No Ragrets

Starring down the embers
I ain’t going to sleep tonight
Sitting up with these old words
That have now become old lies
Late night to sunrise jog my brain
Back to specific memories
Of all the shit we used to say
Like we would never leave this place
Start drinking at midnight
Here’s to the Boys and all of the nights I told myself
That if I hadn’t made it by this age
I’d pack my bags and put these songs away
All the dreams that slipped away
With all the drinks we tried to make-
Up for no talent became our plague
Plans for tours never booked
Ideas for songs we’d never sing
Talks of getting by on looks
“No regrets” is a thing that liars say
I hit snooze twice and years became yesterday
When I told myself
If I hadn’t made it by this age
I’d pack my shit and throw these songs away
“No regrets” is a thing that liars say
Drunk alone at midnight
So here’s to the nights and all of the ways
I fool myself
Into thinking I’ve made it in some way
Because I just can’t seem to put these songs away

I left your home that night
it felt just like a movie scene
I smoked the whole way home
just listening to
nothing
I can't be mad at you
for wanting things
more than me
I can't be mad at you
be mad at you
So, if it's over tell me now
let's go back to the start
try and figure out
If it's over tell me now
I paced my home that night
the cats just watched me silently
I thought of drinking all
of your vodka near the kitvhen sink
I can't be this damn dumb
we're not that young
are we still young?
I can't be this damn dumb
are we still young?
So, if it's over tell me now
let's go back to the start
try and figure out
If it's over tell me now
If you got some gas for this tank
I'll turn this car around
If you still feel this in the morning
let me know what I can do
Is there no saving me?
or changing you?
are we too far gone
So, if it's over tell me now
let's go back to the start
try and figure out
If it's over tell me now
If you got some gas for this tank
I'll turn this car around
So, if it's over tell me now
let's go back to the start
try and figure out
If it's over tell me now
Tell me now
Tell me now

Just South of Heaven

I was born just south of Heaven
Out here on the darker side of spring
In this little town around nowhere
Anything was rarely happening
All of the trouble that I caught
Never seemed to matter all that much
I spent my youth in lockups
And trying not to get caught
I was hell for my mother
Nothing but trouble for my old man
Never much of an older brother
To the only sister I ever had
I always got told that I wasn’t right
And I’d lay up at night
I gave up my future
And I gave into the night
I gotta go
Used to drive all night to sunlight
One head light down I-69
Found a home on stranger’s floors
I don’t go home much no more
All the ladies of the night
I leave them all behind
There ain’t a thing that they can do for me
That’ll make me feel alive
If love ain’t in the cards for me this time around
Alright
And if love ain’t in the cards for me
Well alright
I was born just south of Heaven
I walk on the darker side of streets
Every little town I ever lived in
Cheered on the day they saw me leave
All of the trouble that I caught
Never seemed to matter all that much
I got out of lockup
And I’m still trying not to get caught
I gotta go
Used to riding high
Thin white lines
Never get caught
Never slow down
Three shades of grey
Any given day
Baby, you know
I’m a Neapolitan Man
I’m a Neapolitan Man
