1.	Dust In A Baggie (OurVinyl Sessions) 02:50	lyrics	buy track
[Verse 1] I ain't slept in seven days, haven't ate in three Methamphetamine has got a damn good hold of me My tweaker friends have got me to the point of no return I just took the lighter to the bulb and watched it burn [Chorus] This life of sin has got me in Well it's got me back in prison once again I used my only phone call to contact my daddy I got twenty long years for some dust in a baggie [Verse 2] Well if I would have listened to what Mom and Papa said I wouldn't be locked up in prison, troubled in the head I took that little pop and sucked until my mind was spun I got twenty years to sit and think of what I've done [Chorus] This life of sin has got me in Well it's got me back in prison once again I used my only phone call to contact my daddy I got twenty long years for some dust in a baggie [Verse 3] Sometimes I sit and wonder where my little life went wrong These old jailhouse blues have got me singing this old song My life is a disaster, Lord and I feel so ashamed In here where they call by a number, not a name [Chorus] This life of sin has got me in Well it's got me back in prison once again I used my only phone call to contact my daddy I got twenty long years for some dust in a baggie I used my only phone call to contact my daddy I got twenty long years for some dust in a baggie
2.	Turmoil & Tinfoil (OurVinyl Sessions) 06:52	lyrics	buy track
[Verse 1] Through the turmoil and the tinfoil I could wade my early life I could see you in the darkness And I'm running through the night [Verse 2] I recall a silver morning When your face had turned to gray You were standin' right before me But I missed you every day [Chorus 1] Though you never said you're sorry I forgave you even then But I feel it consequential In the current state I'm in [Verse 3] But I'll try to keep on living Through the nauseating gloom And I'll try to keep on digging Wretched past I will entomb [Chorus 1] Though you never said you're sorry I forgave you even then But I feel it consequential In the current state I'm in [Instrumental] [Verse 4] Through the turmoil and the tinfoil Just the way it used to be But I have a strength and I have learned How to fly on broken wings [Chorus 2] Lord, you never said you're sorry I'll forgive you even then But I feel it consequential In the current state I'm in
3.	While I'm Waiting Here (OurVinyl Sessions) 05:08	lyrics	buy track
[Verse 1] It's been over thirty days I've not received your letter My fingernails are chewed down to the bone So many different ways I've had to say I'm sorry While I'm left here in this eight by ten alone [Pre-Chorus 1] It's not the four walls movin' in that tortures me It's not the cold cement or shivers down my spine It's just the visions in my head that make me paranoid And wonder if when I get out will you be mine [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 2] I never should have treated you So bad my love I'm sorry I'm broken, now I can see that now it's true My picket fence is turning razor wire And now I'm awaiting trial Things you have to know I did not do [Pre-Chorus 2] If I could get a word with you I'd be just fine Or any envelope with both your name and mine We'd be enough to keep me going In a world where I'm left knowing that There's something more to live for just outside [Chorus] Seems like the last time, feels like the first Though I've had bad days, this has to be my worst I'm left thinking of you dear, while I'm waiting here [Instrument Solo] [Verse 3] I haven't seen the sun Since it rested on your shoulder While we walked along that vacant river side They carried me away To a place where I get older If I cannot prove to them you never died
4.	On The Line (OurVinyl Sessions) 04:20	lyrics	buy track
[Verse 1] You can't stop us from movin' You can't stop us from feelin' fine You can't stop us from puttin' our lives on the line [Verse 2] You can't stop us from dancin' You can't stop us from feelin' high We can't help it if we'd like to stay out all night [Verse 3] It's a cure for the bleakness It's a pill for the day-to-day It's just a way for me to shake loose the dust and the clay [Chorus] I'd love show you, but you wouldn't go I'd love to take you, but I know the way you roll You see it your way, I see it mine and I'll be fine You see it your way, I see it mine and I'll be fine [Verse 4] While we're young and resilient While fearless and fancy free We'll be fine without you and your numbers and lines [Verse 5] While we're wishing and watching While we're wishing and watching here We won't see your illusional blanket of fear [Verse 6] Like a wave through the ocean Like a gust on an August While we're movin' you won't stand a chance in our way [Chorus] I'd love show you, but you wouldn't go I'd love to take you, but I know the way you roll You see it your way, I see it mine and I'll be fine You see it your way, I see it mine and I'll be fine [Verse 7] Should've been gone for years now You should've packed up and left this place You should've ducked out and given up your spot in the race [Verse 8] You can cling to your madness You can swim down and hold your breath But I'll be standing on dry ground with all of the rest [Chorus] I'd love show you, but you wouldn't go I'd love to take you, but I know the way you roll You see it your way, I see it mine and I'll be fine You see it your way, I see it mine and I'll be fine You see it your way, I see it mine
