Silver Lining
Woke up on the wrong side of rock bottom
Throw a lot of pennies in a well
That done run dry
Light up and smoke 'em if you have 'em
But you just ain't got 'em
Yeah ain't we always looking
For a bluer sky
If you're ever gonna find a silver lining
It's gotta be a cloudy day
It's gotta be a cloudy day
If you wanna fill your bottle up with lightning
You're gonna have to stand in the rain
You're gonna have to stand in the rain
Hoo hoo hoooo
[3x]
Hoo
If lemonade keeps turning into lemons
And you wear your heart on a ripped
Unraveled sleeve
Been run through the wringer
And pushed on to your limit
Say you're just unlucky
But luck ain't what you need
'Cause if you're ever gonna find
A four leaf clover
You gotta get a little dirt on your hands
You gotta get a little dirt on your hands
And if you wanna find a head
That fits your shoulder
You're gonna have to go to the dance
You're gonna have to go to the dance
If you wanna find the honey
You can't be scared of the bees
And if you wanna see the forest
You're gonna have to look past trees
If you're ever gonna find a silver lining
It's gotta be a cloudy day
It's gotta be a cloudy day
If you wanna fill your bottle up with lightning
You're gonna have to stand in the rain
You're gonna have to stand in the rain
Hoo hoo hoooo
[3x]
Hoo
Hoo hoo hoooo
[3x]
Hoo, hoo, hoo

My House
Who needs a house up on a hill
When you can have one on four wheels
And take it anywhere the wind might blow?
You don't ever have to mow the yard
Just hang a map and throw a dart
And pray to God the engine starts and go
Water and electric and a place to drain the septic
Any KOA is A-OK as long as I'm with you
So come on hitch your wagon
To the living room I'm draggin'
If I can't bring you to my house
I'll bring my house to you
Parking lots and county lines
And counting mile marker signs
Where the buffalo and antelope roam
Greetings from Niagara Falls
One more postcard for the wall
Off in our own sweet home away from home
Water and electric and a place to drain the septic
Any KOA is A-OK as long as I'm with you
So come on hitch your wagon
To the living room I'm draggin'
If I can't bring you to my house
I'll bring my house to you
In Washington, in Idaho
In Oregon and away we go
To Tennessee and Arkansas
No, we won't stop 'til we've seen 'em all
'Til we've seen 'em all
So what else could you ask for?
You don't even need a passport
To see the whole world from our living room
So come on hitch your wagon
To the happiness I'm draggin'
If I can't bring you to my house
I'll bring my house to you
If I can't bring you to my house
I'll bring my house to you
It don't matter where we go
We'll never be alone
Anywhere beside you is a place that I'll call home

Merry Go 'Round
If you ain't got two kids by 21,
You're probably gonna die alone.
Least that's what tradition told you.
And it don't matter if you don't believe,
Come Sunday morning, you best be there in the front row like you're supposed to.
Same hurt in every heart.
Same trailer, different park.
Mama's hooked on Mary Kay.
Brother's hooked on Mary Jane.
Daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down.
Mary, Mary quite contrary.
We get bored, so, we get married
Just like dust, we settle in this town.
On this broken merry go 'round and 'round and 'round we go
Where it stops nobody knows and it ain't slowin' down.
This merry go 'round.
We think the first time's good enough.
So, we hold on to high school love.
Sayin' we won't end up like our parents.
Tiny little boxes in a row.
Ain't what you want, it's what you know.
Just happy in the shoes you're wearin'.
Same checks we're always cashin' to buy a little more distraction.
'Cause mama's hooked on Mary Kay.
Brother's hooked on Mary Jane.
Daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down.
Mary, Mary, quite contrary.
We get bored, so, we get married.
Just like dust, we settle in this town.
On this broken merry go 'round and 'round and 'round we go
Where it stops nobody knows and it ain't slowin' down.
This merry go 'round.
Mary, Mary, quite contrary.
We're so bored until we're buried.
Just like dust, we settle in this town.
On this broken merry go 'round.
Merry go 'round.
Jack and Jill went up the hill.
Jack burned out on booze and pills.
And Mary had a little lamb.
Mary just don't give a damn no more.

