I Am Lost 03:34
Bad luck bad luck I’ve had lots of bad luck Bad luck bad luck ba-da-ba-ba-ba bad luck Lookin’ down the road I see cold I see dark I see dread Lately all my dreams turn into nightmares My soul an empty pit that can’t be filled That graveyard dirt you gave me just ain’t workin’ This rage within my guts cannot be stilled I am lost I am lost are you? I am lost I am lost are you? Bad luck bad luck I’ve had lots of bad luck Bad luck bad luck ba-da-ba-ba-ba bad luck Lookin’ down the road I see cold I see dark I see dread I’m worried that the call I made to Cindy Got disconnected when the lightning hit I’m worried that this stink I call my life sir Will end before I find a point to it I am lost I am lost are you? I am lost I am lost are you? Bad luck bad luck I’ve had lots of bad luck Bad luck bad luck ba-da-ba-ba-ba bad luck Lookin’ down the road I see cold I see dark I see dread Did you know my cousin was a jailer? He killed himself in prison long ago To me his fate it seems so awful funny Devoured by the rats so I was told I am lost I am lost are you? I am lost I am lost are you? Bad luck bad luck I’ve had lots of bad luck Bad luck bad luck ba-da-ba-ba-ba bad luck Lookin’ down the road I see cold I see dark I see dread Are you lost?

Getting Old 04:08
Why do I hate everything new? Why are my eyeballs sinkin’ in? You’re gettin’ old buddy you’re gettin’ old Why is my skin melting like wax? Why is my hair so grey and thin? You’re gettin’ old buddy you’re gettin’ old Is there a devil to return my youth If I should give him my soul? And would he even want my poor stinkin’ soul? No! Why do I feel so fuckin’ scared? Why do I cower from sin? You’re gettin’ old buddy you’re gettin’ old Why is the light growing so dim? Why can’t I never ever win? You’re gettin’ old buddy you’re gettin’ old Is there a devil to return my youth If I should give him my soul? And would he even want my poor stinkin’ soul? No! Getting old I guess I’ve had it I guess I’m past my prime Guess I’m way way way over the hill I’m so old How did it happen? How did I get so old? Give me back my youth Satan please help

Let Us Rot 02:20
Up on the cross Jesus Up on the cross Jesus No one to cut him down Jesus Most everyone is a coward Clinging to their dead end lives Trying to make themselves happy Buying material things Trying to keep themselves busy So that they don’t have to think About the pain others have gone through To get them where they are today Up on the cross Jesus Up on the cross Jesus No one to cut him down Jesus Things weren’t always this easy People they used to live life They weren’t surrounded by comfort They didn’t have soft bodies and minds Well now we’re just shit for the devil To trample and rub on his face We deserve to be punished We should take Jesus’ place Up on the cross Jesus Up on the cross Jesus No one to cut him down Jesus Just let us rot let us rot let us rot

Give me drugs so I can go outside Give me drugs I think I lost my mind Oh I’m scared when I’m not numb Give me drugs so I can go to sleep Give me drugs so I can stay awake Oh I’m scared when I’m not numb Though life is unbearable somehow you learn to bear it And all your unhappiness come on you’ve got to share it Give me drugs so I don’t have to think Give me drugs so I can concentrate Oh I’m scared when I’m not numb Give me drugs and let me live again Give me drugs I’m desperate for a friend Oh I’m scared when I’m not numb Though life is unbearable somehow you learn to bear it And all your unhappiness come on you’ve got to share it Give me drugs Make me numb

