I can’t believe what you did to me Underneath the shade of your wishin’ tree You wished for another and prayed I was gone I’ll find my way out… so long. Two whiskeys - neat, two beers, barkeep and two more for the road I’m drinkin’ myself to death tonight so I can haunt some souls Emily, you never liked me much when I was still alive Live with my ghost forevermore long after I’ve done died Now I’ve drank the poison I’ve done the deed I’ll meet my maker Beneath the wishin’ tree Too late to go back I wonder why I couldn’t make you love me but I tried Two whiskeys - neat, two beers, barkeep and five more for the road I’m drinkin’ myself to death tonight so I can haunt some souls Emily you never prized me much when I was by your side I hope your days are filled with tears that cloud your pretty eyes Sweet purgatory where I now dwell Just east of Needles Just south of hell She broke my heart! I’ll torture her soul My spectre calls her... forevermore Two whiskeys - neat, two beers, barkeep and eight more for the road I’m drinkin’ myself to death tonight so I can haunt some souls Emily you never loved me much when I was still around Too late to make amends now that I’m six feet underground

Dressed to impress but I'm never around I have a habit of letting everyone down I am the king of losing touch I wasn't there to lend a helping hand So I have no right left to speak as a friend Too little too late to make amends Never was too cool for school Not smart enough to even play the fool Friends I had I treated bad I have become one rueful man Boxed up my feelings in a frame of steel And let my pride take hold of the wheel I shut my door and hit the lights I cut the cord and left at night Lost part of my mind on I-55 It was gone for good when I hit the Texas state line Jet rides twice a year can’t make it up We fought like young men often do We said some things you can’t take back I was too stiff necked to give an inch

I used to have a thing for allison claymore Before she got kicked in the face by her horse Red hair flowing blowing kisses from the trees She acted like she liked me but I know it was a tease Why did she torture me? I was just seventeen… I watched her ride into town/paint the town More times than I could count She was the freest spirit I ever did see But now she's underground Allison loved her whiskey, more than she loved any guy She was an angry drunk when she had too much, She liked to fight and cuss and fuck and drink more rye It ain't fair I don't see why She's buried with the worms while I'm still alive

Hey Jolene 03:05
You make it hard hard to love you You make it hard to show how much I care You make it hard hard to stay sober Sometimes, you like… to make me cry I'm so tired of paying off your dealers And pawning all I own to post your bail I love you but your luck won't last forever And when it's gone the reaper waits for you Each day it gets harder to protect you When the sheriff and the priest both want you dead Living fast and dying young's attractive But I'll get stuck with the bill to dig your grave

No Sanctuary 02:13
So I scouted ahead to find a friendly place Where we can spend the night and keep our horses safe But what I saw scared the hell out of me We best keep movin’ on, no sanctuary Speakin’ in tongues, and standin’ in line To get a good view of the hangman’s crime Flyin’ a flag you don’t want to see We best keep movin’ on, no sanctuary Cause I don’t wanna die in this backwards town We’d better hit the county line before the sun goes down It’s a brave new world, It’s a strange frontier But the people scare me more than the wildlife here They might hang you for the color of your skin They might burn her at the stake for “the wages of sin” With a bible and a beastly grin They might drown me for a faith that I can’t believe in Repent of your sins and turn the other cheek” Slogans that they shout while they prey on the weak We’ve seen this before, it ain’t justice they seek We best keep movin’ on, no sanctuary Keep movin' on… No sanctuary

Palm Springs is burning and nobody cares Zombies roam freely while smoke fills the air Burning the date palms and crashing their cars Mindless hordes fill the night clubs and bars Fly away o'er the mountains toward the light of day Snowbirds and bath salts are a terrible mix They’re burning the storefronts in search of their fix Hipsters and seniors unite for a feast They’re hungry for brains as they travel Southeast Cathedral City's burning and nobody cares! The National Guard gave up and left in a tear Indio's flattened, and DHS too Rancho Mirage will soon be brain stew Sail away...in search of the light of day Thermal is burning, Imperial Valley is next When they cut off our food supply we'll all starve to death So load all the guns and take what you can We’ll hole up in Mecca to make our last stand If we can’t kill the zombies, last chance is to flee It’s better to drown in the Salton Sea Then suffer the bites and turn undead Cannablistic and fucked in the head Run away...before the colors fade to gray NEWSFLASH! Las Vegas. Following the catastrophic zombification of the Coachella Valley, California residents have ventured North seeking refuge. Moving through and past an irradiated Southern Nevada, they trek onward to the abandoned Yucca Mountain nuclear storage facility, only to be greeted by the dual calamities of re-animated alien corpses from Area 51, and atomic blasts initiated by the United States federal government, now leaderless and desperate to quell the undead uprising. Due to the escalating nature of this regional emergency, the governors of California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah and New Mexico are advising all residents to do the only action which can stifle this zombie apocalypse - Duck and Cover!

Long Arm 04:09
I've been a lawman now for north of 40 years. I've seen some things and done some things that bring grown men to tears. Death is on my doorstep, he gets closer every day. Before he catches me I swear I'll put you in your grave It don't scare me. I've been around. You want to test me? I'll cut you down! Just like the film this ain't no country for old men. Keep running from the law, you'll find a country for the dead. don't care bout jurisdiction or crossin’ county lines One way or the next you're gonna answer for your crimes I don't like it It's just a grind Too old to change things I bide my time I beg the lord’s forgiveness, to show me toward the light But to catch this killer outlaw, I might need the devil’s might I do what I do so someone else won't have to. Before I’m underground I’ll try my best to set things right My wife don't even know me, I'm always on the road Even when I'm off the clock, I spend my time alone Don't quite know what to tell her, afraid of what I'll say Drink all night and sleep a few, then back into the frey When you look right through me, do you see a broken man? A bottle and a shot glass, seem to be my only friends Tell me I've not lost my way I feel farther from God most every day The miles fly by, and I want to cry (2nd time: die) I don’t want to believe what this world has done to me I feel empty My soul is tired I'll meet my maker Eyes open wide He was mean bastard Called himself Ranchero Supreme Even though he drove a Plymouth Duster I can still see that green paint gleam!
