Boozey Love

Cut me a lemon, babe
Squeeze me a lime
for I've got to taint my mouth with liquor
one last time
Yes, I know we made a deal, I broke it
tell me it's a crime
to love the bottle just a bit more
than you

It's a boozey love we have, we'll take it
it's just fine
if you've got the alcohol we've
got the time
and when the spirit runs empty
we'll just hit the holy wine
and then we'll pray for the
sun to rise

It caresses my soul
when I'm down and out, and when I'm
feeling great joy, more will I
scream and shout
if I'm angry already, babe
you best look out
because nothing’s gonna stand in my way

yes the body's a temple, darlin'
that's just why if the
God's have been forsaken
you best hide your eyes
for the ground will shake the walls
and sky's will brimstone fill and
see that done is the i darkest will

It's a boozey love we have, we'll take it
it's just fine
if you've got the alcohol we've
got the time
and when the spirit runs empty
we'll just hit the holy wine
and then we'll pray for the
sun to rise

VIn the worship hall of hooch we broke
the cardinal rule
sailing slowly in the black out on
our little ship of fools
your touch abandoned all serenity
and took me straight to school
where I learned about the
seed within my soul

in the morning my sobriety felt
like a penitentiary
if I kneel down and repent
it's just weakness in my love you see
renounce my evil ways and never
let it get the best of me
lest the drink create a
heart so cold

It's a boozey love we have, we'll take it
it's just fine
if you've got the alcohol we've
got the time
and when the spirit runs empty
we'll just hit the holy wine
and then we'll pray for the
sun to rise
and then we'll pray for the
sun to rise
I see the love deep within your eyes

Sea Meets the Sky

Drive your eyes to the clouds where the sea meets the sky
Stop your fussin' all day cuz you'll never know why
life is crushin you down with it's American pie
Let's ride
Just empty your pockets on down to the ground
take off all your suit clothes and come on down
from the river to the sea run South where the
Sun still shines

Mama, give me just a little bit of money
Gonna take a little trip with my cute lil' honeys
Don't you tire your mind we're gonna come on back
Next year
Daddy, I know that you're still lookin bet you're
Wonderin now just a what I got cookin'
Back burner's full, we gotta V sail on outta
Here

Drive your eyes to the clouds where the sea meets the sky
Stop your fussin' all day cuz you'll never know why
life is crushin you down with it's American pie
Let's ride
Just empty your pockets on down to the ground
take off all your suit clothes and come on down
from the river to the sea run South where the
Sun still shines

Brother, I know, that a you just wanna go
but whatcha gonna do if that wind don't blow
throw out the keys to the truck, come on get stuck
with me
Sista, don't cry, just you dry your eye
Lord knows everybody that's born is gonna die
but a what the hell's the point if you
never live life for real

Nobody knew just how it'd be
cause nothin in this life gonna come for free
But I'm doin alright and the bucket's overflowin' with
Love
It's too bad that there's still somethin missin'
Like my lady's old man and his huggin and kissin
If you just jump on board you'll see it fits just like a
glove

got old-ass squeezebox, a mini gutiar
three sweet little ladies and we're playin' some bars
ain't got two cents to rub together but we got some good weather
Come on, toss the lines!
Come on girls, let's dig on outta this hole
let's keep runnin' on South for that pot o' gold
when I take my last breath, you can't say I wasn't ever
alive

Drive your eyes to the clouds where the sea meets the sky
Stop your fussin' all day cuz you'll never know why
life is crushin you down with it's American pie
Let's ride
Just empty your pockets on down to the ground
take off all your suit clothes and come on down
from the river to the sea run South where the
Sun still shines
