Track Lyrics

Solemn Oath Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Maybe I should go back, I'm gonna think about that
A little bit more like I did before, miserable and mad
This one kicks like a mule, plays me for a fool, breaks all the rules
It's doing it wrong, but it's moving along, can be very cruel
Right in the door, I'm tired, I'm sore
Nary a hi, no welcome home
Yet the minute I'm up, it's pissing me off
I was yelling so loud last night I thought the cops would surely come
[Verse 2]
Six or six-two-five, should keep me alive, keep me alive
Now do a little turn, careful with your words, everything is fine
But I'm lucky as fuck, it still ain't enough, sick to my gut, having to say
You sit here 'til the coast is clear, I'll send for you one day
[Hook]
I shouldn't repeat it, this sounds ridiculous
And I swore a solemn oath
Never to admit it's the harsh tones of criticism seep in
To my bones
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Look what I did, I'm happy with it
Aren't you happy for me?
I love you so much, I'm gonna throw up, watch my stuff
Hold this for me please
Try not to sound bitter or to fondly remember
The dark times of the past
Like I don't deserve it or I'm not even worth it, I can do
This or that, this or that

Lying Under Oak Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Punch your ticket, get your kicks on the early bus out
Checkered past, planning a future, it's lonely roaming around
Secretly having a fling with a single mom
Hey, you're on a good one
Write sometime or call sometime when you're drunk
[Verse 2]
Let me put you up, put you up in the guest house
We got a great couch I found sitting on the sidewalk
One of these days, one day, you're really gonna need someone
And things get bad with no companion to complain on
[Chorus]
Keep to the roads and the stars in the sky
Lean under oaks when your legs are tired
When they're tired
[Verse 3]
It's all fixed, I sent your tickets but they came back
I had you on the AMTRAK
I thought you might like, I thought you might like that
Felt so long, right or wrong, it wouldn't be so bad
Just keep it on a straight path, get right back
Let me know where you're at
[Chorus]
Keep to the roads and the stars in the sky
Sleep under oaks if your legs get tired
Keep to the roads and the stars in the sky
Lean under oaks when your legs get tired
When they're tired
[Outro]
Let me put you up, put you up
Let me put you up, put you up
Let me put you up, put you up
Let me put you up, put you up
