Can't Give It Up

You said I never read the writing on the wall
And shot a dirty look as we left town
You and I shared guilty instincts
On the lam as we were coming down
Hide out with your lover
Lie to each other
Smile all your troubles away
Now that you’re gone
Out of the blue
Isn’t there a better way
Can’t give it up
Love can’t leave me alone
We were on the run with guns and money
But you took off without a license plate
My best friend left and doesn’t miss me
Now you got five to ten upstate
Hide out with your lover
Lie to each other
Smile all your troubles away
Now that you’re gone
Out of the blue
Isn’t there a better way
Can’t give it up
Love can’t leave me alone
You left me for dead
And I bet you’d do it again

Zebulon

At Eight o' Clock I drive down Fletcher
Passing all the young girl walkin' by
I've gone gray and my hairline's receeding
The traffic is a drag any time of day (hey)
My old lady, back in high school, she was such a trip
Come to think, she looked a lot like you
Late at night, I wonder what she's doing with her life
'Cause I got nothing else to do
Man I bet they're having fun down there at Zebulon
I bet they smile as they dance the night away
I bet no-one leaves alone when they're at Zebulon
'Cause I bet they got a better place to stay
At Six AM I wake up and I take the boy to school
And he sees you kids make the walk of shame
There are times now and then I worry that he'll ask me
"Daddy, do you have any regrets?"
I say "I don't know," because I don't know
And we watch Finding Nemo again
Man I bet they're having fun down there at Zebulon
I bet they smile as they dance the night away
I bet no-one leaves alone when they're at Zebulon
'Cause I bet they got a better place to stay
Oh yeah I bet they're having fun down there at Zebulon
I bet they smile as they dance the night away
I bet no-one leaves alone when they're at Zebulon
'Cause I bet they got a better place to stay

Bad Love

I'll take the high road
I won't tell you the truth
No-one thinks you're doing fine
You're gonna break, just give it time
In my eyes, do you see
It's no good for you and me
It's love
It's a bad, bad love
I can't make you happy now
That's something you control
Were you a child treated badly?
Is there something I don't know?
In my eyes, do you see
It's no good for you and me
It's love
It's a bad, bad love
When I see you cross the road
You don't smile anymore
Was it something that I said?
Or was it all just in my head
In my eyes, do you see
It's no good for you and me
It's love
It's a bad, bad love
It's love
It's a bad, bad love

Another Night in Kabul

They don’t tell you about the snow
They don’t talk about the dope
They talk about the USO
They tell you what you need to know
Is it all in my head?
It’s another night in Kabul
Is it just a dream?
It’s another night in Kabul
Could you stand the noise?
Could you stand the weather?
Bad as it seems
It’s not getting better
We pushed in, but now we’re clearing out
We built up, and we got shouted down
All the kids shoot us a smile
How do we know if it’s real though...
Is it all in my head?
It’s another night in Kabul
Is it just a dream?
It’s another night in Kabul
Could you stand the noise?
Could you stand the weather?
Bad as it seems
It’s not getting better
Is it all in my head?
Is this another night in Kabul?
Is it just a dream?
It’s another night in Kabul
Could you stand the noise?
Could you stand the weather?
Bad as it seems
It’s not getting better
It’s just another night in Kabul
It’s just another night in Kabul
It’s another night in Kabul
It’s just another night in Kabul

Do It Yourself

You can list off all the ways you think that I'll amount to nothing
Write the wrong guy off like my teachers used to did
'Cause what's the use in being some kind of dreamer
That's what they said to me, I didn't know where to begin
Thought my company was my companions
I thought I could rely on them
But now they've locked the door I closed behind me
Did they think I had a key, or did they just want me to leave?
If you want something done right, just do it yourself
What's the use in passing all the blame to someone else
If you wanna play the game, don't get played yourself
Don't make up excuses for the stories that you tell
I was locked outside with no disciples
As I walked away, noticed eviction on the door
But I majored in miscommunication
I know that it paid off, 'cause I never found a friend
If you want something done right, just do it yourself
What's the use in passing all the blame to someone else
If you wanna play the game, don't get played yourself
Don't make up excuses for the stories that you tell
If you want something done right, just do it yourself
Some days I don't even have a reason
To get up or to try to be someone
Life is always changing with the seasons
But it's still worth tryin' to keep up with the sun
If you want something done right, just do it yourself
What's the use in passing all the blame to someone else
If you wanna play the game, don't get played yourself
Don't make up excuses for the stories that you tell
If you want something done right, just do it yourself

Hope Don't Leave Me Now

I never called it trouble when the sports book called my name
Free drinks and video poker always appealed to me
If you put a conference in Vegas, it's not my fault if I get free play
Hope don't leave me now
Someone take the wheel
Hope don't die on me and
Don't say goodbye to me
I had a life to go home to, but I think I'll stay for a bit
Now it's an unpaid vacation, but it's better than missing all this
'Cause my greatest virtue is patience, and I'll win it all back someday (hey)
Hope don't leave me now
Someone take the wheel
Hope don't die on me and
Don't say goodbye to me
Some people call me pathetic
Some don't call at all...
Hope don't leave me now
Someone take the wheel
Hope don't die on me and
Don't say goodbye to me
Don't say goodbye to me

Don't Count On Me
02:53

You tell everyone you meditate
I would think that it would show
I call out to you, you hesitate
I just thought you'd like to know
Don't count on me
To hang around
To tie you down
To hold your hand
To understand
Don't count on me
You said we were wasting years
And blamed it all on your career
I don't think you shed a single tear
And still expected me here
Don't count on me
To hang around
To tie you down
To hold your hand
To understand
Don't count on me
You tell me that you don't have
Eyes for someone else
Truth is that you owe me peace of mind
I won't bail you out this time
Now I think you're on your own
You hold out for a better life
But is that in your control?
Don't count on me
To hang around
To tie you down
To hold your hand
To understand
Don't count on
Don't count on me
To hang around
To tie you down
To hold your hand
To understand
Don't count on me
To hold your hand
To understand
Don't count on me
To take your sass
To kiss your feet
Don't count on me
