Lyrics


1. KNOCKED UP

I don't care what nobody says
We're gonna have a baby
Taking off in a Coup De Ville
She's buckled up on Navy

She don't care what her momma says
No, she's gonna have my baby
Taking all I have to take
This takin' is gonna shape me

People call us renegades
'Cause we like living crazy
We like taking on the town
'Cause people's getting lazy

I don't care what nobody says
No, I'm going to be her lover
Always mad and usually drunk
But I love her like no other

And the doctor says he don't know
Where we gonna go?
I'm a ghost and I don't think I quite know
Where we're gonna go? Where we're gonna go?

People call us renegades
'Cause we like living crazy
We like taking on this town
'Cause people's getting lazy

I don't care what nobody says
No, I'm going to be her lover
Always mad and usually drunk
But I love her like no other

And her daddy says he don't know
Where we gonna go?
I'm a ghost and I don't think I quite know
Where we gonna go? Where we gonna go?
Where we gonna go? Where we gonna go?
Where we gonna

People call us renegades
We like taking on this town
And I don't care if you don't win

I don't care what nobody says
We're gonna have a baby
Taking off in a Coup De Ville
She's buckled up on Navy

She don't care what her mama said
No, she's gonna have my baby
I'm taking all I have to take
'Cause takin' is gonna shape me


2. CHARMER

She's such a charmer, oh, no
She's such a charmer, oh, no
She's always looking at me
She's always looking at me
She's such a charmer, oh, no, oh, no

She stole my Karma, oh, no
Sold it to the farmer, oh, no
She's always looking at me
She's always looking at me
She's such a charmer, oh, no, oh, no

Born in West Virginia, oh, no
Married to the preacher, oh, no
She's always looking at me
She's always looking at me
She's such a charmer, oh, no, oh, no

She's always looking at me
She's always looking at me
She's such a charmer, oh, no, oh, no


3. ON CALL

She said call me now baby, I'd come running
She said call me now baby, I'd come running
If you call me now baby, I'd come running

I'm on call to be there, one and all to be there
When I fall to pieces, no I don't know
I'll be there waiting to be there, to be there

I'm on call to be there, one and all to be there
When I fall to pieces, no I don't know
I'll be there waiting

I'm gon' brawl, so be there, one for all I'll be there
When they fall to pieces, no I don't know
I'll be there laughing

I'd come a-running
I'd come a-running
I'd come a-running

To be there, to be there
I'm on call to be there
I'm on call to be there
I'm on call to be there
I'm on call to be there


4. MCFEARLESS

Strange living with a name
They get the best of me
But I'm gon' walk away

I don't complaint, I got much to gain
So they keep testing me
And I keep feeding their face

But they could go off and hit the road
And what would I care?
I like going nowhere

I got the reigns, courage I was made of
And they got the fake love
So I know I must show

It's my show, I must go
With my soul not my hand
Where I stand it's my role, it's my soul

Pearls, necklaces and girls
And all the pretty thing
I ain't seeking to have

It's safe to say
If I don't get this out of me
I might quite easily end up dead

Mad cross my T's, try to dot my eyes
But that's blinding me
I ain't living that way

I roll my sleeves
And make me a better man of me
I might easily just give up on the show

Yes, my show, I must go
With my soul not my hand
Where I stand it's my role, it's my soul

I must show, it's my show, I must go
With my soul by my hand
Where I stand it's my role, it's my soul

It's my show, it's my show


5. BLACK THUMBNAIL

My cold, cold, sailor heart says get on your way
I ain't to proud to say but that's how I'm made
I'll be that person 'till my dying day
I try so awful hard, but I can't change

From runways to the road, I ramble alone
This thumbnail sized of a heart is black as coal
Your beauty, it still brings me to my knees
Don't waste a tear on me, it's my disease

Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I know I'm picking up speed
Don't leave no smell on me

Those preppy boys in blue, that make fun of us
So we take it to the streets 'cause we want to be cussed
But we're not here to make your children bleed
We're here to come around with the tumbleweed

Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I know I'm picking up speed
Don't leave no smell on me, now get her, go get her

Don't take these boots off me when you're thinking I'm dead
I'll still be running from the demon in my head
I'll be that person 'till my dying day
I try so awful hard, but I can't change

Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I know I'm picking up speed
Don't leave no smell on me, don't leave no


6. MY PARTY

It’s changing all to yellow and it’s carving a path
So now we’re on our way
It’s taking us on journeys
While we wipe away frowns amongst the crowded place

Say why you never call me? No, you never seem to call me
Now that I’m okay
I’ll beat you in the end
And every time you turn around, here comes the coming of age

Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party
Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party

I cock and load my mergers when you question my mood
'Cause you ain’t got no taste
You talking 'bout my baby
I could flip him upside down and I could mop his place

Say why you never saw me? No, you never seen my calling
Right in front your face
I smoke you in the end
And don’t you ever turn around 'cause here's that coming of Age

Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party (x4)

Oh, oh
Oh, she saw my party
Oh, she saw my party

Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party (x6)


7. TRUE LOVE WAY

Warning like a substitute,
I've been working awful hard for you
But you don't say, you just hold your breath
So I can't touch what I haven't yet

