Steady Now
Steady now baby, steady now
Quit banging there on my door
I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t want to
Just have you right here on this floor
It’s been years since I found you put my arms around you
And we twisted our limbs into dreams
Did our best to keep up with that wild loving cup
Till we both ran out of steam
Our love ran out of steam
Steady Now
Steady now lady, steady now
Quit jabbering outside my door
I used to jangle them keys like a dog scratching fleas
I ain’t jangling keys anymore
I spent ten thousand days like a runaway slave
Living wild and toxic in style
Go ahead and get pissed
I don’t mean it as a diss
I need sleep for a little while
Let me sleep for a little while
Steady now
Steady now, mermaid, steady now
Are you swimming away from my door?
Did I forget to feed you?
Do you know that I need you?
Do I kneel on linoleum floor?
I know you can’t be tamed, and I ain’t ashamed
To beg you for a goddamn bone
I quit jangling keys and I told her to leave
Still I wait at your empty throne
Must I wait at your empty throne?
Steady now

Shaky Jesus - Acoustic

Shaky Jesus
She was the hell
The only hell her mama ever raised
In the heat of the September haze
In the cold suburban sprawl
She kissed my eyes
She kissed my eyes awake
She taught me focus and taught me how to praise
Like some holy Adderall
I come when she calls
We were so high
Throwing money in the offering plate
For a second we set the shaking straight
By that fountain at the mall
I come when she calls
If Jesus loves me now
Can he save my little sermon somehow
Because I found a little promised land
And I’m reaching out to take her hand and drown
If Jesus loves me now
She used to hang
She used to hang him on a chain around her throat
Like a promissory note
Like a bible in a drawer
She would stay closed
So heaven help me to turn her into clay
Make us stay on our knees Jesus help us pray
Make her come when I call
She always came when you called
If Jesus loves me now
Can he save my little sermon somehow
Because I found a little promised land
And I’m reaching out to take her hand and drown
If Jesus loves me now
Holy Holy Holy
I come when she calls
She always came when you called

Lemon Hill
I went down to Lemon Hill
Dirty water and a summer thrill
Smoked my eyes dry and drank my fill
I went down to Lemon Hill
It took long enough to get strong enough on Lemon Hill
You and me on Lemon Hill
To the muddy river where we drank our fill
I squeezed my guts out until they spilled on
you and me down on Lemon Hill
Wandering round like a brain dead dog with nowhere to go
20 years in the wilderness it’s getting old
I went down to lemon Hill
To the muddy river where I drank my fill
We squeezed the juice had our one last thrill
I ain’t going back to Lemon Hill
It took long enough to get strong enough on Lemon Hill

Mother’s Day
It was Mother’s Day
When you came clean
We let the car run under the overpass like when we were teens
You said it ground you down
You said you’d made a mess
You said your world was gray
And the kids were the only color that was left
I think i spoke too soon
I always hate it when you cry
I should’ve told you then what i’m writing now
It kept me up all night
You’re gonna be fine
Mother’s Day comes and goes
Summer will be here soon
To chase the chill away
To chase regret out with the ghosts
You’re gonna be fine
Give it some time you’ll see
You’ll have those east coast springs
3 head strong kids
You’ll have jesus
And you’ll have me
You’re gonna be fine
It was a parking lot
Near that south carolina dive
I came unglued
I freaked you out
Let the bees out of the hive
I let it go to long
Long past the point of fun
I hadn’t gotten out of my system yet
I said i’d move home, that i was done
I think I spoke too soon
I always hate to make you cry
Like on mother’s day, when you told me again
Folks like us are never satisfied
But we’re gonna be fine
Just like you told me before
I can pick back up and get to work
I can walk right out the door
We’re gonna be fine
It took Carolina to see
We’ll have heads like hives
We’ll have mother’s day
So thank your jesus for the bees
We’re gonna be fine
