Kristy Lee • dirt road soul

I'm gonna tell you a story about an olive tree, Jesus and me See, I was sippin’ on wine right off the vine, in Italy Im gonna tell you all about Saint Michael and the church in Rome an Alabama girl, 5000 miles from home... Jesus spoke to me underneath the olive tree I was sippin on wine thought i could be dying thought it was the end of time then I lit a candle at church in Rome 5000 miles from my Alabama home I said Saint Micheal Saint Michael you saint! Hurry up and save my soul before it's too late Underneath the olive tree... You see it took the angel of death to make me realize and think to myself I said self! Hey self! What you gonna do with all this time you got left Hey, what you gonna do with all this time? Then the answer came to me, rather abruptly underneath the olive tree Light shine It’s the only way to free your mind You got to let your light shine It’s the only way to free your mind Just keep it heart to heart in hard times Underneath the olive tree Underneath the olive tree Underneath the olive tree Underneath the olive tree Light shine It’s the only way to free your mind You got to let your light shine It’s the only way to free your mind Just keep it heart to heart in hard times

It feels like Im running behind Scribbled down thoughts laugh around my head humming like a train on time I count sheep but they leap for life Im running on a treadmill will the circle be unbroken Like a graveyard sitting real sweet underneath Alabama pines Is every thought I ever dreamed to bring to life Oh time take it easy on me time take it easy on me time your a sea of thieves hot box a cigarette until it burns your fingertips the soul of my boot has lost it’s youth oh everything I try to forget I want to change but can’t make up my mind oh time take it easy on me time take it easy on me time take it easy on me time your a sea of thieves Time you’re a sea full of wave after wave you’re breaking my brain oh time take it easy on me time take it easy on me time take it easy on me time you’re a sea of thieves

We’ve expired, We’ve expired so out of date so let's just face it we wrote our story now erase it You got a big big brain full of brilliant thangs You never say to me You keep me tossing in my sleep You got a heart pumpin full of blood I know but I can't feel it, Cause you conceal it It’s like a weapon that you hold That's so cold cold I tried to give you love you want my soul my soul my soul If you wanted me dead thats all you coulda said A long long time ago We’ve expired We’ve expired So out of date so let's just face it We've expired We've expired Leaving our treasures for the sea We're so romantic like the titanic Waving goodbye to everyone until we sink Lean in real close and I’ll whisper like a ghost a haunting faithful friend you fear let me whisper in your ear Dig in dig in, another shovel in so we can finish up our hole come on already take my soul We’ve expired We’ve expired So out of date so let's just face it We wrote our story now erase it We've expired We've expired Leaving our treasures for the sea We're so romantic like the titanic Waving goodbye to everyone until we sink I tried to love you I tried to love you I tried to give you love you want my soul If you wanted me dead thats all you coulda said a long ass time ago Pour the wine pour the wine At the peak of our demise let’s reminisce of how we started and now departed come on my love give me one last kiss We’ve expired We’ve expired So out of date so let's just face it We wrote our story now erase it We've expired We've expired Leaving our treasures for the sea We're so romantic like the titanic Waving goodbye to everyone until we sink

Your words ring out with a hollowing howl any thought you ever thought of me I can see through now And your hand doesn’t feel like a friend Your hand doesn’t feel like a friend There once was a time I tried not to shine So bright for you, But I was being polite now I leave you in the night... My fake friend, fake fake friend I’m not sorry if the truth, is troubling cuz you were pretty fucking rude and really could use, a little humbling Fake fake friend Take it all with you when you go Every single shallow word you spoke Don’t you wish me well This is the end Fake fake fake fake friend I’m not sorry if the truth, is troublin' you were pretty fucking rude and really could use, a little humbling Fake fake friend Oh, my fake friend, fake fake friend Take it all with you when you go Every single shallow word you spoke don’t you wish me well, This is the end Fake fake fake fake friend

I’m putting my pen to paper This time I'm leaving a letter Next to a picture that we painted together But hey, no worries babe I can leave my key you gave me to the city made a broken down girl feel so pretty I know Im not the only one you said felt just like the sun For What It's Worth Take anything you want if it makes you smile You never been happy enough For what it's worth Take all the memories you already forgot Cause karma come around, karma come around In your pretty town saying how, how, how, do you like me now? I’m running in circles trying to find my way out the door I keep on jumping these hurtles before I’m given some more The room keeps spinning around my head I can’t seem to get a grip I’ve taken this walk all by myself and it’s turned to such a long trip noises like rattle snakes can’t stop the burn tell me will there ever be a moment of peace to satisfy a simple urge For what it's worth Take anything you want if it makes you smile You never been happy enough For what's it's worth Take all the memories you already forgot Cause karma come around, Karma come around In your pretty town, saying how how how do you like me now? I’m running in circles trying to find my way out the door I keep on jumping these hurtles before I’m given some more The room keeps spinning around my head I can’t seem to get a grip I’ve taken this walk all by myself and it’s turned to such a long trip noises like rattle snakes can’t stop the burn tell me will there ever be a moment of peace to satisfy a simple urge For what it's worth Take anything you want if it makes you smile You never been happy enough For what's it's worth Take all the memories you already forgot Cause karma come around, Karma come around In your pretty town saying ha ha ha ha do ya like me now

Do you ever feel some days You just wake up to struggle No matter what game you play It's a losing battle You keep waiting, waiting For your ship to come in But it's made it's run, had its fun And sailed on off again Hold on to hope Hold on to hope Hold on to hope Someday you'll catch your boat And you'll sail on off to battle again Do you ever feel some days You just wake up to struggle No matter what game you play It's a losing battle You keep waiting, waiting For your ship to come in But it's made it's run, had its fun And sailed on off again Hold on to hope Hold on to hope Hold on to hope someday you'll catch your boat you'll catch a boat you gonna catch your boat And your sail will fill up with wind Your soul will be free And one with the sea And you'll sail on off to battle again Hold on to hope my friend you’ll sail on off again Hold on to hope my friend you’ll sail on off again Into the morning wind, I set my sail this is the dawning when I shall prevail myself I shall prevail myself If I don’t win, it’s not the end Hold on to hope Someday you’ll catch your boat Hold on to hope my friend until the end

My love is a circus You oughta know this by now Any words left unspoken, leave me to choking till they come out I never meant to make you feel anything less than real, love from my heart But like tattoos, I covered you with ugly words and scars Now I know, words hurt the most So, forgive me love While I dance with your ghost We took a left through the canyons but we climbed every hill Those mountains were monuments and those valleys filled Who ever knew how far we would fall The process of progress, The true root of it all

The devil’s in the kitchen cooking up a mess again When it comes to the cleaning there will be a lot to lift Outside the water’s gonna rise to the doorstep Just like the rising sun there is no forgiveness Oh it’s a hell of a mess I’m in Lord help me Jesus Can you get me through this There’s thundering clouds hanging over our house I can smell the rain I can hear the train Oh it’s a Hell of a Mess I’m in I feel it in my bones like the sea is coming after me in my home There’s gonna be a flood Taking everything that I own I can smell the rain I can hear the train I got my back up against a track I been dancing with the devil Forgive me Momma I got myself into trouble Life is but a game we’re playing You gamble with your soul at your very wakin' Find your voice and set it free Find your voice and set it free Lord help me Jesus I’m doubting everything that I know Water made it’s way to the pillows A drowning place to lay a head We rotted out the roots of the willows God help us both our love is dead
