For everything that's wrong there is a worried man
There is a reason why
We just don't understand but will, you got to keep the faith
Be patient oh the past is just a memory and heal.
Heal your vines you'll heal inside eventually
We Were born into a light
We were born a light
We were born into a light
For everyone alone I wish you faith and hope
And all the strength to cope
To be your own best friend have confidence and keep the faith
Be patient oh the past is just a memory and heal
Heal your vines you'll heal inside eventually
We were born into a light
We were born into a light
We were born a light
We were born into a light
The Lights, The Lights....
Not the lights
Go Easy - ryan adams
I watch the evening grow old
And I watch the sun grow tired
Collapsing into the meadowlands
Funny how I still hear that voice
Sometimes it's like it's so loud
I only hear a ringing sound
If only to say this to you now
I love you still and I always will
If only to say this to myself
I will always love you
I will always love you
So go easy on yourself
Go easy
Go easy
You would like those flowers on the hills
And the sunlight in the fall even the coyotes call
Funny how my mind counts each day
By the times I've thought of you
Funny how the numbers sway
If only to say this to you now
I love you still and I always will
If only to say this to myself
I will always love you
I will always love you
So go easy on yourself
Go easy
Go easy
Go easy
Go easy
Gotta go, gotta now
Gotta go, gotta now
Gotta go, gotta now
Gotta go, gotta now
Gotta go, gotta now
Gotta go, gotta now
Gotta go, gotta now
And I watch the sun grow tired
Collapsing into the meadowlands
Funny how I still hear that voice
Sometimes it's like it's so loud
I only hear a ringing sound
If only to say this to you now
I love you still and I always will
If only to say this to myself
I will always love you
I will always love you
So go easy on yourself
Go easy
Go easy
You would like those flowers on the hills
And the sunlight in the fall even the coyotes call
Funny how my mind counts each day
By the times I've thought of you
Funny how the numbers sway
If only to say this to you now
I love you still and I always will
If only to say this to myself
I will always love you
I will always love you
So go easy on yourself
Go easy
Go easy
Go easy
Go easy
Gotta go, gotta now
Gotta go, gotta now
Gotta go, gotta now
Gotta go, gotta now
Gotta go, gotta now
Gotta go, gotta now
Gotta go, gotta now
Fix It - ryan adams
What makes them walk away, after all these years?
These years of learning in the hard way
By the lessons from the tears
I know it's not a game
But it feels like losing when someone
You love throws you away
I'd fix it, I'd fix it
I'd fix it, I'd fix it if I could
And I'd always win, I'd always win
I always win the in end
How easy was it for you making those plans you made?
Before I became something for you
You know to try to dislocate
But, I know it's not a game
But if feels like losing when someone
You love throws you away
I'd fix it, I'd fix it
I'd fix it, I'd fix it if I could
And I'd always win, I'd always win
And you'd always lose
Look what I did to you, look what you did to me
Fixed it, fix it
I'd fix it if I could
And I'd always win, I'd always win
I'd always win in the end
These years of learning in the hard way
By the lessons from the tears
I know it's not a game
But it feels like losing when someone
You love throws you away
I'd fix it, I'd fix it
I'd fix it, I'd fix it if I could
And I'd always win, I'd always win
I always win the in end
How easy was it for you making those plans you made?
Before I became something for you
You know to try to dislocate
But, I know it's not a game
But if feels like losing when someone
You love throws you away
I'd fix it, I'd fix it
I'd fix it, I'd fix it if I could
And I'd always win, I'd always win

Look what I did to you, look what you did to me
Fixed it, fix it
I'd fix it if I could
And I'd always win, I'd always win
I'd always win in the end
Magick - ryan adams
You're like a rain cloud
If it rained mushroom clouds
Everybody hits the ground
Arms folded, head down
You're like a missile strike
Government goes underground
Warhead on legs
What goes around comes around
Goes around comes around
What goes around comes around
Goes around comes around
What goes around comes around
What goes around comes around
So turn the radio on
So turn the radio up
So turn the radio up loud and get down
Let your body move
Let your body sway
Listen to the music play
It's magick
It's magick
You're like a storm tower if it had fire power
Everything you touch burns
Scorched earth
Water tower burned up to the ground
Zombies runnin' all around
Eventually we hit the mall
And knock it down at nightfall
So turn the radio on
So turn the radio up
So turn the radio up loud and get down
Let you body move
Let you body sway
Listen the music play
It's magick
I wish I had secret powers
I'd burn all the power up
??
And shut 'em down
Give them radios and ?
Wake them up with jams
Right after I disappear
In this song, this song, this song
Watch the record go round
Listen to the magick, magick, magick
Listen to the magick and watch the record go round
Listen to the magick, magick, magick
Listen to the magick and watch the record go round
What goes around comes around
Because what comes around goes around
If it rained mushroom clouds
Everybody hits the ground
Arms folded, head down
You're like a missile strike
Government goes underground
Warhead on legs
What goes around comes around
Goes around comes around
What goes around comes around
Goes around comes around
What goes around comes around
What goes around comes around
So turn the radio on
So turn the radio up
So turn the radio up loud and get down
Let your body move
Let your body sway
Listen to the music play
It's magick
It's magick
You're like a storm tower if it had fire power
Everything you touch burns
Scorched earth
Water tower burned up to the ground
Zombies runnin' all around
Eventually we hit the mall
And knock it down at nightfall
So turn the radio on
So turn the radio up
So turn the radio up loud and get down
Let you body move
Let you body sway
Listen the music play

Let Us Down Easy - ryan adams
In all my life, Mercy
Hasn't known my name this well
Like how every sea filters out
And leads us gently to a creek
We sit around
Some of us are strong
But the rest of us are weak
So let us down
But if you must
Let us down easy lord
Let us down easy lord
Let us down
In patches of pink clouds, Thick smoke
It comes rising off the hillside slopes
Down here this neighbourhood
It's just the dumps
With cars iced up, perfect for writing on if
You're wearing gloves
Every season i spend alone
Feels like a thousand in my heart and soul
So let me down if you must, But let us down
Easy lord, Let us down easy
Lord if you let us down
Instead of praying i tell god these jokes he must
Be tired of himself so much he must be more
Than disappointed christmas comes we eat alone
A pretty smile surrounds a pretty girl who
Takes your order she yells it and cries alone in
The backroom once in a while until it stops
So let her down easy if you must
But let her down easy
Some of us are strong
But te rest of us are weak
And go it alone
So let us down easy if you must
But let us down easy, Lord
Let us down easy lord, Let us down
Let us down, Easy
Hasn't known my name this well
Like how every sea filters out
And leads us gently to a creek
We sit around
Some of us are strong
But the rest of us are weak
So let us down
But if you must
Let us down easy lord
Let us down easy lord
Let us down
In patches of pink clouds, Thick smoke
It comes rising off the hillside slopes
Down here this neighbourhood
It's just the dumps
With cars iced up, perfect for writing on if
You're wearing gloves
Every season i spend alone
Feels like a thousand in my heart and soul
So let me down if you must, But let us down
Easy lord, Let us down easy
Lord if you let us down
Instead of praying i tell god these jokes he must
Be tired of himself so much he must be more
Than disappointed christmas comes we eat alone
A pretty smile surrounds a pretty girl who
Takes your order she yells it and cries alone in
The backroom once in a while until it stops
So let her down easy if you must
But let her down easy
Some of us are strong
But te rest of us are weak
And go it alone
So let us down easy if you must
But let us down easy, Lord
Let us down easy lord, Let us down
Let us down, Easy
Cobwebs - ryan adams
Somewhere impossible light still shines and every smile is as if new
Sometimes I feel like the static in the attic is making me just confused
If I fall will you catch me?
If I'm sorry, sorry enough
If I fall will you pity me?
Will you confuse my love for the cobwebs?
Confuse my love for the cobwebs?
I always pause if I can on fifth avenue look uptown with my head in the stars
Somewhere the buildings give way to sunlight give way to east and west central park
If I fall will you catch me?
If I'm sorry, sorry enough
If I fall will you pity me?
Will you confuse my love for the cobwebs?
Will you confuse my love for the cobwebs?
For the cobwebs?
Will you confuse my love for the cobwebs?
Confuse my love for the cobwebs?
Confuse my love for the cobwebs?
Confuse my love for the cobwebs?
Confuse my love for the cobwebs?
Confuse my love for the cobwebs?
Confuse my love for the cobwebs?
Confuse my love for the cobwebs?
For the cobwebs?

Crossed Out Name - ryan adams
Orange sky don't go
Manhattan looks like someplace else
Cloudy with a low fog shelf
Into the crowded streets I go
Eventually they lead me back home where we used to live
I live alone
And into bed I go
I wish I could tell you just how I felt
I don't pray I shower and say goodnight to myself
And when I close my eyes
I feel like a page..
..with a crossed-out name.
with a crossed-out name.
I kiss her mouth and I know
For everything there is a word,
For everything but this.
I like the dresses, the shoes, and the clothes.
And everything you know that goes
With loving a girl, I suppose.
I wish I could tell you just how Im hurt
Pinpoint the location its in another universe
when I close my eyes
I see a fire so plain
..and my crossed-out name
I see a crossed-out name
I see a crossed-out name
I see a crossed-out name
I see your crossed-out name
Manhattan looks like someplace else
Cloudy with a low fog shelf
Into the crowded streets I go
Eventually they lead me back home where we used to live
I live alone
And into bed I go
I wish I could tell you just how I felt
I don't pray I shower and say goodnight to myself

Natural Ghost - ryan adams
Well I was waitin' around for somebody to die
Nobody did but a part of me died I suppose from all that waiting
These things they pass in time but the moments get real and it's hard sometimes
I think of someone that I'd like to be and I hold that in my mind
But there's always tonight, tonight
And you, you make me feel like I'm here when I'm not
And it, it makes me feel like I'm not here
You, you make me feel like I'm not here
But I am, I am more than you think I am
Take a picture of your life for a second now freeze it and look at the screen
What parts of you were daydreams, illusions, and other things
These things they pass in time but the moments are real and it's hard sometimes
Keep the faith, keep moving in time to the music rolling in your mind,
And when you stay home tonight it can become your home
You, you make feel like I'm here when I'm not here
And it, it makes me feel like I'm not here
You, you make me feel like I'm not here
And I am, I am more than you think I am
I am, I am more than you think I am
You make me feel like a natural ghost
You make me feel like a natural ghost
You make me feel like a natural ghost
You make me feel like a natural ghost
Nobody did but a part of me died I suppose from all that waiting
These things they pass in time but the moments get real and it's hard sometimes
I think of someone that I'd like to be and I hold that in my mind
But there's always tonight, tonight
And you, you make me feel like I'm here when I'm not
And it, it makes me feel like I'm not here
You, you make me feel like I'm not here
But I am, I am more than you think I am
Take a picture of your life for a second now freeze it and look at the screen
What parts of you were daydreams, illusions, and other things
These things they pass in time but the moments are real and it's hard sometimes
Keep the faith, keep moving in time to the music rolling in your mind,
And when you stay home tonight it can become your home
You, you make feel like I'm here when I'm not here
And it, it makes me feel like I'm not here
You, you make me feel like I'm not here
And I am, I am more than you think I am
I am, I am more than you think I am
You make me feel like a natural ghost
You make me feel like a natural ghost
You make me feel like a natural ghost
You make me feel like a natural ghost
Evergreen - ryan adams
Red shoes go sailing through the trees
Leaving no traces at all
Not even a scattering of leaves
Reflections are only your memories
Evergreen lay down beside me
Evergreen, Evergreen
Evergreen make me feel whole again
Help me undo these chains my love
Evergreen never says nothing that's mean
Evergreen, Evergreen my love my love
It might be easy to judge all that kindness
If you had grown accustomed to a darkness in a life
But certainly any room with a view of other windows must have doors that you can use
So that you can be happy for the first time in your life
Hey man it's your destiny
You can stop by anytime
And maybe you'll find someone to lay some roots down next to you
Be more like the trees and less like the clouds stop movin' around so much
Evergreen lay down beside me
Evergreen, Evergreen
Evergreen make me feel whole again
Help me undo these chains my love
Evergreen lay down beside me
Evergreen, Evergreen
Evergreen make me feel whole again
Help me undo these chains my love
Evergreen never says nothing that's mean
Evergreen, Evergreen my love my love
I miss my Evergreen
Evergreen, Evergreen
Evergreen, Evergreen
My love
Leaving no traces at all
Not even a scattering of leaves
Reflections are only your memories
Evergreen lay down beside me
Evergreen, Evergreen
Evergreen make me feel whole again
Help me undo these chains my love
Evergreen never says nothing that's mean
Evergreen, Evergreen my love my love
It might be easy to judge all that kindness
If you had grown accustomed to a darkness in a life
But certainly any room with a view of other windows must have doors that you can use
So that you can be happy for the first time in your life
Hey man it's your destiny
You can stop by anytime
And maybe you'll find someone to lay some roots down next to you
Be more like the trees and less like the clouds stop movin' around so much
Evergreen lay down beside me
Evergreen, Evergreen
Evergreen make me feel whole again
Help me undo these chains my love
Evergreen lay down beside me
Evergreen, Evergreen
Evergreen make me feel whole again
Help me undo these chains my love
Evergreen never says nothing that's mean
Evergreen, Evergreen my love my love
I miss my Evergreen
Evergreen, Evergreen

