22 Blues
From James Coates (2010)
Time
How you take it all away
You treat me worse than the ocean treats
A ship without the sails
Time
Won't you leave me where I lay
Time
You give me reason to fail
Oh, time
How you take it all away
Time
How I'm fearful of your
Everlasting touch
Time
How you make me miss my
Younger days so much
Time
Oh, I think I'll always
End up on the run
But the war's already won
Oh, time
How your work is never done
Time
How you tear it all apart
You don't bother with the skin and bones
You shoot straight to my heart
Time
Won't you leave me where I lay
'Cause I'm wearing the shackles
From the start
Oh, time
How you take it all away
Time
How I'm fearful of your
Everlasting touch
Time
How you make me miss my
Younger days so much
Time
Oh, I think I'll always
End up on the run
But the war's already
Yeah, the war's already won
Oh, time
How your work is never done
Oh, time
How your work is never done

The American
From One Last Ride (2020)
I am the American
Trying to find my place
In this world
I'm gonna buy me
A nice foreign car
I'm gonna meet me
A nice foreign girl
I'm gonna take up
Reading for once
Was gonna travel
But I ran out of funds
I am the American
Traveling down the Autoban
I close my eyes and drive
As fast as I want
No more sirens
Calling me to shore
Ain't gonna lay
With those demons anymore
I'm gonna take up
Living for a change
I tried dying
But it just felt the same
I am the American
And I'm searching
For something
That I don't think
I'm ever gonna get to find
Searching for the man
That I left behind
And I'm searching
For something
That I don't think
I'm ever gonna get to see
Searching for the man

Trying to find my place

Gaze upon things
That I've never really seen

Chateau Marmont
From James Coates (2010)
There's a bar down the street
Where people go to cry
There's a school down the road
Where the kids learn how to lie
Yeah, they teach them all they know
But that ain't where I
Really wanna go
I wanna meet you, babe
At the Chateau Marmont
I wanna love you, babe
In the hotel suite
I'm gonna meet you, babe
We're gonna drink
And we're gonna eat
And we're never ever
Gonna let go
At the Chateau
There's a place in my heart
Where you're always gonna live
After I left you standing
Out on your own
It's the least that I could give
It's a place nobody knows
But that I ain't where I
Really wanna go
I wanna meet you, babe
At the Chateau Marmont
I wanna love you, babe
In the hotel suite
I'm gonna meet you, babe
We're gonna drink
And we're gonna eat
As we let our lights
Burn out slow

Standing
Out on the backstreets
Waiting for the
Midnight to end
Take me
However you want me
As a lover
Or only a friend
I've been waiting
On a sunny day

And I can't get away

Known to be true

Out on the backstreets
Waiting for the
Daylight to come
Take me
Wherever you want to
'Cause I don't know
What I've been running from
I've been waiting
For a guiding light
I ain't got no money
And I ain't got no fight

Flower Girl
From One Last Ride (2020)
Wake up, Princess
It's time to drive
To Washington County
Where they're shovelin' coal
Mississippi never
Seemed so wide
'Til you try to go there
With a sorrowful soul
I never meant to
Put it on you
You were the one thing
That held us together
I know we lied
To the whole
Entire world
But you're always
Gonna be my
Flower girl
So I drop you off
At the office
Where she works
She took the day shift
So she could
Meet us here
I'm not so bitter
As I used to be
But I get a little sour
Whenever she's near
I never meant to
Put it on you
You were the one thing
That held us together
Out in the sea
There's some
Beautiful pearls
But you're always
Gonna be my
Flower girl
After the fall
My heart wasn't
As bad as it felt
I'm never in love
With the aces
I always get dealt
From what I recall
The start was
As bad as the end
The start was
As bad as the end
So I got the pictures
From your graduation
I waited by the mailbox
For hours on end
I've never felt
So sunken with tears
'Cause it's still the same
After all of these years
I never meant to
Put it on you
You were the one thing
That held us together
I know we lied
To the whole
Entire world
But you're always
Gonna be my

