Last Exit to Eden
Amanda Marshall
The walls are thin here in this motel room
Some fool is raging overhead
He's preaching the gospel according to
Johnnie Walker Red
Four hundred miles talking to myself
Me and your memory end up here
I tell myself I'm gonna be alright
But it's still not clear
Jonas & Ezekial
Indigo Girls
Now when I was young my people taught me well
Give back what you take or you'll go to hell
It's not the devil's land you know it's not that kind
Every devil I meet becomes a friend of mine
Every devil I meet is an angel in disguise
I’m An Animal
Neko Case
Pick up that rock,
tread through that lake
I do my best,
But I'm made of mistakes.
Yes there are things I'm still quite sure of.
I love you this hour
This hour today
And heaven will smell like the airport,
but I may never get there to prove it
Street Light Halos
Jeffrey Foucault
Goodbye, I'm leaving
This house and this country for home
And a heart full and aching with wonder
To reap every seed I have sown
Dust Bowl Dance
Mumford & Sons
There will come a time I will look in your eye,
You will pray to the God that you always denied,
The I'll go out back and I'll get my gun,
I'll say, "You haven't met me, I am the only son"
Fox Confessor Brings the Flood
Neko Case
Driving home I see those flooded fields
How can people not know what beauty this is
I've taken it for granted my whole life
Since the day I was born
O Death
Jen Titus
Oh, Death, оh Death, oh Death,
Won't you spare me over til another year
But what is this, that I cant see
with ice cold hands taking hold of me
When God is gone and the Devil takes hold,
who will have mercy on your soul
Get Off My Back
Bryan Adams
Well you think that you can take me on
You must be crazy
There ain't a single thing you've done
That's gonna phase me
Dreaming Man
Neko Case
I'm a dreaming man, yes that's my problem
I can't tell when I'm not being real
In the meadow dusk I park my Aerostar
With a loaded gun and sweet dreams of you
Ghost Repeater
Jeffrey Foucault
And the girl I loved once
Came to me last night
In a dream with a secret to tell
She whispered close
Can't you hear the ocean?
As she leaned her ear against a shotgun shell
One of Us is Gonna Die Young
The Ark
And don’t you take this the wrong way
I’m not looking for a way to replace what love can give
Cause you can’t do that
I’m only saying that where I come from
People find it very fashionable
to burn like a flame, never get tame
Grown-up and lame
Yeah, yeah
I’m a Mountain
Sarah Harmer
Well it’s just that way when you get hurt
And the things you need you’re made to work
You must decide if you will die or grow
Kind of Perfect
Kacy Crowley
There was never a point in our love
That I didn't love you
Not a point in our love
I always did, I always will, I always do, love you still
I always would, how could I not?
Just look at us baby
We're kind of perfect
Down to Nowhere
Thea Gilmore
Well I am going down to nowhere
Its not too far from here
The rain'll be running rings
Around this tin pot cavalier
And there are skeletons and wastrels
As far as the eye can see
So if you want me baby
Then nowhere's where I'll be
Spark
Over the Rhine
Obsessions with self-preservation
Faded when I threw my fear away
It's not a thing you can imagine
You either lose your fear
Or spend your life with one foot in the grave
The Thief
Sarah Harmer
Walking into every room
In the aftermath the place felt haunted
By all the things we didn’t do
And the memory of what we wanted
Slowed it down below a waltz
Where there was hardly any sway or grace left
It was so slow you could see all my faults
Every solitary step and misstep
Down to the River to Pray
Alison Krauss
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the robe and crown?
Good Lord show me the way
Mystery
Indigo Girls
Each time you'd pull down the driveway
I wasn't sure when I would see you again
Yours was a twisted blind sided highway
No matter which road you took then
By Way of Sorrow
Cry Cry Cry
You've been taken by the wind
You have known the kiss of sorrow
Doors that would not take you in
Outcast and a stranger
You have come by way of sorrow
You have come by way of tears
But you'll reach your destiny
Meant to find you all these years
Hiding My Heart
Adele
I woke up feeling heavy hearted
I'm going back to where I started
The morning rain, the morning rain
Although I wish that you were here
That same old road that brought you here
Is calling me home, It's calling me home
Mad Season
Matchbox Twenty
I feel stupid - but I know it won't last for long
I've been guessing - and I coulda been guessin' wrong
You don't know me now
I kinda thought that you should somehow
Does that whole mad season got ya down?
Well I feel stupid, but it's something that comes and goes
I've been changin' - I think it's funny how no one knows
We don't talk about the little things that we do without
When that old mad season comes around
I’m Not Down
Thea Gilmore
So you rock around and think that you're the toughest
In the world, the whole wide world
But you're streets away from where it gets the roughest
You ain't been there, oh
Well, I've been beat up, I've been thrown out
But I'm not down, I'm not down
I've been shown up but I've grown up
I'm not down, I'm not down.
Waiting in the Weeds
The Eagles
And I've been waiting in the weeds
Waiting for my time to come around again and
Hope is floating on the breeze
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
I've been keepin' to myself
Knowin' that the seasons are slowly changing
Even though you're with somebody else
He'll never love you like I do
Please Sister
The Cardigans
So if it’s true, that love will never die
Then why do the lovers work so hard
To stay alive
You Wouldn’t Like Me
Tegan and Sara
There's nothing to live for when I'm sleeping alone
And I wash the windows outside in hopes that the glare will bring you around
I- I feel like I wouldn't like me if I met me
I- I feel like you wouldn't like me if you met me
So don't you worry there's still time
Don't you worry there's still time
Born
Over the Rhine
We've seen the landfill rainbow
We've seen the junkyard of love
Baby it's no place for you and me
This Is My Town
Seanan McGuire
We live in the sight of the mountain;
We live in the shade of the tree.
We trade today for tomorrow,
Making bets on destiny
We take our turns on the altar.
We take our wages in sin.
We build our homes on the water,
And wonder why the flood rolls in
You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive
Brad Paisley
In the deep dark hills of eastern Kentucky
That's the place where I trace my bloodline
And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone
You will never leave Harlan alive