My love
Like Yesterday - ryan adams
I'm just staring at the moon like it was yesterday
Hmm, see my face reflected in the lights on the window in the window pane
Trees outside are still I take a sleeping pill and feel a little less pain
You're just sittin' in the sun watching the boats roll by
Boats chained to the pier
In the window boat there's a picture of a family younger in their years
Well, I saw our time come
And I saw our time go like a fog in the lights
Out on the blackening ocean side
Oo, it doesn't feel like yesterday
Oo, it doesn't feel like yesterday
Oo, it doesn't feel like yesterday
Oo, it doesn't feel like yesterday
But it's yesterday
Oh, like yesterday
Hmm, see my face reflected in the lights on the window in the window pane
Trees outside are still I take a sleeping pill and feel a little less pain
You're just sittin' in the sun watching the boats roll by
Boats chained to the pier
In the window boat there's a picture of a family younger in their years
Well, I saw our time come
And I saw our time go like a fog in the lights
Out on the blackening ocean side
Oo, it doesn't feel like yesterday
Oo, it doesn't feel like yesterday
Oo, it doesn't feel like yesterday
Oo, it doesn't feel like yesterday
But it's yesterday
Oh, like yesterday
Stop - ryan adams
I know a sickness
So ancient and cross
No crucifix
Could ever fix enough
In the basement of a church
These people, they talk
There is a line
That must be walked
If you wanna make it stop
Then stop
I know a place
Where the future is denied
I know a hand
That twitches inside
For some of us the glass
Is filled with lights
But if the honey
Makes you sick
Honey, there is a line
That must be walked
If you wanna make it stop
Then stop
Stop
Slow down
You don't have to talk
Lie down
Breathe
Stop
Slow down
It's not your fault
Look around
There's so many of us
So many of us
You are not alone
Ever
Ever
Ever
Stop
Call in the backup and the backup comes
Nobody can help you if you won't
Inside your chest your heart is just hurt
Behind your eyes a need replaced a want
I know a sickness so ancient and cross
A crucifix can never fix enough
I know a past when the future is lost
I know a line that must be walked
There is a darkness and there is a light
And there is a choice.
For a balance to be made every night
A weakness must be found
If you want it to stop
Stop
Stop
So ancient and cross
No crucifix
Could ever fix enough
In the basement of a church
These people, they talk
There is a line
That must be walked
If you wanna make it stop
Then stop
I know a place
Where the future is denied
I know a hand
That twitches inside
For some of us the glass
Is filled with lights
But if the honey
Makes you sick
Honey, there is a line
That must be walked
If you wanna make it stop
Then stop
Stop
Slow down
You don't have to talk
Lie down
Breathe
Stop
Slow down
It's not your fault
Look around
There's so many of us
So many of us
You are not alone
Ever
Ever
Ever
Stop
Call in the backup and the backup comes
Nobody can help you if you won't
Inside your chest your heart is just hurt
Behind your eyes a need replaced a want
I know a sickness so ancient and cross
A crucifix can never fix enough
I know a past when the future is lost
I know a line that must be walked
There is a darkness and there is a light
And there is a choice.
For a balance to be made every night
A weakness must be found
If you want it to stop
Stop
Stop

Goodnight Rose - ryan adams
We're going to win
Put your troubles behind you
And go on to bed
Let go of the worry
There's so much nobody understands
Don't live your life in such a hurry
Life goes by us all so fast
And the sun will come up again
And I will be here
If you get scared just hold my hand
Tomorrow is yours and who knows
Maybe we'll win the whole shabang
Goodnight Rose, goodnight, goodnight Rose
Good morning sunshine
A new day begins
And the hustle and bustle of the traffic greets you kindly,
I can tell because you're smiling
C'mon give 'em everything that the winning demands
Just one more ribbon Rose
Before the mantle place caves in
And the sun will come up again
And I will be here Rose
If you get scared just hold my hand
Get out of that dress
Go on to bed
The bar is closed...
Goodnight Rose, goodnight, goodnight Rose
Goodnight Rose, goodnight, goodnight Rose
Goodnight Rose, goodnight, goodnight Rose
Goodnight Rose, goodnight, goodnight Rose
Put your troubles behind you
And go on to bed
Let go of the worry

Life goes by us all so fast
And the sun will come up again

Two - ryan adams
If you take me back
Back to your place
I'll try not to bother you I promise
'Cause it's cold in here
And I wish it was hot
The sink's broke, it's leaking from the faucet
And i'm fractured from the fall
And i wanna go home
But it takes two when it used to take one
It takes two when it used to take only one
Well, my money's no good when i'm up to no good
No good ever comes from it, honest
I got a really good heart
I just can't catch a break
If i could i'd treat you like you wanted me to i promise
But i'm fractured from the fall
And i wanna go home
I'm fractured from the fall
And i wanna go home
But it takes two when it used to take one
It takes two when it used to take one
It takes two when it used to take one
It takes two when it used to take only one
Back to your place
I'll try not to bother you I promise
'Cause it's cold in here
And I wish it was hot
The sink's broke, it's leaking from the faucet
And i'm fractured from the fall
And i wanna go home
But it takes two when it used to take one
It takes two when it used to take only one

Everybody Knows - ryan adams
You come for me in the worst of places
You come for me, you come and try to take me home
I'm always in need and it's hard to be reciprocating
The fabric of our life gets torn
And everything's changing so how i am to know
How i'm going to hold on to you when i'm spinning out of control
You an i together
But only one of us in love
And everybody knows
He says her name, it echoes in my head like it was a canyon
He says her name, he says it and i know what's up
You come to me sometimes when i'm thinking like a cannonball shooting out a canyon
And i forget whatever it was i was thinking about
With everything changing how am i to know
How i'm going to hold on to you when i'm spinning out of control
With out and i together
But only one of us in love
And everybody knows
You come for me, you come and try to take me home
I'm always in need and it's hard to be reciprocating
The fabric of our life gets torn
And everything's changing so how i am to know
How i'm going to hold on to you when i'm spinning out of control
You an i together
But only one of us in love
And everybody knows
He says her name, it echoes in my head like it was a canyon
He says her name, he says it and i know what's up
You come to me sometimes when i'm thinking like a cannonball shooting out a canyon
And i forget whatever it was i was thinking about
With everything changing how am i to know
How i'm going to hold on to you when i'm spinning out of control
With out and i together
But only one of us in love
And everybody knows

Two Hearts - ryan adams
Here we go again
God, i listen but i'm not listening
Everything she says
You know i've heard it all before
So what if i have
It doesn't mean it isn't beautiful
And everyone needs company...
Once in a while
Two hearts, one of them will break
Like bad ideas on a beautiful day
Two figures moving thru the dark
Three words, is all it takes to break your heart in two
Every time she goes
I just pretend like it's not happening
And every time she comes
When she comes, oh god
So what if she's right
So what if she's so beautiful
Beautiful as that
Good for a laugh and too kind
Two hearts, one of them will break
Like bad ideas on a beautiful day
With no hands
This thing will steer itself thru the dark
Three words, is all it takes to break our heart in two
It's all it takes to break your heart in two
Three words
God, i listen but i'm not listening
Everything she says
You know i've heard it all before
So what if i have
It doesn't mean it isn't beautiful
And everyone needs company...
Once in a while
Two hearts, one of them will break
Like bad ideas on a beautiful day
Two figures moving thru the dark
Three words, is all it takes to break your heart in two
Every time she goes
I just pretend like it's not happening
And every time she comes
When she comes, oh god
So what if she's right
So what if she's so beautiful
Beautiful as that
Good for a laugh and too kind
Two hearts, one of them will break
Like bad ideas on a beautiful day
With no hands
This thing will steer itself thru the dark
Three words, is all it takes to break our heart in two
It's all it takes to break your heart in two
Three words
Tears Of Gold - ryan adams
One day we are young
And by the next one we are old
Despite the years
And tears of gold precede the rapture
Time has its way
With everyone in its path
She combs her hair
And tears of gold fall on the gray
Tears of gold
Tears of golden restraint
As evidence of the pain that we feel inside
Mary anne, settle down
Let's bring the band around "how 'bout"
And we'll sing you to heaven and back
Laura lee sets the food out on the table top for us
And when she asks mary anne to say grace
Mary anne settles down
Wiping tears of gold from her face
Where we are strong
By tomorrow we will grow weak and disappear
Our families will gather 'round to remember
Where we are flesh and blood
By the next one we are dust under the wheels
Without a love we're only ash in urns of silver
Tears of gold, tears of gold en restraint
As evidence of the pain that she feels
Tears of gold, tears of gold promise the rapture and heal the soul
Replacing tears of gold with music and laughter
Tears of gold, tears of gold
And by the next one we are old
Despite the years
And tears of gold precede the rapture
Time has its way
With everyone in its path
She combs her hair
And tears of gold fall on the gray
Tears of gold
Tears of golden restraint
As evidence of the pain that we feel inside
Mary anne, settle down
Let's bring the band around "how 'bout"
And we'll sing you to heaven and back
Laura lee sets the food out on the table top for us

As evidence of the pain that she feels
Tears of gold, tears of gold promise the rapture and heal the soul
Replacing tears of gold with music and laughter
Tears of gold, tears of gold
The Sun Also Sets - ryan adams
When you get the time
Sit down and write me a letter
When you're feeling better
Drop me a line
I wanna know how it all works out
I had a feeling we were fading out
I didn't know that people faded out so fast
And that people faded out
When there was love enough left to fix it
But, there it is
There it is, we are only one push from the nest
There it is, we are only one push from the nest.
There it is, the sun rises
But the sun sets, the sun also sets
When you get these feelings
Next time, next time
Oh, be sure
You're gonna tear someone apart
I wanna know how it all works out
I had a feeling we were fading out
I didn't know that people faded out
That people faded out so fast
I wanna show you what i've got inside
But you know those parts of me died
Just like that, they faded out
They faded out so fast
And there was love enough left to fix it
But, there it is
There it is, we are only one shove from the nest
There it is, we are only one argument from deaf
There it is, we are only one moment from death
There it is, we are only one push from the nest
There it is, there it is
There it is, we are only one push from the nest
There it is, we are only one moment from death
The sun rises
But the sun also sets, the sun sets, the sun also sets
Sit down and write me a letter
When you're feeling better
Drop me a line
I wanna know how it all works out
I had a feeling we were fading out
I didn't know that people faded out so fast
And that people faded out
When there was love enough left to fix it
But, there it is
There it is, we are only one push from the nest
There it is, we are only one push from the nest.
There it is, the sun rises
But the sun sets, the sun also sets
When you get these feelings
Next time, next time
Oh, be sure
You're gonna tear someone apart
I wanna know how it all works out
I had a feeling we were fading out
I didn't know that people faded out

