West Won 03:26
I made sure the West was won Before I rode into the sun That was the worst thing I ever did Shooting down Billy the Kid Santa Fe bells are ringing Dancing round to end the season I ain't got no place to go I lost her at the old pueblo Driving on this wagon train Listen to the coyote call my name Holding tight to the reins Hiding out robbing trains That was the worst thing I ever done Mama didn't know her own son Santa Fe bells are ringing Dancing round to end the season I ain't got no place to go I lost her at the old pueblo Driving on this wagon train Listen to the coyote call my name The horse is running The horse is running The horse is running wild The horse is running The horse is running The horse is running Wild Santa Fe bells are ringing Dancing round to end the season I ain't got no place to go I lost her at the old pueblo Driving on this wagon train Listen to the coyote call my name Listen to the coyote call my name Listen to the coyote call my name

Feel my guts rolling Like an ocean tide Lost in the desert Withered and dry cold sweat in the starlight A bird in the sky I can't hold my liquor I force down a cry Made myself king of the fools Thought I could break all the rules But drinking broke mine Take all that I have And all that I ask Is carry me through this mountain pass Wrestled with angels, I ain't got no hope Been drowning my sorrow To the end of my rope Through the hills and the valleys There's a weight on my chest I'm tired and weary I'm looking for rest Bottles with secrets A voice on the breeze It's only a whirlwind Turning the leaves I don't want to bring you down I know you don't like my frown Well neither do I Take all that I have And all that I ask Is carry me through this mountain pass Wrestled with angels, I ain't got no hope Been drowning my sorrow To the end of my rope Take all that I have And all that I ask Is carry me through this mountain pass Wrestled with angels, I ain't got no hope Been drowning my sorrow To the end of my rope Been drowning my sorrow To the end of my rope

The losing game The only game I've played The losing game There ain't no dice to shake Put me down for all I have Every ounce of strength I'll put up all that I have Every breathe I'll take The losing game I will win Upon my soul I'd place that bet The pieces they fall From my fingers they slip I was born to lose I know love will win Adrenaline In the roulette wheel Adrenaline The secrets concealed Put me down for all I have Playing the hand of life I'll put up all that I have The mix of joy and strife The losing game I can't deny Falling so low Riding so high You'll take me home With every sin that I've gained When the cards are down I am not afraid Let the chips fall The wager is set I'll risk it all Got no regrets The losing game The only game I've played The losing game I'm not afraid

Mother, mother, tell me the history I'm tired of all this mystery I cannot see the grand design Lost in numbers, symbols and signs This could be our red moon summer We could wash away the pain You could hold on forever Let the desert keep its snakes Move slow, tell me what you're offering I don't got what it takes So sad the way that I hold on to all of my mistakes Father, father, what am I missing I can't complete my mission Hey, you don't have to help me understand I don't feel like a man This could be our red moon summer We could wash away the pain You could hold on forever Let the desert keep its snakes Move slow, tell me what you're offering I don't got what it takes So sad the way that I hold on to all of my mistakes Do I rise just to fall While I lose my mind Here to live, just to die Hope I can change one more time Oh to live, just to die Wanna lose my mind How I rise just to fall Can I change one more time This could be our red moon summer We could wash away the pain You could hold on forever Let the desert keep its snakes This could be our red moon summer We could wash away the pain You could hold on forever Let the desert keep its snakes Move slow, tell me what you're offering I don't got what it takes So sad the way that I hold on to all of my mistakes

Pick up the lifeline Speak truth the first time Hold on keep talking I will keep calling Keep talking You don't have to act so tough Keep talking You are more than enough Keep talking Hold my hand when you're falling I will keep calling I hear your secrets Let it out, don't fear it New hope is dawning I will keep calling Keep talking You don't have to act so tough Keep talking You are more than enough Keep talking Hold my hand when you're falling I will keep calling I will keep calling You gotta keep talking You don't have to act so tough Keep talking You are more than enough Keep talking Hold my hand when you're falling I will keep calling I will keep calling I will keep calling

Rat Race 03:25
The bathroom floor is where I'm laying I'm at work sweating through my shirt I hope that soon I'll stop shaking Itching for a cure, my drugs not pure If I was gone, it wouldn't matter One less person climbing the ladder Broken, disgrace Running The Rat Race The same cycle keeps replaying Punching into work, holding in the hurt I know I can't sustain this Too tired to feel, smoke my last meal If I was gone, it wouldn't matter One less person climbing the ladder Broken, disgrace Running The Rat Race I'm running on my nowhere wheel Up upon that great big hill No one cares how I feel Running on my nowhere wheel If I was gone, it wouldn't matter One less person climbing the ladder If I was gone, it wouldn't matter One less person on the ladder Broken, disgrace Running The Rat Race

I am the preacher, living in hell I found freedom in my iron cell Reading your Book Of Life, what you have seen? Oh humanity is sweet misunderstandings A lantern in the abyss The light feels sweet as a kiss I feel the fire in my veins Mixed between pleasure and pain Free at last a fond farewell From the stone cold preacher At the bottom of hell Fed by the fire my flowers bloom my garden grows within the gloom Fed by the black pools, they show me myself All my sins laid upon the shelf A wounded healer, an eternal flame Sweet redemption, free from shame I feel the fire in my veins Mixed between pleasure and pain Free at last a fond farewell From the stone cold preacher At the bottom of hell Angels gather in white masses Phoenix rising from red ashes Even though the world is burning The field is white ready for working I feel the fire in my veins Mixed between pleasure and pain Free at last a fond farewell From the stone cold preacher At the bottom From the stone cold preacher At the bottom From the stone cold preacher At the bottom of hell

Babies grow up to be cowboys Grow up to be real boys Never men Maybe it's some of the real thing Almost a feeling in your skin Here's the evening red as wine Watch the sunshine through the pines Crossing the great divide Running still can't hide Tracing a line to the lonely A one-trick pony Who prances and cries Dancing to sad songs and guitars Wish on the North Star To see you again Throw my punches in the air I'll keep preaching from my chair Crossing the great divide Running still can't hide Crossing the great divide Running still can't hide