Dandelion
Picked you out and picked you up
Hoping that my luck would change
I let the summer fill my lungs
And superstition fill my brain
Dandelion
A million little wishes float across the sky
But it's a waste of breath and it's a waste of time I know
Cause just like him, you always leave me cryin' dandelion
Sent you dancing on the breeze
And like a stupid little girl
I spent my wishes on a weed
Thinking it could change my world
Dandelion
A million little wishes float across the sky
But it's a waste of breath and it's a waste of time I know
Cause just like him, you always leave me cryin' dandelion
Falling stars and lucky pennies
Have let me down so many times before
And you're just one more
Oh, dandelion
Oh, dandelion
I'm always blowing kisses out across the sky
But it's a waste of breath and it's a waste of time I know
Cause just like him, you always leave me cryin' dandelion

Blowin' Smoke
Between the lunch and dinner rush
Kelly caught that outbound bus for Vegas
We're all out here talking trash, making bets
Lips wrapped round our cigarettes
She always thought she was too good to be a waitress
Well, we all say that we'll quit someday
When our ship comes in
We'll just sail away
But we're just blowin' smoke
Hey yeah
We're just blowin' smoke
Hey yeah
Out here goin' broke
Hey yeah
We're just blowin' smoke
Well Janie got divorced again
Her ex-husband's in the pen
From two to five, five to ten and longer
Brenda's traded smokes for cake
Still hadn't lost that baby weight
And that baby's about to graduate
From college
I'm just flicking ash
Into the tray
Tell them both it'll be okay
But I'm just blowin' smoke
Hey yeah
I'm just blowin' smoke
Hey yeah
I'm out here goin' broke
Hey yeah
Yeah we're just blowin' smoke
We all say that we'll
Quit someday
When our nerves ain't shot
And our hands don't shake, yeah
We all say that we'll
Quit someday
When our nerves ain't shot
And our hands don't shake
Wipe down the bar, take out the trash
Light one up and count my cash
Swear I'm never coming back again
I'm just blowin' smoke
Hey yeah
I'm just blowin' smoke
Hey yeah
Out here going broke
Hey yeah
Yeah we're just blowin' smoke

I Miss You
Oh my God it's you, I never thought I'd see you here.
Looks like all is well, like you're having a hell of a good time.
Me? Not gonna lie.
Got the sunshine on my shoulders
Got a fistful of four leaf clovers
Yeah my cup runneth over
My sky is blue
Been kissed by Lady Luck,
The stars are all lined up,
Every arrow that I aim is true
But I miss you.
You can have your cake and eat it too, I should have known
Cause what good is good anyway
And having it all is just a state of mind
And I, I got no reason to cry
I got the sunshine on my shoulders
Got a fistful of four leaf clovers
Yeah my cup runneth over
My sky is blue
Been kissed by Lady Luck,
The stars are all lined up,
Every arrow that I aim is true
But I miss you.
Been kissed by Lady Luck,
The stars are all lined up,
Every arrow that I aim is true.
I got a big smile on my face
The best one I can fake
I'm as happy as half a heart can do
But I miss you.

Step Off
You sure look real pretty in your glass house
You probably think you're too good to take the trash out
Well are you dumb or are you blind
Cause it's a real fine line
Between telling a joke and turning a knife
Don't wreck my reputation
Let me wreck my own
Step off, step off
Yeah you're getting too close to me
With all your negativity
Just get lost
Just try to make a little difference
Here's why you gotta interfere
Just keep climbing that mountain of dirty tricks
When you finally get to the top
Step off, yeah
You screwed everybody over in this town
There ain't nothing between you and the cold hard ground
Keep running your mouth and stretching the truth
You just might find a hole in your parachute
'Cause whatever gets you high
Will always bring you down
So step off, step off
Yeah, you're getting too close to me
With all your negativity
Just get lost
Just try to make a little difference
Here's why you gotta interfere
Just keep climbing that mountain of dirty tricks
When you finally get to the top, hmmm
Step off
Sticks and stones
May build a throne
But you'll be up there all alone
So step off
Yeah, yeah, step off
And keep climbing that mountain of dirty tricks, yeah
When you finally get to the top
Step off, step off, step off

Back On The Map
Gotten too far off the map
Not so sure I can get back.
Was I the one who drifted off?
Did I take advantage of good love?
'Cause I swear I did everything I could've done
But what good is love
Without the trust?
Does anybody wanna
Put me back, put me back
On the map
I'd read all about it
I'd do anything, anything
That you asked
'Cause honestly I've been
Out of touch and out of reach
Just looking for someone, anything
That's finally gonna put me back
Put me back on the map
Something steady, something good
It's probably closer than I thought it could be
All this off the grid is getting old
And my compass says I'm getting close
But I don't know, it's hard to read
So I'll just keep moving
Hoping someone out there's gonna
Put me back, put me back
On the map
I'd read all about it
I'd do anything, anything
That you asked
'Cause honestly I've been
Out of touch and out of reach
Just looking for someone, anything
That's finally gonna put me back
Put me back on the map
S.O.S is out of hand
Just holding out for a love again
I'm sending signals, find me fast
I know, I know
There's gotta be somebody who can
Put me back, put me back
On the map
Cause I'd read all about it
I'd do anything anything
That you asked
'Cause honestly I've been
Out of touch and out of reach
Just looking for someone, anything
That's finally gonna put me back
Put me back on the map

