Safe Kids 04:49
We're no wasteland generation stars We're just aiming for this summer's consequences Bring your favorite girl or your closest bet We're all be sitting in the backroom With all our random expectations Girls are dancing it's the weekend We got boys from bands, your enemies and friends Conveniently prepared Might be safe to say That these good times are a part of what we Want to be You better lie your way through your golden days Cuz safe kids Would never survive this party Safe kids are boring me out At all opportunities Go away all you safe kids Before my veins run out of reasons to be filled Hope all you safe kids disappear. You might have taken everything we are But you've gone and forgotten the best part I still know your name Are you Kim or are you Kelly? No I'm not waiting for your answer I’m just a boy giving you his best shot I'd take you out to dance Even though I don't dance. Might be safe to say That these good times are a part of what we Want to be You better lie your way through your golden days Cuz safe kids Would never survive this party Safe kids are boring me out At all opportunities Go away all you safe kids Before my veins run out of reasons to be filled Hope all you safe kids disappear. Cuz safe kids Would never survive our parties Safe kids are boring us Go away all you safe kids Before our vein's run out of reasons to be filled But only safe kids live enough to see us die. To watch you die

Draw 02:57
Baby, I miss those lips Now I'm trapped under these sheets While my best few lines get sent Towards my enemy Don't worry about insanity You know my mind is fooling me again You're begging me to stay you know I can't And if you want to, go around and tell the story on me I'm traveling to the east Yeah I'm taking over mountains While you're face down on some cheap motel bed Shit's not looking good my dear young girl Don't you forget He's not taking "no" for an answer he's a greedy man "Won't you please my mind sweet doll I'm no shield in your fake blue sky Girl I'm a loaded gun If I see his face again I'll pull my trigger!" Now I'm writing the book on distance While he's only planning on vengeance Both our hearts are rapidly aging in your hands And even though we both remember your fame Me and Cocaine Bob Are putting on our game face Ready? - Bending like trees steady now. - - Counting my sins won't take me down. - - Don't blink, I'm quicker than a train. - - You best not take me for a boy. - - Respect me I'm the man who's gonna finish you! - "Ready, set, draw!" (2x) Girl you look so pretty really yes you do With your flowered dress and your cowboy boots You know, don't be sad Go get your dancing shoes Cuz' I'm a dancing man (3x) And this violence is my game.

Dirty Money 03:32
Take me back south where I grew up I want my cowboy boots again And where the quickest drawer would still be far from me this dirty money in your hands oh I've done everything I can Oh, leave me be Where I met this Girl little Julie And she took me out dancing Where our love grew strong Right around her neck She wore my name in gold This dirty money in my hands was gone Dirty money in filthy hands Don't make you strong So I rise again Like the shinning sun And I've been down the evilest path I'll tell you now I open my tired eyes I see you way behind Holding back hoping that everything comeback again Someday for sure So kiss me way before it's too late My heart is aging and my eyes grow tired I'll only wish you wrong Cuz now I'm no cowboy I ain't number one I don't need you here sweet baby doll. See I'm on my own Cuz now I'm no cowboy I ain't number one I don't need you here sweet baby doll So say you're sorry to the barrel of my gun (4x)

Left Hand 03:37
You don't have to say goodbye I already know Talk about apologies But apologies are gold, for you For me they're only silver You don't have to fake a smile Oh love please don't Honey all these tragedies are only fire from The sparks we set off in the night Seems ok to me... If you could find it in your heart and mouth A place for me you'd see that I Am only drunk and numb Cuz sinking ships can't drown my sorrow and my pain If you could find it in your house and heart A place for me you'd see that i Am only getting worse Cuz bending knees can't save me from the path i'm in You don't have to say goodbye I already know Talk about apologies But apologies are gold, for you For me they're only silver Oh mary, mary save me Save me from his deadly eyes Cuz i can't hold on for long Not alone Oh mary, mary pull me Pull me from my sins Pull from the evilness that's in me Cuz i'm truly in hell when i breathe!

Gold Digger 03:04
You lost your shine you cold hearted woman Feeling too good to lay down with the local boys? They try but only to get turned down Let's turn the hat into a crown That ugly frown into a smile Blood spilled high heels clicking down the devil's road A Life that reeks of cheap perfume, cigarette and sweaty poles Gold digger, heart breaker Put your lips together girl if all you got is shit to say Gold Digger, heart breaker All the boys from south run their mouth when you walk away You lost your mind Miss Kimberly Walker Smoking for two and luring all the local toys That's fine Just grind your teeth inside your mouth So far away from your home town Must got you feeling like a clown Blood spills high heels clicking down the devil's road A Life that reeks of cheap perfume, cigarette and sweaty poles Gold digger, heart breaker Put your lips together girl if all you got is shit to say Gold Digger, heartbreaker
