Denmark Girl (From a Tiny Desk) 02:38
lyrics
buy track
I've been tore up and tore down From the roof to the floor now I've been whiskey bent and hell bound And mystified and spellbound I've been worked up and wore down From sunup to sundown I've been held up and held down Been lost and broken without you And I've talked with the wise men And drank with the fools I've been locked up for fighting And followed the rules And I've been law abiding And escaped with the jewels And it's not for lack of trying But I'm still lost and broken without you I've been doing it all But I still haven't made the call And I've slept through the good times And drank through the bad And I've stayed up the hard nights And crept through the sad And I've skipped on the good wine And drank what I had And I'm not always on time But I'm still lost and broken without you Now I've gotta make the ends meet Before I meet with the end And I can't let my friends see What I've become again 'Cause I'm often friendly But uh... after five or ten Someone might try to end me 'Cause I'm still lost and broken without you

Busch Beer (From a Tiny Desk) 02:01
lyrics

Sippin' on a Busch Beer Long hair don't care I'm on the road to hell And there's only one way to get there I've been drinkin' 10 to 9 And I can hardly stand But I still might stagger the line Pretty mama if you take my hand 'Cause baby ain't no way We're gettin' out of this world alive And it might be my last day So I'm livin' for the night She said "I think you're wrong" I said "you're probably right" But I've got a lot of hell to raise Before I run out of time Carolina full moon Smoke-filled barroom Drop a quarter or two And I got my whole world swayin' to Hank tunes Said it makes her way too sad She said it kills the vibe I could give a fuck about your vibe When I'm so lonesome I could cry

Lifestyles (From a Tiny Desk) 02:57

If I had a four-door Chevy or a six pack of Nattys Baby then do you think I could? If I wore Saint Laurent daily might it make for a maybe? Sounds nice but it never would Baby it’s a lifestyle Mama carry me home for good Baby it’s a lifestyle Sounds nice but you never would No If I made my 9 to 5 living in an office in the city Baby then do you think I might? If you could brag to all your friends that my stacks never end Mama would it keep you warm at night? Baby it’s a lifestyle Mama carry me home for good Baby it’s a lifestyle Sounds nice but you never would I'm talkin' bout that lifestyle No you never would

Memphis, Pt. 2 (From a Tiny Desk) 02:46
lyrics

I ended up in Memphis On that Tennessee line I was looking for forgiveness I was high on the wine I was in the wrong I was doing things that I should've never done I was in the wrong I was living fast and I was living for the fun I'd rolled in from Carolina The night before the last Tryna burn through half my money Tryna outrun the past I was in the wrong I was doing things that I should've never done I was in the wrong I was living fast and living for the fun Ain't it funny how we try to change Things that never change? Ain't it funny how It all stays the same? In a broke down Monte Carlo Head on the wheel I locked my Draco in the car trunk And I headed out towards Beale I was in the wrong I was doing things I should've never done I was in the wrong I was living fast and I was living for the fun Ain't it funny how we try to change The things that never change? Ain't it funny how It all stays the same?
