spring girls 04:24
lyrics
spring girls down the street, tall and lazy not to make you go crazy just enough to make you stop and think spring girls i'm all out of order i don't feel bad, but sorta heavy in my feet, i need a drink i know, i'm not thinking clearly but i've cried my eyes dry to find a girl that's half as sweet though i know i won't survive it, still i find the means to wink and tip my hat as they walk on down the street spring girls they'll poison your manners they'll sully your standards they'll question your own damn righteousness all i wanna do is take home the ones i met in waco i need more than a taste of all this mess i know, i'm not thinking clearly but i've cried my eyes dry to find a girl that's half as sweet though i know i won't survive it, still i find the means to wink and tip my hat as they walk on down the street real life it's not so cut-and-dried yet never felt quite invited never had breath to blow the seeds away spring girls draw you in like a spider then suck out what's inside ya but i'd take it with gladness any day i know, i'm not thinking clearly but i've cried my eyes dry to find a girl that's half as sweet though i know i won't survive it, still i find the means to wink and tip my hat as they walk on down the street

worst of friends 03:18
lyrics
hold her hands over something other than the corners of your mouth she'll ask one simple question and it just might tear your inside out treat her well, don't let her suspect it, and she won't, i promise that she'll believe what you tell her, she says that she loves you and that is that the birds will sing and the grass will bend under the two of them, i can tell i've fallen in with the worst of friends, at least i've found an end to myself gently now, show her softly that she's not a part of your rise to fame tell her "babe, give me all of you but don't get ready to change your name" she can wait, oh, she's got endurance, and believe me, she won't forget all the things that you promised, but won't for one minute appear upset the birds will sing and the grass will bend under the two of them, i can tell i've fallen in with the worst of friends, at least i've found an end to myself

tollways show their love 03:22
lyrics
i'll take the next cab into chicago my father's mother waiting there for me the roads lay on the map the way the wind blows the tollways show their love on the marquee i know that she'll run out with arms to greet me her cane will lay forgotten by the door and she won't need a butler there to seat me she won't need to send him to the store she was torn up when she lost her husband and he was torn up when he lost her too she hangs his wedding band over the oven for something she can put her finger through she pricks her finger hemming all his garments she clutches to his shoehorn like a hand it may seem rather strange, but it's quite harmless for someone so old without a man i'll lend her my arm and we'll go walking she'll never have felt so young before then up to all the bars we'll come a'knocking until the girls won't serve us anymore and we'll go stumbling out into the streets, then both lost for words, my grandmother and i my family has no sorrow to defeat them my father's mother's never gonna die

i was wrong 03:25
lyrics
well i burst in through the gate i thought i'd bust all sorts of shins i was sure to god i'd win with no regards for competition i thought they'd all want what i had thought they'd be much more than glad but i was wrong, i was wrong, at least part way oh i was wrong, i was wrong, at least part way i came through arkansas was not a statue that i saw through a bottleneck, the law and all the rivers running through it it was sobering, i said and then i went right back to bed oh, i was wrong, i was wrong, at least part way oh i was wrong, i was wrong, at least part way i took to life inside considered myself satisfied to know myself as wise and they'd all find me and they'd love me the golden calf, the chosen one the genuine son-of-a-gun but i was wrong, i was wrong, at least part way oh i was wrong, i was wrong, at least part way i mixed another drink spit my teeth into the sink and i said i'm on the brink of something strange and cataclysmic i'll move slow and tell myself that it's not me, it's someone else goes on inside, i was wrong, at least partway oh i was wrong, i was wrong, at least part way oh i was wrong, i was wrong, at least part way

alabama come along with me 04:19
lyrics
don't be someone that i'd love too much take off holidays but keep in touch keep your left foot always on the clutch alabama come along with me don't go crying always in excess just enough to seem that i cry less go on, glisten, but don't make a mess alabama come along with me don't fall in to things you'll always do keep on changing so you're always something new don't be someone i could get used to alabama come along with me live my summers always in conquest drink no water and i get no rest keep my shadow always facing west alabama come along with me don't start calling me by name out loud keep us blended back into the crowd don't get cute, don't try to make me proud alabama come along with me don't fall in to things you'll always do keep on changing so you're always something new don't be someone i could get used to alabama come along with me keep me company when i'm snowed in drink hot chocolate from an empty tin it's no use, it's just the state i'm in alabama come along with me please come visit for the long weekend i get the aching for you now and then i'll stop lying and i won't pretend alabama come along with me don't fall in to things you'll always do keep on changing so you're always something new something i can carve my name into alabama come along with me
