My hometown’s where the wind stops On a map it’s hard to find They say you can’t escape here Been trying all my life Come hell or high water I am a traveler, born to roam I got miles and miles And miles and miles And miles to go Felt a breeze for the first time Took hold and headed west Never seen the Rocky Mountains They were just as I had dreamt Into the deep blue yonder I am a traveler, born to roam I got miles and miles And miles and miles And miles to go We wouldn’t sleep till California I drove straight off of the coast I’d never seen the ocean I never been this far from home Come hell or high water I am a traveler, born to roam I got miles and miles And miles and miles And miles to go Into the deep blue yonder I am a traveler, born to roam I got miles and miles And miles and miles And miles to go

All On Black 03:11
I got a problem I can’t quit Baby I can’t put you down Straight up with a twist Baby I ain’t fooling round I have a wager you feel the same I spin the wheel and play the game I put my money all on black I try my luck to win you back I’m on a hot streak tonight Lady Luck catch my eye It has been a long time Since I felt your lips to mine I have a wager you feel the same I spin the wheel and play the game I put my money all on black I try my luck to win you back I was broke, I lost it all When you left, it all went wrong And like a queen, you left the room I walked the floor over you I have a wager you feel the same I spin the wheel and play the game I put my money all on black I try my luck to win you back

Fallen Again 03:55
Help me, I’m tired Life has backfired Brother I’m hanging my head I thought that I won But it all came undone Where the hell did I take that wrong step I’m still breathing Barely holding on to the end of my rope Here I am, caught on the edge Is there still reason to hope Can you spare some water, brother, I am dry Can you give me a hand, I’ve fallen again I have been reckless, careless and selfish Foolish in the ways of love 
 I woke up downtown, concrete face down 
 Last night I fucked it all up

 I’m still breathing Barely holding on to the end of my rope Here I am, caught on the edge Is there still reason to hope Can you spare some water, brother, I am dry Can you give me a hand, I’ve fallen again

 Teach me to breathe Give me release 
 I can’t do this alone 
 I don’t know how to get up when I’m down
 It feels like I’m set to explode 

 I’m still breathing Barely holding on to the end of my rope Here I am, caught on the edge Is there still reason to hope Can you spare some water, brother, I am dry Can you give me a hand, I’ve fallen again

It took sixteen years 
 And one hundred thousand miles 
 I was a preacher’s son who lost his way for a while 
 I sang a poor man’s song
 No one could hear 
 It took one hundred thousand miles and sixteen years 

 Sixteen years 
 I’ve been working for sixteen years 
 I’m gonna make it if it takes another sixteen years 

 Yeah I’ve got broken bones 
 And bloody hands 
 A whiskey-torn voice holding on by a strand 
 They say time will heal
But that time ain’t here 
 It takes one hundred thousand miles and sixteen years

 Sixteen years 
 I’ve been working for sixteen years 
 I’m gonna make it if it takes another sixteen years
 Sixteen years 
 I’ve been working for sixteen years 
 I’m gonna make it if it takes another sixteen years And one hundred thousand miles 
 Of fistfights and unpaid trials 
 I’m living the dream or just in denial 
 For another hundred thousand miles

 Sixteen years 
 I’ve been working for sixteen years 
 I’m gonna make it if it takes another sixteen years
 Sixteen years 
 I’ve been working for sixteen years 
 I’m gonna make it if it takes another sixteen years

It was a Tuesday in Wyoming on our way to Yellowstone 
 From there we hit Montana for another Thursday show 
 But before the Teton Mountains, and down a straight line road 
 We stopped in for the night at the grand Shoshone Rose

 I saw the mountains change right before me 
 I hit the jackpot and walked away with it all
 I swam in the seas of neon lights 
 I wandered the rolling hills till dawn
 Down a straight line road 
 I’m always welcomed at the door of the grand Shoshone Rose 

 The sun was going down when it all began to hit 
 The walls began to melt and my mind began to shift 
 I felt peace and connection on a path that I was shown 
 I found Jesus on the slot machines at the grand Shoshone Rose 

 I saw the mountains change right before me 
 I hit the jackpot and walked away with it all
 I swam in the seas of neon lights 
 I wandered the rolling hills till dawn
 Down a straight line road 
 I’m always welcomed at the door of the grand Shoshone Rose

 I saw the mountains change right before me 
 I hit the jackpot and walked away with it all
 I swam in the seas of neon lights 
 I wandered the rolling hills till dawn
 Down a straight line road 
 I’m always welcomed at the door of the grand Shoshone Rose