Keep It To Yourself
You turn on the light
Then you turn it back off
'Cause sleeping alone, yeah it ain't what you thought
It's the drip of the sink
It's the click of the clock
And you're wondering if I'm sleeping
You heard from your friends
That I'm doing okay
And you're thinking, maybe you made a mistake
And you want me to know
But I don't wanna know
How you're feeling
Keep it to yourself
If you think that you still love me
Put it on a shelf
If you're looking for someone
Make it someone else
When you're drunk
And it's late
And you're missing me like hell
Keep it to yourself
Keep it to yourself
If you see me out and I'm standing alone
Well it don't mean that I'm gonna need a ride home
If you walk up to me like it ain't what it is
Know that it ain't gonna end with a kiss
So keep it to yourself
If you think that you still love me
Put it on a shelf
If you're looking for someone
Make it someone else
When you're drunk
And it's late
And you're missing me like hell
Just keep it to yourself
Yea keep it to yourself
Yea, when you're drunk
And it's late
And you're sad
And you hate going home alone
Cause you're missing me like hell
Keep it to yourself
Yea keep it to yourself
Yea keep it to yourself

Stupid
Plays you like a fiddle
Shakes you like a rattle
Takes away your gun
And sends you into battle
Huffs and it puffs
'Til it blows your house down
And you don't know your heart
From a hole in the ground
Oh whoa oh whoa
Oh whoa oh whoa
Stupid love is stupid
Don't know why we always do it
Finally find it just to lose it
Always wind up looking stupid
Stupid
Girl meets boy
And boy he's a looker
Can't separate the salt from the sugar
There's nothing in your pockets
There's footprints on your face
You can't tell anymore
If you're the rabbit or the snake
Hey!
Oh whoa oh whoa
Oh whoa oh whoa
Stupid love is stupid
Don't know why we always do it
Finally find it just to lose it
Always wind up looking stupid
Stupid
I drink to feel
I smoke to breathe
Just look what love
Has done to me
Stupid love is stupid
Don't know why we always do it
Finally find it just to lose it
Always wind up looking so damn
Stupid love is stupid
Don't know why we always do it
Finally find it just to lose it
Always wind up looking stupid
Stupid

Follow Your Arrow
If you save yourself for marriage
You're a bore
If you don't save yourself for marriage
You're a horrible person
If you won't have a drink
Then you're a prude
But they'll call you a drunk
As soon as you down the first one
If you can't lose the weight
Then you're just fat
But if you lose too much
Then you're on crack
You're damned if you do
And you're damned if you don't
So you might as well just do
Whatever you want
So
Make lots of noise
Kiss lots of boys
Or kiss lots of girls
If that's something you're into
When the straight and narrow
Gets a little too straight
Roll up a joint, or don't
Just follow your arrow
Wherever it points, yeah
Follow your arrow
Wherever it points
If you don't go to church
You'll go to hell
If you're the first one
On the front row
You're self-righteous
Son of a-
Can't win for losing
You'll just disappoint 'em
Just 'cause you can't beat 'em
Don't mean you should join 'em
So make lots of noise
Kiss lots of boys
Or kiss lots of girls
If that's something you're into
When the straight and narrow
Gets a little too straight
Roll up a joint, or don't
Just follow your arrow
Wherever it points, yeah
Follow your arrow
Wherever it points
Say what you think
Love who you love
'Cause you just get
So many trips 'round the sun
Yeah, you only
Only live once
So make lots of noise
Kiss lots of boys
Or kiss lots of girls
If that's what you're into
When the straight and narrow
Gets a little too straight
Roll up a joint, I would
And follow your arrow
Wherever it points, yeah
Follow your arrow
Wherever it points

It Is What It Is
I think were thinking to hard,
To put on your shoes and get in your car,
Put it in drive and point it this way,
We don't have to talk,
You don't have to stay,
But I ain't got no one sleepin with me,
And you ain't got no where that you need to be,
Maybe I love you,
Maybe I'm just kind of bored,
It is what it is
Till it ain't,
Anymore
We've tried being apart,
But the truth is,
We are who we are,
Were so much alike,
It ain't a good thing,
Too dumb to give up,
Too stubborn to change
But I ain't got no one sleepin with me,
And you ain't got no where that you need to be,
Maybe I love you,
Maybe I'm just kind of bored,
It is what it is
Till it ain't,
Anymore
Till something better comes along,
Till what ever we have is gone
But I ain't got no one sleepin with me,
And you ain't got no where that you need to be,
Maybe I love you,
Maybe I'm just kind of bored,
It is what it is
Till it ain't,
Anymore
Yea it is what it is,
Till it ain't,
Anymore
