Ryan Bingham - Fear & Saturday Night Album Lyrics

Nobody Knows My Trouble

I've been carrying my trouble
In this pack strapped to shoulder
Ever since I was a baby
I've been running from everything I know
Don't you tell me about my trouble
'Cause nobody knows about my trouble
Nobody knows about my trouble
Except for my baby and me

I was born a cowboy
Way out west in New Mexico
Time's were tough, we had to let it go
We moved to town but they couldn't move it out of me
It was way down in my blood
Thicker than anyone understood
Nobody thought that I ever would
Get away with the trouble in me

I've been carrying my trouble
In this pack strapped to shoulder
Ever since I was a baby
I've been running from everything I know
Don't you tell me about my trouble
'Cause nobody knows about my trouble
Nobody knows about my trouble
Except for my baby and me

Well it didn't take too long
For the pills and the bottom of a bottle
To dig a deep grave with a shovel
And bury everything that a young boy needs
But I found me a guitar
One lonely night in a border town
My pain, I started to right it down
But it wouldn't stay away from me

I've been carrying my trouble
In this pack strapped to shoulder
Ever since I was a baby
I've been running from everything I know
Don't you tell me about my trouble
'Cause nobody knows about my trouble
Nobody knows about my trouble
Except for my baby and me

So I got the hell out of there
Made my way up to the big town
Checked myself into the lost and found
What do you know, my baby come for me
Now I'm living the good life
Away from all of the bad advice
I take every day like it's a paradise
So people stay away from me

I've been carrying my trouble
In this pack strapped to shoulder
Ever since I was a baby
I've been running from everything I know
Don't you tell me about my trouble
'Cause nobody knows about my trouble
Nobody knows about my trouble
Except for my baby and me

Broken Heart Tattoos

You are unborn and yet to be scarred with tattoos
The blood in your arm, hell, it's good and it's warm and still free to choose
So take your sweet time and walk a straight line in two
But don't you be shy in your wilder side or be afraid to let loose

With broken heart tattoos

Somewhere inside where it all lives and dies I know
There lies a heart unbroke in the dark where love still grows
So follow the roads that make you feel old and brand new
If you remain kind yet aware of the signs then you'll know what to do

With broken heart tattoos

Your unspoken thoughts are yet to be bought or sold
The whispers of time will write down the lines and stories will be told
As the wind blows your life will unfold some truth
Remember that eyes shoot arrows through lies should you sing out of tune

With broken heart tattoos

Top Shelf Drug

Where in the hell have I gone
I woke up this morning undressed
Might have been a little too drunk
I can't get you out of my head

You shot me up, baby, with a wonderful love
I got a little taste, now I can't get enough
You shot me up, baby, with a wonderful love
Running through my veins like a top shelf drug

Got me walking in my sleep
Visions all around my bed
I'm loving these crazy dreams
I can't get you out of my head

You shot me up, baby, with a wonderful love
I got a little taste, now I can't get enough
You shot me up, baby, with a wonderful love
Running through my veins like a top shelf drug

No matter what I do or say
You're the butter on my bread
I need you every night and day
I can't get you out of my head

You shot me up, baby, with a wonderful love
I got a little taste, now I can't get enough
You shot me up, baby, with a wonderful love
Running through my veins like a top shelf drug

You shot me up, baby, with a wonderful love
I got a little taste, now I can't get enough
You shot me up, baby, with a wonderful love
Running through my veins like a top shelf drug

Where in the hell have I gone
I woke up this morning undressed
Might have been a little too drunk
I can't get you out of my head

Island In The Sky

Would you walk with me
High above the clouds below
So we can feel without fear
A future that we've never known

For I believe that we still
Can make it out of here alive
If we can climb the rolling hills
Up to the island in the sky

I met a man at sundown
He said he come from San Antone
He had a horse named Downtown
Said he was born a running blood

He said, "My friend, you shall have him"
If on his back, you can ride
Across the river, down through the valley
Up to the island in the sky"
Up to the island in the sky

I've got my worry in my pocket
I've got my heart out on my sleeve
You got the silver heart-shaped locket
Ain't nothing else that we could need

