Ladder Song

I've been on the ladder all day
I prefer the ground but the ladder pays
Legs are burning, tempers turning
I've been on the ladder all day
I've been swinging the hammer all day
I prefer the rod but the hammer pays
Toes gettin' cold, I miss home
I've been swinging the hammer all day
Chorus
Rain or shine, it's working time
Plant me a penny, try to grow a dime
Turn the soil over so the roots can breathe
One day we'll grow us a money tree
I've been diggin' them footin's all day
I prefer to be digging the foreman's grave
When I'm stallin', boss man's hollerin'
I've been diggin' them footin's all day
I've been working since I could stand
Just to bury my bones on my own land
Ain't that funny, another American dummy
I've been working since I could stand

Red Tailed Romance
03:19
|
|||
|
I won't let my heart ache, no not tonight I won't
And my hands won't shake on the way home
Golden rod and Queen Anne's Lace
On a late summer wildflower road
I wouldn't call it grieving, 'cause we're all
Hanging in here fingers blueberry stained
The sweetness of the fruit, and the bit of those too young
On a late summer wildflower road
Chorus
Red tailed romance, the chicken does the duck dance
Disguising himself as prey
Pray tell me, does the sheep's wool
Grow white with worry
I wouldn't say you'd miss me, 'cause I didn't leave too quick
And I shook the storm while you were gone
You can call me Harriet and I'll call you tomorrow
Further on this wildflower road
Chorus
Bridge
Half of us love the other when we've blown our cover

Goodbye Old Friend
03:24
|

It was last summer's end
And you weren't fairing well
It was life on the fringe
It was a curve in your smile
You had a kind word for me
In the places I'd ramble
You told me life is a bluff
And living is the gamble
Chorus
Goodbye Old friend
I'll see you in the morning
Well I sat on a raindrop
And the lamp is still broken
There's no harm in trying
There's no shame in hoping
I took a ride passed your house
There was a fire in the stove
I could see the smoke coming
From way on down the road
Chorus
In that old picture there
I bought at your store
When we played our old songs
To the friends that wanted more
And the stories they told me
From when you were my age
Made me happy as a rabbit
When the hawk flies away
Chorus

Let It Pass
03:21

What are we gonna do
Mr. American Flag
Mr. Diamond on your Finger
What are we gonna say
Mrs. Top Shelf Education
Mrs. Never Knew You Knew Her
Chorus
Is this just why I left the window open
So the storm could ride in on our mothers back
We'll step inside and first find the pantry
So we can bake a cake and let it pass
Where are we gonna run
When the road leads to the ocean
When the road leads you to screaming
Where are we gonna live
When hills are full of padlocks
And the paddock is your eatin'
Chorus
What are we gonna sing
My friends from the barroom
My friends all married singers
What are we gonna leave
Some leave a beautiful mess
And some just leave their dinners
Chorus

Go Away
03:24
|

|
I'm taking all the things you said
And I'm putting them up on the shelf
I took those flowery words you said
And I'm putting them up on the shelf
'Cause I've not got the space
I've not got the space up in my mind
No I don't have a place
I've not got a place for you inside
Chorus
So go away
Kindly go away
Spacing out the pillows just so
To fill up my bed
Spacing up the drinks just so
To fill up my head
Cause I can't find the time
Can't find the time in everyday
And I can't find my place
I can't find my grace along the way
Chorus
Bridge
Put your hands out in the dirt
And weed me right out of your garden
And I'll do the same, I'll do the same damn thing
I'm taking all the things you said
And I'm putting them up on the shelf
Spacing out the drinks just so
To fill up my head
Cause I've not got the space
I've not got the space up in my mind
And I can't find my place
Can't find my grace along the way
Chorus