Off Broadway - ryan adams
Hanging around broadway
And i think i saw your face
The cars speeding by me
Reminding me of us
Rats scurry from the gutter to their holes
All these people and they're trying to get home
And i don't know where that is anymore
I don't know where that is anymore
I don't know where that is anymore
I don't know where that is anymore
Used to be, off broadway
I miss your locket
And the things you kept inside
And i just can't stop it
It hasn't killed me yet but give it time
Shuffle down to the watering hole
I'm getting tired and i wanna go home
I don't know where that is anymore
I don't know where that is anymore
I don't know where that is anymore
I don't know where that is anymore
Used to be off broadway
Used to be off broadway
Used to be off broadway
Used to be off broadway
But i don't know where that is anymore
I don't know where that is anymore
I don't know where i live anymore

Rip Off - ryan adams
I can name the people i know that don't know themselves
Without talking to nobody
I can count to people i know that want to fix themselves
Without taking my hands out of my pockets
I make these promises but all my promises hurt
It's like they never get a lift off
So if i'm being honest with you and it seems like i'm being cruel
At least you didn't get a rip off, a rip off
And you'll know how i feel
I've got faith in you
And it's a little too late for "goodbyes"
Good morning, open your eyes
I can see the tears so long before they know your face
I can almost draw the lines
But when you smile it spins me like a ferris wheel
Washed out to sea in your eyes
I make these promises but all my promises hurt
It's like they never get a lift off
So if i'm being honest with you and i seems like i'm being cruel
At least you didn't get a rip off, a rip off, a rip off
And you'll know how i feel
Like a rip off, a rip off, a rip off
Without talking to nobody
I can count to people i know that want to fix themselves
Without taking my hands out of my pockets
I make these promises but all my promises hurt
It's like they never get a lift off

Oh My God, Whatever, Etc. - ryan adams
Something's beating on the wall on the other side
Strange lovers moan each others names on by-hour sheets for the very first time
One of them's james
The other's some name she changes every time she lies across his bed
But the light of the moon leads the way
Towards the morning and the sun
The sun's well on the way too soon to know and
Oh my god, whatever, etc.
If i could i'd fold myself away like a card table
A concertina or a murphy bed, i would
But i wasn't made that way so you know instead
I'm open all night and the customers come to stay
And everyone tips but not enough to knock me over
And "i'm so tired" i just worked two shifts
But the light of the moon leads the way towards the morning and the sun
The sun's well on it's way too soon to know and
Oh, oh my god, oh my god, whatever, etc.

Pearls On A String - ryan adams
Blue eyes for miles
Pretty as a peach
Glorious kind and always on the time never far out of reach
Tomorrow's on its way
And there's always new songs to sing
Glorious kind and always on time like pearls on a string
Soft precious and easy
Under the sea
If you dive down far enough to the bottom look around and you will see
Tomorrow's on its way
And there's always new songs to sing
Glorious kind and always on time, pearls on a string
Glorious kind and always on time, pearls on a string
Sun shining down
Children laugh and play
Glorious kind and always on time out there in the day
Tomorrow's on its way
And there's always new songs to sing
Glorious kind and always on time, pearls on a string
Pretty as a peach
Glorious kind and always on the time never far out of reach
Tomorrow's on its way

These Girls - ryan adams
Well, girl sometimes i feel just like a boy
Put here on this earth for you to toy around with
Like matchbox cars you buy and burn in your backyard
Like monsters underneath your bed you ain't afreaid of yet
But you let me in
And i feel alright
Yeah, i feel alright
The late night girls are anxious
And they're coming out to play
And i've been stranded on their doorstep for every night and day
I only want them more, it's so sad but when they smile
God, i've been had
I get hypnotized and i wanna go to bed
I used to pick up shells cast off the reef
One christmas i got a funeral and they handed me the receipt
How ever many lies i tell without my tongue
Get twisted into memories 'til i believe them some
And i toy with you
And you toy with me
Can you stop this please
God bless all the late night girls, and they're coming out to smile how can anybody feel bad
It makes me tired and i wanna go to bed
These are better off in my head
These girls are better off in my head
These girls are better off in my head
These girls
Put here on this earth for you to toy around with
Like matchbox cars you buy and burn in your backyard
Like monsters underneath your bed you ain't afreaid of yet

29 - ryan adams
I was a poor little kid in the lungs of new York
Just like a motherless son of a bitch
Loaded on ephedrine looking for downers and coke
Like a sun that just wouldn't set out on the horizon
Singing and dancing to them nighttime songs
I took a train and came up from Carolina
I was looking for something to do
Nothing I found could ever quite occupy me
With nothing to gain there's always nothing to lose
Singing and dancing to them nighttime songs
Cry me a river till the morning comes
I should've died a hundred thousand times
Teetering stoned off the side of buildings
Nobody loved me and nobody even tried
You cant hang on to something that wont stop moving
Singing and dancing to them nighttime songs
I got arrested down south for hitting a clerk
I spit in his face, the bastard knocked me out
He leered at my lady and then he touched her face
Thank God she had the money to bail me out
Singing and dancing to them nighttime songs
Cry me a river till the morning comes
Bar room boogie just like in the movies
Go on put it to me shake it till the rattles come on
Take me where the morning don't come
I had a dog named Jet, when I was a kid
Until one day he wandered off and died
One night I went in the yard and dug him up
And he laid in the box just like a pile of bones
Singing and dancing to them nighttime songs
I used to get loaded and baby Id drive your car
It seemed like there was always a cop
Coming behind me and following close as they could
Eventually they'd just trail off
Loaded and cruising to them nighttime songs
Cry me a river till the morning comes
Bar room boogie just like in the movies
Go on put it to me shake it till the rattles come on
Take me where the morning don't come
I think I died a hundred thousand times
Mixing liquor with mystery pills
Mystery pills and heroin mixed into cocaine
Face down out on the riverside
Most of my friends are married and making them babies
To most of them I already died
And whatever it is about you I've always hated
Is something about myself I just couldn't hide
And I'm going going baby I'm gone
So cry me a river to the other side of the morning
To where the morning don't come
To where the morning don't come
To where the morning don't come
Just like a motherless son of a bitch
Loaded on ephedrine looking for downers and coke
Like a sun that just wouldn't set out on the horizon
Singing and dancing to them nighttime songs
I took a train and came up from Carolina
I was looking for something to do
Nothing I found could ever quite occupy me
With nothing to gain there's always nothing to lose

Strawberry Wine - ryan adams
Last night in the street collapsed on itself
In fact, it broke right in two
And I fell in
The strawberry vines
Into a pool of strawberry wine
Strawberry wine and clouds
Burning in the desert, surrounded in flowers
But the stems broke the armor
And the morning comes
Until its all just the same things again
Oh god,
Don't spend too much time on the other side
Let the daylight in,
Before you get old and you cant break out of it
My old friend,
Cause its getting winter, and if you want any flowers
You gotta get your seeds in
And I worry about you, why? because you want me to
Can you still have any famous last words
If you're nobody somebody nobody knows,
I don't know
Somebody go and ask Clair
She's been dead twenty years just look at her hair
Strawberry blonde with curls
She gets hair done then she gossips
With the younger waitress girls at the bar
The old Irish rose
Drinking strawberry wine
Until it comes out her nose
She spent too much time on the other side,
And she forgot to let the daylight in
Before you get old you'd better break out of it
My old friend,
Cause its getting winter and if you want any flowers
You gotta get your seeds in to the ground,
And I worry about you,
Why because you want me too
This fella downtown, he jumped off a bridge
He was angry about a letter he received from his friend
He fell in
To the arms of the most beautiful girls
That have ever lived in the history of the world
And with nothing left to lose he got screwed
He sold his apartment before they made him move
Then he jumped straight in
To the san Francisco bay
Now he lives on Molly's farm
Picking berries all day
Don't spend too much time on the other side
Let the daylight in
Marty was a kid when he learned steal boats
His dad was a deejay on the radio
He fell in
To a life
Of riverboat crime
Now has the man you see in prison
If you want strawberry wine
Strawberry wine and smokes
He sent a letter to his friend
Explaining one night on coke
He and Clair
Jumped in to the strawberry vines
And lord knows you get lost
On that strawberry wine
Don't spend too much time on the other side,
Let the daylight in
And imp getting old and I gotta break out of it
My old friend,
Cause its getting winter and if I want any flowers
I gotta get those seeds in to the ground,
And if you worry about me
Don't bother
Why?
Ill be fine
Imp just sitting here laughing
Little old me and my
Strawberry wine
In fact, it broke right in two

Nightbirds - ryan adams
Out under the stars
Dodging them night cars baby
Cause when you gotta move, you gotta move
Whatever that it was
You were thinking of lady
You're certainly not thinking
Of it now,
And nightbirds sing you
And empty tune
In an empty house
In an empty room
In an empty moment
All the nightbirds sing
We were suppose to rise above
But we sink
I feel like a body stuffed into a trunk
From a million years
Of lying and getting drunk
The people here inside me
They are loud and in the night
They scream and smash the windows
And they fight
And nightbirds sing you
And empty tune
In an empty house
In an empty room
With an empty feelings
When it comes too soon
Were supposed to rise above
But we sink
Into the sea
Dodging them night cars baby
Cause when you gotta move, you gotta move
Whatever that it was
You were thinking of lady
You're certainly not thinking
Of it now,
And nightbirds sing you
And empty tune
In an empty house
In an empty room
In an empty moment
All the nightbirds sing
We were suppose to rise above
But we sink
I feel like a body stuffed into a trunk
From a million years
Of lying and getting drunk
The people here inside me
They are loud and in the night
They scream and smash the windows
And they fight
And nightbirds sing you
And empty tune
In an empty house
In an empty room
With an empty feelings
When it comes too soon
Were supposed to rise above
But we sink
Into the sea
Blue Sky Blues - ryan adams
Blue sky when you gonna learn to rain?
And let yourself go blue for once
And let go of the weight you've been carrying
In this house, no one goes to sleep for days,
Its like were working on a mountainside
Trying not to slide,
Into the ocean,
I can take care of you
But only if you want
Imp strong enough to carry you
Across the icy lake, across the icy lake
But I cant fight your blues,
Cause I know I'll lose
What's left of my mind
I cant win,
But for you I will try
My baby blue
My mountain is hidden in a pile of trees
And its the one I'll have to climb,
If I ever wanna see,
Over the ocean
Blue sky
When you gonna learn to rain?
And let yourself go blue for once
And let go of the pain?
I can take care of you
The way you'd like to feel
Underneath the riverbed
Across the icy lake, across the icy lake
But I cant fight your blues
Cause I know I'll lose
What's left of my mind
I cant win,
But for you I will try
For you
My baby blue
And let yourself go blue for once
And let go of the weight you've been carrying
In this house, no one goes to sleep for days,
Its like were working on a mountainside
Trying not to slide,
Into the ocean,
I can take care of you
But only if you want
Imp strong enough to carry you
Across the icy lake, across the icy lake
But I cant fight your blues,
Cause I know I'll lose
What's left of my mind
I cant win,
But for you I will try
My baby blue
My mountain is hidden in a pile of trees
And its the one I'll have to climb,

