't try to tell me theres another boy,
don't try
and use me like a lovers toy.
"aw take it away johnny!!!"

stolen as the war begun, this time your soul is my one.
i belong to a race of robots, drownin out my one.
anytime your war gets out of hand i'll take it on.
stolen as the wars begun, this time your soul is my one.
I'd move on, but i know you'll need me some day.
I'd roll on, but i know you'll need me some day.

i've got the ocean blue.
i've got a picture of you
with green green eyes
and a cocaine smile
and a little worry anymore.
i've got a house in a court,
i've got a car and a door
and a big left arm.
and a little worry any more,
cause i tried,
i did.
sorry,
you know im sorry
you know i'd give you anything on a dime.
sorry again.
cut your little head.
but sorry don't mean nothin,
if sorry's still in bed.
you dont say
"i'll wait up"

joe was born in new york city,
son of paul and catherine.
always down and always out,
but his morrows always seemed jus' fine.
there will be bigotry and there will be open minds.
there will be days of peace you'll never have the time.
AS LONG AS YOU KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE,
i will be there when you die.
i was born in east kentucky,
home of where the grass is dyed.
always down and always out,
but my 'morrows always seemed just fine.
there will be bigotry and
there will be open minds.
there will be days of peace you'll never have the time.
as long as you keep a straight face,
i will be there when you die.

trapped in gasoline,
a lizard on a string,
no one ever screams any more.
its called THE DARK.
its not a sunny day for the dark.
let in the dark,
then you you can sleep and fuck and park.
let in the dark,
it's not another day for the dark.
let in the dark,
then you can sleep and move and park.
so tight,
i can't breathe,
gods fingers chokin me,
like a prisoner on his knees,
beggin won't do a thing for me
so c'mon (you can't fight it) people,
oh they're my thing these days,
they like to swim,
and catch them rays.
MONEY,
dont do a thing for me,
im happy now,
thats how i be.
it's called the dark.

you said,
evan,
is comin over again.
and i said,
if he does,
i'll kick his head IN.
i've known you for years,
i know all your moves,
i just cant believe
that it caved in this soon.
and i'm playin it over and over again
in my head.
you said evan is comin over again.
i asked where you go'd,
and you said where you went:
he took you to movies and carnival tents.
bought you big houses and payed all the rent.
and i'm playin it over and over again
in my head.
oh but Los Angeles ain't that far,
and the rest of the girls said they'd be there,
by my car.

butch cassidy i could've been your friend,
and rode with you and the sundance kid.
we'd laugh awhile and we'd smile a bit,
cause crimes like our arent counterfit.
they say you never even killed a man,
till it came right down to your final stand.
bullets flyin and the wounded cryin
and your buddy he's goin down.
get lower and the feelins show
and you gave off the final sound.
cause a soldiers death
is so much better than
defeat just hangin around.
defeat just hangin around.

down in the city,
the flames gathered round.
churches and buildings
in ashes on the ground.
they think they're goin to hell.
out in the hollow,
it drown out the crowd,
and i think my other would kill me.
if she knew what i was about.
i think im going to hell...
devils and demons are comin.
lovers and children beware.
devils and demons are comin...
to take me to hell.
to take me to hell.
to take me to hell.
