Move 04:07
New morning brings me cold dew Aching back and I’m missing you These days, I’m ready too School house, threshing floor I had enough and they tell me take some more These days, I’m ready too Ready to move on, ready to skip town Ready to go and come around Ready to take all we gave back Ready to move Evening air holds my breath, But there’s no guarantee of any life or any death These days, I’m ready too Sparks fly in a gasoline tank As we embark on a boat already sinking (we embarked on a boat ready to sink) These days, I’m ready too Ready to move on, ready to skip town Ready to go and come around Ready to take all we gave back Ready to move

Jacqueline 04:39
Jacqueline, why don’t you tell me what’s on your mind? Hate getting stuck here all the time I can’t wait anymore for you Jacqueline, it’s like you left me out in the rain. Like you threw me in front of a train Girl, I don’t’ know anymore what to do Why don’t you tell me the truth girl? Is it so hard to do? Am i just wasting all my time? All the time i spend here with you Jacqueline, you sent me all my letters back You let my vinyl records scratch And then you let me walk right out your door Jacqueline, you know this isn’t what I need ‘Cause I know what’s good for me And I can’t keep coming back for more Why don’t you tell me the truth girl? Is it so hard to do? Am i just wasting all my time? All the time i spend here with you Jacqueline, why don’t you tell me what’s on your mind? Hate getting stuck here all the time I can’t wait anymore for you Why don’t you tell me the truth girl? Is it so hard to do? Am i just wasting all my time? All the time i spend here with you

Coffee 03:03
Me and all your friends you got us So confused its old news But what you didn’t see Is that someone like you should lose your infancy In a world where I never had you, baby I want you back As a girl who would never want to, you keep me on track I’ve got seven days and counting down with ease Even for old times, let’s go get coffee Me and all your friends you got us So confused its old news But what you didn’t see Is that someone like you should throw out your Barbies In a world where I never had you, baby I want you back As a girl who would never want to, you keep me on track I’ve got seven days and counting down with ease Even for old times, let’s go get coffee Well my head’s not spinning now Only cause you stand still With some crème and some coffee grounds Well I promise you it will In a world where I never had you, baby I want you back As a girl who would never want to, you keep me on track I’ve got seven days and counting down with ease Even for old times, let’s go get coffee

Naive 04:58
Don’t text me and wake us up, she told me this morning Thinking she’d still get her way But everything that you did right, You know it died for to me today ‘Cause you hound me and your drown me in what has gone Can you hear my resentment? Or will you just sing along? I wish you could see what you’re doing to me ‘Cause I’ve been hurt enough and I’m no longer sorry A text message breakup after dating four years Who did I think you were? But I’m thankful, yeah I’m thankful it’s over That’s one thing that I’m sure ‘Cause you hound me and your drown me in what has gone Can you hear my resentment? Or will you just sing along? I wish you could see what you’re doing to me ‘Cause I’ve been hurt enough and I’m no longer sorry

Bluegrass 05:18
Well I thought you'd look pretty next to me Pretty shallow, I’m sorry I thought I’d have you in the trees Not the flowers, but good enough for me Headed up, all was well in Carolina Spending time every day we talked it out But then a porch swing conversation sent you spinning Into orbit and spiraling in doubt So let's put on some bluegrass and think about it I’ll read you a romance novel too Think about what all your friends are saying It’s only love that's waiting here for you Now you've gone and gotten yourself in a quandary You need a man of means to get you to the end You put your heart out on your sleeve to take a beating But not a single simple text you'd want to send As your behavior shocks the likes of all your exes And pushes them away it pulls me in I have nothing but clarity around me And no excuses for adults who play pretend So let's put on some bluegrass and think about it I’ll read you a romance novel too Think about what all your friends are saying It’s only love that's waiting here for you My buddy calls you late to talk it over: "Is this you? Is this who you want to be?" I sit and write a song anticipating And get nostalgic for the weekend in the trees Pretty faces don't deserve to do the crying Silently you blame it on yourself But that's not yet the worst of it they tell me Cause here I am another boyfriend that can help So let's put on some bluegrass and think about it I’ll read you a romance novel too Think about what all your friends are saying It’s only love that's waiting here for you It’s only love