For you

Carolina Rain - ryan adams
Rose lived on the south side of town
Until her landlord showed up with two hundred dollar bills
A notice of eviction on the other hand
Now she don't live there no more,
And everyone thinks he drowned,
I pulled into Mecklenburg on them trains
Into a station that got flooded when they opened up the dam
And broke their connections to the railway lines
So they could blast into the quarry,
And for every load of granite,
We got a ton of worry
One night at the diner over eggs,
Over easy she showed me the length of her legs,
But that gold plated cross on her neck, it was real
And you don't get that kind of money from pushing meal
I should've told him that you were the one for me,
But I lied, But I lied,
To most any drifter whose looking for work is too weird
I met Percy and I married her in July
But if only to be closer to you, Caroline
Percy and I moved down the street
Until we lost two pretty girls
One was seven and one was three
Alderman and Caroline owned the house right up the hill
Where we laid those babies down
So they could still see our house
Suspicion got the best of old Alderman Haint
He owned an auto parts store off the interstate
But the lord took him home in July
And then Rose spilled the beans on the day that he died
I should've told him that you were the one for me
But I lied, But I lied
Tied up to concrete at the bottom of the quarry
With a tattoo on his heart that spelled out "Caroline"
He was silent but his rosary
Drifted into the custody
Of a sheriff that was just deputized
And I was down at the banquet hall
When two guys came up, pretty angry and drunk
And I'm still here at the banquet hall
At the banquet hall
Where the gun went off, in the Carolina Rain
In the Carolina Rain, in the Carolina Rain
Oh, Caroline
Until her landlord showed up with two hundred dollar bills
A notice of eviction on the other hand
Now she don't live there no more,
And everyone thinks he drowned,
I pulled into Mecklenburg on them trains
Into a station that got flooded when they opened up the dam
And broke their connections to the railway lines
So they could blast into the quarry,
And for every load of granite,
We got a ton of worry
One night at the diner over eggs,
Over easy she showed me the length of her legs,
But that gold plated cross on her neck, it was real
And you don't get that kind of money from pushing meal
I should've told him that you were the one for me,
But I lied, But I lied,
To most any drifter whose looking for work is too weird
I met Percy and I married her in July
But if only to be closer to you, Caroline
Percy and I moved down the street
Until we lost two pretty girls
One was seven and one was three

Oh, Caroline
Starlite Diner - ryan adams
It's midnight, at the Starlite Diner
You said meet me at a quarter to twelve
And I'm standing in the corner
Wishing you were here in my arms,
Fare thee well my old friends
Fare thee well
Is it possible to love someone too much
You bet
The drugs are in safe
And the clothes are on the couch, intertwined
But none of them are yours
And all of them are mine
So cry
Cry like a baby into an ocean of wishes
But it don't ever rain
On a street drenched with painted ladies
Fare thee well my old friends
Fare thee well
Have you ever slept it off to the bones
And woken up at night my love
Having dreamt you called them all
Every person you could never love
It's a blow out
On a birthday cake
And I'm a birthday candle
Floating on the lake
Where are you its getting late
Its midnight at the starlite diner
You said meet me at a corner to twelve
And I'm standing in the corner
Oh there you are
You said meet me at a quarter to twelve
And I'm standing in the corner
Wishing you were here in my arms,
Fare thee well my old friends
Fare thee well
Is it possible to love someone too much
You bet
The drugs are in safe
And the clothes are on the couch, intertwined
But none of them are yours
And all of them are mine
So cry
Cry like a baby into an ocean of wishes
But it don't ever rain
On a street drenched with painted ladies
Fare thee well my old friends
Fare thee well
Have you ever slept it off to the bones
And woken up at night my love
Having dreamt you called them all
Every person you could never love
It's a blow out
On a birthday cake
And I'm a birthday candle
Floating on the lake
Where are you its getting late
Its midnight at the starlite diner
You said meet me at a corner to twelve
And I'm standing in the corner
Oh there you are
The Sadness - ryan adams
The stars they sink
In the oceans of ink
Long black ribbons of cars
And in the taxi
You ask me how I'm doing
But you already know
Beyond, beyond is not through
Its only a reflection of you
And something at the window
It motions with its fingers
Calling me beyond
The sadness is mine
The sadness is mine
Its why you're not healing me
And whatever has come for me
Oh I can give you whatever you're wanting
Just take it and spare me spare me
Please oh tell me this is only a warning/no
Please have mercy let me go
If only a day to let her know
Without her love I'm nothing at all
The change is happening and I'm almost gone
In her heart is my faith
And it wins against the sadness
The train it moves through the desert
The horses they will challenge its stride
And into the boxcar she leaps
And is my hero
And penetrates the demons inside
The clouds they pass
But they're moving so fast
As I watch them collide
Collide and collapse in her arms like a newborn child
I am at one reborn
The fog in the mote
As he grabs me by the throat
It lifts as she comes
She opens her cloak and the color of blood
It is the sign of what now must come
Deny deny me my destiny
I am not ready to go
I am the horror that brings us to the morning
Where I will have to stand up and fight
In the oceans of ink
Long black ribbons of cars
And in the taxi
You ask me how I'm doing
But you already know
Beyond, beyond is not through
Its only a reflection of you
And something at the window
It motions with its fingers
Calling me beyond
The sadness is mine
The sadness is mine
Its why you're not healing me
And whatever has come for me
Oh I can give you whatever you're wanting
Just take it and spare me spare me
Please oh tell me this is only a warning/no
Please have mercy let me go
If only a day to let her know
Without her love I'm nothing at all

Where I will have to stand up and fight
Elizabeth, You Were Born To Play That Part - ryan adams
For you Id do anything
Tear myself in two
Just to hear you breathe
Calculate the changes that in time
Turn to nothing and then multiply
Yourself by pain,
And you're not even close Elizabeth
Over you I will never be,
I wish I knew why
It never comes to me,
I'm waiting for someone who just wont show
And every night it feels like there's no tomorrow
Not that you will ever know,
Where ever you are I hope you're happy now
I'm caught in a dream and I cant get out
I'm caught in a dream
I'm caught in an endless dream
And I'm not strong enough to let you go,
And I have tried everything
But that
Elizabeth
Tear myself in two
Just to hear you breathe
Calculate the changes that in time
Turn to nothing and then multiply
Yourself by pain,
And you're not even close Elizabeth
Over you I will never be,
I wish I knew why
It never comes to me,
I'm waiting for someone who just wont show
And every night it feels like there's no tomorrow
Not that you will ever know,
Where ever you are I hope you're happy now
I'm caught in a dream and I cant get out
I'm caught in a dream
I'm caught in an endless dream
And I'm not strong enough to let you go,
And I have tried everything
But that

Voices - ryan adams
You come through the door like a bag of rocks
Wounded all the time
And I'm inside the tomb with the t.v. on mute
Elijah don't you come
Oh god don't you come
I steal out the window like I'm using the door
Whispering willows outside
Turn into statues of you, fangs exposed
Breathing fire
Elijah don't you come
Oh god don't you come
Locate the coffin and procure the ring
I'll distract Gabriel
Its your destiny after all
Just go
And don't you ever look back
Kiss me again
And don't you listen to the voices in the past
They lied
When you see the lights don't you dare go in
Find your way back to the house
And the wind upon gate
When the gate swings
Back and forth
That's the sign
And we are never coming back
Once the signal is fired
When you're in the room I am under the bed
I am inside your soul
I cover your mouth
Hands just as ice
Screaming Elijah
Oh Elijah come down
Come and take your award
Locate the coffin and procure the ring
Ill distract Gabriel
Its your destiny after all
Just go
And don't you never look back
Kiss me again
And don't you listen to the voices in the past
They lied, run away from the light run away from the light
Little ones.
Wounded all the time
And I'm inside the tomb with the t.v. on mute
Elijah don't you come
Oh god don't you come
I steal out the window like I'm using the door

Elijah don't you come
Oh god don't you come

A Kiss Before I Go - ryan adams
The engine turns on a dime
But I ain't goin' nowhere, tonight
I ain't been goin' nowhere for quite awhile
Can't tell the truth in a house of lies
Can't explain what I don't know
One shot, one beer and a kiss before I go
One more kiss 'fore I go
One more night and day
Breath all heavy and slow
One shot, one beer and a kiss before I go
I'll miss those nights at the bar
With every girl all loaded like freights
And the pain in the morning comes as easy as it goes
Can't find the truth in a house of lies
And you can't see tomorrow with yesterday's eyes
One shot, one beer and a place where nobody cries
One more kiss 'fore I go
One more night and day
Breath all heavy and slow
One shot, one beer and a kiss before I go
But I ain't goin' nowhere, tonight
I ain't been goin' nowhere for quite awhile
Can't tell the truth in a house of lies
Can't explain what I don't know
One shot, one beer and a kiss before I go
One more kiss 'fore I go
One more night and day
Breath all heavy and slow
One shot, one beer and a kiss before I go
I'll miss those nights at the bar

And the pain in the morning comes as easy as it goes
Can't find the truth in a house of lies
And you can't see tomorrow with yesterday's eyes
One shot, one beer and a place where nobody cries
One more kiss 'fore I go
One more night and day
Breath all heavy and slow
One shot, one beer and a kiss before I go
The End - ryan adams
I don't know the sound of my father's voice
I don't even know how he says my name
But it plays out like a song on a jukebox in a bar
In the back of my head till it's weary and mushy
And in the cotton fields out by the house where I was born
The leaves burn like effigies of my kin
The trains run like snakes through Penacostal pine
Filled up with cotton and fine slow gin
Oh Jacksonville, how you burn in my soul
How you hold all my dreams captive
Jacksonville, how you play with my mind
Oh my heart goes back, suffocating on the pines
In Jacksonville
The End, The End, The End
All the cars are lined up on a Saturday night
With the sky full of nothing but moon
And I lose my reflection in the bottles of wine
Till the morning comes down and I ain't nothing but you
Now the diner in the morning for a plate of eggs
The waitress tries to give me change I say, "Nah, it's cool. Just keep it"
I read up my news, I start thinking about her
And I wonder if anybody here besides me has got any decent secrets
Oh Jacksonville, how you burn in my soul
How you hold all my dreams captive
Jackson-hell, how you play with my mind
Oh my heart goes back, suffocating on the pines
In Jacksonville
The End, The End, The End
I don't even know how he says my name
But it plays out like a song on a jukebox in a bar

Hard Way To Fall - ryan adams
See the rain on the street
The way the cars shine
And the scotch that she drinks
With her lips so fine
And her shoulders go weak
As she closes her eyes
Oh, my God, when she was mine
See how she moves through the door
How she loses her keys
How she loses her cool
Watching blackbirds scatter through the trees
How she flips from the back to the front
Reading magazines
Oh, my God, I miss those things
And it's a hard way to fall
And this ain't the easy way down
And it's a hard thing to love anyone, anyhow
So if it's gotta be you
Treat her nice
Hold her hand
And tell her twice
That she doesn't have to worry
And it will be alright
It's alright this time
It's alright this time
See her smiling at him?
That used to be me
I could find her in a thunderstorm
Just by the way that the rain would fall
And we used to be something
But somethin' happened to me
Oh, my God, when I was free
And it's a hard way to fall
And this ain't easy way down
And it's a hard thing to love anyone, anyhow
And it's a hard way to fall
And this ain't the easy way down
And it's a hard thing to love anyone, anyhow
The way the cars shine
And the scotch that she drinks
With her lips so fine
And her shoulders go weak
As she closes her eyes
Oh, my God, when she was mine
See how she moves through the door
How she loses her keys
How she loses her cool
Watching blackbirds scatter through the trees
How she flips from the back to the front

Oh, my God, I miss those things
And it's a hard way to fall
And this ain't the easy way down
And it's a hard thing to love anyone, anyhow

Dear John - ryan adams
I got a house full of walls
And utility bills, every Monday the company calls
I got a nice bed to sleep on
And a chest of drawers, where I keep those dreams of yours
Cause you're always mine to keep when you're gone
Two silvers rings, one's on my finger and the other one's gone
Went underground with you, oh John
Ten years pass
And I ended up with a house full of cats
But most of them went missing
Through that window you never fixed, the door you never latched
But you were on your way out the last time...
Cause you are always mine to keep when you're gone
Two silvers rings, one's on my finger and the other one's gone
Went underground with you, oh John
I knew what you were doing
That summer when Candie came around
But I had too much hurt to bother you
When we lost our first child I thought a little pain was overdue
And I wanted you so bad...
Cause you are always mine to keep when you're gone
Two silvers rings, one's on my finger and the other one's gone
Went underground with you, oh John
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you...
Oh John......