If You Should Ever Leave Me
From Land of Fame and Glory (2012)
If you should ever leave me
Will you think of me in Heaven
As you look back on your life
Will you picture my face
If you should feel lonesome
Then you can come and
Stay at my new place
If you should ever leave me
If you should ever leave me
If you should go away
If you should ever depart
From the body in which
Your soul resides
Just hang onto your heart
Leave your anger
And your pride
It's a shame that I can
Only tell you now
All those things that I just
Couldn't say somehow

From Land of Fame and Glory (2012)
Well, I come from the land
Of fame and glory
Yeah, everybody knows my
Name and my story
I'm an old-fashioned star
Of the silver screen
Spent by days in a
Black limousine
Living my whole life
Just like it was a game

Well, I come from the land
Of hopes and dreams
Where everybody's smilin'

Buyin' drinks and throwin'
Money around
Livin' my whole life
Like time was standin' still
'Cause I'm searching
For the glory and fame
I used to have me
A wife and some kids
A little house
Down the road
I spent my Sundays
Praying to God
But now He's just
Another person
That I used to know
Before I moved up
To the hills of Hollywood
Where everybody's smilin'
But there ain't nothin' good
You're either a puppet
Or you're pullin'
On the strings
Ain't no sittin' on the fence
You can sell 'em your soul
Or they can take it in court
I'm standin' on the top
Of a mountain
But I'm comin' up short

For the glory and fame
Well, I come from the land
Of fame and glory

Love No More

Slow
As the dawn comes
From the night
Our two hearts will fight
'Til one gives way
And quick
As that last breath
Left my lungs
The very song you sung
Took the next one away
Oh, and you
If you teach me how to
Love you right
Then I'll love you tonight
For sure
But if you never tell me
Then it's love no more
Strange
As this whole wide
World may seem
It means the world to me
That you never fall
And dumb
Dumb as my luck
May get
I'm still lucky I met
You at all
Oh, and you
If you really wanna
Show me how
Then I'll love you now
You know
But if you never tell me
Then it's love let go
Oh, and you
If you really wanna
Show me how

No Way Out
From James Coates (2010)
I took her out
To dinner last week
And I asked her 'bout
The bruise upon her cheek
She said it's the mark
Of a man
That she's always
Gonna love
'Cause once you
Dig that hole
There's no way out
And it killed me
The way she ignored me
So I pretended
That she adored me
And I asked her
If I could give her
Everything that I had
And she said:
I wanna take you home
I wanna make you all my own
I wanna get you all alone
So bad
But you've got
Nothing for me
Anymore
You've got
Nothing for me
Anymore
He treats her like
He's paying her for love
He rings his bell and in
She flies just like a dove
She says he
Takes her places
That she's never
Been before
But each time I speak
His name, she swallows
And she cries
And she said:
I wanna take you home
I wanna make you all my own
I wanna get you all alone
So bad
I wanna be your companion
I really wanna be your friend
I wanna stand beside you
As they stone you until the end
Until the very end
But you've got
Nothing for me
Anymore
You've got
Nothing for me

Something to ease my mind

This Town
From One Last Ride (2020)
What am I gonna do
If I ever make it outta this town
Will you turn me loose on this world
Watch me burn it to the ground
What am I gonna do
If I'm ever out there on my own
Will I make my way, today or tomorrow
Some people were just made to ramble
And some of us were made to run
You can steal and you can gamble
Like a slave to the smoking gun
Buck for buck and punch for punch
I've been bruisin' like a dusty ol' peach
Show me wisdom, show me truth
Show me things that this life don't teach
'Cause I've been wonderin'
Since the day I was born
If I could make it
Through this life on my own
Black leather, keep me safe from the pavement
Dark glasses from the light that's shown
I wanna make my mark on the highway
So you'll remember me when I'm not around
From California to San Antone
If I ever make it outta this town
What am I gonna do
If I ever make it outta this town
Will you turn me loose on this world
Watch me burn it to the ground
What am I gonna do
If I'm ever out there on my own
Will I make my way, today or tomorrow
Angels above
Follow me on my path
And lift from my shoulders
The weight of this world
'Cause I have felt sorrow
Loneliness and pain
But tomorrow I'll wake
In the morning again
Some people were just made to ramble
But, baby, I was born to fly
I'm gonna run 'til my legs give out
And I'll be runnin' on the day that I die
Ain't nobody gonna hold me up
Ain't nobody gonna slow me down
I'm a man on a mission, a man possessed
If I ever make it outta this town
What am I gonna do
If I ever make it outta this town
Will you turn me loose on this world
Watch me burn it to the ground

