Good things come in all good time If you wanna be ready, you need to steady your mind Don't get caught up in your childish ways You gotta find a way to rise from the haze Wearing my mask, blind to truth I spent my whole year pushing through to get a seat at the table Now I'm closing the book on my own damn personal fable So many phases of my life gone by Guess I never really thought twice Growing older's not an easy thing to do It always requires work from you I had to learn not to get so wrapped up in what I expect And focus my heart more on showing respect Wearing my mask, blind to truth I spent my whole year pushing through to get a seat at the table Now I'm closing the book on my own damn personal fable Built up all of my lies until I realized I had to lay down my pride Now I feel a deep fire within, and I'm ready for my life to begin Wearing my mask, blind to truth I spent my whole year pushing through to get a seat at the table Now I'm closing the book on my own damn personal fable

Leaving 04:06
You talk about yourself, too much for me to stand You talk about your issues, as if I should give a damn I see some peace of mind ahead of me this time I'm leaving you tomorrow cause you don't know who I am You drink too much whiskey, it's time to be a man You spend all of your money, tell me, what is your plan? I see some peace of mind ahead of me this time I'm leaving you tomorrow cause you don't know who I am You've got so much to say, you can't even listen After today, you'll see what you're missing I see some peace of mind ahead of me this time I'm leaving you tomorrow cause you don't know who I am

Alien 04:14
Do you ever feel like an alien? I know that I should try and stay plugged in It seems like sometimes life's a chore, Or maybe I'm alone at war Do you ever feel like an alien? Sitting in the sun, enjoying all the heat Distracting me from the habits I can't seem to beat Do you ever feel like an alien? I know that I should try and stay plugged in It seems like sometimes life's a chore, Or maybe I'm alone at war Do you ever feel like an alien? Drinking a tall cocktail, enjoying all the booze Distracting me from the things I see on the news Do you ever feel like an alien? I know that I should try and stay plugged in It seems like sometimes life's a chore, Or maybe I'm alone at war Do you ever feel like an alien? Sitting at a party, enjoying the barbeque Distracting me from the things that make me feel blue Do you ever feel like an alien? I know that I should try and stay plugged in It seems like sometimes life's a chore, Or maybe I'm alone at war Do you ever feel like an alien? Watching a good movie, enjoying all the laughs Distracting me from the troubles that fill up my past Do you ever feel like an alien? I know that I should try and stay plugged in It seems like sometimes life's a chore, Or maybe I'm alone at war Do you ever feel like an alien? I guess it's not so bad, I'm happier than most My life turned out pretty great, almost Do you ever feel like an alien? I know that I should try and stay plugged in It seems like sometimes life's a chore, Or maybe I'm alone at war Do you ever feel like an alien? Do you ever feel like an alien?

Nine O'clock 05:35
We've been drinking whiskey since nine o'clock last night The troubles and the bills are piling up alright Shipwrecked and drunk, we poured two more shots I'll always be rich if you're all I got They say bad news it comes in three's It seems like thirty-three's for me There's days when the tears flow and days when we let it go Some days we're high, some days we're low We've been drinking whiskey since nine o'clock last night The troubles and the bills are piling up alright Shipwrecked and drunk, we poured two more shots I'll always be rich if you're all I got They say it can only go up But I swear sometimes we're stuck There's days when we cuss and days when we pray Some days we think but we're drinking today We've been drinking whiskey since nine o'clock last night The troubles and the bills are piling up alright Shipwrecked and drunk, we poured two more shots I'll always be rich if you're all I got They say there's nothing quite as strong As the power of love I see you smile across the table And I thank my lucky stars above So let's pour two more shots Cheers to you and to me We'll always be rich as long as you stay with me We've been drinking whiskey since nine o'clock last night The troubles and the bills are piling up alright Shipwrecked and drunk, we poured two more shots I'll always be rich if you're all I got

Black Creek 03:17
I'm headed south on this highway to try to give my worried mind a break Gonna see how many brews I can fit in this old canoe I've had enough of this life on land, gonna plant my stakes knee-deep in sand I've had a hell of a week, I'm going down to Black Creek Half an hour from paradise, cut through the trees, the view is nice Gonna roll on down to freedom from these blues I've had enough of this life on land, gonna plant my stakes knee-deep in sand I've had a hell of a week, I'm going down to Black Creek For this place the Lord I thank, gonna pitch a tent on the riverbank Gonna let these muddy waters cleanse my wounds I've had enough of this life on land, gonna plant my stakes knee-deep in sand I've had a hell of a week, I'm going down to Black Creek A few miles I see the smoke, and I'll be damned, my engine's broke Guess I'll leave this ole truck on the side of the road I've had enough of this life on land, gonna plant my stakes knee-deep in sand I've had a hell of a week, I'm going down to Black Creek The weekend's gone it's back to work, the booze has made my head hurt I guess I'll pack my stuff and hike back to that ole truck But when I arrived all the wheels were gone, leaving me with no way home And I stared down at my shoes, deciding what to do I think I've had enough of this life on land, gonna plant my stakes knee-deep in sand I've had a hell of a week, I'm going back to Black Creek I've had a hell of a week, I'm going back to Black Creek To hell with this week, baptize me down in Black Creek

One Day 03:18
One day you'll see your troubles gone One day you'll sing happier songs One day you will not drag your feet One day in Heaven God you'll meet One day you'll weigh your options left One day your soul will be bereft, Of its body, wordly and old, And float away your heart of gold Tread lightly on this path you walk Don't go too fast or too slow If you do you'll surely stumble Pick yourself up if you fall So many times you've kept in mind all that you love, lonesome dove So many ways you've felt dismayed, and so the rain erode your pain Tread lightly on this path you walk Don't go too fast or too slow If you do you'll surely stumble Pick yourself up if you fall One day you'll see your troubles gone One day you'll sing happier songs One day you will not drag your feet One day in Heaven God you'll meet One day you'll weigh your options left One day your soul will be bereft, Of its body, wordly and old, And float away your heart of gold Tread lightly on this path you walk Don't go too fast or too slow If you do you'll surely stumble Pick yourself up if you fall Pick yourself up if you fall Pick yourself up if you fall