The Hardest Part - ryan adams
Pay my respect to the company store
I ain't got no money don't want no more
Pay my respects to the company boys
now just move along
I worked hard for every little bit I got
And got lucky once on some advice
Met a dark haired girl that the Mississippi moon
Musta left by mistake one night
In a hurry, Lord
And that ain't the hardest part
The hardest part is loving
Somebody that cares for you so much
Promises don't pay cash at the bank
If they did I'm bidding your word
They couldn't pay me for the time that it took to write a check
To buy a babydoll for my girl
And I worked hard for every little bit I got
The things I got are gonna stay
and it's been flooding so hard on them company mines
That you know it's gonna flood someday
And you're gonna miss someone
And that ain't the hardest part
The hardest part is loving somebody that cares for you
And that ain't the hardest part
The hardest part is working and I've worked enough
I could stretch that penny like a silver line
Rolling through the pages of my life
Underneath your name where it's underlined
I've been turned around
I've been mystified by a true love
And that ain't the hardest part
Talkin' bout a true love
And that ain't the hardest part
And that ain't the hardest part
And that ain't the hardest part
I ain't got no money don't want no more
Pay my respects to the company boys
now just move along
I worked hard for every little bit I got
And got lucky once on some advice
Met a dark haired girl that the Mississippi moon
Musta left by mistake one night

Games - ryan adams
You ain't but a fire on my sad estate
Burning my house to the ground
High and meadow, oh how she rides me
Out in the meadow where the taxis don't ride
A million times quicker than the pain
Ohhh, games
A million times better than the pain
You ain't but a telegram nobody's sendin'
Nobody sends me but you
High and mellow, slow and steady
Out in the meadow with you
A million times better than the pain
Ohhh, games
A million times better than the pain
Ohhh, games
Oooo, games
You ain't but a fire on my sad estate
Burning my house to the ground
Burning my house to the ground

Silver Bullets - ryan adams
I can't find the gun
It's only getting worse
So I get loaded up
On silver bullets
And I can't see the sun
I know it's gone away
I can't be the one
If you won't let me stay
So go draw yourself a bath
And find the kitchen drawer
Cause you can't make me smile
Anymore
And I can't see the sun
I know it's gone away
And I can't be the one
If you won't let me stay
So honey, go find the gun
I think it's in your purse
And get loaded up
With silver bullets
And I can't see the sun
I know it's gone away
And I can't be the one
You can't make me stay
It's only getting worse
So I get loaded up
On silver bullets
And I can't see the sun
I know it's gone away
I can't be the one
If you won't let me stay
So go draw yourself a bath
And find the kitchen drawer
Cause you can't make me smile

And I can't see the sun
I know it's gone away
And I can't be the one
If you won't let me stay
So honey, go find the gun
I think it's in your purse
And get loaded up
With silver bullets
And I can't see the sun
I know it's gone away
And I can't be the one
You can't make me stay
Peaceful Valley - ryan adams
Lord take me home
To the peaceful valley
Down the winding river
To your city your soul
I've grown so tired
And my hearts grown heavy
To walk any longer
To your cities of gold
All my life I've loved for forgiveness
But I can never seem to get enough
All my life I've been rocked into the darkness
With a gun to my head
Trying to find a peaceful song
Trying to find a peaceful song
To sing when everything goes wrong
Till the peaceful valley calls me home
Up there in the clouds
In that glorious kingdom
Tell me there ain't nothing but an easy recline
Can I still smoke my cigarettes and have my coffee
Up there in heaven with a bottle of wine
Cause all my life, I've longed for forgiveness
But I can never seem to get enough
All my life I've been rushed into the darkness
With a gun to my head
Trying to find a peaceful song
Trying to find a peaceful song
To sing when everything goes wrong
Till the peaceful valley calls me home
Oh take me home to the peaceful valley
Down the winding river
To your city or soul
To the peaceful valley
Down the winding river
To your city your soul
I've grown so tired
And my hearts grown heavy
To walk any longer
To your cities of gold
All my life I've loved for forgiveness
But I can never seem to get enough
All my life I've been rocked into the darkness
With a gun to my head
Trying to find a peaceful song
Trying to find a peaceful song
To sing when everything goes wrong

With a gun to my head
Trying to find a peaceful song
Trying to find a peaceful song
To sing when everything goes wrong
Till the peaceful valley calls me home
Oh take me home to the peaceful valley
Down the winding river
To your city or soul
September - ryan adams
Laura lays on the foot of the bed
Mimics a noose with a telephone cord
Doctor's on the phone
Then she hangs up and says
"I ain't never gonna see the winter again"
And I don't know how, but she smiles
September, September
September, September
They carved your name into the stone and then
they put it in the ground,
I run my fingers through the grooves
When no one's around
Drink till I am sick and
Then I talk to myself in the dog days of the summer
Then I feel you coming but I don't know how

My Heart Is Broken - ryan adams
My heart is broken
My love is gone
I lay without you
Your pillow cold
I am forsaken
I can't go on
My heart is broken
My love is gone
If I hadn't cheated
While you were gone
The well that we'd
Been drinking from
Wouldn't a dried
And turned cold
I am forsaken
I can't go on
My heart is broken
My love is gone
If I hadn't cheated
While you were gone
The well that we'd
Been drinking from
Wouldn't a dried
And turned cold
My days are empty
My nights are long
Five cups of coffee
For the years gone wrong
If I hadn't cheated
While you were gone
The well that we'd
Been drinking from
Wouldn't a dried
And turned cold
I am forsaken
I can't go on
My heart is broken
My love is gone
My love is gone
My love is gone
I lay without you
Your pillow cold
I am forsaken
I can't go on
My heart is broken
My love is gone
If I hadn't cheated
While you were gone
The well that we'd
Been drinking from
Wouldn't a dried
And turned cold
I am forsaken
I can't go on
My heart is broken
My love is gone
If I hadn't cheated
While you were gone
The well that we'd
Been drinking from
Wouldn't a dried
And turned cold
My days are empty
My nights are long
Five cups of coffee
For the years gone wrong
If I hadn't cheated
While you were gone
The well that we'd
Been drinking from
Wouldn't a dried
And turned cold
I am forsaken
I can't go on
My heart is broken
My love is gone
My love is gone
Trains - ryan adams
Trains moan in my sleep when I'm trying to go to bed
moving way to slow for whatever that they be carryin'
and I've been working hard ever since I was a kid
Trains moan in my sleep
Seems like something's always moving
Trains moan in my sleep when I'm trying to go to bed
Moving way to slow for whatever that they be carryin'
I've been working hard ever since I was a boy
Trains moan in my sleep
Seems like something is always moving
You know I don't always show
What it is I'm feeling baby doll
You know that the things that you want
Are that the things that you need
But the things that you love they're a lie
I'm gaining on them trains and fast
Trains moan in my sleep
Into the future and out of the past, into the future and out of the past
Trains moan in my head when I'm trying to go to sleep
Throwin' rocks at the window
When the sun's crawling up the sheets
And I've been working hard ever since I was a boy
Trains moan in my sleep
Gnawing on me like I was a chew toy
You know I don't always show
Whatever I'm feeling baby doll
You know that the things that you love
And the things that you want
Are the things that you want are a lie
I'm gaining on them trains and fast
Trains moan in my sleep

Pa - ryan adams
Pa drove to town yesterday to pick up a friend
He found the locker she lay in
He drove to old man Ed Somerton's place
To finally disappear
He got there round about twelve
And he stayed 'till three
And the sun left him down in the valley
But the moon met him up in the hills by the lake
Reflecting the (?)
Suppertime came and . . .
'Sis answered it
'Sis left his food on his plate
At the end of the table right next to mom's place
But nobody'd sit
Telephone rang about six
I answered it
I felt the news through the floorboards
Like a long Southern bone (?), like a wreck on the
lake (?)
Like a joint (?)
Sh-lalalalalalala

So I drove to town yesterday
To pick up his bed
I found the locker he lay in

Withering Heights - ryan adams
I can be taught but I'm not learning
Over and over I lose
I make mistakes, get so sorry
I can't unwind like yarn from a spool
I'm a little shaky gotta learn how to fight
The moon shines on the boulevard baby let's ride
If you gotta look back, don't look down
Our love went cold and turned to ice
It's hard to see the ground
From the withering heights
From the withering heights
I can go on, but I won't bore you
Lucky in life, not in love
I make mistakes like anybody
Anyone foolish to love me that much
I'm a little shaky gotta learn how to fight
The moon shines on the boulevard, baby let's ride
If you gotta look back, don't look down
Our love went cold and turned to ice
It's hard to see the ground
From the withering heights
From the withering heights
From the withering heights
From the withering heights

Over and over I lose

Don't Fail Me Now - ryan adams
Oh gal, oh gal, with your darkened eyes

Drown me with water and burn me with fire

Why you do me wrong when the rope gets tight?
When the rope gets tight

Oh day, oh night, oh darkened light
Drown me with water and burn me with fire
And don't fail me know
Oh Mary, oh mother of all that is near
Lead me to freedom from my kingdom of fear
And don't fail me now
Just don't fail me now
You don't do me right
You don't do me right
Why you do me wrong when the rope gets tight?

Magnolia Mountain - ryan adams
I want to go to Magnolia Mountain
And lay my weary head down
Down on the rocks
On the mountain my savior made
Steady my soul and ease my worry
Hold me when I rattle like a hummingbird hummin'
Tie me to the rocks on the mountain my savior made
Lie to me
Sing me a song
Sing me a song until the morning comes
If the morning comes, will you lie to me
Will you take me to your bed
Will you lay me down
Till I'm heavy like the rocks on the riverbed
That my savior made
I want to be the bluebird singing
Singing to the roses in her yard
The roses in her yard her father grew for her
It's been raining that Tennessee honey
So long I got too heavy to fly
Ain't no bluebird ever gets too heavy to sing
Lie to me
Sing me a song
Sing me a song until the morning comes
And if the morning don't come, will you lie to me
Will you take me to your bed
Will you lay me down
Till I'm heavy like the rocks in the riverbed
That my savior made
We burned the cotton fields down in the valley
And ended up with nothing but scars
The scars became the lessons that we gave to our children after the war
But there ain't nothing but the truth up on the Magnolia Mountain
Where nobody ever dies
Steady your soul and ease your worry
They got a room for you
Lie to me like I lie to you
Calm me down until the morning comes
And if the morning don't come
Lie to me
Will you take me to your bed
Will you lay me down
All heavy like the rocks in the riverbed
That my savior made
For us
And lay my weary head down
Down on the rocks
On the mountain my savior made
Steady my soul and ease my worry
Hold me when I rattle like a hummingbird hummin'
Tie me to the rocks on the mountain my savior made
Lie to me
Sing me a song
Sing me a song until the morning comes
If the morning comes, will you lie to me
Will you take me to your bed
Will you lay me down
Till I'm heavy like the rocks on the riverbed
That my savior made
I want to be the bluebird singing
Singing to the roses in her yard
The roses in her yard her father grew for her
It's been raining that Tennessee honey
So long I got too heavy to fly
Ain't no bluebird ever gets too heavy to sing
Lie to me
Sing me a song
Sing me a song until the morning comes
And if the morning don't come, will you lie to me
Will you take me to your bed
Will you lay me down
Till I'm heavy like the rocks in the riverbed
That my savior made
We burned the cotton fields down in the valley
And ended up with nothing but scars
The scars became the lessons that we gave to our children after the war
But there ain't nothing but the truth up on the Magnolia Mountain

