WORDS AND MUSIC BY: Darrell Scott Dad never started drinking ‘til he was thirty-five And once he found the power He made up for his lost time Go outside and catch a cricket, then unplug the phone Said their singing kept him company When we’d leave him alone Those were days of feeling awkward, Being seventeen and such Hoping I could find some comfort In a deacon’s daughter’s touch I’d spend time out in the desert Feeling lonely with a friend And we’d talk about leaving But it was years before we did Oh the time moves slow And you can’t go where you want to go But, oh the time slips away Day after day, day after day Day after day Well I found myself a genie Said she’s grant a wish for me And all I had to do was love her Lyrics Endlessly So I asked my dad about it and he said Son, life’s a game we play So I closed my eyes, held her and said Take me away Let’s live in a lighthouse on the Maritime shore And we’ll hang a wreath to loneliness Upon our lighthouse door But we never made the ocean, she never followed through She said the day she left You know, I really thought you knew Well I went back home to see my dad And I walked through the door To his photographs of Hank and Johnny Lying on the floor Hank had a hole shot through his mouth And Johnny in the head There were crickets in hallway And Dad awake in bed He was sitting in the darkness With just a cigarette light Said he went a little crazy Sometime in the night I never asked him about the pictures Though it was clear to me He shot ‘em for the life And the man he wouldn’t be

WORDS AND MUSIC BY: BILL MALLONEE come in here and have a taste yeah what's one more hopeless case when your short wave dies and there's no one to listen and the stars going cold in your solar system well her lips were red and her hair was brown yeah feeling like the luckiest kids in town she said "i'll follow you boy to the ends of the earth" said "i'm not going that far for what it's worth" and i really love to see you like this the moonlight dripping off your fingertips off your fingertips well put all your love where it hurts the most expect a little visit from the Holy Ghost but when your short wave dies and there's no one to listen the stars going cold in your solar system
