Long Ride
Take me for a long ride, I don't want to get off
'Cus you're my carnival and the last of my good luck
As long as there's wheels on this black truck
We can still drive around and talk about love
How you know it's love
You always ask, why do I smile
Just looking at you, well you melt my pride
Isn't it always in the palm of your hand
Just before you realize
This is gonna be a long ride
A long ride, a long ride
Makes me want to take a long ride
So take me, in your arms and don't let go
I want to be this close, and wrapped around your glow
In a state like this, you know, it ain't even fair
To make it feel so good, makes me want to take a long ride

Under My Wheels
Theres nothing you can't learn, unless you tell yourself
That a soul's just here to burn
And waste his time on earth, like an old dying shell
I'm under my wheels
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, I'm under my wheels
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, I'm under my wheels
I'm under my, I'm under my
If you catch the right spark, and make your own deal
You might end up on your own highlight reel
Best by far, of life's rewards, is self respect, I guess I better start
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, I'm under my wheels
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, I'm under my wheels
I'm under my, I'm under my wheels
Once upon a time, in the last few years, I started to disappear
I could see myself in the rear view mirror
The wheels were rolling me over
I'm under my wheels

Paper Money
Honey bun in a broken box
I used to love you quite a lot
Every day that a dollar is true
In the cafeteria at school
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Soda can for a busted pipe
You must have saved, you must have, wrecked my life
I got no one but myself to blame
I gave up at a ripe young age
There's a rider on this, there's a lot riding on this
Hundred dollar bills of sadness, what have I got to lose?
Paper money, Paper money
Money to burn, Paper money
Dog ears in a paper back book
Finally got my life on this paper track
Then I got my slap in the face
Words finish second place
There's a rider on this, there's a lot riding on this
Hundred dollar bills of sadness, What have I got to lose?
Another empty shoe
Paper money, Paper money
Money to burn, Paper Money...

Arizona
Arizona on a long thin road
The sun was rising on me, you know you know
There was nothing but sky and plains
Like cotton woods in Spain
It always takes a car somehow
You drive North and I'll walk South, straight to the couch
I tripped and fell before I ever found my way
You know I'll be back, to you someday
I know, I know, I know, you're a half a world away
Arizona, have mercy, take me down a dirt road
I know, I know, that I'll never be the same
Arizona, have mercy, Arizona
Things will change, chains will grow
Roots are roots, home is home
Long before I came back to the snow
I know, I know, I know, you're a half a world away
Arizona, have mercy, take me down a dirt road
I know, I know, that I'll never be the same
Arizona, have mercy, Arizona
Things will change, chains will grow
Roots are roots, home is home
Long before I came back to the snow
I know, I know, I know, you're a half a world away
Arizona, have mercy, take me down a dirt road
I know, I know, that I'll never be the same
Arizona, have mercy, Arizona

Lost Art
You had me, on the end of a string
I would have been, your do anything
Castles of sand, don't wash away
I must have been, on the next wave
If ever these oceans should part
It's gonna take a miracle to fix these hearts
Breaking up is a lost art
Breaking up is a lost art
Secrets are demons, and they come by the pound
When it comes to confession, we don't make a sound
Just when the coast was clear
Babe you pulled a rabbit out and it's my fear
I guess it's all uphill from here
If ever these oceans should part
It's gonna take a miracle to fix these hearts
Breaking up is a lost art
Breaking up is a lost art

When the Rain Comes
I dont want our last words, to be on a phone
We should be somewhere, just talking alone
Up on a high roof, just before dusk
The wind through the willows, the sun through the dust
When the rain comes
I hope that your car is a prince
The way that life goes
You've got to be careful in every step
I've been watching the clouds roll in
Didn't we promise, I'll see you again
So if you should happen, to have enough time
Call me where you are, and baby don't drive
When the rain comes
I hope that the roads aren't too slick
The way that life goes
You've got to be careful in every step
There's an old guitar wailing on a scratched 45
It's just you and me babe, on a wrap around drive
Who's gonna stop us? No one but time
The wind will out live us, with the fruit from the vine
When the rain comes, I hope that your car is a prince
The way that life goes, you've got to be careful for
When the rain comes I hope that the roads aren't too slick
The way that life goes, you've got to be careful in every step
