Bitter Honey

I’m sorry but I will never like you
It’s a quandary we will never work through
I don’t believe you’ll change and I don’t care if you do
Try again to fix yourself it’s all the same
I will never like you

Bitter honey, it tastes so sweet
I don’t care if you care
And that’s alright with me

Oh oh oh oh yeah yeah
Oh oh oh oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah

Bitter honey, it tastes so sweet
Bitter honey, it tastes so sweet
Bitter honey, it tastes so sweet
Bitter honey, it tastes so sweet

Back in the day you were something to me
But your pent-up fears, they set me free
You can’t undo your helplessness
So I like it here, without your mess

Bitter honey, it tastes so sweet
I don’t care if you care
And that’s alright with me

Oh oh oh oh yeah yeah
Oh oh oh oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah

Bitter honey, it tastes so sweet
I don’t care if you care
And that’s alright with me

Oh oh oh oh yeah yeah
Oh oh oh oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah

Down To Me

Til now, I tried to be so strong
but you won’t come ‘round and I had to wait too long
Til now, I tried to be so strong
but you won’t come ‘round and I had to wait too long

Now it’s night time
I’m a freight train
On a straight line
I’m not the same Make the tires whine
I’m a hard rain
When I pour down grey
The lies wash away

(And I got it on track now) I’m on my way
(Ima get it right back now) I finally made up my mind
(To drop my heavy load) I’ll be makin’ up time
(Down that lonely road) I’ll cross the county line
(On the interstate) I’m not just runnin’ away
(From a static fate) I’m runnin’ down a new day
(And I’m wide awake) And I got it back down to me

I was afraid to make that turn
Afraid I’d never numb to the echos of your cries
I tried to suffer through that burn
That cruel bite when I pulled against my ties

Now it’s night time
I’m a freight train
On a straight line
I’m not the same Make the tires whine
I’m a hard rain
When I pour down grey
The lies wash away

And I got it on track now) I’m on my way
(Ima get it right back now) I finally made up my mind
(To drop my heavy load) I’ll be makin’ up time
(Down that lonely road) I’ll cross the county line
(On the interstate) I’m not just runnin’ away
(From a static fate) I’m runnin’ down a new day
(And I’m wide awake) And I got it back down to me

Oh, yeah, got it back down to me
Oh, yeah, got it back down, got it back down
ooooooooo

Til now, I tried to be so strong
but you won’t come ‘round and I had to wait too long
Til now, I tried to be so strong
but you won’t come ‘round and I had to wait too long

Now it’s night time
I’m a freight train
On a straight line
I’m not the same Make the tires whine
I’m a hard rain
When I pour down grey
The lies wash away

(And I got it on track now) I’m on my way
(Ima get it right back now) I finally made up my mind
(To drop my heavy load) I’ll be makin’ up time
(Down that lonely road) I’ll cross the county line
(On the interstate) I’m not just runnin’ away
(From a static fate) I’m runnin’ down a new day
(And I’m wide awake) And I got it back down to me

My Kind of Life

Taught to rush at every turn
Little girl will you ever learn
Make your plans or go by god
What’s it gonna be, what’s it gonna be?

I wanna sigh when I’m tired
Don’t wanna hold back when I’m running wild

So let that be my kind of life
Let that be my kind of life
Ooooooo Ooooooo

Don’t play it off with no concern
You’re saddled up with no return
Make your plans or go by god
What’s it gonna be, what’s it gonna be?

I wanna play when I’m wired
Don’t wanna hold back when my soul’s on fire

So let that be my kind of life
Let that be my kind of life
Ooooooo Ooooooo

I wanna sigh when I’m tired
Don’t wanna hold back when I’m running wild
I wanna play when I’m wired
Don’t wanna hold back when my soul’s on, when my soul’s on, when my soul’s on fire

So let that be my kind of life
Let that be my kind of life
Let that be my kind of life
Let that be my kind of life

Stay as you are…yeah
Lovely as you are…yeah
Don’t ya take this ride all the way down
Don’t ya keep, keep me around
’Cause I know babe, you deserve better
Better than the wreck of me
Baby, you deserve better
Better than the wreck of me

Andrew and Henry

The Thompson murder it was awfully grizzly
Smell that mess around the whole damn city
That little Ellie, she was young and pretty
A week from her wedding, lord, it’s such a pity

They found her right outside of Henry’s back door
They’d been lovers some years before
I can’t believe nobody heard the gun
Now she’ll never marry that senator’s son

The neighbors hadn’t seen Henry for days
They sent a patrol to his parents’ place
They found him pulling up a fishing string
Lord only knows what he did with that ring

You know they put him on The Hammer’s docket
The lord can’t bless and his Dad can’t stop it
Who’s gonna keep him from that mortal shock?
Just a 2-bit lawyer in the D.A.’s pocket

Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo

Andrew is breathing in the cigar smoke
He kneels down and he burns a note
All the questions are settling down
Just what was she doing on the wrong side of town
The next time he has a fateful fling
He might even give her little Ellie’s ring
His Daddy’s rich and his Momma’s pretty
Smell that mess around the whole damn city

They got Henry on The Hammer’s docket
The lord can’t bless and his Dad can’t stop it
Who’s gonna keep him from that mortal shock
Just a 2-bit lawyer in the D.A.’s pocket

Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo

In My Mind

To walk away…a step, that’s all it takes
An ordinary move, that’s all it takes
But I don’t know why I, I keep holding on Well those, those bright eyes of yours
I’m not so strong

‘Cause you, you’re on mind
And I love what’s going on in my mind

To lose my breath…a look, that’s all it takes
An ordinary move, that’s all it takes
But I don’t know why I, I keep holding on
Well those, those bright eyes of yours I’m not so strong

Cause you, you’re on mind
And I love what’s going on in my mind Yeah I love what’s going on oh I love what’s going on yeah I love what’s going on
In my mind In my mind

You Got it Wrong

Conscience, what a shame
It pulls you through you’re own flames You got it wrong with my name
You got it wrong, You got it wrong

You pushed me along Out, then in again
Well I’m not waiting
For you to, for you to lay me out again

Cause your conscience, well what a shame
It pulls you through you’re own flames You got it wrong with my name
You got it wrong, You got it wrong

Well I never hear from you
But I know what you’re thinking That I’m the one that’s selfish That’s I’m the one who’s sinking

Cause your conscience, well what a shame
It pulls you through you’re own flames You got it wrong with my name
You got it wrong, You got it wrong
