GHOSTOWNE

Throw A Coin In That Wishin Well
Cos’ The Devil Come A Lookin’ And She Lookin’ Like Hell
She’s Drinkin’ Lightening And She Smokin’ Big Ol’ Cigarettes
She Shouted Boy I Like Your Style
Hell Fire’s Burnin’ You Deep As A Country Mile
And The Only Shade Is Hidden In My Silhouette

How Was I To Know…The Devil Wears A Dress

I Ain’t No Preacher But I’m A Man Of My Word
You Try And Take Me Devil And I’ll Rock Your World
I’ll Ride You Hard And Put You Away Soakin’ Wet
She Pointed At Me With Her Crooked Cane
Then Laughed Real Loud Told Me I’d Best Behave
Or I Might Do Something That I’ll Soon Regret

Repeat Chorus

In The Frying Pan A Hell’s Kitchen Delight
Forced To Make A Judgment Between What’s Wrong And Right
And All I Could Say Is Devil Do Your Worst Or Do Your Best
Her Eyes Filled With Fire Her Tail Began To Twitch
She Whispered To Me “I Want Your Soul You Son Of A Bitch”
But I Ain’t No Fool Even If My Life’s A Fuckin’ Mess

Repeast Chorus

I Only Smoke When I Drink
And I Only Drink When I’m Blue
I Only Smoke When I Drink
And I Only Drink Cos’ Of You

There’s A Thick Cloudy Haze Burning In My Mind
I’m Running On Empty One Vice At A Time
Promises Get Broken Life’s Never The Same
And More I Think About It The Less I Understand

Repeat Chorus

Confusion Breaks The Silence As It Tears At My Skin
Grace Under Pressure As The Truth and Lies Mix In
With A Bad Moon Rising As It Bleeds Into The Night
My Heart Beats So Lonely But It’s Keeping Perfect Time

Repeat Chorus

Standing At The Crossroads As A Storm Is Closing In
Struggling With My Demons, Trying To Make Amends
Drinking With Desire, Drowning In My Pain
That’s When She Turned & Whispered, Honey, Let Love Lead The Way
I Said, Honey, My Emotions Run Like Rivers Through My Head
And The Voices That Are Calling Out Underneath My Bed
Echo On The Wings Of Dirty Angels Without Names
And Love’s The Only Reason I’m Sittin’ Here With You Today

So, Quit Pullin’ My Chain, Shakin’ My Tree
You Can’t Show Me The Light If I Don’t Want To See
I Know That I’m My Own Worst Enemy
So Have Mercy, Have Mercy On Me
Have Mercy, Have Mercy On Me

Well Sometime It Ain’t Funny But I Have The Tendency
To Take A Situation All The Way To The Extreme
It Ain’t Killed Me Yet But Tomorrows Another Day
As She Whispered To Me again, Honey, Let Love Lead The Way
I Realize That Life Is Full Of The Thick And The Thin
And I Know There Are People That’ll Love Me To The End
But Right Now I’m Gonna Wallow In My Shame
Cos’ Love’s The Only Reason I’m Feeling This Way

Repeat Chorus

I’m Standing On The Firing Line With A Marching Band In My Head
Something Crackin’ In My Mind So I Call Up All My Friends
Lets Go Surfin’ On The Sea Of Debauchery And Sin
Take A Ride On The Wheels Of Destruction Till The Sun Comes Up Again

And Everything Gonna Be Alright
It’s Another Goodtime Saturday Night
I Got My Friends Having The Time Of Our Lives
Another Goodtime Saturday Night

My Backs Against The Wall In This World Of Broken Dreams
And All The Shit I’ve Been Told Ain’t Always What It Seems
But Got Me A Little Bit Of Money And It Won’t Be Mine For Long
So Let’s Get This Party Started Wont’ Be Comin Back Till The Dawn

Repeat Chorus

Drunk Mosquitoes BMI © 2005

Everyone Tells Me I’m A Nice Guy Who’s Just Down On His Luck
Cos’ Every Time That Love Finds Me I’m Always Getting’ Fucked
You’d Think By Now I’d Have Figured It Out And Learned To Walk The Line
But All Is Fair In Love And War So Pull That Noose Real Tigh

I’ve Been Hung By My Halo
Hung Be My Halo Once Again
I’ve Been Hung By My Halo
Hung By My Halo Once Again