Break in the weather, hold onto me
Cross your fingers and don't you cry
Get it together, we can make it
Up to the island in the sky
Up to the island in the sky
Up to the island in the sky
Up to the island in the sky
Up to the island in the sky

Would you walk with me
High above the clouds below
So we can feel without fear
A future that we've never known

For I believe that we still
Can make it out of here alive
If we can climb the rolling hills
Up to the island in the sky
Up to the island in the sky
Up to the island in the sky

Adventures Of You And Me

Uno dos tres quatro

We broke down on the side of the road
Heading up to New York City
You held your thumb out in the wind
I held a cardboard sign for Lower East Side Bridge

Across the Brooklyn Bridge, the rain was falling
The wolves of Wall Street swallowed the Empire State
We never cared 'cause the old town bar was hopping
We got drunk and we danced around in the street

Adventures of you and me will last forever
I'm not too sure about this world
I hope someday it all comes together, baby
Until it does, well, I'm sure glad that you're my girl

Heading back west, yeah, we come undone
And the train derailed in Texas
Two-stepping down on the Guadalupe
With the Tornadoes and Flaco Jimenez

We made friends with long-haired hippie stoners
Living so high that our minds are out of reach
We come down 'cause the music in town was balling
We closed our eyes and we danced along with the beat

Adventures of you and me will last forever
I'm not too sure about this world
I hope someday it all comes together, baby
Until it does, well, I'm sure glad that you're my girl

Hitched a ride on a deisel freight liner
Out across New Mexico
Sipping cerveza with salt and lime
Singing along with songs on the radio

We passed out and woke up in California
The concrete jungle was a-busting at the seams
The angles down in Los Angeles were calling
So out on the boardwalk we danced all night with a breeze

Adventures of you and me will last forever
I'm not too sure about this world
I hope someday it all comes together, baby
Until it does, well, I'm sure glad that you're my girl

Fear And Saturday Night

Some folks are scared that the world may be round
They hardly could walk on the streets of this town
Where out on the corner, the devil sits down
Seeking out strangers who stray out of bounds

But I don't fear nothing except for myself
So I'm gonna go out to raise me some hell
I'll take my chances, I was born to run wild
Hell, it's Saturday night, I'm going to town

If I'm feeling anxious, I'll put back some rounds
Maybe the 90 will settle me down
I don't care for fighting, but I'll come unwound
If some fool is aching to push me around

'Cause I don't fear nothing except for myself
So I'm gonna go out to raise me some hell
I'll take my chances, I was born to run wild
Hell, it's Saturday night, I'm going to town

Sometimes I run with the unwanted crowd
Faces of shadows and alleys surround
Gunshots are heard as the sun hides the crown
The cops on the night shift will soon shake us down

Well, I don't fear nothing except for myself
So I'm gonna go out to raise me some hell
I'll take my chances, I was born to run wild
Hell, it's Saturday night
Hell, it's Saturday night
Hell, it's Saturday night, I'm going to town

My Diamond Is Too Rough

People they tell me
As they look upon my skin and bones
You're ragged and you're dirty
Hardly worth your weight in gold

For all of your suffering
No one gives a good goddamn
It's all about the money, son
We doubt you understand

Yodelay-ho
They say your diamond is too rough
Yodelay-ho
I'd never trade it for their love

Sometimes at night
I look upon the stars above
They never shine as bright
As my diamond in the rough

People they tell me
Just to give up and go on home
But to have no home to go to
Is something they'll never know

Yodelay-ho
They say your diamond is too rough
Yodelay-ho
I'd never trade it for their love

Yodelay-ho
They say your diamond is too rough
Yodelay-ho
I'd never trade it for their love

Sometimes I feel
Like I ain't getting nowhere
I'm walking down this road
With a burden I can't bear

I never let this world
Get too heavy on my shoulders
'Cause my diamond always will
Pull the weight that I'm under

Yodelay-ho
They say your diamond is too rough
Yodelay-ho
I'd never trade it for their love

Yodelay-ho
They say your diamond is too rough
Yodelay-ho
I'd never trade it for their love

Radio

Hey, baby, won't you come and kiss me
I need your love tonight
Wrap you arms all the way around me
Tell me I'm alright
I know the hardest part of living
Is letting go
Bad dreams and sad memories
Keep playing on my radio

