Devil In A Sleeping Bag by Willie Nelson

S.G. (pyramids point to ancient dreams)

Gotta Get Out

~verse
They say the sky's the limit but there's footprints on the moon
All these dreams that I'm having will be coming to me soon
There's no reason to think any different I've known it all along
Not being arrogant but confident and take my place up with the stars
There's nothing that can stop me now I've got this in the bag

~chorus
But I didn't hear the sound of the gun go click
In the pitch black and now its like I'm on the run

~verse
I drove my way down through Mexico stopped at every single bar
I lived out on the pueblo did what I had just to survive
Met a sweet young farmer girl but you know she weren't no fool
All she did was let me meet her dad messed around and bought a mule
So I'm headed back towards the border I've got nothing more to lose

~chorus
All that's left of this life I don't want
You can keep it cause I don't give a fuck

~bridge
Cause all this life we're living is nothing but one big lie
We run around in a daydream yet let our dreams pass us by
Busy with all you can't change it neglects the stuff that you can
Nurture the things you can change and not the things that you can't 

~chorus
All that's left of this life I don't want
You can keep it cause I don't give a fuck

~verse
Well I went down to the graveyard and I fell down on my knees
I said Lord what you're doing could ya hurry up please
Cause I'm through with all this hurtin there's no life left in me
I've lived too much already I've seen all there is to see
All those dreams they are too fuzzy they mean nothing more to me

~chorus
All that's left of this life I don't want 
You can keep it cause I'm done trying my luck

Trying My Luck

~preverse
I'll give you 1 fuck 2 shits and a half a damn
To tell your story to me
This courts in session you better sit down
Show some respect to me
Oops there went that half a damn
Best start convincing me

~verse
I had somewhere to be today
I was caught on the wrong side of a fake id
I was with some friends we didn't have no car
We're from a small town but it's kind of far
We got left on the side of the road
They said there's a town up ahead and that's all that we know
So we got to stepping and we've got this far
Now here you is and here we are

~chorus
I don't give 1 fuck 2 shits or half a damn
What you're saying to me
We'll take you downtown and sort this out
Make sure we make some money

~verse
I was driving home from work one night
The longest shift that I've had in my life
I didn't notice that the light had turned
I thought it was yellow and the next thing I heard
Was the sound of a siren with red lights and blue
I hadn't been drinking I swear I'm not lying to you 
He took me to jail and only gave me one call
Now here I am and here you are

~chorus
I don't give 1 fuck 2 shits or half a damn
What you're saying to me
We'll take you downtown and sort this out
Make sure we make some money

~bridge
Nobody's got any time to figure it out
Everybody's scared they'd rather shoot first than bother with words
It makes me wanna shout and wonder what the hell this life is really about
We might just never know but that don't mean we can't keep trying to figure it out

~chorus
I don't give 1 fuck 2 shits or half a damn
What you're saying to me
We'll take you downtown and sort this out
Make sure we make some money

Drifting

Rainy Day Dream Away (Jimi Hendrix cover)

~verse
Its simple really
How this story go
This songs been sung
A million times before
The heart wants what it wants
That's one thing for sure
But this life we lead
It's all just a show
Wish I could say it all gets better
But that's what heaven's for

~lift
That's why we search through this life
For signs dropped from the sky
Work your whole life long
For a piece of the pie

~refrain
It's hard not to be fearful of this life
When every step seems to be do or die
Embarrassed that you failed
When you should be proud that you tried

~verse
I look to my friends for help thru this mess
But in their eyes I see that they are lost like myself
There's got to be some reason for this pain that we're in
When will we all learn that love first comes from within
We desperately all need something to put our faith in

~lift
That's why we search through this life
For signs dropped from the sky
Work your whole life long
For a piece of the pie

~refrain
It's hard not to be fearful of this life
When every step seems to be do or die
Embarrassed that you failed
When you should be proud that you tried

Untitled #4

~verse
I wonder all the time
About this life and if we'll all be fine
But I see that
It's might not meant to be and
Sometimes seems
To be no compromise
All the lies
Pile up to the sky
There's no pie
Up there when we die
All this time
We lose because we're shy

~chorus
This door is open for you

~verse
This web we weave we try
To supply with lies and alibi's 
For the times
We don't know what to try
To make things stop
When they get out of line
Before it drops
And shatters at the spine
Cuz when it's gone
There's just no other rhyme
Maybe not
It depends upon your mind

~chorus
This door is open for you

~bridge
This worlds so hard to deal with
You just don't know what to do with it

~chorus
This door is open for you

Anytime
