Urban cowboys? Concrete-jungle desperados? Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Still, this talented fivesome has been known to get many a joint jumpin'. Sample a few choice cuts below and check back for live, "on-the-road" video footage and recordings in the days and weeks to come. |
Walkin' out of king city/ over diablo wash Think I'd open a vein /if I picked another crooknecked squash Smokin' my last drum /spittin' tobacco from my teeth Lookin' down the rows of green/ countin' every leafCHORUS:
Well the sun cuts straight through the San Joaquin Barefoot and bent a god so mean A rosary, a jute knife, a straw hat, a key A year of my life for a touch of a cool breeze [.wav|.au] El niño is blowin hot and dry/a diamondback was in the grass You and I had a dream/ but immigration changed all that Lookin' up into the blue/ flyin' with a red-tailed hawk Gonna find a sweeter life/ I'm tired of all this talk
CHORUS
Gonna lay my head on a rock in a stream Gonna float down the mighty sacramento to the sea Gonna ride on a sturgeons spiny back Well I'm tired of hearing about all the qualities I lack [.wav|.au]
When they met the world was free Of danger in-between the sheets He thought his love could overcome The nagging doubt she was no funFor years she was his little girl And off his tongue dripped shiny faux pearls When she finally held a real strand Her life was more than she could stand
CHORUS
Love sex and happiness Lost without the right address That tripping walk they took down the aisle Seemed Like walking the last mile Well, their hearts and minds were brave and true But Lord, that lonely bed was blue [.wav|.au] He wants the handcuffs and the merry widow black She wants hearts and flowers not a heart attack He has the need to treat her sweetly mean All she ever wanted was to be worshipped like an Egyptian Queen
CHORUS
She never acquired a taste for pain Or his penchant for the strange Sex doesn't always need a prop And sometimes stop just means stop
CHORUS
She looks so good I want to get down on my knees and cry. She'll never look at me and I know why. If I could only get the nerve to talk to her. If she could only see past this books cover Then I'd be with the most perfect girl in the world
The thing about looks you either have them or you don't Her first glance tells the story you can see she'll say no If there's only one way for us to be together It's gonna be in heaven forever Then I'll be with the most perfect girl in the world
CHORUS
The most perfect girl in the world is alone The loneliest man needs someone of his own I'll put my boot on the neck of fate Change the luck of the draw Cause an act of god to make her see through my flaws [.wav|.au] I'm getting tired of worshipping you from afar I have to touch, not just look at what you are Let me show you, show you that I can I'm just as good as any other man I need to be with the most perfect girl in the world
Sometimes death makes life so clear Other times times my life is just paranoia and fear The end for you is the start for me In your last breath you'll see what we can be Then I'll be with the most perfect girl in the world
CHORUS
Our fates are like two run away trains I'm the only one who can end your pain Something about the way your hair falls on your neck Makes me feel like I'm gonna break... forever
Long on faith, short on sense When you got the Spirit You can't help but be dense Jesus was a loving man But even lovers hate Come and get me lord Ôcause I can't waitEver since I was a boy I've been cryin' and praying to God Come and get your son You left in the modern world All those false prophets, saying their the man They can't say it the way my shotgun can
CHORUS
I'm a shotgun, shotgun messiah Shooting my way into the promised land I'm a shotgun, shotgun messiah Now the lions gonna lie down with the lamb Well the lord sure works in mysterious ways Pushing the world to the judgment day [.wav|.au] Waco is a dead dry town just like Bethlehem And the devil's after me just like he was him I got twenty kids standing by my side I'll tell you this, they won't take us alive
I can hear now god's secret plea And Gabriel's trumpet blowing reveille Texas guns and god, a holy tradition So praise the lord and pass the ammunition
CHORUS
From the bottom down to the top Fire cleanses a sinners soul some things only god knows and hell's just a burning hole
CHORUS
Do as I say not as I do Blind faith in me will keep you true Don't trust in any other man The one true god has the only plan
CHORUS