My radio makes me want to just lose my head
My radio makes me want to just lose my head

In your car, driving on the freeway
You put your hand in mind
My radio is static like cocaine
I never close my eyes
I've always heard that you could dream
Beyond your doubts
I hesitate but I know my transceiver
Is living in the here and now

My radio makes me want to just lose my head
My radio makes me want to just lose my head

So take me out to the middle of somewhere
So I can hear the moonlight
My radio is breaking up and I feel
I got the wires crossed inside
I know I feel this way
'Cause I keep it to myself
I can't go on this way
Honey, baby, I need some help

My radio makes me want to just lose my head
My radio makes me want to just lose my head
My radio plays me over and over again
My radio makes me want to just lose my head

Hey, baby, won't you come and kiss me
I need your love tonight
Wrap you arms all the way around me
Tell me I'm alright
I know the hardest part of living
Is letting go
Bad dreams and sad memories
Keep playing on my radio

Snow Falls In June

If the snow falls in June
And leaves no excuses for summer
The sky fades from blue
And steals your light of day

Share with me your wounds
And open up your window to wonder
There's a helpless tune
That I could help you sing

If you ever call my name, I'll come running
When your sorrow sings in pain, I'll be there
If you ever feel a change in your weather
Take shelter with me here
My dear
If the snow is falling in June

If ever you lose
Whatever turns your tears into laughter
And the bridge is broke in two
Your love has lost the way

Just hand me over your blues
Break away the bad from your burden
Settle into your shoes
Let me tie your strings

If you ever call my name, I'll come running
When your sorrow sings in pain, I'll be there
If you ever feel a change in your weather
Take shelter with me here
My dear
If the snow is falling in June

My love for you is true
Without you I'm a shipwreck abandoned
Your my lady in the moon
A blanket made of stars

If you ever call my name, I'll come running
When your sorrow sings in pain, I'll be there
If you ever feel a change in your weather
Take shelter with me here

If you ever call my name, I'll come running
When your sorrow sings in pain, I'll be there
If you ever feel a change in your weather
Take shelter with me here
My dear
If the snow is falling in June

Darlin

Darlin'
Hold it inside
Never let your fire die
'Cause I don't wanna lose my way
Here I can no longer stay
Without you

Darlin'
Let's dance on top of the wire
I'll try to keep myself in line
And feel everything that you know
And keep my troubles offa your toes
So dance with me

It all comes down with the rain
In the mornin', darlin'
There's no one here left to blame
Anymore
It all comes down with the rain
In the mornin', darlin'
There's no one here left to blame

So dance with me...

Darlin'
Hold me tonight
Never let your fire die
'Cause I don't wanna lose my way
And here I can no longer stay
Without you

It all comes down with the rain
In the mornin', darlin'
There's no one here left to blame
Anymore
It all comes down with the rain
In the mornin', darlin'
There's no one here left to blame
Anymore
So dance with me

Hands Of Time

Running out of time, I got to move on
Got to move before the darkness and the daylight come
Running out of time, I got to move on
Got to move before the madness of the maker's son

So take me to a straightaway and I'll outrun

The hands of time
The hands of time

The hands of time, a precious thing
Just can't wait around to hear the fat lady sing
The hands of time, a precious thing
I just can't live so I can die on memory lane

So take me to a straightaway and I'll outrun

The hands of time
The hands of time
The hands of time
The hands of time

Running out of time, I got to move on
Got to move before the darkness and the daylight come
Running out of time, I got to move on
Got to move before the madness of the maker's son
So take me to a straightaway and I'll outrun

The hands of time
The hands of time
The hands of time
The hands of time

Gun Fightin Man

Can you understand?
How does the devil and a gun get in a dead man's hand?
It's hard to make amends
When you're six feet underneath a no man's land

He was a gun fightin man

It was the power of a choice
To never hear his mother's tears but to feel her voice
Through a world of wicked eyes
Just a-bleedin from the hip of a wild brush fire

He was a gun fightin man

Love will never know
That blood is a shadow of a stain in the road
Another smile with no remorse
When death comes a-ridin that pale white horse

He was a gun fightin man
