Website: pawtuckets.com Blackberry Winter you know this world's in a blackberry winter everytime i think it's warmin' up it turns cold on me i've spent my time lookin' for a fire but I just can't find anyone to warm up with ma on the back of the farm there's an old fence runnin' down along the woods and across the field but to the fruit on the vine the cold has put a hurtin' and i don't think there will be a good turnout this year remember that time you end I went pickin' laughin' and singin' in the summer rain it's just a memory now since you went leavin' this blackberry winter is gonna drive me insane SET UP I'm set up shot down I'm tired of this here town I'm done in fed up drinkin' whiskey from a lovin' cup i'm goona ride into the sun over the water over the sea feelin' the fire its carryin' me thru the black waters the breakers the beach It's shinin' on down It's just out of reach It's over the hills where there's a silent spring that speaks no tales about what it's going to be today I'm a.w.o.l. just found but there's no use for me to hang around I shoot straight I leave fast the longer I stay the longer it lasts I want to ride into the sun don't wanna hear from no one just me and the open air the rest i don't give a care gonna ride into the sun fire in the hills wind in the trees blowim' the rage inside of me bare lonely night dark even road which one's gonna carry my load a load so heavy I could never see that it was newer ever goin' to be this way HATCHIE BOTTOM down in hatchie bottom there's a place he likes to go gets back to the roots there it's the only thing he knows ridin' down that river sun comes through the trees sound of muddy water ridin' underneath tennessee backs are bleedin' brown tears of rain river's gettin' wider he can feel it start to strain down in desoto county meet you by a lake watch time pass together you're the one i wanna take 1-55 kept us alive like a vein between our hearts broken now at least for us gotta make another start watchin' time pass alone now river keeps on rollin' by not sure what the point is but i never wanna die takin' shortcuts that we know cut clear across the state line lookin' for somethin' to turn to nothin's right and we're out of time two dogs out in the front yard one's deaf and the other can't see try to give them equal attention but they can't get enough of ma lookin' harder than I used to older I get the less I say I understand what brought me here but why did you have to go away lookin' harder than i used to older I get the less I say understand what brought me here but my love will never stay PUNCHLINE burn on a monday he came out backwards balls a bit bigger than his head became a legend that few have ever heard never gave a damn about what people said here he comes a whistlin' is anybody listenin' it's a tune no one knows it's stuck there in his head sometimes he wants another instead but hers's how it always goes everybody says he was lookin' for some trouble he always said he was just havin' some fun one man's trouble is another man's punchline we always knew he'd never hurt no one liked his mickey's malt liquor and his cheap red wine sat around the house and listened to john prine an illegal smile was never a crime said he was lazy he was takin' his own damn time we know he's comin' cause me can hear him hummin' it's a song no one's heard a verse and a chorus and it would never bore us he kept on changin' the words everybody said he was lookin' for some trouble he always said he was just havin' a good time all is well when the world laughs with you trouble is when it don't get the punchline got into some down in benton county told a sheriff he could go to hell sheriff didn't smile when he took out a bounty that's why he got his ass still stuck in jail MISSISSIPPI PARKING LOT hearts, beat, fast and did those brown eyes wait for the lies they might be suprised in the mornin' warm, night, alone outside the thick air flyin' through your dark hair goin' down the road and now that you are young eighteen, champagne now it's swallowin' you whole life, lord bless my soul take it now or give it back right here by the wanderin' tracks i know what you're goin' through and i know what you're gonna do i once had a love like you in a time that's all for not in a mississippi parking lot hesitation, oh no, not now complications arise knowin' that there might be ties really tryin' to he so good and now there's the boyfriend strong and proud another thing he's a real nice guy makes me kind of wonder why why that i'm just sittin' here lookin' at you you're sippin' my beer i know what you're goin' through and i know what you're gonna do i could feel the same thing too it's an unbearable hot in a mississippi parking lot beauty lies down and as two bodies rise just like the fire-flies and she tightly grips my hand and says that i don't understand i remember when this was mine all these things for the first time regrets, none, maybe and if i were younger i'd take all your hunger write it on the bathroom wall and it would he my favorite stall and all my friends too i know what you're goin' through and i know what you're gonna do and i once could love like you in a time the south forgot in a mississippi parking lot Too Far Gone I saw the moon in my rear view ridin' out on east lakeview highway's harder to see this time of year down by the lake there is an old chair and the mosquitoes hummin' are singin' our song i'm gettin' ready for real life i'm gettin' ready to make my wife think i'm ready to take it on but it don't matter cause i'm too far gone i don't stay up late at night i toss and turn on saturday night wonderin' if my friends are hangin' out i don't know the reason other than this feelin' that i get when i stay up late with you i'm gettin' ready