if the cops ever knew just what I do they'd probably throw my ass in jail if the wind ever blew my secrets and my truths I'd probably end up postin' bail they'll never be able to track me down I'll be hiding with women from town to town still drinking, doing as I do no cop will ever know the truth down in Bloomington I worked at a liquor store I served minors whiskey and beer, everyday my back yard was full of pot my cocaine was always stocked my neighbors, they would never complain they'll never be able to track me down I'll be hiding with women from town to town still drinking, doing as I do no cop will ever know the truth well I moved up to Logan Square and I grew out my facial hair I wore plaid, so that I, would fit in I continued to bend the rules I found others who thought it was cool we all agreed that the cops were fools they'll never be able to track me down I'll be hiding with women from town to town still drinking, doing as I do no cop will ever know the truth

will it ever stop raining in Port Townsend? will I then stop feeling so blue? I'm just sippin' on wine by the ocean rememberin' how my heart fell for you will we ever go out walking by the water? I will always be yours and be true I'm just staring straight out at the mountains rememberin' how my heart fell for you can we soon take a trip to the garden? I would like to pick you fresh food I've been lost singing songs to the tall pines rememberin' how my heart fell for you can I chop you some wood for the fire I will wipe all the dirt from my shoes you will watch me in the rain while I'm working rememberin' how my heart fell for you you will watch me in the rain while I'm working rememberin' how my heart fell for you

No New Names 03:50
you gotta leave your past behind If you want to live up to your dream you gotta open up your mind and experience new things we struggle with ourselves to move on unless we're travelin’ in a pack we struggle to become one unless our pride is suddenly under attack and every town has gotta gang a group of stories that they maintain and every night stays just the same with drinks and laughs but never no, never no new names you gotta leave your past behind If you want to live up to your dream you gotta open up your mind and experience new things I’m gonna move myself out west with my beautiful girlfriends’ hand in mine we’re gonna try to do our best following taillights to empty signs and every town has gotta gang a group of stories that they maintain and every night stays just the same with drinks and laughs but never no, never no new names you gotta leave your past behind If you wanna live up to your dream you gotta open up your mind and experience new things

now honey please just listen to me and please relax and sip your tea it's time to go we'll be apart and I don't know if it's worth the start but what I know I can barely see you keep your feelings hidden away from me we've met too late and it hurts my heart so I'll just wait for it to fall apart while you're away please think of me I will be here I will wait for thee when you return it'll be just us we'll take it slow there's no need to rush

well I am losing my mind one day at a time and I don't know if I'll ever find it but if you come across a mind that's been lost don't hesitate to keep it 'cause my mind's been used it's been abused it's a fuse that won't light it's now a waste it is bland with no taste it should disappear every night it's time to go yes it's time to head home yes it's time to go to bed stop staying out late and get my mind straight and create more before I'm dead 'cause my mind's been used it's been abused it's a fuse that won't light it's now a waste it is bland with no taste it should disappear every night well I'm sorry now I'm afraid but somehow I'll have to let you go we've had all our fun but now that times done I'm a star that just won't glow 'cause my mind's been used it's been abused it's a fuse that won't light it's now a waste it is bland with no taste it should disappear this very night
