I’m lookin for any kinda trouble 
That this child that’s seemed to have taken over can find
I know I saw it in your smile
I had such trouble looking you in the eyes

I’ve been wrong before, and I hope that this isn’t one
Of those countless times I’ve let myself down

We could meet in the morning, since we’re both busy at night
Coffees and a conversation we could share if you like
I know you think I’m crazy but I doubt I’ll let you down
Cause if you let me into your mind I might not get out

You say “I barely even know you”
I say “that’s right but everything starts small”
We’ve all got our past and pile of problems
But you’ve got to get over that for us to talk

We could meet in the morning, since we’re both busy at night
Coffees and a conversation we could share if you like
I know you think I’m crazy but I doubt I’ll let you down
Cause if you let me into your mind I might not get out

And you may say you want nothing to do with me
I’ll pack it up and leave you alone
Alone

Well I’ve been wrong before, and we can both see that I’m not
Unlike countless times before, you lift me up up up
                  
Now we meet in the mornings, every Tuesday at nine
Talk about the things we thought and we said the first time
You may still think I’m crazy and I hope I haven’t let you down
Because I let you into my heart and you’re not getting out

She couldn’t hide that her eyes were on me
So I cut a path through the bar to the back to introduce myself and all of our friends
Can I buy you a drink? 
Okay some wine, now tell me your name

She told me that she has a
Cold heart, she’s so cold blooded, a native of New England
Teaching boys to fight the
Most hard, the wolves set on each other for a love reserved for no one
No one no one no one
No one no one no one

Now it’s been months, and I’m addicted to the smell of her scalp
I played her all of my songs and she says “well they’re nice, but they’re not very fast
I would rather dance
I would rather dance”

She told me that she has a
Cold heart, she’s so cold blooded, a native of New England
Teaching boys to fight the
Most hard, the wolves set on each other for a love reserved for no one
No one no one no one
No one no one no one

Then came the snow, and the dark, and the cold
That she told me she knows so well
But I’m a tropical fish, and I can’t tell why you do this
Can’t you feel that undercurrent when we kiss?

Yes, she said yes
And it warms her from her lips to her chest

She told me I can keep her 
Whole heart, promise not to drop it, you can keep it if you lock it next to yours
Accusing me of stealing but she
Gave it, that first night it melted 
Now her heart belongs to only one

Only one only one only one
Only one only one only one

I'm goin' down to the Greyhound Station, gonna get a ticket to ride 
Gonna find that lady with two or three kids and sit down by her side 
Ride 'til the sun comes up and down around me 'bout two or three times 
Smokin' cigarettes in the last seat 
Tryin' to hide my sorrow from the people I meet

and get along with it all 
Go down where the people say "y'all" 
Sing a song with a friend 
Change the shape that I'm in, 
And get back in the game, 
And start playin' again

I'd like to stay but I might have to go to start over again 
Might go back down to Texas, might go to somewhere that I've never been 
And get up in the mornin' and go out at night
and I won't have to go home 
Get used to bein' alone 
Change the words to this song 
Start singin' again

I'm tired of runnin' 'round lookin' for answers to questions that I already know 
I could build me a castle of memories just to have somewhere to go 
Count the days and the nights that it takes to get back in the saddle again 
Feed the pigeons some clay 
Turn the night into day 
Start talkin' again, when I know what to say

I'm goin' down to the Greyhound Station, gonna get a ticket to ride 
Gonna find that lady with two or three kids and sit down by her side 
Ride 'til the sun comes up and down around me 'bout two or three times 
Smokin' cigarettes in the last seat 
Tryin' to hide my sorrow from the people I meet 
And get along with it all

Go down where the people say "y'all" 
Feed the pigeons some clay 
Turn the night into day 
Start talkin' again 
When I know what to say

Thank you Tyler Childers
Thank you Alabama
----------
Once I was a dying breed
Chewin’ on an ancient leaf
Before we took the notion
To keep up with the times
And leave ‘em all behind
Chisel to the paper
Tattoos on the ether
Fadin’ in the light

All the while I'd gorge my gut
Come the time then I would rut
Runnin’ high and low to find my prehistoric queen
To keep me warm till Spring
When I'd go out with my friends
Graze the land and wonder when I’d see your face again

Till the day I met my doom
I took one in the boiler room
To put food on the table of a dying breed of man

Once I was a broken heart
And once I tore your heart apart
Once my heart put out before I ever got to breathe
But my soul returned to seed
And come to Earth again
Clucking out a livin' as the favorite layin' hen

'Til the day I met my doom
A fox got in the chicken coop
Doin' all he knew to do to feed a hungry den

On and on down the line
I’ve swam canals and bore the hide
Of plenty births along this ride of being born again

Once I was and you were too
And we were both the word of truth
We built this world together with a loud and mighty bang
Lord it sounded like a train
And echoed o’er the land
And we came up with a game to play of being born again

Tyler Childers cover

I am now the one she left
A haunted tale for someone else
A little bit about herself
Wherever she is sleeping
Flint strikes out to pierce the dark
Cause a flame from just one spark
Fill the room with smoke so harsh
She exhales a memory
The past is fadin'
Over time, but it's still hangin' on for life
I'm now her used to be
He is now the one she needs
He is now the one she leans on
She looks out at the sunset
On a quilt of rags he holds her tight
And they raise a toast of Bulleit Rye
Whiskey kills all things in time
Like things she don't remember
The past is fadin'
Over time, but it's still hanging on for life
I am now an old headstone
And to her grave I'll die alone
A testament of how she's grown
Wherever she is sleepin'
The past is fadin'
Over time, but it's still hanging on for life
