Hurricane Man

Yeah look in the closet something will walk out
look in the mirror ain't no one there
apprehension hour a sign of the times
Johnny don't you tell me about love it's a lonely life
She doesn't got to write a book to get herself across
the words they're already there there already there
I can read it so loud and clear
You can pray for the Hurricane Man
Florida palms haven't seen much better
Pictures burn a hole through some color film
do you wanna go out like them, like the good ones did
it's a pretty cool night tonight if you wanna take it for a ride
love me when I love you lately, ain't no loving inside
She doesn't got to write a hook to get herself across
the words they're already there there already there
I can read it so loud and clear
You can pray for the Hurricane Man
Florida palms haven't seen much better
As we start getting older and we feel unknown
as the world starts turning slower so does the phone
a book full of empty pages, half written lines
do you remember that thing about love, Johnny give it a try

The River

She lives down by the river the coldest one around
meet me past the crooked streets on the farthest side of town
do they remember that pretty face at the market down the way
the wages they don't fit into his drinking habits, nothing can these days
Love she's still in love
they're there when they all go blind then
Love she's still in love
what a world to feel so trapped in
Fell asleep in the grassy field where august burned it down
stepped on clothes her stepmoms home, miles from solid ground
her memory fades and she can't recall what the stereo used to play
in that old machine take your father's hand and well finally reach the gates
Love she's still in love
they're there when they all go blind then
Love she's still in love
what a world to feel so trapped in

Country Eyes

If I could learn a hundred new words
I'd write them down and make something useful
put myself to work in making you leave
old man in a singing bar
he croaks out another song
on a pair of writing legs that don't know how to run
Have I gotten past the hardest part
to you I wanna be someone, ain't that fun
below the city lights
the streets they all seem to moan
something insincere
dreams far from here
Where ground meets the sun
that's where you hide from the rain
with only those country eyes today
everything that he thought he was
it's all displayed in the street I know that
there's only a pair of country eyes to blame
Memories pass you by like a train on some speeding rail
soon there's nothing left to tell and the stories fade away as well
time can do a number on ya
it can do a number things
so what's another year punching a card at the mill
Have I gotten past the hardest part
to you I wanna be someone, ain't that fun
I'm still ill
I think I'll always be this way
She's so insincere
dreams far from here
Where ground meets the sun
that's where you hide from the rain
with only those country eyes today
everything that he thought he was
it's all displayed in the street I know that
there's only a pair of country eyes to blame

Lungs

How can you let someone breath for you if they don't know your lungs
I've seen her pull the wool over your eyes in the name of love
You're the witness to it everyday and get stepped on more
How can you let someone breath for you if they don't know your lungs
The bells in the port they ring to bring you home
you're like one of them dock workers that yearns but never reached the boat
between the kids down on 11th street man these streets you can roam
It's a great big world outside you can take it alone
