White dome rising over orange tiles
Tree lined hill stretching on for miles
Time echoes through these narrow streets
As we find a quiet place to eat 
Oh baby did we find our gold
Our gold 
And tonight darling meet me
Oh meet me in Rome

Lost in the old world’s beating heart 
Ghosts of the past an arm's length apart
I see you laughing neath the party lights
Half done your rosé down by the riverside
Oh baby did we find our gold
Our gold 
And tonight darling meet me
C'mon and meet me in Rome

If I had my way we’d keep walking
Till we felt the morning chill
Becoming a part of the magic
Another story of the seven hills

Late morning light cracks through the air
Church bells ringing out fill the square
Sometimes I dream we were there again
Searching for life in a distant land
Oh baby did we find our gold
Our gold 
Tonight darling meet me
C'mon and meet me in Rome

Rome

I was born out in nowhere
Underneath the Collette sun
And I worked real hard in my dad's garage
Finding junk and making it run
They sent my ass off to church
Seems as soon as I hit the ground
Trying to set me down on that right path 
Find a little slice of the grace they found

Till I sin again
Till I sin again 
They'll take your money and your time friend
Till you die, Sinnerman

I rounded up all my money
And drove on through Dixie land
Oh with a half tank of gas a picture of my love
And my last paycheck in my hand
Well last night I heard three sisters singing
Calling me down to the riverside
Saying they would baptize me in the water
Devil would leave my soul behind

Till I sin again
Till I sin again
They'll take your money and your time friend
Till you die, Sinnerman

I met a man who saw the face of God
Said it struck him dumb with fear
Oh for five bucks he could tell me the day of my death
And for ten he could tell me the year
Now I've heard all of his sermons
I've heard all of those righteous lies
Aimed at lost souls praying for redemption
While salvation is still cheap to buy

Till they sin again
Till they sin again 
They'll take your money and your time friend
Till you die, Sinnerman

Well they don't know I'm from up north
Where the Devil lives in the pines
Where if you need him he'll meet you at midnight 
In the parking lot of that old Shop Rite

Sinnerman
Oh sin again
He wants your money and your soul friend
Oh you'll die, Sinnerman

Oh Sinnerman
Oh Sinnerman
He takes your money and your time friend
Sinnerman

Slow Burnin'
--------------------------------

Every morning messy bed
Wake up with the whole world one step ahead 
One step ahead
Big wheel turning stuck in line
Highway crew's on the overpass just keeping time
Just keeping time
Cause its a slow burning 
Its a slow burning

Stuck in the mirror haven't shaved in a week
Can't stand the shame just staring at me
Whats looking at me
Every evening every night
I beg my baby give me one more chance tonight 
I'll prove it this time
Cause baby its a slow burning 
Its a slow burning 

Midnight roll whiskey shot
I put all my money on black and I'm not walking home yet 
Im not going home now

You don't play the game your voice don't count
Like a wick without wax you'll fizzle out
You'll burn out
Well I'm still going I still carry the faith 
Maybe I still got some time to make my own way 
To make my own way 
Cause baby its a slow burning 
Now Its a slow burning

Miller Court Sessions

Slow Burnin'

Ink black sky unfurls above
Desert night is breaking up
It's 4am the music's loud
You're by my side we're driving south
We came back down the side of the ridge
And saw a muted sky as morning begins
We're on that Highway to Heaven

Six hours on the clock had passed
As we get up out the canyon and sink right into the grass
Sun beats down its daily curse
Relentless as wild horses pounding through the dirt
We came to a stop by paradise
Out where God let's you feel alive
On that Highway to Heaven

I know you're hungry to run free
Oh darling take your love and run with me
Out on the highway

Painted lines keep flying by
Sunset colors ignite and die
Pueblo ruins out on the plains
Keep telling of time's bitter game
The locals say the angels have come and gone
But you and me we'll keep driving on that
Highway to Heaven

Highway to Heaven 

Storm's forming in my city
Tear gas downtown
Sidewalk empty and bloody
Choppers coming down 
Cops got their orders
From the shadows they take their aim
At a generation that bought that promise
That justice could erase the pain
That justice could erase the pain 

Hate's in the heart of the country
Pushing blood round its veins
Man all it leaves is the broken and hungry
Looking for someone to blame
Families staring in silence
Friends gone like a passing gust 
Well tell me, friend, was it worth it
Leaving love to turn to rust
Leaving love to turn to rust 

Thunder's getting louder
Flood's rising up
I hear the mob right outside my window
Down here in the valley of rust 

They tell you this is the last fight 
They tell you this is how its gotta be
But you gave it all for what they called righteous
There's always one more till you're free
So come back my friend and drop it
Drop that hatred and that fear
Before it turns us all into orphans
Man with nowhere to go from here
Nowhere to go from here

Now all I'm set to inherit 
Is this red, white, and blue
Squandered by the trusted
Who thought they had nothing to lose
Yeah who thought they had nothing to lose

Thunder's getting louder
Flood's rising up
I hear the mob right outside my window
Down here in the valley of rust
