Take me, take me somewhere trouble don’t go
Make me, make me someone trouble don’t know

He said baby come inside
I said sorry I’ve got to ride
Sorry but I’ve got to ride
You know you could end up dead
Sleeping in the devil’s bed
Sleeping in the devil’s bed

Take me, take me somewhere trouble don’t go
Make me, make me someone trouble don’t know

Baby wants to drive my car
But he wants to go too far
But he wants to go too far
First comes love and it’s so fine
Then comes heartache right behind
Then comes heartache right behind

My baby used to be so sweet
Now he won’t come down my street
Now he won’t come down my street
All my plans got derailed
He locked up my heart in jail
He locked up my heart in jail

Take me, take me somewhere trouble don’t go
Make me, make me someone trouble don’t know

Even though I hate to admit it
Sometimes I smoke cigarettes
The Christian folks say I should quit it
And I just smile and say “god bless”

Cause I heard Jesus he drank wine
And I bet we’d get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet he’d understand a heart like mine

Daddy cried when he saw my tattoo
But said he loved me anyway
My brother got the brains of the family
So I thought I’d learn to sing

Cause I heard Jesus he drank wine
And I bet we’d get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet he’d understand a heart like mine

And I’ll fly away from it all one day
And I’ll fly, I’ll fly away
But these are the days that I will remember
When my names called on a roll
He’ll meet me with two long stem glasses
And make a toast to me coming home

Cause I heard Jesus he drank wine
And I bet we’d get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet he’d understand
Understand a heart like mine
Oh yes he would

Pretty little thing
sometimes you gotta look up
and let the world see
all the beauty that your made of
cause the way you hang you head
nobody can tell
your my Virginia bluebell
my Viginia bluebell

Even through the snow
a flower can bloom
you just need a little push
spring is coming soon
umbrella in the rain
they’ll roll off your back
better watcha can realize what you have

Pretty little thing
sometimes you gotta look up
and let the world see
all the beauty that your made of
cause the way you hang you head
nobody can tell
your my Virginia bluebell
my Viginia bluebell

Put a little light in the darkest places
put a little smile on the saddest faces

Pretty little thing
sometimes you gotta look up
and let the world see
all the beauty that your made of
cause the way you hang you head
nobody can tell
your my Virginia bluebell
my Viginia bluebell

Take me, take me somewhere trouble don’t go
Make me, make me someone trouble don’t know

He said baby come inside
I said sorry I’ve got to ride
Sorry but I’ve got to ride
You know you could end up dead
Sleeping in the devil’s bed
Sleeping in the devil’s bed

Take me, take me somewhere trouble don’t go
Make me, make me someone trouble don’t know

Baby wants to drive my car
But he wants to go too far
But he wants to go too far
First comes love and it’s so fine
Then comes heartache right behind
Then comes heartache right behind

My baby used to be so sweet
Now he won’t come down my street
Now he won’t come down my street
All my plans got derailed
He locked up my heart in jail
He locked up my heart in jail

Take me, take me somewhere trouble don’t go
Make me, make me someone trouble don’t know

Time to get a gun, that’s what I been thinkin’
I could afford one if I did just a little less drinkin’
Time to put something between me and the sun
When the talking is over it’s time to get a gun

Last week a government man was there when I walked out of my back door
He said “I’m sorry to bother you ma’am” it don’t matter anymore
‘Cause even while we’re talking right here where we stand
They’re making plans for a four-lane highway and a big ole overpass

Time to get a gun, that’s what I been thinkin’
I could afford one if I did just a little less drinkin’
Time to put something between me and the sun
When the talking is over it’s time to get a gun

Mary says she’s worried about herself and her kids
She’s never known anybody had a gun and her daddy never did
Well I think it should be up to me ‘cause when it’s all said and done
Somebody’s gotta walk into the night and I’m gonna be that one

Time to get a gun, that’s what I been thinkin’
I could afford one if I did just a little less drinkin’
Time to put something between me and the sun
When the talking is over it’s time to get a gun

When the party is over it’s time to get a gun

And even though I don’t belong with your high life friends
Doesn’t mean we don’t get together and try to make amens
It’s easier can you see lets agree to just disagree
We don’t have to like each other but its sure fun to pretend

So lets shake hands and reach across those party lines
You got your friend just like I got mine
We might think a little differently
But we got a lot in common you will see
We’re just like you, only prettier

Everybody says you gotta know your enemies
Even if they only weigh a hundred pounds and stand five foot three
If you just smile and behave you could always get your way
It’s a universal plan that’ll get you where you can in all societies

So lets shake hands and reach across those party lines
You got your friend just like I got mine
We might think a little differently
But we got a lot in common you will see
We’re just like you, only prettier

So lets shake hands and reach across those party lines
You got your friend just like I got mine
We might think a little differently
But we got a lot in common you will see
We’re just like you, only prettier

Well I’ll keep drinkin’ and you’ll keep gettin’ skinnier
Hey I’m just like you only prettier

I feel like this long string of lights
They lit up our whole house
On Christmas day
But now it’s January
And the bulbs have all burned out
But still they hang
Like dead flowers

He ain’t feeling anything
My love, my hurt, or the sting of this rain
And I’m living in a hurricane
All he can say is, “Man, ain’t it such a nice day”
Yeah, yeah

I feel like the tires on this car
You said they won’t go far
But we’re still rolling
I look in the rear view
And I see dead flowers in the yard
And that string of lights
And it ain’t glowing
Like dead flowers, like dead flowers

He ain’t feeling anything
My love, my hurt, or the sting of this rain
And I’m driving through a hurricane
All he can say is, “Man, ain’t it such a nice day”
Hey, Hey, I guess it’ll just go to waste
Like dead flowers

Like dead flowers, dead flowers
