LYRICS  

1. THE LINE

Late in the evening
I lose my mind
Early in the morning
When I'm walking the line
Hand me some sugar
Hand me that wine
Take me to heaven
I don't have much time

I'm under pressure
Ease my mind
Head under water
I don't have much time
Hand me some sugar
Hand me that wine
Go tell the devil
I been walking the line

West in Virginia
Down on my knees
I'll keep a begging
But I ain't begging for free
Hand me some water
Turn it to wine
Make like the Maker
Keep on walking the line

My hallelujah
Came and it went
Dead men walking
They don't pay the rent
Lend me some sugar
Hand me that wine
Go tell the devil
I been walking the line

2. COLD HEARTED

Cold hearted woman, where did you go
I know you're waiting where your daddy done told
Cold-hearted devil, I hear the storm
I felt the heat on the day I was born

Cold-hearted woman, I know you cry
I know you're waiting on the devil's side

Cold-hearted woman, where did you go
I know you're waiting on the killing room floor
Cold-hearted devil, I see the storm
I felt the heat on the day I was born

Cold-hearted woman, I know you cry
I know you're waiting on the devil's side
Cold-hearted woman, I know you cry
I know you're waiting on the day I die

3. ONE SHOT

Mama done told me, son, don't play with guns
Do right by God or be on the run
She said hold tight and don't go messing around
Only takes one shot to take a good man down

Papa done told me, son, don't kill that man
Don't want no blood on your Christian hands
He said hold tight till the Sheriff's back in town
When he spoke to me, laid my ear to the ground

Brother done told me, kid, don't be like him
Serving twenty years in a old state pen
He said hold tight till Sheriff's back in town
Only takes one shot to take a good man down

Mama done told me, son, don't play with guns
Do right by God or stay on the run
She said hold tight, heard the Sheriff's back in town
Only takes one shot to take a good man down

Devil came to me with a plan
You ride shotgun, I'll drive the van
I said hold tight, think Sheriff's back in town
Only heard one shot before I hit the ground
Only takes one shot to take a good man down

4.  SUGARCANE

Sometimes the sunrise
Is calling out my name
Sometimes the moonlight
Is peeling back the pain

Sometimes the fire
Sometimes it seeps into the veins
Don't need no preacher
Come on give me some sugarcane

Out on the highway
Red eyes in the rain
Smoke in the rear view
The devil's on a chain

Sometimes the fire
Sometimes it seeps into the veins
Don't need no preacher
Come on give me some sugarcane

Sound of the sadness
A taste of the fame
Another empty bottle
And some pocket change
There's no hallelujahs
Crying out my name
Just an empty bottle
And some pocket change

Sometimes the fire
Sometimes it seeps into the veins
I don't need a reason
Come on give me some sugarcane
Come on

5. WORKING MAN

I'm a working man
I break my hands in the sand
Ain't got no money, no plan
But I'm a working man

I'm a wandering man
Town to town and land to land
Ain't got no home and no plan
But I'm a working man
Come on

I'm a broken man
Dirt, blood and sweat on my hands
Ain't got no love and no plan
But I'm a working man
Come on

I'm a working man
I break my hands in the sand
Ain't got no money, no plan
But I'm a working man

6. VIRGINIA

Hey Virginia
What you got
My heart is racing
My engine is hot
Carolina
What you need
I'm on my way
From Tennessee

And your cold wind blows thru me
And it breaks this heart from my sleeve
Til I'm begging on my knees

Goodnight Texas
You're such a tease
I been up all night
Playing for free
Goodbye Georgia
I'm getting tired of
Fighting wars
Like a gun for hire

And your cold wind blows thru me
And it breaks this heart from my sleeve
Til I'm begging on my knees
And your cold wind blows thru me
And it breaks this heart from my sleeve
Til I'm begging on my knees

Hey Virginia
Don't lose your faith
You're where I'll rest
On my dying day

7. GOOD MAN

Down in the valley
Out in God's land
Ain't nothin' but bad blood, baby
But I'm a good man

Preacher tried to warn me
Bless 'em if you can
I was born on the bad side, baby
But I'm a good man
I'm a good man

Mama read the Bible
Papa hid in the sand
I was born in bad blood, baby
But I'm a good man

And I took my shotgun
In my right hand
When I met the devil, I told him that
I'm a good man
I'm a good man

Down in the valley
Out in God's land
Ain't nothin' but bad blood, baby
But I'm a good man

