Ain’t No Romance Ain’t no romance when she’s around Ain’t no lovin’ cuz she got ya down Don’t you know? (x2) Ain’t no understanding when you come home Ain’t no romance when she’s around When I’m in command of my heart I’ll fly away from you If only I could stay away In your eyes I’m wasting away Ain’t no passion when she sings Ain’t no soul when she calls your name Don’t you know? (x2) Ain’t no way to keep my heart from breaking Ain’t no romance when she’s around When I’m in command of my heart I’ll fly away from you If only I could stay away In your eyes I’m wasting away Ain’t no romance when she walks away Ain’t no romance when she stays Don’t you know? (x2) Ain’t no romance when she’s around (x2) When I’m in command of my heart I’ll fly away from you If only I could stay away In your eyes I’m wasting away

Cocaine & Sympathy It was Easter Sunday And I was finally on my way To resurrecting what we lost Taking you down off your cross But the bullet you shot into my chest Missed my heart but still took my breath So now I’m going away for awhile To figure it out, put myself on trial I don’t need your lovin I don’t need your whiskey feelings I just need your Cocaine and Sympathy I’ve worn my heels to the bone I’ve walked across coals, I’ve walked across stone Just to find myself back in the past Welcome back no questions asked She wore the sun, the moon upon her arms In her eyes you can see the scars There’s only one thing that I need And it’s not what she thinks I don’t need your lovin’ I just need your whiskey feelings I just need your Cocaine and Sympathy

Moonlight Devotee She’s got the moon at her fingertips Love from a man she did not wish I met her where I lay my head to rest The gray skies surround her eyes The crown and harp our tongues tied Whiskey and water is the love of her life She worships the moon And the stars in the sky She’s the moonlight devotee That saved my life I watch every step she takes She puts a fire to my veins I’ve loved her from the day we met She’s stronger than she knows She’s got a story she hasn’t told One day she’ll say “I love you so” She worships the moon And the stars in the sky She’s the moonlight devotee That saved my life

Little Red Label Well that little red label gonna save my soul Well that little red label gonna save my soul Down to Austin is where we’ll go Cuz that little red label is gonna save my soul Going down that stretch of 35 A pretty woman on my mind After all this time Just trying to survive If you want to make God laugh Just tell him your plans This place is empty Without you Well that little red label is gonna save my soul Well that little red label is gonna save my soul Down to Austin is where we’ll go Cuz that little red label is gonna save my soul Where heaven meets hell It is a secret That mortal men do not tell I’ll show you the way You’ll follow me I pray I’ll take up drinking Because that’s my way Well that little red label is gonna save my soul Well that little red label is gonna save my soul Down to Austin is where we’ll go That little red label is gonna save my soul

Better Lover Than A Friend You were a better lover then a friend Got me with a broken heart again Breaking all the hearts Breaking all the rules Baby you played me like a fool I’m not gonna walk away I won’t play your game I’m caught out in the cold With nowhere to go We just build up bridges Just to burn them down Don’t be surprised, Baby love is a wicked disguise You were a better lover then a friend Got me with a broken heart again Breaking all the hearts Breaking all the rules Baby you played me like a fool When we met, things were great Now you’re walking away We got along in the start Then it went to hell You broke my heart Was it even love? Don’t be surprised, Baby love is a wicked disguise You were a better lover then a friend Got me with a broken heart again Breaking all the hearts Breaking all the rules Baby you played me like a fool

Goodbye At Night Verse 1 She only listens to her favorite bands They are the ones I cannot stand She reminds me of an old familiar flame Then I am reminded there’s no life without love Verse 2 She gets her heart broken all the time I’ve never seen her smile unless she’s high I wrote her a blank check for my soul Then I am reminded there’s no life without love Verse 3 I could love her more than any other She’s got a pain behind her eyes It’s one she says I’d recognize “I just want someone to love me before I die” Chorus 1 Your love is sweeter than wine I think about you all the time You are once in a lifetime And I’ll never hurt you with goodbye at night Chorus 2 Your love is sweeter than wine You put the stars in the sky You are once in a lifetime And I’ll never hurt you with goodbye at night

Whiskey Based Activities Sitting round the circle with the stars above the clouds Listening to the cars go by, the city seems so loud As we open up the bottle and begin to fill our glass We pledge to spend our evening like it’s always gonna last Won’t you come and join me? For some whiskey based activities? Take your pain and drink it all away Come and enjoy the night with me Talking and conversing with the girl of my dreams She’s giving me a look but it’s not what it seems As I ask her how she feels with the grayness in her eyes She replied to my question but I could only hear a lie Wont you come and join me? For some whiskey based activities? Take your pain and drink it all away Come and enjoy the night with me She took me by the hand and led me to a land It was then I knew my fate like music on a stand She stumbled away, leaving me in the blue I never saw her face again, my life felt untrue He was doing fine until that one whiskey night He drank himself to death, to no one’s delight She was just a girl who he couldn’t let go Now he’s in heaven and she doesn’t even know Wont you come and join me? For some whiskey based activities? Take your pain and drink it all away Come and enjoy the night with me

Put Another Line Down I’m tired of going to bed all alone Never knowing when you’re coming home There was nothing I could do to stop the tears I just want you to know that I love you And that should be enough But if it’s not We’re out of luck If it’s not Baby we’re out of luck Put another line down for the road I gotta get the gray out of my soul If there’s one thing I know from all the I’ve learned It’s that love is never enough My passion for you was doomed from the start I couldn’t keep you from falling apart I wanted till death to us part You’ll always have a place in my heart And that should be enough But if its not We’re out of luck If it’s not Baby we’re out of luck Put another line down for the road I gotta get the gray out of my soul If there’s one thing I know from all that I’ve learned It’s that love is never enough You were my favorite sin You brought out the worst in me Even The Devil can sympathize That I may never see you again And that’s not good enough No it’s not It’s not enough No it’s not Baby I’m out of luck Put another line down for the road I gotta get the gray out of my soul Ig there’s one thing I know from all that I’ve learned It’s that love is never enough Put another line down for the road I gotta get the gray out of my soul If there’s one thing I know from all that I’ve learned It’s that love is only a word

What The Devil Knows Firs you cherish the memories, Then you’re filled with regret Then the memories just fade away The further down the bottle you get (you get) You’re the only one I ever wanted My life just never seen complete (complete) Until I met you that fateful day You made all my troubles go away (away) Where did you go? When the moon was full? The wine and the drugs Kept you in my soul So where’d you go? Where’d you go? Where did you go? Only the devil knows First you’ll cry all night long Then you’ll lose your sanity Then you’ll lose your life Chasing down your dreams (your dreams) I wanted to find you In my arms again (again) But we all know that’s not how it goes I’ll hide in the dark because you stole the light (the light) Where did you go? When the moon was full? The wine and the drugs Kept you in my soul So where’d you go? Where’d you go? Where did you go? Only the devil knows

Hurricane Gray She’s a hurricane No two shades of gray are the same She’s a hurricane A fire, that won’t be tamed She lives each day like its her last She wanted to leave the world for awhile She looks gray even in my dreams Every day I wake to a new tragedy She’s a hurricane No two shades of gray are the same She’s a hurricane And I’m caught up in her wake You’re so far away Even in my bed There’s so many thoughts Running through my head You made me hallucinate The love in my heart for you tore us apart His mother warned him bout a girl like her Said son “the devil was an angel too” She’s allergic to all the beauty in the world Because she couldn’t love herself She’s a hurricane No two shades of gray are the same She’s a hurricane Her heart wasn’t mine to claim She’s a hurricane No two shades of gray are the same She’s a hurricane Hurricane Gray