Won't you keep me

Fade away

Tell you just

Before the breath
Slips outta
My throat
You saved me then
And you're saving me now
So don't try
And pull me up
When I'm slippin'
On down the slope
Let me tell you
That I love you
Though I'm sure
You already knew
And let me kiss you

Held together

To haunt your hallway
To bring you comfort
In your time of pain

One Last Ride
From One Last Ride (2020)
Sometimes it feels like I'm sinking
To the bottom of the ocean
With the devil's very claws
In my back
I've never tried a drink of whiskey
But as this water surrounds me
I think, maybe it's whiskey
That I lack
Well, I've been fighting for so long
For something that's so wrong
Yeah, I've been wounded
By my pride
So, Lord
Could you please afford me
One last ride
I'm walking through the streets of town
Like the crazy king of nothing
That I am
When there's no one else around
I'm beggin' on my bruised-up knees
Is there a way for me to get back
Where I was
Before these demons dragged me down
Well, I started at the bottom
And I conquered the summit
But now I'm just choking
On the tide
So, Lord
Could you please afford me
One last ride
Well, I've begged, borrowed and burned
Every single, stupid lesson
That I never really
Took the time to learn
And now I'm sleepin' with my
Ball-and-chain
Wishing I could find a better way
For me to take away my pain
If you're born to your mother
And you die in the gutter
Then who really knows
How hard you tried?
So, Lord
Could you please afford me
Yes, Lord
Could you please afford me
Oh, my Lord
Could you please afford me
One last ride

Searching for Tomorrow
From Land of Fame and Glory (2012)
I've got one more light
That I haven't burned out
One more candle with wax
Around the wick
I've got one more favor
That I haven't used yet
One more heartbeat
One more breath
I've been searching for tomorrow
But I only found today
I thought I held a moment
But I let it slip away
There's money I could borrow
But it's a price I'll never pay
'Cause no one gets out alive
And nobody gets away
Searching for tomorrow
I had to sleep at a truck stop
So I could make it there safe
To my little southern home
Off of exit 28
I had to look with my heart
'Cause my eyes couldn't see
That she's always been down there
Just a-waitin' on me
I've been searching for tomorrow
But I only found today
I thought I held a moment
But I let it slip away
There's money I could borrow
But it's a price I'll never pay
'Cause no one gets out alive
And nobody gets away
Searching for tomorrow
Searching for tomorrow
Searching for tomorrow
Searching for tomorrow
It's never gonna come
You're never gonna find it
It's never gonna come
You're never gonna find it
Searching for tomorrow
It's never gonna come
You're never gonna find it
It's never gonna come
You're never gonna find it
Searching for tomorrow
It's never gonna come
You're never gonna find it
It's never gonna come
You're never gonna find it
Searching for tomorrow

Union Pacific
From Land of Fame and Glory (2012)
Union Pacific
Won't you take me away
To the place where I can cry
No more tears
Union Pacific
Won't you send me there today
Let me leave behind my hopes
And all my fears
Won't you take me to the place
Where my body and my soul
Can feel no more pain
On that big, black
Union Pacific train
Union Pacific
Won't you only be my friend
Or will my lonesome heart
Be denied
Union Pacific
I know that you'll be back again
Every ocean
Has its tide
Won't you take me to the place
Where I cannot feel lonesome
Not once again
On that big, black
Union Pacific train
Won't you take me to the place
Where I am really loved
Where my heart isn't treated
Like a toy
Won't you take me to the place
Where I can really feel
Instead of sadness
Only joy
Won't you take me to the place
Where I am really clean
Where I will not have to shower
In despair
Won't you take me to the place
Where I am really free
Where I will not be abandoned
Oh, big, black train
Union Pacific train
Big, black train
Union Pacific train
Won't you lead me to the promised land
