The Spirit
04:15
|

When the spirit moves upon me I’ll be on the ground
Letting grace wash over ‘cause to hell I’m bound
Who has ears let ‘em hear
And to him who can’t - let it be clear
That a storm is coming
Likes we’ve never seen
I suggest you hit your knees boy
‘Cause it ain’t no joke - He’s coming again
I was washed in water I was born again
But the fire burned too brightly
And now here I stand
Kicking myself for being so weak
Praying on the daily
That’s why I speak
What you do in darkness
Will be shown in light
If you think you can fool the devil
Well be my guest - give it a try
Yeah a storm is coming
Likes we’ve never seen
I suggest you hit your knees boy
‘Cause it ain’t no joke - He’s coming again
What you do in darkness
Will be shown in light
If you wanna fool the devil
Well be my guest - give it a try
You can be my guest - give it a try

The Rileys

I ain’t got time to waste no
Getting older, feeling bolder
Hell yeah I got something to say
Jesus loves you and he loves me
There was was a man from the outskirts of town
And he couldn’t stand up and he wouldn’t sit down
Said he wanted you with all of his heart
So he did the right thing sold his dream
Headed out to California
Where he’s living’ it up with the Rileys
I know that we break down easy
‘Cause it gets so hard, gets so hard
When you’re coming down
If we could but die to ourselves
And take a chance on the river, we’d never want to sail
Leave behind all our habits and lies
And be new men with a new plan
Gonna sing it out, even if you don’t like it
I know that we break down easy
It gets so hard, gets so hard
When you’re coming down

Grove St
02:31
|

When I was younger I thought about Jesus
As some wild wizard who taught to the heathens
He healed the sick, and raised the dead
There’s something false about those we admire
The hero’s we choose, the things we desire
There’s something real that comes with the ones we love
I got hit by a train on Grove Street
And it wrecked my soul
I’ve been spending my time running in circles
Falling in love and being a jerk
I get mesmerized by the way I can wreck anything
And my well runs deep but most times it’s dry
If you want we can get up and you can ask why
I don’t have all the answers but I swear I know the truth
I got hit by a train on Grove Street
And it wrecked my soul
And it wrecked my soul

Thirteen
04:16
|

I was just a boy when I made thirteen years old
Took everything I could from my old man
He taught me right form wrong
Showed me to be strong
And the face of a world gone wrong
If I could go back
And show him what I have
A pocket full fo dreams or so it seems
He’d say boy remember who you are
Don’t ever stray too far
From the truth and what the good lord has in store
I remember you
Hands so strong
And in my mind you never did wrong
Sometimes we run it out
Sometimes we sing and shout
You were laying facedown
And I was drunk at home
Drinking some beer they don’t make no more
When a call came in at one
It said Zach you’re daddy’s gone
It said Zach you’re daddy’s gone
Well I grabbed my head
Grasped for breath
My wife a nervous wreck
How was I gonna tell myself that my dad was dead
I felt so lost far from home

Count Me Out
03:53
|
|||
I flew like an arrow
Straight towards the ground
I couldn’t hear a sound
Tape hiss said had to start now
So I’ve taken my branches
And I’ve trimmed ‘em all back
Im waiting for you
You can count me in or just count me out
And the churches are empty
The bride she done changed
She’s done being useful
Maybe I just missed the game
And when the fences all broken
And shit’s getting out
Gotta stand proud
Count me in or just count me out
Done taking changes
Done being nice
I’ve got no excuses
There’s only what’s right
So tell me it’s all good
Kiss me goodnight
Tell me it’s all good
Then turn out the lights
You can count me in or just count me out
You can count me in or just count me out

Making Mistakes
03:16
|
|||
Well I bark like a dog and I howl at the moon
To get my way sometimes
Nothing feels so lonesome
As when you’re not around
The moon is full and it’s getting cold
I swear we could use more shine
I’m gonna tell everybody
That we’re not around
I need a break from this town
Making mistakes tryin’ to earn that crown
Here we walk that dirt road
Like we’ve always done
Picking up the pieces of all that we’ve become
Once I played with childish things
The mirror it was black
Now I see see so dimly the hope I’ve held so fast
I’m counting change for that train
Making mistakes tryin’ to board again
Have you ever killed a man and drank his blood like wine
I tell you man I’ve done it and I swear it changed my life

Yonder Town
03:02
|

Take me down to that yonder town
Where they play and they sing all damn night
I ain’t got the fight it’s all bark and no bite
So I guess I’m saying goodbye
I could’a been a postman
Touching words with my hands
I could’a been a preacher
But I was too blind to see the light that I had
Take me out and show me the route
To the city with streets paved of gold
Lord show the sign give me water to wine
‘Cause I believe I’m losing my mind
I could’a been a postman
Touching words with my hands
I could’a been a preacher
But I was too blind to see the light that I had

The Pretender
04:04
|
|||
I know you’re just a restless soul babe
Trying hard just to me a go babe
I know its not all you expected
Trying hard just to be a pretender
I don’t wanna stop you
From being what you ought to
I don’t wanna be the one
Who keeps you from the sun
Take a pill and get some sleep babe
Doctors orders you got to appreciate
She don’t care what the people say
She gonna do it her way anyway
I don’t wanna stop you
From being what you ought to
I don’t wanna be the one
Who keeps you from the sun

We Want Answers
05:12
|
|||
Tell me a story but please keep it clean
My ears are so weary of the obscene
My heart is stays broken from the news that I read
We’re all tired and broken, it’s a savior we need
The inns are all closed
Everyone is offended by the truth by agendas
I wish we’d wake up and come our senses
It’s a vision we need not direction
Tell me a story but please keep it brief
My attention’s been waning from disbelief
Well we all won’t more we want to be chosen
But in the end what we ask for we’re given
I don’t know how it could be any clearer
The future’s so black
The end’s getting nearer
We want answers we want the truth
We want answers we want the truth
We want answers we want the truth

Killing Time
02:58
|
|||
I was wondering where you were last night
Sleeping under our candlelight
I swore I hadn’t had too much to drink
Life’s thin when you’re living in sin
It don’t matter if you dive in
It’s all about the intention and knowing the costs
Always thought that I was so strong
Just a lie that I bring along
Votes are in and I’m just as weak as the rest
Life was fast though the hourglass
Living young and we’re dying fast
Sometimes wonder if we just missed the boat
I know you won’t see me on the radio
Just some fool killing time
God shows his grace on those who get it wrong
Darling that’s been me all along
Darling that’s been me all along
Darling that’s been me all along