I’m Walking Out The Door Again And It’s Starting To Feel Like Home
My Heart Beats Like A Big Bass Drum And Rattles Through My Bones
I Know It May Sound Tragic But You Know I’ll Be Fine
Cos’ All Is Fair In Love And War As I Pull That Noose Real Tight

Repeat Chorus

I Ain’t Your Whippin’ Boy And I Ain’t No Steppin Stone
Gonna Take My Ass To The Liquor Store And Resurrect My Soul
Cos’ I’ve Taken All You Could Give To Me And I’ve Finally Seen The Light
Now All Is Fair In Love And War As I Pull The Noose Down Tight

Repeat Chorus

I Tried To Jump Back And Dodge Your Bullet It Was Too Late My Name Was On It
I Should Have Know Better Right From The Start
Now I’m Punch Drunk Looking Like A Junkie, Been Knocked Down Like Humpty Dumpty
And I’m Mixed Up And Scrambled On The Floor

But You Can Do What You Want To Do
You Can Have It Your Way
I Don’t Care What You Wanna Do
Cause I Never Loved You Anyway
Cause I Never Loved You Anyway

A Cold Shower And A Good Stiff Drink Keeps Me Cool And Makes Me Think
Just What Kind Of Fool You Took Me For
Now My Earth’s Shakin’ And Trippin’ Breakers To The Sound Of Petty & The Heartbreakers
Singin’ Don’t Come Around Here No More

Repeat Chorus

Now I’m Punch Drunk Looking Like A Junkie, Been Knocked Down Like Humpty Dumpty
And I’m Mixed Up And Scrambled On The Floor
And My Earth’s Shakin’ And Trippin’ Breakers To The Sound Of Petty & The Heartbreakers
Singin’ Don’t Come Around Here No More

Repeat Chorus

Damn These Pills and Damn These Shakes
To Hell With It All And This Fucked Up Place
I Could Fight The Fact That It’s Killing Me
But A Change Of Heart Brings Misery

In Dry County
In Dry County
In Dry County
In Dry County

Damn These Eyes For Being So Blind
To Hell With My Ego And Foolish Pride
Blood Is Thicker Than A Salty Tear
And The Pain Is Heavy And Crystal Clear

Repeat Chorus

Damn These Lies And Damn This Song
To Hell With It All Cause The Thrill Is Gone
I Could Hit The Gas And Drive All Night
But I Know Two Wrong Don’t Make A Right

Repeat Chorus

Drunk Mosquitoes BMI © 2005

Can't Breathe I’m Chokin’ On My Tongue
I’m Flirtin’ With Disaster And Hell Bent To Run
So Give Me One More Before You Close It Down
I Got Me A Sweet Little Thing Who Looks Fantastic
Through My Blood Shot Eyes And Beer Bottle Glasses
And I Can Feel A Bloody Mary Morning Coming Round

Sometimes I Feel, Sometimes I Feel
Like Cigarettes And Gasoline
Coffee And Amphetamines
So Smoke Em If You Got ‘Em
Cos I Finally Hit Rock Bottom

The Next Morning I Fell Out Of Bed
With A 12-Pack Still Lodged In My Head
And Distant Memories Of Who Or What I Did
As Stumble Forward With Reckless Abandon
I Can Hardly Believe I’m Alive And Standing
As Another Bloody Mary Morning’s Creepin’ In

Repeat Chorus

Well The Sight Of Her Makes Me Shake And Shiver
She’s What You’d Call A Natural Disaster
I Need A Cold Shower To Wash The Ugly Off Of Me
As I Try To Focus Through Hangover Glasses
My Head Feels As Thick As Molasses
On This Bloody Mary Morning Tragedy

Repeat Chorus

We Were Playing Show On The West Coast When I Guy walked up to me
He Said Hey Your Band Is Rockin’ Man and you really set me free
I Said Thank You Sir can I buy you a drink for being so damn kind
And Introduce You To a few friends of mine

And let it roll let’s get high
With three good friends of mine
Better known by most
As the father, son & holy ghost
So lets get high, make a toast to save our souls

We All Sat Down At The End Of The Bar buzzin’ like a honey bee
And In The Background The Jukebox was playing “Have A Drink On Me”
After An Hour Or Two He Hollar’d I have seen the light
And You And All Your Friends well hell your alright

