GHOSTOWNE

Wrote this songs in about 20minutes following a rehearsal. The rest of the boys in the band taunting me about my white trash lifestyle.

Dammit I Work My 40 A Week
But I Can’t Seem To Make Ends Meet
And All I Want Is A Simple Life
My Dog, My Truck, My Kids and My Wife

But If I Had A Doublewide, Everything’d Be All Right
I’d Finally Be Satisfied, If I Had A Doublewide

When I Come Home On Friday Night
I Sit On The Porch Stare At The Sky
Drinkin’ Whiskey And Smokin’ Lights
And Thinkin’ Bout A Better Life

Repeat Chorus

wrote this song about a night a spent in jail.

I Live My Life Furious And Fast
A Finger In The Air A Foot On The Gas
Makin’ My Way On A Wing And A Prayer
Woke This Morning In The County Jail, Singin…

Tylenol, Cigarettes & Black Coffee
Give Me Tylenol, Cigarettes & Black Coffee

The Stars Hung High And Moon Sank Low
Down On The Streets Where The Neon Glows
If Never Knew Now, What I Never Knew Then
I Wouldn’t Have Ended Up Here Again, Singin’…

Repeat Chorus

a song about young lovers brought together by an El Camino...

She Was The Dove And I Was The Hawk With One Fell Swoop I Carried Her Off – Hey!
She Was My Queen, I Was Her Clown Our Heads We’re Always Spinnin’ Around – Yeah!

I Had The Thirst She Was The Booze I’d Get Drunk Just Watchin’ Her Move – Hey!
When We Made Love She’d Lose Control, She’d Get The Look Of The Devil Below – Yeah!

From Hells Bells To Noise Pollution We Were Ridin’ High On Revolution
Cruisin’ Down Red Dirt Roads With A Silver Tongue And A Heart Of Gold
In A Two Tone, Rust And Bones, El Camino

The Inspiration Behind The Songs, Made Me Believe I Could Do No Wrong – Hey!
Tasted Sweet As Cinnamon Stood Beside Me Till The End – Yeah!

Repeat Chorus

jesse james came up with the music while i was in the bathroom. I came back into the room singing the melody, went home and wrote the lyrics that night.

Don’t Look For Answers In The Wishing Pool
Your Reflections Staring Back At You
Don’t Think About What You’ve Been Missng
Don’t Worry Bout Who Might Be Listenin’

Cos We All
Yeah We All
Ya Know We All
We All Fall Down

The Ace Of Spades And The Queen Of Hearts
Lady Luck Can Only Take You So Far
Don’t Be Fooled By What They Said
And In The End You’ll Have No Regrets

Repeat Chorus

Just a little song about the whole experience of performing live.

Burnin’ The Candle At Both Ends
Preachin’ Our Gospel Sellin’ Our Sins
Thunder and Lightening, Fire And Rain
Cut Through The Air Like A Rumblin’ Train

As The Wind Takes Flight Like A Murder
A Murder Of Crows

We Hit The Ground And We’re Runnin’ Fast
Kickin’ Up Dust And Layin’ Down Tracks
Rollin’ The Dice And Ringin’ The Bell
God Only Knows What Time Will Tell

Repeat Chorus

Damn The Weatherman For Bringin’ The Heat
To Hell With The Steam Risin’ Off The Street
Only Four Choices Left To Sell
Death, Tequila, Rock ‘n Roll Or Jail

Repeat Chorus

The Condition Lasts Forever When You Fall Into That Groove
Listenin’ To The Radio As It’s Settin’ Up The Mood
Nothing Seems To Matter When There's Nothing Left To Lose
Hoping I Can Find Meaning In This Bottle Of Cheap Booze

With A Broken Heart & A Clouded Head
A One Way Ticket, I Pack Up My Baggage
And Climb Aboard For A Destination Unknown

Candle Wax On The Carpet, Moon Paints Up The Sky
Reflecting Off A Buddha Statue That’s Been Given Me The Eye
It Makes Me Think Of Loving You And All That Wasted Time
I Promise Myself Next Time I Won't Be So Fucking Blind

Repeat Chorus

wrote this song after seeing some very good friends that I had not seen in a while.