If you want to ride in my stinkin’ car Get yourself all dolled up We’ll drive beneath them haunting stars Get yourself all dolled up I know that beauty dies everybody’s got to age But right now you’re the tops Promise me you’ll never grow up The engine is a revvin’ and it’s nice and warm Get yourself all dolled up A thousand miles an hour past the swaying corn Get yourself all dolled up I know that beauty dies everybody’s got to age But right now you’re the tops Promise me you’ll never grow up My greatest fear has always been Dying in a car alone But with you by my side It just don’t matter if I make it home Gals you look your best when you’re nice and sad Get yourself all dolled up Oh tears on a pretty face it drives me mad Get yourself all dolled up I know that beauty dies everybody’s got to age But right now you’re the tops Promise me you’ll never grow up Here’s a lonely spot for to stop and kiss Get yourself all dolled up Oh that sweet bitter fleeting happiness Get yourself all dolled up I know that beauty dies everybody’s got to age But right now you’re the tops Promise me you’ll never grow up My greatest fear has always been Dying in a car alone But with you by my side It just don’t matter if I make it home We’re burnin’ rubber baby We’re burnin’ rubber now Get yourself all dolled up

The train went off the track The night she took me back And I cried God have mercy But God He was gone I heard the brakes a squeal I felt the crush of steel And I cried God have mercy But God He was gone Oh what a night oh what a night What a strange dark night Boots upon my back My spine just up and snapped And I cried God have mercy But God He was gone And there my life did end Alone without a friend And I cried God have mercy But God he was gone Oh what a night oh what a night What a strange dark night Oh what a night oh what a night What a strange dark night

I was born to preach the gospel I was born to preach the gospel I was born to preach the gospel And I sure do love my job I ain’t never been to no college And I didn’t get a chance in school But when Jesus Christ anointed me to preach the gospel He didn’t leave me no fool I was born to preach the gospel I was born to preach the gospel I was born to preach the gospel And I sure do love my job Now there’s a lot of educated preachers Who are all mixed up in the head They’ve got their hearts fixed on gold And are walkin’ around spiritually dead I was born to preach the gospel I was born to preach the gospel I was born to preach the gospel And I sure do love my job Well preachers they ought to stick together But everyone has split What the church needs right now Is to regenerate the pulpit I was born to preach the gospel I was born to preach the gospel I was born to preach the gospel And I sure do love my job I said I sure do love my God

Big Trees 00:49
Trees big trees outside my cabin door Trees big trees they hide me from it all The terrible sight of neighbors The stinkin’ stench of cars Trees big trees grow mighty and tall

The only time I have any fun anymore’s when I’m prayin’ But I just can’t pray no more it doesn’t work The only time I have any fun anymore’s if I’m stealin’ But I just can’t steal no more or I’ll die And I don’t want to die tonight No I don’t want to die tonight Loneliness will drive a man crazy Ain’t I proof of that? The only time I have any fun anymore (crazy) (crazy)

Trouble at home trouble at home I got some trouble at home boys You know I got some trouble at home I guess she don’t like it when I sneak out at night Swingin’ pretty young girls on my arms But once in a while even I need some fun Boy it sure feels good to do wrong She say she gonna leave me if I don’t straighten out But I’m happier than I’ve ever been It’s causin’ trouble at home trouble at home I got some trouble at home boys You know I got some trouble at home Yeah I like to hurt everybody I see And I sure don’t like to be bored Sometimes I need to let off some steam Because life it just don’t last too long Oh come with me a conscienceless and vicious loser be Does it all have to be either this way or that? Must I choose depression or joy? What if I want a little of both For the first time in years I’m alive It’s causin’ trouble at home trouble at home I got some trouble at home boys You know I got some trouble at home All of your friends they’re taking your side They say I’m selfish and bad But honey I’m sad I’m just lonely and sad I need to lose myself and go mad Oh come with me a conscienceless and vicious loser be Oh trouble at home trouble at home I got some trouble at home boys You know I got some trouble at home

So what? Big deal! Big deal! So what? Who cares? I don’t want to be no square I don’t want to be no square

Today I saw my funeral it was an awful sight The grass was brown and dying and the sun was sick and bright I felt my body lowered in the cold and frozen ground Today I saw my funeral there was no one around Today I saw my funeral it made me so ashamed I realized the only thing my life had brought was pain All I ever cared about or thought about was me Today I saw my funeral it was so hard to see Today I saw my funeral so silent and alone I wanted to go find someone to weep upon my bones To change me from this terrible thing to something pure and good Today I saw my funeral as on your grave I stood Grandmother
