Trash Day in Beverly Hills
All the sad little mama's with their happy little pills They flirt with the lawn boys as they clean out the pools While the Mexican nannies take the children to school So much to be and nothing to do How did it ever end up that way? Trash day in Nashville, Tennessee No one can smell this religion but me I see it in hairstyles of young Christian men, That drink, smoke, and fuck like the world's gonna end Someday will come and we'll all just pretend That it never really happened that way Happen that way Happen that way Happen that way I can tell a lot by the way that you walk And I can hear the confessions in the way you talk And it's all the actions that give yourself away So I still don't talk, don't breathe It'll all be over soon Trash day in Atlanta, GA I can hear the sanitary truck from 2 miles away I've said everything that this town has to say Won't you bring me your waste and let me throw them away Maybe I was wrong to call your heart a spade But I wish it didn't happen that way Happen that way Happen that way Happen that way |

Do you remember when we met?
Liquor drinks and cigarettes All the boys were taking bets Credit cards, so in debt Bought drinks from you at the bar Poured them out behind my car So I could come back where you are And order from you again And again I'll be your open tap You'll be my favorite sin You're such a pretty melody I'm just a tattooed tragedy Oh baby we don't have to be Like the rest of them What time can we get out of here? I got some words you need to hear I really wanna make it clear I don't do this everywhere How do I make this not sound cheap? I wanna show you where I sleep Keep you there a couple weeks Make you come again And again I'll be your waste of time You'll be my happy end You're such a pretty melody I'm just another tattooed tragedy Oh baby we don't have to be Like the rest of them It's anything but hard to see I want all of you all over me There's not a single part of me That won't ever let you... You're such a pretty melody I'm just another tattooed tragedy Oh baby we don't have to be Like the rest of them It's anything but hard to see I want all of you all over me There's not a single part of me That won't ever let you go. |

Her hair is like a crow's nest, she's got glitter in her eye
Her smile is like a jack-o'-lantern trying not to cry She's been living, been living pretty hard Since her old man up and died a year ago And I see her every morning while she's walking to the check She holds her head like she's got something heavy hanging 'round her neck Puts some money in her purse And hides somewhere he won't expect before she goes Don't you think someone should take you home? Don't you think someone should take you home? Well, she stole more than a little from her folks in Cartersville With that wrong foot in that right boot left a lot of room to fill With one foot on the platform and a lot of time to kill They shoulda' known Don't you think someone should take you home? Don't you think someone should take you home? Well, I haven't seen her lately, guess I just assumed the worst But I think I kinda miss her standing there with her lips pursed First thing in the morning eaning up against the church Like it's your own Don't you think someone should take you home? Don't you think someone should take you home? Don't you think someone should take you home? |

I wrote this down to make it sing just like a song
A little part of me is hating where I've gone The living room disheveled, dishes piled up high Your naked silhouette contrasting in the light It's you... It's you... Pull off with guilt from a confusing kiss goodnight I drive with a cell phone burning as you cry yourself to sleep all night This parking lot is my best friend as it holds me while I stare I can see my breath, I can taste your shoulder, it's something in the air It's you... It's you... This song is just a stripped down version give or take a verse Wanna spare us all the details if it only makes things worse Oh... Oh... Oh... Ah... |

Sunshine, you heal as much as you hurt
With regret in my veins and blood on my shirt Sure must have had myself a personal best It takes filling my lungs up with smoke To get things off my chest Now, I'm crossing the border Wasted again With a number From a Canadian ten Oh Mother, oh Mother why must you complain I grew up alright so don't be ashamed My mouth has been cleaner And I may have lost all my faith Til I believe in myself I can't give my conscience away And you're home with the dishes And I'm out with my friends Placing bets With a Canadian ten And North of the border A sin is a sin When you pay With a Canadian ten I've searched for a reason to not search for you I feel like there's no place I haven't been through I told myself 'don't fall in love if you don't know their name' But my eyes are straight wired to my heart And bypass my brain Sometimes I'm forgetful So I'll start at the end And call the number On this Canadian ten And call the number On this Canadian ten |

