Damn Good Start
How to ease a cowboy’s heart
An empty bottle is a damn good start
A damn good start
How to ease a wanting heart
Walk out the door is a damn good start
A damn good start
When nothing good comes around
And all the uppers leave you down
When getting by never gets you through
What’s left to do?
How to ease a gambler’s heart
Let him win is a damn good start
A damn good start
How to cure a cautious heart
Give it all for nothing is a damn good start
A damn good start
When nothing good comes around
And all the uppers leave you down
When getting by never gets you through
What’s left to do?
I was born a gambling man
I was born a cowboy too
I laid it all down for love
And then walked away too soon

You flew in from chile in a dress.
Gave me lucky cigarettes with filters on.
I told you, we'll be lucky when we're dead.
And I'm lucky to be sharing time you.
When I met you, you had secretary hair.
Grace, a smile fair, I was in love.
I told you, what we did I did not care.
As long as the others did not know.
Give me luck
Give me grace
Show me love
Before it's too late
You sat down topless, full of greed.
Said the aces up your sleeve would get me through.
I told you, I have nothing to believe
And I'm putting all my faith in you
Give me luck
Give me grace
Show me love
Before it's too late
I am a wandering child.
Waiting for love to drive me wild.
I gave up all I know.
For the lady, in the dress, with the smokes.

There's a state in the west
Put's my love to the test
For other places I've lived
But the rent there's too high
And the air's much to dry
These are the reasons I give
But on the day I move home
When I'm with my roaming
When I shake off this prodigal's curse
I'll call my mom
'cause she frets when I'm gone
But there's someone I need to see first
Barbara in California
I would lift mountains just so I could see you
You know that it's true
Like I told Carol Ruth
Those cascades just don't wanna move
The heart in my chest
Still lives in the west
One day I'll claim what's mine
But for now I'm content
With the time I am spending
I like it here just fine
Barbara in California
I would lift mountains just so I could see you
You know that it's true
Like I told Carol Ruth
Those cascades just don't wanna move

She’s mixing business
And pleasure
And sleeping around
I think it’s about time
That I left this town
Now Jack of Diamonds
He left here
A long time ago
I can’t remember
Which way he did go
Tell me where do the dogies go
And where can I sleep where she don’t come home
I’ll smoke a cigarette
In the starlight
And I won’t feel alone
‘cause I’ve got my dogies
And no place to call home
Tell me where do the dogies go
And where can I sleep where she don’t come home
She’s mixing business
And pleasure
And sleeping around
I think it’s about time
That I left this town

My home is full of music
My heart is full of friends
How is that I am feeling down again?
There’s cider on the stovetop
And a record spinning thin
How is it that I am feeling down again?
Saturday slow
Sunday lazy
They say I look fine
Why do I feel crazy?
I once spoke rare and truthful
I looked love in the eyes
How is it that my mouth is full of lies?
There’s a bible on the dresser
Next door a baby cries
How is it that my mouth is full of lies?
Saturday slow
Sunday lazy
They say I look fine
Why do I feel crazy?

Sane in Colorado
Building walls to save a home
It’s nothing that I asked for
It’s all I should have known
Oh my God
What should I do?
She’s not here
Did she care for the kids?
You can’t hold your whiskey
Now I can’t hold my girl
It’s nothing that I’d choose
I’ve given her my world
Oh my God
Is this my fault?
Oh my God
What could I have done?
What is this here I have seen with my eyes and heard with my ears?
I can’t believe that this happened to me
Oh, how can this be?
I can not stand with my head in my heart and my heart in my hands.
I can’t believe that this happened to me
Oh, how can this be?
Sane in Colorado
Learning I have no control
It’s nothing I expected
But I’ll make it on my own
Oh my God
Tell me you have a plan
She’s not here
You let her grow cold
Sane in Colorado

Sarah roll down my window
I can't do this on my own
Let the big sky in
Let us sing again
Sarah roll down my window
I've been driving since I don't know when
I couldn't tell you where I've been
I haven't seen you in over a year
Let's forgot our troubles, let's forget all our fears

Sleep Elena, please don’t cry
Now’s the time to close your eyes
That shine like diamonds in the sky
Dream Elena, the sweetest dreams
Take this whole world and make it sing
The songs inside your head
Sweet Elena, I hold you now
You’re growing older I don’t know how
I’ll ever let you go.
Sleep Elena
Sleep Elena
Sleep Elena
