Songs that need to be Sung

Updated: Apr 28, 2020

The Father

You know who I am

I travel through space,

you know my name

never seen my face,

I knew your father

what a good man,

read from the bible

good book in his hand,

oh’ not for your mother

no that wasn't true,

Drank till her eighties

drugs tainted her youth,

Oh’ I know the sons

that you've never had,

and all of the women

that they will drive mad,

Some call me the future

but I am the past,

and as life moves on,

I just sit here and laugh,

As I watch behind

this broken glass,

I've seen monuments rise

and the men they fall.

The statues they crumble

while the legends stand tall.

Immortals come over

once they are called.

Some think it's a portion

but I have seen it all.

Nightmares last too long

But in daydreams, you climb the wall.

The hate never dies

but the love wins the brawl.

We've changed before

From something so small.

I see time from the front to the back

Yes, I am the future,

but I am also the past,

and as life moves on,

I just sit here and laugh,

as I watch behind

this broken glass.

Some call me the future,

but I am the past.

And as you move on

I just sit here and laugh.

as I watch behind

this broken glass.

Colt 45 and a 45 Colt

I got a colt 45 and a 45 colt

Laughing at life, it ain't no joke

Finger on the trigger

Barrel down my throat

Headful of drink,

lungs full of smoke

I got a colt 45 and a 45 colt

staring up at the sun,

I ain't got no hope,

shooting at stars

I ain't got no dope

God damn mother fuckers,

I got a colt 45, and a 45 colt,

I got a pocketful of misery

I got a handful of pills

Sold the shirt off my back

and automobile

been beaten bruised and almost killed.

Bottle to my head and I shoot at will

I got a pistol in my hand,

and I shoot to thrill

The wild turkey flies off the shelf

Walkin’ Johny n’ Pendleton

The only guy who wants to talk about mental health.

Sit here acting as I know

Sit here just to take it slow

Sit here like it wasn’t long ago

Sit here acting like it wouldn’t show

Sit here and play me off my brother

So I can sit here and take another

Blaze’n

The legend sits outside on the porch in the sun

Always on the lookout, he’s always on the run

Load on his back and he’s already half spun

Lights another cigarette and loads his gun

Night falls and he trades the six shots for six strings

He wrote the songs the legends would sing

Walked out the door for my songs for my glory and my mistake

I bet it’s another three bottles before my heart begins to break

The stars burn for themselves, then they flicker and die

And the legend is remembered all throughout time

Headlight band and the cowboy hat

New guitar from a pawn shop just like that

He had a long beard and a longer wrap sheet

Been kicked outta three bars just this week

Drinking like this was considered antique

A strong man you could tell was weak

Walked out the door for my songs for my glory and my mistake

I bet it’s another three bottles before my heart begins to break

But the stars burn for themselves, then they flicker and die

And the legend is remembered all throughout time

Remember my partner and forget my name

Forget the man I was, just remember who I became

Tell Haggard I missed him, and Willie the same

Forget the man I was, just remember who I became

But don’t take long

Intro

She just wanted to get by

Ended up just trying to survive

And all she got, in the end, was high

She asked me how not to do it again

I said, “Well after you find new friends”

Don't let a cowboy make the coffee

Don't let the Hippie load your bowl

And don't let a lover say "you to get off me"

Keep it this way and make it till your old

Ignore societies expectations

Follow their words and gather only damnation

Take your time

But don't take long

Let your voice be heard

Just don't sing that song

Go and find yourself

Just don't take long

Talk about your problems

Open up to anybody and shine like a gem

Just don't talk to yourself to solve them

If they do something bad

Kick em while they're down,

Kill their life if you can,

We don't need people who have learned around
