Your Available Heart
Bryan Tess

i gotta mugshot face/and beer soaked breath
i aint much of a bargain/or even a threat
to rentin the space/in your available heart
but if you were to let me/it wont get torn apart
 
i gotta broken down car/and a boarded up flat
i hear you like dogs/but all i gots this cat
my jobs a joke/its just to make ends meet
i aint got much/to sweep you off your feet
but if i can rent the space/in your available heart
you can always be certain/it wont get torn apart
 
you say i aint your type/but what type is that
when all your type/left your love fall flat
you should change your tune/sing a new song
and if you sing with me/you won't go wrong
 
i know i ain't perfect/but neither are you
and i might be ugly/but my love is true
so let me rent the space/in your available heart
and you can be certain/it won't get torn apart

 

Cold Snap
Clementine

It's a cold snap
In the shoulder season
A bitch slap
Of a wind is freezin
No-tell motel
Hangin out by the door
I'd lie and say I ain't been here before

Young men waitin on the blacktop
Old men comin for the whistlestop
Snow plow churnin up the snapshots of the last seen
Why is the light so mean?

Old man lookin for another scheme
Young girl lookin for another dream or
Maybe not dreamin
Maybe just hangin around
My mind is livin on the darker side of town.

How can I worry 'bout lonesome
When my body is livin in babylon
And the knock on the door is an atom bomb?
What drives men on?

I'm empty again on the chopping blockz
Sun is shinin it's freakin me out
In the shoulder season it should burn out
Why won't the light burn out?
Why won't the light burn out?
This cold snap is wearin me out

How can I worry bout lonesome
When my body is livin in babylon
And the knock on the door is an atom bomb?
What drives men on?

My hope is hung on the handle of the door
No-tell motel don't disturb anymore
It's the shoulder season
I ain't been here before

 

My Father's Son (A Country Man)
Ashley Godfrey

Dust hangs heavy in the air
'Cross miles of road that go nowhere
Been no decent rain in years
Just getting by on sweat and tears

In sunburnt silence dreams run dry
Underneath these endless skies
Where fences run like scarred remains
Through memories of better days

Chorus:

It can be hard
It can leave you broken
But it's defined
By our pride, our passion
It reminds me who I am
It's all I've ever been


And my body aches from living
Trying hard and always giving
Just doing the best I can
Because I am...

A country man.

I fight to turn a living
On this land so unforgiving
Worn out hands long had enough
This weary body's seen it tough

Trailing cattle, cropping fields
Driving trucks on borrowed wheels
Fixing diesels long since died
Bringing paydirt back to life

[Chrous]

[Bridge]

I cast my shadow on this land
As sweat falls from these dirty hands
The challenge of this land I love
And I'll never give it up

[Chorus]