She's a cold one and it hurts me so
It's a dark path and a heck of a go
If she could feel me like she did before

Oh, we'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home

Push in and then pull it away, it's the hard part
But the true love way
Till you want it like a wanted man
With your smart mouth and your killer hand

We can both share all that I have made
For a young man it's a heck of a wage
And I feel crazy when I see your face

'Cause we'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home

And we would laugh
Laugh till we cry
Making a song
You making me lie

And people say our babies are walking this town
And people say our babies are walking this town
And people say our babies are just wondering around
And people say our babies are walking around

We'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home

And we would laugh
Laugh till we cry
Making up songs
You making me lie, happy alone


8. RAGOO

I wanna say here's to me gonna change the world
Now I wanna play till they kicking down the door
I'll be alright long as I ain't seen it all
And I'mma holding tight to that night we had a ball, we had A ball

Here's to the kids out there smoking in the streets
They're way too young but I'm way too old to preach
They know it all but they still ain't seein' the truth
Just play my song and I'll show it all to you

Either way you caught me whilst a lyin'
You caught me whilst a lyin'
You caught me with my pants down

My papa's slave had to go and fight the war
He beat 'em all then he took 'em all to court
My papa called and he said you remember me?
Now he's working awful hard in his factory

Either way you caught me whilst a lyin'
You caught me whilst a lyin'
You caught me with my pants down

We ain't even been to the ocean
We been running barefoot the stream
We been running barefoot through the stream
We ain't even been to the oh

We ain't even been to the ocean
We been running barefoot the stream
We been running barefoot through the stream
We ain't even been to the ocean


9. FANS

Home grown
Back to the rhythm and back to the beat of the radio
You ain't got the slang but you got the face to play the Role
You can't play with me

And all the bros
Try for the girls and try for tearing this tight clothes
She got a hiding all he has is his asshole
She'll be bothering me

And her hair do
He knows the lipstick kisses, oh, yeah that's the right move
Make me feel like I'm the one who moves you
The only one you see

Now take me down
Don't you let those tears quench the thirsty ground
Don't you be so scared that you can't make a sound
Make a sound on me here

All of London sing
'Cause England swings the extra love the tales I bring
You know the rainy days they ain't so bad when you're the King
The king they want to see

Home grown
So rock to the rhythm and bop to the beat of the radio
You ain't got the slang but you got the face to play the Role
You can't play with me here

And her hair do
He knows the lipstick kisses, oh, yeah that's the right move
Make me feel like I'm the one who's moving you
The only one you see

All of London sing
'Cause England swings the extra love the tales I bring
You know the rainy days they ain't so bad when you're the King
The king they want to see


10. THE RUNNER

Hard times as we go, we know what times will change
I talked to Jesus, Jesus says I'm okay
Pushin' and jumpin', jumpin' the mountain range
And in a railroad, railroad from hell to Maine

While she says she's on her own
I'll be pacin' on the phone
Sneakin' on the stake of clam
Awful sick and tired of the gang

She comes from nothing
Hopin' for a taste of fame
She's got a birthmark
A birthmark the shape of Maine

While she says she's on her own
I'll be pacin' on the phone
Sneakin' on the stake of clam
Awful sick and tired of the gang

And it's cold and it's cold
And it's cold when you're near
Cold when you're near any bottle

Cold and it's cold
And it's cold when you're near
Cold when you're near any bottle

Hard times as we go, we know where times will change
I talk to Jesus, Jesus everyday
(Hard times as we go)


11. TRUNK

I got what she wants
Ah, her nose, a tied knot
I got one mile to go
On down the road, on down the road

Well, she got what I want
And she knows what I'm not
Ah, I got one mile to go
On down the road, on down the road

She sang

She got what I want
And she knows what I'm not
And I got one mile to go
On down the road, on down the road

She sang


12. CAMARO

She look so cool in her new Camaro
It's black as coal and it goes boy, go, go, go
I brought my bike next to her Camaro
And when I fire on a smile then she blows, she blows

I'm makin' eyes through my sharp sunglasses
She's such a brat now I'm packin' her cigarettes
I guess I'll take off these great sunglasses
It makes her look me in the eye before she's taken away

So cool in her new Camaro
It's black as coal and it go boy, go, go, go
She looks so cool in that new Camaro
So black as coal and it go, don't it go, go, go

She look so cool in her new Camaro
It's black as coal and it go boy, go, go, go
I brought my bike next to her Camaro
And when I fire on a smile then she blows, she blows

She blows, she blows


13. ARIZONA

Now taste
All I ever needed
All I ever wanted
So hold on to surrender

She shakes
Like I'm on a railway
Checking me out
Someone on a shoulder

Her lamp
Slippers in her bedroom
She must feel it's awkward
Oh, I said it's Arizona

Now go stand up to a giant
Said that I'm a fighter
Too drunk to remember
Too drunk to

Shake hands, my face
Standin' on a treadmill
Tastin' something awful
I hate when that happens

She waits in and out of Texas
She must be plum crazy
I kinda think I like her
I kinda think I do