And if the morning don't come

Sweet Illusions - ryan adams
Let me go I'm only letting you down
I 've got nothing to say to you now
I lose the feelings that are weighing me down
When I'm safe
It's turning morning all the birds sing
I'm not complicating anything
I'll have another then I'll go to bed
But I'll dream of you
Cause it's almost over
And it's almost gone
And I can feel the sweet illusion, coming
Sweet confusion, honey
Sweet illusion coming down
And I ain't got nothing but love for you now
You and I used to shine like a jewel
But times been nothing to us but cruel
So play it out and never played the fool
Cause you'll lose every time
We were nothing, we were only the past
Hard times like that don't last
I've been forgiven, I've been surpassed
By my heart
Have you?
Cause it's almost over
Yeah it's almost gone
And I can feel the Sweet Illusion coming
Sweet Confusion, honey
Sweet Illusion coming down
And I ain't got nothing but love for you
Love for you I can't use
And lonely nights multiplied by the blues
That I can't resolve
You never knew me but I did my best
I'm just lonely inside I guess
You gave me everything you really tried
Thanks....
If we were nothing and we're only the past
Then I'm just living in a dream I guess
A long black dream that takes me down the river to you
Where it's almost over
And we're almost gone
And I can feel the Sweet Illusion coming
Sweet Confusion, honey
Sweet Illusion coming down
And I ain't got nothing but love for you now
I 've got nothing to say to you now
I lose the feelings that are weighing me down
When I'm safe
It's turning morning all the birds sing
I'm not complicating anything
I'll have another then I'll go to bed
But I'll dream of you
Cause it's almost over
And it's almost gone
And I can feel the sweet illusion, coming
Sweet confusion, honey
Sweet illusion coming down
And I ain't got nothing but love for you now
You and I used to shine like a jewel
But times been nothing to us but cruel
So play it out and never played the fool
Cause you'll lose every time
We were nothing, we were only the past
Hard times like that don't last
I've been forgiven, I've been surpassed
By my heart
Have you?
Cause it's almost over
Yeah it's almost gone
And I can feel the Sweet Illusion coming
Sweet Confusion, honey

Meadowlake Street - ryan adams
There's something about you
That reminds me of all those times
When I wasn't sorry, when I wasn't blue
The cherry moon it shone down on us
Under the stars shining down every one for you
If I could count them all
I would circle the moon
And count 'em back to nothing
Till I got to you
Something in you dies, when it's over
Everybody cries sometimes
If loving you's a dream
That's not worth having
Then why do I dream of you?
I used to be the house that you lived in
Down on Meadowlake Street
When you moved they cut down the maple tree
I carved your name into
The tree became a boat, I christened it your name
And when the water turned to salt
From your tears it hit the bottom of the ocean
Where I go when I hear your name
And I sink like a stone
Something in you dies, when it's over
Everybody cries sometimes
If loving you's a dream
That's not worth having
Then why do I dream of you?
Why do I dream of you
i feel like a dream that's not having
Like a nervous joke ain't nobody laughing
Like somebody with nothing 'cause they don't know
What they're wanting
Tiny like the sand in the cracks of drift wood
Washed up on the shore of an ocean of you
Boats out on the horizon
Made of the maple tree where we used to lie down
On Meadowlake Street counting the stars you and I
You and I
Something in you dies when it's over
Everybody cries sometimes
If loving you's a dream that's not worth having
Then why do I dream of you
Why do I dream of you
Why
That reminds me of all those times
When I wasn't sorry, when I wasn't blue
The cherry moon it shone down on us
Under the stars shining down every one for you
If I could count them all
I would circle the moon
And count 'em back to nothing
Till I got to you
Something in you dies, when it's over
Everybody cries sometimes
If loving you's a dream

When Will You Come Back Home? - ryan adams
There's something in the way she eases my mind
And lays me across the bed till I close my eyes
Stirs me in the morning till I can ever be satisfied
I leave Carolina every night in my dreams
Like the girls that try to love me that I only leave
Rock me like a baby doll and hold me to your chest
But I'm always moving too fast
If I could find my way back home, where would I go?
When everything about me, I used to be,
Shivers in the sheets and the blankets of snow
Lost out in the woods were you're looking for me
When, when will you come back home
No one leave the lights on in a house
Where nobody lives anymore
Loaded like the boxes up in the bedroom
Coming off the hinges like the door
The shadows dancing up in the window
They're not who we are but who we were
And I'm not gonna break, but if I do
I'm gonna shatter like the glass I turned your heart into
I'm broken like the windos in the house where I used to live
And If I could find my way back home, where would I go?
When everything about me, I used to be,
Shivers in the sheets and the blankets of snow
I'm lost out in the woods looking for you
When, when will you come back home
No one leave the lights on in a house
Where nobody lives anymore
Everything about me you liked is already gone
Everything about me you loved is gone
When, when will you come back home
And lays me across the bed till I close my eyes
Stirs me in the morning till I can ever be satisfied
I leave Carolina every night in my dreams
Like the girls that try to love me that I only leave
Rock me like a baby doll and hold me to your chest
But I'm always moving too fast
If I could find my way back home, where would I go?
When everything about me, I used to be,
Shivers in the sheets and the blankets of snow
Lost out in the woods were you're looking for me
When, when will you come back home
No one leave the lights on in a house
Where nobody lives anymore
Loaded like the boxes up in the bedroom
Coming off the hinges like the door
The shadows dancing up in the window
They're not who we are but who we were
And I'm not gonna break, but if I do
I'm gonna shatter like the glass I turned your heart into
I'm broken like the windos in the house where I used to live
And If I could find my way back home, where would I go?
When everything about me, I used to be,
Shivers in the sheets and the blankets of snow
I'm lost out in the woods looking for you
When, when will you come back home
No one leave the lights on in a house
Where nobody lives anymore
Everything about me you liked is already gone
Everything about me you loved is gone
When, when will you come back home
Beautiful Sorta - ryan adams
ll I wanna do is get up, is get up, is get up
In the morning in the morning
And not wanna die
I feel alright when I think about you
Walking through a star field covered in lights
Wasted like you're losing your job you're so fired
We're just like the ones we used to make fun of
It's beautiful sorta, beautiful sorta
Beautiful sorta, but not
Beautiful sorta, beautiful sorta
Beautiful sorta, but not
All I wanna do is get down, is get down, is get down
In the evening, in the evening
And not wanna die
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
I'm buzzing like a jar full of lightening bugs
Walking through a star field covered in lights
Wasted like a bum with somebody's wallet
Pictures inside of you and me, you and I
So far past sad I'm crazy and scary
It's Beautiful Sorta, Beautiful Sorta
Beautiful Sorta, but not
In the morning in the morning
And not wanna die
I feel alright when I think about you
Walking through a star field covered in lights
Wasted like you're losing your job you're so fired
We're just like the ones we used to make fun of
It's beautiful sorta, beautiful sorta
Beautiful sorta, but not
Beautiful sorta, beautiful sorta
Beautiful sorta, but not
All I wanna do is get down, is get down, is get down
In the evening, in the evening
And not wanna die
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
I'm buzzing like a jar full of lightening bugs
Walking through a star field covered in lights
Wasted like a bum with somebody's wallet
Pictures inside of you and me, you and I
So far past sad I'm crazy and scary
It's Beautiful Sorta, Beautiful Sorta
Beautiful Sorta, but not
Now That You're Gone - ryan adams
I ain't afraid of hurt
I've had so much it feels just like normal to me now
I'm alone and I'm dancin', with you now, in your old room, in your old house
I'm alone and I'm dancin', with you now, in your old room, but there's nobody there
Now that your gone
Now that your gone for good
Everything you ever touched is undisturbed and hangs out
Like crime scene evidence undisturbed in dust
I don't dare touch anything because it's evidence of us
And it means everything
Well sort of
I'm alone and I'm dancin', with you now, in your old room, in your old house
I'm alone and I'm dancin', with you now, in your old room, but there's nobody there
Now that your gone
Now that your gone for good
I'm alone and I'm dancing with you now
In your old room but there's nobody there
Now that your gone
Now that your gone for good
Gone
I've had so much it feels just like normal to me now
I'm alone and I'm dancin', with you now, in your old room, in your old house
I'm alone and I'm dancin', with you now, in your old room, but there's nobody there
Now that your gone
Now that your gone for good
Everything you ever touched is undisturbed and hangs out
Like crime scene evidence undisturbed in dust
I don't dare touch anything because it's evidence of us
And it means everything
Well sort of
I'm alone and I'm dancin', with you now, in your old room, in your old house
I'm alone and I'm dancin', with you now, in your old room, but there's nobody there
Now that your gone
Now that your gone for good
I'm alone and I'm dancing with you now
In your old room but there's nobody there
Now that your gone
Now that your gone for good
Gone
Cherry Lane - ryan adams
Every night I read this novel about you
Holding roses in the pouring rain
But the ending's tore up, trying to hail a cab
Think no one can read you, but I can
Well we move into a house down on Cherry Lane
And watch the world go by
Am I'm missing a page
I wanna be the one who walks you home
Who walks you home tonight
Staring into her eyes and then try and explain it
But it's written in a language that was meant to fuck you up
And I can never get close enough
But I lie
But I lie down on her pillow
And you feel like you was going away
Going away when you got no place to go
But back in her arms lying on her pillow
Curled up with a book down on Cherry Lane
The glass it hits the floor and you're walking away
But I wanna be the one who walks you home
Who walks you home anyway
Stare into her eyes and then try to explain it
Try to explain it away
I wanna be the one who walks you home
Who walks you home tonight
Stare into her eyes and then try to explain it
Try to explain it away
But that shit just fucks you up
And I can never get close enough
I can never get close
I can never get close enough
I can never get close enough to you
Holding roses in the pouring rain
But the ending's tore up, trying to hail a cab
Think no one can read you, but I can
Well we move into a house down on Cherry Lane
And watch the world go by
Am I'm missing a page
I wanna be the one who walks you home
Who walks you home tonight
Staring into her eyes and then try and explain it
But it's written in a language that was meant to fuck you up
And I can never get close enough
But I lie
But I lie down on her pillow
And you feel like you was going away
Going away when you got no place to go
But back in her arms lying on her pillow
Curled up with a book down on Cherry Lane
The glass it hits the floor and you're walking away
But I wanna be the one who walks you home
Who walks you home anyway
Stare into her eyes and then try to explain it
Try to explain it away
I wanna be the one who walks you home
Who walks you home tonight
Stare into her eyes and then try to explain it
Try to explain it away
But that shit just fucks you up
And I can never get close enough
I can never get close
I can never get close enough
I can never get close enough to you
Mockingbird - ryan adams
Mockingbirds sing
Sing me what the Lord was singing
On the day He made the water
The color of the blues
Sing me that song
Sing me to till the heavens rising
On the day He made the water
The color of my baby's eyes
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
Love her in the ways she wants to be loved
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
But the way I'm loving her
It must not be enough
Cause in the way she cries
It only tears me up
I feel dead inside and dying
And if you give up
Don't give up on love
Don't give up on love
The rivers they run
They run until they get too tired
Until they run behind the houses
And they become a creek
When I was a child
I ran until the creek became a river
When it turned into the ocean
I wondered why He'd made it so deep
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
But the way I'm loving her
Must not be enough
Cause the way she cries
It only tears me up
I feel dead inside and dying
Don't give up
Cause in a way she's crying
It only tears me up
I feel dead inside and dying
Give up
Don't give up on love
Don't give up on love
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
Sometimes it ain't enough
Sometimes it ain't enough
But don't give up on love
Sing me what the Lord was singing
On the day He made the water
The color of the blues
Sing me that song
Sing me to till the heavens rising
On the day He made the water
The color of my baby's eyes
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
Love her in the ways she wants to be loved
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
But the way I'm loving her
It must not be enough
Cause in the way she cries
It only tears me up
I feel dead inside and dying
And if you give up
Don't give up on love
Don't give up on love
The rivers they run
They run until they get too tired
Until they run behind the houses
And they become a creek
When I was a child
I ran until the creek became a river
When it turned into the ocean
I wondered why He'd made it so deep
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
But the way I'm loving her
Must not be enough
Cause the way she cries
It only tears me up
I feel dead inside and dying
Don't give up
Cause in a way she's crying
It only tears me up
I feel dead inside and dying
Give up
Don't give up on love
Don't give up on love
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
Sometimes it ain't enough
Sometimes it ain't enough
But don't give up on love
How Do You Keep Love Alive? - ryan adams
Lord, I miss that girl
On the day we met the sun was shining down
Down on the valley
Riddled with horses running
Crushing them with flowers
I would have picked for her
On the day she was born
She runs through my veins like a long black river
And rattles my cage like a thunderstorm
Oh my soul
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
What does it mean to be so sad?
When someone you love
Someone you love is supposed to make you happy
What do you do
How do you keep love alive?
When it won't
What, what are the words
They use when they know it's over
"We need to talk," or
"I'm confused, maybe later you can come over"
I would've held your mother's hand
On the day you was born
She runs through my veins
Like a long black river and rattles my cage
Like a thunderstorm
Oh, my soul
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
What does it mean to be so sad?
When someone you love
Someone you love is supposed to make you happy
What do you do
How do you keep love alive?
When it won't
How do you keep love alive?
On the day we met the sun was shining down
Down on the valley
Riddled with horses running
Crushing them with flowers

Oh my soul
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
What does it mean to be so sad?

