The Bottle’s Never Empty
Since I can’t have a beer without thinkin’
Who I’d like to fight
I’ll catch up on some news and probably
Stay in for the night
If I kept a bottle, honey,
For every one I drowned
You’d wonder how a body could even
Up and walk around
Hail! Heaven is a place you drink for free
No one remembers the things you said
And you wake up feelin clean
Hail! Heaven is a place you drink for free
All the things you said you’d do are done
And the bottle’s never empty
I can’t have a drink without thinkin’
Who I’d like to forget
I know he’s in there somewhere
Waitin for me to slip
Lord, he left me years ago
And he ain’t come back yet
That liquor loves his mem’ry
Even if it’s all we get
Hail! Heaven is a place you drink for free
No one remembers the things you said
And you wake up feelin clean
Hail! Heaven is a place you drink for free
All the things you said you’d do are done
And the bottle’s never empty
Since I can’t have a beer without thinkin
Who I’d like to ____
I shouldn’t grab a cold one
I’ll end up lovestruck
If I had a lover, Lord, I know it wouldn’t help
So don’t you worry, Mama,
I’ll screw the lid on tight
And love myself
Hail! Heaven is a place you drink for free
No one remembers the things you said
And you wake up feelin clean
Hail! Heaven is a place you drink for free
All the things you said you’d do are done
And the bottle’s never empty
(Those things you said you’d become
Ain’t headed for the cemetary
All that you’ve been runnin from
is really dead and gone
And the bottle’s never empty
No, the bottle’s never empty!)
SongBirdies
Lay down your head, try to get it right
Maybe there’s somethin’ else out there
Maybe just another way down
You’re gonna hold onto somethin’
Even if it brings you down
Lay down your head, honey
Ain’t you tired of the mess?
Lay down your head and rest
Oooohooohoohooohooohooohooohooo-oooh,
Ooohoohoooo
Somethin tells me you, darlin
You can’t see the sun,
Well it still comes
Heaven every time it dawns
Reach out your hands you can feel the warmth
Reach out your hands, honey
Ain’t you tired of the load?
Lay down your burden low
Well, the world may bring you all the way to your knees
BaadaaDee
But the Light will lift you
If you hear them SongBirdies
Playin above your head, better listen in
They’re singing “Hallelujah! Let love in!”
If you wanna Let Love
Join in
Join on in, honey
Can’t you hear that chorus ring?
Aw, it’s ringin out your name
SHOOT EM UP
Well I shook off the dust
And lay down my weapon
A shadow come across
To bury the settin sun
’Cause Heaven’d seen what I’d done
See I’d heard all about them
Boys that they call
With them sharp shootin’ rifles
They’re carryin’ the law
Guess there ain’t enough for us all
So shoot em up, baby
Oh, shoot em all down
Shoot em up, baby
Oh, you can’t save em now
Well the sign on the church door
Says, “Any Shall Pass”
With the Lord as his shepherd,
A man can rest at last
God will forgive his past
So shoot em up, baby
Oh, shoot em all down
Shoot em up, baby
Oh, you can’t save em now
Somethin’ it shakes near the ground and it’s loaded
Somethin’ to die for
Somthin’ to give
It haunts me today
From a long time ago
I can’t close my eyes tightly
With them wretched ghosts
Beggin me to let them go
But I shoot em up, baby
Oh, I shoot em all down
I shoot em up, baby
Oh, can’t save em now
No, can’t save em now