Transference 04:00
Did I give you everything you needed? Did I shield you from the cold? Did I take the time to listen To all the things I wasn’t supposed to know? Yeah, I know about your childhood And what your cousin did to you Don’t have time for your excuses I don’t make time to play the fool Well, did nobody treat you right back home? Did somebody let you down? Well did nobody treat you right back home? Put your shoebox back in the ground I don’t have time for your memories now Yeah I know what I’ve been missing, Yeah I know it isn’t you I’m trying to find something that’s easy, Not fake the love you’re trying to prove You think I like to be your counselor? You think I love it when I’m right? I don’t like knowing all the answers Takes all the learning out of my life Well did nobody treat you right back home? Did somebody let you down? Well did nobody treat you right back home? Put your shoebox back in the ground I don’t have time for your memories now I’m not your doctor, I’ll never be So don’t set your sights on marrying me Sure I understand you, yeah I know you best But I’ve yet to find a girl who can handle my head I don’t have time for all your problems I’ve got heartache of my own At least I found a way of dealing Outside of running or going back home You found a place for all your feelings In your shoebox in the dirt Well you try to express and get it all off your chest Every day takes a little more work Well did nobody treat you right back home? Did somebody let you down? Well did nobody treat you right back home? Put your shoebox back in the ground I don’t have time for your memories now

Mr. Radio 04:30
When I was young put on the radio Listen to the world I would become War and politics command it Never mind the beating of a drum My mind, it listened patiently My ears grew tired of the solemn noise My heart grew numb to all of it Now curiosity we must avoid When it all comes down again Bear in mind, it’ll come I won’t know what’s happening, What’s hitting me, I’m living free Mr. Radio, please just let me be I take some time alone to wonder, Singing through my mornings for a year Well, curiosity it got the best of me and Late one night I turned a hopeful ear. Confession in the driver’s seat I lost all touch with races to be run The taste of metal on my lips And from my mouth I pull a loaded gun When it all comes down again Bear in mind, it’ll come I won’t know what’s happening, What’s hitting me, I’m living free Mr. Radio, please just let me be Good night Mr. Radio, don’t set your dial on me.

Olah 03:44
Ain’t nobody ever sing to you? Aint you heard that song before? Your eyes say that you miss me like I spent three years at war In some forgotten country where they rearrange the dust with carbon bombs Oh la la la la la la la I will confess I had my feelings, making small talk on the way To a lecture class that kicks my ass plus I'm always running late I make up some excuse to be on your side of town, I call you up Oh la la la la la la la Oh la la la la la la la I refuse to be your Jodi, how dare you tempt me so? Consider myself gone until you know, I’m not breaking up the married folk Well I thought I couldn’t have you, now I shouldn’t, now it’s wrong Every time you leave a message or start a hug that lasts too long I’ve always been the little straw that breaks the camel’s back, well suck it up Oh la la la la la la la Well please don’t make it awkward, your precious room-mate says to me Well pretty close to over isn’t solid guarantee 'Cause my heart it starts to hurting with complicated love and cold Chinese Oh la la la la la la la Oh la la la la la la la I refuse to be your Jodi, how dare you tempt me so? Consider myself gone until you know, I’m not breaking up the married folk I want both of your friendships but Carolina does it right I’d rather be alone if I can get to sleep at night Go now to your arms, boys, I call in my retreat Cause all your double lovin' is double flanking me Oh la la la la la la la Oh la la la la la la la I refuse to be your Jodi, how dare you tempt me so? Consider myself gone until you know, I’m not breaking up the married folk Oh la la la lala la la

That girl with the long dark hair She done tied me to a chair She cut the rope and sent the boy out on his way And when that rope it hit the ground It tied the knot on this little town She cut the rope and sent the boy out on his way ‘Cause gravel roads can only bring me so far for today John Henry down the road You know that he has paid his toll And his hammer set the steak into the ground Well that old tractor on the lawn With the rust where blue paint has gone Has kicked us down the road to find our way ‘Cause gravel roads can only bring me so far for today I kiss my momma’s fears goodbye, I leave the greener grass behind me And I set off with my baby by my side Well concrete or marble slab, We’ve run our 18 laps And now we can kick off down the road to find our way ‘Cause gravel roads can only bring me so far for today I kiss my momma’s fears goodbye, I leave the greener grass behind me And I set off with my baby by my side Well concrete or marble slab, We’ve run our 18 laps And now we can kick off down the road to find our way ‘Cause gravel roads can only bring me so far for today

What would you do, what if you knew that a pretty girl would love you back? What would you say? What would you tell her if you knew that she was listening? Listening Well I think that I could love you but I’d never know until we tried Miles to go before I sleep, but I don’t think that you’d survive the night You already know so much about me You already know so much about me What would you do, what if you knew that a pretty boy had someone in his way? What would you say? What would you tell her if you knew that she was listening? Listening Well I think that I could love you but I’d never know until we tried Miles to go before I sleep, but I don’t think that you’d survive the night You already know so much about me You already know so much about me
