Letters
Stanford Road 2014
Mama brought the devil home
Guess I was six or seven
Man was he tall in his boots with his hat on
Mama was in heaven
But devil he was with a chill in his eye
and his glass runnin' dry of some cheap southern rye
(there was just no pleasin')
I could tell you it's better in unwritten letters I ain't gonna send
But Mama I've grown up
Just like you
Oh Mama I've grown up
Just like you
(There's just no pleasin')
You said you couldn't help it
You said he needed you
But the eyes of a child can see more than you know
and those pictures still tear at my mind don't ya know
Oh i'll tell you it's better in unwritten letters I ain't gonna send
Cos Mama I've grown up
Just like you
Yeah Mama I've grown up
Just like you
---- And all of these years I been runnin' away
keeping time by myself cos I didn't deserve...
Now I've found me a man and he's tall in his boots
He's the devil
But what can I do!---
Shall I tell you it's better in unwritten letters I ain't gonna send
But Mama I've grown up
Just like you
Yeah Mama I've grown up
Just like you
Yeah Mama I've grown up
Just like you
(and there's no pleasin')
Him.

So Wrong
Stanford Road 2014
Everyone is guessing at the answer
It's a question no one wants to ask
Really can't believe that there's no mystery
Didn't think that you and me would last
When we first walked out together
There were fireworks.
Reckon that the devil even threw us a black look
But, Oh oh they're so wrong.
So we might look a little odd
Together as a two
You in dirty ripped up jeans
And you in satin shoes
But put that flower in my hair
And sing to me your songs
And I won't care what people say
Cos you and me ain't wrong
Oh oh they're so wrong
Oh oh they're so wrong
It's been nearly seven years and I still can't quite believe
That we have been so great together and that you didn't leave when I said......
Oh oh you're so wrong
Oh oh you're so wrong
Sometimes when that lightning strikes the odds get evened out
And even when the morning comes there really is no doubt
Cos when it's wrong it's always wrong but when it's right it right
And you took me to the chapel saying baby lets go set this town alight.
Oh oh, they're so wrong
Oh oh, they're so wrong
Oh oh, they're so wrong

INDEPENDENCE HIGHWAY
Stanford Road 2014
Any road will do me
any old dirt track
got this whiskey bottle
got my brand new hat
on the run from everything
gotta find my way
I'ma keep on runnin'
down independence highway
I'll go on
and on
and on
I'll go on
and on
down independence highway
Mamma said go find a job
Daddy frowned that frown
that's when I took off runnin'
before they really got me down
got a mind for dreamin'
I got a stone cold heart for war
got no time for screamin' and I
can't wait no more
I'll go on
and on
and on
I'll go on
and on
down independence highway
I'll go on
and on
and on
I'll go on
and on
down independence highway
Runnin' outta cash now
gas is runnin' low
gotta make a plan somehow
but where to start I just don't know
Empty bottles building
sickness in my gut
kinda get the feeling
this is one big daggum rutt
It goes on
and on
and on
Goes on
and on
this independence highway
It goes on
and on
and on
Goes on
and on
this independence highway
Ooo, Ooo, Ooo, Ooh
Ooo, Ooo, Ooh
Ahh, Ahh, Ahh, Ahh
Ahh, Ahh, Ahh,
I ring the operator
I gotta call collect
wanna speak to Mama
I don't know what to expect
Daddy took the phone from her
He asked me where I'm at
said he'd come and get me
to my surprise he did just that, but
He went on
and on
and on
He went on
and on
'bout independence highway
Went on
and on
and on
Went on and on 'bout independence highway
It goes on
and on
and on
Goes on
and on
this independence highway
It goes on
and on
and on
and on
and on
and on
this independence --------- highway.

FOOLS COMFORT
Stanford Road 2014
I didn't ask you here for a coffee
And I ain't gonna say that we're okay
Just take your things, but leave your keys
Cos there's nothing left to say
Your love is a fools comfort
That you let me believe
Nothing but a fools comfort
And it's making a fool out of me
I thought I knew you better
I promised to love you til I died
You stole the scene in all of my dreams
Let me build my whole life on this lie
Your love is a fools comfort
That you let me believe
Nothing but a fools comfort
And it's making a fool out of me
You had all of my heart
'Cause I, gave you it all
You tore me apart
Now I'm tired of playing your fool
And your love is a cruel comfort
That you let me believe
Nothing but a fools comfort
And it's making a fool outta me
Nothing but a fools comfort
And it's ----- made a fool outta me