I'm Sitting Here With The Man In The Moon
Hoping That He Will Tell Me What I Should Do
But Every Question I Ask The Answers Lead Back To You
And The Words Are Falling From The Tip Of My Tongue
Like And Icicle Melting In The Hot August Sun
I’m Thinking Of My Friends And All The Shit That We’ve Done
And As I Laugh Out Loud

I'm Casting Shadows On The Wall
Silhouettes Of Memories Down The Hall
I'm Casting Shadows On The Wall
Silhouettes Of Memories Down The Hall

It’s Like Throwing A Stone Into A Peaceful Lake
And Watching The Ripples As They Crash On The Beach
Each One Holds A Memory You Can’t Take Away
And In The Deafening Silence Of The Setting Sun
You’re Reminiscing Of Those Days Long Gone
Remembering The Times And The Laughter That We Once Shared
I Wish I Was There

Repeat Chorus

Were All Victims To The Hands Of Time
Each New Day Brings Another New Rhyme
And One Day You Wake Up To Find That You’ve Lost Touch
So My Mind Goes Into A Colorful Haze
And Out Come The Memories Of The Good Old Days
With A Smile And A Laugh I Silently Shed A Tear
For My Friends So Dear

Repeat Chorus

a simple yet kinda creepy view of falling in love.

Every Night And Every Day
Ever Time You Pass My Way
Baby You Know You Stole My Heart
Late At Night When I Go To Sleep
I Dream About You And Me
And I Know That we’ll Never Be Apart

Your Like Poison In My Veins But I Need You Just The Same
Feeling Kinda Strange, Got The Love Sick Blues

You Know I Miss You Since I’ve Been Away
I Think About You Every Day
You Got Me Singin’ This Bittersweet Tune
Somebody Call The Cops & Throw Me In Jail
Sentence Me Without Bail
To Keep Me Away From Lovin You

Repeat Chorus

a song I wrote about my home town and the highway that takes you away from it.

30 Below On A Minnesota Night
The Snow Glistens With A Ghostly Glow
Illuminated By The Northern Lights
It Sparks A Fire Inside My Soul

My Roots Run Strong And Dig In Deep
Make It Hard To Touch The Sky
Dust Off These Faded Dreams
It’s Time To Spread My Wings And Fly

I’m Heading Down The Highway, Nothin’ Left To Lose
Heading Down The Highway, While B.B. Sings The Blues
Heading Down The Highway, Nothing Left For Me
Heading Down Highway 53, Trying To Break Free

I’ll Meet Ya At The Bottom Of A Bottle Of Vodka
In The Heart Of A City Way Out West
Far Away From The Small Town Troubles
Got My Guitar And A Tank Of Gas

Repeat Chorus

wrote this after a friend was diagnosed with a life altering disease.
I guess it's my way of looking at the shit life throws at you in a funny way.

When The Bad Moon Comes Creepin’ Up And’s Hangin’ O’er Your Head
Another Wasted Sunset And The Angels Have Gone To Bed
Don’t You Worry Bout Nothin’ Sit Back Relax 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
Duct Tape And Tequila
Can Fix Anything In The World That I Know

You Say The Doctors Gone & Diagnosed & You Don’t Know What’s In Store
The Devils Comin’ Round The Bend And Knockin’ At Your Door
Grab Yourself 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

Repeat Chorus

Another song that came out of a reunion of old friends

Remember When The Days Were Long
When AC/DC Shook Us All Night Long
We’d Drink And Drive And Get Real Stoned
And Try To Get Laid By The Girl We Knew
The Days Went By And The Years Rolled On
Started Thinking Of You And I Wrote This Song

As The Headlights Swarm Around Like Fire Flies
Thinking ‘Bout How Time Has Passed Us Bye
As The Headlights Swarm Around Like Fire Flies
Thinking ‘Bout How Time Has Passed Us Bye

When You Think Of Me Do You Start To Laugh
Remembering All The Good Times We Had
Skipping School, Breakin’ The Rules
Drinkin’ Beer And Acting Like Fools
So Many Memories So Many Secrets Shed
The Ghost Of Our Innocence Is Everywhere

Repeat Chorus

I Guess Reality Hit Us Pretty Hard
We Do Our Best To Keep, Keepin’ On
What The Future Holds We Just Don’t Know
Hold On To Life And Don’t Let Go
The Years Have Passed And How We’ve Grown
Look At Us Now Who Would Have Known

Repeat Chorus

Drunk Mosquitoes BMI © 1999

simply a song about souls departing

Lovers Came And Went
But Meant Nothing In The End
You Were There When My Faith Was Gone
When Nothing Made Sense Anymore

But Now It’s Time For You To Go
And The Last Train To Memphis Gonna Take You Home

It Was You And Me On This Road
The Path We Lead Is The One We Chose
Sometimes You Gotta Walk Through Bad Weather
To Feel The Sun On Your Shoulders

Friends Will Come And Go
Some Die Young Some Grow Old
But Through It All You Stood Like A Stone
Connected To My Heart And My Soul

Repeat Chorus
