My Heaviest Bones

Oh I don't need to look outside of me
'cuz everything I need is
written in the marrow of my
heaviest bones.
And I don't fear death 'cuz I
know where I'm going
this life is part if something
bigger than me.
And I've seen my miserable self and
you've seen yours
ain't nothing left to do but
kiss you until you turn blue.
Oh I don't know much about sinning
but I've seen in your eyes
the same little light of mine
shine on, oh shine on.

All Over

If I knew what I know now
Wouldn't matter anyhow
If I knew what I know now
I'd do it all over
I'd do it all over
I'd struggle through the pain
I'd do it all over
Fall down and get up again
I'd do it all over
I'd shower in the rain
I'd do it all over
Life is just one crazy game
If I knew what I know now
Wouldn't matter anyhow
If I knew what I know now
I'd do it all over
I'd do it all over
I'd think that you're the one
I'd do it all over
Stare straight at the rising sun
I'd do it all over
Love til my heart gets sore
I'd do it all over
Eat til I can't eat no more

Horse Without Wings

I’m greener than a twig in the spring
I’ve been trying to come up with a way to swing this question,
But will you come with me
Will you come with me
Will you come with me
I’m heavier than a horse without wings
I’ve got my bags, I’ve got my bottles, I’ve got a million things
But I learn as I go, I s’pose you would know
Yeah, I guess you should know
Cause you were made like me.
You’re paler than the moon on Saint John’s
You’re darker than the day I lost my faith in nothing
Cause something’s got into me
Something’s got into me
Something’s got into me
How dare I go on the road
When so many poor souls
They know better
Yes they know better
Little girls should know better
Sometimes you plus you equals me plus me minus you.
I can’t believe you ever thought that you could come with me.
Just like that, I’d just take you back.
Oh no, something’s got into you.
Boy you’re smart and all, I know, but you’ve got a long, long way…
Way to go.
I’m redder than the kerchief of San Fermin
The blood of ours and yours and theirs could never wash it clean
So we learn as we go, but why is it so slow
Tell me why are we so slow, to figure it out.
It’s survival of the fittest in a world of misery
Where heroes are but legends yet they live ‘mongst you and me
It’s tit for tat, it’s this or that, we know it well, we judge it all too well.
Sometimes the price of the truth is far too steep
And the secrets we keep won’t let us sleep
No they won’t let us sleep, why can’t we let them go
Why don’t we let them go
Why won’t we let them go
Why won’t you let me go
Just let me go, please just let me go
Let me go!

Something's Missing

I don't know if you love me, don't know if I care
I don't if maybe i just need to cut my hair
but something's missing
yeah something's missing
I don't know where I'm going, don't even know where I've been
I keep trying to find me but it seems there's no end to me
yet something's missing
Oh I just read this thing that says if I keep thinking
'bout me that I'll never be happy but baby
those have been some of my happiest times
what about you?
Oh I know what I know and what I know is I don't know nothing
I ain't got nothing on you, 'cause nothing's missing...
I don't know if I love you, don't know if you care
I don't if maybe you just need to grow a beard
but something's missing
yeah something's missing
I don't know where you're going, don't even know where you've been
I keep trying to find you but it seems there's no end to you
yet something's missing
Oh I just read this thing that says if you keep thinking
'bout you that you'll never be happy but baby
those have been some of
those have been some of
those have been some of our
happiest times

CHORUS:
Rolling gently on the great Bayou
Rolling down the river 'cause I ain't got nothing
Rolling gently on the great Bayou
Who's gonna be my lover now?
Who's gonna be my lover now?
My old lover's got new young thunder
He done run away
My old lover's got a new young thunder
Who's gonna be my baby now?
Who's gonna be my baby now?
CHORUS
I didn't even want no big white wedding
Just want to share your name
I didn't even need no big white wedding
Who's gonna be my hubby now?
Who's gonna be my hubby now?
CHORUS
I ain't got nothing but two white dresses
Blue and green ribbons in my hair
I ain't got nothing but two white dresses
Who's gonna be my darling now?
Who's gonna be my darling now?
CHORUS
Summertime's a heatin' and there ain't no shade
Gonna go to the river, gonna drown my sorrows
Summertime's a heatin' and there ain't no shade
Who's gonna keep me from myself?
Who's gonna keep me from myself?
CHORUS
I'm all dressed up in my new blue trousers
Gonna take myself out on the town
I'm all dolled up in my new blue trousers
Who's gonna make me love again?
Who's gonna make me love again?
Who's gonna make me love again?