I opened up a can of worms
I could see myself hanging onto. It's gonna sting, it's gonna burn I can't win either way. And over time I will just find a way to lose you after all Until then we'll carry on. I took a lot of shots for you Some made my hangovers worse somedays. The movies that you sat me through Were never quite my taste Don't get me wrong I miss the way I used to use you after all But for now, just carry on. We pass a bridge, we made it through You feel different or all things the same. The modulation never do The story is untold. And all I want is to get back to what I'm used to after all Until then I'll carry on |

This house of cards you've built
Has finally fallen down Expect me to come scrape Your ego off the ground Cause everybody talks Everybody talks And I can tell That you can tell What will you do when all of them Want you, want you, want you around Your little costume party's almost over now Alone to momma's house Before the sun goes down Cause everybody talks Everybody talks Nobody's got a heart To tear you all apart And you can tell That I can tell What will you do when all of them Want you, want you, want you around And you can tell That I can tell What will you do when none of them Want you, want you, want you around Your 15 minutes are about To just run out Any of us to take you seriously now? Cause everybody talks Everybody talks Nobody's got a heart To tear you all apart This house of cards you've built Has finally fallen down |

I got my boarding pass, a tank of gas
Then I'm never coming back If I could only get out of the bed in this room You've got the little one who's a lot of fun But your old man, he's a drag So baby, kick him out, pick up the baby and let's go And baby, they don't know what we know So turn the lights down, maybe they'll go Onto another place Get your lips back on my face and let's go Look past the window fan, through the alley cans I can see you changing clothes It's my morning coffee movie everyday You stick your stomach out in the mirror You pat you that wish you had it back I can't find a section of flesh that I would change Baby, you don't know what I know So turn the lights down, maybe they'll go Onto another place I want your lips back on my face and let's go And with just a little luck and a couple bucks We can make a little home Just like the one that I promised to buy when we first met And if I ever lose where we came from I want you to hang me upside down Mama, that's just something we can never forget 'Cause baby, they don't know what we know So turn the lights out, I want to go Back to that starting place The first time your lipstick got on my face and let's go Baby, let's go Baby, let's go Baby, let's go |

I took a shot of morphine just to smell the fear in my heart
and I felt the rush of hesitence, scared to commit from the start So I kissed a man in reno just to watch him puke Now I got more issues than just trying to forget about you I spent half of that whole day sober And the other half dazed and confused And what little bit left just trying to forget about you I saw you at the galley, he was working his way up your skirt He was buying all the rounds, baby, but you're gonna pay for dessert So I pissed in his gas tank while you were at his place Then I siphoned it back out and went upstairs to spit it back in his face I spent the half of that first week healthy And the other rid with the flu And what little bit left just trying to forget about you Six drinks, two deep at a party for a friend of a friend My mouth was moving like a muscle but my heart dead set on sin So I stumbled to the bathroom with who anyone who'd come The only girl that did was married to the sherriff's son Now I'm handcuffed to the toilet half naked with my mouth on his gun I spent the half of that year in prison The other half black and blue And what little bit left trying to forget about you We spent half of my life together Spent the other half coming unglued And what little time I got left trying to forget about you |

Always know the road you're riding on
Always know the words to your baby's song Try to make the most of Friday nights when they come Maybe turn a stranger to a friend Never break a heart that's on the mend Never let the romance ever end like I've done Never judge a color of a skin Never judge a person by their kin Never follow leaders that begin behind some wall Always help your mom across the street Always wash your hands when you wanna eat Always keep em dirty enough to see where you came from And its OK to cry If you feel it comin on It'll let you know you're human in the end All these things will mean more when I'm gone Just be good until then Try to see the best inside the bad No matter how many drinks you had Never make a promise you'll regret come sunrise Try to rarely ever oversleep Always keep your ego at your feet Maybe try to practice what you preach once in a while It's OK to cry If you feel it comin on It'll let you know you're human in the end All these things will mean more when I'm gone Just be good until then Everybody loves a hero Not so much when they fall short so Try to keep your cape on underneath You don't have to try so hard To be the best. Just know you are And that's all that'll matter to me And its OK to cry If you feel it comin on It'll let you know you're human in the end All these things will mean more when I'm gone Just be good until then |