Preacher tried to save me
Bless 'em if you can
I was born on the bad side, baby
But I'm a good man
I'm a good man
I'm a good man

8. HIT IT WHILE IT'S HOT

I was born on a Tuesday
By Friday night I was dancing in the rain
I been looking for a new way
But the trouble was I couldn't remember my name

Hit it while it's hot boy
Kick it while it's cold
Write another song that you won't ever hear on the radio

I had a lover on my mind
And a guitar in my hand
I was thinking about the good times
And the bad times I didn't plan

Hit it while it's hot boy
Kick it while it's cold
Write another song that you won't ever hear on the radio

I was sitting on the back porch
I was dreaming I was stoned
I ain't one for keeping score
So if you have to ask you can do it on your own

Hit it while it's hot boy
Kick it while it's cold
Write another song that you won't ever hear on the radio

I've never been on the Billboards
I've never been in Rolling Stone
I'm still here on the back porch
And if you have to ask I'm still doing it on my own

Hit it while it's hot boy
Kick it while it's cold
Write another song that you won't ever hear on the radio
Hit it while it's hot boy
Kick it while it's cold
Write another song that you won't ever hear on the radio
Hit it while it's hot boy
Kick it while it's cold
Hit it while it's hot boy

9. COLT 45

My lover left me for some stranger's bed
Like some western romance with a gun to my head

My legs ain't working
Mhmm
My hands are tied
Mhmm
Please pull that trigger of my Colt 45

I went out looking for some angel of death
I wore my black boots and my Sunday best
Found me a graveyard where I could lay my head
Like you laid that stranger in my cold, cold bed

My legs ain't working
Mhmm
My hands are tied
Mhmm
Please pull that trigger of my Colt 45

My cabinet's empty and my last bottle's dry
Drank it with demons on a holy night
Found myself in some stranger's bed
Like some western romance with a gun to my head

My legs ain't working
Mhmm
My hands are tied
Mhmm
Please pull that trigger of my Colt 45

My head is spinning like the wheels of my car
My heart is thirsty like the drunks at this bar
Found myself in some stranger's bed
Like some western romance with a gun to my head

My legs ain't working
Mhmm
My hands are tied
Mhmm
Please pull that trigger of my Colt 45
My legs ain't working
Mhmm
My hands are tied
Mhmm
Please pull that trigger of my Colt 45

10. IS IT YOU

Head above water am I going down
Heart feeling heavy like I'm gonna drown

Is it you that I'm looking for
Is it you knocking at my door
Is it you that I've seen before
Keep on looking, looking, looking
Keep on looking, looking, looking

My love ain't broken it hangs like the moon
Falling in circles, looking half full

Is it you that I'm looking for
Is it you knocking at my door
Is it you that I've seen before
Is it you that I'm looking for
Keep on looking, looking, looking
Keep on looking, looking, looking
Keep on looking, looking, looking
Keep on looking, looking, looking

My heart's on fire if you're feeling cold
The door is wide open if you wanna go

Is it you that I'm looking for
Is it you knocking at my door
Is it you that I've seen before
Is it you that I'm looking for
Keep on looking, looking, looking
Keep on looking, looking, looking
Keep on looking, looking, looking
Keep on looking, looking, looking
Keep on looking, looking, looking
Keep on looking, looking, looking

11. IN THE WAIT

Well I, I been waiting on a love to calm my ways
Guessin' I'll keep on waiting on nothing to come my way

In the morning, I'll be with you
By the evening, I've gone stray
Guessin' I'll keep on walking in circles for all my days

Well, goodbye, my sweet lover
Gotta get moving on down them tracks
'Cause there ain't no moving on
If there ain't no turning back

Well I, I been waiting on a love to calm my ways
Guessin' I'll keep on waiting on nothing to come my way

12. WHEN IT GETS DARK

I ain't ever gonna sell my soul
The devil comes, please let him know
It gets dark on this road
When I'm walking alone
I ain't ever gonna sell my soul

Ain't no money in this world for me
Ain't no money in this world for free
It gets dark in this hole
When I'm digging alone
Ain't no money in this world for me

Ain't nobody in this world to hold
I find love then it lets me go
It gets dark in this room
When I'm dancing alone
Ain't nobody in this world to hold

I ain't never gonna sell my soul
The devil comes, please let him know
It gets dark on this road
When I'm walking alone
I ain't never gonna sell my soul

Ain't nobody gonna die for me
I ain't blind but it's hard to see
It gets dark in this room
When I'm down on my knees
Ain't nobody gonna die for me
