Lucero - That Much Further West

[lifelyric]

Beer tastes like blood, my mouth is numb. And I can't make the words I need to say. Well, she had a weakness for writers and I, I was never that good at words anyway.

Lucero - Nights Like These

[lifelyric]

I wake up to beat the Sun from glory. I'm only one cigarette away from mobility.

Seven Mary Three - Punch In Punch Out

[lifelyric]

In this place it seems like such a shame. Even though it all looks different now, I know it's still the same. Everywhere I look you're all I see. Just a fading fucking reminder of who I use to be.

Nine Inch Nails - Something I Can Never Have

[lifelyric]

I don't know what more to ask for. I was given just one wish.

[lifelyric]

I tried to go to college but I didn't belong. Everything I said was either funny or wrong. Laughed at my boots, laughed at my jeans. Laughed when they gave me amphetamines. Left me alone in a bad part of town, 36 hours to come back down.

Am I the last of my kind?

Jason Isbell - Last of my Kind

Well I know you'll only be killing me but it's worth it just to see you smile.

So every day I'm smokin' my brain hazy. All I can do to keep from goin' crazy. But the paranoia slowly creepin' in.

Sturgill Simpson - Life of Sin

[lifelyric]

And I apologize a thousand times for holding up the show. I always had the words but they don't quite know where to go. You said give me one good reason, now give me 20 more. Well, don't give yourself away to settle someone else's score.

John Mooreland - 3:59 AM

[lifelyric]

Well I'm the kind of love it hurts to look at. Maybe we should take it as a sign. When I'm strung out on leaving, exalting all my demons. And you don't care for me enough to cry.

John Mooreland - You don't care for me enough to cry

[lifelyric]

And they say why don't you quit drinking? You're always acting like a clown. We all see you ship's been sinking. Just slowly going down. You've been running for so long. You ain't got no time to lose. You better right all your wrongs. Last call for the blues.

Cody Jinks - Last Call for the Blues

[lifelyric]

Broken down so I walk the line. I draw my wounds and I ain't dying. I'm out of money, I'm out of time. I fly low like a broken arrow. Time slows and my vision narrows. I'm out of money, I'm out of time. Sing your hearts out, sing it loud. Make me happy, make me proud.

The Blue Stones - Black Holes (Solid Ground)

Couldn't wait till we graduated to harder dreams.

John Moreland - Harder Dreams

[lifelyric]

Called to the Devil and the Devil said, Quick, can’t be bothered. Better handle your shit. Keep about your wits, man, keep about your wits. Know yourself and who you came with. Can I sit down, I’ve been hustling all day. I can’t even count how many souls I made on the same deal you’re on. Remember, the Devil ain’t a friend to no one. Called to the Devil and the Devil said, Hey, why you been calling this late? It’s like 2 a.m. and the bars all close at 10 in Hell, that's a rule I made. Anyway, you say you’re too busy saving everybody else to save yourself. And you don’t want no help, oh well. That’s a story to tell.

Train left the station and I sat and watched her go. She left me here waiting, said, Babe, I love you, don't you know? But I can't stay here, I'll just waste away. There's something out there that's calling my name. I'll see you again, don't wait for me. Just let me go, the trains about to leave.
