I Know Where To Aim; Hell, I'm To Blame

HURRICANE
dustin lynch
@ youtube
When she blew in I knew she wouldn't stay
Every now and then God makes one that way
Redhead wild child with storms in her eyes
I knew I'd never be the same
But that's the thing about a hurricane
She's all lightening and wind and rain
Get too close and you're swept away
Better hold on 'til it breaks
'Cause it's a hell of a ride if you can just survive the pain
That's the thing about a hurricane
 

ONE WING IN THE FIRE
trent tomlinson
@ youtube
I know he lives a little left of livin' right
And he's come close to goin' way too far a few times
But I'd say a thousand prayers
If just one prayer will come true
Please believe in him like I believe in you
I know he calls for more forgiveness
Then most folks do require
But he's an angel with no halo
And one wing in the fire

 

BLOWIN' SMOKE
kacey musgraves
@ youtube
I'm just flickin' ash into the tray
Tell them both it'll be okay
We all say we'll quit someday
When our nerves ain't shot
And our hands don't shake
But I'm just blowin' smoke

 

HOW DEEP THE WATER RUNS
kevin kostner & modern west
@ youtube
The lines you cross
The lines you can't
A quiet rage and a dark intent
Have all the days that we have spent been in vain?
How deep the water runs
How close the Devil crawls
Fathers and sons
Oh Lord, forgive us all

 

BARTHOLOWMEW
the silent comedy
@ youtube
Knee deep in the river tryin' to get clean
He says wash your hands, get out the stains
But you best believe, boy, there's hell to pay
Waist deep in the river, can you hear my plea?
He says, son, you come like a beggar in the streets
You might make it, boy, but by the skin of your teeth

 

BARTON HOLLOW
the civil wars
@ youtube
Please forgive me father
Can't go back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me wherever I go
Won't do me no good washin' in the river
Can't no preacher man save my soul
Miles and miles in my barefeet
Still can't lay me down to sleep
If I die before I wake
I know the Lord my soul will take

 

POMPEII
bastille
@ youtube
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
Oh, where do we begin; the rubble or our sins?

 

HEEL ON THE SHOVEL
16 horsepower
@ youtube
I'm diggin' you a shallow grave
And to the sun your face I'll raise
I'm diggin' you a shallow grave
One hundred buzzards buzzin'
Oh, everyone will see and everyone will know
That boy, you reap what you sow
Everyone will see and everyone will know
That boy, you reap what you sow

 

ARSONIST'S LULLABY
hozier
@ youtube
When I was a child, I heard voices
Some would sing and some would scream
You soon find you have few choices
I learned the voices died with me
When I was a child, I'd sit for hours
Staring into open flame
Something in it had a power
Could barely tear my eyes away
All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever tame your demons
But always keep 'em on a leash

 

KINGDOM COME
the civil wars
@ youtube
Run, run, run away
Buy yourself another day
A cold wind's whispering
Secrets in your ear
So low only you can hear
Run, run, run and hide
Somewhere no one else can find
Tall trees bend their leaves
Pointing where to go
Where you will still be alone
Don't you fret my dear
It will all be over soon
I'll be waiting here for you

 

DUST BOWL DANCE
mumford & sons
@ youtube
Well you are my accuser, now look in my face
Your oppression reeks of your greed and disgrace
So one man has and another has not
How can you love what it is you have got
When you took it all from the weak hands of the poor?
Liars and thieves you know not what is in store
There will come a time I will look in your eye
You will pray to the God that you've always denied
Well, yes sir, yes sir, yes, it was me
I know what I've done, 'cause I know what I've seen
I went out back and I got my gun
I said, "You haven't met me, I am the only son"

 

THE COWBOY IN ME
tim mcgraw
@ youtube
The urge to run, the restlessness
The heart of stone I sometimes get
The things I've done for foolish pride
The me that's never satisfied
The face that's in the mirror
When I don't like what I see
I guess that's just the cowboy in me

 

WAKE ME UP
avicii
@ youtube
Life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands

 

MUCH TOO YOUNG (TO FEEL THIS DAMN OLD)
garth brooks
@ youtube
This ol' highway's getting longer
Seems there ain't no end in sight
To sleep would be best
But I just can't afford to rest
I've got to ride in Denver tomorrow night
And the white line's getting longer
And the saddle's getting cold
All my cards are on the table
With no ace left in the hole
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