Repeat Chorus

I Said Hey Man You Gotta Watch My Friends or they’ll turn on you real fast
He Lifted His Head and he said to me, your friends can kiss my ass
As he Slumped Down In His Bar Stool like a beggar out in the cold
I Knew Right Then My Good Friends had stolen his soul

Repeat Chorus

Her Cheatin’ Heart Made Me Jump ‘N Run Got An Itchy Finger On A Loaded Gun
As She Stared Down That ’45 With Her Loving Eyes
She Said "The Only Men Worth A Shit Turn Into Losers, Lawyers Or Pricks"
I Asked Her Why She Fooled Around Then I Shot Her Down

Thinkin’ Bout What The Hell I Did, Now I Know That I’m A Wanted Man
As I Drive Down To The Local Saloon, Under A Bloody Moon
I Know Her Lover Come To Put Me Away, Dead Or Alive It’s Judgment Day
I’ll Sit And Wait And Bide My Time Then I’m

Gonna Order Another Round
Before I Lay The Hammer Down And Drive
Gonna Order Another Round
And Get The Fuck Out Of This Town Tonight

When That Punk Came Around The Bend With A Sawed Off Shotgun In His Hand
He Screamed At Me “Your Time Is Due” And The Bullets Flew
I Took A Shot In My Right Leg And Another Shot Grazed My Head
But When The Smoke Cleared He Lay Dead, I Stood Over Him And Said

Repeat Chorus

Drunk Mosquitoes BMI © 2005

Now I Know How It Feels To Be Broken
And Now I Know How It Feels To Be Blue
But The Ways And Means That Brought Me To My Falling
Have Passed Me By Now I Know Not What To Do
When I Look At You, And You Look Right Through, Right Through Me

I'm Down, On My Knees And My Blood’s In Your Hands And My Heart Is At Your Feet
I'm Down And My Bloods In Your Hand’s And My Heart Is At Your Feet

I Can Tell By The Way You Say You Love Me
That Feeling Change & There's Nothing That I Can Do
But The People On The Street You Know That They're Talking
And They're Saying That We Once Had A Love So True
When I Look At You, And You Look Right Through, Right Through Me

Repeat Chorus

What Would You Give To Be Apart From Me
And How Would It Feel To Live Inside Of Me
Cos I Could Remain A Child For Eternity
I'm Better By You And Your Better By Me
Oh Cant You See, When You Look At Me, Oh Cant You See

Repeat Chorus

I’ve Spent My Life On This Lonely Road
My Only Companion’s This Guitar I Hold
Broken Hearts, Three For A Dime
Now It’s Another Show Another One Night Stand
Playing In This Rockin Band
Livin And Lovin On The Fly

A Music Life Ain’t What It Seems
Sometimes I Wonder What It Means
When I Wake Up Surprised To Be Alive
Other Times It Takes Me Down
A Path In Life That’s So Profound
That I Can’t Explain The Joy I Find
One Step Ahead Two Steps Behind

One Step Ahead Two Steps Behind
One Shot Away From Crossin’ The Line
Too Broke To Live To Young Too Die
One Step Ahead And Two Steps Behind
One Step Ahead And Two Steps Behind

Sometimes I Struggle With The Life I Choose
Playin’ Songs And Singin The Blues
Knowin’ I’ll Never Make A Dime
Then I Pick Up My Out Of Tune Guitar
Play A Song And Laugh Real Hard
It Takes Me Away, Damn I Feels So Fine
One Step Ahead And Two Steps Behind

Repeat Chorus

The Bad Moon’s Creepin’ Up And It’s Hangin’ O’er My Head
Another Wasted Sunset And The Angels Have Gone To Bed
But I’m Not Worry Bout Nothin’ Gonna Sit Back And Wait
Ain’t Nothin In This World That Can’t Be Made To Look Good Or Feel Great

With Duct Tape And Tequila
Shinny Silver And Gold

Now The Doctors Gone & Diagnosed Me And I Don’t Know What’s In Store
The Devils Come Round The Bend And’s Knockin’ At My Back Door
Grab Myself A Shot Glass And A Brand New Bottle Of Jose
Tell That Devil He’s A Son Of A Bitch And Invite Him In To Play

With Duct Tape And Tequila
Shinny Silver And Gold
Duct Tape And Tequila
Can Fix Anything In The World That I Know
