There are scars on the road
where we skidded and we swerved
We never made it far
but we got what we deserved
I don't need to be remembered
but don't want to be forgotten
Next time you see me I’ll still be
try na move this mountain
There are places you can hide
You can't hide from your own mind
Thoughts interspersed
Memories intertwined
A year feels like a week
A week feels like a year
Some days I drive the transport
Other days I am the deer
Sometimes I don't know
which one I'd rather be
the freedom of
not knowing whats in front of me
Instinct and survival
Crisp and cool mountain air
No logging miles and making plans
for which I do not care
No darkness no more x 3
oh,oh,wooooh oh etc.
don't hurry to your judgement
i won't hurry to my pain
save me the awkward smile
as you pretend to know my name
there was a time when i meant something
to someone in this town
but one day she stole my pickup
and she never turned around
won't bore you with my stories
we've covered all that ground
somewhere there is a place
for a begger just like me
no more beggin for a dollar
no more beggin to be seen
no darkness no more X 3
oh wowoh - Track Name: Tom Savage - Mercy Killing
-
This ain't no mercy killing
you oughta know by now
there'll be no more forgiving
we already tried that out
We aren't gonna make it easy
we're gonna take it nice and slow
gonna go down deeper
then you ever thought you could go
You've done your share of damage
Up and down the west coast
But you were too damn stupid
to know you should never boast
Word gets around
In the circles we keep
One day the shit won't stick
Next thing you know you're in waist deep
this ain't no mercy killing
but you oughta be thanking me
Cause I ain't by far
your worst enemy
this ain't no mercy killing - Track Name: Lunatic Baby

stark raving mad
i'm a lunatic baby
but you don't want to get
the wrong impression of me
I'm wanted in 49 and a half states baby
the only place that they don't want me is in southern tennessee
i was born into a low-budget hollywood movie
my daddy had a six-gun and he did what he pleased
my mama tried to raise me as best as she could
but her best wasn't good enough so you get what you see
we moved from town to town
Daddy'd get himself to workin
But then he'd end up robbing the local liquor store
One day he shot the store clerk
and he ended up in prison
Then all that was left
Was my poor Mama and me
My Daddy got the chair
My mama found religion
I found the keys to his pickup
An '89 Ford
I rolled down the interstate
Lay waste to all that I saw
An angry little boy
My Mama's demon seed
Now you don't have to wonder
why i am the way i am
It's the cards that i was dealt
and that's how it's gotta be
once you step inside this truck
you're world's changed forever
Cause I don't let nobody
take nothin' from me
stark raving mad
i'm a lunatic baby