for somethin' know it's not for nothin' i've been lookin' for way too long but it's all right cause i'm too far gone movin' out to the country over half an hour from the city still drive downtown and back home from work each day i heard everythin' fades away from dawn to dusk and back to the day but all i know is it's been pretty good so far LEAVIN' i've been thinkin' about this town you've been drinkin' cause it's got you down in the mornin' i'll be gone without warnin' don't know what went wrong every night you're spinnin' through my head i wake up alone and my eyes are burnin' red you know i never meant to bring you down guess we just can't ever leave this town 4 years ago i was knockin' on your door baby where did you go was the question i asked before who was hidin' inside your room you wouldn't say nothin' but I knew I'd find out soon now it's all a part of our past now we're drinkin' from the same glass SWEETNESS true love come and gone, settle down and carry on like a flag in the breeze blown away blowin' free take it back back to where but somethin's gone what i need is a little sweetness like them georgia peaches to show me some weakness what i need's a little sweetness boverin' above with silver beads lay me down do as you please open book with a heart add suspicion it falls apart here she comes over there but somethin's gone what i need is a little sweetness like them georgia peaches so show me some weakness what i need's a little sweetness so tired of workin' my life my love and it all i wish it would come easy like i knew it would when i was a boy shut it up, stop the whine, not now it's not the time, when to yell, you can't tell, when you're gonna have to lay it down, "in her arms" don't need more than this a lastin' look a longin' kiss take it slow and be kind ebb and flow your finest wine WHEN IT ALL COMES DOWN i've been thinkin' about what's goin' on thought i had it figured out but i was wrong sometimes second guessin' will leave you in second place in a race that only has room for one you were my certain reason softness in your eyes is givin' me that feelin' now that my age is changin' season tryin' to find a way to make it come out even hung my hat on the mirror listenin' to a song headin' back to where i'm fros but i can't stay very long it ain't easy when you ain't got nothin' but you know it's just as hard to give up your lovin' stuck in my head now like a day to the evenin' thoughts runnin' through my head been thinkin' about leavin' when it all comes down SHADE there's a mist in the meadow dew upon the stone weeds up in the fields a grey barn that stands alone when i sit back and rest and all of my troubles seem to fade under an old hickory that's when i'm in my spot of shade there's a tree holdin' up a fence and gravel poppin' under tires the dust spewin' hind the wheels risin' up to the telephone wires the sun beats down and it burns my brow as the red begins to fade that's when i'm in my spot of shade skippin' stones up over the road blackberry patch along the fence line goin' over all i've known all alone this shade is mine whenever i'm worn and tired standin' all alone feelin' hell's hot fires and i have no earthly home that's when i sit back and rest and all my troubles seem to fade under an old hickory that's when i'm in my spot of shade rain on my brow SHOVEL GOES DOWN' written by Kenny Hays SONG FOR EMILY she was born in a small town in 1973 spent a big past of her life in middle tennessee she grew up acting stronger than a superhuman can but emily was privately just trying to understand it wasn't long ago when she'd come to all the shows but now all i can do is sing a song for emily i met her in mephis on a night i won't forget she stood next to me, you could hardly see that we only had just met we spent the night with the moonlight shining through my room window and i held her hand trying to understand where she'd been all the years before the summer night is coloring the sky so blonde just like her hair while i sit on my back porch and sing a song for emily she had friends all around her, though sometimes she left alone so we built our dreams wearing old blue jeans and working on our home we'd watch the sun go down at night, knowing we'd done our best and when i'd lie down, she'd turn out the light and say, "baby, it's time to rest." now I'm waking up without her lying next to me but when I want to see her i just sing a song for emily REST OF OUR DAYS you bring the wine and i'll bring the glass it wasn't too long we were runnin' out fast reminiscin' bout the days gone past i'm sure we'll have some more remember that time we ran out of luck put a big dent in the hack of your truck, ran of f the drive and we were stuck had to wait until morn. that was a night we'll remember in a most unusual way that was a night we'll resaber for the rest of our days four in the sornin' knocked on the door are they in there well we're not sure sat outside and tried to ignore skeaters as large as our thumbs they had us for dinner they had us for tea there was a few on you and a lot on me end they buzasd around bussed just as we and we all were numb. that was a night we'll remember in a most unusual way that was a night we'll remember for the rest of our days lord i feel it comin' down like a whiskey brown river buttin' heads with a mighty dam, tonight's open air is for all of us to share slice it up like a piece of pie under the open sky i was there! we never had a map never followed a chart couldn't ever tell when and where it would stert but we made f---in' up a whole new art an art we called our own See its the spring in your step its the wink in your eye tired of bein' tired and sick of knowin' why i made a mistake could i have another try tonight would be alright
