I need two cups of coffee just to wake to mind. And I don’t know where I’m going, but I’ll take my time. Cuz unrealistic expectations threw me for a loop, and now I’m questioning what I thought I knew. Everybody’s crazy and sometimes you figure out you’re more crazy than you thought you were. And now that you know what will you do? Everybody’s crazy and sometimes we figure out we’re more crazy than we thought we were. And now that we know what will we do? Well don’t look at me cuz I’m with you. After two cups of coffee I’m back in stride. With a long list a new of more thing to do that I’ve never tried. But it’s only a matter of time before I lose I’m fucking mind again. Everybody’s crazy and sometimes you figure out you’re more crazy than you thought you were. And now that you know what will you do? Everybody’s crazy and sometimes we figure out we’re more crazy than we thought we were. And now that we know what will we do? Well don’t look at us cuz we’re with you. We’re with you. We’re with you. We’re with you. (We’re all alright.) We’ll be alright.

It's been a long night, and I haven't slept in days. Waiting on you waiting on me. Things aren't as clear now as they were yesterday. But life carries on just like a song. Well, I'm not drinking tonight so one bottle of wine will do. Alone at a table for two I must admit I've skipped on the check before. But now it's you who's out the back door. Maybe it's my turn, cuz I sure deserve one. And they say you can't trust a heart that's not broken before. Well, I'm not drinking tonight so one bottle of wine will do. Alone at a table for two.

Float On 03:36
You're on your own for the first time you see You'll lean quick to swim when you're left out at sea And on your raft, you won't find me. The sharks they'll circle to get your attention A punch in the nose it'll change their direction Find your paddle and row. You'll find your way The tides only change when you're washed away And land isn't always a place to stay So Float on. Small islands they pass like change on the street A little bit of something but not what you need. The currents decide where you go The storms that you need to know. You'll find your way The tides only change when you're washed away And land isn't always a place to stay So Float on.

Just Friends 03:45
There's a bar right down the road and if you want me to I'll show you. And there's a door I'll open up cuz I was taught that way from the old school. I know that these days you have to be so careful it hurts my heart that you must be so fearful of men. And that's the way it's always been, but I sear I only wanted to be your friend baby I swear, I know there's a lot of assholes here and I just want to be your friend. I know I shouldn't call you baby I'm sorry I swear, I don't want to be the asshole here I just want to be your friend. Cuz I grew up with a lot of guys and I've seen the bullshit that they try to fly but the birds don't fly no more. They're marching up the street and kicking down the door screaming times up to the leaders that been leading in sin. Don't want my little nieces to be afraid of men, I'm going to screw it up but I can try to make it right, alright. I only wanted to be your friend baby I swear, I know there's a lot of assholes here and I just want to be your friend. I know I shouldn't call you baby I'm sorry I swear, I don't want to be the asshole here I just want to be your friend. Because my girlfriends that aren't my girlfriends well they're my best friends. And they taught me to be a better man. I only wanted to be your friend baby I swear, I know there's a lot of assholes here and I just want to be your friend. I know I shouldn't call you baby I'm sorry I swear, I just want to be the asshole here I just want to be your friend.

Annabelle 05:54
A bird in the hand and two in the bush and the bush is burning. Head in the sand it looks like the tide is turning. I look over Jordan and what do I see? A band of Angels running a way from me. Oh Annabelle set yourself free it's understood. Oh Annabelle get away from me I'm no good. Twenty five years old digging a hole somebody tell him. A man can't be told which direction to go and if he could would you trust him? I look over my shoulder and what do I see? A band of Angels coming to bust me. Oh Annabelle set yourself free it's understood. Oh Annabelle get a way from me I'm no good. Stuck in a cell this hell of my imagination. All alone on judgement day how can a man find salvation? I look through the doorway and what do I see? a lonely angel saying a prayer for me. Oh Annabelle set yourself free it's understood. Oh Annabelle get a way from me I'm no good.

You've got your bubble gum evil at the tip top inn. Leaning up against the wall and someone something's making you feel queasy. I need a wide open something or other. Maybe a space of dirt and a gust blazing and blowing maybe a porch cuz we're here in the ghetto rocking out on Whiskey, yeah we're here in the ghetto rocking out on Whiskey. Second shot you're cackling good arm in arm just like we should. Digging all the cool friends we got. Third shot things are still ok though you may see me sway a tad. Oh yeah life is radicle when you're hooping and a hollering shaking and drooling. Praising the music like it's the face of God, let your tongue loose, let this charade out of the cage cuz we're here in the ghetto rocking out on Whiskey, yeah we're here in the ghetto rocking out on Whiskey. Pretty soon we're screaming at each other in the alley your pride is bigger than a bowling ball. And I wanna catch you but I can barely crawl. Why don't you go hang out with your bonehead friends? Oh I forgot that's me....cuz we're here in the ghetto rocking out on Whiskey, yeah we're here in the ghetto rocking out on Whiskey.
