Ashen streets and blown out homes
When they drop the bomb
Make your bed and fold your clothes
When they drop the bomb
Humanitarian aid bread line
When they drop the bomb
Mcdick's for lunch, dinner is wine
When they drop the bomb
All I wish for, all I pray
When they drop the bomb
A brand new whip and brand new lay
When they drop the bomb
Ten thousand sons, ten thousand swine
When they drop the bomb
Top shelf Rolex, still can't tell time
When they drop the bomb
Make America great again
When they drop the bomb
Foxes living among hens
When they drop the bomb
CNN and Fox News Live
When they drop the bomb
Tonight's top story, Dow's record climb
When they drop the bomb
Inauguration day, I sit
When they drop the bomb
Here's to four years eatin' shit
When they drop the bomb

Somewhere along the way
Came the big fade
Who is to say?
Alone with the night
No need to fight
Or play their games
Another day, another year
Behind the wheel but still can't steer
There's nothin' left for you here
The more ya lost, the more ya gained
Worn out sea legs and sour grapes
They come to bury, not to praise
Not to praise
So ya tipped the glass
Sippin' the past
Of all you'd been
Sank another pint
Began to drive
Began to spin
Another day, another year
Behind the wheel but still can't steer
There's nothin' left for you here
The more ya lost, the more ya gained
Worn out sea legs and sour grapes
They come to bury, not to praise
Another day, another year
Behind the wheel but still can't steer
There's nothin' left for you here
The more ya lost, the more ya gained
Worn out sea legs and sour grapes
They come to bury, not to praise
Not to praise
The road set to wind
Never even tried
To brake or slow
And as she began
To curl and bend
It felt like home
Felt like home

I Was The Snow

Daddy went down to the river
To the river, daddy went
With his hair slicked back and his shirt tucked tight
Glimmer in his eye lookin' for a fight
To the river, daddy went
Mama said "sit beside me"
"Sit beside me" mama said
Right or wrong, speech or song
Nothin' in this world ever lasts too long
"Sit beside me" mama said
A rifle rang out in the distance
In the distance, a rifle rang
A single shot, no reply
Silence stolen on a starless night
In the distance, a rifle rang
Daddy set for glory at last light
It's better off mama don't know
Dropped the hammer by his lonesome
And I was the snow
Daddy went down to the river
Daddy went down to the river
Daddy went down to the river
Daddy went down to the river

Suzanne, it's morning
You're not lyin' next to me
Run off to Virginia
Seemed a quiet place to be
Suzanne wants children
Runnin' round the bed
Wants a pond and a garden
The things she's never had
How did you find it in your hear to love a fool?
A truckin' ramblin' rollin' stone, to boot
I'll plot a course to cross this dusty land for you
Although I tried, couldn't help but cry anew
My Suzanne
My Suzanne
She's bathed in light now
She knows she's the only one
Temper's white as a heat wave
Now we live with what we've done
How did you find it in your hear to love a fool?
A truckin' ramblin' rollin' stone, to boot
I'll plot a course to cross this dusty land for you
Although I tried, couldn't help but cry anew
My Suzanne
