Dyin On My Mind
Amber Lynn wants to raise kids in the country
Joe’s just obsessed with the sin and the city
i’m in the suburbs just trying to survive
i got dyin on my mind
she wants a Prius and he wanted a Hummer
they compromised now they drive a blue hover craft
i never drive i can’t even unwind
i got dying on my mind
he loves his Bible she reads the Koran
he’s from Virginia and she’s from Iran
maybe it’s love but we still don’t survive
i’ve got dyin on my mind
he and his colleagues go hunting for charities
she joined the club that now let’s in minorities
i sit at home writing songs in the dark
i’ve got dyin on my mind
but maybe I’ll go out and paint the town red tonight
stumble home drunk and post pictures on the internet
i wish that I could but I don't have the time
i got dyin on my mind

Rebuilding Paradise
we go to church
just to meet who we’ll fuck til the end
reinterpret the bible
to mesh with the trends
blame all our tragedies on deeds of gay men
we’re the neighbors you dream about killing
on the weekend
we track the books that you read on your kindle in bed
we define the word marriage much better than you
trust me we’re trying we’re fishers of men
but we dabble in real estate development on the weekend
cause we’re rebuilding paradise
one brick at a time
we’re rebuilding paradise
with fences so high
We’ve been waiting patiently we’ve had our highs and lows
now we’re rebuilding paradise
in case he never shows
we all assume that messiah will show in our lifetime
so why fight diseases they’re just doing god’s work
trust me we’re trying we’re fishers of men
but we dabble in real
estate development on the weekend
cause we’re rebuilding paradise
one brick at a time
we’re rebuilding paradise
with fences so high
We’ve been waiting patiently we’ve had our highs and lows
now we’re rebuilding paradise
in case he never shows

Greene Whiskey Revival
i need to be saved not from all of my sins
but the ones that would put in jail
see i stole some things and i killed a few men
i aint paid my taxes just yet
well they say that jesus
will always forgive us
his anger is really quite rare
so point me the way to nearest cathedral
i got me one hell of a prayer
said oh precious jesus
wash away the worst of my sins
said oh precious jesus
i need to get my ass redeemed
well i read the bible
while drunk in a hotel
and it never mentioned my name
not sure what to do but i’m tired of running
and i can’t af-ford the co-caine
so i gave up scrappin
with holy ghost jesus
the father and all his commands
so I got me a haircut
and quit chasin short skirts
and now i’m one hell of a man
said oh precious jesus
wash away the worst of my sins
said oh precious jesus
i need to get my ass redeemed
forgive me my science
but my heart is much lighter
with Jesus residing with-in
but as the day lingers
temp-tation comes knocking
and i fear i may just give in
see i got to drinkin
with a quick witted woman
the kind that don’t ask you your name
thank god i’m forgiven
a child of the king
you guessed it, we’re fixin to sin
said oh precious jesus
wash away the worst of my sins
said oh precious jesus
i need to get my ass re-deemed

Jesus Loves Me
Jesus loves me this I know
for the Bible tells me so
little ones to him belong
they are weak but he is strong
but when we die
all his love will wash away
and in the end all those fables fade away
and we’ll never know we were alone
Jesus loves me this i know
for my father told me so
lovely words for me to repeat
a simple faith he passed down to me
but when we die
all his love will wash away
we’ll never ride in those chariots of fire
and in the end all those fables fade away
and we’ll never know we were alone
mother loved me this I know
everyday she told me so
last few days she struggled to speak
as she passed she whispered to me
when we die
all his love will wash away
we’ll never ride in those chariots of fire
and in the end all those fables fade away
and we’ll never know we were alone
so when i die
you can leave me in the rain
you can bury me or burn me on a pyre
i’ll be gone and finally free
there’s no ghost and no soul they have no control
did you ever know we were alone?
jesus loves me this i know