I ain’t got the money I owe you honey 
 It’s been a hard few months and I’m down on my rent 
 I ain’t got the money you loaned me honey 
 This bottom dollar boy ain’t worth a cent

 I hope to pay you back if it’s not too late 
 I’ll do every dirty job they got left in the state 
 But you should have known this from the start
 I’m just a bottom dollar boy with a golden heart 
 A bottom dollar boy with a golden heart

 I ain’t got the credit to buy us a house 
 No I ain’t got the cash to keep you running out 
 I swear to god on my grandmother’s grave 
 I would give you everything that I could save 

 I hope to pay you back if it’s not too late 
 I’ll do every dirty job they got left in the state 
 But you should have known this from the start
 I’m just a bottom dollar boy with a golden heart 
 A bottom dollar boy with a golden heart

 I guess I’ll rob a bank 
 Hold up a liquor store 
 I could steal a truck, sell the parts for a little more 
 But I ain’t a thief 
 No criminal mastermind 
 I’m just a bottom dollar boy trying to save his life 

 I hope to pay you back if it’s not too late 
 I’ll do every dirty job they got left in the state 
 But you should have known this from the start
 I’m just a bottom dollar boy with a golden heart 
 A bottom dollar boy with a golden heart

Yeah she strikes me like a match 
 When she comes around I light up fast 
 But acting like my world hasn’t changed is like smoking cigarettes in the rain I can’t blame her for me moving on 
 If I was her I wouldn’t last as long 
 Cause getting me to change these hard living ways 
 Is like smoking cigarettes in the rain

 Dodging drops while taking a drag
 When it goes out you can’t get it back 
 Holding on to them good old days 
 Is like smoking cigarettes in the rain

 Can’t turn around a mind that’s made
 I had to watch you walk away But acting like this heart of mine didn’t just break 
 Is like smoking cigarettes in the rain 

 Dodging drops while taking a drag
 When it goes out you can’t get it back 
 Holding on to them good old days 
 Is like smoking cigarettes in the rain

Nowhere Fast 04:08

Two kids on the run
 With the windows rolled down and the radio up 
 Screaming at the top of our lungs 
 Tomorrow we’ll be older but today we’re still young 

 There is no outrunning time 
 Only running for our lives 

 Before our youth has faded 
 We made our escape 
 When there is nowhere to go 
 Yeah we’re going nowhere 
 Full speed runaway train 

 We won’t ever change 
 We belong on the open range 
 Let’s take the long way ‘round 
 We’re not lost, we don’t want to be found

 There is no out running time 
 Only running for our lives 

 Before our youth has faded 
 We made our escape 
 When there is nowhere to go 
 Then we’re going nowhere 
 Full speed runaway train We’re going nowhere fast 
 We’re going nowhere fast 
 They say these days won’t last 
 We’re going nowhere fast 

 Before our youth has faded 
 We made our escape 
 When there is nowhere to go 
 Yeah we’re going nowhere 
 Full speed runaway train

 There is no out running time 
 Only running for our lives

Tumbleweed 04:05

Your hair has gotten longer 
 Haven’t seen you since October 
 You look a little older, a little wiser for the wear 
 The bags under your eyes 
 That kept you up every night
 When I look between the lines I will find you there 

 One of these days 
 One of these days you’ll settle down 
 Head back to your home town and make amends 
 One of these days 
 One of these days you’ll have to learn 
 A bridge don’t have to burn to get ahead 
 One of these days you’ll come around 
 One of these days you’ll settle down

 I watch you stumble by 
 Playing catch-up with your life 
 The timing’s never right 
 You look like a ghost 
 You look like you have been there and back again 
 We used to be good friends but the chase gets old 

 One of these days 
 One of these days you’ll settle down 
 Head back to your home town and make amends 
 One of these days 
 One of these days you’ll have to learn 
 A bridge don’t have to burn to get ahead 
 One of these days you’ll come around 
 One of these days you’ll settle down A tumbleweed is gonna tumble 
 Everyone has a struggle 
 But one of these days you’ll get your head on straight 
 Hope it’s not too late

 One of these days 
 One of these days you’ll settle down 
 Head back to your home town and make amends 
 One of these days 
 One of these days you’ll have to learn 
 A bridge don’t have to burn to get ahead 
 One of these days you’ll come around 
 One of these days you’ll come around
 One of these days you’ll come around
 One of these days you’ll settle down
