Lyrics:

Oh when the dawn breaks. Say, say it aint so. Am I still a criminal? I, I cant believe that you never sang to me. Oh when the dawn breaks. I need to be released so hurry quick call a priest I need to let this go, so cut the lines from below. All I wanted was the truth, instead I got you The words, words that we spoke we are now made to choke. And when we turn to dust, those words now turn to rust.

Lyrics:

Before the flood I felt the child down below, barefoot and froze beneath the snow. Now its Caroline and shes out flying with the crows, And Im praying deep inside for me and mine beneath the pines. And I just hope she jumps that county line County line, county line, please dont hold up my Caroline. Shes the one the only one who stood by me. Shell be coming strong in her 61. That straight six Ford moves like the sun. So you know right when you see That shes the only woman for me For five long years I spent here driving down the road The price I paid for the life she stole. Now its Caroline and shes still out there on her own. And Im praying deep inside for me and mine beneath the pines. And I just hope she jumps that county line.

Lyrics:

3am nothings working. Another lonely night at home. Why am I calling you this evening? I guess Im afraid to be alone. And I cant shake this wake and all I need is rest. Calling out your name with whiskey on my breath. Nothing to offer you but a sinners heart at best. Still youre my only one. I got this awful thing inside me. Where other people have a heart. And now its cracking at the ramparts. For the awful things that I have done.

Lyrics:

I went down to the land of the king. Buried my brother down in New Orleans. Whoa. Owed my life to the commissary store. Bought my freedom with a .44 Whoa Oh how I miss Miss Abeline. It was the rhythm of her smile, that drove the rhythm of my feet. But life aint always such a dream, You put this heart on trial. Heart on trial. Born to ramble up and down around this land. Gave up my running with my own two hands. Should have know better being down in Acadian. Lost my vision to the eyes of woman.

Lyrics:

Went to the well boys, the well was empty. Dont give me water, just give me whiskey. Oh Dont worry Mama, The world is ending. Got nothing left here, thats worth defending. Oh Slowly rolling, down by the river darlin. We dont belong here in the South. If only, only, I put away a little money. We could get out without a sound. These days are restless, the earth is choking. My time is wasted, my will is broken. Oh.