Someone you love is supposed to make you happy
What do you do

Easy Plateau - ryan adams
Let's take a ride to the easy plateau
Where the cold don't come and the wind don't blow
Moonlight flickers on the water below
The orange grove blossoms
In the orange grove
Bad nights lead to better days
It doesn't matter but I think about it anyway
I want a easy plateau
Some place to rest my head
I want an easy plateau
Some place to rest my head
For awhile, for awhile, for awhile
For a little while
Sleepyhead, come on let's take a ride
To the easy plateau in the back of your mind
Up through the alley, take the door under the stairs
My head ain't feeling nothing but cats and rocking chairs
Bad nights lead to better days
It never happens but I think about it anyway
I want an easy plateau
Some place to hang my head
I want an easy plateau
Some place to hang my head
For awhile, for awhile, for awhile
For a little while
How do I hold on to you
If I can't hold on to me
How do I hold on to you
I want an easy plateau
Some place to rest my head for a little while
I want an easy plateau
Some place to rest my head
I want an easy plateau
Some place to rest my head
An easy plateau
Where the cold don't come and the wind don't blow
Moonlight flickers on the water below
The orange grove blossoms
In the orange grove
Bad nights lead to better days
It doesn't matter but I think about it anyway

Let It Ride - ryan adams
Moving like the fog on the Cumberland River
I was leaving on the Delta Queen
And I wasn't ready to go
I'm never ready to go
27 of nothing but failures and promises that I couldn't keep
Oh lord, I wasn't ready to go
I'm never ready to go
Let it ride
Let it ride easy down the road
Let it ride
Let it take away all of the darkness
Let it ride
Let it rock me in the arms of stranger's angels until it brings me home
Let it ride
Let it roll
Let it go
Loaded like a sailor
Tumbling off a ferry boat
I was at the bar till three
Oh Lord, and I wasn't ready to go
I'm never ready to go
Tennessee's a brother to my sister Carolina where they're gonna bury me
And I ain't ready to go
I'm never ready to go
Let it ride let it ride easy down the road
Let it ride
Let it take away all of this darkness
Let it ride
Let it rock me in the arms of stranger's angels until it brings me home
Let it ride
Let it roll
Let it go
I wanna see you tonight
Dancing in the endless moonlight
In the parking lot in the headlights of cars
Someplace on the moon
Where they moved the drive-in theater
Where I left the car that I can't find but I still got the keys to
Let it ride
Let it ride easy down the road
Let it ride
Let it take away all of this darkness
Let it ride
Let it rock me in the arms of stranger's angels until it brings me home
Let it ride
Let it roll
Let it go

Rosebud - ryan adams
When I pick up my guitar
This is the song that always comes
Don't know what I'm singing 'bout and
Don't know what for
I think about you
And I think about Rosebud
Wish there was a song to sing
To bring you back
But you can't get here from nowhere I guess
Rosebud's shipwrecked up on the Ohio
Behind a wall of glass
Telling me to take care of myself
And my friends
You sing to a field of trees
And roses singing those melodies
Simple and easy where everything moves
Underneath you
And Rosebud too
I wish there was a song to sing
To get you back
But you can't get here from nowhere I guess
Rosebud's shipwrecked up on the Ohio
Behind a wall of glass
Telling me to take it easy
But I took a photograph
And she's just a wooden machine
But you and Rosebud, you're still singing to me
This is the song that always comes
Don't know what I'm singing 'bout and
Don't know what for
I think about you
And I think about Rosebud
Wish there was a song to sing
To bring you back
But you can't get here from nowhere I guess
Rosebud's shipwrecked up on the Ohio
Behind a wall of glass
Telling me to take care of myself
And my friends
You sing to a field of trees
And roses singing those melodies
Simple and easy where everything moves
Underneath you
And Rosebud too
I wish there was a song to sing
To get you back
But you can't get here from nowhere I guess
Rosebud's shipwrecked up on the Ohio
Behind a wall of glass
Telling me to take it easy
But I took a photograph
And she's just a wooden machine
But you and Rosebud, you're still singing to me
Cold Roses - ryan adams
The mirrors in the room go black and blue
On a Sunday morning in her Saturday shoes
We don't choose who we love
We don't choose
The lights over the Midway melt on the street
In a Sunday shoes, with her Saturday feet
She don't love who he choose
She don't need what she use
Daylight comes and exposes
Saturday's bruises and cold roses
Cold roses
Nothing but the sunlight will help you grow
From underneath your bed you can't see the window
We don't choose what we see
We don't choose
Fortunate and angry just like a child
All that money buys you medicine but can't buy you time
We don't choose what we love
And she don't need what she got
Daylight comes and exposes
Saturday's bruises and cold roses
Cold roses
Cold roses
Cold roses
Cold roses
On a Sunday morning in her Saturday shoes
We don't choose who we love
We don't choose
The lights over the Midway melt on the street
In a Sunday shoes, with her Saturday feet
She don't love who he choose
She don't need what she use
Daylight comes and exposes
Saturday's bruises and cold roses
Cold roses
Nothing but the sunlight will help you grow
From underneath your bed you can't see the window
We don't choose what we see
We don't choose
Fortunate and angry just like a child
All that money buys you medicine but can't buy you time
We don't choose what we love
And she don't need what she got
Daylight comes and exposes
Saturday's bruises and cold roses
Cold roses
Cold roses
Cold roses
Cold roses
If I Am A Stranger - ryan adams
For all the hours here that move too slow
There's all this letting go, that don't pass
If all this love is real, how will we know?
If we're only scared of losing it, how will it last?
If I am a stranger now to you
I will always be, I will always be
Stronger now then me, stronger then you
Our love will always be
And if we let it go, I will try to be there for you
If I can, what if I can't?
Today is yesterday when you don't know
How to rebuild the walls that someone has knocked down
To tell the truth it's hard enough about a lover
Who you want to hide your darkness from
So they won't let you down
If I am a stranger now to you
I will always be, I will always be
Stronger now then me, stronger then you
Our love will always be
And if we let it go, I will try to be there for you
I will try and be there for you
If I can, what if I can't?
For all the hours here that move to slow
There's all this letting go, that won't pass
If all this love is real, how will we know?
And if were only scared of losing it, how will it last?
If I am a stranger now to you
I will always be, I will always be
Stronger now then me, stronger than you
Our love will always be
If we let it go, I will try to be there for you
I will try to be there for you
I will try to be there for you
If I can, what if I can't?
There's all this letting go, that don't pass
If all this love is real, how will we know?
If we're only scared of losing it, how will it last?
If I am a stranger now to you
I will always be, I will always be
Stronger now then me, stronger then you
Our love will always be
And if we let it go, I will try to be there for you

Blossom lyrics - Ryan Adams
Without anyone to love you
What will you blossom into?
Without anyone to hold you
How will you grow?
And in the Wildwood trees
The wild wind blows
And the nighttime crushes the hurricane rose
And with no one to care for you
Who knows
Blossom for me rose
You're the picture of my love
Blossom for me rose
Stretch out underneath the stars
And when tomorrow comes
I will hold you up
Little blossom, shining in the sun
Without any place to go to
How will your soul return to
Without anyone to keep you
Where will you go
And in the shadows of the past
Where you're spinning so fast
It's hard to see it coming
And it never lasts
And with nothing to judge your life by
How will you know
Blossom for me rose
You're the picture of my life
Blossom for me rose
Stretch out underneath the stars
And when tomorrow comes
I will hold you up
Little blossom, shining in the sun
Without anyone to love you
What will you blossom into
Without anyone to hold you
How will you grow
What will you blossom into?
Without anyone to hold you
How will you grow?
And in the Wildwood trees
The wild wind blows
And the nighttime crushes the hurricane rose
And with no one to care for you
Who knows
Blossom for me rose
You're the picture of my love
Blossom for me rose
Stretch out underneath the stars
And when tomorrow comes
I will hold you up
Little blossom, shining in the sun
Without any place to go to
How will your soul return to
Without anyone to keep you
Where will you go
And in the shadows of the past
Where you're spinning so fast
It's hard to see it coming
And it never lasts
And with nothing to judge your life by
How will you know
Blossom for me rose
You're the picture of my life
Blossom for me rose
Stretch out underneath the stars
And when tomorrow comes
I will hold you up
Little blossom, shining in the sun
Without anyone to love you
What will you blossom into
Without anyone to hold you
How will you grow
Life Is Beautiful - ryan adams
You plant a rose
And if the rose comes up
You're thankful to God
And when it doesn't you cuss him
You raise a child
And when the child grows up
You got to learn to let go
If you can't learn to love him
But, oh, what a beautiful thing when you sing
Hear all them bells ringing out in the street
Hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe
'Cause if I don't believe in love
Then I don't believe in you
And I do
Now I'm not saying only bad news comes
For the people who want it
But you gotta play that music for who's listening
You got to have someone you wanna sing it to
Oh, what a beautiful thing when you sing
Hear all them bells ringing out in the street
Blue sky cracking and it makes me believe
Oh, hear all them bells ringing out in the street
Hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe
'Cause if I don't believe in love
Then I don't believe in you
And I do
Close my eyes, see the glorious sunset
Through the windows of a store and I want it
Anyway, if I ever felt haunted
You were there for me
These angry people who are waiting to judge you
Have their own judgment that they'll have live up to
Open your mouth
And if nothing come through
Remember
You're the one that sings
And it's a gift
And life's a beautiful thing
Oh, don't waste it doll
You build a house and if the house comes up
You gotta work on that house
If you want to make it your home
'Cause everything inside that's not something you own
Is what you're taking with you
On the day that you go
And oh, what a beautiful world when we sing
Hear all them bells ringing out in the street
Hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe
Hear all them bells ringing out in the street
Oh, hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe
'Cause if I don't believe in love
Then I don't believe in you
And I do
And if the rose comes up
You're thankful to God
And when it doesn't you cuss him
You raise a child
And when the child grows up
You got to learn to let go
If you can't learn to love him
But, oh, what a beautiful thing when you sing
Hear all them bells ringing out in the street
Hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe
'Cause if I don't believe in love
Then I don't believe in you
And I do
Now I'm not saying only bad news comes

Friends - ryan adams
As pretty as a song
A song could ever be
Like Christmas on a river
Without a boat or Christmas tree
This afternoon with you was something like a letter
The kind that someone writes but never sends
And when you look at me
You remind me that someday it's gonna end
And when you pass on
I bet you miss your friends
As simple as a breeze
Tugging hard upon the sail
Been moving through these streets forever
From Istanbul to Amsterdam
This afternoon with you was something like a letter
The kind that someone writes but never sends
And when you look at me
You remind me that someday it's gonna end
And when you pass on
God, I bet you miss your friends
As pretty as a song
A song could ever be
Like Christmas on a river
Without a boat or Christmas tree
This afternoon with you was something like a letter
The kind that someone writes but never sends
And when you look at me
You remind me that someday it's gonna end

Let me singa song for you
That's never been sung before
All the words were meant for you
And never been said before
She kisses when she sleeps
She kisses when she's sleeping
Let me sing a song for you
A song that's worth the dreaming
Don't waste my time
This is it
This is really happening
What's the use in marigolds
These flowers are for you
All the lights go after burn
The sky it splits in two
I kiss her on her teeth
I kiss her on her teeth, hmm
Let me sing a song for you that alters your belief
Son't waste my time
This is it
This is really happening
That's never been sung before

1974 - ryan adams
The sun is shining hard at my feet
And the city is an animal ready to eat
It's raining like a nose bleed, cigarettes and sweets
And I feel it coming on
Bloody as the day I was born
It's 1974
Just like the day I was born
It's 1974
She isn't crazy
She's just not impressed
She stabs me with her eyes
Dirty knives hidden in her dress
And it's raining like bombs in my room when I'm alone
And I swear I think I knew you before
Just like the day I was born
It's 1974
Just like the day I was born
It's 1974
Just like the day I was born
It's 1974
Just like the day I was born
It's 1974
Do you want it, do you want it, do you want it, come on
Do you want it, do you want it, come on just bring it on
Nothing gonna stop it now
But nothing
Do you want it, come on
Do you want it, do you want it, come on just bring it on
It's 1974
It's 1974
It's 1974
It's 1974
And the city is an animal ready to eat
It's raining like a nose bleed, cigarettes and sweets
And I feel it coming on
Bloody as the day I was born
It's 1974
Just like the day I was born
It's 1974
She isn't crazy
She's just not impressed
She stabs me with her eyes
Dirty knives hidden in her dress
And it's raining like bombs in my room when I'm alone
And I swear I think I knew you before
Just like the day I was born
It's 1974
Just like the day I was born
It's 1974
Just like the day I was born
It's 1974
Just like the day I was born
It's 1974
Do you want it, do you want it, do you want it, come on
Do you want it, do you want it, come on just bring it on
Nothing gonna stop it now
But nothing
Do you want it, come on
Do you want it, do you want it, come on just bring it on
It's 1974
It's 1974
It's 1974
It's 1974
Wish You Were Here - ryan adams
Cotton candy and a rotten mouth
You know you're so fucked up
You know I couldn't help but have it for you
And everybody knows the way I walk
And knows the way I talk
And knows the way I feel about you
It's all a bunch of shit
And there's nothing to do around here
It's totally fucked up
I'm totally fucked up
Wish you were here
And streets that only turn to boulevards
And houses with back yards
and it's raining like hell on the cars
And everybody knows the way I walk
And knows the way I talk
Knows the way I feel about you
It's all a bunch of shit
And there's nothing to do around here
It's totally fucked
I'm totally fucked
Wish you were here
And if I could have my way
We'd take some drugs
And we'd smile
We'd smile
We'd smile
But not tonight, my dear
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
You know you're so fucked up
You know I couldn't help but have it for you
And everybody knows the way I walk
And knows the way I talk
And knows the way I feel about you
It's all a bunch of shit
And there's nothing to do around here
It's totally fucked up
I'm totally fucked up
Wish you were here
And streets that only turn to boulevards
And houses with back yards
and it's raining like hell on the cars
And everybody knows the way I walk
And knows the way I talk
Knows the way I feel about you
It's all a bunch of shit
And there's nothing to do around here
It's totally fucked
I'm totally fucked
Wish you were here
And if I could have my way
We'd take some drugs
And we'd smile
We'd smile
We'd smile
But not tonight, my dear
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
So Alive - ryan adams
Today I watched the boats
Moving through the harbor
Walking on water
In your arms I'd stay
Forever if I could
Forever if I may
Keeps me in your thoughts, don't disappear
I am on your side
And so alive
So alive it isn't real
If this is how I feel
Then nothing now is true
And nothing now can ever be taken away from you
Sinking in the past
The things that shouldn't last
Just put to bed and stand beside me
Stand beside me
Always on your side
I'm on your side
And so alive it isn't real
I am on your side
And so alive
And so alive
And so alive
I am on your side
I am on your side
I am on your side
And so alive
So alive
Moving through the harbor
Walking on water
In your arms I'd stay
Forever if I could
Forever if I may
Keeps me in your thoughts, don't disappear
I am on your side
And so alive
So alive it isn't real
If this is how I feel
Then nothing now is true
And nothing now can ever be taken away from you
Sinking in the past
The things that shouldn't last
Just put to bed and stand beside me
Stand beside me
Always on your side
I'm on your side
And so alive it isn't real
I am on your side
And so alive
And so alive
And so alive
I am on your side
I am on your side
I am on your side
And so alive
So alive
Luminol - ryan adams
Nobody with no one to call
And all this time
Hot metal as her clothes dissolve
Emergency lights
It's genocide
It's sucide
I'm spinning around the room in awe
I'm spinning around the room
I'm floating through a room of halls
Partytime
Stops breathing like a china doll
And broken eyes
It's genocide
Suicide
I'm spinning around the room in awe
All bloody in the luminol
I'm spinning around the room in awe
In awe
Save my life...
Say my name
It's genocide
It's suicide
I'm floating through a room of halls
All bloody in the luminol
I'm spinning around the room in awe
In awe
And on and on and on
And all this time
Hot metal as her clothes dissolve
Emergency lights
It's genocide
It's sucide
I'm spinning around the room in awe
I'm spinning around the room
I'm floating through a room of halls
Partytime
Stops breathing like a china doll
And broken eyes
It's genocide
Suicide
I'm spinning around the room in awe
All bloody in the luminol
I'm spinning around the room in awe
In awe
Save my life...
Say my name
It's genocide
It's suicide
I'm floating through a room of halls
All bloody in the luminol
I'm spinning around the room in awe
In awe
And on and on and on
Burning Photograhs - ryan adams
I finally see the light
Down on the east side
Wasted like a memory
If I had a car I'd drive
Straight off the bridge into the river, it would empty me
Pretty pictures in a magazine
Everybody is so make believe, it's true
I used to be sad
Now I'm just bored with you
You're doomed to repeat the past
'Cause nothing is gonna last
I burned all of your photographs
Traffic sings the songs
Inviting me in to dodge the bullets from an empty gun
If I had a car I'd drive straight into the window of a bank I owed money to
Pretty pictures in a magazine
Everybody is so make believe, it's true
I used to be sad
Now I'm just bored with you
You're doomed to repeat the past
'Cause nothing is gonna last
I burned all of your photographs
And all the time you're so unhappy
And everything to you's so heavy
But oh my word, ain't you pretty now
There's nothing to make up now
No one to wake up now
She's starting to break up
WOW
Pretty pictures in a magazine

She's Lost Total Control - ryan adams
So much for the days of glory
It's not like your idols died and are holy now
You cross the street and count to ten
And everyone that mattered went to bed
Or maybe they died
Welcome home
Miss So Unknown
Bet you want it back
They all want it back, but you can't have it
You've lost total control
The sun, it lights the blades of grass
It's not like she knows the difference or cares
She's stupid and cold
Somewhere in the waves of doubt
It's not like she swam awhile, then faded out
So stupid and calm
Welcome home
Miss So Unknown
Do you want it back?
Welcome home
Miss So Unknown
They all want it back, when they want it all back
But you can't have it
You've lost control
It's not like your idols died and are holy now
You cross the street and count to ten
And everyone that mattered went to bed
Or maybe they died
Welcome home
Miss So Unknown
Bet you want it back
They all want it back, but you can't have it
You've lost total control
The sun, it lights the blades of grass
It's not like she knows the difference or cares
She's stupid and cold
Somewhere in the waves of doubt
It's not like she swam awhile, then faded out
So stupid and calm
Welcome home
Miss So Unknown
Do you want it back?
Welcome home
Miss So Unknown
They all want it back, when they want it all back
But you can't have it
You've lost control
Not To Self: Don't Die - ryan adams
I'm as blue
I'm as blue as the ocean is true, it's just refelctions of the sky
I'm as cold
I'm as cold as the stories you told but never sick enough to die
Note to self: don't change for anyone
Note to self: don't die
Note to self: don't change for anyone
Don't change, just lie
I'm as sick
I'm as crass as the things in your past, you wished that you could let them go
Caged birds
Caged animals starving for class
In your house when you're alone
Note to self: don't change for anyone
Note to self: don't die
Note to self: don't change for anyone
Don't change, just lie
Who do you call when you're alone
Nobody, baby
Who do you want to be, figure out and just let me know
Don't change, don't change, don't change
Just let me go
Just let me go
Just let me go
I'm as blue as the ocean is true, it's just refelctions of the sky
I'm as cold
I'm as cold as the stories you told but never sick enough to die
Note to self: don't change for anyone
Note to self: don't die
Note to self: don't change for anyone
Don't change, just lie
I'm as sick
I'm as crass as the things in your past, you wished that you could let them go
Caged birds
Caged animals starving for class
In your house when you're alone
Note to self: don't change for anyone
Note to self: don't die
Note to self: don't change for anyone
Don't change, just lie
Who do you call when you're alone
Nobody, baby
Who do you want to be, figure out and just let me know
Don't change, don't change, don't change
Just let me go
Just let me go
Just let me go
Rock N Roll - ryan adams
Everybody's cool playing rock n roll
Everybody's cool playing rock n roll
I don't feel cool at all
I don't feel cool at all
Send all of my best out to the hand
I don't think I'll make it out to the show
There's this girl I can't get out of my head
There's this girl I can't get out of my head
And I don't feel so cool at all
Everybody's cool playing rock n roll
I don't feel cool at all
I don't feel cool at all
Send all of my best out to the hand
I don't think I'll make it out to the show
There's this girl I can't get out of my head
There's this girl I can't get out of my head
And I don't feel so cool at all
Anybody Want To Take Me Home - ryan adams
So, I am in the twilight of my youth
Not that I'm going to remember
And have you seen the moon tonight
Is it full?
Still burning its embers
The people dancing in the corner, they seem happy
But I am sad
I am still dancing in the coma of the drinks I just had
Does anybody want to take me home?
Does anybody want to take me home?
Take me to your house, and I'll leave you alone
Of course I will
Of course I won't
It seems so tragic... but it disappears like magic
Like magic
Can you recommend an education or drugs
Because I am bored with you already
I'm on Broadway, and I think it's a parade
I'm covered in pieces of confetti
And I am in the twilight of my youth
Not that I am going to remember
Dancing and slowly finding the truth
And it's covered in coma
All of these people in my life, well they seem so in love
Well, I am not
Memorizing my shoes in a cigarette shop
Does anybody want to take me home?
Does anybody want to take me home?
I'm kinda lonely, will you take me home?
Of course you will
Of course you won't
Of course I'm crass
It seems so tragic
Of course you will
Of course you won't
But I'll disappear
I'll disappear
Just like magic
Just like magic
Just like magic
Not that I'm going to remember
And have you seen the moon tonight
Is it full?
Still burning its embers
The people dancing in the corner, they seem happy
But I am sad
I am still dancing in the coma of the drinks I just had
Does anybody want to take me home?
Does anybody want to take me home?
Take me to your house, and I'll leave you alone
Of course I will
Of course I won't

Do Miss America - ryan adams
So, tell me how you feel without your medicine
Hold you head feelin' paranoid
Sweet sixteen for a schizoid
So, tell me how you feel
Now you're the only one
Held you head in the setting sun
Sweet black smoke with the poison
Hey, come everybody do Miss America
Hey, you know when she goes down it's hysterical
So, tell me how you feel without your medicine
Hold your head feeling paranoid
Running down the street from a mergatroid
So, tell me how you feel
Now you're the only one
Held your head in the setting sun
Sweet black smoke from a crooked gun
Hey, come everybody do Miss America
Hey, you know when she goes down it's hysterical
Hold you head feelin' paranoid
Sweet sixteen for a schizoid
So, tell me how you feel
Now you're the only one
Held you head in the setting sun
Sweet black smoke with the poison
Hey, come everybody do Miss America
Hey, you know when she goes down it's hysterical
So, tell me how you feel without your medicine
Hold your head feeling paranoid
Running down the street from a mergatroid
So, tell me how you feel
Now you're the only one
Held your head in the setting sun
Sweet black smoke from a crooked gun
Hey, come everybody do Miss America
Hey, you know when she goes down it's hysterical
